Welcome, bakabokken, creativexwonder, thisiscyrene, teruame, and johanaire! (And while I'm at it, a SOMEWHAT BELATED welcome to caddles. XD) ♥ (ETA: And erisabesu, too; welcome!) Great to meet you guys; hope to have a lot of fun fangirling with you in the future. :D

While I anticipate the release of Flaming Sword: Yamamoto 2 (This time... it's personal!), which if spoilers are anything to go by will be all sorts of ridiculous, LET'S DO A MUSIC MEME.

Reply to this post and list several of your favorite bands/songs. I will then rec you something to listen to. (If it happens to be a song you already have, or something you don't like, let me know and I will try again! I AM PERSISTENT.)

I can't wait for Yamamoto to charge in arms crossed on his horse and-- oh wait...wrong series. It's going to be a good battle, and I expect some good Squalo commentary as well. XD

[makeste.livejournal.com]

If this fight is even half as epic as I am anticipating it to be, it's going to be a very good battle, agreed. I have no idea how it can top sharks, walls, and tentacle rape, but Squalo's commentary should definitely be a good start. XD
