Man, what?!

Right, so I'm finally, after all these thousands of years, watching the third season of Rurouni Kenshin. It is as bad as everyone has said it would be. Kenshin has turned into this boring, badly animated generic character, (yeah, even the animation is bad in these!) Kaoru does nothing but stand around, and the other characters are just about unrecognizable. I just finished the arc with the kid Yutaro, some doctor, a ridiculous, unexplained elixir in an Indiana Jones cave, some douchebags who are supposed to be German, a guy with a kind of prosthetic ear, and a bunch of ninjas or something and I don't care about any of these people.

In the first season I was always eager to get the filler episodes out of the way and get to the real juicy stuff, but in this season the filler episodes are the only ones worth watching.

Then it comes to episode 89 and, dude, what? I mean, it was sort of funny in some places, but honestly, did Kenshin and Aoshi just turn gay, because aside from all the obviously air-quoted "doing things" they alluded to, they were, like, having a tea ceremony and staring meaningfully and massaging each other, for real. Which, hey, HoYay and all of that, but I mean dude.

Meanwhile, Megumi tries to teach Misao how to massage herself in the bathtub in order to have bigger boobs. Then the girls beat up a bunch of pickpockets while Sanosuke and Yahiko behave pointlessly.

I realize they'll never animate the real ending of the books, but shoot, it's a nice thought, isn't it?

In other fandom news, I ordered Dissidia Final Fantasy. I've had it in the back of my head for a long time, but I've also had this weird, admittedly stupid and pointless neurotic hang up about playing PSP, because I was playing a game on PSP before Gran died, then I put it down for a while, and then was playing it again right before Dad died. So, that's weird of me I know. And then today I was reading something about Dissidia and I thought, well, I should play it. Cloud's in it.

So, completely unrelated to any of that:









So, yeah. :)
