Or, rather, it might be.

Keanu Reeves to star in Cowboy Bebop movie.

OMG

I kind of want to wail "noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" but who knows? Maybe he'll do an amazing job. Maybe. I have a hard time seeing him as Spike and I'm now wondering who the hell is going to play Faye (oh, I hope they don't mess that up) and Jet. And Ed! I hope they get the perfect girl for Ed... like... um... okay. It's going to be hard to find someone to play Ed, but you know? Summer Glau of Firefly fame gave me a kind of long-legged, loose-limbed, eccentric air. Add hyperosity and a dash of tape, she could plausibly play a youngster? Maybe?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Dude, I really wish I understood the appeal of High School Musical.

The new season of Smallville is wonderful; Lois and Clark moments abound! I've been waiting since, well, season four for this to start and get some steam going. I know, essentially, the Clark and Lana relationship had to resolve first, but it took so very, very long.

House is not very interesting this season, thus far.

I keep missing Bones.

I finally watched the second X-Files movie and it... was... odd.

I need to find a new anime-viewing-partner since I left all mine back in Japan. *weeps*

Is it weird that I don't like the Twilight books, but I can't wait for the movie to come out? I totally want to be in the theatre for that and see how they do 'sparkly vampires' and whether a screen!Edward would tick me off quite so much.

The Chaos;head anime is strangely hilarious. Creepy!Otaku for the win!

I just read Yotsuba and seriously, one of the funniest manga I've read of late. No relationship drama! No angst drama! No four-panel comedy sketches! Just lots of wackiness, and I am so into it right now.

I'm finally catching up with Tsubasa and XXXholic.

Catching up with Inuyasha is something I'm debating right now; can I really go through fifty+ volumes of Inuyasha/Kagome angst again?

Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece are somewhere on that list.

I bought five new yaoi manga volumes yesterday, and I haven't touched them yet. I was perusing the shelves and there sure are a lot of new ones. As in, there are ones I never thought would get translated and published in the US.

I'm really boring today.

That is all.

I am so not excited about any of the anime this season, excepting, perhaps, Itazuru no Kiss. And that's only because it's based on this fantastic shoujo series that I read when I was younger. And that one of my favorite Taiwanese series made a live-action version of it called, It Started With a Kiss.

Will probably check them all out since I'm obsessive-compulsive like that, but *sad* am not seeing anything that makes me excited like Spice and Wolf did or Claymore.

OMG. I've been behind Ouran, and I just finished watching Ep.21 and what I have to say?

I wasn't particularly fond of the twins, Hikaru and Kaoru. They bugged me. But OMG, the latest few eps which focused on them just make me PINK WITH PLEASURE. Kaoru is such an awesome character and AUGH.

... Kaoru just might be my favorite character besides Kyouya.

I'm going to have a steady (probably weekly) anime night at my apartment.

Suggestions on what to show? I can dl just about anything that's not been licensed and I can buy everything else on Amazon (do people know whether the other anime DVD sites deliver to Japan?). I have some ideas, but what would people suggest for a good starter anime? And no, I'm not going to show DBZ or Sailor Moon (though I kind of want to show Sailor Moon. Good stuff, good stuff). I'm willing to go for almost any show, but some of the people attending are anime newbies, and I don't want to shock them into never watching anime again. ~_^

I'm such a request-whore.

But yes! Just toss out your anime names to me!

And by the way; while I have found people into yaoi and slash, I unfortunately will be unable to show them things like Sukisyo or Loveless or even Yami no Matsuei. =( Muraki would have been so fun to watch.

I've discovered that the best way to argue is just to stay calm and rational. =)

That said, I have got to stop going into the bookstores. Yesterday, I went in expecting to buy Newtype and Animage and I came out with the Japanese edition of Crimson Hero (6 volumes), three continuing volumes of this yaoi series I love and follow, a idols magazine (OMG, where I did I go wrong?), and Bleach 18.

Madness, it's madness.

Found a couple of really nice ones to send stateside; I'll pick them up today. I have to find a box though... it seems there's a bit of a difficulty in finding smaller boxes.

By the way: SPEED GRAPHER is love! I've wanted to rave for the longest time, but yeah, this is a series I know a bunch of you will absolutely adore. It's available via BT at Shinsen Subs. It's been licensed, so if you like it, buy the DVDs when they come out. The series is that good.
