やっぱオリジナルキャストは一番でしょう。

Rewatched DL1. Oh, how I miss them. ;_;

DL1 is so much fun... and the Ichinen Trio got lots of screentime (ah, I love them)... and OMG, so much original cast awesomeness...

Naoya, you're so cute... Souta, you're so dorky... TakiEiji, you're so super-hawt!no-nonsense!Buchou... Kime, you're so キラキラ... Nagayan, you're so bouncy... Tuti, you're so leadery... Abe, you're so perfectly BAHNING... MoriEiji, iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou...

Mm, maybe I'm kind of mean to be exalting the original cast when the second cast just graduated, but seriously... Ah, I won't bash, because they're all nice kids who've worked really hard. I just prefer the original cast... and all of the rival schools, too. I never warmed up to the second cast (with the exception of Araki and Shirota (Data wa Uso wo Tsukanai is amazingly well-sung and Shirota's just so memorably weird, even though he completely destroys Buchou's image... then again, I'm obligated to like him because he was frickin' Tuxedo Kamen in Seramyu))...

But really... DL1 brings me back to the days when I wasn't bored by myu!Seigaku's antics and when I didn't think that the myu boys did the stupidest things or the weirdest dances (or maybe it's just that the things that the original cast did were stupid or weird, but they could somehow pull it off fabulously without being annoying or ridiculous or "WHY THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE MOMO WIGS?!"). Maybe Ueshima-sensei's to blame for the new strangeness... he's been running too long on the treadmill of crack, perhaps, but if that's the case, then why is it Fudomine's still unforgettable and SeiRu's still goofy!cute and Buki's still pseudo-interesting-for-a-school-that-I-never-took-interest-in and Hyoutei's still wickedly hot when Seigaku a la the second cast is... childish and bland?

I'm really coming off as an elitist bitch, aren't I?

Maybe that's what's keeping me from liking the second cast in the first place... I went into Bukimyu with the mentality that no one could beat the original cast, but realistically speaking, I just never enjoyed the second cast, no matter how hard I tried. Even the theoretically cute, comedic, cracky, slashy things they did rarely brought a smile to my face. The chemistry's not there. The energy is lacking. The passion just doesn't come through.

And maybe they took it too seriously at first since they knew that they had big shoes to fill, but once they finally were able to loosen up, they just ended up being asinine. Behind the scenes, they're wonderful... they have a lot of fun, and watching them in the backstages is pretty interesting... but they just fall flat on stage, and for that alone, I can't help but like the original cast better.

Maybe I was expecting too much from them, considering just who they were following (and how much I liked said predecessors)... but I should be allowed to expect a lot from them, shouldn't I?

In other news, I need to finish my Kamakari gift package gift. O_O!!

P.S. I'm practicing my janken. It's kinda lame when you have no one to play against, though. :(

Heh, actually, I'm more of a newbie than you are. I only got into Tenipuri about 11 months ago, and Tenimyu a few months after that. But I guess the difference is that I watched everything in order, and by the time I watched Bukimyu, my love for the first cast was already well-established. And then DL2 came out, and I thought it was the stupidest thing ever, so that didn't help my opinion of the second cast. ^^;;

And yes, go back and watch the first cast stuff. >< Gosh, it's been too long since I've watched them myself, but I always love going back and watching the earlier myus because they're the ones that made me fall in love with Tenimyu, and they make me all nostalgic and stuff. Mm~, yes.

I think it's easier for us to have access to new cast stuff, too, since it seems that there's been an influx of fans on our end. More fans = more things bought/shared = more fangirling to be had. And it's harder to keep up with the goings-on of the first cast, because they've kind of faded into the background with all of the happy D-Boys stuff flooding the scene, so yeah, I think I know where you're coming from. (An American reference? On my LJ?! Gasp. XD) Heh, critique away, but remember that it's all in the name of good fun. I'm hard on them because, well, I really like the first cast, but that doesn't mean they're bad or anything. They've improved a lot, those kids, even if I don't think they're great. :3

HYOUTEI. OMG. I can't begin to explain how much I love that cast. When I first saw him, I didn't think Katou was a great Atobe, to be honest, since I kind of unintentionally compared him to the smex that is Suwabe Junichi, but he's grown on me. And he's such a dork, OMG. >< But yeah. Hyoutei cast = orgasmic... Hyoutasmic? I dunno. XD And KamaDate, OMG. They make me like RPS. >< Kamakari's definitely the seme in their relationship. Either that or he's loud and stuff because he's in denial of his ukeness. Heh, that boy reminds me way too much of Shishido. XD

But yeah. Seriously. I love the Hyoutei cast. Every single one of them. SO MUCH.

