The Rose of Versailles
[ TakaWiki ]

I can keep this short and sweet by saying... I didn't watch it. ^^; Really not in the mood for Berubara lately. But I did watch the speech at the end. Un-chan was as completely and terribly goofy as ever. Oh my god. She must be terribly, terribly shy. I hope her speeches are still as adorable, but I suspect she's gotten used to them by now.

Overall, a really fun show to see because of its nostalgia factor, but the surprise of this tape was actually...

( Ai Moeru )

So, yeah. Wow. I think I need to go watch that again.

But first, a complaint! Why did no one tell me that...

( Castel Mirage )

So, yes. Must hunt down full versions of Ai Moeru and Castel Mirage shinkos. ASAP.

[I'll come back and edit this post when I watch the Berubara.]

The Energy 7

Star - Revolt of a Gallant Poet: Matobu Sei & Emi Kurara
Snow - In Search of El Dorado: Otozuki Kei & Konno Mahiru
Cosmos - The Rose of Versailles: Tsukifune Sarara & Miwa Asahi
Flower - Michelangelo: Ranju Tomu & Sawaki Kurumi

My VCR mysteriously repaired itself! Quick, time to get my last bunch of videos onto DVD! ;) I thought this would be an interesting watch because it contained one show I'd never seen, one I liked quite a lot, and two I really didn't care for. Would the adorable younger casts change my impressions of the shows themselves?

One thing I did notice, and would like to complain about (What? Me? Complain about something? Heaven forbid.) was the fact that in general only the lead musumeyaku role made the cut to be included in the cast lists in the little booklet that came with the video, and generally 12-15 roles were listed for each show. No love, Hankyu, no love.
