Random Musings - H2O Rocks Your Soul December 23
This is a few days old, so some of you may have already seen this, but this video was so hilarious that I can’t not blog about it. H2O ~FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND~ is a new series coming out in January about a (blind) boy who has lost his mother and moves to her hometown to recuperate. It looks like an interesting series, and as I was writing up my Winter 2008 preview, I saw the PV. If I could give out an award for the most unintentionally funny promotion video ever, this series would get it. I was laughing for a good five straight minutes when the narrator suddenly started spouting random phrases designed to make the series sound exciting. I don’t know why they decided to have the trailer in English, but it certainly made my day. H2O Rocks Your Soul!

The promo certainly made my day with the “Rocks Your Soul!” comment at the end

@Sage
Agree. It was rather annoying having to listen two languages at the same time.

Oh wow.
The VA must’ve figured that Japanese audience wouldn’t understand it so he put it in a comedic inflection.
I think it’s awesome.

The girl seifuku looks seductive. I like black uniform but why animation looks so 90ish? Or was that from game?

Its a pity how the guy is blind and yet he gets himself into those deliciously fanservicey scenes…Meh, i pray for his eyes.

I saw this on Tenka Seiha earlier in the week. The trailer definitely makes H20 look like the best anime of 2008.
