Kill No More, Natsuyuki Rendezvous

[lucathia]

OMG, Kill No More is getting a manhua?! (Yu Wo plurked a few pages of it) I hope it is! It doesn't sound like it's been set in stone yet, but goodness am I excited. I didn't like the beginning of Kill No More, and it gets a little messy, but I love the main character. <333 Besides, dragon mounts and dragons in general. It turned into my second favorite of Yu Wo's series (first being Legend of Sun Knight).

Linked these in comments but not in a post:

J.U./Rippleless LSK art:
♥ Elaro and Hungri (Hungri telling Elaro that he'll grow taller in the future)
♥ Lesus and Hungri

Neko Kreuz art:
♥ Promotion art of Grisia from Neko Kreuz (there'll be a life-sized prop of Grisia in Hong Kong as advertisement)
♥ a panel of Sun and Adair (I want this volume already so I can see Adair!!!)

Caught up with Pinocchio (webtoon) and was in the mood for series involving ghosts, so I started watching Natsuyuki Rendezvous. I'm liking it so far~. I scavenged around for the manga and read up to volume 3. Huh, this is quite a short series! Guess I'll find out what the ending is from the anime, since it should cover all 4 volumes. But now I have to wait for the episodes to air each week, boo.

Also plan on checking out: Moyashimon season 2, Sword Art Online
Behind on: Hunter x Hunter, Eureka Seven AO, Sakamichi no Apollon, Uchuu Kyoudai, Ginga e Kickoff!, Area no Kishi, Hiiro no Kakera
Still following: SKET Dance, Kuroko no Basket

I'm behind on so many series. -___-; Perhaps I should just watch series only after they finish since I fall behind anyway.

Trying to reorganize this journal a bit (separating fics from all the other junk better)... goodness are there some embarrassing entries. OTL I gave up after going through my 2006 entries.

I've been feeling very lethargic. No motivation at all, and I'm currently hating my writing. *stabs it* Also, the time stamps of some of my fics depress me, and I keep wondering why I've let these fics stagnate when I should have been able to finish them quickly. I'm pretty sure I'll feel better once I actually finish a few more of these fics. So here's to fic revival in the near future of some of my back-burner WIPs...

Noblesse 242
Random Noblesse talk. XD; Gejutel's soul weapon! Oh gosh did he look cool~. Also, the origin of the Dark Spear. Gives me shivers!

Hi lucathia!

When the PoT/FE universe releases me and I'm in wireless internet land, perhaps I shall be able to explore all the Yu Wo stuffs you've been putting up. I'm just excited thinking about all of the beautiful art and awesomeness. And I can actually look at your con-report pics too.

Dragons \o/ !!!!!!!

I'm on Episode 6 of Sakamichi no Apollon so I'm behind there with you. But I'm not watching anything else other than Kuroko no Basket so I don't feel overwhelmed with behindedness. *hugs*

Wow, you've had the journal since 2006! That's a lot to go through!

Ahhhh don't stab the writing! Your writing is good, but I do understand that there are many times we all hate our writing. If you want to continue stabbing, I insist on using Ragnall :D

Cheers to your fic revival!

PS - I just looked at the header and noticed it had more people than I remembered. So pretty *_* Who is the one on the far right?

[lucathia]

Hello Hymn! ♥

Oooh, I'm such a huge fan of Yu Wo's works. I would love it if I had more people to flail about it with. :D Good luck with conquering your PoT/FE fic! *___*

I especially love dragons that can also transform into humans, which both Fire Emblem 9/10 and Kill No More have. :D

Ahhh, I'm even more behind than you with Sakamichi as I've only watched episode 1. But since it's a complete series, I can marathon it one day now! \o/ I caught up with Kuroko no Basket last week. Much awesomeness! I've already read the manga once up to the latest chapter when I was reading it, but I've glossed over so much that now I'm rereading again. And imagining everyone's voices this time around. Suwabe as Aomine kind of surprised me a lot. I wasn't expecting Aomine's voice to be so deep!

I've had this journal since 2005. I was looking through the entries and feeling a bit touched that there are still a lot of people I knew from back then who are still around, and also sad about the ones who have moved on from LJ land or who I've lost touch with.

Haha, Ragnell might just be what I currently need. A Ragnell through my writing. Sometimes, some writing just needs to be thrown away. -__-; I seem to be feeling a little blue over not just my writing... but my writing is currently what is easiest for me to tackle, so I shall tackle that. Completing a few of my fics should make me feel better. ^___^

Haha, I did add more people! Six more. The one on the far right is the Metal Knight. :) You seem to be interested in the brown-haired ones!

[absolutehymn007.livejournal.com]

I so want to flail Yu Wo with you too!!! I think once I'm moved in and get past band camp and get used to a consistent work schedule, I'll be able to start tackling my list of things I want to explore. *nods*

PoT/FE is so clingy sometimes x.x A few days ago, I decided to go ahead and work on the Lord Yukimura Sr. meets his wife story to feel like I'm progressing... and then I'll go back and finish out PoT/FE. I'm just working on the main three scenes for now before I form the outline of events I want to have happen and decide if it's going to switch POVs. /o\ Stuff to do.

