"You're just... you're so spare, Cedric! You're so spare!! You're such a spare!!" "KILL THE SPARE."

So. I discovered D. Gray Man, the Abridged Series. I have never seen/read D. Gray Man, but a friend reccomended it to me, and... HOLY SHIT IT'S EPIC. And it makes the fact that I actually own a ShamWOW that much funnier. GO WATCH IT. IT'S ON TEH YOUTUBES.

I'm also finally watching the Death Note anime since I NOW HAVE THE INTERNETS WITH WHICH TO WATCH IT. IT'S AMAZING. It's so well animated, and dubbed so well!! (Yes, I am watching the English dub. I know that the Japanese is the original and all, but I like actually understanding what's being said without having to watch the text flying across the screen more than the animation itself.) Only through episode 7 on my computer though... and then I'm recording from episode 8 on on my TiVo!! DVRs are a beautiful thing.

Lastly... I kinda want to do a voice post. No, I don't know why. But... I dunno what I should do. So... any ideas for voice post memes or anything?

T-there's a D.Gray-man Abridged Series? *___* (Honestly, I can only imagine the jokes write themselves in this one, D.Gray-man is already really cracktastic)

Yep!! It's totally crack-tastic and awesome. I kind of really want to watch the actual series now too- I've heard it's incredibly cracky and all, but... god, I just kind of have to now. XD

Have a link? (Which means I just watched it. Again. For the third time. Today... XD) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tkFO4psSkM

- Shamwow, lolololol it's actually pretty true lololol can't stop laughing
- lmao, what is Chi doing there?
- H & R Block.... loololololol can't stop laughing
- Hilariously enough Allen actually kind of sounds like that in the dub. D:

The series has plenty of crack combined with some really nightmarish scenes. It's worth watching until the Fourteenth arc starts because the manga and anime start deviating. It's probably a better series to watch because the art is pretty wonky and chaotic at times, but if you get hooked to the story you'll end up wanting to continue it. I hate when that happens. :|

So I have a friend who cosplays Allen Walker- next time I see him (probably at NYAF)... I actually own that exact type of orange ShamWOW, and I know he's seen this- I"m going to make him go around the con with one. XD And yeah, Abridged!Allen really kinda does sound like Todd Haberkorn!Allen... it's pretty impressive, really. XD

But yeah, I've already started watching it, and... it's totally cracky and there's barely any plot and all, but it's still so much fun! That's all I want in an anime, really~ And it's the perfect thing to follow my Death Note marathon that I had yesterday- I watched, like, five episodes of it in a row, and as much as I love Death Note, I just got so depressed... this is shonen, so it's all fightery and awesome, but it's still fun and cracky and stuff. XD
