You know how a rubber band snaps when you pull it too much? Now take that snapping sensation/sound and apply it to my knee (front to back). This only started happening recently so I'm not used to it yet, making the reaction more dramatic than the actual occurrence. Usually the pain is over within a minute but yesterdays snap is turning out to be different.

During the night I had trouble getting comfortable in bed because each time I turned, or tried to reposition my leg, the pain would flare up pretty bad. Since it feels like the leg can't support itself too well I've not put much weight on it today while hobbling to and fro. Sitting at the computer is an exercise in finding the right angle for the knee in order to prevent it from aching :-/

(Wrapping some bandage around the knee didn't help at all unfortunately and I don't plan on sleeping with one on. Not in the mood to wake up in the middle of the night with a bad cramp to boot ._.")

Now that I've squeezed some of that out of my system, time to see how much focus is left to put on the anime watching.

Kokoro Library - An almost sickly sweet anime about 3 sisters who work in the library their parents built. The youngest sister is not officially a librarian yet and the show follows her working towards getting a license, with a bit of 'whatever happens in her life on the way' thrown in. It's slow paced without dragging its feet.

I downloaded this one for chilling out purposes and the idea of a little girl aiming to be a librarian just seemed interesting enough. The eldest sister needs a good slap across the face, though ¬¬

To heart + To heart ~ Remember my memories ~ - Romantic anime + its sequel. The first one is the reason for why my romantic whale made such a splash a couple of posts back ^^; Another show with slow pacing but, again, it didn't annoy me.
The leading male is adorable. Second season wasn't as easy to get through/stalled in places compared to the first.

Because my romantic spazz woke up the show made me go "Futon~" <- like how you'd say 'chocolate' or something that makes you dreamy-eyed. Nevrmindmekplzbai.

Kanon - The original/First version. I tried going into it with an open mind but didn't quite make it >.> Not to say the show sucked (apart from the ending with Nayuki). Overall it just didn't work better than the re-make ~for me~. I can say that with confidence, too, after immediately following it up with the '06 version to make sure.

How they tied things up in '06 appealed to me more, both story wise and with the pacing, but I will say that the character rendition stood on equal footing in both (.... Except in Nayuki's case >.>)

The Glass Mask - lols. Downloaded this due to the description of it which went along the lines of 'young woman aspiring to be an actress and her journey towards that goal under the wing of a famous actress whose face was deformed after a stage accident'. The first episode, and subsequently the entire series, had me going ".... this is like 'Kaleido Star' with 'Sandy Bell' visuals....".

It's nothing special or spectacular but for some reason I felt a need to see more when the end credits would start to roll after every episode, haha. What caught me the most was how the main character (Maya) was drawing me in while I simply couldn't persuade myself to like her O.o So. Her acting process, I liked. But Maya as a character turned me off completely.... If that makes any sense xD
