Okay, so my prediction was off - I'm not exactly going to complain.

Yeah. My Hikaru no Go DVDs arrived yesterday. Excellent!

They have nice cover art, and the quality is actually pretty good for DVD-R. The subtitles are great, of course - they're fansubs rather than wackysubs.

I know, I know. Pirated material. I wanted Hikaru no Go, darn it all! It's not like I can buy the official release, since it's not even out yet. And I couldn't afford it.

Ehehe...

Um... other than that, no news from yesterday at all. How did I spend my day? Wathing Hikaru no Go. And then working. With some chatting on the 'net in between.

RahXephon will have to wait, I'm afraid. I'll get it watched before it's due back, though. It's a great series, but it is no Hikaru no Go.

Oh, also! Before I forget again... I finally made that little Hikaru no Go clone page I threatened to do a while back. A couple of the 'clones' are a stretch, but that's okay because it's all in good fun. If nothing else, check it out for 'The Four Stages of Touya Akira'. Because we all *know* those guys are clones.

Copy and paste this one (it won't work if you just click on it, because geocities doesn't do remote linking): http://www.geocities.com/aphrael999/Fun/Clones.html

Yeah, there's a few Digimon ones on there. I couldn't help myself - it was *there*, darn it all!

Those are great - especially the Four Stages. I love anime.

*snaps fingers*

Speaking of Go! I'm terrible at remembering to review - I finally caugh up on all your stories the other day. The newest DaiKen was really cool - I liked how they got together in the middle of the story but didn't actually work things out 'til the end. I never get tired of that pairing, especially the way you write it. Aaaan I adored your Go fic - I don't think I've ever read the fandom before. If you keep writing it I'm going to get as addicted to that as I am to you to your digi fics.

So, sorry to be a slacker reviewer. Your stories rock my world.

Heh, you make a strong case. I already spend so much on manga, what's a bit more? Hee. I'll add it to the list.

For Hikaru, not quite as clonish, but Ed from Full Metal Alchemist. IF you just ignore that Ed has only blonde hair and a braid, it works out rather well. I'll have to make a screencap of it or show you the icon that really shows it.

He's rather spastic like Hikaru, looks really, really similar. Dude...I really need to go find that icon so you can see.

*grin*

What about Xellos from slayers? Attitude isn't the same, but that hairstyle...*purrs* I love the hairstyle...

I'll have to check the "clones" page out when I'm home (I'm at work, and given that it's Thursday, I'm going to be at work a loooong time. >.<) So glad to hear you got your DVDs! You'll be watching the series for hours, definitely.

If you need the hair to match, Nuriko from Fushigi Yugi for Sai. If that's not as important, I think Hotohori is a dead ringer for Sai.
