I saw that one. She did a pretty good job on it.
I saw a few Utenas and Anthys, with a Juri thrown in for good measure. Ans I
thought I saw a Touga, but...
BTW, has anyone here seen anyone dressed(on fansview) as Sailor V? Because a
friend of mine from LJ was supposed to be going as her, but I haven't really
been able to find her... I thought I saw her at the bottom of page 24 of the
Friday morning cosplayers, but I wasn't sure.(And sadly, I don't have a link on
hand, so that'll have to do.)
And I think you meant Friday, not Monday. ^^; d'oh! moment!!!

I think I saw one who resembled Sailor V when I went through but I was
going fast since there are so many pages to wade through. ~_~

Yeah, someone who picked a character that was a natural for her.

I'm sure I'll find them tonight or tomorrow. I only surfed through
one-third of the pages for *Friday* last night, than quit because I had to
get up in time to figure out my budget and get to the post office before it
closed at noon so that I wouldn't have a late credit card payment. Reality
bites.
> BTW, has anyone here seen anyone dressed(on fansview) as Sailor V?
I literally wouldn't know Sailor V from Sailor Venus if the girls playing
them came up and kissed me. ;-* ;-)

There were some spectacular Sailor Moon groups on *Friday* morning!

And here it is. From Friday afternoon, Utena and Anthy:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730c0149.jpg
And Utena again goofing off with a Chobits hat:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730d0136.jpg
Movie Rose Bride Anthy and Art Book Duellist Utena:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730d0176.jpg
Juri!
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730d0289.jpg
So this probably isn't Oscar and Marie Antoinette. It's still interesting,
and what I'd imagine a cross between Oscar and Utena would look like:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730d0180.jpg
And some noteworthy non-Utena cosplay.
Soupy-kun from Scrapped Princess:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730c0131.jpg
A Dragoon from Scrapped Princess:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730c0199.jpg
We see lots of Arucards and Victoria Seras cosplayers. Integra Hellsing is
another matter:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730c0134.jpg
A *Prince of Tennis* cosplay group? That's got to be a first!
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/ot30b0015.html
Luffy, Zora, and Nami are fairly common. Ussop and Chopper aren't:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730d0167.jpg
And as a demonstration that anime fandom is still part of science
fiction/fantasy/comic book fandom, Merry (or Pippin--you decide!)
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730d0230.jpg
And Teen Titans:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0731d0057.jpg
A real ballerina cosplaying Princess Tutu:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730g0101.jpg
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730g0104.jpg
Shinji, Rei, and Asuka are a dime a dozen, and even Gendo is fairly common.
Actual Evas, on the other hand...
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730g0178.jpg
I was wondering when Yuffiebunny would make an appearance:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0730g0210.jpg
A Full Metal Alchemist group:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0731a0192.jpg
And that concludes Friday. Saturday and Sunday later!

Whoo hoo... that's one of the best Claire cosplays I've seen yet... all
you Utena fans see Princess Tutu,... it is so much like Utena (save
there are less characters and its weirder and younger). *idly works on
Mute costume* Mute is a true prince... he's braindead and falls out of
windows to catch birds while he wears only a button down shirt with no
pants. ^____^

Good finds, Vince. Mind if I post some of my own pics from Otakon?
(*Pretends he says yes.*) These aren't fabulous, but I quickly
realized I would get sick of spending the whole con trying to get
pictures of people....
Utena, Anthy, and Wakaba (the latter's outfit's a little dark and I
didn't realize she was with them at first):
http://www.deathquaker.org/anime/images/utakwak.jpg
Utena posing nicely for me:
http://www.deathquaker.org/anime/images/utena1.jpg
Mikage and Mamiya--I backtracked to make sure I got this one since
we've discussed they're a rare find. "Mikage" assured me her hair
looked better earlier on (I'd gotten them up from taking a break and
she'd taken her wig off):
http://www.deathquaker.org/anime/images/mikamami.jpg
An Anthy that Vince got, but sans her white-wearing Utena:
http://www.deathquaker.org/anime/images/anthy1.jpg
The Nanami that Vince posted first. I'm mad I cut her feet off because
she did a fabulous job with the shoes. She's the best Nanami I've ever
seen:
http://www.deathquaker.org/anime/images/nanami.jpg
I'm mad because I first saw an Akio near that Nanami, but by the time
I'd readied my camera he'd disappeared. He really looked fabulous, of
what I saw of him--nicely detailed, on par with Scortia's, IIRC.
I also missed the two best Utena cosplays for reasons of low battery
or not getting to them fast enough--there was one woman dressed as
Utena I saw in the dealer's room who really looked wonderful, and had
spent some nice time on the epaullettes and other adornments. I
complimented her on it; she said she'd worked all night on it. It
showed. She was wearing glasses--hopefully Vince'll find a copy on
fansview. Another one I hope he'll find is an Utena and Anthy
pair--they had fabulous detail, a bouquet of real roses, and a
custom-made Sword of Dios.
I also saw a Miki wandering around, as well as a group of Utena,
Anthy, Jury, and Black Rose Shiori--I really wish I'd gotten the
latter, just because Shiori doesn't get cosplayed much, but I and they
were squooshed into a rather large crowd and I couldn't get to them
before they disappeared. Otherwise there were lots of Utenas and
Anthys, but not much else. Still, I think I saw more Utena cosplay at
this Otakon than at ones past so that was nice!
Some other non-Utena piccies:
Gourry Gabriev
http://www.deathquaker.org/anime/images/gourry.jpg
A friend of mine as the priest from Inu Yasha (haven't seen Inu Yasha
so I don't know the character's name):
http://www.deathquaker.org/anime/images/raynor.jpg
And for non-anime, an awesome Harley Quinn and her Mr. J:
http://www.deathquaker.org/anime/images/jokerharley.jpg
Overall Otakon was great... It was HUGE this year... I mean it's
always been big but I think someone was estimating numbers around
20,000 total. I wasn't too inspired by the panels and workshops, but I
did attend a workshop on Japanese writing and I saw a buttload of some
great anime. I also spent a ridiculous amount of money on goodies, and
must say while I got some gifts, a good deal of the ridiculous amount
of money was spent on myself (well, I just got a raise, so I needed to
celebrate, right? ^^).
Beyond some uncomfortable moments of crowd-wading, the only *bad*
thing I experienced was getting into an argument with a rather bitchy
artist representing Yuricon (I'm not blame-free but she had the
positive communication skills of an angry 12 year old--and looked like
she was in her fifties, so was pretty pathetic), but even that I tried
to end as peaceably as I could and get on with things. As I sort out
my self (and get some rest) I'll write my "report" (which is usually a
summary of the stuff I did and my reviews of the anime I saw) and post
it on my Web site. If anyone's curious, when it goes up it'll be in
the "miscellaneous" section of my anime site (go to my main page,
click on anime, then click on misc).

Yeah. I need to check Saturday night once I get back online in a bit; I hadn't
seen fansview since last night, and they hadn't updated since maybe the
Saturday morning cosplayers...

be #1 con in the US.

I know... it's sad how many ghetto Nanami's we've seen. Her hair
looked great, too it's harder to see in the picture.
Maybe it seems silly, but I think if a lot of cosplayers tried harder
on the hair they'd look so much better. I mean, Nanami's not even that
hard but there aren't even people who bother with the crown-braid.
A lot of Jury cosplay especially drives me crazy because they do these
half-assed curls that have too much hair-goop in them and look all
stringy and small. They either need to buckle down and get out the hot
rollers or a properly done wig or just leave their hair as it is so it
at least looks *normal*. Jury would never, after all, go out having a
bad hair day. Of course, I'm saying this and I'm terrible at styling
hair.... but still, if _I_ cosplayed, I'd do a costume with hair I
could manage to do right, or make a friend help me at any rate.

I tried to look for him on fanview but couldn't find. :( It was so
weird... I saw him just kinda hanging out with Nanami, I went over to
the corner to turn on my camera, and I turned around and she was there
and he was gone. I thought for sure I'd see him again, but no...

