Tenjou Tenge has already been licensed by Geneon Entertainment (formerly Pioneer), so it looks like it's left to downloading raws for this series. Which can be a rather big pain at the moment, with my server capping its download speed at 30kbps (!@$@#%!#$%!#^%&) and if the first episode is anything to go by, that's 300+mb downloads per episode. I'm so behind on my downloads. ;_; Stupid server! Edit: Looks like anime-station will be subbing Tenjou Tenge.

Other licenses: GitS: Innocence (Dreamworks), Yu-Gi-Oh! Movie (WB), Chrno Crusade (ADV), Koikaze (Geneon), Hanaukyo Maids La Verite (Geneon)

And my BT refuses to download anything. 'I am not amused' is an understatement. And Monster starts airing this week. -_- IRC downloads are just fine (albeit still limited at 30kbps max), but this also means I don't have downloads running while I'm away from the PC for extended periods of time. Since I can't queue IRC downloads to get one after the other, and with new releases, you barely have to queue before your download starts anyway.

Edit: Tracker problems located on some servers are due to the server provider blocking all traffic to port 6969. Further details can be found here. Torrents will be moved to announce on port 443. Old torrents will have to be downloaded again.

Completely random. Amazon should have a 'never recommend anything by this author' option on their recommendations list. They keep recommending Mercedes Lackey books to me. I keep clicking on the 'not interested' option, but they can't seem to get the hint. =/


( where I muse on Gakuto's future career choice )

A Fuji fan? You might want to skip this. This has nothing to do with Kirihara. It's all about what's revealed to us about Fuji in Genius 218...

( ... and why it pisses me off so much. )

You know what. Ignore this and go to caillen's post [here], because she's a Fuji fangirl, and she says it a whole lot better than I do.

PS. All comments are screened by default. I did not bash Fuji, I would appreciate it if you didn't get on my hide about it. I don't mind discussion, and kudos to everyone who's been civil. I'm actually surprised I've had to screen comments on this. *not amused*

If your comment hasn't been unscreened it either means 1) I haven't replied to your comment yet (I don't have much time right now), or 2) You're trying to start a fight and I'm not even going to bother.

Naruto. I love this series to bits, and every chapter that comes out just reminds me time and time again why I do. And why I love the characters in it. Each character's strength is so different from each others, and well, I just wanted to say that SHIKAMARU KICKS SO MUCH ASS!!!

I never really comment on Naruto chapters anymore, because mostly my fangirling has been taken away by the PoT manga chapters. And because if I ever talked about Naruto, I wanted it to be more than senseless fangirling, which they would have been. Geez, you would have been littered with "Neji so cooool!" and "Sasuke must die!" and "Shikamaru rabuuuu!" so many times in the past couple of weeks you'd be asking me to shut up. ;P


Genius 216

Correct me if I'm wrong, but none of the Seigaku members know about the Ryoma vs Kirihara match correct?

No other reactions on this chapter. Fandom has made me prickly where it involves the Fuji vs Kirihara match, so I probably won't be commenting throughout the entire S2 match. I'm just sick and tired of reading about people not liking Kirihara. I can understand why, but logic doesn't help me from getting annoyed. I mean, I want to see Fuji kick some Rikkai!ElfBunny butt, but I don't dislike Kirihara, and I actually do like the little imp more than I like Fuji, so yea.

If someone was getting protective because I was hating her bitchsmacking dorky poo Sanada (:P) then I suppose the same can be said with me involving Kirihara. Though I don't really care if people don't like him, I just don't want to know.

Mura, you were wrong. This wasn't a Fuji episode. It was a Mizuki episode. XDDD At least, he was the highlight of the whole thing. muscatlove has a summary of the episode [here].

I had more off-court shots than I did of Kirihara and Fuji combined. ^^;;;

Edit: caillen wanted to see a clip of blushing Mizuki, so [here you go].

( anipuri 124 screenshots x52 )

Geez. You'd think the world would have had enough fangirling from me regarding these chapters. >.> It's just that it makes a world of difference when you actually see the chapters, and even more so when you can finally understand everything that's being said.

I will save you from going through yet another AIM fangirling session between caillen and I. This time I try to be coherent, except I kind of fail.

( Cut to save those tired of me rambling about the recent manga chapters. )

[Scans to chapter 215.] Link courtesy of lechaco. She also has a more detailed summary of the chapter [here], where we finally find out exactly what it is that Yukimura's illness is.

And only one thing to say. SEME YUKIMURA BABY! If Yukimura looked like [this] all the time, I would absolutely adore the guy. I wibble. Even if the bandana is lame, but omfg now that is how Rikkai Dai Fuzoku's captain is supposed to look like. ♥

( Where Swyth and I do the once in a lifetime wibbling over Yukimura. )

Other than that.
1. I love their school uniform. And the hyotei trophies masquerading as scarves.
2. I love that shot of Kirihara blocking Sanada's hand with his racket.
3. Nice shot of Fuji on the last page.

bang_squared has kindly written a detailed chapter summary [here].

( Why Sanada should be boiled in a vat of oil. )

Ganked from cugami.

Remember the [Crimson Room]? And because I love you all so very much, you should all try the [Mysteries of Time and Space]. Chances are, if you're online in AIM then I'd have given you this link already, but otherwise, you should go there now and try it. XD XD

BTW, the lock with all the symbols? Have fun. ^_____^ It's what I was doing when sadistic little me decided I must share the torture fun with everyone else. >D

P.S. I ended up ignoring everyone on AIM while I was playing this too. I'm sorry. ^^;;;

Edit: Fixed the link. Also, if anyone makes it to the color wheel room (level 7), were you able to get out of it? Because I am STUCK. The teleporter keeps giving me a mixture error. I cannot for the life of me figure out why. I would like to know if someone's made it out, just so I actually know there is a way out of it short of cutting off an arm and a leg and promising your first born child to it.

Edit 2: Nevermind. Made it out.


re: The Band of Princes Film - Kick the Future! AMV. I'm assuming nearly everyone else has seen this, but to save koutenken the bandwidth (who we all have to thank for encoding it), I've uploaded the file to my server for those who have yet to get it.

1. Fuji x Taka Moment!

2. Tezuka as a drummer. I like. I like drummers, why do you think my Rikkai-verse states that Marui plays the drums? That aside, Tezuka playing drums made me like him a bit more. ^_^ No, he actually struck me as having some personality here. I mean wow, he actually poses with that sunset, and he smiles (kind of). AU Boyband!Drummer Tezuka I like. XD

3. Gakuto is the CUTE. *_* And omg he all but sparkled at Momo! MomoGaku OTP! Even the Boyband AU Crack states it is so!

4. I liked Mizuki. *dies*

5. I liked Oishi in the GP rain scene.

6. Eiji, Oishi and Tezuka go Charlie's Angels meets You're Under Arrest. >3

7. Atobe. Was born to be on stage. And Oshitari looks great on guitars.

Now gekidasa has no choice but to write PoT boyband AU smut fic. :P Hey, you can even make Akutsu their bouncer, just so you know... *meaningful look at Shishido*

Edit: Band of Prince PV taken down.

... but you're curious anyway. ^_~

This is the result of watching Tenipuri 122 with caillen and me crying out "Mizuki!" when Kirihara came on screen. (Yes, I knew it was Kirihara, but they look so alike, especially when Kirihara's being evil.)

( ... and you thought the Fuji househould was dysfunctional. )

And I now have my ULTIMATE TENIPURI PAIRING! And don't call it crack, because it's canon, really. And I have proof!

( Why Tezuka x Marui is not crack, but fact. )
