::bishounen heaven::

yoshi. here comes the first torrent of Genbu Kaiden pictures!!! whee, my current favourite manga next to Skip Beat! heh. wells, the story is much much sadder than that of Fushigi Yuugi. if u thought that was sad, this is devastating. though i don't wish to spoil much, Fushigi Yuugi fans already know more or less the ending of Genbu Kaiden. yeah at the very least we know that Takiko's father killed her then commited suicide.


Tomite and Hikitsu appeared in Fushigi Yuugi as eternal guardians of Genbu no Miko's Shikihojou (i think). blahs, they are the first in the Genbu no Shichiseshi to die (sobs). if i remember correctly, Tomite died trying to protect Takiko and Hikitsu died protecting Tomite. so yeah, obviously they're gays. but it's unfair to Takiko to kill off two of her bishies at one shot. boos. she only has 4 kae fine, 5 bishies in her team (i shall not divulge spoilers >.<), so there's like half the bishies gone already....boos...

wells, the bulk of the Genbu Shichiseshi are here, let's see, there's like 4 of them here, i shan't say who is the fourth. =) since it took me like 2,3 years of following the manga to find out. =P yah, let's just say i'm happy the last Shichiseshi is a bishie, or at least, he has the qualities of a bishie. =) by the way, i've done this many times, but let me just do it once more. Takiko is so much better than Miaka. continue on the Miaka bashing! =)

this is my favourite wallpaper of all time. <3 their story is soooo sad...bahs, but i think they perfect for each other. =) so yeah. and i prefer Genbu Kaiden's storyline, although it's more tragic, it makes Takiko look stronger than Miaka, coz i dun think Miaka can handle the stuff Takiko does. =) ehhs, yeah, eye candy definitely. and my wonderful Rimudo...sighs. just stop making fun of his power. he doesn't want to be constantly turned into a girl either, although it can be very useful at times. (refer to manga)

one of the happier and sweeter moments in Genbu Kaiden. nothing beats the two of them together, and Rimudo's speech at the festival is enough to melt any girl's heart. of course, Takiko's did. she even landed up with a fever. hahas. but yeah, happy moments in Genbu Kaiden are few and precious, so i shall cherish them. =) <3

another installation of pictures by laine. =) i love the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu lessons, coz it's like continuing the trend of how Kenshin got bullied during his training in the manga. the last picture is cute and i guess quite funny. for strangers to RK (my gosh...have u even heard of it?), Kenshin is known as Hitokiri Battousai, sub in Kitty and u get Hito Kitty! for Saitou, his sword style is Gatotsu. sub in Chu and u get Gatochu! Saitou's motto, or rather the Shinsengumi motto, is Aku Soku Zan. which loosely translates to 'evil swiftly slash' so yeah, and for Kenshin, i know he has quite a few styles which end with Ryu Sen, so i can't be for sure which one it is, but the best bet is Kuzu Ryu Sen, since both Kuzu and Neko have two syllabus. oh well, it's just for fun. =)

humour is self-explanatory. credits to laine for wonderfully showing the *true* spirit of RK fans, we are not afraid to laugh at our beloved characters. (note, Aoshi is not being made fun of, so i'm perfectly fine with this. =P) laine did a fine job of 'mutilating' the pictures but personally i think she did a great job of bringing the laughter out of me. =) i happened to chance upon this while searching for Aoshi pictures, so i thought they deserved to be at least seen in the flesh. heh. credits to laine once again. =)

bahhss...how can i ever be forgiven??!!! i didn't post a single picture of my longest-lasting crush (set aside Serami from Akazukin Chacha and all the other Digimon people)!!! bahhs...kk, so now he's HERE!!! hahas, Shinomori Aoshi from Ruronin Kenshin!!! whee...there's simply not enough pictures of him...boos...and the anime doesn't do him justice. but yesh. i love his ice green eyes. whee!!! Athrun has green eyes too. =) random note.


rights, so this is from the anime, and i said that the anime doesn't do him justice. hahas, this is one of his nicer pictures in the anime, though i prefer him in his Oniwabanshuu uniform, the one with two purple ribbons at the side...i can't remember if the anime showed it, but i do know that the manga has it, and i will post in in either this post or the next. so yeah...

