A little bit of history repeated

[taotrooper]

1. Matantei Loki Ragnarok

It was... kind of confusing and rushed. I really think she should've included Balder references in the plot before, because he kind of came out out of nowhere. And in the end, I'm not sure if it was the translation's fault or the plotholes, but I think I didn't quite get how things really happened, both the ending itself AND the flashbacks.

Either way, the final fight was anticlimatic somehow. And if everything in the way were illusions, and the gods' bodies were soullessly lying at hell, how come they all ended up at Valhalla after "Ragnarok"? Don't get me started at the fact we never saw Thor and Heimdall's real forms (I guess because Odin is dead and all?).

And the Utgard/Spica illusion was also confusing because it was an illusion, and yet, you can see Spica angstying alone like everything was real. I wonder if that's real somewhere...? The pairing was sort of interesting so it could make a working drama AU.

swan!Urd's crush on Loki felt so fairy tale, so I liked it. Even if Urd as a character is a big bucket of WTF, that is.

I still didn't care that much about Loki/Mayura even if it's cute. I feel sorry for Yamino since he can't help Loki-sama now.

I'm amazed I wouldn't mind to see incest pairings centered on Hel. Yamino/Hel? Would be hot. Spica/Hel? Hot. Loki/Hel? AWKWARD, but I wasn't squicked by the canon kiss o_o Conclusion: this fandom makes weird things to me.

I bet there's no Valhalla!Narugami/Freyr fic, amirite? D: Their fight for the throne made me like the pairing, whut.

And I, for one, welcome our new sexy blonde goddess overlord.

2. XXXHOLiC ♦ Kei. I didn't watch the first episode but I checked on a picspam can't remember where. It still looks all fugly, and it's barely episode one. This manga just can't be animated for fuck. The opening was fine, but I liked 19 Sai better. Haven't checked the ending, but you know... fuck anime!"Mokona".

3. Okami. OMG OMG OMG.

THE ARTBOOK WILL BE RELEASED *______* EARLY MAY. PLEASE TO BE TELLING THE TRUTH.

Also, this official gallery website is made of win because they have all these cleaned versions of characters and enemies that are perfect to use on graphics, plus wallpapers and submitted fanarts. CAPCOM, rock on! ♥ And people with a Wii who haven't played Okami, please check it out and see how pretty and quirky the artwork is. *puppy eyes*

3. That's the first thing I thought when I heard Okami was coming out on the Wii... "Hey, I'll finally know what amewarashi's keeps raving about!" XD

Then the brainwashing is working :D I adore this stupid game so much it's not funny.

[sammywhatammy]

I hope that date is for real this time D: How many times/how long has the artbook been delayed already? Over/almost a year, I think?

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

A year ago I hadn't played the game yet. But it HAS been months! What worries me is the fact that Amazon still doesn't list a date or an option to pre-order.

[nyaabo.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, that gallery is awesome. GO, CAPCOM.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

You can even download in batches! I'm in complete awe with this fact and want to hug the webmasters for thinking of everything :O It's like a media fansite, not something from the company with the copyright.

Thanks for the link to the Okami site!

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Saw it in an Okami comm and had to share :D

[lluvia]

lololol o Ragnarok, I have such mixed feelings there.

On the one hand, I liked that we started getting plot and how Odin showed up and sicced everyone and their mom after Loki. On the other? HELLO MASSIVE PLOTHOLES. A-And Mayura forgetting everything + Yamino and Fenrir turning into cute snake and puppy made me so sad. ._.

ps: U!Loki/Spica is totally one of my favorite ships... but then again, I ship everything in MaLoki, so. /)_(\

I like having plot, but it was RUSHED and didn't explain shit well. And I don't know how much you've read of spoilers, but in the end it wasn't even really Odin the main antagonist, but this random god they never showed until the last two volumes. It felt kind of cheap.

.....slow!Shary is slow. YA SALIO EL OKAMI PARA WII?! (esta soy yo stalkeando tu LJ para entender qué rayos es Waka 8D;)

...Si es asi... damn, voy a tener que empezar a ahorrar... ayyy, yo he querido jugarlo desde hace tiempo ;;

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Waka es un alien mágico onmyouji, no creo que Muu o Raine lo pillen XDDD No lo busques en la Wikipedia porque está MAL la información sobre Waka.

Y sale en USA para la Wii la semana que viene!

[sha-chan.livejournal.com]

Graciaaaaaaas. Qué complicado es ese chico O_o Y es que ni siquiera había mucha información en Wiki D: Google me llevó a tu futura shrine *la pokea oh-so-subtlymente*

Por cierto, pretty!Waka es muy pretty.

...................OMG. VOY A EMPEZAR A MENDIGAR POR LAS CALLES AHORITA MISMO.

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Pero si por ser tan complicado es que lo fangirleo! :O

Sólo es pretty en fanarts. Lo que decía en el chat, la gente en Okami no tiene bocas rasgos faciales muy delimitados. Y me irkea un poco que la página donde había más expresiones lo tenía dibujado tan SD kawaii moe, pero es lo que hay.

Si yo cuando veía tus icons de Waka y trataba de verle forma, no atinaba, te juro.
