Seirei no Moribito is the story of Balsa, a warrior woman looking to atone for the lives she took by saving one life for each she took. It’s a beautiful Production IG show.
The hair stylist leaned against the wall backstage and took a long drag from a cigarette. Unity Yuno said hello to the crowd and it was all cheers and flash bulbs. Tonight, everyone was Mr. Low Angle.
“I’ve done something bold and unique,” she said, talking about the dyed flowers in Unity Yuno’s hair. “And all those poor slobs want to do is look at her panties.”
I stood in Chris’ dorm room looking over the pictures she tacked onto the cork board above her desk. We had just gotten back from winter break and were doing the so how was it conversation. Our voices seemed to carry since the dorm was nearly empty. Most everyone would come back tomorrow, so the quiet in the hall felt alien. I liked getting back on campus as soon as possible, my home life is great, so don’t read anything about that into it, just, wandering through an empty campus feels like the world ended and I was left behind to remember it. Don’t ask why that mood appeals to me, but it does.
Tomorrow (12/20) at around 7pm eastern standard time, I’ll be jumping in on Len-Vesper’s livefeed to hang out for a little bit. If you’re around and want to see how boring I am, stop by — details on the live feed are here.
I’ve been waiting to see Seirei no Moribito for quite a while. I saw a fight scene clip at Otakon 2007 at a Geneon panel and I was hooked into wanting to see it. Spears make for interesting weapons. First, they are primitive, low class, and generally considered low skill weapons. So when I saw a spear wielding female warrior dictating terms of battle to four “samurai” the underdog cheering blood vessels pumped with glee and it went on the get list.
I facepalm twenty seven times a day and almost always Haruhi Suzumiya triggers the reaction. That doesn’t even count the times I do it on the inside whenever I cross the threshold and walk into the SOS Brigade club room each day. She’s fairly ridiculous, but she gets away with it. Everyone lets her, because the truth is, overlooking the lack of concern or compassion for what anyone else might want, the lack of tact, manners, or all sorts of things people do to make conversations run smooth, and never mind she does everything at someone else’s expense, the truth is, Haruhi is amazing. I can’t believe I just said that.
