I've decided to be productive while waiting for RxJ and Darker than Black to finish. To this effect, I've picked up the new Eyeshield, Bleach, Hikaru no Go and the starter volumes for Let Dai and Reborn.
I was also checking out the comparison site for Geass TV and the Geass DVD. They are sure fond of retconning but in a good way. I was floored by the detail they went and added to each of the shots where the animation got wonky or someone wasn't dressed right or their bandages weren't consistent with what had happened to them. They also went back and replaced some of the details that got lost in the original version. Gasp this means they might actually fix 19 so that Euphie doesn't look retarded in half the shots and so that Lelouch doesn't look like a cracked-out alien when he smiles. Must buy Japanese DVDs now.
I might take on this topic later but when I was perusing through the 50 question interview for both boys again, because
crazythorn reminded me that Lelouch is a Tolkien fan and that's damn funny, I noticed their answers to a very interesting question: what does love mean to you?
Lelouch: Something you give without limitation.
Suzaku: It may be a thing you take away from people.
Aside from the obvious irony in their responses, I think it reveals much about the true nature of our young rivals. Again, a statement like that makes me doubt that Lelouch will be sincere in his aggressor role against Suzaku. I think friendship means more to him than most would like to believe. Whereas, Suzaku, ever the idealist, is more down-to-earth on this subject. I'll stop now before I go into essay mode and butcher my reading time. Where's Counterattack dammit?
GameFAQS Quote of the Day: Wow...I just realized the Kururugi's are named Genbu and Suzaku... >_> I wonder if there are two more out there...
