[adult swim] and the quality of computer porn

[bonesquad]

Just a reminder there will be a new episode of ATHF this Sunday at 12:15 a.m Eastern!


I think it's just one new ep which is fine since I have enough to watch with FMA, Champloo, GitS, and Boondocks...

I still kind of like FMA, but it's no Champloo which may be my second favorite anime after Beebop. I really like GitS2 too. I wasn't so sure at first, but Section 9 is back! Boondocks is good, but damn, it can get waaay to preachy at times. Oh well. Any show that steals Champloo's opening is worth watching.

[Hybrid]

Now that the "Laughing Man" fansubber has finished all 26 episodes of 2nd gig (and because I ran out of one piece) I will be starting that tomorrow. It should hopefully be just a couple weeks to watch the whole thing.

Of course you'd like Champloo and Bebop as they are the most western animes ever conceived. On a side note, I'd say Champloo is in my top 3 and bebop...maybe 5.

[bonesquad]

West side! Can we help it if the West owns all?!

I can't say I like Champloo more than Bebop, but mainly because I haven't finished it yet. And well, I really haven't watched that many other series. (I'm not a fool since most anime sucks.) Trigun was pretty good, better than FMA, but certainly not better than any of those others I listed. FLCL was good, but that's mainly based on its sweet soundtrack. But it's up there. Robin was decent, I guess. That wolf one just pissed me off even though I watched it all for some reason (much like how I somehow played through BK...). I couldn't watch more than 2-3 eps of Neon or Scryed. And that one ep of Inuyasha was painful. I could never quite get into that book one even though it didn't seem too bad.

So in short, giant robots suck.

[Hybrid]

Robin was NOT decent, though I only saw the first half. Now if the second half was a amazing, then i guess on average the series is OK.

I watched all of Wolf because I just really wanted to know what the hell paradise was. Turns out everything just went back to normal in the end...yippee. Also the art was good.

S-cry-ed is great and very unique. I own it on dvd now so I'll probably rewatch it in Japanese because my god the english voices sucked.

Spike as Mugen = completely different character

Neon is great if you like whiny babies. At times the animation is amazing but overall it's pretty overrated despite being really good.

Dude, seriously, squidbillies is the funnist toon now

It seems AS has mixed up their lineup yet again. All I know (and care) is that Champloo is now on Thursday. The same day Earl and Office have moved to on NBC...

But enough of that useless info. I was checking out my ATHF vol 4 DVD I recently got for some reason and it has their funniest moment yet. I don't know if they're the first to do it, but when you don't expect it, it's one of the funniest things you'll ever see...

Spoiler:

You know how most TV DVD sets have that play all option? Well on ATHF4 they mean it. Play all... at once! The screen is split into 13 boxes playing all 13 episodes simataneously. The DVD is worth it for this alone...

Though I was hoping the hilarious Meatwad/Brak Pulp Fiction recreation was on here. On well.

I thought your spoiler was going to be about the "Play none" button

Some new AS news... including some HUGE and SWEET news!

[Hybrid]

Seriously, Ive never heard of those 2 animes. Well the name GunXSword sounds familiar but I've never seen it, unless it's a name change. I wouldn't be surprised if Bleach eventually comes to Adult Swim. Hell, a new company should start over with One Piece and bring it to Adult Swim as it clearly deals with way too many "mature" situations and is chock full of blood. Christ, 4Kids cut out an entire arc!

It's nice to see Stroker and Hoop cancelled. That animation makes me want to vomit as it IS vomit and the animators vomit on it while they are making it, which in turn gets vomit all over the equipment.

[bonesquad]

Are there any giant robots in any of those? If so... pass. Are there any animes that one might say are similar to Bebop or Champloo? If so... tell me!


And on the better news front, May 30th Venture Bros will be released on DVD! Sweet! The entire first season plus the pilot and that Christmas special, and deleted scenes!

Also, it starting March 27, AS will launch AS Fix where at any given time (not just Fridays) they will have select AS shows available to watch on their website. Nice.

[bonesquad]

So they "aired" online the final ep of Champloo... good stuff. Good animation, great soundtrack, interesting story with well fleshed out characters. If all anime was that good, I might actually be a fan. But alas.

Now it's wait till May for something to watch on AS (well, Boondocks is pretty good). I gave up on Full Metal awhile ago. Everything else is in reruns, sucks, or has giant robots and 43 year old men googling big breasted 13 year old girls... Maybe I'll try picking up GitS2 again.

[Hybrid]

43? Usually they're much older? What show exactly has these men using everyone's favorite search engine for child pornography? How could you give up on full metal? Yeah I guess having to sit through those voices might make me give up too.

[Conan]

I want fucking Robotech back on goddamnit.

[bonesquad]

53? I dunno. I just picked a random number. I got my point across.

And it wasn't the voices in FMA. I just got tired of sitting through boring ass episodes. There would be a great ep, and then 2 that just dragged on going nowhere. The series would of been better if they crammed it into 26 episodes. Not to mention the lack of a good soundtrack... I'll probably go back to it at some point (seeing how few good animes there are). But first I need to watch GitS2... at some point.

[bonesquad]

FYI, Adult Swim Fix has opened for business. Now you can watch select AS shows 24-7! Boondocks, Champloo, ATHF, Space Ghost, Birdman, Sealab, it's all here. Sure the quality isn't great, but it ain't not bad and it's free!
