I do have the original FMP series on disc precisely for the purpose of sharing with people, you know.

KickAssAnime, they've got a ton of series that they really shouldn't be letting people download any more...and it's 80% done now, so I'm nearly there

Yes well, technically everybody should grant Full Metal Panic the honour of being owned on DVD. But for those with limited budgets downloading it is an acceptable short-term measure. ¬_¬

I have now watched some of the new stuff, you reviewed, I haven't got round to tsubasa, school rumble or ergo proxy yet, but in all honesty, I don't think ergo proxy is gonna be my type of thing...
the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya is a classy beginning although i'm not sure it will sustain my interest.
Disgaea made me laugh, but from what i've heard, it isn't a patch on the game, allthough i think you've been meaner to it than it deserves, i mean i didn't end the first episode wanting to claw my eyes out or anything, i just didn't want anymore.
I'm a bit sad about xxxholic, it just struck me as really blah... and yuuko's boobs look REALLY weird... i'm sorry, but no one's chest is that shape! what is it with the japanese and weird boobs that have no basis in reality/gravity/logic.
Ouran high School Host Club. This is my favourite so far. and you're right, its definately more than a little fruits-basket esque.

Melancholy gets better with episodes in STRANGE ORDERS that provide confusion and intregue. Like in the previews when Haruhi says "Next, episode 2!" and Kyon says "No, it's episode 3", she's not lying. The fourth episode we see is chronologically episode 7, for example.
As far as I can gather something really big and freaky happened involving alien life forms, psychic manifestations, near-apocalyptic magic...or something like that...somewhere around episode 4 or 5. You keep getting little hints and even the occasional split-second flashback, but we're blatently not going to be shown that until near the end of the series. The cunning devils.

I've just watched the 6th episode of Melancholy (chronologically, episode 9) and they've ended it on a murder mystery cliffhanger. So which, chronologically, is the episode we're going to get next? Episode 8.
*shakes fist at their deviousness*

I noticed a lot of animé clips on YouTube...
find a couple for me, and I might have a clue as to what you're on about.

They generally have entire episodes. So if you just look up the anime title and pick an episode number...

I just watched the first ten minutes of Ergo Proxy... -why was that robot beating a guy up? - what's with all the masks? - how come everyone's so skinny? Maybe it's not worth bothering without subtitles in English

Post by stokerino on May 15, 2006 20:50:28 GMT
Uh, yeah...subtitles are useful...
Ergo Proxy makes limited sense WITH translation, let alone without.

I cannot understand your attendance of those things at all.
