I have spent the most of yesterday sleeping and my head is as good as new. Thank you so much for get better wishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are so many good things happening in the fandom life! Very-very shortly, as I am swamped with various RL things:

1.BSG!!!!!!!!!! I love you, everything is forgiven and I promise a complete re-watch.
- Gaius, I forgive you too.
- Tigh, I love you. Beyond measure.
- Lee, I love you and I always have.
- WHO IS THE FIFTH CYLON???
- Am I correct thinking that Earth is radioactive and that it is un-habitable?

Please , if you don't mind, link me to any interesting discussions about the episode 4.10.

2. Trigun is one of be the best anime I have seen so far. Vash is a spiky-haired twin of Father Abel from "Trinity Blood". I tried to watch this some time ago, but in a very bad copy. How much difference a dubbing made right can do to your viewing pleasure! I am adoring it to bits and if you don't see me for a couple of days this is because I am watching "Trigun".

3. Powerful Opponents I finished it in a fast mode and I think I have my own thoughts on the ending. But they aren't happy.

4. Iljimae: Where are the subs?? I am missing Shi Hoo!!!!

Trigun is the only one of the "OMG SO CLASSIC!" animes of the 90s that are considered to be crucial to every anime fan that I think lives up to the hype.

I think the balance between various aspects (humour and mysterious sad backstory, the single episode stores and the bigger arch) is perfect. And Vash is inimitable. He also reminds me of Harry Dresden. :D

Share PO thoughts!

I need to re-watch this , but I have two theories:

1. The one I like more, The bit at the ending is re-incarnation or alternative ending. And she will end up with the Presidents son in this one (he was saying something about proposing to someone in 3 years). Gwal Pil meets another lady (the secondary girl from "Capital Scandal"). His daughter lives with them both, she kept calling Gwan Pil a father.

2. Another alternative I like less is that she died. But I think I am wrong on this one, may be the first ending is the real ending..

And I am so glad you like Trigun.

I ming just pull all-nighter and watch the rest of it. Please tell me Vash is not going to die. :D

Vash does not die. I promise. Isn't he so awesome?

Hmmm, interesting takes on the ending. The soompi consensus is that the real ending is she is recuperating, and the other stuff are possibilities...

He is beyond awesome and I just reached the back story bit. What is he? Some kind of robot?

It might be. My view is based on the fact that the ending number 1 is filmed in normal colouring and the endings where she dies and the other ending where she sits somewhere in some garden with her father and says that "everyone is calling her back" are filmed in different hazy colouring, as if this is out of body experience.

One thing I am sure about - this is a strange ending. :D

YAY Trigun!!! Vash is one of my favorite characters of all time. I'm so glad you're watching it again and you like it!

I'm a little excited because you are the ONLY person on my entire f-list to really watch it. Eeeeeeee! XD

I LOVE IT! HOW HAVE I LIVED BEFORE WITHOUT IT?

Vash is fantabulous. I must make a picspam of him!. :D I am so curious as to where he came from and what is his past like.

THAT IS EXACTLY HOW I FELT ABOUT IT! Hee.

Yes, yes, you should do a picspam! That would be great. I love the slow, careful way we come to know Vash. He the best combination of total goofball and mothereffing badass. *loves*

This is similar to the way Father Abel is in "Trinity Blood", combined with the dark past, supernatural abilities and glasses. :D

So glad the headache is better. I think headaches are the worst sort of pain, because they make it impossible to read or watch TV or listen to music, all the kinds of things people usually do to get their minds off the fact that they hurt.

Thank you so much, dear!! I guess I am so much of "living in my head" type that when it is hurting it seems like the whole world is black. May be I need to go for an eye-check

Glad you're feeling better. What with you and Dangermousie's ambiguous feelings about the ending of Powerful Opponents, I will probably give it a miss.

BTW, I am still stuck with HGD because your comments about everyone calling the heroine stupid keep echoing in my head! :)

I thought the drama was most excellent, but they definitely went too clever with the ending, similar to the way it is in "Lovers in Paris". However even "Lovers in Paris" have happier alternative endings than PO.

BTW, I am still stuck with HGD because your comments about everyone calling the heroine stupid keep echoing in my head! I

I AM FEELING VERY GUILTY. (And here I confess that my love for "Kim Sam Soon" is greatly shaken my dangermousie's and yours analysis of some aspects of it. I still love it but I will not re-watch it.).

Do you watch Iljimae? It has most excellent herouines, both of them are very strong . One is a very shrewd tomboy and another is a lady with much spirit.

I will wait until more of Iljimae is subbed until I watch. I am always scared of bad endings!

I will try to persuade you to watch:

1. It isn't so bad when bad endings happen in period dramas. These were hard times and a good noble hero is half-expected to die. :D

2. With Iljimae being a noble hero of noble birth there is a very good chance he will triumph.

- Am I correct thinking that Earth is radioactive and that it is un-habitable?
That's what I made of that last scene. Poor darlings, so disappinted and sad inthe middle of that bleak landscape! :(. I guess that links pretty well with the "it has happened before and it will happen again" thingy! :) I want to know where do they go from there!

Yep, it seems like this and this opens so many new possibilities. What is going to happen for LAura, for one thing? She was to be the one to lead them to Earth?

Yeah, I think it's radioactive an uninhabitable. I'm guessing Earth is not their ultimate 'home': [livejournal.com profile] dianora2 made this post about it: http://dianora2.livejournal.com/530975.html