ahhs, this costume is his most commonly seen one. i love the trenchcoat...jus that i can't stand yellow...of all colours...his black and blue suit inside is sooo cool, then outside...sighs...sad to say this, but i think i'm happier when his trenchcoat is torn and tattered...looks cooler mahs...the outfit is perfect. save for the yellow. bahhs...

oh, and did i mention that i love his sword too. hahaz, it's a pair of Kodaichi, the short sword used mainly for defense as compared to the long Katana. most samurai carry one Katana and one Kodaichi, but since Aoshi is a ninja, i guess short swords are better for him. he needs no long sword since he's so fast, he can manage to get to the enemy up close. hah. muahs.

yeah! his back view is just as cool and shuai as his front view. ahhh...doesn't he look reliable...heh, i want a ninja like him too!!! he's mine though, hands off. hah. he's taller than most in the series, save for Hiko Seijurou, yeah. at least Aoshi's cooler than Kenshin. heh. he had long hair too, when he was younger, but nobody ever said he looked like a girl. ohoho.

Segara Souzou. leader of some peasant militia which got betrayed by the Meiji Government. also inspired by an actual historical character, either that or some historical event. well, he's Sannosuke's idol and yeah he's a nice guy alright. actually, he comes across as peace-loving, which is why the peasant militia was set up in the first place, to protect the peace of the people. too bad he died such a tragic death. and too bad he has very limited screen time. u'd think that a bishie like him would get more time on the screen...ehhs, i like the uniform of the group, it's nicer compared to the Police uniform of RK...and yeah, i will go read up on my Jap history to properly explain the events. =)

Soujirou. the always-smiling guy. yeah, he's cute. and i think he's rather similar to Okita Souji of the Shinsengumi. except that Okita has a worse split personality than Soujirou. ehhs...majority of the cool and bishie characters 'spawn' (heh, too much Granado Espada) during the Shishio arc (techinally speaking, it's called the Kyoto arc, but heck). yeah...so i enjoyed the manga from 10 onwards. =) more eye candy mahs. ehhs, Soujirou's story is rather tragic too, so yeah. basically, no one has a fairytale in RK, so go figure how emo it can get at times. hah. but i shed no tears while reading RK. >.<

ENISHI!!! poor guy got left out of the anime and squeezed into the OVA. he's the brother-in-law of Kenshin and he's wayyy cooler than Kenshin. i still can't figure out if Enishi is the head of a mafia group in China, or that he's some underworld boss. either way yeah, he's a little psychotic. his love for his sis is also a little overdone. but other than that, he's great eye candy. =)

his style is rather similar to that of Saitou, except his is definitely more Sino influenced. ehhs, i like his scheming skills. to think that he thought of using a puppet to fool the Kenshin-gumi. but then again, my Aoshi outwitted his schemes. ohoho. hmms, Enishi would definitely be one of my favourite characters, only that he's a little too extreme when it comes to his sis. bahhs, stupid Tomoe, why should she get all the attention. hah.

heh. Hiko Seijurou and Kenshin (Shinta) when he was young. he was sooo cute...so chibi...whatever happened along the way?? oh well, Hiko is one of the cooler characters in RK, well, actually most of the characters are cool. hahaz. ehhs...jus that Hiko is a little...too well-built...if i remember correctly, his height is somewhere around 1.9m plus. that's waaaayyy beyond the average Jap guy height. even Aoshi is considered too tall at roughly 1.7m plus. yupps. Hiko should get more screen time, since he's way cooler...jus wish he appeared more...and my favourite scene of Hiko is when he fought the giant Fuji in the Shishio arc. whee. cool.

Yahiko is the youngest and the noisest member of the Kenshin-gumi. well, he's generally tolerable as the kid in the group. again, his costume is yellow shirt with green top in the anime...and that's again unbearable...i can't stand his yellow shirt. bahhz. then again, i can't stand Kaoru's yellow kimono either. heh. i guess yellow is just too bright to use in anime...especially as clothing...well, Yahiko had his coolest scene in the Shishio arc too. when he fought that bat guy, he was way cool. yeah. cool is the word to describe every single character in RK. there's no better word than that. =)

