Every time I listen to "I Want It All", I am more and more convinced that it would be the most horribly hilarious Monster AMV in all the world. (Well, almost--
bookelfe's interpretation of "I Don't Dance" as Tenma and Johan with "I don't gratuitously murder people!" "I know you can!" probably beats it. But only by a small margin.) Johan just wants fame and fortune! And for his sister to share it! "Fame and fortune" is totally equivalent to "unspecified murderous revenge/for-the-lulz on dozens of people", you guys. It does sort of amuse me that the only fannish idea I have for this series would involve very little in the way of the character I am madly in love with (look at that icon, he's like a goddamn puppy), but that is how I roll. Of course, I won't be able to make it until I finish watching the series in...about twenty-nine weeks, but that is also how I roll.
Through episode fifteen of Full Metal Panic now, and I think I prefer the Wacky High School Hijinks better to the actual, y'know, plot, which is offsetting since I started watching it because of elements of the plot, but apparently I am more drawn to things being shot and blown up when it is wildly overreactionary for them to be so. Of course the logical course of action when someone is inconveniencing the girl you're supposed to protect and li-i-i-ike is to pull a gun on them! And the best make-up gift you can give a girl is definitely a set of earrings that double as flash-bombs. See, when the romance angle in FMP is actually dramatic, it is honestly kind of boring. But when it's comedic? It's awesome. For some reason it is much less romantic when a boy rescues you from being experimented on by an evil organization than it is when he tackles your English teacher because he thought someone was trying to sneak up on you. And then you get to hit him! So it's all good, really. I have not had any impure thoughts about how Sousuke really likes following orders, not at all.
