Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitte Iru Episode 7


Photobucket

Home is where your heart and crazy friends are.

Mondays. Most people loathe this day. It means back to school time or it symbolizes the start of the work week. But I love Mondays XD. Every other Monday my husband has off of work and I never have to work Mondays. …But I hate Wednesdays.

But I love Mondays. Sleep in late, do a few chores, and do random things. Today I read a lot of mangas (caught up completely on Skip Beat!!!!) and watched a great episode of Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru. While most people might think I wasted the day away I had a great time and that’s all that matters.

Onward to Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru episode 7. Beware of spoilers, jealous Luka, and sparkles.



Photobucket

One big happy family...

Episode Summary: Yuki is being driven to the Twilight Mansion (I am still a bit :( about the name). He is in awe that such a place could exist in Tokyo but then he is explained that there is a magical barrier around the place and ordinary humans cannot see it. Yuki walks around a bit and has a nostalgic sense about the place. He is introduced to some random person girl named Aya who looks unimportant so moving right along. Touko pops out of nowhere and wants to hug her beloved Yuki. But Yuki has a bit of an emo attack and doesn’t want her to touch him because his powers might activate. Because you know how Touko hasn’t touched Yuki before….But the moment moves from emo to happy to Luka being all jealous when it was hug time from Touko. And then Tsukumo. But Luka is skilled enough to save Yuki from being hugged by a freak named Tachibana. He seems to be in charge of running the house but mistakenly addresses Yuki as a woman several times. Luka and Touko are not impressed by Tachibana’s shenanigans. The topic changes to why Luka hasn’t gotten his wounds healed yet. Yuki offers to do so again but Luka decides to go see the doctor instead.

Photobucket

WOOT! Finally someone is in love with Luka! XD

While searching the lab/clinic Yuki accidentally finds the doctor who looks like a caveman. His name is Isuzu and he is attracted to Luka who is THRILLED by the matter. Luka tries to stomp out again but agrees to get treatment when the alternative is Yuki healing him. Yuki is a bit sad about that but Touko tries to cheer him by saying Luka just doesn’t want to see him suffer. Touko and Tachibana offer to show Yuki to his room but he automatically walks to his old room. This makes Touko feel very guilty about keeping the truth from Yuki but she should feel guilty about keeping it from us viewers. Yuki goes outside and tries to be pretty but a baby dragon Mikage/black Mokona falls on his head. TADA it is Luka’s pet whom I will call Fattie as…it is fat. Yuki ruins this magical moment by talking about how sad he is that he didn’t get to say goodbye to Kanata. Where is that fool anyway? Oh is he hanging out with human like Duras and looking evil while drinking wine? Why yes, yes he is.

Photobucket

Luka exists for the sole purpose of being the THING Yuki leans on when he sleeps.

Yuki gets all tired so Luka carries him to bed. Luka then watches over Yuki as he sleeps because that is the creepy thing to do. But the only thing he witnesses is a dream that Yuki has about Kanata. Probably not what he wanted to see. Also there are more people feeling sorry for themselves because they are lying to Yuki. Morning comes but Hotsuma and Shuusei are not on the I LOVE YUKI train quite yet. Hotsuma almost was but he then runs to catch up to Shuusei (who is happy that his BFF picked him over Yuki). Over breakfast Yuki is reintroduced to Isuzu who looks a lot better when he showers and Katsumi who is the chef for the mansion. Fattie shows how much he really loves Isuzu and Yuki brings that sap as he explains what he treasures the most is his relationships. All is lovely and stuff but then Yuki is sad since he can’t be BFFs with Hotsuma and Shuusei. But they are too busy walking to school….with Kanata in the back ground. The end!!!

Photobucket

Just focus on the sparkles!

M O G. I had my Microsoft word program minimized so I could do two things at once. I maximized and I just saw how huge my summary was. X_X Holy crap! There was no battle or anything….so how did I write so much?! X_X I am crazy.

Photobucket

We are not amused!

