. Thursday, April 4, 2002... I love Chobits. I love the Chobits opening, I love the Chobits animation quality, I love the Chobits seiyuu. CLAMP, usually I hate you all, but at the moment I'm halfway through watching episode one, and feeling fairly appreciative. :D Thanks for making an anime that's really entertaining me. And I've never heard Kumai Motoko play a girl before. I never knew she could squeak like that. Everyone else's voices are perfect, just the usual stuff for Inoue Kikuko and Seki. *ufufufufu* My only complaint is that the opening sequence is a tad...boring. It rests on the same picture for about ten seconds, blah...but the song's absolutely fabulous so I'm not complaining. X anime disappointed me early on, but this show is one I'll be watching every week for sure. ^^ Happy. she cackled @ 03:18 p.m. Thursday, April 4, 2002... *evil cackles* I finally found a readable Tokyo Mew Mew cast listing. The girls are pretty unknown for the most part, but Zakuro will be NODA JUNKO!!!! That's absolutely PERFECT for her, if she uses her KareKano Maho voice!! *cackle* And I'm downloading Chobits anime right now. Life is good, but will be even better if I can find Full Moon and Tokyo Mew-Mew online in a few days. And I've also begun watching Sailorstars again...now that I'm older and wiser, I'm starting to realize that my childhood revolving around this show...is probably how I ended up where I am today. Of course Sailormoon and its oddities are like breathing to me, I was hooked on the show (in its various forms) starting in fourth grade and was lost ever since...but now with the fact that this is my first watching of these tapes in literally years, and the first time I've ever understood the dialogue...wow, I love this show again. And you've just got to love Ogata as Haruka. Pretty, pretty voice. H_H she cackled @ 10:41 a.m. Wednesday, April 3, 2002... Re: college stuff. There are more high school students than College People, and I don't know of a single high school student who likes the System. If this isn't a call for open revolt, I don't know what is. And just in case you missed it, Ikuhara is coming to Fanime, Ikuhara is coming to Fanime, Ikuhara is coming to Fanime. SPARKLE WITH ME, PEOPLE. Because he does the greatest panels ever, despite the fact that he doesn't really answer questions. Last year some girl asked, "What's it like working with Koyasu?" and Ikuhara replied, "He's my rival." And the next girl who asked a question told him, "You don't need to worry, you have MUCH nicer teeth." ^^ ("How come Juri gets all the girls?" "Because I introduced them to her." "Then how come Akio gets EVERYONE?" "...because I showed him how to.") And this is my fifth consecutive year of congoing, which is also cause for celebration. *squeak* she cackled @ 03:27 p.m. Wednesday, April 3, 2002... np: I'm Your Friend - Gundam Wing Meg, there's no reason any of my addresses shouldn't work since I've been getting mail fine. You can just send it to ksainttail@aol.com or give it to me whenever I'm on AIM. Shiori, p8 is up if you want to see. I need your help with Council stuff- either I need your old sketches so I can adapt them, or you need to give me descriptions and whatnot like usual? I'm going on to 9 now, but I'll just leave them kind of sketchy and more cloaked than usual...all if you feel up to it of course, I hope you feel better. *hug* she cackled @ 03:13 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, 2002... *tries to calm hysteria* Of course I dreamt of it, I knew it was possible, I sparkled at the idea, but...!! IKUHARA IS COMING BACK TO FANIMEEEEEEEE~~~!!! KIIIX-CHAN~!!! CAN WE STALK HIM TOGETHER THIS YEAR AT LAST?!!! XD *swoons* Last year we missed the guest banquet or whatever by about five minutes. Here's to praying we get there on time this year. *_* I worship that man. *shimmers endlessly* HAPPYYYYY~~!!! Meg, did not get address... she cackled @ 11:40 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, 2002... np: Sleepless Beauty - Gravitation I am all settled down now, because after relaxing today I finally remembered what I wanted to do with my life in the first place! I've been having delusions up till now, that's all! I knew what I wanted to do forever ago, and it doesn't require college education! I AM GOING TO MARRY SEGUCHI TOUMA. I just need to remind Les (who is also worried about college