mini-update

Feel as if I'm gnawing on my own liver.

There was Uni work today, but otherwise re-read bits of Eyeshield 21 (match against the NASA Aliens.) Will blog about it when I can actually form some sort of coherent thought beyond ‘Hiruma is COOL!’ or 'Sena as Eyeshield is AWESOME!' and you know, the feeling of gnawing on my own liver.

:))) That's probably why I like it! I laughed a lot at one of my good friends when she first got into Prince of Tennis, because I was imagining that it was really about tennis, not about the rivalries between boys who play a cross between tennis & quidditch. (Likewise, Slam Dunk and I'll/Generation Basket aren't really about basketball, are they?) I like those themes most of all when they don't come with sports!

I just have so much antipathy towards sports that I really can't get past long enough to enjoy the series. I blame my pro athlete father. :D

I might read Hajime no Ippo one day, though.

*laughs* I cna understand!

(I'd argue against that for the simple reason that somewhere along way it does end up being about the sports because the characters love it so much and by default you end loving it with them. And I have a friend who will argue till she's blue in the face that Slam Dunk is about Basketball and life, and I admit I can't disagree with her on that one.) I LOVE those themes when it comes with sports! Because you rarely find that kind of energy or passion in other series.

It is OK, we all have out shortcomings. XP

GOOD! But I honetly suggest the anime, it is awesome!
