SHERLOCK; My Recent Addiction "It's more expensive to be addicted to anime than crack"; nothing I can say to prove or make this statement faulty because I've never been into crack. Only one thing I can affirm is that, it's really expensive to have anime as a hobby. May it be DVDs, action figures, posters, collectible items; it really makes my wallet suffer. I'm so into these things that I never thought that I would watch an english series ever. I watched gossip girl and House MD, but I was never hooked. I only watched them when I exhausted all the anime that I could watch. I didn't think I have the need to watch them right away. Then came SHERLOCK. It started when, of course, I don't have any anime left to watch (at Kissanime btw) and I asked my friend (Angela) if she has anything good in her laptop.. I told her if we could exchange some external drive and put everything she has and she told me about SHERLOCK and how brilliant the story is and I was like, okay I'll try to watch it unmotivated. It took me a week to remember that I had files in the external drive, that's how uninterested I am to english series.. seriously :) I just finished watching Akagami no Shirayuki Hime and I decided to take a peek at the first episode of SHERLOCK because I have nothing to else to do that day. IT WAS A BOMB! First of all, I was really clueless about the story. I mean, SHERLOCK generally is a detective so that was it. A detective. I didn't know he was that awesome. Secondly, I didn't know that the characters in this series were played by the same characters from "THE HOBBIT"; I AM A BIG FAN (Bilbo Baggins and Smaug's voice! How lucky can I get). Thirdly, I always find the british accent SEXY. That was a very big factor haha! Sexy & intelligent man with a wonderful voice with a great sense of humor accompanied by his funny side kick incorporated with bloody twists and unexpected turn of events; I WAS ON HIGH! It was the kind of story that I was craving for. It was not draggy like other suspense thriller series and every episode is nerve wracking, in a good way :) I'm really looking forward to the 4th season.. I love Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman... Two Thumbs up for this spectacular series!
