Anime marathon.

osarabaI took the opportunity of the 3-day weekend to get some anime-watching done. I think I really dislike watching in fits and starts, so I tend to put everything off until I have a lot and then go on an anime-watching marathon. Of course, there are exceptions, like when I'm really, really into something (read: Fruit Basket), and I'll watch it whenever I can get my hands on the next volume.
Angelica gets pissed at me because of this. She keeps telling me to watch something 'cause it's really good, and she wants to be able to talk to me about it, etc. But I have to be in the right mood to watch certain things. I mean, I don't watch anime just for anime's sake. I watch it because I like it, because I think the acting -- in comparison with that of the US -- is on a higher level, emotionally, and because the stories -- especially in comparison with the formulated sitcom of the US -- is on a much higher level all around. Of course, there are exceptions to this, too. But -- and I'm not ashamed to admit it -- I'm descriminating.
So, can I help it if I'm not in the mood for Excel Saga or Full Metal Panic right now? Sorry. I'm caught in the hooks of Hikaru no Go and Kodomo no Omocha at the moment.
