Western Kirby is angry
SO YOU KEEP ON TROLLING, CLAMP. Let's talk a bit about Gate 7 and pretend I'm still in this fandom. Dibs on the "megane guy is a Clow descendant" theo-- oh wait, he totally is, this is not 2004 anymore. Nevermind then |D Of course, by the looks of it, there's no way in hell this could ever be a one-shot like they originally said. They either planned to serialize it from the beginning, or they changed their minds and redid it from scratch. I lean to the latter: by that time XXXHOLiC or Kobato might be ending, so they need a new cash cow to milk. So when I heard this thing was going to continue, I just grinned, shook my head, and thought "oh you!" And of course the characters look really cute so far, but the X vibes of whatever the premise is don't bode well for them. My favorite character design is the light-haired Kurogane lookalike but I love megane boy's ;o; faces. But yeah, I don't want to get attached because it is CLAMP and I have moved on and I know better. Or so I hope.
INCIDENTALLY, MORE OKAMIDEN BULLSHIT. I don't know, guys. I'm both fascinated and terrified by this stupid game. I even check the Pixiv tag. Either way, the second weirdest WTF ever in an interview is that in here, Eshiro said that the plot is sort of inspired by the film Stand By Me. Yeah... I don't even. Ah, another thing is that the American cover is out, and probably the Konohana cherry tree in the background of the Japanese cover isn't badass and manly enough to make it.

I think, though, it could be a lot worse and it sort of looks like Okami's Western cover for the PS2 anyway. (For the record, I also think the Western cover is an improvement from the Japanese which is not a common occurrence in video games.) Oh well... Stand By Me, really? Yeah, so compatible with the "ancient faux!Japan with magical godmode wolves" setting.
But let's talk about shinier things that perhaps don't kick me in the ovaries! My current anime/manga obsession is Kuragehime. I don't even like josei! But I really like everyone a lot and I can't wait until more of gets released. I'll probably do a lengthier post when the next episode is out all my impressions until now.

I thinkI'm over it, but considering there are series that were consistently good even when I look back and never jumped the shark or made me want to kick CLAMP's kitties... so I think I'll still check their new works because they might be one of those rare and elusive manga of theirs.no subject

That same illustration of the weeping cherry is used on the lyrics pamphlet for the official soundtrack -- it's really very beautiful when you see it up close.

I like the background, but Chibi and Kuni(nushi) look odd and pastede on yay to me. Then again I'm not an artist.

Definitely has to be that D| The original preview pic for the series is so different from what this one-shot had.
Regarding the actual series, I suck and of course fell for it hardcore already. B-but I'm easy to please.

However, I'll probably buy into Gate 7. Like a drug, CLAMP is.

...am I the only one who thinks that that double sun on the Okamiden box looks like the two moons from Dark Cloud 2? And is now expecting it to be a plot point where [MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DC2]?
