Shikabane Hime Withdrawal

I can't speak Japanese. Well, not unless you count names of food and a few other scattered words...

Why then do I have the urge to hop aboard a plane bound for Japan just so that I can watch the second season of Shikabane Hime? It would be in Japanese, of course. Did I mention that I don't speak Japanese?

I have the theme song for the series stuck in my head (in Japanese, mind you), and I have the urge to watch the first season again. Never mind the fact that I actually have useful and productive things that I should be doing.

I must resist the temptation to hop on over to Hulu to watch the series again. There are too many other things that need to be done.

Oh, but it is so tempting...

Yeah, I know how you feel!! I have been watching anime for so long and currently watching (Prince of Tennis Nationals, Skip Beat, and some other animes) and they don't have the next episodes of these anime anywhere. The ones they have are either raw or in another language but not in English....I keep on telling my sis I want to go to Japan and watch these series...the problem I DON'T SPEAK JAPANESE!!! I know some words that I learned from watching anime, but thats about it. ^_^

Sassy Cat, it's not very helpful when I have other things I should be doing. Gather is distracting enough. :-)

Destiny, I don't watch much anime, but there are a few series that I've really liked. For some reason, I just really love this particular one.

I have started "Moon Phase," but it just hasn't pulled me in the was "Shikabane Hime" has... maybe due to the fact that it just seems a lot lighter in nature than "Shikabane Hime."

We enjoy Japanese television shows too, even though we don't really understand the words much.

I know Crunchyroll.com has a lot of anime series that haven't made their way outside of Japan with english subs. Just register there and you're free to watch. I really want to go to Japan though
