Just In Case

If you ever want to make your head explode, alternate discs of "World of Narue" with "Boogiepop Phantom." If that doesn't do it, few things in this world will.

Also, Key the Metal Idol rocked. Erik thought it was like Chobits, but he only watched about 15 minutes of it (a few minutes from four different episodes) and read the back of the discs, so he can be forgiven for that. Episode 14 was the show's biggest flaw, I think - 90 minutes of "Tell, don't Show" isn't really much fun. I think they could have found a better way of unfolding the backstory than that.

Work...so...boring!!!

I've been wanting to see Key the Metal Idol for a long time. Real long. I didn't know it had that many eps, though.

Yea - the first disc has 7 ~30 minute episodes, the second disc has 6 ~30 minute episodes, and the third disc has two ~90 minute episodes. It's good. Head-explody, but good. I feel better now about not writing the spoilers I wanted to put in.

Boogiepop Phantom is also very good - hard-core psychological. Depression, OCD, schizophrenia, and whatnot. Pretty dark, makes you think. You might like it. The ending kicked ass (in my ever-so-humble opinion, of course).
