Tonight's Monster, though brutal and shows more action, is too narrative and straightforward - too dull and not entertaining. The usual episodes offer suspense along with more clues about the "Monster" in Johann's mind, but I'm totally clueless today. Why are the Turks involved now? The plan to burn down the Turkish district might be an intended-cliffhanger, but it helps not with the flow of the storyline. Everything seems utterly distant today, no engagement of the audience. Tenma was brutally beaten up, andI was like going, er... okay... so you beat him up, but how's that gonna help you bring Johann closer to the audience? Beats me.

Watched at least eight episodes of Junni Kokki in one seating. Gawd, brain-freeze now. And very confusing, since the storyline is now bouncing to and fro the 12 Kingdoms. Twelve, mind you! @_@ But very commentable character development - especially regarding Yoko and Keiki. Suzu (is that her name in the Jap-dub?) and the Princess are total bitches. And both of them desires to meet Yoko - dotz... Keiki, bring your Empress and flee from them... Gosh, I love Keiki's change of expression in one of the episodes. But his heart still has a lot to learn.

Surprise! Yujia (now in Deutschland) is watching Inuyasha AUF DEUTSCH. =_= Okay, she wins. She totally wins... And found herself drooling over Sesshoumaru-sama! XD XD XD
Sesshoumaru-sama is Bishounen-love! Yay!
