Fic or drabble? Does this qualify as a fic? This nonsense inspired by staring at the Reborn Calendar too long. I apologize in advance for the lack of pr0n (or motorcycles for that matter). Told you it went a different direction OTL

Title: Fun with scars
Rating: G (?)
Characters: Ryohei, Yamamoto, Gokudera
Warning: nonsense
Disclaimer: Reborn is not mine, I just like to borrow the characters for my nefarious ends. Again, I am not a writer. This is just me pretending to be one orz

Forced myself to get this out today in memory of MY big brother, who would have been 34 were he still alive today.

This fic is dedicated to all my reborn writing friends. They're the real writers ♥


( The first person Yamamoto sees as he returns from a mission is the Sun Guardian. Something was different, he just couldn't quite put his finger on it. )


Notes: Yes, that was really bad. I have no excuse other than the fact that I've always been fascinated by scars, how they got theirs, and Ryohei's band-aids.


P.S. If you have not done so, please PLEASE leave your addresses here. Failure to do so will prompt me to poke you individually. For ppl in my area, I don't care if we're meeting in person soon. I want to actually MAIL these out and revive the art of using the postal system XD

ATTENTION: Everyone on my flist! I'm making postcards and I need your addresses to send them to! Comments screened to protect your privacy.

*POKES EVERYONE AND I DO MEAN EVERYONE*

Bonus: Name your favorite character (or any character you currently like) as long as it's 2D and I'll do a quick doodle on the postcard. [EDIT: ONLY ONE CHARACTER PLEASE *eyes her special friends*]

NOW HAVE AT ME! Quick, before I chicken out change my mind XD


[ETA2: Arr, cant reply to screened comments without unscreening them so expect PM replies instead.]

What are Rusty and Ryohei looking at?



:O

( EXTREEEEEME PLAAAAANNER!?!!??!!! )

Maybe this year I'll actually start using it XD
I can stop drinking peppermint mocha now.
Yeah right, if only it were that easy. My username is like this for a reason XD

EDIT: It comes with coupons! Just found them at the back. Each redeemable for the month specified. I'll only be able to use the 2nd free drink and complimentary upsize since I don't buy coffee beans. I also drink decaf so extra shot is kinda moot.

I don't look at motorcycles the same way now...

While my days of stalking tokyotosho have gone down considerably, I still find time to do so especially when I'm waiting for Kimi Ni Todoke (Episode 6) Eclipse subs to show up. Came across Darker than Black (Dual Audio) [BDrips] in the process. Found the dedication to November 11 which is what prompted this post.


Really I just wanted to post nekkid November 11 something on 11/11 at 11:11 pm XD

Oh Hoshi, what am I to do with you XD And I thought flying pantsu was bad enough in Sora no Otoshimono, Episode 2; boy was I wrong. This time around we get exploding pantsu. I KID YOU NOT. I haven't even mentioned the pantsu robot ><;;;; Despite all that, this series is suprisingly idiotically FUNNY XDDD

Oh and whereas we got a full seiyuu cast ending song last week, this time we get a new Hoshi song entitled 戦士の休息 so it's not a total brainless loss XD


And in other news, FMA continues to be awesomely funny and cool at the same time. Also, I finally get to see Konitan's character on my next viewing of Monochrome Factor. I'm kinda gonna miss Yoshino Hiroyuki's Farfarello lookalike character though. I like his deep psycho voice here, which isn't quite Hallelujah-ish (its more cruel, less psycho, and sounds deeper). As with most seiyuu though, he gives himself away once he shouts. I could hear what I call parts of his fang voice coming out then.

Oh and I also picked up Honey & Clover. Gah, don't have the episodes with me so will post about it more when I have screencaps ready.

SHIT!

BSS SUBS ARE OUT!!!

FUCKIN' A!


And I almost downloaded the raw. Apparently I'm as excited about this as I was the first time around. Back then I also downloaded the raws coz I couldn't wait.

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it! I'm about to lose control, and I think I like it...


[EDIT: Just finished watching. SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME]

Kobato. Our lead protagonist.

So the plot of CLAMP's new anime?

Kobato has a wish - a place she wants to go to. To get her wish, she has to fulfill her mission, which is to collect a lot of broken hearts into a flask. But to get the flask, she has to pass a test. The test? To live as a normal human for one day.

Her proctor - the blue plushie of doom.


Ioryogi-san. Not our lead protagonist.

( more caps and commentary behind the cut )

Ok, too lazy to add more so yeah. What? It makes the cutest expressions XD

Taking a brief respite from all the anime blogging to remind myself of two big seiyuus. Yes, pun very much intended XD

So I heard this really good deep voice in Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra and couldn't for the life of me put my finger on who it was. It was driving me crazy so I just had to find out.

Turns out it was none other than Ookawa Toru :3 So that's who he reminded me of, though he sounds better than Arawn (who I had been hearing for weeks now as I watched Tears to Tiara on a weekly basis). I remember when I looked at his list of works before that I was sorta surprised at some of them and nodding at the same time. Anyways, here's some of his works for my reference.

Ookawa Toru 大川 透

Mattalast in Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra
Arawn in Tears to Tiara
Death Scythe in Soul Eater - crazy pervy papa!
Roy Mustang in the old Fullmetal Alchemist

And then I decided to look up who voiced Canaan's Siam. Lo and behold another big one. And he's also Mihai in Dogs <3 I only heard of this man's beautiful deep voice in the Sakende Yaru ze Drama CDs.

