It has arrived! This means it's time for some anime-watching!
( Together, we can flyyyy )
General comments on the boxset: LOL @ treating Right of Left people and the main cast as equally important (it's half & half in the rest of the box as well, not only in the cover). The OVA was beautiful, informative and its general quality was certainly better than that of the TV series, but it was still an just extra.
...Haaaaa.
"Wait... If it just comes back--"
"Don't say [defeating Sin] isn't worth it... Because it is. Even for a little while... people can sleep in their beds without being afraid. That kind of time is worth anything."
~Tidus and Yuna, Final Fantasy X
"It was only peaceful for half a year. Does this mean that the battles our friends went through only had a small significance?"
"[--] Even if it were only a day of peace, I would be grateful for its value."
~Kuramae Karin and Minashiro Soushi, Fafner in the Azure: Right of Left
Speaking of before-unnoticed similarities between FFX and Fafner, how about hordes of pretty blue water, pretty blue water everywhere! (it only makes your suffering shine brighter)? Or ( MASSIVE SPOILERS )?

Nov. 7th, 2007 08:39 pmWhy does the world want me to replay Final Fantasy X?
Strictly speaking, I don't have the time.

What.
Wait. I've been hearing only terrible things about FFX-2. Do I actually have to play it? Although... I saw its intro FMV and it filled me with the kind of guilty joy I felt while watching Gundam SEED's opening credits. "Whee, it's all shiny and made of plastic!" HAHA, a transforming Yuna doll!
Anyway. Tidus! Yuna! TIDUS/YUNA! Auron omg omg omg! Rikku. And then Wakka and the Al Bhed issues. EVERYTHING. ♥ God, the ending made cry so very hard. I couldn't stop until the credits had long since passed. [/vague]
(...And I don't even know what to say about Seymour's fashion sense other than it's really more like a fashion un-sense. In which case it could be said to be quite splendid! I think this icon sums it up best.)
Nothing to do with the game itself, but in its aftermath I found myself humming Demon Hunter's My heartstrings come undone and TATU's Malchik gay. The combination of these two songs has been playing inside my head for some time now and it sounds HORRIBLE.

the hermit, fragments
Oct. 30th, 2006 07:08 pmFor the past month I've been sitting secluded inside the house, only (and the dozen times this rule has been broken doesn't count, really!) leaving it for school. One lesson only, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I've been button-smashing.
Number eight was ridiculously entertaining for the first disc, if for the first disc only, number nine I think I would've liked, if only it had liked me, number seven was quite the wonderful experience indeed, but number ten has eaten my soul*. I... I don't know if it's ever going to spit it out again.
When I haven't done that or slept (which I've taken to doing at least fifteen hours a day), I've been reading that one fantasy book which, in my opinion, loses only to the Farseer trilogy. So far. Maybe His Dark materials too. So far. The Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
Then today I stayed in the city centre long enough enough to eat at school, and met some of my friends face to face. I managed to hold entire conversations with them! I'm quite proud of my obviously superior communication skillz.
* Among other things: "the main couple's" pretty much in-your-face obvious romantic inclinations towards each other fill me with "awww" and "how touching!" and "...if they don't get each other in the end I'll CRY D:", which hasn't happened since Pride and Prejudice, seriously.
