Paranoia Agent.

It is infinitely better than Hellsing.

I'll take your word for it.

Thank you very much.

PS: If I ever get really into anime I might one day join.

so i just finished one called Mahou Shoujotai (Magic Girl Squad).

its about a human girl that winds up in a magical dimension where meets two apprentice witches that get caught in her adventure. she learns magic, causes havoc, and saves the day.

While it was on the fruity side, it got pretty bad ass. the main characters were fun. basic save the world kinda plot but with enough twists to keep it interesting. gorgeous animation too.

its really easy to watch too. 26 episodes all under 10 minutes. its definitely worth watching if your ok with a little girly childishness.

Anyone pleased with the Spring Anime lineup?

A lot of childish shows and such, but some good ones like Frontier and the continuation to Code Geass are something to look forward too.

Stop there.

I am extremely eager to see Frontier, and if it sucks, I will cry.

I have my Spring 2008 "plan to watch" list ready.

Oh, God! You have no idea how much you just pissed me off.

Do you hate Kyon-ko? How is that possible?

So I decided to take a go at getting of of them there Visual Novels I've heard about.

I acquired Tsukihime, due to my inherent love of vampires, and finished two of the five heroine's stories (Arcueid (what a name!), and Akiha).

It was basically just stupid fun, with some pretty silly and unbelievable plot points. However, I was not playing for realism, and thus I did not much care about the lack of it.

The graphics were a bit lacking, and since it only used about 5 different poses for each heroine which got cycled around, that was pretty noticeable. But who cares?

I felt that the hentai parts of the game really added nothing to the overall plots.

Also, I might check out the anime if I care to (god, you can say that about pretty much anything from any entertainment media that comes out of Japan).

Bleach is oure ownage no doubt

Dropped by to say War of the Words is the best Champloo episode ever.

Let's just say that all of the episodes of Champloo were great episodes.

Especially the last 2 episodes. Tight as it can be indeed.

I think you mean, three. The last three episodes were a three part thing.

I really thought that the first episode was the best one.

It just didn't manage to live up to the expectations that that episode gave me.

Of course, a great one.

Well you need to set your expectations lower. ANIME DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS.

Well okay it's not the best of all time, but it's the best samurai one i think.

It was pretty good.

It wasn't great.

Well, why not? I just wish it wasn't so short. I'm getting through it a little too quickly.(it's...... a little addicting.)

Just a general "it wasn't great".

There's no particular part of it which is weighing it down.

Just that it didn't get that high in the first place.

I currently can't decide whether I should play Fate/Stay Night, or forgo that and watch the anime.

I have a grudge against Samurai Champloo because it inspired The Boondocks guy, and that show is ten thousand kinds of awful.

I've only seen one episode of it, and a couple of clips otherwise, and I have to say that I did enjoy that much.

What is it that makes it 'ten thousand kinds of awful'?

Get the fuck out, now.

Boondocks is one of the few North American animated series that combines both good writing and good animation.

Listen to Gendo and Kuro. Boondocks is awesome. I love the Xbox killer episode where Samuel L. Jackson's character was spewing lines from Pulp Fiction. I thought Stinkmeaner's Revenge was really awesome also. "

Doctor: "Sir, I'm sorry, but you're blind for life."
Stinkmeaner: "At least I don't have to look at your ugly ass anymore."

I got volumes 2 and 3 of Ninja Nonsense, but I haven't watched them yet. been busy. I think I should go get some painkillers right now.

I saw the TV series. I thought it was okay.

what? no. That show is hilarious.

Gendo, you didn't answer my question.

Do you I see Kyon-ko, Haruki, Itsuko, and Mitsuru in your sig?

No, you're fucking stupid, Eric.

Totally different characters.

FOR SERIOUS

Finished Champloo, abrupt ending wasn't good of course but yeah, great series overall.

Time to track down the manga.

That's the sad part of really good animes, most of them have shit endings that either quickly resolve the plot or leave it "open" to our imagination.(In this case open means too goddamn lazy to tie up any major plot points) There is an exception to the plot rule however. Most short animes tend to have great endings, barring some exceptions.

Anyways, today was amazing. I was in NYC visiting my grandmother, and when I go to get food who do I see munching on tuna roll? SEAN FUCKING CONNERY. This man is one of my ideals, I love the bond films so much. Anyways, a woman passing by him did a double take and said "I love you" after he held the door open for her. Oh, and I also managed to buy a Banana striped headband from a cloth vendor outside the food place. All in all, a pretty awesome day.

Fate/Stay Night is good, but...

I really can't stand the main character's constant sexism.

Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make.

I find Code Geass to be fucking incredible.

I now prepare for knives to be run through me.
