lol. yah. SO MANY PANCHEE AND OPPAI SHOTS IN HIGH SCHOOL DEAD.

i'm with you. all hipster about it and shit. i've lurved (good) anime forever. but i'm just a nerd about movies/series. i love well done american stuff, but seeing the different sensibilities in play with european or asian based media is DELICIOUS.

Sure, and I fucking adore a bunch of European films and all of Kurosawa's shit. Anime just never did it for me. Probably for the same reason I never got into comic books.

I have an affinity for animated shows/movies. Anime and cartoons are the life for me.

Any chance someone would loan out a Rusty Box for a hot sec? Really want to try one out.

[behndy]

iiiiii would be down if we weren't trying to swing into Gigging Mode. i'll look at our schedule, if we have a few weeks off i could wing mines out to you.

[D.o.S.]

I love that cd title. Well done, suh.

agreed! although... the name put the image of buzz lightyear with his head chopped of in my head and that's a good thing

Had a show using the Rusty Box as a preamp a couple of weeks ago - and everything sounded too bright.

Less volume, no boost, moar gain...?...

Ben - BIG gratz on the album...availability?

Thanks - I'll give this a try. It's the first time I've used a rusty at the end if the chain. Previously I used it as a dirty boost before my other pedals.

[Tendollarcat]

Am I the only male on the internet who's not into anime? And it's not that I haven't given it a chance. I just ... I don't get it.

I'm with you man. I respect how clever it is but just can't get into it.

[behndy]

HAWT. OUR WORK HERE IS DONE.

i love the To Virginity.... and BEYOND meme for uber grungy otaku nerds.

lol. FUCK. i keep getting distracted with stuff, so i'm only like halfway through Redline but it's so beautiful. i'm an idiot for waiting so long to watch it. so many cute tweaks of the anime stereotypes and the pacing is fucking PERFECT.

*intense nerd glare*

*grab candy bar from back pocket and unwrap*

*pure calmness erupting into*

GORI RIDER YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!!

i havna laughed at jokes and giggled in wonder at anything since Django or Sucker Punched or Oldboy.

Also holy fuck I just rediscovered the Bloodhound Gang's hooray for boobies record. ITS FUN!

I woulda thought you'd have HSOTD hard wired on a bigscreen playing non-stop.

I mean, I grew up watching it (ANIMONDAYS MOTHER FUCKERS), so I have that sentimental attachment, but I think a lot of people just consider, and then subsequently dismiss, animated stuff based on the plot. "Oh, a bunch of robots shooting stuff? Why don't I just watch them Michael Bay movies?"
You can look at it as an artistic medium


or as a way of presenting something that would be impossible with live-action (the proposed Cowboy Bebop thang with Keanu would have been like $500 million, and giant tentacle rape monsters don't exist), and then it becomes a lot more palatable.

Always kind'a wish they had you know in LOR... anyway... Really a lot of what you have been seeing in Hollywood movies has been ripped off from anime... starting with a Matrix.. that is total rip-off the "matrix" it's self is taken right from Ghost in the shell. So even if you don't watch the real thing you are still watching it in a raped and bastardized way.. and in it's "golden age" [80's -2003ish] Anime really did take the scifi ball up from stuff like bladerunner with Akira and GITS Sadly it's the net that I see as what is being a downfall for it... too much trying to sell dolls for middle aged men and crap insead of good stories.. rant rant rant rant...

And they were all a bunch of nerds being like "Man, that Billy Gibson guy's pretty cool."

[D.o.S.]

that phrase "ghost in the shell" has always caught my ears very nicely. Never watched it(?) or read it(?), though.

Yeah, Hollywood is very very good at ripping off material from any and every possible source. I'm not at all surprised that the Matrix was ripped off from an anime, it seems like a similar style. Akira is actually one of the anime's that I have seen. I know that it's considered this fucking classic, but ... it was ok. Honestly, it didn't enthrall me.

I do have to admit that I'm a pretty fucking miserable movie snob. 99.9% of the stuff that gets churned just looks like donkeyshit to me. There are maybe 1 or 2 films a year that I have any interest in seeing. And I've never really been into action-for-action's-sake, which is pretty much all that's made now.
