Good luck, looks like you're almost done though :D
What genre would interest you? There's pretty much an anime for everything, and if you don't mind subtitles and Japanese dubs then it greatly increases the amount of shows available for watch.
I have loaded images, the thing is, I need to get creative now.:) I just wrote a function to do LZ77 Decompression to decompress sprites. It returns a byte string. Now, I need to get this loaded into an image.
Want me to introduce you to some good series? :D
Also, no I haven't. I haven't don anything image/GUI based with python at all. I don't think it's hard though, there are a lot of good tutorials from a quick googl search out there.
