CAUTION: Do not read the notes in the pictures if you haven't watched Victory Gundam episode 49 yet! There be spoilers.
While I'm laid up this week, I thought I'd give you a behind the scenes peek at my notes for the upcoming episode and what I generously called my "process" for taking them. It's mostly a stream of consciousness record of my impressions watching the episode, but I have a tendency to go on long digressions when I find something really interesting.
Sometimes I'll even stop in the middle of watching the episode to go research some point - which might add multiple hours to the process!
Once they're written, I rarely bother organizing or referring back to them. It's the act of writing that locks the thoughts in my memory, and a quick glance at the page before we start recording is usually enough to refresh me about what happened.
