brisco county jr and saiyuki love

[meganbmoore]

My "Brisco County Jr." DVDs finally came this week, and I just finished the pilot.  Happily, it lives up to my memories.

Also, I just binged on the "Saiyuki: Reload" anime(as in, the entire series between Sunday and yesterday)  and the first 4 volumes of the "Saiyuki: Reload" manga.  I feel the need to babble.  As there shall be Kougaiji love and

Ooooh, another Saiyuki lover (I went crazy for it a while back, picspam-wise and babbling wise). And so agree on Kou. He is by far the nicest, best person out of all the characters on the show and yet he is the antagonist. Hakkai has to be my favorite characte (the sheer angst and dysfunction win me over every time) but Kou comes a close second. Plus, his home life seems to be hellish and I loathe loathe the stepmomster. Ugh. If I had to work under a leader, I'd rather work for Kou than Sanzo any day.

Heh. Hakkai scares me a bit, actually. I seriously think that what he wants to do is kill every demon is existance and then himself, he's just so obsessed w/ Kanon that he's conditioned himself to always act the way she knew him without realizing it.

And of course you'd rather work for Kou...he's nicer and probably has a health plan. And the stepmother....eeeeeeevvvvviiiiilllll. She even uses her own daughter(not that Kou puts up with THAT for long...nor do Yaone or Dokugakuji)

I guess I can sympathize with Hakkai. What happens to Konon is so horrible, I cannot even imagine how he felt but I could see why he'd act the way he did. That whole story is just unbearably sad.

And yes, it's amazing that with at least half Gymaoh genes, Kou is so wonderful.

Yeah, I can sympathize with him pretty easily. That whole story has to be the most tragic of the series(though dokugakuji/gojyo/doku's mom has to be the most messed up) But that doesn't stop him from being scary(and the most nuts guy in the series)

Kou's mom must have been a saint, it's the only explanation. But then, Lirin is turning out fairly OK, too. But then, I think Kou, Yaone, and Dokugakuji had more to do wwith raising her than anyone else. And I think she tries to immitate Kou and Yaone. Hopefully, if Kou's mom wakes up, she'll be nice to Lirin.
