With all the weekends and night work I've been doing since... oh, May?... days and such seem to blend into one big mash - I'm no longer sure if I'm coming or going... (although the last couple weeks I have convinced management that someone else can do the work - but that may be more with another guy who was doing an ass load of night and weekend work having a seizure....)
Well, last night, I needed to kill some time while waiting for something to progress in Suikoden III, I flipped to watching cable. It happened to be on Cartoon Network and an interesting anime was on (called Read or Die according to the guide). Since I missed 9 minutes, I set up the Replay to record it later that night. I proceeded to flip channels and came up on G4-TechTV playing anime. The guide wouldn't tell me what it was, to I watched the last 15 minutes of the show.
Afterwards, I found out it was R.O.D. - TV. So, this morning, again needing to kill time in between waiting, I watched Read or Die. After the opener, the opening credits started, and I'm thinking, "Wait this is the credits for what I watched last night. Did I watch this, or was this on that other show. Wait, that was the other show that I saw the credits to." As the credits continued, "Wait, those are the people from that other show. Oh wait, was that because I saw a few minutes of this... No, that's right, that paper master guy shredded that dude (dude in question pops up on the credits). Hey, is this the same show?" As if to answer, the credits and, and a banner R.O.D. comes up. Then it hits me - R.O.D. = Read or Die. Ah, this is the video, and the other was the TV series.
I swore that the blue haired chick was voiced by Wendee Lee. Credits said differently - Amandw Winn Lee - who I wondered (and later confirmed) was married to this Jaxon Lee person. She also seemed to produced and directed the English version.
Also, midway through, it was confirmed that this was the show I wanted to record anyway (based on an ad I saw weeks ago) but forgot all about.
And, what's with the Super Milk Chan?? (Perhaps this will also jog my memory to check this out when it comes out, lest I forget... amongst the various other things I have forgotten because of crappy assed work......
