Lies So Sweet, part 1 (full version)

Note: Just a short “what if” I wrote that has randomly turned into yet another full-blown multipart fic that will never get finished. Just throwing it out b/c of the sad lack of FFX fics in general right now (declining fandom?? TT_TT).

EDIT: Sorry, my layout now makes italics blue if you view it within the layout. :( Not intended. But just click the link to the post, should be ok.

I've been searching for ... well, ever. But I finally was able to locate videos of the cutscenes from the Japanese version of FFX. And I was on the verge of purchasing the NTSC-J version of FFX at an exorbitant import price, too, just to see them, so this is especially awesome.

Note: Just a very short prelude of a “what if” I wrote just now when I was trying to work on another S/Y fic XD ... going continue if I get inspiration. Just throwing it out b/c of the sad lack of FFX fics in general right now (declining fandom?? TT_TT).

Top left pic makes me have serious Fullmetal Alchemist military deja vu. Pics from Random Curiosity.

OMG, the irony.

OK, so I read about this one series from Studio Gonzo, called Pumpkin Scissors (just ignore the silly name; if you liked the military cast in Fullmetal Alchemist or like not-too-gritty early-1900s-esque military anime, you'll like it). It sounded exactly like something I'd like, so I watched it on crunchyroll and veoh (you have to register and turn off the parental controls to see it on veoh, though). And lo, it was awesome.

Because very, very few anime catch my attention like this these days, I immediately looked it up all over the place to check out the Pumpkin Scissors fandom. Being the fangirl that I am, I was really excited because totally thought it would have a decent-sized English following since it came from Gonzo and is pretty likable.

And then... surprise! There's only a very small following (about 60 people on LJ), and little to no actual fandom.

But now I really like Pumpkin Scissors.

Woe is me. ;_;

UPDATE: OK, so technically Pumpkin Scissors sucks with all its cliches and WTF and plot holes and "oh whatever!" moments, but I'm on episode 18 and still watching it. It must be doing something right. I just have to figure out what. XD

For me, it's just that it has a lot of cool subject matter and interesting plot ideas (that I have the oddest feeling will never be fully developed by the end of the show).

I guess I'll just wait for its imminent NA release to see how popular it will get ...
