the disney meme

I really SHOULD study today, be productive. It's not like I can play videogames or anything, unless it's that game with the anorexic asshole and the looks-like-an-ugly-Kaworu godmode creep. I could make icons, but I'm lazy.

On the other hand, rereading Rurouni Kenshin up to the end of the fight with Sano awakened my love for the series and the titular character ♥ It's fucking expensive (10 euros, 22 volumes), but the books are huge and pretty and it was the first manga ever I read. Besides, I never owned the whole thing. The random color pages are nothing spectacular, especially compared to manga coloring you see in fandoms, and they only used like five colors and shit to paint everything. Yet for some stupid reason seeing his hair red makes me giddy like I was fifteen again. Maybe it's because it's Rurouni-fucking-Kenshin.

Also, because of Laurus I want to rewatch The Sword in the Stone. And I'm convinced this had to be Howl Jenkins' favorite movie when he was a little kid, and the reason he became a wizard AND a closet Arthurian geek later in life. Turning into animals is fun~~

Rurouni Kenshin ♥

I was actually watching some random episodes from the first arc the other day. I love it but I am still upset they never animated the last arc. But at least there is the manga. Not the first but definitely one of the first series I got into. :D

And actually at the time I read the last arc of Kenshin with just translations because it was before scanlations became big. But now I have all of the actual manga (no colored ones though :( )

I did read the text translations before finding scans ^^ Not only the Jinchuu arc... everything. Actually, it took me ages to find the whole series.

I think I don't mind the lack of Jinchuu (except for lame references in the last OVAs, which I didn't like) in anime that much because my love for RK comes from before I was a manga whore. I was more indulgent with anime/manga differences when I was younger. Although even before I knew what a filler was and which ones were one, I DID call bullshit in all of the filler arcs post-Shishio. Geeeeeeez, those were so bad. I couldn't even finish the Feng Shui crap.

Delicious Kenshin. To this day it is the only fandom that I have left and come back to repeatedly. I had a Sano doll that I used to sleep with until his eyes rubbed off.

Also yay Sword in the Stone. That's my favorite disney movie. Even though Wort's voice keeps changing and he says "Whoa-what-OOHHH" like 14 times.

Sword in the Stone was actually just released on a DVD a few months ago. *sing* To and fro, stop and go...
I always felt bad for the poor squirrel :(

I think I never really ventured to that fandom, except for checking out fansites and stuff. Not even fanfiction. Then again, I did the same with most 90's anime series I followed.

I only watched it in English once when I was little, so I can't recall about Wart's voice...

That's what makes the world go round~

I'm sure I've seen it in Spain on DVD, probably in some department store. But I bet it's out of print by now. But eh, my mom downloaded a load of Disney movies including SitS so I can always see it pirate if I can't get it.
