This isn't a review. This is a reality check. I just took apart my ancient, on it's last leg VCR, in order to free the equally ancient
Earthian tape (the only copy I could get my hands on locally *geesh*). Now I've got screws and panels laying around all over and still the tape is imprisoned because there's some darn release thingy that I can't release. The VCR is kaput. The power won't come on, so it isn't receiving electricity. Ya know, that's fine.
I have a perfectly new Recordable DVD/VCR, but I still wanted to watch Earthian
tonight. Danggit. Guess I'll just have to see if I can order the DVD set. It'll be worth it.
I must be one of the last people on Earth to have discovered Earthian. I LOVE it. I don't know why, aside from the yaoi aspect. It's dated, but still of good quality. It's adorable, and I don't usually go for adorable or angels. I like the fact that Chihaya is sweet and tough at the same time, and that the slashyness hits you out of nowhere (or is that because I'm missing an episode and didn't see it coming?). And that when Chihaya revealed his wings to Messiah, I was really touched! And even more touched when Messiah calls out to him at the end of that episode. Small things were done really well. Those little surprises are what I'm looking for.
Oh well. I shall be adding this to my growing collection
