UPDATES UPDATES UPDATESSSS

Haven't posted in forever. Haven't done anything exciting in the anime/manga world either though so I think that evens things up.
Actually false alarm.

Reading/watching Pandora Hearts. Hi, obsessed much? I am. This is awesome. But also not? I like Gilbertttttt he's a fox. I mean, him being all troubled and sad and having a horrible past and learning how to shoot stuff (I'm a sucker for gunmen in these things idkkk whyyyyyy) and then cute little Oz like wow adorable much? And man there is just suffering and hotness and craziness and awesomeness and fighting and hottttttttttttttttness galore. So sign me up for being a drooling fan hahaha

Which brings me to other much related types of shows. Kuroshitsuji and Nabari no Ou.

Kuroshitsuji. I stopped watching the anime like right after Madam Red died and I stopped reading the manga right in the middle of the curry competition. Too bad on both parts. Well, not the anime so much, I don't think I'll be finishing that anytime soon. But I did catch up with the manga and holy wowz it is so good. Man, Sebastian you fucking rock. And Ciel, dude, I feel like such a ped0 being all into you haha. Seriously though, who cares what the romantic pairings are in this? I for sure don't. I honestly could care less even about everyone going omggg CielxSebastian. Lyke Ew Srsly.
Anyways, I love everyone and everything in that series. Genius. So count me in for another hot young shota (I like Ciel better than Oz) and hot older servant (I like Gilbert wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than Sebastian) series. Nice.

Nabari no Ou is just way too depressing lately. So, what I'm trying to figure out is does everyone just not remember anything for like the past months? Or do they just forget shit when it involved Yoite? God, I so miss Yoite. Freaking rocked. And poor Miharu and blonde dude who's name I never remember but I almost did for a second there and hopefully I'll be able to later in this post because his name's on the tip of my tongue. Obnoxious. But they're really great together. He's such a good guy and I'm they're both like my favorite people now. Well, they always were, but you had to include Yoite in the mix as well. I'm loving the lack of Thobari sensei like sorrryyyy sir get out of here sucks that Miharu is your bro and all and you're the only one who remembers the shit from 3 years ago or whatever but seriously go emo it up somewhere else. The only people whom I accept emo from are Miharu and Yoite and even Y--- whatever his name is. alskdjflksdjflsakdjf Yukihiro? haha Obviously I'm failing miserably at this whole remembering business.

Ok, well off the subject of the continuously hot shotas and emo older guys (my age :)) well, not really actually Yoite was like Miharu's age he just looked older, and even Gill is older than me. Eh, whatevskies.
Kimi wa Petto. Can I please have the last few volumes? and by last few I mean like 8 of them. How can they be out there in english and yet not on the internet? FML.

ahhhh Yukimi

But seriously, I know what happens in the end, Sumire (by the way I love that name) and Takeshi/Momo end up together thank god, but duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude there's so much in between! I've finally caved and started reading Kiss and Never Cry and dude shitty I love seeing Takeshi and kid in there but I don't like the story it's weirdish and I feel bad for the dude that that girl is dating who liked her forever because with this other weird guy who's the younger brother of the coach she saw killed well they're probably going to end up together. Unforgivable. This is why it's so hard for me to deal with awkward triangles.
Aka Honey Hunt. OMGGGG POOR HARUKA. Though I like the other one with the stupid name (Q-Ta? wtfff?) that I don't really know how to pronounce a lot too I like Haruka more. Stupid tsundere boyssss that I like hahaha

All for now.

BRING ON THE BACKLASH

I have a few important things to discuss.

I am obsessed with both the opening and ending songs for Toradora. They are unbelievably good and probably my favorite songs ever. I don't even know what to do haha I want to find them and download them but being the paranoid person I am that is all but impossible.

