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.

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.

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