Hotaru no Hikari

Time passes quickly with Hotaru, that is, except for a few moments when you really aren't ashamed to fast-forward a bit. Before you know it, suddenly an episode ends and you're eager to keep watching, yet it's not a show where you're on the edge of your seat and you have to watch the next episode at all costs or you'll burst with curiosity, which is also a plus in its own way. Hotaru is really annoying at times, not only to her manager, but to me as well. There were indeed times when I couldn't stand her, but there were also times when I wasn’t not surprised that someone had fallen in love with her... The music probably won't stay in your head, but the good feeling from some moments certainly will. It's not hard to chuckle at the conversations between Hotaru and the manager, and in the end [A BIT OF A SPOILER] I was really relieved when he broke up with her. [END SPOILER-CHAN] It may seem clear from the beginning how it's going to end, but trust me, along the way there's still that little worm gnawing there that it'll turn out different – during the 1st two and the last two episodes it's clear how it's going to end, but the six in between... I guess there's no harm in watching it. (05/03/2010)