I loved Ga-Rei Zero 3 but I'm sad because I've finally accepted Touru and Natsuki's deaths as fact... though I rewatched the first episode like for the 2983473 time and saw that when Aoi was killed or whatever the person who was trying to get Touru to shoot her because she wasn't the same anymore was Yomi... So that's a little mind-blowing. And I think he had Natsuki in his arms? I don't quite know, it's all so complicated. In conclusion: I will not forgive any of the characters in the show who were even the slightest bit instrumental in the deaths of Touru and Natsuki, no matter how much it wasn't their fault or they repent or they didn't know. Whatever, lame, you're assholes, go away.

So, bitter, much?

I'm annoyed because I can't find Kuroshitsuji subs anywhere. It's been weeks and I really want to see hot Sebastian soooo yeah. Another thing that I can't deal with right now.

I pushed myself through Casshern Sins 1. That was a struggle but I think if I skip the repetitive fighting it could be a halfway decent show. I don't know, I'm just going to roll with it. I'm trying to watch Shikabane Hime 3 but if I can't get through it then I'll bet Casshern can replace it easily.

Also, latest Mouryou no Hako was alright, I want to see the really cute guy come in soon, the one from the op with the light hair. He's a fox.

Talking about foxes, Edgar from Hakushaku to Yosei is awesomely hot in the ed. Actually, all the guys are, like this show is so not acceptable for children. It's got all these naked guys barely covered then shows Edgar and Lydia naked in bed together. Like whoa. Way awesome. Way way way awesome. Can't wait for ep 3 XD

Trying to read Ga-Rei is not succeeding for me. I think it's because with the latest episode showing the past of Kagura I can't see her as the person in the manga. That is just so out of her character from what the anime is showing. Truthfully I like the anime a lot better. It's probably because there's no random and stupid fanservice, and it's a serious show with slight humor that is more subtle than in your face. I don't really like Kensuke either. Or the artwork, it reminds me of School Rumble for some reason. And that bothers me.

So far these are the worthwhile shows I'm watching this season:
Ga-Rei -Zero-
Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae
Mouryou no Hako
Kannagi
Hakushaku to Yosei
Kuroshitsuji
Toradora

LET'S GET WRECKED ON POP TARTS AND SEX

Okay, I'm sorry, but this stupid Shikabane Hime chick is totally useless. Completely. Like can she honestly not kill anything in one attack? aka a little kid? She gets pretty much destroyed every single time and I don't think I'll even be able to finish the second episode here. That makes me really sad because seriously this could be such a great show. It could be awesome, and it's a genre and everything that I usually drool over, and yet, it sucks. She's infuriating, this show is infuriating, that stupid kid is obnoxious and every time i see the older brother with his stupid glasses I think of Ovan. Ugh.
I'm going to try and finish this episode, maybe it'll be okay. I hate giving up on something after only 2 unless I really know that it's stupid.

I marathoned Kure-nai last night. That show is fucking awesome! There's really nothing I have to say about it other than it was just a solid epic win. Shinkurou looked like a dark haired Firo and I found out that it's the same animation team as Baccano! So that's why he's such a hot main character. Except for certain times when his nose (and many of the other characters) was way too pointy. Awkward. Anyways, it was great, and I'm glad that they had very little of the only character I disliked in that show, Ginko. Ugh, shut up childhood friend, no one wants to hear you be tsuntsun and shit. Deal with it, Yuuno's better and cooler than you. Haha, so yeah I just loved it XD

Okay, hold on back to Shikabane. DUDE MAIN KID IS SUCH AN IDIOT! He's like fucking helping this creepy little girl who came back from the dead, when he found her in a room where what's her name Aka or whatever (?) was bleeding hxc and yeah just takes her to some convenience store where he buys her food? fucking useless. Okay, now it's just sad, haha I went from infuriated to sad in like 2 minutes. Those poor things wanting to play? And they're in a park at night in the rain by themselves??? Hm, yeah and now after he's thrown against a jungle gym and the kids have super sketch eyes he's all like, hm what are you? JEEZ IDK MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE FUCKING ASKED THAT WHEN THE CHICK WAS FIGHTING IT IN THE HOSPITAL? OR BETTER YET WHEN IT CAME BACK TO LIFE WOW THNX.