The blood of love? XDD Nice. And seriously, I was kind of hoping that the Ichinen Trio would never have to graduate. They didn't graduate with the first cast, so I was hoping that they (along with the rival schools and Nanjirou) would be the constants that would stick around forever, but I guess they have their own things to do, too. :( Shall miss those kids.

Ah, yes, I read the new Kaidoh... I hope he's okay. I was really looking forward to seeing all of the new cast, but I guess it'll have to wait. ~_~ And I'm sure it's not as serious as Yanagi's accident. You have to be in tip-top condition to be able to participate in something as physically trying as Tenimyu, so it isn't necessarily a huge "holycrapno" thing like it was for Yanagi. Still, I'm still sad, but I'm looking forward to his return. Ganbare, new!Kaidoh-kun~!

(No worries. Long comments are fun. XD)

Oh, that's almost a relief, because all things PoT seem to have been established a long time ago; after all, the copyright thing on the anime (since I was watching the dub, lolzomgwtf, and noticed this) was on 2001. o__o Actually, looking back, I think I watched them somewhat in order (I have a meme about Tenimyu, and it's all Old!Cast. :O) but unfortunately, by the time I made a real leap into the tenimyu fandom, it was New!Cast time.

Well, thank god Nagayan has a huge fanbase on the tenimyu community, not to mention his own fancommunity, or else I would be pissed liekwoah. *Pnish* stuff is fairly easy to find as well, which is great, because my old!cast favorites are Naga and MoriEiji. However, if you were, say, a... I don't know, hardcore Abe fan? I would imagine it would be close to impossible to find stuff about him, mostly because there seems to be no hardcore Abe fans actively seeking him out. A shame, really, since Abe is cool, yo.
I'm dead serious about going back and watching the older myus, though. :D it's the summer, not like I don't have time... Now, where did I put MTL?...

HYOUTEI = <3! This is a personal thing going, but I was going to get seriously pissed if they didn't pick a cute, actually acrobatic Gakuto, but THEN THEY WENT AND DID IT AND I WAS HAPPY YAY. Takumi is smex on a stick and perfect for the role, and like... Yes. We've been over KamaDate, and how they win at life and are so SilverPair. TAKUYA was ghetto-fab, and he was a nice Jirou too. Even Kabaji and Hiyoshi's actors win at their roles.
XDD @ the smexy Suwabe Junichi comparison, though, they both can sing!~ Although unfortunately Kazuki's real singing voice is rather... high. o__o A tenor, I think. But he makes an amazing on-stage Atobe, complete with the evil eye of Ore-sama-ness. XD A

HYOUTASMIC. ABSOLUTELY HYOUTASMIC. <3

Come to think of it, the blood of love sounds vaguely PuriPuri-ish... made me think of Adachin's "PEACE OF DANCE! :D" speech. ^^;;
But yeah, I suppose the ichinen have better things to do with their time... *sigh* Better paying things, since we know they're talented. D:

For all we know, he could have just sprained his ankle or something. *sigh* Get well soon, new!Kaidoh~ <3
I really am excited about the 3rd!Cast, though. The New!Eiji, although being yet another D-BOY, looks actually Eiji-ish (Probably because he looks like a cat, imo. o__o) and New!Ryoma is adorable (finally, a Tenimyu boy younger than I am! :O) and yay at all the others. Everyone else is like "Boo. A new!cast. Wannn~ T_T" but I think we should give 'em a shot, ne?

