Mmmmm! Anime!
We finally started consuming all that anime I bought a few weeks ago. In the last week we watched the entire Haibane Renmei series and of Hellsing. We really enjoyed both.
Haibane Renmei is all about redemption and relationships between girls that are kind of like angels. It is full of mystery and is sweet, sad and full-filling. The animation style is very reminiscent of Kino's Journey.
Hellsing is just too cool! This 13 episode series starts off strong and never lets up! It is set in England and is about the Hellsing organization and their pet vampire who helps them hunt other vampires and basically protect Queen and country from evil. I really like the characters and Alucard just oozes stylish vampire all in red with the cool colored spectacles, the flowing coat, the huge hat and the twin guns (the larger of the two inscribed with "Jesus Christ is in Heaven Now"). I waited about 6 years to see this after catching the first two episodes in the video room at Dragon*Con. I got up at 5am just so that I could catch the screening of the new anime releases that year. It was worth the wait!
I would love to cosplay as Alucard. tokraed would make a great Victoria Seras (aka "Police Girl") as well. Hmmmmmm?
