Weeaboo Wednesday

Hey, do you remember

that song that went well with the glow of the sunset?

You always fell silent

and sadly sang it to yourself

Now, time passes,

and that melody is stained in sepia, oh!

We can never go back, oh, friends

You seem farther away than a stranger

We were always running, oh, friends

I loved that look in your eyes

Where did we fall apart, oh, friends?

On days when I hung my head we gazed at each other

And when we linked fingers, oh, friends

I felt as if time had stopped

Between Dance in the Vampire Bund and Arakawa Under the Bridge my bittersweet-romance meter is pretty high lately. DitVB has a lot (A LOT) of fanservice (in MANY forms), but the voice actress who plays Mina Tepes has some MAD skills, and it's got a strong story. Also, Mina Tepes could eat your face off (my team).

AUtB is quirky and sweet -- but also more subtle & harder to define. I'd try to review it, but I think I need to see more episodes first. I like its treatment of outcasts so far, though -- it's a very accepting atmosphere, and the entire river setting is incredibly peaceful.
