many jovian invaders

Last night before I left for work, I sampled what for me is a new anime series called Martian Successor Nadesico.
The contrast between it and Witch Hunter Robin series that I just finished is amazing.  First of all, the overall tone of
Nadesico is much lighter than the grim almost noir element of Robin and from what I have read the Nadesico series is
a parody of almost every anime cliché possible.  I have yet to decide if this is a positive thing or a negative thing for
me, but I can see that what they say is very true.  One character seems to shout every single time that he speaks and
makes me adjust the volumeaccordingly.

Perhaps in an effort to bring some form of art back into my life, I have been watching these art history documentaries from Netflix.  Now I suppose to the average person the low production value pieces would come across as utterly boring, but I love hearing people talk about fine art in terms of history and process.  As with any art history discussion, the series moves in a chronological fashion highlighting different movements as they move along.  So far I have traversed time from the Renaissance to the period after Rococo that is know as the Revolution in this series.  Unlike earlier segments, this latest one did not hold any artists that are favorites of mine.  I may know the works of Thomas Gainsborough, William Hogarth and Jean-Antoine Watteau, but I cannot say that I would ever want to own any of their paintings.  Nor do I actively seek their work out when I visit a new museum.
