Emma: Second Act 12 - It’s a Weep-Fest

Friday, July 27th, 2007

We've bypassed the sniffles and gone straight to the ugly cry!

And thus, another season of Victorian Romance draws to a close. Unlike season one, though, there’s no room for a third season - and, really, no need.

Did I absolutely love this finale more than I’ve ever loved any other finale before it? Well…no. But it did fit the series pretty well.

Emma: Second Act 9-10-11 Lump Sum

Peek-a-boo, I see you...

The US licensing of Emma was a bittersweet moment for me. On the one hand, I will now get to own this amazing series (both seasons!) on a DVD that I didn’t have to make myself. At the same time, though, this meant that Iichan dropped the series and would no longer be translating it. So how the hell was I supposed to know how it all ended?!?!?!

Cue panic and a lot of emo-weeping.

Well, luckily for me, another sub group opted to pick it up and finish out the series, giving me the strength to carry on. I’m still excited to be able to buy it on DVD when it’s finally released (you know, a few years from now…), but at least now I won’t have to wait quite as long for a resolution.

And so now I give you my few brief thoughts on the past three episodes.

Only one left and then the curtain closes on the second season!

(I just realized that I’ve completely skipped episode 8…but, uh…you know…whatever. Stuff happened, Emma was in it, William was in it, the end.)
