I think it's one of those things that I want to like more than I really do like. I think it tries too hard to be fabulous. I think it's incredibly uneven, and it's not grabbing me the way I want it to. I got the first DVD on a whim because of the director, Shinichiro Watanabe.
I'm watching the 12th episode now (that's the last one I have), and I feel like it's just starting to hit its stride in some small ways.
But... I have half the collection and I'm sure I'll go ahead and get the rest as they become available. I like the animation, at least, stylistically.
Look! My journal is being spammed by the Steve Blum Fangirl Club.
Just as guilty.
Dear Steve: would you please read these two (http://www.livejournal.com/users/not_that_spike/15948.html?thread=184396#t184396) stories (http://www.livejournal.com/community/milliways_bar/4964816.html?thread=204333264#t204333264) for me in your very best Spike voice? Pretty please, with a cherry and a hundred-dollar bill on top? Oh, and speak clearly into the microphone if you would. This is a moment that wants replaying.
