And asshole housemates, but still...

For some reason they now show two episodes of Tenchi, so instead of it
ending at 6 like it should have, instead they start showing the TYING
UP ALL THE LOOSE ENDS episode immediately after, and then cunty
housemates demand to watch the Simpsons, even though it was a fucking
awful first season one with BAD DRAWINGS AND NO JOKES AND WEIRD
VOICES, with 'Adil' the Albanian despite Adil not being an Albanian
name. Anyway...

So tonight I watch Toonami, and they only show one episode of Tenchi,
and it's the one they showed this afternoon... and then... they show
the all the other Toonami shows which are ALL FOR FAGOTS, namely:

The New Adventures of Johnny Quest: With its dodgy computer-animated
bits, and the fact that Johnny is now a bit too old. And Haji no
longer is an amusing Indian stereotype. And it's badly drawn.

Gundam Wing: The most homoerotic cartoon I've ever seen.
(SAMPLE SCRIPT)
GAY BOY: Good bye!
FAGGOT: Bye!
GAY BOY'S SERVANT: Are you sure we should let him go? He may come back
to destroy us!
GAY BOY: Yes, but at least I'd get to see him again! Oh, my blonde
quiff is all in disarray!
(meanwhile, on the docks)
OLD MAN IN A HAWAIIAN SHIRT: I have fixed your mecha.
QUEER: Thanks! I look like a girl!
OLD MAN: Yes.
(over in an ambulance)
MANFACED LEZZA: Oh father! You're dying!
FATHER: I'm not your father! There is no way you could be my daughter,
you're more masculine than the heroes of this show!!!

DragonBall Z: The less said the better.

Batmang of the Futarrrrr: Every time I watch it I feel like writing an
amusing piss-take post. So, I shall.

I don't think they do show 2 episodes of Tenchi regular like, it's just that
ep 26 follows on from ep 25 directly, as in, in the middle of a sentence.
Here's a question, why do you live with people who don't fucking love
Tenchi? For fucks sake, I can honestly say, Tenchi has been the only thing
in my life for the past week or two that I've enjoyed. My life sucks.
Anyway... The episode, as you didn't see it, barely tied anything up at
all... I guess leading onto the next series... Such an excellent program,
and to make it better they ended with a sugary sweet J-pop love song type
thing, excellent.

Cartoon Network sucks also because it has to fucking put all the shows on
either 3 minutes early or late, so I miss the beginning or the end or
something, and also put fucking diabolically long adverts in. Watching
Tenchi today was made unbearable because of this.

Why is this Toonami? Really, I agree, it couldn't suck more.

>
> Gundam Wing: The most homoerotic cartoon I've ever seen.

My mate really enjoys this, infact he owns a Tall Geese T-shirt. I can't say
I hate it, the main program is it's divided up like this :

50% characters staring at each other
45% tense dialogue
5% Mech battles

Mech battles are the best thing about it and they are hardly ever in it...
And it's made worse by the dialogue sucking complete ass and making no sense
unless you've watched every episode ever and the ones that haven't been made
yet. And there not being one likable non fagot character.

>
> DragonBall Z: The less said the better.

yes. I once watched this program and 2 characters stared at each other
screaming and glowing progressivley brighter for 2 whole minutes. I think
you have to be brain dead to enjoy it.

> Batmang of the Futarrrrr: Every time I watch it I feel like writing an

The adverts for this make it look so fucking cool and gothic, and you watch
it and it's like they took the original Batman cartoon and put it through a
committiee of braindead dragonball Z watching children.

'Okay kids, how could we make batman cooler?''

'Uh, make him IN THE FUTURE!'
'Yeah, and... make him an annoying teen!'
'And... Make him look completely crap!'
'Don't forget to make the stories rubbish, and all the art look like it was
drawn by someone who once saw akira playing on a tv set in a house that his
train passed while his eyes were half closed, and remove every 3rd frame of
animation, and make it so people who liked the old batman now have no idea
what is going on and why, and make all the charaterisation as good as that
in Gundam!'

There is no god.

Without getting into a huge debate about Tenchi (so please don't go
encouraging me) when Tenchi was about to leave to save Ayeka and Ryoko
begged him not to go I WISHED I WAS HIM so I could have said 'don't
worry I'll come back' and given her a BIG SNOG.

As for why I live with people who don't love Tenchi? Because they're
shit. They like Dream Team, Eastenders, and Sex in the City.

And they show the same Woolies ad twice in the same break.

>Why is this Toonami? Really, I agree, it couldn't suck more.

I remember when it was first shown in Canada on YTV. It lasted one
season. I mean, what made the original so good was... ummm... well,
what makes it good now is the kitschy charm.

ROTFEL!!! Yes, good anime is good even if you can't hear it. I watched
all of Angel Cop 3 and 4 without the sound once and it was really
fascinating stuff.

>yes. I once watched this program and 2 characters stared at each other
>screaming and glowing progressivley brighter for 2 whole minutes. I think
>you have to be brain dead to enjoy it.

I remember, a few years ago, when I went around France on holiday. DBZ
was on every morning, and I watched it. Over the two-odd weeks we were
on holiday, with a new episode every morning, they had: ONE FIGHT. IT
TOOK TWO WEEKS TO HAVE ONE LOUSY FIGHT. Mostly because they would just
stand there, scream, glow, then unleash some huge energy attack that
either a) sends their opponent flying to the end of a smoking 50 mile
crater, or b) deflected without their opponent ever moving a muscle.
All the other characters just stood around and talked about the fight.

