Maou X Trick

Oh... That "Trick" series.

Three seasons + 2 SPs + 3 Movies + 1 Spinoff <333


I love the quirkiness of the main/regular characters. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is really brilliant work. It wouldn't suit the general audience's taste [of doramas] but when it does, it's a marvelous feeling. It makes me happy to notice those inside jokes and items from past cases showing up everywhere... and the YAMADAxUEDA pairing(!!!!!!) <3

It is SO OBVIOUS that they have feelings toward each other. Even if the scenes happen because of other selfish reasons, THEY LOVE EACH OTHER. Trick 3 ended with that marriage proposal unreadable character. It could end that beautifully... but with sequels in the form of dorama SPs, movies and a spinoff, they can't pair these two [yet]...so..we are served with the usual quibbling couple again.

Oh, well. They'll always grow old and happily married in my ideal fanfics.

Sorry..this review is an odd one.

Actually I want to blog about Maou. There were several cases in Trick that reminded me of things that made me love Maou. Love to watch Maou. (I think it's weird to say you love a revenge story). First, the second story in Trick 2. The accurate fortuneteller story. The whole thing, about how she made her fortunetellings "accurate", is like Naruse's way. The Sweet Potato guy spoke of her as committing crimes without "dirtying her hands". I remember watching this story the first time in the past and thought it was a really clever trick. I wished to see more of things like this...and when I [finally] watch Maou last year, I was awed by Naruse-sensei's plans and how they turned out successfully. (Man... That was brilliant!!)

Then there's another story : the fourth story in Trick 3. The Kameyama family. I could only see this one with Maou in mind after I already watch Maou. The Kameyama's lawyer. He didn't plan out things like Naruse but by not telling the present family about their financial problems, one family member killed the others...and in the end everyone gained nothing. The lawyer purposely became the family's lawyer so that he can ruin the family. When I saw this scene, I went "MAOU!!!!!!" LOL Oh.. And he was avenging his younger sister (Maou, brother!!!), who committed suicide because the Kameyama family decided she wasn't fit to be a Kameyama's wife.


End of Maou X Trick rant.


Someday, hopefully, I will write a crossover fanfic on this.
