phantom of the opera-anime

[lettered]

When I was first getting into POTO, someone linked me to this fanvid someone made of the ALW POTO Overture...dance mix...played over this...anime. I always remembered it forever because 1) it creeped me out. 2) it's utterly fascinating how well this anime seems to fit POTO. 3) I spent hours and hours wondering what the anime could possibly be about. 4) there were skulls and roses and stuff, and sad phan that I am, I get all fascinated by flowers and death.

Anyway, so I mentioned the vid to my_daroga, and she hadn't seen it before. Thank god for YouTube.

S recognized it right away; we're not going to watch the rest of the video because we've been meaning to see it!

But I'll save it, and come back to it. Thanks, J!

Okay, how did you hear about this anime?

I actually saw it for rent at Blockbuster, of all places, once, and was going to rent it but was with people who Would Not Understand and I didn't have my card, so I thought I'd come back. But then I did and they weren't carrying it any more.

It's based on short stories by a guy S loves. You should see the books. They have absolutely everything available to rent out here, so if we get a hold of it I'll get you a copy.

Oh, cool. Maybe I'll give the manga a try someday.
