Lazy Saturday...

It's been a funny day. I slept twelve hours last night - close enough - and it felt good. Planned to do things, ended up reading and then falling asleep on the sofa. What happened to the life of accomplishment and excitement that I want to be living?

Watched some more of Cowboy Bebop. I'm enjoying it very much - and it reminds me very much of Firefly: the old west ambience, the country-western music, the notion that being a bounty hunter isn't so unlike whatever it is that Mal Reynolds does for a living, and the people they meet have a certain resemblance. The fact that they fly around in a battered of spaceship which they love. The fact that - though on the surface the men are not much alike - they have a similar sense of humour, and a similar sense of courage.

Of course, resembling Firefly is not a bad thing. Not at all.

oh that is good to know, now I don't have to look for that. This is a series with an ending and it was all so frustrating. I like the humor but still the feeling that there is seriousness behind it. I do dislike the very slapsticky kinda humor that anime sometimes dives into.

It's rather surprising to see the difference in quality between the manga and the series - a completely different level of artistry and concept. But Spike is pretty good in all versions! I love his suit, and his loping walk. The combination of music and art is remarkable.
