What?

(Actually, that's wrong. Emiri voiced Kyuubey)

Ely. Most wonderful cosplayer.

I think I've found another Anime I Want To Watch Because One Character Looks Good.

 

[nk4e]

Do you mean .hack beta version?

 

[kennylmao]

Besides, Hanekawa looks beautiful normally. Her cat form doesn't.

Normal Hanekawa sucks, but that black Hanekawa though.

Best Monogatari girl (I think we're doing that now?) is still Nadeko.

I been watching manga/anime from the Early 90's as with probably 50% of you who starting watching japanimation in the west around this time it all started with Akira it was being shown on channel 4 at 1am in the morning will always remember the moement exactly its like the first time you watched Star Wars. As in them days I was still in junior school and there was no Internet and I never knew what a manga was, about a year later I started high school there was a video store on my way to my new school it had a arcade machine inside so obviously a massive sf2 fan I went inside hoping it be SF2 it wasn't but I noticed the artwork straight away its AKIRA .. Anyways cut long story short I got akira and watched it to death ,then I knew what and who made thease films so back to the video store this time I got Fist of the North Star ..blown away I loved it.My mother noticed my intrest and bought me a shed load of mangas not knowing what they were if I am honest (I wasn't a spoilt kid just my mother could afford it)

The thing is I don't know anyone else who enjoyed manga's so its been like my own dirty little secret but if I am honest I have always conflicted intrest wise with my mates they like football I like Motorsport, they like booze I like a puff.

So in effect I have never had anyone to talk about thease type of films/series and i have had so may stored questions like is there a diffrence beetween anime/manga. And am I the only one who thinks all thease panty and fan shots are on the pervy side considering how young some of them are ment to be..

Greetings. If I may ask, what is SF2?

You're wrong.

And now for A Quickfire Excuse Picture

There are worse things to put an itasha on...and worse itashas.

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

I've started watching Soul Eater. It's some damn weird Goth-y stuff, but it's entertaining and the fight choreography is sweet.

 

[nk4e]

@kennylmao : Street Fighter II

 

[Downhill Dino]

Best Monogatari girl (I think we're doing that now?) is still Nadeko.

Yeah... no. Absolutely not.

 

[vasiliflame]

Get to it, man.
Yeah, you're not alone. I'm not sure if it's relevant, but CNN actually did a take on this regarding explicit content in Japan.

I only mentioned it because I normally try to avoid the weird manga/anime's mainly because I don't get them stuff like Dbz bleach etc i like stuff like gits ,ninja scroll trigun cowboy bebop bazerk etc etc mainly swearing and violence..

I came across High school of the dead after the last episode of the walking dead this caught my eye 1st episode was good few good animated zombie kills but at end of first episode something changes it compelled me to watch more but then episodes gets quite well dirty so to say I never seen such weirdness but killing zombies is always good I finished the series

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

 

[vasiliflame]

Weird

I thought Akira was the king of weird anime.

 

[C-ZETA]

Weird

Well that's Madoka for you.
Quick! Another excuse pic

I love how my mum used to try discouraging me from watching CSI: Miami because of some of the 'gruesome scenes' - except she watched it every night in bed.

 

[vasiliflame]

I wouldn't call akira weird it did take me a few try's to fully understand the plot but there are a lot of cultural references I didn't understand until a few years later when I got older. I would say its unique


I do like this pic a lough I do not know who it is

Although I think that image was just about within the AUP, please be careful not to violate it.

Anyway, if you like Akira, watch FLCL. It's what Akira would be like if it was a comedy with an indie rock soundtrack about childhood ending and adolescence beginning.

For some reason it amuses me to think of Hitomi acting like this while watching Episode 3:

 

[vasiliflame]

I am we'll aware of the rules my friend , but could you elaborate on the name flcl means nothing to me

 

[Roger the Horse]

FLCL. There is an anime called FLCL. It's that Tomino-esque thing, saying it's Gundam, but basically it's giant robot anime, right?

Nao's just like me, so he must be doing it. Doing, doing it, FLCLing.

So what do you think Haruko-san?

Oh, CLCL, like that.

Not like Curry powder aphrodisiac licked off of my desk.

It's this kind of CLCL new modality.

I mean like MTV.

Oh, former assistant editor in chief, I didn't know you had such a lovely young wife. Ooh, hoo hoo hoo. FLCL, it's kind of a CLCL dream thing.

Eh, my Sanae pics had skimpier ones than that within it.
On the subject of my sweetheart

This was an advert for Undefined Fantastic Object, which propelled Sanae from little fancied Stage 5 boss into very loved/hated Touhou. And object - for h-doujins, ironically. A lot of them...(this advert of her in a high-school uniform did not help.)

 

[Sage Ages]

FLCL is short for Fooly Cooly.

You like the vertical bullet hell games too?


Sorry guys this is a bit of a education as I never had anyone share my interests in these things

I will look up that show thanks

 

[C-ZETA]

You like the vertical bullet hell games too?

One of them, at least. Like is also way too short a word for that one.

 

[vasiliflame]

Hehe yeah I have a vert setup for shumps nothing special but gets the job done

 

[CoffeeGrunt]

But...girls can't love girls...GIRLS CAN'T LOVE GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRLS!

Then you be like, lol Sayaka might be a lesbian....ah no, she's crushing on a guy....ah no, Kyoko-chan OTP! Madoka Magica deals with that stuff pretty interestingly.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Give me one example of a girl who doesn't love a girl and I won't do anything I wouldn't have otherwise have done unless the way in which you give your example gives me reason to do so.

Try out Baccano!.

 

[Cano]

FLCL is short for Fooly Cooly.

If you ever refer to FLCL as Fooly Cooly again I will report you.

Try out Baccano!.

Don't.

 

[DK]

No wonder I seen Satsuki's Four Devas referred to as her "Elite Four" in one fandub:

 

[Sage Ages]

Oh yeah, forgot about that. My bad.

You mentioned Cowboy Bebop. Samurai Champloo was also created by Shinchiro Watanabe. 👍 Is a good watch.

@kennylmao : Street Fighter II

Thank you very much nk4e!

Yeah... no. Absolutely not.

I don't care about personality. I am a shallow person.

 

[Cano]

Oh yeah, forgot about that. My bad.

Your new avatar is awesome. You have always had awesome avatars because Haruko, and then you move on to another maybe even more awesome avatar because Gunsmith Cats. Yet you spew "Fooly Cooly". wtf is wrong with you guy.

Samurai Champloo was also created by Shinchiro Watanabe. 👍 Is a good watch.

It absolutely is. Watch that.

 

[Sage Ages]

wtf is wrong with you guy.

A lot of things.