Saitou Hajime. he too, like Kenshin, Aoshi, Kanryuu, Hanya, is based on a historical character. only that his name is relatively closer to his character model's name. i think i mentioned it somewhere in my other blog, under some history facts that i was quoting about Peacemaker. four out of five of these people are present in Peacemaker. Hajime Saitou as Hajime Saitou, Aoshi as Hijikata Toushizo, Kanryuu as a minor soldier also by a similar name, and Hanya as Susumu. yupps. Kenshin is missing. aww...ehhs, i like Saitou's sword style, Gatotsu. it's rather unique and it's really cool. i dunno, but i think his sword style is the only one the anime was actually able to animate properly...Kenshin's style is usually done away with a shiny, or a bright flash of light, or a super fast action, such that the actual style can't really be seen in terms of body motion. so yeah. Saitou's can more or less be seen. =) Aku Soku Zan! nice motto too.

the Shinsengumi. the main characters in Peacemaker/Kurogane. ehhs, the top one is Okita Souji, the others i can't recognise. ^.^ heh, if i'm not mistaken, the guy carrying the spears goes by the name of Segara or smt like that. the old man carrying the flag is the leader of Shinsengumi. his name i didn't bother to remember. ehhs, can u spot Saitou? he's the guy sticking out behind the flag. =)

yesh, the Kenshin. the main character of the show. duh...well, i think this is from the manga, since the anime din have the Enishi arc, either that or it's from the OVA. but the OVA's style is different, so it's from the manga. ehhs...i like the art style, the lines are cool and yeah, the black and white effect works. =) who doesn't recognise the 'X' scar on his face...yupps. nice picture. =) nice pose Kenshin.

ehhs, well, i much prefer the Battousai than the Rouni Kenshin, for the very simple reason that he's cool. technically speaking, they're both the same person, but i prefer the sharper version of the 'baka deshi'. though this wallpaper's kinda scary...esp during the 7th month huh...ehhhs, the pict is from Kenshin's younger days, coz the hair is tied up higher...and well, he's the Battousai in his younger days mah...so yeah. again, nice black effect. =)

this is definitely from the manga, coz it's on one of the cover pages. yupps, the manga's style is slightly nicer than the anime's style...somehow, the people in the manga look more proportional than in the anime. also, the manga's storyline is nicer. =) more Aoshi mah...ehhs, the manga art style is more realistic and serious, coz the colour in the anime makes the show look rather cheerful. not to say that it's a sad show, but well, samurai story ought to be a little more serious. or so i think. yeah, nice pose Kenshin. *cough* (i know i'm being biased, coz i'm talking more about the show than about Kenshin. =P)

ORO! Seshya wa baka degozaimasu. yupps. that's the way Kenshin talks. when he's in his ORO mode that is. he sure doesn't do that in a battle. thank goodness his bakaness stops where the battles start. =) i dunno, his speech is kinda cute...he calls himself 'seshya', reminds me of how Sesshoumaru calls himself 'kono Sesshoumaru'...both are like refering to oneself as 3rd person...and he ends with 'degozaimasu' like how Chichiri ends with 'na no da' and that Prince of Tennis idiot with 'da ne'...hahaz, the chibis are cute. =)

i think this is a fan art...but yeah, the person also thinks his back view is darn cool. =) yupps, see i told ya the trenchcoat is nice...it's just the yellow. yellow doesn't go with purple...so why the heck...the colour is a little off sia...bahhz. so, as i said, the manga is better. u dun get to see the ugly yellow on my perfect Aoshi. =)

hehs. the pict on the left is from the Shishio arc. the only time Aoshi made a mistake. but he rectified it soon enough. =) smart. the pict on the left is from the Kanryuu arc. that's the time he got shot by the Gattling Gun. and that was the time i forever remembered the Gattling Gun. as the thing that shot my Aoshi's legs. ahhh....well at least he didn't die. *phew*

yupps. as promised. Aoshi's twin Kodaichi. i can't find the pict of him pulling it out of the sheath, but i found the pict of him wielding it. better huh. and that's my favourite costume of Aoshi. the one with two ribbons at the side. makes him look rather elegant doncha think. and see the destruction he's causing with two Kodaichi? yeah man...=)

yupps, i like the effect, though it's just photoshop...hahaz, yeah, one of his very few wallpapers. =) he's a bishie. no doubt about it. =) muah.

