RAWR!

(Meet my jolly cousin who lives back in Bishounen County Shin Makoku. (S)he’s actually a “sand bear”, btw)

Since I doubt anyone (besides maybe, biankita, whom this post is dedicated to because she’s the only one I can think of/imagine who’s blogging the current season of Kyou Kara Maou consistently) is going to read this post, I’ll just go on an off-topic here. You may or may not notice (wait, who am I talking to here?) that I’ve replaced my old categories on the sidebar with the tag cloud now (no prize for guessing which tag is the largest before taking a look at it :P ). Fail reason behind that is that I used Wordpress’s ‘useful’ function of turning categories into tags a shot, only to realize what a few others already have – you lose those categories in the process (Uh, a warning would’ve been helpful… -_-”). And since I’m an ignorant technophobe who failed at doing whatever it was to the taxonomy (whatever that is) that the solution suggests, (where are you Randall when I need you???? Oh, there you are. And for the record, I hope the current do-ra-ma either gets settled or gets left behind for everyone’s sake :( ) I’m just going to revamp my category’s one by one like I was meaning to do anyways. For now, just deal with the fact I have an cluttered tag cloud there :P

*end of Wordpress may just be too new-fangled for me rant*

I’ll save all the details of how I actually got this far into a show most of you won’t ever want to watch because it “looks like gay shit” or whatever for some other post (Am I starting to sound moody? I just crapped up a awfully ‘researched’ incoherent ‘presentation’ in Japanese Culture class on why I supposedly want to go to Hokkaido University -_-”)

And since you’re either already following this series far ahead of me, or you wouldn’t touch this show with a 11-foot pole, I’ll just go directly to the random thoughts:

I hate Shori. Yea he’s a brocon *yawns*, not funny. (Okay, he plays ero-games, but his “friend-of-my-brother” line got old so quick)

I hate Wolfram even more. In fact I detest his character completely, bloody whiny tsundere thing voiced by Saiga Mitsuki (give me trap Kei any day) that should die if it wasn’t for legions of YuriXWolfram shippers out there. Just wanted to mention that I found it ironic that pretty boy’s unit over here seemed to be comprised completely of women who aren’t even half as pretty as he is… Then they opened their mouths and I realize they were guys OTL

Wait, here’s a character I actually like – Yuuri’s mom. Yes she’s completely one-dimensional (as are most of the female cast of this show. They either get 0 or 1/2 an episode of development throughout the entire first 2 season. Compare this to the guys who each either get at least 3 or -3. The rest are just fillers as you’ve probably guessed), but I think she kicked ass with her broom back in season 1, and she’s so like Irie’s mom on Itazura (they both crossdressed their kids when they were young. Unfortunately ‘Jenniffer‘ here, as she likes to call herself is supporting the WRONG coupling in this show *urgh*).

Speaking of one-dimensional female charadcters…

For a brief moment, I seriously thought Yuuri was going to have less than innocent thoughts about his daughter (adopted) when she grows up… Then both me and the creators realized “wrong genre” and flipped him back to overprotective dad mode.

I’ve always found Gunter a somewhat tiring and tiresome character when he’s in his “Your Highness Yuuri rabu rabu mode“… I wonder if I’ll eventually feel the same about the way Miyagi acts around Hiroki in Junjou, same seiyuu and all.

Who the eff is Effee??

(Okay, I know they introduced her in the R OVAs, but I couldn’t resist typing that :P )

And finally, perhaps the only reason I’m still watching all this seemingly pointless and endless Kyou Kara Maou – Conrad Weller. If I were in the mood right now (and if this was like when I started watching the series AGES ago), I might go into fangirl mode about Conrad right now, but I’m not, so I’ll just say that for every *yawn* and *urgh* character this show throws at us, there’ll always be the least bishie looking member of Yuuri’s crew standing firm as a pillar of sense in this show. (Okay, there’s also Gwendal, but I only like him when he’s sewing weird plushies or baking yummy cookies) Okay this paragraph has made me realize I have no actual coherent way of expressing: “If Conrad was real, he’d make the perfect freakin husband imho“, so I’ll just leave it at that.

Don’t worry biankita, it doesn’t mean I think the show is crap (yet – I’m still at the “Hey, I’ve watched 78 TV episodes and 5 OVAs, why stop NOW” stage), so I’ll probably continue watching this now that I’ve ‘conveniently forgotten’ to follow S.A. (i.e., dropped it like it’s hot)
