This is a super rad playlist. I've been leaving it on a little bit when working on things I can risk getting distracted from.
But it doesn't have two of my all-time favorites!

The lyrics to this one are great.

That playlist has the second Heavy Metal L-GAIM theme, but the first one I like so much more.

Also, the Ideon ED song is just the best. (The visuals for the ending aren't the most stunning thing in the world, though)

I, uh, actually wrote my own translation of the lyrics a while ago since I didn't like the one from the fansub I was watching and it didn't cover the extra verse from the single version, though I'd like to give it another pass some time since it's still a little clunky.

Oh, and Victory Gundam's OP gets me out of my fuckin' chair.

This stuff is like the purest candy for me.
Guys. Today a friend of mine who's really into anime recommended me a show named Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita (Humanity Has Declined in English).
Has any of you seen it? How is it?
........no. .___. GITS has been on my list for too long. But I recently discovered that it's on Hulu, so that will change really soon.
That being said, does the movie take place before Stand Alone Complex or after it? Just for my understanding.
It's always been how I understood any visual medium, but I will admit I'm looking at anime from the lens of a writer and critic for an entirely different medium.
See, I didn't know about any of the bolded stuff was specific to anime, or that it was important to the medium. Thanks! This clears a lot up and helps a lot.
The reason I ask is that Oshii is often considered the king of the talking head anime. So much so, that he made a live action film called Talking Heads, about making an animated feature. His GitS films are full of it, and his Patlabor films are probably the most perfect examples of this kind of Japanese animation.
There are some anime scholars who argue that Japanese animation is a medium that exists somewhere in between full animation and the comic book, because of how it utilizes static images and talking heads for exposition.
Last year was the 25th anniversary of Giant Robo, an OVA series that I still believe to be the greatest achievement of the medium.

Here's a really good article on GR:

It's been far too long since I've watched it, and plan on doing so soon. Maybe I'll write up some reviews.
Finished up the Berserk Super Cut this weekend. Pretty good. Not nearly as good as the same arc in the manga, but still good.
Man, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was something. It might have just become my favorite anime ever.
Did you watch the live action movie on Netflix? Been wanting to check it out.
I did. It's terrible.
I honestly don't feel like watching it, specially since the track record of adapting animation classics to live action is terrible (e.g. The Last Airbender, Death Note), hell, they can't even do justice to mediocre shows like Dragon Ball!!

I'm still stunned how much I enjoyed SAC. I thought there was no way it could hold up to the movie, but its great.
Love love love SAC
I never could get into the first season of SAC, but 2nd GIG was pretty damn awesome; sure, the dialogue is often rather clunky in its blatant historical/political lecturing, but the visuals, setpieces, and overall style of it were just too cool to be denied.
