damerell at 03:14am on 26/03/2004We just watched the last episode of Abe's Haibane Renmei.
He really has excelled himself this time; Lain and NieA were good, but this is something else. Every now and then I see something, like Utena, which really stands out from all that's gone before; and this is another such show.
ADV have suddenly switched trailer style to the kind with the guy with the HUGE AMERICAN VOICE talking about A WORLD THAT TIME FORGOT (a particular favourite ends a trailer; "GOOD. AND EVIL. IN A FIGHT..." which had us laughing for some time) ... which are, unfortunately, even worse than their previous trailers. They are not alone in this, in that trailers from American anime licensors seem to be near-universally awful.
The awful wind of the last few days has finally died down - this is nice not least because after a week of strong crosswinds and headwinds [1] you find you're actually pretty quick once they go away...
[1] "and tailwinds?" - no such luck.
