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?

Re: and one more thought

[octopedingenue]

I don't think I joked about Mugen and Spike being the same, unless I was talking about their superficial similarities. I could be wrong, though; I don't really remember, and I might've originally thought they were more alike than I've come to believe.

Episode 14 is the second half of the two-parter about Mugen's past growing up on the convict island and then as a pirate (and starts out with his gorgeous drowning/flashback sequence). He has the chance to kill Kohza at the end of the episode for betraying him, and instead just walks past her (as she begs him to kill her), managing to be both merciful and to leave her to a fate he knows is worse than death for her: being alone.


I think Jin is more likely to die than Mugen, now. It will still break my heart if he does. I think Mugen's job is to keep living, for the sake of others if not for his own--now that he's actually living, and not just surviving.


Forget the essay, girl! You need to be writing us some fanfiction! And not just my smutty request-- I'd love some SC angst from you.

I actually decided that the perfect scenario for your smut ficlet was in this episode, with injured Mugen and Fuu together, Fuu saying, "If you went away too, I--" and Mugen admitting "I might really die this time." They're together, alone, emotionally vulnerable, and have just basically admitted that they love each other (in whatever way you interpret that)--aaand the episode cuts away and doesn't come back. You could totally fit a missing scene first-time sleeping-together story. I don't wanna do it though, 'cause A)this ep is still making me hurt, B)I don't write smut anyway, and C)the thought of Mugen having sex with that giant slash across his lower torso is making me go oww, oww, OWW, oww.



I have no real idea of how Champloo is going to end, and that is...really pleasantly surprising to me. It's going to be a different kind of unforeseen ending than FMA (I doubt Mugen will go to another dimension, for one thing...), but maybe just as compelling.
