I’m sure you won’t regret it, Laura! And yeah, I think I definitely need to be in the right mood to watch anime too. Quite often at the weekends, especially on Fri/Sat, I’ll opt for live action movies over anime just because I feel like watching something that’s more immediately ‘realistic’ and self contained.

(It’s annoying how typos like these seem to fall through the cracks, I re-read my posts a lot (as I’m writing them and as they are being published,) yet it still seems I have a blind spot for certain words/phrases. I guess I need a proof reader or something?! (BTW, if anyone wants to help me with that, I’d be delighted if you would drop me a mail at bateszii@gmail.com!))

Trapeze makes me want to see Mind Game more than ever! I might watch it tonight, even. Having not seen it already is getting more embarrassing by the day!

I’ve been keeping away from anime for some time now. It seems that in order to watch anime correctly you have to be in good spirits and unpressed by deadlines and various anxietys, but it’s also true, for me at least, that after every cycle of repression the hunger always emerges and, after seeing these eye candy screen shots with the “Bateszi approved” seal I think I might just found the thing to jump start my late autumn anime watching frenzy. I’m dowloading the episodes right now. I have a hunch it’s gonna be a great ride. Thanks B !

At the beginning of the fifth paragraph I think you meant glance. Considering the M&M’s “glace” works too I guess
Anyway, I’m proud to announce I’m one of those 4 people on your MAL friends list that are actually watching Trapeze. This show is brilliant if you like to watch anime oh so very different from what the mainstream offers. I love the overall design made by a drunken clown, reminds me a bit of Mind Game – same technique with live actors and same unpredictability. I expected no less from the team that previously created the equally brilliant Mononoke. Characters are very likeable and funny (Irabu’s laughter when he’s wearing that bear mask gets me every time) and they feel “real” – flawed, with realistic problems and can surprise with sudden development. Best show of the season if not of the year.

Likewise mima, it’s always nice to hear from another that’s enjoying Trapeze, we’re an endangered species after all!

Thanks! So you were the one using the google reader! I was wondering who on earth would subscribe to my little blog.

Nice to see someone blogging about this! The visual style took two watches of the first ep to grow on me, and now I can’t get enough. It looks homemade and is not ashamed of it.

I am also finding it to be genuinely funny, which is rare amongst anime for me… and the music is great, especially the BGM playing when Mayumi appears for the shot of the week.
