The first two episodes of the Prince of Tennis C-drama came out yesterday, or maybe the day before (I had no internet, on a family trip). I’ve been waiting for this for a really long time, so I’m so happy it’s actually here! I watched episode one today- it legit took me 3 hours. o_o Including food breaks, fangirling breaks, rewatching scenes over and over…and I watched the first half of it twice because after I watched it once, I found a translation of it (here). Since it’s Chinese, I really can’t understand any of it…
I was going to write a legit post about this, but I couldn’t focus on screencaps since I was fangirling so much, and since I was just ranting to my stepsister over IM about it anyway (notice how she ignored me the entire time!) I figured I’ll just copy-paste that in here! =D
So join me on a journey through the Chinese drama adaptation of The Prince of Tennis, aka Wang Qiu Wang Zi, including lots of wtf-ing over weird changes (such as Yuuta at Seigaku and the whole college thing), fangirling over the characters and just the new adaptation in general (considering there hasn’t been much new PoT material ever since the manga ended), and angsting over the inability to figure out which guy is which character! (Which I still haven’t quite figured out.)
ObsessedShinoFan (12:17:21 PM): oh well, off to watch the c-drama.
ObsessedShinoFan (12:17:24 PM): dude I can’t tell who’s who…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:18:03 PM): except for Tezuka
ObsessedShinoFan (12:18:09 PM): and Inui has his glasses so he’s obvious…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:18:11 PM): and Kaidou..
ObsessedShinoFan (12:18:13 PM): and Ryoma
ObsessedShinoFan (12:18:14 PM): but that’s it.
ObsessedShinoFan (12:18:27 PM): I can’t tell who’s Fuji, Eiji, Oishi, Momo, and Taka
ObsessedShinoFan (12:18:28 PM): o_o
ObsessedShinoFan (12:20:08 PM): rooar
ObsessedShinoFan (12:20:18 PM): I can’t tell who’s with Kaidou in one of the scenes in the opening
ObsessedShinoFan (12:20:23 PM): wait
ObsessedShinoFan (12:20:31 PM): he doesn’t have glasses, which means it’s probably Momo
ObsessedShinoFan (12:20:34 PM): arg
ObsessedShinoFan (12:22:23 PM): wha
ObsessedShinoFan (12:22:41 PM): they have their regulars outfits but in all the tournament scenes in the opening song they’re in different outfits…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:22:53 PM): but what’s the point of the usual regular outfit then…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:23:54 PM): I want this song
ObsessedShinoFan (12:23:55 PM): it’s good
ObsessedShinoFan (12:25:13 PM): there are so many Inui/Kaidou scenes in this opening
ObsessedShinoFan (12:25:15 PM): this is amazing
ObsessedShinoFan (12:25:27 PM): but I have yet to see the golden pair, or at least I haven’t been able to identify them…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:25:28 PM): D:
ObsessedShinoFan (12:27:50 PM): Kaidou would never, ever hug Inui after winning, not right there on the court
ObsessedShinoFan (12:28:04 PM): but that just makes it so amazing cause this is legit material and he actually does it
ObsessedShinoFan (12:29:48 PM): hmm
ObsessedShinoFan (12:29:53 PM): they changed the setting to China…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:29:58 PM): which shouldn’t be surprising, but still…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:32:18 PM): I really hope “The Youth College” is just fail Engrish
ObsessedShinoFan (12:32:31 PM): instead of actually changing the setting to college
ObsessedShinoFan (12:36:09 PM): oh boy
ObsessedShinoFan (12:36:18 PM): I just remembered they changed the names
ObsessedShinoFan (12:36:26 PM): so names won’t help either
ObsessedShinoFan (12:36:33 PM): how the fuck am I supposed to figure out who’s who
ObsessedShinoFan (12:36:34 PM): XD
ObsessedShinoFan (12:36:58 PM): not like any of them play any prominent part in the first couple of chapters/episodes of the manga/anime…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:37:47 PM): KAIDOU
ObsessedShinoFan (12:37:48 PM): YEAH
ObsessedShinoFan (12:40:00 PM): why is Ryoma playing Kaidou first off
ObsessedShinoFan (12:40:09 PM): dude this is JUST LIKE the live-action movie
ObsessedShinoFan (12:41:39 PM): looolll Kaidou tries to give Ryoma a handicap by playing with his other hand
ObsessedShinoFan (12:42:03 PM): took me a minute to realize Kaidou’s not a freaking lefty lol
ObsessedShinoFan (12:44:56 PM): lol Tezuka.
