Panache

[QUOTE=Amelia][FONT=Arial] As long as there's money, there won't be an end to rap or MTV. It's what everyone wants and if you can appeal to millions of people, it's easy to get. And Nirvana wasn't hair metal. Hair metal applies to bands like Guns N' Roses, ZZTop, the Scorpions, Heart, etc. Nirvana was alternative at their time, and I don't know if they were called grunge then or only now. Nirvana and Pearl Jam are examples of grunge, I believe.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial]I particularly like "Love is a Battlefield" and "Barracuda" by Heart. I consider them hair metal, because they came from the eighties and had hair. But my definition of good may not be your definition of good, nor may it be Cygnus'. You don't have to like hair metal, but that doesn't mean someone else won't. [/FONT][/QUOTE]No no your missing my point. Im saying this particular kind of rap is going to go out of style just like hair/glam metal did. I am not saying mtv should not be taken away at all(although it should focus more on music in my oppinion). I mean all they talk about is this neo rap stuff that is really just dumb. It's pointless and stupid and corny just like(some) hair metal was. Don't get me wrong I like SOME hair metal (def leppard and gunz and roses) just like I like SOME new rap (uhh it'll come to me). There are some goodies out of the bunch but overall the genre is overdone and everyone is just jipping everyone else(im talking abotu rap here). And I am aware Nirvana is not hair metal. I't killed hair metal(or contributed greatly to it). They repalced it with grunge. So I think a new innovative rap group will go and do the same thing with rap. To make it underground again. Oh and im listening to nirvana right now. :D Also I liek a lil of it and im sure other people do like it. Thats fine but you know that it is no where near as popular as it was.

Well I was talking about rap more specifically but I guess it can be used on other genres(The only genre that it bothers me in is rap though). Oh and name one good hair metal song.

Has anyone but me noticed the simlarities between all this new rap garbage and hair metal? I mean basically the same thing is hapening here as in the 80's. People are coming out of the woodwork and their main goal is to get a vidieo on mtv. Then thy have "made it". But really their music is garbage and has no meaning whatsoever. There are a few less know guys who are real good(like metallica was). All thats really left is that there has to be an end to it. Just like Nirvana killed hair metal. Does anyone agree with me or si this some dumb conspiracy?

Well oblivion is a long(like 4 or 5 months worth) rpg. Thats just a guess seeing as im no where near beating it. Guild Wars technically is a long RPG (it's basically unlimited). Star Ocean is a good one. FF 7,8,9 are pretty lengthy as well. Tales of destiny 2 is long and VERY replayable. Iv'e spent over 200 hours playing the game. Also .Hack is a goodie if your more into story than gameplay and you wanna see a good anime game(which are few and far between). Xenosaga 1 is a good one as welli havent played 2 yet).That's is my list. Oh wait KOTOR AND KOTOR 2! The best friggin Rpg's ever made on a console. Might wanna try Jade empire as well. Maybe fable(special edition) beacuse the game itself is rather short but it has LOADS of content. Thats it.

Hmm I didnt add that kind of thing beacuse of personal reasons. I don't wanna discuss them here beacuse it will start a pointless arguement. But im going to add something. It is not my favorite kind of romance anime but my favorite anmie (kare kano) focused on both. Also I like all genres but I jsut happen to favor the guy oriented one beacuse im a guy.

Off Topic:! No way I did search for it and it didn't show up! Well sorry didn't mean too. On Topic: I liked the way they got the blue haired gal into the group. It was quite debonair the way the lead gal did it.

Ok im a guy... I watched this anime till episode 7 thus far.... Im straight...Ok now that we got that straight. I thought this anime so far was great. Anyone else think so? I loved the artstyle and the personality of the girls.

