so I am now completely caught up on Durarara!!, and

well that's certainly one way of making a bland female character interesting, isn't it!

(ALSO: hilarious enough that Erika openly ships Izaya/Shizuo, but even more so when one of the blink-and-you'll-miss-it yaoi manga covers in the bookstore is clearly them with different hair colors, y/y?)

Well I should probably talk about what I've been doing for the past--nine days, seriously? Damn. Anyway, quick non-spoilery summary of Monster 44-48: pretty much at this point all my reactions are "HOLY SHIT GRIMMER", because. Holy shit Grimmer. Also, Detective Suk = D: D: D: and Tenma = :D :D :D and pretty blond lady = so called it, oh this series ( Read more... )

Being back in college means being back with friends who will let me borrow their stuff, which is how I ended up reading the first three volumes of Vassalord and Petshop of Horrors. Uh. They are both very interesting! Vassalord is, well, it says right on the back of every volume that it is about "a cybernetic vampire who does the Vatican's dirty ( Read more... )

It has always amused me that the seiyuu for Albert in Gankutsuou has played ridiculous amounts of canonically-gay/deliberately-subtexty characters; dude's been in everything from Kuroshitsuji to xxxHolic to Pandora Hearts to Princess Princess, and he was even Ryan in the Japanese dub of High School Musical, which is pretty baffling in and of itself ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving does not begin for several hours here, but there is much preparation going on, mostly because we're hosting it for the first time in years; we also have actual relatives coming, which, well, okay we usually have my mom's cousin and her husband, but this year we have said cousin's parents (and not, I believe, said cousin--oh man, are we ( Read more... )

I finished the first season of Holic and then it made me cry. D: D: D: IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. WHY DID IT DO THAT. Stupid emotional attachment and character development. Actually it was not so much 'development' as 'elaboration upon what has been there for quite some time', but still. I didn't expect to grow this ridiculously fond of ( Read more... )

I go home tomorrow morning! By which I mean, I get home tomorrow evening except that is actually tomorrow afternoon because I will be traveling into the past. Or across a couple timezones. Whichever. In any case, classes are done and I haven't had much to do the past couple days anyway which is how I ended up watching the first sixteen episodes of ( Read more... )

I have not done one of these things for a while, but hey, the mood strikes. What are you talking about, homework, you can wait and you know it.

( Wild Adapter in Perhaps Slightly More Than Fifteen Minutes Because I Got A Bit Rambly With This One )

I am stating for the record that Sengoku Basara is the greatest samurai series that has ever existed or will ever exist in any timeline, dimension, or other alteration of reality. Sure, there's gloriously ridiculous outfits and inexplicable magic powers despite it technically taking place during a real centuries-ago time period. Sure, there's epic ( Read more... )

What I do when I should be working: indoctrinate a friend into Princess Tutu (she likes Fakir! she has good taste), discover the creepiest Kuroshitsuji promo pic in all the world (which is saying something), realize I am actually terribly fond of HRE (the preview for his MKC is sad, you guys, Chibitalia's is all bubblegum and sparkles but HRE's ( Read more... )
