Dear lord, this hurts my brain...

[candyland]

Okay, a lot of my fellow DC/MK-ers know that an easy way to describe Kaitou Kid's look is that (clothing-wise) he looks like Tuxedo Mask. Most anime/manga fans have at least heard of Sailor Moon, so it's an easy comparison to draw.

Well...I was chatting with jeva_chan, and we got on the topic of Sailor Moon. It was our first anime, as is the case with many people. And we touched on the fact that Tuxedo Mask and Kaitou Kid are easy to compare in terms of clothing.

Jeva also said that the use of roses was creative ^^

And then...

candy__chan: ...here's a question: who came first? Tuxedo Mask or Kaitou Kid?
jeva_chan: ...
jeva_chan: ow
candy__chan: *runs to Wikipedia*
jeva_chan: why you gotta hurt my brain with that question
candy__chan: XDD
jeva_chan: I'll lolz if Kid came first
candy__chan: I'm looking it up.
candy__chan: If Kid came first...then it's backwards.
jeva_chan: aahahaha
candy__chan: Kid was created a LONG time ago, though--he was created before Detective Conan and Yaiba both. And Conan has been running for...thirteen years?
jeva_chan: woooooooow
jeva_chan: our fandoms are SOOLD
candy__chan: ...oh my god...
candy__chan: Are you ready for this?
jeva_chan: ....
jeva_chan: oh gof
jeva_chan: god*



jeva_chan: Kid came first, didn't he?
candy__chan: The original Sailor Moon manga started in 1992.
jeva_chan: *covers face*
candy__chan: Magic Kaito first appeared in 1988.
jeva_chan: OMG
jeva_chan: *dies laughing*
candy__chan: TUXEDO MASK IS A RIPOFF OF KAITOU KID!!
jeva_chan: AND YET KID IS LESS OF A DORK
candy__chan: ...does anyone else think this calls for an LJ post?


Every once in a while I have one of these moments. I like to call them genius. But I'm delusional.



Wow...our fandom isn't that much younger than I am XD

Actually, our fandom is younger than you.

... it's a year younger than me.

*s-sobs while laughing*

[meimi.livejournal.com]

8D Aw, he's still a young thing for me~ *molests anyway*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

... *fixed*

It's three years younger than me. A year younger than my sister. That's a little bit weeeeeeird~ Kaito will be TWENTY this year. CRAZY!

[clover-magic.livejournal.com]

I'm...TWO YEARS OLDER THAN KID YEE-HAW. XD

Which means....

...

Oh my god, it's Magic Kaito's 20th anniversary this year. ROFL.

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

... OMG, YOU'RE RIGHT.

HOW SHOULD WE CELEBRATE?

... maybe this mod of MC1T could make a Weekly Challenge of it?

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I've only been in this fandom for...a little over three years. Learned about Kaito pretty quickly (thank you, Relative Truth!), so he's still a little guy to me too ^_~

*videotapes*

Mental caption for your icon: "Practicing for our future children."

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

I FEEL LIKE KAITO IS MY LITTLE BROTHER OR SOMETHING NOW. IT'S A LITTLE WEIRD.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I'm three years older than Kid! And yes, it is his twentieth birthday this year. Something must be done...

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

That would be totally awesome!

Maybe Gosho will do something special for Kid's twentieth birthday? Like, I dunno...ANOTHER MANGA VOLUME? *sparkly eyes*

[clover-magic.livejournal.com]

CHALLENGE. DOOOO IIIIIIT.

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

LEMME JUST SEE IF I CAN FIND OUT WHEN EXACTLY IT WAS RELEASED FOR MORE FUN.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

IT'S A SIDE-EFFECT OF FANDOM. REALLY. TRULY. HONESTLY. I hope >_>

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

Omg, someone needs to poke Gosho and remind him that Kaito turns 20 this year. *lolz*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I agree on the challenge. I'll help you go look for a release date! (And watch, it'll be in, like...November...)

[clover-magic.livejournal.com]

Releases:
1988-05 (Japanese Volume 1)
1988-11 (Japanese Volume 2)
1994-10 (Japanese Volume 3)
2006-02 (German Volume 1)
2006-04 (German volume 2)
2006-06 (German volume 3)
2007-02 (Japanese volume 4)

No exact date for when it first started serializing in Shounen Sunday, but the first volume was released in May, ergo, it must have started running fairly early in the year. :3

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

... well, that's incentive enough for me to post something today, isn't it? XD or should I wait until May?

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

NOT ALL OF FANDOM, JUST OUR FANDOM. BECAUSE OUR FANDOM NEVER AGES. LOLZ.

[clover-magic.livejournal.com]

WHO NEEDS TO WAIT TIL MAY, MAN. THEY MADE CONAN'S 10TH ANNIVERSARY GO FOR MONTHS! o/

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE A CREATURE OF AWESOME AND WIN! \o/

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

ALL RIGHT THEN. CELEBRATION OF MAGIC KAITOU'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY IS A GO.

SOMEONE GIMME A PIC I CAN USE.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Mozart's two hundred and fiftieth birthday went on aaaaaaall year in the music community xD

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

That would be kind of awesome...he needs to do SOMETHING for it...something with actual story value...maybe Toichi's death? *gg*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

KIND OF LIKE HOW DENNIS THE MENACE HAS BEEN FIVE YEARS OLD SINCE THE FIFTIES? CONAN HAS BEEN SEVEN FOR ALMOST FOURTEEN YEARS z(^o^)b

[jeva-chan.livejournal.com]

... ;o;

Why does mention of Toichi's death make me cry out IRL? ;o;

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Because when we got to see Toichi and his sexy, sexy voice, we all fell in love with him. So him dying now would be like Heiji getting shot in the head in next week's case.

...or something.
