GLOWING BLOOD! AND HAIR!

meganbmooreBecause the mailman is a shojo fan with psychic powers and is off fondling my Princess Tutu DVDs and cackling or some such, I just watched the Samurai X movie(the one based on the TV show, not the OVAs) and...ehm...mostly it was like the last 3rd of the TV series...one of those stories that manufactures events from Kenshin's past and brings in a person from said manufactured past event and creates the moral conflict and samurai angst and posturing. It entertained me well enough for an hour and a half and that's all that really matters.
Except why was Yahiko so unprickly? And why was Sano moderately smart and well behaved? Not his normal "my cocky stupidity results in brilliance" thing, but...normal smart? (And those two should cook for themselves if they're always going to complain about a girl's cooking.) And why was Sano standing there and telegraphing every single move to Kenshin instead of, you know, doing something? And why did Kenshin have his scars long before he actually got them? And when did Kaoru develop the psychic ability to tell when Kenshin was losing a battle from miles away? And what was with that Toki girl? Did she have a single scene where she didn't gasp, cry, collapse, or do some combination of the three? AND WHY WAS THERE SO LITTLE SAITO??
Especially that last one.
Butbutbut...
In the flashback at the beginning, the BLOOD GLOWS! I enjoyed that more than I should have and was saddened the blood didn't glow every time. I guess it was special emo tragedy blood. But also, when Kenshin goes into Battosai mode, his hair glows, and stayed glowing until he snapped out of it. And when Kenshin and Token Noble Foe From Kenshin's Past prepare the fight, their Battle Aura let out a blinding light that literally blinded everyone around them.
I made none of this up.
Why don't I have RuroKen icons? (Specifically of Sano or Saito. Especially of Sano.)
