A little bit of history repeated
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*
