So there's an animated version of Untamed, and I watched the first episode on my tablet last night. Would like to use my desktop but WinXP's browser doesn't play nicely with youtube, so zannen, tiny screen it is for me. Am still not feeling the Untamed love, nd it's also very dark/ difficult to follow, but the animation is pretty.

The day after acupuncture I'm always a kilo or half kilo lighter and happily shrunk in the knees and elbows. Would really like to keep this up the rest of the week, but mug is mug and doesn't work like that.

I took PT to the airport the other week and she was telling me about Untamed, or rather the text version, which she is very much enjoying. It surprised me because I didn't think the Chinese fiction would engage her, she's still mostly a gamer and Japanese comics fan. I think untamed, takes a bit of work to get into. Perhaps many episodes. I was up to episode 8 and could see the beginnings of the main relationship, but it wasn't there yet, not really. A number of people I've met love it for it's darkness. I've moved on to reading pointless martial arts fighting stories at this point with a goal of getting back to the text version of Untamed at some point. It's just ... I actually think her first book was better and Guardian was a better TV show, and overall I'm out of energy.

I never got into Guadian- just too many people and also pseudo-present day. But Untamed reallyis slow, not to mention the flashbacks in the live ation series.

The anime however is done brush- stroke style and eally is lovely.

I'll have to go check out the anime, I love brush-stroke style! I loved the intro song to Guardian and that's what drew me in, also pretty boy actor professor the undying one (as opposed to detective the time traveler).

I found the plot of Guardian even more headhurty than Untamed, if that's possible. But live ation raely works fo me anyway.