this is the pict of Aoshi from his younger days. not that he's very old...i would say about mid-twenties? definitely younger than Kenshin. but so much more mature and reliable. =P he's a genius too, he was the Okashira of the Oniwabanshuu at the age of 16. that's how old i'm now. hahaha. imagine being the leader of a whole army of ninjas at 16. haha, my army will just die off...jus like how my Granado Espada guys die. hahaz. oh, did i mention that Aoshi is based on an actual historical figure? just like how half of the cast of Ruroni Kenshin are...his character model is Hijikata Toushizo, who is also a character in Peacemaker/Kurogane. well, all i can say is that Aoshi is soooo much cooler than his character model. trust me, i've seen his photo...*shivers*

ahhhhhhhhhh so kira-kira!!! whee!!! sakura petals fly fly!!! hahaz, this is one of my favourite picts of Aoshi...coz he's sooo cool! well, i've been saying that all the time but hey, he's my longest-lasting crush. give him some credit for that. =P see his twin swords? hahz. i want them too....maus....

finally, a close-up on Aoshi's face. ahhahaha...there isn't a coloured picture of him close-up, so this will have to do. yupps, cool, shuai and mysterious as usual. he really doesn't talk much. and he smiles even less. if i remembered correctly, he smiled only twice in anime, twice in the manga and once in the artbook. the total is even less than Amon from Witch Hunter Robin! but well, it will be out of character for him to smile too much. it's like...Tezuka grinning. yupps. definitely out of character to smile, so keep it that way Aoshi. then u won't get wrinkles as soon as Kenshin. =P

i realised that i haven't posted any mecha picts for Gundam SEED/Destiny yet. weird huh, since Gundam SEED is a mecha anime, how can there be no mecha picts?! so yupps, here's the first batch of mecha. =) they're all darn cool aren't they. =P


here's the Akatsuki Gundam. <3 i just love the many guns on it. it's rather similar to Mua La Fraga's Mobile Armor, in the sense that it has guns which can detach from it and move independently of the main craft. coolness. =) i happen to have the model kit for it, and that is one of my more expensive sets, so i shall have it displayed in a display casing, once i get the box that it. =) i'll post picts, dun u worry.

aha, here's another of my favorite mecha. i think i've mentioned somewhere earlier. it's the METEOR unit. ehhs, it has many many beams emitting from it, and it's kinda like a power-up for the Gundams. =) the battleship Eternity is the main carrier for these two METEOR units, so i guess they're really unique huh. i've never seen the Akatsuki attached with this unit, but it says so on the box that the Akatsuki is compatible too. hmm...Akatsuki on its own has the battlepower to sink many ships...with the METEOR attached...woah.

heh, Athrun's first Gundam. ignore the Zaku he piloted in the first episode. =) it can morph into a Mobile Armor, so i guess that gives it an up on speed and mobility. other than the fact that it's rather oddly shaped (like it can't really balanced properly), it's a nice model. at least better than the Justice...

Freedom. the main unit in both SEED and Destiny. it's practically invincible, unless u count the time that stupid Shinn sank it...but well, it Shinn hadn't sunk it, Kira wouldn't have gotten the Strike Freedom from Lacus. so yeah. Strike Freedom is rather similar to Freedom except for the gold trimmings and the increased firepower. it's a nice model. =) i like the wings on Freedom. they're much nicer that the butterfly-laser wings on the Destiny Gundam that Shinn has. the butterfly makes it look weak...the angelic wings on Freedom and much more grand. i guess that's why it's the main unit. =) i'm getting my hands on the model kit soon...eyeing the Lightning Edition, but the stock doesn't seem to be coming in. >.<

rights. Mizu as Death. heh, droolable, but i still think Zunko's the best (i know i'm biased and i dun care *sticks tongue out*) and hey, no fair that Mizu's sword is bigger...hmph. but never mind, Zunko looks better. <3 i like the fur on Mizu's costume though. the series of costumes for Mizu suits her...Zunko would have looked weird in this...somehow, it's just more Mizu than Zunko.

nice vampire-ish effect. even more droolable...i like the red and black combi. makes the costume much more effective.

sorry, can't help but put this picture in...this is the only time i can laugh, rolling on the floor at Elisabeth. Zunko's one is droolable, mauable, cryable, but not laughable. so yeah...just so happens that Mizu and her Rudolph are in the same pose at the same time...and btw, i dun like this Rudolph...Komu was so much better...with Zunko especially...=) Zunko <3