Well... 20,000 I heard from someone. It may not have been that big,
BUT there were 12,500 pre-regs and possibly as many at-door
registrations. You should have seen the lines on Friday and Saturday
morning for at door registration....
http://www.deathquaker.org/anime/images/regline1.jpg
.... that was a small part of it Friday morning. Being preregistered I
only had to stand in an interminable line *inside* in the A/C, thank
goodness.
Thank god for the video rooms. They're nice and dark and you can
forget the teeming crowds are there.

I only took one day off though.... guess I better get started on that

And one of the Utena-Anthy pairs mentioned by either DQ or Onsen Mark:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0731b0093.jpg
Now, unless you were there, you won't believe how Utena showed up in the
costume contest! My daughter and I saw this picture of Kermit the Frog and
thought "what is he doing at an anime convention:

There is justice in cosplay after all! Oh, and Akio wins a Judge's Award,
too.
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/otcosp.htm
BTW, Rabbi Wolfwood was there, and he won a Judge's Award as well. Scroll
down the page to see him.
Some notable non-Utena cosplay (with help from my daughter):
Adam from Evangelion:

Looks like he's supposed to be Jareth (*fangirl squeal for David
Bowie*) from Labyrinth--a good match to Akio, really. "I ask for so
little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave."
(I thought someone here had that quote in their sig but I can't find
it, or I'd credit'em....)

Exactly! But, as a wig stylist, I've learned that in most cases people
are just too scared to tamper with a wig they've had to spend good money
on... they'd rather throw it to someone to cut on for them or they will
just do without and leave it as is. ^^;;;;;

See with Juri... there's a few dilemnas. When I made my TV series Juri
I looked everywhere for the right wig. Now there is a colonial wig
which is practically perfect and it comes in orange. I've seen a few
Juri cosplayers wearing it and.. well... bright orange hair really makes
the costume look silly... there aren't wigs her exact shade of orange
and the orange it does come in is way too loud. For mine I bought a
strawberry blonde wig with smaller curls and colored it a tad bit
oranger... it worked well, a lot of people told me they liked the more
natural look of Juri's hair... since her hair is hard to translate in RL.

Judging from what you just said of it, some dumb chick chooses to not be with
the sexy guy. Why do they do that???

Yes! Vote for Dryden Fassa in '04.
In fact, vote anyone. Akio Ohtori in '04.
It would be really bizarre if they were on the same ticket.
I'm sorry, I'm watching Daily Show.

I love Akio ... but I don't think I want him for president. ~_~ There's
already enough misleading going on in politics without having a pretty
little mind-raper in office such as Akio. ;p And Monica Lewinsky would
be an afterthought to all the interns Akio would seduce. Dryden would
be a hell of a leader though. *more worship*

I thought I saw a Touga among the Friday cosplayers, but I wasn't sure.
Yup. There's another picture of her on Saturday, with an Artemis.
BTW, that skirt's supposed to be blue. That comes directly from the source.
She's sad, though, because she can't see the pictures of herself on
cosplay.com.

Oh right, I bet she's *really* sorry. ^^ Still, she may not very happy with
me, if she's aware of me at all. Search for "Yuffiebunny" on Google Groups
and you'll find that I'm the one who's mentioned her more than anyone else
on USENET. I also started an topic on realiiity.com about Room Raiders and
included a description of the episode in which she was "the prize". It
makes me look like her biggest fanboy. :-P Oh, well, one should expect that
kind of behavior from someone (me) who is both an anime/cosplay otaku and a
reality TV otaku. FWIW, I'm not alone in this combination. There is
another cosplayer/otaku on realiiity.com. We have a *lot* to talk about!

It's going to be on Adult Swim. It may not be that butchered. In fact, it
may not be butchered at all. Compare the versions of The Big O shown on
Toonami vs. that shown on Adult Swim. Besides, I know the fellow who is
likely to be doing the editing, if any. He's the same person who edited out
the blood in Cowboy Bebop. He was quite proud that he was able to get
Cowboy Bebop shown *uncut* (no lost scenes), if not unedited. He'll
probably be able to do the same thing with Full Metal Alchemist.

lol. She's really nice so I doubt she'd be upset. I'm still waiting
for a cosplay reality show... G4 would have been the most likely channel
for some sort of cosplay/con related show... until they totally slapped
us in the face by using Anna Nicole Smith to cosplay in GPhoria.... not
only that, they asked real cosplayers to lend them their costumes for
Smith or to make them for her. ~_~;;;;

That's good... I just happened to see a trailer and.. the dub voice for
Ed was.. ugh. It may be uneditted but the voices haven't impressed me

I have to agree. I saw one almost as good at Anime Central on Sunday, but

It was 20,000 *not* counting the people who only showed up Sunday. I have
no idea how may Sunday-only registrants there were. Even so, it wasn't the
largest anime convention in the US this year. Anime Expo had 25,000
attendees and was covered by Slate.com and NPR's Day By Day. Of course, San
Diego Comic Con dwarfed both with 80,000 registrants and daily coverage by
NPR on their flagship news program, All Things Considered. Of course, it
helps that Quentin Tarantino was one of the guests, as were some of the
actors from the various superhero movies, and Lucasfilm announced the title
of Star Wars, Episode III. Those are the kinds of guests and announcements
that will attract mainstream attention.

Took me until Saturday night to post. I can tell I'm too busy!
During the fashion show, a lot of the cosplay contestants made an encore
appearance. First, the Utena Muppets:

I have no clue!

The next morning I found no Utena cosplayers, but here were some I thought
worthy of mention.
The lead character from Magical Play:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0801a0024.jpg
More Last Exile cosplayers, including the first Dios I've seen:
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0801a0154.jpg
BTW, my daughter is thinking of drawing a fan art with Dios (from Utena),
Dios (from Last Exile), and Dilandau and titling it "Separated at Birth?"
Some Cowboy Bebop cosplay. While Spike, Faye, and Ed are popular, few
people tackle Jet, Vicious, the girl from Big Shots, and the teen from
"Boogie Woogie Feng Shui". They're all here.
http://www.fansview.com/2004/otakon/0801a0176.jpg

Allen Shezar is not rare, but here's a good one:

Some live action cosplay--Little Shop of Horrors:

And in a fitting end to my Otakon report, two "I want hugs" people give each
other a hug.

Yes! And he does it with barely any effort... such a gifted man. I'd
actually liked to see a ticket with him and Folken running together... I
must say choosing who would be pres and vice-pres is a tough choice...
there's pros and cons... Folken is one hell of a speaker though... And
with Dryden there, Folken wouldn't make bad decisions based on his

Ohhh, haha, gotcha. (It really is bad this year isn't it? I think I'd vote just

What's this social security you speak of, I know of no such thing. All I know
about social security is it's a big red number on my paystub that I could have

Yeah, with Folken there is that. ;_; Poor thing is such an idealist. I admire
that but it would probably get us in trouble, and Americans don't seem to want
peace on earth much anyway. Dryden would be enough to even him out, Dryden's
very practical and realistic.
I think it would work better with Dryden at the front, Folken's too idealistic
and he'll scare people. Not to mention that he wears makeup, which will make
about oh, say, the entire redneck south hate him. Thankfully the people down
here are too dumb to realize there's a VP, so he's safe in that position.) Of
course Dryden's kinda hardcore left wing, so he'd have to at least pretend to
center out a bit so they get elected at all. (Of course it's not like they
wouldn't win automatically for being hot.)
That said, Folken has WINGS. That makes any crazy idealist thing he does okay.
BECAUSE HE HAS WINGS. So pretty. All hot men should have wings. Retractable ones
of course, that whole car jump over the windshield thing probably would have
been kinda tough with a full wingspan catching the wind going 100+ mph....the
mental image is funny though.
What about Allen for Sec. of Defense? (Just so that sometimes all three will be
on the same stage and we can drool like idiots.) OHHH no no, Allen is Sec. of
State, DILANDAU is Sec. of Defense. First time in our nations history where 50%
of our defense budget goes to flamethrowers.
What's really sad is Dilandau's more sane than the one we've got. But then,
Rumsfeld isn't a man. HE'S A ZOMBIE.

