reasons why the ending of Witch Hunter Robin was infuriating

September 17th, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized

i wrote this in families class because i was horribly bored and it was really bothering me. this has spoilers in it (it’s all about the ending) so if you intend on watching it, don’t read this. for the rest of you, enjoy.

- it was a climax to something that only mattered if it was continued in a second season

- there was no confirmation of Amon & Robin’s escape. not a damn thing. no silhoeutte scene, glimpse of a coat or anything.

- the last scene of a new hunter was confusing and misleading. misleading in that we believe that there will be another season.

- it was rushed and still didn’t really explain anything

- no confirmation of the feelings felt by Amon for Robin

- what is Robin supposed to be? if witches couldn’t pass on their genetic makeup, why did they have a list of witches and their kin?

- again: lack of knowledge of Amon and Robin

given these, it’s still safe to assume that they are alive according to Nagira’s comments, and the fact that they’re missing together. the fact that they’re missing together also somewhat proves their love or at least the beginnings of it. WHR could easily be made into a second season. there are endless possibilities and storylines. however, it seems doubtful that anything will be done as it has now been two and a half years since it first aired. there’s still hope that if american audiences really enjoy it, it may be done, but it’s not likely. now that i think more about the ending and the entire season i realize that the writers actually gave the audience credit in being able to figure things out. they didn’t spell everything out for everyone. they gave enough clues for people to figure things out, but i still like having it spelled out for me. i think the embrace when Robin left was the main indicator that Amon loves Robin in the romantic way. plus the whole not catching/killing her deal. and breaking up with toukou. so now that i analyze it, it’s pretty obvious what his feelings are/were. good. i’m glad i did this.

there. that’s the whole thing that i wrote verbatim. when i first saw the ending i was so mad. i was like ‘WHAT? that can’t be it! come on, there’s gotta be more. give me something!’ but that was it. the end. after i wrote that little piece, i saw that there was more to the ending after all. i had to piece it together from the other episodes. i really like that series despite the lack of an obvious relationship between the two main characters. i really like the opening theme song. actually, i really like all of the music in this series. too bad i can’t find the soundtrack. i think i might just buy the uber gift pack for $150. yea, it seems worth it. anyway, i’m going to go do stuff.

crazy show

September 15th, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized

this show is about catching witches that do harm to normal people. yet everything that happens is impossible and shocking. they find this one witch that can implement fear into people’s minds. comments from the characters: ‘is that possible?’ ‘no, he can’t do that. it’s impossible.’ ‘i didn’t think that kind of thing could be done.’ don’t get me wrong, i love the show, but it’s about finding witches and they find this one thing unbelievable. that’s just one thing i’m using as an example, but they do it with other stuff too. they even have someone on their team that can ‘read minds’ sort of, but they find it so amazing that the one guy can make people feel scared. stop being so amazed by everything. you’re hunting witches for crying out loud! but besides that i really like it.

i saw the rx-8 in red today. that is the sexiest things on wheels ever. just seeing it made me want to have sex. well, not really, but it made me think about sex at least. i thought i loved it in silver, but my heart skipped about three beats when i saw it in red. it’s the most drool-tastic car on the road. that’s what i think. i’ll post a picture of it. hell, maybe i’ll even post 2.

canada won the world cup. hooray! pretty good game from what i saw too. i only caught half of it though. still pretty good. can you believe that platinum seats were going for $1500 for that game? that’s just crazy.

anyway, it’s late so i guess i’ll be going to bed. i probably won’t, but at least i’m thinking about it.

i want to write something but i don’t know what. i have a lot of cobwebs in my room. considering there was a spider on my keyboard, this is not really a surprise. i think i might actually sleep well tonight. this is due to simple exhaustion as i didn’t sleep very well last night. i used to love sleeping alone. now i can’t stand it. my dog is no substitute either. she just makes it impossible to sleep comfortably. i’ll let her sleep on my bed anyway. there’s that spider again, running across the top of my keyboard. i don’t know what kind of bugs these spiders are living off of. i figure they must be doing a really good job. i miss a lot of people. mel, kathy, bushra, iljya, trisha, tal, just to name a few. there are a few friendly faces left, but nothing special. i miss playing the russian game. those were some good times.

this weekend’s shaping up pretty nicely. got some old timey fun planned. wow, it’s 1 am. i should really go to bed. so i will. goodnight.

what is wrong with me?

September 13th, 2004 | Category: Uncategorized

i’ve been reading a lot of history lately, and a year ago i was so much more secure in everything. now i’m so scared that everything’s going to fall apart. to be honest, the first week of school last year was hell. i didn’t see jeff because of frosh and that nearly killed me. but still, i don’t remember it feeling like this. maybe it’s just because there’s so much more of me in this relationship now. i’ve lost friends and almost all sense of normalcy. i’m just going to take it as a transitional thing and wait for everything to go back. why do i feel this way? shit! it’s like i need so much more reassurance that everything’s okay. i know it in my head, but i don’t feel it. okay, i feel a little bit better now. wow, i really don’t like being without him. it was never this ‘bad’ before. god, i’ve become so needy. i don’t know what to do. do i show that if i want more? or no? do i just say it? do i do nothing and just drive myself crazy? can someone tell me? jeff, is it just me? am i just crazy? believe it or not, you have to reassure me again. this is so frustrating i know. ok, ok, i’m just nuts. i know that now. i’m going to go to bed and sleep this whole crazy deal off.

p.s. i’d still like answers if anyone has any. the whole lack of i love you sent me on this. i tried to talk myself out of it before it got to this point, but i couldn’t handle it. i think i’m okay now. ok, sleep.
