Oh woe.

The Dresden Files was pretty darn bad.

There were things that were very different from the series, and I could understand why they might have changed those things. But there was also the fact that the story sucked. Predictable, formulaic, stupid, boring. And, oh yes, BAD ACTING. I'll give it another chance or two, but if it doesn't get better I'll have to drop it. I don't have the patience for bad TV.

My biggest problem? They killed Bob. How they killed him. Oh, Bob. Your distinctly unique personality, your charm and wit -- you were not meant to be Dresden's moral conscience.

I wonder how jimbutcher feels about it.

Have you loved a manga today?

Read the Hikaru no Go manga over the weekend.

It is absolute love.

The end of the anime goes up to volume 17, I believe. From what I remember of the anime, I'd say that surprisingly the end of the anime felt kind of rushed in comparison to the end of that part of the manga. Volume 18 is mostly side-stories. But volumes 19 through 23 depict a new chapter in Hikaru's life of Go. It's really quite good and I can now see the Hikaru/Akira and Isumi/Waya much more clearly. ^^ Hikaru/Akira still wouldn't be my favorite (I just don't like Akira all that much, although definitely more than before), but I do very much enjoy being able to now see the friendship past the rivalry.

Hotta-sensei is just as blunt with us as she was throughout the rest of the story, and I love her more for it even while I want her to wrap the story up with a pretty bow. Obata-sensei's art is awesome all throughout, but we finally get to see Hikaru (and others) looking more mature, and let's face it, HOT. He loses the chubby-cheeked look and keeps the awesome hairstyle that was too cool for the kid he was, but now makes him bishounen. <3

I want more, dammit! I want to follow his trials as he moves up in the rankings! Why does it have to end here?!
