ugh ugh ugh

Oh god. I just saw the trailer for Dragonball: Evolution as I'd heard it was coming out this week, and was traumatized. It is so so so wrong, so much worse than I'd expected. Why did they have to take such a classic story and turn it into any other action movie with all its cliches? That was the impression I got from the trailer...I can't imagine this being a case of the misleading (and bad) trailer (a la Bridge to Terabithia). The worst part? I knew that Goku was going to be Caucasian, but seeing, and hearing, him in action...Was so painful.

On a happier subject, I'm kind of curious about the FMA remake. I really enjoyed the original anime series and will miss Roy's voice actor (it's Roy that's different, right?), but I'm curious. I hear there are many groups subbing it--it'll be interesting trying to figure out which group's sub to download. Any recs?

Ten years of love and agony?

I have to laugh at the enthusiasm of fangirls. During my daily (futile) round of Japanese fanfic sites for updates on my favorite WIPs, I checked out their blogs as well today. There was much fangirl squeeing over the 10th Chronicle Minibook that apparently came with this week's JUMP. The front and back covers show Naruto and Sasuke in profile, which in rosy fangirl vision looks like they are 5 seconds from kissing. *giggles* I especially delighted in the truly bouncy blog post at Everyday I Miss You in which she imagines a conversation between the two:

Naruto: Let me kiss you, or else I'll jump you!
Sasuke: Humph, as if you'd have the guts...

And then she sums up the contents of the minibook by claiming it covers 10 years of NaruSasu-ness. Actually, she asserts AND assumes agreement with a "OKですよね？"

XDXDXDXD

Now if she'd only update her lovely badfic, I'd be a happy camper...