Exactly ~_~;;; My parents are even convinced they won't get it at this

Yes they'd be a great pair. Well, even though Folken did support a
large war and all... I think even he would see that even the stuff we're
doing at the moment are pointless. And he, unlike certain people,
doesn't think he was ordained by God to kill other people... er... I

Awww. ;_; I'm usually pretty down to earth about money but if I were rich I'd
blast rockets filled with cash into space in hopes of seeing a little more of
what's there. I'm not saying we need to give all our money to the cause, but
when you consider what the defense budget was this year... I mean, agree with
blowing cash on NASA or no, at least it's a better cause then LOL I MAKE BIG
EXPLOSIONS AND WAVE MY PEEPEE AROUND SEE DADDY
I'm usually all for violence, but this 'war' is really stupid and it's making TV
suck and I don't like that it's actually _working_ in that people aren't
noticing what a horrible economy this is.

INSURANCE LOL I can't afford it either. We're in the same position it seems. I'm
a full time student (I have to take all my classes at night/as indep. study.)
with a _full_ time job that doesn't even offer insurance. Which is why it's
taking forever to update the site. I unfortunately have rather lofty ambitions
concerning where I want to live, or things would be a lot easier for me. -_-; Ah

I think if Folken decided to start a 'war on terror', he'd actually finish it as
opposed to lingering on the opening lap while 9857482645 other countries are
worse than Iraq was and they're getting away with whatever they like.

Oh, I can do you one better. I live in Miami-Dade county, about 45 min south of
Miami proper. You might recall about four years ago there was a little to-do
about an election that centered on my area, where the people are so dumb they
can't figure out a punchcard machine. The schools are so bad down here that I
decided 'screw this' and did my last three years of high school at home.
Miami itself is pretty redneck free, but I live in Homestead, which aside from
being dead center on the course of hurricane Andrew back in '91, is known for
what a festering redneck sinkhole it is. I work as data entry at a tire
retreading plant. If you can't guess, this means I get on a daily basis about
nine hours of brutal exposure to the dumbest redneck swine in Florida. I'm
seriously less intelligent than I was a year ago simply from exposure to these
people.

Well this is true, he would have the merchant blood. But he's more a Renaissance
merchant than a modern one, he wouldn't be as willing to pander to big
corporations. Would still give him that streak of right wing. As far as human
rights and such though? Total liberal. He seemed very much a 'an it harm none..'
kinda guy.

Because clearly the devil's wings are always black. Never white. I mean, that
would be deceptive, and that's like so not the devil's thing. Dumb hicks.
I like Folken's wings. The black contrasts his pale skin and hair beautifully.

Well if the wingspan's wide enough they coast more than flap. Of course, it's
not wide enough in Folken's case... but stop questioning! Just look at the
pretty wings. ;_;

Ugh, tell me about it. Kerry is really just creepy to look at. And boooooring.
What's with the Dems and these godlessly boring candidates? I think they blew
all their interesting juice on two terms of Clinton.
At this point I just want someone who is passionate about something other than
blowing up the world. I would have voted for McCain. I'm not even republican,
and I don't agree with a lot of what he has to say, but at least he has
something to say.

It was fun back when N. Korea was basically saying "We have Nukes and we
want too keel you." and we're like... "yeah yeah... we have to get that
whipped nation with no nukes first... but by the time we're done there,
you will no longer be in headlines and everyone will have forgotten
about you. Oh, and that Bin Laden fellow too."

lmao. I must admit when he went to Asturia and somehow convinced all of
the allied nations to take up against Zaibach I was incredibly
impressed... and he looked so proud and snarky but not in an obvious

True enough.... though I somehow have this thing where I don't want big

Well Dryden was kinda rude to Allen. Or he came across that way because he
didn't seem to care about anything until something he cared about struck him. He
doesn't get all flipped out at the drop of a hat, and Allen can't relate to
that.

YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO LET ME READ THIS.
I'm a huge fan of the devil, he's an interesting character, and it's fun that
over time the same character has been interpreted so many different ways. There
aren't many situations like that, where you can see how time and culture changes
a single defined personality. Also, I like egotistical assholes.
But he has white wings. ;_;

^^;; 9 credit summer is horrible... I did 6 a few years back in the
summer... but I think that was mostly unbearable because it was an
English Bible Study class and I was the only non-Christian in the room.
meh. You'll do okay... I've survived a few years of 19 credits and work

^_^ I loved the line where Allen is complaining about his dad and
Dryden basically said he wished his father had been like that because
all he cares about is money. I'm not a fan of Allen, so anything Dryden
said that made him angry makes me happy. ;p He's just very blunt, which
is something Allen isn't prepared for... plus he seems to really enjoy
being admired as a perfect prince with no downfalls... *cough* I see an

lmao. But you know, he may not have been all that egotistical... all
depends on the spin of the writers. ;p I basically put him into a
situation where he's being forced into condemnation yet again in the
present to set an example. Man, if God is like he is written, my ass is

The final arc is totally worth it. The Nanami egg episode in English is
incredibly funny.. her dub actress is amusing... and then they go
through the bowling ball incident and the entire point of the confusion
of that is ignored. I hate to say it but Central Park Media is one of
the worst dub companies... they get amateur voice actors, they don't try
to explain anything, and they put the wrong images on the last two dvd
covers. ~_~:;;; And why oh why would the dvds for the BLACK Rose arc be
bright white?! idiots.

in LA. I do, however, have a not so mild obsession with NYC. It annoys people
because I talk about it too much. ;_; I can give directions to and from places
in NYC but I can't find a damn thing right where I live. I'm more familiar with
the subways on Manhattan than I am with the highways in Miami. And at any given
moment I can tell you what's going on at the MET, but I have no idea what's
going on on South Beach. I'm a loser. ;_;

basically slept through, though English was easier since I didn't even have to
memorize anything. Algebra was rough, though. Especially the first few weeks
where on top of the class I was grinding out all the high school math I kinda
sorta skipped. ;_; I hate math. Really, I do. This term I'm taking my other
required math class and then I'm free for the rest of my degree. Joy!!!!

I _loved_ that line. It said so much about Dryden. He said that and he meant it
but it was also like he realized it was a case of 'the grass is always
greener...'...he's such a smart boy. Definitely a little too honest and open for
some people. He speaks his mind, which isn't going to fly with someone like
Allen. I like Allen, but really he's very immature that way. Gets his butt all
in a tizzy when someone speaks a different opinion.

Well yeah, I meant more specifically the modern interpretation of him is usually
an egotistical asshole. Really, what he was originally was just a guy given the
crappy job. Christians don't like that version though. Admittedly I do quite
like the modern version, since he's usually a gorgeous sex-crazed nasty evil
man. I don't think the original intent was for the devil to have sex appeal,
though. ^^
I don't believe in the religion anymore (though I kept the guilt! Yay!), but
yeah. If God exists, and he's anything like that book says...I'm screwed. I
don't even bother with redemption. I go through the seven deadly sins before I
finish breakfast. ;_;

They should tie them all down. Handcuffs or something. And ball gags. Just make

applause to make a 30 minute speech last an hour. But then, I don't know if I'd
want to listen to him talk nonstop for that long.

It carries over into real life for me. I don't so much like blonds, but when an

Algebra and a few other classes were almost exactly the same as in high
school. It's all about balancing your curriculum so that you have an

Supposedly a study sense (since it was for an English credit)... but in
the first class I stated how in the beginning of Genesis the moral seems
to be that seeking out knowledge is a bad thing... that knowing evil
condemns us as evil... and that truly isn't free will because free will
is strongest when you know the worst and don't follow it. Yeah, my

*sniffs* And look at what he spawned... his wife has hell dogs coming
out of her stomach and she gave birth to a shapeless creature who raped
her. What a fun life. ~_~ I like the fact that he showed just how
stupid angels could be...I will forever consider Uriel the "dumbass
angel". ^^ Oh and if you liked that book I HIGHLY recommend Christopher
Moore's book "Lamb" as well as his other books... he takes on religious
concepts and puts the most intelligent, philosophical spin on them...
imagine Jesus as a kid with his brother... the brother killing a lizard,
Jesus sticking it in his mouth and it coming back to life and handing it
back to his brother to kill again, back and forth... that's the
beginning of the book and it continues on about Jesus' life from the
perspective of his best friend Levi (known as Biff)... it's really such
a good read...