Dragon King Sakaki!!!! ;) I love dragons period.

I was at Episode 1 for weeks until last week.
I LOVE KnB (and I'm sure you can tell lol). Yeah, I read the manga to Ch. 173 in three nights and it didn't quite sink in deeply. I was considering re-reading it too!
I had already heard Suwabe as Aomine when I started reading it, but I suppose if I had to guess at what voice he would have, it would have been an Oshitari like one haha. Like a lethargic breathy dark one.

Rimfire (the new OP) makes me lol. And I still have Can Do stuck in my head.

Oh nostalgia... ;-; I'll be one of the ones that will always be around I'm sure. And if I'm not, we'll still keep in touch!

Sometimes I'm envious of people who can throw away their obstacles so they can really move on. I can't bring myself to do that. And yeah, I get you on feeling blue about other things and tackling the easiest one. Very rough and mentally draining x.x I love you and I hope you complete a few of them!

Not gonna lie, I read that as "Meta Knight" and I was like "How?!?!??!?!" and "Where??!?!?!?" at the same time XDDD Yagyuu has brown hair. Lol - I do like a lot of brown haired characters. Earth (in the picture) looks handome and gentle and Metal looks a bit dashing and confident. The other ones that catch my attention are the one next to Metal and the one with dark hair next to Sun.

[lucathia]

So many exciting things happening in your life! ♥ It'll make any free time feel all the more rewarding. :)

Aw, clingy fic. It's making sure that you'll continue lavishing attention on it and not let it fade away (like what I've done for a lot of my fics... -___-;;). Sounds like you have a lot to do for this verse still! Ahhhh, POVs... I really like switching POVs way too much. I've kept it one POV per chapter (and I'm trying not to repeat yet) for my latest fic Invincible... but I still feel like I'm making things very disjointed. I can never keep myself to just one POV when I have a large cast though! I like being in lots of different minds...

Hehe, dragons are amazing. <3

Perhaps I shall remedy my being stuck on episode 1 soon too. :D

KnB fever seems to have caught a lot of people. XD; I've been hearing mention of it here and there even though I'm not in any KnB communities. I don't have a very good grasp (or memory) of pretty much all of the non-colorful haired characters, so rereading has brought them more of the spotlight for me. XD;

I was imagining a voice sort of like Kise's for Aomine, actually! A higher voice than his current one but not as playful as Kise's. Now I can't unhear Suwabe though. XD

I still love the old OP a lot, but more GRANRODEO is love. :DDDD

I hope you're sticking around LJ for a long time to come!

I'm not one of those who can easily toss things either, but sometimes I feel like I probably need to do that and move on already. -___-;

Haha, Meta Knight. XD That would sure be a sight to see... So your next picks are the dark-haired ones! XD

[absolutehymn007.livejournal.com]

<3 Things are definitely starting to pick up!

There's the Lord Y/Lady Y story that will have scenes like dealing with various pressures of being a ruler, getting married, the birth of Yukimura Seiichi, some childhood memories and such, the death of Lady Y, and how the other two cope. Actually, thinking about makes me realize that it's going to be a big fic on its own omg. The other one I wanted to write was how Yagyuu's parents get together (the storyline I have for it is amusing and touching too). After I worked through the progression of the story a few times in my head, I looked at how their characterizations ended up as and hahahaha... it's totally Niou and Yagyuu's traits spread out between two parents. Very silly.

It's so much fun being in different minds! Long fic wise, I usually have POV per chapter. I don't think any of my oneshots switch at all. Good luck with Invincible!!!!!!

I saw Kise and was in love. Then I saw Midorima and loved him too.
Add in Kiyoshi (No. 7 on Seirin) and Izuki ("young Roy Mustang look-alike") and Aomine and it's allllll good :D LOL - the colors do help a whole lot.

You can never unhear Suwabe. Ever. Kise didn't sound like what I imagined him to sound (I was thinking a little deeper and smoother)... I can't describe how he sounds right now anyways, but it does work and is fun.

GRANRODEO is so much fun. They seem to have been gaining a lot of popularity too.

*twiddles thumbs* Dark hair is awesome too :) but yeah, I think I like more brown haired characters. But the deciding factor on appearances only is shorter hair. It is very rare for me to be attracted to characters (if I don't know them... or even if I do) with hair longer than Fuji's. Oshitari wins however.

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

I'm behind on a lot of things, too. I stopped watching Natsuyuki Rendezvous after the first episode and plan to pick it up again after a few more episodes have been released so I can watch it in chunks, so to speak. Otherwise I get totally behind or forget about it. =\

Ah, you're watching Uchuu Kyoudai? How do you like it? I dropped it after 7 or so episodes. I didn't not like it, but it didn't really keep my attention.

