Woooo, 114 to go. Damn, you guys really do love me. Tee. hee.
Two things I like to discuss.
1) Shits. Yes, I know I usually stay away from talking dirty, but i feel like I have to be a potty mouth (pun intended). Ever feel like you have to take a shit but it just won't come out? Not even constipation. Constipation is just like.. wow, i haven't taken a shit in 3 days, I wonder what's wrong. So no, it's not like that. This is like... I can feel the shit in my bowels moving around, but I know if I sit down on the toilet, it's not gonna budge. And even worse then that, ever have the urge to take a shit, but by the time you reach a bathroom, it goes away? What the eff is that? It's like taking a shit has to have a "Window of Opportunity" or some shit (pun intended). Damn, I missed my window, I gotta sit around for another hour and wait for the urge to come back.
I can go into even more details, but I'll stay away from that shit (pun intended still).
2) Anime Review: Outlaw Star.
Outlaw Star is about a guy who can really really fight and finds a really really cool spaceship and then does stuff. Yea, vague description.. but what anime really is specific? It was made by the same people who made Cowboy Bebop, which was a fantastic series. I know it's not fair to compare two series just because the same person made it, so I won't. Ok, i will. Outlaw Star is humorous in the same low key way that it was presented in Cowboy Bebop, except, in Cowboy Bebop, the characters were portrayed as serious, almost humanlike. In Outlaw Star, they sometimes cross that boundary and do more "anime" traits. For example, they'll fall off a cliff and be fine, or go to jump and stop mid air, etc etc. These aren't specific examples, but just wanted to give you an idea.
The thing that disappointed me the most about Outlaw Star was it's chemistry between characters. They were an oddly mixed bunch that seemed like they were only thrown together for the sake of their differences. Hell, they don't even explain WHY the characters all decided to travel together besides "just because". Outlaw Star also did not impress me or leave me that tingling sensation after watching an episode like Cowboy Bebop did. There was no great dramatic serious showdown or anything, and it seemed like all 26 episodes' plotlines were squeezed in to fit a half hour segment. Although the plotline is loosely setup like Cowboy Bebop's (episodes can be watched out of order, but all tie together), to me, each problem presented in an episode was resolved way to quickly.
Overall, I would recommend Outlaw Star. It may not be the best anime or have that many distinguishing qualities, but if you're a Cowboy Bebop fan, it's definately worth the watch.
Yup, anime is the shit (pun intended AGAIN).
