Uhuhuhuhu~ Ohgod yes just. you keep them wonderfully in character, yes. |D And o Hibari, o Mukuro. xD The mental image of Gokudera breaking down into Italian is lovely, and Dino's confusion, yes yes yes. ♥

♥~! Thank you, glad it pleases! I was horribly worried with how the fic turned out, but I'd been doing so many minor edits to it the past few days I just decided to throw it out and be done with it.

It really was supposed to be just a Hibari and Mukuro fight scene etc., but Mukuro decided he wanted to have a bit of fun. Poor Dino. >:3 And gods yes, I think about Gokudera breaking down into Italian all the time. I couldn't not write it in when the opportunity presented itself.

S-someday I should actually watch the anime, just to hear Dera's voice, because man, having a general idea of what he might sound like speaking Italian? U-unf. *_____*

But yeah, no, fic is totally awesome, yus. :DDD

Oh man, I can't even sincerely recommend the anime for that. I really didn't like anyone's voice in the anime when I first watched it (save for Lambo's which was horrendously cute). I like Ryohei's, and Gokudera's eventually grew on me, but it wasn't what I was originally expecting. I still wish Tama's voice was a bit lower. Mukuro's is somewhat fitting, because his voice drops at all the right moments (ie. when he gets serious).

Buuut, if you even remotely like Squalo, Takahashi Hiroki (Eiji's seiyuu) as Squalo was so much ♥. Just hearing him go 'hooooi!' makes me fangirl a little bit inside each time. Lol. And listening to Coronello speak and say 'kora' at the end of his sentences. And 20YL!Lambo! I actually just downloaded the entire series, and then pretty much skipped most of the earlier episodes and watched the Viara arc. And ohgodsyes, I tend to babble about seiyuu. *shame*

Hahahahaha. xD I mean, I know Dino's voice didn't really work for me, but it's like that for most of the voices? (W-Well, Ryohei does have Oshitari's seiyuu, yeah.)

I. ohgod I love Varia so much. xD And was breaking my brain over the fact that he shared the same seiyuu as Eiji and Hisoka, yeah. xD) A-and oh that's right, 20YL!Lambo would have shown up, huh. |DDDD Dude, that is totally okay. I mean. PoT. Seiyuu galore, man.

His Ryohei voice is very different from Oshitari's, but still somewhat fitting his personality. He uses this somewhat medium-pitched gravely voice for Ryohei that is both dorky and extremely Ryohei-like. Hibari is nice to listen to, but I originally thought it was too low. They all do have a tendency to suddenly pitch their voices lower when they get serious though, which sort of makes up for it except not.

But oh man. You MUST watch the episode where Gokudera turns chibi (episode 39!), because that was so many amounts of cute. And Bel's seiyuu, whom I don't know but who was apparently in the PoT live action movie does such a perfect Bel, especially once he turns psychotic. A bit painful on the ears to listen to at times, but Bel nonetheless. lol.

Nice, nice. But hahaha, yeah, I definitely thought Hibari's voice was too low, in comparison to Kenta and KENN's voices for Dino. xD;

Hahaha oh man, they animated that chapter? xD! And Bel's seiyuu was... one of the Kamio-actors? I think. But that's good to know, that he pulled off Bel. I'd be sad if they didn't get a good Varia cast. >:

They did animate it and I just about died with the cute, it was so ridiculous. They also animated the chapter where child!Lambo was in adult!Lambo's body (ep.29). It was pure omgithinkiwilldiefromthehorror brilliance. Because they do make Tsuda Kenjiro do the voice acting for that episode and I was torn between laughing my head off and being completely mortified. I settled for something a bit in between.

Kamio actor, yes. I actually do think they did a good job on the Varia cast, more so than they did with the main characters. Squalo still so much win. <3

randomly: Date Masamune icon love! Nakai Kazuya ♥!

O-ohmygod hahahahaha just the thought of that is so beautiful, man. (I-is your icon from that ep, ohdearlord socute.)

Sweeeet. *_______*

*will admit that she's only read the first chapter of the manga, and played the game not at all* But dude, that first chapter alone? SO FILLED WITH DORKY GOODNESS. How could I not icon that expression.

*reading your fic again, guh* *___* Aaah, HibaGoku, my crack pairing love~ Besides Hibari/Xanxus and Mukuro/Xanxus among other things anyway. xD;

Should waaatch. chibi!Gokudera kills with the cute.

Hoh. Will admit I've never seen the manga. But you must see him in the game! I don't know if you're a Nakai Kazuya fan, or if you're familiar with him, but he rocked so much as Masamune. *_* He kept throwing out random phrases in english. It was much ♥ You can check out the opening for his campaign here (couldn't find a better quality one) and other cutscenes as well as his ending here (it has chinese subs on it, but you can hear him loud and clear eitherway).

