Memoirs of the Angst-Bitch

First things first, AWWWWW.

Tried to get Reborn 2 today but mostly came back with Godchild 6 and Air Gear 2. Ugh how long do I have to sit through these boring people before the story gets good? Love Crehador in Godchild though. I think he's taken the spot of my second favorite character; I always enjoyed him in the regular Count Cain series. I enjoy his concern for Cain, even if he tries to hide it. Oscar is up there somewhere too. Cain's reaction to what happened to Riff surprised me, as I was expecting him to take it much worse. But nope, he's Kaori Yuki's boy so naturally he just goes driven and slightly crazed. Jizabel has sparked some new interest in me though. I had heard there was more to him than meets the eye, but now I'm finally starting to believe it, outside of Cassian, who will always be an awesome character. Cain's devotion to Riff is almost frightening; I love it! Well, Cain, who has rarely been allowed to keep anything in his life, would naturally be possessive of the thing he's always held most dear. Also, I know the end. I don't know the details. I would appreciate it if people didn't give me any not-spoiler comments such as "Oh it's going to get worse" and things of the like. I enjoy the mystery and suspense of Godchild.

I also laughed at the old Shoujo Beat interview with Yuki where she all but admitted she's NUTS.

Also watched my Terra e. Lord, Keith is such an enigma. I really liked the part where Sam was naming the birds after his friends, including Jomy. The rivalry between Serge and Matsuka is also intense. I was said that Leo and Tony act as the shoulder angel and shoulder devil for Jomy. I think the same might be said about Matsuka and Serge. Though those two are much less inclined to tell Keith what to do and neither of them is wholly innocent. It really got to me when Matsuka saved Keith from the assassin just to have Keith call him a monster. Why oh why does Keith have to be so devoted to Grand Mother? He knows the entire system is messed up; he just can't see any alternative to following it. As he believes, the people need it. I wonder what the story plans to do with the Mu girl. I was really touched when Jomy's foster mother protected her, after recalling how she had abandoned Jomy during that time. Aww they remember.

So last night I was privy to information that should have yanked me out of my slump by point of perspective, but it didn't. I'm beginning to think I should take some more serious action but I don't like to think about what that action is. -_-

I cannot help but be saddened by the tragic nature of Riff's character. It's just his general manner and the way he speaks and the design of his devotion. It's too soft, too fragile. It says "I'm foreshadowing. I will lull you into a sense of fluffy friendship and then SNAP!" I also know he's doomed because that's how Yuki rolls. People hinting that bad shit's going to go down with him kinda goes over my head since it's obvious. I wonder if Angel Sanctuary 15 is out yet. I wants more Lucifer.

I saw someone mention no matter what couple you enjoy in Naruto, you cannot help but adore Iruka/Kakashi. Actually I can. Because see, I found both terribly dull together. They're cute when interacting with the children. Kakashi's cool when interacting with other adults. But the thought of them snuggling and whathaveyou. Bleh. There's far more chemistry between Kakashi and Gai but Gai isn't pretty so he gets kicked to the curb. I have never liked KakaIru even when I first got into the series. I saw art and I was like "And?" I think it just promises too much fluff for me and not enough bite. Maybe if people stopped drawing them like married couples and put more NINJA into the artwork, I'd be more interested.

Manga Goals for the eve:

-Here is Greenwood catchup (3-5)
-RG Veda catchup (2-3)
-FMA catchup (2-4)
-possibly random shonen ai tossed in there

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.
