HANADAN!!!!!! (and Ceres)

I have just read the spoiler on arashi.vox.com for ep 4 of Hana Yori Dango 2 that literally made me yelp out loud, thus waking and puzzling Mr. Mousie. Go. Read it. (It's not behind cut and is the first thing on the page). Hanadan TPTB, I love you.

I haven't even seen ep 3 yet *sooooon, preciousssssss* and I am already counting the days till next week! How will I survive until next Friday!

And [livejournal.com profile] alexandral, I found an awesome Ayashi No Ceres Toya/Aya mv




ETA: Seriously, I need help. It's after 1am here, I've been up for 18 hours, but I am not going to bed until hjsplit finishes and I can check workability for myself. Yikes.

Haven't read the manga...can't get past the art(but I keep trying!)

But...the spoiler...it makes me leery...

Heeeee.

Those spoilers make me giddy :)(But I think I am imagining quite a different scenario than you are :D)

The art is atrocious to start with (IMO) but gets noticeably better as she goes along. In the later volumes it's quite nice. Just skip the first 5 volumes or so.

But...I can't just start reading it 6 volumes in *stares at her like she's lost her mind* I'm sure after HYD 2, and then Meteor Garden(no way am I watching 2 versions at once!) the obsession will be enough.

But yeah, I can really only come up with a few scenarios from what I've read...I mean...I intellectually I KNOW it can't possibly be what it sounds like, but at the same time, I have no referrence to correct it with.

LOL, why not? They provide a summary of what happened up until that point.

I intellectually I KNOW it can't possibly be what it sounds like, but at the same time, I have no referrence to correct it with.

Heeee. Yeah, it can't be what it sounds like because can you say 'eviscerated by Makino with a rusty spoon? And then remnants dumped into the Sea of Japan by Rui?' :D (Also, girl, you have an imagination! I am thinking forced kissing at most :D) I have no idea how they are going to play this in the drama so I should prolly stay mum. But there is a scene in anime/manga/MG relatively early on when he goes nuts over being jealous with her and Rui and it's totally awesome and I think they are probably referring to that, transposed/reworked? But who knows. I am sure it'll be quite different since he is very different in his character development/growing-up in this late stage than he was at the point it occured in the original.

SPOILER FOR THOSE THAT HAVEN'T LOOKED!!!!!!

"attacks makino in the sexual way" DOES tend to lead to conclusions of more than forced kissing....

My dl just finished and I checked the preview for ep 4 and at the very end of it they seem to have a scene that it refers to and hmmmm...if that is what that is, that isn't an attack that would get you in trouble with the law, if you know what I mean. Kinda like not controlling yourself becausr you are too nuts about her around the girl who is confused about wtf, not tearing off of clothes and overpowering a girl by force. Which is what I thought (the former, that is).

There is also Shizuka (I think) and also Domyouji screaming so yay. And Yuki and Soujiro walking together (all unconnected scenes). I must make self go to bed!

Bed? Why? It's only...uhm..1? for you...

*is usually up to at least 3*

[identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com 2007-01-20 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. I've been up since forever though (7 am) and am so tired I can barely see. Besides, if I don't, I'll watch hanadan and liveblog and go to bed at 5am :)

I fail to see the problem with this...

and, FYI, I think that you have put Ceres in 3rd place for anime rewatching(firs is the current one, Spiral, second is Samurai Deeper Kyo)

[identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com 2007-01-20 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Heeee. Glad I served as a good Ceres pusher :)

[identity profile] meganbmoore.livejournal.com 2007-01-20 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
myeh...just adjusted it's position in the projected order of rewatch. Course, it'll take me long enoug to get to it that it could change again. *should not be doing rewatches when she has a giant backlog*

[identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com 2007-01-20 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ceres...Ceres...Ceres :)

[identity profile] meganbmoore.livejournal.com 2007-01-20 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Spiral trumps Ceres and SDK has swords and the advantage of being my first anime.
