YGO manga!
Sep. 8th, 2005 04:08 am**puurrs.** Look at the purty icon Aubrie made! =3 The German lyrics are from a song, and it translates to "Master, Master, give me roses." XD She says she always thinks of Siegfried now when she hears the song.
**flops over.** I am so tired. -.-; I haven't been getting much sleep of late.
I had to take the stuff back to the library earlier. Along the way we stopped at Barnes & Noble so that I could look for Alucard's alias in volume 3 of the manga, because I didn't want to have to search through the online manga translation for it. However, B&N didn't have any Hellsing manga at all. .__. I was rather stunned. XD; I did find the last Duelist Kingdom volume of YGO, however, and I bought that. I'm getting slightly more interested in the manga now that we're approaching Battle City. XD; I'll probably be collecting it regularly now.
I dunno, though . . . the manga never has had the appeal for me that the anime does. I thought it seemed kinda farfetched in this one that Pegasus broke down and told Yami Y about how he got the Eye, when their duel was done. The anime version seemed more plausible, where Pegasus was mentally broken and left the room. Then when the others chased after him, they found the diary in the tower and Téa read it. I just don't see Pegasus telling Yami Y all his deepest secrets. And his grand plan to bring back his wife failed. Why shouldn't he be broken, as he was in the anime? Plus, Pegasus is funnier in the anime. XD; His best lines are mostly there.
And the whole thing with Bandit Keith was just weird. Penalty games are based on illusions, right? What he saw must have been an illusion, hence, is he really dead in the manga? If he's dead, the only explanation that's logical is that because he believed he saw a gun, his body reacted as if there was a gun, and he actually did die because he fully believed that he had been shot in the head. You know, that's the way Jin-E from Rurouni Kenshin played his mind tricks.
Viz did a whacked out translation with Mokuba. What the heck is up with him going "Kaiba"?! He would say "Seto." Oy. That just looks so wrong that I feel like whiting out him saying "Kaiba" and replacing it with "Seto." **smile.**
I did enjoy the scene where everybody was crammed into the helicopter. XD That was great. I wish the anime had done that. Seto looked so irritated! I also liked where Seto saw his younger self and the doppelganger led him out of the dungeon cell.
It's hard to really explain why I don't like the manga as much. When I write stuff down, it just doesn't look right. XD; I just know that I prefer the way the anime handled things, for the most part. Maybe it's just because it's ingrained so deeply in my mind, or maybe it's because in the anime, I see new scenes with my favorite characters (and no, I'm not just referring to the anime-only characters). Some of it may be that the manga's too gory, but I know that isn't it all the time.
Speaking of gory . . . I oddly enjoyed the page where Yami B was licking the Millennium Eye. XD; Good opportunity for Pegasus hurt/comfort.... Takahashi-sama, if I remember right, said that Pegasus might as well be dead because he was no longer needed in the story, but he didn't come out and flatly say that indeed, Pegasus was dead. Of course he isn't, in the anime. But there's no concrete proof that he's dead in the manga, either. For my part, I'll probably say that he's not dead there, either.
And for the last week or so, I've been pondering over an interesting idea. Alexander said that he's always existed. What if Alister met him when Alister was a child? I wrote this scene of their meeting. I know it leaves a lot of loose ends, but I plan to tie those up. Perhaps Alexander has no memory of this meeting now, just as Alister does not. But as you can see, Alexander was not greatly different then as compared to now.
