UBER-PISSED-RIGHT-NOW!! - rant SPOILERS FOR KUROSHITSUJI

2009-03-26T14:38:00.000-07:00

As I started watching the latest Kuroshitsuji, I came across a few seriously angering obstacles. My computer and Internet said goodbye to me, and after the few last tries of reviving either of them, the computer shuts down. And to think I was in the middle of watching the episode in the most exciting and interesting part!! *anger* As I waited for the computer to get it's lazy ass moving and opening itself again, I killed random things and destroyed all of my chopsticks. And this one crappy doujin. But to add to pissed state, the episode ends SO shitty I want to punch every anime producer involved in this series!! I mean hello! How can you end a episode like that? How many episodes are there anyway? 24 or 25? IF the season is 24 episodes long, this was some really shitty way to end one.

Things that I hated and liked - list created by random thoughts in uber pissed mode:

1) I finally got my wish and that bastard of a shemale angel was killed. Although kinda hoping it would come back and suffer more.

2) I absolutely hated the fact that the bastard dared to cut off Sebastians hand! The nerve of it.

3) Random yaoi hints melted my heart a bit. The sweet Sebastian side... *sighs*

4) They seriously KILLED Ciel! Random. So no more seasons for this series, that's for sure.

5) A friggin lame ending with Sebastian taking his soul, and NOT EVEN SHOWING US 'THE KISS' DD: random flashback to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban here. Dementors... seriously... *shakes head*

6) Although the random shitty moments were there, I was kinda interested in the way they represent the soul and their connection to the angles and shinigamis.

7) Grell got back his 'scythe'! YAY for everyone!

8) Random Undertaker moment xDD loved that.

9) You seriously dare to kill Ciel?

10) I hate the way they had to drag Ciel's dad in any way possible into the anime, even though it's over.

11) In a way that it's stupid really.

12) And the fact that Sebastian's hand was cut off gave me a heart attack wasn't that nice...

13) AND I broke all my chopsticks and I'm still tempted to throw my computer out of the window.

14) For some reason I hate Ono Kento even more now.

15) Bring that shemale back and let's kill her again, ok? One last wish animators, please make that come true at least, ne?

*SIGHS* And now to write some anger sex in a fanfic. I feel a little better now, though. This needs the last straw. ;)

Darren Shan is BACK! and a rant on tenimyu guys

2009-03-16T12:15:00.000-07:00

Kyaaaaaa!!! I recently received the Darren Shan manga vol 2 that I bought from eBay! I've been longing for a while now, and I can't believe I'm actually holding it in my hands!! I bougth it from a person who manages a second hand book store in Japan, and he was kind enough to send two mini posters of Twilight and Keroro Gensou along with a small anime magazine, promoting the upcoming anime DVD releases coming later this year.

But anyway! I can't even express in words how I much love Darren Shan and his adventures! I remember I was at the city library searching for vampire books, when it gave out Darren Shan. And as a busy BOOK reader at that time, I read the first book in Finnish in an hour. And that was a feit for me at that time. I mean, I can read a Harry Potter in two hours these days, but anyway... I took the chance and read the second one straight on! And to tell you I was hooked! Of course I was disappointed that I couldn't see the third book, eventually it did come and of course I read it immediately, but as I could wait no more for the 4th book, I eventually ordered the rest of the books in English in three book trilogies. :D And I wasn't disappointed with the plot!

To those who don't know Darren Shan, it's about this boy (Darren Shan) who gets turned into a half-vampire by a vampire called Larten Crepsley and becomes his pupil by force. This is the basic consept, yes. But as the plot thickens, more and more strange things are revealed and the character design is amazing! The long plot never loses it's appeal and for times it made me feel I was high on something, since it was that addicting. And to top it off, this is NOT your original "Vampires hate garlic, they immediately die in sun, they bite you with their fangs" kinda vampire story. No, this is something completely uber :O-- I consider this book series to be at least equal to the Harry Potters. and as I've said this much about the books alone, then let me start on the manga xDD

The manga was first serialized in Shounen Sunday by Arai Takahiro and since I found the first chapter on Aku-Tenshi, I immediately fell in love with it! <3<3<3<3 The characters are not quite exactly what I imagined, but it seriously comes close xD Like with Larten Crepsley, RV, Mr.Tall and Evanna they are not quite what I imagined, but... I can live with them... But seriously! I keep thinking I'm seriously biased, since I'm a huge fan of the books, but I rank this manga as one of the best, because of the plot! And AS SOON AS I FIND A SCANNER, O-No! subs shall start on the project from chapter 6 onwards. :P I'm pretty excited you see ^^ and I'm kinda pissed at Aku-Tenshi for getting some of the names wrong in the earlier chapters >.<''' but anyhoo, a true fan with a knowledge of Japanese has stepped in!

