Another Addiction: Lovely Complex

The thing is, I've found out, that people who are addicted to things are very likely to become addicted to more things. Perhaps it's written in their genetic code. And in no way, shape or form am I an exception to this rule.

You see, I thrive on having a bunch of obsessions to entertain myself with.

And my newest and biggest one in a long while is the Anime/Movie/Manga, "Lovely Complex". I came upon the movie about a week ago while randomly searching things on Youtube and I don't know how I ever existed without it. Since then I've watched the movie about four times and each of the 10 episodes subbed by Kiss-sub (My hero of the now) twice.

The basic point of the story is that Risa is a tall girl and can she and Otani, who is short for a guy, be more than a comedy duo and fall in love. And if Otani wasn't so dense and started realizing that bubbles weren't appearing around Risa's face and rainbows popping up behind his head for nothing, than this would no doubt be happening. But that doesn't even hint at the amazingness that is Lovely Complex, and it's pure Golden. So I don't care what kind of reservations you have, give it a try it's amazing.

But I must admit that while both are utterly(udderly hehe) fantastic, you must take the movie and anime as completely different things. With the exception of a few minor characters and Otani (sometimes, sort of) none of the characters act like the same people.

Basically this is a story of a pickled radish turning into a crab. (Nope, can't explain. You'll just have to watch it I guess. :D )

Though I have never been super-addicted to anime or manga, with the exception of DBZ in 5th grade. I have been scarily entrenched in certain computer games. *cough* Lode Runner *cough* Asheron's Call *cough* - J

Hey this is Lydia. Yeah Lovely Complex is basically amazing. The teacher with the wig kinda freaked me out though. And Otani is pretty hot.

Lovely Complex is like awesome. I'm sooo addicted. I almost cried when Otani didn't believe Risa when she said that she loved him.
