Class Warfare and Evil Druidical Football!

With a subject line like that, I can only be talking about one thing - Weiss Kreuz: Side B!

( When last we left Ken, he was considering going psycho. Er. More psycho. )

Damn, that was exciting! Why do I feel your version was probably better than the original?

It's getting manlier! Jonathan's really enjoying getting his hands (and football boots) on Ken's tender goalie body.

The really scary thing is that when the dialogue gets really freakish, that's when my translations are the most careful and accurate . . .

I really love you translating Aya's facial expressions, especially How about I crack you open with my inscrutable Oriental martial arts, you racist fucker?

I'm convinced that Free is an elf. There's no other explanation.

Thanks for the reviews. Since I don't get to see these myself, I have to live vicariously through your posts!

Hee! It's totally on crack. I don't much like the art style (oh, for the good old days), but the story lines are as insane as ever.

Free is an elf. But not a vampire, alas, as I checked and he's from Lichtenstein, not Romania. Chloe's from Romania.

Vol 5 is currently out in Japanese. I eagerly await the German translators getting their fingers out and providing me with more Weiss-crack!

I think the faces are pretty but the bodies and cloth are stiff and wrong. I'm also trying to figure out the masks. What's the use of covering one side of your face? Why the hell does Free wear a mask that doesn't cover his distinctive facial markings? Oh, I'm thinking about this way more than Koyasu and his artist are.

Man, even Koyasu is against the Welsh. Harsh.

Oh please, please can I link this on fandomfootie? Or you could, uh, come on over and crosspost it... :D :D :D

Thank you!

Omi shows up from time to time - sometimes he's just mentioned, sometimes there's a few panels of him looking glum, in newer issues. As far as I know, Schwarz haven't shown up (yet), but Yohji appeared in a brief flashback.

BWAHAHA. Oh my. Reading this felt sort of like being on LSD. I can't imagine what the actual canon is like. I don't think I want to find out. XD

daegaer May 27 2006, 21:36:53 UTC

Dude, the class/accent/dialect discussion and mystical Welsh nationalist football is pure canon!

i'm getting more convinced of David/Ken, too :-) Also, Chloe just is that much of a bitch.
