Peach Girl Anime is Highly Addictive
One of the great things about anime streaming becoming more popular with the companies is that you can stumble across anime that you never would have given even the slightest chance before. I had an experience like that this weekend.
I was looking around Hulu’s quickly expanding anime section with the intent of watching some anime I hadn’t seen before. I decided to start with Peach Girl: Super Pop Love Hurricane. I’d head a little bit about it, and even read a tiny bit of the manga I believe, but I’ve never seen the anime. I thought I’d watch a couple of episodes to give it a fair chance.
Six hours later I finished watching the last of the 12 episodes Hulu had.
I’m not even sure what kept me watching. It’s an ok anime. Lot’s of shojo drama with boys chasing girls, girls liking other boys and girls stabbing each other in the back over boys. It’s almost like a soap opera, and once those things get you hooked it’s very hard to get loose. (Luckily for me they recast Todd Manning on One life to Live, and I was able to finally break away.)
Early on I just wanted to watch it long enough to see the bad girl get what she deserved. Hopefully in a very violent, very public way. When that did happen, not as violently as I hoped, I kept watching anyway. I had to find out what was going to happen next. I was well and truly hooked.
Now for the excruciating wait for more episodes to be uploaded.

My sister likes this manga a lot, but I think it’s okay. =)
