Updates

I have so many f-ing things to do between work/school, finding living arrangements, packing, and finding someone to help me move that I don't even have time for anime. Seriously. Ask Mayama. We've just obtained 2 more Hot Clubs and 3 more Blood+'s that are burning a hole in his pocket. And I won't watch them with him.

I say. We need to expand our relationship beyond "hey let's watch anime." :-p

I did read Saiyuki Reload volume 1 today. It was the same old Saiyuki. Which is good. And there were a lot of hilarious things said. I think that sometime I shall buy it. But....today I bought the Gravitation novel instead. When I have time to read (ie on the plane to Japan) I'll let you know how it is. Though traditionally, novel versions of mangas.....not great. But....I'm very forgiving, especially when it comes to my yaoi, and that goes doubly for Gravi. I mean pretty much it's gonna go......is Yuki in it?? Does he say sweet things to Shuichi?? Ok....it's good.

Mori-sempai

Let's talk about anime.

For real talk about it. I'm not doing a whole review....I just want to comment on a particular character. This being Takashi Morinozuka (Mori) of the delightfully hilarious and delicious show Ouran High School Host Club (Hot Club...Mayama made a GREAT typo one day. Great and ever so appropriate). Anyway. The entire premise of the show is based around extremely good looking boys. It makes me ever so jealous and covetous. I started out madly in love with the VP of the club (Kyouya Ootori...I think you'll see why. As an aside, he's one of the few bespectacled anime bishounen who I think looks better with his glasses OFF) but as we progress; as each episode ticks by, I fall more and more and more in love with Mori. Strong and EXTREMELY silent Mori. Ok....it started with the episode that he showed Haruhi (the girl...longish story, read the review) that he might actually like her. And from there, all I think is, Mori.........go for it buddy. But, he doesn't. He's too busy worrying about his cousin (Honey-sempai) to the point of masochism. No girl is EVER getting in there. Though, if one did, I'd wish for it to be Haruhi. I know it won't be though, if she's slated for anyone she's slated for Tamaki...the King, as it were. To which I say......if you're not gonna try to get to Mori, then move over and let ME get to Mori.
