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:<

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

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

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.

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)

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.

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.