ObsessedShinoFan (12:45:08 PM): man Kaidou doesn’t really look as scary in this
ObsessedShinoFan (12:45:11 PM): xD
ObsessedShinoFan (12:46:02 PM): I understood something!
ObsessedShinoFan (12:46:03 PM): xDD
ObsessedShinoFan (12:46:15 PM): Horio just went “His name is Long Ma”
ObsessedShinoFan (12:46:16 PM): wheeeeeeeeee
ObsessedShinoFan (12:46:23 PM): that’s my limited Chinese knowledge right there
ObsessedShinoFan (12:48:14 PM): whee I think I finally ID’d Taka and Momo
ObsessedShinoFan (12:48:28 PM): now to figure out Oishi, Eiji, and Fuji
ObsessedShinoFan (12:48:59 PM): actually I’ll probably be able to tell as soon as they do close-ups, from the promo pics it looked like their hair was somewhat different
ObsessedShinoFan (12:49:51 PM): lol Nanjirou is fail!
ObsessedShinoFan (12:49:59 PM): he forgot to pick Ryoma up at the airport.
ObsessedShinoFan (12:50:13 PM): and so then he rushed to get there, but he accidentally picked up the TV remote instead of his cell phone
ObsessedShinoFan (12:50:29 PM): and Ryoma got bored and went to Seigaku from the airport so Nanjirou can’t find him
ObsessedShinoFan (12:50:39 PM): lol
ObsessedShinoFan (12:52:10 PM): Kaidou seems so different in this
ObsessedShinoFan (12:52:17 PM): I like it, but it’s weird…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:55:45 PM): he’s like, pleading with Tezuka about something
ObsessedShinoFan (12:55:56 PM): I think it’s about his match with Ryoma but I can’t tell…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:56:17 PM): I reallly, really can’t imagine anime Kaidou doing anything like this
ObsessedShinoFan (12:56:19 PM): o_o
ObsessedShinoFan (12:57:03 PM): he’d be all mad about it, but Kaidou in this drama is just like…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:57:05 PM): I dunno
ObsessedShinoFan (12:57:06 PM): o_o
ObsessedShinoFan (12:57:52 PM): loolll is that Fuji in the bright pink shirt
ObsessedShinoFan (12:57:54 PM): I think it is…
ObsessedShinoFan (12:58:36 PM): Ryuuzaki’s a young woman
ObsessedShinoFan (12:58:37 PM): zomg
ObsessedShinoFan (12:59:47 PM): WAIT WHAT
ObsessedShinoFan (12:59:51 PM): regular team meeting, but
ObsessedShinoFan (1:00:02 PM): I ID’d 5 of them
ObsessedShinoFan (1:00:06 PM): and there are 4 people left
ObsessedShinoFan (1:00:14 PM): BUT RYOMA’S NOT HERE YET SO WHO’S THE 4th askldjfalsdkfdadkfljasdf
ObsessedShinoFan (1:00:20 PM): so confused
ObsessedShinoFan (1:00:36 PM): this does not help my issues IDing Eiji and Oishi
ObsessedShinoFan (1:00:57 PM): now I can’t get Taka either…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:00:58 PM): arg
ObsessedShinoFan (1:01:50 PM): wait
ObsessedShinoFan (1:01:57 PM): that…-isn’t- Ryoma, right…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:01:58 PM): ?
ObsessedShinoFan (1:02:01 PM): dammit I can’t tell
ObsessedShinoFan (1:02:21 PM): so
ObsessedShinoFan (1:02:22 PM): so
ObsessedShinoFan (1:02:23 PM): confused
ObsessedShinoFan (1:02:31 PM): OH MY gOD IS THAT KARUPIN
ObsessedShinoFan (1:02:41 PM): EVEN THOUgH IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE KARUPIN IT’S SOO CUTE
ObsessedShinoFan (1:03:04 PM): so uh, where’s the rest of the Echizen family
ObsessedShinoFan (1:03:12 PM): and, no temple?
