have you ever been huffed from eating?

[bob the r0bot]

Just watched FLCL again...

SPOILER : show

How does it sting worse the second time!?

[snipelfritz]

I've found it doesn't get any better over time. The first four episodes lull you into a false sense of security then they smack you over the head with ten tons of absurd backstory.

...but goddamn is it awesome.

have you ever been huffed from eating?

does huffed mean tired? If so, then yes, sometimes chewing is too much effort.

I see it as one long piece that will never be topped.
Fun fact: during a darker time in my life I would watch FLCL at the end of every day as a type of motivation to clear my head and keep positive

[snipelfritz]

Yeah, that's why I can watch it compared to most other anime. It's so much less episodic and ties up nicely rather than being one never-ending-until-we-get-canceled adventure. Or at least that's how it often feels to moi.

FLCL is one of those things that I'll watch and gain some sense of existential fulfillment, not to mention the dialogue is so dense I'm sure there's plenty to pick out even after countless viewings.

i don't understand my fellow white people's obsession with Kid Cudi. everyone i know is like "eh i don't like rap, but ZOMG KID CUDI!!!!!!!!" and then i was like eh, maybe i'm missing something? so i gave him a listen and what a surprise, i am thoroughly confused about what all the commotion is about

This has been the story of me and any other rapper with a hipster following(i.e. Kanye, M.I.A., etc.). It still sounds like shit to me, but IMHO lyrics aren't really a part of music. Their auxiliary at best.

holy shit you guys.

i don't like kid cudi, but i'm not white. i have a lot of non-white friends who like him. my brother and some friends (all nonwhite) saw him when he came to cleveland. the show had a lot of non white people. in fact, considering the ratio of my white friends to my nonwhite friends who like cudi, i'd say i know more people of color who like him. although that's because most white people i know just don't like rap unless it's eminem

however calling kanye a hipster rapper is fucking stupid and ignorant of the fact that he is kind of a big deal. just because you don't like something doesn't make it hipster! kanye is one of the most mainstream rappers ever, seriously, THE MOST.

[nieh]

fuck kanye west.

-Elfen Lied
-Claymore
-The Sacred Blacksmith
-Ga Rei:Zero
-Spice and Wolf

so what do i watch next? it recommends deathnote, high school of the dead and a bunch of others, but i guess i was wondering whats relevant and liked by the ILF community

Highschool of the Dead

Deathnote's alright, nothing spectacular.

Kiddy Grade's probably on that list. Me rikey.

There'a an anime thread, but what genres u rike?

I really liked Last Exile. It's one of those shows that doesn't require any previous anime viewing to enjoy or get any in-jokes. Like Cowboy Bebop. Or Samurai Champloo.
Also you need to watch the movies Dead Leaves and REDLINE.
There's so much more but I can't think of anything right now
