Loving LJ and Marmalade Boy fun

Here are four reasons why I love LiveJournal.

crumpeteer has a snarky, hilarious summary of the second half of North & South.

pottersues deals with the story in which Hogwarts puts on a production of Rent, killing both fandoms in the process.

sarcasticchick writes a ‘translation’ of a Fox News interview re: Cheney hunting accident which is to die for.

Hmmm.

Miki:



Miaka:



To a degree, all anime women look somewhat similar, but I don't know. One of the things I love the most about FY (haven't seen any SM) is the beautiful art style (I love all of YW stuff I've seen so far because of it) and MB doesn't have that. For example, you can't see this in the Miaka pic because it's too small/not close-up enough, but I love the way YW does eyes so much better than the much simpler eyes of MB or HYD. MB also has sketchy backgrounds and a lot of pastels, very HYD-like...

For artwork, the animes I've liked best so far it's Trigun (it looks very quirky and unusual or maybe I am just so obsessed about it), Last Exile (which is fluid and 3D and gorgeous, even though the anime itself wasn't my bag) and FY (for a more traditional, gorgeous fairy-tale feel) and Howl's (which is just to die for, period).

P.S. That pic of Miki is misleading re: eyes (I know I keep harping on it but it's something that makes a huge difference to me). Her eyes are drawn much simpler in the anime: just big brown ovals with no shading or complicated pupils. While Miaka's eyes in FY are very complicated and shaded.

Anime maybe, but the manga style of MB looks quite similar to me to FY...

Wanna call me?

The boys especially aren't drawn like FY boys (I'd know, as I'd ogled FY boys quite exhaustively) :P
