   We were lovers....
So, I just finished watching the first episode of Gankutsuou.

I love it just after the first episode. Which is unusual for me, It takes me at least 3 or 4 episodes before I love or hate an anime. (Unless you’re Eureka 7, then you’re just too horrible to watch.)

The art style immediately sucked me into it. It’s hard to describe it really; it’s like some sort of painting collage mish-mash optical illusion thing. If you survived the opening of Elfen Lied (x.x too much nudity) it has a similar effect as that, but better… Anyhow. Here, enjoy random screen bits. For the best effect, you need to see it moving. It’s hypnotic.

The OP/ED themes are awesome. As soon as I’m done posting this up onto you, my Dear Otaku Blog, I’m going to gendou to see if they offer a download of it. In series-wise, I can’t really recall much BGM that was especially noteworthy. That’s okay, almost all anime BGM is…forgettable. (However the biggest exceptions in the world, for me, are Escaflowne and FLCL.)

Granted, I just got a tiny peak into the plot. From the art style and the conversations between the Count and Albert, this is going to be a cerebral and surreal ride, which I am looking forward to immensely.

This really isn’t a review, just some of my impressions of this particular title. Right now, I can’t urge you to buy this title straight away, but rather download a fansub or go rent it.
