Emma volume 4

OMWTF?! engaged proposal oh my god he's on his knees no stop it STOP IT NOW! WILLIAM JONES, DON'T YOU DARE!

::continues to read, heartbroken::


...


What a great reunion scene!

I officially love William's mother. She rocks. It's no wonder she doesn't live with that stuffy husband of hers.

...WHAT? NO! DON'T END THERE! I NEED VOLUME FIVE!

::is totally not definitely not trying 6 torrents to possibly get more chapters::

Emma

Watched episodes 8 - 10. I was spoiled for the big event of episode 8, but it still hurt. Episode 9 was very good, but to be honest I don't remember what happened in it because the three episodes have molded together as one in my mind. The events all blur.

But episode 10! That was... wow. Just wow. The characters are so subtle and controlled and Victorian that when there's an emotional outburst... it's like Christmas morning or something for the audience. Instant squeals of of squee and OMG!OMG!s, along with happy/frantic wringing of hands and talking to the monitor.

Go William! Go! You can do it! Be strong! Go!!!

I need, like, fanfic.

Lost

There's something seriously messed up about the fact that I squeed more over this promo ad than I did the entire first season of Lost. They should have the PR people who designed this ad write the show. It would be such an improvement!

But then again I think almost everything can be improved by being just a little more arty.

Also? I want to lick Jin's jawline in that one screencap.

Pirate!Sawyer! Pirate!Sawyer!

::in the middle of episode 2 of Victorian Romance Emma::

This anime is very liesurely paced, and no one's died yet, and no one's able to magically change their appearance or turn iron into gold, and no one carries a sword, and no one's so much as yelled at each other yet....there hasn't even been a fist fight. Much less blood & guts, action, political intrigue, or people turning into ducks.

You know why I like this anime?

I don't know either. But I do. In fact, I kinda sorta love it.

I'm going to need to find episodes 4 and on soon...


EDIT: it could be the fact that two months ago I actually got to go ballroom dancing in costume (I used my senior prom dress) with other people in costume and a live band. In an old theater with a large, old-style ballroom.

And it's weird but, if you get a bunch of guys who've all been taught to ballroom dance and put them in tuxes and put them in a room with a live band, you do get asked to dance no matter what you look like, and it is fun. It's really, really fun. And swirly. And pretty.

Note: Fast polka waltzing with someone who knows what they're doing? FUNNEST. THING. EVER. ...YOU TWIRL. A LOT.
