Found this super old note I wrote down many moons ago and honestly cannot remember if I've already posted it elsewhere as a comment. Just so I have some sort of a backup (paper is flying everywhere at my place at the moment), I'm typing this in.

( Musing about Vanilla. Makes no sense to anyone not familiar with Sugar Sugar Rune. Spoilers up to around episodes 38-39. )

I was reading episode 48 summary at sugarsugarrune and this somewhat relevant topic came up in some of the replies, but I don't want to spam that entry with my rambling, so here's my thought on filler episodes.

I believe Sugar Sugar Rune (anime version anyway, manga is probably different) or mahou shoujo series in general is made for really young girls, so fillers are necessary. The little kids wouldn't be too interested in long, story-based arcs (well, the arc that just ended was as long as it was going to get and even this arc had some breaks within it). For me, I have mixed feelings about the use of fillers in this show, since it does get repetitive and annoying (you hear that, Waffle?) after a while watching filler episodes one after another. Probably because I'm not really their intended audience but then I don't usually have a problem with fillers in some other magical girl series. Weird.

I can't keep a journal. I tried it once years ago, but the most I could write was about three weeks worth of entries (one for each day) and each entry became regressively shorter and shorter (the last one consisted of two or three sentences maybe). So I won't promise regular updates here.

That said, this journal exists because of my current obsessions. (Someday down the road I might shake my head and wonder how I could ever become interested in these "obsessions" in the first place, but I wouldn't worry about that now.)

( Click only if interested in my ramblings about the events leading up to my current obsessions. Series mentioned: Kamen Rider Agito, Kamen Rider 555, Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Nexus, Ultraman Max, Sekai Ninja Jiraiya, Garo, Prince of Tennis Musicals, School Rumble, Sugar Sugar Rune and a few I'd probably forgotten. There are no real spoilers, although I seem to go on and on about Sugar Sugar Rune (but only because I'm currently watching it). )

Well, thank you if you read my ramblings. I have something else I'm interested in too but they are not really related to this chain of events, so I'm leaving them for later (maybe ::laugh::)
