Gay Backers

Oh, wow. I can't find a clip of it on YouTube, but if that final shot of Ban and Ginji in the last episode of Get Backers wasn't the most subtextual thing I've seen in the series... *laughs*
Okay, here we go. As soon as it loads, skip to 21:53, esp. 22:00:

See? See?!
Almost caught up for tomorrow.

P.S. Okay, in reality I have trouble thinking Ban and Ginji are actually a couple, what with all the peeping they tried to do in the onsen episode. But damn if that wasn't thrown in as an afterthought.

Bleach squee?

For someone who's seen only 37 episodes of Bleach and the first movie, this song has me unreasonably excited to see the third movie.
Also, it totally kicks Melissa's ass.
I do think they used a slightly different version in the trailer, though. The singer's voice sounds kind of metallic in the single, and I don't remember that from the trailer... But I might just have a memory.
I'm also excited that the PAPERMOON single came out. It's not an amazing song, but I do think it's one of the better Soul Eater themes, and I'll admit that associating a song with a series I've spent a lot of time watching and enjoying tends to kick up my enjoyment of the song itself.
Alright, caught up on MAS shows (god I love Princess Tutu...) and I've done some Henry V reading, so I think it's time to bed, seeing as I have to catch the bus at 7:58 and all.

[EDIT: Okay, so, I ended up not going to bed right away and watched episode 9 of Pari-hen instead, and as always, there's some excellent Nodame/Chiaki cuteness with their poses and demeanor during the bedtime story. They just look so comfortable with each other. *smiles widely*
They have such a strange relationship, though... It's really hard to tell sometimes whether they're actually boyfriend and girlfriend or not. And does Chiaki actually like Nodame, or what? Sometimes it's hard to tell...]
