Can't remember exactly as it's been so long, but I do remember hearing about it her on CR and I think it was reading the synopsis of the show and seeing something about Ichigo not being very good at ANYTHING and living in her sisters shadow who everyone else thought was talented, and I think something about that made me want to watch it. Probably 'cuz I feel like that's how I view my situation with my family sometimes.
Anyway I watched the first ep wondering if they were going to show the main protagonist as all emo or something, or just make her play the pity character to the hilt, but from the very first time they showed her in the first ep fixing up her hair in front of a mirror as she's hurrying to get ready for her sisters recital, she seemed rather well adjusted, if not a little too clumsy (LOL). Anyway, I can't explain it too well but something about that way they introduced her in the first ep and didn't play the pity card too much made me want to watch it some more and got me sold on checking out the rest. And I'm a guy and not afraid to admit it (well not TOO afraid

).
