Gungrave ponderings and updated tv schedule

After watching the recent dvd makes me realize just how much I love this series. There are very few animes that can really capture my attention to the point of grabbing me by the throat and not letting go.

I love Gungrave but it's a series that I can not go back and watch repeatedly. Reason being is that I can only hack emotional series for so long in one sitting. No matter how many times I watch this series, it always chokes me up. I can watch a certain scene umpteen times and STILL have tears in my eyes.

( Just some thoughts regarding the eps, might have a few spoilers just as a warning )

I swear to god scarbie, by watching these recent dvds of #4 and #5, the bunnies are nearly chewing my foot off for that fic idea. Perhaps once the last dvd comes out in July, I can start on it.

Thoughts on the dub regarding dvd 5:

- Lee's crazy laugh is actually pretty good. I'm glad to see that he tried to get it like the Japanese voice.

- I'd rather like the group to be called the Great 4 not the Big 4. Using Great to describe the group gives it more meaning.

- Hmmm....I swore Bunji used the word "brother" throughout the series to call Grave/Brandon and not "big guy". Can't recall what was used in the fansubs (not on the dvds) but "big guy" just didn't seem right.

Since a few more ppl on my flist and the community have joined, allow me to bring this up again.

As for the tv news::

G4 (Formerly G4TechTV) has announced its upcoming series for Anime Unleashed.

New episodes of Gungrave will premiere on May 2nd.

The first 12 episodes of Gungrave will each air during the week prior to the premieres of the new episodes.

I know I said this before when G4 first aired GG but I'll have to say it again. As much as I like the idea that they are showing GG on tv, I can't stand watching ANYTHING on G4. I NEVER seen a channel that is more focused on the commercials than anything else. It also irks me that they cut dialog out from the series just so they can make it fit the time frame its supposed to air. If they cut back on the fucking commercials, they wouldn't have to edit their anime so much.

But I am glad that Adult Swim isn't airing GG. There is SO much wankery in regards to the anime they do show, especially with FMA and Inuyasha fandom (hell just about every fandom now a days), it drives me fucking batty!!

And thats it for my fangirl geekyness for the day. :p
