Last Exile 21
[SPOILER WARNING]
.
.
DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIO ==>.<==
Screw Hemu, screw Fuudo - THAT was sad! And he's not even dead o.O
Delphine. Must. Die!!!!
My bad feelings didn't turn out completely right and the crew is thankfully still alive. When Dio and Claus came back it really looked like a ghost ship. Delphine came looking for Dio and took over Sylvana.
Most of the crew was evacuated to Urbanus (Damn Sophia! She gets to be treated to Vincent's coffee. Booooh!), but Alex of course had to stay. He was playing Neo this time, going all out to kill Delphine, but didn't predict Luciora's Evil Brother to be cooler then him. Luciora's Evil Brother is cool *____* He definitely looks like the Dark Elf. And his voice is so devilishly evil… Too bad that he's such a bastard :P
And Luciora!? ARRRRGH!!! I believed in him! I know it's not his fault, but how could he? Was Resius' "Looks like you'll be able to make it" talk only gibberish? And it tore my heart out when Dio was still screaming for him, when he was guided to the Argon Ritual. Methinks, I screamed even louder then him ;_;
I have some hope left, that the "Castling Luciora" does have some meaning, and that he will have enough free will to save Dio in the end. If Dio still can be saved, that is ;_; I didn't like the "You killed Dio's heart" thing, Claus said in the next teaser.
Black!Dio looks kakkoii, but it's not my singing-glomping-playfull Dio! I want him ba~ack! And he was so happy only an episode ago ;_; *huggles Dio*
Yosh! Now to wait for the subbs - always a good excuse to watch the episode again. Last Exile owns me~

BGM ¯ Fuji Syuusuke & Yuuta - Sempre Com Irmao
This is the type of song you should never listen to after the dark, when you're home alone. It gives me the creeps even now *shrudders* Chibi-Syuusuke and chibi-Yuuta singing in chibi-voices "la~la~la~la~la~" o.O This is wro~ong in so many ways

Anyway, if you think I will write anything about Loki 21, then you're mistaken - the pain is still fresh XP I never expected a cheerful series as this to turn into such an angst-bundle ;_;

What I am going to write about is Get Backers. Lately I thought I was bored with this series. Sure, the filler episodes were fun (Kazu-chan in a nurse uniform always gets some laughs and the "horse" was a killer XD), but something was missing. So I stopped downloading it some time ago. But since I heard about Kagami's comeback, I skipped the episodes I missed and jumped straight to 43.
Finally a new arc has started! Everyone is back in the Mugenjou, where, the one who was up until now referred to only as "that man" - Kuruzu Masaki came back. Tah-da-dum! I don't like him - he kidnapped MakubeX. My poor cyber-shota-kun was kidnapped! Hidoii >.<
But there are also other new charas: an adorable psychopathic Windmaster (I love the crazy look in his eyes), a bitchy woman, who re~eally doesn't understand something about Ginji and Juubei's biggest rival for Kazuki. And I'm glad Ren is back too. The ending of the first Mugenjou arc was too cruel for her ;_; So, counting her, now we have a love square for Kazu-chan ^_^
Too bad Akabane-san didn't appear yet. I still hope he will. And in the next episode there will be a nearly shirtless Fuudo!! I've gotta tell this to sis - she'll be delighted ^^

*still listens to Sempre Com Irmao* why are they making happy shota sounds in the middle of it o.O? *twitch*

BGM ¯ A-Ha - You Wanted More
I should seriously stop listening to this song. Ever since that video on Yukicon, it makes me think evil Ara/Boro thoughts and I'm even starting to reconsider my "no yaoi in LotR" resolution o.O
Damned song! Why does it have to be so slashy? And in the way that I'm a complete sucker for >.<

Anyway, I got my hands on Loki 18-20 (*glomps Vegs to death*) as well as some other Loki goodies (*glomps Vegs some more*), which I have't look through yet.

