Bought X illustrated collection for $32.40 yesterday, a wee bit expensive lah, but the pictures are soooo beautiful. My original plan was to get Clover, also from CLAMP but comics connection didn't have it. I don't even think the shop keeper knew what i was talking about when i checked to see if Clover was in stock. He gave me the common respond ' Are you talking about Honey and clover?' I really hope kino has Clover, i must get Clover no matter what! My last resort will be buying online but mum might not allow =(
The 3 must gets: Noir anime or ost, Madlax anime or ost, Clover manga (4 books)
I'll also look around in malaysia and china for other random anime stuff... Anything to increase my collection! XD But i'm kinda out of space to keep them, so will request for a whole shelf when i have enough to impress.
Watching full metal panic fumoffu now. Not as good as the 1st season cos it lacks action, like a branch off the main story and more on the school life of Sagara and Chidori. Totally hilarious though, just 10 episodes fumoffu made me laugh more than the whole of 1st season. Sagara.. how should i put it, he's such a lovable character, dumb and serious but so sincere. Yes, the importance of being earnest. So charming. *Sigh* Sagara has taken over Renji's position in my ranking of bishies. Shalnark, goku and yzak still remain in the top 3. AHAHA i feel dumb. -__-
Oh yes, so i strongly recommend the full metal panic series to everyone. A special bonus if you like mecha stuff cos the machines are awesome though not as detailed as the gundams, needless to say.
Gungrave is the next anime i'm moving on to. With my interest in guns, vampires and bounty hunters, it isn't too surprising i guess. Nope, i've not forgotten about watching the older gundams, though i've taken G gundam out of the list cos i can't stand the graphics. It reminds me of dragonball too much.
Should i change my blog layout? Cos the current layout isn't very suitable for long posts and i'm tired of seeing the same thing for too long.
On a side note, i started mapling again, training a warrior in Aquila till i get my bandit back this friday, which is tomorrow XD I will need to hunt for a new weapon soon and i have the liubei dagger in mind. God knows how long that will take. Of course, i could also get it from the free market but my mesos might not be sufficient. Chief bandit, here i come!
Ah since i have time now, i shall blog about the mangas i bought from kino a while back. Vassalord, lonesome eden and trinity blood book 5. After reading the 1st 2, i was rather proud of myself for making such good choices. Other than a few yaoi parts, i enjoyed vassalord and lonesome eden very much. Yes, even lonesome eden hinted at shounen ai. Are all comics turning towards that? T__T hope not. Lonesome eden, contary to my initial horror, is NOT hentai, not even the slightless bit. It was touching and bitter sweet. The story of a god's favourite puppet (a male) living in a beautiful garden and his loneliness. The puppet is a standard bishonen, so beautiful..
Vassalord gave a totally different atmosphere. Action, humour, shounen ai and violence packed in one book. About the yaoi part.. previously i quoted from this website saying 'Story: Charley is a cyborg vampire Jesus freak who does the Vatican's dirty work. Johnny is a vampiric hedonist who loves irritating his more-or-less unwilling partner. Technically not yaoi, but almost.' How true. The relationship Charley and Johnny have is complicated. Johnny calls himself Charley's "father" (doesn't this remind you of a certain Tamaki?) and it is obvious that they care for each other. But in the way a father cares for his son or is there something more? The biting parts *AHEM, they are vampires, you know* support the 'something more' idea but from what was revealed of Charley's past and judging from how those 2 get along with each other, they seem normal. That's why Vassalord is 'Technically not yaoi, but almost'. Anyway, Johnny, though the older guy and the 'father', is always the uke in the pairing. T___T This is so wrong.
Both Vassalord and Lonesome eden are now free for borrowing XD
