langwidereHakuouki was less boring this week, but still: too much history, not enough Toshi. Also, he could be nakeder, and maybe wearing lipstick. Also.
Okita made a pretty adorable zombie, even for him (Yamanami is the worst zombie ever). I am kind of loving the vague implication that an undead Shinsengumi stalks the streets of Kyoto (or maybe Tokyo) even today. Because, as ineffective as they were when they were alive, shit has gone downhill precipitously since they died :[
(Like, the whole siding-with-Nazis-in-WW2 thing? Way embarrassing.)
I have nothing else to say.
Oh no, wait, yes I do! I discovered that In a Grove had twelve extra pages that I didn’t see at first, and in grief and despair I abruptly stopped translating it. Hee! I’ll have it finished by this weekend, though. Because you care so, so much. (HI, MOM!)

It does not even rise to the level of "damsel-in-distress-with-male-harem show." Chizuru isn’t really a damsel. She’s a kind of animated hamster. Also, the Hakuouki version of Hijikata (who was, to be fair, apparently very good-looking in real life) resembles a young Elizabeth Taylor. But bitchier, and with better hair. The other characters somehow manage to look like they’re wearing very bad, $34.99 cosplay wigs. It is amazing. I started watching it to help with the fluidity of my spoken Japanese, but honestly — I do nothing but howl at it. So, kind of a disappointment there.
I have heard that House of Five Leaves is good, and I like Basso’s BL, but I am incapable of watching more than one show at a time. I’ll start downloading it after Hakuouki is over for the season. I think that author also has another anime in production about a girl in Italy trying to decide who, among the large number of older men who adore her for no reason, she will date? Rotflllll. I’ll probably check that out, too.
DON’T GET IN TROUBLE, GURW.
