nothing to watch?

[seichan]

There hasn't been much to watch lately. I guess with the holiday or some sports-related thing (plus fandom/fansub wanking) there had been breaks in programming. Here's what I got caught up on.



xxxHOLiC 18 & 19! Episode 18 covered the travel-with-the-spirits-to-get-alcoholic-nectar story. Although I wasn't expecting the anime to capture the beauty and complexity of the manga drawings, the anime did have a nice stylistic interpretation. It was fun to watch. Episode 19 covered the snowman/fight contest. I think this was in the manga...a side story or something, but the anime re-told it to suit the media. It wasn't as funny as it could have been. Poor Watanuki has a great seiyuu with some great acting, but Doumeki just doesn't cut it as a straight man...I guess in every sense of the word.



Nana 17 & 18! cover the Trapnest concert. Hachi gets all anxious over Nana's reunion with Ren. She's like that gossip in high school that gets overly excited about other people's business. Ren isn't particularly handsome or interesting, but Yasu, Nobu and Shin are fun to watch. Reira also seems to be an annoying character. Maybe I should count the likable characters against the annoyances to see if the anime is worth continuing.
Likable: (Yasu, Nobu, Shin, Jun, Kyosuke, Nana, possibly Takumi) =7
Dislikable: (Hachi, Shouji, Ren, Reira, Sachiko) =5
haha, 7 has it.

I have a very off-topic question about clamp_now...? Is it okay to write a post looking for a translator for a Tsubasa doujin? clamp_now's just the biggest ml for CLAMP junkies and I'd feel I'd have more luck posting something there than in the various Tsubasa comms. Let me know if it's okay w/ you.

hey sure. just put [Slightly OT] in the subject heading.
(psst. can you upload a scan so we know what it looks like?...i'm hoping for some smutty vampire stuff...just kidding...haha)

Alas, it's the fluffy SxS type. Though I wouldn't be surprised if the vampire doujin start coming out soon enough.

Thanks so much! I was going to scan and show it to my flist but I also wanted to know what was going on, hence the translator hunt.