And yes xD I was to rant about Tenimyu guys as well... well I found this overly wonderful yaoi movie, which stars 3rd cast Kaidou, 3rd cast Oishi, 2nd&3rd cast Fuji (Aiba Hiroki), Hirakoba Rin and 4th cast Momo. :D I was all WOW on this movie. And to think it had classical music in it! ^^ And :O----------------------- Aiba can sure play his violin!! I died several times, watching the scene of him play the violin over and over and over and over and over... there's nothing more a classical music fan (especially violin and piano music) Aibacchi being combined with a violin can ask for! And I'm saying this again: I died several times and got more than a few nosebleeds. *dies* But Tomo was SO cute in this movie :D Kyaaaa!! The movies name is "Takumi-kun Sereis: Soshite Harukaze ni sasayaite" , btw xDD but unfortunately it's subbed by CHLOE, so it has some missing words and mis-translations.

Dream Live 5th subbing complete!

2009-03-13T02:15:00.000-07:00

As I've been working my ass off with the Dream Live project together with my friend, I'm so happy to say it's now COMPLETE!! <3

I still need to encode the damn thing, and since it takes a long time, I've been lazy to start doing it, since I need my PC for random things and since the encoding takes a lot of capacity, it seems my PC can't do anything else but that... *shudders*

But anyway, gonna start the encoding soon enough... I hope xD gonna check the subs for mistakes once more. But it'll be out soon! Wait for it!

Musical Tennis no Oujisama rant!!!!! <3

2009-03-12T02:17:00.001-07:00

As I was quickly searching through the web yesterday morning before going to school, I decided to randomly go through the official Prince of Tennis musical page, since I wanted to know when exactly the damn Shintenhouji Treasure match was going to come out, I did find this out, but after a long time, since I saw immediately on the front page something SO AMAZING.

The thing is, DREAM LIVE 6th is starting it's shows in April and they end with 4th Seigaku's graduation in Tokyo in May. The idea is simple: they do a reproduction of Imperial Presence Hyotei feat. Higa and they added more cast there. I mean the only school missing a representative is St.Rudolph! O__O''

They're doing it the way they've done it for a while, A & B casts perform the lives. As I watch the horrid cast selections for Shintehouji, I can't help but weep. Anyone seen them yet? Anyway, the Dream Live 6th cast is as follows: A & B cast (4th & 5th generation) Seigaku, A & B Shitenhouji cast, Rikkai's Sanada, Yamabuki's Akutsu (A & B), Fudomine's Tachibana (HATE A cast! & B) and Hyoutei's horrible A & B cast.

I feel a little sorry, since I'd have so liked to go to this musical, but since we arrive in Hong Kong in July, I think it's an impossibility... and not to mention that the new Rikkai musicals that are gonna come after they're done with the Shitenhouji games. I wish I'd get to see one :) and as we've promised with my friend, we just might fly to Tokyo or whatever, to see the new Rikkaimyu for ourselves, if my timing when in Hong Kong is perfect. But we'll see when they announce them :) but I really DO wish they start showing them while I'm in Hong Kong...

And about the Shintenhouji Treasure Match. As I said, I found out about the date. It's coming in early April as DVD.

YAY!!! happy dance and sadness...

