Night Head Genesis epi 1--
I'm, sadly, pretty unimpressed with this show, thus far. The trailer looked highly promising, but the first episode didn't really hook me. I'll give it some more time, but for now. . . yeah, I'm just not floored by it.
Bogura Ga Ita epi 2--
I don't know why, but I'm really liking this show. The production values are obviously low, but-- still -- there something charming about it. I think the innocence and simplicity of it make it a sell for me, and Nana's n00bie seiyuu is really pulling out a nice performance. Plus, I am a sucker when it come to cute romance anime. Awwww. . . ^____^
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
