Today I found out that FUNimation has Jyu Oh Sei up on their free video player.
I have no clue how long how long it's been up for but I feel a bit stupid since I just found out about it now.

At first I kind of thought it was complete bullshit that it's out for free. I bought the episodes for download-to-own so I felt like I got ripped-off. Then I thought about it and I felt like a jerk. I shouldn't be getting pissed off about it because I'm still planning to buy the DVD. When you really like something you do what you can to support it. I may not have the DVD of Jyu Oh Sei but I did make somewhat of a contribution by buying the episodes to download.

Now, I'm happy that it's up on FUNi's site for free because I can share it with others. This is one of my favorite anime series. I don't really know why I like it so much. I think one of the main things that draws me to Jyu Oh Sei is that it's short. You don't have lots of unnecessary crap and it gets straight down to the point. Although, the last couple of episodes seem a bit rushed and they pack in a lot of information in a short time. It's fun though, being a bit confused and not having a clear idea of what the hell is going on because that's how the characters feel. I really love it when shows are able to make an audience care about characters. It's even better when you can feel some of the emotions that the characters can feel, I think this is what really defines a good series/movie/book/whatever.

Jyu Oh Sei isn't perfect though. There were was an episode or two that was really wtf. Like how the main character fell in love with girl he had just met. The rest of the show made up for all that bull shit though. I also have to admit that the first episode is a bit boring, until you get to the last part of the episode. I really didn't get into this series until episode 3.


Here's the link to watch the episodes http://www.funimation.com/video/?page=show&b=43
I want everyone to try and watch at least the first two episodes. If you don't like it I want you to tell me why. I want real reasons as to why you didn't like it! None of this, "It seemed boring so I didn't like it." I thought it was boring too, until after episode 3. If you don't really like sci-fi, you should still give it a try! I don't care much for sci-fi either, or settings in space, but I didn't mind it at all in Jyu Oh Sei. Please give it a try!

thx Kyoko 
YOU RUINED MY HAPPY POST-CONCERT HIGH 
From the moment I've gotten home I can't think of anything but Loveless.   

Actually, thank you for reminding me about it. =D  
I've been distracted by other series and the last I've read was when volume 6 was completed. 
I didn't forget about it, I just didn't want to wait for new chapters and shit.


Now I'm sad because I'm thinking about how messed up all the characters are ...
SEIMEI PLAYED THEM ALL  T__T    
I cry now ... 


The Miyavi music, it makes me happy -- but the Loveless is dragging down my happy.

Such conflicting feelings of sadness and happiness. I wonder if this is what it feels like to be bipolar. 
I'm not enjoying this.   
Well, I guess this now explains why that one friend of mine can be such a bitch at moments. THIS IS NOT FUN. D= 



I'm totally joking about the bipolar thing. I don't need none of you, who may happen to read this, getting your panties, or whatever you choose or choose not to wear,  in a bunch.

HOSHIT SECOND SEASON OF xxxHOLiC   ---   TWO YEARS LATER


That first episode fucking pwn'd! 
I'm super excited about the second season and for seeing more of Larg! Animated Larg is major win and there hasn't been enough of Mokona in Holic lately. 

The art was sooooo pretty and it was like 10 times better than the first season. I wasn't very fond of the first season's art. However, seeing crappy art in season one could have also been attributed to shitty YouTube. Whatever the case is I think season two is going to be MUCH better than season one. 

There's just so much to look forward to this season!  MAOR PIPEFOX AND LARG
One thing I'm not looking forward to is the Sakura and Syaoran crossover; I don't want to get my hopes up ... I just don't think it's going to happen at all because of copyright shit and how all TRC references were cut from the first season. Oh well, I basically just want to see the whole spider shit and Kohane animated. 
Kohane is one of my favorite characters from Holic. At least I think she's my favorite my character ... There's a high probability that I just have sympathy for her but I suppose receiving any feeling from me is a form of favoritism? o.O  

Watanuki in a dress, wuuuuut? Since Doumeki has already donned female attire Watanuki had to as well? I was a bit surprised that Watanuki wasn't freaking out or bitching all over the place. The only thing he asked was, "Why do I have to be Alice?" and he didn't sound a bit angry when he asked. If anything he just sounded a tad annoyed. 

