foolish_m0rtalAhh, new chapter of Holic is out. Mog and I have discussed this at length. Notice how the scene when Doumeki enters the shop (the shot makes his jacket sleeve look like a school uniform) mirrors the chapter where Watanuki enters the shop for the first time. Sometimes almost shot for shot. Interesting how the more things change, the more they stay the same. I know fansubs can be a little off, but eerie how if you switch the dialogue for this chapter with the first one, you step back and say YES.
Because if you switch, then when Watanuki enters the shop that first day, Maru and Moru instead say "Welcome home," as if it is preordained that he will be shackled to this place. When Doumeki enters, it becomes, "Welcome. You are Master's guest." (Word for word. A typo? Seems strange) I thought that was odd in the beginning because it's not usually a title for a woman, but maybe Maru and Moru don't necessarily live in time the same way we do? I'm probably making way too much out of this.
This manga keeps getting sadder and sadder- the ending has to be either happy or beautifully futile. I feel that's the only way Clamp can do it justice. I feel like it's going to pull a Godchild and make me cry at the end. (why, Godchild, why? I knew it was coming, but why?!)
Speaking of why, Claaamp, give me back my Gohou Drug!
Speaking of Godchild, the anime Kuroshitsuji is creepily like Godchild/Count Cain saga. Same dark violent murder mystery-like plots, Victorian era, and then a dude with his unflappable butler. Except for the fact that if they ever did a blatant Ciel/Sebstian undertone like they did a Cain/Riff undertone in Godchild,
<spoiler> (they die in each others arms, for gods' sake) </spoiler>
I would possibly put out my eyes.
Shotacon= NO, NOT EVER
But there are remarkable similarities nonetheless, no?
C-reepy.
And 500 yen says Doumeki transferred from science to folklore so he can free Watanuki. (I would say those guys take 'an eye for an eye' way too seriously, but they've already done that...)
Right now, I'm getting into Mirage of Blaze, which is apparently light BL, but nothing's happened yet so I feel like it's fine. It's just so fascinating because it's teeming with Japanese history. The characters are reincarnations of warlords from the feudal era who are born every generation as exorcists in a battle against the malicious spirits of the past. The research that goes into these stories is impeccable. I've learned so much about Japanese history already. ^_^ I was told that fansubs only had 4-6 episodes out on the internet, so that's where I stopped all those years ago, but I happened to stumble across it yesterday, and they're up to 16! Yay!
Speaking of anime I'm getting into, can anyone tell me if there's a better site than megavideo to watch Kyo Kara Maoh? Mega is the best right now because the other places either don't load or have a lot of missing episodes.
