Posting all over the interwebs and I'm going to be damned to hell one day.
or something like that.
It's funny how the whole tie-tying scene had Yukio in the car in the anime but in the manga, he was kicked out and it was Mephisto and Rin only. . .
Uh yeah. That was -very- important. . . >_> +10 points on Mephi's creeperness.
So I marathoned 3 books of AoEx and I have to say the anime was actually easier to understand rather than the manga. O_o; Somehow all the tragic scenes seemed more emotional in the anime. Hm, maybe it's just FujiKeiji's awesome voice for Shirou that kicked it up a knotch. ahaha
But I have a feeling this series won't last that long (anime wise) since they already planned to make it into an anime at book 4. X__X;; There's only 6 books out now. . . this is definitely going to be a one-time hit anime that will get a season 2 depending on popularity. It seems like anime does that a lot now. . . >_>;;
Clearly, animators are doing this to get a jump start series to bring in the money for the next season. If they have a break in between fans start to automatically miss it and when they bring it back it'd be another explosion along with newer fans that pick up the series thinking it's new. . . then after they find out, they'll GO BACK and pick up the previous season and that brings in more money.
. . . is what I think.
At least it's a good tactic. Too many filler eps really ruin the series so, they probably figured they'll just give the series a break and not clash with the original manga. Like in Gintama, they did mention how filler eps is like a gamble where they make their own plot and they can't remerge it with the original manga anymore so, they are forced to quit the series or they end up losing all their production money since it's THAT BAD and are forced to quit or something along the lines of "FILLER EPS DON'T REALLY WORK".
. . . except Gintama. Filler eps talk about how filler eps don't work. A+
Aside from all the AoEx stuff, I got Reborn novel #5 and I have no idea what the hell I'm reading. X__X;; I haven't even finished reading the Millefiore arc so, I have no idea what happens after. I really don't know who Simon is. . . nor do I know who his family members are. I felt stupid buying the book but, I still like the novels. . . >_>;; Then again I got the NuraMago novels too without knowing much about Hagoromogitsune. . . XD
D: I wonder if novels will ever get published in English. . . I mean, I HIGHLY doubt it but, eh. . . Reborn seems to still have a religious following. >_>;;
