tempestuously: (nayami: angelic trio)
Good God, the Kafka chapters of Count Cain nearly gave me a heart attack. Cain and Riff are both bastards! I'm with Merry in the yellings. I cried. Though Cain dressed as a woman is a hot idea. I still want to know who bit Cain aside from Julianne in that one part. I also wish that Kaori Yuki didn't have to be so subtle with certain sexual events. I usually can't even figure out people were having sex unless she comes out and tells me. I had no idea Julianne was having sex with her father. I never thought incest could be a more significant element of a story than in Angel Sanctuary. This series does more than embrace incest; it has a friggin' orgy with it. Yet, I am not as perturbed as I was when I started Angel Sanctuary. I just love the style of Cain, the mysteries, the characters. It's so damn addictive. They need to translate the first chunk in the states. You hear that, Viz. I watch your semi-decent dubs and buy all your other hit-or-miss manga so bring me more Cain. Maybe then I might be able to understand more than half of what happened in Kafka. I need a breakdown or a synopsis, I swear.

I probably need to go find me a Cain/Riff icon or make one from the pics I snagged off 4chan.

I learned today that cows are awesome. They're just so full of personality.

Also, Mika and Setsuna interaction is fun. But not as fun as some Kira and Mika would be. I need to see if fics of this nature exist. I love Angel Sanctuary whenever I get into it off and on. I enjoy any manga, where I like the majority of characters. I think the only one I really hate right now is Sevy. Rosiel did something SO FUCKING NAUGHTY I should hate him forever, but I don't because he's my perdy perdy princess. And him and Alexiel are hot! stupid Alexiel's name almost made me write Axel k my brain breaks now. This has to be one of the handful of gender-bending series that really works for me. I still think that Kurai and Setsuna make a better couple than him and his sister. She can hook up with Raphael. He'd like that. Mika can have Lucifer (wait, Belial kind of deserves him more.) I'll come up with someone else for Mika to hang with later. I can't remember. Does Uriel have anyone?

And TokyoPop finally got off its ass with releasing Loveless 2. I'm extremely close to going back to scanlations, especially seeing that October 2006 release date for 3. As long as I'm purchasing the slow-assed licensed versions, I see no harm in going through the scanlations. I need to find some for HikaNoGo as well because because I'll be 50 by the time, that damn series catches up.

Naruto fandom has gone suicidal again. It may be time for another essay. Honestly, it's just one chapter. I'm sure the happenings of one chapter are going to dictate the flow of the manga for months to come. Can you at least wait until we figure out what's going on with the new arc to bitch about it? This arc did exactly what it intended to do, mainly bringing back Sasuke. It never said anything about saving him. That would be boring. I'm mostly annoyed with the new chapter because I wanted more on the chapter's impact on Naruto and Sakura. Short-changing the reader sucks. That and while Sai is my wooby, he could have waited until after the aftermath chapter to expand on his story. I want more angst dammit.

I got to stop falling for stupid teeny-pop music because I catch it in really good AMVs. This one was part of a tribue to John from Weed.

So the visit to Tom's ended up occupying all my time, with us usually getting home around 2 a.m. or later every night and him needing to hog the computer like a great greedy thing of greediness. Moral of this story, Nayami hates spontaneity whenever it's brought up by people other than her and Tom.

Let's do some reviews. Yay.

X-men 3: Nice explosions and some eye candy action. Little else. Angel was pretty.

Host Club 8: Needs more gay and less plot. Good thing Tamaki and Haruhi are so cute.

D-Grayman Volume 1: Awesomeness. I think I will actually enjoy this more than FMA because of the relative sanity of its fandom (from what I've seen) and the inclusion of the demons/exorcists. I'm very interested in more and right away. Kanda is hot. Allen is angsty. Akuma make me cry. The Earl makes me want to crawl under my bed and never never come out.

Angel Sanctuary 13: ZAPHIKEL! I really hate Sevothtarte. I don't care what its backstory ends up being. He's on par with Nakago with me right now when it comes to villains I want to disembowel. Anyone who hurts Raziel must die! Rosiel continues to compete with Alexiel for hottest manga girl-guy thing and I would be crushing if I knew exactly what I was crushing on. Setsuna/Kira/Katou are a melt-worthy trio. (See icon!) Again, love Setsuna and Sara separate. When they're together, I want to choke them both with Kira's pendant. I need 14 now! I repeat ZAPHIKEL!

Kyou Kara Maou 24-27: Conrad's past makes me care about him slightly more but now I am even more creeped out by the ConYuu shipping because not only is it almost a father/son thing but Yuuri's part-Julia. It kinda hurts my head. Blond Murata is hot and a completely different person. I can't wait to see his mazoku side. Episode 27 is just too insane for explanation. I will never again let a dubbed VA take a seiyuu's scream. There is just no comparison. Poor Wolf. I need to watch the other volume I bought now.

Anime project for this week is Princess Tutu. Wish me luck.


Ack, forgot to mention that [livejournal.com profile] theorganization is the best KH rp ever, with some of the most amusing version of the Org members that I've ever seen. I think Marluxia and Saix earn all my love for this one. And Xemnas because he's smarmy.

Still not in a mood to be active tonight. Overall slumpy all day. Watched/read stuffs though.

Destiny: Flashbacks do not an ending make )

Avatar: Great episode. Sokka shows his smarts. Zuko finally lets the fangirls know the real reason he keeps around that necklace. Aang is less than perfect. And the fights. They were my favorite part. Where else do you see a bison taking on a gigantic weasel? Plus, the whole Zuko vs. Aang moment with the fire and air converged attack was very Sasuke vs. Naruto, with less subtext. They even blasted each other onto roofs. I want more Avatars eps like this.

