(e)Book – Love and friendship

  (e) Book –  Love and friendship Full title :  Love and friendship and other early works Author : Jane Austen Score : /10 Year : 1790 (original) ; 2012 (this edition) Publisher : Duke Classics   ISBN  978-1-62012-155-9  // 9781620121559  (ebook)  Pages :  Language: English Jane Austen is best known for her 6 novels, which all have been adapted into tv movies - but after having read Virginia Woolf's short fiction in chronological order, I decided to apply the same for Austen's publications, to better appreciate her growth and evolution in narrative style. So, before reading her novels which were released from 1811 to 1817, in the following order :  Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma,  Northanger Abbey, Persuasion, I decided to go back to her teenage years, reading Love and Friendships, and other early works.

We finished watching the series, at last... it's been a long trip, as I'd seen the first 4 episodes months ago, and due to their quality, had postponed until recently. Actually, until I bought the bluray boxset, including the entire show, in HD, and it's a marvel.

The show is beautifully drawn, is very often very funny, and each character has a story.

It revolves around bounty hunters, in space... that's all I'm gonna tell you (apart that it's an animated show).

Sometimes a little, and even a lot violent, but most of the bloody scenes are well done and not over the top, which I really appreciate.

The English dub is very good, the music's ok, the intro is a bit too loud for me, but we didn't play it every time so that was ok.

Overall, I give this a solid 8, possibly 9 (there are a few really wacky stories in there).

Next time, we'll watch it in the original Japanese, and check out the extra features.
