Code Geass R2 – SS02

Code Geass R2 – Sound Story Episode 02

Why can’t the anime be as great as the sound stories? It’s sort of frustrating. The other thing that’s frustrating is how the Suzaku I LOVE is intact in the sound stories yet in the anime he’s competely … ugh. What are you doing Sunrise?! If they animated a full 26 episode season of Code Geass sound stories I’d watch it and buy the damn DVDs to show my full support.

No I did not misspell the title. It’s perfectly written on the CD “Balett Star” and not “Ballet Star”. I’ve got no idea why it’s not Ballet but it doesn’t really matter either.

BLCD: Shounen Yonkei

Pairings:

Midorikawa Hikaru x Miki Shinnichirou
Narita Ken x Kishio Daisuke
Morikawa Toshiyuki x Sakurai Takahiro
Horiuchi Kenyuu x Kamiya Hiroshi

Review:

After a good two months, I finally got around to listening to Shounen Yonkei. I was attracted to this drama for merely the pairings and because I heard quite a bit about it. I wasn’t sure what it was about though so I got really curious. After downloading it though, it wasted away in storage until I remembered it some few days ago. I listened to it and felt like bawling right after.

Shounen Yonkei is a two CD drama and in each CD there are two stories. Each story is a separate all of different but treating the same theme. I really loved the whole feel this drama gave off and I agree with the seiyuus when they said that it didn’t really feel like BL, so to speak. Sure, it WAS BL and there was smex. But there’s something about this drama that makes it feel so real that you don’t even think its BL anymore. The running theme was something like “separation” but not really “separation” in itself. Well, the first story with MikiShin and Midorin was fairly happy though. I don’t remember the stories perfectly since I was sort of multi-tasking when I was listening to this but they were all pretty sad.

The first story with Midorin and MikiShin was a story where Midorin’s character was MikiShin’s character’s dog. The second was with a two childhood friends running away after one them killed someone (?) The third was happening during a war and Sakurai’s character was a foreigner who loved Japan and MoriMori and military man who hated it. Finally, the fourth is a story where Kamiya’s character goes on some sort of road trip with Horiuchi’s character until the gas runs out.

The third and fourth were the ones I remembered to be most touching. I haven’t heard Sakupyon in a while so that might be at fault but it was a really sad story. Oh, did I mention how all of these stories have extremely open endings? The fourth was real sad though I’m not sure of its context. Kamiya’s crying had me going really but I guess it doesn’t beat NojiKen’s performance in Nejireta Edge.

As for the H-Scenes, having treated four pairings there’s good number of them but they are definitely not the main attraction. This is a definitely a drama to listen to if you’re expecting some tears and story. I really recommend it because it’s an absolute beauty. I haven’t heard anything like it.

Its beauty is different from Kotohana no Hana’s beauty but beauty is beauty just the same. (Four beauties in a phrase? Oh my)

((You know what I need?! I need a rating system … -grumbles off to think of one-))

Suzu Love <3

-squeeesss-

Mah. Gawd.

I’m having Scythe and SuzuKen overload lately. Actually, super DAI DAI DAAAAAIIIII Suzu overload its probably what’s affecting Scythe’s personality. Ryutaros is so adorable. I think I’m going to collapse. Gun Form is so AWESOME!!!! Next is Ura-chan because of Yusa ❤

Yeah. I did this poll thingy tho’ that basically ranks male seiyuus according to your preferences. I got 10 number ones so I basically concluded they were my top ten.

1 櫻井孝宏 (Sakurai Takahiro)
2 下野紘 (Shimono Hiro)
3 鈴村健一 (Suzumura Kenichi)
4 諏訪部順一 (Suwabe Junichi)
5 中村悠一 (Nakamura Yuuichi)
6 成田剣 (Narita Ken)
7 野島健児 (Nojima Kenji)
8 福山潤 (Fukuyama Jun)
9 保志総一朗 (Hoshi Souichirou)
10 遊佐浩二 (Yusa Kouji)

It’s ALMOST perfectly accurate. Yusa and FukuJun should arrive after Yuutan tho’. Suwabe would go before NariKen and Kamiyan after Suzu. I’m also kinda sad Mamo didn’t get in. Ishida was pretty close too tho’ and Miyu Irino too.