The only thing that I have leared from anime is that you should never learn anything from anime. In the case that you do however you must follow the following steps. Hit yourself in the face wit ha brick 14.99999912 times. Drink a shot of Rum. Read the same sentence on the back of a milk carton 3 times backwards in latin. Drink s a shot of Rum. Pray reawy lowd metrallifa muzik fo 69 miinites. Drank sum rums. Parwy wif yorz electricf pioano guirfrz Rofcket. Drunk lotsa more gawwons of rum. Then pass out on your couch and viola yourr cured of uhh that thing I was talking about! :D

Hmm well here's my list of confusing/supid anime endings. Evangalion: Omfg Why is everone suddenly tlakign about nothing? WTF? AHHHHHHHHH Berserk: Im just confused to as why they stopped their that is an awful spot to end it. Edens Bowy: ??? I don't understand why [spoiler]the cute lil girl had to go[/spoiler] Kare Kano: I didn't understand the end beacuse the words went across the screen to damn fast grrr I love all of these anime's but they are confizziling.

Mine is the Jabberwocky. I saw a picture of one in my Literature book this year. It was soo awesome. It was like a demon but was really tall and had weird teeth. It also gives people riddles and If they cna't solve them the people die. Badass in my oppinion. Then eddie from Iron Maiden. He's the coolest undeaed zombie thing ever.

[QUOTE=Doublehex]I have watched the following Anime, and I am unsure of where to turn to next. Based on what I have watched, can you give me any suggestions? -Elfen Lied -Full Metal Alchemist -Full Metal Panic -Ghost in the Shell and Ghost in the Shell 2 -Gundam Wing -Hellsing -Last Exile -Outlaw Star -Wolf's Rain As you can see, I am an action/war buff that enjoys good characterization. Do you guys have any suggestions?[/QUOTE]Hmm well if you wanna see a good drama/action flick R.O.D is the way to go. But if your not down with that whole girl power thing this might not be for you. You wanna see something like hellsing? Blood the last Vampire is for you. Evangalion is a good after gundam series. You wan't alot of blood in gore in ancient japanese/medieval times? Try ninja scroll and Berserk. Also for good measure might wanna atch edens bowy(some people think it suck but the hradcore fans love it) its got a prety good story but slightly dated animation. That's all I got right now.

In the words of mister John Stewart(If you watched the daily show yesterday you would know what im tlaking about) "The devil isn't about to come out beacuse of a typo." What he means is 6,6,06 is not the proper numbering. It's 6.06.2006. The only time that it could have been 666 is the year 6 which never actually existed. So there.

That concept sounds similar. DBZ budokai anyone? That sounds alot like their premise. waht happened to their games? Well execpt for 3 (and maybe the new one I don't know since I haven't plaed it) all of them were kind of lame. So no matter what anyone tells me I'm expecting this to suck. If the game comes out and proves me wrong than great but I doubt it will. dunno maybe im just being pessimistic beacuse the recent Samurai Champloo game sucked and I had high hopes for that. But regardless I think I will be right. [COLOR=DarkGreen]Oh and off topic but nope I never played OD I was talkin about he first one which you apperently don't like so we can agree to disagree. [/COLOR]

Will do As I said it's an incomplete list at the moment.

[quote name='Hunter DX']No offense bro but Gungrave sucked. Short , simple , repitive in every sense of the word. Im saying this as a huge fan of the anime. Your entitled to like it but I thoguht it was God Awful they couldnt even afford cutscenes.[/quote] Which one did you play? The first one or the one wit hthe long name? The very first one came out about a year or 2 before the actual anime came out. And if the one you don't like is the one I like well oh well. Also the one I played had great graphics and great cutscnees and was very hard to play(without cheats). Anyway I really do hope that this Naruto game will be good. It most likely won't be but I hope it is. I played some gamecube Naruto game in a gamestop thsi weekend and it sucked. I beat the same guy 15 times all i did was press the same button over and over again.

Pesimism. Nothing like a good pesimist to brighten up your day when things go right.

[quote name='Kita Erindur'] I know I find Sakura annoying in her love of Sasuke. (At the biggining mainly, when she was really a fangirl) But thats hardly a romance anime.[/quote] By hardly you mean not at all right? The whole romance thing was tacked on just to take up page space really.

