Comments on Saiyuki Reload Ep. 7

[gracie_musica]

Okay... saw the infamous 'cat' episode of Saiyuki Reload.

1.) Dude. The guys falling all over a cat? ... maybe. I can buy Hakkai and Goku doing it. Gojyo and Sanzo... not so much. Although we all knew that frigid jackass had a somewhat soft side.

2.) Cho Hakkai. I am ashamed of you. You picked the equivalent of "Tortoise" for a calico cat? Goku didn't say "neko-neko", man. Creativity. And Gojyo's was a common name, but it was kinda random.

3.) And another thing on the names: they came up with "Tama" (Goku), "Mi-ke" (*sigh* Hakkai...), and "Betty" (Gojyo). I, personally, prefer the Merciful Goddess' idea of "Daigoro". Just say the name: "Dai-go-ro". It's awesome. Anyway, the cat's true name? "Mei-Mei", which is Chinese for 'little sister'. At least they get points for keeping Saiyuki's cultural setting correct.

4.) THE CAT IS A MARY SUE. I didn't even think that a cat could be a Mary Sue. Everyone loves her, she's pretty and perfect and she saves the main character's life. Dude. That's just a 'wow'. So points in my book.

All in all, mixed opinion on it.

Still think they should be in frickin' Iraq by now, though. Fits with all the sand.

Dude, they're on a Jeep that goes at least sixty an hour (at least I mean hot damn Hakuryu can move it move it D: ). IT SHOULDN'T TAKE THEM MORE THAN A YEAR, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT TAKES THEM ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO DISPOSE OF AN ENTIRE ARMY AND MAYBE A DAY OR TWO TO TAKE CARE OF THE RANDOM EVIL PEOPLE WHO POP UP AND HAVE NAMES AND TEACH THEM LESSONS ABOUT LIFE. D:<

I love Minekura to ickle bits, but.

FOR SERIOUS. D:<

^__^ Thank you. I realized it was our anniversary while writing this post, actually. :: laughs ::

And very true. China's big, but it ain't that big.

[myroughdraft.livejournal.com]

Happy Anniversary!!

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

#^__^# Thank you.

Someone told me they liked the anime Reload better than Gensomaden. LOL! What comedy.

Reload (the anime) SUCKS. I quite like the manga.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

eh, it's better than some things I've seen so far (which is really said). Of course, I'm just a fandom whore, so that gives me extra motivation to watch. :: laughs ::

Perfect icon, btw

[myroughdraft.livejournal.com]

I've seen most of Reload unfortunately, and I regret a lot of it, hahah.

Look at my new icon. *sighs dreamily*

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

I'm downloading it, so I'm gonna give it a shot. If I don't like it, I can always delete it, after all.

[akisawana.livejournal.com]

Icon love like whoa!

[madame-maya.livejournal.com]

Lol, yes, that cat really IS a Mary-sue when you think about it!

Remember Shun-rei? She sort of acted like a Mary-sue, too. I mean, come on:

Gojyo: You know, I'm a half demon...

Shun-rei: (Something) ..And I want to thank you for telling me.

Come ON, Minekura-sensei! The only non-Mary-sue female characters I've seen so far are Lirin and Yaone! *Whines* She's even given us Gary-lou's for crying out loud! (Or whatever you call male Mary-sue's, heh.)

*Whimper* *Whine*

...So what does that say about Minekura?

Ah, and Hakkai's name for her; change one letter and he'd have called her a tree, lol. ((Miki.) But really, Gojyo. Betty? *Shakes head sadly* You poor thing, lol...

Lol, anyway. Happy Second Anniversery, Gracie.

But I have to disagree with you on one thing; they woundlt be in Iraq.

...They'd be in frickin' EGYPT by now in minekura had any sense of direction...

It must be matrimony week and no one told me; two of my cousins just announced they were getting married, lol.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

True, Shunrei was rather Mary Sue. As a human in a mixed relationship, she of ALL people should have known that crimson hair and eyes were the result.

