Swamped with papers right now. I haven't watched anything in like two weeks except for JJBA. I HAVE SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON IN A FEW WEEKS.

Speaking of JJBA, Phantom Blood ends next week! I'm going to miss my weekly Slightly Homoerotic Victorian Horror Battle Story a lot. It's actually my second favorite part:

1. Steel Ball Run
2. Phantom Blood
3. Vento Aureo
4. Stone Ocean
5. Diamond is Unbreakable
6. Stardust Crusaders
7. Battle Tendency

No Jojolion because that's incomplete. And Stone Ocean goes up and down a little at times BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT IT. And lmao my least favorite part starts in two weeks. BUT I LOVE IT. I LOVE ALL OF THEM, JUST SOME MORE THAN OTHERS.

BUT I REALLY LOVE PHANTOM BLOOD. I love the setting and the gothic horror and the vampires and zombies and how dramatic everyone is and Jonathan being a gentleman and Dio doing everything for money and just everything. I love how it's so much rougher, story and art-wise, than Araki's later work. I love how it's such a personal and intimate story, compared to the later parts: the whole thing centers on Jonathan's and Dio's relationship with each other and the hate and love that's involved in that. Also the ending makes me cry. ♥♥