ObsessedShinoFan (1:03:15 PM): looks like a modern house.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:03:16 PM): huh.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:04:31 PM): lots of talking…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:04:34 PM): I don’t understand any of this
ObsessedShinoFan (1:04:52 PM): but then again what Nanjirou tells Ryoma probably isn’t too immportant anyway, probably something about porn
ObsessedShinoFan (1:04:53 PM): o_o
ObsessedShinoFan (1:05:27 PM): lol Nanjirou still pwns Ryoma
ObsessedShinoFan (1:05:37 PM): but dude, I liked the temple with the dirt tennis court
ObsessedShinoFan (1:05:59 PM): it’s like, modern house in the city with normal fenced off tennis court…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:06:01 PM): aww
ObsessedShinoFan (1:06:02 PM): oh well
ObsessedShinoFan (1:07:01 PM): I wonder what “mada mada dane” is in Chinese
ObsessedShinoFan (1:07:04 PM): xD
ObsessedShinoFan (1:09:20 PM): I don’t understand but something’s going on with the third-year regulars and some girl
ObsessedShinoFan (1:09:24 PM): arg I wish I knew more Chinese
ObsessedShinoFan (1:09:47 PM): ok, this must be Fuji
ObsessedShinoFan (1:10:08 PM): I keep seeing the kanji for “Shuusuke” (although of course it’s read differently) in the subs
ObsessedShinoFan (1:10:26 PM): why do they have Chinese subs for a Chinese show
ObsessedShinoFan (1:10:27 PM): o_o
ObsessedShinoFan (1:10:35 PM): and they’re in white so half the time it’s hard to read…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:10:36 PM): o_o
ObsessedShinoFan (1:10:55 PM): er, in the subs when the girl is talking to the guy
ObsessedShinoFan (1:11:42 PM): this girl talks a lot.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:11:48 PM): wait I think I saw her in the opening theme
ObsessedShinoFan (1:12:09 PM): with Sakuno, who was already in the episode on the train in the beginning…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:12:13 PM): so maybe this girl is Tomoka
ObsessedShinoFan (1:12:18 PM): it would make sense personality-wise…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:12:58 PM): TEZUKAAAAA
ObsessedShinoFan (1:13:08 PM): interuppting the other third-years’ fun
ObsessedShinoFan (1:13:09 PM): of course.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:13:19 PM): *interrupting
ObsessedShinoFan (1:14:12 PM): I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY’RE SAYYIINNNggg
ObsessedShinoFan (1:14:33 PM): arg is it even worth watching part 2
ObsessedShinoFan (1:14:42 PM): I could wait for the subs, RandomFansubs did say they were gonna sub it
ObsessedShinoFan (1:15:33 PM): hmm.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:15:37 PM): well, either way, break timme.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:15:39 PM): *time
xokatiee 216 went away at 1:16:07 PM.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:16:17 PM): oh hell someone translated the script last nightAuto Response from xokatiee 216 (1:16:17 PM): lunch and pool
call meObsessedShinoFan (1:16:21 PM): why did I not see this before
ObsessedShinoFan (1:16:27 PM): HA you finally got tired of me spamming you
ObsessedShinoFan (1:16:28 PM): xD
ObsessedShinoFan (1:17:12 PM): oh dammit they really did make it a college thing!
ObsessedShinoFan (1:17:14 PM): O_________________O
ObsessedShinoFan (1:17:20 PM): that’s a pretty big difference
ObsessedShinoFan (1:17:40 PM): I thought they’d make it high-school…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:17:43 PM): duude that means…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:17:52 PM): roar how old are people in college
ObsessedShinoFan (1:17:56 PM): uhhhh
ObsessedShinoFan (1:18:08 PM): well if Ryoma’s 12 in the original, in 7th grade that means…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:18:13 PM): uhhh
ObsessedShinoFan (1:18:27 PM): he’s 18?
