English For 2 hours and 11 minutes I've been waiting for something to happen, something to "get me out of my chair". Finally, I was lifted out of my chair by boredom, several times. I had to pause the movie, walk around the apartment, chat with my family, surf the web, just to be able to finish it. To finish it with the hope that something would come along and it would be worth it. Oh, how naive of me! It was all so tedious, even the landscape shots didn't warm my heart. Nothing impressed me. Just a slow death into the forgotten. And then, after all that long and slow suffering, where nothing made sense and everything was so flaccid and random, came the end, which put the victim perfectly and painfully out of its misery. The series, watch the series! Read the manga! This? Burn it. ()
