My LE Zero no Tsukaima Volume 1 DVD arrived from Japan today, so here are some nice piccies.

A very disappointing round in terms of crowds, with only Queensland Roar drawing a five-figure crowd. New Zealand drew yet another diabolical crowd — surely the FFA has to take a serious look at the club. Perth are still struggling to bring back their NSL-era crowds, and Central Coast can’t seem to go far beyound [...]

At the behest of Princess Henrietta, Louise along with Saitou and Guiche (because he was eavesdropping) set out to Albion to retrieve a letter that contains sensitive information. They are assigned a guardian to assist in their journey. This guardian turns out to be Ward, who is arranged to be married to Louise! Naturally, Ward [...]

Sydney FC 2 drew with Newcastle United Jets 2 at Sydney Football Stadium
Round 4 saw last place Newcastle visit a Sydney side tormented by injury and bad luck. Things got off to a great start for the home side, with Steve Corica converting a penalty mid-way through the first half. When David Zdrillic headed home [...]

After watching through six episodes of this series, I’ve pretty much given up on it. It’s just not doing much for me — watching it is feeling more and more like a chore. This is a real shame, as I really enjoyed the manga and had high hopes for this series.
