30 Day Character Meme (Anime): #19

Rei Fukai, Yukikaze

Rei was quite a mysterious character, wasn't he? A pilot with whom his own plane was obsessed. Did he die in the other universe, fighting aliens, or didn't he? Considering the ending, what the reporter saw in her rearview mirror when she visited Jack, Rei's best friend... Was Rei a ghost? Did Jack know Rei was there? Was that the reason why he quit army and started living like a hermit? Or was what she saw just a trick of light? Great character in a great anime! I actually want to buy the novel that goes with it!

XM:DOFP Cast So Far

This is a list of all the X-Men: Days of Future Past characters so far. Besides the recurring characters from the previous movies, new actors were added: Booboo Stewart, Omar Sy, Bingbing Fan and Peter Dinklage.

Unfortunately, according to this - link - Caleb Landry Jones AKA Shawn/Banshee won't be back. The same goes for the characters of Emma Frost, Azazel, Riptide and Angel. Also, no confirmation for Havok and Moira. Basically, it looks like only James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult will be back from the XMFC cast. Interesting. I liked these four best anyway but I wonder why they dropped Havok and Banshee. Maybe because they look too young to be in their 30s in XMDOFP...

The Persuaders AKA Die Zwei Ep 1

Overture AKA Schwesterchens Muttermal

Gosh, this ep is even slashier than I remembered it! I mean, first the care chase to Nice, them grinning at each other while racing down the serpentines. Then the fight in the bar! I mean, they come in with a gorgeous girl each - and what do they do? They start bickering, completely forgetting about said girls! And then they start a huge fight, demolishing the whole restaurant. And they don't stop bickering even after they are arrested! LOL! Gosh, I love it so much. I mean, they chase girls, sometimes even the same girl both - yet they are more interested in each other than in the girl! And they enjoy themselves so much!

Favorite scenes? The second time they thrash the bar! When they are searching the girl's room and Brett jokes about her negligee and Danny promises to buy him one for his B-day - and Brett reminds him he would like it in blue! Or when Danny's trying to get the key from the girl's purse and can't! Awesome, awesome stuff!

I plan to watch one ep each evening because I want to savor it. Also, the picture quality of the digitally remastered version is so crystal clear! Wow!
