Wanna Play Old Manga?

I didn't exactly want to turn this into Kenshin month, but it might turn out that way. I can't help it. I really have him on the brain. I can't decide if I like him better when he's fighting or when he's goofing off. ^_^!

Okay, so lately I got my hands on volumes one through ten of Rurouni Kenshin ... the manga. I haven't read very many manga. I've read a couple volumes of Crest of the Stars, Slayers, and all of Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, and all that is currently available of Gokusen. Other than those I'm not really much of a manga maniac. But I'm slowly coming around to the idea that I actually like manga better than anime. Anime is a BIG time investment, and it's sickening how much more screwing around goes on in an anime series compared to a manga. Manga is so much more compressed and gets to the point so much faster. If you're bored and want to get on with things, just speed up your reading and if you're enjoying it - you can read the page a couple more times before you move on.

So, I was trying to decide what really launched this little Kenshin phase and I think it was Inu-yasha. I was watching Inu-yasha and I was getting frustrated with it. It was moving sooo slowly ... urgh ... so slow. Not that parts of it weren't enjoyable because they were, but the plot is so well distributed that as an author I was sitting there going, "How dare they screw around with my time like this!" For instance, they do a plot arch about Inu-yasha, and then one about Sango and her brother and then one about Kagome and then one about Chippo, and Muzuku (I think) and then they do another round, hitting all the characters again and I was sitting there going "Bloody hell!" So even though I'd faithfully watched a DVD everyday for several weeks - I was no where near finishing it. And ya know what? Every second that I watched it just made me want to watch Kenshin more. So then, I went and downloaded a whole crap load of AMVs and now I'm reading the manga. It's interesting. I'm on volume seven right now.

Okay, on a different subject, I don't really like doing side notes, but this one time, I'll have to.

Side Note Number One - If you want to access my new blog called 'Ghost Mist', then there is a link to it on my link bar. So, go to if you're interested.

Side Note Number Two - My brain is actually exactly like the inside of a spagetti squash ... really gross ... yeah, I'm sorry. My brain is pudding ... or something very akin to it. So, this is a pretty random post. Excuse me ... very random.
