issenlloYuletide tagset. The anime/manga section... someone nominated Tokyo Crazy Paradise! \o/ I was hoping to see that. Only Ryuji, Tsukasa and Meiko-sensei, though I'm hoping this doesn't prevent people from writing the other characters.
And Tokyo Babylon. Really? Wasn't it a massive fandom with loads of death fics and angst fics and death-angst fics? Not quite my cup; I wrote one years ago and got it out of my system then. But I suppose it'd be nostalgic to read more fics.
Curiously enough, also Finder no Hyouteki. Hm, I'd always thought it had a moderately big fandom? And Juuni Kokki? Saiyuki Gaiden but no Gensomaden Saiyuki. Curiouser. And does Uzumaki refer to the Uzumaki I have in mind and which I first read at the comic store, and to the live movie version? (Going by the characters offered, seems so.)
Haven't looked at the books section yet. But seems like I might want to do Yuletide this year...

Watched Ruroni Kenshin: The Legend Ends, the third installment of the live action movies, today with Harumi and other friends. This was the end of the Kyoto Arc, and was pretty exciting. The producers ended up changing a lot more of canon than I expected, such as cutting out the extensive angsty backstories for the rest of the Juppon, but it felt better because it cut down on a lot of moralising. Basically, you had the bogeyman Shishio and then you had the ex-bogeyman Kenshin to take him out, because (presumably) you could expect Kenshin to kill and then not want to take over Shishio's gig himself. I mean, nice and principled as Kenshin's vow not to kill anymore might sound, one tends to go a bit ehrrr when he enters the fray on the big iron boat with a gaggle of (eventual cannon fodder) gun-wielding soldiers.
Also:
I had a bit of a squee at Fukuyama Masaharu (the guy in Galileo) as Hiko Seijirou. I wish he had hammed it up a bit more, though; he was too straightlaced.
It was fine in the anime, but in a live action movie it becomes unintentionally funny when Saito is always shown with a cigarette.
The actress playing Kaoru looks way prettier in blue, and looks more mature; but they kept dressing her in white, gah.