18 - Just another adorable filler. Urd put a spell on Loki, so that he becomes anyone who toughes him. Insanity ensues.
Screencaps: x x x x x x x x x

19 - It's getting sad ;_; Narugami-kun fell in love, but the Norns had to meddle in and use this opportunity to brainwash him into killing Loki. So it's another Loki vs Thor duel. This time with super dramatic scenery and a sad, sad end ;_;
Screencaps: x x x x x x x x

20 - This time it's Skuld's time to angst. She would be even nice (the Loki/Skuld flashbacks were kind of touching ;_;), if not for that Playboy photo session she had XP What was the point of this scene again?
Screencaps: x x x x x x

And today I'm getting the 21st. I have a ba~ad feeling that it's not going to be only angst this time =>.<=

But I'm very proud of myself that I had almost no problem with understanding those episodes, even though they were without subs. Guess my Japanese isn't as bad as I thought. Yesterday I even managed to sign up on the LE site, so that now, I have access to all the areas. Thanks to that, my desktop is currently occupied by a lovely Alex wallpaper *_*. So what that it has Sophia on it too. As long as she's in the uniform, she's tolerable. I hate her only when she goes into the Empress-"love and peace for my people"-mode. And that horrible royal dress of hers. Sorry, but she looks like a cow that hasn't been milked for too long in that dress. Yuck! Poor poor Claus...
But since I do realize how childish it is to dislike a chara only because she gets in the way of my dream pairing, I try really hard to like her, at least when she's so delightfully ignored by Alex-sama ^^ (I'm starting to get really worried about Vince though o.O)
Yes, I desperately need the next episode! But I'll have to wait at least until Wednesday >.<

At least now my Bit Torrent is finally free and I can download something else. I guess I should catch up with the Get Backers episodes. I'm not sure about it, but rumor has it, that Kagami is back in 43. Me likes Kagami *_*

And maybe I'll continue with Gad Guard. I've seen the first episode and didn't really like it plotwise, but it has Suwabe in it, so baah. He has so few roles that I can at least follow them. And if my ears aren't wrong the main hero is Suzumura to make things more fun ^_^

DIO~DIO~DIO~DIO~DIO~DIIIIIO *____*
[translation: Set watched LE 20]
It was such a Dio-centric episode ^_^. He looked so genuinely happy for the first time, when the Sylvana crew made him a birthday party. End the enthusiasm of his 'ryoukai's was just priceless. I knew from the start that he was going to become one of the good guys.
Which makes me hate Delphine even more. Poor poor Dio ;_;
And what's with the cliffhanger!? That is just too cruel! Especially with the enigmatic preview of the next one:

Dio (in a sing-song voice):
~Sylvana is a ghost ship~
~Luciora isn't here any more~
~I'm all alone with Immelman~

They couldn't do what I think they did! No no, Luciora has to be alive (as well as the rest of the crew!). At least until the 23rd ep - from the teasers on the official site I know that it's going to be a Dio & Luciora flashback eppie. The title is "Castling Luciora". Another chess title. But castling sounds nice - so protective. At least I'm cleared of doubts about Luciora's loyalty to Dio. I was starting to worry about him when he said that Dio AND Delphine are everything to him. But if the second part was really true, then Delphine wouldn't send Luciora's Evil Brother after him. The Evil Brother looks cool though - he reminds me of the Dark Elf from Record of Lodoss War. Which reminds me:

[an anecdote about the Dark Elf from RoLW]
At first I thought HE was Pirotess. In the middle of watching the series, I was reading character introductions on some website. About Pirotess there was: "A Dark Elf in love with Ashram". Don't know why I immediately thought about him - I wasn't even into yaoi back then. Guess it was always in my vines ^^
[end anecdote about the Dark Elf from RoLW]

[goodnight]

BGM ¯ Vast - I'm Dying

So I was kind of bored and feeling creative:

Vince and Alex during the good old days, sharing a cup of Urbanus Special Brew ^^

Because normally Alex is a very genki and optimistic creature. The reason behind that stoned look on his face isn't depression, like everyone thinks - he's just a caffeine addict on a really long rehab. Poor thing. He probably hasn't had a drop ever since he left Vincent ("princess" Sophia can't even make him an espresso :P).
Yes, I'm trying really hard to keep Alex' life Vincent-centric. If mr."hisashiburi" isn't the reason for his angst, then he doesn't angst at all XP
...Yuris who?

