Really, really quick entry (for real this time)

[renrenren3]

❧ My SPN marathon is going really well - been watching an episode a day and I just reached the halfway point. Can't see I'm much impressed with S3 so far, though, and knowing how it ends is killing me.

❧ The plans to re-watch Merlin have instead sadly stopped. Woe. At least I have my picspam. (Which degenerated into a huge MONSTER. Lately I have problems restraining myself, or maybe it's just this fandom that has such a terrible effect on me.)

❧ Out of the Summer anime, I like Ookami-san best. And I wasn't even planning to watch it at first. (It just goes to show, trailers and summaries are not to be relied upon. It was the same with BakaTest.) Also, the ED is awesome. Akazukin-chan Goyoujin~

❧ The Autumn anime lineup looks promising. I need to finish some older series before the new anime start. That is, hoping the new anime won't be full of fail...

❧ I'd watch Katanagatari now (it's really weird but kinda interesting, plus now I'm used to 40 min episodes) but I have to wake up early tomorrow. Remedial maths lesson again - if anything, self, think of the money! Not that I have a very urgent need for money, but I need to think I'm doing this for some reason. Sure it's not because I love the kid.

❧ At any rate his exam is at the end of August, so just a couple of weeks more. I need to start thinking about my own exams too, I had a look at September's schedule and started reading the book on Galois theory. Urrgh.

❧ Oh right, can't forget about videogames. I'm kind of excited about Pokémon - new game coming out and all - I'm more old school myself, but my brother just got SoulSilver and I'm tempted to hijack it. Plus I saw THIS earlier on DA, and it's AWESOME.

❧ Also, Professor Layton 3, soon. We still don't have a title, but I'll bear with whatever stupid translation they bestow unto us. More puzzles! More Layton! More tea! I'm quite pleased at the sudden onset of cold weather. I can't remember being able to have my afternoon tea in August, much less sleep under the covers. I approve of this.

❧ And Basara. Oh gods, Basara. I don't know how it could possibly have happened. I mean, I got into it knowing that Masamune/Yukimura was kind of a big deal with the fandom, but in the end Yukimura's seiyuu is Souichirou Hoshi. I've hated him ever since Gundam SEED, because of Kira, and Yukimura is too much like Kira for me to care about him. Or Oyakata-sama, for that matter. Luckily Masamune (and other weird people I approve of) steal the scene most of the time, so I was cool with that.
Until last episode (5th episode of Season 2), then it hit me like a sack full of bricks. Masamune and Kojuurou! THEY ARE MEANT TO BE!
It's so obvious, I can't understand why I haven't been shipping them like BURNING ever since the first episode. Part of the fandom does, of course, and not a small one from what I gather. I don't understand why my slash goggles failed me. Not just that, I didn't even have a single ship in the fandom. Strange. It happens, but usually I consider all possible permutations of characters before giving up.

❧ I was looking for something completely unrelated but Wikipedia tells me that "The fish is considered to be a lucky symbol in Italy."
Bwuh?

❧ Re-reading the entry's title, I think it's clear that I'm a lying liar who lies.

❧ Whoops, forgot to add: Autumn anime + Gundam + Masamune. There's also the issue of the Gundam 00 movie. I'll probably have to watch it (my brother's been talking about it ever since it was announced) but I'm not really looking forward to it. For me, Gundam 00 ended with episode 23 of Season 1. The most I can say about the new movie is, hey, Lockon's got two Haro! Except he's not Lockon, so...
Yeah, Masamune was relevant. Masamune reminds me a lot of Lockon, especially in episode 23. This might have a lot to do with my obsession.

You're watching Supernatural? What do you think so far?

[renrenren3]

So far I think it's a good show. Mind you, I never watch horror movies because they scare the hell out of me, so I spent the whole first season watching anything but the screen, and I can't really compare it to anything else I've seen.

But I like Dean yeah, 'cause he really needed another fangirl and I like the mystery part of finding out what the monster of the week is and I want to be a hunter when I grow up. (Except that I'm grown up already, I'd be scared out of my wits and I'd probably end up as the first victim.)

Of course I can't help being awfully spoiled about a lot of plot points but there's still enough suspense for me to look forward to the next episodes. Plus I keep hearing about Castiel so I can't wait to get to S4.
Yeah, I'm pretty much hooked...

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

Oh dean, you little heart stealer you.

I remember first seeing a few of those episodes and being so scared. The little girl in the portrait killing everyone? Scary shit.

Season 4 is really good! I love castiel, he's so badass!

I'm so glad you're enjoying it!!

[renrenren3]

I remember that episode! I was all "Nooo! There's still a third of the episode left, just burning that body won't work! Something scary is going to jump at you ARGH ARGH ARGH!"
I don't even know why I started watching since it's not my usual genre, but I'm glad I did.

Haha, another fan of Castiel! All the more reason to get through S3 quickly~

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

God, that first episode if S4 is epic. You'll enjoy it! It made me love Castiel before he's even opened his mouth! He has some wonderful character development too.

Do you like Sam?

[renrenren3]

Of course I like Sam! How can anyone not like Sam? It'd be like kicking a puppy.
Though I'm a long-time Gilmore Girls fan and at first it was so confusing to remember that Sam wasn't Dean.

It's just that... y'know. I tend to think along the lines of "Yay there's Dean, I love Dean! Oh and there's Sam too."
I like Sam, but he's not one of my favourites. Maybe 3rd favourite so far, after Dean and Bobby.

I suppose you watched all 5 seasons... overall favourite characters?

[redjumper.livejournal.com]

It is a bit like that with Sam. I get a little sick if his bitching sometimes though.

I've seen all 5! Definitley dean and castiel and Bobby. I loved chuck as well, he appears at the end of season 4 and is hilarious!

[renrenren3]

I usually cut Sam some slack because I know how it is having a very annoying older brother (or sister XD;) around.

I think I've read something about Chuck. Is he the one who writes book about Sam and Dean? 'Cause that really sounds hilarious.
