My punishment for being late

Miken: Well, I told Minnie that I’d have this one done eventually. Of course, with timing Tales of the Abyss 18, reviewing Tales of the Abyss 19 , trying to typset Tales of Destiny: Director’s Cut chapter 2 and then getting distracted by Ar Tonelico II…Days have passed and I still want to pull the “eventually” excuse. Bah — I’m half-assing this review before the translator yells at me for being a lazy bum and not doing my work on time. That means more images and less description than usual. Lucky for me, this is a Shonen show, and the first 5 minutes are filled with the opening and “LAST TIME ON KHR”.

Sorry, that was my stomach growling

Episode 116:  Difference of Resolution

Miken: With just 13.5 minutes of new story material and a super-long “Haru Haru’s Interview: Dangerous” coupled with another skit, I’m left sorely disappointed…Almost as disappointed as I was by the GBA version of Tales of Phantasia, but that’s a story for another day. Anyways, thanks to the shortened episode, I’m going to try out another format which will involve everyone skipping over the summary just to make fun of my lack of humor.

What? My barrier is failing and all I can do is have an internal monologue!

Miken: Ah, yes. As you can see, this is my first post. I hope you all can bear with me while I do my best to not mess up horribly. My format for this episode probably won’t be as descriptive as I’d like due to the fact that I’m using raws. I’m also going to try to experiment with some different styles over the next few entries to see which one fits my mindset the best. Many apologies!
