House of Five Leaves: the opening theme to this sounds like - and I say this in the most complimentary way possible - something they'd play in Banana Republic. (Air remixing Phoenix. Michael Mayer remixing Kylie. Annie remixing Saint Etienne or vice versa or whatever.) Obviously, they have the same target audience as Banana Republic, i.e. me. >_> I have kinda slept on this Immi person I guess?

Anyway. I haven't actually read the manga, because I buy Ono Natsume and there is too much of this one. XD; I have the Ristorante Paradiso side stories sitting on my desk upstairs and haven't gotten around to reading them. I sort of can't believe Ono Natsume wrote a samurai story and it... got animated by Manglobe, like what just happened there. You think you were confused, try watching this right after you wrap the SSBB historical romance issue. Dude did you just FTB on that action. Did you. The sad-sack protagonist is voiced by Namikawa "Rock" Daisuke, last heard when sororial unit and I were LOLing over clips of the Japanese dub of Merlin**, so evidently he's doing a good line in Long-Suffering Dudes.

...Do you think they'll ever animate the Italian politicians BL? Will it be better or worse than the Sex Pistols OAV? LET'S TAKE A VOTE.

Have not yet watched yesterday's Doctor Who ep. It took ages to download so ended up watching Rose with T and then I just kept on watching Image of the Fendahl. Which has comedy characters named Martha and Jack Tyler. IDEK.


** Frighteningly natural. I mean it could basically be Kyou Kara Maou or something.

I'm pondering writing a comparison between this and The Eleventh Hour, because they both ratcheted the tension up effectively only to have it dissipate with the reveal of belief-suspension-challenging monster effects. XD; IDK maybe in a few more decades ppl will look back on bad 90s/00s CG with nostalgia?

Heh. I admit the effects do fail both somewhat, but I'd enjoy reading the comparison.
