Sniggled from [livejournal.com profile] evil_little_dog:
Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me your favorite thing/person/season/taste/whatever. It can only be one word. No more.

I'll use your word to write you something. It could be a one-sentence, a drabble, or a fic.

Then copy & paste this in your journal so that I may leave a word about for you.
What the hey. I need something to do besides invent backstory for the Pumpkin Scissors universe (why does someone have all the biographies of Gouverneur Morris checked out? I suppose his papers will suffice me, but I'd like to have some context first ...)

I keep hearing about it. I should try to find it.

ext_110433: The Magdalen Reading (Books)
From: [identity profile] nebroadwe.livejournal.com
Funimation.com has the anime (dub only) up for viewing on their website. It's a pretty good dub, though, IMO -- very lively, and one of the last ADV produced before they went kaplooie. None of their Usual Suspects in the main cast (though several drop by to take supporting roles -- Vic Mignogna, in particular, gives a performance as a guest antagonist about midway through that raises the hair on the back of my neck). Adam Dudley and Kaytha Coker, as the male and female leads, occasionally sound like they're straining for the desired effect, but not too often; Gray Haddock, Blake Sheppard and Monica Passley as their support team are pitch-perfect -- Haddock above all has great chemistry with everyone he works with, which is quite a feat given that it's all done single actor by single actor in a booth.

It's not classic stuff, but it's entertaining, as long as the violence and the occasionally facepalm-worthy gender politics don't toss you out of the story.
