( My answers underneath the cut )

I didn't find out about the news until this morning.  I'm glad this was the case, or I would never have been able to fall asleep last night (and I didn't even have access to a computer then).

Anyway, a few comments on Elisabeth (because I feel the need to put in my two cents as well :P):

1) There has been a lot of discussion Kacha now that we've ( Read more... )

Hankyu has given us no scandalous news recently, and I don't have anything to do while waiting for my disc to copy.  In the mean time, I'm subjecting my friends list to scattered thoughts on a few shows I've been watching lately :P

( Excalibur, Rika's sayonara show, and Mami's sayonara show )

It's been interesting reading the opinions on potential tsukigumi Elisabeth casting.  Some people are really excited about the idea of someone they like being cast as Franz, and some dread the idea.  The same goes for Lucheni.

Happy shonichi, tsukigumi~~~~~~!

Why didn't anyone tell me that Mami's ESP! is awesome?  It's been a while since I sat down and watched something that wasn't an interview/production notes/etc.  As much as I love off-stage stuff, I think I need to start working through my backlog of revues if ESP was any indication of really sparkly things that I didn't realize I had ( Read more... )

To give some background, I have a copy of the 1995 version on DVD.  I watched the first act but somehow never got around to watching the second.  As MiiMai’s Tokyo start date got closer and closer, I consciously decided not to go back and watch the second act.

I started off grumpy for reasons that I won’t go into here, but I even have a ( Read more... )
