08.18.10 | Fast forward to 1998
I smash more herb than those old day's
With a whole J to the face
Nah, I'm still feelin' gettin' drunk more than weed
But now we back in Amster-D, got some grams for me |
robertsona
08.18.10 | this show is fun to chill out to and watch--love shows like that |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | For sure. The plot isn't overly attention demanding |
AngelofDeath
08.18.10 | I agree; the show is quite awesome. Haven't seen much anime outside of what's gotten U.S. airplay though, so I doubt I can rec you anything you haven't seen. |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | :[ That's unfortunate. Most quality animuus don't make it over to the US, apart from the obvious classics like Gundam Wing, DBZ, Neon Genesis Evangelion. You should try watching anime with subtitles, usually the english voice overs are lolbad. |
robertsona
08.18.10 | ever seen monster? you could say it's basically the complete fucking opposite of samurai champloo in that it rewards close attention and attention to a fucking shitload of characters, lmao. it's one of my favorites. i think if you like the show 'the wire' you'll like it; they're not necessarily plot-wise or thematically similar but their way of introducing a bunch of different interweaving characters and plotlines is similar, to me. |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | I'm unfamiliar with the show "the wire", but I will watch Monster. I've seen the wiki page but I never got around to viewing it. Any other good anime you like Rob? Glad to see people aren't posting shit like Naruto or Bleach |
robertsona
08.18.10 | i honestly dont watch very much anime but monster got me so hooked that i couldnt stop until i got to the end (it's pretty damn long, haha). my brothers are much more into that stuff; i'll post something else if it pops into my head.
the wire is also a suggested watch but once again takes a bit of time to watch (1 hour per episode, 13 episodes per season, 5 seasons, yeah (although really you can just watch one season)). but that's an american show, has nothing to do with anime--it's frequently cited as one of, if not the greatest show ever (off the top of my head, the fourth season got a 98 on metacritic). |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | I can dig. I don't watch too much either as of late, just patches here and there. But you should check out the show Neon Genesis Evangelion, I'd honestly say it's some of my favorite pieces of art ever. |
robertsona
08.18.10 | oh ive seen evangelion haha. i mean ive seen most of the "obvious" ones like dbz and stuff like that but i havent expanded much outside that, with the exception of monster
i hear cowboy bebop is a classic |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | Oh okay. For some reason I misunderstood you to think that you haven't seen much apart from Monster c:
Edit: And yeah, Bebop is damn good. Crazy artwork too |
cinaedus
08.18.10 | rurouni kenshin rules face |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | Kenshin is the shit. Finished reading the manga series not too long ago |
cinaedus
08.18.10 | i'm only up to volume 5, how many are there?? |
iswimfast
08.18.10 | INYUYASHA lol |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | @Lakes: there are a total of 28 volumes
@Swim: lol fuck you |
Schizophrenik
08.18.10 | The only anime I ever really got into was Full Metal Alchemist, but i guess you've probably seen that. |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | Full Metal is one of the better of the big 4 (Naruto, Bleach, FMA, Inuyasha), but yeah I have seen it. You should check out Neon Genesis Evangelion, it'll blow your mind ;) |
Schizophrenik
08.18.10 | I've never heard of that, but it sounds interesting based on the name. I'll have to check it out when I have the time |
cinaedus
08.18.10 | Hikaru No Go is a really underrated anime |
Psilocyanide
08.18.10 | Naruto! |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | I read up on the plot for Hikaru No Go a while back and wasn't intrigued. Perhaps I'll revisit |
cinaedus
08.18.10 | It's kind of a stupid premise but honestly it's pulled off pretty well |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | What other anime do you like? If you have an acceptable taste I will watch Hikaru |
robertsona
08.18.10 | hikaru no go i used to like at a very young age. i'm sure if i read it now i'd find it very stupid |
cinaedus
08.18.10 | Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, Rurouni Kenshin (only seen a few episodes).
oh and don't watch the english dub of hikaru it sucks |
ThirtySixChambers
08.18.10 | Are those the only three? And I don't watch any dubs, they're god awful :P |
robertsona
08.18.10 | inuyasha? no. fma gets progressively better (the new one isnt as good iirc; the old one is what im talking about); it starts kinda eh but gets REALLY good by the end |
cinaedus
08.19.10 | lol yeah i don't watch much anime tbh |
Dryden
08.19.10 | dont watch any at all |
ThirtySixChambers
08.19.10 | Anime is for fags |
ShinXetsu
08.19.10 | Check out Cowboy Bebop, Hajime No Ippo, and Full Metal Alchemist : Brotherhood. I'd recommend the first FMA series but the plot wanks around too much in the middle and the ending makes you feel that you've completely wasted your time because of the inexcusable plot holes it leaves behind along with no sense of closure. |
ShinXetsu
08.19.10 | oops double post |
Ovrot
08.19.10 | Hirogashi.
Nuff said |
Ovrot
08.19.10 | Yes. |

I've seen those all, but gracias.

08.19.10 | "Hirogashi, Nuff said"
Higurashi was okay. It had its moments. |
Ovrot
08.19.10 | I too, also suggest Monster.
Also, if you like epic try Gurren Lagenn. |
ThirtySixChambers
08.19.10 | Yeah I'll probably watch it after I finish rewatching Champloo. Gurren Lagann was good. |
ShinXetsu
08.19.10 | Well there's also Berserk, Eureka Seven, and Great Teacher Onizuka. |
Ovrot
08.19.10 | Fire The Anti-Probablity Missiles!! |
MUNGOLOID
08.19.10 | awesome anime. will probably buy it on blu-ray eventually. |
Mordecai.
08.19.10 | yeah great show. love the hot bitches. |
NOTINTHEFACE
08.19.10 | That show rules. I sincerely hope you've seen Gungrave. I've watched it three times and i still hold that it's the greatest show ever made, Firefly notwithstanding. |
ThirtySixChambers
08.19.10 | "Well there's also Berserk, Eureka Seven, and Great Teacher Onizuka."
Berserk is really good, Eureka Seven is okay, and Great Teacher Onizuka I've been meaning to watch cause I've heard amazing things about it.
"Fire The Anti-Probablity Missiles!!"
Dunno what that is but I'll check it out.
"That show rules. I sincerely hope you've seen Gungrave. I've watched it three times and i still hold that it's the greatest show ever made, Firefly notwithstanding."
I remember reading the wiki page for that, will add to the list. |
Ovrot
08.19.10 | Its from Gurren Lagann.
At the end of the series, when there in space and dimensions start to fuck up and gravity rapes people. |
ThirtySixChambers
08.19.10 | Oh yeah, the ending was epic.
Anyone have more recs? |
MUNGOLOID
08.20.10 | if you're into animated heads blowing up and hentai sex scenes, check out Kite. |
