yubsieAnime was pretty fun last night. Lots of Animaritime planningness because ACK CRUNCH TIME!
We watched Slayers. I am completely and utterly in LOVE with that series. As soon as Lina started going on about cliche dialogue, I knew I had to see the whole thing. Slayers and I are definitely a good fit. SO MUCH AWESOME!
After that, we watched Record of Lodoss War. It was interesting, though I'm not OMGINLOVe or anything. I wouldn't object to seeing more, but there are other things I will go out of my way to see first.
Then it was Narutaru, aka the series with the starfish thing. That series REALLY needs to decide what tone it wants to have. It keeps acting like it's going to be cute, and then do something really disturbing. Make up your mind!
Finally, we watched Final Fantasy Unlimited. It's kinda fun for the FF elements, but as a whole, really not that great a series. The excessive summoning sequences are gorgeous, but the bulk of the animation is quite blah. The story hasn't really drawn me in, and the characters are also pretty forgettable.
Got a lead on the ever elusive Shout It Out. I have a shmancier Bittorrent client that lets me choose which files from within a huge torrent I want to download, so I'm being the world's worst leecher. Well, except for the part where I'm uploading 8329308 times faster than I'm downloading. :p
And yes, I uploaded this icon EXPRESSLY to irritate Vicki. Because I COULD. :p

Date: 2006-01-08 05:56 pm (UTC)I take it you guys got a happy package from CPM. I love Slayers ^_^
Shadow Star is all about the disturbing, wierd Science Fiction stuff. It leans more towards that tone, though Shina's still pretty innocent, and Hoshimaru's still cute. Like I told neekabe, it's like Pokemon meets Evangelion, but even more emotionally traumatizing ^_^
PS- Thanks for the Animaritime placeness :) I got an e-mail about it

You're welcome!

Date: 2006-01-08 06:46 pm (UTC)They come in nice boxes too
I think Death is sold out, but these should be available at comic shops...
http://dccomics.com/dcdirect/?dcd=3494&lst=all&cat=OTHER Lil' Delerium!
http://dccomics.com/dcdirect/?dcd=3499&lst=all&cat=OTHER Morpheus and Daniel boxset!
DC still makes plushes from time to time, so hopefully they'll complete the set [I got Death 5 years ago, so it might take awhile for them to do more]

Date: 2006-01-09 05:58 am (UTC)Record of Lodoss War bugged me because they kept using that same footage of the goblin thing getting killed over and over and over and over. And because Parn was just too stupid to live.
FF Unlimited...GAH! Kaze needs to shut up, fire the stupid gun and then go back to brooding.
But Slayers is great. Make sure you watch Slayers Premium. It's great and was what originally got me interested in Slayers.

Those blasted sequences. They're pretty the first time, but after that they get so TEDIOUS. They're worse than Sailor Moon's blasted STICK!

At least in video games you can SKIP the summoning sequences after awhile.
