book induced glee!
Aug. 30th, 2007 08:25 pmI just didn't believe my eyes! I was spending a few minutes in a bookstore because I had to kill time between changing trains when my eyes fell upon this "Die zwölf Königreiche". I thought that's just the same title as Juuni Kokki. And then I noticed the picture on the cover and startled hey wait, that IS Yoko! At last it hit me, I was holding the German translation of the novel Juuni Kokki (Twelve Kingdoms) in my hands!!!! :major glee: Juuni Kokki is only one of my absolutely most favourite best-loved anime ever! And I'm not talking about a manga edition, no the real novel the anime is based on :hysterics: I haven't even gotten the plastic wrap off. Right now, I'm just worshipping the book.
If you don't know why I'm in this state go watch the anime! It's all kinds of awesome! You want chara development? You want well researched cultural background? You want a gripping story? Again, go watch the anime!
Still can't believe someone translated the novel! If only they'd also produce the rest of the anime I'd go insane!

Naruto Shippuuden induced insanity
Aug. 24th, 2007 10:45 pmEEEK! I just watched the latest Naruto Shippuuden! This is ridiculous! I've read the manga, I know what's going to happen! But still... there's so much suspense, it has me on my toes! I had to rewatch it immediately. And the soundtrack is thrilling, fits perfectly! I NEED to get that soundtrack! Aaargh when will it be released????
Naruto Shippuuden
Aug. 20th, 2007 10:07 pmI just love Naruto Shippuuden. It's a relief after the endless fillers! Now I eagerly await my weekly fix :grin:
The opening scenes of the first ep gave me goose flesh. I don't know how many times I've watched them now!
And I just can't wait for the soundtrack to finally come out. I'm checking up nipponsei regularly now.
I like how they give you more background where in the manga it's only hinted at. I wonder how involved Kishimoto is in the production of the series. (That reminds me, gotta check up on the latest manga chapters.)
Now that the series is moving along again, you can feel the tension of the first series when they still kept to the manga. Sure single fights go on for episodes, but that doesn't bother me.
One character I've come to appreciate is Sakura. Before I found her rather annoying. But now she's really determined and kick-ass! And looking more grown up really suits her.
