Confirmation?! A blast from the past!
Feb. 29th, 2008 02:48 pmProbably most of you knew about Japan going retro and making new anime for two old franchises: one Trigun (a movie)... the other Slayers (a TV series).
Now, I heard the news a couple of days ago, but I decided to be impressed about the new Slayers series if and only if it was a Gourry arc. Well, scans from the Dragon Magazine announcement popped in, and who are the characters in the image? Lina. Gourry. Zelgadiss. Amelia. ETA: And Xelloss!
In short, AGDFHGAS DHSGA HFHB ♥ I feel like I'm seventeen again *___*
And now I feel like rewatching the whole anime again, and roleplaying as Lina Inverse. And I think I will, at Mansión as my second (or third...?) pup, when I refresh my memory with a marathon.
In other news, you know what's really uncomfortable about wanting to play a videogame-origined muse? That I have this need to replay their whole canon, notepad open, and write down every fact, every dialog, every third character commenting about them. It doesn't happen to me with anime/manga characters; then again, when I need to know something about those I just open the right volume/.avi and that's it. With videogames, I'm too focused on the plot or the gaming, and having to make gazillion saves for every cutscene/conversation with the character is too geeky or sometimes just impossible.
But my problem is that I -have to- write the info down. I just roll like that. I thought I did it with Ushiwaka because I'm building him a fansite/shrine. But now that I want to roleplay this other game character (I refuse to say who right now, because it embarrasses me), and I knew I had to replay and write things down because Wiki and fansites don't give me enough tidbits and data...? I understood it was me being an as-IC-as-possible geek. Am I the only one doing this?