Well that summer was my first term, and it was techncially the last term of last
year, so it doesn't count. I'm a freshman.
I hate you now because you're good at math. I got an A, but I had to work for
it. I don't like working for things as I'm a little lazy. I can sleep through
science classes, which account for much of the rest of my degree.
Except that this term...I have to take...CRITICAL THINKING AND ETHICS.
See it's funny because I don't think critically and I'm highly unethical. But I
can pretend. XD

What's your specific major in art, or is it just art? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE
MATH AT ALL? Stupid core classes, they're just there to waste your money.
I chose my profession based on what would serve me best (nursing), not
necessarily what I'd most like to do (psychology). Nursing is something you
_can_ get a job with the day you walk out of school. With a signing bonus. And
since I'm getting a BS instead of an AA, I can go for a Masters, and the right
nursing MA brings in as much cash as a doctor with more freedom. I just want to
pay the bills in as few days as possible without being awake during the day. (12
hour shifts at night = extra pay for off hours, 3 or 4 day weekends. YAY
LAZINESS)

I like playboys as long as they aren't the exact obnoxious stereotype. Allen had

You said it.
My alarm goes off. I smash the snooze button in hatred. (Sloth, Wrath.) It goes
off again and I get out of bed. The first thing in my line of vision is two
posters with Akio in them. (Lust.) Utena's in one of them. (Envy.) I spend at
least 10 seconds admiring my hair (shut up) (Pride). I then go to my computer
and I check for any new and interesting torrents (Greed), while stuffing my face
with whatever is in the kitchen that takes the least time to prepare (Gluttony).
Damn, I'm good.

Graphic Design and Digital Art (yep there's a difference) are my
focuses... I had to take 2 semesters of foreign language and kinesiology
too because our art department doesn't have enough art classes available
to fill the void... oh wait, they did starting last spring... when I'm
almost finished and can't switch over to the new curriculum... argh.
Well I have to take core classes because I'm at a state college... only
people with the money for art school have that liberty... plus, I went
here to cover my own ass... getting an english minor and an honors
diploma so that if the art falls through I can go back to college and
get a few more classes and teach instead... Yes my confidence is
amazing. ^^;;;;

Sounds great... and sure as hell there need to be some decent nurses...
I've gone to hospitals for relatives a lot in the last few years and I'd

I might be. I'm 20 years old, I started school late because I stalled
until I absolutely couldn't stall anymore. I suppose that was unwise
but the years of not being in school were worth it and I'd do it all
again. ^_^
But thanks! I'm kinda self-taught with web design. I've never thought
myself particularly good at it. Not bad, but not great either--not
enough to become part of that design elite webculture. Which is
probably good because in my experience the content leaves much to be
desired on sites like that.

I doubt it. I'm in stupid community college right now because it's so
much cheaper and closer to where I am. The classes, save for math
which I'm bad at, are all ridiculously easy and simplistic. You're in
a real school. ^_^ In the south, but still, a real school
But seriously, my ethics are bad. If I told people in school about
them I wouldn't be allowed into nursing. For example, I think someone
sick should be allowed to kill themselves. Obviously I can't and won't
practice that, but still.

It's not one of mine either, I just make up for it by being good at
science. ^^; I can understand, say, astrophysics (quantum or string)

Oh that's right. Stupid south. Religious profs shouldn't have
religions. But then with a subject like that, it's hard not to have an
agenda if you teach it, I guess.

Hey, you're covering bases! I think that's smart with an art degree.
Or anything much else, anymore. Too many people are left in the cold

Yeah, I know, but Psych has one of the highest drop-out rates, doesn't
it? I don't think many people really finish the degree, a BS in psych
is hardly worth use as toilet paper, you have to get up to a
doctorate...
That said, I don't know if I'd like it as a career anyway, I enjoy it
too much as a hobby.

Well they made the test harder recently, but RNs are usually dumb
anyway. RN isn't hard, and it pays well, especially since there's a
shortage. Some places down here offer like 12k signing bonuses for
regular RNs right out of school. Crazy.

Oh, I can agree with that. He's so adorable. First child ever that I
didn't want to kill on sight. I'd maybe have children if I knew they'd
turn out like him.

I liked Angel Sanctuary. I mean, packed with errors, and kinda silly
bishonen lovu lovu fest but PRETTY PICTURES. It's good brainless fun.
Funny though, that Lucifer was not my favorite character by a long
shot. This is a rarity.
I liked Raphael and Zaphkiel. The slut and the scientist. I'm so
predictable. ;_;

Yes. I also liked Astaroth. You know, sloth and violence and all. I
can relate! But I was totally floored by Asmodeus. I was expecting a
man/woman switchy at will kinda deal with insanely long hair or
something. Really, I mean, the last thing you expect in a
bishonen-fest is that the embodiment of lust is an older man.

Yeah, I know. How many times can you screw up Saionji's name before
someone makes you watch the original dub? But I think we're starting
to see the end of fansub devotion, the 3-day digisubs are making it

OH MY GOD IS THAT THE CAST LIST FOR HARRY POTTER OR AN ORGY OF BRITISH
SEX MANIA ;_; (All it's missing is Jeremy Irons. But I guess he can't
be in it because his voice is so sexy it's an automatic R rating.)
I just watched Hamlet last night. Kenneth Branagh singlehandedly made
me a Shakespeare fan. I long had a furious hatred of Shakespeare due
to having Romeo and Juliet, and ONLY R&J, shoved down my throat in
high school english class where no one could read it. Yeah, read it. I
can't stand reading Shakespeare, that's not what you're supposed to
do, any more than you would read a movie script. I'd love to see a
live play but Miami isn't exactly a bastion of high culture. For now,
I have Kenneth.

Something like "So why did Abraham throw out his servant and child?"

lmao... almost all of the professors think I'm not trying because
illustration is a bad bad thing if you're not at an art school... we
have "digital" people who are low because they want to work for the man
and get some friggin $$$ and then all the rest is fine arts with silly
gallery shows and wowing over abstract crap. A running joke among the
students is that if you make an ugly piece of art and say "This is a
symbol of my *input something deep and profound*" you gain 3 times more
respect for the art being real. Bah, it's all Duchamp's fault for
makign a signed urinal into art.. since that you have to be symbolic or
relate to your era to be a true artist. ~_~;;;

There's always those weird loopholes... Lucifer apparently had it to
break out... but then, did God will him to rebel to create "evil"?
Could he have been considered "Good" before "Evil" existed? Can't God
defeat evil if it is in a creature he created?

Many thought he was going to be Voldemort but they gave that to

and Dungeons and Dragons... I think he realized while filming D&D that
it was garbage and decided to act like the most horribly cliche villain

His Henry V is good too... but he's way prettier as Hamlet... yeah in HP
he acts like a man who's totally pathetic but he's idolized by all women
and worships himself.... very different and funny... he really can ham
it up when he tries. ;p
I remember everyone in my Eng classes whining over R&J in 9th grade...
At my old school, we read Hamlet in 5th grade. And then we did Julius

I guess we don't, though. If I were old and so far past my prime that I needed

In my school, Song of Solomon _did not exist_. Seriously, I didn't read it until

Ugh, you preach to the choir. I find little interesting or redeeming about
modern art. Pissed on walls and signed urinals are not art. I guess graphic
design has its equivalent. I love art snobs, though, I really do. But in a LOL
IDIOTS way, not a 'I respect this philosophy' way. OH LOOK A RED SQUARE, IT'S A
SYMBOL OF MY TWENTY-SOMETHING ANGST. Please go learn some Bouguereau or
something. I can totally respect 'thinking man's art', and not all abstract art
is bad, but most of it...you get the impression some drunk 30 year old in Soho
puked it up (sometimes literally) thinking 'lol this means nothing and someone
will pay 200k for it'...

