Liiiiiii-kuuuuun!!!!!! (also known as an anime rant)
When I was ordering Fruits Basket for my honours thing, I also bought the Cardcaptor Sakura movies. Amazingly, they turned up only a week later - that is, today. And, like I always do whenever I watch that show, I have once again fallen madly in love with Syaoran. Though I always have trouble connecting early-Syaoran with the love-sick puppy Syaoran. When he's interacting with Sakura, I don't care how he feels at the time, he's still adorable. As is Touya with his sister-complex. "Damn you for being the one destined to make my little sister happy! DAMN YOU." Well, maybe not that obvious, but it's damn close! Eeheee!
-sigh- CLAMP and their animators are such fangirls. I have no respect for them, so it's most unfortunate that I fall for their kyute fanservice in Cardcaptor Sakura and their awesome white-on-black art for xxxHolic. If I'm being cruelly honest, I actually really dislike CLAMP simply because they can't keep their complex characters IN CHARACTER, so they either resort to stereotypes, or change their characters to suit what they need at the time. And don't get me wrong, I love Li Syaoran to tiny bits and pieces, but watching the two movies right after each other? It's really freaking obvious that Li and Syaoran are not the same person. When I read the manga, I felt they might have been, maybe, but he loses a lot of his standoffishness in the anime, and, you know, acts his age, so...
That's the other thing. Bitch about kids mimmicking Paris Hilton and Barbie and growing up too fast in Western culture all you like, but the day I see a kid acting the way CLAMP's children do? Ho-ly crap will I be running for the hills.
Actually relating to the Honours thing, I went on wiki and read all the chapter summaries for the Fruits Basket manga.
...Kyou gets the girl! I'm so happy!
-cough-
I'm still ashamed I bought it, but I'm betting ten bucks, here and now, that I still end up marathoning the whole series, clutching a pillow and crying over Momiji. And then I'll do another marathon with my notebook, completely forget to take notes, and end up crying over Momiji. But then I'll watch the last episode and be all disgusted and write a good, long rant, and then realised I still haven't taken notes.
It shall be awesome.
EDIT: (8.39) NONE of the Fruits Basket DVDs work. I am going to have to return them. I am most displeased...
