Going to try and make this into a personal blog....

[serenitywheeler]

 I've been blogging on the Internet for a very long time now. In fact, I remember the very first time I actually used a blogging service once and that, was almost 11 years ago. I pretty much used all kinds of web blogging sites from Blogspot to Wordress to Tumblr to LiveJournal to fc2 and now, Dreamwidth. The ones I've used the longest and quite consistently would have to be Wordpress and Tumblr. I have tried many a time to start and keep up a sort of personal blog that isn't on Tumblr. Since I have found that Tumblr isn't the place for one to write out their thoughts. The site itself, is more fast paced and instantaneous with content popping up every single second of the day. Also, if anything Tumblr is more a visual site meaning content there is more geared towards, art, photography, videos, screenshots, animated GIFs, and the like.

So, as an attempt to hopefully FINALLY maintain a personal blog of my own, I'm going to try and post stuff here to Dreamwidth as often as I can. In the past, I've attempted to do this with LiveJournal, but either I forgot or wasn't really motivated to do at the time. I even tried again with fc2, but then I realized that blogging site wasn't for me. So maybe, the third or fourth try would be the charm.

What will I talk about on here? I haven't really decided on that yet, but I'm leaning towards making this into a animation, anime, manga, and pop culture discussion blog. I watch a lot of anime and read some manga as well. So maybe, if I feel like Twitter isn't giving me enough space to talk about things, I'll post my thoughts on whatever I'm watching/reading here. With that being said, if anyone actually stumble upon this blog, don't expect any organization. All the things I read and watch are really spontaneous so everything will be scattered.

Well, as Porky Pig would say, "That's all folks!"

Arrivederci everyone!

Thoughts on ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. Episode 1: Jean the Cigarette-Peddler

Watch on YouTube

Out of the blue today I decided to watch an anime series from the Winter 2017 season. It is titled ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. It is based off of a manga series by Natsume Ono.

At the beginning, I didn't know what to make of this anime, but what really caught my eye is the animation style and visuals. Now, I'm not too familiar with who's who in regards to animators, but I can tell from my perspective, this show is pleasing to the eyes. At least in the sense of animation quality. 

Plot wise, I thought it to be very consistent and I do believe there are hints of foreshadowing throughout the show. Like for some reason, one of the ACCA Chief Officers wants to terminate Jean Otus's inspection department. An exact reason wasn't exactly given as far as I could see. Whatever it is, I have a feeling things are going to get interesting in future episodes.

Overall, I'm glad I decided to start watching this show. As mentioned before, I like animation and plot. However, there is one thing I'm curious about. Why are cigarettes so expensive in that kingdom? There was mention of some ACCA employees being involved with black market activities over tobacco. Makes you wonder how does Jean even have the money to buy them. 

Also, to Jean. Stop smoking man! It's bad for you health!
