Oh, Sweet, Merciful Crack...
Estrogen crack, that is.

I've written reviews of Samurai 7 - an instant classic, Gankutsuou - a classic, beautifully retold, and various other sweet little pieces.

I am not going to do a review of Saiyuki. Crack does not need a review to get junkies.

I'd read reviews of the series blasting it as full of holes, overdone, etc, etc. I'd seen the fan-art, done mostly by drooling fan-girls. I figured it wasn't for me.

Then I picked Saiyuki Reload up off the newsgroups when it was in repost. I watched half of them in one night... then spent the rest of the night on Irc, getting the rest.

No one told me it was an irreverent retelling of a Chinese legend. Finding that out just made it funnier.

No review here - just a warning: Saiyuki is Estrogen Crack. Even the Technically Bad Guys go around with no shirts on. And in Reload, Sanzo plays with a kitten while lying in bed...

--ahem--

So, the punchline:

The Problem With Saiyuki and Assorted Bishounen
I'm slow in the morning. I sit, read the paper, drink a cup of coffee, then another cup of coffee, then I get my butt in gear.

I have a white-ish bathrobe, and yes, I wear glasses when I read the paper. So, here I look up and catch my reflection in the window. My hair's sticking up a bit, how the heck did I get that zit in the middle of my forehead at my age...

Ah Crap... I look like Sanzo.

I wonder if he knows he looks like a sleep-deprived, underweight woman? Except he's prettier than me. Dammit.
