FMA ch. 40

I'll put stuff behind the cut since there be spoilers for those who aren't following the manga or are trying to catch up.

( Read more... )

Have a short work week since I'm taking Fri night off and considering how I'm feeling, I truly need it. Might as well get the half decent "feeling okay" entries out before I decide on writing something up later on today.

The last of Tenjou Tenge

Finally had the time to watch #23 and #24 of TenTen. Granted I knew what was going to happen but DAMN! Could #23 be any more depressing? I think certain scenes that are in mangas and become animated have more of an emotional pull than what I get from reading and looking at pics. I felt that way about Gungrave too, sure "that" scene is shown in the game but seeing it actually animated knowing the feelings behind the characters, made it more depressing to me.

Course #23 of TT had its silly moments, especially with Buns, but I don't think that quite makes up for what the rest of the eps was about. During that picture taking moment, I never knew what Buns did that made the group irked and beat him up, NOW I know. I really don't think it said in the manga what he did since that part was in a little area in the manga and not a reg. big pic. Buns actually looks pretty hot in his school uniform, then again, when don't I think his character was hot *snerks*

Its amazing to see that huge change in Mits by the mid of #23 and most of #24. Man, what a bastard though in some ways, I guess I can't blame him for the way he is. Awwww.....poor Masataka, being the brunt end of the spectrum again when Nagi had the nerve to tell him "Supporting characters need to stay out of this." If I were Masataka, I'd beat Nagi's ass to a pulp again like he did from the beginning.

Since I lost all my caps from #24 (have NO clue how that happened), there were some good bits in #23 and then have to go back and cap what I wanted of #24, good thing I saved the raw. If the anime creators had a brain, they would work on a 2nd season. >__

Naruto ch.235

Its now out translated and what a great chappy! Shikamaru's dad had some good, thoughtful advice that the kid can take to heart. Though how freaky for the way they had to heal Neji with his hair O__O.

Must must must bust my ass on my Naruto ficcie before next week. If I don't, then I'll just delete the whole thing. I don't like writing about stuff that will happen and it doesn't go with what I'm writing about since it involves the past mission and Sakura and Naruto.

Gungrave eps.7 caps and the problem with tv

Yeah I feel bad about not going in order when it comes to posting caps I took from the dvds but oh well, at least I'm getting it done. The last few pics are from the character design clips on the "extra" part of the dvd. These can also be found in the Gungrave Backyard artbook if you have it. I love my dvd player on my laptop, it takes such smooth clear pics than what it looks if I cap them from fansubs.

Eps.7

I think within time, I might make a folder for Crazy!Harry and his many expressions he does in the series *lol*

Also for scarbie, I had a funny idea for a Bunji icon with what we saw of him in this eps.

"Window washer by day, assassin by night" *snickers*


Sooo...since I took off work tonight, I'm watching Gungrave on TechTv. Needless to say, I'm already pissed off.

Eps. 7, now if someone else watched it tonight and either knows what I'm talking about (to those who seen it before or have the dvd) or just someone who saw it and saw the very end. I only stepped out of my room in a sec. and by that time, Bunji and Harry were in Harry's car talking. I did not hear Brandon's voice at the very end when he and Big Daddy are fishing. So just say that they really did cut that end part out, my question is WTF!?? WHY?!! I wonder what else they might have cut out that I didn't notice since it could be just a small slight clip.

It just seems weird to see it cut to a commerical only cause, well half the anime out there has those little blurbs where the commercial would come in to. But there are some anime that don't do that and this is one of them. And they cut into commercial like 3-4 times so they almost have to cut something in the shows to make it fit. This is why I'd rather see anime on Adult Swim.

Eps. 8 pissed me off too. During the welcoming party at Big Daddy's, after Harry walked away with Sherry, Cid says to Brandon "Your friend is quite the ladies man isn't he?" (or "Your friend sure is quick with the ladies") And guess what? They cut that part out. Again, I ask WTF FOR?????!!!!!! Are they cutting small parts out cause they play the full OP song or what? They don't bother with the ED song or quick clips from the ED animation. Nor do they even play the preview clip (even though its just talking) I also noticed that they are cutting what slight swearing is in this series too. Cid's son normally said Holy Shit! Where as of now, he only said "holy...!" I'd try to compare more but I'll admit I haven't quite finished watching #8 on the dvd, but I know enough of what I saw.



So, to all who are watching it for the first time, I can't stress it enough to just stick to buying the dvds. This is bullshit. Yeah, its good to see it on tv but to butcher it up is just UGH! Annoying.

Sucks, I have to go to bed early tonight. Both of us have to get up early in the morning and head out to Rusk and hopefully ride the train there later tomorrow.

I also finally got around to watching what I had taped of Wolf's Rain regarding Cher's x___x. FUCK dude! I sat there crying with Hubb, my god, so depressing. I didn't even quite act that way when Hubb went x___x last weekend. Though the Blue and Hige moment was just too adorable for words.
