I posted this for Klaus'
Birthday on Castle Gloria. It's being deleted as it should have posted here. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Klaus

It seems to me he would like this better than anything to do with Eroica, though he does seem to like Dorian a little when he is not being Eroica. Hang in there Dorian!

Notes: My iPod has 805 songs in it. Sometimes, it takes a few months before I get to hear a song again since I always put it on 'shuffle' when I use it.

Today, a song played while I was commuting to school. The title is Neulich Nacht and it's by the German band Terrorgruppe from the Keiner Hilft Euch album. Basically, it's about a guy who dreamt he was gay, freaked out slightly, then decided he wanted to try becoming gay just to see what it was like.

The thing that really gets me is the fact that at the end of the song, he mentions a guy named Klaus. Along with six other men.

Who the hell made this lovely movie ?!

This is from a Japanese movie website "NIKO NIKO DOUGA DOU"(Japanese only), one of the variations of topic movie "calamelldansen" in Japan.
Unfortunately you need to log in to view it. So I created screen shots.

The story seems like this;
A swedish pop song by "caramell" was remixed for an opening of a PC game last year, and it's posted to YouTube so then became well-known in Japan.
This year, someone created dancing movies using actual anime characters in handwriting-touch style with the same music and posted to the Japanese movie site  and it's broked.
There's even Eroica version!!! Thank you!
The movie is just for 25sec.
( ... Does anyone know more about "caramell" or "caramelldansen"? )

Notes: In this side story, we get a closer look into the Earl’s formative years and early training as a thief. This story is interesting in that Dorian and the Major never interact. The Earl goes out of his way to avoid contact so that his operation isn’t compromised. Meanwhile the Major sees curly-haired Dorian look-alikes everywhere but never the genuine article, even when he’s right under his nose!

Notes: So this month's edition of "Princess" came with an omake calender featuring art from some of their premier stories, including Eroica. Unfortunatly, I don't have a scanner and had to take a picture with my camera so I apologize for the glare and poor quality. This weekend I'll look into asking a friend of mine if she can scan it for me so that I can provide you with a better image.

Until then, consider this a sneak preview: ( Jan-Feb 2009 )

Notes: As I've been doing the reviews of the stories, there are some things that I later realized I should have included. Others have made suggestions of lines to include, and our ever-helpful Japanese speakers have expanded on other information.

Notes: Random fact;
That lovely nursery rhyme you sing to put yourself to sleep at night? Its origin is American..Massachusetts to be exact, in a small town called Sterling. In 1830, it was inspired by a real little girl named Mary, who actually DID bring her pet lamb to school one day.

How sweet it is to know that, while you have your belief in mainly German crafted things, it is an American Nursery Rhyme that safely sends you off to dream land at night. So there seems to be at least ONE thing from us 'Yanks' you find appealing. And funny how its an American Nursery Rhyme from a former British Colony ..... wouldn't it be amusing if Dorian were to look up his family tree and possibly find the branch of his family that might have moved to America and had some hand in the creation of this rhyme? (well it would)

Notes: I don’t think any other story underscores the love/hate relationship Eroica has with the Major better than this one. For the first time, the Major gets hit with full blown retaliation from Dorian, reciprocal retribution be damned. Their antics are like a sibling rivalry from hell. Let the war between the Major and the Earl begin!

Story Ten - Glass Target - Part 2

Hello, guys!

I would like to share the scans that may interest Eroica fans; sketches of the Major and Dorian with the author's commentaries.

The book the skcetches taken from is published long ago (in 1982) with color artworks, a whole story "Trafalger" and some of Aoike's sketchs.

There are big scans in the liked pages.
(these posts are under schlosseberbach-memeber locked)

2/3: The Major on a payday and Dorian with shorter hair
3/3: Tryian and period bad guys

I hope you enjoy it !

Notes: This story is my personal favorite of all the side stories. It has nothing to do with the fact that it’s a Klaus-centric story. (Well, maybe just a little.) I love the fact that the Major seems to have turned off his Iron Klaus radar and is completely oblivious to the KGB swarming around him. Equally amusing is that the KGB interprets everything his does as cunning ploys to thwart them. It is pure crack, and I love it to pieces.

Notes: I realize this will sound odd, but I think this is the most visual story thus far. The author seems very comfortable with the way the characters have been established and is now playing with them. The wonderful wordless images that tell us exactly what the character is thinking. The Major and his men on the plane is a great example. (page 179) She also takes full advantage of the “vastness” of Alaska. There are lots of lovely backgrounds and sweeping landscapes. (pages 181-2, 198, 199, 202,)

Notes: This story has my favorite artistic rendering style for the Major. He no longer has the androgynous look of the first two books, and is more accurately proportioned to a normal human being. As is Dorian. When I think of the Major, this is the style in which I picture him.

Oh, yeah. And the cover is to die for. It isn’t the same as on the Japanese Book Four. I have no idea how the author got the Major into that leather outfit, but I would willingly fight Dorian for a chance to peel him out of it.

That reminded me some parts that I've been wondering after reading CMX book.
--- Let me give a prelude, this is really, really stupidly minor thing,
maybe more like language matter to me.

Notes: I know I've been promising these for a long time. They are from part 3 of story 20, Book 30.

foxypope, you'll be interested to know that this story starts out in May of 2002, when Russia entered into a partnership with NATO. From what I can gleen from just flipping through the first part, Klaus is ordered to work with Mischa, the information coming from Polar Bear, who manages to give the dear Major a swift kick in the ass! XD

At some point in this, the Major dons a burka as a disguise.
