sherryillkIs it possible to be naturally biased against an anime that you haven't seen before?
Like I do with most new releases, I like to look their stories up and see if it would be something that I would like. Today, Ayu released Saiunkoku Monogatari and now I've just finished downloading it. I open it up and what do I hear?
That cursed theme song! Ugh, just listening to it makes my skin crawl. I don't want to watch it! I don't!
The thing is that my roommate got into this show via the Chinese subs (being from China, of course she likes them more, and they're usually faster in putting out subs of animes too) and she's been singing that damned song over and over and over again.
And I've written about how she sucks at singing before so it was really annoying the hell out of me. It grated on my nerves so much... I mean it's a bit of a high song so she tried to match the high notes and it was just so hard. I wanted to throw a pillow at her every time she sang it and say "Give it up already, you can't sing so please don't torture those around you who have to listen to it!" And she sang it a lot over the last few weeks. I didn't realize it that it was this show that she had gotten into but now that I recognize the song, I don't want anything to do with it...
But I took the time to download it! *makes a face*
I'm going to pass I think. I just can't do it if it fills me with disgust just listening to it. And looking at it... Even the graphics are starting to get to me because I recognized it as what she was watching...
The sad thing is that I probably would have liked it if it wasn't associated with such a bad memory...
