I've never seen it, nor was I talking shit on it. It was simply the one piece of anime I remember being popular and it happened to be among the hipster-nerd crowd. said hipster-nerd crowd now lives in brooklyn and practices law with the ACLU so i pegged them pretty correctlyKEN-JENNINGS wrote:

You should watch it. It's got the standard fare for an anime, and the cinema is pretty fucking legit. Something to be said about building a 24 frame per second anime with the angles and cinematography completely controlled.Jay wrote:

i only ever watched it when it got bought-out by our cartoon network here in the uk and would be put on (double-bill!) in the mornings before school. pretty cool long-narrative to keep up with. though it was just repetitious bullshit, really. half of every episode was comic-book flickshots between two guy's faces with them shouting UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHNNNNNNNN or AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH or OOOOOOOOOOOOH or OHFUCKYESOHFUCKYESOHFUCKYESIMCOMINGYESYESOHGODDDDDDDDDDDDD so that they could shoot some huge load at the other guy and then collapse and light a cigarette as the credits rolled. it was pretty bogus.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
Wasn't his name like majan-boo?
I had friends in high school/college that followed dragon ball. Fucking nerds. They would buy the Japanese version with subtitles when it came out do they could be 6 months ahead and pretend like they were dapper dons when they were really weabo nerds
i tried to step up my game when i was like 13/14 and get into gundam wing, because naturally by that point i was reading hegel (or the oxford companion edition, written by dr. jay schubert, phd) and deleuze and shit and thought i should really start making my cartoons high-brow. gundam wing just lost me to its own convoluted plot after like 3 episodes. i gave up. those things have casts like war & peace, too. and none of them ever show any titties or get raped by octupus (octopii? is that a valid genre? multiple tentacled animals using multiple tentacles on singular orifices? email me ur reply asap)
bernards watch is a good shout. also the queens nose, and something called aquilla iirc?Uzique wrote:
hey teds what about bernard's watch? remember bernard's watch?
my uni group literally had a drunk-drugs session one day last year and tracked down that child actor on facebook. he's pimping some shitty business management degree at the university of leicester or something. had a display pic of him posing with all these girls in his SU like YES BITCHES I AM BERNARD. now that's what you call childhood.

also that show with the lady with the polka-dot plane that she'd LIKE REALLY ACTUALLY FLY AROUND AND REALLY ACTUALLY LAND and shit with a FUCKING DOG IN THE BACK. we had a running joke about that during our uni days cause throughout the whole series, looking back, all she'd do is fly to places like a fucking SAUSAGE FACTORY and give the driest fucking episode-long tour around some place in fucking milton keynes or something. same with bernard's watch... such amazing potential and all he'd end up doing is like fucking PAUSING ALL TIME to go hang out with an old dude at his house, doing jigsaw puzzles. british tv is weird.FatherTed wrote:
