As in, "this is funny lolwat" or, "lolwat the fuck is this shit"?

Azumanga Daioh was funny as hell. Actually, I've been two episodes away from finishing that for months. I should get on that.

You missed some good episodes.

Osaka has a southern American accent.

Which I suppose makes sense, but it's quite annoying.

Both, but mostly the former.

Anyway, after I finifh AMD and SZS, I've thought about checking out either Kaiji or Black Jack, but at the moment, my main problem is that I'm a bit confused, since BJ seems to be a bunch of OVA's and Movies or something, and I don't know where to start etc.

I am contributing penis.

Don't be, it's pretty awful.

Black Jack has no specific continuity, so it doesn't matter what you watch first.

I still think they nailed Chiyo's voice.

TONIGHT I introduce my roommate to Akira. If he ever wakes up. The only anime he's seen is Princess Mononoke.

ALSO, I attempt to find new batteries for my dying mouse.

EMPHASIZED first words!

Ew, wireless mouse.

It has served me well over the years. Not like that traitorous bitch Windows 98. She promised so much, but delivered so little.

I still fondly remember owning a Commodore 64 when they were new.

I'm not sure about Akira.

It's amazing visually, of course, but it's the narrative which I'm not sure about.

I'm just not sure that it really makes sense, after all they cut out from the manga.

I never read the manga. That is why.

Many beers and one Akira movie later, my roomate looked at me and said "You are one weird motherfucker."

Can't win them all.

LOL

I preferred the Manga, since the buildup wasn't so huge and the conclusion wasn't as lame/ambiguous.

Also, a more general question:

Does the Bookndocks, count as anime since McGruder uses the same style as anime? Especially the fight scenes, those are amazing.

I watched Akira a few weeks ago, i laughed when the guy lost control of his powers and i noticed what South Park was referencing in one of their episodes.
I also started watching berserk yesterday, it´s good.

Both?

IT"S CLOCK DAY!!!!!!!!!

Yeah....so...no one has anything to say on the Boondocks?

Other clubs should know better than to raid mine.

THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANIME! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Using the japanese style does not qualify it as anime.

Well, parts of the second season were done by Madhouse, so you could consider it partially anime.

Still, a funny series.

Oh, I fucking love it, but it's not anime

Good joob, you missed the entire conversation already on that. Also, people are stupid.

Damn my drunken spelling. I should quit drinking at 8 in the morning. From now on, it's no earlier than 8:30.

It's done by MadHouse. That's why. It's not Japanese anime.

Yup, one could say the art is INSPIRED by anime, or it's art is anime-style, but if it ain't made in Japan, it ain't anime.

Yeah, I don't consider it anime either. (LOL, I never said my view on it, so some of the less intelligent here just assumed that I thought it was anime)

My cousin does, and I yell at her every time she says that.

Is there a reason that Jump didn't come out?

Interestingly enough, I just watched Afro Samurai, and was about to post about it.

It was alright. Entertaining enough, but it suffered because of its high level of violence.

The ridiculous streams of blood made it really unrealistic, and thus the deaths never really felt like they had much weight to them.

Also, Afro Samurai was pretty much a horrible person with no admirable purpose, so I found it extremely hard to root for him. Or anyone, really.

About anime based games, I hear some of the Naruto games are pretty good.

Just seems a little obvious it isn't, he was just inspired by animes like Samurai Champloo.(Which is also why Jin made a 6 second cameo appearance in one of the episodes during the first season)

Where was the cameo????

Do you guys like the Devil May Cry anime? I thought it was good, even though there aren´t too many characters from the game.
