lucathiaRecent anime and manga I've been following:
La Corda d'Oro secondo passo special - Eee, I haven't thought about Corda much lately. This...only 2 episodes? I wanted to screencap a lot of scenes, but I was eating dinner while watching. :'D I can't get used to the summer uniforms and kept staring at Fuyuumi's to see how the music and normal department ones were different. First episode featured Kira a lot. He sure moves fast. Shimizu was sooo adorable when he said he wanted a viola as part of the ensemble. <3 I want to see Hihara figure Yunoki out (or the Hihara commercial part!!), but it won't happen in 40 minutes. ):
One Outs episode 24 - Only one more episode until the end. ): The series can get a little repetitive, but I'll still miss it. I laughed a lot watching this episode. Usually, Toua's antics make me smirk or snort, but today I was laughing so hard. And my dad was behind me watching the episode (he's never seen any before and it was without subtitles, but he got the gist of it since it's baseball after all. I think his presence and laughter made me laugh even more when Toua let the bat fly at the pitcher). I wonder if the manga goes on further or if this is the entire series.
Bokurano 58-60 - Machiii. Ushiroooo. I think scanlations have mostly caught up with the Japanese releases? I only have raws up to ch.60. Gods, what drastic events. Machi's sweet confession...and then her sudden demise and Dung Beetle's decision... D: I was quite surprised to see another Machi. Why was she wearing summer clothes? I almost thought Dung Beetle revived her and she forgot everything that happened from summer on...but that's not the case, yeah? This is another Machi...
Man, what it must feel to be Ushiro's dad...talking to his son (trying to have a heart to heart!) and then finding him gone already. T________T What's going to happen to their world? They're short one pilot, but anyone else added at this point wouldn't have the impact of Ushiro as the last one.
...I really want to see their Earth survive at the very least. It would suck so much if all of them ended up dying and they lose the match at the end. D: Of course Ushiro could always decide that their earth isn't worth it.
SHAMAN KING KANGZENG BANG - Okay, first, the Marco fight? Totally gives Marco the spotlight he deserves. Little Marco is cute and Lyserg in glasses is just lajdkl;fa;. And now, the "true" ending. It makes me rethink my old SK fanfics (oh how wrong I was with the Shaman King theory). And Horo Horo. Horo Horo is so COOL. Kororo felt a little out of the blue, but what a tragic past. D: Damuko's really pretty though. Horo Horo's already a god, sort of, so why do the wolfs need to be Shaman King? They're already so in tune with nature...but of course, the Shaman King has the absolute power...but dying to become SK doesn't sound all that appealing.
Lately, I've also been rewatching and rereading parts of PoT to gather material for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
twistserve_tcg. I finally finished reading the series last week. I couldn't bring myself to read the last few chapters for the longest time. Part of it had to do with who had to sit out for the final match. X3;; And the other part was just feeling weird that the series actually ended (after following it for so long). All these cool new moves and new characters make me wish Konami would make a new Prince of Tennis tennis game like Form the Strongest Team. I absolutely love that game.

I'm thinking he probably just conquered hell or whoever was supposed to look after him. Haha, I don't remember anymore! The manga details are fuzzy to me now.
