K, entry time. I have meant to make an entry for the last couple of days, but… well, I shall explain.
For a long while I’ve meant to try to watch some Avatar – The Last Airbender, resultant upon having seen some bits of some episodes and thinking it looked really really cool. So on Sunday I bought the boxed set for the first book/season, figuring I would check it out and that if it sucked I could just sell the thing. I started watching it after work on Monday, and HOLY CRAP. I didn’t stop until way past my bedtime; I made it more than halfway through. BEST SHOW EVER. I finished yesterday; I am madly in love.
I am also traumatized that the next boxed set doesn’t come out until September, so I will have to buy all the individual Earth DVD’s to see what happens next. Is Zuko’s sister as big a drama whore as he is? Will they kill off Iroh because his voice actor died? (Incidentally, I recognized his voice like boom right away) Is it possible for Aang to be any more cute and edible? Do I get my own flying bison?? AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! And EVEN WORSE is that it will be twelve million years before I can ever see the third season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I was glancing over the wikipedia page trying not to spoil myself but unable to resist, and I came upon this: On January 8, 2007, Paramount Pictures’ MTV Films and Nick Movies announced that they have signed M. Night Shyamalan to write, direct and produce a trilogy of live-action films based on the series, the first of which will encompass the main characters’ adventures of Book one. I WILL FUCKING DIE. Shyamalan is one of my gods, and this show is my new love, and the thought of them combined will DESTROY ME wis love and joy kwikli.
So yeah. Avatar. It’s Aang’s fault I haven’t posted in my lj this week. P.S. I am in love wis Katara.
What else was I going to say? Oh, yeah… I dreamed I was at work, but my work was more like a school. I heard they were offering VTO (voluntary time off), but only for girls who got off before eight. I fit into that category, so I headed downstairs (though there were no stairs and I had to jump down a shaft of some sort) to take advantage of teh VTO. But by the time I got up to the counter where I was to talk to the person to sign up for this VTO, I was Amelia and the person was my daughter who’d been kidnapped as a baby by Sethos and raised as a criminal. And instead of signing people up for VTO, she was selling antiquities… except they were mostly chains (e.g. necklaces wis no pendants) and a couple of watches. We had some kind of cryptic exchange that made sense and was clever in the dream but that was rather puzzling when I woke up. Which was right then, so I didn’t get to witness teh mas drama.
Maturity level at my work is mysticism. “Adherence is the most impo tant part of your job,” the dry erase board reads. “Make sure you c ock in and out for your breaks properly.” Speaking of work, it makes the day seem so freaking long when my breaks are balanced badly. Especially when we’re really busy, which we have been lately. Today was the first non-busy day in a long time. Also speaking of work, they’re changing my schedule again -__- Soon I shall be working 8-16. Mou.
OK, that’s all the squealing I need to do right now. Time for productivity. TEH VAMPIES.
Is Avatar available subbed?
It’s not actually anime, so no. That was what kinda kept me from it for the longest time… I couldn’t figure out what kind of show it really was. Turns out that although a Korean animation studio draws it, it’s written by American items. Heavily anime-influenced, though. It is love.
Aaaaah, I see. I probably couldn’t watch it, then. My biggest problem with dub is that I think American (or Canadian, as the case may be) are mostly pretty horrible. Too bad. =(
The quality of the voice acting is pretty standard Saturday-morning-cartoon… which is generally a lot better than anime dub quality, IMnsHO. But I do understand.
Y’ know, you’re not the first to say what an awesome show it is…I thought it was geared more towards my niece’s age (grade school) but now my curiosity is peeked.
I love Shyamalan *_* I think he’s underated.
BTW…your icon…where’s it from?
VAMPIES? YAY!
Okay, my randomness shall stop. Back to work, Leah -_-
It is indeed aimed at teh childs. And so is most anime and manga and everything else I like XD
I worship that Shyamalan. I adore everything he does.
My icon is the lethally adorable Sei-chan, son of Hiko and Saitou in the doujinshi series Kemonomichi no Toriko.
Yeth, vampies. Did you see the preview I posted the other day? The really good news is that things have suddenly fallen into place for me to have a postable chapter done… soonish.
Postable chapter sounds very good =) Good luck with it and can’t wait to read it!
:D I even finally managed to come up wis a title!! It shouldn’t be too much longer before a chapter appears!!
Whoo! That is spectacular =D
I’ve never heard of that doujinshi…any child of those two would be teh adorable ^^
I did see the preview…I haven’t had a chance to read much of anything, but I promise to review soon ^^
♥
Here are a couple of scans from volume 9. Not work safe :D
Nice O_O Where can I get my hands on it? If I can’t, what’s the actual plot…or is there one? >.
Once upon a time I summarized them at length. It is a series that I greatly love. To purchase it you would have to look on ebay… it took me several years to get hold of all ten volumes, though.
Avatar is god! I love that series, you can download it online you knows? Teh second season. Zuko wins~ But so does Sokka and Toph~ Toph mostly though. XD Third season is starting soon to.
I yuff Zuko. He is so angsty XD XD I have not met Toph yet! But I bet I will yuff her too ^__^

*le sigh* Avatar is a great series. I hate it when I miss several episodes.
Aang and Katara are great. I like Katara’s brother as well, I just can’t remember his name!
Zuko is juuuuuusst a bit obsessed with Aang. *coughs* Run Aang, Run!
