Would you like some awesomesauce with that?

I'm still not up-to-date with One Piece, but I just spoiled myself about that thing about Brook's past, you know. HOW MADE OF AWESOME, Oda. *squishes whale plushie*

And in pure procrastination, I went and finished watching the third arc of Twelve Kingdoms. I'm in awe, you guys. This is good shit. This is good storytelling. And I'm not one to fangirl plots with armies and invasions and rebellions (I feel asleep a bit during The Two Towers). But it was so, so good. I had my doubts at first, because Suzu and Shoukei used to be really annoying, but the three girls grew so well as persons. Nice character development, really. And Youko was kickass. Saying that, gee Rakushun, you truly have a touch~~ put any overagressive, bratty girl a week with him, and it works like a charm! XD

No, I mean it, it's an AWESOME arc. Meanwhile, I'm forcing myself NOT to watch the last six episodes. I'm all "we can't stop here, this is En country!", but as a matter of fact I'm stopping there because it'll be En-centric and that's hot and I should be studying now. Nnnnng.

Yes this chapter was so much love. Oda is sort of like Arakawa how he always manages to surprise me and make me love the characters more than I already do.

And I am watching Twelve Kingdoms now. I am not very far along yet (only the first 5 episodes) but I think it is totally awesome so far. I was planning on making a post once I watched a little more. XD

I had seen someone theorizing about [insert character name] somewhere before this chapter came out, so the thought didn't quite take me by surprise, but it wasn't any less AWESOME for it to be canon. Oh, I so know I'll want to cry when I catch up.

It'll get better :D

OPLOVE~ I will refrain from using my spoiler icon (even though to the uninformed, I think it just looks like Brook playing music to a giant phallic object XD)

And YESSSS, Twelve Kingdoms is SOGOOD. I loved that arc, since it was like- character development central. It's true though, Rakushun can turn any bratty girl into a princess XD

Too late for me, I already saw your spoiler icon XD

It really was character development central, although the plot itself was also great and I digged it.

It's true though, Rakushun can turn any bratty girl into a princess XD

More like he can turn any bratty princess into a girl, in this last case XDDDD And is it me, or the animators were trying to pull some Rakushun/Shoukei subtext? (WTF sakura petals whut) Oh Rakushun, you're the series' biggest pimp... ironically (and without wanting to, you just come across that kind of girls!)

[abarero]

Rakushun is a pimp. He's one of those guys that just has this natural, unintentional charm that draws women to him. Then again, I swear even some of the guys in the series secretly want Rakushun XD

XDDDDDD I bet most people at school who aren't racist assholes or are envious of his smarts are so drooling over him XD

It doesn't help his human form is quite handsome, even if he can charm someone WITHOUT morphing (how ironic, again). Still, I feel like headdesking whenever he goes to the royal palace of En, because there's too much awesomeness and hotness concentrated in the building :PPPP~

...anyone who'd read this comment would think I'm watching this for the bishounen O_o

I somehow don't like the bone disco guy for One Piece so I haven't been paying too much attention to the manga, I however, caught up the the anime! And Oh my god, is was corny goodness, I tell you. ;__;

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Mmm? I don't watch the anime because it's too long and takes too much space, so I'm not sure what's the cornyness you're talking about. I don't find One Piece corny. Emotional, yes of course; corny, absolutely not.
