Now and Then, Here and There — First Look

August 26, 2008 at 2:29 pm (Anime, First Impressions, Now and Then, Here and There)

Well, I’d heard this was a great series.  But I also heard that it was quite dark, so while I desired to watch it with my husband, I decided to forge on ahead without him as I’m home sick today.  He, too, wants to watch it, but is in the mood for something a bit lighter, ala The Vision of Escaflowne and Death Note.  Sometimes, I’m too impatient for my own good, but who cares.  This was well worth sneaking ahead of him.

It’s been a long time since I’ve watched any of this series–and an even longer time since I actually took the time to blog about it.

The Vision of Escaflowne — Episode 3

August 21, 2008 at 6:15 pm (Anime, Episode Discussions, Escaflowne)

Allen was introduced in this episode. I think I like him. He’s quite the smooth-talker, but not in a bad way. In a sense, he reminds me of Lando Calrissian, although much less likely to stab people in the back (or so I hope.)

From one land being destroyed to another being under attack–quite the destructive anime. Hopefully Hitomi will start to realize she’s seeing the future and begin warning people when she has visions of mass destruction. It’d be a good idea.

Anyway, still liking the series, just didn’t find much to say about this episode (although glad to hear Balgus was the instructor of Allen as well–go Balgus!)

The Vision of Escaflowne — First Look

August 10, 2008 at 6:53 pm (Anime, Escaflowne, First Impressions)

Once upon a time, five or six years ago, I popped a rented DVD into my DVD player. My neighbor had his music blaring. There was a perpetual “thump thump thump” coming through the walls. I was in a bad, bad mood due to this.

One episode was watched. It was then placed back into the DVD case and returned to the rental place the next day in disgust. That was my introduction to The Vision of Escaflowne. Surprising to none, I am sure, my second attempt at watching the first episode met with much more success.