BGM ¯ Placebo - I'll be yours

I'm denying the fact that's it's morning already. I don't feel like morning. I feel evning-ish. So I've pulled the curtains shut, and am enjoying a nice evening with good old Placebo, Apocaliptica, and Creed, with sounds of rain in the background :3
The things I've been listening to lately were kind of scaring me. In the relapse of my Suwabe love, I dug out my X soundtracks, to find Yakusoku. Funny that I didn't notice before, that on the same single there was something called "Fuuma dialogue mix". Whatever has "Fuuma" and "dialogue" in the title couldn't be bad, so Set played it. Umm… You know the typical techno songs: someone shouts a catchy fraze (like "Love and Peace", "Free Your Mind" etc.) and the mindless yts yts yts' follow? Well, it's something like that… only with "Ore wa mou hitori no KAMUI DA!" as the catch fraze o.O
And I won't even mention Tachibana's sailor song...

I can't remember the last time, I was so impressed by an episode, that I couldn't tear my eyes away from the screen, through the whole ending credits, with my jaw on the floor. I've just watched Last Exile 15 *___* Things are starting to be explained! Everybody angsts! Everybody loves Claus and angsts about it! I love Claus too! That about raps it up ^^
I didn't think Alex could look more tortured. The way he said "Maestro Delphine" just broke my heart. He finally decided (or was rather forced) to tell the truth about his past with Claus and Lavi's fathers. And Yuris (*holds back, not to say anything not nice about her* I'm just biased, I know). Plus he explained a few important things, like "what is Exile?". The plot speeds up.
And now Sophia turned out to be Anatore's princess. Argh!! Me wants next episodes!! *bites Bit Torrent*
On the other note: Look how Dio looks gorgeous in this shot *__*
(reminder: find some better program to make screenshots - the quality of those sucks!)

Anyway, I think I'll do some photoshoping. I downloaded tons of new brushes and have an idea what to do with them.
Or I'll just jump around Japanese LE sites some more. I just found a Vincent fangirl, squealing on the way he said that "Tsuriaizo, Alex". It's so nice to find a Nihonjin-sama with the same opinion as me ^_^

BGM ¯ Berserk OST - Murder

Last Exile 7-14
Now I'm fully in love with this series. If at first I watched it only for Alex-sama, I'm completely over it by now. Mostly because of Vincent and Dio.

I knew about Vincent before and was impatiently awaiting his appearance, but this guy is even better then I expected. A coffee addicted biseinen, shamelessly hitting on Alex ^_^. Alex calls him "Vince", by the way. Those two have everything to become my favorite pairing. And their parting was so cliché and theatrical, that I thought I was watching a soap opera:

Vince: Then I'll have to fight you.
Alex: …
Vince: This will be hard for me, Alex…
Alex: *turns on his heal, swishes his coat dramatically and walks away*
Set: I love you guys ;__;
And I love the "shut-up-woman-who-will-never-understand-our-passionate-male-friendship" way Alex treated Sophia. She's starting to get annoying.

Then, there's Dio-sama. Ever since his first appearance, I knew this guy would be FUN. He's just like a big child, with a strange habit of glomping people from behind.
And he has a wee~ttle obsession about Claus. Which isn't that original, because I'm starting to think that everyone in this anime will sooner or later fall in love with Claus. He's just amazing. One must be an angel (or Alistia ;)) to be able to put up with Tatiana and even befriend her. If I ever thought he was annoying, it was all Lavi's fault. In the beginning she had that annoying tendency to speak in his name.

