Well, the answer is no. At least I don’t think I am (hey~ you never know~). But I was thinking that way and I believe the question itself coming up has solved the question to one of my greatest mysteries. Though it’s less of a mystery and more of me just being naive and…well, it’s either stubborn or stupid. I can’t quite decide.

I’m talking about Skip Beat! and the fact that my coverage of it, despite switching to “arc posts” to make things easier, has disappeared entirely now. I’ve made vague promises of catch-up posts, but now it is very clear to me. I don’t want to do that at all.

Woo! Three cheers for ten times easier full arc posts! Now I can do fun little titles and I’ve cut my work by…well more than half. Doing it this way also makes it a lot easier to enjoy Skip Beat! since I don’t really have to worry about trying to say something about a scene I experienced like…four years ago or something.

Yup. This way is much better (for now).

Lately I’ve hit a problem that seems both blasphemous and logical at the same time. I’m getting bored with adaptations of series that I love and really looked forward to.

Yes! We’ve finally reached the end of the “Kyoko’s life is pathetic” section of this series. You know, where bad things just keep happening to her one after the other. Now she’s finally going to show us that real Kyoko power that so far has only been expressed in her frustration over not being able to do anything. Or, like in the last episode, when her power actually screws stuff up for her.

Now the power of revenge and Kyoko’s “guts!” (exclamation point is necessary) are her most useful tools. Bring it on!

Ren!!! More Ren screentime is always good. All the good characters are introduced now so Skip Beat! will only get better from here on out.

The best scene from this episode would be, of course, the Kyoko and Ren interaction. Hell yeah.

Finally! Before this summer if you were to ask me what manga I’d most want to be made into an anime, I’d probably give you Shinshi Doumei Cross and add with a sigh that I really want Skip Beat! too, but that it was surely impossible at that point.

It turns out it wasn’t. Because episode 01 of the Skip Beat! anime has aired. AWESOME!!!
