May. 9th, 2004 12:02 amI skipped Inu Yasha tonight. I remember this ep and I didn't much like it the first time around. Next week's episode though-- that's a good one.
I did watch Wolf's Rain ep#3. In comparison to most anime, this has lovely art and lovely music. However, the story... it's so average. It's so... mundane. It's a normal anime bishounen plotline with one-dimensional characters from same production company that made CB, which was full of fascinating plotlines and extraordinary characters. I can't help but compare them, and Wolf's Rain suffers for the comparison. Not because it's bad or anything--- it's just not great.
And the little one is just so fucking annoying.
Oh well. This is only episode 3 after all, and there's two dozen more eps to go. I'll be watching next week as usual.
Oh god--- am I going to be able to watch cable in my dorm at UCI? I can't lose Cartoon Network-- it's kill me! Gotta find a way, gotta find a way...

And I hate that Tsume has better hips than I do.
Word. I do like his leather outfit though.

... what do their voices sound like in the dub, incidentally? Been wonderin'.

Does the show ever explain why none of these wolves have families? Like, where's their parents? How come they're all males? You don't have to answer the questions themselves, just a yes or no on if they're brought up at all.
