My Fandom Meme Answers
Because it takes forever long to fill out one of those memes, I decided to archive my responses in my own journal too, just in case anyone is curious, or for me to look back on later.
>>Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (2/26/08)<<
Favorite:
Character: Now-Kurogane, Before-Fay, Always-Mokona!
Pairing: Mokona/Sake! I really can't choose, I love them all, canon or otherwise.
Attack: R!Syao's Raitei Shorai (followed by Fay's anything: darts, arrows, magic...he just executes everything with such grace)
Line/Exchange: 1) 'Are you so afraid to trust?' (the whole tension-filled exchange after Fay wakes in Acid!Tokyo, and 2) the exchange between Kurogane and R!Syao (and Mokona) in Infinity when they share a drink.
Fight Scene: Syao vs. Syao in Acid!Tokyo
Romance Scene: Outo! (Sakura and Syaoran cuteness, Fay's wistful thinking in the bar)
General Scene: Um...
'Oh Snap!!' moment: 1) Our Syaoran is a clone 2) Fay stabs Sakura and 3) splash page for 136 (OMG it's not just a splash, they're really in goth clothes iloveyouCLAMP!
Chapter: 120. Poor Fai's expression when he was trying to save C!Syao was heart-wrenching and the wide reveal of bloody Fay dragged around by C!Shao was so powerful.
TV episode: 1) Outo, where Kuro/Fay's fight w/onis was juxtaposed with Uruhara's song, 2) Kurogane's back-story, and 3) the chibi one!
Chapter Spread/Cover: 167 - the one with the two Syaoran's holding swords surrounded by feathers (reminded me of X)
Outfit: Kuro and Fay's Yama outfit (followed by Kuro and Sakura's Infinity outfits, Fay's Tokyo turtleneck outfit, )
What originally drew you to this manga? I checked out the anime because I heard Syaoran and Sakura from CCS were in it, kept watching because of the sound track (really!). I started reading the manga after I saw a spoiler picture of the epic Syaoran v. Syaoran kick and read something about a vampire online.
What do you think separates TRC from other manga? The mother of all cross-overs and beautiful art.
Which other manga does TRC remind you of? ... I was thinking the other day that the animated Xanxus from Reborn! looked like Kurogane!
Are there any things you wish CLAMP had done better? Pacing in some places, and lately, there have been too many twists...clone Sakura felt like a cop-out
If you could change anything, what would it be?: I wish we saw adult!R!Fay :)
Which CLAMP character not shown in TRC do you wish would make an appearance? Erm...Doumeki and the Legal Drug boys? Maybe Hokuto.
Which character(s) did you change your opinion about? How did your opinion change? Kurogane. He really developed as a character (or maybe we just got to know him better) and he went from a simplistic brute to being the pillar of strength for the group when they needed it most. And...erm...C!Syaoran for obvious reasons.
Which character would you want to party with? Fay, Yuuko, and the Mokonas
Which part made you cry? I didn't actually cry, but I was really touched 1) When Fay hugged injured!Sakura in Acid!Tokyo. 2) When Fay was being closed up in the curse in Celes and I thought he was saying goodbye for real (Then Kurogane's arm fell off and I was just mad).
How do you want it to end? I'm actually hoping for something bittersweet. Partings, but everyone at peace. And the answers to my questions are not lame or implausible, please (like what's Syaoran's relationship with Watanuki already!?)
Animated? Yes please!
>>Katekyo Hitman Reborn! (2/26/08)<<
Favorite REBORN Character: How can I choose? Dino, Reborn, cool!Tsuna and Gokudera top the list. Second-tier favorites include Hibari, Colonnello and 20YL!Lambo.
Favorite REBORN Pairing: Not really pairings, but I like the friendships/platonic-/sibling-relationships (or developing relationships) between Reborn and Yamamoto, Reborn and Tsuna, Hibari and Hibird (heh), Gokudera and Yamamoto, Gokudera and Tsuna, Ryohei and Kyouko, Gokudera and Bianchi
