My cats need a bath
Aug. 25th, 2006 10:35 amI'm slow so when I was watching my Host Club episodes the other day, I started paying attention to the names. I figure they're done on purpose. I immediately got the Suoh (Nokoru) connection from day one since they are practically identical. Ohtori (Akio/Anthy) was a rather late discovery and now amuses me terribly. The shadow king. The evil but nice facade. That Haruhi's surname comes from an actual Japanese city is also quite relevant to her plainess. I do ponder about the twins though. I have possible inklings of Kaoru as Kaworu of Evangelion fame but I see it as far-fetched. No clue where Hikaru came from. Also lost on Honey and Mori. I guess the trick doesn't apply to everyone.
I also caught up with Weed to 25, which had some of the worst animation in 23, alarming since it was Kyoushirou's moment to shine. The fight with Bat was pathetic but Tesshin's fight with Kite made up for it. What's with the return of the evil humans theme? It makes no sense since Hougen doesn't exactly leave Gaijou. How does he expect to reach the humans from there? Or is he only amassing troups for now? The theme does tie in with Kaibutsu and Hougen/Genba's past, but I still have a tough time accepting that as Hougen's motivation. I'd rather see it as the humans messed up the brothers so bad that now they are just crazy. That makes more sense, given Hougen's actions. He's not a good leader at all. Weed is too strong, and it irks me. I want Jerome back, even if something horrible will happen to him. And wow, Reika stopped sucking for just a moment there...before she ended up needing to be rescued again. Why the hell can't any of the girls fight in Weed? I like Cross, but she never does anything anymore. Weed needs more strong girls, not ones who die or need eternal rescuing. It's terribly demeaning.
Um, I don't know where I'm supposed to go today. I probably need to go to work to figure it out.
