Hello there, new friends! I am very happy to welcome you to my flist! <3
I realized it's been a while since I talked about fandom-y stuff, so I guess I'll talk about the last few episodes of Mirai Nikki before I settle down to watch Ep. 13.
I think I am starting to dislike Murmur. There's this smugness to her that gets on my nerves.
Ninth, on the other hand, I adore. I love her intelligence, craftiness, and total badassery. I think what I love most about her is her fierce but reasonable independence, the way she doesn't blindly adhere to alliances in lieu of doing what is best for herself, but also uses her freedom to help others from time to time. I love how she's bitchy and snarky, but also quite vulnerable. I love how funny she is. And, above all else, I love watching her because of just how unpredictable she is. She's always a riot.
I am very satisfied with Fourth's arc. I knew that something was up, and was it ever up. I didn't, however, predict just how ruthless he would be. I think what was most interesting to me was how, at the end of the arc, I couldn't hate the guy. I could see where he was coming from. He wasn't an evil guy: he wanted to save his son so much that he was ready and willing to use any means necessary, and it brought out the worst in him. That's one of the things I love about Mirai Nikki: no matter what crazy, horrible shenanigans these characters get into, they all feel very human at the end of the day.
I'm still waiting with bated breath for Yuno's backstory. I find her behavior fascinating, and I want to know what makes her tick so badly. I want to understand how and why she's developed this ability to change her memories, and just what made her so desperate that she ended up clinging to Yuki. Also, I have just one thing to say about the contents of Yuno's bag at the end of Ep. 12: WHY.
Guh, I'm so proud of my Yuki. He's finally decided to stop being so passive and starting really standing up for himself! Even if the reasoning behind it is questionable. His relationship with Yuno makes me uneasy, for obvious reasons. One minute, I think I want to ship them, and the next I'm like, "YUKI STOP THIS IS NOT GOING TO END UP WELL FOR YOU AT ALL UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHH."
And with that, I am off to watch the new episode. Maybe I'll liveblog it or whatever? That could be fun.
ETA: Whoops, I guess there's no new episode this week. :'(
