sanity is a figment of the imagination

Watched this right before classes start after I FINALLY finished downloading this. XP Am glad that I watched in the long run. XP

( Cut for Spoilers? Now with Pictures that are largely focused on Ryo because he was a large part of the reason I liked this series (even before the JE obsession.) )

While it's going on.... I'm ever so glad that my sister bought this tv for our room. ^_^ So easier to do a running commentary. Nothing really cohesive. Just me freaking out.

( Running comments of Heroes 1x15 )

( Straight into recap. )

( Preview! Pictures! And nothing else. )

On a random note entirely, was watching this interview with Makino, Tsukasa and Shigeru (the actors) and it was HILARIOUS to find out some things. Such as Mao and Natsuki (Shigeru) have the same eye sight, aka really bad, and Mao has to wear contacts for it. Natsuki, however, doesn't wear glasses OR contacts so everything's always blurry (LOL. There's this funny thing where Matsujun's like EH?! Does that mean you don't need to see the other person's expressions when acting?). Anyway, she DOESN'T wear glasses/contacts because she's afraid of heights and finds herself tall so... LOL. You get where this is going. Just too
good.

Now that THIS episode is finally out, hopefully I can get the next one out soon as well.

I have two things to say before I start the recap.
1) Oh, Tsukasa, I have missed you! I'm so glad you're back... You ARE back, right? Please tell me you are.
2) Sorry this is late. I didn't MEAN to be late... But a combination of lazy/exhaustion/school got in the way. Also? 5 less pictures or so less than usual... That means a whole lot more talking. XP So... enjoy the rambling.

( The recap! No babbling before this. )

( Continuation )

( Preview and My Summary. )

With THAT done, I want to post a poll in the next post about whw might be behind Makino's door. Hopefully, it'll work. I've never tried making a poll before. Heh. Hope everyone enjoyed! ^_^

Well then, no rambling here. Except maybe to show this pretty picture of Matsujun that I found on someone else's page recently.

( Matsujun. In handcuffs. And a trenchcoat. (And no idea if anything else.) You KNOW you wanna look. )

Otherwise, I think heading STRAIGHT into the recap would be a good idea here.

( Pictures. Rambling. In other words, the usual. )

Once again, this got so lengthy that I had to split it. Ugh. I NEED to stop rambling! @.@

Blah. Just start reading, I guess.

( Split, but not of my own free will. )

( Preview. Pictures and my ... Summary of it. )

No analysis for this episode, because I'm too lazy. ^_^ However, I saw this video in which Rui/Yuki are a part of it... And dude, I wanted to share. Here's a picture.
( A Picture from a Video that stars Rui/Yuki. Okay, not their characters, but their actors. )
Hee! So Oguri Shun looks NOTHING like Hanazawa Rui there. But still. Wouldn't it be so amusing if someone wrote a Rui/Yuki fic. XP Dude, is that even believable? *shrugs* Whatever.

Hope everyone enjoyed! ^_^ Same place... Likely not the same time, but close enough. Next week.

Wheeee... Am so glad this wasn't as ANGSTY as the last episode. (Not saying that this didn't have its fill of angst.) But yeah, I really loved this episode and looking forward to the next episode. Anyway, here's the recap for this episode!

After Writing: I apparently wrote too much. I NEED to stop babbling, I think. And again, I always had way too many pictures. @.@ Hopefully next recap won't be as wordy/lengthy/picture-y?

( Start of the recap! Lots of pictures again. More and MORE words. )

Because LIVEJOURNAL tells me that my post is too long. Well, XP to you too!

I think I want to recap other shows too, other than Hana Yori Dango 2, that is... I don't know what though. Not any of my American shows, because 1) they go on for a while, 2) I'm fairly certain that other people would recap those better. (Although I bet I could be persuaded... XP)

Anyway, on other news, watching the Hana Yori Dango New York Special. IT'S HILARIOUS! I so love it. And I think I've finally figured out why Soujirou is suddenly so hot to me. HE GREW OUT HIS HAIR! Last season, his hair was much too short and I totally didn't like it then. Now it looks really nice how it looks.

(P.S. With all the clips they're showing of HYD1, I think I might just recap that series and rewatch it again.)

First of all, I REALLY need to get with the program. I never seem to know when my shows are coming back from hiatus. I almost missed a new episode of NCIS. I need some sort of list that has the dates of every new episode, because without that, I'd miss EVERYTHING. (Such as Bones, House, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, CSI, ... Others.) Anyway, hopefully my luck'll keep going because I always seem to find out a couple of hours before the show starts when it's going to be new. So yay to good luck.

Also, watched the first episode of Hana Kimi. I'm always a little iffy about TWdramas... Mainly because I get confused by the changing of names. LOL. And the fact of the matter is, my first introduction to TWdramas was their Peach Girl one... And Totally didn't like it. (But they came back with their Mars drama which I watched SO long ago and totally want to rewatch.) Anyway, as for Hana Kimi? I cannot begin to say how much fun it was. I kept CRACKING up sometimes with that... But I will not go on. Because, it's only been the first episode and this is meant for another show entirely.

Enough rambling. Let's get into the recap which will likely be long and filled with pictures. ^_^ (Also, I rely heavily on the translations, so if I write something wrong that was spoken, I apologize.)

After writing: The beginning has a lot more text than the end. The ending... has a whole lot of pictures. Sorry about that. Couldn't help myself. I knew that was going to happen, so that's why the beginning has a lot less pictures.

( Lots of pictures and even more words. Definitely not dial-up friendly. )

( Preview for next episode. LOTS OF PICTURES. Apparently they showed a lot this preview. )

( Opinion on Shigeru. Tsukasa's actions. Speculation for next episode. (Bound to have spoilers for the manga.) )

Yay for this! Took a LONG while to write... I can't wait until the next episode. Also, this episode makes me SO want to make icons for it... I haven't made icons in YEARS?! What is this show doing to me?!