Yes. Batman the animated series was excellent, and from there it sadly
went downhill. I mean, Batman and Robin, and Superman were both nice
ideas, but didn't have the same spark as Batman. Especially the
episode where Harley kidnaps this general's daughter and he's going
nuts chasing her around the city in a tank.

>There is no god.

Yes, well, in case you missed my original BATMAN OF THE FUTURE script,
I've just posted another one.

Yes. My deep wish to be an anime character (or basically just Tenchi) has
become disturbingly prevalent in my head. Why can't I be having fantastic
adventures in space with a huge gang of hot women, my dad, grandfather and
this great rabbit cat thing? Why can't I be the special 'chosen one'? I'm so
sad.

ARRGH!

Sounds like my room mate actually. Oh well... At least... Actuall, no, all
those programs suck, all the time.

> And they show the same Woolies ad twice in the same break.

I hate ads that do that, OR they show an ad that's cunningly split into two
sections, incase you maybe decide to buy the product, and forget in the
space of the next ad, or something. Most enraging currently is that
Cadburys ad telling us all to enjoy life and eat chocolate, like it's some
sort of public service announcement, like we're supposed to watch the ad and
go, 'gosh, life isn't so bad after all, and cadburys really care about me,
not just as a customer' when life obviously sucks and cadburys would come
into your house, and rape your mother while stealing all your possesions if
they could. And choclate only helps if you want to be really, really fat,
and as I've already stated, I want to be Tenchi, not fat.

> I remember when it was first shown in Canada on YTV. It lasted one

I have no idea if Cartoon Network actually get any feedback on the shows
they show, I mean, they don't show Space Ghost any more and they show shit
like that, who enjoys it, honestly? And Johnny Quest... Well, I can't say
the kitchy charm of it was ever as good as the kitchy charm of any other
Hanna Barbera cartoon.

> I have a tiny minature toy of one of the Gundams, although I can't say

I have several gundam snap together kits which I built while on holiday in
Malaysia, which they sold for about 4 dollars each (about, like, a pound)
and now they sell the exact same kits in comic stores for a tenner... The
ones I have are still cool, but they are all obscure ones which will have
probably never been in the show, being that they are all spangly and weird
and (Excellently) super-deformed.

> ROTFEL!!! Yes, good anime is good even if you can't hear it. I watched

Haven't seen Angel Cop, but you are right, Anime, more than other animated
series/films can be enjoyed purely for the art, be it comic or serious or
(usually) both.

Yes. It's good in one way that you can go on holiday for a month, come back
and they are still fighting the same fight, rubbish in that, well, it sucks.
I don't know, sometimes it's hilarious (if you watch it with people) but as
a story it just sucks and it's like a boring kiddie Fist of the North Star,
which rocks because it's so bad/good. Dragon ball's weird idea that all the
other characters do commentary for the fight is highly confusing, you think
they'd be helping, or at least doing something else, like, going to
woolworths, or eating cadburys delicious chocolate.

I only really liked Batman, I'd go as far to say that everything else in the
same vein has just sucked. And Harley Quinn was such a fucking great
character, and definetly not someone I should be sexually attracted to, oh
no.

> Yes, well, in case you missed my original BATMAN OF THE FUTURE script,

Very realistic, and highly amusing, particualry the Wheatus inspired
moments. I bet you could have kept that up all the way though the script.

Sod, it was a great episode. Tenchi, that is. Even better, we later
watched Spaced and I was the happiest I have evar been.

So many people tell me it is l33t. No, it's rubbish. They just watch it
because it's anime and has big robots, and must therefore be 'cool'.
Dragon Ball is also awful.

It's always funny when they mess up and show an entire advert break of just
one advert over and over again. I remember this happening when I was very
little (so little my mum was helping me to get dressed at the time, but I
had requested this be done downstairs so I could watch cartoons) and they
had the same Transformers ad on loads of times, and then recently round
Abby's house they did one of those claims direct ads or something, which
looped about forty or fifty times before they stopped it and put TV back on.
HUM0R.

I risk encouraging you. I was so pissed off with that, I just wanted Ryoko to
kiss him or take him away or anything. BUT NO. And the end of the episode left
me in utter despair for 24 hours.

Bring back Space Ghost, before I go insane! It's equally as bad as Sci Fi not
showing Mystery Science Theatre 3000 any more. In fact, tv is blatantly not
showing stuff I like, I hate it.

Stop it.

You're scaring me.

Tenchi is great and makes me understand what Square is trying to do in Final
Fantasy games by having, like, 9 characters in a game thats hundreds of
hours long, it seems like too many characters and too long, but, Tenchi has
loads of characters and you like them all (well, I do) because they all have
personality, and the whole story is hours and hours long and it works really
well. However, It just makes the fact that Square have failed so badly at
making this work like it does in Tenchi quite apparent. I think they need
better writers.

I missed Spaced, just forgot about it. However, I'll watch it tonight. I
like it far more than I used to.

