@Kris-chan: Haha, if your friend Ashe is anything like Asch in “Tales of the Abyss”, then I welcome the compliment. Well, if he doesn’t talk about it, then why don’t *you* bring it up, lol. While I’m not familiar with “Ouran”, you already know my familiarity with the “Fruits Basket” anime, if not its manga. Yeah-yeah, I know, you’re gonna gush that the manga is infinitely better. But if I ever post about “Furuba” or “Kuroshitsuji”, maybe I should bring a raft to weather your epic flood! ^_~

Haha, you’re just like my friend Ashe. He’s always teasing me, saying I hate everything, but I just tell him “That’s only because you never talk about the things I actually LIKE.” That’s all! You just take more notice of the things I don’t like because I get really passionate about them. I’m like that with things I LOVE too, but usually the things I’m writing about sit somewhere in the middle. Just wait until I finally get around to writing about Ouran High School and Fruits Basket, and I start gushing over how fabulous they are. :)

@Kris-chan: Haha, just 60% crap? I would never have guessed! But I think you’re right, you tend to REALLY hate something. Let’s see, in my case, I’d say only 33% is crap, but when I say it’s crap (1-of-5 or 2-of-5 stars), I usually highlight its strong points too, lol. So my speed-reviews are more even-handed. Which means that you probably “hate” something at least 3x as much as you “love” something. So mathematically, to account for this 3x factor, the 60%-40% separation would probably “triple” to a 80%-20% separation. In other words, 60% crap including the 3x “hate”-chill factor, gives a 80% crap value, lol. Ah, much closer! Okay, I think I went a little overboard.

P.S. I see. While I added “Skip Beat!” to my infinite list, I still have to add it to my BitTorrent list. Gotta clear out my hard drive space! ^o^

Lol, what? That’s a lie! I’d say maybe 60% of it is crap. ^_^

Actually, I like a lot more shows than I hate, it’s just that when I dislike something, I REALLY dislike it. So maybe those just stand out more?

But it does follow the manga faithfully, and it’s great to see things played out. I hope there’s another season, because the show stops right before one of the best parts.

@Kris-chan: Ahh, no worries. Really? An anime series actually passed through your “90% is crap” filter? Well, then, it’s a no-brainer. Just added it to my list. Although it might take a few weeks or months to get to it, lol.

Well, the Skip Beat! anime came out, this past fall I think. Crunchyroll streamed it too. The anime came out really good, I think; I was pleased with it.
The manga is one of my absolute favorites.

@Duckie-chan & @Kris-chan: Ahh, well-well… While I’ve never seen “Skip Beat” in any form, since the both of you seem to like it, I might have to add the anime version to my “infinite list”. Intriguing. Any objections? ^_~
