I decided to watch episode one of Weiss Kruez again. I haven't seen that in a while... it brought back such fond memories. Oh boy... I knew I wouldn't be able to watch the beginning scene without laughing. It shouldn't be funny! A truck just fell on the girl's boyfriend right in front of her eyes! But... come on... a *truck* fell on him.
Okay, I have a really bad sense of humor.
The fight scene. I thought I'd summarize. It's just so damn good.
Evil dudes: *take turns jumping over the balcony*
An arrow suddenly THUDS into the chest of one of them.
Omi: *decides not to shoot the others*
Omi: Well, it just wouldn't be fair. There are four evil guys and four crime-fighting assassins. I can't deprive the others of their share.
The last jumper is stopped by wire around his neck, and pulled back off the ground to be slowly strangled.
Youji: Sure, I can forgive the fact that you hunt and kill innocent people, and that you work for the EVIL forces in the word. However, you were threatening a woman, and that's unforgivable.
Meanwhile, a third evil fellow does a fantastic impression of a bat, leaping up to attack the helpless female.
Ken: *throws off his girl costume that somehow concealed his assassin wear* Haha, fooled you! *smirks in a very appealing way and slices the guy to ribbons*
Ken: Well, my work here is done.
No explaination is given for how a tight little skirt and quarter-length sweater concealed his jeans and leather jacket. Not to mention the orange sweater.
Final remaining evil guy: Where did everyone go?
Aya: *stands there with sexy black coat flapping in the wind, waiting to be noticed*
Evil guy: Who are you?
Aya: *dramatic pause* Byce. (ah, fansubbing blunders) White Hunter.
Evil dude attacks Aya with his axe.
Aya: Oh, please.
Aya waits until the last possible minute to draw his sword, and then brings it around once in a show-stopping one-swipe killing move.
Fangirls: *swoon*
The END! Unless you count the happy ending scene in the midst of the lovely flower blossoms around the Koneko no Sume Ie (what a name for a flower shop).
This is what hooked me on the show. The sheer CAMPINESS of Weiss is nearly as good as the wonderful yaoi potential. (come on... four guys who live together, in an apartment behind the flower shop where they all work? And people think they're NOT sleeping together?)
Ken's appearing-disappearing clothing act is almost as good as Omi's vanishing injuries trick. Which he seems to have taught to the rest of them as well.
They must carry portable phone booths to change into their assassin gear SUPER fast. Maybe they keep those in the same space where Aya stores his sword when it is not in use. He seems to get his hands on that thing awfully quickly when he is in need of it.
I love this show. Really I do.
Especially the OVAs... oh yeah... Ken and Aya FIGHT! That is so fricking good! Aya just killed Omi! Ken is not pleased.
And everyone DIES. Gotta love it.
On a completely unrelated note, concerning the OVAs: the flower-mobile suggests even more than the flower shop did that they are ALL sleeping together. How many beds do you honestly think would fit into that thing? No more than two, certainly. (possibly even just one)
Now there's an interesting thought.

Re: XD
But it'll probably be a while before it's officially released.
They've already come out with a third season for WK. (season one ended when Aya killed Takatori, everything after that is season two) Trust me, you don't want to see what they did to the Weiss boys. I'm still not fully recovered from what they did to Omi. He doesn't even look cute any more! And Youji has short hair! It's tragic.
On the other hand... Aya looks really good.
You can download the new series, and I think fansubbers are distributing it already, but it's really not worth it. I just can't stand to look at the new versions of the boys, or the new members of Weiss. And the new storyline is so mangled that it sucks big time. I think I'm just going to stick with what I have already.
I didn't know you were into Weiss! ^^ That's really cool! Any favorite couples? (I promise I won't be judgemental if you say RanKen or something ^_~) I'm always looking for Weiss fans to talk to. Especially since I know you have awesome taste, being a Daiken fan and all. :)
Re: XD
couples...mm...:D I like'm all! ;D Faves tho, Omi-nagi (don't ask me why, i just do! and i can't stop thinking of nagi as "ken"...lol...it's the short hair and the uniform, i swear!) Ken/aya, ayayouji--just cuz those two are so opposite!
:D Yay for wiess!
Re: XD
Hmm... I can't think of anyone on WK who reminds me of Ken, but Ken H. sorta reminds me of a more serious Taichi and Omi of a more emotional Koushiro sometimes. Youji makes me think of a male version of Miyako, but with more style, and better to look at.
I really like Nagi/Tot. I think I'm one of the very, VERY few people who do. Episode 22 is one of my favorites. But so sad... poor Nagi...
Other pairings I like: Ken/Omi (yay yay YAY!) and Youji/Aya (the dynamics are too good to resist). Though if you read my LJ, you probably know that already. :) I don't exactly make a secret of it.
I love Ken... Uh, I mean Weiss! Yes, Weiss. ^^;; Ehehe... *oggles Ken*
