Hi all! Thanks to those of you who joined us for the livestream! It was super fun! If you missed it I've got two ways you can watch it to catch up.

I saved the recording of the livestream on http://www.livestream.com/gcsmgroup so you can view it there.

But you can always watch it on Seramyuantics.net! http://seramyuantics.net/video/video-ldj.htm

We watched until 1:18:30, so just watch that much and you'll be caught up. Next week is part 2 of Last Dracul Jyokyoku!


And on to the discussion!

What did guys think?

I'm really enjoying it so far! The Manechas were hilarious!! They were really random and silly. I enjoyed them a lot.

Dracul is hot. *drools*

Anyway, discussion on!

The most appropriate romanization is actually "Mannetjes".
I love Death Pii and Super Lady no Paa XD Where Death Pii just crawls around the stage screaming for no real reason.

I adore this musical, its largest problem is there's something funky with the audio. Everyone is singing alot louder than the music.

Kazuko Ono is AMAZING at singing! Definitely on-par with Keiko Hanayama!

I'm so sad I missed this...

Great cliffhanger to finish off I think, Ami screaming and Death Lamia coming to bite her! Ahh so excited for next time

Also, Solar Miracle Make Up has been stuck in my head ALL day!

Lamia is SUCH a deep character, I absolutely love how original and fresh her personality is. She wants to be human, yet shes addicted to the blood of young men, yet she finds modern men to have filthy blood and she knows that she can't be human again so she pretends to forget all her memories! As well as her relationships with both Tomoe and Dracul. Its none of this "oh i am totally loyal" business that we get with the anime business. Its more realistic, she's working with them to fit her own agenda but the cracks in how much she detests Tomoe are beginning to show... That's probably my favourite part of this musical, a good real character not to mention Kazuko Ono is a wonderful singer and actress.
