texchanI'm doing the happy, happy anime fan dance at long last. OK, well, not "at long last", as I find something anime-related to sqwee over on a pretty regular basis. (Yes, I am that pathetic, but ... you guys already knew that, right? *nervous laugh*)
So, what has me so anime-happy this time, you ask?
Finally, after what seems like an eternity of waiting (although it was probably only two months), I have in my grubby, little mitts the newest Saiyuki Reload graphic novel. Number 7. Well, newest that I know of, that is. I thought this stupid thing would NEVER get released. Yes, even in spite of the handy, dandy release date listed at the back of volume number 6. But, let me tell you -- two months has never seemed so darn long to me. Volume 6 ended on the hugest cliff hanger. I mean, literally, at the end of Volume 6, I was like: "WTF?!? Noooo! You WILL give me more pages, damn you!" as I shook the book, as if I could succeed in dragging additional pages of story out of it. Yeah. It was that bad. Then, Number 7 was supposed to release on my birthday, but the ones sent to my bookstore were late. Wouldn't you know it? Grrr. So, I had to wait another few days.
But, yesterday, I called the book store. The book was in and being held at the front counter for me, and I made my hubby drop me by there on our way to dinner.
Then, of course, I had to read the entire book (some parts of it twice) during dinner. My hubby wasn't happy about it, but I figure he doesn't have much room to complain, considering he's almost permanently attached to his Blackberry and cell phone -- both of which interrupt our meals on a regular basis.
Now, though, I am satiated, at least for the moment. The cliffhanger has resolved, and with one bang-up, kick-butt fight -- which I only wish had been animated. *grumbles over that* Everyone is still alive (YAY!). As if there was any doubt of that, though. Still, it looked pretty darn rough for a bit there. And, the road trip continues. Well, sort of.
And, Tex is happeh.
