Muahaha. Actually this was someone's survey for a subculture they had to do? >__>

Wanted to waste time.

Had Japanese speaking test today. The teacher sniggered. LOL.

(Okay, admittedly, the line was funny - Partner: "Did you take photos?" Me: "Yes, I took lots." P: "Can I see them?" M: "No, you may not see them...")

Anyway!

( Cut for length )

I've never been one of those people who stuck their nose in the air and said, "Hmmph, that is sooooooo clicheeeeed."

That's why I like stuff like Gundam Seed and Black Cat and Vampire Knight (and even Hunter x Hunter can go in this category), which took tried and tired ideas and made it into something very good. Ultimately, everything's been done one way or another. I think it's just as much an achievement to make something old look good new as it is to create something utterly new.

And besides, ultimately, concepts of old and new are all relative to the individual.

Saiunkoku no Monogatari

I think that's what it's called. Gosh it's a mouthful.

Highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed the setting of Fushigi Yuugi or Hanakanaru Toki no Naka de.

I thought the girl would be like Miaka, but turns out she's not. I keep suspecting that the original manga is written by a non-Japanese person, mainly because the heroine feels so different from usual.

She still has the typical heroine innocence, but she's also got the sort of perceptive wile that's more expected of girls in a traditional Chinese setting.

It helps that the two main guys are 1) not rivals and 2) voiced by Tamahome and Chichiri/Kyou/Yzak/Pierrot. The girl's voiced by Fllay/Stellar. She sounds like neither...

Tamahome's guy actually has a pretty nice voice ^^;;;;

Now I see what was meant by Heero sounding like a constipated Tamahome. It must be the same logic as saying Shinn sounds like a constipated Kamui, right? *Grin*

(I should stop procrastinating)