The thing is, Gundam by all rights really should be l33t, the problem is the
story is rubbish while the setting is good. I like the art and occasionally
the directions quite clever and mood setting, then the stupidly large cast
of characters ruin it by talking boring fagot rubbish and not being involved
in Mech battles. Considering that, Maybe Square watch Gundam rather than
Tenchi.

its something to do with how our memory works, we remember stuff at the
beginning and end of advert breaks better than the rest, so they put their
adverts into two halves, one at the beginning, one at the end.

and Chocolate contains serotonin (spelt horribly wrong I think, and I'm
meant to know this. cuss.), which makes you happy. But it still makes you
fat (and not Tenchi obv.)

Also: at least you have channels other than terrestial, SO DON'T COMPLAIN.

so, to summarise:

2. We are *meant* to talk about games, although for no given (real) reason,
we just are meant to.
3. We're the only people in the world who observe netiqette (sp?), which
doesn't have a real reason for its existence.
4. We insult people by telling them that they have cats.
5. We're all opinionated snobs on games consoles, which we don't talk about
in here. (See 2.)
6. We're all sad fucked up pricks with no life, because we don't like you.
7. We're all really unpopular with the girls, and are of the opinion that
people can't be girls unless they've shagged us. [1]
8. We ask for gay sex with Tenchi.
9. We're all gay.
10. We can't say that people in computer games / Tv programs look gay.

As if you watch it you can understand that there is a rather complex

Dragonball Z is sometimes the BEST THING EVAR. I just wish they'd get around
to showing newer episodes with the android women and stuff.

Although, yes, when you watch 10 episodes, and the same battle is STILL
GOING ON, with only about 7 moves performed, this is greatly tedious. But
it's still great.

Can't say I was here then, but I'm sure there was a good reason for any
cussage you got. If there wasn't at the time, then everone here can
obviously see the future and tell how SHIT YOU ARE.

"sentance"? Good English.

at 17, I have to say that that is pretty obviously false. and we're not the
ones who have to spend their spare time attemping (failing) to offend people
on a newsgroup.

yet again, you think its an insult to call us gay, yet think you're not

Yes, I cuss Tenchi extremely bad for having the BEST GIRL EVER living
with him (Ryoko) but being THE MALE EQUIVALENT OF FRIGID and instead
having a sort of thing for the MOST ANNOYING GIRL EVER (Aeka). I mean,

Let me rephrase: I checked the TV guide THE OTHER DAY, noticed it was
repeated...
Your time-understanding problems must lead to fun while reading Bulmer's

That's what makes it great, is you wish you were him, because unlike
him you know he wouldn't mess it up, and watch in the hope that maybe
at some point he'll stop arsing around and have bumsex with Ryoko or
something. While Mihoshi and Kiyone watch whilst diddling each other,
and Ryo-Ohki (she's a cabbit, btw) sticks a carrot up Sasami's ass.
Aeka will, of course, just sit there crying going 'Tenchi' because
she's a wuss.

Post Tom and Jerry, the only thing any Hanna Barbera things are good
for is listening too, as the dialogue is always excellent in spite of
the pitiful music and animation. I mean, just the other day with Fred
and Barney running a Drive Inn

YOU HAVE BROKEN MY BRAIN.

Noooo! It's just like Dave ruining a scene in Aladdin for me by making a
suggestive comment about it. I can no longer watch it again. I smack you both.

Why? Haven't you seen the episode with Mihoshi and Kiyone BATHING
TOGETHER, NUDE? Those swimsuits are just hastily added by Cartoon
Network to avoid offending tender sensiblities like yourself. Although
the carrot-up-the-ass and Ryoko having bumsex... well, that'll never
happen outside an h-dojinshi.

I suppose I shouldn't tell you two of the Sailor Senshi in Sailor Moon
are lesbianists.

Ryoko is my hero of sorts, she is mighty strong and has big hair, etc. And has an
excellent spaceship which is also a damn furry cabbit thing which in the OVA is also
a humanoid furry cabbit thing on times. Greatness. Aeka annoys me muchly.

I wish Tenchi would be a natural bloke though, and fancy at least one of the girls.
Unless he fell for Sasami, was that would be Wrongness indeed.

Yes. Although she is tough and strong and powerful she also has a good
and sensitive side.

Yes. Typically for the FUCKING SPOILED LITTLE RICH BRAT that she is
she acts all sweet and gentle and innocent but as soon as she doesn't
get her way she throws a hissy fit.

Maybe he's gay. Yes, he was meant to be in Gundam Wing but they said
they were full up with woofters already, and he couldn't scream and
glower enough to get onto DBZ.

>Unless he fell for Sasami, was that would be Wrongness indeed.

Well, there are implications that this sort of happens. Like the one
where Ryoko and Nagi had the big fight in the western town, and at the
end of it Aeka and Ryoko were both mad that 'Sasami got to [Tenchi]
first!'.

Talking of worthwile dreams, I played NiGHTS for the first time EVAR today.
It is fun. And I was getting pissed off with the first boss and after I
died fighting him for the second time it gave me a hint on how to beat him.
This is a good thing. I hate bosses in games. I'll have to play again and
try the hint out soon, assuming my Saturn still works when I turn it back
on. It normally takes me about five minutes of fiddling with cables to get
my TV to recognise the Saturn's existence.