Hehe, it's kind of funny that I feel like I've been in the fandom for a long time. I dunno, I guess it's because the person who got me into it has been in it for waaaaay long, so I always feel like a veteran when I talk to her. XD Or maybe because my sense of time has been skewed to the point of no return, and a couple of days feels like weeks now. ^^;;

Abe. OMG. He has the best floral print shirts ever. That's all I have to say. XDD And I think a few people still keep up with his blog (though I'm not sure how often he posts), so he can't be that difficult to track. ^^;; But yeah, there are some hardcore TutixNagayan fans who make it really easy to keep track of them. >_> MoriEiji is my favorite old cast fella, too. :3 But then KENN and Kamakari came around, and I was like, "Screw Seigaku, whut?" and that was that. ^^;;

OMG, Aoyagi is so cute and acrobatic. Horrible, horrible cradle-robber bait, since about 95% of the fandom is older than he is, but he's perfect. And bouncy. :3 And I'm not a huge fan of Saito, actually (well, I don't dislike him, but Kamakari sort of pwns all, so it's not his fault), but he does make a very yummy Oshitari. And he does have a nice voice, holygeez. Hahaha, Takuya is ghetto-fab. I love pretty Asian boys who can breakdance. :D And Washimi is the cutest big man I've ever seen. I want a plushie of him or something. >< Kawai's abso-frickin'-lutely adorable, and he's a kickass Hiyoshi to boot. I love his part in Aitsu koto ga Tennis no Oujisama. It's definitely the best part.

And yes. Katou. (He gets his own paragraph break.) He makes an awesome Atobe, and his Katobe is better than his normal singing. >< But he's best when he's being a perv/dork on MabeRajio. :3

And yeah x 1000000000 for KamaDate. Kamakari specifically. Well, Date, too, because he's so cute and about a month younger than me, and wow do I just want to find him one day and hug him. :3 But Kamakari's my man. I'm so obsessed. So cute and bouncy and fluffy and Kansai-hen ya de and smoldering when he wants to be and stuff. And him? I'd find him and hug him and drag him to the airport and take him home and keep him all to myself in my little corner of America.

He's a frickin' wallet raper, I tell you. :/

OMG, "Peace of Dance". Don't remind me. I was somewhere between "O_o" and ";_;" and "X_x". It was... yeah. O_O;; But I think the Ichinen do have their own things. Hotta does things with *pnish* every now and then, actually. :3 Dunno about the other two, but I'm sure they're around. :D

NEW!RYOMA IS SHOTABAIT. He makes me cry with the cuteness. >< Definitely looking forward to the new cast, yesyes.

Ah, yes, the wonders of summer totally humping our minds. I'm like, oh, today's Wednesday? I thought it was Friday of last week! :D and the rest of my family looks at me weird.

FLORAL PRINT OMG. *suddenly thought of Mizuki* I'm glad people still stalk him, though, because he was cool. :D Oh, yes, the TutixNagayan fans. Kind of scary, but they do seem to have large wallets. All the better for me and you, I suppose. :D Ha, you remind me of my friend, she's a scary, scary, KENN fangirl. Like you and Ken^2, minus the fact that you actually have a wallet. XD We did get the believe single for her birthday, though. :D

95% doesn't include me, unfortunately, (Ahh! I feel so young!) so I can fangirl loudly without pedophiliac repercussions. XDD But he's so much of a baby, compared to the rest of the cast~(Although I think he might be older than Dan's actor, am I right?) I read a fairly hardcore fic with Saitoh x Aoyagi, and I was like, whut? He's 16, gosh. However, Saitoh is pretty dag nummy. :D I'm so glad there are so many pretty break-dancing asians in Asia; it gives my YouTube something to watch. <3 Washimi is not someone I'd really, obsessively fangirl over, but I certainly do admire him and his... wibbliness. XD My vocabulary failed me. Kawai makes me want to give him a hug. <3 A big poofy hug. (Now I have to go back and find his part. XD. *rewatched* OMG YOU'RE RIGHT.)

Katou and his own paragraph break! I like both Katobe and Kazuki-singing-voices. Although, I laughed at the ROUGH DIAMOND cover, because I was like WTF HE LOOKS LIKE SHIROTAN. I generally like listen to MabeRajio, but after awhile my mind hurts, since I'm trying to make some sense of what they're saying and it's not working since my Japanese skills are zero. All I got out of the last one was "Paaakiinggguuuu~" and something about KENN/Aiba's duet. XDD;; Oh, but you do translations, don't you? Mental note: stalk you better.

