Fannish Introspection

Jan 31, 2006 12:04

I am a bad bad fan. I am the kind of fan who the creators probably like just a bit more than the fans who write scented letters with "if you don't get together my OTP, I will sic my rabid cat on you" written in blood ( Read more... )

Re: VM, I wish I could be that way. I'm a loyalist. It really has to suck before I give up. I get emotionally attached to things that I'm fannish about.

I will be sorry to see you quit the show for selfish reasons, because I'll miss seeing your posts on it. I always enjoy your thoughts, even when I don't comment.

Well, I am not quitting yet. :P If I like this following ep I am back in. It doesn't have to be another ATttD to pull me back in. Just something I like rather than groan as I did with OAV and DR.

Well, I hope tomorrow night's is good, so you'll stick around. :) Plus, we're overdue for a good one.

Oh, god, that looks like the HYD movie. Which is completely not the same thing as the series. You did get the series, though, right?

dangermousie January 31 2006, 17:31:06 UTC

Oh, I got the series, all 51 eps (which I will get to when I finish Trigun). But the covers on the DVDs for some weird reason, are from the movie. I am just happy that these DVDs, while they are all in Japanese, are numbered in English, so I won't have to do the Rurouni Kenshin thing and try to figure out the order going by guesswork. :P

Yeah, that would be Rem and the freaky dreams are justified. I like Milly and Meryl simply because they're two females who can hold their own in the anime world. I also love the growing relationship between them and Vash where at the end you realize they really all love each other and are close friends. Like I said, the series gets more serious as it goes, but by then you're already invested in the characters and you bleed along with them. I teared up in "Diablo" and "Vash the Stampede" and I bawled in "Paradise".

All I know is that if Vash dies at the end a la Spike from Bebop I will kill somebody.

You're not a bad fan...you're a more stable fan, honestly. I wish to GOD I could just pack it all in and forget about shows that disappoint me. But once a show has me in its sweaty clutches (ie. Roswell, VM) there's no escaping until the bitter end. Keyword being bitter, lol.

dangermousie January 31 2006, 18:00:59 UTC

Keyword being bitter, lol.

Heee. With Roswell I am so glad I discovered it on DVD as I would just forward past all the stuff I didn't care about and get on to the good eps and parts. If I had to watch S3 in Real Time I would have fallen asleep because Isabel always bored me and I certainly would have been breaking out about Max/Liz all of S2 but since I had the ff button and knew how it all ended, I ended up really enjoying it.

I just found out recently that two close friends of mine are big Veronica Mars/Serenity fans. I had no clue!!! Lol. And the first thing I thought of was you! :)

dangermousie January 31 2006, 18:58:31 UTC

Eeeee! Glad to know my obsessiveness is so well known :P
