Reactions to Fushigi Yugi Vol. 8
2003-03-11 20:28:01
Spoilers for the Fushigi Yugi manga ensue. You have been warned.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! FLYING FUCK, SUBOSHI!!!! I know you're pissed about Amiboshi getting killed, but WHY did you have to kill Tamahome's whole frikken family!! That was simply horrible and uncalled for... YOU CUT OFF LITTLE ZONG-RHONG'S LEG FOR GOD'S SAKE, AND LEFT THEM ALL WITH A BIG FUCKING HOLE IN THEIR CHEST!! ARE YOU FUCKING SICK!! And little Jie-Lian... God...
Seriuously, that was the most unexpected, violently disturbing scene I have yet seen. I never would have seen it coming, not from a mile away. Just like when I first saw Aeris die... it caught me totally by surprise and left me unable to move or speak for a minute as I scanned the page to make sure I was really seeing what I thought I was seeing.
My God... that was horrible... my God...
Anything that can elicit such a strong reaction is damn good, in my book.
Fushigi Yugi manga. Go get it. Now.

This is Otakudom!

I (finally) watched the This is Otakudom VCD that I ordered from the Distro center today. God, that was hilarious. Sample quote:
"I made this costume by hand, it cost me thousands of dollars, and it even really transforms, watch!
Ooow, oow, oow, OOW, my spine, MY SPINE!!"
From seeing so much Fushigi Yugi footage on it, I've decided that I like the drawing style of the manga better. The animation versions of the characters don't have that same quality about them (especially Nuriko. Hell, I didn't even recognize Nuriko at first, and he/she's one of my favorite characters!!), and while it was obviously an imitation of Watase's style from the manga, it really looked like just that: an imitation.
Course, I realize that I am being too picky. It's just... I suppose I've become so attached to Watase's manga versions of the characters, with her own unique style of drawing, that the animation translations of her style look strange to me.
I still want to see the series, though, don't get me wrong. Next time I get $300 free to spend, the Suzaku and Seiryu boxsets are MINE, bee-yotch!!
Yeessss...
On other news, I am still frikken tired from last night. But, I'll probably go to bed later. I'm gonna do some push-ups and some sit-ups, amybe some jogging (I feel sluggish), then get back into FF9. I've been spending so much time on the Chocobo sidequest,. that I haven't progressed with the plot at all yet. Tis time to get my ass to Ipsen's Castle.

I think my brain may have melted... yeeeep. That is most definitely my brain...

I've just pulled an all-nighter, and I haven't even done anything.
I am home for Spring Break (freezing cold... I fucking LOVE the midwest... >_<), and my bro is typing up a 7-9 page paper that is due tomorrow. I agreed to stay up and try to help keep him awake (as well as help with small cosmetics, i.e. I'm a human thesaurus and dictionary tonight). It is now 5:45 AM. I am tired. But, at least I get to go to sleep while he has to go to school tomorrow. HA HA!!
I've never pulled a real all-nighter before (stayed up late, but never literally all night), so this has been an interesting experience. For the record, this time of night, very few people are on the org or SWP forums. -_-
I need to sleep after Scott is done with his paper. Sleep... then shopping. With Every Light by Kusoyaro has got me wanting to go pick up a Smashing Pumpkins CD. Go DL the video if you haven't seen it, it's wonderful (although the robot guy with the human face really creeps me out for some reason).
I should watch my electronics spending... fucking money-whore bursar's office charging me extra for late enrollment... I know it's my fault, and I don't really blame them, but it's nice to blame someone else for the extra money I have to chip out, even if only superficially.
WHORES!!
Ok, I'm done. Go DL With Every Light now. If you like it, thank Hsein. The man is an artist, I swear. The powerful, FX-lite video really appeals to me (as someone who does not have much of a head for effects aesthetics), so I want to emulate him somewhat. But only somewhat, never completely. I am still me, after all, not him. ;)

No one wants to watch Godzilla 2000 with me...

I was looking at the picture of Mamimi on FLCL Vol 2, which I got in the mail today, when I realized something.
Mamimi is very cute. I mean, VERY cute. Something about her pose and facial expression on the Vol 2 cover just strikes a chord with me. She looks sad, and I want to make her smile.
I then realized something else.
My first girlfriend was from a broken home and had self-esteem issues, and was essentially using me to make herself feel strong.
My current ex is afraid of being alone, and would rather be with someone who treats her like shit than be by herself.
Rei has a disturbing lack of self-worth and allows herself to be manipulated and controlled because she doesn't think she deserves differently, since she is easily replaced and knows it.
Mamimi is a socially mal-adjusted, mildly disturbed pyromaniac.
...Why am I consistently attracted to girls with massive psychological issues? >_<
