Anyway. The last anime I watched was Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. That kind of managed to kill my interest in anime though, since I was left with a feeling of “can anything really top this?”

All I know about Gurren Lagann is that these otaku friends of mine are obsessed with Simoncest which is Simon ****ing his older self (one of this even draws it excessively). And that it’s incredible material for yaoi pairings. They told me to watch it, but that had already killed my interest in it. Is it really that good?

Also, I’m extremely fangirl excited about the upcoming Trigun movie!! I hope they don’t blow it Log in to see images!

dothack series are pretty cool too, the ones I’ve seen at least.

But I’ll put it in the same category as naruto.. guilty pleasure category.

Well if you dig into the “serious” stuff they are actually just random ideas put together and doesn’t really make much sense in the larger scale. It doesn’t even have a clear storyline. Lots of things are left unexplained, then ending was an open-ending. Actually maybe that’s what modern art is like.

The seriousness is mostly related to the development of the characters themselves. Particularly Naota’s continues attempts at trying to move out from the shadow of his older brother.

Just as an example, look at the underlying plot of the first episode. After Naota’s brother left, Mamimi was expecting him to come back to her at some time. In the meantime, she was trying to use Naota as a sort of a substitute. Naota’s caught in the middle of this, since his brother sends him a letter which includes details of his new American girlfriend. Which, naturally, means that it’s up to Naota to break that news to Mamimi. But that doesn’t work out because of robots randomly popping out of his head and causing silliness all over.

You just have to look out for all those little bits of subtlety.

That is some really disturbing mental imagery. I suggest trying to scrub it from your mind before watching it. Because, yes, I do think it’s really that good.

Ah, yes, liked Ghost in the Shell and the few existing ep’s of Ah! My Goddess. I also need to go back YuYu Hakusho. One of the few lengthy series I was not able to keep up with.

Also liked Voltes V and Astro Boy. Shows my age. lolz

just finished Gundam 00 (both season 1 and 2)

I felt bad trying to keep up with this ****. The older gundam (I mean the really old ones like the U.C. saga back from 1979-1991) are way better than this!

that’s it! I’m watching gundam Z again!

Ghost in the Shell is amazing, as is Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Shamploo. Twilight of the male reproductive organroaches is half anime and half live action, one great movie. The first Vampire Hunter D was a great film, haven’t seen the sequels. Spirited Away, while being nominally for children, is still pretty good. I seem to remember both Appleseed and Bubblegum Crisis as being entertaining, but I haven’t seen those since the I was a teenager. Paranoia Agent is very strange and somewhat hard to follow, but worth the effort.

I’m watching Monster now, p good series Log in to see images!
