Happy Days...

[dangermousie]

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.

Gun X Sword was very interesting.. and I loved how when Van eats something, he has to have ever condiment.

LOl - yup that was funny

[cranberrysheep.livejournal.com]

I love that blue dress.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It's so gorgeous

I watched a the first several episodes of GxS when I was last in India, definitely an interesting show. Unfortunately, don't think I'll ever watch it because I read about it on Wiki and spoiled myself for some crazy future things.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am staying away from spoilers for that one :)

Lol, Smi, when you left India, Jay and I ended up seeing the last (or was it second-last?) ep of GxS on TV and we were SO CONFUSED because we had basically missed half of the show. XD

Brilliant Legacy is classic k-drama with all the coincidences and lies piling up and it's addicting... even though up thru ep 8, the lead guy is still a jerk.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am so addicted to it too!

God Aish is gorgeous. I loved the pics with her & Abhi, as well. They're still one of the most stunning couples alive. Even though I dislike his current hairstyle, can't not love him.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

The hairstyle is,indeed, unappealing. But he is hot despite it

[vierran45.livejournal.com]

Aish always looks so gorgeous! That blue dress is pretty wonderful as well!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yup!

[ambergold.livejournal.com]

I've said it before and I"ll say it again - it must be nice being Aishwarya Rai:)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Oh yes :)

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

I love GunxSword because it manages to actually make a point about revenge in the end. Does it solve anything? No. Does Van still follow through with it? Yeah, he does. It almost has the same message as Trigun, only told in a different way.

I also love bitter, angry Ray, who is beautiful and slightly nuts and pretty darn cool.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I am so excited I finally started on the anime - it's so good.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Oh yes

[astrothsknot.livejournal.com]

Both ladies look so lovely.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yes they do

[bae-mac.livejournal.com]

Luurrrvvee that blue dresS!!!

:)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I do too!

[wingstodust.livejournal.com]

Shu Qi~~ The blue dress is love. =D

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Oh yes it is

[salimbol.livejournal.com]

I seem to recall a marauding moustache in GxS as well. (Anime writers are on crack at least half the time, I'm sure.) And ah, Trigun, how I love thee. If I ever get the time I will be sure to rewatch you in full one of these days!
What beautiful women! Aishwarya Rai especially, I think; I love to see a woman with some real curves absolutely owning the red carpet like that.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Marauding moustache???? Ahahaha

[salimbol.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I'm pretty certain that's in GxS. It's ... hard to miss, so you can't be up to that bit yet!

[autumn-yaar.livejournal.com]

Ah, my favorite shade of blue!! ♥

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It's so pretty!
