This makes me laugh no matter how many times I look at it. XD
Re-watching the first few episodes is 1/2 awesome (it all makes sense now) and 1/2 makes me feel incredibly stupid. I can't even believe some of the stuff I didn't catch the first time around. orz
Yesterday my shipment from Amazon* arrived, including the first four novels. After I placed the order, I started worrying that four wasn't enough, that I'd burn through them before I got the rest from BK1. But they're pretty thick (as far as light novels go), so I don't think it'll be a problem.
So far:
1. Seiji is even MORE of a creeper than in the anime. He thinks of Celty's head as his GIRLFRIEND??? AHHHHH. AHHHHHHH. Also, He likes her because she's beautiful and "very quiet"??? AUGH, GROSS, DNW. D:
2. On the other hand, Celty is even more of a badass? So that's something.
3. Shinra apparently really likes four kanji compounds, so I started a vocabulary list. (I figure it's something I should study more anyway.) One chapter so far with Shinra; he's only on like three pages and I've already added four items to the list. Sheesh. (He has a line where he doesn't use any and Celty thinks he must really be serious, lol.)
4. Things are presented in a different order, but otherwise the anime seems to follow the novel pretty closely. I'm thinking that 2 and 3 might not be as close, just because those books were compressed into fewer episodes. We'll see, I guess.
*Originally, this order was just going to be the Sekaiichi Hatsukoi DVDs. They're all in the same order to save on shipping, though they'll still be shipped separately. And then somehow the Durarara novels found their way in there too. Why wait two weeks for BK1's SAL shipment for ALL of them, amirite?
