Saturnine, don't go back to Canada, its a trap!

Wow, that really sucks. Makes me glad I live here, though now I have an urge to hide all of my animu pictures of questionable nature.

 

On another note, is it wrong if I already have certain ideas as to what manga they might have found on his laptop?

You know, it's kind of funny. I live fairly close to LA, but I've never actually gone to AX, ever. I've only ever gone for the LA Car Convention every few years or so.

The wife brought it up, but I'm happy just going to Legoland for a couple of days. The kids would be scared by the cosplay. They get scared by Chuck E Cheese, the OG furry.

Gurren Lagann is the bell curve of anime now. For me at least.

 

 

You might also like StarDriver. It's not as ridiculous or even as awesome but it captures some of the great things about Gurren Lagann and it's worth checking out.

 

On the subject of summer anime, who the hell said there was nothing good but Idolmaster?! There's Gintama, man! Gintama!

Summer anime season is... mostly... bad. Except for Idolmaster, which I'm watching purely based upon fanservice (which I expect it to be).

 

 

so yeah, another bummer season is not all too surprising... then again, Appleseed may be worth a watch...

 

MEANWHILE AT A.C.'s PLAYLIST

In order of importance/interest, top=High Interest Lower= Eh...

 

I'll also be catching up with what I missed last Season which is mainly Deadman Wonderland and Steins;Gate

I honestly don't know if I'll be watching all of these closely, mostly because they don't really seem worth the time, plus backlogs. I would also like to watch .hack//Quantum all over again, why? Because it's a love letter to the games and fuck everyone I liked the games.

 

Seeing all the love that Gurren Lagann is getting, did anyone watch the movies? First one was allright, and even though

Jorgun and Balenbow didn't die in a badass manner

in the second one HOLY BALLS did it reach new definitions of "epic".

Not sure how fit into the spectrum of anime fans. More than a few of my favorite series and films have been anime, so I can honestly say I'm a big fan, but I don't think I consume it at the rate most anime fans do. The fact that most of my free home time is spent gaming doesn't help either. I have a few series (Lain, and Soul Eater come to mind first) that I've begun and never finished, despite the fact that I was enjoying them a lot. That's a problem for me.

 

I think the last one I sat through straight was Paranoia Agent, which I absolutely loved. A terrible shame that Satoshi Kon passed on so young, a creative mind like that is terribly rare. The only other work of his I'm familiar with is Paprika, which I also enjoyed. I'll be working my way through the rest of his work slowly but surely. Bleach was the only manga/anime I had been keeping up with on a regular basis until early this year when the anime went into a shitty filler arc and the manga went into shitty canon that felt like filler. I caught up on it earlier this week, and it's still a pretty big letdown. It seems like Kubo is trying too hard to make Bleach longer than it needs to be. It's a shame, because the sheer number of characters and personal stories in the Bleach universe ensure that he could keep drawing from that well in a respectable fashion, tying up story lines and creating new ones. Instead it seems like Kubo is intent on heaping new elements onto the existing story line, trying to make this overarching story even more convoluted than it is. Whether it's overambitious or just greedy, I'm getting the feeling that the story is irreversibly tainted for it.

 

I have a little quest I'm on that someone here might be able to help me with. I've made a few AMVs before, and I'm readying myself to brave hair-yanking software frustration once more to make a new one. While I have roughly 4 videos fleshed out in my head that I'd like to make (some of them more of a challenge than I may be ready for from a technical standpoint), the song that got me feeling the itch this time is one that I don't have any actual anime in mind that is appropriate to use for it. It's weird, like this song is just demanding that I put it to video... Anyway, I'm looking for something that has a classic detective or cop & robber feel to it. A little searching found me looking at this list, of which I picked Lupin III (already the first possibility that popped into my head, despite never having watched it) and Monster as possibilities. Can anyone recommend any other anime that might bring that sort of aesthetic to the table? Even if it's a futuristic or fantasy take on it, it could be totally usable. Something like Death Note wouldn't cut it, as L looks as homeless as he looks like a detective... I guess this is a strange request, the more I think about it... Whatever, any advice anyone could offer would be appreciated.

Emmm, let's see.

 

Cowboy Bebop

 

....and that's all I can think of right now....oh wait! Detective Conan!

 

On another note, has anyone seen Tiger & Bunny yet? I've just watched the first episode but it seems to be a winner.

Hakidia's been bored and watched an assload of anime on netflix. He's looking for something along the lines of Claymore, Spice and Wolf, or Black Butler. So ya know any?

 

Along the lines of Claymore, I'd say Berserk, unless you've seen that already in which case I'd say Guin Saga. Spice and Wolf....I don't know, that was a pretty unique show in its own right and I haven't seen Black Butler so can't help there.

Watched 1st episode of Guin saga. Looks too generic fantasy for me and practically everyone comes off as annoying as hell to me. So first impression ammounts to I want everyone to die not a good start. Any who any fantasy or sci-fi animes that the characters aren't so overtly badass or annoying as fuck?
