Tales of a Brown-Haired Freak

Today I'm a bit melancholy, but not from anything serious. It's actually because of manga, of all the silly things. During the spring, I spent a good deal of my (limited) spare time watching Rurouni Kenshin online. I made it through the first 2 story arcs, then stopped watching on the recommendation of a whole lot of people who had suffered through the filler season. It's a really good story, and I very much recommend it to anyone who is into this style of anime. The problem, though, was that stopping in the middle of the story left everything hanging, and I had to lose the characters without having any sort of closure.

Then I found the manga online, and got to read the original story all the way through to the end - I finished yesterday. It was as good, if not better, than the anime, and it had a happy ending, but not too happy. But now it's over, and there isn't any more for me to read or watch except terrible filler episodes. I got my closure, but I want more, dammit, and there isn't any. I could go back and watch it all over again, but it's not the same.

That's why I'm sad today. I told you it was silly.