No, I know they're nude, it doesn't bother me. I laugh at the thought that anyone
could think that those swim suits weren't digitally added. It also makes no sense,
one OVA episode had a whole joke about Ryoko stealing Ayeka's towel and thus
revealing her to Tench. How can that be when she is wearing a bathingsuit? It's
pointless then. It's like, if someone took your shoe and said, "Ah HA! Look what I
did, isn't that funny?" I hate it when anime are changed to avoid harming the
kiddiewinks. They should have kept the nudity, and pissed parents off. Har.

Some manga were supposedly banned from a store chain in America, as a dad picked up a
kids comic and saw a nude child inside. It was immediately classed as child porn or
something, without them thinking, "oh, there are big cultural differences between
here and Japan. Nudity is not as huge a taboo in general there." I doubt the
picture was even vaguely sexual, just a bath scene. Can't remember the whole story
though.

But the carrot bit you mentioned made me say 'ew', etc.

There's all sorts going on in Sailor Moon. Wasn't a villain given a sex change when
the series went to the US, because he was in love with another bloke?

You are correct (about the wish to 'be' Tenchi making the program great, not
about the Hentai) It's just so excellent.

And It barely matters that Ryo-Ohki is a 'cabbit'. All I know is that they
better start genetically engineering them... Actually! Shit! wait, I think
they sell stuffed ones in my local forbidden planet. But can I buy one? I
suppose it will class me as a heinously geeky otaku type... But maybe if
it's not to expensive.

Good point... However 'The Jetsons' is complete crap. The Flintstones had
it's moments (well, of course, until the arrival of that green alien guy)...
I don't know... I was just never as much of a fan of H-B as I was of Looney
Tunes.

> Duckman without the sound is surprisingly good.

Yeah, but Duckman is really 'made' by the dialogue, not that I'm saying
anime has shit dialogue (well, sometimes it does) but if I was to watch
Duckman without sound I'd feel like I was missing something, rather than
just being able to enjoy the animation.

Fist of the North Star - Class. Pure Class. It's just the great way the
character (I forget his name) will jump in the air, cry the name of the move
(something ridiculous) and land, before the bad guy laughs and says 'ha ha!
you will never defeat me' and then going 'urk!!' and his head exploding
because his secret pressure point had been touched. Brilliant, there's a
site on the web that has all of the moves and pressure points used in the
Fist of the North Star series and they include moves that teach you
sanskrit, among other things.

Har.

Well, it's believable, considering Japanese people are kind of weird about
nudity, i.e. very inconsistent on the issue. But had they kept the nudity
at any point, we have to face facts, we wouldn't be seeing it at all, well,
maybe the odd occasion on the Sci-Fi channel, but they'd just pull it as
soon as it turned out it was good (I still hurt due to the MST3K thing)

It's happening across the US, and not just to manga. Fundamentalist loonies
forget that the constitution protects free speech, and that includes art. A
lot of comics are being banned, or classed as obscene... I can't remember
the website but there is one that has a lot of cases of such things
happening. I'll find it, sooner or later.

Anyway, I doubt even Hentaied Ryo-Ohki would do anything with a carrot other
than eat it, that hilarious little ragamuffin! So feel better.

Yes. And I can't remember the names of the lesbianist sailors... However,
they look it. (they don't wear regulation sailor senshi uniform. It's vests,
dungarees, shaven heads for them.)

Sailor moon is terrible, yet again, vaguely watchable, even though I'm
embarrased to watch it. Theme song's good, isn't it? and Tuxedo mask... I
can't hear the name but fall in hysterics.

Also I'm in love with Sailor Mercury. There, I said it, I feel better. I'm
glad it's off my chest.

What, me as well?

I didn't do it, I don't advise you to watch 'Shock Video' with Adam and Joe
on E4, I read Branch's post then watched that, and if Branch's post broke
your brain both forms of evil would probably cause your head to explode as
if I touched your secret pressure point (hoi, only I'm allowed to touch

Also I have to live with a brain that thinks stuff like wot Branch types

I don't know... I think she's deeper than that, really. I find her quite
funny. The show wouldn't have dynamic if both characters weren't at each
others throats all the time, but because of that I don't think Aeka shows
her other side as much, but it is there...

Fuck, what am I doing, I'm debating this like they are real people.

Hmm

Real enough to me.

Here's the thing - Tenchi is pretty natural, really for

a) A mixed up male japanese teen
b) me.

Because, frankly, if I was there, I'd be like him. We can gauge that before
all this happened Tenchi was shy around girls and is, what, 17? 17 we'll
say. Even now I'd be the same. I'd be terrified of Ryoko's blantant
advances and be a bumbling, unsure fool almost all of the time. I'd
understand my duty, as Tenchi does, but I'd still be a fuck up. He does
fancy the girls, I'd say, he's just really, really scared of those feelings,
and scared of the girls. It's probably the reason why I like it so much, and
probably the reason it's (ahem) 'big in japan'.

Well, Sasami grows up to look like Tsunami, who is hot. So... If Sasami is
about, what, fuck, it's hard to tell ages in anime... We'll say 10. It's
imaginable that in 10 years if Tenchi has some how managed to save his
chastity till then... In one of the OVA episodes Ryoko and Aeka are VERY
worried about this...

In other news, did anyone see 'Mihoshi's Space Adventure'? That episode is
absolutely brilliant and contains a wicked piss take of sailor moon, very
clever.