I feel like naming this episode “The many faces of Luka”. He seriously was very entertaining throughout the entire episode. Mad Luka, very mad Luka, embarrassed Luka, killer Luka, caring Luka, and finally happy Luka. Thank you Luka for making this episode pretty awesome.

Photobucket

Boy hugs piss Luka off more than girl hugs. Wonder why.

Note to all: no one is allowed to hug Luka. Well they can but they will get very stern looks from Luka. And he’s a demon. Yeah.

Apparently at the Twilight Mansion you need a gimmick. If you can’t set things on fire or sparkle you need to have a really stupid hat. Hi Tachibana and Tachibana’s stupid hat!

Photobucket

Luka loves Tachibana!

I am not sure what to think about Tachibana. He reminds me a little of Break from Pandora Hearts without the really creepy smile. Or maybe the Mad Hatter. But I am curious to see what his story is. Not so much Aya and Katsumi.

Photobucket

HOW SHOCKING!

Kanata is evil?! I AM SHOCKED AND AMAZED?! I am curious when he got his crew of baddies but I am not shocked that he is a baddie himself. Hopefully he doesn’t die since Yuki will become a huge ball of sadness forever. But I sense he will die or Yuki will die saving Kanata. Not really great options there. Maybe I will be proven wrong and Kanata isn’t really a baddie. It is just destiny and he needs to be saved from his fate. Brainwashing and all.

Hotsuma almost being a part of the group was nearly cute. I am starting to think that Shuusei is either the real hater of Yuki or he doesn’t want to like Yuki because Hotsuma is the hater. Either way they are not feeling apart of the group yet. Which is fine, Yuki probably needs some breathing room. Hopefully they don’t continue down the we hate Yuki train for long, I don’t think his little heart can take it.

Photobucket

FEED ME!

I am also not sure how I feel about Fattie/Sodom. Especially his name. But he really does look like a baby Mikage dragon who got a bit of black Mokona in him. I am not sure why Luka picked this little guy as a pet since he is not really great at flying. But since he is good at attacking people and loving Yuki Fattie can stay.

Photobucket

Be gentle of Luka's fragile heart!

Yuki saying he loves Kanata made me X_X. Which is funny since I am a big yaoi/triangle girl lover. I guess I didn’t expect him to be that honest? But of course I feel sad for Luka who had to hear such a confession.

Photobucket

You can tell us. We can keep a secret.

This entire series better not be one big OH NO we are keeping a secret from boy Yuki woe is us! We get it everyone! Ya’ll knew girl Yuki and missed her and crap. But appreciate this Yuki for who he is. And if you don’t want to lie to him then don’t lie to him! Tell him the truth! I mean….there are sparkle dogs and random brothers and weird powers. How much worse can it get?

Photobucket

Luka smiling is very scary business.

Even though there was a serious lack of action this episode I still enjoyed it. XD The cast is a little big now but I guess that means there won’t be any dull moments around the mansion. I am sure Luka will be thrilled.

Kobato Drops 21 a and 21 b


Photobucket

CLAMP never fails to impress me with their art.

It seems like FOREVER since I last blogged about Kobato. The anime is over and the manga comes out like once every 45 days. I am having serious withdrawals here people.

But this moth there is happiness to blog about. XD Spoiler alert!!!...I think this CLAMP story will end happily. Some very important plot related stuff has been revealed and it has made me happy. Rejoice at the happy because things will inevitably get really, really sad before we reach the actual happy.

But for now....WOOT! Prepare for screenies and Kobato acting like a nut. Not that I need to warn for that....




Photobucket

Aw crap! I accidentally showed feelings!

Drop 21A starts off with Fujimoto pretending he has feelings. Which is lovely, I want him to have feelings. He is worried about if Kobato is coming to the nursery today and if she is still sad. Sayaka teases Fujimoto a little about being a human being with real feelings so he runs outside where he can pretend he is a bad boy who is too tough to care. But Sayaka knows the truth and muses that Kobato has changed her life too.