2009-03-08T07:00:00.000-07:00

After a loooong while, Katsura Hoshino-sensei has finally come back to her work! ^ ^ New D.Gray-man chapter is out! Can't feel a little disappointed that it was only 19 pages, since the fans have been waiting for a while for her to recover from her wrist injury, but getting to read the chapter was such a relief. I've been reading the whole series again and again and again... *sigh* and I came to comclusion that Allen in China arc is the best :P or the very first chapters. I can't decide. But anyway, I'm glad that more chapters are gonna come from now on ^ ^

But as I was searching for new chapters for Prince of Afterschool (since I only have 1,2 & 5) I found out that Hikaru no Go has been continuing in Jump Square O___O imagine that! Hikaru no Go Deluxe is the name. Now, as a BIG fan I tried to find the RAWs, to even translate them! But no... =____='''' no RAWs to be found, damnit!! I feel so depressed because of that. Anyone that can help me? anyway, O-No! subs is now a scanlator group as well, as you might've asked yourself "Why is she ranting about translating manga?" Prince of Afterschool has been adopted by us, since no one else is active enough to do it. Chapter 2 is now up for download on O-No! subs page

About Kuroshitsuji again...and a bit more...

2009-03-05T23:21:00.000-08:00

O____O I just watched the latest episode (although I couldn't resist doing some skipping in some parts)........

One reaction: wtf. Seriously. If not the random idiotic new plot wasn't enough, they're doing random fillers now? I'm gonna stop watching this anime, if the next episode isn't something better. The filler about the Phantomhive's servants backgrounds was kinda fun, but it was a friggin filler! Nobody likes fillers! The animators are seriously losing their grip on this one...

And another anime I've been watching lately is Toradora! It's a romantic comedy with a clear plot, but the latest episode was kind of a deep breath between the main plot and the climax. I was kinda disappointed by that, since there were a lot of expectations from me for the episode, but I guess it's a little better it's unpredictable,, or I'm just slow on these things xD Oh well, kinda liked, kinda didn't like the episode. End of story.

Failure after failure... =___='''

2009-03-05T22:25:00.000-08:00

I'll list some random failures I've come across lately:

1) There was talk about translating the new PoT chapter in English, BUT alas! Someone got ahead of me ans Myra :) Well, we'll do it faster next time. This time limited time we had wasn't enough, since I was at my mum's place at the time when I got the Japanese RAW.

2) Since I was at my mum's place and not my own, I should probably explain why. Shippai nr. 2: I left Myra's SanaYuki doujin there during Christams holidays and I just HAD to rescue it. I don't know why I hadn't done it before, perhaps it's just my laziness or something... ^ ^'

3) My mp3 player apparently has a virus in it and I have been struggling to get it work on a PC. And because of that, my mum hasn't allowed me to stick the mp3 to the crappy old laptop that they have. So no subbing DL5 for us for a few days...

3) There has apparently been a lot of random mishaps in the house even before I came to visit. Both of the cars busted, one of them moving apparently with holy power, the microwave doesn't work properly, the crappy old laptop with a cracked screen just lost keyboard buttons and my mum's going crazy over them and the two bunnies that we have stink so bad they have to be washed every week. No, seriously.

The fatter one of them is a gray massive blob that doesn't care whether he sprays urine on the walls or not. His behind is always so dirty and stinks so bad it's a miracle he can bear it himself. Laku is his name. And the second one, Musti, a completely black female (who happens to be Laku's mother) is a little cleaner and doesn't stink much, but drives everyone crazy by posting shit everywhere where she's not supposed to be. They have their own toilets O__O and sleeping areas, but they shit there, unfortunately. And even so, they are the only ones besides my mum I miss the most here in Kokkola (which is about 200 km away from Oulu, which is where I live) *sigh*

But shall the O-No! subs live long! Contact me or MyraSolo on both youtube and blogspot and of course on the O-No! subs official page is where we both see the stuff you send us ^ ^

SUB GROUP OPENED!

2009-03-05T03:05:00.000-08:00

The sub group has been on for a while, but so far it's more like a duo with my friend xD We've opened a site on LiveJournal for the group, where we'll post all the download links etc info later on.

But yeah O-no! subs

contact either: me! or MyraSolo on YouTube to join the sub group, even though you know nothing of Japanese, Chinese or Korean. Cheery people are always welcome! We are doing the official subs, alongside with crack subs and yaoi subs. You will be SO suprised to how yaoi DL5 dialogues and songs really are.... goes to laugh in a corner.

