pacificpikachuThis likely won't matter to anyone on here, but I just have to write about my own little personal glee for the day. :D
There was a show I was really, really into when I was about twelve called Mysterious Ways. It started out on NBC for its first season, and then its second season was on PAX, and I just loved this series so much. I must admit, even when live action shows are great I'm a little more reserved toward them than I am anime generally, but for this series I actually got a little into the small fandom that existed for the series, participating occasionally on a message board and whatnot.
It was canceled after its second season, and I signed so many petitions and wrote so many long-winded e-mails to the different TV stations and whatnot in hopes that they might change their mind. Of course it remained canceled, but what made me even more mad was that there was no way to get to the episodes. They never released them on DVD or any other format, and although I have crummy VHS copies of about half of the series I taped off the TV, I did painstaking searches of the entire internet in hopes that someone had the episodes better quality and not spread all randomly across tapes where I have to fast forward through all kinds of crud to get to the episodes.
Nothing, nothing, nothing. One episode showed up on Veoh, but it was one of my least favorite episodes.
But now finally, there are torrents available for the whole series! Yayyy!
I haven't seen the series since I introduced it to Nicole in 2003 or something, so I don't know if I'll still love it as much as I used to (I have trouble believing I wouldn't, though, even if it is a little cheesy or not as amazing as I remember it being), but man... I love the characters so muchI think Declan was my first slight crush on anyone outside the realm of animated characters and it's just one of those series you get really attached to, in my opinion. I'm really excited to see it again. ♥ Turns out there were quite a few other people on the hunt for it as well, which doesn't surprise me.
Anyway, that just made me happy. I hope the torrents download fairly fast and don't have any errors or anything. If the series is really as good as I remember it being, maybe I'll rec it to you guys. :D

Date: 2008-11-29 07:40 am (UTC)It's about a goofy, enthusiastic Anthropology professor, a skeptical psychiatrist, and a brilliant but eccentric Physics buff who investigate miraculous phenomena. It's kind of a quirky series, but often quite moving a thought-provoking, and the characters are really wonderful. ♥ If you get a chance to check it out, I highly recommend it! I've been rewatching some of it today and I'm having a great time. :D
