I swear. All I make are fan-raving journals nowadays. But I have to get this off my chest before I explode. And seeing as I can't draw fast enough to satisfy my urges, I shall just rant as an anonymous nobody on teh interwebs. Ah, interwebs what did I used to do before you? Anddd...fangirl mode in 3....2......1:

What IS this? I swear I just had a nostalgic run about 6 months back. DARN YOU, SEKI TOMOKAZU. YOU AND YOUR SMOOTH, NICE SOUNDING TENOR-Y VOICE. HOWWWW??? HOW DID IT HAPPEN AGAIN. D8<

I can't escape it. I innocently heard a Saiunkoku Monogatari theme song the other day, and decided to listen to another one. By chance, I chose a character song. In particular, Ryuuki's. (I have no idea who Ryuuki is. I've never seen SM.) Buuuutt..despite never having seen the series, Seki-san's voice never escapes my memory . Why did you have to be the voice actor for him D<????!! To which Bassara was reminded of just how nice his voice sounded and from there, Fushigi Yuugi somehow wormed its way back in. Yeah, there's half the answer..to...whoever wants that free sketch from my newest pic. Keke, that's not the hard part anyways I am not ACTUALLY wanting to give anyone a free sketch ...but if you CAN answer where it's from.....I'll assume you loved FY as much as I did.


That's right, people. The completely biased-to-shounen, lover of all things sharp and stabby, violence-approving Bassara-san .....had her anime origins in SHOUJO. Point your fingers and laugh now. I know you want to get it out.
I don't suggest this series for anyone. Only because it is the single series where I throw all reason out the window and love simply because it is..what it is. Nothing ever reeaallyy made sense in this series If you stopped to think about it. And, no matter what anyone said about the OVAs, I loved them. Was it unnecessary? Yes. Was the plot totally disjointed? Yes. Was Miaka still as annoying as ever? Almost. Did they step all over Tasuki's image? Yes. Despite all that, was I busy taping up the pieces of my heart anyways after hearing these particular sentences?

"Could real friends have ever been so quick to distrust each other?"
"What are you saying!? We're best friends! We always were and will always be!!! I loved you! I've always loved you!!"


...................................(yesssss).

Whichever one of you smartasses at Studio Pierrot decided to animate that scene like that.... YOU D<...you have my eternal gratitude. );

Any Chichiri fangirl will know. Exactly. What I'm talking about. And if you don't, you're OBVIOUSLY missing the OVA


Anyways...Thanks Watase-san. Thanks for introducing us to the most loyal, most self-sacrificing, kindest bunch ever.....and then systematically slaughtering most of them. You, my dear mangaka, are the reason why I have ducttape all over my thumpy blood recycler D<.

Yeahh...I'm going to stop now. I just reread everything I wrote and I sound like a sap. Dammit.
