well, since some lazy ******** at work decided to cover their a** by blaming the fact they weren't getting done what they were supposed to do on ME I now lack a job, and considering I live in MICHIGAN this means without an assload of luck I'll be a while finding a new job.

to pass the time I'm looking for suggestions of anime to watch, preferably stuff that's being streamed legally or maybe some older stuff (80's or earlier) that's good but never got licensed and likely never will.

I do have a backload of anime DVDs I've either never finished watching or stuff I watched fansubbed but haven't watched the official release yet, but I'm looking for some other options because sometimes I tend to skip around, watching a few eps of this, then some of that, then something else, then go back to a few more of the first. there's also the fact that as much as I do try to keep up with good titles sometimes I miss some, and this could be a chance to find those gems I missed.

my taste when it comes to anime is pretty eclectic. I love so bad it's good stuff, sci-fi and fantasy, I like a well done shonen action series on occasion, but I also love a nice deep seinen title, I'm not big on vampires but if they're done well or amusingly I will go for a vampire series, I love things involving mythical animals AND prehistoric animals, I don't mind romance in a series but I don't go for a series that focuses mainly on romance unless it has a good twist or is VERY well done, when it comes to gender relationships I don't mind heterosexual ones or homosexual ones, I'm turned off by too much ecchi fanservice but if there's some or it's plot relate I'm more open to it. I also don't mind filler as long as it's well done filler. heck, one of my favorite titles is Blue Seed, a 26 ep series based on a two volume manga.


but, yeah, I am kind of pissed at this whole situation. I spent over 5 years giving my best, working sometimes beyond my limits, I had customers regularly praising my work, several pins recognizing my hard work, as well as comment cards on the breakroom board showing glowing praise from our customers... and I get canned because someone who regularly zoned out and left their post decided to be a major a*****e and blame their lack of getting their job done on me.

good news is I may be getting a job at B&N because a friend of mine works at one and is more than willing to put in a good word for me. perks at working at one of those include employee discounts and being able to borrow books (including manga!) for 14 days. with any luck it'll work and I'll be talking my dad into multiplying the amount of shelving that's already in the house.
