What do you mean I am the one who would dance on the floor in the round?

Perhaps unadvisedly, I downloaded the first episode of Ouran High Host Club. It is ridiculous love, such a fluffy keeper. It will be filled, I'm sure, with far-fetched scenarios and teasing hints of BL and it will make me smile whenever an episode drops and I won't think about it much in between. I need a few series like that in my life.

I finished up Garo last night. It ended very strongly and even made me cry at one point. And the fight scenes were superb. This show has always had great effects and well-choreographed fights. In the beginning, I wasn't that engaged, because good fighting is not enough to attach me to a show. I was bascially just watching for Kaoru, whom I love with the burning power of a thousand million suns. Kouga, I thought, was just a boring asshole in leather pants and eyeliner. But then Zero appeared on the scene and the episodes got stronger, creepy even, and Kouga started to actually change, little by little. By the end, I liked him a lot. (He's played by Hiroki Konishi, who was Ibu Shinji in Tenimyu.) There was only one flaw in the ending. ( Wah! )

And why isn't S2 of Honey and Clover here yet? I need more now! And has anyone seen the second special subbed yet? I just have the first one. (Romaiya-senpai!)

One more new anime: Gakuen Heaven

I wasn't going to download Gakuen Heaven, but I sort of went into a coma or something and when I woke up, there the first episode was on my hard drive.

It's based on a BL game and manga of the same name. I haven't seen the game, but I did read a bit of the manga a year or so ago. It was sexy and fun but I wasn't too fussed when I didn't get the rest of it.

Ito Keita receives an acceptance letter to the very prestigious Bell Liberty (BL, get it?) high school, even though he is ordinary in every way. He transfers in the middle of the semester and draws the attention of nearly everybody as they try to figure out what his special secret ability must be.

Pretty boys galore, a bit of intrigue, the promise of some sexual tension and hopefully at least a kiss or two. It seems a little bland, but for one thing. Or rather several things: the voice actors.

Oh my god. This is the real fanservice. The moment I heard Okiayu's voice, I knew I would be watching every single episode of this show. Let's see who we've got, shall we?

Morikawa Toshiyuki. His character is automatically my boyfriend in any series.
Youhei - Slam Dunk
Conrad - KKM
Kamiya - Aoki Densetsu Shoot (okay, I'm probably the only one watching this)
Volg - Hajime no Ippo

Konishi Katsuyuki
Shouri - KKM
Soubi - Loveless
Kajimoto - Prince of Tennis

Sakurai Takahiro
Yuuri - KKM
Orpherus - Meine Liebe (another show to watch just for the VAs)

And of course, Okiayu Ryotaro. I'm sure I don't need to make a list, but I will anyhow.
Byakuya - Bleach
Shigure - Fruits Basket
Scar - Fullmetal Alchemist
The demon king in the thing with the really long name that we were all watching just for his sexy evil voice.
Treize - Gundam Wing
Mitsui - Slam Dunk ♥♥♥
Tezuka - Prince of Tennis
And more, so much more.

This is just a sampling of the VAs. There are more you will recognize.

I have no idea if this show will be good enough to actually post about beyond this, let alone make icons for. But I will at least be watching, and more importantly, listening.

(no subject)

"Why not?" Fuji says, slipping, as he always does, through the net of data Inui tries to cast around him.

There is no sufficient reason to refuse, no answer to why not?. Inui puts his glasses in his pocket and bends his head to Fuji.

"I thought your eyes would be smaller," Fuji says and moves in close, his tongue finding Inui's mouth before their lips meet. He lays one hand on Inui's face, fingers splaying along his cheek.

Inui puts his hands on Fuji's waist and they kiss, open mouthed and slow, lazy breaths of air on a hot August day, no more movement than is necessary.

Fuji's body is thin and strong against Inui, like a green branch that bends impossibly far and then snaps into your face. There is something behind his kisses that says, I'm holding something back. Don't you want to know what it is?

Why not? Inui thinks. He slides one hand up inside Fuji's shirt and tries to remind himself that this is just to pass the time.
