Anime Ramble lol.

So, I finally got around to watching most of the rest of Weiß Kreuz, and let me tell you, it is classic. I firmly believe that EVERYONE should watch it, just for the lulz. I think irishmastermind put it best, describing it as "so bad that it comes out the other side and is amazing again."
For example. Please take note of Exhibit A:
Who WOULDN'T keep their top-secret info in a folder like that?
This is about the level of subtlety demonstrated throughout the entire show. ^_^
ANYWAY. I still have to finish it off (I'm getting ready to start episode 20 RIGHT NOW, and then I have the 13 Glühen epis & the OVA to watch), but here are some of my thoughts thus far. XD
After about four episodes, I already totally saw what they did thar. Thus I present to you...
THE RULES OF WEIß:
1) If there’s a person from their past, or someone that REMINDS them of someone from their past, said person is either evil, or will end up dead.
2) Any girl who falls in love with one of them (or that they fall in love with) will be evil, killed, evil AND killed, or will leave the country.
Failing that, she’ll turn out to be RELATED to him.
Though...I'm a bit confused about Ouka now, since Omi wasn't Reiji's son. And since Ouka's mum was apparently still alive and working at that restaurant and Omi's mum committed suicide, they were actually cousins instead...right? (*looks to Anne for the answer*) Granted, this doesn't really make things COMPLETELY better, but I guess if they just didn't have kids, a relationship would be possible...still weird, yeah, but not straight-out INCEST.
Also, Aya is still my favourite. Though Schuldig is really right up there, and the fact that he's MUCH less angsty (thus far) wins him billions of points in my book.
Anyway…Episode #17…was just PAINFULLY bad. Most of the episodes have their *facepalm* or *headdesk* moments, but this one...the badness just BURNED. It’s the one where Aya and Botan (lol YYH flashbacks) have their “epic” fight in the rain where they roll around and punch each other in the face a lot, which pretty much equates to flirting, I think. It’s probably the most physical Aya’s gotten with anyone, ever. lol
Augh, and THEN Botan 1) fights with PAPER AIRPLANES which was enough to make me REALLY want him dead and 2) jumps in front of Aya and gets shot like 300 times by a machine gun. The bullets would totally have gone THROUGH him and hit Aya anyway.
The fact that I had to watch it dubbed did not help matters. (The site I found that had other Weiß episodes was missing 15-19…which meant I had to suffer through the dubbed ones I found on YouTube. ~_~;; )
Now, some lovely screen shots!
First of all, the prerequisite gay joke!
HAND CHECK.
Engrish makes everything better!
...I have no idea what that movie would be about, but part of me REALLY, REALLY wishes it existed. Though it sounds sorta like a porno.
I think it's a very old love story...
Yohji is srsly hi-tech.
Yohji: "Man, Omi...the group breaks up and your fashion sense gets even WORSE."
Omi: "What?" *clueless, as per usual*
...But this is my personal favourite.
Meanwhile, all Ken needs is the hat before he can start out on his quest to become a Pokémon Master.
Schwarz totally rocks.
I can't decide between a "Crossroads of the Twilight" and a "Restaurant At The End of the Universe" joke here.
Their conversation in this scene amused me as well:
Schuldig: Where’s Farfarello? What’s he been up to lately?
Nagi: He’s been neglecting his work. I think he went to pick on God again.
Me: WTF? …Well, yay. Not ONLY is he a psycho and a masochist, he’s got a God complex, too. Happy guy.
Aaaaand some Schuldig pics, because he's hawt. And evil. And cool. <333
...WHY don't guys like this actually exist?? *sigh*
Now that I've flooded you with images...Imma go finish the series. @__@ Hopefully.
