Oh my. Sometimes having self control is so hard, you feel like you could burst anytime.Perhaps it's all my dad's fault for discouraging me to watch channel 8 drama serials. Shakespeare is not my kind of thing either, so I guess here is where I find someplace where I can have a story other than my own life's to follow and catch up on. This is where I find solace.I think I just got myself addicted to Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan.But I resolve not to fangirl. I'm not that crazy over it anyway. I just take it like another drama show, except this one is anime.I managed to complete my theory homework before I started watching. However I have no idea how I'm going to finish Julius Caesar with all that swordfighting in my head.So what's nice about anime? What's the appeal that I have found out so far? 1. Japanese are a creative lot, and their storylines are always suspenseful and fast paced. I'm not one who usually takes to fantasy and those historical stuff, but this one... I don't know, maybe seeing it in class every day just piqued my interest?2. Yes, Yvonne. There are cute girls. This one I'm watching doesn't have many cute girls, but I guess the main girl is cute enough, with the huge round eyes, anime's classic.3. And cool guys. They love to make guys have too long hair that hide their windows to their souls (i.e. their coloured eyes) and when the wind blows, their flowing tresses float about like seaweed in the sea. I just think there are too many cool guys in this show. COOL GUYS OVERLOAD. :X4. It's readily availble for watching on the internet, and people don't have to wait for ONE DAY EVERY WEEK to get their fix of anime episodes. Actually I think this is a bad thing for a rather conscientious person like me, cos I start feeling guilty if I watch a few episodes in one go, and neglect my work. Fortunately I haven't (and I pray I won't) come to the state where I watch till late at night before starting on my homework. But channel 8 dramas are better for my school life because you can control how much you watch - limited to one episode per weekday. Plus when the exam period nears, I can just finish that drama and not watch the next one, so I can concentrate, instead of being tempted to go online and watch the next 10 episodes.If I ever become a hardcore anime addict, it's going to be my dad's fault....Nah, I'm just putting my own future at risk.SELF-CONTROL.
