This Saturday on Toonami, T.O.M. is going to interview the director of the upcoming blockbuster, Pacific Rim (which is heavily influenced by Kaiju films & mechs). Should be interesting.

Also, based on a discussion on the last page, it seems like I'm still the only person here who actually likes InuYasha, lol.

From what I saw (about 20 or so episodes, mostly but not entirely in order and not starting from the beginning), it is an ok shonen action series that gets worse when you realize how little anything seems to ever happen beyond the exact same 3 episode ideas. Sometimes I feel that might be unfair until I realize a lot of people have agreed with that statement.

Even if you like it, there's no way you can convince me there isn't a ton of better stuff in the genre.

@RR529
I actually love InuYasha, I haven't watched it in forever though, I need to finish it. The main gripe I have with it is that it just gets so repetitive sometimes.

I once borrowed the first volume of Inuyasha from my library, and it wasn't too bad. My friend was a massive fan and convinced me to stay up until 1am (this was back when Adult Swim was a thing here, I think 2005 or something) and I remember thinking that it wasn't really worth staying up that late :/

Yeah, it was on around 12 a.m. here at the time. Still one of the most pooular anime to be shown on Adult Swim, I believe (heck, outside of Cowboy Bebop, I can't think of any other anime they've held onto for so long, and even then, it hasn't been taken off the schedule as often, but that's probably because Bebop's a shorter series). Even now, they have an hour of it at the end of Toonami, from 4 a.m. - 5 a.m.

According to some comments I read on the AS message boards, they actually got a newer copy of the series when they premiered it on Toonami (based on some redubbed dialog).

@KKSlider, I never said you had to like it, and I never said there weren't much better stuff out there. I simply said I like it, and nothing more (and I'll even admit it's mostly for nostalgia's sake).

Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

So I decided to buy BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad and Welcome to the NHK on a whim from Amazon due to how cheap they were (less than $30 for both combined). I'm looking forward to getting them in the mail later.

Did you get the anime or the manga? Because if you got the anime, I seriously hope you got the Funimation Dub! The only real flaw with Beck is that there's a lot of horribly mispronounced English in the original version which makes some episodes almost unwatchable. Hope you enjoy both though, I loved Beck and haven't heard any bad things about Welcome to the NHK

I got the animes, both dubbed. There's no way I wouldn't do that with dubs as good as those. Heck, I usually hear that Beck is better in English than in Japanese, which is pretty remarkable since all the music had to be dubbed too.

I'm maybe the only one that does this but in the summer times I usually re-watch animes that I haven't seen in over a year, I have three in my mind I'm going to watch, watched all of one and I'm at the second one.

As of right now I'm watching Elfen lied once again, the last time I watched it which was probably was two years ago, pretty dark but I enjoyed it.

Is it just me, or is Firefly very similar to Bebop/Trigun?

A few people on the interwebs have a pet theory that Joss Whedon's a closet anime fan Kinda like how Kayne West is a (not at all) closeted anime fan

Cowboy Bebop has way more going for it than just the space outlaw angle though, and Firefly is good in its own ways too. I feel that Firefly is more focused on its own characters, while Bebop is all about the worlds in the future and the culture of each. That's what I got from watching them anyway. I haven't seen Trigun, but I'd assume that it has a character of its own too.

what i got from Cowboy Bebop is that it wants to be the greatest anime ever by not being anime

I'd probably respect this more if wasn't for the commercial break moments having text congratulating itself for being revolutionary. No one should do that ever.

Bebop seriously boasts about itself while you're watching it?

Bwahahaha, iirc it had "The work which shall transcend genres will be called Cowboy Bebop" or something in one of the ad breaks. I didn't see it trying to be the greatest anime ever, but it did self-boast a great deal.

EDIT: Maybe the reason why I wasn't ticked off by it was because it popped up in an episode after I'd made the conclusion that it does do quite a bit of genre bending. In hindsight though, I agree with KKslider, nobody should do that ever

Geeze. You know, I'm starting the think I'm just gonna be watching Bleach and One Piece as constants, with only 1-2 other short shows being watched at the same time. FMA B is on hold because...it can wait. I'm gonna wrap up Fruits Basket and Lucky Star, finish Gargantia, and keep following Attack on Titan. Since it won't be too long before three of those shows are out of the way, I guess I'll start from there with 1-2 new one(s).

I hate attack on titan being a monthly manga. iT was awesome when I had 40 chapters to get caught up on, but now it seems like its dragging purposely.

WAT!

Hey check out my awesome new youtube channel shingi70 where I update weekly on the latest gaming and comic news form a level headed perspective.

Though as others have said, I do feel that Inuyasha was too repetitive. I mean, I like repetitive shows to a degree - I watch super Robot and Magical girl shows from time to time, and it's rare that it gets more repetitive than those, yet I still couldn't stick with Inuyasha. So...props to you for being able to stick with and enjoy it for what it is.
