Just watched the first episode of Meine Liebe on a friend's recommendation. Yes, it's very with the seiyuu, and yes, it's very with the pretty boys (designs by Yuki Kaori). I'm not sure if I like it or not, though. I'll give it a few episodes to win me over. And the five main characters are so by numbers it's silly. The Main Character with a Tragically Deceased Sister. The Sensitive Pseudo-Psychic Flower Boy. The Best Friend Punk with a Heart of Gold. The Token Traditionalist Stoic Japanese Guy. The Oppositional Force with Knee-Length Hair. Oh, and then there's The Evil Silver-Haired Teacher with Glasses. I'm feeling more pandered to here than I ever was with HaruToki, which had eight good bishounen plus one bad one.

Took my mother to see Kingdom of Heaven and while in general I liked it and will be buying the DVD release, it felt like there were pacing problems with the story.

Wonderful Husband is watching Loveless which is leaving me scratching my head and asking "Huh?" But other than the pretty that's his reaction too.

Have purchased tickets for the N.A. debut of Howl's Moving Castle. ^_^
