Guess who's been frolicking in y!japan auctions again. ^_^

There are Last Exile trading cards. Why did I not know about this sooner? It's possible Touma mentioned this, I just don't remember. I have no idea how to get them besides. The trading card set are mostly just screenshots from the series, but as per usual, the SP cards are worth a look.

( SP cards )

It says filegraphy on the images, although I've no idea what they are. Just character portraits I'm assuming. Anyone know what they actually are? ( Filegraphies )

The Last Exile DVD and CD covers always have gorgeous art. I wish they'd come out with an LE artbook with illustrations from the artist. These are the covers from the Japanese DVD releases, which I'm assuming Pioneer will also be using for the NA release, as they used the same cover for the first DVD. I especially like the Al cover and the one with Alex and Vincent. ( DVD covers )

Never ever again am I going to put off reading my friends list when I don't have to (rd: when I actually have time to read it). -_- I now have to go back 350. I always seem to be trying to get through backlogs these days. And of course because of this, I'm going to put off reading it yet again. Although I did skim to try to catch on with anyone who's tried to get in touch with me via LJ in the past few days. Have already replied (comments or e-mail) to all of them, so if I missed anyone and it's important, just poke me please. ;_; I'm not ignoring you. It's just that I've been ignoring my e-mail and my LJ.

And because I think this is the cutest thing ever in AniPuri:


I don't suppose the boys were at all traumatized at the sight of nekkid!chibi Atobe hanging on the wall. And you all already know how much I adore Gakuto, so, yea. Poor Shishido. And therein is the perfect example of why you should never fall asleep in the company of other Hyotei regulars.


This is for sofar and caillen, whom I promised I'd take a picture of the Al figure included in the Last Exile collector's edition boxset. It's a really cute figure, the pics are a bit fuzzy though, as I didn't realize the digicam's settings had been changed until after I transferred the photos to my PC and put the Al figure back in the box.

( She even has the stuffed goat with her )

The Xenosaga II promotional trailer, as subtitled by AonE, for caillen (<-- who I've noticed demands too much from me, that spoiled wench.)

P.S. I have HUGE amounts of fangirling over TeniMyu. Luckily for all of you, all my fangirling over it has been isolated towards caillen and geilheit. All I've got to say is that the best singers are definitely Moriyama Eiji (Momo) and Abe Yoshitsugu (Taka-san), and of course Kimeru (Fuji). I cringe at hearing Aoyama Sota (Inui) sing sometimes, but I love him anyway. XD XD I go into little fits of fangirling whenever I see Momo, Taka or Inui on stage. Oh what the heck, I fangirled the whole way through.

The subs for Last Exile 26 is out! aerie! Go download now! Aah! Why aren't you on in AIM?! *waits for everyone to finish watching the subs* *goes off to download*

(spoilers on the comments)

Deleted the previous message because it doesn't belong there. No matter how depressed LE 26 made me.

All things considered, it was a good way to end the series, if it hadn't been for a thing or two, I probably wouldn't have any complaints at all. I might have more thoughts on it once the subs come out.

I'm in rant mode now. I don't explain anything, so you won't understand a thing I'm ranting about unless if you've seen the episode.

( The one thing that keeps LE from being a perfectly happy ending. And probably one of the STUPIDEST things I've ever seen them do. Utter senseless babble up ahead. AND ATHENE IF YOU CLICK ON THIS I'LL KILL YOU FOR SPOILING YOURSELF! )

Geh. I might be able to talk more sense in a day or two.

Last Exile 23 has completely and utterly broken my heart.

No caps, and no comments on the episode at all. I know people on my friends list who'll want to spoil themselves, and I refuse to spoil anyone on this.

From now on, all active media posts will be linked on the sidebar. (Obviously the one marked media downloads.) I find it's more convenient for me to keep track of active media posts, and should be equally convenient to others as well. The Prince of Tennis songs are still on the server, but they'll be going down soon. So this is your last chance to grab them if you haven't already.

I promised Sheila I'd upload a couple of Last Exile clips. Most of them are of Dio though. ^^v And since Athene wanted to see clips from episode 21.

Last Exile 17

Last Exile 18

Last Exile 19

Last Exile 21

Edit: clips taken down

*CRIES* Have I said how much I hate Delphine yet?

Now I'm going to have to wait another long week for LE 22. ;_; I should probably stop watching this until episode 26 airs. But of course we all know I can't do that, and I'll be fidgeting impatiently all week for Monday to come around.

( Dio spoilers and other things. Not a summary, but spoilers galore anyway. And more Dio screencaps. )

Alright. I've got 5 minutes to fangirl over this.

Last Exile owns me. Utterly. Completely. DIO IS SO OHMYGOD YOU MAKE ME LAUGH BUT YOU MAKE ME WANT TO CRY! *diesdiesdies*

AND BYGODS THE SPOILER! THE SPOILER! *DIESSOMEMORE* If they're going to do what it looks like they're going to do I'll never forgive them! ANDLUCIORA!SPOILERSPOILER! EEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! And what Delphine said and ohshit I never expected that! And eeeee!!!!

LOVELOVELOVE! *DIES* I am so dreading the upcoming episodes.

I HATEHATE DELPHINE! Leave Dio alone you wicked woman!

That is all. More coherence when I get home.

Hmm. I was planning to put up reactions to the latest Naruto and TeniPuri manga chapters, but nevermind those. They are unimportant in the wake of Last Exile 19, where the episode isn't about Dio, but where I think it's all about Dio anyway.

( Where we find out why Dio's been hiding from evil!neechan Delphine all this time and the utter embarassment of me crying over Dio. Go me. Mild spoilers for LE 18-19. )

Added: Was searching around trying to see if there was a Last Exile illustration book. Instead I reach a forum with someone asking for Last Exile hentai. ;_; The utter wrongness! I did not read that. I didn't. I didn't. *weep*

Hey! Why is Alex always the one in the Last Exile CD covers? o_O Last Exile OST 2 comes out September 3. The songs will once again be performed by Dolce Triade, whom I absolutely worship after the first OST. Wait, is that Alex in the CD cover or is that Claus? The expression is screaming Alex Lowe, but the clothes make me think Claus. Vocals are still being performed by Okino Shuntaro and Hitomi Kurioshi.

Before anything else. If I owe you anything. Email reply, comment replies, a fic beta, etc. Then I should get back to you this weekend. (Yes, I finally have time. I will make use of my two days free, darn it.) Once Monday comes around and I haven't replied/sent you anything, that means I never got it/completely forgot about it/no longer have it.

You know, the Last Exile soundtrack is all about nostalgia, I tell you. It is against me! But gods I love it. It's reminded me of rainy nights and summer and visits long forgotten. It's also had me reminiscing in just about a dozen videogames which I haven't played in ages. Which reminds me that I haven't touched a game controller in a long time and now I want to, but I have enough non-work related stuff to catch up on as it is.

I'm almost tempted to put up the entire album for download. I don't know how many times I've paused in what I'm doing because of this soundtrack. I've listened to this soundtrack at random since I got it, but this is the first time I'm actually listening to the entire album.. and waaah!

I will now pimp the Last Exile soundtrack to you all as much as the series, because they're both something nobody should miss.

PS. If I promised to upload any mp3s for anyone, please remind me? I fear I'll probably forget since I'll be uploading mostly Last Exile and Prince of Tennis songs.

PPS. I'll be deleting Prince of Tennis 91 from the server along with all the mp3s. If anyone is still downloading it, now is a good time to tell me so I could keep it up long enough for you to finish.