Tatiana on the other hand is finally having some character development. At first I thought she was just a cold bitch, but I was completely put of track when she referred to Alistia as "her best friend" and was really worried about her, when she saw Sylvana sink. One twisted relationship they have. Me likes ^^

Well, I kind of like everything about the series now *__* The LE world is getting more and more fascinating (what's with the "migration capsules"?)
The Sylvana mechanics are just great. Nosferatu-san (that's what I call the bald albino one) cracks me up whenever he appears. Must be something about his face. Or his tight black turtleneck ;)

I even enjoyed the flashback episode (though Claus and Lavi's fathers were giving out "wrong" vibes for some reason o.O). Chibi-Claus, with his determination to fly was touching ;_; And we got to learn something about Alex past. It turnes out that he had life before Vincent o.O How could he!?

And just for the fun of it: the Alex-Snape comparison continues:



Hu hu hu
The Snape one (or rather the Lucius/Snape one ;)) is taken from Well at World's End - meine beliebte Potter arts site. I worship their version of Lucius *__*

The preview of Loki 20 sure looks spooky. No more comic-relief Hemu-Hemu - this is pure Heimadall angst! Oh, how I wish the fansubbers would hurry with the next episodes!

BGM ¯ Moriyama Eiji (Ibu Shinji) - Can See The Light

Hmm? You actually thought that Inui could have a girlfriend? That IS scary, alright o.O My first thoughts about said bracelet were "it's SOOO from Tezuka!" ;) But the Kaidoh part, stays the same - poor little thing ;_;

Anyway, *glomp glomp glomp* The package arrived! Ariiii~gatou! Yours will be on it's way tomorrow (damn national holiday - all the post offices are closed today -_-)

Out of curiosity I wanted to take a glimpse at Harukanaru… just to see what's the design like. To my great joy, the thing that greeted me in the very first minutes was…. tam tada dam - Okiayu-sama! Playing another Big Bad Bastard ^___^ I love this anime already, although I didn't have the time to watch it yet.

I fixed the system, so now my Windows opening sound is this ^___^ Guess who?
Thanks to that, I'm in an Oki mood since the very morning.

In TeniPuri Radio #05 he speaks German again. This time he said "Guten Tag. Wie geht es dir?" My mother couldn't Stop laughing for a good couple of minutes after she heard it, but I think he has strongly improved since his DN Angel spells. At least I could understand him this time ;)

And yesterday I found an Okiayu fanlisting *plug plug*

So I'm having a very nice day~

Boss, how can I NOT have a PoT obsession if it's the slashiest anime of the world. Pure yaoi fun for the whole family ;) I think it even outruns Harry Potter in terms of possible pairings: six schools (so far) full of sweaty bishounen (and locker rooms;)) and only three girls, all nicely ignored by everyone. Well, maybe Ann isn't ignored, but I like her so baah.
And there's Mizuki running around in there *_* Yay for Mizuki~
Oshitari may have prettier hair, Sakaki may be (?) gayer, Kaidoh may be more huggable, Shinji may be bishier, Atobe may be umm… better (he's better then anyone;)), but I'll still love my n'fu-san the most ^__^

Ae! Layout! Rabu! *___*

BGM ¯ Berserk OST - Behelit

Yesterday was fool moon - that explains a LOT. It's funny but the moon really has a strong influence on human mind. Whenever it's fool, people tend to me more edgy and irritable. I'm glad it's over.

