Sore wa... himitsu desu

As much as I want to play Tales of Symphonia, no. I'm NOT bidding over 40€ (shipping included) over eBay for a goddamn Gamecube game. Ninety-something US dollars or more for an old videogame is RIDICULOUS.

One note: Project Rub is the most annoying DS game I have ever played. Those minigames are hella hard. I have no idea how my brother finished that crap.

Either way, something I noticed right now. Remember the first chapter of XXXHOLiC?

By giving out your birthday, you have given over the control of your whole life.

...Remember that the guardian's birthdates in Cardcaptor Sakura are kept a secret? It makes a lot of sense. Imagine if someone could control a magician's guardian. Clow (and later on Eriol) is not one to leave an opening like that for a rival. Controlling a guardian for them to pull something on their master would be very low. So even if it were CLAMP being too lazy to come up with their birthdays, or they had seen it in advance, it doesn't clash at all with HOLiC's magic system.

I needed that to pump my blood, ow

...My heart. It's been stomped, knocked down, covered in darkness, then covered in light, and finally melted in glee.

Why are you so cruel and good to me at the same time, ending of Slayers Next?

But shippiness aside, I was just mentioning how lovely in the crack area Next is last night -and damn straight, it is. Today, today it chew me. The love, the friendships, the stubborness. This is how an anime must be to me. It knows when to take itself seriously, and it knows when to be silly or give out fanservice. It's usually hard to find a balance. I think I might have to blame Slayers for making me love comedy-drama equilibrium in some of my fandoms.

Come on, guys. It's fantasy, it's campy, it's filled with explosions and shiny magic, it's got great females, it breaks the fourth wall. But even if there's so much done for the lulz, the plots are also heartbreaking. Just... give it a chance. It's as good as your Doctor Whos and your Gurren Laganns. Hell, for me it is better. Slayers is fucking amazing, and if upload servers such as Megaupload didn't suck so much on me, I'd even share it with you guys.

Ah, time to have dinner.
