It's Saturday!

Bleach 114! I was right! They are taking a few extra unneccessary seconds on each scene. Certain places just feel like there is too much of a pause. Anyway, the fight was nice and I'm looking forward to the shinigami's fight. ♥ Hitsugaya!


Hana Yori Dango S2 6! This show makes me laugh so much. It's such a well- produced, fun, modern Cinderella story. This episode features Valentine's Day. As oryssein would say, it's about the chocolate! mmm. Storywise, *spoilers* they are up to the point where Soujiro's past love is about to be revealed and Makino becomes a maid in Doumyoji's house. Have to admit that yes, Soujiro's new look is getting him extra points, but that crying scene in the preview looks oh-so-fake.

And a follow-up on The Trax post. I am so amused by their song, Over the Rainbow ~ rock version. It starts off as an angst-ridden ballad and then there is MEOWing! It's so mystifying. There is also a non-rock version which is less amusing, but here is the rock version for the curious.

Doujinshi circles and fanarts...or the internet makes my fingers itch.

Was surfing through some Japanese doujinshi artists' sites today. On the whole, doujinshi artists are quite talented (attributed to all that they are exposed to, they have to be to stand out), but on the other hand, the doujinshi artists drawing CLAMP characters aren't very good. (There weren't any successful interpretations of Sakura, Syaoran, Fay or Kuro found today.)

Here're my recs.
Op.5 - 104 love
Bachiatari - 104 humor
Rubbish Heap - 104 love
押入れ（寝ない子さま - a fic writer, but has 3 elegant sketches of xxxholic characters.
...........
The fandoms for Tenipri, Naruto, Hari Pota & Hagaren are enviable for having a good many more talented doujinshi/fanart artists. My recs for the Hari Pota fandom could take another 2 posts...kidding...mostly.

Must mention the greatness of the Juuni Kokki fandom which has loveable artists that excel at detail and decoration.

をや - great black and white sketches.
Luna*tic*gate - nice coloring
Honeydew - cute
Unfortunately, some of the best Juuni kokki sites disappeared..darn.

and Drawer Geeks, a mostly American group of working illustrators being fanartists.
