I'm assuming we don't often suggest the most obvious slice of life series like Lucky Star any more in these conversations.

I loved Gunsmith Cats, but since I've seen many of the locations it allegedly takes place in I can safely say that you would never just find stores lying around like the one you see in that series. As for not having seen Lucky Star, Tsuna, you probably should if you like that genre. Be prepared for numerous weird popular culture jokes, however.

Vashna I will... When I get time, you most likely have by now seen my backlog of series that I need to get through, let alone adding more on top of that ha... But because you have suggested it I'll fit it in somewhere

Name: pws_37
Age: Old. Main interest: Japanese culture, cool shows. Fanservice: Orion slave girls, green, of course. First anime: Haganai. Random choice off Hulu. What the heck is anime? I had no expectations whatsoever. The Remake I'd Make if I'd Make a Remake: Haganai, keeping its winning understated humor and replacing the immature silliness with Kodaka having drug induced existential hallucinations involving his fellow club members. A drug habit would replace his yellow hair. Actually, he acts a bit drugged in the series as it is, and that scandalous opening is just one of his psychotic breaks anyway, right? The ED animation has serious existential overtones, too. Maybe that's what they were doing all along. Second Anime I Liked: Is This a Zombie? Watched, but Really Hated at the End: Blood-C. Second What-the-Heck?: Maria Holic. Best use of multi media I've seen so far. I'd Most Like to Be Watching Right Now: Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei. Is anyone streaming this? Currently Watching: Stein's Gate--jury is out on this one. I can see possible appeal, but it is suffering from too much obviousness so far. Watched, Even Though No Good: Dog and Scissors (Yozora 15 years later). Thoroughly Enjoyed Despite the Flaws: first complete arc of Bleach. Incredibly violent so I stopped (talk about fanservice), but it had me hooked after the slow beginning was out of the way. Binge watch it if you haven't seen it. I'd never watch it with one episode a week. Actually, that's true for most anime I've seen. I Wonder What Might Have Been: Fruits Basket, the tension betweenspoiler[ sweetness and abuse] was played exquisitely for the first ten or so episodes, then the wheels came off. I read there was author-director/producer (?) disagreement that brought a sudden end to the series. Others I'll Mention: Deathnote (the shinigami was cool). Pet Girl of Sakurasou, Maid-sama, The Devil is a Part-Timer (glimpses of Japanese culture--myth or realilty, what other country would have such hard working teenagers?).

A big happy ANN welcome to pws_37, SirMakosObulox, The_Batosai, pb789123, rendy78f9b194, and Pacal II ! Hope you all are enjoying your time here. Pacal you get extra points for having Javik as your avatar heh. I figure you might like this...
As part of your welcome here you all also get a special gift. Brought off from retirement and the vault you all get a mystery grab bag of goodies. *hands them all a brown paper bag* Inside each of your bags await such wondrous treasures as a handful of teeth knocked out of random NHL hockey players, a ticket for a free palm reading from Madam Simza for the 1964 NY world fair, a 6x6 inch patch of dessert beige carpet, and the left over shells from a bag of pistachios. Such fine treasures. Enjoy them and your stay here and don't forget; Borrow money from pessimists, they don't expect it back. |
