The News

is just too gruesome. The commentary is even more gruesome. I'm sitting here trying to think of something a little more upbeat to post -- let's see: something nice to look at, a little light-hearted (or a lot), cheery and optimistic.

Aha!



In spite of the bit at the very beginning, this one's relentlessly upbeat. (But pay attention -- those flashbacks are really important.) I've done a Review in Brief of it here, and it's become one of my favorite things to watch when I'm really tired and need just to relax a bit.

If you want to watch the whole thing, it's available at Aarinfantasy (you have to join the forums and have BitTorrent or equivalent software to download anime) and it's on YouTube.
