I've never been much of a morning person, really. I prefer seeing dawn only before going to bed, not after waking up. Rolling out of bed around noon is much more my style.

Can't complain from a work perspective, though - knocked out three episodes of Ayakashi Ayashi today, easy as pie. Interesting show so far, though it seems to be going through a procession of character introduction arcs. We've already seen the main character (the guy who pulls weapons out of kanji) and the little Mexican girl (gotta love those Texan samurai... no, seriously, the show has them!), followed by the reverse trap (though in this show, there's just about 0% fanservice.)

Next up looks to be the boss, who's a student of Western learning - not an entirely good thing to be in the early 1800s in Japan. I actually just reviewed this period of history, and it's fascinating how the country tried to ignore modernity, and then seized it with both hands and rode it for all it was worth when that wasn't an option anymore. Fascinating period, both before and after the bakumatsu that's been covered by Kenshin and by Peacemaker. The sort of history I could really sink my teeth into...

...except that Shoko has already thoughtfully, and exhaustively, researched everything in advance, so there's nothing left for me to do. ;p Beats the alternatives, I suppose! (Hey, if you're going to do a historical piece, get the history right. And it's a huge bonus when the translator goes the extra mile on things like correctly spelling Aztec deities' names, though we went down that road before with the Mayans and RahXephon...)

So my reward for outrageous productivity is... well, more Lucky Star to work on, which is a "watch what you wish for" title if there ever was one. And a pile of filthy lucre, I guess, which I shouldn't complain about...