Unfortunately the Western World has this whole thing about cartoons
being just for kids. Hence all tentacle pr0n, sexx0r anime and violent
anime has to have huge ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR CHILDREN labels. In case the
cover picture of a naked schoolgirl getting a green tentacle up the
ass wasn't warning enough.

It was probably My Neighbour Totoro, which is a family anime but the
family bathes together. Which isn't odd in Japan.

That was the point.

Possibly. Although I was disappointed to discover it wasn't Mercury
and Jupiter, as they are the two fit ones.

>STOP CHANGING STUFF IN CARTOONS FROM JAPAN.

Well, Samurai Pizza Cats (which has to be the MST3k of translated
anime) wisely left the fact that the villain, Big Cheese, was a
transvestite.

Don't be so sure. I saw hentaied Sailor Moon where Usagi is being
licked out by Luna the cat, and Ami is using her moon wand as an
impromptu anal dildo.

I have the first music CD. Muahaha. Possibly because I was amused by
the distributor, DiC, putting 'the magical world of DiC' on the back.
You've had a lot of DiC, had a lot of DiC...

I find her just annoying, because she does have deep inside the same
naughtiness as Ryoko, she just never thinks to use it.

He's 18 I think... not that it makes much difference. The thing is,
though, considering how long he's been around the girls, especially
Ryoko, as he got comfortable being around them I think it's
increasingly likely that he'd start fancying her.

I mean, girls who come on strong can be intimidating at first, but
she's made it pretty clear it's genuine interest. Once you understand
that in a girl, there's no reason you shouldn't respond. I mean, Aeka
is also mad for him but she doesn't ever show it in the same way that
Ryoko does, so no wonder the poor boy is confused because hers is a
much less mature form of love... while Ryoko knows not only what she
wants but how to go about getting it, Aeka has more of a childlike
crush in that she wants SOMETHING from Tenchi but isn't sure what it
is herself.

Well, Sasami is impossibly sweet and kind, unlike her sister who is
selfish and whiny. She sees Tenchi as being like a big brother, and he
probably sees her as a younger sister... but as you said, in 8 years
or so...

Yes, it was excellent, except I happened to be watching it with my mom
and thus had to explain not only all the characters but also that this
IS NOT the normal way the show proceeds.

You can buy then. They are soft and IMPOSSIBLY CUTE. In fact, the only
thing greater than them would be real-life versions of those little
robot Ryoko things in 'Space Investigator Mihoshi's Adventure', or of
course, my long dreamed SD Plush Talking Nene Romanova doll.

Looney Tunes was excellent until about 1960 when it just lost it. I
find that cartoons don't do enough things showing what life is like
without getting all cultural with references nobody will get in 20
years time. I mean, look at the backgrounds in Tom and Jerry or Looney
Tunes... classic stuff.

Yes, that's right. Anime loves that, where guys run at each other then
jump and they land and then one of them dies. Like in Tenchi when the
evil knight guy landed and laughed and then suddenly his stomach
exploded.

I was going to say that Hentai should at least try and stay true to the

If you think about it, it's really rather acceptable that one or two might
be lesbians - I mean, really, consider it, if we accept 'this life' or
'queer as folk' after 9pm and homosexual stories in eastenders etc. before,
why not in a cartoon? If anything it breeds acceptance of alternative
lifestyles, particulary in children where it's most needed (children are our

There's just something about Mercury... Maybe it's her blue hair and her

Beast pr0n is indeed unpleasant, as I have seen far too many manga of
girls being raped by dogs, including one which even grapically
depicted the doggie knot making a big visible lump in her abdomen.
Tentacles are okay.

>However, just there I was considering how bizzare Ranma 1/2 hentai could be.

I read some Ranma hentai story where Shampoo gets magic Okonomiyaki
sauce that makes whoever eats it go mad and try to devour as much of
it as possible. So she lets Ranma taste it and then pours some on
herself. Unfortuantely Akane also has some... and as they fight over
who gets to lick it off Shampoo she spills water on Ranma, leading to
a 3-way lesbian orgy.

Yes, but in Sailor Moon they're meant to be 14.

Yes, you'd want to actually be gentle and nice to her, because she's
the quiet one and you just want to be nice and snuggle the ones like
that. Jupiter, on the other hand, you'd want to go skating or biking
or swimming or something active with.

They should have a channel like 'The Box' where they have obscure

Yeah. Same goes for comics - Sure, in Japan everybody young or old sits on

Samurai Pizza Cats was brilliant. Truly one of the greatest things ever.

I like to imagine that the untranslated original is this really sober, Ghost
in the Shell style think fest all about the meaning of life and such like
and it's been butchered into submission in an excellent fashion.

I really hope cartoon network pick it up.

However, I went into Forbbiden Planet today and they didn't have it any
more. So, I bought the Todd 'I used to write crappy comics now I make super
skillo figures, as long as you don't like points of articulation or figures
that stand up without support' McFarlane Ryoko and Ryo-Ohki figure and it's
truly fantastic, really nice.

Yet I broke her force sword thing as soon as I got it out the packet because
it's so crappily made, just like the extra bit from when your finished
making your Gundam model and you have the bit that all the pieces were stuck
to, well It's like that bit, as it's all bendy and snaps. So now I have a
force sword without the stupid little ball in the handle, it fits in her
hand better and looks better (to me) and won't bend, so maybe I did myself a
favour.

