-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 dont really know. this whole anime thing is new to me. see, my high school group didn't necessarily dislike anime, but they didn't encourage it, except for my friend megan, who is now my girlfriend. and i guess i was under the impression that anime was lame and all dragonball z. but then i randomly watched Elfen Lied which opened up a whole new world. basically, i'm very limited in what i do and dont like due to my lack of knowledge

PURE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

As far as movies or shorts go I'd have to also add:
5 Centimeters per Second
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade
Neo-Tokyo
Cyber City Oedo 808
The Genius Party series of short films
Tokyo Godfathers
Hen Zemi
Uhh...can't remember anything right now.

In addition to some of mud's stuff (especially FLCL), I'm also a huge fan of Cromartie High School, Welcome to the NHK (manga too, the book was alright) and various things from the 80s and 90s...

I fucking love Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star. Absolutely ridiculous and about as badass as anime can get. Here, I'll sum it up for you.
A dude walking through a post-apocalyptic wasteland practices kung-fu that makes peoples' heads explode. He fights to free the common people by punching motherfuckers' spines out, literally.
Punching their SPINES OUT.
There are rifles that SHOOT KNIVES.
EVERYONE has a colorful mohawk and Mad Max armor, and in addition to that, every minor badguy has a backstory even if he's alive for only five minutes.
Hilarious animation mistakes such as people in the background being 10x the size of people in the foreground. And sometimes it's not a mistake! Sometimes they're just giants!
There's at least one moment in each episode that cracks me up because it's so ridiculous or poorly-drawn, and I hardly ever laugh at anything in television format. It's the best show ever.

^ >Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade.
That would make an awesome album/ep title.

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.

I don't think we ever said that only stereotypically white people listen to certain rappers. I can see how you read that, but I don't think either of us intended to say that. It's just that certain hip hop artists have a much greater following outside the hip hop community than others. You hardly hear hipsters talk about Immortal Technique yet he's the first rapper that has impressed me, a self-described hipster, with his rapping alone.

For me, it's always about the depth and creativity of the production of which I(note: I, as in entirely subjective opinion) see little in artists like Kanye West and such. They have a tendency to depend on samples more than use them like, say, Public Enemy, but I'm sure that's not true of every track, I just have never had any desire to listen to those(I did listen to all of Graduation and hated it from the very beginning, fucking ripping off Elton John and the Beegees from the very first second). Usually when I hear a song that uses samples poorly, I just want to listen to the original song, when it uses them well, I don't even recognize them./diatribe

Something positive/non-argumentative: I'm starting to fall in love with the scent of B.O.(at least my own) or at least I think that's what that smell is.

My wallet has a panda on it.

So, fuck you.

immortal technique and aesop rock and all of those other corny yet hyper literate/backpack rappers are very much hipster rap. or at least, more hipster rap than fucking kanye west. but whatever, the college dropout is still sick (much better than graduation) and talib kweli is even on a track because i'm sure you also like him. not that creativity is any sort of objective thing, but c'mon, my beautiful dark twisted fantasy had some of the illest production.

in other news, lil b samples slowdive.

Thinking I might forgo my Mustang hunt, replace the pickups in my DuoSonic, put a Mustang neck on it, and call it a day.

The '64 is getting a check up and the Warmoth has been sidelined with some nut issues. Laziness abounds.

The issues or the lethargy?
I should really invest in a set of fret files at some point. :/
