Finally we return to our regular schedule

[petronia]

A side effect of having to spend twenty hours of a beautifully sunny long weekend in someone's basement backing up data to the web server, reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling all the software is that I read about a hundred pages of Trinity Blood and watched six episodes of Bleach, because I was going to lose them in the reformat and anyhow there was nothing to do but wait. ^^; Good episodes too, 29-34. It was a miracle that they played, although picture and sound both lagged at times. I managed to save 32 (expanded Renji and Rukia backstory!) and 34 (expanded Renji-Kira-Momo cuteness plus Aizen!) on zip disks so I won't have to re-download them, fannish priorities self-evident what. It's being brought home to me that I read most of this series in French and English. When I watch the anime I'm all like, "Gin speaks kansai? Who knew!" Also, Tenipuri voice actors. Also, Aizen/Momo WTF. It didn't strike me that way in the manga at all but would it kill Hayami Sho to switch his je ne sais quoi off for FIVE MINUTES PLEASE at least while you're inviting the little girl into your bedchamber thank you.

Also saved Trinity Blood 5, and watched it after I got home. I... I give up. XD;; If I hadn't been reading "Silent Noise" on Gord's veranda while waiting for Windows to install itself I wouldn't even know who Noelle was, and as it is I'm just like "...errm TIMELINE WHAT TIMELINE." Probably'll have to read all of RAM before anime is spoiler-safe, and even then. OTOH ep.6 is "Sword Dancer". Though that happens to be the one RAM story I thought didn't need to be a full episode, which only goes to show.

You know, having Hayami Sho cast as Aizen's seiyuu really should have been a clue. :)

Yeah, seriously. XD

Re Toribla anime: ....yeah. *headdesk*

They're randomly bouncing between ROM I & II and RAM I & II with nary a thought for coherency. I suppose it's just as well the series will be ending at 13 episodes (the last two will cover ROM II). Was kinda hoping they'd at least change the OP sequence but at this late stage (ep 8) it's probably not going to happen. I'm also finding the lack of violence terribly disappointing disconcerting.

Thirteen episodes?

This is going to be a worse botch job than Mirage of Blaze and Peace Maker Kurogane put together. I mean, what on earth is the point of doing ROM II if you're not going to do ROM III directly after?

According to the schedule on this site there will be more than 13 episodes of Trinity Blood.

Ah, my bad. ^_^;;

I don't have much faith in Gonzo turning over a new leaf in their treatment of the series so will have to decide whether to continue watching or not...

Meanwhile on reading the manga I was sitting there going "Ufufu gee this would be hawt if Momo were a boy actually it's sort of hawt anyway."

The language problem is one reason I don't feel at all prepared to write Bleach fic--after reading the whole thing in scanlation, I have no idea how the characters really talk, how could I reproduce their voices? Gin = kansai-ben whut?! etc.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

It is sort of hawt. XD I'd have no problem with it if it weren't for YOU KNOW SPOILERS, which is what pushes it into eep territory.

Want me to send you anime? I could just do you the ongoing Soul Society arc, well, as soon as I finish re-downloading what got wiped out. =_=

... Twenty hours? Christ, I hope you got hazard pay for that.

Good to hear the computer's fixed.

Wanna do something this week?

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Wanna meet me after work today? We could grab a drink and hang. Maternal and sororial units are in Edmonton, there'll be no dinner at home anyhow unless I make it. XD

[dipping_sauce]

Sure! I was gonna go downtown anyway.

Where/when?

Do a pricey terrasse! Do a pricey terrasse! Do a pricey terrasse! Terrasses don't exist here. But Starbucks here serve a green tea frappucino. Gosh, missing home is so ambiguous sometimes.

Sherbrooke metro at the turnstiles, 7PM? Won't make it too pricey, but. ^^;

[dipping_sauce]

That'll be great. (Especially the not-pricey part ^^;; )
