"I Did Not Know That About Myself...."
So, since I had NOTHING TO DO TODAY BECAUSE I'M DONE WITH MY SEMESTER HAHAHAHA, I decided to head over to YouTube and finally check out the newest anime Adult Swim began playing around the start of this month (?), Blood+, after catching the end of Saturday's episode and becoming intrigued.
Naturally, this newest obsession led to thoughts of other Bishie Whom I Adore, and I discovered a curious thing--can you spot it, I wonder?:
Samurai Champloo: Jin
InuYasha: Sesshoumaru
Bleach: Byakuya
Cowboy Bebop: Vicious
Peacemaker Kurogane: Hijikata
They're a little on the femmy side, no? (though Hijikata's got a manlier slant to him...still, though...he has pretty hair, and he's fun to look at, especially in the manga, so he's on the list) And now Hagi *pauses to wipe drool from keyboard* joins their ranks. Which makes me wonder, does this say anything about what I want? Do I maybe subconsciously want a guy who's pretty to look at? Someone who I don't want doing a whole lot of talking, just a lot of sitting, looking pretty with his pretty hair (and all of the men on the above list excel at the "sitting-quiet-and-being-pretty" thing)? Or maybe I just want a pretty psychopath. Because all of the boys on that list up there (which is not the full version of Bishie Whom I Adore, you understand--I'll post that later, maybe) have some serious issues...that they tend to resolve...by lopping someone's head off. o.O
Anyway. So now I have a new anime to watch, and from what I've seen so far, it promises to do a better job at capturing my interest than Trinity Blood did (was I the only one who was happy to see it end and then not get shown eighty billion times like Adult Swim usually does?) That was one where I honestly couldn't have cared if everyone died or not. I was mildly interested in Abel and Cain's (and I guess Seth's) origin story, mostly to see how or even if it would play off the Biblical story at all, but even while I was watching it, I was thinking, "Yeah...I wouldn't watch this again." And I go back and forth with Eureka Seven. I can't decide if I hate it or not. Both Eureka and Renton keep tricking me; they start getting cool, and then they freak out and go all emo on me and make me want to bash my head into a wall. Holland is another one who's on thin ice with me. Talho's okay, I like her--she's consistent and kick-ass and I appreciate that, though I wonder how she can stand all the bi-polar whack-jobs around her. And Holland's brother Dewey is just fucking creepy. Everyone else annoys me to various levels.
I think I probably continue giving it a chance because I like most of the music on Eureka. Music is big for me. Part of the reason I'm so insanely in love with Bleach is because it always has awesome fucking music that makes me happy. Blood+ has kick-ass opening and ending songs (first season, anyway; I'm not terribly fond of season two's opening and ending songs, and haven't seen/heard any of the 3rd or 4th season's yet), and the music within the show itself also meets my standards quite well. InuYasha, I have a love-hate relationship with, music-wise (don't get me started on the plot...). I like only four of its many ending songs (and two of them are the two D.A.I. did), none of its opening ones, and go through fits of like and dislike with the character themes and the like. Rurouni Kenshin is half and half--though I have to say, I HATE "FRECKLES" BECAUSE IT TRICKED ME WITH THE INTRO AND THAT'S NOT COOL, DAMMIT. Hellsing's opening song is wicked good, its ending is crap, and within the show itself, the music is two thumbs up. Champloo is another one that gets it right every time, like Bleach. So does FMA. And Cowboy Bebop is...well, come on--it's Cowboy-frickin'-Bebop. Jazz and the blues, what's there not to love about it? "The Real Folk Blues" pwns all other anime ending songs, I don't care what anyone says.
*sigh* Anyway. So I think I'm done. Tomorrow (or maybe I should say later today) is looking like the day I'm going to let you all know whether or not Captain Mis & Small Things will get updated in the very near future. I'm kinda doubtful, because FF.Net has been acting weird for more than a week now, and that makes me nervous. I'm trying to keep a positive outlook, but that's hard to do when you can't really do anything, and haven't been able to do anything for a while now. Hopefully I'm being pessimistic without reason.
Later days, all.
