Dango, Dango, Dango~

I watched it all at once a little after it finished airing. I liked the music, I really liked the scenery, the pacing got a little lazy for my taste for a few too many episodes at a time. But it totally deserves more than the collective "Meh" it seems to have gotten. That being said, I'll probably have drowned it out of my mind completely within a few years, and I can't say I'm interested in seeing it twice.

I took a good "integrated arts and humanities" (bullshit category. Prof taught a class about the Age of Exploration with a particular hardon for the Portuguese) last semester and had to read a few articles on Brazilian race relations. Interesting stuff. They went for a "let's pump the bloodlines with as much white blood as possible" strategy as opposed to our supremacy methods.
