Star Driver: End

[rose_of_pain]

I'm so sad its over. T_T Its been quite some time since I've seen a new anime this enjoyable. I wish it was longer though. Cut for spoilers, of course.

But wai I actually loved the ending. Well except for the fact that it could have been longer...really wish we could have been given an epilogue. I kinda wonder if there's any possibility of a movie or OVA but kinda doubt it since it seemed that was kinda the end of the Cybodies and all...but still feels like there could be a little more?

Anywho!

Wako's cybody = SAILOR MOON CYBODY!

It was cute. XD

And aghadighdpagpadipe Sugata. Peacock King. I'm still wtfing over that outfit. XD I'm torn between whether I think its completely hideous or completely fabulous. XDXD I guess somewhere in between. But I knew he'd have some sort of outfit by the end. Sad Wako didn't get anything though so she's just stuck with her school uniform and casual outfits for cosplayers.

As I said to girl_dissolving a few days ago...

Me: "Every male in this show is either a douche or a loser. Except Takuto. Think I'm going to just stick with him." (referring to the fact that I was originally waiting to decide who I wanted to cosplay in case there were any other guys with super awesome outfits later on...but no...lol)
Tans: "Yeeeeaah. But I like Sugata."
Me: "...yeeeeeaaaah. About that. >> (she's a bit behind so I had to be careful of spoilers) I did like him."
Tans: Oh FUCK everything. x_x

...lol And my main issue with Sugata was just that I didn't understand him. I felt he was missing depth that the others had. Like it was sorta there but then he just got weird at the end and I couldn't figure out what he was thinking/doing. And then the final episode was like "...JUST KIDDING." and I'm all "...oh. That's what he was doing. AHHHH I get it now!" XD

So I like him again in the end. lmao Which is good as it'd be a shame if he ruined the OT3 as I do like them. XD And note that I don't have many OT3s as usually there's one I feel is the 3rd wheel and most of my OT3s are yaoi and/or non-canon. But I really like this one! They're just so cute and I'm kinda glad Wako didn't make a choice at the end as I thought she would and I kinda didn't want her to chose between them. ^^;; I know Keiko could have been with Sugata if Wako chose Takuto but it wouldn't feel right...

But pffft...

Vice President = FUCKING GOD.

Or at least that's my theory. XD They totally threw a mini Rayearth on us there. Well I mean, he might not be quite THAT high up but definitely some guardian/power thing after that last scene of him and Sarina. But it made me happy because FUCK YEAH! RESPECT THE FOX!

Also I think the play episode was by far my favorite. Reminded me so much of the little symbolic play bit in Utena. Hell the whole anime reminded me of Utena.

Tokio = Akio
Vice President = Chu Chu
Takuto = Utena
Maidens = Rose Bride
Takashi = Miki
Kanako = A sorta mix of Nanami and Juri (odd mix but she just reminded me a little of both XD)
Sugata = Touga...sorta XD;
Benio's boys = Saionji lol
Etc~

But yeah they even pull swords out of themselves. XD And each episode had a duel with a song and transformation scene. So no wonder I love this show so much. XD

Not to say I think its a copycat of Utena. Oh no no no! Totally different and even those similarities I listed I still think are quite different. Just reminded me a lot of it. More so the feel to it than the actual plot/characters. But probably in part because one of the directors also worked on Utena some. XD

But yes, if you haven't seen on my FB album, I am so planning to cosplay Takuto's Ginga Bishonen outfit at some point...not sure when though as it's a bit of work. But I wanna do it. T_T I want to dazzle the stage with my radiance! And definitely making Vice President as my next big plushie project.