Oh, are you? How are you liking it? I took a couple years of Latin in high
school. I _loved_ it, but it was a crappy class so I learned very little and
remember even less. ;_; I never got tired of jumbling the words all at random to
sound the coolest, because IT DIDN'T MATTER. (So cool.)
Everything sounds sexy in Italian. Everything sounds important in Latin. I like
both.

I like the idea of a genuine rebellion much better as it makes Lucifer a more
interesting character, but really I think it's more likely Lucifer was chosen to
be the evil that had to exist for free will. So there was a rebellion, but God c
reated it himself because he had to birth evil. Can a perfect being create an
imperfect being, though? God musta had a little evil in him all along...

The art style is never good except at the very end. It's more something you get

Gaiman's novels and can say with confidence that what you bought is excellent,
though I'm not sure what. (American Gods is my favorite.) I love that man.
As for the comics uh...I don't exactly own them, per say. I can't afford them,

I think he just likes to have fun playing the stereotypical kids movie villain
now and then, even if they're painful for the rest of us. (Kinda like how DeNiro
keeps doing awful comedy movies that are basically caricatures of his characters
in Raging Bull and Goodfellas.) It's probably good that he didn't get the role,
he doesn't take those movies seriously at all and he would have probably played
up the EVIL LOL thing too much...but I don't know much about HP, so I don't know
if that would have worked. But I've yet to see a serious movie he's done that I
didn't like, and I've seen a great many of them. Reversal of Fortune is one of
my absolute favorite movies _ever_.
My mother said on Inside the Actors Studio he sang a folk song about an
elephant's bottom. He used to be in a folk band back in the hippie days. Think
about that. Jeremy's voice....folk music.
D&D really did suck though. God. Thankfully I didn't see Time Machine. I decided
the makeup was too much, at least I could still stare in D&D.

The thing is, most of the WYSIWYGs produce bad HTML (except
the Microsoft ones, which produce intentionally broken HTML).
Better to have a really dull-looking page than one that's three times
the size it needs to be because a WYSIWYG tool has bloated it
up.

I think the real problem is the old "we're terrified that people
might be coerced into doing it" thing (that's leaving out the
religious considerations). Personally, I'm in favour of people
being allowed to choose when to end their own lives--provided
there are enough checks and balances (signed, witnessed
statements and mandatory cool-off periods) to prevent abuses.

<Wry grin> A friend of mine in university, who was an art major and
did representational (not abstract) art, used to say that she often
thought that her classmates spent more time thinking up excuses to
call their stuff art than they did actually painting/drawing/whatever.

Since the dot-com bubble burst, there are a lot of people like
me around who have the degree and a few years experience
already and are willing to work for relatively low salaries--new
grads wouldn't have much of a chance. I'm lucky to be
employed myself.

Zaphkiel and Katan are about tied for my favourites.
I hate the way we see so little of Katan during the
middle books.

True enough... the Eskimos have it right... doubt they can legally do it

Understandable. I hate it when i see how much DeKooning's art sells
for... omg... it's messy fingerpaint. And minimalism.. wtf... a BOX
>_< Yeah it doesn't help that most of my professors went to art school
when modernism was all they'd teach. And now, there really isn't a
movement to follow since media has expanded from 2d traditional media...
it's stretched too thin to have any sort of a focus, so the variation is
staggering.

yes, word order means nothin'! whoot. ;p The sucky thing about
studying all of this Latin, though, is that it'll do me absolutely no
good aside from giving my brain a good bit of exercise. Our language
dept. is stupid and doesn't realize how beneficial Japanese would be..

I can't think of any of his movies that I don't like... and if it is

have been a good Voldemort... believe it or not, those books are getting

This is very true. I use Macromedia Dreamweaver. Sometimes I'll clean up the
code a bit, but I'm still pretty sloppy with tables. I'm currently trying to
move on the CSS for design, but it's hard to pound a new language into my head
in the middle of school. ;_; (And naturally I chose an Akio layout to start,

I, personally, hate Flash. Sorry. ;_; I've just never seen a Flash site with

tedious navigation would make me suicidal.
There are better things to do with flash.

I don't know, I don't really see this kinda thing changing much until religion's

Yeah, if Solomon's faith was sex. But yes, a lot of it was boring. It still
stuns me that it's taboo, when really it's much lighter fare than some other
things in the Bible.
Of course, you can't talk to me about serpents, fruits, and original sin without
me making into a sex thing. But my Bible teacher said it's not!

Yeah, art is kinda just a huge horrible mess right now. I guess in time it'll
all go digital, which is fine by me, I'd just like to see this ridiculous modern
art garbage to go away. It feels wrong to trash a whole genre, I'm sure there's

How come God never wants some french silk pie? If I were God, that's what I

It makes no sense. If pride is a deadly sin, someone needs to let God in on what
it means to have a whole chorus of angels circle you and chant HOLY HOLY HOLY.

I basically have a professor who won't accept that I like to make art
without a concept behind it... unless you paint landscapes, then she'll
love you anyway. I mean, I'm a friggin writer too... that's where my
meaning comes from... writing and then creating art based on that. Even
when you aren't working in modern means, art has always been based on
set symbols. A horse sticking its head through a red curtain means
someone losing their virginity... and that happens to be the coolest of
all the many old lame art symbols... and its as though either you make
some thing that makes no sense or you make art that they can compare to
a dead artist with his symbols and brushstrokes. Screw them, I'm not
trying to make someone else's art... *sigh* Not good to go to college
for art when you despise art history.

to send Lucifer to request Lestat's assistance. Lucifer basically gives
the rundown of the history of existence. It's quite good... God is a

Quite dark.. imagine a detention where the punishment is that you write
over and over again that you won't lie (which you weren't doing) for
about 4 hours and every time you write it gets written into the back of
your hand over and over and you bleed like crazy and it hurts
horribly... yeah that's a bit of it... one of the many ways to keep the
kids in line. ;p Book 3 and on are so great because the adults come in
and there is so much slash-hinting that it makes me a happy girl... oh
and people die and it pisses off the kids that people can actually die.
I sort of want Harry dead just to anger the young fangirls.

Dreamweaver is far from the worst of the WYSIWYGs, anyway.

Well, the legit English version of the manga isn't far enough

(Admittedly, Zaphkiel has never caused me to commit bad
yaoi 'fic the way Katan has, but then the evidence indicates

Glurk. I admit, we didn't do any Shakespeare until the

in 11th), but I don't recall anyone having that much trouble
following the basic plot.

I trust that was in reference to the server--I'd hate to have

Is there anything more gross than hicks having sex? Yuck. Psycho
teachers clearly have no taste. My teacher liked mushy sweet essays
and such about happiness and joy. Bit of a hippie. I indulged him all
term until I wrote an essay comparing my office to Dante's Hell,
Milton's Hell, and Woody Allen's Hell. ^_^
I have him next term.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder if schooling is the best thing to do if
you're trying to develop a creative talent. ;_; Art doesn't need a
concept if it can stand on its own aesthetic merit, IMO. Too much
concept and too little anything I'd want to look at are half the
problem. I'd think the digital age would improve that though, since
abstract art is kinda silly on a computer. A few random button
mashings and I have abstract Photoshop art...

Ah, but I don't think he's trying to get out of the coffin. ::grin::
The nice thing about Touga fangirls is they pass out from swooning
shortly after they scream TOOOOUGA-SAAAAAAAMA. Kinda like videos of
Beatles fans from the old days.

Oh, Dante, you're such a card. I like Paradise Lost more, but I read
The Divine Comedy a loooong time ago and it was one of those
translations that tried too hard to stay poetic. Also, Paradise was
_boring_. I don't want to go to a heaven that boring. I'll stick with
limbo or something, thanks. Maybe I should give it a second chance
though, or maybe I should read Vita Nuova instead.

