Victor Hugo anime-style

RL - When the pressure is on, avoidance per internet keeps me awake. 2 more months til it's hopefully gone.

Les Miserables - Shoujo Cosette 1! As the title suggests, this anime will focus on Cosette.



+ Nice quality animation,
- but Cosette with the huge, round eyes on the huge, round head...is a bit much.
+ Pleasant opening/ending and background music,
- but definitely not the musical.
+ I like how they say Jean Valjean,
- but Valjean's seiyuu is very brick-like.
+ Javert looks pretty darn cool.

Impression~ Fantine the stupid leaves Cosette with some ugly innkeepers since she has a hard time finding a job with a child on hand. Valjean as Mayor Madeleine saves a young thief from being punished. I don't remember seeing any of Nippon Animation's other World Masterpiece Theater works, but I'm fond of re-introducing or remaking classics. Found it hard to really form a great opinion on this one episode. The episode was really laying on the cute, sad, pathetic & angst with a big slab of butter, and I don't think I will watch anymore...well, maybe to see how Javert makes out.
