Why can't I stop watching this?

Maybe it's because I watched a lot of Power Rangers as a child, or maybe I just love Sailor Moon, but I'm rewatching PGSM. This show is so dumb and corny sometimes BUT I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT!

☾ Some thoughts on watching this again...
☾ Quick, Sailor Team! Arrive in the nick of time and confuse the styrofoam monsters with your BAFFLING AND UNNECESSARY CARTWHEELS!
☾ No one thinks the actual plush cats are odd in the world, especially when they become hand puppets. It's almost like she's alive and not someone jiggling a plush while hiding behind a wall or around a corner. FOR REAL!
☾ They obviously didn't have the budget to do CGI hair for every scene, just attacks. Sailor Moon's CGI hair will always be hilarious.The hair changing during transformation always made a lot of sense to me, though. What a great disguise!
☾ Yes, all the spinning is necessary, our powers don't work otherwise! (That pretty much goes for the anime too, but hey, it's fun to watch.)
☾ I miss flamboyant Zoisite.
☾ That's where the budget went: The Dark Kingdom's costumes.
☾ Episode 13-Oh god, that girl turned into a furry! Kunzite's wig powers are truly nefarious!
☾ Minako's manager is the best character.
☾ Queen Beryl has the best actress. Her sexy voice is even comparable to Yoshiko Sakakibara, which says a lot (She voiced Nehellenia and Integra Hellsing. So awesome.)

This is pretty fun. I'm not even procrastinating today! Amazing.

Puppet Fight!

Oh my god, what is this? On a whim, started reading Karakuri Circus and this shit is bananas. People fight to the death with puppets. It's weird and funny. Why do I start reading all this shit when I'm so busy with work and school? Argh.

Yes, that's a puppet smashing another puppet with a puppet arm. How can something that sounds so outrageously stupid look so awesome?

The best day ever

*insert that stupid fucking ear worm song from Spongebob here*


It finally happened and now I own them. Sailor Moon and Sailor V, in English, not shit, and nothing is wrong in the world for me right now. I don't even feel bad about spending the money on these when I should be saving. I'm nostalgia-tripping right now it feels good.

Support the manga industry when you can. Even a cheap-ass like me does sometimes.

Negima 243

Yeah, there was no way that the tournament with Negi and Kotarou (as Nagi and Kojirou) against Rakan and Kagetarou was over in one chapter. No fucking way. And oh snap, it looks bad for Negi now...
I freaking love this series. Volume 21 should be out by Del Rey this month along with xxx-Holic 13 and I plan to pick up both when I get a chance. Negima 21 goes from when Negi was attacked at the gate port up to his fight with Kagetarou and introduces Rakan. This will be awesome. >__<

Naruto 437, Tsubasa 214, xxx-HOLiC 174

Okay, right off the bat. HUGE FREAKING SPOILERS for Tsubasa, xxxHolic, and Naruto.

You were warned.

First off, for Naruto... I really freaking hate Pain. He killed Grampa frog and most likely Gramma frog and now... Dear Hinata confesses her love to Naruto only to be slapped down by Pain and stabbed. There's no clear cut killing, but there's a good chance he gave her a fatal wound. Of all the people I'd hate to see die in this series, she was on the top of the list. God damn it. I love Hinata, and I really don't want her to be dead too... Needless to say, Naruto goes insane... Kyuubi-style.


Tsubasa 214 delivers YET ANOTHER of its many many twists, and this one left me thinking that I should have seen it coming. Everything that Syaoran has been working for has been to make up for a moment's hesitation and in what would seem to the story's climax, he grasps Sakura's hand and pulls her from the grip of death. Isn't this what Fei Wang didn't want to happen? No. His stupid smug little ass reveals to a very shocked Syaoran, Fai, and Kurogane, that this is exactly what he planned. What it all means remains to be seen, but in the chapter's last page, Yuuko is seen in a prone position in a flurry of flower petals... Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

That bad feeling is only reinforced by xxxHolic 174... Seeing my all-time favorite Clamp character disappear in a dream after ominously speaking of parting in the previous chapter isn't exactly a good sign. You would do that to me, wouldn't you, Clamp? Jeez. T__T Don't go, Yuuko! I love you so much!!


Please end it well, Clamp... My fangirly happiness depends on it...

xxx-HOLiC 168 and Tsubasa 203

As I'd mentioned before, the link between Syaoran and Watanuki has solidified tremendously. Watanuki unconsciously blames himself for the deaths of his parents (who were originally only Syaoran's parents, ie. CCS Syaoran and Sakura) and that guilt is what causes spirits to attach themselves to him. However, because of the people he has met who love and accept him, he no longer wishes to disappear. Syaoran, who blames himself for what happened to Kurogane's parents and Fai's twin, receives reassurance and acceptance from the two of them. Therefore both Syaoran and Watanuki can move forward. If both wish and believe strongly, and have others who believe as well, the future can be changed with their own hands.