Yes, I've seen a lot of it. ^_^ It's graced many a desktop in my day.
I was saying I'd think digital art would discourage abstraction with
OMG DEEP MEANING. It seems to, I rarely see abstracts followed by
explanations beyond 'I used this and this.' That's the other thing I
like. There's less elitism in that the artists are usually quite
willing to share their ideas and techniques. I might be wrong on that
though, I've only seen the environment from the outside, for the most
part.

lol, that sounds kinda gross. Did he forget how to sex or how to go
potty? I know I'm a filthy animal for saying this, but I did read
Interview, and frankly, I liked the movie a lot more. ;_; Tom Cruise
is usually just kinda okay to me, but he played the hell out of the
role and I was throwing things at the screen when he 'died'. (Even
though I could tell he was coming back.)

It's long but thin. I like my long hair, even if it tends to stay in
the braid. (It's so hot down here...)

Yes. Sandman is well worth the 800 or so MB it consumes eternally on
my D drive. Someday though, it will be mine...
Did they start releasing AS locally? I think I heard they did, but I
wonder if the translation's any good. I hate when an obvious
Japanization of a non-Japanese word is translated as straight kana.
It's Belial, not Berurialu or something. My brain just explodes when
actual companies do that. ;_; (ANTHY NOT ANSHII)

_VERY_ excellent movie. Robin Williams is also in it, and if you think
he's only a comedian, that film will turn you right around. (Or you've
already seen Dead Poets Society. Everyone's seen that, right?) I think
Williams is one of the most talented actors out there, but he doesn't
get much cred because he only does movies rarely and he's more known
for his comic routine.
But DeNiro does tend to stick with certain kinds of roles. They all
do, but people seemed to notice it less in his case than in the cases
of say, Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins. It finally dawned on people in
recent years, but really he always has stuck to similar characters.

Wha? I might have to rent this now. I'll probably never get around to
reading the books, though.
Sadly, I'm not usually a book person, I'm more a movie person; the
things I pay the most attention to (voice and body language) don't
translate well to text. Of course, being that I pay attention to voice
and body language, I seriously narrow down my options in movies also,
since I require actors capable of acting that well. ;_;

Really, I had. But once I read those lines I was able to go on for
about four more. I liked Scar, mostly because he was a horrible evil
nasty jerk and I seem to like those.
When I saw Jeremy Irons for the first time, I did a double-take. The
damn cartoon looks just like him.
Funny thing: Jeremy Irons repeats in Lion King a line from Reversal of
Fortune. In Reversal, his lawyer says 'You're a very strange man.' and
he replies 'You have no idea.' Simba, I think it was, makes a similar
accusation and gets the same answer, right down to the tone of voice.
Al Pacino does this too. 'I'm just gettin' warmed up!' shows in both
Scent of a Woman and The Devil's Advocate.
I'm such a loser. ;_;

This is true. But I shouldn't talk, I have to control the urge to hop
up and down in my chair and squeal at the mention of Saionji. I'm a
Saionji fangirl. ;_; Akio evokes a slightly different reaction.
Saionji is just...eee! he so adorable.

Actually I'm on the southeast coast, so Charley (it shoulda been
Clyde) is much much closer to me. I think I'm going to be getting a

lunch, but lunch doesn't count since I don't leave the office, I just

clocked in is that I minimize the screen when the boss comes in.)

Oh my! It actually posted. ::ahem:: Well here you go.
1. Asmodeus, because I like you, you can get away with that many pimp rings and
a sword-in-a-cane. I do realize you're a walking exaggeration of the lecherous
old man stereotype.
2. ::eyeroll:: @&%!*ing feet. Why am I not surprised?
3. (pg 121) ::sigh:: I really wish he'd be more direct, I hate trying to read
between the lines. (lol ass grab)
4. Pointy ears. HE HAS POINTY EARS. Astaroth doesn't have pointy ears...
Also, some stuff I uh...stumbled..across while looking for him.
http://www.ohtori.nu/afu/Raphael/
1. We get it, man/angel/demonsluts smoke.
2. (pg 85) They're the both of them subtle like chainsaws. It's like the creepy
inversion of SKU where subtlety and suggestion are flushed and 'Wanna be my
lover?' is something you say out loud.
http://www.ohtori.nu/afu/Astaroth/
1. SO PRETTY ;_; (the outfit ;_;)
2. There's just something sexy about hot men with other peoples' blood on
them...
http://www.ohtori.nu/afu/Zaphkiel/
1. LIKE I WAS SAYING RIGHT ABOVE....
2. <3
This turned out like Angel Sanctuary's Greatest Hits According to Gio. Oops. ;_;
But really, I did just run through a couple of the books hella quick, I had an
idea of where Asmodeus was. Otherwise there'd be at least three times as many
Raphael and Zaphkiel pics and my server space would be gone.

lmao... yeah I love Dante... he made his own personal vendettas so

about is you being kicked out of Italy... we'll get those evil bastards
for you, Dante" ~_~;; Purgatory was sadly pathetic (*quit singing you

Paradise was hell... I would rather be in his Hell out of all of the
places honestly... especially because Beatrice was so damned annoying...
but it is funny how all the good saints like to dance on the sun and
sing to god... lalala. Paradise Lost is cool in the fact that Milton
was blind and recited it all from memory for his daughter to write..

lol, I was happy with the movie... but i saw it before reading the books
anyway. (Antonio Banderas certainly is not Marius... but I can
understand that in the early 90s doing a movie where a 16 year old boy
kills a naked woman and is practically kissed by Brad Pitt is kind of...
touchy) Yes, Cruise may have been too short for Lestat, he was PERFECT.
The book is trying mostly because it's a lot of reading from Louis'
perspective which requires a lot of tolerance for his whining... then
you get to Vampire Lestat where Lestat takes over and is basically
"Louis is a little bitch, so I'll show you why it rocks to be a vampire".

Shame on you. ;p The 3rd movie is coming out on dvd in November... as a
movie, it's not so good... full of plotholes and really stupid changes
with added jokes that aren't always funny... but... Oldman and Thewlis
romping is great. ^_____^

That's what's sort of painful about Azkaban... so many talented actors
but the script in this movie was poor... they gave the young girl twice
as many lines as she deserved and then when Oldman, Thewlis, and Rickman
are all together they shout out about 10 lines of dialogue (instead of
TWO CHAPTERS worth) really fast... because.. omg, we have to waste time
on big CG scenes! >_< Damn you CG. Yes, I'm a movie buff too though...
Despite all I do, my dream job would be direction.. because the elements
of music, editting, acting, lighting, cinematography, storyline, etc
together are just ... so empowering. *_*

I guess there's a reason Inferno is sometimes published on its own. The rest is
crap. Similarly, God is boring in Paradise Lost. The only vaguely interesting
version of heaven I've ever seen in fiction is Sandman/Lucifer's...I guess sin
is just more interesting. ;_; I mean, I don't wanna go to heaven and have to
sing all day.

Well yeah, Banderas didn't fit the original, but for the reasons given. Did you
know he didn't speak a _word_ of English when he filmed that?
But yeah that was much of my problem with Interview. Whining, whining, whining.
You know how much whining I would do if I was a vampire? None. Lestat had the
right idea. My mom's boyfriend _worships_ this film, he can read off entire
scenes by heart. Mostly Lestat's scenes. He's a strange guy.

Also a great movie. Birdcage is one of his comedies and really, he plays a gay

Well he does seem rather tall. But her ass also does seem rather small. I think
he was more interested in her breasts and it just turned out her ass was closer
to his hands for the groping.

EXTREMELY EXAGGERATED WHEN MEN USE IT. HOW ARE YOU THIS EVENING?
Spider sense..tingling.....what do I sense....oooh...AH HA! It's Asmodeus' turn!
http://www.ohtori.nu/afu/Asmodeus/as_v10_c01_003.jpg
Of course this one's not so much a suggestion since there's apparently a woman's
face in his lap.
The problem with studying body language is you pay as much attention to why a
specific pose is chosen in a drawing as you do to the actual drawing. ;_;
And yes, Raphael is cliche. But really a lot of the characters in AS are
painfully cliche. That's kinda part of the fun. Nothing to think about, just
pretty pictures.

