I'm coming up on halfway through Cowboy Bebop and this poo poo is awesome how did I miss it?

I still have the soundtrack on regular rotation. Now that I think about it, it's been 10+ years since I last watched the series. I should fix that.

Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy are good, (though Space Dandy leans a little too hard into the anime tropes) but was still worth it. One Punch Man was excellent for, as he said, those first 10 episodes or so. I also remember FLCL being good but refuse to re watch it and ruin that memory.

Other than those and one punch man, I haven't watched any anime since 2007ish with Gurren Lagann and boy howdy that ended in disappointment.

Anime is one of those things I did try really hard to like, but every series (practically) uses the same boring tropes and it just gets way too drug out.

Cowboy Bebop and Trigun were awesome when I was younger, but I've tried rewatching as an adult and just can't get into it. OPM had like 2 good episodes and I was over it.

Netflix has a couple new exclusives that aren't horrible (aggretesuko I think, and some new York one that I watched just because of desus and mero.)

A little, though it has charm and heart which made it more enjoyable than virtually anything else I'd seen. :3:

Well it might have something to do with you having drilled holes in the door and then filling the holes with drywall patch compound.

Space Dandy is charmful as gently caress, I'll admit. The vacuum-coffee maker episode was pretty much the peak "cute" I can handle before turning something off.

The sheer scale of the escalation in Gurren Lagann is still excellent, but I cooled on it a lot when I learned the main girl's supposed to be 13 in the first arc.

So most Anime creators are pedophiles apparently?

I remember getting into DragonBallZ back when i lived in Japan, but that's because it was the prime time highest rated TV show back then. Now it's unwatchable to me, but I could probably watch the Cell saga again just out of nostalgia.

If you like sci-fi, watch Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Planetes, assuming you've already seen Cowboy Bebop.

Those were both good, and thankfully pre-embargo (my personal limit). I never watched the new GitS, but those first two seasons of Stand Alone Complex were good TV in general. Planetes is great, and kickstarted my interest in spaceflight.

I won't argue with you there. I noted as a kid after watching several of the "team" animes (like Battle Of The Planets AKA G-Force, AKA Gatchaman) that the team was always the leader guy, the rival guy, the big guy, the girl, and the weird little kid. I mean, go look at the original Voltron or the second series of Robotech (AKA Mospeada - God I love the Ride Armor...)

I will say though that if you have any inclination to watch Blue Exorcist, do not watch it. It's got enough interesting elements to keep you watching until the climax in which the writing falls to bits and the whole thing turns into a festering blob of poo poo.

And come to think of it I watched it on the recommendation of the same chick that puts rotisserie chickens in the oven so it's sort of unsurprising.

I have already dealt with the police. I am waiting for a report to be generated in the system so I can get her information. I just finished filing an online addendum with photos showing the bike is bent up (they were only concerned with the handlebars at the time, we didn't know that the bike was unrideable). If $200 is spendy for a new bike right now, I don't think I could afford a lawyer.

I may be way too late for this, because I'm way behind on the thread. I have a mountain bike in my garage that I haven't been using and you are welcome to borrow it until your poo poo gets sorted out from this accident. The issue is that I'm leaving early tomorrow morning for a vacation out of the country, so have no idea how to get the bike to you (or have you get it) unless you could drive all the way out to Buckeye tonight to get it. It's in good shape but one tire has a slow air leak so you would need to air it up every few days or fix it.

If you are interested and think you can come get it tonight shoot me a PM and we can work it out, otherwise I will be back next Wednesday if you can go a week without a bike.

Here's the real quote

You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design, it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, ‘Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life. If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it. Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves. Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know. It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans. And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!.

US prices for trim pieces for first gen 4Runners/Hilux Surfs are loving insane. I need a shift boot and center armrest pad (which comes as a whole assembly) and the used parts I can find on US sites are like 150 bucks each for the bastards. But ho ho ho look at amazon.jp and you pay 80-90 USD for them, OEM and new.
A 4runner account on instagram was like 'hey you need parts let me know!!!!' and looking at their prices, why in the gently caress would I buy from them when I can just buy who they buy from.

I mean I get it, but it weirds me out when it seems so obvious to me. Like there is this sex shop in a strip mall by us and proudly in the window they have a large sign that says "BUY LOCAL". If someone wants a dildo they are just going to cut you out and buy more direct, the support local thing kinda falls apart when your whole point is a middle man. Unless there are bespoke dildos they are selling, kinda have my doubts.
