Well, the gakuhai fandom has gone into uproar upon the release of Moon Child in the US. (and Canada? Someone fill me in there.) Personally, I'm finding it hard to get terribly excited on the whole prospect.

I have yet to see the infamous movie which has spawned so many of the fans within the fandom (Personally, I liked the couple before I even knew there was a Moon Child movie.) but I have serious doubts about it. From the reviews I've been hearing, it's not that good of a movie. The only people who seemed to really enjoy it were overly-hormonal 14-16 year olds. (Not that there's anything wrong with 14-16 year olds, but I hardly think they're a good judge for how good a movie is when their favourite (really hot) singer(s) are in it, right?)

I have no doubt that I will see the movie eventually. I mean, I'd like to, just to see what all the hullabaloo is about if nothing else. Hell, I'll probably even like it, seeing as I have a thing for campy B movies. However, if I see one more person join

gacktxhyde and start their intro post with "I love Gackt and I'm only just getting into Hyde now because he was so hot in Moon Child Oh.Em.Gee.One.One." I do think heads are going to start rolling.

THERE'S MORE TO THE FANDOM THAN JUST ONE FUCKING MOVIE. GET OVER IT.

Thank you. nutmeg's going to go over there *points* and fume quietly, now.

<EDIT> Amazon.ca has it. That means it's in Canada. (For those who don't know, Amazon.ca is one of the worst places for getting anything. Usually, one just goes to Amazon.com, as they have a better selection. Why? I'll never know, but it's all good.) But... it's $30. Holy fuck.
However, it seems Blockbuster.ca and Chapters.ca do not have it. Hmmn. </EDIT>

Yes, Capcom. They need to do a new DS game (that actually HAS my Hsien ko in it >:O) for the PS2. I have a copy of the original game, but not the mod chip to play it, which is sad. And... new comics is evil, as I am "teh broke".

Beast of Blood followed by Illuminati and then Forbidden (Moi dix Mois). Well, for real "JRock". Yeah. That would've been enough to scare most normal people straight out of the fandom. I've been listening idly to JPop and not really knowing what it was since I was about 13, though. (Thank you, Sailor Moon and DDR.)

I only like about 6 Gackt songs. The rest... I'll listen to, but I'm more sort of indifferent on them. Yeah. Not a huge fan at all. I'm absolutely fascinated with his personality, though. I download a lot of video clips and stuff, because he's a very interesting individual, even if I'm not a huge fan.

And don't worry, I'm quite enjoying the discussions my little rant seems to have generated. ^^;

I learned of DS actually from a Marvel vs Street Fighter game. Haven't seen the actual DS game. but I'm sure I'd love to play should a new one for PS2 come out. The comics are tempting, but seeing as I haven't the slightest clue where to buy them, I'm not to concerned with them.

Sailor Moon and DBZ are like Gackt. As you've mentioned, they're the "gateway drug." Sailor Moon was my first anime~ And DDR, God, I've just started on it...played like 5 times and I'm still on light. -_-'

Gackt's interviews cease to amaze me, that's for sure. PVs are rather interesting as well.

I've certainly enjoyed reading your views. ^^ I should shoot myself and collapse now or else that Chemistry test I'll certainly fail tomorrow morning. Turning in early tonight...gnight. ^^
