Wanted: One profound post title

[drakyndra]

So, I just spent the past couple of days watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, because I've been meaning to get round to it forever.

And now I rather think I see where that show got it's reputation from.

To borrow something I said to one of my housemates last night, "So 18 episode in, it suddenly becomes a horror series."

And then there's the ending, which basically had me sitting there going "What" for about an hour.

But thought provoking. And now I possibly feel the need for something rather more cheery as a palate cleanser. The music is still stuck in my head. :/

Also, I am tired because I didn't get any sleep last night. No, these events are not actually related.

In more cheerful news, how about the cat that lives up a tree?

And we have we have a release date and summary for the next Discworld book, which is always good news.

...I've got a surprising amount of books I'm looking forward to coming out this year.

I don't think I want to go for a rewatch quite just yet. For starters, I think it would be unimaginably depressing, and I could use something cheerful.

It's a Terry Practchett quote, actually.

That sounds completely fair. In fact, from reading the comments here, I think I may be the strange one, given how I enjoyed every minute in all its crazy, tragic, messed-up glory. Then again, I do tend to like things dark and dreary. But since you're not me, how bout something outrageously silly like School Rumble or Yakitate!Japan, then? ^_^

I still do wish it were true. It would have made senior year so much easier XD

I certainly found it an entertaining watch, and can see rewatching it again at some point. I'm just in the mood for a change of pace. Though I can't really I say I know either of those at all.

Well, School Rumble starts off as a typical high-school-set romance/comedy, until it stops taking itself seriously several episodes in and gets really ridiculous.

Yakitate!Japan would be 50-ish (IIRC) episodes about baking bread. With a lot of bald jokes, puns, a superhuman clown and a recurring character who is an obvious caricature of Brad Pitt.

I don't think rom/com is really my scene. Unless there's something really spectacular about it.

But I'd heard about that bread baking anime. Not heard much, admittedly...

have you seen beck?? it's a music anime about this band who wants to make it big in america. it's a lot of fun. i really enjoyed that one...

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't seen it - I might have seen the cover around, though.

it's pretty fun, and the music is surprisingly good. a mix of rock, rap/rock and there's a great moment near the end with the beatles' "i've got a feeling" (god knows how they got away with that...)

i've not seen the dub though so i dont know how well the music does translated, but there's a bit of engrish in the show as well so it's better subbed i think...
