I've tried to watch the anime and to read the manga half a dozen times. Just hated it: ugly art; unsympathetic, manic characters; cold, alienating interactions. I was unable to empathize or identify with anyone. The ONLY reason I might force myself to try again would be in order to understand Maldoror's fics, since OP seems to be all she's writing these days. I miss her GW and ANBU action... *whines* ...So help me, please. If I do try again, which episodes or chapters should I choose, since the early ones turned me off so strongly? And where can I dl the manga? TIA.
