Mokona Modoki

tsubasa. i've picked up the first two books of manga. while the first book introduced characters not as interesting as i had hoped, the basis of the story was pretty amusing. traveling to different worlds that take all of CLAMPs creations and mix them all up. i rather enjoy seeing them in their different incarnations. book 2 was much more entertaining.

as for the anime...i watched the first three eps last night. the character designs are kinda flat and bland. and their voices are generic.

the voices....blech. i guess it was too much to hope for some of the previous seiyuu to reprise their roles. and much too much to ask for megumi-dono to return. ah well, i was a tad perplexed with umeko's voice coming out of mokona's mouth. i was just waiting for mokona to spout out some dekaranger jazz.

yuuko looked pretty cool, but again her voice was odd. she sounded too young and inexperienced. i thought her voice would be a tone lower and have a more regal sound to it. shame we didnt see more of her in show.

the music. the opening theme is lame. and the ending theme is better but it could be better. the see-saw girls have a cool song abut they use it way too often for way too lengthy a time. its over-played and loses it's 'umph'. and in the 3rd ep, they had this lame lame LAME pop song that came in at the most inappropriate time. some of the bgm is nice but there's so little of it. the show would be better with more fitting seiyuu and bgm. yeah, that's what it boils down to.

i want a kudan!! i dont know what it looks like. but i'll have one, if i dont have one already. hrmm.

i still fight the urge of jumping into the book/tv and stuffing their faces with fatty foods. my poor poor sakura and syaoran.

that and jerry noticed that tsubasa and kingdom hearts have similar stories. it's true!

and another sidenote janitha claims her alter ego as sora. and i claim my alter-ego as syaoran. i still like the kid very much. ^^

ah so i'm posting again. i'm currently stuck on a thought on my blurty entry. so what do i do? i open a new tab and log onto livejournal. added a couple more friends. maybe i'll add more as they come.

for the past month, i've had this young adult novel sitting in my bag. lilly gave it to me to read. i started it the day she gave it to me. but this entire summer, i've not been the readingest of person. it's a shame as i had a stack of books ready to consume my summer break. i finally picked up lilly's book and finished it.

Freak the Mighty. the title is brilliant i think. it has power and presence. the story is good. the characters quite lovely. i enjoyed the read. there's a sequel. Max the Mighty. i'm not sure if it'll be as grand as Freak, but still, i'm kinda curious now.

since i finished Freak the Mighty, i started on The Alchemist. my friend (and conscience) lina told me last summer that i must read this book. so i bought it this past weekend along with volume 1 of Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. does anyone know why it's spelled like that with the particular upper and lowercases? it irks me, but who am i to question CLAMP. they did have a reason for spelling Chobitsu in hiragana with the 'tsu' in katakana. that was pretty cute. i guess i'll find out if there is a reason in due time.

since i'm on Tsubasa. it's odd seeing syaoran and sakura so skinny. i want to leap into the pages and feed the two of them. but i kinda like the story. i dont get fai quite yet. what's his story? kurogane(sp?) is...well, he bores me right now. but so does fai. good thing syaoran's our hero. i've grown extremely fond of him from CCS. and its nice to see more of him, in this strange alternate-world storyline. I am enjoying how CLAMP is taking all of their previous works and throwing them into a bowl and shaking them up good. its pretty much them making one helluva fanfic of their work. i also enjoy how it crossed storyarcs with xxxHolic. i really do enjoy that book. Yuko is loads of fun.

and i've finished and posted my blurty entry. so i believe i'll post this entry for consistency's sake.
