“Force of nature”?! Oh my gosh…..now I should realleh draw a picture of anime Valjean as a wind spirit or something….. ;)

Hearing ’bout the series on BasuGatsuBakuhatsu last January got me interested in Les Misérables, as well as one of my online friends being fond of the musical. ^__^;; The char designs are tolerable, to say the least (read: “to not sound like too much of a rabid fangirl of…one of the chars”).

I think 52 episode is a good lenght for “Les Miserables”, after all Gonzo did “Le comte de montechristo” in 26episodes and the pasting was really good and “les miserables” is more than twice as thick as montechristo.It reminds me of all these historic anime from the 80’s.

The serie seems to be headed in the good way I just noticed a few flaws: the story seems to revolve on Cosette while the power of the book is more in the fact that there is no real main character and what is really interesting is the characters interaction.
As for Aran it seems he is a new character, also it’s a bit disappointing that the story doesn’t seem to be chronological like the books who begins with the Jean VALJEAN journey.
Also some characters design aren’t really good especially Jean VALJEAN who looks more like a nice grandpa than the force of nature he should be.

Oh man, I can’t wait for Les Miserables to be subbed. I think I will be blogging this show since I’m familiar with the storyline, but fifty two episodes? That sure is sure lengthy.

Well Himawari is as nuts and as fun as ever, so that was welcome. Master of Epic left me a little baffled, though I did laugh a few times at some of the gags, Warage Black especially. But I dunno, it seemed a bit lacking. I may give it a few more eps to see whether it sticks to the short story format (like Magipoka I suppose).

i am wondering when les miserables will come out. It’s one of the series that i am actually keen on blogging a summary for, even though I am not too sure.

Ya, for the other two, nah, not the right genre for me.

Hmm, Les Miserables was first series of winter season I actually liked (at least enough to watch second episode). Though 52 episodes feel bit too long.
