I watched five more episodes of Firefly! =D Truly I don't understand why I didn't like it before, my reaction's totally flipped. I like pretty much all the characters though I have my reservations with Mal. I know he's a decent person (the climax of nearly every episode seems to come around to that point really) but oh my gosh stop insulting Inara already. Seriously you can't say you respect her just not her career. Her career's a part of who she is! Calling her a whore every two seconds is NOT OKAY. >l

Other things!

+ I wish River and Simon were Chinese so much it hurts. Every time someone says something in Chinese there is the little voice in my head that cries about how there's a million signs of Chinese culture without any Chinese people. Their last names are Tam! It would have been so easy to cast them differently! And plus it would have made Simon seem a little less like the rich privileged white dude character Whedon is so very fond of writing (hay thar Wesley, how you doing?)

+ Sheppard Booook. Ugh I freaked out in that episode where he got shot because fandom never talks about Book so I was genuinely afraid they'd use his wound as an excuse to ship him off with the Alliance never to be heard from again. I LOVE BOOK. HE SHOULD STAY. HE IS A GOOD PERSON AND ALSO HAS AN EXCELLENT SENSE OF HUMOR.

+ Lolololol Jayne. Someday I will come to the middle of taking him seriously too! Right now I am very very far away. :D Also Jayne/Vera OTP 4 LYFE.

+ Inaraaaaaa. Oh my gosh can we be best friends and shop together and hang out forever? You are so pretty and nice and I think I might be putting you on my list of role model human beings. I would fight to defend your honour forever except for if you say you don't want me to in which case I will back the hell down MAL.

+ I just want to re-establish, every time Mal insults Inara I yell at the screen for him to shut the hell up. So if you could stop that Joss Whedon it would do wonders for my voice! Please and thank you!

+ Saffron comes back right? Because I vaguely recall seeing at least a couple fic with her and fandom doesn't generally attach that strongly to a oneshot character. Don't tell me if she doesn't, I'd rather hold on to hope.

+ Kaylee is ADORABLE and I want to sit down and have her school me on mechanics for days. Maybe you can make me less technologically incompetent Kaylee! I will totally buy you every frilly dress you want if you do!

+ Seriously though, I find it kind of hilarious how nearly every episode's end twist is that 'hey guys Mal isn't actually a bad guy!' Whedon, I get it already. Jerk With A Heart Of Gold! I use TV Tropes too you know.

On an unrelated note, I can't stop watching this video.



Ugh, someone stop me, I am two seconds away from downloading the series for a rewatch. I know it isn't as amazing as this video makes it seem! But it makes it look really really amazing. ;_; I was not aware I had this many unresolved Uraboku feelings.
themadpoker: (feeling anime)
So I was thinking of writing up a proper review for Uraboku now that I've finished except for...I don't want to? Most of it is boring! So instead I will just tell you a little about it and spice up the boring with copious use of exclamation marks!

The downside of this show is that now I can't watch Code Geass because the art isn't pretty enough for me )

So yeah! That’s Uraboku! I do not at all recommend it although if by some chance you did get sucked into watching the show and know of fic then direct me to the Hotsuma/Shusei because I have managed to find two which did not make me want to weep for the state of humanity. T_T Oh the perils of being in a small anime fandom. Oh the extra perils of actually shipping the DRAMATIC ANGSTY slash where the fic takes its cue from the show. Oh the perils squared of skipping over the PWPs which makes up 50% of all fic published. That is what I get for watching a show solely for an OTP.