I looked up Spacey on imdb and they have totally no info on his sexual

gay though. Kline is the man... I still salute In&Out... it was the

overload with about 5 shows revolving around homosexuality... Damnit,
stupid trends ruin a nice thing.

I wouldn't really count it since God isn't there, and he seems to be

Yeah, they're taking a good thing and dragging it into the ground. As
for Spacey, you won't find much on relationships since he doesn't talk
about it and no one bothers him about it. He took him mom to the
Oscars one year, though. XD

I might be wrong but psychological abuse done simply for pleasure and
amusement is a bit worse than physical abuse done in desperation and
fear. I mean they're both bad, but really, it's almost comical that
people will forgive Akio before Saionji. I don't get it. ;_;

Asmodeus looks shagged out, actually. I don't think he's getting a
blowjob, I think he just got one. ;_;
Then again, wouldn't surprise me. Some guys are so compulsive about
being composed during sex.

Yes, same kinda learned character. Citan's much more like him though

Yes. I have the first three volumes. Didn't notice any

Well, he did have a relationship with that scientist, didn't he?

He's not boring he's nuts. ;p Crazy God and Metatron and all... what a

Yes, heaven's a lot more interesting when you give it human attributes. The idea
of it being this shiny perfect place of holy worship bores the hell out of me.

Oh, I do indeed remember them. Stupid lecherous teachers. I had a counselor that
seemed more interested in me than the cheerleaders though. This, I suppose,
would stand to reason since cheerleaders are insanely boring to listen to and I
would say very strange things. Still, it never ceased to annoy me how Dumb
Cheerleader 28610 would get the same A I got, simply on merit of her short
skirt. FU** YOU, MR. THOMAS.

You know what they did with Fushigi Yuugi? Well they shoulda done it with Angel
Sanctuary instead, since I actually like the latter. Just did an insanely long
TV series, too many characters for an OAV.

Xenogears is _very_ different from Xenosaga, it's a much better game, but
Xenosaga kicked a TON of ass and the only reason I haven't sold my PS2 is
because I'm waiting for XS2. ;_;
Play Xenogears only if you're patient (looong game), like story telling (there
is more text in XG than in War & Peace), and enjoy religious references. Lots of
it. Like Evangelion levels here, except with the addition of tons of references
to Jung and to a lesser extent, Freud.
Also, XG has a few boss battles and dungeons that will make you want to snap the
discs in half. DIE TOWER OF BABEL (I did mention religious references yes?)

awwww... yeah shiny heaven sucks... I randomly made the comment to my

to heaven because the weather was so nice after having two months of
rain and heat. And she, thinking I'm crazy for not being a devout
Catholic and finding religion rather funny, snapped back about "oh are

That sounds lovely. horrible bosses are why I never end games. After I
get my ass kicked 5 times that game goes away for a loooong time. Thank

wouldn't have gotten to play against the sexiness that is Ansem.

Well if you've gotta burn your time, I think he's got the right idea. Of course
Astaroth watches people bleed and get tortured, I doubt that's really boring

Mwahahaha... I loved reading that Ikuhara hated it because it totally
ignored the point of the series (granted, he originally wanted Utena to
be a highly marketted mahou shoujo show like Sailormoon... and then they
almost made them duel with guns instead of swords...) Dios should give
anyone nightmares. Now Akio, she was funny because even with huge shoes
she was shorter than Utena. o.o But Akio's song is so damn cool... and

Albedo does this whole thing where he shoves his hand in MOMO's stomach to

I don't get it! If she's all hardcore Christian she shouldn't be okay
with oral sex before marriage. She should be screaming and kicking.

Luckily he'd have little interest in the rest of us, lol. Of course

Who demons? They're hot? So? (I know, I know) I guess it would be a
little too dark for most. But then SKU isn't exactly happiness and

I've never been to a con, so I'm really far behind the times. I was
supposed to go to the BAAF when Ikuhara was there but then 9/11
happened. ;_;

Nah, it was hilarious. (Kinda hot.) MOMO is an android but she's
designed to look like a little girl, so it is sorta pedo, but Albedo
makes such an adorably creepy pleasure face.

All I know about it is Sephiroth gets a new outfit and looks hot but I
understand is voice acted by a Backstreet Boy or something.

Her spin on god and the devil is pretty good... I found little to argue
with, she did a good enough job explaining herself. The only sad thing
is that we get little fun romping time in that book... and by then,
Lestat's (and other vampire's) interest in being endeared to random
special humans gets annoying... as though a new chick gets introduced
for the hell of it... but she's not in it much so that's good.

Oh it's worse... but it at least isn't just about recap episodes.... HYD
has flashbacks constantly going because it is from one character's

that it matters, it means I get to see Doumyouji with no shirt more

KareKano... stupid Gainax.

Same here... this is why I've watched not much of anything that's come

tricked the viewer with episodes about fleeing animals and curry and

Angel *was* a good series. I think the earlier seasons needed work,
definitely, but the fourth and fifth seasons were excellent
(especially after they finally managed to write out the two most
annoying characters)--very well written, wonderful character
development, good acting, good symbology, good pacing, lovely balance
of drama and humor, with strong beautiful women and handsome broody
men.
And of course, that was why the WB took them off the air. It stopped
being sucky, so they had to get rid of it to preserve their image.

Cardboard cars? I just got this insanely cheesy mental image of an

people make the fake horses and such in plays. Then, movie Akio never

Good lord yes. Very dull. But I pay more attention to the rest of the

It's not really a series, it's kinda a mini-novel with illustrations.

Yes, it never flies into Touga's face and mouth. In reality that's the
first place it goes. Several feet of hair packed into your mouth if
you try to do something silly like talk.
It must be nice to always have your hair blow in the right direction.

That's basically how I feel about it. Apparently it keeps me out of a
lot of good stuff, since I've never really been able to watch Angel,
Buffy, or DS9, but I have a really short attention span for anything
but movies. ;_; Movies I'm more likely to finish out of spite and
desire to say OMG THAT SUCKED.

Well, I think Anthy also has black hair, and I think Wakaba's and
Jury's hair is only highlighted... (I like how they did Jury's hair
though, it looked nice). But you're right, Utena's hair particularly
stands out as... nothing like what it's supposed to look like (I don't
even think they layered it).

Yeah, how come we never see hair blowing at his hair from behind so it
flies into his face and into his mouth and nostrils? How come Akio
NEVER has bad hair from driving at ridiculously high speeds in the
convertible?
It's just not fair. After a convertible ride I look like the Tazmanian
Devil.

To be completely honest, I just skipped the beginning and went
straight to the end of season four, actually ^^. The first full
episode I sat through was toward the end of that season, and it was
largely because two characters from Buffy that I liked were
guest-starring (Buffy was also a series that I couldn't get into at
the beginning, but liked the later episodes). I was impressed enough
to I continue watching it, and it continued to get better every
episode.
Of course, the WB noticed this alarming trend and promptly axed it.
I watch re-runs of old Angel while I'm at the gym (the cardio machines
have cable TV... bribe the couch potatoes to exercise by giving them
TV... it works...)... the earlier episodes are much more hit and
miss--quite frankly, a lot of them I simply find boring--the pacing is
horrendous, too much Angel wallowing in his own angst and doing
nothing about it, so I'm not surprised if the ones you happened upon
weren't impressive.
>>This is true. WB has never produced anything worth watching that

> I love how every show basically has a one or two word title.
That's why "Birds of Prey" got canceled. It had one too many words in
it. (Well, that and even they had to admit it sucked)
Although really, are there that many shows on American TV that have
lengthy titles? It makes sense to have something short and sweet...
I mean, actually, anime titles sometimes drive me crazy. "Long
Distance Mega-Romance Space Adventure Android Yumi 3000 X" and
whatnot. People always end up abbreviating the long titles to shorter
stuff anyway; might was well make it short to begin with.

lol. See there's Shinji who whines a lot (sure he has a little reason
to but he needs to get over his not having his dad's love)... then
there's Rei who has a massive following but she has absolutely no
personality so it floors me how many fans she has... Asuka, I don't mind
Asuka... perhaps it's because she's the only person not being monotone
most of the time. Of course Misato and Kaji are great. The only
episodes I particularly liked were the humorous ones (synchronization
lol) and really impressive dramatic ones (specifically, Kaworu). The
ending sucked so much.... though I know a couple of people who thought
it was brilliant. I do appreciate all of the symbolism and Christian
imagery but when many people say "force yourself to sit through the
first 2 volumes and it'll be worth it"... I find it hard to appreciate
everythign I see. ^^

I caught one episode set in a flashback which occurred after he found a

You know, you wouldn't think Akio a jazz type. It's too often improvised, and
he's not an improv kinda guy. Or maybe that's why, it's opposite to how he does
things. Or I'm reading too far into it.

