fruity thoughts

[seichan]

The manga, Fruits Basket, is coming to a close (ppl have been saying 3? more chapters). Here're my thoughts so far:
+ Hanajima and Kazuma are pretty cute together. (and the least annoying pairing).
- Plot straying from the curse and focusing on brainless therapy and 'hooking' up was disappointing.
--- Akito being a lonely girl having a crazed mother like the rest of them was so unoriginal.
---- Yuki hooking up with Tohru's twin is very lame.
---- Ayame not being gay..*weep*.
+++ Momiji is grown up and hot and still single.
- Plot hasn't been funny in well over 50 chapters.
- What happened to the animals and nekid transformations?
(more impressions later after I see how it ends)

I also did a marathon watching of Jigoku Shoujo. It had an interesting conclusion with a slightly more violent explanation than I had expected. I wouldn't say it was a great show since none of the characters attracted you in (it was dull much of the time), but for something to pass the time, it had a haunting atmosphere and visually, it reflected that feeling.

Ouran Koukou Host Club 7! was entertaining as usual. This episode focused on Mori and Honey who are still a bit squeaky in my book.
