Okay, for one thing, THIS.

IF YOU DO NOT KNOW, THEN THIS IS THE ANIMATED (AND I QUOTE), "tale of a leopard-man's quest to impregnate a male cat-boy."

I AM NOT FUCKING AROUND, YOU GUYS.

BUT. THE BEST PART? IS THE COMMENT SOMEONE LEFT ON THE JOURNAL WHERE I FOUND THIS:

"Oh, I didn't know the Sentinel fandom was now in anime form."

OH MI GOD, THIS.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS.
ESPECIALLY WHAT WITH THE YOUTUBE PROMO AN' ALL.

On top of discovering that season 2 of Merlin has started airing, I don't even know how to go about the rest of my day. LOLOLOL WHAT IS MY LIFE?!

THEY ARE MAKING AN OVA OF AI NO KUSABI. THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY FUCKING INTERESTS.


... OH FUCK, NOW I'M GONNA START WATCHING ANIME, AGAIN.

I used to be an anime buff. And I mean, really. I still kind of am, but I've defiantly outgrown the magic-girl romantic graphic novels that are so popular right now. My personal favorites are still Yu Yu Hakusho, Outlaw Star, and Magic Knight Rayearth.

God, that seems like such a long time ago...

Anywho. I've been browsing around with idle curiosity, as I tend to, on Wikipedia. You do it too, don't lie.
But then I came across the ancient Chinese story, Journey to the West. And it looks pretty interesting. I enjoy Buddhist principles and the intricacies of Chinese folklore, and epic travel novels? I'm in.

So imagine my excitement when I discover that the anime series Saiyuki is based off of the Journey to the West storyline.

I knew about this series, peripherally, but never got into it. That's generally how it goes. If you, personally, have not seen the series, you always know about it. There tend to be no surprises in the anime world. So imagine my reaction to this discovery, when I'd never heard about this tie-in between classic Chinese folklore and Japanese comics, before.

Okay, yeah, Japan and China are not bff in any way, but like I said. Anime geeks always know whats going on. When Advent Children leaked? We knew it about three minutes later, no joke. It was wild.

But anyway. The point of this post is that I may now be venturing back into the anime/manga world, if only to check out this Saiyuki madness. And maybe Getbackers.


ARGH.


Guys, don't ever get into anime. It'll never let you go.


EDIT: Upon eBaying around, I come to realize that I had no chance at turning out normal.

That was just the first page.
