My new icon for glee. Wooo! My eyes are still open for something better, should the chance arise.

So, I watched all the episodes of Haibane Renmei. Interesting. Slower-paced than a lot of things, and very cryptic, but not bad. Not bad at all.

There will never be any villain more awesome than Swarm, the telepathic colony of intelligent Nazi Bees. "His most notable feature is that his entire body is composed of bees with Nazi sympathies."

"Von Meyer was a bee expert who fled to South America after the fall of the Third Reich. There he discovered a colony of bees who had been mutated by radioactivity, "increasing their natural viciousness while endowing them with a collective intelligence". Von Meyer tried to control the bees but instead was attacked. The bees consumed him and he died... only to be reborn as "an aggregate man, his consciousness distributed amongst the irradiated bees that became living cells of his body". In other words, he retained his mind but was composed of nothing but bones and bees!"

It just does not get better than that. I'm sorry. It just doesn't. "I learned awhile ago that it's almost impossible to think about the idea of Cap[tain America] fighting a Nazi made of bees and not have a goofy smile plastered all over your face."

This comes close, sort of. But only 'cause of the darktrooper. Er. Shadowtrooper. I'm not really up on my EU trooper variants.
