| Alderamin on the Sky (TV) | Very good | Good military hero story following a capable but lazy commander. Focuses on characters, strategy, and tactics. |
| Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan (TV) | Masterpiece | This is a show of strange contrasts, uniquely pleasant surprises, and self-indulgent art. I once auditioned for a play with a willful and awesome firey old bat of a director. I auditioned for the American strait laced villian role, totally bombed it, then my drama teacher gave another script, threw me on stage without any time and told me to read the comical boisterous role in a cockney accent. Afterwards I learned the director had already made up her mind who was getting this role but when she saw me do it she immediately changed her mind. I was completely different in looks and character than the other person, so it was unexpected for everyone including myself. Some projects you do, too, just seem to work beautifully. Everyone gets along, everyone has the best time of their life, and the end result is this really unique and special thing that no one could ever really reproduce. Hisone and Masotan feels like a bunch of people who really like anime and manga and stories and art--albeit in separate genres--got together, got along well, didn't give a rats ass about the formula...maybe...and made something they really liked. |
