Yeah, I'm dissappointed in the wait time, but Over-Time is translating during the wait, so I'm guessing subs will be out fairly fast once the raws they want are out.

He's a lot more emotive than either Eastwood or Kouga, though, and he's shaping up to be an intriguing protagonist. Hard to get a strong sense of the others so far, but their basic personalities come off pretty clearly in just their first scenes.

"Drifter!" That was the word I was looking for but could only think "hobo."

By basic personalities, do you mean "Not Jetman Gai" and "Not Quincy"?

I'm pretty sure the bride was going to eat him, so it's more like Ryuga ruined the bride's wedding night...and scared the groom for life. Maybe he'll become easy Horror prey from this. Because irony.

PS Meanwhile, while wating for subs, I'm getting back to rewatching the original series.
