Anime Spring Season 08 - week 3 - such a fangirl...

[haraamis]

Are you tired of this yet? :P


Spoiler free. ^_^

The yay!

• I'm still totally in love with Vampire Knight. Words cannot express just how much. ♥! Kaname! Zero! Yuuki! ^___^ And all the other vampire boys!

• We have a new runner up, though. Amatsuki *_* ... the characters slay me. And my inner yaoi-fangirl is in an insanely happy place. *grins* Toki and Kon. They are so going to be more than friends. Come on. The way they look at each other. And care about each other. ♥
  And and and! Bonten finally made an appearance. Nnnng. Fangirl's happy place, indeed. *__* mmm... hair...

• Special A ^____^ Um... I'm not sure if I'm supposed to love this as much as I do. But, god, do I ever. XD ♥♥

• Bus Gamer.... T_T it's really really REALLY not fair that this was the end of it already. Just when it started to get interesting. Also, Toki and Nakajou.... *_* Can I have fic now, please?

• Nabari no Ou Holy shit. I didn't think it was going to be that violent. Ouch. I'm still very much intrigued, though, and totally in love with Miharu. ♥

• Toshokan Sensou - Would someone please sub this? ;_; I really like it, but the Japanese is quite difficult and I just don't have the time to sit and translate. I absolutely adore the character interaction in this one, though. ♥

• Monochrome Factor - Hee. I still like this. I like it very much. ♥

• I'm also still full of yay! for Bleach and Naruto. ♥

the ...ok.

• Crystal Blaze This one....I feel quite strange about. On the one hand, I'm intrigued. And on the other hand, I'm bored. Not sure why.

• Nijuu Musou no Musume It looks interesting enough, but I don't have any urge to squee about it yet. I'm quite sure I'd like it much better if there weren't so many other ones I love in this spring season. ^^;

• I'd really like to give Macross Frontier another chance, since I generally like mecha-anime, and I've read a lot of good things about that show so far. I'm just not sure where to squeeze it in anymore. >.<. I need more hours in the day.

• I haven't gotten around to catching up on Kyou Kara Maou yet. *hangs fangirl head in shame* ... I'll get there eventually. ^^;

...and the not so yay.

• Neo Angelique *sigh*. So pretty. But the second episode, maybe except for one scene, just had me yawn....;_; I'm keeping an eye on it, but it's gone way down on my priority list.

So, anything I'm missing? Anything you think I just need to watch? 'Cause my list isn't long enough yet....*cough*

***

Also, I've done something rather stupid. *sigh* I started to play Final Fantasy XII..... Now, I knew why I didn't start until now. Because I know how quickly I get hooked on these games. >.<. I'm about 6 hours in (not counting the hours I spend dying over and over because I was too proud to look at the walk through and thought I had to go somewhere where I didn't need to go. -.-") and already addicted. The blame goes ALL to kedriaa. Hah! There. :P *smooch*

I so don't have time for this, though. *headdesk*

Two of my favorites so far are Blassreiter and Kurenai. I'm not sure how much of Blassreiter will be available, because it's one of Gonzo's shows. Real Driver looks pretty good, too.

My current anime watching list looks like this:

Amatsuki
Blassreiter
Bleach
Bus Gamer
Code Geass 2
Crystal Blaze
D.Gray-man
Daughter of Twenty Faces
Gigantic Formula
Ghost Hound
Hero Tales
Himitsu - Top Secret
Kurenia
Kyou Kara Maou 3
Macross Frontier
Monochrome Factor
Nabari no Ou
Naruto Shippuuden
Ookiku Furikabutte
Real Drive
Shion no Ou
Shounen Onmyouji
Soul Eater
Special A
Strait Jacket
Vampire Knight
Wagaya no Oinari-sama

Obviously, it includes some shows that still aren't finished...

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

wow...just...wow.... XD

Actually, I didn't include all those from the last few seasons... I have a few openings from those, too.

Plus there's still a couple of series (read: a lot) that I have but haven't finished watching yet.

There's just too much at the moment. *flail*

Oh, FFXII will eat you alive! I've got well over 200 hours logged into that game, and I still don't consider myself completely done. If you ever want to know how to get something, I'm pretty much a walking strat. guide for FFXII! I haven't found anyone yet who has topped my weapons and armor inventory! *preens* :)

*Mentally bumps Amatsuki up the list to watch*

I don't usually go for school romance comedies, but I'm really enjoying Special A, too! It's just too adorable in it's slightly crack-ish way. Nabari no Ou is up on my new favorites list, too--the way that kid acts vunerable to get his way is just priceless!! I'm still in the middle of Code Geass (season 1), but I'm looking forward to season 2 being subbed now, now, now!

