ð dragfyre pokes around at the Asahi top 100, notes a few he’s heard of
and watched.
<dragfyre> Full Metal Alchemist, One Piece, Rozen Maiden… all fairly
high rated.
<dragfyre> Full Metal Alchemist is pretty popular. o_O
<dragfyre> and dragon ball of course, but I’m not sure I’d watch that
if it wasn’t for lulz.
<dragfyre> what’s the name of that anime with the angel who goes around
clubbing people into a gory death?
<William> Club-to-death angel Dokuro-chan, I believe.
<dragfyre> that’s it.
<dragfyre> Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan [note to self: don't bother, it's ecchi]
<William> What anime to watch will depend on your budget. I highly
recommend Azumanga Daioh, Oh My Goddess (a.k.a. Ah!
Megami-Sama), and of course I personally am a rabid Sailor
Moon fan but that’s not everybody’s cup of tea.
<William> There are the classics, of course. Utena, Slayers, NGE, etc.
<William> What have you watched and liked?
ð Dan_Wood puts William down to control the spread of that particular
strain of rabies…
<dragfyre> Will: noted above
<dragfyre> Full Metal Alchemist, One Piece, Rozen Maiden
<dragfyre> I’ve also watched Deathnote and it seems to have promise.
<dragfyre> I’ve watched Bleach, Naruto, DBZ and didn’t really like them
.
<dragfyre> Sailor Moon I haven’t actually watched through, but the name alone
makes me lul.
<dragfyre> sailor moon was the butt of so much ridicule when I was in
highschool. %)
<William> Yes, well, so was D&D, and now the nerds run the world. At any rate
…
<William> Allright, so skip the heavy fighting anime, but you can handle
darkness, and you like good art. I can work with that.
<William> Haibane Renmei. Earth Girl Arjuna. GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka).
<William> My recommendations for all the previous stand as well.
<dragfyre> these sound arcane.
<William> HR, EGA, and GTO are lesser-known but excellent, in my opinion.
Azumanga and A!MG are very mainstream.
<dragfyre> yeah, I’ve heard of both of those.
<William> HR: religious-themes psychodrama. EGA: high-myth ecologically
motivated fantasy. GTO: comedy/drama, modern realistic. Azumanga
Daioh:uproariously funny slice-of-life school setting. A!MG:
romance/comedy, bit of drama, goddesses as the main characters
(Shinto and Norse elements).
<dragfyre> oooh
<dragfyre> ok, noted.
<dragfyre> I like to rofl.
<dragfyre>
<JCat> Haibane Renmai was awsome though.
<William> Then get Azumanga Diaoh first. ^_^
<dragfyre> hehehe
<JCat> And Will, I recommend Aria.
<William> Theme?
<JCat> Seriously slice of life.
<dragfyre> also noted
<JCat> Fun lighthearted girls on gondolas doing gondola things.

<rubbrchikin> My anime consists of: Old Otaku Standbys (Evangelion, Cowboy
Bebop, Trigun, FLCL, Slayers), Random comedy (Azumanga Daioh,
Excel Saga), Otaku-oriented stuff (Haruhi, Rozen Maiden), …
and then there’s just oddball shows like Lain.

<William> My anime shelf: Real Bout High School, Armitage, Hellsing, A.D.
Police, Niea_7, Azu, Ah! Megami-Sama, MKR, Great Teacher Onizuka,
Utena, one disc of Haibane Renmei, Steamboy (unwatched), FF7: Advent children (unwatched), Sailor Moon movies.

Enfant du soleil,
tu parcours la terre, le ciel,
cherche ton chemin,
c’est ta vie, c’est ton destin,
et le jour, la nuit,
avec tes deux meilleurs amis,
à bord du grand Condor,
tu recherches les Cités d’Or

aaah ah ah ah ah
Esteban, Zia, Tao, les Cités d’Or

Enfant du soleil,
ton destin est sans pareil,
l’aventure t’appelle,
n’attends pas et cours vers elle

aaah ah ah ah ah
Esteban, Zia, Tao, les Cités d’Or

in the beginning, there was jack.
and jack had a groove.
and from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
and one day, while viciously throwing down on his box,
jack boldly declared: “let there be house!”

and house music was born.

teh beets = pickled
in juices like red not-blood
where we conduct our daily banking activities
it is the dominion of our doom
pina colada enchilada
my number one stranger sensation
complicated people lead complicated lives
and say sometimes sometimes
like essence of lemon-lime
is enough for you if you just sit down and shut case
in your face and up your peebles
doglike in its aneurysm
poca poca la vaca loca
the echidna
boston bruin
for restless end of inducement
and spunge cake
boof

EPIC