Marr, I'm sou together with you - I want Berserk >.< I only need the last two episodes, but it seems as if all the forces have made a pact against me. I'm hunting for them for over two months now, and each time I almost have them, something gets in the way. Almost like my last year's Yami no Matsuei hunt. But I really want to see how it ends ;_;
And I promised myself not to post any rant about this anime until I see it all. Materac warned me that after I see the ending, I won't like Griffith that much anymore, but I just can't believe him. I already know what will happen (because I'm a very spoiler-friendly creature :3) and I don't really like that idea that much (not exactly Griffith's decision but the Caska part of it), but I also didn't like the idea of (Marr, don't read) him sleeping with the princess and it turned out to be one of the most significant (and angsty) Gatsu/Griffith hints in the anime. Not to mention, that I like Charlotte a lot better than that idiot Gatsu (I have a bit of a conflict here - Gatsu/Griffith is my absolute favorite pairing, but, at the same time, Gatsu is my absolute most hated character (not counting the Une-bitch, of course)).
And I don't like Griffith - I LOVE him. He's the most fascinating, complex and tragic character I have seen. He's much more than just "another slashy bishounen Set drools on" (although saying that he's not a droolesome slashy bishounen would be a crime against humanity ;)) - I truly admire him for his determination and ruthlessness in following his dream and I actually envy him his ambition. I truly admire him for (spoilers again ;P) the strength to be able to sacrifice even the one so important to him, only because he made him forget his dream (I'm writing ahead of what I know~ la~ la~). Putting it shortly - that man is my god.
Yes, I loved this anime very much. I even think that it is one of the best anime ever made. That's why I suffer so much not knowing the ending. And I can't even rewatch the eps I have, because the CDs with them got too scratched to read anything from them. Grrrrr!!! >.<
And the music ~.~ "Forces" are great (actually I discovered it only not so long ago thanks to Ranchii) but my favorite is "Gatsu" (even with such an e~evil title). I could listen to it non-stop (and that's what I do) and each time I have goosebumps, when the vocale starts. It's such a beautifull song. I also love "Behelit" (it's absolutely hypnotyzing @__@) and "Earth". And of course the ending song, even if it would be much better if they would give up on the Engrish. But with such a nice guitar I can forgive this somehow.
And if you think that the singer has a sexy voice, wait 'till you hear Griffith ;)
Well, looks like I made somewhat of a rant whether I wanted it or not. But this is not the end. When I watch the last to eps (and I WILL do so soon! …probably ;_;), be prepared for another. Because Berserk needs to be ranted on!

About your layout - Umm, It's pretty... but... *waves an "equal rights for the 800x600 resolution!" flag*. It's a complete mess on my screen ;_;

Ae-chan, I hope you'll feel better soon. Think that all the bishounen are going through the same thing each month…um…or at least all the ukes… or something…umm…emm… *hugs* ^^;;;

I think something is wrong my computer. Again -_-. It doesn't notice the updates on pitas pages. It used to do such a thing only with my blog (sometimes I had to wait the whole day to see the changes I have made), but now the same thing is happening with Mortee's. I saw the new layout only today (it's gorgeous BTW). And it worries me a lot because I don't even know if there is a new entry or not. I hope it will fix itself somehow, or at least switch to another blog, because not being able to read your entries would be a shame.
And I finally remembered where have I heard the title Harukanaru Toki no Naka de before - it's the anime from which the song "Kageri no Fuuin" comes from. It's by Ishida Akira. What's surprising, it's actually a hearable song. He doesn't sing off tune like usual and in a nice, deeper voice. So yay! I'll have an anime with a singing seme Ishida. Danke danke danke ^____^ I'll add the song to your CD's 'k?

And I love you. No reason. I just do *^__^*

Today I spent the whole afternoon at my grandfather's again. Ever since he started loosing his sight I often drop by to help him with stuff. Reading him his letters and answering them, putting together the data for his books, checking the bills and things like that. My, aren't I the most helpful grandchild (guess who I get my allowance from ;)).
But thanks to that I started to know him better. I kind of regret that I didn't pay any attention whenever he was telling stories about his numerous wartime adventures. The guy is a walking piece of history.
For the past few years he's devoted himself to putting together our family record. I always used to think "what a lame hobby", but now that I had a peak in that giant file full of family trees, tables, old metrics, photos and stories about each member of the family even 5 generations back, it mesmerized me completely. It's so hu~uge. So I kind of volunteered to help finish it. I always wanted to have something that will be passed from generation to generation. Ojii-chan can rest assured that his work won't be lost. I will be the next Guardian of the Family Tree (sounds cool, ne?).
So on Saturday we'll be sorting it out. Can't wait ^_^

[is it only me, or am I acting strange today]

I miss Ran-chan already ;_;

And why can't every TeniPuri episode be like 71?

