That purple Astray, part 2
An interruption of the trip entries.
So... the VS Astrays website opened it's
english version,
though I doubt it will actually affect Astray's status this side of the
Pacific, and we'll still be left wanting the other installments.
Still, it is nice to read the website in understandable
english... until I got to the World and Characters sections, that actually made
me go "WTF!!!"
The organization name Librarian, Who don't really want world
domination but rather so whatever stuff strikes their fancy, not only have data
on every single mobile suit created in the CE world, but also have genetic data
on most ace pilots, and create carbon copy humans by inserting DNA and memories
on people. How exactly did they get the technology to do that? Dragon Balls? And
they're happily resurrecting people right and left, for reason only they know.
What is sure is that Rondo Gina Sahaku is pissed of at Gai for
killing him and now wants revenge.
In the meantime, the Mirage Frame in Librarian's possesion IS
the fifth Astray prototype. At least now they're all accounted for.
I love Serpent's Tail profile, though. Specially the line that
reads "However, it's strength lies in the strength of the ties between it's
members."
Speaking of Serpent Tail, it's nearly the end of the year and I
hadn't made Elijah with my current plushie pattern, so I started him. Not with
his green ZAFT uniform, but with his Frame Astrays uniform (which he's
still wearing in VS Astrays).
Regarding plushies, I finally have Lambo's horns in place. I
think I have his hair figured out, so chances are he will be finished this
week. Yay. He looks weird with horns and no afro.
Got calendar notice earlier in the week and picked it up
yesterday. Very pretty. Lots of pretty fictional mafioso art.
Today I also got the fifth (and final) Dragon Ball Z dvd
that was released for this region. Only 52 of the one hundred something
episodes. But it's still something, with plenty of Gohan and Pikoro crack to
keep me entertained. If there's something better than Mukuro's samba, is Gohan
singing, in the actual series, about how much he loves the guy that once tried
to kill his dad and conquer the world. But then again, Stockholm syndrome aside,
with Goku dead for 80% of the series, no wonder Pikoro unknowingly became
Gohan's father figure.
And I got the Belle & Sebastian complete collection at a
nice discount. I've never seen the series, in fact I don't think it was ever
aired in local stations. But I've read nice things about it and it's a good way
to watch some of the stuff I had missed back then. Besides, if people buy them,
then Zima will bring more nice stuff to this region.
I've decided that my next order from DVDPacific will be the
Kenran Butoh Sai boxset. Yagami's awesomeness underwater and his complete
lack of a sense of direction on dry land is amusing. It's one of the those
series that are wonderful but often overlooked.
And Free Fall, the third book in the Tunnels saga
has been released in Argentina, so it's only a matter of time before it's in
local bookstores. Hopefully before the holidays, but who knows.
Meh... I have to wake up earlier than usual.
