Musings of the Obsessive Kind

OK, apparently there is a live action Honey and Clover movie that came out earlier in the year. How come no one on my flist alerted me to it? You have failed me, flist :D I want to watch it, though not for 50+ bucks as that is what the super-duper shiny version on ebay with twenty-eight kinds of subtitles and spiffy cover costs. I’ll wait a bit.

( Honey and Clover movie summary )

In j-movie vein, are Love Complex and Tokyo Tower worth watching? Keeping in mind I have not read the manga for the former and the novel (?) for the latter.

I have finally watched all the subbed eps of Wallflower. I liked them tremendously, but am very upset they left out my favorite storyline from the manga: the one where Sunako gets posessed by the serial-killer s&m (but ladylike) ghost. And chains all the boys up in the dungeon and Kyouhei manages to escape and in order to exorcise the ghost, kisses Sunako because he knows that would freak her out so much from the contact with the ‘creatures of light’ (in the manga, that’s their first kiss). And then ends up carrying the now-unconscious Sunako up the weirdo stairs. It’s shippy and awesome and fun. Hmmm, I wonder if they left it out because the anime is somewhat more family-friendly? Though they seem to be moving storylines around a lot, order-wise, for some reason, so I guess there’s still hope :D

But anyway, the bulk of this post is going to be about ep. 8 of Nobuta Wo Produce. Which I ended up loving. The meta is going to be largely Shuji centric *gasp* because finally, 8 eps in, I’ve fallen for him (I didn’t dislike him before, just wasn’t particularly interested).

( Akira…shock. I am actually doing a Shuji meta )
