Annoyed. I'm very tired, extremely tired but I can't seem to get back to sleep. ARGH!!

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.

So yeah, nice, big, deep breath. I passed ALL my fecking units this semester. Not exactly happy with the results considering the hours I put in, but hey, I passed and that's that.

Have watched 32 episodes of Groove Adventure Rave. And here's my impression of the series;

Episodes 1 - 10: It's pretty predictable. Plue is really quite annoying. I've seen anime series with the same premise and characters done with better direction. But I'll watch it anyway 'cos it seem to have a few intersting characters that haven't appeared yet.

Episodes 11 - 18: It's sort of endearing and charming in its own way, and Plue is really growing on me. Musica with short hair is really cute, Elie isn't annoying, and Haru have his moments. Of course, lets not forget Shuda who's sort of cool as well.

Episodes 19 - 24: Damn, Elie have a sucky life, and wow, the emotional impact these episodes packed in are hard. Wow. Wonderfully executed; great character development, better animation quality and more back story is revealed. The bad guys seems really -interesting-.

Episodes 25 - 32: FUCKING BASTARDS WHERE THE HELL IS THE REST?!?! I NEED MORE!!! ARGH! It's in the middle of the main fight, and Gale is pretty fecking awesome, and damn it, where is the REST?????

RL friends, who have the rest of Rave? HELP!
