dorama: Musashi, ep 8

Finished the second disc of Orphen's Revenge and decided to get an ep of Musashi watched.  This was a mistake, as it is now 2:30 am and bedtime, and I really really need to know what happens to Oshina after that last scene with her.

However, the main reason for this post is to say that I MUST stop expecting Musashi to have the same scenes as Vagabond.  I was really expecting Takezo and Otsu to see each other at Yagyu castle because their encounter in Vagabond is likely my favorite non-fight-involved character scenes, and very sweet.  But then, as written in Musashi, he probably would have just stayed with her if they had met, so it's likely for the best.

But I wish to kick old man Yagyu for sending Otsu away on an "errand" because he knew Takezo was there.  It was half "I adore this girl and sshe's just perfect for my grandson" matchmaking and half "lets see if this guy is good enough for her"(naturally, the conclusion was "not yet, but someday" which is right)  It was best for the story(and resulted in my favorite fight so far in the series) but bad for the shipper in me.

Still getting more and more interested in Kojiro and Oshina's storyline...it's a bit of a dark parallel to Takezo and Otsu's.  Course, even though I like her more and more, I have her pegged for death before long(but hopefully not just yet...I shall know in the morning) but I expected wrath and vengeance as a result.

And finally, I loved the look on Takezo's face when Jotaro made his speech to the girl at the inn about how she should wait for him until he becomes strong enough to protect her "Uhm...yeah...I've given that speech, and...ah...kid, I'm trying to think of a good way to ditch you that won't make you mad or put you in danger, stop making me want to keep you."  The look tops the "poor kid I know how you feel and if anyone sees this I'll kill them" hug after Jotaro's speech about being used to being abandoned.  I'd declare them woobies for those 3 minutes it took to have those 2 scenes, but I'd get perforated by the characters for it.

Sigh...this was going to be a 2-3 sentence post about having to stop expecting Musashi to have the same scenes ans Vagabond...

Off to bed I go.

oooooooo

So when I was on the phones, I talked all the time with Noretta, who had a lt of the same interests as me, including manga and anime.  She's also a fan of Wallflowr, and I told her aboutthe upcoming dorama and anime, and she mentioned that she and her sister have tons of korean doramas on their computer.

Long and shor of it is that I get a list, and get to get whatever I want burned onto DVD, as long a I provide the DVDs.

So, woo!
