dzioo | fandom is lame

the reason for me writing it is simple. in the middle of each month, for past 7 years, certain cow has blessed us with one chapter. for me, those are one of the greatest moments of my otaku life. seriously, I HATE series that are too long, because usually, more than 52 episodes of an anime and more than 150 chapters of a manga, streach it to unbearable state. the plot has holes, characters become boring and such. unless the author has a great idea for his/her story...

but recently, my faith for fandom has died. while reading posts on LJ regarding latest Gundam 00 episodes or FMA chapters, it seems to me that people are only looking for "shallow entertainment" in media nowadays. they only care for action, explosions, etc. no need for intelligent plot, characters' development, establishing relationships and introducing secondary characters. when I read statements like "Graham is the only worthy thing in there, the rest is totally pointless" or "it's only worth reading when Roy and Ed are presend, otherwise it's boring" I want to smash someone's head. well sorry!! Graham is kickass, true, but why don't you pay a little attention to the world portrayed, conflicts, relations between countries and fighting fractions? why don't you care for unexpected developments or for other characters taking active part in forming upcoming results? I'm really sorry that you don't care for Hohenheim declaring war to Father or for Marcoh defeating Envy. I know that all you care for is Lockon making up with Setsuna, Graham or whoever else and Ed or Roy just being on panels, not really doing anything. don't get me wrong. Lockon is my fav in G00 universe and Ed is my Fav in FMA universe. but it pains me that people judge a series by amount of yaoi hints, not appreciating interesting universe and scenario. but maybe I'm just growing old....

yes, buy them, for slayers universe is fantastic XDDDD no seriously, if I had them available in poland (as well as the medieval manga) I'd buy them for sure.
I hate her for a few reasons, Paprica being one of them. the movie is great, somehow confusing but VEEERY entertaining. the reason why I hate her is, without reading the info for seiyuus, I didn't know she had roles in there. that's the greatest thing about seiyuus, sometimes it's so hard to distinguish them, yet it's fascinating how many voices one person can manage

people say that his brother will take his place. but that won't be the same lockon ;_; hahahaha well I wouldn't say it's only case in Gundam series XDDD usually, if the director has guts of course, the most likable characters are killed off^^'

I just hope she gets through it.... somehow... now that some of Ptolemayos crew has been killed as well.....

Weeell, it's not like they are everyday items around here either, but sometimes with a little luck it's possible but rarely cheap ^^; stupid english imports...

LOL if you only hate her in that way, I'd say you're fine ^^ It's a fine line between love and hate sometimes XDDD

I hope that rumor is just a rumor. I don't want a Lockon clone I think. Not now when I'm starting to get used to him being dead. But then again, if the director's killing spree continues they're going to have a lot of free positions to fill for the second season ^^;
When people start to talk too freely about their pasts, it's a certain sign they're going to die XDDD

here you cannot even find them, unless you order them from e-bay or anywhere else. they don't import them because it doesn't pay off:/ polish fandom is young, unfortunately

well it's a good kind of hate anyway^^ I still love listening to her, and a few others, but when I find such surprosing roles, I need to bang my head on the wall for missing it^^

it was confirmed that he has a brother, wasn't it? I was surprised that he also had a sister O_o but I agree with you, totally. what wories me more than Lockon's brother, is Nena. she's the only survivor od Trinity siblings, and because Meisters are weak now (it's said that something nasty will happen to Allelujah too) I'm affraid that she'll HAVE to join the:/ and I'd hate that==;

Well, Swedish fandom is young or old it seems, and I'm not sure that's better. Especially when most young ones think english=cooler it must be hard to try to publish translated stuff ^^; And for the mainstream young ones (= naruto-otakus ><) Slayers, GW and their likes are stone-age=boring.

Granted, she's not one that you easily can identify as "oh, that's her voice again". At least I can't ^^

Actually, I don't think I'd hate seeing Nena as a meister ^^; never mind she's a homicidal psycho and would be all over Setsuna unless the recent events have changed her behaviour somewhat ^^;; She's a better option than the Saji-as-meister rumors at least -_-; (And yes, I've seen all the eps by now. That's why I'm back at this thread XD). I'd prefer Felt though, even if it means an increased risk of her being killed off >< And yay for Wang Liu-Mei, she's the closest we've come a woman-to-kick-ass in this series and she's still promising XD
