Hm. What to say about Weiss barring that the meanies always seem to interfere with poor Schwarz? My favourite is this group is Omi, who has the saddest and deepest tale of all of them. I would make a family portrait for him, but I kinda doubt any cel gallery is big enough to hold the entire clan. My second favourite, though his flatness makes me not want to like him, is Aya (or Ran) because his story seems second-most pertinent. Yohji is okay, and at least Ken has always left me wondering what in the heck his excuse is.
Up next: more Omi and Aya.
Episode #: 14: Fliehen/The Capital Under Martial Law
Stats: 1 layer, B3 Sketches: none Comments: He may only be my third favourite Weiss member, but so far Yohji is my favourite Weiss cel. I'd always needed a cel of a cartoon character lighting a cigarette anyway. The scan on this one turned out terrible, and trying to fix it made it look more terrible, so we'll see how it fares with the new scanner. At this moment Ken and Yohji are trying to save Omi as they speed along in a jeep getting shot at. Or more specifically Ken is trying to save Omi, and Yohji is trying (so far unsuccessfully) to light a cigarette in the wind. After Ken says why he's trying despite the hopelessness, Yohji sticks the cigarette in his mouth instead. |

Episode #: Mission 10: Bruder.
Stats: 1 layer, C5 Sketches: 1 matching, unstuck Comments: Omi schmoozes at a club, trying to get picked up by individuals who are putting people into hunts, as the game, for some rich crazies. No, the girl isn't one of them. |

Episode #: 24: Ende Des Weiss/Those of the Light
Stats: 2 layers, stuck, A1/B1 KEY Sketches: 1 matching, unstuck Comments: Aya doing what he does best: stabbing the life out of someone. SPOILER. This is when they first break into Estet's turf, and Aya kills the guard below so everyone else can enter before they split up. The others pause to ask Aya not to go crazy on them before moving along. He replies that there won't be enough time for it. |

Episode #: ?
Stats: 2 layers, unstuck, A5 + FX Sketches: 1 matching, unstuck Comments: Poor battered Omi. The little voices in my head are telling me I remember this... but I can't piece the memories together. The ID will have to wait. The FX layer is airbrushed battering marks (hopefully it's lined up correctly). |

Stats: 1 layer, A13 Sketches: 1 matching, unstuck Comments: Omi doing... something. Though it was one of my two first Weiss cels, I never did get around to IDing it. |

Episode #: 18: Schuld/Farfarello
Stats: 1 layer, A10 KEY Sketches: 1 matching, stuck Comments: Omi's eyes (so I have an eye fetish). SPOILER. When Weiss are trying to prevent Farfarello from killing Ruth (maybe they should've butted out of personal issues), Omi and Ken tackle Farfarello while Aya and Yohji fight Brad (see boxing Brad scans in Schwarz section). Here Omi is aiming a handful of darts at Farfarello, all of which penetrate him to no avail. This scan turned out rather pasty, so I'll probably eventually try again. |