Basically …

1 Sakupyon, 2 Shimono, 3 Suzu, 4 Kamiyan, 5 Yuutan, 6 FukuJun, 7 Yusa, 8 Suwabe, 9 NariKen and 10 NojiKen
The poll is pretty long tho’ T_T but it was fun so yeah.

Here’s a Chara Sheet (sketched) of Scythe. I was bored and drew in in history. Really, Suzu overload’s made it so that every time I write its Suzu’s voice I hear on Scythe. T_T Srry, NojiKen. Tho’ now it makes it more fun ‘cuz Kira’s voiced by Sakurai still in my mind. Four chapters of DC are already written while I’m at it. XD

Here’s Kira while I’m at it. I kinda made him a little too skinny but … wtv. Kira is love. Suzu and Sakupyon is love. BL is love. BANZAI!

(Just finished Shounen Yonkei. I’ll rant about it tomorrow. But I’ll say this … it was the prettiest thing I’ve heard in a while. How the FUCK did MikiShin and Midorin not get on my top ten again?! CRAP)

Junjo Romantica 07

And we’re back to Romantica after two glorious weeks of Egoist! It’s been a while Misaki, Usagi ❤ Can’t say I had time to miss you since Egoist was so damn awesome, though. I’m watching the episode as I write so I’m still hoping this episode will be as good as the past two. I highly doubt it but we’ll see. If I’m not mistaken, this episode marks the beginning of volume three for the manga. Man we’re going through things quickly. Anyways, onto the episode!

MAOH, futatabi

Even if there’s a current lack of subbed new KKM, I decided to start watching it anyway.

I remember, in my old blog, writing “If season doesn’t give me more Wolfy I’mma shoot someone” Man do I love it when my wishes come true. I mean really, not even three minutes in the show (30 seconds if you disregard the OP, which is kinda nice) Wolfram is decided to be Maoh after Yuuri. WHOA?!

But really … I wonder what is it about KKM that’s struck me so much. I keep on comparing ever other BL or Slashable anime I’m watching to it. Maybe because in all its episodes KKM’s covered every possible BL stereotype I can think of.

–

Okay. One thing I’m pissed about right now is how I don’t understand ANYTHING. In the midst of the all the fun and games, something big’s going on.

What did Wolfy leave for? Why the hell is Wolfy even decided to be next maoh already anyway? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?

I demand answers. NAO!

But before that .. maybe I should watch the two last OVAs of KKM before continuing.

Another thing to be pissed about, Wolfy being kinda cold to Yuuri. T_T WHY?! WHY?! NAZE DA?!?!

I haven’t had this much question marks pop into my head since Touka Gettan. I hate not knowing anything.

OMG. Look, I already couldn’t handle Suzaku becoming an asshole so please don’t become an asshole too Wolfy. And I DO hope he meant Yuuri when he said there’s only one true maoh.

Maaaan, whenever Wolfy acts all serious … he actually makes me remember he’s over 80 years old.

(Is it normal for me to still be lingering on what Yuuri’s mom bought for Wolfy? I REALLY WANT TO KNOW …)

EDIT: Just finished watched KKM! 79, 80 and 81. Man was I happy to see much Wolfy. Plus it seems I’ll get some more since episode 82 is called “Greta to Yuuram” … YUURAM?! I MEANS SRSLY?! WOOOOW! I don’t care anymore. Their canon and I won’t have anyone say otherwise.

BTW, Yuuri’s mom gave Wolfy another pink nightgown. I wonder why KKM didn’t get into my TOP BL RELATED THINGS … anyways, it’s definitely went up a bit (maybe 12 or 11 now)

Yeah, I now I’m updating this post in the middle of nowhere but I just HAD to rant. I’ve now remembered what made me devour all 78 episodes of KKM in a week now.

The three lesbians has become a foursome?! No really. What the fuck are they doing adding another maid? WTV. Now they all squee whenever Yuuri and Wolfram’s relationship progresses a bit.

–

I still hate Greta. But Papa-mode Yuuri is very amusing.

Yeah. I missed you too Gunter.