ObsessedShinoFan (1:18:35 PM): DUDE
ObsessedShinoFan (1:18:41 PM): THAT MEANS 3RD YEARS ARE 20
ObsessedShinoFan (1:18:44 PM): O______________________________O
ObsessedShinoFan (1:18:50 PM): so so so weird
ObsessedShinoFan (1:18:53 PM): so so sooooo weird
ObsessedShinoFan (1:25:19 PM): oh fuuuck
ObsessedShinoFan (1:25:25 PM): I need to talk to you when you get back
ObsessedShinoFan (1:25:36 PM): mom just told me something really important o_o
ObsessedShinoFan (1:26:34 PM): but it’s probably not the best idea to put it in the middle of spam, especially cause I decided that instead of trying to write a real review of the first two episodes of the PoT drama (I’ll save that for the subs) I’m just gonna paste this into my blog looollll
ObsessedShinoFan (1:26:54 PM): ANYWAY
ObsessedShinoFan (1:26:59 PM): ANYWAY back to PoT drama
ObsessedShinoFan (1:27:04 PM): fuck they’re really 20
ObsessedShinoFan (1:27:06 PM): that’s so weird
ObsessedShinoFan (1:27:38 PM): I mean, I knew the actors were pretty old (well not OLD, but old considering the characters) like I think Tezuka’s was like 28 or something
ObsessedShinoFan (1:27:47 PM): so I figured they’d put them in high school
ObsessedShinoFan (1:27:50 PM): but COLLEgE
ObsessedShinoFan (1:29:42 PM): well, I guess it all depends on birthdays, but right now I’ll just say Ryoma’s 18, Momo and Kaidou are 19, and the 3rd years are 20
ObsessedShinoFan (1:30:01 PM): I wonder how Chinese school system works
ObsessedShinoFan (1:30:08 PM): is it like America or like Japan?
ObsessedShinoFan (1:30:21 PM): if it’s like America, that means Tezuka will soon be 21 (in October)
ObsessedShinoFan (1:30:37 PM): if it’s like Japan, that means Oishi will soon be 21 (in late April)
ObsessedShinoFan (1:30:50 PM): I should look that up.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:32:10 PM): roar I don’t know where to look on Wikipedia o_o
ObsessedShinoFan (1:32:50 PM): oh there we go, Education in the People’s Republic of China should do itAuto Response from xokatiee 216 (1:32:51 PM): lunch and pool
call meObsessedShinoFan (1:33:09 PM): “For education in the Republic of China (Taiwan), see Education in the Republic of China (Taiwan).”
ObsessedShinoFan (1:33:21 PM): that made me lol
ObsessedShinoFan (1:33:25 PM): anyway
ObsessedShinoFan (1:34:12 PM): AH-HA
ObsessedShinoFan (1:34:19 PM): it’s like America
ObsessedShinoFan (1:34:31 PM): hmm.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:34:34 PM): so
ObsessedShinoFan (1:34:54 PM): going by birthdays…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:34:59 PM): (why am I reading into this so much)
ObsessedShinoFan (1:35:01 PM): this means…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:35:56 PM): Tezuka (October something-or-other), Taka (11/14), Eiji (11/21), Fuji (2/29), Oishi (4/something), Inui (6/2?)
ObsessedShinoFan (1:36:13 PM): is the order of the age of the 3rd years
ObsessedShinoFan (1:36:50 PM): and Kaidou’s older than Momo.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:37:14 PM): lol I went on Kaidou’s wiki page…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:37:18 PM): KAIDOU NAME STARTS WITH K
ObsessedShinoFan (1:37:19 PM): xD
ObsessedShinoFan (1:37:21 PM): ANYWAY
ObsessedShinoFan (1:37:24 PM): C-DRAMA
ObsessedShinoFan (1:37:27 PM): UH
ObsessedShinoFan (1:37:57 PM): WHEEEE
ObsessedShinoFan (1:38:06 PM): the translated script uses all the Japanese names!
