This post is spoilery…and emotionally driven. As a warning for people who haven’t watched this series yet: It’s very depressing. Only watch if you have the heart to stomach it. You know how the Japanese just love to indulge in their tragedies…

How cow, I can’t believe that it’s been almost two years since I last blogged this series! Where has the time passed? I didn’t think it was that long ago since I posted something about this amazing series, but the computer does not lie unless I program it to. Not much has happened between then, only that I know that my writing has greatly deteriorated if you read my previous posts as well as my lapse in memory. Anyhow, having had such a long span between this episode and the previous one, it’s been a challenge trying to remember half of what occurred. Who are Renton and Eureka again? Heh, my memory isn’t that bad yet, but there’s a lot that still fails to come to mind, and it just goes to show you that if you neglect something long enough, you’ll soon forget it…no matter how important it may be. I last posted about this series when this show was still airing, so I doubt anyone would still be interested in reading anything I have to write about it. Despite that, I still want to complete the series mainly for my own blogging goals more than anything else instead of leaving it in limbo like I have for so many of the other shows I’ve blogged in the past. Just don’t ask me why it’s taken me such a long time to continue this series because I don’t have a legitimate answer. I could make up a number of excuses, but the fact is that I’m finally continuing now, and that’s all that matters, right?

So, it is true that Eva does indeed have some redeeming qualities left in her, though you wouldn’t know it from watching previous episodes. I still don’t care for her character at all, but I could relate to her longing for Kenzo…for companionship. I think the episode does a good job of showing that she isn’t all that bad…though I still wouldn’t trust her if my life depended on it. If she didn’t have to be so desperate for attention (or other things) all the time, she wouldn’t be so disliked by everyone. Doesn’t she notice how people treat her? As soon as they see her coming, they turn the other way in disgust. It’s a direct response to how she’s been treating others. Look at how she treated Kenzo’s date - who would ever want someone like her? Her stalking is creepy enough and would easily drive anyone away. It’s sad that without her money, she has absolutely nothing in her life and nobody to turn to for help. I especially think it’s tragic that she’s stooped so low in her life that she is willing to sell her body for money. Eva isn’t entirely a bad person, but she represents a lot of people who are filled with emptiness because of the bad choices they’ve made in life.
Oh, and we finally get to see Johan again, although very briefly. Just what is he up to?
When there’s nothing to do in the bathroom except to wait, and wait, and wait for things to happen (I won’t go into detail), you need something to do. You know I’m right. One of the most boring non-activities in life is to be sitting on the toilet with absolutely nothing to look at. So…back in February I decided to open up my January issue of Shojo Beat and began reading this familiar titled called Honey and Clover. I was skeptical about it because I found the anime to be incredibly silly [based only on the first two episodes]. It seemed pointless and lacked the seriousness that I like to see in shoujo. However, as I kept reading, I discovered that beneath the silliness lied a very deep and rich story of complex characters that were going through exactly what I’ve been going through this past year…and from that point on, I’ve been hooked. In fact, it’s become my favorite material to read. I love it. I can’t get enough of it. From unrequited love to lost love…I’m so in love with it. I can relate to it on soo many levels. There was a certain chapter that made me cry and cry and cry…when Ayu was drunk and revealed her feelings to you-know-who as her tears came pouring out…oh man. Priceless. Tears wouldn’t stop flowing from my eyes. I’ve been there. I know how it feels.
Now I can’t wait to watch the anime and relive it.
Oh, and another thing: I am now a co-blogger at Natsukashii if you haven’t already noticed. Thanks again, Os, for the invite.
First things first - I upgraded to Wordpress 2.5, and I love the dashing new stylish Dashboard. It’s a lot less cluttered, the colors are really nice, and I just think it’s a lot snazzier than older versions. The best feature of all is the install itself - for such a drastic upgrade, I had expected errors like I usually do after each install, but for once I didn’t encounter any errors. Upgrading isn’t for everyone, but if you feel comfortable enough to take the plunge, it’s worth it just to check out the new features.
And of course, to get to the most important news of all - VAMPIRE KNIGHT IS SUBBED!!
With time permitting, I hope to get my post done by Friday. However, I’m not waiting on watching it.
