One thing I found rather distressing:

Spoiler — click to reveal

Stresseman is sorta portrayed as a near-pedophile, not just a dirty old man in the live action version...

He never goes over that edge, dont worry!

Thanks again Eve! :victory:

Youre very welcome!!

It is one of my very favorite of his films too! :victory:

Me too... Along with Princess Mononoke. :victory:

Nodame, Episode 8... Liking it more. :victory:

But I do think that the opening and closing music is completely out of place, given the classical nature of the entire drama.... :headscratch:

They do the same lame music in the next series too. I use fast forward/chapter skip myself. :beaten:

haha, I like the ending and openings :) Usually I ff them too, because I want to get to the anime itself, but I think the songs are sweet and cheerful, about the sheer joy of music itself, which very much captures a core part of Nodame Cantabile :dancing:

I always sing "tokyo et paris, paris et tokyo, et toujours la musique" :sweat:

I gotta admit that line cracks me up.

Taking a break from drama. Now onto NAruto Shippuen ep 55. :mrgreen:

It's one of Miyazaki's best. :thumbsup:

And the soundtrack, like for Kiki, is top-notch. :)

I agree that the OP of the 2nd series is utter crud compared to the OP of the 1st series...

But the ED of the 2nd series is a wonderful variation of Ravel's Bolero...very much in keeping with the classical nature...

I really like the ED of the Paris Chapter, really catchy. :victory:

OP?

ED?

Nodame, Episode 9.... Nice.

Pretty much no part of this episode shows up in the live action, other than the part about Stresseman being sick/hungover, which appeared in the live action SP.

On to Episode 10. :victory:

I liked where the story line diverted as well. :victory:

On ep 59 now of Naruto SHippuden.

I didnt get tired of the first series for about 170 eps. I wonder how long this one will hold me. :metaldevil:

Stumbled onto this YouTube video of an anime I watched as a kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbj9VqNCBew

That brings back memories... :victory:

oh man, i haven't seen that in ages..

I haven't watched any new anime in ages! I am so behind on Bleach these days, I need the motivation to get back into it but there's so much :S I randomly started re watching some of Full Moon the other day, last time I watched it was before I had all the manga, now I realise how much fillers were in it :o still a good show though.
I'm on too much of a drama binge at the mo :o

krim wrote:oh man, i haven't seen that in ages..

Same here.

Now I've gotta see if I can find a video for Getta Robo G and Triton. :beaten:

EDIT: Found Getter Robo G: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD8E_mc1ntU :victory:
