This episode was a departure from the manga's plotline. Which means the series no longer serves any purpose. I don't watch filler for any series. This is different from being dropped, in that I did in fact watch every episode of the real series there was. The same happened to Rurouni Kenshin when it veered off into filler after the Kyoto arc. Just because I didn't watch that stuff doesn't mean I didn't watch Rurouni Kenshin.
Nevertheless, it does reduce the winter lineup down to 20 shows. Still plenty, but it's a shame, this was one of the better ones.
New episodes of One Pace have been released, including Water 7 and Arabasta, which lowered my total episode count even further by crunching two One Piece episodes into one One Pace episode each time. Now I'm 24 episodes away from 'over 9,000.' Arghh!
I'm slowly working on my professions and leveling my 23 World of Warcraft characters. The next Darkmoon Faire is soon and it will be a godsend. Every character is Shadowlands attuned -- they've gone through the Maw, can portal to Oribos, and have covenant abilities. Even that took forever. I guess I don't mind so long as it's fun. My biggest gripe is that most of my characters are missing one item of gear or another that they really should have by now, making them feel incomplete and incompetent. If I could just patch those holes they would be so pretty.
Only five chapters to go of Silver Ruins, Black Moon. The story has improved a bit because the black Kirin decided to actually do something instead of just gripe about how awful things are. But even that didn't work (at least so far) so we're back to square one again. I'll be happy to put this book behind me once I summon the resolve to actually read through the swill that is the remainder.
