WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! The yammer for ep 22 is up, and OH BOY! Evil. Really evil. Sanzo, all alone and shot? Wow. And Goku & Gojyo complaining about how Sanzo ruined their lives so loud and persistent that even Kanzeon can't concentrate on her chess game any more? I need that episode. BADLY.

I read the yammer yesterday, right after work. Kicked my son off the computer as I walked in the door. Can't wait either!! Guess they don't mind a little torture to make Sanzo bend to their will. Ahh, have to go to work and the episode's still not there for download. therhoda had just mentioned Kanzeon hadn't been in an episode for quite a while. Unfortuantly, time for work. Rather watch Gunlock, but who wouldn't?

I just got home from work and it's still not up. Neither is Saiyaman's raw. Ahhh! This is torture, knowing what it's about but not being able to see it yet.

It's finally done downloading! I'm going to watch it now, only to make sure it works. Have to work tomorrow, one of the rare Saturdays. It's Open House, we get to meet the Parents in the Kindergarten class. Today was spent scrubbing toys and the room for the start of the school year. Out of our 26 students, I know all but the five new ones. Off to watch Sanzo.

Scrubbing suck. House cleaning sucks. Vaccuming suck. That blasted vaccuum cleaner sucked up one of my socks, for crying out loud!!!! Gah, they really outdid themselves with this episode! Poor "Not-Sanzo-gang-any-more" Hakkai, Gojyo and Goku just don't get a break, do they? And Gojyo & Goku were really miffed. I'm really curious as to how the reunion with Sanzo will look... And Sanzo... Gosh, he really stepped into it this time. Unless that mind-manipulating demon is still manipulating Hazel into thinking he messes with Sanzo, while the real Sanzo wanders around unharmed.. However, if the demon really caught Sanzo, I just hope that Hakuryuu will make it to wherever Sanzo's stranded in record time. What will Sanzo do this time to break out of the hypnotism spell? The injury might help - either through the pain, or by him fainting at some point. Then again, fainting might not be the smartest idea... Who knows, in the end, SAnzo's butt will be safed by Kou&gang And just three more episodes to solve the entire mess...

I hate housework so much I always try to get my kids to do it, but they plan on not being home on the weekends, just to get out of it. Cleaning the school yesterday wasn't fun, but everyone complimenting us today on how nice it looks made up for all the hard work. The hard part today was wearing a dress and looking like a mature adult. My normal work clothes are jeans, sneakers and a T-shirt with the schools name printed on it and the word staff. My vaccuum eats my extension cords and change lazy people don't pick up. I tend to run over everything when I vaccuum.
I can't believe they can finish this in three more episodes. Maybe it will continue over, who knows. If it were in this country it would be an end of season cliffhanger.
All I could think while I was watching it is Sanzo is in DEEP SH**. Even if he planned this he couldn't have expected the Demon to show up. If he falls unconcious he will exit the dream area, but be at their mercy.
This episode was so good I watched it twice when I should have been asleep. Can you say obsessed?
I loved how the Youkai kept coming at them and they kept getting madder and madder. Sanzo's not even there and he's still causing them problems.
I don't know who's in control on the outside. They did show Gato with his one hand on the mind-manipulating Youkai and the other with a gun pointed at him. And in the background is Nii with his bunny watching everything.
Maybe Kou and gang is all that Sanzo can hope for. Unless he plays along with Hazel to buy some time. Or could Nii intervene somehow? Ahhh, too many questions. MUST have next episode.

I really hope that the series will continue, but I don't think that they will make it a cliff hanger. Besides, if the show won't be renewed, that would really make me miffed, to be hanging dry with no real end. "Obsessed". Yes, it was great, and the animation was really good, compared to the first part of the season. Nii should be the one controlling evrything - this is his chance to get Sanzo under control, and really mess with his mind, after all. Hazel made a strategic mistake, for sure, when he tried to make Sanzo chose sides. Blondie doesn't like complicated, and that delicate mixture of nightmares and fears from the past, plus the friendship/companionship he shares with 'his' demons is quite complicated.

I wonder what Nii would like to do most to Sanzo.
Sanzo definately does not like to be forced to do anything.
Ok, the "Obsessed" was cute and I did ask for it.
Just went to The Journey to the Rest website to see if Kagenami Q had any information about if Gunlock was being extended, before I sent her an E-mail asking if she had any info. There is an amazing update of the Saiyuki chapters in the new Zero Sum.
Scroll down through the Saiyuuki Newest News to the bottom. There she has her theories about what might be happening with this season of Gunlock. Can only hope for an extension. Even one episode would be nice, but another season would be better, even better than a movie, cause we wouldn't get to see that for a long time.

Nii... if you go by the bet he made with Koumyou Sanzo, his ultimate goal must be to corrupt Sanzo to such a degree that he'll fall for the 'darkness' completely. So, he could try to manipulate Sanzo into completely and for real breaking off with his friends. If he could get Sanzo to kill one of them, that would surely be an achievement. Basically, Nii wants to destroy Sanzo, no matter the costs. Thanks for the information about the Journey page. I'll check it out when I'm home tonight.

Finally got to read the Zero Sum translation from the link you provided. Current one is too exciting! Poor Weak, Sick, Left all alone, Hakkai, jumping through the window, trying to get to safety. I see where you say they are going a different way. Still haven't read about Sanzo's past yet.

Episode 23 will air today! I'm already getting excited. What will happen now? And I'm curious as to how close our predictions came to the actual episode.

Just read the Nammer Yammer on 23. How can it keep getting more exciting? Still doesn't seem possibe to end it in only two episodes. I hope it's a whole extra season, and then a summer movie. A fan's dream. Am going to check if the download is available yet.
It's up for download. There just aren't any seeds yet, but 11 peers. There should be seeds soon. Yeah!

it was good I love hakaru kicking that demon!! that was funny!
And Bunny boy is still the creepiest in this series. I mean really, no matter how much of a creep precher boy is nothing beats the bunny. Now if I could only understand more than 3 words of japanese or instant subbs were available, ahhh instant subs. wouldn't you KILL for a program you fed avi files and it gave subs. like candy for a diabetic.
GOD I HATE CLIFFY endings!!!

Wow, and we have to wait a whole week to see what happens next? Poor Sanzo. He is certainly being tested in these last few episodes. I would love to know why our mostly cold-blooded Sanzo would let the demon live, and go so far as to turn his back on him. Yes he's hurt (have to go back and count how many times he was shot) but even that doesn't excuse his mercy. Then, he's seriously shot by Hazel (I was surprised he did it himself) as he turns his back to shoot at the other three. I though Goku was going to jump down the cliff. Still can't figure out how they will get down to Sanzo to help him. In the preview it looks like they get their butts beat pretty good....again.
one from last episode, nine from Gato and one from Hazel I think that was right, but I kept nodding off. It's time to sleep.