Keep on waiting for DL5! Soon to be there!

New Prince of Tennis Manga is here!!!!

2009-03-03T14:40:00.000-08:00

*nosebleed* New Kantoku! Ryoma in a leather jacket! Sanada! Renji! Yukimura! Seigaku is back! Golden Pair randomness! Platinum Pair breaks up! *sniff*

The chapter's in Chinese, but it's still too hot to miss.

Shin Prince of Tennis chapter 1 in Chinese

Kuroshitsuji anime...the goods and bads.

2009-02-27T00:05:00.000-08:00

Has anyone watched the Kuroshitsuji anime lately? Anyway, watched the latest episode, 20, on Veoh last night. Everyone that has watched and read Kuroshitsuji, knows that the anime steered off the manga's plotline a looong time ago. I know a lot of people like when the anime gives out something new and refreshing, but on Kuroshitsuji they made a horrible mistake.

To those who don't know Kuroshitsuji, it revolves around this uberhot demon, temporarily called Sebastian, that has made a contract with an English aristocrat snobby boy called Ciel Phatomhive for his soul. Sebastian serves him as a butler, going everywhere with, making sure Ciel doesn't die. Ciel is the Queen's "guard dog" who does random jobs revolving around supernatural phenomenas and covering up for the aristocrats' crimes. KuroS has a lot of yaoi hints, since the author is originally a yaoi artist. Mostly SebCiel ^ ^' and of course I like that.

But DAMN do I hate the new anime plotline. It started from the Curry competition episodes, that I remember. And then they include some overly annoying woman in there, that's haunting Ciel all over the place, trying to kill him. And what annoys me even more is that the Circus arc didn't make the anime O___o IT IS THE BEST *dies* why, oh why can't the animators just stick to the original plot in this one... *cries*

Getting excited! :D

2009-02-22T01:34:00.000-08:00

Not many of you might know, but I'm a diehard U2 fan. Apparently got it from my father ^ ^ anyway, it's 22nd of February and their next album is released 27th in Ireland and 2nd of March in the rest of Europe. I just can't wait! Their first single 'Get On Your Boots' wasn't exactly a love with first hearing, but I'm definitely looking forward to hear the whole album.

Seems that I can probably get to Japan now as well :) we'll see how my summer holiday plans go.

Time is near...for Tomo to graduate, that is.

2009-02-18T11:22:00.000-08:00

I've been making a real progress with Dream Live 5th despite of being sick this week. Since school takes a lot of time during I think I might be able to finish subbing this weekend. Yeah, MIGHT. Since Higa Chuu (strangles everyone except Kite) speaks like a bunch of aliens at times, it might take longer than that. And I do have the problem of not being able to keep my eyes off Kite's ass... :)

But anyway, until then I'll post lyrics from the DL5th from now on here :)

Track #1: Seigaku Medley.

"OMG, I can't believe what I just found!"

2009-02-16T02:24:00.000-08:00

I went to see what YesAsia and CDjapan offers. And what do I find? Let's list out.

1) Prince of Tennis Musical Treasure Match Shitenhouji CD comes out 25th of March with a collectible sticker. Already made the pre-order :D

2) There are D.Gray-man folding fans! O_______O As you may not know, I'm a friggin' Japanese fan maniac! I collect them. I have about two dozens of different kinds of fans decorating my living room. I'm not sure if I should order them now or later, since I might find some seriously cool stuff later on, but... this is so hard to decide!

3) YESasia sells Japanese Prince of Tennis mangas. Since I've been stuck with the crappy English translated ones for a while (Got vols 1-5, and 17), I've decided to order only from YESasia from now on. Placed the order for 41 & 42 :D don't ask why. I just randomly collect them. I mean I bought vol.17 first! ^^

4) Prince of Tennis Fan Remix DVDs are on sale for about 20€s. :( But alas, since school books cost so damn much these days, I just can't bring myself to order one. I need to eat, too! :D

5) YESASIA SELLS PRINCE OF TENNIS NOVELS! I was shocked to say the least. A day of Survival Mountain, DokiDoki Survival secret of the beach and many more. :/ about 17-20 € per piece. Survival Mountain for about 10 €s. Can't buy them, just can't. But thank god I time...