And still, Hime is totally, completely, fucking useless.
And this is a useless show. I am dropping it. I hate it.


Moving on to Yozakura Quartet...
That new yellow dress chick is an annoying bitch. Seriously, shut up, isn't it obvious your beloved brethren trust and respect Akina? Why don't you just stop causing trouble and destroying crap and listen to him and stay in your place. Like, why does she honestly think she can say shit about anyone when she just FUCKING ENDANGERED THEIR ENTIRE GODDAMN CITY?
Yep, she's a stupid annoying bitch. I like everyone in this show sans her so far. She assumes all humans are bad because she's dealt with a few assholes, that's just fucking obnoxious and I get so sick of people that think like that. She's a stereotyping whorebag. She gets pissed because Akina kills demons that go crazy and wacko and try and hurt people and destroy shit but if humans go wacko she goes apeshit. Useless. Please leave now.

...Well, it looks like I'll probably be dropping quite a few shows this season.

WHILE WAITING AT THE INTERSECTION, SHE THOUGHT SHE SAW THE WIND

I just finished Nabari no Ou. I haven't cried this hard since, I don't know. That was awful. I knew Yoite was going to die, especially from reading the manga, but I thought maybe, just maybe, they would make the anime different because it's already not followed the story quite right. And, you know, I should have known that Shimatarou was that one girl, she has the same eyes as Kouichi and she has the same hair, it's pretty obvious I guess. Shit, that was tragic, why couldn't Yukimi go and see Yoite? Shit when he asked for lemonade I just could not handle it. That was a good series, a wonderful series, but such a sad sad series as well. I can't believe it, honestly.

On an also depressing note Ga Rei Zero 2 does not bring back Tooru and Atsuki, it instead introduces characters that will end up in the manga, so this is a prequel. I don't like it FUCKING BRING BACK TOORU YOU ASSHOLES!! I don't think he's dead. He CANNOT be dead. Him and Atsuki WILL survive somehow. I mean, come onnnnnn horrible. And they never said they died (even though we did see them getting brutally slaughtered) they only said they hadn't heard from them since the whole purification in the drain pipe. And when Kagura and ferret guy go down there it's the same hole, and ferret guy goes the way that team 4 or whatever went. He doesn't respond to anything she says, doesn't come when she's getting attacked by Yoma, and doesn't show up yet when she defeats Yoma supposedly then gets attacked again by her on the surface. Soooo... ferret guy must've encountered the bodies of that group and something MUST have happened. Otherwise, what's up with his sudden disappearance? Their bodies weren't recovered so TOORU IS STILL GOING TO BE ALIVEEEE. I do not want to lose Tojou no thank you. I mean, seriously NOOO. sflksdjflskdjf. So, we'll see how this goes from now on.

Chaos;Head was pretty good, it was funny. I enjoyed how fucking weird Takuma was. I have nothing else really to say about this, my mind is still totally full of Ga Rei.

Only a few more chapters left in Koukou Debut. It's gotten really good right now, there's not so much Haruna idiocy as there is fleshing out the side characters. I'd be interested to see how the Mami and Asaoka relationship develops though I still don't quite know all that's gone on with him. He's so confusing. I'm sad this series is coming to a close but I'm also glad. Then there aren't devastating things happening to Yoh and Haruna, which is really what I care about haha

Erm, nothing else exciting :/ I'll go back to rewatching Ga Rei Zero 1 so I can drool over Toujou again (Tooru + Doujou = Toujou duh)

THE DISTANCE

Watched the second episodes of Kannagi and Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka. I actually really really like both of these series. Kannagi was especially adorable, and there's deeper drama within woo! Unfortunately it's only 13 episodes? Tragic.

By the way, talking about tragic, I finished ゴーストハント and while it was totally awesome it was also horrible finding out what happens after or what all the details are. Namely about Noll and Gene, I mean, what the hell, you make Mai fall in love with his dead twin???? TRAGIC. I hate it. I love all the characters in that show, but finding out about that is just unbelievably sad. Completely. I want a second season where we find that out, but then over time her and Naru/Noll fall in love. Please? Thanks.

