Just for the record, I’m taking a hiatus from tumblr for the time being. I will still pop around to check things on here. If you want to contact me for any reason, do let me know, and I’ll probably give you alternate means to do so.

Apparently the new Double Drive manga (yes it's still going) has Dan in it? It's in Ishiki's twitter.

Meh. I noticed but since it’s Isshiki I don’t really care. Wouldn’t be canon anyway, just for fun, since the Double Drive manga changes a lot from the anime.

Can you tell me what thing you dislike about kazuya taiga?

The resolution to his story arc. It managed to be both anti-climactic and not actually solve any of his long-term issues. His story was actually one of the most interesting parts of the show to me, if not the most interesting (save for my wondering about Inui and Tatsumi’s history, but that’s just my shipper heart and the show wouldn’t even touch on that) so the way they “resolved“ it actually left me with a really bad taste in my mouth. It’s just another reason I don’t like the writing in Double Drive.

Ah, it’s true! Drive Head is getting a fanbook in August. I heard people talking about it on Twitter, but couldn’t find the source.

Don’t know if it will be any good, since it seems to be aimed at the target audience (kindergarteners) rather than the adult fans, but I’ll probably order it anyway as long as I can find a site shipping it overseas.

(The Pikaia fanbook was actually pretty good, although that was probably aimed more at the adult fans)

Besides just the song, the second ED to Spider Riders is gorgeous. Koichi Mashimo storyboards, so not surprising.

Spider Riders ED 2

If I come off like I hate Battle Spirits now, I really don’t. It’s just, I have very little interest in the card game itself anymore, and not much interest in the more recent seasons. And there’s simply not much to discuss when there’s no new anime and probably isn’t going to be anymore. I also have zero desire to rank the characters by strength and discuss if X is overpowered. Lots of stuff is overpowered, because the game had an enormous power creep. That’s just the way it works, and it’s definitely a big reason I lost interest in the game. I was never good at card games because I just like to play with cards I like and don’t care about the meta.

I still get intense feels over Toppa Bashin, Gekiha Dan and Brave. Those seasons were the best.

Do you the Dragonhero sieg-yamato-fried is too overpowered? And thats why it come back every time in 2-4 years ago? Explain why?

For the last time, I don’t put any thought into what cards get re-released and why.

[soaker87]

Do you think God king Io is too overpowered for you and explain why?

Actually, I don’t remember what his card does.

[soaker87]

Do you The SnakeMasterDeity Asklepiooze didn't come back in SD27 and that make SD27 suck (I mean not perfect enough)? Explain why?

Nah, I love SD27. Being an Ophiuchus, we know we’re going to be excluded. Even from fortunes. But really, I don’t much care what cards do/don’t get included in re-releases. Most of the time I wouldn’t even notice. To be blunt, I was always more into the characters/shipping than the card game itself, though it’s fun.

On the latest episode of Stupid Things I Shouldn’t be Thinking About, Fake White Hope is actually based off Mikoto’s White Hope pre-beheading, so that would theoretically make it a girl, right?

[soaker87]

Who is better? kazuya taiga or Garudos? Explain why?

Garudos because he's hot.

[soaker87]

This is probably crazy, but since there's still zero news on Gou's upgrade (even Kuroeda's has a picture despite being confirmed not to appear until the movie), what if Interceptor isn't being upgraded at all, and due to the crossover, Gou will actually get to drive a Shinkalion?

Oh! News Channel 6 is now properly labeled as 6. Someone caught their mistake.

Also, Drive Head staff, realize that I’m going to be continuously writing KariSasa AU fic that I’m never posting until you will kindly give me Karigari and his subordinate’s official status during the multi-month time jump. I want to be able to write canon-compliant fic instead of making stuff up, please. I would love if Kurumada would think of contacting him or something to try and figure out what the hell is going on, now that they’re finally aware of the Evil AI’s human form. Not that they’ve made the connection yet, despite it being kind of obvious. I think Gou was a little suspicious at least?

Sala better fall in love with White Pearl Hope, and be torn between Pearl and Crystal. I love Sala x twins.

Also, Kurumada geeking out over his own machines is perfect and I want more.
