About the reception KlK got here, could any show generate that amount of enthusiasm here now? Yea,the forum was much more active back then, and there were a lot of prolific posters who watched the anime(and listened to music and read books...I miss 2014!). I was looking at a couple pages and a lot ...

I don't think it worked anyway... I think my favorite moment of the celebration was that dude jumping off the awning of that hotel.

Bears v. Jags in Super Bowl 53. Ya heard it here first.

I love me some Junji Ito as much as the next guy, but I'm actually surprised at how much negativity I'm seeing with regards to the anime. Well, people nowadays do tend to be negative about everything, since it's easier to tear something down than build something up. Anime fans tend to have a bad re...

I hear that March comes in like a Lion doesn't return for three weeks because of the Olympics... Are other shows affected? Just when ya got caught up with the series too, huh? Yea, I haven't heard anything about any other series, I think it's just this one because it's on the main NHK channel(which...

^ Yea, I figured it was too. Oh well, the game does look kind of cool. Maybe I'll play it in Japan if I go there to see 3.0+1.0.

Who knows, maybe they'll make a tie in anime still.

I just love his illustrations. I don't think you're allowed to be an evageek if you don't. :wink: So it's an anime, right? I've always loved old Sunrise, so I guess I've already got high hopes for this one. I need more outerspace mecha battles in my life. The mecha designer from Gundam:...

March comes in like a Lion . Having picked up very late on recommendations, and only now having caught up, it's going to be frustrating to go onto a weekly schedule after marathoning so much. It's a curious show; its focus varies greatly between different arcs which at times has made me wonder wher...

The idea of dual piloting paired with the personal relationships between the pilots is a very cool idea. It'll be nice to see where they go with it. I think they can really do a lot with the cast, though I do think it's still too early to call too much. The mecha designs are pretty cool and cute(I l...

The first time I watched it, EoE felt almost like a betrayal. Yea, I felt the same way. It messed with my head and ruined my day the first time I watched it. But now it's my favorite flick; I do believe that's the course it takes for a lot of Evageeks. Without EoE there is no Evangelion. I'm going ...

I received that Akira 35th anniversary manga box set for X-Mas(thanks mom!) and I finished the 6th volume yesterday during my lunch break. Truly a masterwork and an absolute joy to read. I watched the Akira film for the first time way back in February 2003 on a Thursday night. It left me very confus...

^Since it came out in Japan a bit ago I thought one or two users may have seen it. But yea, I've seen When Marnie was There (in theatres no less). It was pretty dope. Didn't realize it was by the same dude, I thought it was some other Ghibli guy for some reason. Haven't watched Arrietty yet. I'll pr...

Mary and the Witch's Flower is playing in theatres for ONE NIGHT ONLY. Does anyone recommend seeing it? It's nice to see some annimay in theatres sometimes...

How weird is it to say saints will upset the vikings? well thats my pick anyway It's like January 2010 all over again. I'd really love to see the Vikings win though, after rooting hard against them back in 2010(they had Favre then, and Bears fans could never really stand him). It'd be cool to see a...

As the NFL playoffs are one of my favorite sport events of the year, I'm very glad to see them underway. Since the Chicago Bears embarrassed me, my family, and my city I hope some other Evageeks are fans of teams that are still alive. As I said last year, there aren't many things in sports I enjoy ...

Currently reading an old copy of Haruki Murakami's The Windup Bird Chronicle. I should've read this a long time ago, but after reading 5 of his other books, I decided to read this. It's the longest one of his I've read, and it's quite enjoyable. The whole thing is basically an existentialist harem ...

It would be common at this point to say (as I do) that FMA 2003 was the better show, in spite of not having the (then unwritten) completion of the manga. Is that your position? I haven't seen the 2003 series yet, and thanks to my thoughts on Brotherhood I may never. But if I ever get around to it I...

Happy New Years, butts! This is the first NYE since '09 went into '10 that I'm not going to a bar and/or party and I'm pretty happy about it. Maybe I'm getting old... It's also cold as crap in Chicago so I'm glad I won't be running around. Hope everyone has a good time tonight, or had a good time la...

Plus the dub doesn't help matters one bit, particularly Steve Blum as Spike gets really grating on my ears. It's fair to dislike the show, and indeed on point with the reason for this thread, but putting the blame on a dub isn't really fair, since Watanabe didn't have anything to do with it, as he ...

I agree the second series is as well done as the first; but I'm not sure it added anything - there comes a point when too much Mushi-shi gets a bit boring. I guess it needs to be taken slowly and not marathoned. Yea, that's fair. The show is one that I feel isn't as good on a second watch as on a f...
