1. Now, Soul Eater is still pretty fun and funny to watch (on episode 16 now). Which is why I boggle at the lack of good humor and/or crack icons for it. Dammit, does that mean I'll have to do them myself? Bugger.
2. I played a bit of Earthbound (aka Mother 2) at the SNES emulator yesterday, until it froze right when exiting the cave beyond the shack behind Ness' hometown. Pity because it's quirky enough to keep me entertained and I've always been curious about the EB characters at Smash Bros games.
3. Late to a fandom usually means late to the party. Don't believe me? I just heard today of a thing called Tales of Fandom vol. 2. Which is basically a Phantasia/Symphonia/Abyss crossover in theory, but apparently it's mostly minigames and graphic novel. Obviously, this shit made of crack and eyecandy will never leave Japan. But what impressed me was the fact it appears to focus (in a particular game mode) on certain characters' backstories that were never that exploited on their original games.
For instance, in Symphonia's side, we have Kratos' story (fansubbed under the provided link). It's half of the game seen from Kratos' POV, which means... yes, plotholes are filled ♥ I'm not even a Kratos fan (far from it! I still can't believe I could digest over thirty minutes of him as a lead character) and I enjoyed and appreciated to see that stuff making sense finally. Bonus: Flashbacks with the Mithos-tachi. Tons of Mithos, Yuan, Zelos, and, believe it or not, Kate.
The Abyss plots are still unsubbed (the fansubbers seem to have taken a hiatus or something) although I think I can find them raw over youtube. Which makes me a Very Sad Panda. The first arc was flashbacks with Tear, which seems pretty interesting. BUT THE OTHER ONE IS LOW. Because it's Jade's fucking arc. JADE'S. And I'm dying inside. And did I mention both the Keterburg guys are all over that one? OF COURSE THEY ARE. Quite a lot of Peony. And the usual Dist abuse. I need at least a detailed summary of this thing like burning.
I also need good, clean screencaps of this thing. Or at least avi videos.
Okay, now to study.
