It feels like Friday today, somehow!
Aishwarya Rai is such a very gorgeous woman, it's a little bit ridiculous. I love this photo of her at Cannes, with all the photogs - it's such a Marilyn Monroe moment.
Mr. Mousie and I started watching Gun x Sword an anime you can stream on Netflix. As it's stream, you have to watch dubbed. I don't mind most of the voices, but the voice for Wendy is so irritating I hate the character just because of it - seriously, that dubber is awful. But one does not look a gift (streaming) horse in the mouth I suppose.
I wanted to check out GxS for a while mainly because the set-up reminded me a bit of Trigun, my favorite anime of all time: it's another dusty Space-Western, with its a protagonist a roaming gunslinger with a haunted past and excellent skills. That is, obviously, a fairly general description and Trigun and GxS aren't that similar in actuality. After the first ep, I like this anime. Not as much as Trigun, but to be fair, I didn't even love Trigun after the first ep as much as I ended up loving it.
GxS follows Van, a mysterious man bizarrely dressed in a tuxedo who, in the opening episode, almost unwillingly saves a small town from a marauding gang (there are guns, swords, and giant mecha robots. YES.) Van acquires a hanger-on/admirer in the form of Wendy, a rather young girl who decides to tag along with him from then on despite his utter lack of interest and the anime follows his quest to track down and avenge himself on his nemesis, the Claw Man. As I said, I liked it.
I have also checked out the beginning of Brilliant Legacy and I like it - it's LOLtastic.
