Ask about Anime

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Heh. I was confused throughout most of the show. I suggest that, when you finish watching episode 26 (make sure to watch past the credits on that episode), you watch the whole season again.

Trigun is my fav anime i am looking for another anime to get into what would you rather?

I like the concept of shooting very good like vash can.
And you should try Rouni Kenshin manga.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

I don't really like Rurouni Kenshin. I suggest L/R, but I've only seen one episode of that. I guess Cowboy Bebop would be good, too.

Oh, and one more thing:

I'm going to the AnimeNEXT Convention!!!!
I'll be there on Saturday, June 19th. It's already too late to pre-register, but it's only $30 for admission on Saturday. I'll be dressed as Naota Nandaba, the main character from Furi Kuri.

AnimeNEXT home

Reference images for Naota (scroll down to the first purple box.)

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Oh, I also purchased two Furi Kuri action figures. Images of both can be found here.

Cowboy Bebop is now my favorite Anime series of all time.

I am feeling a void because I have finished the last episode (Wow) over the weekend.

Are there more Bebops coming? (I already seen the movie). Is the director going to create another Bebop series.

Please say it is so!

I don't know. I don't really like those fighting animes that much. I'm more into the shôjo stuff.

(shô•jo (sho'jo) n. 1. Manga appealing to both female and male readers. 2. Exciting stories with true-to-life characters and the thrill of exotic locales. 3. Connecting the heart and mind through real human relationships.)

I finally saw Kill Bill, vol 1. Why did they put the anime in there? Was it to save money on the overall film? ~thumbs down~

I'll bet you thought that was cool, you animie promoting....kid!

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Never saw Kill Bill. Didn't ever really want to see it.

[Vinny]

you know Paul, you're a pretty bad guru for this thread ...

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Well, how was I to know that Kill Bill had any anime in it? And, for the record, I never said that I was a guru for all anime. I really don't think any one person can be.

[Vinny]

You can at least put some effort into learning about the things you don't know about! Sheeesh! Something like, "hmmm ... I don't know the answer to that question, but I'll watch the movie/look up the answer for you! You lazy peice of turd!" Or you can at least make up answers and speculate, like

"I believe that Taratino put in the Anime section to the movie Kill Bill! simply because he's a weird and eccentric film maker, always trying to push the envelope. Either that or he's a lazy piece of turd. But don't hold me to that."

"Cowboy bebops might or might not have another series coming out. I can safely say that the director was certainly going to or not going to make a sequel or a spinoff from the original series. This I can be sure about."

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

[Antrax]

CTB: The reason there's anime in Kill Bill, Vol. 1, is that Quentin Tarrantino takes a lot of drugs. I've attempted to watch the movie while intoxicated, myself, to see if the artistic parts make more sense. They don't. He's just high all the time and does what looks cool to him.
It does work, though, IMO

Hey, last I checked, this thread isn't title "Ask about Tall Buildings"!

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Hey, stop changing the subject. Whether the title references buildings or not has no effect on our argument.

Uhh... What was our argument again?

[chief ten beers]

~pelts I_8hate with rocks and garbage~

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

*sigh of relief* At least you didn't pelt me.

*feels sorry for I_8hate, whoever he/she is*

[chief ten beers]

I spelled it wrong. ~goes back to edit post so that all rocks and garbage might be hurled at the appropriate person~

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

I guess he forgot. >_<

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

I just finished watching Serial Expiriments Lain. Only one word can describe it.

WOW.

That is one of the top three anime shows that I've ever seen, easily surpassing NGE. I suggest that everyone who reads this post go watch all 13 episodes, and then go tell one or two or two hundred sixteen friends about how great it is.

[casinopete]

aye. 'tis my fave, as well.

[One Skunk Todd]

I picked up the first 5 DVDs for Trigun yesterday. Haven't started watching it yet but I'll let people know what I think after I do.

[Mercuria]

5 dvs? why didn't you just get a box set?

[One Skunk Todd]

They didn't have the box set and the individual ones were on sale.

www.cookiejarvideo.com and www.animediscount.net (cjv is more reliable, though)

oh yeah and trigun is pretty cool. one of my friends says it's sort of like this part in the bible - the first half is "who is vash?" and the second half is "what does it mean to be vash?"

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got back from the AnimeNEXT Convention in New Jersey. I went as Naota Nandaba from FLCL, and ran into a Mamimi and a Haruko. I took about 15 or so pictures (which I will post at a later date), and I got a lot of new anime: L/R (discs 1-4), Someday's Dreamers (discs 1-3), and .hack//sign (discs 1-3, 5, 6).

That is all for now, as I'm kinda tired and I have a killer headache.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

PICS! WEEEEE!!!


Rabbi Moishe Molfowitz


Haruko Haruhara


Mamimi and Naota


The long line for the dealers room


Anime Name That Tune, where I realized that I need to watch a lot more Anime!!!

I saw a couple episodes of some really really really really weird anime thingy. It was called Boogiepop. It had a dark sort of atmosphere. Really really bizarre. Anyone want to explain wtf was going on? I can't even begin to describe it.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

I think you mean Boogiepop Phantom (or Boogiepop Wa Warawanai). Is this description correct?

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

Edited the thread starter.

I've been plowing through .hack//sign kinda fast. I really like it. I'm also watching Initial D, which I'm borrowing from my friend. I have to wait for him to buy disc 2, though. I've also read through all of MegaTokyo (www.megatokyo.com), and I find it to be a really good online comic. Make sure to skip over the stick figure days.

yeah .hack is good...i saw a few episodes of .hack//udeden too, but it's weird...and ditto on megatokyo, very good, skip the stick figures

[One Skunk Todd]

Just finished RahXephon. I quite enjoyed it except for the very end. Also would now recommend Trigun and if you want some treacly stuff, Galaxy Angels. I just started on Tenchi Muyo which seems like great fun. Even my wife wants to watch it with me after walking by and catching some of the nudie scenes.

[i_h8_evil_stuff]

I've started watching Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Lupin the 3rd whenever I can stay up that late. They all seem to be good shows.

*twitch*

The RahXephon movie KICKS A$$!!! Kinda confusing throughout most of the movie, but I understand most of it. (Hey, kinda like the series.) Some of it is repetative, but it's worth it.
