Eriol is one creepy bastard

Spent the majority of yesterday rewatching the Sakura Card arc of Card Captor Sakura, with focus on the Touya/Yukito, Yukito/Syaoran, Eriol/Syaoran and Yue/Keroberos scenes. I don't really like the first chunk of the series since it's too episodic for my taste, but the Sakura Card arc usually has something new to offer each time. I also watched the Judgment Arc since Yue is a bastard. I still can't believe I'm only missing two DVDs from the set. It's driving me up the wall. I had to resort to watching the final DVD on the Net. I think it's the first time I've ever seen the last three episodes since I didn't recognize anything, and Eriol's just plain weird. Rache is right the total OTPness of Syaoran/Sakura does get on your nerves. I think it could be because for some reason Clamp feels that all of their major 10-year-old characters must establish their soulmates before they leave elementary school or something. And that teacher honestly needs to stop perving over Sakura's friend; I don't care if she reciprocates.

I forgot to gush about the newest Yugioh Duelist volume. But in order to do that properly, I'll probably have to re-read it. It is such KaiYamiJou it's not even funny. I think Kaiba wants them both. His reasons for saving Jou crack me up every time I read them. He was impressed at the sheer level of Jou's stupidity in saving Yuugi. Adorable. I think this is also the first time he acknowledges Jou as a duelist, in the manga anyway. In the anime, I think he didn't really acknowledge him until after Malik "killed" him in their duel.

Waah, why won't the KH II manga give me my Axel/Roxas already?

I need to get back to watching Jetstream and listening to Tim Gunn's podcast since I've done neither in the past week.

(no subject)

Oh how I hate myself for this.

I need someone to explain to me whether the whole water issue in the Tokyo world of Tsubasa is tied into the rest of the series and if so, how. I'm still trying to make sense of the "plot" myself for the world. Don't ask why.

Shonen dubs?

More on the Prince of Tennis dub. Kaidoh sounds much better now that I've heard him talk more. Tezuka fluctuates from sounding way too soft and sounding perfect. I still want to murder Fuji's voice actor slowly. Possibly also Inui's since it just doesn't sound like Inui. The rest I can work with. Eiji seems to have a decent hold on the voice. Ryoma's father kinda freaks me out.

I have this cracky idea of making a journal devoted to the dub just to get various opinions since I'm used to fandoms typically following a dub for the first few episodes and after that only returning during the major episodes. FMA did the best job of staying mostly consistent. I wish Naruto was like that. I think maybe I should just focus on the Shonen Jump dubs since Bleach will be coming out soon. We'll see how quickly someone else steals my idea. What's out there anyway? Hikaru no Go? Prince of Tennis? Naruto? Bleach?

I know everyone hates the HikaGo dub. That's why it should be the most entertaining.
