.....
Why? Why me? Why now?
I absolutely ADORE Wolfs Rain, and im only on episode eight. What I thought was the end of the first DVD wasnt actually the end of the first DVD at all. After episode seven I pressed "next", and nothing happened, the chapter slider at the top was all the way to the right, that meant I had seen everything and it was time to move on to the next DVD. I switched it over to DVD 2 and pressed play.
Then it happened.
Filler episodes. Now, these arent so bad, I could skip over them, but something was wrong. When I finished carefully skipping the filler episodes, the story wasnt the same, everything was different. So, I thought, that there must be a little extra something woven into the filler episodes to explain why they are where they are. So I went back, and I watched a bit. Thats funny, I thought, these filler episodes suck ass. Why? Because they REVEAL THINGS THAT HAVENT HAPPENED IN THE STORY YET. I thought it was just explaining something in a terrible way, but it wasnt, it was SPOILING THE FUCKING STORY. That hurt. The one thing that actually stirred any real emotion in me since.. since.. well.. as far as my limited memory can remember.. and THIS has to happen to it! :(
Frustrated, I googled for an episode guide site, and find out the last episode I watched BEFORE the filler pieces kicked in. As it turns out, I was missing several episodes between the end of the first DVD and the start of the second. My heart sank. My heart sank HEAVY. I was determined to make sure I hadnt overlooked something, but if the chapter-slider is all the way to the right, and pressing 'next' does nothing, then thats it, DVD over.
I was wrong.
It turns out that there is another menu you can access through right click, that displays not just episodes 1-7, but the rest of the episodes I was looking for. But you know what? As much of a relief that was, a whole bunch of the story im about to watch has been spoiled for me. Of ALL the things that could have happened.... this had to happen.
Why to this? This is about the only thing that has emotionally effected me in a non-negative way in a long while, its something I look forward to watching on a night, to break up the monotony of not really living, just existing. And this just... ruined my night, I guess. Im going to try carry on watching it in order, the way its supposed to be watched, but now im going to be paranoid that i've missed something, as well as having to get rid of this lingering shitty feeling around me and in my gut -again-.
*sighs softly and rubs the back of his head*
Never fails.
