I am really liking the show. Almost enough to get the collected DVDs, if they aren't too expensive. Being anime, however, it'll probably be 30 bucks a whack for three episodes each disk.

Some great RP possibilities, too. It'd be cool to see a RPG treatment.

I agree. The whole voice over bit might seem like too much camp for some, but it gave it a noir detective vibe I still dig.

I like doing the setting thing, where the house is candle lit (have to be very familiar with your characters or use very dark bold ink) and the decor is conducive to it all.
