And my insanity.

 

And my crazy! It ain't going anywhere that i can't follow. It's a union and it will never break! Like.. Satsuki and Nonon's bond!

Besides on the whole taste change thing.. i like the same things i did a few years ago and more so i'll continue down this track. Liking stuff is quite awesome, everyone should try it!

That's a hipster joke somewhere in there.

I just started watching this show called boogiepop phantom. It's pretty cool, actually. It has a lot of storylines that tie together, and the way it's set up is sort of like a monster of the week show mixed with some morality. It's like someone got some Serial Experiments Lain into my XxxHolic. It's pretty cool. Will update with my complete thoughts once I finish it at some point (I'm on episode 4 and takin' a break.)

You mean there are people who don't like stuff?

How can one not like stuff?

Stuff is so stuffy.

I hear women in particular don't like it stuffy.

 

Could be a stereotype though.

What a coincidence, so am I.
A demanding man-child child with refined tastes, but still... :P

Ah well sim, you're 18.
Your tastes will "mature" (I hate that word, let's just say chage) in time too, you'll see.

*sigh*
Here I go talking like I'm an old man. I'm only 33...why do I feel so old all of a sudden?

EDIT:
Come to think of it, I do have one LOTR calendar on my door







Does zombie Anders count?

While the designs are unique and memorable, I HATE Luffy. That grin. That horrible grin. Every time he smiles I want to punch out all his teeth. Just to make it stop.




I like my girls young, but not that young, thank you.

I don't see that as an ignorant standard. Character age doesn't matter as much as context does.
When young characters are sexualized and thrust into situation/scenes inappropriate for their age, that is where the problem is.
You can have an entire cast of little girls without problems (for example, Azumanga Daioh)


And yet instead of arguing that something is over sexualized or innoppropriate I have seen you dismiss shows by just commenting on how the cast is 90% young girls.

Technically Azumanga Daioh falls under the exact same criticism that you've dismissed other shows with (it's mostly just younger girls) maybe if it comes down to it being inappropriate to the context of a story that's what you should be saying?

Ahh...haste and lazyness... mortal enemies of clarity.

 

Indeed I should have formulated the sentence differently. Context and tone matter the most.

 

But it is true that I'm getting tired of an all-little-girl cast. There is no denying anime has an overabdundance of young characters (mostly female) and that those same characters are over-sexualized or put in rather inappropriate contexts with alarming frequency.

That's reasonable. I have a friend who's recommended a lot of shows that have mostly female casts and I admit it can get a bit old, especially when there's no in-story reason for it

When can we hope for you changing your avatar? Not particularly of high aesthetics. (frankly, it bothers me to a degree that I tend to avoid parts of the page... parts where you're on)

 

:P

JOJO LOOK! FLAMINGOS IN FLIGHT xD

 

Oh my god that was f*cking hilarious!

 

P.S episode 16 on Samurai Champloo, I suspect I would have been almost done if I didn't fall asleep for 3 hours (pulling all nighters is hard.)

Ah! How is Samurai Champloo? I came across it on Netflix and it looked fun, but haven't started watching yet.

A-f*cking-mazing! You can really tell that the director of Cowboy Bebop was behind it. Like Bebop it's an episodic adventure which really just focuses on the characters and their development. There is a 'main goal' but the focus is really on the cast. It has some great stories, HILARIOUS moments and goes into depth with themes like patriarchy. The animation for the fights is the best I've seen in an anime so far, and the dub is solid too with the three main protagonists having great VAs (Steve Blum included.) And no, don't worry, Steve Blum's character isn't a rehash of Spike Spiegel (even though he does act like him sometimes.) :D

Wait.... its directed by the director of Cowboy Bebop? :o

 

*adds to list*

 

Also, a rehash of Spike Spiegel would never be a bad thing :P

I would say just go for it the for the next anime you watch. I swear to the old gods and new that you will NOT regret that decision.

Mugen is nothing like Spike Spiegal. In fact, he's the opposite, but there's something about him despite how utterly apathetic he is towards anyone but himself. I think I prefer Jin, partly because he's voiced by Kirk Thornton, whose voice is always awesome, and also because he's quite likeable.

 

Also, why the heckle haven't you watched BACCANO, one of the greatest animes known to man, yet?

I said *sometimes* xD the way he's so nonchalant and carefree about situations mostly. But yeah, he's not Spike at all.

Is that directed at me? Because I got something to tell you...

Nah, it was directed towards the gentlemen above you. Was too lazy to quote him.

 

And yes, yes he does.

Thankfully my backlog of manga and anime is not too bad now, enough room to watch Breaking Bad and anime at the same time.
