code_geass is rewatching the series, one episode per week. I'm stupidly excited about this. Yeah yeah I'm sure we all remember my obsession. But really, I just enjoy the chance to pay attention to things I missed the first time around and apply them to future episodes. Plus, it's like an ongoing canon review ( Read more... )

Shipping has really irritated me lately. I mostly blame the youngness of the VK fandom, but I've been encountering it in other forms too. I have no problem with loving a ship to pieces and defending it to the death, but the WHINING when the ship isn't happening and letting that fact either destroy the rest of the story for the shipper or make said ( Read more... )

Wow this is some epic hate for The Last Airbender. I feel a bit weird that these people are fans enough to cosplay, implying that they know enough about fan culture to know the whole racebending issue. And they still went. Oh well, at least they're saying the movie sucks ball ( Read more... )

I have to say, mostly because I have a lot of manga favorites that I would KILL for decent anime versions of, that this is a fair point. But it's also not the first time Japan has done it, and it certainly ( Read more... )

Wow, let's not even talk about the latest Newtype images for Geass. Just no ( Read more... )

I was going to do the Unpopular Opinions meme, but I decided I'm probably too much a bitch for that sort of thing and will end up pissing people off.

So I will just leave this gem of human intelligence: Federal officials are hoping James Cameron can help them come up with ideas on how to stop the disaster. Yes, they are talking about the oil spill ( Read more... )

Ok, I has an opinion ( Read more... )

So, yeah, I know I shouldn't have said anything, especially not at 3 in the morning. But I dislike being told that people aren't allowed to express their disagreement toward their series. Hino EXPECTS people to fight over her triangle; it's a gimmick. It's why creators invent the triangles. They like to people on their toes guessing who will end up ( Read more... )