I'll just get myself one of those Ryo-Ohki plushes if I ever go to Japan,
which I'm going to do, one day.

Correct about Looney Tunes, look at the crap they put out today (this does
not include Freakazoid WHICH SHOULD STILL BE ON and some of animaniacs) You
are right though, Tom + Jerry will always be classic, even Futurama does all
this 'look, we are referencing the 20th century IN THE 3OTH!' shit. It's
like how no one finds Lenny Bruce funny because unless you lived in the 60s
it makes next to no sense. Still brilliant, you just have to have a history
degree. What culture are we leaving in the western world for the future to
look back on as great?

NOTHING MUCH WITH SHIT LIKE 'SEX IN THE MOTHER FUCKING CITY' ETC.

Duckman : Sex. Always.

Cornfed : Something really, really droll.
Fluffy and uranus : Pain, Pain, Make the hurting stop! etc.

I wish battles were like that in real life.

'Did you spill my pint?'
'Yes'
<goes to punch by jumping in the air with loads of speedlines>
'don't bother, I've already touched your secret pressure point'
'what? You will never defeat ARRGH'
<blood and brains go everywhere>

It also makes me think about how you'd think that there would be a manga
style fighting game, I mean, you'd think at least, being turn based Square's
RPGS would have all these cool camera angles, speed lines etc, but they
don't. And stuff like the Dragon Ball Z fighting games just suck ass (the
screen splits in 2 so you can fly about miles from your opponent!)

Someone should rectify this, obviously a western game developer since people
like Hideo Kojima are so obsessed with making western movie style games.

That's acceptable. I like her because she gets angry alot, and manga

This is true, and there is NO CHARACTERISATION in that fucking program (dear

Gundam Wing...

Well, Tenchi is completely unexperienced and gets instantly trapped in a
weird love triangle (or some sort of polygon, anyway) Lets just say if it
happened to me I'd probably need about 3 series just to work out what the
fuck was going on. And after 3 we hit the movie 'Tenchi Muyo in love', i
think, so I guess he works it out...

Let's just say it wouldn't take me 8 years to work it out, even at maximum.

I watched the final episode of Tenchi Universe with my mum in the room, and
I really didn't bother to explain it, as being the final episode it's barely
worth it. It does make me feel uneasy though... Part of me still worries
about the fact I'm 19 and still enjoy cartoons, comic books, etc... Even
though it's obviously not a problem, it's just a western stigmata.

However Mihoshi's Space Adventure is great, not only because the Sailor Moon
piss take was unexpected and very clever, just because of the brilliant
'Aeka dishes out table based pain' action sequence and lines like 'Will
Inspector Tenchi keep his chastity??!' and 'And then the mysterious magician
saved us'

and the great bit at the end where Aeka goes 'and I wonder who the magician
was?' and Sasami's 'Yes, I wonder who! <wink>' it was just so clever.

Yeah, but that's because tentacles almost always just look like big bendy
cocks. If Octopuses or squid looked like that the sea would be way more
dangerous than it is now, and freaky. Rape manga I hate - There is a lot of
it as well. Infact, loads of Hentai is rape. Too much real life sexual
repression, probably.

Yeah, but consider female Ranma getting fucked, and druing it having hot

That is the best idea ever. Except it isn't, unless you made sure the
listing was properly obscure, otherwise it would be

'So what's on 'Super Program Pick channel 47'?'
'Uh... That S Club 7 program'
'AGAIN? IT'S BEEN ON FOR 3 WEEKS NON STOP!'

Today I was talking to a friend about how you'd think sky would at least
have a public access channel, that would be great, it stemmed from how
programs like Bits are just shit and look like they were made on 20 quid, I
mean, last time it got watched the competition was 'If video game characters
were lighting farts, who's would be the deadliest?' Fucks sake, if channel
four gave me 20 quid and a camcorder I could make a better program.

Public access would probably raise the standard of the other programs as
they realised uneducated yahoos were making programs as good as they were.

Yes, and also rape is a popular Japanese fetish. As are huge willies,
to the point that they used to make giant strap-on willies for men to
let them live out this fantasy.

Something more painful than you can possibly imagine.

Actually... I find it's not that hard... they're somewhat
underdeveloped in Sailor Moon, hence they're young teens. Sasami is
little, but not too little, hence she's 10. Chibi-Chibi Moon is tiny,
hence she's 5. Sylvia Stingray is 28 or something, hence she looks
OLD.

Yup. Mostly because a) the only comics you can get from a newsstand in
this country are the bloody Beano, and b) people here stare at you if
you're doing anything apart from sitting, hands clasps, looking at
your shoes.

>Samurai Pizza Cats was brilliant. Truly one of the greatest things ever.

Absolutely. I have many episodes on tape, although I hope I never
taped over the baseball one just for this:

BIG CHEESE: Okay, that's the plan. And now that's settled let's do a
little song and dance number shall we?

(he is suddenly wearing a kimono and makeup)

BIG CHEESE: And a one!
JERRY ATRIC: And a two! I'm right there beside ya Cheesy boy!

