I Am No Man's Daughter, Allow Me That

[redbrunja]

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.

COSPLAY PICS NOW PLZ!!! That sounds like awesome fun.

(Did you ever watch Babylon 5, btw? If not, you totally should because Delenn and Ivanova totally kick ass. But I have that on my mind right now because my favorite insane overengineered shoe company has finally come out with a dress boot, and it's just slightly weird-looking enough that I'm wondering if it might be just the thing for a Psi Corps cosplay idea I've kicked around for years...)

I am totally shipping her and Soul.

fffff I shipped them before the credits even finished rolling. And the show itself? Did not disappoint in the least.

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

It was! Almost disturbingly so!

And yeah Maka's daddy issues. I feel bad for Death Scythe because the poor guy really does love his daughter and he tries stupidly hard to be a god father for her despite it all...but on the other hand the man dug his own grave and still hasn't put down the shovel. he'd be the show's Butt Monkey if so many of his problems weren't self-inflicted.

(Also, shameless Mifune fanboy over here)

Yeah, the Alex Row comparisons to Kamina got irritating for me too. I can kinda see it in a basic visual set up, but Row's gonna have to get a lot more lively for me to acknowledge it.

I think I'm going to love Tatiana desperately.
I have that suspicion too.
Last Exile makes me really happy, but the increasing cliffhangers are starting to annoy me.

Soul Eater looks really fun. I wanna watch it now...may have to look for it over Winter Break.

You and enderxenocide were fucking amazing.

Gojyo~

We will have to take pictures on Friday--when we have the antenae and the monocle figured out. I think I might ask Kristina and see if she can't bring up some plyers or something.

So, you know how I feel about Soul Eater/Stein because I was SITTING NEXT TO YOU, but yes. That show is shaping up to be all kinds of awesome.

You might also note that I uploaded this icon JUST to reply here. I don't know why I like him so much (okay, well I do know, but). I'm kind of hoping Stein will be one of the uh, saner creepy mad scientists I'm in love with? Or at least relatively so?

Hope you had a great day! I'll talk to you later this afternoon.
