Anime Review: Adventures of the Mini-Goddess DVD 1 'The Gan-Chan Files'

From the rentanime.com site:

Super Small = Super Cute! Whenever Keichi leaves the house, Belldandy, Urd and Skuld shrink themselves to play with the other residents of the area - including their clueless rat sidekick, Gan. Whether it's a battle against Gan-zilla or adventures in kitchen appliance romances, the goddess adventures are dangerously funny! Gan: Although frequently the butt of the goddesses jokes and the victim of their mistakes, Gan the rat persists in his absolute devotion to Belldandy and never questions whether Urd and Skuld may be dangerous for his health...

My Review:

Pretty good time waster...but not all that great to think of as anything else. Basically it is fun to watch once, maybe twice to say you have seen it, but don't expect much more then a pleasent distraction. I still can't get used to the deformed look of it, though it is cute, it just doesn't look right to me. And the voices are much different then what I remember of the original series...but I am used to the original series more then the mini-goddesses. Overall, I would give it a 3/5

PostSecret: Staying sane in an insane world

The more shit that hits the fan, the more I realise I am not sane.

Why do I start off that way? Because things haven't been going the greatest, and I realise more and more, that I am not as sane as I thought. So how am I holding on to any part of reality? I found a site, or rather a blog, a long time ago that helps me realise that my feelings, and thoughts aren't that off the beaten track. There are people out there that more or less go through what I go through, or think, or feel. This blog is PostSecret. You can find it at

These people are real people (supposedly) that make postcards about their inner most thoughts, feelings, secrets. I read it weekly when it updates on sunday, because it makes me know that I am not alone. For music fans, it may be of interest that the All American Rejects had a song/video portraying postcards from this site. Well, this is where it started. There are books now that features all of them, with a new on coming out.

Yeah, this sounded like an ad, but it does help me feel not alone, or out of touch. Now if only I could get a hold of myself and my emotions...
