I'm watching slam dunk

I can't really tell you why though. It's about japanese highschool basketball.

Me and my room mate were watching Speed Grapher. Still need to finish it.

I've seen a few episodes of that one. Didn't much care for it.

Yeah, it kind piddles around. And a bunch of the characters are gross.

It's still better than the generic stuff I saw before tho. That end theme is rivaling Spice and Wolf's on the annoyance factor.

It one of those "They do what with the what now." kinda Animes. I never finished it though, since IFC stopped showing it.

B E C K · « **Reply #1234 on:** May 14, 2011, 08:17:44 PM »

Truthfully, I only watch it when I'm bored and on Netflix streaming. So yeah, I've been getting bored. I think I'm up to seven or six or something.

Darker than Black is pretty bad ass.

Almost finished watching Princess Jellyfish on YouTube.

I watched FLCL last night.

I had not seen it before.

I am really fucking confused as to what the fuck I just saw.

That's why it's so readily rewatchable.

Fiero · « **Reply #1240 on:** May 16, 2011, 08:45:16 PM »

Well, I think I understood most of it ... I just ... I'm just not sure.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #1241 on:** May 16, 2011, 08:47:59 PM »

What part are you having problems with? The story's pretty straightforward...it's just not supposed to make much in the way of sense.

Fiero · « **Reply #1242 on:** May 16, 2011, 09:12:33 PM »

Exactly.

B E C K · « **Reply #1243 on:** May 16, 2011, 11:32:45 PM »

I recall liking the first half and then feeling it was all over the place later. Don't know if I'd feel the same way today, but that was my initial reaction. Finished Princess Jellyfish. It is spectacular. I want that shit on a dvd asap.

jonhammstein · « **Reply #1244 on:** May 16, 2011, 11:45:39 PM »

Everything that happens in FLCL is an allegory for the Jewish Holocaust in World War II.

Watch it again with that in mind and everything will make perfect sense.

Slam Dunk is cool because it used to play after Sailor Moon. I have some tapes that always end Sailor Moon episodes with the first few minutes of Slam Dunk.

Anyway... I wastched "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" the other day and it was pretty much fantastic.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #1246 on:** May 17, 2011, 08:45:12 PM »

I've been meaning to see that.

IDE · « **Reply #1247 on:** May 18, 2011, 02:43:44 PM »

Yeah I've been meaning to see that for a couple years now too.

Rama · « **Reply #1248 on:** May 20, 2011, 12:11:46 AM »

Still on Star Blazers. Since they only show it on Thursdays, it's gonna take me awhile to finish this show.

IDE · « **Reply #1249 on:** May 20, 2011, 09:26:28 PM »

Xmen kind of makes me laugh.

I love mad house but they don't know how to make westerners act. Like the mannerisms of the characters are weird.

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #1250 on:** May 20, 2011, 10:01:00 PM »

It's why I can't outright condemn the live-action Dragonball movie. They take our franchises and poop on them, well, turn-about is fair play.

It boils down to my not having forgiven them for that shitty Batman manga I bought one time.

I quit X-Men when Cyclops was riding a crotch rocket, speeding away from a helicopter, but then he does a 180, and the sides of the bike open up and all these missiles shoot out, destroying the helicopter.

Why the fuck would Cyclops need a vehicle that shoots missiles?

Also, from what I could tell his eye beam functions as a laser, what with the burning and the cutting and whatnot, which anyone who's ever followed X-Men knows is completely fucking wrong.

Speaking of Girl Who Leapt Through Time, I've had it sitting on my hard drive since last March. Is it better or worse than Summer Wars?

Maybe old action figures are their inspiration?

I like tiger and bunny. It's basically a world with mutants who fight crime on a television program for points (like they get points for capturing the criminals and saving people).

The plot isn't exactly super complex but at least the characters are natural.

Ao No Exorcist is fun.

IDE · « **Reply #1256 on:** May 25, 2011, 11:01:54 PM »

Ok so I started watching astarotte's toy. I didn't know the girl was 10.

The premise is that she's a succubus princess living in a magical realm. And succubus need to extract life seed from males to survive.

Since this one is only 10 she doesn't need to yet but whatever the point is this human male who has a daughter ends up as the first (and only member so far) of her harem.

Again I didn't know the girl was 10 when I started watching this and nothing Doug like has happened yet.

So the guy brought his daughter over and now its become a sort of slice of life school anime with the princess, the human daughter, and their moe blob friends from school.

Basically I was tricked into watching lucky star.

Eden of the Esat. I mostly like it so far.

Have that in Instant Queue but haven't gotten to it yet.
