The Illustrated Chronicles of Bookshelf Abuse Vol.03

Technically speaking, I shouldn't bother cataloguing this particular Amazon Japan shipment because the majority of it wasn't mine. In fact, about 80% of it was sutsume's POT =P

I only ended up getting two things...

But since I did add stuff to my bookshelf...

( Cut for surprisingly reasonable (but long) fangirlism ^_^ )

EDGE EDGE EEEEEEEDGE.

I need to buy all the books when I can afford them/get back home/sell my soul. T^T And learn enough Japanese to read. And I notice the shipment of pot has arrived for your friend... 8D

You should definitely get your hands on it!! The main thing I love about the Edge (other than the pretty artwork -- I want an artbook!! *L*) is that it throws into sharp relief the stuff that we've always known, but that Athrun may not know. As an audience, we've always been a bit too omnipresent to be able to judge individual character's actions/motivations properly ( ... )

Yessss I wanted the Edge so that at least I could see some canon material with actual narrative introspection (clipshows and stuff aside from the series) from Athrun's perspective. And yeah, it's hard to understand some character's actions sometimes when you're too busy watching everything to look through one set of eyes at a time.

That reminds me... Athrun would also have not understood why Shinn hesitated with Destroy, wouldn't he? D: There might be some kind of irony there, since I... don't remember Shinn knowing that Freedom's pilot was Athrun's best friend? And part of why Shinn may have looked down on Athrun for hesitating with him. (Correct me if I'm wrong. XD)

Translation plssssss. DDDDD: God, Athrun, why must you take so long to get over things like emo conundrums and physical injuries...

BENCH AHEM. <3333

It's too late, I KNOW YOUR SIDE JOB. *finger waggle*

No, Athrun didn't understand why Shinn hesitated in front of Destroy (The Edge vol.4 shows this). From his point of view, Kira actually saved Shinn's life *L* But whether Shinn knows that Freedom's pilot is Athrun's best friend is up for debate. Depending on how much of a cover up the PLANT Supreme Council conjured up for Athrun, the new recruits may not even really understand that Freedom and Justice fought on the same side ^^;;;

But going by what the series alone shows us, Shinn would only be able to make the connection between Athrun and Freedom's pilot through Orb. The "Athrun used to live at Orb. Freedom is Orb's mobile suit. Therefore, Athrun must/should know Freedom's pilot." At least, according to what I remember XD

Translations huh? *L* I'll do you one better.

And yes... bench... ^^;;; given that all the ideas I've come up with, I've disgarded for being meaningless... would you settle for Remnant3 with bench? *LOL*