What I was dissapointed about was that YesAsia doesn't have Darren Shan manga... bought 2 on eBay :) If you haven't read that, then do it today! It's really good. The novels are awesome as well.

Yesterday, my dad invaded my aparment :D We live in the same city, and he often comes around with my little b(r)others to talk and my little brothers brutally latches onto my PC. Thank god we don't live together anymore... ;) It's much quieter now. ANYWAY, my dad came while I was subbing Dream Live 5th. And guess what he suggests? "Shall we go to Hong Kong next summer?" I was like O___O Are you serious? (I would've liked to go to Japan, but...) I said to him that I didn't know. I've got so many different options this summer I don't know what to do.

My options:
___________

1) Go to Hong Kong with my dad and his wife (kinda hate her these days), don't know much Chinese. Some maybe. Enough to understand a small conversation.

2) My mum and her husband (and my brothers) are moving to either Bulgaria or to Thailand. I can't remember which. I've been invited.

and let's not forget the fact that I live alone, gonna get a job in the summer, and that in need to study for my school's matriculation exams (mathematics, history and mother tongue).

*sigh* this is gonna be one hellawa summer, that I can tell already.

Feeling feverish...

2009-02-16T01:42:00.000-08:00

I'm feeling seriously sick and feverish and dizzy and god knows what else :( that's why I'm dedicating this day mostly for sleep and drinking green tea. And I'll keep on watching the half-subbed DL 5. In your face, dearies! (Just kidding.) I'll probably sub some more, so we'll see if I can keep up with my pace and finish subbing it some time this week :)

Official Prince of Tennis desktop decorator and DL 5 rant

2009-02-15T04:10:00.000-08:00

Hiya again! ^ ^

I was googling for more Tenipuri fan disc material (which wasn't exactly a success I'm afraid) and I ended up on a Japanese blog site and they had linked the official Prince of Tennis site there. Why? Because of the coolest thing is up for download there! The Page

It's basically a desktop clock/date tennis ball, where you can choose the character that's standing/sitting on the tennis ball. Of course you can move them around together and separately. Every character has three different pictures taken of them. Exceptions are made with Ryoma(who has 6 basic pictures) and Seigaku has a special Christmas set. And Karupin poses as a reindeer ;D And not to mention all of the pictures are chibis! They're the cutest little things ever! :D

And then a bit about my Dream Live 5th project. And I've got to say I'm a little proud of myself right now. Most of the songs are now translated, BUT I haven't included them in the final sub yet. They're in a separate text file in perfect order. And since I've been concentrating on the songs, I haven't subbed the in-between dialogues...but...I can't help but laugh every time I hear the Ishida/Oshitari/(that one St.Rudolph guy) dialogue before Rikkai's Gakeppuchi girigiri :D Ishida is the best! xD Maybe I'll upload that part before I actually upload the whole thing, since it's way too funny! ... but anyway :) gonna go sub more!

Happy Valentine's minna-san!

2009-02-14T01:45:00.000-08:00

I have now passed the half hour mark on subbing Dream Live 5th :D How cool is that? Although I've been pulling a few all-nighters (since I kept watching anime and staring at Kite's ass when Higa performed Dark Horse... ^^) Anyway, including the lyrics and translating them isn't that fun in general, but in the end it's worth it, I'm sure. So, so far I'm done with these songs:

1. Seigaku Medley (a mix of Aoku Moeru honoo, Run run run, This is the Prince of Tennis and Brand New Seigaku.) performed by Seigaku of course.

2. Ore-tachi no Jisho ni Haiboku wa Nai performed by Rikkai

3. Makeru koto no Yurusarenai Ouja ~ Hijou no Tennis by Rikkai.

4. Fuurinkazan by Sanada Genichirou + rest of Rikkai.

5. Minami no Shima Kita Shikyaku~Dark Horse. Minami performed by Kite and Dark Horse by whole Higa Chuu (lol, Pikachu. My little brother hears that every time I make him watch PoT and when they shout Higa Chuu, he hears that for some reason. I've tried to explain to him that it's Higa, but so far in vain ^^)

and

6. Tennis to wa by Fuji and Momo.

Now, I know I said I'd start encoding stuff, so here's the encoded Tenipuri Mini Theater download link to honor Valentine's Day :D Mini Theater hardsubbed