Photobucket

Kobato should have her own comedy act.

But Fujimoto LIED. He was really going back to his apartment which is next to Kobato’s apartment. XD He tries to convince himself that he is not making a special trip but it’s too late to deny it now Fujimoto! Not that it matters as Kobato and her spazzy self comes walking up the pathway.

Photobucket

This page is so pretty yet makes me feel so very sad.

After Kobato’s spaz attack Fujimoto asks if she is okay. Kobato lies and says that she is but we all know deep down she isn’t. I think that Kobato lying is a pretty good sign that she is human (in case there was any doubts). Most CLAMP heroines are incapable of lying except when it comes from talking about their feelings and Kobato is no exception. But the special part of Kobato is that she truly believes she is covering up what happened last night.

Photobucket

Kobato's spaz is contagious.

Fujimoto is a kind person and tries to not call out Kobato on her lying. That and he might have already used up all his caring for the day. But then he surprises us again by asking how the cakes were that he left for Kobato the night before. Kobato says they were lovely and she lets it slip that she didn’t eat any. Instead of pressing the issue (WHY CAN’T YOU EAT) Fujimoto has a REALLY cute attack and wanted to know which cake Kobato liked the most. Probably so he could buy them for her again. That…was cute Fujimoto. I shall hug you and squeeze you and forgot about 84 percent of the crappy things you have done thus far. When called out on his niceness Fujimoto runs to clean without a broom. Awesome.

Photobucket

All these girls putting other people first makes me RARW!

While going to fetch the brooms Fujimoto notices Sayaka talking on the phone looking really upset. Kobato notices Fujimoto noticing all that and almost has a sad moment. But then she decides to smile. It is a very sad smile but a smile none the less. She wants to heal Fujimoto because she wants him to smile. This is CLAMP’s way of saying Kobato loves Fujimoto. But it takes a strong person to want to make another person happy when they are in love with someone else. Not that Fujimoto is in love with Sayaka but that is what Kobato thinks.

Photobucket

Pay no attention to the suspicious man in plain sight!

Drop 21b starts off with Okiura’s thug coming to pay Kobato a visit. I had to stop and think who this punk was because it has been like a year since we readers last saw him. Thanks CLAMP for your timely updates. This is me not going crazy.

Photobucket

Biggest question marks ever!

But Mr. Thugy (maybe he has a name but names are not important!) has come to visit with Kobato. Even though she keeps having spaz attacks he manages to thank her for saving him that day. He is a bit confused on why Kobato would do such a thing for him after the way he has treated her but Kobato turns on the charm and he realizes that she is just a sweet girl.

Photobucket

This will probably not end well....

Kobato surprises him again when she asks to see Okiura. The dude had some sense of honor when he said he needed to repay his debt to her and she wastes her wish on Okiura. Okay maybe waste is a bit of strong language but you know. It was the obvious answer because Kobato is too nice for words. But we also know she is going to be hurt by this process which makes us sad.

Photobucket

I want Ioryogi to love me!!!!!!!!!

Elsewhere in the land of Kobato Ginsei is having a fit. He is losing his damn mind because Kobato has fallen in love with Fujimoto. Ginsei isn’t worried about Kobato falling in love with the wrong man though. No his reasons are a little more…selfish than that. If Kobato decides to stay on Earth (this Earth/universe whatever) then Ioryogi can’t fulfill his promise with God and all those punished will remain in animal form. I think I would be a little pissed too….

Photobucket

I seriously was not expecting this....but thank God the angel and Kobato are two separate people.

Then Mr. Bear decides to open up a can of WTF on us readers. But a good WTF since most of us were really, really worried about a potential Ioryogi/Kobato/Fujimoto love triangle. I didn’t want either man to be hurt so even though this might be slightly confusing CLAMP has saved the manga and we are probably going to have a happy ending now. Rejoice!!!

Photobucket

Power up the angel battery!

