It seems to me...

... as if I've been rather complimentary these past few reviews. I've given a few high ratings, and generally not had many bad things to say about series. I don't want to come across as one of those people who just praise anything that's anime, so I had better point out that for most of the series I watch, it's because I enjoy them. Therefore, the majority of series that I watch will probably receive a good amount of praise.

Anyway, I'm currently putting together a review of Clannad ~After Story~ (I'll have it up sometime after the final episode has aired), and it's yet another huge block of praise. I'll say now that it's one of the best series I've seen in a long time. So if you're fed up of my handing out the love (edit: if you actually read this blog at all, and are fed up of...), you may want to skip it ;)

Don't worry, I've also picked up a few dodgy series (Tytania springs to mind), and specifically gone after an extremely poor OVA (Twin Angel, if you were wondering), so don't worry, I'll be hating on some stuff soon enough.


Oh, and as an aside, I have recently experienced firsthand that Virgin Media suck ass. This week I've had my connection speed cut between 4PM and midnight, supposedly because I have made "excessive downloads" which have "detrimentally affected other customers". They claim to have cut it to 80kbps, but I'm not even getting 20.

For one thing, this is going against their advertising, which claims unlimited downloads. Also, if I'm downloading so much it's affecting others, they could just have cut my bandwidth until I finished the download. Not too hard. Recently, the service in the area was drastically improved, and I achieved over 200kbps for the first time ever (shows you how crap my connection was before, huh?). So how can you blame me for downloading more, if I have a better connection?!

Unfortunately, I still live with my parents, and they are perfectly happy with Virgin (although not so happy at me for buggering their connection). So until I move out, I'm stuck with restricting my speeds to the crap I had before. Oh wait, I'll be going to uni, where torrents are blocked altogether >_<

If you are a customer of Virgin Media, I suggest you leave them as soon as possible. If you aren't, then for goodness sake, don't join.
