Noblesse, Working, Kuroshitsuji

Noblesse
I'm really liking this web manhwa. I usually don't like vampire stories, but the humor in this charmed me. I keep expecting Rai to be super good at everything, but he fumbles a lot with modern things like here with ramen. The mix of action and humor is great. The mahwa is originally published here every week. (M-21 is growing on me!)

Working!!
On a whim, I watched Working!! this week. I found it cute. :3 I quite liked Takanashi Souta because he's fairly responsible, and I think he'd totally get along with Asuka from Otomen with their love of cute things.

Kuroshitsuji II
Didn't think I'd be watching this, but Nico Nico Douga has an official channel for it, which makes things interesting. I watched the first episode with everyone's comments running across the episode. In episode 2, when one of the characters (I won't say who for those who plan to watch S2) broke down the dam, everyone went, "SHIZUO"! A bunch of comments like that flew across the top. Shizuo is sure famous for his violence. As for the anime itself...I have no idea what's going on. =/ Need explanation please.

Fic writing, CMX manga
I've been poking at my fic, Memories of the Future for days, yet I've only got around 900 words for the next chapter. I even bought volumes 7-9 of the manga in English (I already had Land of the Blindfolded in Chinese) as reference. I then found out that CMX has closed??? I guess this means I need to hurry up and try to find volumes 1-6 somewhere. =/ This really sucks because CMX actually publishes a lot of shoujo series that I like, such as Tsukuba Sakura's works!

Haha, it really doesn't! It follows the manga even less than the anime does! What's up with this series |DDDD Actually, I couldn't follow the plot of that musical at all, even when I only focused on it! Besides a few scenes, like when they fight demons! Because, uhh, then it's kinda obvious :| I even read some synopses back when it was first running and I still couldn't figure it out |DDDD It was like, Ruito is coming to visit? But things are attacking! Now Grell showed up! Whaaaaat!? Now more things are attacking and people are dying except maybe not and huhhhhh?! It's... really not that great |D I'm buying the second one when it comes out, but only because it has my cute kiddo in it and I love him to itty bits and pieces ☆ I hope this one at least has more singing in it, the last one hardly felt like a musical!

XDD That doesn't sound like a good show to watch while eating at all! I dunno, recently I haven't been interested in any of the new anime, besides Durarara last season :/ Maybe we're going through a slump |D

Three different mediums. Three different stories? XD; Does Kuroshitsuji have video games based off of it? I bet the story there (if video games exist) is completely different too.

Musicals should be full of singing!! Otherwise it's more of a play than a musical.

High School of the Dead wasn't good to watch while eating. There was a lot of gore and blood splattering and all that. ^^;; I'm still following spring series that continued into summer, but the new summer series don't interest me. I'm looking forward to the fall series though! :3

[xianaasuka.livejournal.com]

Pretty much! I don't remember that happening with anything else, usually SOMETHING will be the same XD There is a video game! I haven't heard anything about it yet, though, haha.

I agree! Then the singing just feels out of place. I didn't think the songs for it were that great, anyway, besides Shougo+Ruito's! The Sebastian and Grell song was pretty great, but Matsushita Yuuya's voice is a little too high for Sebastian, I think |D;;

Yikes, definitely a midday kind of show, I guess XD Oh, I started Giant Killing, which I guess sorta started at the end of spring~ I think it's the only soccer I like at all |DDD Hmm, what's in the fall, I wonder~

[lucathia]

Now I'm curious. XD; If Kuroshitsuji has a DS game, I'll check it out...

I downloaded the songs to listen to. I don't remember any of them. XDD

Uh yeah, definitely! I think watching something like High School of the Dead is better left for daytime. XD; I'm watching Giant Killing. Haven't watched the latest episode yet. Hehe, but I was very amused that Okiayu Ryoutarou voices Mr. ETU. Heard him speak only a little before going yup, that's Okiayu right there. I'm looking forward to Bakuman, but I don't know if that's fall or later. I hope it's fall. XD;

[xianaasuka.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it looks like it's for DS. Kuroshitsuji: Phantom & Ghost, says Wikipedia!

The only one I remember is the SebGrell one, because I watched it a couple times? And it's really annoying and all about red vs. black and they're like "Aka ka?" "Kuro ka?" or something the whole time :(

Yes! I think he needs to talk more because Okiayu Ryoutarou ♥ I am really really far behind on it. OH BAKUMAN!!! I forgot about that!! Yessss looking forward to that SO MUCH T____T I hope it's fall too! I saw Bakuman in (American) Shonen Jump the other day, I hope it gets licensed properly and they start releasing the manga here ;____; and legal anime would be great too, of course |D

[lucathia]

Hm, the summary says that Ciel and Sebastian get sent off on a mission for the Queen. And dishwashing is involved as a minigame. |D Sounds like a generic situation for Ciel to get into that probably doesn't have much to do with the manga. But hehe, dishwashing.

*listens to it* Sebastian's voice is pretty high! :O

I hope his character gets a larger part just so I can hear him talk more. |D I'm excited for Bakuman! I hope there won't be an anime original ending since the manga is still ongoing...unless the manga's ending soon. I'm surprised Bakuman isn't licensed yet. :O It's such a educative manga about how manga works. XD; And it's by such famous mangaka! Did you hear that there'll be a spin off of Otters next week? I wonder how that'll be like. :O I wanted one of Trap or Money and Intelligence. |D But Otters...maybe it'll be a Death Note parody.

[xianaasuka.livejournal.com]

I guess so! As long as Grell isn't introduced yet again |DDD Dishwashing minigame!? What a concept |D I can't imagine Ciel doing dishes, though .____.;;

Right!? o_____O He's perfectly capable of singing low notes too, though! (He's the one that does the ending for KuroII, did you know?)

Yeah |D Character songs would be great too |DDD Hmmm, I wonder :( Maybe they'll split it up the way they did with Death Note. But then, so far there isn't distinctly a first half and a second half... I wonder how it's going to end o____O It seems like they've done so much, but they could still do more... Ooh, it looks like the first volume of the manga will be released here August 3rd, according to Amazon! YAAAAAAY~ Oh, yeah! I really wonder o____O Haha, a Death Note parody! That would be hilarious. I loved the very beginning when they referenced it all the time... I want to read PCP! They made it sound so cool... Oh, and the textless Crow as well *_____* Maybe if this one works well, we'll end up seeing some of the other ones too XD

[lucathia]

I bet he would be introduced again. |D Maybe we play as Sebastian instead of Ciel? I can't imagine Ciel doing dishes either.

I didn't know! The ending sounds pretty. I like it.

Bakuman doesn't feel like it has distinct divisions...are there even arcs? Oh whoa, so Bakuman is licensed? Coolness. :3 PCP sounds very cool. And textless Crow must be so pretty!