On another note, I watched the first episode of Crystal Blaze...and got the funny feeling I was watching an AU version of Outlaw Star, or something to that effect. It wasn't very impressive. I may continue to dl it, just in case (I'll pass it on to my guinea pig brother and wait to see if he think's it's good!)

I really like Amatsuki and Real Driver. Those look to be the high points so far. I like monochrome factor and would probably love it if Aya wasn't in it. She is annoying as hell! It amuses me that so far it seems like it should be subtitled 'what the sohmas did after the curse ended'.

Crystal Blaze is intriguing but plagued by the screeching girl syndrome and is going to drive me out of my skull this season. I like Bus Gamer but it was too short and felt kind of like okay....and?

Toshokan Sensou, Nijuu Musou no Musume, are on my list to check out if it does get subbed. Waiting on Aarinfantasy for Junjou Romantica and for someone to release Hitsumi in .avi format.

All and all there's been more than I would have thought considering the first five we watched were unanimous thumbs down.

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

Now I'm curious. Which ones were the thumbs down ones?

Oh, and did you see? Nijuu Mensou no Musume and Toshokan Sensou got subbed! ^_^

And I totally forgot about Junjou Romantica. I've been watching the raws of that, too. Not quite sure what to think yet. It's definitely eye candy, and I do like it a lot. But I'm not as hooked as on the ones listed above. The urge absolutely having to see the next episode is missing a bit. ^^;

I feel the same about Bus Gamer...*sigh*

[lil-1337.livejournal.com]

I saw that Toshokan Sensou had gotten subbed, but not Nijuu Mensou no Musume. I've got TS downloaded to watch along with Junjou Romantica.

Crystal Blaze is hanging by a thread right now. It seems like a cross over rip off of Cowboy Bebop and Rental Magica, both of which did it so much better. Add in the screeching and my willingness to keep watching is quickly fading.

Thumbs down are strangely enough on a few of the series that seem to be really big this season. Vampire Knight, Special A, Soul Eater, The Tower of Druaga, and Kyoran Kazoku Nikki

VAmpire knight = ♥

I am also TOTALLY in love with Nabari no Ou! Miharu ♥

ANd i so have to watch Amatsuki *tries to download it somewhere* (oh i see in the comment that sharon has it* lalala all is good.

Monochrome factor = yay lol for shonen ai-ish animes that overall reminds me of ...bleach??? O.o

the one i didn't get into was special a. maybe i should give it a try again? i didn'Ät even get through episode 1.
okay gotta go back to work.

♥

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

Sieht aus als wären wir auf einer Wellenlänge hier. *grins* ♥!

Special A... ist eben speziell. Und wie oben gesagt, keine Ahnung was es ist, das mich da so reinzieht. XD

♥ *smooch* ♥

You plainly ignore me when I tell you to play something (as I've done quite a few times...). Even if it is something less time-consuming as freaking FF12 yet not at all worse when it comes to story and gameplay. Why do I even try?!? *pouts*

Well, it reminds me of the growing 'want to replay' list of my games. I miss my collectiong and the distraction they offer... *sighs*

[nereidaia.livejournal.com]

We can both talk about it all we like, she's still resisting...

Ohh, "want to replay"... don't even get me started on this.
That applies to basically all my games, especially the FF games.
And I'm on my second (or third?) run through FF XII right now, each with easily 200+ hours...

[belina.livejournal.com]

She's not a gamer, after all. XD

Dunno, I don't feel the urge to replay any FF except for FF7. That game has my undying love. No matter how nice the graphics in the new FFs look - it's not ALL about graphics. *rolls eyes*
I wish Squenix would figure that out at some point... *sighs*

At the moment I would love to play something like 'Shadow of Memories' or 'Ico' or 'Shadow of the Colossus'. Something peacefull and fun.
If I see the Japanese version of any of those games in a Book Off for a reasonable price I might buy it. I think I've seen 'Wanda to Kyouzou' (Shadow of the Colossus) a few times, but the others might be too old...

I should NOT spend that much money on fun-stuff, though. Faaaaar too expensive. ^_~"

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

^^;; I never said I was!

I think you should, too. ♥ Because it seems to make you happy. *snug*

[gunnm-angel.livejournal.com]

Do you have an XBox 360? If you have one or have access, Lost Odyssey is a great game!

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

*flails*

I DON'T HAVE TIME! ACK!

^^;;;;;;,

[haraamis.livejournal.com]

But..but.... :P

Actually, we both know that I've wanted to play FFXII for a really looooong time. I mean, come on, I even bought a Japanese PS2 because of it. I just needed a push in the right direction. And what is better than have someone fangirl at you and WAVE FABULOUSLY WRITTEN FIC IN YOUR DIRECTION?! XD

So, I caved. ^^;

But, I'm looking forward to watching you play again. I just love watching. ♥!

*snugsnug*
