KKM fans really should check out this post of drama CD tracks. I dl'ed the Ryan/KG ones just for crack's sake, and it's fantastic! If you've ever wanted to hear Namikawa Daisuke having a conversation with a family of bears, go dl track 4! XD That track also has the most adorable Wolfram and Conrad moment at the end. Wolfram sounds so sweet and scared, and tries to cover it in the cutest way. ♥

I have eps 54 and 55 of KKM to watch, but somehow I'm not that eager - I still love the series, but ever since it deviated from the novels I can't stop the nagging feeling of wondering what I'm missing. I *know* I've seen summaries of novels at various places, but I think they were mainly over at the ConYuu comm, which I, er, left cos of my growing distaste for the pairing. #^^# If anyone could help me out with links, at all, I'd be hugely grateful! Aside from, when I was in the Space Centre the other day, I actually saw a novel version of... something, so it kind of fills me with hope that maybe more manga-related novels will be translated in future - we can only hope! I really want to know what "actually" happens in the story. I hate being a manga (or, in this case, novel) snob, but in some cases - KKM being one - it really makes a difference. Not like PoT, where anime and manga canon can often quite happily sit alongside each other - personally I have no problem "believing" in Jr Senbatsu, or the training camp with Hyotei, and also the beach trip with Rokkaku - I think all those things can have happened, even though they don't appear in both versions of canon. (Of course, Midoriyama is where the problems *really* set in. In most cases of other, smaller differences, I choose the better version of what happened, lol - for example, I "believe" in the anime version of Fuji vs Kirihara, cos I much prefer it [if you ask me why, I'll be happy to tell you!]; but manga version of the D1 vs. GP match, cos the anime version is just a bit boring. And has golf in it. *dies*)

All of this leaves me with a difficulty when it comes to Saiyuki - do I believe in Homura? I've not seen his anime eps, so right now I'd probably have to say no. I have seen the special little manga chapter Minekura drew featuring him, and I know what he is, but I don't know much about how he's meant to fit into the world and story according to Minekura. @_@ I really want to see the Gaiden-bits of the anime, though, cos I adore Gaiden and may well cry at the end of it.

And, um, that's about as much as I have to say on the topic of adaptations of manga. ^^' Dunno how much sense it made, lol, but I'm always interested to hear what other people think about anime that have been adapted from manga. (I could have mentioned ParaKiss, but I'll save that for another day. :)

Sheffield people, eat at The Mashouse. It's very very delicious, but I knew that before the great Sunday dinner we had there today. :9

They also had wines on the menu called The Trickster (white) and The Villain (red). Well, it amused me...

Yay, new KKM manga! :D I absolutely love it - it follows the same story as the anime, but somehow it's just even more awesome. Manga Gwendal is even hotter. :9

Oh my lord, ep 47 of KKM! *_* Young Gwendal is the most adorable thing ever! And slightly-older Gwendal is incredibly hot. :9 Sometime I should do that 5 (or was it 10?) fictional characters you'd sleep with meme. Gwendal, although he's not my absolute favourite character in the show, would defnitely be my choice from KKM. (Those eyes! *burbles incoherently*) I alkways found that meme a bit hard, though, for a variety of reasons: mainly, I like to think of the guys with each other, not with me, lol. Hence, I can't think of anyone in PoT I'd *really* like to do, cos I'd much rather watch them with (an)other boy(s). Also, I keep getting them mixed up with real people; like, I'll go "Oo! I'll put JURI on the list!" then realise he's not actually fictional. *cough* Well, it's an easy mistake to make..! #^^#

( OK, I'll give it a go anyway... )

Aside from that, here's some randomness!

PoT writers, you've got one day left to join top_cagnotte, the PoT reverse ficathon! ^^' Go go go!

I also got stamped as Eiji over at tenipuri_rating.



I wouldn't've expected it, but hey, it's better than the alarming Gakuto's I got a couple of. ^^'

I also don't know who to be at desert_tennis. So much choice! ^_~

I think I might have a touch of lurgi. x_o Couldn't enjoy my mocha at the Egg properly! ;_; It was delicious too, and free, cos my loyalty card was fully stamped. O, the tragedy.

Still pimpin' the dinosaur_zone. >:D Oo, and I still gotta do that Taka tag. *grin*
