Quick Bleach Question
Nov. 23rd, 2007 12:29 pmThis is spoilery as it's about a character who appears around ch 243-250, for those who don't read ahead.

Nov. 23rd, 2007 04:57 pm Went to Hastings before work, got Eureka S1, Tactics Vol 1, Kekkaishi Vol 1 and the HC of Barb and C.J. Hendee's Rebel Fey all for $28.13. Have been very good otherwise(so I can give all my money to deep discount and rightstuf)
Then i got to work and realized that I DID NOT HAVE MY J.R. WARD BOOK!!!! I do have Catherynne M. Valente's In the Night Garden as a backup, but the idea of starting one book while in the middle of another gives me hives. Fortunately, I do not have that problem with manga. (I think I just left the Ward book in the parents' car yesterday.)
BTW, anybody go to Best Buy today? I'm wondering ifthey have Avatar or Stargate on sale.

Rose Hip Zero Vol 3
Vol 3 wraps up what I assume is act one of the book. Hopefully, it won't have Kasumi getting a new partner, as I'm somewhat attached to Kido(they remind me of Rin and Manji...if Manji used guns instead of 50 different kinds of blades and Rin were good enough to almost make him look like a wuss.) I probably shouldn't like Zero, but there's something about a character who brings a sword to a gunfight, not to mention a guy who calmly picks up his hand and walks away without even bandaging the stump. I'm not sure yet, though, what I think of the 2 year jump(it seemed rather sudden) or the apparent revelations about Kasami's origins. i was neutral about he Rose Hip Rose oneshot, though I appreciated alterna-Kasami's brief fangirling of Fujiki Naohito(she has good taste.)
Dokebi Bride Vol 4
Vol 4 was something of a break from the series's usual meta about myth and tradition in the modern world, with that aspect not really coming into play until near the end. I liked the focus on Sunbi's stepmother, and her trying to get close to Sunbi. I'm glad Marley avoids the usual cliche of having the stepmother and stepsister be evil and instead has Sunbi often being the one in the wrong. I mean, sure, her stepsister is amazingly annoying, but she probably wouldn't be anywhere near as bad if Sunbi hadn't rejected all her attempts at being friends. The story with the ghost grandmother was fun, and I'm glad the dokebi folklorist professor will apparently be around for a while (and it's interesting that he can see Gwangsoo) but I was disappointed that the rival priestess didn't show up until near the end, as the back blurb indicatesthat that's a major part of this volume.

I just watched the first episode of Ayakashi, a short anime that's a collection of 3 supernatural historical horror stories. It is, as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
magicnoire put it, "kinda awesome." The anime Mononoke(no relation to Princess Mononoke) is a followup to it. I shall most definately get the DVDs.
I bring you the awesome openning credits which, IMO, are what Samurai Champloo would kill to do so well:
