Aw crud, they took Tales of the Abyss off of Crunchyroll? I know it's great that they can air stuff with permission now, but it means I have to get my online fix elsewhere, and I don't like downloading eps... Oh, well.


And Luke finally stopped being a jerk, too. I swear, he was the most unlikable protagonist I've come across since Light Yagami (What, main characters can't be likable anymore? Granted, ToA is old, but I've never played the game, so...) I didn't even find Luke sympathetic after he got all emo after killing a human, I disliked him that much (I was just screaming at him to grow a backbone :/). I know he's supposed to be a replica and all, but yeesh...

Still, I do like Luke now that he seems to regret his previous behaviour (which may be OOC, but at least I find him likable now :P). I also like the fact that his group didn't readily re-accept him right away... Oh, and I like Luke's new haircut, too. XD For some reason, his long, orange-tipped red hair always annoyed me (as does his bare midriff, but that's beside the point - still, it's as ridiculous on a male swordsman as it would be on a female, which seems much more common ;).

But despite my dislike for Luke (which isn't a problem now) I do enjoy watching the ToA anime... My favourite character? Jade, of course, with Guy a close second (but I already knew that would be the case ;). Now, I'm tempted to get the game, but I just don't care for RTS...


Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a couple of ToA dub eps to catch up with... (There's an aviatrix in this ep, too! XD)

Huh, that's odd. I had no problem watching Episode 14 on that site a few days ago. Then again, [livejournal.com profile] yo_san has trouble with ZOMG Anime, too, for no reason I can discern. o_o;

What's also awesome is, for a Tales game, Jade's an old man--he's thirty-five, same as Dist, and Peony's even a year older. (The next oldest party member is Guy at twenty-one. XD)

I do find Jade's maturity to be one of his selling points. :) I also find it funny that Luke's party has both Anise and Jade, the former being a Lolita character, and the latter being (what I consider to be) its polar opposite: an older, male character who appeals to female fans. XD
