Shocky Here- and really happy to see that were finally all together. Now the others can edit all my typos!Awesome! I know I have a lot of random posts, but I have lots to say.
Around 3 months ago I finished Firefly. Two weeks ago I finished Battlestar Galactica. Today I completely finished Cowboy Bebop. I watched the last episode yesterday, with its wonderfully ambiguous ending.Today I watched the 2001 movie Knocking on Heaven's Door.
It was gooooooooooooood.
I have to say, I haven't watched a ton of anime so much as reading manga. I've seen a few episodes of Naruto, one of Fullmetal Alchemist, Some Ouran High School Host Club, Hamtaro when I was little and a bit of Spirited Away except I was like 7 and noface scarred me for life.
I think I should watch it again. (Jasmine thinks you should too)
But I have to say, no only did I get very attached to ALL the characters, I never knew anime could be this good. Far better than Naruto.
FAR BETTER. Well this is one of the most influential anime of all time and ever...
Quick History Of My Love for Animation
2010, May-I watched The Nightmare Before Christmas
2010 Until now- I suddenly saw what makes animation so wonderful beyond the same elements found in live action
The animation in Cowboy Bebop was great (although it didn't look so hot on a relatively small screen after being uploaded onto the web.)
But with the bigger budget the movie looked brilliant. I felt like it was last fall, when I was most interested in animation, and I'd watch disney movies on youtube, often when bored, just to WATCH it.
The thing about the series is, I cant even explain it. Everyone knows why its great. I couldn't put it in words, I know the characters are brilliant, and it does all sorts of new things, and it has deep philosophical messages underneath or something, I cant put it in words.
You just know its good from the start.
I think what made this show so popular was a lot of things. The characters, the action, the fact it is a bit more American than other anime or maybe because its just plain cool.
Id say it was the mixture of animation and music, because I very rarely sit through credits.
Anyhoo, thats my two-cents, its seems Im having a good run with television my next mission is to finish DS9
see how that turns out...
probably a lot more satisfying than Terra Nova..
