Joking and macros aside, it's rather obvious I've been sorta out of Oofuri fandom for a while for various reasons (PaR burnout->Soul Eater->The World Ends With You->Hetalia). Since I haven't been paying very much attention to the series I don't really notice when chapters come out anymore though, so three months of Kasukabe/Musashino didn't seem *as* weird to me as when I was still hanging on to every update. But for people who are still hoping for something else to happen I guess it'd be pretty crapy, huh. I feel like I was honest about my feelings of being let down with Higuchi's anti-climatic Bijou arc, but seriously, part of it's also that a year in fandom is more than enough for me so I was kind of expecting it to be over and I could just move on. But it didn't happen, so I moved on anyway? In any case, I'm trying not to let the fact that Oofuri is now ULTIMATE BLAH stop me from having fond memories and being thankful for all the friends its brought me.

ETA: The droopy-eyed chick is kinda creepy, but I didn't think to go so far as melting Nazi...
No tl;dr at all : )leviosa8December 10 2008, 10:18:32 UTC
Yeah, I wish I could have been able to be immediately honest to myself as you were. But it caught me unawares, I had a lot in my mind by the time the Big Letdown (--- new title for the series)happened, and then I was holding on to small straws of hope. No chance, it seems.
I wish it was easier for me to move from one fandom to another, but I guess it's not in my character, or I am already burned out about certain things, I don't know. I'd be much happier if I could, I know : (
She's going for HER story regardless of the audience, it seems. The series is advertised everywhere as "Even if you don't know a thing about baseball, it doesn't matter!!", but the truth is that if you don't like baseball from the start (and even so!), it gets VERY BORING. I mean, YOU CAN'T SPEND SO MUCH TIME IN THE MINDS OF SECONDARY CHARACTERS FROM RIVAL TEAMS THINKING ABOUT WHAT KIND OF BALL WILL COME NEXT!! WHO THE HELL CARES!!!??? It was already hard with Abe and... Kazu. How the hell can we stand it with unrelated games!? No way, man, no way.
At this point, I too feel like cutting it off and focusing on the happy times where the anime stopped. They were clever, the anime staff.
RE: ETA. I think I have a fixation on those melting nazis, I admit it. They left a big impression on me, and still now I turn my eyes away whenever I watch that scene, just like Indy and Marion.
Ew Alien.