XDDD;; I would love Kenken more, but you've got
all the love covered. XDD <3 I think it's impossible to love him as much as you do, but wow, he IS adorable and bouncy and kansai-ben yay~

A warning about RLS, though; don't try it at home. One time a couple of friends and I decided, what the heck, let's try to slash some of our guy friends, and the results were rather... um... disturbing. But KamaDate is on that next level, the celebrity RLS level, so it becomes slightly better. I read another fic regarding the two of them, they were playing Strip Jankenpyon. XDDDD I almost shat myself laughing so hard.

Ah, at least you have a wallet that's rapeable. D: Sometimes I can con my friends into ordering stuff for me for my birthday, but alas, the woes of not having a PayPal account/credit card...

That segment made me wonder what kind of drugs they had put Adachin on in order for him to say that. He said it in a strange accent, too, and the .avi file suddenly sprung subtitles, so I was like, uh... omgwtfbbqzorz?

He's going to have thousands of fangirls moaning over their pedophilia. XD Me included. Shota bait, shota bait~ (Although, he's still older than Ryoma should be. o__o It makes me wonder; if they get to 4th!cast, would really will hire a 12 year old? THAT would be interesting.)

Ohhh, it's probably because it's summer!! I thought I was just going insane. ><;; I've had random internal-clock messups before. >_>;;

There was a blog entry Abe wrote once, very enthusiastically, about this ridiculous print shirt (I wish I could find the picture), and he talked about how those types of shirts are his favorite... it was the best thing ever, because you're just like, "Abe... are you serious?" XDD And ohdearlord, IamsuchaKamakarifangirlandeveryoneknowsit. >< It's soooo bad, though, because I feel so ridiculous possessive and stuff, and when someone pops up in the fandom sharing something that I don't have or can't get (which is, like, fifty zillion magazines and whatever DVDs and CDs are coming out soon... I limit myself to the non-magazine printed items for the sake of my wallet/sanity), I sit there thinking to myself, "I LIKE HIM MORE THAN YOU. " Yes, I am a scary fangirl. :/

Aoyagi's so cute. Oh goodness. And you're young, lucky you. You still have some time before people start looking at you and telling you that "you're a bit too old for this type of thing, aren't you?" XD But yeah. RPS fics are scary (but hey, I'm all for KamaDate, i.e. I'm going to hell), and you keep thinking, "These are real people... and some of them are really young..." But Aoyagi's getting older. And taller. Kekeke. XDD

(Mixing the paragraphs up because they relate to each other. XD) Strip janken? The things these people come up with! XDDDD But seriously, you wouldn't believe how loudly I was screaming while Kamakari was pwning everyone, because he's so small and cute and perfectly awawawa, and then he shows up and beats everyone in a stupid game. XD And when Date beat him, OMG, how perfect was that?! ><!!!!!!!!

Shall never try it with friends, though. Ohgod. You guys must be nuts. XDD

And I could go on for ever about the awesomeness of each Hyoutei cast member, so how about a change of pace...? Let's go... SeiRu?! You start. XD

(Also,

moonrainty is the one who does the summaries/translations of MabeRajio. I just share the thing and laugh when I understand something. XD)

(These paragraphs are all over the place now, sorry!) Well, my wallet's theoretically rapeable, but guess who's supposed to be saving up for super-expensive college next year...? >_>;;;;;; But oh well. As long as I come close to $1000 from work this summer, I should be okay. ^^;;;; And be glad you don't have a PayPal account. Seriously. It's the worst thing that's ever happened to me financially. D:

XDD He was doing an "American" accent, I think. And it was supposed to be inspirational and somesuch. Yeah. Adachin. Never liked him. ><;; But the rest of that series is cracky love, yesh. Toothbrush scene made me cry with the beautiful.

Hahahaha, that'd be so messed up to have an actually-12-years-old Ryoma. What a silly idea! Then he'd really be shotabait, and everyone would feel bad about squeeing over him. O_O;;
