I haven't bought anything in a while, the last thing was Fruits Basket. I wanted to buy Prince of Tennis but I can't find a good set at a good price, and stuff is still being released...bah. (So ridiculously obsessed with it, OMG. Ryoma! *Ahem*)
Since I finished Last Friends I haven't watched another drama, either. If I do feel like it, I'll start with Bump Off Lover. ;)
Tee hee, your PoT obsession is awesomely cute. I can't think of Ryoma Echizen without thinking of Hongo Kanata and you know how much I adore that kid

I haven't seen it all the way through, episodes are somewhat difficult to find online right now because YA Entertainment recently licensed it and it got yanked off crunchyroll. All the video links for the episodes are broken on mysoju although I hear the mods are trying to fix that so hopefully they'll be operational soon. YA decided to license it for dvd distribution after it was aired in 8 countries in Asia and was a monster hit. The fan meet and greet last year with the lead actor sold out in half and hour, all 5,000 tickets.
All the episodes I've seen were after hunting on veoh and youtube. I've watched a lot of the fanmade music videos on youtube so I spoiled myself but I'm glad I did because it doesn't really ruin the story for me and thank God there is a happy ending (a very happy ending) which is rare in Asian dramas which usually end with one or both of the leads dead (Asian and their Thanatos obsession!). To wit:
I actually specifically wanted to spoil myself because I love the characters so much that I wasn't sure I

Oh, good! Yay, happy endings. But now how am *I* gonna watch this...darn it woman.
I'm about to buy Wolf's Rain, because the episodes are all effed up on Netflix, out of order, on the wrong discs. It's driving me nuts. Anime gets no respect!
I think youtube does have most of the show, it just takes a bit of searching. In any event, once I receive my dvds maybe the fellows in the video duplication dept at my work can burn some copies for me to send to you if I ask them nicely.
That sucks about Netflix...I've been thinking about subscribing for ages, but I don't know how worth the money it would be since I don't really watch American film or television any more.
Wolf's Rain is a smart investment, I think, because it's a very good show and considered one of those benchmark ground-breaking animes.
Netflix has a pretty good selection of foreign films and anime, but maybe since you're in L.A. you could find a better service for that. I don't have a lot of options where I live. And I don't watch much American stuff anymore either, I just have no interest in it. But Netflix is generally reliable and fast. Plus I like the "recommend" feature which is how I ended up watching Bleach, Air Gear, Wolf's Rain, and Bloood + to begin with - they're my OTHER crack dealer. :D

Well, maybe I could find Asian entertainment stuff more easily if I lived in the San Gabriel Valley or Koreatown but the former is out of the question since it is way too far from work and the latter because I don't wanna get mugged or jacked although the rent is so much cheaper, there are so many good Korean restaurants there, and my friend who lives there informs me that there's all these gorgeous Korean boys walking around -- I never see any of these mythical gorgeous Korean boys she speaks of whenever I'm in K-Town so I think she lies

Hee, nah, I'm the same way. Or I guess we're just both not normal.
Netflix is a good value. My plan is under $20/month for unlimited 3-at-a-time rentals, pretty reasonable to me, given how much I watch. Maybe you should browse selections first before committing, though you can also cancel at any time. (Also if you joined I could friend you on there if you didn't mind, and then see your ratings and what you're watching, vice-versa. It's just another way to stalk you from afar. :D)

Spring Waltz really sounds interesting. Have you seen through to the end? I don't want a sad/tragic ending (you seem to like those!).
