Escaflowne.
I'd seen the TV cels and the art did NOT impress
me. Several people on this board endlessly gushed
about it, somehow making me less interested in
seeing it. My best friend was buying it as it was
released here and said it was great. Another
Forum member (hi Lizzard! ^_^) *sent me* copies
of her tapes of it and they gathered dust on my
computer desk as I kept finding excuses not to
watch them. . .
Then the movie came out here in Boston and I was
ordered by self-same Forum member to get off my
duff (rather, onto it) and WATCH THE TV SERIES,
so to better enjoy the movie. (Originally, I had
no interest in the movie. . . I was only going
because I wanted to meet Lizzard. ^_^)
So, procrastinating until almost the last minute,
I finally sat down and watched the whole 26
episode TV series in one fell swoop. The result
is that my new update WILL have a page for
Escaflowne. Albeit, only movie cels have crept
into my collection so far -- I liked the TV
series better, but. . . it's the noses. ^_^;; (But
I have seen TV cels that have tempted me. ^_~)
Now I'm just planning the right moment to snag a
domestic DVD set of it.
Many Sharp Smiles,
