masterofmidgetsFIND OF THE WEEK:
I was bumming around in the bookstore today, as you do, when my eye was caught by what is, quite possibly, the most incredibly awesome thing I have ever seen ever. BEHOLD:
Why, oh why, has no one ever told me such a thing existed before?! The level of crackitude here, the sheer WTFery, is simply mind-blowing. MANGA. SHAKESPEARE. HAMLET AS A WHITE-HAIRED BISHIE. IT IS SET IN 2170. WTF. FUTURISTIC SAMURAI MACBETH. WTF.
The truly awesome part is that, although they're abridged, the manga use pretty much the orginal text - it's actually Shakespeare, just instead of having boring old dialogue tags, they have spiky-haired manga versions of everyone running around. And there's a bunch of them, too - most of the major tragedies and a good few of the comedies, it looks like. I want to buy them soooooo baaaaaad. I don't know if I'm going to be able to stop myself.
This pretty much made my entire day. That and passing a Harry Potter and a Gandalf on my way to class. Why there were so many people cosplaying on campus today (and by so many I mean any at all WTF) I do not know, but I'm not protesting anything that makes my day that much more surreal. XD