Hmm looks wise i look like a basic tall big boneded anime thug. Emotion wise? Well im kind of a combo between The President from please Twins fairly pessimistic but can have fun and I protect my friends similar to her but I have my own issues. Gutsu I think about life alot and wonder if what I am doing now is worth it or just a waste of time. I also am currently looking for a dream in life.

I would keep my expectations nice and low. Every anime game save 1(gungrave) were aweful so far. I'm pretty sure gungrave was a gaem first as well. So if this does turn out to be decent it will be a nice suprise.

Yea that seems to be an occuring problem. Mostly male doinated animes are less serious and more focused on the funny side of things. But really thats why I love it. The guys are retarded and its helarious to see the mbe dummies.But I disagree that the girls look like dummies. Using chobits as an example exept chi herself most of the women were quite wise and in a way manipulated Hedeki into things. So really I think most of the time women are portrayed as very wise while the guy is a moron.

This is for the romance fans. Which is my favorite genre. Romances that focuses on the guy pro's : Usually funnier and full of hapiness with a slight moment of depth which to the new anime lover seems really great con's: generally lacks the "deep" qualites of an anime that focuses on the woman or equally on on both. Romance that focuses on the girl pro's: generally deeper that ones that focus on guys and still have that funny element usually(if girl is on the younger spectrum on things) con's: generally not as funny as male dominated anime's and sometimes the "deepness" is overthought and becomes cheesy Romance that focuses on both pro's: if done well this kind of anime is legendary(his and her circumstances for example) con's: if not generally not funny nor deep just lame I personally prefer male dominated anime but that is just me. So what do you think?

I am looking around on this anime store and I noticed quite a few new/in progress animes on the site. So I figured to be helpful I should post them. This is what I am seeing at the current time and more will be added and you can add some if you want. Please bare with me as my connection is very slow and it may take hours or even days to update. So here goes. I'm going to post the genre and the volume it is on so far. (legend) ?=might not be new may be discontinued/just really short/really slow moving new=first episode coming soon Negima(romance/comedy)(new) My Hime(romantic comedy)(2) This ugly yet beutiful world (romantic comedy/sci-fi)(new) UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie (sci-fi/comedy)(2) Diamond Daydreams(romance/Drama)(3)(?) Boys Be(romantic comedy)(2)(?) Doki Doki school hours(comedy)(4)(?) Desert Punk(comedy/sci-fi/adventure)(4) Strawberry Marshmellow(comedy/slice'o life)(1) Tactics(supernatural/Drama)(new) Trinity Blood(Drama/Fantasy/Horror/Sci-fi/Supernatural)(new) Kirameki Project(sci-fi)(new) Green Green(comedy/Romance)(new) Ninja Nonsense(comedy)(new) These are just one's that are on dvd that are(or seem) new. Im tired so I will finish it up when I get some rest. So I hope this is helpful to some one. Nighty night!

Ohhh I just heard Animal I have become. Three days grace now.

[QUOTE=Papa Smurf]I'm reading stuff here that would never classify as evil. lol The worst any of you have ever done is push someone? Or punch someone? Lunch line antagonism? How about breaking someone's will completely? Shattering their very being? Work in their subconscious, planting ideas, and allowing their own fears and paranoia to help those seeds grow? Exploiting weakness is the name of the game, peoples. And there are plenty of weak people to manipulate. What's even better is being there when a person realizes that you know them better than they know themselves. The look on their face--the terror, dread, shock, and alarm--is absolutely delicious. I know. Because I've seen that look before. Playing tag isn't evil. Destroying someone's mind, however? Now that's completely evil.[/QUOTE] So killing baby birds isn't bad? Ok what about stabbing random people in the grocery store?

[spoiler]I don't know how I got stuck in a button masher... but I did. When you get to the nightmare before christmas place what do you do after you talk to that girl.[/spoiler]
