Total Eclipse of the Heart

[telophase]

Interesting and amusing discussion over at Making Light of the meaning behind Bonnie Tyler's '80s music video to "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

What I have realized from the comments:

1) OMG yes it is a complete shoujo manga! And it's probably by Kaori Yuki.
2) I had forgotten that there were ninjas in the video.
3) Yeah. That's a were-pigeon, all right.


P.S. homasse? You said it'd probably be 2 or 3 weeks, but damn if the doujinshi didn't show up today!*

* For values of "today" that contain "yesterday, but I didn't check my mail until today."



Aaaaaaaarg, now back to work on this webpage.

Oh, it got there? Yay!

And hope you enjoy them and all their cracked-out-ness. >XD

I quite expect I will, thanks! XD I am saving them until I've got the webpage at work done, though: a carrot on a stick. NO CRACK FOR ME UNTIL I FINISH THIS!!

Totally off-topic SQUEE at your icon. *loves Banana Fish*

[homasse.livejournal.com]

Yay, another Banana Fish fan! *squees*

And this icon has been great for finding other fans of this manga that really needs so much more love than it gets.

I'm actually a few volumes behind on the English release, which makes me a bad fan, but I also have the artbook, which I like to think cancels that out and brings me back up to base level.

The teacher-sexually-fantasizing-about-her-students thing actually totally makes sense, except for the ninjas. But by the 80's, America had kenned to the fact that ninjas make everything awesomer.

Not. Right.


And the shoulderpads will eat you!

OMG you are right! It's like the Black Rose Arc of Utena and the evil hordes of backup dancers of Princess Tutu mated and then CLAMP came along and threw feathers at the baby!

Also, yay, random excuse to post the best fucking Total Eclipse cover ever!

I'd like to know when America gave up the weird shit race to Japan. Because we were clearly vying for the title with that video.

o.O

A++ would agree again. God damn that's... not what I would have expected.
