Diary of a tard: Week 2, March 2012

Episode 2 of Ai no Kusabi: The one thing that I noticed the most about this episode is the animation. It makes the wait worth it. Anyhoo, Riki is back at the slum and he met his old friend Guy and the others. Then 10 minutes were wasted in order to let us know that Riki was a former leader of Bison etc etc etc but in the end Riki, Guy and Bisons are all losers. Dafuq? Apparently none of them knew that Riki was a pet once and Kirie, for some reason, puts Riki on edge. Well, maybe because Kirie wanted to be pet when Riki just ran away from that life. Urgh, still no BL action. Fuck this I'm frustrated!

I don't like Riki much but this... hot dayyum!

Kill Me Baby episode 4: It's summer and the gag starts with Sonya and Yasuna eating Popsicle. As usual Yasuna is an idiot. She bought a whole bunch of different ice-cream just so she can win one ice-cream. Naturally Sonya has all the luck with that. The next day, Yasuna still whines about how hot it was so they ended up at the sea with a watermelon and stayed there until night fall. One day, an assassin was after Sonya even at school. Yasuna was dragged into the mess. Luckily Agiri was around to help them out. The assassin came back the next day disguised as Yasuna. I lol'd especially when the real Yasuna played along with them.

she's basically begging for it

I decided to watch Spirited Away to end the remaining hours of my bornday. I think the last time I saw the movie was back in 2003. That's almost 10 years ago. Spirited Away was the first Miyazaki film for me and as such I have such fond memories of it. I remembered being head over heels in love with Haku back then and after rewatching it tonight, I think that love has been rekindled. Spirited Away is about Chihiro who stumbled upon a spirit world with her parent. They ate the foods and turned into pigs. It was Chihiro's mission to save her parent and turned them back to normal. She has helped from Haku, a river spirit that once saved her from drowning. Their love for each other what moves me to love the movie so much. Or maybe I'm just a pedophile when it comes to Haku ♥

First Impression: Ai no Kusabi (2012)

I can't remember the last time I watched yaoi. It has been a while. Since I've been working relentlessly for these past couple of months, I think I deserved a reward. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about this one right here. I have been waiting for it since last year but for some reason they canceled the plan to release it last year and only now did us fans finally manage to get the 2012 version of the legendary Ai no Kusabi. Yeah, if you think you are a fan of yaoi but have never watch the 1992 version, don't call yourself a fan.


The premise of the story is basically the same but with better animation, character design etc. Riki is still Iason's pet, since well... he has black hair and thus automatically made him a mongrel. The blondies are pretty much the men in power and each of them are allowed to take one mongrel from the slum to become their pet. I know... fucked up society is fucked up LOL

I found myself still a bit partial towards Iason. He's just so calm and collected. His behavior as Riki's master is something that I look forward to actually and he's the reason why I fap to this yaoi. Riki for me personally, is a one dimensional character. He's a rebel and that was it. I guess we just have to wait until he realized that he's nothing if he isn't Iason's pet to finally see the other side of his character, if any. This is because Iason has released him and allowed him to go back to the slum. He's a confident buttfucker though and he is just so sure that Riki will be his soon enough. I wish Iason nothing but the best :3

As expected, the animation is crisp and sharp, way better than the 90's version. It sort of reminded me of Togainu no Chi. At certain point, especially when Iason was whispering to Riki's ear as he teased him, I found the animation exceptional what with each of the characters' face expression. It sure is turning me on! If only we get to see more yaoi action... but hopefully good things will come for those who wait.

I like everything about Iason including his voice so I have to compliment Tooru Ookawa for the job well done. Itou Kentarou too is perfect for Riki because he has that rough edges to his voice that showcase the rebellious side of him. He also sounds pretty convincing when he's hot and horny. Heh.

I am currently downloading the second episode of this OVA and can't fucking wait for it to be done. The 2012 version of Ai no Kusabi does not disappoint except for the BL action part. I need to see more of that in my yaoi please...