things) about our plan to murder Mika and Ayaka in their sleep, and make off with our respective pretty boys. (Not that we have anything against Mika or Ayaka...) Just another day that proves my theory that yaoi fangirlism heals souls, and Gravitation is no exception. I like my crack. In my currently stressfilled life, it's my crack that keeps me alive. But of course I'll be sharing, hopefully at the end of this week. :D she cackled @ 02:17 p.m. Monday, April 1, 2002... Really, at the moment I'm really regretting that I am a year younger than everyone else in my grade. Not that there's anything I could have done about it, but here I am with one less year of life and all the opportunities it offers than the rest of my competition. Talked with mom. Argued. A lot. We comfirmed that I am basically an idiot, if I wanted to go to art school etc I should have damn well been doing a lot of other things before this point (thus, my regret of that loss of a year) and now I am starting to change my mind. My mother refuses to be satisfied with art school because firstly I have no proper background or preparation, and secondly she doesn't want me to box myself in. I personally didn't want to go to a big school, since the idea of just being one face in the crowd doesn't appeal to me, but now it looks like I'm going to have to start staring at huge schools with their splendidly diverse programs = I can get the hell out of art when I snap into reality and realize that YES I SUCK. I've been crying so long my face feels like it's twisted and tired from it all. And I feel really stupid, because with the information everyone in the world is shoving at me, I feel like I ought to know EXACTLY where I'm going and EXACTLY what the FUCK I'm going to do with my life, I should have known all this yesterday. Or months or years ago. Stupid. Or rather not exactly what I'm going to do with my life, I need a plan for EVERY possibility that COULD go wrong and to have all kinds of contacts for people in whatever industry I want to work in and have numbers numbers numbers. So I'd just like to take this opportunity, during my little nervous breakdown, to tell the whole system that's causing me and my friends misery, to go to hell. Thank you. she cackled @ 07:22 p.m. Monday, April 1, 2002... np: Call Me Call Me - Cowboy Bebop Kikyo-chan, I'd love to see an article about Disney nowadays. I was forced to watch the "Cinderella" sequel yesterday, and when Cinderella started talking like a valley girl, I almost wept. I'm glad you two like layout. XD The whole layout-swapping idea was really cute- I thought I was losing my mind when I went to check Adeline's blog this morning. Which I guess is the desired effect. XD Ah~ Tomorrow till Friday, I'll have the house to myself during school hours. It'll be a little lonely, but happy and quiet...right now I'm really paranoid since I just sent in my Fanime reg today...along with my art table contract and money. But the website wasn't very good at explaining exactly how the art table money should be sent, so I ended up wrapping cash and sending it along with the contract... *sigh* Blah. Of course it's only $20 (aside that I only have about $6 to my name now and it needs to be spent on mail ;_; the $20 was my Easter gift money~~~!! SAD.), but...if I end up not getting a table because their directions are nonexistent... *twitch* she cackled @ 07:22 p.m. Monday, April 1, 2002... Meg, dear, it got on the list. See, there's a little pile of Landry toys and Sailormoon stickers right there in the corner there, along with a CD with the last few episodes of Furuba and some X anime and other junk. It was a priority for my day up to the point I asked to go to the post office, and realized I had misplaced your address. :D I tore apart my room looking for some old envelope from you or something, but I must have stashed them...somewhere. So. I have your anime and Sanrio goods hostage till you mail me your address ne. XD (It was a noble effort on my part, though...) she cackled @ 07:22 p.m. Sunday, March 31, 2002... np: No Style - Gravitation *eyes gleam* TO DO LIST FOR THIS WEEK: 1. Finish Bound chapter one. Damnit. 2. Write Fine Arts paper. 