i like beck, yakitate japan and nana seems cool too.

i'm watching ergo proxy which is pretty slick and refreshingly unusual.

Capeta, Beck, nana, and ergo proxy all sound cool just from the names alone. I think I'll google them. It 'd be better than asking you guys to give me a brief synopsis of each. I don't want to put you guys through the trouble of having to do that for me. That'd be rather lazy of me, ne? :sweat:. In any event my computer is finally being fixed so I can do whatever in the hell I want again :woot: :metaldevil: :applaud:

i watched the rest of Beck last night, didn't sleep til almost midnight... *Yawn*
it was great, I really couldn't stop when i wanted to, i had to watch the last 6 episodes instead of going to sleep.
*yawn*

Beck, is basically a story following the formation and rise of a band called Beck and the bits of life of the main members.

It's executed very well, and the story flows at a good pace in the beginning. It's one of those "slice of life" type animes, very little violence, nudity, not much in terms of action. The characters are well developed, likeable and there isn't an overuse of the typical anime cliches. There's a bit of english profanity, so that was a rather interesting surprise, i had to turn the volume down sometimes... :hehe:

Just saw this anime called Shin Chan. I thought it was a kiddy stuff like Doraemon, but this boy is nuts and always want to show his ass and his precious thing, so I think this anime is meant for matured audience :sweat: . Sukebe kid! :mrgreen: :hehe:

Beck is awesome. I haven't finished it yet, but I plan to.

"Full moon swaaaay..."

i have to admit the weather has been spectacular the past two days...sun for days and a nice breeze in some parts....

i'm sure i hear a bunch of "pieces" firing up at ucla and other campuses across the country. and that percolating water ain't for a cup of tea.

i re-watched the last 5 eps of Beck last night, well evening, cause i wasn't quite awake the first time.

eps 22-24 are REALLY good, probably some of the best done dramatic, emotional episodes i've seen in a long time.
