   [FANGIRL // a serious, incurable addiction]
the package has just arrived and now my Rurouni Kenshin video collection is complete! yay kenshin i own you now!! *wraps arms around kenshin's neck & squeezes till he's out of breath* XD the missing piece to my collection was the "samurai x reflection director's cut" OVA, which was recently released in dec.2004. tho i've been wanting to get it ever since, i held back because...

1> honestly, watching an hour of spliced/re-animated sequences from the TV series, the charas behaving so 'out-of-character', and kenshin moping around as an absentee father & later dying of a suspected STD (?!!)...all immersed in an overall VERY depressing atmosphere does not make for an uplifting anime experience. u_u so even tho i can watch the "trust" & "betrayal" OVAs again & again, i usually avoid "reflection" like the plague.

2> darnit! i already own two copies of the original "reflection" OVA!! >_<; copy #1 was bought when it first came out; and copy #2 came with the OVA boxset. btw, it's a semi-annoying discrepancy that they've different Rurouni Kenshin logos on each of the covers.

3> having been fed up with ADV, which is notorious for repackaging and re-releasing the same stuff over & over again, i had promised myself not to fall into their trap or to contribute to their corporate earnings in this way again. >:(

...and yet, i did end up getting it (*guilty sweatdrops*). solely on the reason that it contains 38 min. (!!!) of previously unreleased footage (w00t!!) for the DC version of "reflection" supposedly contains the flashback sequences of kenshin & tomoe's wedding and more scenes of kenji (son of kenshin & kaoru)'s childhood! excited? i think so!! ^0^

well, that's it of my raving about RuroKen. i just wanted to share with you today's news of joy & excitement. ^^; can't wait to start watching! ...my future goals would be to own all of the RuroKen manga/anime artbooks and as many doujinshi and action figures as i could find. that'd be the theme of my room, lol. ^_^;;

>> EDIT: i'm totally pooped for today (running around buying valentine presents & rushing to the post office...=_=;). so i'll try to finish visiting all of your sites & post another fanart over the weekend, if i could. so, happy (belated?) lunar new year!! and have a good one!! :D
