This is just *shiny*, you know

First, Japanese fanart rec: Kazami Aki's. She does original art and CLAMP. It's gorgeous. The CLAMP stuff is mostly TRC, HOLiC, and X, but there's a few RGV and Clover. Still, I like this because she did Kuro-parents and Kakyou/Hokuto she also draws females and not only teh buttsecks it's the kind of IC-esque fanart style I dig, without the artist throwing her kinks at you all the time all the kinks in this are CLAMP's latest gothic lolita bondage stuff, really or the usual rape!seme/blush!uke crap.

The original sections are also very pretty to look at. And there are more images at the diary section.

Second, I fell hard for Mushishi. I finally got to finish it, and it's just one of the most amazing things I've ever watched. And I'm so glad the manga will be released here, nyah even if it's fucking Norma again.

Oh, Ginko ♥ I so have a crush on him. But don't we all?

Also, I just noticed that if I try to describe Ginko's looks, he seriously sounds like a CLAMP rejectee O_o Like, white hair, one (one!) green eye, and he smokes, and sees/attracts stuff most people can't. I wouldn't be surprised if the mangaka was a CLAMP fangirl at one point. Except Mushishi kinda is what something like HOLiC or Tokyo Babylon would be without relying on gay and fate for plot, which makes it more awesome than the two mentioned. *dodges tomatoes* But I mean it, Mushishi's storytelling is just exquisite, as Kino no Tabi's.

ETA: Third, MY ADOLESCENCE! Will be raped by high school AU chibiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis x______x But SD!Shinji is so cute... NO, IT'S EVIL, DO NOT WANT.

My friend talked me about Mushishi and it is in the Top 10 Best Anime in Anime News Network ... so i think i'll be watching it as well ^^

Mushishi is really good ^_^ However, it might not be suited for anyone, and some people could find it boring. It just depends on the person, just like everything in life.

[momo-lozt-soul.livejournal.com]

I dont consider myself as someone out of the bunch ... so i think it might be interesting ... everything is relative ^^

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

It's about a world in which supernatural creatures that look like bugs co-exist with the other life forms. The Mushishi are people who deal and know about the Mushi, and solve problems human beings have with them. The main character is one, and travels around towns and villages to help others. He's not really an exterminator, since he doesn't like to kill them; he tends to scare them away from human influence, or scare humans from their influence.

The series is a lot about human nature, and sometimes the cases are sad and sometimes they're happy. Unlike HOLiC, it lacks crack humor unless you count Ginko's weird faces. But the series is easy-going and formed by one-shot episodes.

hmm Sounds interesting ^^

Oh I totally have a crush on Ginko and I am not attracted to anime characters in general. There is just something about him.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Hee! I certainly don't know what's about him, although he's the kind of character I'm fond of so it's not a surprise for *me*. I like how he's nice without being cheesy in any way, and he gets more surprised by people themselves than the Mushi. And he's smart and won't judge anyone, human or not. He's really cool.

ARGH the cuteness of the tiny Misato! *brain explodes from Teh Cute*

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

The figures ARE cute. I just hope it's not a spin-off series like some people say it is.

[suikascented.livejournal.com]

He de ver Mushishi. Pero por supuesto, va detrás de Honey&Clover (la cuál me comprometí a ver y que finalmente me he bajado), Heroes (que voy por el capítulo 7) y Anatomía de Grey (que voy por el octavo). Demasiadas recs interesantes, pero nunca encuentro tiempo para verlo todo >___<

Sobre NGE, lo vi hace un par de días. Parece ser que está enfocado al "público joven", pero yo veo que va a haber un canon!rape enorme (no me imagino a un SD!Shinji angsteando). Bueno, al menos los chibis son monos... yo quiero ver el de Kaworu...

Y por cierto, nuevo capítulo de Ouran.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Gracias por avisar ^_^

No sé ahora si realmente esta... cosa va a ser una serie o sólo es el set de figuras. He visto mucha discusión ahora y no tengo ni puta idea. Pero ahí está el detalle, que si van a hacer un high school AU, ya tiene por dónde cogerlo en el canon: como la continuación de aquel fume de "mi vida sin los EVAs y si mis padres viviesen conmigo, Asuka fuese mi amiga de la infancia, Rei la chica transferida a la que le vi las panties, y Misato mi profe" del episodio 26 el cual tuvo una increible falta de Kaworu, todo sea dicho. Canon rape está implícito, en especial después de haber visto a una Rei tratando a Shinji de memo pervertido, de toda la gente.

[suikascented.livejournal.com]

Va a ser serie o OVA, estoy 99% segura que no van a dejarlo con un simple set de figuras.
Sobre Iron Maiden, podemos decir de positivo que... uh... Misato estaba bastante IC. Y bueno, los fans del Asuka/Shinji no se pueden quejar. Además de la molesta falta de Kaworu, lo que más eché de menos fue su personalidad en el manga, ya que parecía bastante basado en el anime!Kaworu.

Yo no me he leído el manga de Girlfriend of Steel/Iron Maiden 2 aún. Me han dicho mucha gente que estaba fatal, y usé esa excusa para pasar de él XD Es que yo con los shoujo soy muy selectiva, y ya con Tsubasa tengo copada mi cuota de canon AU spinoff.

Eso, y que el arte me da como miedo D: Parece un doujinshi más que material canon.

[suikascented.livejournal.com]

Según creo entender, el proyecto de Iron maiden empezó como un doujinshi (la autora había publicado algunos, creo). Así que es posible que el estilo de dibujo sea por eso.