BGM ¯ Apocalyptica - No Education

Fanart time:
I siply adore this site. They have the most adorable SD Hyoutei boys o^_^o Along with cute little parodies XD Ah hell - each picture from this site is absolutely precious. Go see!
Oshitari's hair are haunting me. This fwuffieness should be made illegal, for God's sake! Mwa~ah *__* Bishounen of the world, LEARN from him!
And they look so gorgeous on this site too…
Good thing is that I finally stopped thinking that Oshitari has no personality apart from his hair (I have an unhealthy obsession about them, if you didn't notice yet ^^). I used to think that he's just another Yuki Eiri "oh-look-how-cold-I-am" type of bishounen (I hate such a clichéd type - Tezuka wouldn't be any exception if not for an i~incy-wincy detail called Okiayu-sama). But I guess I must have just missed the cute side of his personality while watching. You know, I was kind of distracted by…umm… everyone knows what -_-
And forgive me while I laugh about the title of his image song. Crafty!? I love this show more and more - we now have an acrobatic uke and a crafty seme - ke ke ke XD
But the song itself is kind of nice to listen to.
And here's our crafty-boy at work ^_^
The H-boys posing like a boyband. Always nice to see.
And this is just delightful. Squicky as hell, but delightful nonetheless. I lo~ove the idea ^_^

Kaori Yuki continues to make me go Gaaah!! I didn't even get over Riff switching to the dark side of the force, when I find out that Jezebell is starting to be good. Yeah, I knew he was always just the misunderstood victim (with maybe a little sadistic tendencies), but when it comes down to Jez saving Cain from Riff, it can only mean that the end of the world is coming o.O. Which isn't so far from the truth actually, since, according to this site, this is just what Alexis' master plan include -_- Somehow, I'm disappointed. Forcing his son into marrying a woman he doesn't love wasn't really that rare in their times. Maybe not everyone did it to acquire hell-spawn that will bring apocalypse to the world, but I expected something more original from Alexis' sick mind…
Ah, nothing like spoilery-spoilers ^_^

That link's been here for some time now. It's always nice to find a stranger stalking me, so I stalk back ^^ Actually it's been here since the time you wrote that Katou-worship entry some time ago - it stole my heart :)

Arg!? No!! They wouldn't! No one would be THAT cruel to dub Fuuma! Not even the Germans o.O
Maa, at least I'll finally force myself into watching Hellsing.
And if getting you bored has such nice influence on you, we should do it more often ;) (Yay for pervy fanarts!)

And Xell and Ae are back *huggles both*, which makes me extremely happy ^__^

Mnya, too lazy for anything else… Back to sleep… Zzzzzz…

Ehem.
I don't have Adobe Photoshop anymore.
Now I have ATOBE Photoshop.
Thank you. Goodnight.

BGM ¯ MUCC - Hai

Agh, my back hurts! x.X Last night I came up with a wonderful idea to do exercises at 4 in the morning o.O Of course I overdid it “a bit”. That's why today I want to do nothing else then lie flat on the floor, staring at the ceiling and wishing Tsume would be here to give me a massage. He must be good at massage. Or good at braking people's necks. Either way it's worth a try ^^

But I needed some movement after spending the whole day watching Tenipuri non-stop o.O This couldn't be good to my brain. In the end I even started believing that tennis balls on fire are completely normal…

Anyway, I just wanted to announce that I've converted to Hyouteism. So far it's the best team out there. They even beat my precious St. Rudolph. That's because the Rudolphians have only 3 interesting members, while A~LL of Hyoutei are gorgeous: from their sadistic molester coatch *hearts hearts*, through every single member of the team, to the hoards of their rabid fanboys ^^

Keigo: If you raise your adrenaline to the limit, you start hearing sounds. I hear good sounds right now.
Set: Oh! So it's because of the adrenaline! And here was I, thinking it had something to do with Oki, Suwabe and Juurota gathered in one place. Silly lil' me ;P Keigo, what would I ever do without your stunning intellect ^^

And speaking of Keigo - aaaaaaaaaaahh, Kei~go~ I am simply awed by his prowess *snickers* All of his narcism is fully justified - if I were him I would also love me. And being the little starlet that he is, it makes him even cuter.

