We're not the messiah, we're just very naughty boys (and girls)

Ooooh, nice link, thanks! I've always wondered what the track lists looked like. Some day I will own those soundtracks, some day I swear it!

Actually, I've found myself liking a lot of the music in teh shows I've been watching. J-Pop can be infectiously catching.

Scary fact: Today watching Inuyasha I found myself singing along with the closing theme. In Japanese. Accurately Couldn't understand a word of it, but I've memorized it just the same.

Heh. I used to do that. For a while there, I was very good at singing the opening and closing songs for Evangelion, Ranma, Escaflowne, Slayers, and Utena. The closing song for Evangelion isn't hard, though, since it is just "Fly Me To The Moon."

 

[Sniktch]

I own some Slayers, Evangelion, and Escaflowne, and all of the first two series of Lodoss War. All good. Good to see an endorsement of Utena, too - I've been eyeing it in the catalog (series is on sale for like $16 right now) and wanting to pick it up. It sounded like fun

I'm really looking forward to one called Steam Boy. Its a steam punk epic directed by Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira) and I can't wait until its released in the US. Might be because I'm also in a steampunk phase.

I find that Japop is infectuous only in its context, for me- in other words, if I hear it as the theme to an anime show I might like it, but I prolly won't care for it much without the anime attached.

Anyhow, I'm off to bed- must rise early...

I will say this. Utena isn't for everyone. I find it kind of like a weird cross between Sailor Moon and Evangelion. Of course, I only have the first arc (eps 1-13). I'd like to think I'd pick up the other arcs someday, but for now my spending habits have drifted elsewhere.

As for Lodoss War, I really liked the old OAVs. The newish (tv) series, I didn't really like. I bought the first tape of it and it just rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. I guess I can't get past wanting it to be like the OAVs. And the bits at the end of the episodes with the chibis... *shudders*

 

[Sniktch]

No, it didn't look mainstream, but I'll probably like it I like Magic Knights Rayearth, and thats also shoujo.

Chronicles is OK, but its true nothing stacks up to the orginal Lodoss OVA. And the Chibis? *shudder* Nearly as scary as hentai, in a different way. Thats what the "Stop" button on the remote is for

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

Heh. I'm ashamed to admit that I liked what I've seen of Rayearth.

The video game is fun and the series has a nice little twist in it that I thought was kind of inventive.

I haven't kept up on stuff coming out for a while. Guedo really likes Cowboy Bebop. What I've seen of it wasn't bad, but I wasn't rushing out to buy it either.

If I find out a new Miyazaki film is out, I'll see about seeing it, but that's the most anime searching I do nowadays.

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

Hmm.. okay. I'm finally tired. It's bedtime here, I'm thinking.

Hmm.. the way this thread is going, it might be finished before the 3 day mark.

Okay. goodnight.

 

[Sniktch]

Heh. I'm ashamed to admit that I liked what I've seen of Rayearth.

You wanna know a secret? Everyone says this. Almost every otaku I've spoken to has uttered some variation of that exact same sentence. So why are you all ashamed? You all like it, if you admitted it you'd know!

It is a little girly, though

Anyway, thats about it for me, too. Almost 3 here and my son will be up soon, D&D session at night, I better get some rest.

Jennifer govt. is an online rpg where you play a nation. Each day you get issues, how you deal with them determines how your nation does and how others view it. You can rp with other nations on their forums.

I played that a couple months ago. I don't know if my country is still active, though.
