IN WHICH HANNAH IS A SCI-FI NERD

[neocloud9]

So. I finally caved and ordered the first two parts of Toward the Terra with some of my birthday money.

DAMMIT WHY CAN'T I RESIST THINGS THAT ARE PRETTY AND RETRO? D:

Speaking of which, what's this I hear about Serge having a cameo in Toward the Terra?
SIBNELALNHGLAJNB WHAT????

[neocloud9]

SEE, THAT WAS MY REACTION TOO. *A*

(Though I'm not entirely sure what a character from the late 19th century would be doing in a futuristic sci-fi anime... Just the animators having fun with the fandom, I guess.)

[mikagechan]

I might just have to check that out. D:

Now I'm so tempted to watch Kaze to Ki no Uta again, though. *sigh* Serge... GIIILBEEERT!!! TT___TT

[neocloud9]

I resisted for as long as I could, but my curiosity won out in the end. XD

Oh, I know...I know. TwT

*therapeutic buddy hug*

[breyzyyin]

...It looks really awesome? I haven't heard much about it though! :D

[neocloud9]

Mmkay. Alas, I had been misled. But I still can't wait to watch it. X3

INORITE? It seems like Mitsuki Saiga has been popping up everywhere lately. |D

[neocloud9]

It may just replace Fantastic Children in the "recent science fiction anime with awesome 1970's art style" category. XD

WHY. SO. PRETTY. *A*

[tiam_atardecer]

I love that anime, it's really beautiful *_* though sad sad sad!!! I love the plots and the character developments. And well, just everything :D.

Enjoy it!!!!!! <3

XD And just in case, have some tissues at hand.

[neocloud9]

Oh God. It's gonna be one of those, isn't it? TwT

WHY ARE ALL OF MY FAVORITE SCI-FI ANIME SO TRAGIC?

I've heard it's brilliantly written, acted, directed, animated, etc...

Oh Keiko, why do you enjoy making us cry? ;~;

[tiam_atardecer]

:P I'm not saying anything else... *cruel*

And it really is!!! I love it a lot, really!!! It's just perfect in all ways!! :3

[neocloud9]

All the descriptions and reviews I've read thus far have convinced me it's right up my alley.

While I love my happy endings, I also enjoy an anime that can make me sob. <3

PLUS, IT JUST LOOKS SO COOL. *geeks out*

[meomnimi]

I really hope you enjoy this series because I love it. [And look in your local bookstore for the manga too? cos that is love too]

Regarding the Serge cameo. There are quite a few characters from other Takemiya Keiko's works used in this anime. Serge and a lot of other KazeKi characters, their first name and their face got used for some minor characters. And that's what I called cameo, and that's also what's been recognised [and somewhat parodied] by many Japanese fans. The use of these characters also got a mention in the Japanese entry of Towards the Terra. I believe Serge [<- what I'm calling him, tis his name afterall] comes out in ep 17

[neocloud9]

It's totally your fault that I've gotten into this! XD

I can already tell I'm gonna love it.

Heh, maybe she got tired of designing two sets of characters and decided to...recycle?

[meomnimi]

no, I think the anime chucked in all those characters because they thought it'd gain popularity, and I don't care that it's a bait because to see Serge being animated so prettily like this makes me feel really really happy [and then my mind wanders off and I plot happy endings for him and Gilbert;]

although Takemiya-sensei is the original author, anime character design is by... Yuuki someone; I can't remember his first name;;;
and even though I love the designs she had in the manga too, I think updating it to a new look in this anime is really lovely too~~~ [and I was looking through my sister's Cosmore just then and there was an amazing cosplay of Keith and Matsuka]

Bombard me with questions! I'll try my best to answer them.

oh and get the soundtracks too, it's amazing <3

and, YES ANOTHER TERRA E FAN?!

[neocloud9]

Ah, good for the anime staff then! I approve. |D

GAWD I HAVEN'T GOTTEN INTO AN EPIC SCI-FI ANIME IN A WHILE

I'M SO EXCITED

AND IT'S SO PRETTY

I should thank you for your enthusiasm. I might not have checked it out if it weren't for you!