I was slightly confused when I first read this chapter but after rereading it I now understand. Before I thought that the angel’s soul was in control of Kobato so we really have never seen the real Kobato. But now I read it as Kobato is kept alive by the angel’s soul, like energy. That makes me happy in a sense. I want Kobato to love Fujimoto so it works out that both she and Ioryogi will be happy. You know…if no one dies and all.

Photobucket

I want to see his face!!!!

Mr. Bear then explains that when his angel love put her soul in Kobato that is when Ioryogi went to God and asked to save them both. Now I am sure at the time Ioryogi was only concerned about his angel love. Which I am fine with. I do not think someone who is willing to break out a war is capable of caring about some random human girl he accidentally cared about. I get that Ioryogi was an uncaring person and only wanted to protect what was his at the time.

Photobucket

Everyone is up and having feelings in this chapter!

But God always has a plan. His punishments exist to help those who are being “punished”. He sent Ioryogi to guide and watch over Kobato as she filled her bottle up. Over time he has learned to love Kobato for who she is. Now Ioryogi cares about both girls disappearing and that is why he is all pensive and moody lately. Ioryogi has changed for the better. He is still a hot head but deep down this punishment has changed him. That means he will be a better lover to the angel once he gets her. You know he will!

No news on what the bottle does. In the anime once the bottle was filled it was able to send Kobato to where she wanted to go. That ended up being by Fujimoto’s side but since he had been reincarnated it really just helped ensure both would be together in the future. The bottle may be used the same way now but since the manga has gone into more detail about Ioryogi’s involvement in Kobato’s death the bottle might be something else. Doubt it but that is a possibility.

We all knew that the manga was going to give us a more concrete ending than the anime. The anime ended well enough for me but now I will be more satisfied now that Ioryogi will get a girl too and things will make more sense. I am surprised that we are got an explanation before the actual ending but that might be better for us. Then we can focus on Fujimoto handling the shock now that we know the truth.

These chapters were really eye opening. Really makes me wish that Kobato came out more than once a month. I want my happy ending and I want it now!!!!

Summer 2010 Anime Line-Up


Photobucket

Summer fun for everyone! Insert random trips to the beach!

It seriously feels like yesterday when I made this post for the Spring 2010 anime season. Now suddenly we are getting ready for the Summer 2010 anime season? Where is my year going?! Why does work drag on forever and my fun time at home whoosh by me....

Whatever the case I have decided I shall post what I think I shall be watching/blogging about during the summer months and my overall opinion of the summer season.

Sadly this post will be short and my thoughts on this upcoming season will probably be very similar to many people's out there. *sigh*. At least the Spring season was good to us?

Kuroshitsuji 2

Photobucket

Um...where is my Ceil?

Synopsis: A sequel to the first Kuroshitsuji anime, about a 12 year old English Noble and his impeccably skilled butler, who happens to be a demon. The new series will introduce butler Claude Faustus and master Alois Trancy as the principal characters.

Not going to lie…really disappointed in this summary. I truly thought any new season of this show would be about Ceil and Sebastian. Because in my stupid mind I thought OH SNAP Sebastian really didn’t kill a 12 year old kid and something happen that gives Ceil another chance at life. But then the hard core fans out there would be all pissy about the ending being useless or something. Whatever, I had my hopes up to see Ceil again and now I am disappointed.

So now we have two new characters that people can pair up despite the fact that one of them is 12. 12 people! Not sure how I feel about this. It could be a To Aru Majutsu no Index/To Aru Kagaku no Railgun situation and I will enjoy the new characters. Or I could find myself hating the show and wishing to see my old favorites. I guess we will see. Sebastian was hotter and Ceil was not as creepy looking.

High School of the Dead

Photobucket

BRAINNNNNNS!!!

Synopsis: The world is plunged into chaos when an outbreak of a supposed disease transmitted by bites causes people to become the living dead. In Japan, a group of students and a nurse find their high school overrun and must group together to escape and survive.