Ootsuka Akio 大塚 明夫

Siam in CANAAN
Mihai in Dogs: Bullets & Carnage

Will probably add pics later. Don't have the series with me to take caps off of.

Sure to watch..

DARKER THAN BLACK: Ryuusei no Gemini
Thursday 25:25 (10/08)
- Looking forward to this the most but don't really have high hopes for some reason.

Inuyasha -The Final Act-
Saturday 26:20 (10/03)
- It's out but I don't really feel like watching it yet. Maybe when there are more episodes out or when it finishes. A must on the list but not a priority.

Sora no Otoshimono*
Sunday 24:00 (10/04)
- Hoshi's in it. Have seen it naturally. Ecchi, but not too offending, yet. Then again could be I'm just too busy enjoying Hoshi's freaking out voice to notice. More later?


Interested in..

Kimi ni Todoke
Tuesday 24:59 (10/06)
- Production I.G. and HachiKuro (or Eden of the East) art style, most anticipated.

Miracle☆Train ~Ouedo-sen e Youkoso~
Sunday 26:00 (10/04)
- After countries as people, was naturally curious about train stations as people. Seen it. Boring as hell. Love the seiyuu selection though. FujiKei is in it, which is a pleasant surprise. More on this later.

Tegami Bachi / Letter Bee
Saturday 22:55 (10/03)
- Curious about this, hear it around.

FAIRY TAIL
Monday 19:30 (10/12)
- Also curious about this coz I hear it around.

Winter Sonata
Saturday 12:00 (10/17)
- Never watched the kdrama in full, only bits and pieces and not interested to see more of it. A friend who watched it used to say the pacing was really really slow, it seemed to be the director's style. Very curious about the anime adaptation nonetheless.


Worth a look..

Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra
Friday 22:00 (10/02)
- Armed librarians seemed interesting. Saw the first episode, was not very impressed. Then again I may not have been in the most receptive mood. More on this later.

The Sacred Blacksmith
Saturday 09:30 (10/03)
- Title got me interested. Also, swords are love. Found the first episode underwhelming. More on this later.

11eyes
Tuesday 25:00 (10/06)
- No idea what this is but again the title catches my eye.

Kobato.
Tuesday 20:00 (10/06)
- Apparently the title has a period behind it. Not as abusive of punctuation marks as Hayate no Gotoku!! (one wonders if Hayate S3 will have 3 exclamation marks :p)
- Oh, forgot to say that it's CLAMP, which actually makes me disinterested since I'm not a fan, but took a look anyways. More on this later here.


What the heck..
(or curiosity killed got the better of mocha)

Kämpfer
Thursday 25:29 (10/01)
- Uh, conflicted here. I like the lead (girl form) and the split personality redhead :D Fight/skills/weapons seemed interesting. Will expound on this later.

Nyan Koi!
Thursday 25:59 (10/01)
- Haven't seen, but person who hates cats can suddenly understand cat talk. Worth looking into, if anything.

Seitokai no Ichizon
Friday 25:58 (10/02)
- Zero interest but [gg] dissed it so I had to see for myself just how bad it was. At first it was funny the way they kept picking on their own series (is there really a need for an anime for this, amazon reviews for the manga are bad, etc) and title change suggestions to make it more appealing. Had to laugh at the adding-a-star(☆)-in-between quip, even if I haven't seen Lucky Star.


And then there's..
Omni got me interested coz of his synopsis..

Aoi Bungaku Series
Saturday 25:20 (10/10)
- Madhouse's other new series for the fall is actually six separate stories from classic literary works published in the early to mid 1900s. The six are: Dazai Osamu's Run, Melos! and No Longer Human, Souseki Natsume's Kokoro, Akutagawa Ryuunosuke's Hell Screen and The Spider's Thread, and Sakaguchi Ango's In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom. That and famous mangaka (Obata Takeshi, Tite Kubo, and Konomi Takeshi) worked on the character designs.
- OAV's perhaps?

Kaidan Restaurant
Tuesdays 19:30 (10/13)
- A collection of ghost stories based on a long-running children's book series.

Kuuchuu Buranko
Thursday 24:45 (10/15)
- Trippy looking story about a psychiatrist with unorthodox methods for his unique patients.
- Standalone episodes? Seiyuu lineup listed on the official site makes it seem worth a look.

第1話 『空中ブランコ』 - 山下公平役／森川智之
第2話 『勃ちっ放し』 - 田口哲也役／櫻井孝宏
第3話 『恋愛小説家』 - 星山純一役／三木眞一郎
第4話 『ホットコーナー』 - 坂東真一役／浪川大輔
第5話 『義父のアレ』 - 池山達郎役／平田広明
第6話 『フレンズ』 - 津田雄太役／入野自由
第7話 『ハリネズミ』 - 猪野誠司役／高橋広樹
第8話 『いてもたっても』 - 岩村義雄役／岩田光央
第9話 『天才子役』 - 安川ヒロミ役／羽多野渉
第10話 『オーナー』 - 田辺満男役／置鮎龍太郎


And there ends my very long entry of "thoughts on fall season 2009" or I always wanted to do this every season but never get around to until now or I will check out almost anything it seems. (More on this later = Screencapped reviews to follow.)

[DISCLAIMER: Just because I checked it out, doesn't mean I'll follow through and watch it in it's entirety. Anime seasons master list will be updated with what makes the final cut as usual.]
