Just finished Cardcaptor Sakura. When I started watching I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought it would just be a simple episodic anime, the way Ranma 1/2 is. Sakura catches a card and solves a problem. It turned out to be much more. There was an over all story arc that built towards the final episode. Also the characters changed and developed. It got better as the series progressed. It really is a good anime and I found myself enjoying it.
I try to watch an old classic anime along with the current shows. Cardcaptor Sakura was the latest old one that I finished. The 70 episode length sort of intimidated me at first. But I watched a few shows when I had the time and eventually it was completed.
Now I need to make a decision about Fairy Tail. I started watching this one before Cardcaptor Sakura. I have been stuck at 69 episodes out of 175 for months. I don't know if I will keep watching. I should make a decision to drop or watch. There are other anime on my PTW list that I want to see so I need to start watching those as well.
I only have two Korean shows that I am watching one of them, Sketchbook, is out but without the subs. That is my Friday night show but I will have to wait for the subs to be fixed. There is a disclaimer about the subs so it is known that the subs are missing. I don't know where the problem is, either KBS World or YouTube. More time for anime watching if the subs aren't available.
Last week I finished Your Lie in April. I thought about blogging about this show earlier but never got around to writing. So I will say something now. It is an excellent show. I watched the first episode and watched a total of ten before I stopped. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I had to stop for sleep, but over three days I completed the anime. It is beautiful and moving.
I gave it a 10 only because I couldn't give it a 9.5. I would have liked a better score. The music wasn't as dramatic and moving as it could have been. The anime features musicians and performances. This music was good, it is the incidental music that was lacking. Overall a wonderful show. Thanks again to Brand.