3. Finish Bound chapter one. 4. Translate: Gravi, Pretear, I*O*N, Wind-Up Tina 5. Finish Bound chapter one. If at any point am NOT doing something Bound-related, I should be PLUGGING IT. Plug, plug, plug. *cough* 6. Strawberrymoon.net, but that on backburner until (suprise) Bound chapter one is done, uploaded, and all who love me are forced to read it. 7. BOUND, BOUND, BOUND, BOUND!!! DESIGNS AND MANGA AND COVER ART AND EVERYTHING IMAGINABLE! You'll have to excuse me; in roughly twenty-four hours (the majority of which taken up with sleep and Easter), I've drawn, inked, and edited four pages. I've been spending the last few hours on page five, so I'm on quite the roll. And Shiori and I are going to take over the world with our manga. Mm. On another note...am I the only one who sincerely believes that several times a week, the members of CLAMP really gaze out over the world and think, "HAH. HAH. HAH. WE RULE YOUR FANGIRLISM-INFECTED SOUUUUUUUUUULS!!!"....? I'm serious. I'm absolutely positive you could feed several third-world countries on the money they get out of us. she cackled @ 11:45 p.m. Sunday, March 31, 2002... Kikyo-chan, deshou? That was the line that floored me, too. "Kawaii kara, maa ii ka!" =_= Demo ne, "nikoniko kill kill" tte no wa Eriol no serifu to ittemo...kono e no Touma no hou ni mo niau kara iin jan? Maa, Touma ima wa nikoniko shitenai kedo sa, futsuu wa sou mieru kara. she cackled @ 09:13 a.m. Sunday, March 31, 2002... Adeline, I knew you'd like it. XD Um...Gravi 10 deals largely with Shuuichi trying to get Yuki to say "I love you," but after the usual crossdressing antics, Yuki said, "Give it up. The only one I love is Kitazawa Yuki." So Shuuichi went to Yoshiki, and told...her? him?? that Yoshiki's brother wasn't fair for going off and dying before he dumped Yuki properly. So Yoshiki said he came to Japan for that purpose, and cut his hair and dyed it to look exactly like Kitazawa...and he and Shuuichi set off to see Yuki to make his life hell. Yuki knew it was Yoshiki but he still freaked, and Yoshiki pretended he was Kitazawa. :D Yuki: QUIT IT YOU DEMON!! Yoshiki: *jumps on top of Yuki* I think it's "Please stop, sensei", isn't it? Yuki: Damnit, Yoshiki, I'm gonna kill you, I swear I'm gonna kill you. Yoshiki: "Kill" me? Like you did that time? Eiri-kun. Eventually Yuki and "Kitazawa" talk things out, sort of settling their problems a little. :D Meanwhile, Touma had shown up at the door, and he and Shuuichi sat outside in the hallway listening to Yuki's screams XD while Touma remarks that, "Of course this seems like a ridiculously stupid method to help him, but really? The best way to cure trauma, is with trauma!" Touma and Shuuichi talk some, but then Shuuichi kicked the door down and they saw Yoshiki sitting on top of Yuki... XD XD XD Shuuichi freaked out, and Sakano appeared out of nowhere and started restraining Touma...and everyone else runs for their lives before Sakano loses his grip. Touma hacks Sakano in the head and returns to normal, and says seriously, "But, Sakano-san, I really did do my best...the one I hate is Kitazawa Yuki. And Yoshiki-kun is not him, nor does he have anything to do with this...but..." And then there's this huge picture of Touma SPARKLING all nikoniko and he says gleefully, "I COULDN'T hold back, Yoshiki-kun was acting SO MUCH LIKE HIM~!!!" Soo cute~~! XD I'm glad you like layout though~~~ *cackle* she cackled @ 09:13 a.m. Saturday, March 30, 2002... Really? *squints at it* ....... ...I don't know. Maybe it's only funny in context? *_*; I suspect that's it. Anyway, I was almost going to use the Tokyo Mew-Mew spread as new layout, and that would be lots scarier. Because nothing is more frightening than those sugary-cute catgirls yelling, "MEW-MEW STRAWBERRY RIBBON!"...nothing. she cackled @ 11:10 p.m. Saturday, March 30, 2002... Verdict on Full Moon and Tokyo Mew-Mew trailers: have not really read Full Moon so shouldn't complain about seiyuu, but Mitsuki sounds BORING like she can't ACT AT ALL, but it is just a trailer. Ichigo's seiyuu is FABULOUS. And the animation and theme song, Kikyo-chan, both seem good. The theme song sounds catchy, but not enough to make me bang my head against the wall. "Ittai NANNANO~~?! Atashi wa futsuu no shoujo na no yo!! Kore de marude NEKO JA NAI? Demo...kawaii kara, maa ii ka!! Go-nin no onnanako-tachi ga, kyuuto na seigi no mikata ni DAIHENSHIN! MEW-MEW STRAWBERRY! Chikai ni kono jikan kara wa, Tokyo Mew-Mew ga hajimaru yo! Zettai miru nyan!" (Something like that, she talks FAST.) Me: *horrified* ....I am such a mahou shoujo *SLUT*. But I will say that while I did not exactly envision Aoyama as an Ogata Boy, his design makes him look very much an Ogata Boy. I will watch this, but I WILL HATE MYSELF FOR IT! JUST WATCH! ...