FUCK

My favorite TV show is going off the air in March

No, really. Ainori, the show I watched every Monday night the entire time I lived in Japan, and intended to continue watching, is ending. I'm a bit in shock over this. They even said it has wildly popular ratings, they just feel like this is the time for it to end.

Arrrgh grumble grumble.

How sad! Ainori sounds delightful. :-(

Isn't it likely these days that at some point some other channel will pick the format up and do an English-language version? (For instance, The Apprentice was originally a Japanese format that found worldwide fame, and there are plenty of others...)

Isn't it also true that Japanese shows fairly frequently tend to stop while they're at the top?
