I mean, Lucky Star and suicide are pretty much one in the same.

I fucking love Azumanga Daioh.  LOVE.  IT.  But Lucky Star is so fucking boring and I don't like the art style much, either.  I kinda like the opening theme though.   :-[ :'(

Oh, by the way.  You know why "Otaku" love this show?  The blue-haired girl.  She's always playing various video games and talking about anime shit.  And she likes to play her father's hentai games.  No I am not making this up, and this is pretty much why I couldn't get through more than one episode.

I can't think of too much this DECADE that I've really enjoyed, come to think of it.

what's up with japan's obsession with big eyes and varying hair colors?

Big eyes = more expression.

Hair colors = easier to tell characters apart from one another.

No, no.  That's Prole.  I'm on the other end of the spectrum.  I need big tittays.

i kinda like the Lucky Star intro. It's crazy and kinda catchy. i'm thinking i'd like suicide too, up until the part where i died, or possibly had my stomach pumped. Maybe there should be an entry for failed attempted suicide.

do some of that autoerotic asphyxiation.  At least you'll have fun that way.
i know a guy who died from that in high school. He also suggested that we rape his kid sister's friend in eight sixth grade.

I'll admit it, I watched about the first seven episodes of Lucky Star, up until the bathhouse episode. That episode made me a bit...uncomfortable to the point that I realized I'd rather just watch Azumanga Diaoh again. So I did.

;etc. etc.

What part of "*I* can't think of too much this DECADE that **********I've********** really enjoyed didn't you understand?  And I'm only talking anime.  Manga still rules.

There's only a few series I have really liked the past 7+ years.  But I haven't seen a lot of stuff either.  I loved the Planetes manga and I'm sure I'd like it in animated form too, but once I read comics I generally don't care to see it animated unless it's a high budget movie or something.  Azumanga Daioh is the only anime I thought was better than the manga.

I think my favorites have been Azumanga Daioh, 2x2 = Shinobuden, Samurai Champloo, and GTO.  Maybe I'm just forgetting a bunch of stuff.

No one cannot like Azumanga Daioh. It's impossible. Azumanga is like the most impossibly cute thing ever made. Saying you hate it, is like saying that you hate puppies or kittens or animals that have been forced to wear clothes or baby chicks that have been artificially colored pink or blue for Easter. In fact, Azumanga Daioh is like colored chicks riding in tiny little saddles on the back of kittens and puppies wearing a tiny little cowboy hat and vest. Is that boring to you too? Well is it??

FYI, you're probably not even a human anymore, and have already been switched out by a pod person. I'm keeping an eye on you.

Its a shame Cowboy Bebop is now the 'Have you seen Anime? - Yeah Ninja Scroll' because it cheapens what the show is, ultimately. Most of the GOOD anime out there; Evangelion, FLCL, any Satoshi Kon work, Cowboy Bebop, Last Exile, and yes, even my personal favorite but fairly light SLAYERS is a mark above American animated entertainment in terms of content.

Its a good show, its not anime of the ever, but its an extremely interesting series created by a dude who was going through shit everyone goes through. Not often are you allowed to follow a person's catharsis from start to finish. While the series original ending at first release was baffling, the Directors Cut and the movies did a better job presenting the material in the context of the show.

What makes Eureka Seven so popular is it approaches these themes too, but without all the angst and pain of a director going through serious shit. The end result is a much more approachable show.

It started with "Akira, Ghost In The Shell, and Ninja Scroll."  Those were the three examples of anime in most peoples' heads for a while.  I'm sure now you can add Dragonball Z and a few others.

Its a shame Cowboy Bebop is now the 'Have you seen Anime? - Yeah Ninja Scroll' because it cheapens what the show is, ultimately. Most of the GOOD anime out there; Evangelion, FLCL, any Satoshi Kon work, Cowboy Bebop, Last Exile, and yes, even my personal favorite but fairly light SLAYERS is a mark above American animated entertainment in terms of content.

ahahahah

wasn't it "have you seen anime? - yeah, ghost in the shell'?

It started with "Akira, Ghost In The Shell, and Ninja Scroll."  Those were the three examples of anime in most peoples' heads for a while.  I'm sure now you can add Dragonball Z and a few others.

yeah i think "yeah i've seen anime. i've seen dbz." is more accurate than "yeah i've seen anime. I've seen cowboy bebop."

it seems most folks worship cowboy bebop are already anime fans.

cowboy bebop was a revelation. i hadn't seen an anime like that back when i first watched it. Still my favorite anime tv series to this day.

Yotsuba is the one that followed right? It didnt seem to do as well as Azumanga did. Azumanga exists fine on its own tho.

yeah. i'm not sure if it's out in the usa tho. it's really fun. I read the manga.

It's doing pretty well, actually.  I just heard the creator refused to have it turned into an animation for some reason.

wow really? i'd be all for a yotsubato anime.

Yotsuba's out in the USA....I think the last one that came out was volume 6.

Maybe Azuma just wants to wait till he's done with the series before having it turned into animation, I dunno...though I think he's planning on continuing Yotsuba for a lot of years to come.

Yeah, it's hilarious.  The characters are so well-realized and Yotsuba really does act like a child her age would (except without all the meanness that kids have at that age), but we better not talk about it TOO much or dcharlie will show up and start raining on our parade.

Cowboy Bebop in terms of the craft is very important, but its themes aren't very compelling as they've been mirrored once again in Samurai Champloo and Ghost in the Shell in parts. Basically to someone new to anime it says 'hay you thought it was all lolis, but its not, its dudes with guns n shit wtf'.

Yotsuba, you mean?  Or are you talking about Azumanga again?

If we're talking animation, then I go with the original audio.  If we're talking manga, I've only read the English version.

The azumanga dub isnt that good, to be honest. Most of the pure japanese plays on words go over my head and hearing them 'adapted in english' is just as baffling.

i liked the dub, but I can watch it in both languages. I really liked the extra features on the flcl and azumanga dvds because they helped you understand the show a lo more.
