So. Kuro in English, anyone?
Oct. 9th, 2010 10:01 pmI for one am going to be verrrry happy this January. Because that's when Kuroshitsuji is being released in English.
I am very afeared.
I can't find anything on the guy who plays Grell. Not much on Ciel's VA either (and how did I know that she played Miharu as well?).
And Sebastian? Oh. My. Sebastian is being played by Kyoya's (Ouran HSHC) English VA. As well as Doumeki's from xxxHolic.
KYOYA IS SEBASTIAN, HOLY CRAP.
Reeeally nervous about this casting. We shall see. xD;;;

Sep. 26th, 2010 01:54 amSpoilers for the end of the season; not that I know if anyone watches the series/reads these posts, so...yeah.
HG, HG...*sigh* I am so disappointed in you. I really liked her character from the beginning, and the whole destroy-the-human-race thing felt completely out of the blue and OOC.
And okay, I admit, I have been enjoying watching theromantic tension between Helena and Myka. Come on. They've been making it so blatant since the start of season two, I was just waiting for a surprise kiss of the Kara and Dahlia (Legend of the Seeker) variety. But no, it looks like they're just going to go the obvious way of having Myka and Pete end up together. Now that Kelly's conveniently out of the picture. Endlessly disappointing.
And ooh, was that ending supposed to be shattering or something? Give me a break. Does anybody really buy that Myka isn't going to come back?
Despite probably sounding like I hated it, I actually enjoyed the majority of the episode. Looking forward to season three, and hoping they don't bring HG back as a recurring character. I feel like that would just cheapen everything that's happened. :(

'Cause, yanno, I just caught up with everything. Spoilers ahead. Lots of rambling, which (in all likelihood) nobody will read.
Kuroshitsuji II--Okay, wow. I mean, wow. I am sincerely glad that I am not one of the fandom who watches the anime instead of the manga. Because if I had nothing to fall back on after that ending, I think I'd be rather crushed. I mean, I knew what was going to happen (this is what happens when I wait too long to watch the new episode..), but still. Alois's death left me feeling less miserable than I thought it would. Don't get me wrong, I love the kid (sociopathic tendencies and all), but at least he was happy in the end. Couldn't care less about Hannah. Claude...here I thought I hated Claude, but I was actually a little bit sad when he bit it. Alois's scream at that point just plain hurt. Seeing Alois in general hurt, but it was nice that he was around for a little longer.
AND CIEL. OMG. Demon!Ciel is a twist I never saw coming. The ending of the episode...by the time Kalafina started playing and Sebastian was handing out Ciel's death notices, I felt like my insides were being clawed out. I felt bad for everybody! Stab us in the heart and then TWIST the knife with 'Kagayaku Sora no Shijima Ni wa', for crying out loud. And man, does it suck to be Sebastian. xDD Their whole dynamic has changed less than I thought it would, given everything. And the idea of Sebastian being Ciel's butler for all eternity...grim and romantic and creepy, all at once. Perfect choice of last line. Ultimately, I don't think things could have ended any better-which makes me verrry curious to see what Yana Toboso will do with the manga.
Speaking of which, new Kuro chapter. Yay. Loved the intro page (demonic!Sebby and littledevil!Ciel FTW), and the way the after-chapter color page worked with Alois's from the last chapter. On the subject of the chap itself, I liked seeing how everything fell together. A little bit of demon Sebastian never hurts anything. And srsly, has Ciel been flirting with the Wordsmith since he entered the manor or what? xD I'm interested to see what the next story arc will bring...
New Naruto chapter. Canon KonanxYahiko? LE GASP! Actual canon-y evidence of a het pairing! Something we haven't seen since Asuma and Kurenai, yes? (Unless you count Konan and Nagato, which..I guess I don't.)
Madara's new mask. Excuse me while I LOL forever. That is so bad. I'm kinda glad he got the battle fan back, though. And what was with "They were mine to begin with"? Please tell me Madara isn't actually the Sage or something; my respect for this series will plummet drastically if that is the case. -.-; So where is Sasuke during all this, anyway? Just lying in bed somewhere, wearing a blindfold and cackling maniacally to himself?
And Hetalia. Yes, I finally gave in. Haven't watched the anime yet, but there is apparently a manga now (volume one is out, anyway). I loved it. Italy is so *cute*. Holy Rome and Chibi Italy are so *cute*. America and England at the end of the Revolutionary War is pretty sad, actually...and *cute*. OMR. I am so following this series now. xD
*end rambling that nobody will actually read*

argument for itashi
Aug. 9th, 2010 11:56 amSo, I just figured this out. You tell me if it was obvious or not...
Narutopedia says this: 'The Mangekyō Sharingan is acquired through the death of the person closest to the Sharingan user.' Right. And who did Itachi kill for the Mangekyo? Shisui. Right.
Let me get this straight. Itachi loved Sasuke more than Konoha. But he loved Shisui more than Sasuke? Otherwise, wouldn't he have had to kill Sasuke?
The final nail in the coffin, IMHO, is Madara's (in?)famous "lover" statement. He used the word 'koibito', which is gender-neutral. And if Itachi cared for anyone more than his little brother, wouldn't you think it'd be his lover?
Bottom line: ItaShi is CANON, baby. Have I overlooked something relevant or is this a valid conclusion?
-End procrastination. (Srsly, though, the whole Mangekyo thing is important research for my Exchange piece!...No, really!...)-
