Has no one seen Space Pirate Mito?
Unless that’s an alias of Space Pirate Captain Harlock, then sadly, no, I haven’t.
Howdy folks, I guess I’ll just jump in here.
Hey now, no jumping! :tsktsk: There’s plenty of room here to get in w/out jumping!
Howdy folks, I guess I’ll just jump in here.
So what I’m getting at I guess is if anyone’s seen them, what do you think of the following:
Also, is anyone up to date on One Piece? I got caught up at the time-skip and then fell behind again; would kind of like to re-read everything from the beginning, but so much material!
I’m generally not much into the magical girl genre these days, so I’ve only seen 1 ep of Shugo Chara not too long ago just to see what all the hullabaloo is about, so I can’t make much of a comment on it. But it does seem like it’s pretty well liked, though. I know I’ve heard rumors of the series being continued, but we’ll see, I guess.
As for One Piece, I don’t really know what in the world is going on anymore in that series, lol. About a decade or so ago, I saw like the first 2-300 eps until I was caught up, then I just forgot about it/lost interest in it for the next few years or so, and I couldn’t really remember where I had left off at exactly, and so I’ve just been watching eps randomly throughout, lol. The last things I remember was Luffy trying to save Firefist Ace, and the ridiculously epic battles that went on during this particular saga.
Seriously, it seems like this series will never end. It is, I’ll admit, one of my favorite series of all time, though. I remember when I first got into the series, I thought it was so good, I marathoned the 1st 200 eps or so in like a couple to few weeks! It was like I was injecting an addicting drug into me.
I couldn’t get enough of it! There’s just so many epic battles, so much drama, and so many tearful, emotional moments, and some really good OP and ED songs as well!
I don’t really like how perverted some of the characters are, though. That’s really it’s main drawback for me now.
I just checked
ANN, and it seems they have at least 639 eps, and counting!
It’s like the Simpsons, they just keep going, and going, and going.
I noticed CR had gotten GTO Taiwan (the Live Action) series, and so I gave that a good watch. It’s only a 4-ep special, and I guess it’s not bad, considering again, that it’s only 4 eps long. But it really fails (CONSIDERABLY) in comparison to the original LA (Live Action) made, I think, in 1998, and to the anime and the manga, but that’s due to it just being too short, and so there wasn’t ample time to really build up the drama and better flesh-out the characters. The main character, Onizuka, as expected, is a bit ecchi, so yes, there are some perverted scenes interspersed throughout the 4 eps (such as Onizuka’s eyes staring at female breasts, and the camera zooming-in… ~ I think that only happened once, maybe twice). Still, as always it’s interesting to watch Onizuka overcome all these problem high schoolers, and to do it in a rather unorthodox kinda way that u just never know what he may do. I did like, too, how they tried to emphasize three things, the importance of bonds/friendships that u make with other people, that power and money can’t get you everything you want, and trying to run away from bad/difficult memories isn’t the best answer sometimes, especially if it means getting rid of/destroying all the good ones in the process.
There was one scene that just made me lol a bit, too, since there was a flashback scene with certain characters back when they were kids, doing something that one would normally see in an anime (at least, I’m used to seeing it there, lol): making a “promise” to do a certain something in the future.
Lastly, does anyone want a free CR guest pass? I have a few of them to get rid of. If you’d like one, just send me a (preferably) friendly PM.
Otherwise, I shall dispose of them through other methods.
