10 February 2007: Soukou no Strain -- A Little Princess
I've been reading A Little Princess. Yes, I do blame Soukou no Strain. As you might expect, the original book is a little bit different from its anime adaptation.

For one thing, there are relatively few spaceships in the book. Also, Lavinia is not a lovestruck lipstick lesbian.
To tell you the truth, the book actually does clear up some of the questions I had about Soukou no Strain. For one thing, Sara Crewe's stoical attitude towards her tormentors makes more sense to me now. I also appreciate her otherwise odd views towards Emily now that I'm familiar with the context from the novel.
Here's to a Little Women anime. A Little Women anime with GIANT ROBOTS.
