Dear Durarara!!:

I completely absolutely definitely totally can't stand your awesomeness. PLEASE MARRY ME!

( Joking aside, onto the episode! )

Random: I can't wait for the FMA episode this weekend, the preview's looking good! Now I just have to curse that Kimblee will go off the stage soon, boooo.
Random 2: JUST WHAT DO THEY WANT TO DO WITH KUROSHITSUJI?! Unlike most people, I actually liked the anime. The ending was perfect for me. But Kuroshitsuji isn't Kuroshitsuji without Sebastian and Ciel as the lead, which part of that do you not get? ;A;
EDIT: Random 3: THAT SAJI/LOUISE PIC OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG ♥♥♥ But uh, September. That means I probably won't see it until 2011, unless if I go visit Japan at that time orz.

I love how Pixiv's Daily Ranking is dominated by Durarara!! arts already, especially the Shizaya ones. There are seven or eight fanarts of them in the first page (top 50) of the chart already, ahahaha. This has never happened before in Pixiv! I mean, Pixiv ranking is about cute, moe, cute, Vocaloid, more moe, K-ON, and yuri most of the time. Nice to see something that doesn't belong to the moe genre claiming the rankings for once.

...But what the heck, Shizaya had less than five minutes of interaction in the anime so far and fandom is shipping them like mad already. Maybe something interesting happened between them in the later chapters of the manga/novel? Or maybe the fact that it's HiroC and OnoD casting them attracted hundreds of seiyuu slashers already. Or maybe the trash can love is just special (Now I think about it, the fact that it was a trash can made the scene five times more amusing than, say, a vending machine...). Whichever it is, I'm not complaining ♥ /is content At this rate I'm going to start shipping the two myself. I mean, didn't I begin to pay attention to Lockon/Tieria last year thanks to fandom influence as well? X3

It's still too early to tell, but let's see if DRRR!! can top the sales chart just like Bakemonogatari this year. Oh why am I so happy to see Bakemono beating Haruhi lately? So Kadokawa/KyoAni can stop the trolling and get serious now that they have some real competitors, yaaaay.

But darn it, just why do I always step on DRRR!! landmines?! Can't people warn before mentioning any spoilers from the manga/novel when the bbs thread/blog post is only about a certain anime episode!? TT.TT Now I think I know where Selty's head is. And the leader of Dollars. I love how telling me one little spoiler can lead me to speculate (and I think my speculations are actually pretty close this time - at least I'm quite confident about them) so many things about the plot and characters, orz. I should just avoid all blog posts and forums from now on :/

While I'm fixing up my layout and profile, people, go vote at Anime-Source's 2009 Favourite Anime Poll!

But darn it, Gundam and Clannad don't make it because they belong to the Fall 2008 group?! Not fair! How can you even talk about 2009 animes without mentioning those two titles? ;A; Three votes are definitely enough for me then...

( DRRR!! )


Oh this is important. Anyone know where I can find the torrent for the DVD/Blu-ray version of Nakedo Snake? Not just the CD, but the actual episodes. The fixed version is looking good!

To further convince you how much of a procrastinator I am when I'm supposed to be writing my report...
FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD/GUNDAM 00 SEIYUU COMPARSION

Because it still amazes me to think about how many common voices the two shows share. Everyone knew about that ever since the first episode of FMA:B aired, but it wasn't until I ran through the whole list in ANN that I realized how many there were. Considering what a huge cast both series have though overlapping seiyuus are probably inevitable. It's just that something about Lockon and Saachez being BFFs don't sound right...or not. Haha.

24 seiyuus and counting, with the latest addition of Namikawa Daisuke as young!Hohenheim in episode 40 \o/ Not sure if episode 41 added any new names to the list yet.