Maru and Moro are trying their hardest to protect the shop so they, too, can stay by Watanuki's side. They thank Yuuko for teaching them important things. Once again, Yuuko becomes the coolest character ever because little by little, she has taught many important things to numerous people for the sake of others. I really love Yuuko. I want her and everyone to come out of this alive... that would be a good enough ending for me.

Negima 230

I wanna know more about the little boy in Ala Rubra. It's hilarious seeing Eishun get pissed over his great cooking being wasted. There's never enough Al, even in chapters where he's present.

Also, the chick at the end of the chapter, I bet a million dollars that it turns out to be Negi's mom. Negi's dad this, and Negi's dad that... the kid didn't hatch from an egg! What about Negi's Mom? Not a single mention... ever!? >__> I bet this 'Princess Arika' is her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be at all important to the plot.

*kyaaa!* Gin-sama figurine!

Today I got my Suigintou figure in the mail from my dad as a birthday present. Isn't she pretty? I'm so happy! She's a lot bigger than I thought she'd be. >__< I wanna collect all the Rozen Maiden figurines. That would be so awesome...

Anyway, I'm just being a giant dork... A giant happy dork. And I have quiche. The world is good.

*sigh*

If I sigh any more today, I swear my soul will fly right out of me. Seriously. The FOURTH episode of Kuroshitsuji will air tomorrow and I'm still waiting for one of at least two subbing groups to come out with or give any indication of releasing episode TWO.

I reserve the right to complain, bitch, and whine because this is my blog for my thoughts and I'm not pestering anyone but myself and the random expanses of the internet with my screaming and crying and fussing. >__< I WANT KUROSHITSUJI GOD DAMN IT!!!

Bleh.Also, having the raws for Rozen Maiden Tale 7 is almost as bad as having nothing at all. I can't wait for someone to get to translating that, either. I want to know what Bizarro Jum is up to and what Suigintou's saying to him and what Kanaria's doing and what Jun is doing and what Laplace is up to and what Saitou-chan is thinking and what Kirakishou is laughing about and...

;__; ...this isn't helping either. Maybe something amazing will happen over night. I can only hope...

Rozen Maiden ALiBAT

This game is insanely fun and the graphics are fantastic for something I got for free... The gameplay is pretty simple, basic controls being what they typically are for NES and SNES emulators.

I think the best part of the game is the music and sounds. They really put a lot of effort into it. It adds a lot to the atmosphere. It's also fun to hear them scream in voices that you're familiar with...

See what I mean? Watch Shinku vs. Suigintou or Suiseiseki vs. Hinaichigo. I freaking HATE Hinaichigo's piggy bank machine gun things...

Free doujin games with good graphics beat official games with better graphics any day. (See Rozen Maiden: Gebetgarten)

LOL Shinku Mugen-style... And Megaman vs. Kanaria is great, but I wanted Megaman to lose... ;__; Poor Kanaria. Her Partita of Retaliation was awesome!

I have to have something to distract myself from the fact that NO ONE has released Kuroshitsuji 2 yet or I'll go on a rampage...

You can download it from Desuchan.

D.Gray-Man 176 and anticipation...

The anime ended after 103 episodes, but the manga continues! *teary eyes* I've really come to love this series. I love the characters (except the Levoull-somthingorother dude that looks like Hitler) and the comedy and the action...

So yeah, latest chapter has another level 4... I freaking hate those things. They're ugly potbellied and mono-breasted doll-looking things and I find them both creepy and irritating. And they attack nuns and children (shame!). Not to worry, though. Allen and Kanda have some ugly ass to kick the shit out of. And they do. :D
In other news... I think I'm going to explode waiting for the next episode of Kuroshitsuji to come out... Shinsen takes a bit longer than other subbers, but their quality is well worth the wait... even though I'm really REALLY REALLY excited and want to see some mafia thugs die by having tableware thrown at them (in Hi-Def!).
Notice the dude on the right look over as the other two dudes fall over bleeding with silverware sticking out of them... >__<
This is gonna be sweet...

Clampstuffyay! xxx-HOLiC 167 and Mouryou no Hako 1

Downloading Mouryou no Hako 1 from Aero Subs. I'm glad someone finally got to subbing this! (Obviously, I have to see it because Clamp did the character designs, as you can see...)


Aside from that, everything is coming together in Holic and Tsubasa. Watanuki and Syaoran's connection is revealed, as well as Sakura from CCS. Technically, Syaoran (original) is the son of CCS Sakura and Syaoran, but because of choices he made, Watanuki was born too... Yuuko said they were closer than brothers, because, like Sakura's egg from Tokyo, something that should be one became two. It's complicated, but making more sense now... I hope everyone comes out of this well and alive, including Yuuko. Erbear and I agree that she's Clamp's most awesome character ever...


And also, an OVA! From TOW: A two DVD OVA has been announced for xxxHOLiC. The first DVD for this OVA will be released on January 16, 2009 with the 14th Volume of the manga. Another two DVD OVA which will crossover with this one was also announced for the Tsubasa series. Its first DVD will be released in February of 2009. It is not known if the OVA will continue on after the Himawari story arc to the next story arc, or if it'll be an anime-only ending.

Yay! I can't wait!
