I took some trollbait on the soldats forum and next thing I knew I was merrily scanning through IMESH for the last handful of Star Ocean EX episodes I’ve been looking for (12, 15, 16, 17, & 18). It’s zippy enough on the search end, alrighty, and there are a lot of pertinent files out there but DAMN does it ever take a lot of bandwidth away from my meager little fserv…

I imagine once I’m done grabbing this particular batch I’ll go back to plain old IRC. Though it actually takes longer to get anything (with queues and all that), it feels more like I’m actually participating in the process.

I think this’ll be the last one. During my last stint in #soldats-fserve, before I was mysteriously disconnected from it, I got the mystical Final Fantasy Unlimited episode 25. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, but word is that this wraps up the series. On to a new obsession, I suppose. Or possibly G-On Riders episode 7.

A nice repository of official site links. A lot of schoolgirl romantic comedy stuff. Not the the girlie shojo stuff, though.

I’m looking for a utility to get time-delayed screenshots off of AVI (divx4) files. The Real Bout High School image gallery isn’t getting hit all that much, so either Star Ocean EX or G-On Riders will be the subject of the next gallery.

A little ecchi, a little campy, don’t know much about it, but I’ve come across G-On Riders, a cute show done in the style of Hand Maid May (complete with a giant robot that looks strikingly familiar). More research and downloading will be required, but the Real Bout High School gallery may well get replaced with a G-On Riders one, time and resources permitting.

The Iketeru Futari collection is now complete, thanks to the kind folks at #soldats. Thanks, folks. Someday I’ll have to put up an fserve so I can feel a little better about my leeching habits.
