Anyone want to turn these into an animated icon for me?
Also, some hastily thrown together(because I wanted one) emo Zuko icons, if anyone wants:
The last one should sound like David Bowie's "Everything I do, I do for you" in Labyrinth for full effect(or at least, it seems great in my head at 3:40 am...)
And now, I stayed up far too late doing these and will likely pay the price for it tomorrow, so, goodnight!
( spoilery for S1 )

...I followed a link at ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
magicnoire's LJ and learned that I did, indeed, own over half of these at one point in time, and still own many. Because they had Shatterstar as written by Fabian Nicieza. I find it difficult to feel shame over that, despite the pain to my eyes.

Shirogane no Karasu Ch 5
Dec. 7th, 2007 12:07 pm Hmm...so, I just read a little while ago that there will only be 25 chapters. Is this true? If so, is it because Akimine Kamijyo decided to make it a short series, or because of cancellation? Most importantly...DOES THAT MAKE IT MORE LIKELY FOR THE BOOK TO GET LICENSED SOONER?!?!?!?! *wants in hands*
Anyway: scans

Zombie Loan Vol 1
Dec. 7th, 2007 05:41 pm Hrm. So I...honestly have no idea what I think of this one. Essentially, we have a ditzy, clutzy, doormat heroine named Michiru who, if she doesn't wear glasses, can see collar-like rings around the necks of people who are fated to die soon. The closer to black the rings are, the closerthey are to death. Two of her classmates-Shito Tachibana, cold, elegant, well-mannered and quiet, and Chika Akatsuki, loud, rough and penny-pinching-survived an accident six months ago, making them legends around school. They also both have solid black rings. When Michiru tries to warn them, she learns that they actually died in the accident, but made a deal to come back as long as they pay off the debt racked up in doing so by killing zombies. They're also able to manifest weapons-Shito a gun and Chika a sword-to fight zombies, but were given the wrong hands when they were brought back, sothey have to switch hands when they fight. Why they have the wrong hands and can't just permanently get the right hands back isn't really fully explained, and neither is the deal...I'm filling in the holes with my recollections of what I've read in one or two f-list posts. When the boys realize Michiru's sight can tell whether or not a person is a zombie, the forcibly recruit her to their side, and when she dies, they add to their own debt to bring her back, because they can work off the added debt with her faster than they could work off the existing one without her, putting her firmly in their debt until their own is paid off. My overall thought of the plot is that it's like Yurara, but not as good(because Chika Shiomi is my shojo manga goddess.)
There are a lot of fun elements-the fighting, of course. The ferryman the boys owe their "lives" to, and his assistant, Yuuta, are a blast. For that matter, the boys themselves and the (seemingly onesided) rivalry are great. But it's also rather thrown together and things aren't always explained that should be. While you can fill in the holes, the holes are a little too big for the mangaka to get away with without comment. Then there's Michiru. Now, normally, I seem to have a lot less problem with females than others do, but I think it also means I hold things against them more whan I would otherwise(see: Ai Yori Aoshi.) As I mentioned before, the girl is a complete doormat. I will, however, let that slide as she supposedly has a Revolution at the end and won't be like that any more. I'll only hold it against her if it continues. However, she spends the entire book gasping and stuttering and squeaking and stammering and blushing and screaming and freaking out, to the point where I actually kinda hoped she stayed dead so she wouldn't be doing that stuff any more. She may get better, but I spent most of the first volume wishing she'd just go away so the book could focus on the funn, butt-kicking zombie boys(who don't like to be called zombies.) Still, despite the flaws, it was fun enough to at least get the second volume when it comes out.
Now, book aside...this mangaka's name...Peach-Pit? Seriously? That's Oh! Great levels of "I'm sure it sounds cooler if you live in Japan." Though, while not a mangaka but a character, Rod the Vampire Lord will always be my favorite.

"raised by pigeons" as a user interest has almost quadrupled...to 7 users. I find this to still be appallingly small.
For those who are unaware of or have forgotten the significance of this, I shall remind you.
Or if you don't want to read: Momoko, the heroine of Hikkatsu! Strike A Blow to Vivify was raised by pigeons and left her home to find her True Love, who she found in the form of the emotastic Shota, a young man who has spent years living in an Emo Fortress of Snowy Solitude, attempting to perfect the One Shot No-Fail Repair Blow, the karate move that he accidentally killed his master years ago, but that is meant to heal. (ETA: Please note that Shota is completely oblivious of his True Love status and it's debatable whether or not he even realizes Momoko is a girl...or that girls even exist.)
Yes, the fact that the heroine was raised by pigeons is the mildest crack in this entire book.
Yes, the entire thing is played out like it was a serious drama.
It is, after all, from the brain of the same person who went "what the world really needs is for 3 people to get transported to another world and have to strip elves to find pieces of the spell to get them back home and they have a giant tank and the elf who accidentally took them there accidentally transforms herself into a small animal and is in love with the jock." (I possibly just copied my description of Those Who Hunt Elves tolesbiassparrowand and pasted it.)
Amazon informs me that I can have Vol 2 on 12/15, which probably means late December/early January. I highly anticipate it.
More people should read it. And have "raised by pigeons" as an interest.
