Three months after this series finished, and I've finally finished the review for it. Finally.I had such a hard time writing this. It's hard to find a reasonable voice when all you can remember is everything that sucked. It isn't an objectivity issue since you obviously can't be objective writing something that's completely opinion, but it's still hard to fashion your opinion in a way that doesn't make you seem like some fanraging idiot. After all, reviews are also supposed to be subtly persuasive, and it's hard to be persuasive if you sound offended or butthurt about how terrible something is. It's the same reason people tend to take the opinions of fanboys with a grain of salt. Don't be overzealous. Write intelligently. Well, I tried.Honestly, when this series first ended, I wanted to write a long, raging rant about how much I hated the ending and how terribly disappointing the entire thing was on a variety of different levels. But then I put it off and eventually didn't feel like it anymore. I got the urge again as I was writing the review, and subsequently, the review spiraled into a bunch of sarcastic remarks. Some of them got edited out. Some of them didn't. I guess I shouldn't worry too much about it.I do this for fun! This is fun, see? Fun!