And I'm not sure everyone's noticed this, but the Shitenhouji's Captain Shiraishi made a Valentine Kiss single to honor the tradition of random Prince of Tennis people making an own version of the song this year. He sounds sounds so cute in it!! But I don't think that the pink/white striped sweater he has on in the single cover suits him that much... and I was kinda dissapointed by the fact that even though he's known for his "Ecstasy!" comments (:D) he did, not even one time, say/sing it in the song! I would've so loved to hear him shout "Ecstasy!!" in the end, like in Sanada's and Oishi's versions they both shout out. Sanada's is more like a scream, but yeah ^^ and Oishi had to shout so he wouldn't pass out of hyperventilation, lol.

There are a lot of Valentine Kiss versions, so I'll list them here:

There's 2 Atobe's versions. One with voice messages and one with "talk time" included.

2 Oshitari Yuushi's versions with voice messages and talk time.

Kai Yuujirou's version is there as well. ^^ reminds me of summer and a sunny day on a beach :D

Oishi's version cracks me up :D the mental breakdown at the end...

Shishido Ryou's version is in there as well :)

And of course Sanada's :D the yell in the end.

And this year's participant's version: Shiraishi Kuranosuke's version!

And download them all from here: Mediafire folder

Happy Valentine's Day! Hyvää ystävänpäivää! <3

Big news people!

2009-02-12T06:23:00.000-08:00

I can now officially encode! :D You're probably thinking "That's not something new to hear about.", but if you had been in my shoes, you'd know why this is such a big deal to me. Firstly, I had just wanted a simple and clean program that can encode the subs to the video. I download this utility from a website saying it's completely safe and easy to use. That was about a week ago. I'd actually given up on one point, since the constant battles with trying to get the right codecs installed to my PC had worn me out so bad. *sigh* but all is fixed now. I found the perfect subtitle manager/encoder combination and from now on you'll only see encoded video download links from me, if you don't ask for a softsub file, that is... so expect to see Tenipuri Mini Theater download link for the encoded one soon!

But anyway! For some reason I seem to have addled my brains so much that I decided take over and sub Dream Live 5th, since there seems no interest in subbing it. And I'm taking requests of what you want subbed now. But please bear in mind that I live in Finland, so it's not exactly easy for me to find the RAWs all the time...

This rant is over for now, BUT ...I just noticed during installing all those programs and codecs that I have over 10GB of random doujinshis, art books, Japanese novels and anime on my PC O__O ...I gotta find my empty DVDs it seems... I just have to relieve my poor hard drive...

POT Downloads...

2009-02-11T09:16:00.000-08:00

Yahhooo minna!

As I promised, the download link to the Prince of Tennis Mini Theather is here.

My linking option isn't working, so you'll have to copy paste the link :) but I'm sure it'll work either way!

Of starting things, Inui drinks, sub group recruits and random rants...

Hiya! :) I thought I'd finally start an own blog of mine and made myself one!

As you might've seen, the main stuff I'm gonna talk or rant about is anime and manga, but things such as JPop, JDrama, random books, music in general and other stuff is bound to be things for me to talk about as well.

At first I'd give out an announcement (if someone actually sees this): I'm planning to start a subbing group open for everyone. It doesn't really matter if you don't know any Japanese, or to encode, or even proper English! ^ ^ (since I don't, lol, well, except for the Japanese part). But mostly looking for people who can encode and time subs, check the spelling and sentences whether they even make sense and happy people who'll either 1) give out RAW files, 2) cheer us on in every way possible or 3) does both. :) Oh, and more translators in this thing wouldn't hurt either. I think I have one person in on this, if she agrees to do it that is. So a Japanese anime subbing group: participants wanted! The name's not yet decided and for those who want to join and don't know any Japanese... I'm willing to teach the basic sentence structures, words and even some of the kanji, if you're interested. If you've caught interest, please contact me through Youtube or comment on this rant and give me your name and mention what spot you're interested in.

Secondly, I was randomly searching Youtube (once again) and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juIUauj2dLg

It's basically a poll of which Prince of Tennis school is the best (or hottest, lol). And it's got every school in it in their appearance order in the anime.

