Thoughts
So, last night I found out xxxholic ended, and of course, immdeiately went to go read the last several chapters. Now, Clamp's track record suggests that you shouold expect nothing good from an ending (if they bother to end it at all), but I couldn'r help but have hope that the ending would be worthy of the magnificence thar is xxxholic. But like with TRC, I was disappointed, angry, and confused. Not only did it sink my ship, but it was abrupt, and felt like it hadn't been planned. I mean, has Clamp ever heard of outlining? I know its hard - I've had issues with planning the plot of my graphic novel - but it would prevent this sort of crap. Simply put, Clamp cant keep screwing over their fans like this. People are gonna not want to get involved in their future projects, if this is how they end up.
It's weird, but I havent been too into anime/manga recenlty, and honestly, I feel like this really cemented it. I mean, being burned by my favorite manga really made it clear. Right now, western television has treated me so much better. I recently developed a deep, obsessive (and frankly overdue) love for Doctor Who, to the point where its become my all-timne favorite television show. And then there;s Glee, which basically delivered above and beyond my wildest fannish dreams. I mean, we got an AMAZING Klaine kiss. I pretty much died and went to heaven. At this point, even thinking about xxxholic feels like a waste of time with these other brilliant things going on.
