Sumomo makes me laugh! XD (who is her seiyu? her Seiyu in Chobits was Syaorans CCS voice actress! is it still her?)
anyway.... lol


That makes me laugh because Kotoko was voiced, in Chobits, by Meilin's CCS voice actress.

I said this on my LJ, but I'll say it again. Seeing Fai attempt to pass himself off as heterosexual is painful.

I'm going to watch it try not to think of the RG Veda Ashura/Yasha >.>, they should not gotten together and I choose to interpret the end of RGV that they didnt.
You don't like Yasha/Ashura? XD Because of the age difference? Or you just don't think they make a good couple? I must admit, I was far more comfortable with Yasha/Ashura in Shurano than in RG Veda, because of the whole age difference thing. In RG Veda Yasha/Ashura was sometimes too much like pedophilia for my taste. >< I still wanted them to get together, just when Ashura was a bit older.

I never read RG Veda, so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this, but I think Ashura and Yasha make a very cute couple. In Shurano, anyway.

Well, in terms of Ashura (son) in RG Veda, he was only a little kid because he had been sealed away. If you remember, he had a twin brother who was already grown. Every time Ashura used a lot of power he would age more, if I remember correctly. So he was physically a little kid (who continued to grow in random bursts) but he was "old" already. So when Ashura finally became "adult" in appearance was when he matched his actual age (I don't remember, but I want to say something like he had been sealed away 300 years? I might just be making that up though, so don't count on it).

What about Yasha then? How old is he?

Hm. I am not really sure. Yasha is about the same age as Kendappa.  Ashura's twin brother is all in love with and wants to marry Kendappa, so I assume that the age difference between Kendappa, Yasha, Ashura and his brother are not very big at all.

So after Ashura loses his child appearance, I don't see an issue between Yasha and Ashura being together.

Now the problem lies here, I think. If Ashura is genderless (in RG Veda, even though he's referred to as 'he' for translation purposes), do you think they would make him into a girl in the anime O_O

@___@ Ahh, I vaguely remember Syaoran referring in the manga to Ashura as a 'she', which scared me... But he's constantly referred to as the 'God of War', not the 'Goddess...'. Would the anime really change that drastically just to avoid teh gay?

I never saw it as "she' in the manga, I made a point to look out for that T_T maybe I missed something. But yeah, I agree. The most I see them doing is giving them a really feminine sounding voice, but there's a tendency to do that in anime anyway... ^^;

Ah... if I'm bored enough, I'll try and stalk the precise page down. Maybe it was just in my imagination xD

I'm just happy they didn't give Fai a squeaky squeaky voice. Mokona's voice I can deal with, but Fai+Mokona's voice=*ded*

o_o Fai... with Mokona's voice...? *sobs infinitely* What is this travesty.

I am having way too good a time imagining this. "Fai is Fai! blah blah blah 108 Secret Techniques! Blah blah blah Fai worked hard too!" :D

Same here. XD Well, in the same way that Mokona could imitate Kuro's voice (which was delightful XD), maybe Fai's magic allows him to speak in Mokona-voice? Gee, Kuro must not like it very much. XD *mental image of Kuro being stalked by Fai and Mokona both teasing him in Mokona's Voice* XD

Haha, I loved it when Mokona did Kurogane's voice in the anime. "Kurogane ureshii!" is practically the whole reason why I don't want to murder the anime XD But this episode made me go back to wanting to slap the brains out of BeeTrain 6_6

Saaaame. The manga is just infinitely better xDD The anime is way too Sakura-focussed for me. @__<

Not only that, but the animation quality is a bit, well, bad. *snort* This episode had nice animation, but I hated the story. Other episodes have nice stories but really bad animation. AND I WANT THEM TO GET DRUNK. It is so weird but that is one of my pet peeves. No drunk Syaoran trying to fight with a ladle and no drunk Sakura and Fai meowing... *sobs* The soundtrack is very pretty though. I just wonder how bad they are going to mess up this next arc. I heard it was only 4 episodes long... o_o Huh.

I know, I stopped watching the anime for so long, I just recently started to watch it again... xD; Then I got into the manga again, and I'm still surprised at how infinitely better it is. The anime is only worthwhile because of sounds made from Fai (Hyuu!), and Mokona and the battle music. *__* Yeaah, did they really leave out the drunk parts? T__T I loved those parts- I wondered whether I might've missed it >__<

Nyaa, I've heard so many things about Chii's voice being grating and annoying and I'm scared to watch it now. XD

I wonder whether they'll show Fai's surprise if he finds out that it's Kid!Ashura he's supposed to be facing, not his!Ashura. XD;;; They left that out in the manga and it made me saaad.

Yup, they cut out all the drunken parts, I guess it has something to do with the intended audience and broadcasting channel. I really don't know. All traces of alcohol are cut out pretty much, except when they go into Clover because well, it's a bar. Fai's seiyuu is definitely another reason I like watching the anime, he does a good job. I don't have a problem with any of the seiyuu, actually, it's just the crappy story alterations they make T_T The manga is infinitely superior, it actually makes me care a lot for the characters, while when I had only watched the anime I was like "Eh, it's nice but..."

The annoyingness of Chii's voice only added to the whole annoyingness of the episode, sadly.

Hm, I wonder if they'll show Fai's reaction to the name Ashura, because I know Kuropon comments on it but they never actually show it, I think.

no they never showed us fai's face when the priest mentioned "ashura" but im sure it will be similar to that horific tiny pupiled look we saw when kuro menioned the name.

You don't like Yasha/Ashura? XD Because of the age difference? Or you just don't think they make a good couple? I must admit, I was far more comfortable with Yasha/Ashura in Shurano than in RG Veda, because of the whole age difference thing. In RG Veda Yasha/Ashura was sometimes too much like pedophilia for my taste. >< I still wanted them to get together, just when Ashura was a bit older.
It wasnt the age difference so much, ok there was a difference and there's a whole other wrongness I have yet to explore there. But for the entire manga they acted like father and son, people refered to them as father and son. Putting them together romanticaly seemed liek a relationship for the sake of a relationship because their love was platonic. They're too close to family. Just because they're not blood related doesnt make them any less of a father and son and there was never a hint of anything but that unitl the final pages.
That's why I oppose to Ashura/Yasha.

In the back of book 9, is says 'We purposely don't refer to Ashura as a man or woman, no charaters calls ashura she or he as in the Japanese no honorifics are used to define his/her sex'

so... I don't think they are avoiding the 'gay relationship'... at least... not on purpose..

And I agree with what you said about the drunken antics being cut out. Maybe its because they think Syaoran and Sakura are too young so its wrong to show it. The drinking age in Japan is 21 right?

Its only 18 here XDD LOL.
Can't say I've ever run around with a ladel.

there was that time with the broom though... XDD
