Apr. 7th, 2014 07:34 amMy ringette team made the finals in the playoffs, which were last night. It was a crazy late game and just a crazy game at times. But we won, 4-1! Nice to end my final year as an official member of the team on a high note :)
Only downside was that the game was in Orleans, at 10PM, so I got home late and wasted. And then watched an episode of my new favourite show, the live-action adaptation of Itazura na Kiss.
It's SO GOOD. Maybe even a touch better than the manga so far, because I think it is making small adjustments that manage to put a bit more logic into the situation, even though the basic premise is still pretty crazy. Plus, the actor playing Kotoko is absolutely perfection, she nails the serious moments and comedic moments equally well. And she's adorable - plus, with live action I always find that it makes a character seem more "real" than when they are a drawing and that's definitely going on for the whole cast, who seem to be toned down a little in order to make them seem like real people. Plus, it's set in modern day, so there are a few changes for that.
Anyway, it is good enough that I am very pleased with my decision to upgrade my Crunchyroll membership to All-Access, rather than Anime-Only. Maybe at some point I'll even check out the manga offerings and see if reading digital manga bothers me less now.
