I've seen the anime and I adore it. The story is amazing and managed to actually move me to tears at a point. Sadly my ex-boyfriend took his set of the DVDs back when we broke up TT~TT I have not seen the live action though! Time to go look it up!
I agree with the fact that something about the character's past sounds interesting. I would love to see that...but I don't really care to see anything in the future.
The last anime I just finished watching was Hanamaru Kindergarten. I'll give it a 3/5 mostly because I am a sucker for cute things. The show is adorable and amusing. But not a huge hit for me.
The first I ever watched were Card Captor Sakura and Sailor Moon when I was young. Then the first manga I ever read was when my friend introduced me to Inuyasha in about the fourth or fifth grade. From then on I have become obsessed with both anime and manga <3