Now Jiroh's s sleeping all days just makes me wonder what he does at nights. Or more precisely with whom ;) He's the type you just can't not like. Although by the time he did anything I was already sick of him being introduced for the n'th time as "the one who beat Yuuta in 15 minutes!" -_- One time was enough. Poor Yuuta ;_;

Then there's Oshitari, or rather his hair. Looking at his gorgeous fwuffy hair makes me want to rip them all out and take to bed with me every night. But then, it would ruin his godly haircut (this is THE ideal haircut my dream man must have), so I should just take them together with his head, and since I'm not as kinky as our old friend Kamui to sleep with someone's bloody head, I guess I'll have to keep the whole Oshitari ^_^

Ohtori & Shishido - they're so inseparable that I can't even tell them apart. I loved to pieces Shishido and his little angst-show (I liked his long hair though ;_;). That guy should switch to drama club. But then, he would be separated from his Ohtori ;) Love that couple.

And even Kabaji grew on me. At first I thought "aww, what a waste of bishie space", but Kabaji just roxx! And he has a wonderful name. I could listen for hours to Keigo saying it. But then again I could listen for hours to Keigo saying anything ^^

The most tragic thing is - I've run out of episodes! And in the middle of Tezuka vs. Keigo match too >.< Cruel world! Well, what is Bit Torrent for anyway? He he. Here, 66, co~ome to me. He~ere…

Saa, Hyoutei aside, other things:
- CHIBIES!!!!! That was just to fuckin cute for words! Alien Mizuki with purple eye-shadow killed me @_@
- I worship Inui's voice *_*
- since I have a 20 episode hole in the middle of the series, maybe I missed the explanation, but what's with Inui's bracelet. It lookes (looked ;_;) cool, I know, but is there any story behind it?
- And Inui/Kaidoh have just became my obsession *__*
< /tenipuri rant >

I was feeling creative so I did it again. This time Jezebell-kun being his oh-so-fragile tragic self to the lyrics of Creed's Unforgiven. Dedicated to Ran-chan


800x600       1024x768
I really should be making wallpapers more often. It's almost as much fun as layouts and at least has some use. Making a layout is a completely selfish action. No one will profit of it except for my ego. And making a new one equals taking the old one down. I never liked it.

Ran, don't get discouraged by Get Backers manga. And especially not the first volume. The difference is colossal - the manga is really shounen. And an ecchi shounen to that. Luckily the animators were all fangirls. So it's hard to believe that this and this is from the same series.
But then again, Ban never got kissed by a guy in the anime…

About Tohru: oh, but she is special! It's one of the few characters that I really respect and admire. It's not the usual admiring that makes me think "ooh, she's cool! I wanna be just like her!", because I know that I will never have enough strength to become someone like that. I would just like to believe that there are real people like her and that someday I'll be so lucky to meet one of them.
I think "good" is the best way to describe Tohru. She lives in a never ending feeling of gratitude towards the world, even though her life isn't that happy. That's why she tries so hard to be able to do something in return. It's amazing how she touches the life of the Juunishi and IS able to help them when they're down and not just be there. She always finds words that solve the problem and not just comfort. Plus there isn't a single thing she's done out of egoism. I even think that she is idealized to such an extent that I can't even complain about the idealization itself.

[Edit: Good Lord, I sounded like I had something against egoists! That is SOU not true! The easiest way to impress me is to show how little you care about anyone else. Yay for the egocentric assholes! ^_^
And that's another reason why Tohru is special.]
