MEH is what I say!

I saw LOTT, hated it, then watched SIGN after a impulse buy, highly enjoyed it, then watched LOTT again, and enjoyed it more than I previously had. SIGN is by far better, even though I have only seen the first 5 episodes of it, and I'm disappointed to see that there is no page for it on IMDb, or maybe I haven't looked hard enough yet... Anyway, the thing I hate above all else on LOTT is the voice of Shugo. I cannot stand that voice after a while; it just infuriates me! Anyway, watch it, but don't expect perfection of it, unless you're a die-hard fan.
