Furikuri (FLCL), Tsurumaki's baby. After seeing a robot with a TV set for a head emerge from the cranium of a teenage Japanese boy, I've been convinced that I never, never want to do any non-prescription drugs. Sadly, that is only the icing on the cake as far as this anime's unprecendented weirdness goes.

I'll check the DVD situation on Gunbuster, m'kay? You forced me into it, you rotten slave driver, you.

Don't make me get out my crop.

No, I only just came up with that particular one. I'm still meaning to dress one of the Evas up in the infamous uniform; I vow to Sharp-kun that, one day, I will. And it will be good.

Offhand, dang, you're mean, for dragging poor Soluzar into the same cheesecake-filled mire into which you've already dragged me.

You should see the other thing I'm making him watch. :maniacal laughter:

Sounds like fun... Incidentally, I've had something reccomended to me that sounds fun, recently. Not strictly an anime, but still a 'toon, have either of you two heard of Megas XLR? It sounds daft, but fun. Hardly worthy entertainment, but I had a good giggle at the concept... Depending on how much silliness you need in your life (and I know that for Reichu, she's probably suffering from a surplus, since I showed up round these parts! ) you might want to check out the Cartoon Network's site.

Don't make me get out my crop.

Promises, promises...

Aww, let the lad enjoy at least one pleasure in life without it being given the Reichu treatment!
You already ruined Asuka as ...fanboy enjoyment material! Not that I minded that... I personally wish that somebody out there enjoys drawing nasty scrawny old women, a la the granny in Maison Ikkoku, and putting them in Red Plugsuits. To be an Asuka fanboy is to deserve all you get in my book.

's OK, Stuffdude. I don't think I mind much... I've pretty much given my permission to Reichu to corrupt my mind as she sees fit. I don't miss my sanity that much.

As horribly, horribly wrong as that is, I somehow still can't stop myself from chuckling shamelessly at the idea...

Heh heh, you bet I've seen it...it's incredibly stupid, but also very funny, if you're willing to get into that mindset for a half hour (or, in my case, just kind of stay in it ). For one thing, there are lots of jokes about New Jersey, which makes the show even better for me, since I live there...I just can't help but like the idea that a giant robot's pilot would fight a gigantic alien invader, not for any noble purpose whatsoever, but because the alien has, through a cruel twist of fate, managed to destroy every Slurpee machine for miles around as it completes its conquest. And then, after it destroys yet another one, to have the following philosophical conversation among the two pseudo-heroes...

"The last Slurpee machine...this is unforgivable!"
"Y'know, Coop, they have a Slurpee machine in Hoboken, we could always go there."
"Yeah, but it's Hoboken!"

Shameful as it is, I was sold from there.

I somehow knew it was your sort of thing. Reichu mentioned in another thread that you and I have a similar sense of humour, and I don't think she was far wrong.

"The last Slurpee machine...this is unforgivable!"
"Y'know, Coop, they have a Slurpee machine in Hoboken, we could always go there."
"Yeah, but it's Hoboken!"

Yeah, it adds a touch of spice, I expect. I vaguely am aware that there is a place called Hoboken in NJ, but since it is well over 3000 miles from the chair in which I type this, I can't say as I have any idea why Hoboken would be the butt of this kind of humour, any more than I expect the average American can understand jokes like,

"So, you've got a boyfriend, and he's studying in Hell.
"Hull!"
"Whatever."

Hull being a place name, of course. It's the same joke, but they don't travel well is what I'm pointing out, much as you have already realised.

FLCL is awesome, you can see quite a lot of inspiration from evangelion in it as well, quite a lot of the characters are very similar.

I originally got the Hikari pic on the first page of this thread off 4chan, and I thought I'd share some more interesting Eva pix that have been posted there recently. Here's a Eva-related PSA:

I wouldn't so much say "outdo" as "approach the subject matter from the sort of angle even Reichu knows better than to comprehend". Or, rather, "really weird" in a 'bad' way, as opposed to the Reichu way -- however one choses to characterize that.

What would mine be then?

