on classic love triangles gone a bit wrong and pirates gone totally right

Watched the latest episode of Merlin last night. Some nice Merlin/Arthur bits, but the real slash was elsewhere:

Me, about halfway through: Umm, is it just me or is Lancelot kind of in love with Merlin?
The brother: Yeah, except for the 'kind of'.

Really now, those long, longing looks - sure it was Gwen you were thinking about. Suuuuure.

In One Piece news, the anime has reached 2YL, and in a stroke of absolute genius the fake Mugiwara crew is being played by the actual nakama seiyuu, only all mixed up - so Hirata is "Luffy" and Ohtani is "Nami" and Nakai is "Sanji", etc - and it's even funnier then you're imagining, OMG BRILLIANT.

And Lancelot ABSOLUTELY made his choice in the end for Merlin's sake, not Arthur's. ♥

I have GOT to catch up with the OP anime -- that sounds hysterical!

Or Gwen's request - yeah, it was totally for Merlin. Awww!

The OP anime is sometimes disappointing, because it could be so much more with a bigger budget and more time (imagine if it all looked like Strong World) - but the epic action of Marineford made a lot more sense to me animated, and the seiyuu-swapping now is so funny, I can't even XDXDXDXD

OMG, how did I miss the seiyuu thing?? I am such a moron when it comes to voice actors!

Now I will be forced to watch those episodes again. And again. Oh, the pain.

Heee, yes - I've always been a big voice actor fan (I can recognize a lot of people better by their voices than in person, I think ^^;) and once I realized it was Hirata playing Luffy (his voice is distinctive) that cued me in to listen to the others - it was a fantastic and funny choice, and the seiyuu all have so much fun throwing themselves into the roles! ^^
