I turned in my spnspringfling fic last night, more or less on time (wrong midnight deadline, whoops), which I am happy with. The fic itself... right now I'm in my "oh god it sucks" phase, but we'll see how I like it when it's posted.
I know that they have something of a bad rap, and I'm know it's deserved at points, and that some people use anon posting to just be assholes, but guys, I love anon memes. I love how you can just accidentally stumble into conversations where the other person seems like your long lost soul mate. A few days ago I was talking about Jo/Adam on a panfandom meme, and now I'm talking about Rurouni Kenshin on an unrelated fandom-specific meme.
on the Rurouni Kenshin note, first off, it is what I consider to be one of the greatest manga series ever created, it is one of my all-time favorite stories in any media, and while I usually don't care too much if somebody insults/finds fault with something I do like, this is the exception. Please keep any unkind words about Rurouni Kenshin away from my ears. But anyways, there's a live-action movie coming out this August, and guys, it looks amazing.
At first I was like "WHY DOES KENSHIN NOT HAVE RED HAIR?" but the instant the actor said "Oro" I was sold. AND HIS SMILE. He has the perfect smile for Kenshin. And the Kaoru looks perfect. The Megumi looks perfect. The Sano looks perfect. The Saito looks perfect.
THE COSTUMES LOOK PERFECT.
AND GOD THE ACTION SCENES MY GOD THEY LOOK SO COOL. Although Watsuki did an excellent job at drawing the fight scenes in the manga, I liked the anime better at parts because you could actually see all of the fights, but I am going to like the movie even better because we are going to actually see all of the fights with actual people and most likely some CGI.
And even though it's just a preview, I am really impressed by Kenshin's actor's acting. The first half of the minute of the preview is him as Kenshin, and then it's Battosai and he still owns it. And then when he's fighting as Kenshin, . That's gotta be hard to pull it off, but he does it perfectly.
As soon as I can get my hands on a subbed copy, I am going to be on it.
and seriously ugh it is too hot I am going to try and find someplace cool in the house.
