What a fright!

1. How the fuck did that even happen?

I had left my folder -with all my college stuff- inside the bus tonight. Luckily we intersected the bus on its way back to Coruña, and someone honest had given it to the driver.

Pheeeeeeeeeeew.

2. MY POKEYMANS... sort of

I joined [livejournal.com profile] anime_lj_tcg this weekend for some reason, heh. Just what I needed, more silly Livejournal hobbies. Because it's a silly thing to play, but I'm amused. My card post is here. It's kinda plain compared to hardcore players', but I think it's fine this way for such a thing.

I'm amused I seem to be getting cards and trades for anything BUT the two main decks I chose at first, which are Watanuki and Ginko don't get me started on the ridicuous name they gave Watanuki's deck, because the reason to name him is wrong and it makes NO SENSE even if he's a bit sensitive towards fortune-telling *breathes*. I find Ed's anime art butt-ugly now, but whatever. I WANT MORE MUSHISHI CARDSSSSS.

If you sign in, tell them I refered you. I get free cards.

3. Traveler anime? In my DVD player?

More likely than you thing! Speaking of which, Mushishi as licensed in Spain o_o Ah, and Death Note too, and Saint Seiya Hades (AHAHAHAHAHAHA) and Devil May Cry and more stuff I can't remember now. But you know, whatever. Mushishi! <3 Now I only need Kino no Tabi and Mononoke, and I'm set.

4. Speaking of which, moar HOLiC hiatus...

It's not only the fact it's prolongued, no. I wish it was. Today I find this cute little news:

Norma Editorial ha informado a través de su blog que publicará el nuevo tomo de xxxHolic de cara a principios del próximo año, con previsión de que a la vez salga a la venta el tomo #17 de Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.

De esta manera, la editorial evitará nuevas quejas que se añadirían a las que recibieron hace unos meses por la salida a la venta de un tomo de xxxHolic que adelantaba acontecimientos de Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle que aun no habían ocurrido en la edición en tomo del citado manga.
ASAHDGHASGHJG.

So. Spanish publisher decides from now on to slow down the HOLiC volumes either MORE so the TRC readers won't be spoiled in HOLiC.

It's... it's like CLAMP's magazine strategy made to local releases.

..................... ;^;

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! DDDDDDDDD:

*insert epic echo and dramatic background here*

5. More than roboclaw, looks like a dragonclaw. Ahahahahapun.

I should make some sort of comment on Tsubasa, but I'm le tired. I still haven't seen eye-color mourners yet, sadly. Have you guys? Because I want to so I can laugh a bit. Oh noes, Mickey Blue Eyes is now Mickey Golden Eye! Teh horror! But since it was a Kurofai device again, it probably was A-OK.

Also, Fuuma seems to be carrying body replacements around in every single reincarnation. Har.

I hope someone licenses Mononoke here, but it is such a niche title I am not sure if we will ever see it. But I did my part by buying Bakeneko.

And congrats on getting Mushishi. I think every country should license Mushishi. I wish they played it on TV here so more people would see it but fat chance of that happening.

I am glad you got your folder back!

I think I'll try to import Bakeneko too, even if I can only watch it on my computer (region 1 and stuff). At least Kino is available in region 2. I just have to get the money to buy the four DVDs...

I think it'll be hard to sell Mushishi in Spain. However, there's a cable anime network that broadcasts really weird, obscure series -no kidding, the only "important" ones I've seen in the current schedule (because I don't have the channel) are Monster and Bleach. Maybe they could air it there...

I'm glad too ;____; It was such a fright.

Mushishi is fun from what I've read so far /o/ and I'm sorry you became a victim at the TCG.

... why did you mention the word 'card'? *goes to look*

With the 3451276 CLAMP characters who could get the "Prophet" title, they go and give it to one of the few that doesn't. ¬_¬ A couple premonitory dreams =/= prophet.

Which is the volume that will wait until next year? T_T We're up to #9 here, I can't remember if #10 is already out in Spain.

Mind you, I think the most prophetic (in a literal sense) guy in CLAMPverse is Kujaku. The other ones, I call clairvoyants or yumemi. But there aren't RG Veda decks anyway.

But no, attention. He got that name because, according to the one who came up with the deck, "that's what his name means". Erm, NO, it totally doesn't.

...These days, I can only associate the word "prophet" to another fandom that isn't CLAMP -you know which one. So it's particularly mind boggling.

#10 is the next one. The fact even Norma is hiatusing HOLiC to give TRC's plot priority is EATING MY STOMACH RAW. Trufax.

Well, more than fun it's shiny and weird.

It's okay, it's kind of amusing ^^

I was thinking mostly of Kujaku too. But even if they were thinking about it in the seer/clairvoyant/etc sense, Watanuki is still not one of those (and that's coming from the Clow derivates nutter, so...). The name thing is even more WTF.

#10 is the next one.
... well, shit. D:

I think I'm safe from joining TCG. I've poked around a bit and I don't know or like most of the series/characters.

I did see complaints about the eye! :D But it looks even better this way (since it changed from the typical black blob thing to an eye with an actual pupil!), so it hasn't been that bad.

Ah, I hadn't noticed that. Good for Fay, then!

*raises hand* I did, but only because I was the one that posted it. However, Red Sox had just lost and I was feeling morose and exhausted, it wasn't sincere or as insanely fangirly as what you're looking for. I'm getting tired of the KuroFai and Tsubasa in general though.

I want some Mononoke. I don't think it's been licensed here yet. *sigh*

It's okay ^^ I meant the usual brand of fanbrat batshit you see in people who are only into fandom for the bishies. (Not surprised, it IS getting a bit tiresome, although I'm relieved they slowed down the aaaaaaangstbulance the last weeks. At least it's something.)

Mononoke isn't really licensed anywhere, except for the Bakeneko story in Ayakashi.

Joined the game, and said you referred me ;D I hope you get an awesome card out of it xP
