Oooooookay. Seems like LJ is working again. *crosses things*

First of all, sorry for the huge text last post, got a tad overexcited. Then...

Yeah, you'd be referring to Shizu Onuma; her and Yohei have been Agito's caretakers since he was little. I love his little motive rant in episode 12, don't you? I mean, you know the guy's had to have gone through something to make him like that, but you don't really know how much of it right up until then.

What'd you think of the Zoalords? Or the scientists who were trying to fight Chronos?

Oh, thanks. I'd heard her name a lot of times, but I'm really terrible with names, makes my future job as a regular teacher - am doing sort of remedial classes now and there aren't many pupils - full of the Terror of Misnaming People, my personal ogre.

Yeh, about Agito's past, but the very good thing about the series is that you don't really need to know exactly what gave him his bastardiness... er... his borderline personality, because it's implied in how he talks and acts, it's a very good use of subtext and I wish they had let go and used subtext that way a lot more. Not that it wasn't an utterly spiffy rant, as rants go, especially since it wasn't two hours long. Sometimes I wish people would shut up when they get the infodump and/or recap syndrome, it's DEAD BORING, besides astute readers/viewers have already got most of it

I think what our Agito yells is Shokuso, which I've heard translated as bio-boost. Besides, I thought you were more into Ryan/Agito or Agito/Ryan. ;)

And, to be honest I was more into the whole 'exploring the alien ship' thing. I have to ask, though, what'd you think of Aptom as portrayed by them as opposed to by me?

[flyingskull]

Shokuso, right, only the way he yells it is odd, it should sound 'shockso' but he makes it sound 'Shosho', prolly a cry of the heart. Ans, yeh, 'bioboost' sounds right, though slightly deranged.

Agito/Ryan with a healthy dollop of BDSM, yeh. :-D But Agito/Sho is lots more romantic and "I'll die before confessing your gentleness melts me into a sighing puddle" side of Agito, but that's just slash, y'know? It's all the fault of the Peckerhead Guyver Sho's got.

Exploring the alien ship thingy is the most interesting and fascinating thing, actually. I hope what I saw in one of the eps was the alien ship having the heaves at contacting Guyot. I tend to imagine alien ship-thingies as being a lot like Yumichika, if it aint' beautiful I don't want to see it, BLEURGH

Also, I don't think it was a matter of evolution not happening, so much as the the fact that it was directed by aliens for their own purposes.

Well, the way Murakami told it, Aliens came in and created the species in their search for the perfect warrior, which, lemme tell you BTW, all the 'oids' sure ain't. I bet Kenshin could off tons of 'em in seven seconds or less.

What? What? *she said, all defensive* You like super-armour and I love swords! :P:P:P

I've been meaning to ask you this for awhile: what do you think of Meeting Places, so far?
