Ippo updates and other junk

New Ippo up. Not much of Ippo lovin' Miyata this time around. But it was very heavily Ippo/Kumi centric which is 20 million times better. Totally love that pic up above. It so looks like he's inhaling marijuana and the final image is the after affects, lol. You know it looks like that!

Mostly posting just to give a heads up to the two people who follow this blog XD. The next two weeks will be filled with finishing up projects and final exams. So unless House decides he suddenly wants to be gay with Wilson there probably won't be an update from me until May. When I'm finally free from the life-sucking clutches of school I want to give this blog a face lift and introduce the two characters that make random appearances throughout my post. I also have a few more reviews I need to get around to completing. And I promise, no more Static post for awhile.

Speaking of Static, before I give this blog a little break from it's awesomeness, if anyone clicked through the links I posted in the last entry that lead to some of the comics I drew it can be easily surmised that I like my Static to be HARDCORE. And, seriously, it's like one of the only things I slash where I want these guys to be going at it like two sex deprived rabbits. As I've stated previously, I tend to like more comedy in the pairings I slash. So Static Shock is really a unique case with me. I don't think I'll ever do KakaIru porn, or Itsuki/Kyon just totally going at it. And I really think this has a lot to do with the fact that I just don't find yaoi to be sexually appealing. Gaspity?! What? How does that make any sense?! But as I stated before, my doujinshi collection is filled with comedy stories. There is a rare occasion where I want one where its whole existence is dependent upon how hot the sex is, but for the most part, I prefer to laugh.

Beautiful by Bandou Emiri
This doujinshi just isn't funny but it's super cute, a double whammy, so I couldn't resist snatching it up

Don't get me wrong, I like looking at guys dripping in sweat and other bodily fluids as much as the next fujoshi. But, for the most part, the build of the guys in most doujinshi just isn't what does it for me. I love muscles, but the characters that most yaoi are based on, like, lets say, Naruto, just don't have that type of build. That's not to say the sex is automatically gonna be bad. A good sex scene is a good sex scene. But, physically, for me, the perfect situation is two muscular guys going at it. And what do you know, Hotsreak and Static fit the bill.

Now, here's my problem when it comes to me drawing this pairing: Muscles are hard to draw, lol! So, poor Static and Hotstreak don't come out looking as delicious as they do in the animation or the comic. It's something I'm working on changing, though.

Anyway, this so came out of nowhere. Better get back to work on these projects. Good luck to the rest of you guys in the midst of finals!

Kisses Make Everything Better

After reading the latest installment of Hajime no Ippo and seeing Ippo get all touched over Miyata for the one millionth time I was inspired to do some fanart.

I was also trying to catch up on the anime yesterday and found myself really missing the Spanish dub. I know Geoneon is now defunct, but I hope a Spanish company is willing to license and dub the new season with the same voice actors from the previous one. In my opinion, the Spanish dub is far superior to the Japanese original. Sorry, you Japanese purest, but it's the truth.

He Blinded Me With Sparkly Love

The latest chapter of Hajime no Ippo is up at One Manga. Go. Read. Now. I don't want to spoil anything for you fans, so I'll keep my mouth shut. I will say I am quite happy with this chapter. Ippo finally verbalizes why he maintains his crazy obsession with Miyata. He even shows signs of being a masochist (read page 12). This chapter is also successful in killing whatever yaoi-ish thoughts the anime impressed upon me. I'm not saying you can't slash Ippo and Miyata. Please, do, have at it! But I can't because Ippo's love, in my opinion, is too pure. I just can't see him ever crossing over to the land of sex with Miyata. But Sendo/Ippo, now that's something I can work with.

Also, sorry for the lack of updates. Right now there's a loll in my school work, so hopefully they will become a bit more frequent. I need to make up for all the KakaIru Love-Love Tuesdays I missed. If this Friday remains free (and with my current luck that is doubtful) I'll be able to catch up.

Ippo, the Super Uke

I was browsing through the Hajime no Ippo doujinshi on the Japanese Yahoo Auction page and it would seem the majority (if not all) of doujin available have Ippo as a bottom. When it comes to Miyata and Ippo, though, I just don't know. I guess I can see them switchin' it up, but then the real problem is I really can't picture these two in a sexual relationship. If anything, I see Miyata basically screwing with Ippo. Like leading him on and then pulling back just when Ippo thinks he has him. That sounds like a plot that could be used for a comedy doujin, which, yeah, I do prefer over the yaoi ones. Funny thing is I can so see Sendo and Ippo having sex. But when it comes to Miyata, I just can't see the relationship going past Ippo's crazy obsession. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Speaking of Ippo doujinshi, I totally want this one:

It's Takamura/Ippo. There's also a couple Sendo/Ippo ones I'd like to snatch up. Miyata/Ippo? No, no, no! I'm just not there yet. Maybe someday. But right now I'm content with Ippo being with everyone but Miyata.

Hajime no Ippo: Now With More Yaoi

The new season of Hajime no Ippo began airing this month on NTV. Because of classes and work I didn't get a chance to watch it until this past Wednesday. For any of you who are lost, Hajime no Ippo is a sports anime focused on boxing. Although I would love to claim it as the best sports anime ever, the only other sports based anime I've seen is The Prince of Tennis and saying it's better than The Prince of Tennis isn't saying much because everything is better than The Prince of Tennis (*hears horrified gasps from fangirls*). But, really and truly, it's awesome and I'd recommend it to anyone.

For those of you who have been following Hajime no Ippo, you know of Ippo's gigantic fanboy crush on Miyata. For a while I ignored the yaoiness of the situation, until I started reading the manga and it was as if the creator was just begging people to slash these two. Below is one of my favorite Ippo fanboy moments. He gets angry when Sendo goes upside Miyata's head.
Dude, Ippo didn't even react that way when bully's talked trash about his mom! But oh, touch his idol and IT IS ON! So, yeah, funny, ha-ha, and cute cause, gosh, he really likes this guy. Still, I don't slash.

Then I watch New Challenger and Ippo looks like this just because Kimura says he's going to spar with Miyata:
And then when the guys question him about his devotion to Miyata he looks like this and states:
Okay, first, that image, lol. I know I'm not the only one with a dirty mind here! You know that looks like something naughty is about to happen. Second, forget fanboy, Ippo, you are a complete and total fangirl. The blush! The fingers! The lip! You have all the physical symptoms of a fangirl. You're even hated by others for your freaky love:
But oh, the the fangirling doesn't stop there. While Kimura's out kicking Miyata's butt, Ippo begins to walk home but stops for a moment to reminisce about...his boxing career? No, because his boxing career is not even half as important as Miyata:
And I could go on and on, but all this Miyata lovin' got me wondering as to why there doesn't seem to be a female following for such a yaoilicious show. The only thing I can figure is females are turned off by the art style (and I will admit I'm not a fan myself) or they really do prefer pretty boy types to beefy, muscular guys (I know they do). But give Ippo a chance. You'll enjoy it, I promise. And here, a showering Miyata to entice you:
Wheee, this was a fun, meaningless entry XD. But, hey, it's Friday! Anyway, If you're interested in anything Ippo related here's the link to its wiki page. This will take you to its page on One Manga if you want to read the 840+ chapter series. But if you're interested in the anime I'd recommend purchasing the dvd's. Right Stuf is currently selling the individual volumes for 5 dollars a pop, which is a steal when you compare it to the collections they're also selling for 72 dollars each.

Btw, check out the opening for the new season. I absolutely adore it. What do you think?
