::watches 53 second clip of Witch Hunter Robin in English on adultswim.com::

Eeeeee..... Amon's voice is so...so... not what I expected. The first line was stupid, but the second line, or word anyway, was alright.

::watches again::

::balks again::

Gah! I just.... I don't know! I can't decide. On the one hand, I adored this scene when I first saw it, because I loved how he drops out of the sky in front of the guy like a nightmare. One of my favorite Amon scenes. Look at that trenchcoat whip around.

But... his English voice. And that _pause_ between the words... "Yours powers... are useless against me."

That can't be translated right, can it? I know I've heard that in a movie or something.

Still... Amon is cute. He's not the main character, but he's cute.

Actually, of all the guys on Witch Hunter Robin, I'd date the young kid with the motorcycle, because Amon is kinda creepy, but still, cute!

(no subject)

I don't happen to look at my firends list for a day, and suddenly the world ends.

I had to find out about the cancellation of AtS while reading an off-hand comment on an anime fanboard about Joss Whedon being "out of a job because."

I felt so alone. ::sniffle::

I'm with settai: There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for this treachery.

2nd to last episode.

Thoughts on Sex And The City:

She told him off!
