Heh... I could've spent last night on something productive... I really could've. And what did I spend it on? Reading translated Orphen manga.

Which, by the way, isn't as good as the anime.

I'm going to read more this morning anyway. Even though Orphen's a loser, Majic's a wuss, and Cleao... actually, manga Cleao is an improvement. She's still a bimbo, though. It's Orphen manga. I gotta read it.

Hehe... anyway, yeah.

I'm working on part two of Dragon of Twilight right now. I think I'll start posting that one if I make it through chapter five and still want to keep going with it. Hopefully I do, though, because right now I love it.

I may also have to download episodes of Hikaru no Go just because the music is so damn good.

Yami no Matsuei!!!!!!

Hehehe... well, I was expecting to get my manga today, so that wasn't really a surprise, but I also got my 'Descendants of Darkness' DVD. Score!

Finally, I get to hear the dubbed voices! And, actually, they weren't bad. I even enjoyed Tsuzuki's, though the guy can't really hope to match his Japanese counterpart. (how can you possibly have a better voice than Youji?) And I *liked* Watari's brittish accent. Hehe. Tatsumi's voice was just good. Even Hisoka's did a good job, though it takes a little getting used to. He sounds about ten years older than he did in the original. The only one I didn't like was Muraki's. Blech. Stereotypical villain, much?

Talking about having to adjust... The Gushoushin???? Whose idea was it to give them DEEP voices? I can't get over that.

I've only watched one episode, but my favorite line so far was from the preview for the second episode, when Tsuzuki suggests that he and Hisoka take a break to get some lunch. Hisoka says "We *just* *ate*" in this perfect frustrated tone. I couldn't help but snicker. The english voice actors really managed to get the characters down.

Anyway, I was impressed. And I am very pleased with the DVD. I think it was well worth purchasing.
