[beckerbell]

laurus_nobilis reminded me of today's fannish5, because I'd been forgetting to check them. Oh, well, I'll do the two latest ones, the current one is especially awesome! NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

Name your five favorite evil characters.

I admit, I don't know Ryo that well, it's just that it's seemed like he's always been kind of the snappy kind whenever I see clips of him or whatever. But, I suppose, that's like people always passing around the clips of Ohno where he has a wicked sense of humor--part of who he is, but not his usual attitude.

Jun does the best I AM PUTTING ON MY RINGS AND YOU SHOULD START RUNNING NOW faces ever. Ever. Aiba's totally going to have to check his head for blood again. :|b

[beckerbell]

Also, I suspect Ryo is similar to Jun in some ways--sure, they can be beautifully bitchy, but they know the time and place for it, they also know that being bitchy at their sempai is really rude and disrespectful. (Not that I know Ryo that well, but Jun's bitchiness is usually at his bandmates or for humor's sake.)

Aiba trying to take Sho down with him, then later foist the blame off onto Haruna-san, was beautiful. Not that any of it worked, Aiba's got some sort of mysterious power that allows him to survive these things (it's called "Matsumoto has the world's biggest crush on you, so he probably won't actually kill you" :Db), but still. Poor dear. I'll kiss it and make it better if he wants? :*

Tuti doesn't get to do much, IIRC, but the episode is worth downloading for the whole cast, it's really excellent. I CAN POINT YOU TO WHERE TO FIND IT~~

And HA FOOLED YOU I actually just started the first episode, like, ten minutes ago, so I am totally watching it. :Db

[beckerbell]

If you need the subbed version, just let me know~. I am totally helpful and withou ulterior motives, la la la~

I think I'm going to like Joker, just for the cast if nothing else! But also because it seems like I might actually be able to take the story seriously?? A marvel from Japan! :D

[beckerbell]

I really want to watch the one where Nino wears the suit (with the NatsuNiji cast, right?) but I've yet to find a good copy of it to watch. ):

....STOP ENCOURAGING ME WITH ALL THESE SHOWS! STOP BEING AWESOME WITH YOUR ENTHUSIASM! I am frightfully behind with Arashi, so I've been trying to slowly work my way back in and not give myself so much pressure with all that I should be watching! ..........but I would totally take recs for particular Himitsu episodes for when I wander over that way. >_>

Because, oh, man, Nagase. I still love him ridiculously.

[beckerbell]

Why can't fandom instantly sub everything in 720p for me? It would really make my fannish life a lot easier. :< I would totally watch the Nino one then! :<

I've been debating whether or not to watch anything this drama season, because shows seem awesome, but... idk, it seems like a lot of effort? I've started JOKER, which I really love, but I guess the subber decided to stop subbing possibly permanently? a;sldkfjalkjs I'm not used to this whole dramas-not-being-subbed thing! (Which one was the KudoKan one again?)

late to the party. |D

Favorite villains: YES! (Except 4 since I've never read it). Xellos is such a badass. xD Seriously I will never forget him killing a whole hoard of dragons with one finger.

Oh OTP. Thanks for being awesome. :D And Nino&Jun!Snark is always awesome! xDD

You can never be too late for my parties. :|b

[beckerbell]

That is my absolute favorite moment for Xellos, too! It's not just that he's incredibly dangerous to be able to do that, but that it doesn't bother him even a little bit. He may not have been a villain in the sense that he was at their throats all the time, but he wasn't a good person, not even a little.

I love their snark so much. *___* Especially when they fall into it so casually together and then are so devastating! They are one of my favorite duos. *__* ....n-not that I don't love pretty much all Arashi combinations, mind.

fannish5: I LOVE SEISHIROU. Oh my god I love him and it is probably not healthy for me to do so. He's just so intense. He's pure in a way that villains rarely are, and I just really admire CLAMP for going so far with him, every step of the way.

I have mixed feelings about Sephiroth, because I LOVE HIM LIKE FUCK. All that power and terrible past and pure potential, you said it all. But I also think he's rather overrated in his villany in-game (and that Jenova got totally gypped, given how critical a role she played in the entire thing to begin with), but then that might just be from our different fannish tendencies, so. Mind, HE IS STILL CHARISMATIC AND DANGEROUS AND KIND OF INSANE AND SMOKING HOT AND ETC.

*sigh* It's good to know I still love him so.

I also love Orihime! Initially I was all, "ugh, chick character, REJECT" but then she stood up for herself! At least until the Hueco Mundo Lust arc happened! Her imagination is all-powerful, and I love how she has one of the most powerful abilities ever, and it is based on her

[beckerbell]

fannish5: Yes! What you said! Seishirou is such an interesting character because they made him complex without ever sacrificing what he was--a bad person. Was he capable of love? What exactly was his relationship with/feelings for Subaru? What was his purpose in life? There's potential for gray there, but none of it was ever built on Seishirou feeling badly about what he was or questioning that about himself. Because he didn't, not even a little
