Netflix! You have betrayed me!

osprey_archerRozen Maiden is, basically, about living dolls who were created by the doll maker Rozen for the purpose of fighting each other to the death until only one remains. The remaining doll will become Alice, who is the personification of the perfect girl. Why Rozen created the dolls with such a psychopathic scheme in mind, and why he felt that the best way to find the perfect girl was by gladiatorial death match, is never quite explained (I have Theories which may reach fruition later), but it's a charming and lovely show regardless.
So I find it exasperating that Netflix lacks the second half of the second season, Rozen Maiden Traumend. Admittedly, this is for the very good reason that the makers of Rozen Maiden, for reasons best known to themselves, only released the first half of Traumend in English. So it's not like Netflix is just being persnickety.
But the same explanation doesn't hold true for the first season of Farscape, which Netflix also lacks.
This is EXASPERATING. Everyone and everything seems to be agreed that, one, Farscape is the best show ever in the history of the universe, and, two, you really have to watch it from the beginning or else you'll have absolutely no idea what's going on, and then your head will explode. Which means I'm going to have to hunt down season one, which will cause pain and suffering and a lot of work and is the sort of thing I got Netflix to avoid.
But without Netflix I never would have seen the first season of Rozen Maiden, so I am trying to feel forgiving.

Date: 2008-08-05 04:47 am (UTC)This isn't an insurmountable problem--my brother and I watched first season Veronica Mars on his computer in Florida in July in a room with an air conditioner that completely drowned out the sound, so we had to turn it off in order to hear anything, which was an experience--if the show is good enough I can deal with watching it on the computer.
It just irritates me that Netflix is NOT BEING GODLIKE. Because, meh.
