What I'm Watching On Hulu: Cluster Edge






My latest foray into Japanese Anime on Hulu: Cluster Edge.

The show revolves around "artificial soldiers" and what happens to them after the war they are created to fight is over.  I'm currently on episode 4 out of 23.

It's fairly interesting so far.

I do have to comment on the strange names Japanese animators come up with, though.  Naming characters after rocks and minerals?  (The main character is Agate.  Another is Beryl Jasper.)  I suppose those sound exotic to the Japanese audience, but it loses a little of its impact when dealing with English speaking viewers.

The show is currently only available with English subtitles.  No dubbing.
