Oh fuck yes. lauraleaf has a habit of friends-locking her fics before I can get around to reccing them properly, so for fuck's sake go read this one before she's done it up. "Up a Level". Fuji matchmakes as only Fuji can and OH MY GOD I AM IN LOVE. And don't tell anyone I said this but if every Fuji fic was this good I'd be begging for Power Triangle

Well, everyone loves it, and it gets props from me for being very pretty, and for having a truly kickass female lead character.

That said, I'm just not feeling it. I've watched 2 and a half eps over a really long time (and also read the first 2 issues of the manga), and for me the love just hasn't clicked. It's just starting to get interesting, so possibly I'm saying this too early, but basically it's a lot like all the other anime series that I've not gotten drawn into over the years - mostly because fantasy has never been my thing in any format, and most anime, this one included, is a fantasy series. That said, if you like shinigami stories, you'll probably love it, because everyone else does.

It starts really slow. It took me 3 months to watch 5 eps hyjfujkguk and then I watched like 20 in a row and then lost interest again.

Nah I don't think it has anything to do with what the show is about; for me it's the characterisations. I need to feel for at least the main character in the first ep or I'd lose interest. I mean tennis players are really not my thing, and yet.
