Special A: rainbows and ponies!

[uisceros]

As much as I tried to resist the lure of manga, I couldn't. On Friday I went back to the bookstore and bought four more volumes, two more of Wild Ones, and two more of Special A.

Speaking of Special A, it's totally my new thing. phrenk alerted me to the presence of a Special A anime, and I was all over that. I ADORE this anime/manga. It's shoujo, but

looks good! going to start watching...
right now! havent seen an anime in over amonth, last one i saw was peach girl

[ambergold]

omg exact same thought process!! of course I saw peach girl some months ago:) but it was still the last anime I saw and when I saw this I was like, hmm, gonna go watch now.

Yay! Watch it, it's sooooo cute!

I watch anime on and off. I prefer dramas, so those usually take up my time, but I actually started with anime years and years ago.

I started watching Peach Girl (and will probably finish, eventually) but some of the character's voices really bothered me...

[ambergold]

so I started Marmalade Boy but I'm quite concerned because your post and mv totally sold me on Kei-kun but from the first bit and googling it it looks like Yuu is her OTP? and frankly he bores me from the first second. NOOOOO!!

I love Peach Girl, but voices are always hard with anime...the last few episodes of it were pretty lame, to be honest, but I LOVED the first three-fourths or so.

[uisceros]

Yes, Miki / Yuu IS OTP. Kei-kun is in the Rui role here...
I adore Yuu, he's all angsty and reserved (which I like), but yeah, the drama revolves around him and Miki's relationship. It's a great anime though, despite being ungodly long.

I'm very sound oriented, so if a voice bothers me, I have issues watching the whole thing. I'll finish it eventually though!

[ambergold]

hmm, okay.

Is Special A dubbed or subbed? where are you watching it? you've SO got me in the anime mood now...

[uisceros]

I found it subbed, I don't know if it's dubbed, since I don't think it's been licensed for the US. I downloaded it from... somewhere (I'm on my work computer right now, so I don't have the link). I'm sure it's on youtube subbed somewhere.

I'm in an anime mood right now too! It happens ever few months or so...

I just finished it in 2 days, and if it wasnt for work probably one haha. loved it so much! all the characters are wonderful and so much fun to watch. i loved how it wasnt your typical love arch of a 3 triangle.