*whimper*...but it's soo cuute...and the designs are really really nice...and and and...I am lost. she cackled @ 07:39 p.m. Saturday, March 30, 2002... np: Dame! - Rurouni Kenshin Meg, just got the seiyuu list for Full Moon. Have NOT HEARD of a SINGLE ONE (nor are they showing in database), except for Honda Chieko (!!!!!!!) who I am ECSTATIC about. I love her I love her I love her. She'll play Merukko. *squeak* HONDA CHIEKO~!!! I LOVE HER~~!!! she cackled @ 07:23 p.m. Saturday, March 30, 2002... np: Eden - Yami no Matsuei I look at this layout and I think that I am evil, somehow. But, Touma is sparkly and lovely and wonderful even when he has gone absolutely insane and has grown...claws? and things. I sort of wanted to layout the one of him pushing Tacchi into ongoing traffic, but that's for another day...oh hell, I REALLY wanted to have Shuuichi going off the spool screaming in Yuki's face, "ORE WA HOMO DAAA~~!!!!" and Yuki going, "...s-sou ka." But it's Touma nonetheless, and can't go wrong with that. XD she cackled @ 05:57 p.m. Friday, March 29, 2002... *snort* Got my hair chopped off. Stupid woman didn't even LOOK at the picture I brought or LISTEN to what I wanted, did she. I'm not going to complain really, it's not that bad, and we'll see how it looks once I wash it. >_<; But~~~ I asked for it to my shoulders so I could pull it back, and of COURSE IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO PULL BACK (goody, the one thing like the picture she got right, even though I ASKED her to make sure it could be pulled back)...er, give it a month and I think I can, though...and she said she'd layer it like the picture I brought, but noo~~ is ALL same length. Stupid. I'm not that mad since I only cut my hair on a whim anyway, and I just wanted to go for a few months with short hair to see if I liked it. The cut is cute, but I'm sure I'll grow it out to at least two inches below my shoulders. :D she cackled @ 06:39 p.m. Thursday, March 28, 2002... Meg, I saw the Full Moon seiyuu. They're up on the official anime site- I just can't read a single one of them (except main girl will be played by a girl named "myco" or something??? never heard of her). That doesn't mean they aren't half-famous, it just definitely means there's none of my favorites. I can recognize most brilliantly famous names- enough to send me into shrieks when I saw the Chobits cast, anyway... But the studio IS different from KKJ anime, I pray... she cackled @ 09:56 p.m. Thursday, March 28, 2002... np: Sleepless Beauty - Gravitation Kikyo-chan, I never said I LIKED Licca-chan or Tokyo Mew-Mew. I can wholeheartedly say those manga are crap. But that doesn't change the fact that I own both Licca-chan tankoubon. It just doesn't. *cringe* And the Licca-chan music was fabulous in its headache-inducing way! "Ne!" was like, half as bad as the second Kodocha opening...anime in general was bad though. But...I mean...it's OGATA MEGUMI now. O.O I must have read the seiyuu listing like four times before I realized, oh hello, I DO know those people. And anyway, the show will be worth watching just to see if the opening sequence can even compare to the awful, awful experience that was Licca-chan. If I remember correctly, "Ne!" had the cast popping out of pink flowers... she cackled @ 09:56 p.m. Thursday, March 28, 2002... AUUUGH~~!! MIDORIKAWA HIKARU IS GONNA PLAY AKASAKA FROM TOKYO-MEW MEW~~!! .....why am I excited? Akasaka isn't even that important of a character. O_O; OH. MY. GOD. *OGATA MEGUMI* IS GONNA BE AOYAMA. *faints from sparklies* I wonder who Shirogane is. Someone's gonna encode this awful, awful show, right? It's going to be the most terrible show ever created, but while before it was only shamefully addictive...now...is is ADDICTIVE WITH OGATA MEGUMI playing the main boy. I do not feel quite as guilty. *cackle* I'm really hyped to know who the other girls are now... she cackled @ 05:31 p.m. Thursday, March 28, 2002... np: Only One - Digimon02 Um...let's see, ran to Mitsu today. Bought April Asuka, Newtype, Gravi 10, and Houshin Engi 21. Asuka was kind of disappointing, but I've never even SEEN an Asuka on the shelves at Kino before, so