Saiyuki: The Big Damn Movie

mercy_angel_09So I plowed through the first fifty episodes of the Gensomaden Saiyuki, finishing a few minutes ago. I've moved on to The Big Damn Movie, which is the swan song of ADV's dub and comes directly after Gensomaden Saiyuki and before Saiyuki RELOAD. Needless to say, there's a hilarious commentary with the English cast and plenty of funny stories (like Greg Ayers - Goku - ripping his pants during a recording session) and waxing poetic about their last effort on the series, after they lost the bid for RELOAD. I'm not watching with the commentary this go 'round (maybe tomorrow, pending how things go), but since it's been a while, I may just watch it to watch it before starting dinner and call it quits on the sewing for today (but more on that later).
Saiyuki: Requiem For The One Not Chosen, or Saiyuki: Requiem as most of the fandom calls it, is 90 minutes of chaos in the Saiyuki verse. I say "chaos" because there's action, humor, batshit crazy antagonist, and more infamously, Gojyo's shower scene. I think it's one of the few times I've ever seen![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sideshow_ericka want to lick the TV. The time we watched it on my parents' TV (a 61 inch behemoth) she nearly started petting the screen. I'm wondering just how good it'll look on my slightly smaller but hi-def TV. So maybe I get a Big Damn Nosebleed from watching the Big Damn Movie.
Anyway, the bodice is now more or less constructed. I've been pinning and gathering fabric for the rouching, which is taking more time than I anticipated. Of course it probably doesn't help that I've been fighting the fabric. Crepe back satin is lovely, but boy is it a pain the ass to work with.
And ho-shit shower scene. @_@ 'Scuse me while mai brain asplodes due to teh fanservice.
...And now I'm back. The crepe back satin is causing some minor issues, but hopefully in a few more days I'll have the hang of it. I can't say that I'm excited about doing the pleats on the skirt (I have this nagging feeling that I'm going to spend quite a bit of time fighting with those...) but hopefully it won't be because the fabric is still pissing me off.
I think I'm going to enjoy the rest of the movie before I have to start in on dinner. Sans the celery because my husband doesn't like it and I didn't feel like running to the store to pick some up.
...God, I forgot how cracked this movie is at times. ^^;