I love zombie movies. I love cheesy Sci-Fi movies. I love cheesy Sci-Fi movies about zombies. I especially love Resident Evil. I am not sure if this show is going to have a comic edge to the end of the world (as seen in some moments of Dawn of the Dead) or it it’s going to only be doom and gloom and holy crap things are really bad. Either way I am willing to give this show a whirl. I predict this show will be one of the more popular shows of the season.

Although…I am a little bit put off by all the images of this show/manga I am finding on the web. Lots of huge boobies. TONS. Like gross looking kind of huge. This is bumming me out. :( Hopefully the show won’t be that pervy. Actually I think I can handle a bit of pervy but not boobs that are shaped in a way that is not even remotely possible or sexy. What are you thinking silly boys!

And…that’s it. Strike Witch is on my watch list but since I haven’t seen season one yet I can’t go MOG YAY NEW SEASON! I might pick this show up if I catch up on season one before season two starts. Amagami SS almost sounded interesting until I read the summary more carefully. I am not sure how I feel about the main dude hooking up with all the girls. Too many what ifs and lets start over from the beginning crap going on there. The art looks nice which really makes me pout. :(

The summer season is looking really light. :( Which is fine considering the Spring season has really been full and positive for me. Had the Spring season been crap I would be a little more disappointing but I can’t be greedy. So while I am sad maybe I can focus on catching up on some older shows or reading more mangas.

Angel Beats Episode 8


Photobucket


Note to self: Do not watch an anime I like when I am in a bad mood. Even though I have said in the past that watching some of my favorite animes put me in a better mood. It does not apply to me today. So I am sorry Angel Beats! that my full love and devotion will not be upon you today.

But Angel Beats! is still a very awesome show. I hope that comes across in my blog despite my spectacular fail of a day at work. I will blog through the rage….and sleepiness. XD

Today’s post is brought to you by flowers. Flowers. The things that make you smile after a long day and fill your house with pleasant smells.


Photobucket

Mortal Kombat!!!!

Episode Summary: Everyone is all WHOA when the bad Tenshi shows up. Yuri tries protecting the group but bad Tenshi proves to be a lot more aggressive than good Tenshi. After Otonashi’s impromptu attacks fail good Tenshi attacks but is struck down by bad Tenshi. Good Tenshi loses and the SSS group takes her to the clinic. Naoi does a good job of insulting everyone in the group (except his lover Otonashi) and explains the seriousness of the situation. Yuri tells everyone to go to class while she thinks of a plan. While everyone is trying to amusing themselves Yuri sneaks into Tenshi’s room and reprograms some stuff on the computer. Basically makes a brand new attack that will force the bad Tenshi to reunite with the good. Before Yuri can ask the good Tenshi to upload the new program good Tenshi is kidnapped.

Photobucket

Bring on the sadness!

After searching the campus for the good Tenshi it is determined that the bad Tenshi has taken the good one to the destroyed Guild. Our group heads down the trap infested lair to rescue good Tenshi. Bad Tenshi appears and the group uses most of their ammo trying to take her out. Noda is suddenly killed by another bad Tenshi who appears. The group escapes but realizes (through the help of Mr. Cheerful Naoi) that bad Tenshi can clone herself now too and this was all a trap. Matsushita dies protecting the group by floppin his huge body on bad Tenshi #3. One by one the group follows Matsushita’s lead and die taking out one of the bad Tenshis. Otonashi and Yuri are the only ones left who make it to the Guild explosion site. Well Yui made it too but accidentally killed herself on the way down. Yuri takes on the last bad Tenshi (and wins despite a new attack) while Otonashi rescues the good Tenshi. He urges her to use the new program that would bring the bad Tenshi back into herself. He learns too late that the after effect of such a program might seriously damage good Tenshi and he can only watch helplessly as good Tenshi suffers. The end.
Okay. That was interesting. And confusing. Not as confusing as Kobato Drop 21b BUT you know….no one can do confusing better than CLAMP. Angel Beats! will just have to be only semi confusing. Poor me.

