30 Day Manga/Anime Meme - Days 27 & 28
Oct. 19th, 2012 12:03 pmAlmost finished with this!
27. A manga/an anime you would never buy
One that I had already watched and decided I didn't want, obviously. :P I don't blind-buy much when it comes to anime. I rent from Netflix first, then decide if it's worth buying. That means it has to earn at least a seven (preferably an eight) rating on My Anime List. Anything rated six or below, I have no interest in rewatching. (The few I do own with a lower rating were blind buys, usually purchased just because they were ridiculously cheap and I didn't care if they sucked.) So, yeah, you can just check that link to see which series I would never buy.
Manga is different, since I do mostly blind buy. (I only read scanlations for series that aren't licensed.) However, I can say without a doubt that I will never buy anything like Bleach, One Piece, or Naruto. They're just way too long!
28. A manga you think is so brilliant it’s like literature
Hmm, well, I don't know if I would go so far as to it's "so brilliant, it's like literature," but I happen to think Fruits Basket is pretty brilliant for a manga. That's close enough, right?
In other news, I don't think I'm going to reach my goal of completing Melting Ice by the end of the year, but I am currently about three chapters ahead, which is pretty good. It's also about to pass the one-hundred review mark over at FF.net, thanks to two enthusiastic readers who decided to review every posted chapter so far. ^_^ Rather exciting. It'll be my third story to do so, but my first non-SM work to reach that milestone, so I'm happy about that.
