What an awesome book series, right? I was reading it at the same time as a fandom friend, and she ended up being disappointed in it, but I don't know how. D:

I need to catch up on Maria+Holic. And I read Soul Eater for Kid because he is incredibly super awesome.

Another yuri fan yaayayayayayyay! I'm the type of person who genderbends to produce yuri if necessary. |D;

So hi.

Oh man it really is. I didn't even know about it until summer of last year and all I heard was GREEK MYTHOLOGY and I had to read it. AAAAAAH MOVIE IN TWO WEEKS DO WANT SO BAD.

How far are you in Maria+Holic? It's a pretty epic series. And yes Kid is amazing. Chrona is my favorite though. Adorable wooooobie.

I seriously give any show with yuri a chance. Except Simoun. I have no idea but I can NEVER get the motivation to watch Simoun.

C-Can we be friends *A*?

I actually had to read it because one of my favorite ficwriters was in the fandom hardcore and I wanted to understand what she was writing about. Not disappointed! It's reminding me how obsessed I was with Greek mythology when I was like. 10. I am terribly excited for the movie too!

Uhhhh I was actually caught up at some point but I don't think I've looked at it in six months. I was honestly disappointed when that one person turned out to be crossdressing? Because that meant it wasn't yuri.

Chrona~♥ I think she's a girl. Thoughts?

I've never seen Simoun, but I think I know what you mean. Is it that one with the giant roots? Usually I stalk [livejournal.com profile] daily_yuri for my fix. Oh, and rec no one has ever heard of: Otoboku~maidens are falling for me~ is set in a girls' school and though the main character is crossdressing there is a lot of yuri subtext with the other girls. o/

Totally~~~~

Have you heard he's making another Camp Half-Blood series in... fall I think it was? AND a book with Egyptian Mythology that's coming out in May? I swear to god that man is hitting the buttons of every mythology geek out there.

If it helps, Mariya has a twin sister named Shizu who also crossdresses. Except she hates men for very much the same reason Kanako does. It's hilarious.

Same here. |Db And I ship her and Maka with the intensity of a thousand suns.

... Yeah one of them. I guess my lack of motivation is because mecha anime aren't really my thing(...even though I've watched KannaMiko several times), but it's still weird.

eeee yay.

[personal profile] pleonasm 2010-01-30 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
As soon as I finished The Last Olympian I went online and looked that stuff up. SO THRILLED~~ After Greek mythology I was into Egyptian mythology so much, he is definitely hitting my buttons. I want more Percy, though, and I bet he won't be the main character of the new Half-Blood series. I mean, it makes sense that he won't be, but I love the way he narrates.

Oooooooh~ now a crossdressing woman, I can get behind that. I'll have to go back and reread and get ito it.

OMG YAY I ship them too (obviously from that icon haha). I cannot wait until Chrona and Maka meet again, I think Maka will fix her. ♥

I don't like mecha anime either... I never even watched Gundam Wing. I don't actually watch a lot of anime; most recent was Nyan Koi. Which has definite yuri subtext in it btw, see this icon. |D I read more manga than I watch anime.

I could see him at least making some big cameos in the series, if Riordan decides to focus on a new group of campers. It'd be a pity to just throw away such awesome characters.

Curse my inability to find where I got the raws of later chapters. Here, have an icon of her. (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/94357518/23440839) The scanlated manga only goes up to a little after you first meet her, but it's licensed by Tokyopop here, so they should be getting into the stuff the scanlators haven't gotten to within the next volume or two.

IT'S SO HARD TO FIND OTHER PEOPLE WHO SHIP IT. And of course she will. I mean, she did it once before. And then she can go totally batshit insane at Medusa like she did in the anime, hoho.

Yeah, I usually do that first, unless I can't find the manga of whatever I want to check out, or if it's too long or something like that.

[personal profile] pleonasm 2010-01-30 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
It would be kind of neat to get a female main character this time, too; well, as long as Riordan can write a good female voice. I liked Annabeth but that doesn't mean I'd like her narration.

Duuuuude she's hot. Okay I'm going to have to read it again seriously.

The Maka/Chrona comm is so dead. ;; It makes me sad. I can find fanart occasionally but NEVER ENOUGH. Oho that would be awesome! I haven't seen the anime but A+ idea.

Yeah. I have trouble getting into long series if I don't start when the series is short. My roommate is trying to get me to rewatch Yu Yu Hakusho and all I can say is, "There's more than 100 episodes! D:!"

[identity profile] kiyuu.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I liked all his female characters. I have faith in him if that's what he decides to do.

Yes. Yes she is.

Ugh I know. D: Maybe once the dub/english manga gets past their rematch or Maka snaps Chrona out of it in the current manga, it'll breathe a little life into the fans again. Oh god you HAVE to watch the anime. They seriously heap on the subtext between those two.

... A-At least it's not like Bleach or Naruto, which is like. 300+ episodes each now? I don't even know anymore.

[personal profile] pleonasm 2010-01-30 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I do too! Do you read other young adult books or is PJO your exception?

Oh, I hope so! I'm used to having obscure ships but geez. Ooooh~ I heard the anime got really weird at the end, though?

Yeeeeeah. One of the reasons I hardly ever read/watch shounen. It just goes on and on and on and on...

[identity profile] kiyuu.livejournal.com 2010-01-30 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I do! I like the Inkworld and Moving Castle series(except I really need to reread the second and third books in the first one, orz), and Harry Potter, of course.

Yeah, it does, but I like it a lot, for an anime-original ending. Studio Bones really knows how to pull those off well.

Ugh, seriously. Especially when there's like. Fifteen chapters dedicated to ONE fight. Lookin' at YOU, Bleach.

[personal profile] pleonasm 2010-01-31 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
My sister was really big into Inkworld! I took her to see the movie but I've never read the books. Howl is awesome, though again I'm not incredibly familiar. I'm more big on DWJ's other series, the Chrestomanci Chronicles. And HP well of course. XD

I think I've seen like. four episodes. Maybe I'll pick up the rest.

Oh yeah. I liked the beginning of Bleach but as soon as we got into fight after fight, I dropped it.

I've never seen Simoun, but I think I know what you mean. Is it that one with the giant roots?

Oh my GOD, you would love it. It's amazing.
