I don't appreciate kitten killers so much, dude. hock:

Not when we've got the angel responsible for all of the coolest fight scenes in either series to look up to!



And he's just as easy to eroticize...

[Gilgamesh]

The visuals in Dusk Maiden of Amnesia are still the best.

There was a time. There was a place. Annnnnd...I haven't watched any anime in a long time. Call me uncultured, but I haven't enjoyed it the same way I used to.

But what anime 'did' you watch?

I've seen a few, but nothing recently. Some of the more memorable were: Rurouni Kenshin, Trigun, Bastard!, Hellsing, and Ghost in the Shell. I know I delved into a few others after that, but they didn't leave as big an impression on me. I think Elfen Lied was the last one I actually sat down and watched all the way through. I would usually find the associated Manga, so I remember Rurouni Kenshin was much better than the animated show. The Samurai X prequels were...well...boring and depressing, even though the art style was cool.

I remember a lot of boring. Very soon they all became snooze fests, and my attention span became much different as I grew older. (Admittedly, I suppose I could never rightfully enjoy even one episode of Dragonball Z).

I dunno'. I prefer anime to american television any day. People think Dexter and Breaking Bad are deep? lel.

But yeah, Samurai X never again. Oh, god, the voice acting. Please, make it stop.

[Bad Writer]

Deep does not have to be a factor in a show that's interesting and entertaining. American tv realizes this and banks on it. I have to say there are many times where it's easier to get into an entertaining show than it is to fully understand all the moving parts in FLCL.

Also started watching a series called 'BTOOOM!'

I really like this one. It hits close to home for me.

Ryōta Sakamoto is an unemployed 22-year-old who lives with his mother. In the real world, there may be nothing really special about him, but online, he's one of the world's top players of the combat game called Btooom!. One day, he awakes in what appears to be a tropical island, though he has no memory of how or why he has come to be there. While wandering around, Ryōta sees someone and calls out for help. The stranger responds by throwing a bomb at him. Ryōta soon realizes both that his life is in danger and that he has somehow been trapped in a real-life version of his favorite game. In the game Ryota meets Himiko, who is another Btooom! gamer — and supposedly Ryota's in-game wife.

(It's not an Xbox game. This is the cover for vol 1 of the manga. Interesting idea for a cover)