ObsessedShinoFan (1:38:27 PM): should I watch part 1 over again with the script or should I just move on to part 2…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:39:28 PM): “Horio: I’ve been playing since my second year of high school!”
ObsessedShinoFan (1:39:30 PM): *dies*
ObsessedShinoFan (1:39:52 PM): I saw this in the subs when I was watching it, I saw something about second year of high school
ObsessedShinoFan (1:40:38 PM): ok, I decided, I’m watching it again with the translation
ObsessedShinoFan (1:40:43 PM): wheeeee
ObsessedShinoFan (1:40:59 PM): WHEEEE THE OPENINg AgAIN
ObsessedShinoFan (1:41:02 PM): <33333
ObsessedShinoFan (1:41:08 PM): I want this song
ObsessedShinoFan (1:41:31 PM): there are a couple of InuKai scenes here, I love it
ObsessedShinoFan (1:41:37 PM): Kaidou seems pretty OOC…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:46:37 PM): I wonder…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:47:04 PM): there’s a short scene in the opening that looks to me like a far-off shot of two Seigaku guys hugging with no one around them
ObsessedShinoFan (1:47:18 PM): I wonder if it’s just me yaoi fangirling or if it’s legit…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:47:45 PM): WAIT
ObsessedShinoFan (1:47:50 PM): DEFINITELY DEFINITELY TWO PEOPLE
ObsessedShinoFan (1:47:59 PM): I really wanna know who it is now…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:49:04 PM): please be golden pair
ObsessedShinoFan (1:49:08 PM): or Inui and Kaidou
ObsessedShinoFan (1:49:14 PM): or Momo and Ryoma
ObsessedShinoFan (1:49:34 PM): I really doubt it’s Tezuka/Fuji but I guess if it was that’d be cool too
ObsessedShinoFan (1:51:22 PM): I am legit loving this so much right now.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:51:29 PM): why am I spending so much time watching the opening AgAIN
ObsessedShinoFan (1:51:30 PM): xD
ObsessedShinoFan (1:53:54 PM): Kaidou’s freaking everywhere
ObsessedShinoFan (1:54:00 PM): there were so many shots of him in the opening
ObsessedShinoFan (1:55:01 PM): whaaaa
ObsessedShinoFan (1:55:22 PM): so that’s what’s up with Ryoma’s family here
ObsessedShinoFan (1:55:47 PM): Nanjirou married an American woman but they’re living separately, the woman (aka Ryoma’s mom) lives in America
ObsessedShinoFan (1:55:50 PM): well then.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:55:54 PM): that’s quite a change.
ObsessedShinoFan (1:56:20 PM): ah, the translation helps so much lol
ObsessedShinoFan (1:56:33 PM): so I’m assuming this means no Nanako
ObsessedShinoFan (1:57:38 PM): Seishun College…
ObsessedShinoFan (1:57:42 PM): this’ll take me a while to get used to.
ObsessedShinoFan (2:03:07 PM): lol I thought Kaidou was different than usual, but he just doesn’t look as scary and angry
ObsessedShinoFan (2:03:16 PM): translations show he really is pissed of
ObsessedShinoFan (2:03:18 PM): *off
ObsessedShinoFan (2:03:19 PM): haha
ObsessedShinoFan (2:04:05 PM): WHAT
ObsessedShinoFan (2:04:06 PM): YUUTA

ObsessedShinoFan (2:04:41 PM): St. Rudolph…
ObsessedShinoFan (2:04:44 PM): asdlkfjalsdkfjalsdkfjasirueakdljdva
ObsessedShinoFan (2:04:46 PM): I’m so confused
ObsessedShinoFan (2:04:58 PM): BUT YUUTA DOESN’T gO TO SEIgAKU
ObsessedShinoFan (2:04:59 PM): DDDD:
ObsessedShinoFan (2:05:16 PM): so
ObsessedShinoFan (2:05:21 PM): does this mean no St. Rudolph arc
ObsessedShinoFan (2:05:29 PM): Yuuta will just angst at Seigaku?
ObsessedShinoFan (2:05:36 PM): this is weird.
