Kara no Kyoukai 6

Just had to post these screencaps before heading to bed:

^The big fight scene of the movie. Needless to say, it's extraordinary-looking.

And the preview for Kara no Kyoukai 7 is one of the creepiest things ever, and also contains the best flesh-eating sounds and animation of recent memory. (What an interesting compliment.) I absolutely cannot wait! :DDDD

things that are fucking awesome, bell loves violent shit, the strait jacket makes it cooler, etc.

and yes, read: left <----- right

Code Geass R2 (cont.)

Oh, Code Geass! This show that's ostensibly about liberating the Japanese, but is really about Lelouch's personal revenge, until Lelouch appears to go EVIL BATSHIT and the goal levels up to CREATING A NEW WORLD. If Natsume Yuujinchou is the little engine that could, then Code Geass is one of those huge, honking, black bile-spouting locomotives that are so massive that that damn hill looks like it will just collapse under its weight--and almost does.

That ending actually wasn't as terrible as I was expecting; I think if you go into these types of things with laughably low expectations, you're more likely to come out surprisingly entertained. Also lol@Lelouch's dramatic, blood-smearing death fall. I hope my death will be half as cool as that. xD

Although I DID make the =___=;; face a lot when the show kept being all: Oh no, we killed someone off! *five minutes later* J/K LOL. And biggest eww moment goes to THAT Lelouch/Kallen scene. DIE, PAIRING, DIE.

My final verdict:

Screw the ending, THERE IS NO JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD.

Code Geass R2

My little cousin has been bugging me to finish this series for, like, a month now. And I'm seeing her later today and she'll be pissed if I made no progress after promising her that I would, so I marathoned ep 15-21 just now. ^^;;

Random thoughts:

• Just finished ep. 21, and I have to say: the hell, Lelouch?? Screw your complex ideals! I would've totally taken up that ideal world offer! Revived Euphemia = SWEET DEAL, DUMBASSES
• As of now, my opinion is:
  Euphemia >>>> C.C. >>> Shirley >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kallen > what's-her-name (psychobitch will-go-lesbian-for-Euphemia scientist girl)
  I like Euphemia too, but damn. That scientist girl is C-R-A-Z-Y. And not even cool, sexy crazy... more like a really sad kind of crazy. Like a pigeon that's smacked into one too many windows or something. :(
  And Kallen has been so disappointing. I was ok with her when she was just That Soldier Girl, but then they start this romance crap, and now she's pulling all this "I'm Emotionally Dependent!" bull. And worst of all, Lelouch/Kallen doesn't even make any sense. I can't believe anyone would seriously ship the two of them. There's NO reason for the two of them to be in love, esp. when C.C. and Shirley make MUCH MORE SENSE. Hell, you could even cut all the Lelouch/Suzaku bait in half, and they would still be a more logical pairing than Lelouch/Kallen. *kills this pairing, kills it!*

• This is one of the few instances where I like the canonical het pairing just as much as the non-canonical BL pairing. I'm more an OTP person anyway, so it's rare that I ship more than one pairing in the first place, but for some reason, I like these two pairings pretty equally. I guess I'll just make an exception in this case; Suzaku is my bisexual ho. >D
• I've been wondering about this for a long while now... why does everyone seem to hate Suzaku? Personal liking of Suzaku aside, I honestly don't get it. I can understand why people hate Sasuke and all the other asshole characters I like because they're... well, assholes, but Suzaku really isn't. And whatever asshole moves he does make tend to be pretty reasonable considering his motives, the events of the plot, his presumptions about Lelouch, etc. It'd be easy to say that people arbitrarily hate on Suzaku just b/c they're Lelouch fans, but I don't know if that's the only reason...?

Hmm...

It might be possible for me to drop by both of these, but in case I have to choose, pick one:

1) Ginza Holiday: Soak up Japanese culture with folk dancing, taiko drumming, martial arts demos, live music from Yoko Noge and anime screenings. (!!) Includes food and beer vendors. ($3-4)

2) Korean Street Festival: The 14th annual culture event features a mix of traditional and contemporary Korean entertainment, food, and more. (Free)

Plz make my decision for me kthx. 8D
