Yesterday was a spiffy day. Finally found the manga I was looking for. DNAngel vol. 1 and X vol. 9. ^_^ Now just gotta wait for Tokyo Babylon to come out next month and for the next volume of the Eva manga.

I had a lot of free time to waste while I was in Barnes & Noble so what did I do? I grabbed the one last copy of translated AS vol. 1 they had and sat down and read the entire thing right there in the store. lol Yeah, I usually don't like when people do that but that store is set up so people can do that with all these nice comfy chairs and plus, I only wanted to check to see how they translated it.

I must say, Viz seemed to do an "ok" job. They fixed the typo on the cover, thank god. But I'm still angry at the big mess up near the begining of changing "I want to fuck something"/"I want to have sex" to "I want you...to do me." It cracks me up, but still...its really out of place and would seriously confuse the hell out of someone who knows nothing about AS prior to picking the volume up. x_x; And there were some other lines that I think they could have phrased differently since parts seemed confusing because of the way they phrased things.

But I suppose its alright. I still prefer my original japanese ones of course.

Though it also gave me a chance to read all of Kaori Yuki's little side notes as a lot of translators didn't translate those. And I found it extremly amusing how she kept comparing AS to CC in almost all of them. (Ah, so many people will read those side notes and be all "what the hell is she talking about?" lol but not us CC fans!) I especially found one line amusing. "Setsuna is a very easy and simple character. Not complex like Cain." LOL And its so true. Cain really is a complex character. Its so hard to explain him in just a few words.

And Psycho le Cemu is coming to PMX. *cries a river* ^^; Man, thats one band I would really love to see. *ponder* Hey, at least they are coming to the US so maybe there IS a chance of me seeing them. *_* Yes, good way of turning this into something positive. lol

Ok, I HAVE to go to Animazement now!!!

Why?!

Because Yuu Watase is going to be there!!! And Chika Sakamoto too of course! ^_^

Definently bringing my artbook for more signatures.

Maw, gotta get a definite yes or no from my parents soon. >_> As they do kinda have the final say in whether I can go or not since I do have to borrow money from them at this point. ^^;;

But I have to find a way to get them to let me go because...Watase-san!

Oooh, I hope she has a panel. I feel the old Fushigi Yƻgi fan within me coming out again. o_o; Though I think I like Ayashi no Ceres more these days than FY.

Sadly, Maboroshi isn't going to AZ anymore. x_x But I hope Fansview still goes at least. *pokes him* But photographers or no photographers, I still want to go!
