Hrm, maybe I should get around to watching Millennium Actress. Do it. But it is kinda boring sometimes... It's not boring. It's profound. Anyway, it was pretty but it felt kinda truncated for some reason... like it could have gone on for at least another minute or two. Oh, and feel special. I logge...

That would be great if, instead of Engrish, they have horribly mispronounced Japanese. :D Yeah, but I fear that it would be completely lost on most American audiences. I mean, most of the time only a native speaker can really distinguish between different dialects and accents--I mean, heck, Ryusuke...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know of anybody who doesn't like the series?

Paranoia Agent is an excellent series--it's especially insightful to keep in mind that the show basically stems from the idea of (I think) psychosomatic illness as a means of escape--a kid doesn't want to go to school, so he pretends to be sick--eventually, he actually becomes physically ill. That's...

Re: Adult Swim new pick ups

I have to say, I'm really surprised that Adult Swim got Paranoia Agent. I hope that does well. Seconded... though considering they got FLCL and GITS, it's actually not terribly surprising that they're risking this one. I'm scared of the edits though... there are so many things in there--nudity, chi...

If you haven't seen FLCL yet, it's a must--it's not quite so dark though. And if you like books, I highly recommend Mark Danielewski's House of Leaves. It's got a very similar tone to Paranoia Agent. *looks at Maromi plushie on monitor fondly*

Yeah... but fortunately Shaman King was one of the ones they've released uncut. Sure, it's one of the crappiest DVD releases EVAR, but at least we fans have something to fall back on...

4Kids gets award

It's true. (source: http://animenewsnetwork.com/ ) Granted, my first reaction was, "Aaw, f*." I hate 4Kids as much as the next person. I can't think of any true otaku whose immediate reaction to 4Kids is, "Gee, I love 'em, they're the best licensing company EVAR" (well, except maybe in sarcasm). Bu...

A lot of stores like Best Buy sell anime. You might even be able to find it at, say, Borders (but probably for a greater price than even Best Buy). For the sake of a different opinion, I'll state that the series didn't do much for me personally. I found it to be "overly repetitive and redundant" for...