Seigaku, Fudomine, St.Rudolph, Yamabuki, Hyotei, Jyotei Shonan, Rokkaku, Rikkai, Higa and Shitenhouji.

Can you actually put them in a order? Let's try. Ok, Jyotei Shonan is that biatches school, that turns every player into 'a masterpiece'. They're the lowest of the low. So the 10th place goes automatically to Jyotei. Remember even the players? One name? I don't. Except I like to call that silverhaired dude who played Ryoma 'Spock' because of his ears :D

Then let's compare the good points of the schools and draw conclusions out of them (part 1):

Seigaku:

Echizen Ryoma,
The main character. Cute as hell and that arrogance just adds up to his charm somehow! ^ ^ (I'm a supporter of Pillar Pair these days,, and MomoRyo,, and Cat Pair :P and I do randomly read crack pairing fanfics like Kaidou/Ryoma and Oishi/Ryoma and occasionally RyoSaku for some reason.)

Momoshiro Takeshi:
I can't help but smile every single time I think about or see him :D I guess it's something to do with his personality and that cheerful aura about him. Even though he ends up fighting with Kaidou a lot. And he's cutie :P

Kaidou Kaoru:
At first when I started watching this series, I seriously didn't like him at all! All those snake noises and that bandana just drowe me crazy! But now my thoughts about him are: "He's SOOOOO cute without the bandana :)" and "He's so sweet." "God, I loved the scene where he played with Karupin in the club house." haha ;)

Inui Sadaharu:
I may be sadist and get off on other people's misery sometimes, but I just love Inui for his drinks! I actually tried one of his recipes just for fun and...................... well I swear I momentarily died. You can find the recipe on Youtube in the form of a song by Inui. It's called 'You get the power!' and I'm not sure I remember why I actually made it, since I hate half of the ingredients that are used to make it. Blergh! >o< I don't know if I count Inui as one of the hottest in Seigaku, but he has a certain aura about him that makes him interesting enough. ( Oh and I know, there's a lot of Inui/Kaidou, but for some reason I have yet to a single fanfic or a doujinshi with that pairing...)

Oishi Syuuichirou:
Oishi is the funniest of them all, because of his antics and reactions :D The Mother of Seigaku indeed! He's trustworthy, an egghead and overall a nice guy. What's there not to like? With Kikumaru he forms the Golden Pair and it certainly has caught the doujinshi-ka's attention :) Ever noticed Oishi calls Kikumaru by his first name whenever he does? In Japan people call you by their first name if you're 1) relatives 2) share a very, very close friendship or 3) you're lovers. And considering all the things...I'm all for numer 3!

Kikumaru Eiji:
Aww.... Seigaku's cutest little cat! His acrobatic play is fun to watch :D ( I wonder how far his talents go... *evil laugh*) There's so much to him! He's cute, energetic, cheerful, always glomping Ryoma and calling him O-chibi, which is so cute ;) and he's the other part of Golden Pair, what's more there is to say?

Kawamura Takashi.
Kawamura is the perfect sweet straight guy :D I'm in love with him in a way. He's not that bad looking and the when-he-gets-the-racket-he-turns-into-a-tennis-monster thing is funny! I laugh every time (at least chuckle) when he shouts out "Buurning!!!" or something equally embarrasing and funny xD At first I was thinking "what's that guy's problem? O__O?" but now... it's just sweet in a way :D

Fuji Shuusuke:
The cute evil tensai that everybody loves and fears :D you don't want to get to his bad side no matter what... I don't have much to talk about him, other than I'm not really into Fuji/Tezuka in any way. I just don't like Fuji that much. I mean he's cool and he can drink Inui's experiments and all that, but... I don't like him that much.

Tezuka Kunimitsu:
The Captain! God, I wish Konomi-sensei had decided to remove the glasses in the manga! *screams out of frustration* He's way hotter that way. He should so smile more, but I guess the series wouldn't be the same anymore. He's meant to be made out of stone. Pillar pair rocks so much for me these days. I wish people did more of that instead of Fuji/Tezuka...

part 2: Fudomine, coming later on...
