I have a massive anime backlog that I'm working through bit by bit, though the show that's sparked the nearest thing to fannishness in me lately has been Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!. (I just added two icons for it to my icon roster, one of which is used here.) It is a deeply silly show, a straight-faced, unashamed parody of the magical girl genre with an all-male cast, cute animal mascots, lovingly animated nude transformation sequences for just about everyone, a Ridiculously Overpowered Evil Student Council (commanded by their own mascot animal, an evil green hedgehog), and a great twist ending. But for all its silliness, the characters manage to hit everything I love about the genre, right down to the redeeming power of friendship -- and especially for the Evil Student Council, who all have sympathetic backstories for why they're on the side of evil in the first place. I think it's one of those shows that just hit me at the right time.

Work has been sucking up too much of my creativity for RP as of late, but perhaps I should push myself to try a little harder and see if I still have a few sparks in me yet.