Actually, from what I've seen it was a bit nutty but basically what
Saban did (probably) was sit down and watch the episode with a
synopsis of the plot but made up all the dialogue as they went along.

I remember seeing the Ryoko figure and thinking 'MUST GET' but then it

You forgot to mention that no McFarlane figure is capable of gripping

Yes, but they're also showing that no matter what, humanity stays

Land' bit where Fry goes into the subway and goes to sleep under a
newspaper and when Leela tries to wake him up he shouts gibberish and

Yes, there isn't really a defining culture of the 90s, is there? The
20s was all art deco and gangsters and STYLE, the 30s was all
depressing and dark, the 40s was all war and women called Dolores, the
50s was all consumerism and big cars, the 60s was all funky style and
bad hair, the 70s was all bad music and worse hair, the 80s was all
extravagance and awfulness (and impossibly bad hair). Then the 90s
starts out with grunge moshing, then for a few years was all hip and
bright and comic booky (look at 1995 and 96 for movies... Tank Girl,
Batman Forever, Judge Dredd) and Designer's Republic, then it
concludes with everything being www.com

>NOTHING MUCH WITH SHIT LIKE 'SEX IN THE MOTHER FUCKING CITY' ETC.

Yes, especially given they're all OLD, Sarah Jessica Parker IS A

Yes. This sickens me. The Japanese are ace at making action/fighting

Meanwhile the Americans are ace at... well, something, and what do we
get? Oni.

The reason the eyes are made large is because when proper comics were
first introduced to Japan in the 1930s, all the characters at the time
had large eyes so the Japanese assumed this was the way. Also,
characters with small eyes are usually seen as being sneaky and evil.

Also, the reason they all have simplistic facial features is so that
it somehow makes it easier to identify with a character's emotional
and facial expressions, and thus the character.

It is the way of the West that people will love the worst and
stupidest anime (DBZ, Gundam, etc) while the best stuff (Tenchi, Oh My
Goddess!, BGC) goes ignored.

Well, not really. You've seen it, right? Aeka and Ryoko both notice
how much Tenchi's dad looked like Tenchi when he was young, so when
they go back in time they're in love with him as well. And the love
isn't so much between them and Tenchi, it's between Tenchi's dad and
his mom. They're just there to protect her from this super-spirit
criminal who's escaped and gone back in time to kill her (because
she's a Jurai descendant). In fact, it's just a feature-length
standard Tenchi story, with Aeka and Ryoko fighting, while Tenchi
spends most of his time with Sasami (since he can't let his own mother
see him).

>Let's just say it wouldn't take me 8 years to work it out, even at maximum.

Okay, maybe 5, but beyond that we're getting sick. No, wait, in Japan,
the age is 14.

I watched that same episodewith my housemate in the room and I didn't
even bother trying to explain it either, since he's a tosser and it
would take too long to explain it. He thought it was a rubbish show
because of the way everyone (the knights) kept falling over dead. But
then, he's the one who watches Dream Team.

You should NOT BE ASHAMED of liking comics and cartoons... I'm 21 and
although my father despises the fact I like them, my mother positively
encourages it. I mean, if anything, I'll be better able to relate to
my own kids if I ever have any.

Yeah, but rape being a popular fetish is just fucked up. 'Wow, fucking a

Giant strap ons? Mohh. More for the wives than the men, me thinks. (Unless

Well, yeah, it's not too hard, but it's not like I debate in my head whether
it would be alright to fuck this character or not, or anything. I just think
sailor Mercury is cute, that's all.

Yeah and I noticed how anyone over 20 is ancient looking in anything
Japanese, it's like, all jap games have to have characters under this age or
else they are old guys with long mustaches and stuff.

Yes. 'Tufty Club' was a work of sheer genius, as was 'American Beautoy'.
However, more good stuff along these lines are needed.

But wait! Adam and Joe's 'Take Over TV' surely that will have some sort of
good repercussions.

Well, it will if the site would work for me.

> Have you never seen Public Access shows from North America? Oh MAN!

Yes I have. However... Consider, have you never seen North American TV? It's
terrible too...

Actually that defeats my point because TV sucks everywhere, Public Access or
not.

Ooh, wait, the site's working now.

I hate how all these sites now use flash and shit, like www.mtv2.co.uk is
all gayed up with it... Hmm... Well, Take Over TV doesn't seem that
revolutionary, it's probably just going to be sub-US Public Access quality
clips of idiots doing sub Trigger Happy TV stunts, however the release form
seems clear enough and I can borrow a camera...

Watch this space!

Or don't!

No, several teen movies have told me that! Like that heart warming movie

And 'Save the Last Dance' is out soon, which as well as being a throwback to
the 30s practically in a heinously racist to, well, everyone, also tells us

'The only way to fit in, is to be yourself'

TiVo is this: The Best Thing Ever. It really does completely change how you
watch TV. But you have to spend a few hours using one to realise just how
good it is.

A 20-hour model (enough for me) is $300. And then $10 a month (or $250

Not yet, but this may be in version 3.0 of the software.

I have episodes 13 and 14 on my TiVo. I tried watching episode 13 but

Hey! The beano is technically part of my cultural history, and what got me
into comics in the first place. However, uh, it's obviously shit if you are
over 10, and it's doing really badly anyway now. 2000ad is available
everywhere and is sometimes VERY VERY class, or at least, it was years ago
when I read it. Now it's 1.40 a week, which translates as a lot of money a
year, which means my saturdays are no longer the same as the ones I spent
getting 2000ad and reading it on a lazy afternoon. Sob.

