F is for Fanservice

[prillalar]

So I watched tenipuri 164 raw.

Oh. My. God. The bicycle shorts.





I die.

Also, Kaidoh was just so cute, with his headset phone and his bicycle and his code name. I'm sure he thought he was the coolest spy guy ever. (Sorry, sweetie, you're my baby, but you'll never be Racer X.) Here's a tip: if you're going undercover, lose the bandana. (And I'm not just saying that just so I can see your pretty hair.)

And then there were the gloves. The fingerless gloves. And this...



Words fail me. I am thinking bad, bad thoughts now.

But we were so cheated out of a Speedo shot.

La la la, I'm so obsessed.

I'm a little ticked because this ep kind of jossed a story I was planning. Well, I can still write it, but now everybody is going to think I got my idea from the ep, which I did not. I guess if I'm really that petty, I can put a petty author's note on it explaining how I'm really a creative genius, not a cheesy copier.

Back to the bad thoughts because they're fun.

Oh. My. GODS. *dies*

I... I... I think I'm going to pass out. Seriously. Kaidou, my GODS. You... GUH. Okay, if Momo ever sees you like that, even HE is not going to be able to stay in denial any more. GUH. *shivers*

*whines* Must... catch... UP... *snarls at eps that continue to refuse to download* Still on 138, damn it.

Need to learn more Japanese so I don't have to wait for the fansubs. Nyer. ;p

*goes back to drooling*

Well, I don't know any Japanese (yet -- I'm learning) beyond what I've picked up watching anime, but tenipuri isn't rocket science so I find the raws aren't that hard to follow. I miss the nuance (you know, when there *is* nuance) but the gist is not hard to get.

And sometimes kind people post write-ups of the eps too.

And, yes, Kaidoh. Just. Yes. That last pic -- I had to stop the ep and stare and catch my breath when that scene came up.

I mean, I was so happy after last week's Kaidoh-centric (and oh-so-shippy ep). I didn't expect to get so much more goodness so soon.

(Is everyone in my flist studying Japanese, including me?)

Soooooooo in there with you about the bad thoughts.

There is never enough Kaidoh-love in the world (though if he keeps wearing that... he might put a remedy to that).

[prillalar]

Hee! I've been wanting to study Japanese for years and I finally decided I should just do it on my own and not wait until I could go back to school. (I'd like to give Russian a try sometime too.) I've never learned a non-Indo-European language before, so it should be interesting. I'm trying to start at the beginning of my textbook, but I keep sneaking ahead and reading all the grammar. *g*

I just about died watching Kaidoh in this ep, especially that last cap. Just. God. I keep going back to stare at it. And then I think about him doing that to Momoshiro and my little brain explodes.

...I'm not seeing it. Really, I'm just seeing run-of-the-mill shorts.

Though I do agree with the you-are-SO-not-pulling-off-the-spy-act,-Kaidoh bit.

They love us so much!
But poor Kaoru-chan is going to have some hard time as a chibi baby in next chapter, I'm afraid ^^''

[prillalar]

They do, they really do.

I think Kaoru-chan can tough it out. :)

[prillalar]

You don't think so? Politics, I'm relaxed. Religion, not a problem. But when it comes to Kaidoh's shorts, all must agree with me!!!!

*mutters*

*prepares long shorts-related rant*

*froths at the mouth*

*is restrained by significant other*

*lies down for a bit*

*has a soothing drink*

OK, I'm better now. :)
