why I am a huge geek...

There are two things that I adore, The French Revolution and animated movies/shows, so when the two come together you know I am a happy happy fangirl.

I have just found out that Japan has come out with another monstrosity(super freak'n awesome show) Les Miserables (the animated show!) YAY! (okay not really the French Revolution but.. eh... close enough) The only sad thing is that I think it is going to be Cosette centered, because the full title is Les Miserables - Shoujo Cosette (Maiden Cosette roughly). Thus not as dark as I like.

Other great angry French anime that are good...

Gankutsuo, a psychedelic Count of Monte Cristo set in the future... with vampires... kinda... really crazy visualization thing going on. Really good for as crazy as it sounds.

Rose of Versailles, a great late 70's "shoujo" with awesome crazy music and hair! I watched while I was in Italy known as Lady Oscar. The Italian opening rocks my face. I found this great youtube video that has the original group singing it... one of them is a guy with a CRAZY mane thing going on.

Har har har... historical animated romance... gotta love it

I think the reasons that I like animated shows more the live action are that with an animated show... the plots can be as crazy, take as many turns and it doesn't feel implausible and that a lot of characters in live action shows just seem dumb and piss me off (except in some excellent shows like House and exc.) Mostly teens, I hate TV teens. When they are animated then of course they are dumb... there a cartoon. That complete lack of reality that can only happen in an animated show.

I wonder what show would be horrible animated that doesn't suck anyway....
