Anime Night: The Daughter of Twenty Faces

Part of why I didn't make a real post last week was that I really didn't expect the showing to be any good and figured everyone's time would be better spent checking out a show I already thought was cool. Turns out Macross Frontier was actually decent, so I'll try not to be prejudiced against giant robots in the future. So if you've already watched a couple episodes of Soul Eater you can find torrents for MF here at animesuki.

On to tonight's showing... which has so many alternate titles I'll just call it The Daughter of Twenty Faces. Here's the synopsis from anime-source:
"Chiko, a girl living with her Aunt and Uncle after her parents untimely death, suspects she is slowly being poisoned by them, in order for them to inherit her parents wealth. Her only joy in life, is reading about the escapades of a Master Thief known as 20 Face. A thief who one day comes to her home to steal a famed Ruby. He takes the Ruby, but also takes Chiko at her request... The only truly valuable thing in the house."
Same bat-time 7:00pm, same bat-channel 2040 VLSB. For those not in attendance, search for the title "Nijuu Mensou no Musume" at the anime-source release search.

Well the show was decent. It was like a new version of Lupin except Lupin has a decent size team of co-conspirators and a little girl to help him steal shit. We only saw 3 eps though so I'm not sure how good it was. My initial reaction is 7.8 outta 10. I wouldn't mind seeing more.
