Eden

I just finished watching Red Garden! I really, really recommend it. It's up on veoh, all 22 episodes, here.

It's hard to know how to talk about it. I loved that it was mostly character driven -- the action is a key part of the plot, but it's not the most important thing about the series, if that makes sense. I really, really got to care about all the characters, even more minor ones like Ewan and Emilio and Emma. I thought it started kind of slowly, and raised a lot of questions while not answering them fast enough, but that also made it intriguing.

I really loved the relationships, too. The four girls who aren't alike coming together. The good boys who just don't understand but stick around anyway. The creepy weird guy who is absolutely fixated on his sister. The girl who watches, unable to really do anything, but agonised anyway. The love confessions are brilliant.

I also loved the art. It's a bit more realistic than some anime -- noses and mouths wise, really. It's just really pretty, and a little bit different. (Of course, some people say it's different and ugly, so... down to personal taste I guess.)

I sniffled a lot. And grinned a lot. And squealed even more.

If you want to know anything more specific, ask away!
