Twist Serve?
Jul. 5th, 2005 07:12 pmNOOOO, no more fandoms! Prince of Tennis wasn't supposed to be entertaining! It was supposed to be crap so that I could work on my Sparta lesson plan!
Damn you, Japan!
(i gave a little squeal of dorkery when the freshmen were introducing themselves and most of them used 'desu' but then Hoshio used 'oure', because I knew immediately who was supposed to be the ass. Yay cultural context!)

Date: 2005-07-06 12:13 am (UTC)just as soon as i figure out who these freaking people are. So far, my favorite guy is the main character's dad, who's supposed to be this hardcore tennis legend, but his only scene so far has been him laying in the backyard reading a girly magazine.

Date: 2005-07-06 02:10 am (UTC)CLAMP does it, and normally i don't care so much for them, but these boys i enjoy. lots of snarking. the main site is here (http://www.tokyopop.com/dbpage.php?propertycode=LEG&categorycode=BMG).

Legal Drug sounds interesting. I'll see if they have it at Renaud-Bray.

It doens't translate directly but it means something along the lines of "not yet" in the sense that the other person sucks and is worse than him...I'm explaining badly but basically he's being insulting.