of course I bought it simply for the D.N.Angel chapter. The calendar included was cute, I just wish Asuka wasn't so cheap on color pages- X got two (one for story and one for ad) and the front manga got some, but that was all. Blah. D.N.Angel was okay but I'm kind of lost as to what's going on... Newtype I bought for the Chobits article. Chii is on the cover, and there's six pages- a two-page spread of Chii, two pages of color character sketches, and two pages with interviews with Ohkawa and the character designer. X had four or six pages (don't remember)...I actually was hoping for some kind of recognition about Full Moon wo Sagashite, but there was nothing- is it really debuting this April? If so, Newtype has nothing to say about it, which makes me wonder if it got pushed back (a good idea, I think). There was also that spread for Tokyo Mew-Mew anime as well, but I couldn't read any of the seiyuu names...except Kakazu Yumi, who will play Mint. I'm looking forward to it. *cringes* Houshin Engi 21 was good, but now I'm kicking myself for not buying 22. I only have five more volumes left and I'll be done...volumes three, four, five, nineteen, and twenty-two? This one was a good tankoubon, though. I really liked Kibi's fight...just bad cliffhanger, though I have a fairly good idea of what's going to happen next. Gravi 10 left me shrieking, since I've wanted that one forever. I thought there would be a lot more Touma in it, though...my head is spinning from everything that happened. I'll have to read it at least two more times, I think, but this volume had a lot of punchlines where I didn't understand the word. Does anyone know if Gravi 12 is out, by the way? I really want it to find out what Ryuuichi is up to!! I really don't get it- does he hate Shuuichi after all? The relationship between those two has always been shaky at best, but Ryuuichi always said that he didn't hate Shuuichi. So why is he being so awful to him~~? Evil ending to volume eleven... But yes. That manga just leaves me hysterical every volume. XD she cackled @ 04:37 p.m. Thursday, March 28, 2002... Some crack to break everyone's brains, for the Nakayoshi fans: IKUMI MIA-SENSEI IS A GUY. I picked up Newtype today and in the Tokyo Mew-Mew spread they had "a few words from Ikumi Mia-sensei" which I skimmed, but my brain did not process much besides "boku" and "feeling like a father watching my characters grow up [to be in anime]". (Ikumi Mia-sensei, for those who don't know, always draws him(?)self as a chibified thing with bunny ears, cannot write a sentence in manga notes without adding hearts galore, and draws sickeningly addictive magical girl stories. The kind that I buy, and hate myself forever for wasting good money on. Namely Super Doll Licca-chan and now Tokyo Mew-Mew.) *cries* The...the Licca-chan manga...the MAGICAL KITTY manga...the only thing that comforts me is that Ikumi-sensei didn't write either one, which saves my brain, because those are just the sort of storylines that just ought to come from girl writers up at four AM. she cackled @ 04:37 p.m. Thursday, March 28, 2002... np: Here With Me - Dido Hahahahah. I am considering cutting my hair. My hair, since around third grade or so, has ranged from very long, to medium-long. Maa- I have tomorrow to think about it. I'm getting it cut with 'Neesan on Friday. My-chan congratulations on your grades! You mean you're not in love with Akito?! Nobody seems to like him. Oh well. More Akito for me (well, us ^^) Yeah, most people seem to like Kyou better (during the show run he was ranked about #3 anime character in Japan while Yuki was always near #18 or #20) but...I have such a weakness for Hisakawa doing boy voices. Though in retrospect, I didn't care for Miki all that much by the end of Utena...not in comparison to the rest of the cast, anyway. Though I admit a sick obsession I've developed for Kozue. Am seriously amused by what I've heard of the X anime ending. I'm not sure which DoH stuck it out till the end, but I think they killed exactly enough people to make sure not a single coupling was left except Yuzu/Kusanagi. Ashita is, I believe, Mitsu shopping. :3 Excited...I'd better get to sleep though, as we're apparently leaving at nine. The day is pretty much shopping around for low-price homes around the Bay Area, but 'Kaasan said lunch at Mitsu and things. she cackled @ 12:06 a.m. .
