One Piecing

Almost done watching the Arabasta arc of One Piece.

Wow. and yow. And I love this show. Intensely dramatic, wildly creative, insanely funny, often within the same 30 seconds. One minute I'm riveted, holding my breath, and the next I'm out of breath from laughing so hard.Some spoilers, mostly incoherent raving )

I'm a bad yaoi fangirl

New fandom, new fanfic, same old issues. For all that many animanga series give me in canon more of what I crave than nearly any Western show, anime fic too rarely satisfies. Mainly because despite my One True Pairing tendencies, I'm honestly not that into pairings--any pairings, a kink which puts me at odds with fundamental fangirl tenets. Ranting to follow, with the caveat that I know my tastes are not the norm, but after this long they're unlikely to change. I'm always up for trying to figure out why I like certain things, and I have my theories, but when it comes down to it, I like what I like and knowing why doesn't alter that I do.

For love of friendship; or, X-parrot whines about the state of anime fanfic, and how all the yaoi out there isn't enough. )

I wanna be a pirate!

The inevitable One Piece post. Inevitable because when I haven't been busy with work and such in the past few weeks, One Piece has been devouring my soul. Inevitable, too, because this was bound to happen. It's a little boys' fight series. Fight shounen is my kryptonite. I cannot resist the shouted attacks and absurd feats of endurance and the themes of friendship so pervasive to the genre. An extended valentine to my newest love. Er. Obsession, rather. Minimal spoilers, but a lot of raving. )

on endings

There's been some discussion of late about the possible ending of the GetBackers manga, which may or may not be approaching, and I was thinking about what I wanted to see myself...

X-parrot expounds on the various varieties of endings )

Enough procrastination...the NaNo awaits!
