Nobody dies in a CLAMP anime! Oh wait...
First you cut crossovers and crossovers with no other than Clow Reed, goddammit. Then you fast-forward some plots, the cute mascot and the love interests. I can accept that, P.I.G., really. I do have a huge problem with that and it pains me like you have no idea, but I'm not one to wank because the meeeenies at the animation studio aren't sticking with the canon order and the things I like and turning my ship into a nonsensical crack pairing in all animeverses, but I digress.
But when you decide to take a meaningful DEATH of a minor character in a DARK CLAMP SERIES, you're KILLING the essence of it! I don't know if you actually read the same manga I did, but this isn't a fluffy story with random creepy monsters and cute youkai. It's rather sad when Watanuki angsts more over on your filler than in a canon subplot. Witnessing the death of the liar put Watanuki into perspective; not only about Yuuko, but about how karma works. He's NOT learning things in the same pace he should be. And we'll get to a point in which his character development will look like it came from nowhere. You have no reason to censor stuff if it's on 1:00 am and you don't even get to see that death.
And the whole point... sure, the woman survives, but she'll start lying again (she already did it again.) The black smoke will come back, so unless she stays home or in the hospital all of her life, she IS going to die afterwards by paralysis. She never knew anything, so she learned nothing, so it's all pointless! Plothole!
To sum things up, and copy-pasting something I said at Yuuto's journal:
Animation getting slightly worse? Check.
Pivotal changes made for the sake of cute/easy? Check.
Fillings for the sake of angst? Check.
Censuring deaths? Check.
Rushing plots over because they're cooler? Check.
Now tell me, P.I.G.: why should I believe you're doing a better work than Bee Train?
Oh, and I really liked TRC 112. Kurogane, you didn't let me down!
And I actually wanted to cry at HOLiC 104, because... OMG IT'S THE REAL LARG, FROWNING AND BEING SMART AND SERIOUS! NOW YOU ARE THE ACTUAL MOKONA MODOKI, NOT THAT BACON-RAPING DOPPELGANGER. BABY, HOW I MISSED YOU! <3 [forgets about the DouWa and fangirls foreshadowing Yuuko and serious Mokona]
Forgive my capslock.
ETA: And speaking of capslock, I finally watched Goblet of Fire because the family rented it. God, I hate Emmaione. I actually laughed at Snape's bitchslaps, for some reason. And Neville's geekiness won me over so much!
It was something like
Neville: There's a plant in the Mediterranean blah blah blah...
Harry: Mate, I don't give a damn about your plants ¬_¬ Unless there's a Tibetan radish that'll help me breathe underwater.
Neville: ...not really. But there's gillyweed! :3
See, this IS a good, IC filler XDDDD

Download and watch Ouran #2 if you haven't already. It'll cheer you up a little bit :D ... ALTHOUGH WATCH BONES SKIP THE NEXT MANGA CHAPTER LIKE WOAH ACCORDING TO THE PREVIEW!!!1
they could do it later, yes, but I'm not really very trusting towards themD=no subject
I'll have to wait for the whole season/thing to be over before saying they're better than BT. Stupid movie and first episode, they deceived us!

They did what? O_O My hopes in this series are getting lower by the second. What will they do about the monkey's paw saga, then? That one was *two* deaths...