I am still going to call Tenshi Tenshi. Because I want to continue down the path of confusion. I care that much.

Photobucket

I am glad Yuri picked up on that.

I really thought that there was only going to be one bad Tenshi. I thought there was going to be a cut and dry answer to the problem…or at the very least Yuri would come up with an elaborate plan to squish the bad Tenshi and the good Tenshi will be their BFFs forever. But this is Angel Beats!. Everything we think is going to happen gets smashed into pieces and we are given something totally different.

Photobucket

Hinata is seriously my favorite. XD

There are at least 11 bad Tenshis cloned from one program. She is a super awesome fighter and much more aggressive than good Tenshi. But apparently she can get taken down if at 100 pounds is flung upon her. Or flopped on her. Or merely lays down gently on her. Not really buying the easy way all the bad Tenchis were taken out but that would be me being a wet blanket right.

Photobucket

Well...almost episode 2. Got a few new members now.

This episode was almost like episode 2 in regards to everyone dying. And Yuri and Otonashi being the last two standing. And even though everyone died it was still pretty funny. Yes they already used the gag and it wasn’t really original but I still had fun laughing at everyone’s pain. The funniest death was Naoi as….no one mourned for his death. It was still operation fail plan but everyone was all boo hooing after everyone’s death so YAY!

Photobucket

Aw :( Sadness fills my heart.

I want to go on record that I get Noda and Fujimaki confused all the time. Or really I think Fujimaki is Noda. Poor Fujimaki is not important enough to be remembered.

The part of the show that confuses me the most is the computer aspects. I think that I think too much and less thinking would make the show more enjoyable. I get caught up in the what does that mean instead of just accepting that this is a world made up of maybe dead kids. The rules don’t apply. So if Tenshi is a computer program and how she is able to use computer programs on herself aren’t really important. Just enjoy!

Photobucket

My Tenshi in pain screenie looked like crud. So look at Otonashi being sad instead.

I do feel bad that good Tenshi had to endure all that pain. Hopefully it won’t be too much on her soul/self because the bad Tenshis weren’t out and about that long. But she seems to be in pain despite that and I hope she doesn’t go back into “not caring” Tenshi mode. The series does have to go somewhere at this point and I am not sure where that might be…….Still. Whether or not Tenshi is working for god or not I don’t enjoy seeing tiny computer program maybe girls in pain.

Photobucket

a very subtle boy....


Photobucket

Get the eff out of my yaoi love triangle!

There was a severe lack of yaoi tension vibes between Otonashi and Hinata. Instead Naoi tried to fill that role and failed. :( His failing was kinda cute though. Instead Hinata and Yui have a thing going on which totally kills my pairings. Kills. I will just reread the latest XXXholic chapter again so I can be in love with my TRUE pairing.

Photobucket

Morph into Professor Yuri!

Overall this episode was pretty straight forward. Except for Yuri being able to make/change a program like that. If she could do that 1) Why didn’t she do that before with Tenshi’s weapons/guards and b) why didn’t she do that NOW with Tenshi’s weapons? Either way I think Yuri knows much more about this world than she is letting on.

Angel Beats!. Got to love the crazy and confusing world these kids live in. I have no idea what is coming next but in a way that makes me happy. Confused but happy.
I predict next Friday will be even worse at work. I hope Angel Beats can save the day!

Photobucket

XO My yaoi love triangle is in danger!

XXXholic Rou Oneshot Special: The Tsubasa Crossover that wasn't


Photobucket

Bring on the tears and the booze!

Today is my anniversary. I have been married for 4 years now (although it seems like much longer....). But instead of posting about my day and how lovely my husband is I will talk about Tsubasa and XXXholic. Because I have my priorities straight. or I am insane.

Seriously I did have a great day today and truly I love my husband. But he will forgive me because this involves Fai. My husband knows not to get in the middle of my fangirling over Fai. Dangerous things could happen.

