May i ask you a question what are you thoughts on the anime named Gankutsuou.
how did you like and why or why not. no reason for asking this just curious about how you feel please respond if you want ok. also if you want to ask me a question look at my anime list and ask about one i am watching or have already seen and ask about if i like one or not if you want.

Well, I was really referring more to the Kenshin OVAs than anything else. I haven't seen so much of the TV series. Yeah, Karas has a pretty good soundtrack.

Frankly, I liked Death Note. It wasn't deep or profound, but it wasn't trying to be. It was an intelligent, fast-paced, engaging thriller. Then again, I got into it via the manga, before the Internet was filled with Death Note weeaboos - so that might have something to do with it.

And if you're planning to watch Karas, let me sum it up in a nutshell: It's the most eye-poppingly gorgeous animation you've ever seen, which may or may not prevent you from noticing that it has a shit-retarded plot.

Gotta confess, I didn't take a good look at your list. However, I did see that you had a mild fondness for the Rurouni Kenshin series, and a notably greater one for the OVAs. Based on that I think you'd like Shigurui - it has similarly well-choreographed fight scenes and also debunks romanticized notions of historical Japan, but where Kenshin has underlying idealism and themes of love and redemption, Shigurui is unrelentingly bleak and cynical, an intense and horrific tale of human depravity. The way it contrasts simple beauty with ruthless foreboding and grisly violence is breathtaking and purely Japanese. Almost like an Oriental Cormac McCarthy, if you will, though I don't know exactly how well that particular comparison holds up to scrutiny.

In short, you'll like it because it's incredibly violent and bleak.

Have you heard of Shigurui? I have an inkling you might like it.

Haha, a sad truth indeed.

What's this fool talking about, and why does he care?

Also, by "stories/shows that protract the dark side of human nature to ridiculously implausible extents", I was primarily referring to Elfen Lied.

I wasn't necessarily referring to you specifically. At any rate, I dislike going out of my way to piss people off if they haven't done anything to me. Whatever you may determine about the majority of the human race, at the very least most people TRY to be well-intentioned on the most basic level. (which, by the way, is why I regard stories/shows that protract the dark side of human nature to ridiculously implausible extents to be self-absorbed, wallowing bullscrap) I don't try to make enemies if I can help it (though I don't back down from expressing myself out of fear of being disliked either).

And cliches/stereotypes don't materialize out of nowhere. They almost always arise out of some underlying reality. And similarly, archetypes are real. Not absolute, but real. Similar people experience similar circumstances, and there are frequently patterns to the results. That's the very basis of behavioral psychology, is it not?

Also, I like the blurb about storytelling on your profile. Gave me something to think about, as it's very true.

You rated 5cm Per Second a 10?? See, now I KNOW you're not as much of a heartless bastard as you want everyone to think you are.

I'd stop watching since you're done with the shishio fight I think?
The rest after shishio is filler with no conclusion X___x
Manga was better.

ohhhh o.o

You're watching my Rurouni Kenshin

Spruce up the list looks a little. Plain white is boring. =D

damn, I'm past 60 days now
