barbecued

Paku Romi cancelled at the last minute (something to do with her passport?), but that was okay since it freed up time for me to get into the CLAMP line. The panel was scheduled to start at 2 and when I got in line at 11:30, the line had stretched the length of the hall and a second row was starting. Despite that (and the fact seating didn't start until 2:30), I got a pretty okay seat, meaning I was near the center and could see the CLAMP women's faces. There were huge video screens and the emcee was Riza Hawkeye's dub actress. She was there because she's now the director for the Tsubasa anime dub. Apparently, Funimation and DelRey were the main sponsors for the CLAMP appearance.

( And you could tell. )

The Nakajima Atsuko panel was on Monday, and after the CLAMP panel, the room seemed positively empty. It was open Q&A and there were a lot of questions about specific series (most i've not seen) and stuff like why does she draw so damn pretty. It's all her btw, not the series director. And of course, Ban and Ginji were brought up. She said they were "good friends." *entire room lols* Her favorite Get Backers character is Kazuki *lone kazuki cosplayer w00ts* and her favorite from Trinity Blood is Trez *hee*. She said she grew up a fan of a lot of manga/anime and was going to go into commercial design when she decided to go with something more related to anime. No particular manga series she would like to work on as an anime. She only just finished work on Princess Princess so no, she wasn't working on anything at the moment. There isn't any particular medium she likes to use, she prefers to mix and try different things out. I didn't win a signed sketch but I got an autograph and she signed my copy of her artbook. There's a ♥ ehe~

WHAT?

Now FIRE'S been shot!?

Red Rocket got it too, but FIRE!?
At least with Dmitri, it was set up, but the thing with Fire came out of nowhere!

......

And now fucking MARY'S involved?!?!?

Does Brother I hate the SuperBuddies that much!?


later: WHAT?! Firestorm was killed off too?! OH COME ON!!



totally unrelated: dub!Yukito = Krypto. WTF XD XD
and apparently, the 2nd CCS movie had a different dub cast.

omg this game is so morbid and fun. XD

Girl on bike hits hot boy to see how far he'll go. Other girls along the way help by punching him and calling him pervert and others may hinder his trip.

You choose the angle & power at which the bishounen flies by clicking and holding the mouse button, and depending on who he hits, you click for a boost or get slowed down. Watch out for specials that send him flying 100m into the air. XD

Highest I got is 8441.82 meters.


random: Should anyone tell the X fandom that it's not "onmyoujitsu" as you see in millions of fanfic but actually "onmyoujutsu"? *just took a close look at vol. 8* ehehehehe....

also: I did not know Kimeru did a Yu-gi-oh opening theme. o_o

EEEEEEH!?!?!?

Clamp started another series!?

It's Kobato, about a girl named Hanato Kobato, and her talking stuffed animal doggie, Ioryogi-san, who is irate.

It's more of the usual Clamp finding-happiness thing. ....judging from the eyes, I think Clamp's doing shoujo again.

Anyway, already there's a cameo: Mihara Chitose, Icchan's wife!
apparently, Kobato's living at her apartment. i don't see hideki though.

Kobato ends up helping out a kindergarten/daycare? teacher, Okiura Sayaka (she's pretty:D), and meets her mysterious rescuer from the day before, the assistant Fujimoto Kiyogasu. He has pink hair and is bitchy. :D

....he kinda looks like Hikaru from Angelic Layer if you look at him for too long. o_o

added: Ah, light!Chi and dark!Chi are living with Chitose too! Except they're younger and have human ears (and are named Chiho and Chise). But there's apparently a "Papa" too?!?! OMG ICCHAN!!1!

Nagayan (tenimyu!Eiji) says about Kimeru: From his appearance, I didn't know if he was a man or a woman (don't get mad).

Kimeru's comment: ...come to the bathroom for a little bit.


*nosebleeds and DIES*


Saiyuki-related: Oh god. 24 Candles is the best Saiyuki fic EVAR. Soooo funny, oh god soooooooooo funny.
But then the surprise ending with Kougaiji! OMG it is fantastic. *dies laughing*
Go read it now! No matter how long it takes, it so worth it!

also: Ooooh! Saiyuki wallpaper available at Minekura Kazuya's site in the specials section. It is pritty.

random: holy fuck, the Clamp women are pretty! O_O
speaking of Clamp, OMG lookit this cute puppy!!1!! squeeeeee!! XP

After this week's PoT, there's a short thing on the movie and

WTF?! THERE'S AN ECHIZEN RYOGA?!?!?

WHO WILL THEN BE RYOMA'S RIVAL?!?!

AN OCEAN LINER'S INVOLVED!!!1!

please let this be an example of the director's crack sense of humor.

(....ooh, sanada and atobe will be in the movie)

Also
( X-related crack-fic: now edited! )

Got Del Rey Manga's RESERVoir CHRoNicle Tsubasa and XXXholic today.

O_O

And I'm completely satisfied. The translations are exact, sound effects are translated and edited in well, there's no part where the english sounds weird....

There are no faults. THERE ARE NO FAULTS.

*dies from the miracle*

To detox from the previous one, this doujinshi is just too cute. waaaai~ kawaii~