Spoilers for the XXXholic Rou Oneshot Special. Also beware of random yelling!


Photobucket

My signature looks like....scribbles. :( I'm boring.

Watanuki and Mokona are discussing something super duper serious. Or something really simple that has been blown up into something super duper serious because this is the CLAMP universe. Watanuki has to create his signature now...even though he has been the shop owner for 4 years now. I am not sure how the timeline goes in these specials but one would think Watanuki would have already gotten that important/simple task down by now. But it is a time for Watanuki to be sad about Yuuko so I would be that mean to him.

Photobucket

The best guests EVER!

Mokona explains to Watanuki he needs to think long and hard how to make his signature unique. Watanuki goes outside in the rain to think of something and suddenly someone says the bird. Who could it be?! Syaoran of course. And he brought along Fai and Kurogane and Mokona too!!!!

Fai is lovely. I would have enjoyed their entrance more if Fai and Kurogane were closer. Not trying to go crazy shipper on you but I think that those two truly have grown closer in Tsubasa and I would like the physical distance between them to represent that too.

Photobucket

Aw a brotherly reunion....

Watanuki is very happy to see Syaoran and company. Apparently this is the first time since the end of Tsubasa that Syaoran and gang has made it to Watanuki's world which surprises me. Wasn't White Mokona able to take the Tsubasa boys back to worlds they had the most memories of AKA Clow Country and Watanuki's shop? I guess often is a relative term considering how many worlds are out there. I was just expecting the visits to be much more frequent and sooner.

Photobucket

How much more proof do you people need!?!?!?

The Mokonas are beyond happy to be together again. Which is fine but me being the special yaoi fangirl I am have picked up on the very tiny details. Notice the white Mokona and black Mokona snuggling. Fai and Kurogane look on and are happy the two creatures can be together. Like them. White Fai and Black Kurogane. This is not lost upon me people. Do we see those smiles?! They know they are lucky to travel together and around each other all the time. BECAUSE THEY ARE IN LOVE.

Putting that all aside...I think this scene is very cute and important. Proof too. But Kurogane needs to smile more, I enjoy seeing a happy Kurogane.

Photobucket

These people need to hug more. Seriously.

While Kurogane and Fai have a moment Watanuki and Syaoran are outside having their own. Syaoran states that Watanuki has gotten stronger and truly is the owner of the shop. Watanuki thinks that Syaoran is just being nice but smiles anyway. Syaoran is a bit down because he hasn't seen Sakura since they left Clow Country but he hopes her universe is up soon.

Photobucket

STAY LONGER! Also...why was there no talk about how their mission is going.....

AND THEN THEY GO HOME! Seriously I hate that. The HI we are here and the next minute BYE we are leaving. I want to see the stuff in between! I wanted to see more of Fai. This is a very disappointing crossover that I wasn't expecting people! It's my anniversary, I deserve more Fai action! Just...rarw.

Photobucket

Always helping and giving this crowd.

But they are leaving. Everything is sad but people promise to meet again and they all pretend it is rainbow and kisses time. Watanuki starts to glow and says that he thinks that he has enough power now to help send the gang to where Sakura is. Watanuki says the price has already been paid so it is traveling time. NOOOOOOO!!!

Photobucket

Ah memories.

Watanuki explains to his Mokona that the price was paid when Syaoran helped him decide how his signature should go. Everyone say AWWWW! He has decided on birds, moreso the wings of a bird (Tsubasa HAHAHAHA) and all is well. He strikes a Yuuko pose and wishes them well on their journey. The end.

Photobucket

No thank YOU! XD

....Yeah there could have been more Fai. But since this is XXXholic it might be better if Watanuki is the main focal point. I can still dream though. Dream of a day when Fai and Kurogane are without a doubt a couple in black and white so everyone knows. But I know so that's all that matters. Happy anniversary to me!!!!

Well there was also more happiness as Kobato 21b was also translated but that confusing/happy mess deserves its own post. For now I am happy with any Fai I can get. Celebrate all!
