I really thought I was over 'Saiyuki,' somewhere between volume five and eight I lost a huge dose of interest in the series even with the amazing volume nine. Now, almost a year later, I can feel my interest in the series rising. A lot.

In fact, I can feel myself getting into full rant mode on the characterisation of Hakkai, the interactions of our heroes, and the theme of 'Fighting for Oneself,' even in the presence of mass denial. This, can only get messy.

But none of this will be done until I've finished my law and accounting mid-terms. Which really suck, as I suspect this is my way of procrastination, and once the exams are over I'll probably have lost the urge to rant. Nyar.