What does it say about Minekura? It just says that there are a lot of really lost people in the world. And our poor troupe has to stumble across each and every one.

The 'Betty' thing... I nearly died, because only_a_dream had just done a collaboration piece over on 1000_miles_west, the one we now refer to as cake!pr0n. He was thinking about chocolate cake when he named that cat. :: nods ::

Mmmn, maybe Egypt. Although it would be really entertaining to hear the argument when Hakkai points out that Sanzo wants to go south. Saiyuki reminds me of a comic strip I once read: "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line... But a crooked one is a lot more fun."

#^__^# Thank you. And congrats to the cousins. Spring fever in Fall.

Congratulations to the Musica Pair! We almost share an anniversary y'know, mine is next week ^_^

I'm giving the Ikkou the benefit of the doubt and reckon they must have driven home a few times, you know left the water running, left the gas on, see the therapist.

Mmmm Mary-Sue-age ... the biggest one is the four girls meet the four guys episode ... it made me laugh for the sheer twelve-year-old-ness of it.

Do you think there's a "forgotten" episode fo Saiyuki where they book the journey through a travel agent? (Now there's a crackfic for me to write). The Eastern Tour "travel the East at a leisurely pace, finally arriving to your luxury hotel in India".

Actually didn't they mention the "Kill the Sanzo-Ikkou with zeal and fervor tour" ... they should have upgraded.

4.) THE CAT IS A MARY SUE.

~ jumps up and down ~ I wanna be the cat! Me! Lucky cat.

and an apology to you.. I thought I had added you to my fl a long time ago. I would see your name pop up under '1000 miles west' and other writing comms and just didn't realize I wasn't actually seeing YOU. Yes, I am just that stupid.

so anyway.. you've been added. :o)

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

:: laughs :: Oh, yes, so ditto. What female (cat or otherwise) in its right mind would run out of Gojyo's room? I'd be all snuggled up next to him. :: giggles ::

[akisawana.livejournal.com]

And if he hadn't met me, we wouldn't be celebrating our second anniversary on Thursday
Congrats!!!

And I love the cat episode, because it's so terrible. I don't get how anyone can take the anime seriously. So. Much. Crack.
Have you seen the bathouse episode? That's probably my favorite crack one.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Thank you. ^__^

And I know it's complete crack! But that's one of the things that makes it completely hysterical. :: snickers :: This part's a lot like Full Metal Panic! FOUMOUFFO? if you ask me.

[akisawana.livejournal.com]

Ths squirt guns are the funniest thing ever.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Just saw the bath house one.

Favorite. Episode. EVER.

Half-naked Hakkai and Gojyo in a bath? Wonderful. the NC-17 bunnies just perked up

Hakkai teasing Goku about Sanzo turning into a demon (when he knows that it requires blood to turn into a demon)? Fabulous.

Hakkai with a super-soaker? Amazing.

I always knew that man had a wicked streak.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Early congrats to you. ^__^

I'm giving the Ikkou the benefit of the doubt and reckon they must have driven home a few times, you know left the water running, left the gas on, see the therapist.

Hmn... The ikkou in therapy... That I would love to see. Five minutes, and Sanzo's on anti-depressants.

And I think the "Kill the Sanzo-ikkou" tour was in the first season of Saiyuki, when they were fighting the reanimated corpses (right before Chin Yisu was introduced).

Hullo, hullo. I just wanted to drop a comment saying that your fic Southern Charm is one of the most wicked FAKE WIPs I've ever read (I am living vicariously in New Orleans, I don't know how else to describe it), and your characterisation is sheer brilliance (*delighted sob* you don't make Ryo into a whiny uke! in fact, far from it -- chapter 6, rawr), and I'd be over the moon if I could friend you, pleasekthxbai.

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Oh, and if you don't mind a strange internets person saying so, happy belated anniversary to you, ma'am. :)

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

#^__^# Thank you for both the congrats and the praise to Southern Charm! Of course you can friend me, feel free, and it's always nice to meet a fellow FAKE fan!
