It seems Sunrise isn't the only one who likes resurrecting characters... Make sure to scroll down to see the new red-haired pirate space alien villain

Now all I have to say is, does he have his Gundam still? Oh Ali, I knew Lyle wouldn't be the end of you! ♥

Last night I had two bad dreams both based on real life. The first involved the dollar suddenly sinking to $1=1 yen right before my trip to Japan. I'm sure this is because the dollar to yen ratio dipped recently from a little over 100 to 98, though now it is back around 99, but I always feel anxiety now especially after the misery of 85 yen to the dollar. I also then dreamed I somehow got on a Tokaido shinkansen without anyone checking for tickets and made it all the way to some random semi-inaka station called "Sakae" not far from Kokura and the edge of Honshu. i was walking through the station when suddenly I realized I had not ticket or rail pass and trains only came once every hour or two and I was stuck. I think this means I need to order my pass. >>;;; Of course this trip, I am unlikely to end up anywhere near Kokura as I am getting a JR East only pass. At the moment the 4 day Flex pass seems the best bet since I am only definitely taking expensive trains on Fri, Tuesday and Thursday. I think I'm going to private line it to Tokyo from Narita since they're all cheaper and faster to get to Ikebukuro and just bus it from my hotel on the 6th, since then I don't need to takyuubin! :D

( I hope you're not sick of flower pictures in Japan yet... )

( I also finally watched the first episode of the new FMA and Sengoku Basara )

Who has seen the complete Clamp in Wonderland 2 which is not supposed to be released until the 26th or so? Raise your hands with me!!!!!

I went to Animate to make some last minute purchases and what should they be playing on one of the monitors but Clamp in Wonderland 2!! Me and 2 Japanese fangirls stopped to watch it. I couldn't hear the song at all, but could see everything. OMG, so good! BTW all you DoE fans I only really noticed Fuuma showing up in the X bit. I'd have to watch the explosion to see if anyone else was there. Seishirou gets his own TB bit where he pretty much steals the video, though my other favorite parts were: Mokona meets MKR Mokona. Mokona vs. Hikaru. The 20 Mensou shout out in the background, Yuzu-chan finally getting out of her damn school uniform from pre-volume 8 and into her Clamp school uniform! CCS love!

I so now need to own it!

Damn, I just found out my trip to Japan coincides with the Tokyo International Anime Fair! *blinks*

I already have plans for some of the days of it, but maybe I will look into going on day. Any on my flist know what sorts of things they have during it? I'd love to see some of my favorite seiyuu in person or other ridiculously fangirly thing. ^o^

Thanks to sumeragiskank I am finally watching anime again and the series I have totally fallen for is Shounen Onmyouji. How can one beat a series about a 13 year old Heian boy and the shikigami sworn to protect him? It's slashy without being as over the top as Seed or Get Backers, and the Heian boy is adorable. His hatred of being referred to as Seimei's grandson makes me think of another 13 year old uke who wants people to use his actual name. I've now watched 1-6 and have 7 downloading. So many good seiyuu in it and Ishida Akira is all incredibly seme and NOT COMPLETELY EVIL. o_O So weird. I admit to also having Loveless issues, what with the grandfather named Seimei and the fact Konishi is playing the protective shikigami who has a thing for underage boys. (Though he is much more seme than in Loveless and his relationship with Seimei while conflicted is not in the league of Seimei and Soubi) Now, all I need to hope for is doujinshi at Haru Comic City or SCC. *______*

What do you get if somehow Raito and Kamui had a son and Syaoran and Kira reproduced (with a bit of Yuuta thrown in for good measure) and then mated Clamp with Gundam Seed, why you'd get Code Geass. I've now watched the first two episodes and Lelouche might look Kamui but he certainly seems to act more like Raito. Suzaku, one of my new favorite ukes, is adorable cute and earnest, though WTH he agreed to pilot Icchan's blue haired cousin's new gundam for Britannia despite the fact the Britannians SHOT HIM. Is he really that naive to think that piloting said new gundam will help him rescue Lelouche and the "Chii"? If he's that naive he really is related to Yuuta. o_O Lelouche and Suzaku already have their AsuKira love story going, except Suzaku has more balls than Asuran ever did, and Lelouche is sort of evil and definitely seme. lol And unlike Shounen Onmyouji, *I* know this series is getting doujinshi as Kashi already has pretty piccies of LeLouche and Suzaku and judging by their eye size in Kashi's art, it is obvious who is going to be the uke. lol

Wheeee so much fun!
