[thechat] Anime Update: Millennium Actress

[Luther, Ron]

Ben Dyer touted a new anime flick "Millennium Actress"

Hi Ben,

Hey! Thanks for the 'heads up' -- this sounds like a wonderful film. 
[Being a 'monolingo gringo', I think I'd prefer a dubbed version ... 
but this sounds too good to pass up.]

Thanks also for the prior suggestions ... I'm up to 10 titles now that 
cover about 17 discs.  I just finished the Cowboy Bebop saga - most 
excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed that. However, I think the quality 
'spoiled' me a bit ... it took a while to get 'into' the Trigun series. 
(I'm about 2/3 of the way through it now and enjoying it quite a 
bit ... I just think I may have been a bit slower to warm up to it 
since I don't think it's quite up to the Bebop level.)

It took forever (5 weeks for delivery!? No replies to my emails to the 
vendor - even after threatening to dispute the charge? Grrrr.) but I 
finally got my hands on a used copy of Bubblegum Crisis ... so I've got 
that queued up once I finish Trigun.

[Oh, thanks for the 'anime music' project also!  I cut a CD and listened 
to it on a flight to Baltimore over the Labor Day holiday ... I've got 
it sitting in my truck now - had to listen to "Ask DNA" on the way in 
this morning. Great tune.  Even better after seeing the video.]


I had been thinking that 'Perfect Blue' and 'Boogiepop Phantom' would 
probably be my next forays into anime ... but I think I'm going to have 
to add 'Millennium Actress' to the short list now.

Yeah!  Thats what I needed ... another obscure expensive hobby!  ;-P
