Angelique kind of gave me trouble. It's the faces, man, the faces. Those long faces and the long hair. So many great men and not a one of them look like it. To be honest, not a one of them really hit all the right buttons at once for me (though a few come close). Also, Angelique herself looks ugly in the SNES version, Dia is distant and depressing, and Rosalia is (by comparison/for the villain) too close and kind of mean.

Also also, Angelique is not a game that treats Aquarius well, and yes, it is why I have a little complex about my zodiac sign. (Like everyone else. Yeah, so what. T_T)

Having Fujihime sneak into my room at night for slumber parties, girl talk, and the requisite explanations of What's Going On is clearly a whole fucking lot more fun. Why's Yorihisa being such a dick to Tenma? Can I play with your hair? You need a hug, dammit, YOU NEED A HUG RIGHT NOW, you cute squishy little thing. So good job, Ruby Party, you got my attention with Angelique, and now you're going to hold it with Harukanaru Toki no Nakade. There's nothing quite like dragging cute guys around and making them kick ass for you, yessirree.

Hagaren episode 37 is a LOT of fun. Lindsay, you should definitely see this one, plenty of Roy and Havoc, and all the antics that this series is so starved for. ( Cut for a decent likelihood of ruining some good jokes. )

The only thing I'm disappointed with is that they crammed all the hilarity they've been putting off into one episode. I think some of this beautiful hysteria should be shown every week, but noooooo, there's fight scenes and...crap. The funny is just woefully lacking---in fact, the density of everything I want to see is very poorly balanced, and these aren't even things that have a huge impact on the plotline. It's just tiny details that get thrown away instead of being carefully nested in between the rest of the fun, at fairly equal intervals. Okay, there definitely needs to be more Roy. There need to be more antics, more focus on the army types, and less squeezing down to Ed, Al, and the random anime-only jerks that they run into. If there are characters we already know and care about, they should not be screwing around with new ones.
