Of anime and Michael Trucco

[katikat]

frayen just made me remember the good old days when I used to be an anime geek. I adored the anime GetBackers - I really need to get the whole series in manga format because it rocks so much - and the Ban/Ginji pairing! I mean, the anime wasn't listed as yaoi/boys-love but take a look at the official art!

Would you say that these boys are straight? O.o

Also, the current anime Monochrome Factor - if that's not BL, I will eat my hat! XP

TV Guide posted a very interesting article about Michael Trucco - Anders on Battlestar Galactica. He had a terrible accident in December last year. He broke his neck but not only did he survive but with no consequences too. The doctors said that he was a "freak of nature", Katee Sackhoff called him a "strong son of a bitch" XD

Mmmmm I hear nice things about the canon-ness of Kazuki/Juubei in the last arcs of the manga. It's taking all my will power not to skip ahead and go straight to it.

I adore those two, too. Them and... what was the name of the friend they left behind? The one who adored Kazuki too? *scratches head* They would make an awesome threesome!

LOL. Getbackers was one of my favorite manga/anime when it was the rave in Japan. That along with Samurai Deeper Kyo was my insane crack.

B/G pairing is only one of the few amazing pairings in that manga. Fanservice love is pretty much overwhelming in Japan because the guys don't care about it. They barely raise an eye at two boys clinging together (it's sorta not uncommon with guys and girls always draped around each other if they're close friends)

I haven't been able to fall in love with another super long series, and I'm hoping I can find something that will last.

For me, it was GB and Prince of Tennis for a time XD I was a huge Oishi fan! *waves flag*

I need to start buying that manga. But I have so many long series started - Fruits Basket, Ouran High School Host Club, Yami no Matsuei, Gestalt, Petshop of Horrors, Loveless and now Black Lagoon XP

My most favorite anime ever was probably The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, my current set of mood icons. That simply rocked and I adored Kyon and his sarcastic comments!

OMFG. I can't believe I totally TOTALLY forgot to mention POT. (I can feel someone glaring at me on my flist LOL). POT was insanely slashable and I mean, it was just so, sooo, soooo good.

I remember IM'ing my bro when we each read a new chapter. He's also addicted to PoT (of course not in the fandom, just you know, keeping up with manga), and we'd have long standing arguments over which outrageous move the people will pull to win the match. Those were fun times :D

I'm still standing on Junjou Romantica. Not sure if I want to watch it simply because it's one of my all time favorite manga/novel/drama. I don't want the anime to disappoint me. *cowers in fear*

SERIOUSLY~! I think seeing those pictures made me want to watch GetBackers... and was disappointed at the lack'ish of shounen-ai (aside from... Kazuki and Juubei?) Yes.

I heard awesome things about Kazuki and Juubei and their relationship in the manga. It makes me literally itch to buy it :D

*grin* What ever could you be implying, petal? *innocent look*

Oh, I don't know... *looking all innocent* ;)
