The thing that's interesting with Ban and Himeko is that for as emotionally distant and detached as he is, Ban really puts himself out there emotionally for Himeko. She's a tough girl, but the show constantly puts Ban as her knight/protector and he's vulnerable when she's involved (much later on one of the bad guys keeps Ban from fighting him by informing him that Himeko was in trouble and Ban stops mid strike and gets this furious look and goes after her). If Shido is whipped by Madoka, Ban is also pretty predictable when it comes to Himeko. Now whether you interprut that as brotherly or not is up to you, but I think it's more than that, definitely on Himeko's part later on and I do think Ban sees her differently. Because of their past, it's obviously going to take some time for them to ever function normally around each other

It's interesting to me that Ban is the brains of the operation. True, he engaged in getbacking before he met up with Ginji, with Himeko and her older brother, but still, Ginji is the former gang leader, and you'd think he'd be the one who'd be more street smart, as opposed to being this chirpy idealist.

And I also get not just a brotherly vibe from Himeko/Ban (though the protector bit actually is another kink of mine). Husband's comment? "I don't think they'll get together for sure. But six bets out of seven" rather sums up my attitude too. Of course, they could have this tention and it never goes anywhere (there is certainly enough FUBARness there) but potential is there...

Also, what on earth is 'kindred.' Akabane mentioned it as something about Ban.

[crumpeteer]

Ban is apparently a warlock of somekind (which is why he can use the jagen and the Snakebite). Because of that he's somehow cursed (he refers to himself as such several times). Now what that actually means about him I don't know, but Akabane seems to, which is why Akabane sees him as good for a blow out fight and is always trying to get him to fight seriously with him. The implication is that if Ban goes all out, he'll do something really nasty (we know he ripped someone's arm off at one point). He doesn't go full homicidal for Ginji and Himeko's sake. Akabane refers to Ban as a kindred spirit because Akabane isn't entirely human either and they both know that if Ban didn't have the friends he does, he'd be just like Akabane.

What an appropriate icon.

we know he ripped someone's arm off at one point

Whoa.

Akabane refers to Ban as a kindred spirit because Akabane isn't entirely human either and they both know that if Ban didn't have the friends he does, he'd be just like Akabane.

I can see that, but the difference is Ban cares. His snarking and his stand-offishness is because he doesn't want to get hurt. Which means he has feelings that can be hurt...

I've been counting hours till 9pm and the Veronica Mars ep. Can't wait to see Logan and Veronica interact and Aaron's trial is going to be terrific. Just to have Logan and Veronica's reactions to it? Gleeeeeee.
EEEEE! I'm dying to watch the new VM... but I'll have to wait until tomorrow! :/

Glorious picspam btw!

[dangermousie]

I am sort of planning my whole evening around watching VM. Which is quite pathetic...
