Memoirs of the Angst-Bitch

Post to entertain me while I wait for slow-ass D-Grayman 13 filler of crappiness to finish. I only want it to see Rabi telling Allen they should huddle for warmth and then braid Kanda's hair. Then again, I could be watching it just for Rabi. Kanda's not as hot and angsty in the anime as the manga.

Watched Naruto: The Abridged Series. It had some great laughs, but it hit a few fatal flaws. One, true parodies mock the shit out of their characters without convincing fans that the maker truly hates the character. I honestly believe the maker of this has some issues with Sakura. Possibly some pent-up rage against the KakaIru fans too. I won't complain about the constant NaruSaku references or anything that implies Sasuke as straight because that's fan-stuff. But there is a way to tease characters without being a well, bitch. LittleKuriboh has a field day with Bakura and Kaiba, but none of it is ever vicious to the point where it stops being funny. I think it's because Yuugi talking shit to Kaiba is simply crackilicious and therefore can never be wrong. I can see the episodes are starting to get better as they go along, but some jokes last too long or just don't strike the right funny keys. I also wish the maker could attempt the voices, but that's not a parody requirement so it's his choice how to deal. psst fans love the gay jokes. where are the gay jokes?

2007 Resolutions:
1. WRITE MOAR!! Find some way to manage time or whatever to write again or at least attempt.
2. Take more assertive role in career.
3. Conquer fear of driving to certain places like airports and convention centers.
4. Stop being such a damn chicken when it comes to the Internets.
5. Finish Psychosis. Hah I'm laughing at that too.
Bonus 6. Maybe start Heritage and cosplay some version of Lelouch at an upcoming con.


Still not up for social interaction. A result of semi-sickness and total blindness in one eye. Otherwise I'd be kicking back with CompSci or Dana. Therefore, a random entry is in order.

1. The final volume of Gankutsuou made me cry. Even the hotness of adult!Albert and adult!Lucien couldn't make up for it. I bet Franz would have made an equally hot adult. Gankutsuou is just so sad and perfect.

2. I'm trying to watch DGrayman anime again. I don't know why since if I decide to stick with it, it will be coming out faster than the manga, and I'll have to drop one for fear of spoilers. I think it was the promise that Lavi would be voiced by one of the Hitachin twins. I didn't realize Lavi was the official translation and not just a horrible mistake. That's going to take some getting used to.

3. I want to know if Cantarella is on hiatus and whether it's worth the emotional investment I'm prepared to give it. I love Higuri's artwork, but the stories don't always match up.

4. Yaoi fans should not review Only the Ring Finger Knows. It's not yaoi. It's not meant to be yaoi. It's meant to be cute shonen ai where the guys actually develop feelings for each other and go through your slice of life problems. Yes there's sex but even that's not encompassing. And ugh I hate it when Yuichi is referred to as seme. I don't care if he is, it's just tacky. I'm sad there's only three volumes.

5. I am never again venturing to Angel Sanctuary comms in search of perdy icons. I think I need to reboot my brain after that. For the moment, it's almost entirely teenage Viz readers, which I would normally have no problems with, but when you don't even know who friggin' Cain and Abel are or can't connect the Cain Saga and Godchild...I just don't know what to say to you. Don't get me started on the Lucifer hate and the reasoning that would make clampficrants proud. I just want to gouge out both eyes now.

6. I don't know why I love Her Majesty's Dog. I just do.

7. I noticed some real dicks while I was catching up on my YGO:TAS. Why can't people ever be civil to each other? These are the people who'd probably punch you in the dark and run away laughing.

Used non-LJ time to catch up on anime since I have NO life. Oh also found awesome art of Axel as a pirate (Bro and I snickered at the R brand on his hand, which was given no explanation by the artist) and the Nobody form of Sora (no, not Roxas). Also some depressing trio action and OrgXIII aweness.

DGrayman could be better. Could be much better. But it does have Kanda. The more screen time Kanda gets, the more I'm inclined to watch the show. Who knows, Kanda might be my driving force behind this series much as Vamp!Kamui is for Tsubasa. Might even nudge me into the scanlations. We'll see if he manages to pique my interest anymore over the next few episodes. At least the music's growing on me.

Geass is wildly different with subs. LuLu is a lot more gay. I didn't think that was possible, given how much Bro and I gay him up during our watching sessions. But it's nice to actually know what Lelouch is saying when he's going on about Britannia. So Light. I want fanart. Someone needs to find me some good Japanese fanart sites. I think I'm also to the point where I've disconnected LuLu and Kamui, although I will still used not!Kamui to identify him in my icons because it amuses me. But yeah, LuLu could kick Kamui's ass, and I'd pay to see that. And people need to make more Geass icons so I don't have to resort to making my own sucky versions.

I also learned something interesting about Okami and spoiled myself as usual. I finally got my PS2 and game back from the Netherworld so I might be able to play it. But I'd rather go somewhere else tomorrow. If that falls through, I guess I have an alternative.
