Anyways, a report on stuff. Being watching waaaay too much anime. Waaaay too much. Approx 30 eps of Shaman King. I really, really like the series, unfortunately there are a few crucial changes in the anime from the manga that -really- annoyes me. It feel as if they have changed the foundamental makeup of certain characters, and I'm not endeared to those changes. So no, it'll never be one of my all time favs but it is -good-. The animation quality is very slick and nice, the fight scenes are rather fast and well done (LOVE the last four or so eps, LOVE IT!), and whoever adapted the manga script to anime didn't do a half bad job (my dissatisfaction may be solely due to my personal taste).
Watched about 10 eps of Get Backers (I NEED eps 17 onwards, NOT 23 onwards. NEED the missing eps. NEED!). Fun, fun, fun ^__^ Have decided that the character designs is pretty damn good, and the fight scence are very well done. Dome of those angles is quite imaginative and pretty awesome.
However, I'm still only getting sibling vibes from Ginji and Ban, but as I have been saying; Thunder Emperor and Midou Ban is a completely different story (and yes, this is a non subtle hint to fic authors). I might not get the slash for Ginji and Ban, but ohhhhhh, Kazuki and Juubei are so doing it, I'm refuse to back off on this one. I just refuse. I dare you to look me in the eye and tell me that they're -not- involved in the non-platonic way. I dare you.
Mabubex's story made me sad. And well the concept wasn't new it did surprised me and it actually fit into the overall story. However, now I'm left with a need to find good Mabubex fics exploring the meta and the pain of knowing all about it. You've to feel for the ones who can never leave 'infinite castle'.
Groove Adventure Rave constinue to be a like/hate relationship. It have potential, it sometime fullfill those potential and then, it lose the plot. *sighs* I won't rec the anime with much sincerity, but I would rec certain eps of the anime with much enthusiasim and love, because damn it, the anime series can push those emotional buttons with much skill and accuracy, but why can't they continue with the pressing for more than five eps. Grr. So yeah, I'm not recing the anime becuase it just isn't worth going through the whole thing. But oh, the few eps that made my eyes burn with unshed tears *sniffle*,
And that's that... well,I want to blah about 'ManKin' a bit more but I'll just get rather incoherent and will be jumping back and forth beween loving the series to nit picking it, and beside I -need- sleep. So, night - night all.

Geez, looks like someone's back into the series again.
Otherwise yeah, it is cool ^^;;; and I didn't mind the giant Kororo thing mainly because by that stage the X-Laws angels was making my eyes hurt -_-;; The fight scenes are fast and slick, the X-Laws angels are beautiful, and Yoh's soul being devoured by Hao made me shiver. There were many things that was good, it's just that, well, it isn't the manga. And they messed up Anna and Hao's first meeting. Grrr.
And welcome back ^___^
As for Hao and Anna's first meeting, I was dissappointed. It kept the jist of what happened but it was the little things that made it amusing to read. Oh well.
I still think the giant oversouls are rather lame... (okay... mostly Ren's and Chocolove's. Hah)