I need Banana Fish 10 and Bleach 9 now because both of them are getting so good. I need to catch up on my of my manga reading. Angel Sanctuary is getting interesting too.

Naruto Dub: Don't like how they cut out the stabbing scene but kept the blood. Make up your minds! Liked Sasuke's delivery of the "scaredy-cat" line. Perfect.

Yugioh Dub: Didn't see since cable was out until 12 p.m. Came back on just after Yugioh should have ended. No British Thief King Bakura for me. I need to track down some dubbed AE arc.

Back to point of peace. Missed by two points. Isn't that the same amount that lost me one of my license attempts? I suppose the girl who failed her test way more than three times shouldn't have expected to pass at anything on her first try. I estimate that publication will include at least 10 failures. Well, after the first (considering I survive it and don't off myself in misery), it won't be so bad. Realizing that canon isn't flying (dang, there goes my failsafe), I have to retreat to the second option: slash. Wish it didn't have to be my first venture into the shonen ai world of fanfiction. Original slash is mad easy. Not as confident about fanfiction. Probably will have to start this weekend and revise, revise, revise.

During my minor spaz (sorry again, guys), I comforted myself with proof-reading Psychosis and realizing Ty's intelligence dropped 20 meters in chapter 51 and chatting with new reader. I love readers, especially ones who offer to draw for me.

Danny Phantom amuses me with a snarky Nickelodeon hero for once. Not retarded like Timmy, selfish like Tommy, docile like Doug, or random like Arnold. If the storyline wasn't so hideous, I might actually try to watch it. The concept is cool but the villain of the day is tiring.

Not sure how much time I'll actually spend on the net since I'll be with Tom until Monday.

Might have seven clips by the end of the month. Need to start looking for wigs for Otakon.

The Raito from the camp of reality-check is even cuter than the canon one. I need a Raito.

Also played hottest guy/gail in my misery.

Winners:
Sasuke Uchicha
-Wins with naked shots, silky hair, sharingan eyes, and looking so pretty in pain.
-Beat out Satoshi Hiwatari by just a nudge.
-Sad that my hottest guy is severely underage with only 12 years. There's always time jump. A whopping 15.

Alexiel
-Wins with flowing black hair, bitchy attitude, bondage attire, and occasionally being a guy
-Beat out Faye Valentine.
-No shame in this one.

Just wanted to say the KakaSaku is probably the WORST of the teacher/student pairings I have ever seen. =P

Hmm, deep friendship is all fine and good but sometimes when you have passages like these, you have to wonder:

"And so Gollum found them hours later, when he returned, crawling and creeping down the path out of the gloom ahead. Sam sat propped against the stone, his head dropping sideways and his breathing heavy. In his lap, lay Frodo's head, drowned deep in sleep; upon his white forehead lay one of Sam's brown hands, and the other lay softly upon his master's breast. Peace was in both their faces.

Gollum looked at them. A strange expression passed over his lean hungry face. The gleam faded from his eyes, and they went dim and grey, old and tired. A spasm of pain seemed to twist him, and he turned away, peering back up towards the pass, shaking his head, as if engaged in some interior debate. Then he came back, and slowly putting out a trembling hand, very cautiously he touched Frodo's knee -- but almost the touch was a caress."

--"The Stairs of Cirith Ungol", The Two Towers, J.R.R. Tolkien

In Tolkien class today, we were talking about redemption and Gollum and how I didn't think he was ultimately redeemed. Fellow student argued that he was because of the whole destruction of the Ring. I said it wasn't voluntary and that true redemption must come from the will. It doesn't count if fate steps in and gives you a push; you also have to accept your redemption. This brought up a huge arguement between us, which the mean prof stopped because we were getting off-track and she wanted to discuss Sam's ramblings about stories and go into Tolkien's post-modern style of this passage. This got me to thinking about how most of my favorite characters are the redeemed sinners and my obsession with redemption in fiction. Being a redeemed sinner is the quickest way to Nayami's heart.

List of Nayami's favorite redeemed sinners w/ sins, agent of redemption and form of redemption. )

Read Shaman King 6. Ren has the most kick-ass entrance in the world. I can't believe I have to wait until SEPTEMBER to see him fight Yoh. >< And I'm not convinced that the little animal was firing a water hose at Manta and not simply pissing on him.

Now onto reviewing more stuffs, reading some plays, and thinking up analysis.

Reviewed RG Veda 1, Shaman King 2, and the Gankutsuou anime series on [livejournal.com profile] fangirl_crack. Obviously all of these reviews include spoilers under the cut! Might review the Sukisyou anime series tomorrow in addition to some more manga. Finished reading Angel Sanctuary 7. I have no idea why I'm suddenly into this series when I used to have only passing interest in it. Must be the lack of Sarah. Love love love the Mika, and the Raphael. And is it bad that I like Setsuna better as Alexiel? I get more Kira/Setsuna moments that way. XD

Talked with professor about story and he said my biggest problem was clarity. He also suggested on working on something smaller or else for a bit to see if I can't develop a better structure to my writing. I probably shouldn't have bitched about the workshop students to him.

Have to do announcements while I watch Veronica Mars tonight. House is a repeat and I don't want to be bored. Wanted to watch the Daily Show eps Tom dled but he's passed-out from staying up ALL NIGHT. He even came home from work ealry due to sleep deprivation. Poor child.

I just realized how close to ending the semester is. *cries in fear* Need to ask Billy if he wants to go to The Tempest.