♥♥! Crack pairing love is good! Oh man, I am reminded how most of my PoT "OTPs" were crack pairings. ... Hibari/Xanxus and Mukuro/Xanxus... WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO SEE. *prods you to write*

I will, I will! Thanksgiving break is coming up. |D

There's only one chapter scanlated, which is why it's the only one I have. And oh lord, I SO WOULD. If it weren't on the PS2. orz But I will watch the YouTube vids, yus~ :DDD

Oh lords, yeah, PoT. I was all Atobe/Hiyoshi/Taki triangle in there, though my main Rikkai pairings were fairly mainstream. Seriously, I'm kind of really thankful sometimes for not falling for YamaHiba instead or YamaGoku, because ohgod for once one of my main, main ships is a ship that actually has a fandom. orz

HIBARI/XANXUS I ADMIT IS MOSTLY BECAUSE IT IS HOT, but Mukuro/Xanxus? Their interactions so far have been awesome. Sadly, I cannot write Mukuro.

Hoh. Will have to go dig up that one chapter that was scanlated. I seldom pick up manga based on videogames, if only because most of the time I'm just too busy playing the game. Haha.

You know, I semi-shipped Hiyoshi/Gakuto if only because there was this Japanese fanartist that at the time did the most wonderful Gakuto ever. He was all, teenage boy with hormones instead of ukeish and it was so. much. love. Especially during a time where popular fandom portrayal was bendyuke!Gakuto. *babbles* My only mainstream Rikkai pairing was D1, which later gave way to Niou/Marui, so I lost that too. D: And then there was the fact that TezuRyo was one of my major OTPs in the series, and it only got popular once I was out of the fandom. The injustice of it.

And I am totally with you on YamaGoku. Every time I like a pairing, I expect it to not be popular with the fandom. So I was really surprised (and glad) that YamaGoku was one of the more mainstream pairings. Which is probably why I suddenly found myself writing HibaGoku whut. D:Like I ( ... )

Hahaha, I've never finished a single game in my life, besides the first Phoenix Wright game, so chances are, I'd never finish Basara either. xD; But yeah.

Oh man, HiyoGaku. Yeeeees, loved that pairing too, and god, I hated fandom's interpretation of Gakuto so damn much. (Dirty Pair? Auuuuugh.) And mmmm, Niou/Marui. There were some really pretty doujinshi for tha. |D A-and hahaha, I admit I never really got into TezuRyo, but I blame that more on my frustration at Ryoma, and also the fandom. (I had this GENERAL DISLIKE for some of the more vocal members of the TezuRyo fandom, man.)

Yeeeees, definitely, definitely. I mean, DinoHiba got totally eclipsed by MukuHiba - at least in the English fandom - but YamaGoku? Still going strong. /o/ Well, given canon... xD; And that is totally A-OK. T^Tb ♥HEE. |D A-and man, Mukuro and Xanxus together would be frightening, but I am just. totally in love with the little interaction they had after the match for the Ring of Mist, and then we find out that Mukuro's been giving one-sided commands to Varia ( ... )

I've never finished Basara truth be told. Hard to finish hack and slash games like that, though I have finished story mode for most of the characters I like. Truth be told, I think I'm a gamer first and foremost. (I am known to drop everything for them. Heck, I was gone from LJ for 3 years because of it.) I find it kind of hilarious that I now can't play anything because of the current Reborn addiction. Must. Remedy. Soon.

Vocal members? Omggg. Where were the vocal members of TezuRyo fandom when I was shipping them. *fangs* (Though in retrospect, I might have gotten just as annoyed mayhaps.) Man, I hated all those pairing names that fandom came out with. I mean Golden Pair was fine because of canon, but did they have to come out with names for nearly every other pair. unghungh. There were so very few people who agreed on my take on Gakuto, so I mostly took to myself with anything concerning Gakuto. Niou/Marui remains to be one of the few PoT pairings I still ship (along with YukiMizu and SanaAku yey), because I think their chemistry ( ... )

Hahahaha, I've never been much of a gamer! It doesn't help that I get motion sickness from like... half the stuff too, and I suck at fighting anyway. xD (I. I am trying to finish Fire Emblem though. orz) But yeah, Reborn's completely eaten my brain.

W-well, by vocal I mostly mean bookshop and lovedoesthat. I'm sure bookshop is nice and all, but her Intro to PoT guide? Not everyone is gay, thanks. Really, making a guide like that, for people new to the series, she should have tried to make it as unbiased as possible. And lovedoesthat actually trolled the TezuFuji comm once, so. :/ Also, she wrote kinda mediocre Rikkai hospital fic. But loooooord, yes, the pairing names annoyed me so damn much. People didn't agree with your take on Gakuto? I found it to be some of the most IC Gakuto I'd seen, man, amidst all the wai wai uke Gakuto-chan~ orz YukiMizu and SanaAku uhuhu~ Sounds interesting. |D ( ... )

But there are so many other games that don't require hax fighting skills! I suck at fighting games actually, and I hate shooting games. I tend to play RPGs because they're more up my alley, and they tend to have the more interesting storylines/characters. Fire Emblem. *_* A game I cannot play because I don't have the console for it.

Aah. Right, I remember I'd been out of PoT fen for a while by the time Aja got into the series. So I was never witness to whatever drama that happened once the TezuRyo fandom exploded. (Though I did hear bits and pieces of it from friends, but I retained a strict 'no longer in it, therefore I don't care' policy regarding it.) You know, this is another reason I love my game fandoms. They tend to be small and inconspicuous. And annoying people from slash fen don't get into it.Well I've never had people outright disagree with my take on Gakuto. It's just I knew what the general fandom take on him was, so I pretty much kept to myself on the get go. I don't even remember how I came up with SanaAku (I think it ( ... )
