HI.
Maybe you've heard of a company called "Odd Job". They sell eccess
merchandise at discount price, not unlike a dollar store, only everything
in not nessessarily a dollar.
One of these, if not the only one, opened a walking distance from my
house, so I walked in one day.
As luck would have it I struck gold...er... anime!
A while back, a season of a Japanimation "Pinocchio" was shown on HBO.
Nine of the episodes were collected on three video cassettes and sold by
Saban video.
It sucked. Natually, "Odd Job" picked up the tapes and sold them for a
ludicrous price of eighty-eight cents!
Now, granted, the show is aweful, but I like it. The music is cheesy,
the animation is bad and the tracking a mess in places; but you can't
beet the price! Despite its drawbacks, I love this series. It captures
the true spirit of "Pinocchio"; the story of a wooden boy who gets into
trouble because he is VERY naive and VERY stupid! Plus, I love the
thrill of getting anime for $0.88!!!
If anybody out there knows what I'm talking about, please drop me a line.
Thanks,
HAYES
Hey, maybe someone will write a "Pinocchio" fanfic!