My favorite part of episode one was Maru and Moro playing tic-tac-toe on the back of a sleeping Mokona. Oh! There was also the part where Mokona jacked a bowel of rice out of Watanuki's hand. The ending theme was also a favorite; to be specific, just the images were a fav of mine. The many colors and patterns of Mokona reminded me of the Mokona Doodler episode from TRC season 2 and it also reminded me of the pink elephants on parade segment from Dumbo ... That's something that I would have preferred to not be reminded. That part of the movie would freak me out when I was younger and it STILL freaks me out to even think about it. 

Great ... once again my childhood memories have tarnished something wonderful  *sigh* -__-  
I think I'll take a trip down some stairs, literally, so that I may forget the creepy images burned into my mind. THANKS A LOT DISNEY! >O 


Maybe I'll add some screencaps in about a month or two ... Yeah, that's a bit off from now but I'm lazy and I still haven't finished capping the second OVA of TRC and I haven't even watched the third OVA yet. Yes, I'm a bit pathetic. 

Cristo ftw!
That's right, C R I S T O
Do not get it confused with Christ. Although he's ftw win too Hah! Can't snd meh 2 hellz noa >P

Cristo - Orange-Eye Messiah

this manga wuz lyk super awsum

No, really, it was. It would have been better if it was longer though. The little plot twists were interesting, but predictable. It was probably only predictable to me because I read/watch too much drama/fantasy/sci-fi shit. I like sci-fi, as long as it's not like ALIENS. ALIENS ARE OVERPLAYED >O Well, some aliens are cool, so long as it's not in some lame-core aliens-take-over-the-world shit. DOES NOT WANT

I want maor Cristo.
Four chapters was not enough. I wanted to see this be dragged out and turned into a bloody soap opera! It was fun while it lasted though. There was action, monsters, sword/gun play, ass kicking, ass beating, tears, name calling, inverted crosses, eye stealing, eye eating, mismatched eyes, eccentric genuis (aka crack-head), verge of the death, dying, killing, artificial life, clones, mental break down, dash of drama, indentity crisis, gender confusion, androgyny, blood flying, long-lost brothers, family reunion, etc. As you can see, it's full of happy happy fun time.

GO READ IT NOW!

Okay, I usually don't blog about shit stuff that I'm a fan of but it has to be done.
The topic for the day is ...CLAMP

What the fuck is wrong with those women?! Well I guess it would specifically be just Ohkawa with the mental problems, since she's the one who writes the script. Ohkawa is like the evil tyrant while Nekoi, Igarashi, and Mokona are her minions. Seriously though, CLAMP is made of fucking win. I'd gladly rip out one of my eyes if it would make them happy (or make them resume work on Gohou Drug and X). 

Speaking of eyes ... This is the best time to put in some icons!
CLAMP Fandom: it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye (then it gets full of shippers)

btw I didn't make these icons but the people who made them are ftw

Those ladies are so fucking sadistic or something. C!Syaoran fucking RIPPED out Fai's eye! Seishirou likes to stab his arm through people. Let's not forget about the blood bath that is X. I tried to read X but I have no clue what the fuck goes on in that manga because of all the blood being splattered around. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about their sadism because it provides me with entertainment. It also provides their characters with ANGST. I love you CLAMP. 

I just love how they turn the most simple and innocent stories into something dealing with a lot of issues, Card Captor Sakura anyone? Syaoran was totally crushing on Yukito. Yukito and Touya love each other. Yue was totally angsting over Clow cause he fucking loved him. Haha Yue was also an emo bitch to Sakura and that was funny XD  Then there was that chick Rika loved the teacher foo. Then Touya loved Kaho, or thought he did, I think it was just a crush. Then Eriol and Kaho love each other ... but it's kinda really Clow ... sort of but not really ... 
Poor Yue T__T  Yue totally got fucked over in CCS.      
In short, CCS is full of love! Literally ... that's all it's basically about >.< 

Then there's shit like X that balances out the frilly happy shit they write. CLAMP kept getting bitched at by the magazine editors that it was too violent. 

I totally forgot the reason why I started this blog ... 

I know I said the topic was about CLAMP but it will specifically be just about xxxHoLic, Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- and Tokyo Babylon. Maybe I'll bitch a bit about X if I feel like it.

Since these blogs are too long I'll post them in sections so I don't keel all j00rs eyes from too much text.