You're right though, do anything at all on any form of public transport,
people think you are the devil. Reading a comic? OUTLAWED. listening to
your discman? OUTLAWED. etc etc etc.

Toonami should be it's own channel, showing nothing but crazy jap stuff, in

I got it for £9.99, which was pleasing. It really is a nice display piece,
unlike, say, a Star Wars figure anyone would be interested by this and not
class it as geeky. It's going to distract me too much while I study,
probably.

Ryoko can hold her 'weapon' which is just a glowy stick thing, really, but
actually not properly unless you, uh, modify it like I did.

Ash can't hold anything properly, Snake Plissken can, however the figure is
fucked up, as you need to pop his fucking arms off (??) to put his jacket
on.

Uh, I thought you meant how you can always find Tom and Jerry funny, I mean,
watch it with someone who has no idea about the 40s and it's still funny,
even the ones (well, my favourites) where they are musketeers are excellent.
It's not the same as how, say, the Simpsons is excellent, but cameos and
shit, while funny, make no sense across time. Whatever. Both points are
accurate, I believe.

Don't get me wrong, I love Futurama (way more than the crapfest the Simpsons
has become) However, sometimes the 20th century jokes are too laboured in a
'wink at the camera' kind of way. It's great, and some of the jokes are very
clever (The recent 'Breakfast Club' based episode was very clever, and that
was referring to a time period before now which makes it even more
confusing. It was good though. However, that's probably due to my soft spot
for 80's John Hughes)

You forget happy hardcore etc, still continuing to this day, just in
buttfuck USA and no longer big fields here (probably due to foot and mouth!
Ho ho, hilarious topical comedy which will date this mail an incredible
amount should people read it in 2050)

I suppose when we get far enough away from the 90's well just imagine it had
a defining style, like how everyone thinks about the previous decades being
like that when they really weren't. Like, in 'the Wedding Singer' they just
cram all the good (bad) bits of the entire 80s into one film set in 85 (I
think).

Your knowledge of Duckman is frightening.

No. I've heard the one on the Dreamcast is good though. I suppose Capcom
games kind of, kind of do a kind of manga thing, but it's not how I envision
how good it could be. They're usually just Street Fighter except a bit
different. Which doesn't make them bad, just not revolutionary.

(note : Knowing nothing about Rival Schools, maybe it's completey different)

I'm actually playing through Metal Gear Solid for the first time just now, I
meant to play it rather than just post loads in this thread. I'm finding the
amount of dialogue unsufferable, considering my character acts nothing like
I would even vaguely act like and I don't even like him, considering he's
just a Kurt Russell cypher. The playable bits are good though... When you
get to them.

Americans are good at... Well, Lucas Arts were ace at graphic adventures,
but nothing else.

Uh, there are good things about the US, I just can't think of any at the
minute.

I contest this. The X-wing series of Star Wars games were goodness
incarnate.

Interesting information should I need to impress anyone I'm talking to about
it. I just love the art and style of the whole thing. Obviously there is a
lot more to manga than the most usual type we see, however, I can't help but
love the stereotype.

Haven't seen Oh My Goddess, actually... I need to explore more manga and
anime, but I have limited time and resources.

AIEE SPOILERS SPOILERS

ARRGH

I didn't read it, just skipped past it. However, I don't want to know. All
I've seen of Tenchi is most of Muyo! and most of Universe, however I've
missed quite a few episodes. I'm enjoying it, and can't wait to see the
later series, films, whatever.

I mean I'd work out if I'd really liked either Ryoko or Aeka in 8 years. If
I liked Sasami, well, then I'd wait (considering I'd know she'd grow up to
be a stone cold fox)

Arrgh. But that's what's cool and unique about it. D'oh!

I'm a mixed up fucked up bag of emotions. I don't know what I'm feeling most
of the time, however, you seem normal and are even older than me, so, hey, I
can't be doing too much wrong.

Yeah, surely there are ranges of super deformed Tenchi figures or plushes in
Japan? Probably. I'll get you one on my trip to get a Ryo-Ohki.

I shall fight my other half for ownership of the telly.

Between the PC, Dreamcast, and now watching cartoons, she's going to
give up on me soon. Mind you, that's inevitable once I get the
Transformers movie DVD, so no loss.

Although, she did profess to enjoy my CyberCity Oedo 808 DVD. I can
leverage this, I think.

Aak. Forgot about this.

You are right, except X-wing Vs Tie Fighter sucks the monkey's ball bag.

Should I be in a jockish mood, I'd tell you nothing, then hang your

Wait, she doesn't turn into a space ship? I've changed my mind.

However, the doll is cuteness incarnate.

Also they do have super deformed Tenchi figures, however, not one of Ryoko,
yet, and they aren't plush.

And in what order. There's about a million Tenchi DVDs around including
this (cut + paste required if using crap newsreader) -

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IBWR/qid=986428734/sr=1-
18/ref=sc_d_19/103-4505387-2005437

- which looks like the way to start off with the series, but I don't know
where to start.

See, if I had a Ryoko, it would have to be a soft toy to permit
non-painful huggage.
