Kimi ga Nozomu Eien

As a random detour in my epic Inuyasha marathon, I watched all of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, and enjoyed it intensely. It was one of those rare creatures: an anime that is truly meant for adults.

I tend to read/watch mostly shoujo, because it's cute, and adorable, and romantic. In general I shy away from shounen (or any male oriented types) because they don't appeal to me as much. Obviously there are exceptions. I love Inuyasha intensely, and I've watched enough Fullmetal Alchemist to enjoy it (and then there are the animes that are shoujo, but have the shounen element to them).

But the point is, most shoujo start to bore the hell out of me after awhile. The girls are generally SO stupid, and indecisive, and just ehhhhh. Eventually I just want to punch them.

I did have this issue with some parts of Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Haruka bothered the hell out of me most of the time. I adored Mitsuki from the first moment, but sometimes even she bothered me (though I still don't understand why, apparently, a lot of people hate Mitsuki and adore Haruka. I figure it's a cultural thing).

BUT what I did love was the presentation of the relationships. Nothing was perfect, there was some violence (plot related of course), and OMG actual sex. Overall it was a VERY good anime.

I've recently been trying to find more adult oriented animes. I wish they had made Red River into an anime. That was a great manga, and like, exactly what I'm looking for in an anime. (Red River is forever known to me as the anime I bought soley for the fact that later volumes had a sticker on it that stated no one under 18 could buy it... which naturally means the story gets good)

Oh! I almost forgot to mention. I told my mother about my Korea trip today, and how I was thinking of going for 5 days, and she was all like "you should definitely stay longer"... Obviously my mom wants me to go faraway, and doesn't love me anymore ;P
I actually have thought about making a sidetrip to Taiwan for Chinese New Years, but that would involve traveling for three weeks, which I do not want to do.

Big Bang stuffs

I finally got around to mailing the Big Bang calendars I promised people!

ambergold, lukiaw, and mamarocker_83, you should hopefully get them sometime this week or early next week. I folded the calendars into thirds, and not through the picture, so it shouldn't be that bad!

princess_dexter, I'm going to have to mail yours tomorrow. I got all the way to the post office, and was ABOUT to mail it, when I realized I might need to fill out a customs form (I'm still confused about that, and should ask...), and I just didn't have the time. So.... tomorrow! But I have the tube and stuff all ready ;D

Awhile ago I ordered this G-Dragon hoodie (in black, of course. I don't wear white), and I'm super excited to get it. Someday. I don't know when it'll be shipped, but whenever it does it will be awesome. I wanted the G-Hood, or the Heartbreaker hoodie, but at around $90USD?! And hell, I kinda like the unofficial one better anyway.

Weird thing though: YesStyle thinks I'm in Japan. It won't let me access the site, because it's for foreigners only. But wtf yesstyle, I'M A FOREIGNER! *sigh*

(no subject)

I swear there must be something wrong with me.

Today I've eaten at around six clementines, an entire pommelo, and a navel orange. Why the citrus overload, body? I don't even know.

At least I won't get scurvy.

(In other news, I started Paradise Kiss, and while it's still a little early to tell for sure, I think I LOVE it)
