Well...every time I hear that song, 'Girlfriend', I want to gouge my own ears out. And I have this issue with getting songs I despise stuck in my head... So I understand.
It's a shame, though, because such interesting things can be done with magical prophecy. In this fantasy series I'm re-reading, The Sacrifices Arc, there are prophecies which are always shifting and reacting to the world around them, and sometimes when people try to act on the prophecies and muck them up, the prophecies shift massively. And then there are necromancers- necromancers see the death of everyone they, ah, see. Those deaths are unchangeable (though it's my theory that this is largely because necromancers' vows prevent them from speaking of those deaths to anyone, and since they view the dead as their kin, they don't have the drive to avoid their own deaths, either...) Um, anyway. Sorry for babbling.
Just remember Johan, just remember Johan... I need something to look forward to, after all!
It does. Damn it.
Whereas even the Orichalcos Arc at least gave us some nice new music, if not much else. And I've heard Kenzan's back-story, it's just..must they continue to rape canon? How does anyone think that a duelist with dinosaur DNA is a good idea?
XD
Oh dear... Poor Manjoume.
And you're really in top snarky order tonight! *salutes*
