Gilgamesh

Hi! ^^ I was bored yesterday and decided to go to my local (20 minutes-on-a-bus away) second hand dvd, cd and all round media store and look to see if they had any interesting but cheap anime. And guess what? I found vol. 1 of Gilgamesh for £4. So, I met my boyfriend, Nik at train station, we went home, I gave him his surprise (raspberry's, he loves them) and then we put it on. Oh, my gosh is it weird. Interesting but still very weird. I understand it but at the same time, it still kinds confusing.

I don't really know if it's all that popular but for anyone who doesn't know what it's about, it set in a futuristic world where the sky has been turned into a "psychedelia mirror". The story follows two runaway, Kyoko and her little brother (whose name I don't remember off the top of my head) who owe some men a lot of money. They meet these guys who are latter revealed to be called Gilgamesh (hence the title) which is the name of an army of mutants (?) under the control of a scientist (whom we haven't met yet.) Anyway, another group of mutants attack the Gilgamesh and take the siblings to see their master, The Countess. They all live in a hotel together and eventually, Kyoko's little brother starts to show mutant powers and it sort of follows his development. Phew! I don;t know if that all makes sense, but if you haven't seen it, I would recommend it. Just give it a try. The animation isn't brilliant, I'll admit (not compared to FMA and the like) but I do believe Gilgamesh is quite an old anime. Not sure though ^^;

Anyway, that's all I have to to report so far but hopefully more anime soon ^^

Tears =^-^=
