So, I'm watching Saiyuki Reload: Gunlock.  Ok, first of all, what was the animation budget for this? $5?  And when did Goku start being 12?

Anyway, I have reached the part where Yaone and Dokugaku save Kougaiji with The Power of Their Love, which may or may not be somewhere around my favorite part of the entire manga.  Stop looking at me like that.

Since I watch the anime mostly for the Kougaijitachi filler, should I watch the whole thing, or just recommended eps?  (Particularly appreciated are "These are not my friends!  They are my subordinates! And we are enemies! I do not-YAONE!  Stop talking to Hakkai! LIRIN! Get off his shoulders!" moments, because we like watching our High Strung Emotastic Woobie Prince try to be a cool villain and fabulously fail at it.  Yes, yes we do.  We await the day Hakkai invites them over for tea.)  And when is the three-armed Goku moment?  Or have I missed it?

ETA:  Wait!  Was it a three armed Goku, or everyone looking like monkeys?  I forget.

Maybe if the current manga bossfight EVER FUCKING FINISHES.

*nods* I've been avoiding the scanlations because I want to read Reload 9 without knowing in advance everything that happens. =P

I have insufficent self-control for that. But getting it one chapter at a time is like dying by a thousand tiny paper cuts, so!

I hear thee. I just want this one volume at least a little unspoiled because I'm thinking it will be the last one.

IMO, she'd have to wrap things up ludicrously fast. Speed of sound fast. Though I'd have to actually sit down and pay attention to calculate it.