It's because she's soooo hot and guys get the impression it would be okay to
rape and abuse her. As for me, I like the idea of what she is, aside from that
she's about as interested as a sea cucumber.
> Asuka... perhaps it's because she's the only person not being monotone
I didn't like her as much in the series, she was more fun in the movie. (Not
really the right word for it, but she really does go out in style.) But
psychologically speaking, she's one of my faves of the bunch.
> most of the time. Of course Misato and Kaji are great. The only

I loved them both. ^_^ I was also quite fond of Fuyutsuki. It had nothing to do
with his hair color, I like the backstory between him and Gendo.

Very understandable. I'm just addicted to character studies, it's why I love SKU
so much. The hot guys are nice, but had it not been for the characterization, I
probably would have watched it a couple times, enjoyed it, and shelved it.
Evangelion's a lot less hard on the development, which is why it's not the one I
have a site for. ^^ It still way outdoes most anime though.

I watched the whole thing.
You don't like CLAMP? ....we might be alone in the world. I can't stand their

YES.
I was cheering for Nakago when he was going to rape her. That's how much I
disliked her. I was like I HOPE HE USES A POISON TIPPED CONDOM. (So he doesn't
poison himself, of course.) You know, like in Hamlet except with penises and not
a swordfight. I'm not sure where I'm going with this except I really hate Miaka.

I guess the Japanese suck at being brief? They're learning though, what with
this trend of 13 episode mini-series. I don't like this trend, but then they
seem to have a hard time filling out 26 episodes anymore.

At Otakon I found someone--NOT Akio, I didn't recognize the anime--who
was being pulled around in a little wagon shaped like a red sportscar.
I thought it was hilarious, and thought doing something like that with
an Akio cosplay would be very amusing. Especially if you have a Touga
cosplayer pulling the wagon, shouting, "Come with us to the world you
desire!" with Akio inviting people in for rides.

Well yeah, it is GAINAX. ;p I just tend to want to really like the
characters who are so deep.. but Shinji annoys me, Rei is docile, Asuka
screams a lot and majorly screwed up, Misato is a drinking partygirl,
Ritsuko wants to follow in her mother's footsteps, Kaji is friggin cool,
Gendo is twisted and overbearing, and Kaworu is better than all of
them. And of course each has a breakthrough or two... honestly I was
more compelled by the development of the story... it didn't develop
enough... and I was somewhat interested in the characters... but they
didn't develop "sanely" enough... (lots of screams don't mean much after
a while)... but yes it was terribly pretty .

I like most of their series because most of them are rather dark... I
adore Card Captor Sakura (amazing character development, every type of
pairing under the sun), X/1999 and Tokyo Babylon (angst, yaoi, blood,
apocalypse, yay), RG Veda (Hindu deities, blood, angst, yaoi, great
characters), Angelic Layer was decent but basically was a CCS clone
mashed together with a dueling anime... and it was the precursor to
Chobits .. but the way they did that manga was really lovely. MKR,
Chobits, and CLAMP Campus Police - gag. Lawful Drug is looking decent
but I've never read it.... Their new series Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
is a nice merging of all of their characters.

I despise them.. perhaps the first was good enough to sit through... but
they drag for me like no tomorrow. My friend who read the books assured
me I wouldn't hate the books as much with all the slash and

That's true. He all of a sudden has a whole lotta hair at the end.
Course, Utena gets that particular trick in the movie. Look, no hair!

Oh, the rabid Angel fans are still livid over it, and will be for some
time, I think. I think the WB lost a good bunch of viewers for good
over that.
That, and in the final episode, they put this disgustingly sappy,
disgusting, and insulting "Thanks to Angel from the WB for all the
years..." Gag a maggot.

Ooh! Ooh! Was it one of the ones where he does the horrible imitation
of a Scottish accent! Those ones always make me laugh.
I think the final season, in addition to being devoid (mostly) of the
two annoying characters, also completely lacked in cheesy flashbacks,
which again improved its quality immensely.

Wow. And the premiere was the best episode they made.... says
something dunnit.
The tragedy of the BoP TV series was two fold:
1) From a comic fan's perspective, it was simple: they saw a comic
book that was increasingly growing in popularity, analyzed what made
the comic book so popular, and went out of their way to make sure none
of that actually got worked into the TV series. (Because the comic
book premise would make a frikkin' awesome and probably quite
successful TV series.)
2) From a non comic-fan, plain old TV viewer's perspective: the show
actually had a lot of potential--it set up some very interesting
plotlines, setting, and themes, and then failed on fulfilling the
promise, opting for cheesy monster of the week episodes instead.
So basically what you had was something that *could* have been a
really great series.
Except the WB produced it, and they wouldn't know potential if it
threw up on their shoes.
So instead it was a flat, incongruous, loophole-filled, two
dimensional festival of cleavage and leather.
And there's plenty of cleavage and leather elsewhere.
I'll stop ranting now.

Network executives do too much nose candy to pay attention to long titles.

If you didn't like LoTR because it was dragging for you, don't read
the books, you'll have the same problem. The books are a long haul for
most people, I love them though. ^^

RG Veda is practically shounen... Tokyo Babylon and X/1999 are rather
gay to be shoujo. ;P CCS, well yeah that is a girl's series, but most
guys who see it like it too... You just end up loving every character in
it. And all of the above have at least one andrgynous character! :P
Don't let Chobits scare you away. ;p Have you seen the X movie? Sure
it removed every bit of depth from the books but it was damned
beautiful. The TV series is almost the opposite, too much development
and not enough style.

No wonder you dislike the series... at least the OAV became more
manageable because she quit being so talkative and pathetic. Damn shame
since there are so many good characters in the series. It's funny
because FY was the first series I saw other than Sailormoon,... and it
was just the 1st volume. At first I liked Miaka because compared to
Usagi she was at least a take-charge character instead of one who kept
crying... and then, I saw all of the series and that changed quite
quickly. That's what you get when ChibiUsa's voice actress does a lead
character. ^^;;
>I did like the omake bits from the OAVs, though...

OMG... the bus trip is one of the funniest things I've ever seen "A
NAIL!?!" And then the war between Taiitsukun and Ren's seiyuu was
hilarious... They even made jokes about Taka which I liked since
Takahomeboy (as my anime friends have dubbed him... it covers both
personas and insults him at the same time) is not a favorite character
of mine either. Take a good character and make him obsessively in
love... Watase really needs to get out doing that sort of thing...and
then making wonderful characters like Nuriko, Tasuki, and Hotohori lose
points by making them fall in love with her too... Nuriko's feelings
were totally wrong... Nuriko is gay, despite his childhood... Tasuki,
well he was possessed... Hotohori, the poor guy was given that bullshit
story since he was a kid.. and then, with a pregnant wife at home he
stupidly gets his ass killed for Miaka... SHEESH ~_~

Not really. I'm not the "artist persona" by nature but the one on the

through creating things and improving... most artists can just react to
everything but I'm not an emotion-based artist at all.