ObsessedShinoFan (2:06:14 PM): Yuuta as a Seigaku regular…
ObsessedShinoFan (2:06:18 PM): such a weird thought
ObsessedShinoFan (2:08:19 PM): wha
ObsessedShinoFan (2:08:24 PM): “Tezuka: I’m the captain of Seigaku. You can call me Kunimitsu.”
ObsessedShinoFan (2:08:28 PM): oh man
ObsessedShinoFan (2:08:34 PM): it’s the English manga all over again!
ObsessedShinoFan (2:08:35 PM): DDD:
ObsessedShinoFan (2:08:49 PM): first names, huh…
ObsessedShinoFan (2:10:49 PM): wait
ObsessedShinoFan (2:10:58 PM): aw man I’m confused again, I still don’t know who’s who
ObsessedShinoFan (2:11:27 PM): the one I thought was Momo was actually Oishi, according to the translation
ObsessedShinoFan (2:12:25 PM): that can’t be right though, in the next scene the translator says the guy is Momo
ObsessedShinoFan (2:12:30 PM): arg
ObsessedShinoFan (2:12:32 PM): confused
ObsessedShinoFan (2:19:45 PM): wow, Ryoma’s kinda bitchy.
ObsessedShinoFan (2:19:59 PM): he wants to go back to America cause apparently Seigaku is all “third-class players”
ObsessedShinoFan (2:20:21 PM): you’ll see Ryoma, you’ll see.
ObsessedShinoFan (2:21:59 PM): oh, so THAT’S what it was
ObsessedShinoFan (2:22:05 PM): Tomoka was trying to get into the guy’s dorm
ObsessedShinoFan (2:22:10 PM): duuude they live in a dorm together?
ObsessedShinoFan (2:22:16 PM): so many possibilities…
ObsessedShinoFan (2:22:27 PM): I think I’m in yaoi fangirl mode right now.
ObsessedShinoFan (2:22:29 PM): xD
ObsessedShinoFan (2:22:41 PM): more Yuuta
ObsessedShinoFan (2:22:46 PM): BUT WHY IS YUUTA AT SEIgAKU
ObsessedShinoFan (2:22:48 PM): WHY
ObsessedShinoFan (2:22:52 PM): I DO NOT UNDERSTANDObsessedShinoFan (2:25:10 PM): roooaarrr what’s the deal with Yuutaa
ObsessedShinoFan (2:27:40 PM): loolll that’s Kaidou?
ObsessedShinoFan (2:27:49 PM): I didn’t recognize him without his bandana
ObsessedShinoFan (2:28:02 PM): lol I hope there are more scenes in the future at the dorm.
ObsessedShinoFan (2:28:36 PM): EIIIIJJJIIIIIIII
ObsessedShinoFan (2:28:39 PM): YAAAAAAAAY
ObsessedShinoFan (2:29:23 PM): now let’s see if I can remember this face and pay more attention to it during the group scenes
ObsessedShinoFan (2:31:40 PM): so they have their club meetings in Tezuka’s roomAuto Response from xokatiee 216 (2:31:42 PM): lunch and pool
call meObsessedShinoFan (2:31:45 PM): lol I like this dorm situation
ObsessedShinoFan (2:31:51 PM): I wonder who everyone’s roommates are
ObsessedShinoFan (2:31:56 PM): golden pair should be together!
ObsessedShinoFan (2:31:57 PM): lol
ObsessedShinoFan (2:32:04 PM): anyway that’s it for part 1!
ObsessedShinoFan (2:32:05 PM): finally.
ObsessedShinoFan (2:32:12 PM): that probably took me over an hour.
ObsessedShinoFan (2:32:18 PM): and it’s, what, 18 minutes of actual video?
ObsessedShinoFan (2:37:33 PM): alright, on to part 2!
ObsessedShinoFan (2:38:00 PM): holy fuck
ObsessedShinoFan (2:38:05 PM): Ryoma has a huge fucking room
ObsessedShinoFan (2:38:14 PM): daaamn
ObsessedShinoFan (2:39:41 PM): Sakuno likes art
ObsessedShinoFan (2:39:42 PM): that’s new.
