and yes, that's him in my icon. Isn't he pretty? He can act well, too.

I'm really going to need to see this: a live action version of Tezuka's MW, starring my adored, the talented and charismatic Hiroshi Tamaki (aka, the swoonworthy Chiaki from the live-action Nodame Cantabile. Hiroshi charmed equally with sex appeal and by his willingness to make the most ridiculous and undignified faces known to man when his character goofed around with the titular Nodame, played by the equally charming Ueno Juri). I think it very likely that Hiroshi will be just as deliciously watchable as a charming, murderous sociopath as he was as a grumpy conducting student haunted by an uncouth piano student. And he'll be wearing sexy glasses and a nice suit! It's Cillian Murphy as the Scarecrow all over again, folks--I'm a lost cause.

Which reminds me, one of these days, I need to get my hands on the Nodame Cantabile live action DVDs, preferably with English subtitles and in a format my DVD player can handle. That series was incomparably fun, and good enough to rewatch.

Muah hah hah hah! Fellow library student here. I do know her website! She gave me the card for it in person one day when I actually showed up for an AnimeBoston staff meeting.

Excellent! It's hard to tell on the internet whether the person you're talking to lives next door or halfway around the world. Anime-loving library students unite!

Assuming library school doesn't drive me (any more) insane, I'll be at Anime Boston this year.

Then you must stop by the Manga Library and say hello! I'm the Manga Librarian.

I will be sure to. I may be carrying a duck. :-)

DUDE. I already knew it from the icon, but you have most excellent taste.

Hee.
