You were worried, weren’t’ja? Didn’t think I was going to comment on “Endless Waltz”? Well! No fear! I have finally gotten un-lazy!

    So here we go! I shalt not comment on the artistic license they took (*cough cough* the Gundams for instance) but of course I have to nit-pick the rest of it! (Hee-hee! Nitpicking being a hobby of mine…)

    First off, according to the dates on the bottom of the screen (I saw the Cartoon Network version) the original war took one year. I always figured that. I thought, “This goes from Relena’s birthday to Relena’s birthday” but everybody said, “Oh no Routhier! It takes two years!” Yeah! Well! Look at the bottom of the screen! Where’s your two years now??? (*laughs sadistically*)

    Secondly, Lady Une got contacts. No, not corrective ones to get rid of her other-personality’s eye problems (I was going to say “evil personality” but who’s to judge?). She’s got them coloured ones. Yeh yeh! Go look! She’s got different coloured eyes in “Endless Waltz” than she does in the series!

    Next up! Did anybody besides me notice that they play “Jingle Bells” in the background of some of the scenes? Why! This was a Christmas movie! *gasp* Well… Everyone who doesn’t celebrate Christmas and always has that “You people and your Christmas movies! Every year something happens to Santa and here comes little Johnny to save the day! Man! Take care of your Santas already!” thing going on (Heh, don’t get insulted here! I heard a comic say that once!) can take heart. Here we have a Christmas movie that involves hottie cartoon characters running around blowing stuff up in Girl Scout uniforms. (Quick! Somebody bust out “Patrick Swayze Christmas” for me! I *love* that song!) I mean, what better way to celebrate Christmas than to put Wufei in a Girl Scout uniform but not give him any cookies?

    Moving on! Relena broke her rule! She wore pants!

    In fact, everyone broke the rule! They were all dressed like modern people! Calvin Klein must have been resurrected when the war was over. (Why do I suddenly have this picture in my head of Todd Oldham coming out of cryogenic sleep and then running around with scissors yelling, “Dear god! Look at this mess! It’ll take me forever to make you people match! Quick! Get me ‘Fashion Emergency!!!’”)

    Another thought that struck me is that when Marimara (apologies for hacking her name) turns around in her chair to talk to Relena is that she should really quote the late Joe C. with “I’m Joe C.! The C stands for Cool!”

    Talking about Marimara, I was watching the show one day when mom was standing around and she (Marimara) says that thing about, “Hey. I won’t kill ‘em if they bow down to me!” and mom turned around and said, “Holy cow! They’ve animated you!”

    Next up: Trowa meets Triton. Okay, to keep it straight, we’re referring to spiky haired Trowa as Triton here. Trowa (the guy who needed a shave) walks up to Triton and says, “I’m going to show you something I’ve never shown anyone before!” and then in the next scene, Triton is being held in a head-lock with Trowa standing behind him… (I’m just saying, maybe the yaoi people should rejoice in this scene?)

    Then there’s the door thing. This drove me absolutely nuts! I kept hitting the rewind button over and over and I just can’t explain it!

    In the scene where Heero is working at the computer (gee, there’s new material, eh?) and Duo walks in, Duo walks *through* the door. Oh yeah! Go check it out and prove me wrong! He looks like he’s just walking in from the dark, but he’s walking through the door because when Heero leaves, he *opens* the door! I’m completely baffled! Apparently Shinigami has more talents than just walking around going, “I’m the God of Death! Check me out!” (And I really have to agree with our website gal here and her theory about, “Every time I hear ‘The Great Destroyer’ I can see poor Shinigami hiding in shame under the table!”)

    And here’s the one that hit me this morning: In the crowd where Trowa and a whole bunch of people are waiting to be handed their Girl Scout cookies by the guy with a feather duster hanging out of his head, Wufei is standing right next to him. Yeah! If you look to Trowa’s right, Wufei is standing right there… But how’d he get up on stage and whip out his sword before Trowa landed then?

    On a *completely* unrelated note:

    After watching hours upon hours of “Jackass” one night, I started pondering things. Like, that scene where the carnie jumps into the pile of elephant poo. Do you ever wonder if Heero, Quatre, Catherine, Wufei, and Duo get Trowa completely plastered and make him do weird carnival stuff too?
