Okay, I love the Deltora Quest series, by Emily Rodda. It is one of my happy childhood loves, so when I discovered an anime of it, it was with trepidation that I watched the first episode. And there are two things I have to say about the anime version. One, for an anime, it seems to be pretty good at following the correct original plot, and two, Lief is blonde!!! How, in any possibility, could Lief be blonde?!?! It struck me as completely wrong the moment I saw it. Especially since everyone else has dark hair (excepting his father, who also shouldn't be blonde) and he's supposed to be 'average', so that it's logical for him to think that he's just a peasant like everyone else. Much annoyance.

Also, I recently managed to procure a copy of Serenity (Joss Whedon) and I'd like to say that it is AWESOME!!! Serenity is quick, funny, with great characters and a thrilling storyline, but it does have one rather strange con. The story is filled with the feeling of a conclusion. Throughout Serenity, the movie feels constantly as if its about to end... Completely insane.

That's it.
