Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna, in die illa tremenda

I've spent the last few days searching frantically for spoilers, to see if MatsuJun made even the smallest appearance. Because IT'S NOT GOKUSEN WITHOUT SAWADA SHIN.

( SPOILERS!! )

In other news, TRIPLE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

In keeping my Oguri Shun theme... I remembered I never wrote my Gokusen 1 SP thing. I don't feel like writing it now, but I felt the need to upload some of the awesomest Shun caps ever.


Oh Shun, with the crazy hair!

( One of the best scenes ever )

I hate watching dramas that are streamed. The quality is gross, and I always forget that they're not in VLC, and try to pause them using the space bar (yes, I know this works on online videos too, but I always somehow screw it up, and bad things happen).

I'm willing to suffer for Boys Before Flowers, though.

Observations;

( episode 1 )
- Why do they always say "fighting!", it's cute and all, but WHY?!
( more... )
- Mmm. Joon Pyo is hot. I approve.
- Oh God, Rui.
- The blonde, the violin, the white suit. I'm in love (again). Whether the character be Rui, Lei, or Ji Hoo... I'll always love him.
( ...and more )
- OMG Rui-gasm! Kim Hyun Joong totally IS acting like Shun-kun! It's weird... but I like it. And dear God is that boy fine. It's too bad he's 2 1/2 years younger than. Not that that's terribly weird. I wish I were 2 1/2 years younger than I am now. Mmmmm 22.
- Ginger has an amusing american accent when she speaks english. It's like she learned how to speak english by listening to "Valley Girl" over and over and over again (btw, that's a Zappa reference, not the Nic Cage film)
( ...and even more )
- HAHAHA Domyoji! I love him so much! He's so scary at first, but he's a total dork!
- Jan Di is super awesome. They just egged and floured her, and she's thinking of the pancakes those eggs and flour could have made.
( ...and yet some more )

Well that ended rather abruptly... Are they really airing it every night? Oh, no, only Monday and Tuesday. That's kinda a weird schedule. Whatever.

So yes, I highly enjoyed it (as if I WOULDN'T enjoy it).
( summary of my thoughts )

You know, I can't seem to remember Meteor Garden all that well. Either that, or I'm getting it REALLY confused with HYD...a rewatch is needed.

*sigh* Exhausted. I stay up too late watching dramas. It's supposed to snow a fair amount tonight, and God I hope I don't have work tomorrow *wishes*!

And I know I said I was going to post my HYD Final review today, unfortunately I forgot my work computer at my house, so I couldn't type it up during the day. Sooo it'll be later on. Soon though.

As I mentioned Friday, the power is out at my house (well, the power is out all across Massachusetts and New Hampshire (Note, in that CNN article, they randomly mention Westford, where I live...))

We've been staying at my sister's apartment, for the time being. It's been... chaotic, to say the least. In four rooms (and one bathroom) we have 8 people. Not to mention five cats, and my hamster...

But onto other news... I've been watching Gokusen (season 1), and reading two new series; Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden, and Captive Hearts.

Gokusen is adorable, and Jun-kun has infinitely better hair in it than he did in HYD 1 (I honestly don't remember his hair in HYD 2, but I remember it was better than HYD 1 at least). I'm only on episode 4, so I can't really speak for the series yet, but I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

FYGK is really good. I never read FY, but I did watch the anime ages ago. Anyway, I'm quite enjoying the story, but am depressed that it ends sadly. I'm also heavily heavily amused that the male protagonist is kinda a hermaphrodite (key word, KINDA). I'm only up to volume 4.

Captive Heart(s) is cute too! I got interested for twe reasons; one of the characters speaks Mandarin in it, and the mangaka is the same lady who did Vampire Knight. So yeah.

I'm going to watch The Rose too (thank God for youtube in times like these... as much as I prefer downloads, streaming sites can be quite useful.
