Anybody else a fan of the delightful Peach Girl anime? I saw it a few years back (just click on the tag) and adored it - it's a funny, fluffy (and occasionally angsty) shoujo tale with a kickass heroine and one of my favorite anime guys.

...to announce that the lack of subtitled Kame/Nun is presently killing my soul!

I want my starving boxers and chirpy novices!

*weeps in emo*

If I had a dollar for every time I checked for subs, I'd be rich.

But this isn't about it. Per calledinvain, who is really really good about finding out stuff like this ( Read more... )

In my new found Kimi Wa Petto love, I bring you this Sumire/Momo vid I found:

Btw, did they make the drama before the manga was finished? Because they left out all sorts of stuff that came out in the later part of the manga.

Also, not connected but someone make a good live-action adaptation of Peach Girl! Come on. The Taiwanese one hurts my ( Read more... )

I am now on vol. 3 of Hot Gimmick and am mightily surprised to find myself not loathing Ryo any more. (Though I still think Shinogu is the only decent guy in the story.

The excellent m-jade8 has started a Bolly fic comm. Go check it out (and join, and write!). bolly_fics.

I have started watching Peach Girl live action. I have also finished it. Oh no, I didn't marathon it fiercely. I just stopped watching it, period. The guy playing the Kairi equivalent is cute, but that is the most I can say for this. No one knows how to act (" ( Read more... )

Off to watch Veronica Mars. And I am cranky, because my Peach Girl live action isn't here yet. Booooo.

I was also thinking about Saiyuki being so slash-prone. I can understand that, as you stick a number of attractive guys around who have no current love interest and the women are all eiher secondary or dead. (And hey, even if you forget about ( Read more... )

Because the next thing I am likely to be watching at length is the Peach Girl Taiwanese live-action adapation, here are some pictures.
