Wow, I can't believe I finally reached the end. I definitely had my ups and downs with this series, and while I don't love it, it does hold a special place in my heart, filled with fond memories of when I first watched the anime all those years ago. I think a major reason that I didn't fall head over heels this time around, was because of how much I've grown and evolved; my tastes aren't what they were when I was 14, and that's okay. I'm still happy that I finally got around to reading this, even if it didn't live up to my expectations.
