A few years ago I made a mental list of anime from my childhood that I either remember nothing about (apart from the fact that I liked them a lot), or that for some reason I was never able to watch in their entirety.
Up until now, I managed to complete ten of them. And without doubt, my absolute favourites from the bunch have been Ace wo nerae! and Kaitou Saint Tail.
Opposite genres for two equally enthralling stories.
Tokyo Mew Mew New managed to fix almost everything I loathed about the original series, adding depth to the characters and structure to the story. Too bad they had to sacrifice the one thing I truly loved in order to do that.
Still, a great dose of endorphins for lovers of majokko.
Worthy of a future rewatch.
First, I wanted to be sure they were getting the whole thing adapted. After that, I waited for them to complete it because I don't deal well with waiting. Then it ended and they announced the spin-off movie, so I told myself that I might as well wait for that to be released too. And lastly, I wanted for it to be special, because Fruits Basket is possibly my favourite manga of all time and I wanted, no, I needed to watch the anime at the exact right moment.
Which seems to be Christmas season, 2023.
I'm only three episodes in and love everything already.
