I have no clue, I was clearly thinking I was dead hilarious for failing at combining a pop culture nod with a catchy nickname.

I was slightly fond of -RadicalEdward-, though, and I had a nice sig for that incarnation.

Though I suppose having my name as "Kuro" isn't exactly the epitome of cool.

I think it's a cool name. Memorable, simple, ends in "o".

I've never liked Aphex Twin, but they have some cool videos.

Yeah, I didn't get any PMs until around a year after my name change.

When the PM system was named.

Funny that Gaia Online was brought up recently, and now NG is having banners for it. I always thought it was a MMORPG, until i searched once and found out it was a chat site.

Not surprised, bad throwaway gag from episode five.

KakiharaTheKiller (Terribly unfunny Ichi The Killer reference)

That one I'd have to think about, then if I got it I'd have one of those face slap moment.

It was an old gag long associated with Ichi fans who believe Kakihara deserves to be the title character since he's the fan favorite and appears on both the theatrical poster and DVD case, while Ichi does not.

Surprisingly not as gross as it sounds.

Remember how I said Fullmetal Alchemist would be more awesome if the animation ended as a massive mecha battle?

Even if you'd have seen it, chances are you'd forget the joke anyway, seeing as episode five never aired on television.

Decent series, too, albeit far less vulgar and serious then expected from Kevin Smith.

Just wait till you see the deleted scene in which he flies through Germany and stops the Beer Hall Putsch.

Yes, it's true, it wasn't poor planning, it was a giant fighting robot.

For some reason they decided that a giant fighting robot punching Hitler in the face was slightly too inappropriate for television.

Reminds me of how silly the premise of the film was....yet I still found it entertaining.

I could actually see that happening.

Clearly the only thing that could stop Hitler was a King of Braves-level mech battle.

Bastards...

I finished watching Cromartie High School. That was quite a funny show. I still think the first episode is probably the funniest.

I couldn't appreciate the Di Gi Charat references, though, since I've never seen it and I don't plan to either.

lol "Jaka Jan. Cromartie"

Yes, it's awesome. But when people tell you it has a crap ending (or no ending, whatever) they really aren't kidding. So far, it's the worst ending to an anime series I have ever seen.

I think I'd probably give it a miss, considering I've disliked the majority of Kevin Smith movies I've seen.

Well, except Dogma.

And that's mostly because Alan Rickman is the man.

Dogma was fucking funny.

Most people only know Rickman for dead serious roles, but the man can do comedy fairly well.

At 7/11/07 11:33 PM, Gendo wrote: Which ones have you seen?

Not that much, but enough.

I think... Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and assorted parts of a bunch of other films, which I haven't seen fit to go through due to those parts being horribly unfunny.

Well, it was funny, but there were a bunch of parts that shouldn't have been in there.

The shit monster for one.

Well, considering he generally plays the dead series, or overly sarcastic/cynical characters, it's completely understandable that people would do that.

Watching bits and parts is no way to judge his films, but I can see where you'd find Strike Back unfunny.

Yeah, some stuff felt out of place.

Agreed.

True, but he displayed some great comedic talents in his earlier work.

Trying to re-watch the Hellsing TV series, but the weaksauce animation and shite story in the second half are killing it for me.

Made it to episode 8, gicing up now.

Incognito was an irritating villain.

Why have a vampire walk around naked when vampires are supposed to be all suave and classy? It's completely ruining folklore.

I might do a rewatch of the first half of Azumanga Daioh, considering there was somewhere around a 1 and a half year gap between me watching the first half and me watching the second.

Well, my most likely phrase I'd say in imitating Alan Rickman is "Now I've got a machine gun...ho...ho...ho", so I couldn't possibly sound like Clive Owen there.
