WAZT: Cowboy Bebop, A Very Potter Musical, SyFy's Alice
I've been catching up on some tv watching during the holiday break, so here's some quick WAZT for you!
Cowboy Bebop - I finished the series two nights ago. Wow. That was ... that was pretty amazing. I've been watching it for a while now, and with each episode (particularly the ones in S2) the fact that this will probably be my favorite show EVER (tied with Firefly and Phineas and Ferb, which, if you know me, is saying something) was cemented again and again. I can literally find NO FAULTS in the WHOLE SHOW. I wouldn't change a thing, not even the ending (which made me tear up, mostly because it was so fitting and perfect and I COULD NOT FIND FAULT WITH IT, DAMMIT! *cries*) Go watch it. Seriously. If you like anime, watch it. If you don't like anime, give this show a try.
A Very Potter Musical - I watched that last night, at the bequest of my friend. And, true to her word, it was TOTALLY AWESOME! (And now I want to ship Voldemort/Quirrell, who would have thought I'd ever want to do that?!) If you haven't seen it, go watch it on youtube, it really has to be seen to be believed. Draco Malfoy was utterly fabulous! RUMBLEROAAAAAAAAAR! Lampshade hanging! *SQUEE*
Alice - I watched that today, and it was ... really good. Overall I liked it better than Tin Man. The universe, the characters, the story, all stacked up together it got a higher score from me than Tin Man did. Not to say that Tin Man wasn't awesome (it was) but some of the cliches grated and Azkadellia's blatant clevage fanservice got real old real fast.
While I feel they could have fleshed things out a bit more the potential was there and you could tell that a lot of thought and effort went into Alice. So many cool visuals! HATTER! (OMG, Hatter. He was like a really young Claude Raines with a Nice Hat, what's not to love?!)
Tim Curry's one-scene-wonder was rather frightening and I LOVED what little we saw of the Resistance.
As contrived as it was I did like that Alice was fully capable of kicking ass and saving herself.
The White Knight was PERFECT; Matt Frewer had better win something for playing that part!
Kathy Bates was cool initially but lacked the pizazz I've seen from her in the past. I can't put my finger on it, but ... something was lacking.
The costuming was FANTASTIC, most notably the diamonds in the Casino (you know the ones I mean. The fanservicey ones.)
I loved the steampunk/cyberpunk feel of the whole world, and the dichotomy between bright and colorful (the Casino and the Tea Shop) and grimy Earth Tones (pretty much everything else.)
Compared to other things it might fall a bit short, drag a little, become a tad predictable (yeah, it kinda was) but I enjoyed every minute and I reccomend it to you, my flist.
(P.S. What's up with Sci-Fi becoming Sy-Fy? I think it looks really stupid, personally, but as I don't even have cable it's not really on my radar.)
