It has been a month and 2 days since I last posted a blog, and even that wasn't a real blog. Life has been a roller coaster lately. I can't put my finger on anything specific, but I feel so drained.

I apologize for not being around for more than a month to comment on your blogs.

Obsession of the Week: Kodocha

I saw a few episodes of this anime series on Funimation and decided to check it out online to fill in the parts I had missed. Then the few episodes turned into 20, and then 30, and now I'm on episode 41. It's not the best anime out there, but it is entertaining. The characters I like most are:

• Mama - I love her attitude on parenting. I see myself a lot like her as a parent. I like to encourage my kids to experiment and discover things on their own. I can also identify with the way she enthusiastically procrastinates on work. I don't have a squirrel living on my head though.
• Akito Hayama - He's such a bad ass and know-it-all. When Akito sees something stupid happening, he flat out says "that's stupid". I love that in a character!
• Sana - Definately third on the list because she can be annoying and dense, but her energy is amazing. When she sees a problem, she faces it straight on no matter how complicated or uncomfortable.
  

Things I don't like about Kodocha:

• I wish the characters were a little older. Maybe 14/15 instead of 11/12. It made sense for the whole fallout with Rei to happen at that age, but it seems the series could have skipped over a few years rather quickly and plopped them all in late middle school before going into the whole gf/bf thing. I guess they make their maturity case for Akito because of his mother dying and his family treating him harshly for so long. As well as Sana having a tough job and being treated very grown up by her Mama. Still, the characters act more like college students than grade school students.
• The stupid rabbit thing is so annoying, and I also don't like the host of the tv show. He seems like a total pedophile.
• No dubs! :cry: The first few are dubbed and then it seems to stop. Even the subtitles were horrible once I got to episode 40. If anyone knows a solution to this, please, please let me know.

lalala...
What is going on with Avatar? Are they ever gonna show the last few episodes? Isn't the last Season 3 DVD slated to come out soon? I haven't been keeping up with the Avatar news. Could somebody fill me in, please?

Take care!
