And the jeep is so cute, too
Books were shipped this morning :D
Last Friday's Avatar episode was just so awesome I wouldn't know from where to start.
Yuna and Tidus from FFX are retarded. "Come on, practice your laughter!" "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!1!" "...okay, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" And then they LOLed while the rest of the party is like "...WTF" Perhaps with a lot of facepalm while we weren't watching. Gotta love annoying main characters. Except not. I was dying of embarrassment, and I'm not even inside the game.
Color director is starting to annoy me. GREEN? So WTF.
Still, kudakitsune, although less spunky and ♥-filled than its manga version (so far; I hope the hearts appear), is cute as a button. However, a couple of things:
1) I don't understand why they cut the pool. It's summer already. And if they didn't want to have Mokona merchandizing in the series, then draw a normal pool with some other design or just a plain one, Jesus. The lack of dorky Yuuko fooling around in a bikini and her healing from dehydratation (assuming it was that, because I only watched the raw) with mere sake depresses me.
2) Anime!kudakitsune seems a little too obsessed with necks. In the manga, it usually hangs inside clothes and peeks through the collar of the shirt. This one twists around people's neck like a snake, so hard it almost chokes them. I wonder about Watanuki's cervical condition after a whole episode of kudakitsune pulling his neck. And when it moves, it moves the host neck with it, so... ouch.
3) Watanuki got used to kudakitsune way too quickly. He was already petting it after a while. Then again, animators made kudakitsune save Watanuki's life having it pulling his neck to the sidewalk before a car/truck/something ran over him. So at the end, he was like "awww, even though you're giving me a neckache, you saved me and the Sue's pinky finger! how nice! *pets*"
Then again, after meeting anime!Mokona, kudakitsune must be a bliss for him.
The episode itself... went well, I think. Sue customer was annoying, but the plot could've been worst. Having Watanuki and Doumeki following her around like private eyes, with Kimihiro hiding behind menus, his briefcase AND a chicken statue was priceless.
The shippy comment about D/W's thread of fate was a biiiit over the top, though. Gosh P.I.G, Yuuko's 104 teasing is more of the subtleties, symbolism and sarcasm varieties. I doubt IC!Yuuko would go "you're screwed, Doumeki is your soulmate" so directly and without an evil, teasing grin. Don't be so straight-forward with the subtext, P.I.G, because this is CLAMP; there are better ways to please the shippers. I think I'd even be equally annoyed if I shipped them, but that's just me.
Haven't it happened to you guys? Just during exam time, you get into a new book/manga/anime/TV show/movie and fixate and read/watch it all, and you're suddenly liking it too much than it's healthy during exam time? And it distracts you?
Because that's the story of my life. Not happy with my new-found love for Good Omens, I had to go and read with no reason... the first series of Saiyuki. Finished volume 9 last night.
I liked the story a lot, actually, so I'll be following the rest whenI procrastinate from studying I'm less busy. It's Gaiden first, then Reload. Right?
And I have a huge crush on Sanzo. He's too hot. Eeeeeee.I bet you were expecting me to physically like Hakkai better. So did I; this came as a surprise. But Sanzo can be so pretty~

Da la casualidad de que vi el 9 de holic
por ciertos seiyuus invitados, ahem XD~y como no sonó que Yuuko dijera lo de la thread entre Watanuki y Doumeki muy en serio, no me pareció tan fuera de lugar (yo no soy ni shipper ni anti shipper en el caso de D/W)no subject

It looked more like a snake than a feetless weasel-like fox, yes.

Heh. And people wonder why I can't resist pairing Hakkai and Sanzo...
no subject
Personally, Sanzo hits me as somehow asexual -so many people hitting on you and stuff, and you're still "whatever, don't touch me or I'll shoot you"?-, but it's amazing how I can see subtext for almost every pairing combination if you squeeze hard enough. I was at a point I thought about shipping OT4 so I wouldn't have to choose an OTP. Then I read some of Gaiden and got one, so it's alright now.

¿Es la primera vez que juegas FFX? A mi me gusta mucho como personaje, aunque mi favorito es otro y bueno, ese no es su momento más brillante tampoco ^^u.

Tidus a mi me gusta mucho, pero me comenzó a gustar hasta avanzado el juego cuando pasan varias cosas y quizá a ti te guste para entonces
o te caerá peor, depende *risa*.Espero te la pases bien jugándolo ;).

Gaiden and Reload (and the first series, actually--it's only a secons series because they had to change magazine...I wish CLAMP had done the same with X...) are to be read at the same time. They are both still ongoing.
If you want anything- manga, raws, anime- I can upload it for you. (artbooks! Sanzo is REALLY pretty in the artbooks). The anime has plenty of filler and is not as good as the manga, BUT if you must see one thing there's two things you MUST see:
1) The kami-sama arc animated, because it's pretty good.
2) The URASAI shorts. These appeared as small canonish/crack fun at the end of the Saiyuki reload episodes and are actually very entertaining. You can find them (all into one single video) in youtube here:

And Tidus and Yuna are retarded. I hav great hopes for Final Fantasy XII because the characters seem far less retarded than most of the FF characters recently.

I have three Salty Dog artbooks, I don't know if there are more. I had some issues getting Gaiden scans, and I still haven't touched Reload, but if I have any problem I'll let you know ^_^ I'll search for them when finals are over, probably, and I'll take your offer if things get bad. The HDD is full so I don't know if I'll watch any of the anime. Might as well browse at youtube for full episodes.
