I liked the musical Little Shop of Horrors, but didn't think much of the original old film.
Pet Shop of Horrors definitely has a permanent place in my heart, anyway. :p Possibly because it was one of the earlier animes I ever saw. I think I have more sentimental attachments to the anime I watched when I was just starting out than I do now.
Finished watching Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. It had some intriguing concepts and some funny bits, but all in all it didn't quite live up to the hype....people told me it was a life-changing anime, but my life's pretty much the same. Lucky Star is also being a slight let-down. (Too close to Azumanga Daioh to avoid comparison, yet without the heart and not quite as funny.) Finally watched the first five discs of Death Note--our library got the box set--and even though I already read the manga, I find this one exciting to watch and living up to its reputation.
I am now watching The Wallflower. After two episodes it hasn't quite clicked with me, but I'm hoping it will improve.
And I've bought my own copy of Fantastic Children off Ebay--I already want to rewatch the series.
If anyone wants to know what it's about, there's a group of mysterious white-haired children who get reborn about every fifty years, run away from their families and regroup, and then die around the age of twelve. A boy named Tohma trying to help a couple of friends run away from an orphanage finds his path crossing that of the mystery children. It's science fiction (not my usual favorite comedy) and occasionally seems a bit too heavy on the melodrama, though there's nothing else I'd criticise. It's exciting, tear-jerking in places, and weaves together the stories of a lot of different groups of characters brilliantly. Epic themes like life and death, military power struggles, identity, destiny, betrayal, redemption, yada, yada...
