VENUS/ZOISITE, anyone? Also, Tomica Hero Rescue Force

TOMICA HERO RESCUE FORCE

I watched the first few eps of THRF and though it was interesting, it wasn't my cup of tea. I found Hikaru a bit irritating and Juri a LOT irritating, but Rei has been my favorite character. Yesterday I watched eps 43-44 (and nothing before these two) and... OMG. THE CHARACTERS HAVE BECOME INSANE. IN A GOOD WAY.

Ep 43 made me cry. Well, any type of death scene makes me cry. But the story of the fox and CAI and... yes, damnit, I do cry easily :(

Then comes Ep 44. The episode killed me. It really just killed me dead. The dropping jaws, their captain's weird, purple wardrobe complete with pink fluffy fan, Hikaru's a pretty pretty student and Kyousuke's a nurse... and Rei cooking and with the make-up and high voice... and the RESCUE PRINCESS! RIBBON RIBBON! No, you don't have to know anything about the series. Just watch it. And let yourself be killed dead by Japanese insanity (which is OMG so good).

I'M SHAMELESSLY PLUGGING MY OWN VIDEO. BECAUSE I LOVE IT TO PIECES. WARNING: abuse of sepia tones. Because the story is told from Venus' POV.

Venus and Zoisite... yeah they interacted pretty much in only one episode but... I love the,. I really, really love them. For one thing, they both look like cats (or is it just me...?). The other... well, they both die in the series. And they're so intensely dedicated to Usagi and Mamoru. I WANT A FIC ABOUT THEM, NOW.

Am going to the dentist later on. WAAAAAH.

Cute vid! ♥ I do like the ship. But mind you, there's more than just their alliance later in the series. He all but stalks her initially, to the point of being creepy. I don't believe that was just because she was a senshi and possibly the princess like he said.

Especially since PGSM Zoi is modeled on manga Kunzite, who of course has the past-life o////o crush scenes and fits the famous artbook pairings (which Takeuchi has mentioned she wanted to develop more). So I think Zoi/Venus has a good basis.

Still can't beat Kunz/Merc though. XD

REALLY???? OMG I HAVE TO WATCH THE SERIES AGAIN. No, see, I only have ep 35 for them (which is very much responsible for the lack of Zoisite bits here) so I used that. And yes with the Zoisite-looking-like-Zoisite thing. Why didn't they just follow the manga anyway? When I was new to the fandom I was sooo very confused.

HELLS YEAH. Mercury/Kunzite for the win!!!
