If only coming up with story titles was as easy as titling LJ posts. Lack of a title always makes multi-chapters go slower for me. But that's another matter...

Haven't recc'd in a while, so let's see if I can't make up for that, and at the same time maybe show how diverse my tastes have become!

First up, Robot Chicken mocks Final Fantasy VII. If you think Sephy is scary now, just imagine him with the ability to make you work overtime.

Click here to see Cloud battle the lunch-hour rush.

In Death Note, L tells a funny story about an experience he's had on an elevator. Not a sexy one, sadly, but so worth watching.



For Kyo Kara Maou (CRACK), a fan-made music video that's pretty well done, and the choice of song so fits the darling little protagonist.



And finally...lately I've been watching one of the recs made to me, Mirage of Blaze. I'm of the opinion that one needs a degree in Japanese history to really understand it, but I like it. Why, you ask? Genesis suggested I explain with the video clip below.



Those two just break my heart. They obviously love each other, and yet all they can manage to do is hurt one another.

More fandoms means more to rec. Let's hope I don't wait so long till next time, then!

It seems we're watching the same series :P I saw MoB the other day and was hooked!!

And I love the Kyou Kara Maou one. The song really IS fitting.

Any luck with the KKM portal???

Heh, nope. Sephy is worried GenGen will misbehave toward some of the characters, or possibly all of them, so he's still got it sealed up tight.

Ooh.. Shiny KKM music video. If I could find the series somewhere on the web for free, I'd watch it again... I love that show.

I've never seen Mirage of Blaze, but after watching that clip I've come to the conclusion that a) the subtitles were not really thinking about their non-Japanese viewers and b) it's just confusing. No amount of Japanese understanding would help you get that.

:) You can find KKM (I'm pretty sure all of it), but alas, it takes a lot of searching. You really have to search for one episode at a time. That's why I love Netflix - they have at least the first two seasons.

Yeah. I watched it for the first time through netflix, but now that I'm broke and independent, I have no money to afford netflix. Guess I'll have to go web digging. Oh dear, that's a scary prospect. :D

Thanks!

You know Gen, if you can't open the KKM portal from your side, maybe you can get them to open it from their side. With a little ingenuity and access to Radio Shack, I'm sure you can come up with a transmitter. Or a solar-powered vibrator, whichever.

Genesis: "I wouldn't get much use out of the vibrator. Seph is even less cooperative during the day, and I don't think I could lure my spiky-haired pet into using such a device. It's fun to think about, though." *dreamy smile*

Sephy: "The portal stays closed. The last thing we need is Amarissia stealing characters and getting us into a fandom war."

Meanie.

*snickers* I liked the FFVII parody. It was quite interesting seeing Cloud in clay and in an apron.

Vincent: I'm glad I'm not in it.

Yazu: We're glad we aren't either.

Reno: *is tied to a heavy chair* Yo, people, I need to pee.

Yazu: Don't mind him. I let him out five minutes ago to use the potted plant.

Vincent: *is quite disturbed by this* Where are the other clones?

Yazu: They are hanging out with the Bleach crew.

><# You're getting off topic! Anyways, I've never seen Mirage of Blaze though now I'm quite interested in it. XDDD I yoink from the Bleach fandom constantly. They're used to it. *points to Toushiro*

Toushiro: No comments.

I suppose I shouldn't ask why Reno is tied to a chair.

Sephy: "For a Turk, he's surprisingly easy to restrain. And fun." *smirks*

Hmm, perhaps your clones are taking after you, Sephy. I hope Chibi gets it on video. :)

Vincent: Some things are better left unexplained.

Yazu: I agree. *is now molesting Reno*

Reno: Someone get me out of here!

Perhaps, they are though I'm not sure about Loz. He's an iffy. I think he's moved from the Bleach area to color with Cloud. ._.

I love Robot Chicken, but hadn't seen that clip. Thanks for sharing. :D
