sherryillkI had no idea that licensed Weiss Kreuz is called "Knight Hunters."
Yesterday, before the floor meeting, Muni was over at our apt. because his oven was broken and he was making cookies for the meeting so he was using ours. He was sorta hanging out as his terrible cookies burned (that's what happens when you set the temp. way too high and put frozen cookies in it) and he asked me what I was watching. At the time I was watching some FMA and I told him that it was Full Metal Alchemist and that it was anime.
Since he's the Adult Swim guy, he was like "you like anime?!" and I was "yeah" and he started off on this Ghost in the Shell thing that I still don't really understand. I think he was inviting me over to watch it with him but since the invitation was for tonight and it's 1:30 AM already, I'm pretty sure it expired.
He also talked about FLCL and about this one anime that his friend is working on. Apparently his friend is a voice actor (an American, English speaking one) working on dubbing this one character from a show that was about these people who were florists by day and sorta superheroes by night. He asked me if I hear of it but I had no clue what it was about.
Later, I looked it up.
Masha!!! You're the one who's seen it! Why didn't you tell me what Weiss Kreuz was about anyway? :( I should have known!!! I mean, it's Weiss Kreuz!
Muni's friend is working to dub Weiss Kreuz. OMG. Weiss Kreuz, the anime with so many great seiyuus such as Seki Tomokazu (on of my favs), Koyasu Takehito (big fav!!!), Miki Shinichirou (much beloved), and even Okiayu Ryoutarou (forever in my heart). Why would someone do such a thing.
But I still wonder though. The dub, licensed Weiss Kreuz anime has been released in the US for a while so what is Muni's friend working on? The OVA? Gluhen? I don't know if Media Blasters had gotten the license on those yet (and as far as I know, not on the OVA) but it is possible...
Oh, and Media Blasters has a long list of license anime. They are even going to release Samurai Deeper Kyo!!! What I wouldn't give to get a better version of that. The subtitles on the Chinese bootleg are just terrible but I just love the story and the OP theme is just beautiful. (Just thinking about the song and the show made me want to listen to the song so I am.) It was a somewhat sad, sorta ambiguous ending, but it still was very powerful. A great 26 episode anime. They also have Magic Knight Rayearth (not so great) and they had Rurouni Kenshin. Talk about popular titles...
But who would have thought that such a connection would exist? Well, I am in NYC so I guess it's less weird had I still been in Hood River. But still if you think about it...
Ah, got to get to sleep. It's late and I've got class in only seven hours. Oh! There's six hours of sleep for ya.
