And maybe I'm getting sick too T_T

I can has roommate again, yay~ (I am ultimately a social creature; I like having someone around that I can go hay hay hay at, even if we're not actually hanging out. :D) AND THEN, as we agreed, we finished watching Heat Guy J!

I ... really really liked this show, enough that I am willing to look any number of its faults. chirachira compared it to GetBackers -- which is like my dear old looove -- and on the one hand, the two shows aren't really that alike, but on the other? They so are. It's a sort of feeling in the series rather than any particular content -- a sense of people being cheerfully badass and wonky and things just going UP and then DOWN and then BLOWING UP and-- yeah. On the whole, this is definitely a series I would and will rewatch in the future. *g*

miss_arel mentioned she felt like the end plot, with Shun, felt a little rushed -- and I agree, it sort of did, but ... sort of didn't. The wrap-up went kind of overly quick, but somehow, I could forgive it? But I felt that the open ending was better ultimately than a fixed one -- given Daisuke's whole thing about chaos, and action, and moving on, a fixed "this is all that happened and this is the end" would have felt like a poor ending for him. I like that he's going traveling, and I suspect he might be bringing back a whole new harem by the time he comes home, but hey. *g*

I'm still not quite seeing the Kyoko + Daisuke as a romantic pairing, despite how sweet they are with each other (angel and heat guy, haha♥). It feels more like they were acknowleding the potential of the other to become a romantic partner in the future, rather than actually becoming a couple. ... I also still think that Daisuke's gotta be getting laid on a fairly regular basis and suspect he's got no qualms sleeping with guys, so who knows! Maybe I'm biased! \o/

ALSO I LOVE CLAIR. HAVE I MENTIONED LATELY I LOVE CLAIR? 'COS I DO. Everyone says that he grows the most of all the characters (despite Daisuke being the main one) -- and it's TRUE. Daisuke feels like he's already sort of at the pinnacle of his journey; despite the threat/promise he made to J in the first episode, he's extraordinarily mellow and mature about how he handles things, even horrible traumatic events of his past. (See also: how he treated the guy who built the machine that killed his father.) Clair, on the other hand, starts as a broken little boy and grows immensely into a ... still rather broken young man, but one that is brilliant and adaptable and commanding. He's hardly stupid from the get-go, but his is an insanity that he also tightly controls, and you see him come into the full of that by the end, and it is AWESOME♥

Plus, while I'm talking, can I just say how much it amused and pleased me that Boma's actually genuinely psychotic? That the little sister he was so desperately searching for -- a popular trope in the dark broody handsome men stereotype -- was in fact a figment of his imagination? And one based on a subconsciously-remembered comment from his dead boyfriend partner, whom he killed in a huge misunderstanding that was not, in fact, anything but him assuming too much too fast and being an asshole? Ilu Boma♥

I'm STILL sad that there's almost no fic out there for Daisuke and J being awesome buddy cops. I really am. :| Also I'm still a bit horrified that pretty much everything I've written for this series has been porn -- I mean, seriously, wtf. Wtf.

In other news, I should be finishing my imaginarybeasts story (or rather, edit it since it is skeleton-finished), working on springkink or any number of things, but instead Iiiiiii ... am instead refreshing my flist in hopes of something new! and entertaining! to happen on it. :|b

"Boma and Antonia are married and have warped ninja children!" I am strangely open to this.
