meganbmooreMy eyes...my eyes...are crying...they are telling me to take a break from subs or they will pop out of my head and roll away to find a less abusive master. But...it's so hard to stop. At least the 4th disc ended at a decent point, as opposed to an evil point like the other discs(I WAS going to take a break after ep 21, but it ended with Musashi arriving and Shishido Baiken's house, and no way was I waiting with THAT fight right around the corner) But, the main OTP has paid off, even if they're being separated to caused angst and melodrama, and, except for Kojiro(cries a bit over Koto, even though she's known it was coming since it was established that Koto would be hanging around for a bit), all the important characters are at happy points in their lives(though Matahachi needs to beg Akemi to come back.) This pretty much means that all their lives are about to be ripped apart and start sucking and it'll become angst central until it's time for the next big fight.
Moving on...
The Musashi/Shishido fight was the best fight in Vagabond(so far) so I had VERY high expectations for it here, and fortunately it paid off.
Side trip to say who the HELL knocks on someone's door and asks to borrow the phone at TWO AM when the person is on the SECOND FLOOR and then gets upset when they're told it, hey, it's two am, and you expect me to do something to allow you into my apartment!!! Excuse? "I'm looking for someone who lives in this complex and my cell is dead and I saw your light is on...do you have a cell phone charger I can use?" As in "will you please open the door all the way and let me into your apartment?"
*seethe fume rage*
Anyway...
Ok, mad, more after shower.
Somewhat better now. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep in a few(I'm consoled by the fact that it IS entirely in the realm of possibility that some college kid forgot to recharge his phone and forgot his friend's apt # and didn't use his brain when seeing lights on...I figure 50-50 chance of freak and dumb college kid currently mistaking self-preservation for rudeness)
Anyway...Musashi...much pleasanter thing.
Except that I was going to talk about the Musashi/Shishido fight, which has a very sad ending...ending in Vagabond was sad too, but not AS sad.
Then I was going to talk about Kojiro/Koto, which is flatout tragic, so we'll just leave it at "I'm in mourning, even though I was expecting it"
Happier things would be that, despite my sadness at Jotaro apparently being permantently written out, he was written out in a good, closure way and gets to be happy. Also Musashi/Otsu happiness, despite the quickly approaching angst.
On the flipside, I'm surprised at how much I'm liking Matahachi and his storyline with Akemi. They are the cute OTP. Not that Matahachi is remotely worthy of Akemi(much less Otsu) but he's the only person who seems to have ever actually concerned himself with her needs, or tried to take care of her or consider her feelings. She, meanwhile, seems to be able to mostly rein in his...well...stupidity, which he needs. Now if he'd just grow a fraction of a brain and try to get her back, I might have some cuteness to sustain me through the quickly approaching angst and drama.
Incidentally, with other actors, I doubt I'd care for either Koto or Matahachi(in fact, he's easily my least favorite character of Vagabond, despite his occassinal plot usefulness) But Nakama Yukie is great, and the actor playing Matahachi(not looking up his name at 2:45 am) manages to make him come across as well intentioned, just a stupid(but funny) screw up.
Now lets see how that sleep thing works for me.
