I Am No Man's Daughter, Allow Me That

I think it's really cruel of my teachers that they all decided to get hardcore and start truly assigning things on the week of halloween, when I have a friend I haven't seen in months visiting.

Timing FAIL.

Also, it was cosplay night at anime club. enderxenocide  and I were Hakkai and Gojyo, and, if I may be frank, we were awesome. (Even if I couldn't get my hair to make the little antenaes, and we haven't figured out the monocle.) I also ate a month's worth of sugar. Anyway, Gojyo is so fun to cosplay. I just play with my (fucking awesome red) zippo and cigerette and act slutty, and it's a blast. And then enderxenocide  orders me around (I got Hakkai a piece of pizza, a drink, candy, and something else.)

Now, before I get into the animes, a word: Please no spoilers in comments. Even those vague, "wait until later when something happens relating to what you just said! Character you loved/hated gets badass later!" kind of comments. I am a clever girl, and I always end up trying to figure out what you mean, especially when two people who have both seen the series get into those conversations full of written eyebrows lifts and significant looks.

Okay, Soul Eater? Rocks hardcore. Maka is fucking awesome, with actually valid daddy issues, and a fantastic attitude.

I am totally shipping her and Soul.  I love how they interact, and if that awesome scene in the credits where she grabs his hand and he turns into her scythe wasn't enough, there was the fantastic scene where she thinks he'd ditching her (and that girl is going to have such issues when she starts to date - hell she has them now... of course, Soul is totally going to flip when she starts to date....).

I love the style - it's stylistic and elongated while still being pleasant to watch.

Then I watched episode 5, because enderxenocide  loves crazy scientist characters and Dr Stein and Copy Nin Kakashi need to go out for drinks. So much.

And that scene when Stein was drawing on Maka's stomach? Creepy and hot.

Also, I totally want a Maka icon with her and Soul (in weapon form) and the text: "no man's daughter".

Last Exile: Awesome, as per usual. I think I'm going to love Tatiana desperately. Also, I'd like to chuck Alex Row off his freaking awesome boat. I have no patience for brooding brunettes who act like assholes (and yes, I'm sure he has some desperately tragic backstory that is still not going to make treating everyone like pawns okay.

Also, everyone was being really obnoxious and yelling "Karmina" whenever Alex was onscreen. I almost turned around and yelled that the girl behind me the third time it happened.

TTGL was another episode I've seen, so I skipped out early. Frankly, the more I hear about TTGL and meet its fangirls, the less I want to watch that show.

Heh, but if you judged, say, Avatar on its fangirls, Avatar would consist of a psychotic, frequently misogynist bunch of wankers who spent the entirety of the show squeeing over Zuko. And everyone would be having sex.

Fair point. However, the fact that the first 5 episodes failed to grab me, none of the spoilers have made me want to watch the episodes it would take to get there, and the fanbrats are really, really annoying..... they're really just the icing on the cake.
