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

So I watched the first episode of Peach Girl, and it was cute, and I liked it. BUT I'm having issues with Kairi's voice. Apparently I don't really like how Suzumura Ken'ichi is doing his voice (he does Shin in Gokusen as well... I haven't seen anime Gokusen yet, but I hope he does it better than he does Kairi). I'm a very audio centric person, so voices matter a lot to me.

Which got me thinking, which seiyuu do I like?

♥ Okiayu Ryotaro as Yuu in Marmalade Boy
♥ Seki Tomokazu as Van in Escaflowne
♥ Nakata Jōji as Folken in Escaflowne (If that dude came up to me, and spoke in his Folken voice, I'd totally be like "Take me now!")
♥ Kanna Nobutoshi as Tasuki in Fushigi Yuugi (TASUKI!! I love Tasuki SO MUCH! Tamahome should be my favorite Suzaku Seishi, but he isn't. Tasuki is!)
♥ Miyashita Naoki as Domyoji in Hana Yori Dango
♥ Yamamoto Koji as Rui in Hana Yori Dango
♥ Miyano Mamoru as Zero in Vampire Knight, and Sho in Skip Beat!
♥ Konishi Katsuyuki as Ren in Skip Beat!
♥ Nagata Akira as Otani in Love Com
♥ Inoue Marina as Kyoko in Skip Beat!
♥ Sakamoto Maaya as Hitomi in Escaflowne (Maaya's my favorite female seiyuu of all time. I LOVE her a ton. Yakusoku wa Iranai from Escaflowne is one favorite songs of all time. I have it memorized in BOTH Japanese and English...)
♥ Koyasu Takehito as Aya in Weiß Kreuz, and Hotohori in Fushigi Yuugi (Aya's probably my second favorite anime character of all time, after Kei-kun from Marmalade Boy)

The whole seiyuu thing got me thinking about Weiß Kreuz, how much I loved it, and how I never actually finished it. I should download it again. Then I started watching a bit on youtube, and heard the BEST interpretation of Weiß Kreuz ever;
"It's like Charlie's Angels, except with Bishonen!"

IT IS!!

Speaking randomly of Bishonen, anyone else remember Pocket Bishonen? Apparently the site is back up, but the old content is gone. I remember I had the original submissions for Miwa Satoshi (Marmalade Boy), and Dryden Fassa (Escaflowne). I remember being super upset that someone else had submitted Kei-kun (Marmalade Boy) first. I love Kei-kun. I also had submitted a bunch of trainer badges. In fact, I think I had a large amount of trainer badges. I remember I was on fairly good terms with the webmistress too...

I also totally just rewatched the Boku wa Imoto Ni Koi O Suru OVA again... It's really kinda disturbing how much I love that damn story

And then I rewatched a bit of the HYD anime, and I had totally forgotten about the kinda-lesbian school nurse who was friends with Tsubaki! God, that anime was great...

Random: Basmati rice is my favorite, but it's really not the best thing to use when making onigiri... Oh! That reminds me! I saw a bag of Basmati rice at the grocery store the other day, and it said "INDIAN RICE" on it, yet it was decorated with Chinese characters...

Um, apparently I'm the only person in the world who doesn't really like Corgis. I mean, it's not like I hate them or anything, but I'd never choose to have one on purpose. I don't think they're all that cute. Chihuahuas, on the other hand, well, those are the cutest most best dog in the whole entire world.

And now onto the important stuff...

I watched the most recently subbed episode of Skip Beat!, and sooo cute, Kyoko dressed up like a giant chicken! It was very "Fated to Love You" of her... or rather, since Skip Beat was published prior to the filming of Fated to Love You, the scene in FtLY was reminiscent of Skip Beat... I think I read something sometime about controversy about how FtLY "stole" the chicken thing from Skip Beat... Regardless, chicken costumes make everything better.

Am watching Love or Bread right now... so far it's adorable!

( Love or Bread )

I can tell I'm really going to like this drama (... don't I say that about all dramas?). So far it's rather silly and slapstick-ey (which, while I appreciate and enjoy, is not my ideal drama format), but I can tell from the credits/previews it will be getting more serious. Ariel and Joe have such great chemistry, so I'm sure the romantic part will be good. Plus, Bryant Chang is in it, and I adored him in Love Contract.

I meant to write a short entry, and then get back to Vampire Knight, but was foiled by iconage. And thus, I HAD to get some icons from the three animes I've recently become obsessed with (fyi-> Love Com, Skip Beat, and Vampire Knight. Pattern? They're all shoujo? I SO did not know that! )

So, short post re Vampire Knight;

Dear God do I love Zero soooooo much. As I've stated before, he is totally made of awesome. And it's so sad because he's so obviously in love with Yuuki, and poor Yuuki so doesn't know, and is totally being the girl who inadvertently flirts with a guy she's not really interested in. *sigh* I'm conflicted, because I totally adore Kaname too... He's not as awesome as Zero though.

Also found out that the subbers who are doing Skip Beat apparently won't be subbing it anymore. Which sucks. It was licensed (or something...) and is now going to be on crunchyroll. I guess other people are subbing it, but they take longer, and I'm all upset now. I really really like Skip Beat!

Also, am on volume 5 of Love Com. Only volumes 1-9 are in english, so unfortunately, unless I find a good translation, I'll be waiting for awhile to finish it.

I'll go back to dramas eventually! Right now I'm taking an anime break!

( Movie Meme... I'm bored )

In other, non meme news, I totally am stalling on my dramas. I haven't finished Hotaru no Hikari yet (I have 2 episodes left). Nor have I finished Love Com (I have like, 14 episodes left, theoretically, but I already watched about 5 of them... out of order of course).

Not to mention I still have to finish;
Corner with Love
Bull Fighting
Wish to See You Again
They Kiss Again
Goong
Love Storm
Meteor Garden 2 (*sigh*)
Love at First Fight

Overextending myself? Undoubtably. But I love love LOVE dramas so much, who cares?! I think I should go into the entertainment industry. It's the only thing I really love enough to do it for my whole life. I could be a production assistant, or a casting director, or an agent or manager. That would be awesomely fun. I'm so ridiculously obsessed with all things media....

Holy fuck it suddenly got REALLY cold here.

Anyway, Am enjoying Skip Beat, but I'm only through the first volume so far. I lurve Love Com (even though I still am disturbed by short men. I can't help it. I got it from my mother, she hates short men). Hotaru no Hikari is terribly enjoyable. I adore Hotaru so much, and Takano and Makoto-kun are so adorable. I feel all bad, because I can SO see Hotaru and Takano falling in love, so then I feel bad for poor Makoto-kun! Ah, can't win!

Meh! Have to go do work now!