Anyways, back into the fall animes. Akaneiro ni Somaru Saka was, well predictable but not. They're obviously making the sister competition between Yuuhi and Junichi which I'm not exactly sure if I like... no not at all. I want those two to end up together. In fact, let's just not have any other drama with the other girls and make sure they end up together in the end. As a usual game adaptation it's only 13 episodes, so they can't make Junichi too much of a pimp hopefully. But even if they do I really don't mind cause he's super cute and as long as he's not surrounded by all the ugly chicks, aka Karen with the crazy weird hair. ugh.

FINALLY found a sub of Hakushaku to Yosei, that show is so dumb that I love it. It's full of so much shojoey goodness. Though I am way annoyed by Lydia's hair ugh. Oh well, I'll watch it. It's great.

I don't like Skip Beat. No. It's cool that she's all powerful and crap but the oldish animation is hard for me to swallow, especially when it makes the canon-ish guy she's going to be with super ugly, hard for me to relate haha.
And I don't really like Yozakura Quartet... it's just a little too out there I think. And some of the characters really bother me. Well, I'll probably try episode 2 anyways just in case. It's hard to get an idea of something just from the first episode.

I'm downloading Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo as I'm typing this. So exciting! I've wanted to watch it forever, seriously, and now that I'm understanding this download/computer crap more I've finally able to work it out. Aka, veoh finally decided it's cool enough to let me download it's player on my mac... That would have been useful for the last 2 episodes of Code Geass.. :/

Erm, nothing else really exciting. I'm going for sushi in a bit. On Mondays and Tuesdays my favorite Japanese restaurant has sushi half off, it's wonderful. I can get a roll for $3 or less!

wow, another random entry...

Mouryou no Hako is getting subbed soon thank god! I really want to watch it, namely because it's CLAMP's character designs, which I think I already said, but can't say it enough. And talking about their character designs I was finally able to get screencaps of the beautiful artwork they did for the ending of Code Geass R2! My favorite one is Suzaku closely followed by Cornelia/Euphemia and C.C. looks pretty good too. There's just something about their style I cannot get over, it's so beautiful. And it helps that Suzaku looks pretty similar to Syaoran XD

Because I have no decent places to get manga by me other than Borders and B&N I was really surprised when Borders has increased their awesomeness tenfold. Apart from the fact that I've always been impressed because they carry Blood Alone, now they have like a shitload of yaoi/yuri titles. Not that I'm into that (at all, ugh no thank you) but I still think it's awesome that they carry them. They actually do have a very decent selection, and hopefully they'll have Nabari no Ou when that comes in soon... I wish I could get money off with the rewards card like you do for B&N because of the better selection but yeah, doesn't happen.
I've decided my next manga investment MUST be cardcaptor sakura, the first part. I have Master of the Clow, which is basically just the development of Sakura and Syaoran's relationship, hence why I needed those haha but I really would like the first ones because I haven't read them yet. It'll essentially be all new!

Oh.Kay. I forgot, I bought Beauty Pop 9 the other day, it. is. wonderful. Apart from the fact that we had the resolution of the accidental kiss between Naru-Naru and Kiri (XD) we also get to see THE BEST MOMENT EVER SO FAR WONDERFUL AMAZING CUTE CUTE CUTE!!! When Narumi holds Kiri when she's alone and afraid at night. ohmygod can you get any more awesome? We all know that she's going to end up with him so Ochi just go away please? Thanks.

Anyways, that's enough ranting and raving, mostly raving. It's time to watch Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo!!!

FALL ANIME SEASON + TRC 201

Well, the subtitles are out therefore I am finally able to watch and comment on the first of the season. I'm starting with a lot of shows this time, but we'll see how many actually last.

Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka- this is an adaptation of an eroge, but that's okay because the main guy is super cute. And it's really kind of weird too, like I have no clue what's going on in the beginning and then when he has that internal issue about whether to kiss Yuuhi or whatever her name is... um wtf? Oh well, it's better than other stuff, and only 13 episodes!

