The new 2009-2010 fall Television season has started and there is a lot of crap out there. Here are my top shows to watch this year new and old. I'm sticking with the main channels and not cable.
1. Flash Forward(New Show)
2. LOST
3. Family Guy
4. CSI: New York
5. Modern Family(New Show)
6. NCIS
7. NCIS: Los Angeles(New Show)
That's it, the everything else out there is mediocre or bad. I highly recommend the new series Flash Forward if you're a fan of LOST or are just a fan of good television with great writing and acting.
I am a huge anime fan. I've been watching anime since 1986, when I was 7 years old. It's now been 21 years and I am still watching. There are only two things I love more than anime, Ashley, my girl friend and the NFL. I don't get to spend to much time online to go to anime forums, and stuff like that. I have work, Ashley, friends, and of course watching anime. So I'm sorry I don't contribute more, I don't have the time.
Rating System: I wanted to explain my rating scale a bit. I have given out about a 20% 10 rating because I can't rank anything a 11. So 10 is a combination of two types of anime. Masterpiece would cover my top 10 to 15, and classic would cover the last 16-30.
As for the 1, it simply means worthless with no value at all. If that offends people who like those anime I'm sorry that's how I feel and it's just my opinion so you can ignore me if you want.
11. Masterpiece(Never going to happen)
10. Classic
9. Excellent
8. Great
7. Very Good
6. Good
5. Average
4. Bad
3. Very Bad
2. Terrible
1. Pathetic
0. Worthless(also never going to happen)

Hey Huntsman,
Regarding your Patlabor 2 review:
"The characters thar are back, are just great. The relationship between Noa and Shinohara grows, and yet becomes more complicated."
So I watched the movie.
I liked the (smart) characters like Gotoh-san doing his 'off-the record' investigation and such.. the politics and such.. how things got blown out of proportion.
But I have barely seen anything happen between Nao and Shinohara.
They were in the movie for like 5 mins.
And about the affair of Shinobu-san with her sensei Tsuge (something I would have wanted to see in the (lame) movie Chrouching Tiger Hidden Dragon).
There was hardly any footage about them as well??.. only some eye contact in the middle and some stuff in the ending.. Giving me the impression that they were very close.
It seems I'm MISSING STUFF OR WHAT??!
So .. since you've seen the the regular Patlabor show.. (I've only seen the 2 movies).. and since you've given the Tv show a 7 (lol).
Is it worthwhile to check it out?
Does the Tv-show contain the same intelligent/interesting/funny characters like the movie?
And is there some in-depth character developement concerning the couples I mentioned above?
Especially between Shinobu and her Sensei? Or is that just something that should remain in our own imagination?

Your review on Samurai Champloo is idiotic and embarrassing.

Oh, alright, I see what you mean. In America, Final Fantasy IV was released as Final Fantasy II, and FFVI as FFIII. Now that makes sense to me. Anyways, I'll definitely be trying out FFVI, and if I like it, I may also try out FFIV, if I can find a playable copy of it online.
Thanks for the info about Read or Die. I'll read the manga next month, hopefully.

Thanks for the recs. I have already played A Link to the Past, though, and I agree with you that its one of the best Zelda games out there. I still have yet to play Twilight Princess, but so far, my favorite 3D Zelda game has been Ocarina of Time, and my favorite 2D Zelda games have been both of the Oracle games, which are heavily underrated, IMO. But, A Link to the Past comes close, and its easily one of my top 5 favorite Zelda games, so far (I've still missed a few, though).
I may give FFII and FFIII a try, but I think those were both for the original Nintendo, and IV-VI were on the Super Nintendo. I don't have the original Nintendo, so I don't know if I'll be able to play NES games on an SNES, unless they were ported over to the SNES, but I'll check out and see if I can play them, just in case.
Yeah, movies are a complete rip-off these days, which is why I rarely go for them, unless I can get a discount. But, in this case, since my father is in the Optimum Rewards program, I can go see movies for free on Tuesdays in the summer. However, it doesn't always work out so great, since tons of people try to take advantage of that deal, meaning that if I don't get to a movie early on Tuesday, it will be sold out on that day, since everybody would basically be trying to see a free movie. So, the catch is that I have to get to get the tickets really early, because if I don't get them ahead of time, then I pretty much won't be getting any free tickets at all.
Oh, and sorry, but I missed your Read or Die comment in the last post. I was actually planning on reading the manga for it sometime this summer, but would you suggest that I read the manga first, or just check out the TV/OVA anime for it instead?

