Aberinkula Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 [COLOR="77656"]Well, this is anew anime on the Fuse network. I thought it was some music show at first, but it's an anime. And I'm left WTFing right now. Has anyone seen or heard about this anime? At the beginning we are left to watch the character, Cossette being murdered by her boyfriend? I don't know, but I do know this Cossete girl is hot. Blonde hair, nice red lips... nevermind, I'll stop there. No we are switched to present day 'somewhere.' EDIT: Well this anime is horror, and it is awesome. In just 3 minutes we see the main character who sees a girl with sad eyes, [spoiler]then blood starts gushing from his house's walls and furniture, the boy mutates into a beast, and his house burns down. And it seems there's a glass of something that is signigicant to the story.Also, I think his parents/grandparents are dead[/spoiler] Anyways, wiki is better at explaining this. [QUOTE=Wikipedia]The anime is about art student Eiri Kurahashi, who works in an antique shop. One day, he sees the image of a girl in an antique glass. To his shock, she appears to be moving and living out her life before his eyes. He becomes infatuated with the girl, and one night at midnight, somehow makes contact with her. He learns her name is Cossette, and that she was an aristocrat's daughter during the 18th century. She reveals to him that her spirit has been entrapped within the glass by her murder, which was perpetrated by her betrothed, the artist Marcelo Orlando. To set her free, she tells Eiri, a man must be willing to take upon himself punishment for the sins Marcelo committed. As the series progresses, Eiri is tortured mentally and physically by Cossette, who demands that he prove his professed love for her. It is revealed that Eiri is the reincarnation of Marcelo, and that Cossette is becoming as infatuated with him as he is with her. Also depicted are the efforts of the women in Eiri's life - relatives, friends and mentors, and the obligatory girl-next-door love interest - to free him from what is becoming increasingly obvious to them as a self-destructive path. [/QUOTE] Also, I think this anime is liscenced by Geneon, not sure. [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 It's an 3 episode ova. It's in the modern era. I own the dvd and from what I saw it's pretty bland. I might finish it if absolutely run out of things to watch. Oh and it's not new by the way it's been around for a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you know, Prem, you are officially tasting my favorite director of all time Akiyuki Shinbo. [/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberinkula Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 [COLOR="77656"]Sweet, and I love this anime, the artwork is simply sublime. And the charactesr are cool too, Cossette has an eery gothic lolita feeling about her that just makes me have a fan-gasm. My favorite character has to be Eiri, [spoiler]him being Marcello, and having to do the same as him[/spoiler] just adds to his tension. The psycological elements flow together, and make me think which adds to ghtis anime's greatness. But with only 3 episodes, it becomes a bit disapointing :/ Psychological anime are my favorite btw. From Ergo Proxy to Neon Genesis Evangelion.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From 2:30pm 9:30pm eastern time. They're showing all 3 eps of LPdPC in at 1:00pm eastern. Just to give yall a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Fuse has balls for putting Ergo Proxy up there. I wouldn't think a show like that would have mass appeal at all.(Well I guess the emo kids would like the main character but besides that...) With all this new anime popping up we might have ourselves a new alternative to cartoon network for Tv anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they start showin anime constantly on Fuse, then that would be ILL! Hopefully they'd be able to pick up shows like Air Gear, Pumpkin Scissors, and a few others.

2010DigitalBoy Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Immortal, they've been airing Ergo Proxy for months... Anyway, i watched Le Portrait de Petite Cosette and aside from the less-than-good dub, it was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I knew I could expect as much from Shinbo, but man, that was ****ing incredible. Like nothing else out there, also, there needs to be an AMV of this show with the song Tahnatos from Eva like now lol. It's interesting how this show bears a LOT of similarities to The Soultaker, but with enhanced goth style and animation - all around it was just a downright sick experience. Definitely a WIN.

Either way they are adding more which means people must be watching which is a good thing. I think they should put the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya up next.

2010DigitalBoy Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Waht's hilarious is that, um, the show they've been putting on are Geneon shows, and in the credits they put commercials for other Geneon shows. Could it be that Fuse is putting on lots of Geneon shows because they are now cheap as hell for television or something?! either way if they put Gankutsuou on TV I'm laying ****ing eggs.

Aberinkula Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 [COLOR="77656"]With Geneon being capootoskies, we'll probalby see more anime on the networks as a whole. As far as anime goes, Geneon does it best for the US. They have really good shows compared some other companies. But there is also anoime on Sci-fi, but some of it is old. I don't know if Street Fighter or Noein is still on?[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