Clannad -After Story- just because everyone else is, though i really didn't get all caught up in the Clannad craze a year ago, nor did I ever fully watch last season. I just read very detailed summaries on people's blogs... and yeah I think that was good enough. I'll probably not even bother with this, I'm bored already and I think only one eroge/dating sim/harem adaptation is all I can handle.

Ga-Rei -Zero- oh. my. god. that is all I can say. This show is AWESOME. I was seriously on the edge of my seat the entire time just taking in the pure awesomeness of this show. DUDE SHE FOUGHT THE EVIL THINGS WITH HER BIKE! IN MID AIR! THAT HAD RELIGIOUS WRITING ON IT TO KILL THEM!!! wow, honestly, they're all just so badass. And if it couldn't get any better the ending was mind-blowing! Literally. It's kind of reminiscent of Geass, but whatever, that show is stupid and this one is awesome. Including the awesome fact that i thought Tooru looked, sounded, and acted a lot like Doujou in Toshokan Sensou, then I find out it's the same seiyuu! Bah, one more reason to adore this show. Epic win. epic.

Kannagi- Cute, kind of nice like not intense like a lot of the other shows out this season. It reminds me of Haruhi. And probably Lucky Star if I had been able to get past half of the first episode, which should make sense since someone who worked on those two also does this one? The overly blushing guy whatever his name is is kind of annoying. OMGZ THIGH. Yeah, whatever. But it's cute, I loved how she got the magical girl mixed with miko papers or whatnot. sooo adorable!

Kuroshitsuji- This confuses me, but in a good way. It's definitely an introductory episode just to get you into the groove of the characters and basic plot but

BREAK
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA TSUBASA YOU HAVE BLOWN MY MIND IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. AND THIS IS NOT A GA-REI TYPE THIS IS A STANDARD CLAMP MINDFUCK. sooooo Watanuki is Syaoran? He took his place as Kinomoto Sakura and Li Syaoran's son, therefore when they say that Watanuki's parents died that means THAT CCS SAKURA AND SYAORAN ARE DEAD EXCUSE ME WTFFFFF?????FLKSJFLSDKJFLS; shit. After all they always said that Watanuki cooks like his father, that's how he learned it and we all know that Li Syaoran was an awesome cook. Fuck. This is overwhelming.
END BREAK

yeah so i think i like kuroshitsuji.

And honestly, the rest I'm not too excited about. Skip Beat, Shikabane Hime: Aka, Yozakura Quartet, and Toradora. I'm planning on watching Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae as soon as I can find some subs, and also Hakushaku to Yosei probably. And Chaos;Head. And probably Mouyou no Hako because of the CLAMP character designs. If you even slightly mention CLAMP I'm in.

So, now that I have successfully been overwhelmed by another chapter of TRC it's time to go to work. yippeeeee

"YOU ARE EXACTLY MY BRAND OF HEROIN"

I'm rereading Twilight, almost done with it. I'm at the part where the Cullens and Bella are playing baseball and James, Victoria, and Laurent come inquisitively into the field. DORAMAAA. After this I will reread New Moon and Eclipse, and by reread I mean skip the stupid parts with stupid Jacob and just read the good parts with Edward. IF YOU HAVE EDWARD WHY DO YOU NEED JACOB, BELLA? fucking idiot.

Anyways

Waiting for Nabari no Ou 15 to come out subtitled is killing me. Like, I already know what happens and all, I read pretty far into the future, but I still love this series so much it boggles my mind. Also, I'm bored with Tsubasa and xxxHOLiC, and that makes me sad. Tsubasa is great and all but lately it's been so slow, maybe that's with CLAMP taking such a long break, idk, but I really was hoping for either a few more color pages or a longer chapitre with their return... whatever.

I watched half an episode of The OC and a full episode of Dresden Files today. It was great. It was such a blast from the past, along with me skipping class this morning. I'm such a failure, it's awesome.
