Birthday Post and KKM 74
I'm thankful this birthday. Had a quiet celebration with family but 1st time without sister. Feels kinda weird. Miraculously got a birthday present... KKM 74 eng sub is out today! Very... blessed... is the word I guess. Made the usual wish. Have been granted it every year so am thankful. Kids also gave presents. Very surprised. Also, I bought myself Ouran as a birthday gift! Haven't read it yet but will be starting later today. YAY!
New KKM reveals lots of exciting info and is further fodder for Shinou/Sage fans. Love Shinou. Reminds me of Tamaki from Ouran. Don't know why since they are total opposites in character. Must be the blond thing and the showmanship. I felt bad for Shinou though he botched the sealing of Soushou. Wolfram's death did not have much emotional impact on me. Could be due to the long wait for the new ep to be subbed. But I think hasty story-telling had a lot to do with it too. Not much time was spent on nor tears shed for poor Wolf. At no time did I believe he was gonna remain dead, unlike my WTF reaction when Conrad's arm was cut off. I guess running out of episodes to complete the story could be a reason. Why didn't they continue? So many characters and their backstories to work with?? WHY?! This is a great anime which has only gotten better and better. If there were a manga I would definitely buy it.
Also, Shori is an ASS! It's official. He's been getting on my nerves ever since he came over to Shin Makoku. He's insensitive and obnoxious, having the cheek to express his disappointment in Conrad and gang's ability to protect Yuuri, his brother, when they could not even protect their own brother, when said brother (Wolfram) is lying on the bed, very recently deceased. No consideration for their grief at all? HELLO? How's that for self-centered? He strut around blaming others instead of his own brother who was supposed to seal the boxes, in front of their mother, former Maou? *shakes fists* (I agree with Yuuri that he probably should have completed the sealing. He was distracted but if I remember correctly, he was not the one being attacked. Conrad was fending of Wolf so he should have concentrated on his job.) His role might have been protective brother but that's a shallow reason now that he's supposedly regretful and had learnt from his misuse of his power previously. Shori is just too flat a character so far. No character development at all. I hope he says something useful and soon. Not many episodes left for his stupidity.
