glass_icarus | things i have mainlined in the last week:

[For those of you who don't feel like reading about anime flail WITH ALLCAPS, have fun with this Inception fic! Because The Adventures of Yusuf, Best Superhero Ever is MADE OF FABULOUS. ;)]

1. Tiger and Bunny: up to episode 9? I am surprised at myself! Superhero shenanigans are usually not my thing, much less a series about superhero reality TV, but whoever it was on tumblr who coined "Team Dad and Butthurt" got EXACTLY what hooked me in the end, ahahaha!

2. Spice and Wolf: all of it! Not quite sure why I bulled ahead with this one, either, though it was admittedly pretty despite the... quietness. And the quietness is maybe a little odd, come to think of it, considering the entire thing is- a traveling merchant and wolf goddess on what amounts to an endless road trip? I would have expected more mishaps from a WOLF GODDESS WHO ENJOYS GETTING DRUNK AND (LOTS OF) GOOD FOOD, I'm just saying. Also, I have a feeling people who are into economics/marketing might enjoy this more than me, considering the amount of ~supply and demand~ and ~trading tactics~. xD

3. Shounen Onmyouji: almost all of it! Pretty much everybody on this show is MY FAVORITE, which is a marker of the shows I like best, really. ;) Abe no Masahiro is the cutest onmyouji-in-training ever, and Abe no Seimei is THE MOST LOLARIOUS DOTING GRANDPA IN EXISTENCE (not to mention totally the Uncle Iroh of the show), and I am just going to stop before I hit spoiler territory, as;dlfjka;s. &hearts I would have finished the last two eps if I didn't want to be CRYING (MOAR) FOREVER OMG; thankfully

sarashina was awesome and saved me with a summary of what is SADLY NOT PICTURED ON THE SHOW. :3 Not-too-spoilery icons to come, once my eyes have stopped crossing from the awesomeness of

4. Samurai 7, which I just finished! Too flaily to talk coherently about this, but- based on Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, futuristic flying mecha, and full of POLITICKING AND REVOLUTIONS?? FUCK YES. :D Another show where pretty much everybody is my favorite, though I admit I have huge soft spots for Kyuzo and Heihachi and also Shichiroji!

Tiger & Bunny, yay! I just finished episode 10 and am going around being *____* at people, basically, because it's a ridiculous show and I love it.

Thanks for the fic link!

Heeeeee, I literally JUST hunted that ep down! 10 IS PRETTY GREAT OMG. :3

You're welcome!

I totes did not expect to like Tiger & Bunny which is why I skipped it when I was deciding what to watch this season. But then people on Tumblr and Twitter were talking about it and I was like, "...well, maybe I need a breather from all the dismemberment and stock market pokemon battles and demons!" XD

Ahahahah! Yeah, I was going to skip it too, but then I got bored-and-vaguely-curious and then Kotetsu grew on me like FLUFFY TEDDY BEAR FUNGUS. Or something.

I love Kotetsu! Of course he's voiced by Hirata Hiroaki, which does not hurt. :P

Also also, Team Dad & Butthurt is quite possibly the best description ever.
