I am irritated that code geass has turned from "Yay, we won with superior tactics " into "Yay, we won due to superior technology" (read "POWWWER UP!"). Yeah, the tactical stuff wasn't complex, but seeing teams trade off curbstomping each other with new mechs is boring.

Been watching the Liar Game TV show, which fits here well enough even though it's real-action.
Talk about no filler, a month goes by in the first episode alone.


In hindsight, I should have finished Code Geass first (currently at episode 20), but I know after I finish season one I need to see the second one too.
Is the live action better or worse than the manga? That is on my list to watch/read. TVtropes claims the manga is superior, but I dont really like the manga format

Wow. Just watched the first episode. The acting and camera work is terrible, but in a hilarious way. Flat affect to melodrama, suddenly. The plot is interesting enough that it will continue to hold my interest.

LOL, this is just so bad its good. Blood is so blatantly fake.
LOL, this is just so bad its good. Everytime someone says something vaguely dramatic, dramatic bassline accompaniment.

Code Geass season finale was kindof a letdown... but then Orange-kun FIRARED HIS PEWPEW LAZORS.
What is the translation of what he said there? It was only one word...

I know thats the joke, I am just curious on the actual meaning. It sounded almost like a cut off HADOKEN.

Is this a thread about Cowboy Bebop?


It should be.

How about the music of Cowboy Bebop. Youtube it people. That show had like a hundred songs, all of them good.
Pretty sure everyone who posts in this thread knows how good Yoko Kanno's music is, yeah.
She did the ghost in the shell music too, look it up.

Now it gets worse. In the scene where the rebels secure the tunnel with a big gun in the hotel, they can kill knightmare with it. Wonderful. Sounds like conventional weapons can kill knightmares. No, wait, its just attached to an old knightmare... WTF? The gun doesn't move, doesn't aim, just fires some kind of frag bullet. Why would they have attached it to a modified knightmare?

Thats total hand wave. They havent seen a knightmare getting killed attacking a rebel fortress, even by just a lucky shot. I mean, since the rebels appeared to have no hope in fighting such ludicrously effective armies, why do they even exist? They should be rebelling some way other than militarily. oh well.

Pizza Hut, official restaurant of empires.
Is there ever an explanation in code geass for why the knightmares are so phenomenally better than conventional weapons? They seem to fire guns, and presumably they don't dodge bullets, so why would being a humanoid chassis make a weapon any better... Want justification.

Go watch Panty & Stocking.  Its great.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
They just killed the monster of the week with poledancing.
I don't even know how to describe this. Also, thats the first time i've heard a censoring beep in anime. I didn't realize that japan actually had words that would get censored considering they had covered pretty much every swear in the book before hitting that one.
I can describe it now. Its like instead of sugar and spice the powerpuff girls were made of hookers and blow. This show is totally on my must watch list.

Man has a fucking awesome mustache, gotta respect him for that.

Also: I feel like watching Black Lagoon, is it any good?
Black Lagoon is pretty good. There isn't anything phenomenal about it, but all around its solid. worth watching.

Ive been watching GITSSAC too, while I was sick. Trying to understand GITS with a high fever is intense.

The look on Batou's face in ep 15 is so mind = blown. He sits like this for at leave 3 minutes, and you get like 3 angles on it. Hmm. I can't get the image to show up so I linked it.

Finished watching FMA finally. My thoughts basically can be summed up by this

Also, just found out they have a bunch of decent anime I need to watch streamable off netflix. Pretty cool, especially since they are ones that are fine dubbed. I assume they are dubbed, though I suppose they might not be...
