DNAngel woes

Uuuuuu...The weather's so nasty today. So hot! I hate the summer so much >_<
I don't have anything at all to do today though Monday (Memorial Day weekend blues T_T). It's so boring, it makes me really sad. I wish I was better at making friends...

I'm watching the DNAngel anime on Anime Network. Not only is it not as good as the manga, it's just not very good at all. I like some new scenes that weren't in the manga to be added in to an anime, but changing the whole story line is terrible. It's like saying 'Sugisaki, we hate your story. We are changing it to make it better, because our ideas are better than yours.' >_< It's like the Ella Enchanted movie, only more enjoyable just because it's anime (and not Disney XP).
The timeline is all screwed up. The pool scene and Daisuke realizing that he's really in love with Riku both happen way before the Towa-chan arc >_< It's so confusing and weird!
The, er, 'revised' pool scene was fun if you take out Mio (get to her in a sec. Chotto matte ne). Hiwatari actually did CPR on Daisuke XD Well, the screen went black for that moment, but it did happen. In the manga, it was really With transformed into Daisuke and Hiwatari was interupted before he could do it ^^; (there's so much more Hiwatari/Daisuke in the anime ^^;)
Getting back to the downside, the anime takes out what makes DNA good. In the pool ep. (which I just watched), they add a new female character, Mio who detracts very much from the story. She is there to act as a rival for Daisuke's love. I never considered DNA a romantic comedy. In fact, romcom is worse than just plain romance! In the manga, Daisuke has Riku. There is no if and or but about it. Mio is completely uncalled for.
It's also way too episodic. I don't get the feeling of anything really big happening at all. There're other problems too.
It makes me worry what would happen if there were a Lagoon Engine anime >_< This company (don't know who it is) doesn't seem to understand Sugisaki-sensei's storytelling at all!
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate the anime. It's tough for me to hate an anime. It's just that I expect more from an anime based off DNA. If you ignore the manga, it's just a typical eveyday anime.

PS: Thanks for the icon, Sara!