"Already Acting Like I'm On Drugs To Begin With: My Anti-Drug."

Hmmm...

Also, methinks that for Rei "Apathy" would have been funnier than "Silence." Or maybe "bleeding profusely," after she's huge-ified...

Inflatable Rei - My anti drug

Originally posted on: 11-Jan-2005, 22:44 GMT

I must be slow today. Y'all can blame Reichu, since the sort of viewing material that she has a tendancy to recommend has the same sort of effect on my brain as Rei/Lileth as on people during 3I. In other words, I laughed so hard that my brain turned into a vaguely tang-esque substance, and dribbled out of my ears. With that in mind, forgive me for my denseness, but what the Netherworld is an Anti-Drug?

EDIT: On the plus-side, I at least know now the meaning of Reichu's location field. The phrase "Galactic Prophylactic" calls up some not-entirely pleasant imagery, in the absence of it's original source.

It is a marketing device on commercals(using that same font) used to get teens in this country away from drugs, and showing them the "anti-drug", or alternatives to taking said drug. Ex: Talk:The Anti-Drug. There are staggering amount of anti drug and alchoal commericals(not that the're bad, but...), some we have to see in school every morning on "Channel 1 News", which basicly puts out a rehash of the night-before news. One such commerical is a girl going about her day, with creepy music, seeing images of her grandmother flash all around her, and at the end, you see the girl stealing money out of her grandma's purse, for weed. Cue the creepy voice"You'll never forget the people you hurt when you were high." Regret: the Anti-Drug Anyway, don't feel bad about not knowing. :p (I'm sarting to forget this is the "Go Hikari" thread. )^ About that sig, shouldn't Rei be replaced with an Eva. I can see more of Reichu's the next doujinshi being along the lines of that.

That good, eh, Biscuit? Studio Sokodei claims yet another victim!

And Magami, let me emphasize that even though I think the Evas are sexy beasts, I have absolutely no personal interest in them. I'll get my kicks vicariously.

Thanx for the Anti-Drug Explanation, Magami. I'm no longer suprised that I didn't know, since I no longer watch broadcast TV, and even if I did, that would appear to be an American thing. Commercials, pfft! If kids wanna take drugs they will, no matter how much they know it's a bad idea.

About my .sig: I don't make these things up, you know! All that part which lies inside the quote marks is a direct quote from Ms. Reichu herself. Twisted, and ripped from the context of its original utterance though for comedic effect though it may be. I think that I can say with utter certainty that the concept of 'next' doujinshi is a foreign one to Reichu, as the project that she currently is engaged in will no doubt take some considerable time to finish still. Have you been exposed to the delightfull mysteries of the project formerely known as "Holy Shito!" and which now enjoys the less amusing but more 'arty' title of Beyond Eden's Shores? I'm sure that if you were but to ask, Rachel would be delighted to point you towards the various preliminary works that she's put together. I have to say, it's worth a few hours of your life, although... I seem to recall that she made an 'executive decision' not to include Tabris in Eden, so I am sorry to tell you that should you choose to commit a few hours of your life to reading the rather significant textual output of our favourite Pokemon namesake on this matter, then it's a foregone conclusion that they will be devoid of not only the the pure Bishie-ness of his human form that is Kaworu, but even of his angelic aspect, Tabris. I imagine that will come as something of a disincentive for you, but you could always mount a major letter-writing campaign on behalf of Tabris. Results will be hard to predict, of course.

I'm sure she won't mind if I offer this, in the interim period until she next posts. Try here first -- it's somewhat outdated, but it forms the fundamental outline of the story. It's deeply fascinating stuff, I assure you. Darn near manages to inspire me to write something, just by the sheer scope and audacity of the project. You have to respect that. Of course, if I ever find enough free time to start on that mega-fanfic that I'm sort of planning, you forum minions are all in trouble. BWAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAR! GYAH-HAR-HAR!

Er... I mean.... I hope you'll all enjoy it very much. Minions!!!!!!!!

:strokes white cat: We'll make them all sorry, come the day, won't we, my pet. Gyah-hah-har!
