It’s not that I believe they cannot be good. Watching real people is a different type of viewing experience whether the adaptation is done well or not. > I suppose this is the time to once again explain that I didn’t even know that H&C was aimed at women until quite late in the game I'm sometimes surprised about these things as well. However, I think that the demographic categorization are only used to shelve the books/disc more than anything else.

I’m sometimes surprised about these things as well. However, I think that the demographic categorization are only used to shelve the books/disc more than anything else.

That sounds too old!</blockquote> That's right, a 10 year-old would be more appropriate. Part of what endeared me to H&C was the symbolism littered around (Ferris wheel, four-leaf clover, duck, poodle etc), so I wonder if it'll carry over to the drama or feature that prominently. It's about time, though, so I hope there's going to be subs of this or something.
