  1. stuff

    This doesn't have a whole lot to do with what I'm about to recommend to you, but I love Kurosawa films too.

    But anyway, yes, considering your interests I do recommend the first Ghost in the Shell film. As far as the tv show goes (GithS: SAC--which I haven't seen), I've heard it's solid but far less grittier than the original film, which is a turnoff for me. A few other anime I'd recommend off the top of my head would be...

    Cowboy Bebop

    Samurai Champloo

    Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal

    Berserk

    and the works of Satoshi Kon

    These are well-known titles (I'm sure others can fill you in on less mainstream works), and also mostly for an older audience (particularly Berserk). Read a bit about these and see if any sound interesting.

  2. Despite the possibility of sarcasm, you seem to have missed the point. It now borders on harassment. He's only responding to her, as though he's a moth to the flame, as it were.

    Forgive me if I missed the sarcasm of your response though.

    Yeah, sorry, I was just kidding around--probably in bad taste. Either way, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  3. ^haha nice.

    Yeah, it's clear the guitar-shaped spaceship is old news, but it's awesome how Interstella 5555 had one too. I seem to remember a live-action 80s movie that had one too, but I can't remember. Maybe Explorers? It's been too long.

  4. Seriously, how can one deny how awesome this movie is.

    Shep has a freaking Guitar Spaceship for dog's sake!

    I would put a picture of it up but every single site that has photos of it anyway is blocked here at my place of work. >__<

    Haha yeah, it doesn't get much better than a guitar-shaped spaceship. For those not familiar with Interstella 5555, at least watch this clip from it:

  5. You know, not too many people have ever heard of that one, but for a movie with no spoken dialog, it is really awesome.

    Yeah, most people who don't listen to Daft Punk aren't aware of the movie's existence, which is a shame. Truly some great stuff.

    Shep is a hero for all generations!

  6. Somebody must have asked this already but what are some "must have" anime movies? I own both Ghost in the Shell movies but I pretty much have neglected anime after that(except ones that come out on Adult Swim); When the hell is Direct TV gonna get the all anime channel/channels that Cable have anyway? I've heard theirs a petition some where about them adding these channels but that was awhile ago. Thanks in advance.

    Here are some slightly less obvious ones just to get you started:

    The Castle of Cagliostro

    Perfect Blue

    Interstella 5555

  7. Shiro Sagisu all the way. He did the OSTs to Evangelion and Bleach and they were fantastic (save for the second Bleach OST, which kinda sucked.).

    He also did a very good job on the soundtrack to His and Her Circumstances.

  8. yessir. I have many Nujabes and fat jon CDs now thanks to the Champloo soundtracks.

    Same here. Along with his excellent Champloo contributions, I'm a huge fan of Nujabes' Metaphorical Music and Modal Soul--both are incredible albums.

  9. You think that looks like an A-Wing? You need to find a picture of an A-Wing and try again. That's not even an E-Wing, for fuck's sake. Where did you get you internet nerd license? Tell me now, so I can get that place closed down! They'll go easier on you in you cooperate!

    /that's no A-Wing, that's a space station

    //wait, no it's not. It's an espresso machine

    /how many movie quotes do you see?

  10. The story behind my handle is pretty simple. A friend from Japan once told me that Toad (of Mario fame) in Japan is called "Kinopio," which I thought was pretty damn cool at the time. Unfortunately I also misheard him and thought he said "Kenobio," and by the time I found out my error I had already established myself as Kenobio. I almost always use this handle for any online game or forum and also for pokerroom.com and Fulltilt, so keep an eye out!
