Damn!

I just found out that One Piece has been playing on Fox on Saturday mornings at 9:30am!

I could be watching that. It's a kooky, cute anime with pirates. I could be watching pirate anime! But I didn't even know it was on! Damn. I didn't even know it'd been liscenced and dubbed already.

Why didn't anyone tell me when stuff like this happens?

All that stuff in my previous comment? I yelled aloud to my computer in my empty dorm room. Literally.

(Fuu. She threw herself in front of a sword for him. He screamed at her to keep away! And she threw herself in front of a sword for him!)

I adored that scene. Mugen has NEVER had someone do that for him, you know it. He probably didn't even believe people capable of it.

But I loved that scene, and this whole episode. For reasons that tie into my shipperdom with this series, in an odd way. See: I like both ideas for shipping but I lean towards Fuu/Jin... but I also have this feeling that shipping is a fun distraction only, because that's not what this series is about at all. Usually, I'd take a scene like this one with Fuu and Mugen and incorporate it into my little shippy worldview of the characters.

But I don't get that feeling from this. Regardless of which one she has more of a crush on, I think she would have thrown herself in front of a sword for either of them, and it wouldn't have been romantic at all. It's just cause Fuu loves them both. Maybe or maybe not both platonically or romantically, but when someone's life is in danger love is love and Fuu's the kind of wonderful person that reacts this way for people she loves. So I'm squeeing "She threw herself in front of a sword for him!" because I love what it means for the whole picture, not just for Fuu and Mugen. For Fuu and Jin, too. And Mugen and Jin.

This is where they are: Jin willingly drawing the assassin away to protect Mugen and Fuu. Mugen hunting down Jin then avenging him. Fuu throwing herself in front of a sword for Mugen.

I'm sort of an OT3 fan yet not an OT3 fan, if that makes sense. I'm... a platonic/familial OT3 fan. I don't think they all should or would be sleeping together... but they make great companions.
