The preview for the next episode says that we're gonna find out about the "secret" of Saya's family..... we'll see... maybe we'll get some actual plot.

Your favorite seiyuu is the Touya look-alike that Saya has a crush on? Thanks for the blog link, there's a bigger pic of the drawing CLAMP did in PRODUCTION IG's wall XD

I'm very disappointed with BLOOD-C so far. GATE 7 is starting to get more interesting with the new pretty characters but I hope they introduce another manga series soon enough (new or old).

The Yukito look-alike seems to have a crush on Saya xD it's the typical love triangle portrayed in a very unoriginal and uninteresting way.

Is this really Ohkawa writing here? I'm starting to doubt that...

I gave up watching Blood-C after the very first episode. There are many much more interesting shows in this season (Ikoku Meiro, Uta no Prince-sama, even Mayo Chiki), so I'll see opinions on the internets to check if this thing improved, because for now it is very poor.
I can't agree with you about the twins - they're bizarre to me. I mean, even the twins that end each other sentences are a bit spooky, but those who talk same things the same time... They're creepy. Chiho and Chise were much, much more adorable.
Gate 7 poster is awesome. Truly awesome.

[chibiyuuto]

I see their creepiness too! But they are cute to me, maybe because I've seen a video of their seiyuu and she's adorable xD She also hosts the radio show.

You do the right thing on not watching this if there are more interesting shows out there. I will keep watching until the end because I just can't not watch it being a CLAMP work and everything, but I have to say that I am very disappointed.

Oh, I agree that their seiyuu is really nice, although I only knew her as Sakura from Street Fighter and that nun from Sora no Woto, and now my mind will be connecting her to this eerie choir of Blood-C's twins. On the other hand, I disliked Doumoto's voice in Kobato., but started to love him after some more shows (such as Arakawa or Angel Beats), so I won't be prejudiced against her.

Yeah, I know that you are reading and watching everything CLAMP makes and it is a thing I am counting on. I had many similar thoughts about Kobato. as you, so I am waiting for your opinion on Blood-C as a whole to check if I would like it. We could still have different tastes on some parts of it, but your judgment is something I rely on.

[chibiyuuto]

I promise I'll do my best!! =) Thank you for valuing my opinion =]

I too am disappointed with Blood-C and I'm hoping it'll get better soon or I'll drop it. I'm already thinking of picking up other series that look interesting like No.6 or Dantalia if Blood-C doesn't pick up the plot. I love CLAMP and though I never watched anything from the Blood franchise I loved the first illustrations that came out for this and was like "well, if it's CLAMP, why not?", but if it keeps like this... I can't bear another silly song about weather and weird desserts.

Besides. WTF with Yukito-lookalike and Touya-lookalike not being gay for each other Dx that silly love triangle is so cliché, I want to die.

The Gate 7 illustration is gorgeous, I love the contrast of colorful Hana against monochromatic Masamune. I'm really loving Gate 7, I love history and the Sengoku period, so this story is perfect for me. And I love the historical characters dressed in modern clothes. It's fantastic. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter.

[chibiyuuto]

My thoughts exactly about BLOOD-C. The promotional drawings CLAMP did for it looked very nice and dark, but the anime looks so silly o.O

I wish I could know more about the Sengoku period, I think I would enjoy more GATE 7 =/

[liaciferlawliet]

I probably wouldn't watch if it wasn't CLAMP labeled and if I hadn't seen those gorgeous promos, so I'm absolutely let down by these first two episodes. Enough with the songs, Ohkawa! And the pacing is terrible, the pointless conversations at school or Saya staring at the dog seem to drag on forever and the actual "stuff" lasts just a second. Who knows, let's see how this "Kisaragi family secret" goes and I'll think about whether it's worth watching or not.

I think I'm alone in liking this episode

The Songs

[sarasa_moku_ren]

also, I wasn't annoyed by the song in this episode like I was last episode. Mostly because this episode establishes it as a kind of daily ritual for her, and the ability to continuously make lyrics based on her mood and the things going on around her marks a certain amount a talent if nothing else.

She just might have picked up the habit from her mother or someone by being raised as a human.

Re: The Songs

[chibiyuuto]

I will keep watching it, hoping it gets better for me. Great thing that you are liking it! I wish I could like it as much as you do =)

But so far it hasn't caught my attention, if it weren't for CLAMP, I would have dropped it by episode 2.

[kairiucci]

Gate 7 illustration is awesome, I really like it *_____*

I haven't started watching Blood-c yet, but your comments are not encouraging @__@

[chibiyuuto]

I'm sorry >.< I am not trying to bash it or anything, I am being honest with my feelings about it @_@

I out of anyone else would really love to love it, it's hard for me to accept the fact that CLAMP failed to amuse me. When I do, that's because they really failed =/

[kairiucci]

Don't worry, I understood what you meant^^
I'll give it a try when I'll have time...