I know it really sucks to have to work hard, but there is also something that feels good about it to me when I get a huge load of work done for the day, and can relax in the evening. I still need to get a summer job, but every summer my dad kept me extremely busy working for his company, and he never went easy on me, so I got a good bit of work experience for myself. He sold his company recently, though, so now I have to find a regular summer job for myself.
Well, perhaps I was too harsh on the 3rd movie, and in retrospect, I don't think that its a bad movie on its own, but I just still didn't like how it was so predictable (although, I'll give them credit for having an ending that wasn't a complete cop-out, which was something I had feared that they might do, since it ended with the events of SkyNet still taking place, except they had only been delayed), and I also disliked how it really didn't do anything new (IMO), or amazing, that the first 2 movies hadn't already done. I had extremely high expectations for it, which is probably why I was left disappointed, personally. Thanks for warning me about seeing Salvation, though. However, while I would take your word for it that its not worth spending money on to see in theatres, I can actually use my Optimum Rewards card to get 2 free movie tickets each week, so I'll probably see the movie anyways, for myself, just since I can view it for free, and since there aren't really any other movies currently out which I'm interested in seeing.
Yeah, I really like how the decisions that you are forced to make in Mass Effect really are tough, and really do have a big effect on how the rest of the game plays out, which gives this game a great replay value. My only problem with it is that a lot of the side-quests are pretty boring (IMO).
As for other RPG's, while I have never really been able to get into any JRPG's except for FFIX, I decided to try our Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo since a lot of people told me that it was good. I'm almost done with it now, and it is pretty enjoyable, but I don't know if I'd say that its one of the best games ever. A friend of mine also told me that even if I'm not a fan of JPRG's, I should really try out FFVI, since he said that its one of the best FF games (in his opinion, I suppose), and that I should still give it a chance, so I'll try it out and see if I like it. If you have any good Super Nintendo JPRG's to suggest to me, then I'll probably try them out too, if I can find them for purchase online. I can't play any PS1 games, though, since I sold my PS1 ages ago, and I'm really not interested in saving up to buy another one.

Hey man, its been a while since I left a post here. How's it been going?
I recently just came back from seeing the new Star Trek movie. I thought it was pretty good, myself, but I'm not someone who ever really watched the older Star Trek stuff much in the first place (I only watched a couple of the movies when I was much younger, and I don't even remember which ones I saw), so I wouldn't know how any long-time fans would like the new movie which is a series reboot, but I thought it was definitely very entertaining for newcomers like myself.
I also plan on seeing Terminantor Salvation soon, even though I know that it won't be as good as the first 2. I'm at least hoping that its better than Terminator 3, though, because I personally hated that movie, and it was a huge disappointment for me.
As for video games, as you can see from my icon, I've been replaying Max Payne, and its an amazing shooter with a great story that still holds up today. Now I remember why I loved this game so much, and I cannot wait to play the sequel, and I'm also happy to hear that Max Payne 3 is coming out this winter. I haven't seen the movie, but I've heard horrible things about it, and it perplexes me as too how they could screw up such a good story so badly, as I've heard that the story in the movie has almost nothing to do with the story in the games, and that the character is completely different in personality than he is in the game. Its a shame, because I was hoping that Max Payne would be the first decent live-action video game movie, at least, but forget the movie, because the game is all I really need, with its intense action and great overall story that keeps me interested.
BTW, Have you read any of the recent news or developer interviews on Mass Effect 2? The game looks really exciting. I still need to beat the first one, though, since I got stuck at a certain part and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do, or where I'm supposed to go, next, and what's worse is that Kaiden Alenko, from my team, just died in an explosion in the story, so there goes an interesting character, even though he was crap when it came to combat. =P

Yeah, I agree. While I enjoyed the series a lot back then, now that I'm older, I see its many flaws. But that's why they are coming out with Dragon Ball Kai. The problem with the anime series is for both Dragon Ball and DBZ were that, in order to avoid catching up with the manga, the people making the anime ended up adding tons of boring filler episodes, and also dragged out the fights and made these very long power-up scenes, with very limited animation. Dragon Ball Kai basically takes some of the old footage, enhances the animation, and is supposed to take out almost all of the filler material from the anime, taking the near 300 episode series down to a third of its original size. That should be much better, IMO.
Also, it will give more people a chance to see the sub. Back when I was a kid, I enjoyed the dub for DBZ, but I didn't know any better back then, because I later found out that the dub changed all of the music from the original Japanese version, and also changed almost all of the lines, replacing them with very cheesy, and stupid, childish jokes, most of the time. While I still respect the dub mainly because it was one of the first times that I had ever watched an anime when I originally saw the dub, I can't say that it has aged very well, at all. However, most people were exposed to the dub, which is unfortunate, since the sub is much better, for the Dragon Ball series.
And yes, I agree with you 100% about the movies. From what I have heard, though, the Dragon Ball movie had a $100 million budget, but the trailer looks so awful that I just find that hard to believe. Also, the actors look like amateurs, at best, and the worst part is that they don't seem to be portraying any of the characters' personalities correctly, which just kills the whole point of making the movie based off of the original series, if you ask me.
