You know that squee for Doctor Who which I mentioned that I had just gotten back again?

Well, it's gone again.

Nice job, RTD. _{*goes back to pondering the surrealness of having more enthusiasm for Torchwood than Doctor Who*}

I think I'm going to go become an anime fangirl.

My enthusiasm for it seems to wax and wane. I'm at a low point right now, and am currently hoping that the Christmas episode (and trailer following) manage to get me a bit cheerier about things. I'm certainly considering drawing back from fandom a bit.

Ta for that!

I've seen a bit of Zim, not much, but found it rather amusing, and Avatar really looks like fun, which I could use in a fandom right now. (Seriously, I love Death Note, but it isn't exactly fun per se. I'll hold off watching more of it until I'm in the mood for that sort of thing)

Avatar IS fun and it has *much* action-adventuring going on. The story is also surprisingly epic considering it's A) American animation and B) on Nickelodeon. There's not many other animated shows I can compare it too, but I've tried (of anime, Record of Lodoss War and The Twelve Kingdoms are comparable, but they're still not totally apropos. Both those series are darker and for an older crowd). You can also tell the people who made it got big inspiration from Miyazaki. I could imagine if he happened to be American and did a series, it would probably be something very much like Avatar.

As someone who has this terrible fondness for kid's stuff, I do like the sound of that. And yeah, I could so use something that is good and fun and action-adventury right about now. Even if it is American.
