The Yay's and Nay's in anime and manga this week...
YAY: Gundam 00 conclusion was awesome!!! ^o^ I sort of got disheartened when I was watching the earlier episodes of the second season (because they paired off MY Allelujah with some weird girl! [ok, she's not really weird, but I'm being biased because, DANGIT! Allelujah was supposed to me MINE!!!]), but thanks to my brother's constant bugging, I got off my lazy, disillusioned ass and picked up the series where I left off the last time. And HOLY COW! I'm so glad I did! I think Gundam 00 is now officially my second favorite Gundam series, next to Wing. Pure Joy, I tell you. Well, I mean, not everything was roses and peaches, obviously, since this is a Gundam universe: they killed off Tieria while they left the universe's most annoying couple (a.k.a. Saji and Louise) alive. I mean, COME ON!!! If they were gonna kill off people, couldn't they have killed off those characters whose mere existences would be an utter waste of oxygen?!? And Tieria was just starting to grow on me too! The original Lockon's ghost (a.k.a. Neil Dylandy) just managed to get that stick shoved up Tieria's ass out during the unseen 4-year transition between season 1 and season 2! I was just actually starting to like Tieria! And then they killed him off. Oh well, to the purple-haired bishie's consolation, at least he is now perpetually with his beloved Veda... And then yeah, it's implied that Billy Katagiri and Sumeragi are involved in some sort of weird long-distance relationship with a bit of a Romeo and Juliet twist to it-- for some reason, I found that vaguely disturbing. Patrick Colasour and Kati Mannequin got married, which was just downright disturbing. AND to top it all off, MY Allelujah walks away from Celestial Being with Marie/Soma in tow! *pulls out hair in frustration* NOOOOOEEESSS~! But well, despite all those things, I still seriously, honestly LOVED Gundam 00 and its conclusion. I can't wait for the movie!!! *squeee~!*
NAY: Like my daughter, Ryu-chama, I just finished watching the last episode of Kuroshitsuji. I must admit that I agree with her final verdict of the series. Well, not quite so much about the making out part, since I'm really not into shota, but they could have given us just a bit more at the end. A bit more oooomph~!, if you know what I mean.
YAY: I was chatting with sugarcakey a couple of nights ago, and she showed me this picture that just totally made my month:
Yes, people, Nowaki and Hiro-san are now married! LOLZ! WIN~!!! Thanks again for this ^o^-inducing piccie, Sugar-chan!
NAY: Skip Beat! anime seriously MUST have a second season! IT MUST!!! They can't just end the anime like that! To quote Romeo during his balcony scene with Juliet: "O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?" SECOND SEASON!!! NAO!!! RAWR!!!
YAY: New SPoT (Shin Prince of Tennis) chapters uploaded in onemanga. Things are looking up so far! Can't wait for the real action to begin! Although, I must say that there's a decidedly depressing lack of Perfect Pair action going on... Konomi-sensei is such a tease! He left us craving for so much more after that Yakiniku of undying love episode!
NAY: Effing heck for Bleach and filler episodes! GUH~! *pulls out hair in frustration again*
So yeah... I guess that's it for my random bit of fangirling and series reviews... I just needed to let those off my chest.
