"Sequential Art"? Dude, that's even more pretentious sounding than graphic novel!

So, volume 18 of FMA is supposed to be out in English now. Volume 21 of Tsubasa is supposed to come now next week in English. Looks like I may have to save up more allowance.

So in the meantime, I went back to onemanga, and guess what? There's a new chapter of Sailor Moon up! And I learned something very important today; don't fuck with Sailor Venus. Seriously, don't fuck with her. Sure, lots of fans see her as nothing more than eye candy, but believe me, in the original manga, she is not to be messed with.

Man, I'm still surprised as to the quality of the SM manga compared to its anime. It's almost like a whole different franchise! Sailor Mercury is useful, Sailor Mars isn't a mean bitch, and of course the aforementioned fact that Sailor V(enus) is not to be trifled with. And, I actually find the relationship between Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask to be . . . believable. My gawd! I'm seriously turning into a hardcore Moonie, aren't I!? This, despite the fact that the franchise has been inactive for several years? Well, word of advice; if all you know about SM is from watching the anime, do as I say: forget everything you know about SM, and Read The Fucking Manga Already!



CHIBI REI COMMANDS YOU!


Like that? It's from the manga.

In other news, tvtropes pointed me to something. I'm too lazy to link it, but go to So Bad It's Good Fanfiction, and look up Half-Life: Full-Life Consequences. You should find some youtube links to some vids that mock HL:FLC. Dude, did I just abbreviate a sucky fanfic? Guess I did.

In even other news, you know what's a good new movie? Slumdog Millionaire. That movie is epic.
