new icon! and trigun stuff.

[timepiececlock]

I got all nostalgic and watched some of the last DVD of Trigun over lunch.

My favorite episode of Trigun is most definitely "Sin". Episode no. 24. I loved Legato's entire death scene, and how Cahs ended up shooting *execution* style, not like running or or in a fight or anything... shot point-blank through the forehead while on his knees. It was a very dramatic scene. Later I plan on going on in great detail on my opinons about the end of the series, and the philosphical themes and character dynamics and stuff. Cause I'm bored and I love that show.

Also, new icon! I was flipping through screen caps and this shot was just too good not to mock. Too bad it can't be bigger. ^-^

Paradise holds a special place in my heart too (the whole last DVD does), because Wolfwood was my favorite character from Trigun. As to the Fifth Moon episode-- it was after Vash exploded the city. The japanese/samurai gung ho gun guy woke you in teh rubble, and talked for a few lines with Wolfwood, who was there sitting on his motorcycle. And then Wolfwood shot him. Very coolly, very calm. I'd already suspected from the start that something was up with Wolfwood's intentions, but that confirmed he wasn't just there for nothing. I didn't he'd be a Gung ho Gun specifically though, until they annouced in 23.

What broke my heart about the Wolfwood killing Zazie (Alternative kid), was the look that Milly gave him. That scene was wonderfully done, I thought, as was the relationship between W/Milly. There wasn't a lot of overt romance in the series, but when they came together in Paradise is wasn't surprising, just quietly appropriate. And I felt so horrible in the end when you could hear Milly screaming and crying. And the way Vash and Meryl looked as they listened...

:siiiiiigh: I'm a vash/meryl fan mostly though. I love them together, though there's not a lot of fic out there on the net for that ship, and I think I've read almost every one on ff.net.

Oh yeah. The samurai. I remember that ep now (sorry but I've only seen the eps once). Yeah, that was cool when Wolfwood offs him. I did see that one coming just based on Wolfwood's facial expression while the samurai's talking.

I'm okay with the Meryl/Vash ship but I did not see the Millie/Wolfwood ship coming. They were friendly and then, bam, she's spending the night in his room. Wha?

I thought it was led up to well-- they flirted a lot, and some episodes like Alternative definitely hinted at more. But you've only watched it once, whereas I had a chance to watch each episode more than one, as I got it, since there was considerable time between each new DVD/video I acquired.

Yeah, you're probably right. But I'm the type of guy that can't wait for installments. I'd rather get it all in one big gulp. Which is why Inuyasha is killing me because they're still making eps in Japan. I won't buy that collection until all the discs have been collected. Luckily for me, I don't mind importing since I'm a sub fan more than a dub fan (Cowboy Bebop being the exception of course :) )

Re:

well, you CAN download episodes of Inuyasha. I've seen up to epsiode 58, I think. Most of that in subbed on my computer. Eventually I stopped though (even though you can downaload up to 80+ epsiodes by now), becasue I got tired of knowing it, and wanted to enjoy the manga again via surprises.

Yeah, but last time I downloaded a series, I ended up getting a new hard drive because my drive crapped out. I'll wait for it to finish before I collect.