Watching completed series sounds like a Good Idea! XD;

[lucathia]

I dislike this feeling of being perpetually behind! With anime, with RL, with just... everything. It's a vicious cycle because with how behind I am already, I feel bad about trying to pick something up again, so I stall even more. Anywaaaaay, Natsuyuki Rendezvous. Watching it in chunks is a good idea! The entire series only seems to cover a short time span, so it even makes sense to marathon it. :3

I was watching it (especially since KENN voices one of the brothers). I stopped even before episode 7, but I quite liked what I watched. It wasn't entirely what I was expecting, but I seem to be in the mood for series about older people lately. :3 The bittersweet tone in the beginning really spoke to me, and I found myself cheering for Mutta to succeed!

Yup, yup, can't fall behind if the series is already completed. XD; Easier to finish the series without forgetting about it!

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

Feeling behind is such a terrible feeling. Especially in real life. =\ This whole marathoning completed series is looking more and more attractive. I have a friend who does it most of the time, and I think I'd actually prefer it. I wouldn't forget anything, and I would know to set aside a bit of time to see it all. \o/

The whole reason I started watching Uchuu Kyoudai was because it was adults, lol. I was cheering for Mutta, but I felt they were harping on the so-called rivalry or competition between the brothers. I suppose it's good it motivated them, I just...lost interest. Maybe now that there's more episodes out I can watch a chunk of them (I'm totally using that term for anime now XD) and see how I feel.

Oh! Do you mind telling me where you found the Natsuyuki Rendezvous manga? I hadn't seen it anywhere. (Err...only if it's in English. Otherwise google will help eventually. XD;)

[lucathia]

I usually do both, watching a few series that are currently running, and also watching one or so series that's already complete. It's been hard keeping up with current series, so for now, I'll be in the marathoning group, or at least watching in chunks!

I like siblings in fiction and found Mutta and his brother's relationship to be fairly interesting, but I also want to see them interact more as grown-ups. I was expecting Hibito to physically show up more. Maybe he does and I'm just not far enough with the series yet... I'd only watched the very beginning. :3;;

You can find the first 9 chapters of Natsuyuki Rendezvous on Batoto! Which covers up to most of volume 2. I read volume 3 in Japanese. :3;;

[alexdonnelly.livejournal.com]

I do that too, though it's been harder keeping up with running series this year for some reason so I've been watching old anime instead. Haha, orz.

From what I saw Hibito does show up more and there is some nice supportive brotherly stuff. :3 (I didn't see more than a couple of episodes, though.)

Oh, thanks! :D I'll have to read that...later.

[lucathia]

I'm now more motivated to watch more of Uchuu Kyoudai. :3 Now I have a good chunk of it I can marathon! \o/

[lucathia]

asdfkla;sjkf;dl Gejutel's soul weapon! First, I really like the name of the weapon. Legasus. Sounds pretty cool, in my opinion...like Pegasus, haha? XD And whoa, is it humongous. It fits Gejutel, but ooooooh gosh, Regis... Regis with this... I... can't imagine it. XDDD It'll dwarf him!

[lucathia]

Ooo, a mixture of Lancelot and Pegasus. I can see that. :D Dark Spear is such a... plain name. I guess it is a dark spear...

I wouldn't ever want to see Gejutel die. ;____; So yeaaah, Regis will be going without a soul weapon, but a mini lance that grows with him? Oh gosh, that sounds so cute...

[lucathia]

I suppose obvious names makes it so that... people can't mistake it for anything else. Seira's weapon also has a plain name, unless nobles didn't name that one. =x

Gejutel in the human world is so much awesomeness. <333 Regis growing taller la;jksda;djfa;sf. I find that hard to imagine too, a taller Regis... Ikhan would be so shocked. XDDD

[sac527.livejournal.com]

Yay Moyashimon season 2! \o/

I watch the first episode of Natsuyuki Rendezvous, but dropped it after reading the first volume, because ouch poor dead husband. ;_; Does he stop hurting?

Best of luck for your writing! <333

[lucathia]

Do you like the new art style? :O It still amazes me that Moyashimon got a second season. It's been some time since the previous season. :3

There is a (somewhat surprising) turn of events near the end of volume 2 of Natsuyuki Rendezvous. More feels for the husband guaranteed (though I was also pitying Hazuki).

Thanks! <333

[perkyandproud.livejournal.com]

I understand about not having motivation. If I come up with something that helps, I will be sure to let you know! :-)

*hugs you*

[lucathia]

Thank you Perky! This already makes me feel better. <3

[sencha-kt.livejournal.com]

Ooh you definitely have to check out Moyashimon! It's one of the cutest series ever ♥

[lucathia]

I've watched the first series! But haven't started on the second one yet. I was very excited when season 2 was announced. :D More cute microbes, yaaaay, and college setting!

[sencha-kt.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the second season is definitely living up to expectations ♥ You just can't go wrong with animated microbes, it seems...:P
