MUAHA!
Well, I have the internet in my bedroom once more, so you may or may not see more of me over this summer. *shrug*
I'm not doing marching band (I have serious commitment issues, which is funny because usually it's the men who have the committment issues. :)) for a myriad of reasons. One: it sucks. Two: my Ra-be-damned (new Bakura-inspired curse. be afraid) allergies have returned with a vengeance. Three: I'm a lazy arse, and not even the prospect of seeing two of my friends helps me be motivated to do any physical activity. Four: my Thursdays are better spent playing Yu-Gi-Oh/Requiem. And Five: Tou-chan bought football tickets. :)
Anyway, the reason I mentioned above was because that way all of you can yell at me for not posting since I have all of this newfound free time! =D
Of course, I've been uber writing girl lately. And my love/hate relationship with Gaia is back, as opposed to my dislike/hate relationship with Fanfiction.net (see both rant posts). Also, I have a gift certificate for free tai-kwon-do lessons (uniform included! =D), so I'm cashing that in this summer. Other than that, I'm just going to do otaku things, maybe get a job, be dragged to church every Sunday (ack!), the normal dependent minor stuff. >>; And my new obsession with the game Pharaoh (DANCING HIPPOS!! xD).
Anyway, I so have a rant that needs to go behind a cut (this post is gonna be long enough anyway), but I don't know how to do cuts! T-T
*sigh* All of my favorite shows are ending or have ended. Yu Yu Hakusho aired its last episode back in...gods, would you say it was April? And Yu-Gi-Oh either aired its last yesterday (the 10th) or will next week. Either way, I missed/will miss the final episodes of both. (this bit censored for much hopping about the bedroom and bilingual swearing accompanied by bedframe abuse and my grandma yelling up the stairs to settle down, damnit, before the men in white coats come...again.)
Another favorite, but not as rabidly as the above two, is Full Metal Alchemist, which also drew to a close this year. And the good episodes of Pokemon ended gods knows how long ago.
Of course, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh have their bastardized spawn, the YY-chromosomal offspring of 4kids (the assholes). What the hell. Neither GX nor whatever the heck the ten-thousandth season of Pokemon is called have any of the original characters in it. Silly me, I was under the impression that it's frowned upon to take a touted name like Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh, give it a whole new set of characters, and try to pass it off as the original. (After season 2, I had this same rant about Digimon. However by now I've primarily given up on that simply because I no longer care.) Alright, okay, part of me understood giving us a break from Brock and Misty. But it's not Pokemon if you take Ash and Pikachu out! It's - it's - it's watching someone play a video game with dialogue! It's like sitting and watching someone play Kingdom Hearts once a week for half an hour intervals!
And what the hell? How many different Pokemon are there now? One and a half billion (and one, counting Mew)? Dude, really, just let the series die the dignified death it deserves. Nucking futs. These new seasons are giving Pokemon a bad name, and making the big-eyed six-year-olds of today look at those of us who grew up with the original 150 pokemon and say 'what the hell is wrong with you? You like that lameo show?' Yes, I did, back when it was good! Back when it was actually possible to memorize all of the names. Of course the second set of 100 was okay. Like I recieved the second set of Digimon, I said 'Aww, they're so cute!' and proceeded to glomp the cute ones and buy the games. However, by set 3 I realized they'd gone too far. Pokedexing was nearly impossible - it's hard enough to keep 350 pokemon straight, let alone remember which ones you've captured!
AND YU-GI-OH IS JUST AS BAD!! I mean, I know that everyone has their own deck, Seto has his Blue-Eyes fetish obsession lust time-spanning need for hot dragon sex deck, Yugi has his bitch magician, Anzu has her fairies, Bakura/Ryou has his...occult thingamabobish, Haga has his bugs, Ryuzaki has his dinos, horseface Pegasus has his toons, I get it. But half of the TCG cards never get used on the show. And half of the cards used on the show aren't in the TCG! This means that 1/4 of all of the cards seen in the TCG or on the show are in both.
...why? It's similar to how we never see half of the four thousand and one pokemon on the show: there's too freaking many! We never even got to see Porygon on Pokemon because that episode gave Japanese kids seizures (nor did we get to see James crossdress in a swimsuit competition...). And 4Kids (assholes) is doing exactly the same thing. We'll make a sequel, which means more merchandise and more tools pawns characters that will never even appear on the show!
...4Kids (assholes) makes my soul die a little.
I am so glad that no one thought to make a sequel to Yu Yu Hakusho. Oh gods, that would be the official moment that I became suicidal.
Holy assmonkeys, this post is getting long. Until next time, adieu, adieu, smell ya in Effingham.
