\"That<\/a>
That is<\/i> faster than my usual cruising speed on my bicycle, but if you’re planning to bop around the solar system at 25 k\/h, pack a lunch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I sampled a few of the summer offerings on Crunchyroll. Classroom Crisis<\/a><\/b><\/i>‘ chief distinction is that every single one of its characters is annoying. It also make unreasonable demands on one’s willing suspension of disbelief. Pass.<\/p>\n

\"Just<\/a>
Just how densely rocky is the asteroid belt? There’s no way you could navigate through this at 25 k\/h, let alone 250,000 k\/h.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

GATE<\/a><\/b><\/i>, on the other hand, might be very good if it doesn’t overplay the otaku card. See Steven<\/a> for comments and screencaps. Update<\/strong>: There’s a more detailed discussion of the first episode here<\/a>, with lots of screencaps.<\/p>\n

I recently discovered that Hulu has The Avengers<\/a><\/b><\/i> from the 1960s, with Diana Rigg and the late Patrick Macnee<\/a> in glorious black-and-white. I’m pleased to note that Steed and Mrs. Peel remain excellent company. Checking just now, I see that Patrick McGoohan’s Secret Agent<\/a><\/b><\/i> is also available. I’ll have to see how well it corresponds to my memories.<\/p>\n
