verbminxI have had a rough couple of days... a migraine, followed by an intense urge to sleep a lot (which I did yesterday). But I woke up this morning feeling a lot better. Now I have a bunch of things to catch up with.
I have watched 2 DVDs of the anime Gilgamesh so far, and I really don't know what to make of it. It's very slow-paced and almost comically ominous in tone, but the story itself is just interesting enough that I keep watching it. I've never been able to get through Witch Hunter Robin or Wolf's Rain, which are the two series that it reminds me of most, albeit superficially. (It also reminds me a little of Ceres and a very little of Lain.)
It's the coldest day of the year, so far, but Tom and I are still going to do a bit of running around. Can't find a single movie to see, which has been the rule for most of the last few weeks. It's true that there's stuff we've missed, but all of it has got to be so close to DVD as to make seeing it in a theater kind of pointless... it's just going to the movies for the sake of going to the movies. We're going to check out a few newer small shops this afternoon.
(ETA: a little bit of research has shown that Gilgamesh and Lain share a director. The original writer also did Cyborg 009 and Kikaider.)
