Fair enough.

That's a poor comparison. EVERYONE thinks CSI: Miami is stupid, but Torchwood actually has fans.

I just thought of this. X-Files cast photos never made them look like trendy cunts.

That's because David Duchovony is fucking awesome.

X-Files wasn't written and produced by a non talented bum bandit.

I just finished the Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, which was a 13-ep series short. It was alright, but the ending was a bit of a "Let's shit on both the hero and his rival", however they finally dealt the main character a happy ending after he did a year's worth of hard labour for Military Insubordination.

Also picked up GA art design class, another classy Slice-Of-Life anime.



Which is adorable.

SOME WELL INTENTIONED EXTREMISTS HAVE TOOK DOWN ALL THE GUNDAM VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE WHAT THE HELL

I CAN TELL YOU HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR A LONG TIME.

I need Gundam to live :( or at least stay awake.

Which Gundam? Wing?

You want a link to a streaming site?

Thank you very much for your PM link Ghost :).

Uhhhh.... Blah blah Illegal Activity blah blah Infraction blah blah Strike Witch indefinately banned blah blah blah.


I hope you've both learnt your lesson.

Oh, yes sir Mr. Nate.

Seriously. I just allude to possibly providing things for people via PM. For shame.

Anyone like some free CP? Hit up the PMs for links

Watching the original series of Mobile Suit Gundam at the moment, as well as moonlighting into the fifth season of YuGiOh (Subbed of course) and FLCL which is probably the funniest shit I have ever watched.

You haven't seen FLCL yet? How popped is your anime cherry anyway?

Holy shit, I don't even like anime and I've already seen/owned FLCL.

Anime is both a great gift and a terrible curse. But, it'll never make you laugh or cry as much as Family Guy. I watched an interesting TV series once called Space 1999. I've also found myself watching repeats of Top Gear on Dave now for some random reason. I guess Clarksons' voice is funny to imitate.

Char Aznable <3

there's this canceled nbc series called kings that i want to start watching, it's based on the story of king david from the bible but in a modern-day setting and apparently every episode had a huge budget http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi1728774937/

So there is rape, murder, and treason?

Kind David was such a swell guy.

Ah, but you miss the point. Jewish theology doesn't believe in divine, perfect figures. You can't learn anything from someone like that. So, the role models are all flawed heroes, who fucked up and then tried to fix their mistakes.

And that's my two cents.

Like God?

Gee, God. I just feel so bad about joining the Philistines, and then burning and killing in all those Israelite villages. It's just tearing me up.

But yeah, I get what you mean.

I'm erm.

I'm kind of watching Axis Powers Hetalia, and I wouldn't be able to tell you if you asked why.

Nnngh.

Watching the shit out of The Venture Bros. right now. I think I'll buy the first three seasons. I love the show too much just to (keep) pirate(ing) it.

Also kind of watching Transformers Animated. It really grew on me.

I love Venture Brothers. Great show.

Yeah. Any show that puts Samuel Clemens and Aleister Crowly in the same room wins.

Well, I've just about watched EVERY Gundam series now.

Just gotta finish Victory then SEED.

So I've watched:

Mobile Suit Gundam:
The original war epic, this show is pretty much a giant-robot-ized allegory of WW2 and WW1, with references and allusions to Hitler, Nazi Germany, WW1 Aces, Naval warfare, and the horrors of war. While it may seem dated and slow, this old show from 1979 has enough twists and story to keep you interested. Amazingly good pacing and plot-threads.

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam:
As above, but darker. Zeta Gundam was the director getting much more free-reign to write his show, spinning out characters from the previous series into older, wiser versions of themselves, and delivering some really heart-breaking moments near the end.

Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam:
When his superiors reeled him back into line after Zeta's bloodbath, Director Yoshiyuki Tomino gave them this light-hearted romp. The second-half, featuring a much darker, stronger story, redeemed the show a great deal.

Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterrattack:
The first Gundam movie, Char's counterrattack combined great animation with a close look at the future of humanity. While a ton of the deaths seemed rather pointless and the small cast not as interesting, the central two characters really put some solid deconstruction into heroes and villains.

Gundam F91:
A series that was cut and compressed into a long movie, F91 suffers the most from rushed storytelling right through its' runtime. The characters and robot design do offer something, however.

New Mobile Report Gundam Wing:
The Preachy and serious soap-opera, Wing was a much more philisophical show, that despite being very dark, managed to have a happy ending. Some really bad characters in this one. The movie added to the story well.

Mobile Fighter G Gundam:
RAAAAAAGH SHINING FINGERRRR RAAAAGH
DOMON
MASTER
DOMON
MASTER
GUNDAM TURNS INTO WINDMILL
GIANT DEMON GUNDAM
RAAAAAGH GODFINGER
repeat each episode.

After War Gundam X:
A nice, slower show that was unfortunately cut short, meaning it needed a few more episodes to avoid feeling rushed. Still, great show.

Turn A Gundam:
After the bloodbath that was Victory Gundam, the old series director came back with a new outlook on life many years later to make this series. Turn A is a masterpiece that flows from laid-back countryside to hectic fights on the moon in the most meta and far-reaching Gundam show. Pretty much one to watch after you've seen most all others.

Gundam 00:
A modern, hectic and crazy series, Gundam 00 is probably the best modern Gundam series, combining the best original mecha with all-too-familiar setting.
Also one of the most realistic series.

and I've read 00F as well as Crossbone Gundam.

*whew* Almost there!

What about that cel shaded mess they pooped out a few years ago? Where all the gundams were itty bitty little midget fuckers?

But that's totally missing the point of why it was so Goddamn awesome :(.

EDIT: Hehe Goddamn...

the best part of rocko was the big assed naked red guy with the tim curry-esque voice

Ummmm, Cow and Chicken?

Daria! It is pure love!

Yeah, way to get your series mixed up... alot.
I suppose you may have gotten confused considering the Red Guy and Mr. Bighead are voiced by the same guy.

But still, completely different comedy style.

SD Gundam? That was just another installment in an incredibly long-running parody series. It used to be legitimately funny...

Oh, it is. Which is why ALL CAPS is the only way to describe it.

The dub of it was fucking terrible.

Dubs of anything are terrible.
City of Lost Children is no better dubbed even if you get Ron Perlman to voice himself.

Ocean Group's dub of DBZ before Funimation shat all over it wasn't horrible though. I prefer Vegeta's classic "Over nine-thousaaaand!" voice to the annoyingly staccato, faux-british voice they got on him now.
