gracie_musicaOkay... 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.

Date: 2005-10-12 02:57 am (UTC)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.

The 'Betty' thing... I nearly died, because
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.
