[Forlorn Hope]:go
[MartAnimE]: Go~!
[MartAnimE]: I love this song :D
[jmsrober]: The Gogos?
[ShadowAlex]: 1000 and one nights
[jmsrober]: What SeeSaw albums are these tracks on?
[ShadowAlex]: not sure about this particular song
[jmsrober]: I have a few of their older albums, but idr the tracks.
[ShadowAlex]: TV size of Edge was on the OST
[MartAnimE]: I remember really liking this character Yuki, the first time I watched it
[jmsrober]: Which OST?
[ShadowAlex]: the Liminality OST
[ShadowAlex]: Yuki does not like her in law much
[noirlax]: lol
[MartAnimE]: she's kinda quirky in a funny way
[jmsrober]: She disproves of him getting a girl pregnant.
[jmsrober]: I like this song.
[MartAnimE]: it's Liminality again
[ShadowAlex]: lol dothack
[jmsrober]: Kajiura does such amazing things with nonsense words.
[ShadowAlex]: it was in one of hte URLs
[ShadowAlex]: I think Yuki is watching a horror movie
[noirlax]: yeah James
[ShadowAlex]: nothing good can come of a clown coaxing a little girl
[Forlorn Hope]: clowns D:
[MartAnimE]: it's an evil clown gah :v
[noirlax]: your favourite? :D
[MartAnimE]: Tokuoka's phone matches his car
[ShadowAlex]: he drives a stick
[jmsrober]: There was a poorly made comedy with Bobcat Goldwaith called Shakes the Clown.
[jmsrober]: About an alcaholic clown.
[MartAnimE]: cool saxophone
[ShadowAlex]: nothing worse than a worried mob of people
[noirlax]: they animated that well
[MartAnimE]: lol nobody panic :v
[ShadowAlex]: but the smoke and flames are static
[ShadowAlex]: in some shots anyway
[noirlax]: The World is like Skynet :P
[ShadowAlex]: nobody panic = please scream and run around in circles
[noirlax]: lol
[jmsrober]: Skynet with anime characters.
[MartAnimE]: lol yeah Alex :D
[jmsrober]: If I built a terminator it would totally look like Chloe.
[MartAnimE]: I think it's supposed to be darker in there than they actually show
[ShadowAlex]: there's clearly some kind of illumnation though
[MartAnimE]: that woman looks like Mireille
[jmsrober]: Yes she totally reminds me of Mireille.
[MartAnimE]: oh one of my favorite tracks!
[ShadowAlex]: Mireille with Helba's voice
[MartAnimE]: secret entry I think?
[ShadowAlex]: uuh let me check
[noirlax]: she does have Mireille's face
[jmsrober]: The OS on the doors is crashed.
[jmsrober]: Must be windows based.
[MartAnimE]: so is this woman Helba in the world?
[ShadowAlex]: I don't think so
[ShadowAlex]: and the track is "suspicion"
[jmsrober]: She looks too classy to be a hacker.
[MartAnimE]: thanks Alex
[Forlorn Hope]: lol the juice cans
[MartAnimE]: lol dat jump
[ShadowAlex]: woo free juice
[noirlax]: lol he wants info out of a vending machine
[MartAnimE]: he won the jackpot >:o
[ShadowAlex]: he's got some skills for an out of shape chain smoker
[noirlax]: fat people can jump!
[noirlax]: BT Kitchen!
[ShadowAlex]: hey little Mirielle was in the pizza sign
[MartAnimE]: wow that kitchen looks dangerous
[ShadowAlex]: no OSHA Compliance
[noirlax]: lol
[jmsrober]: It was chibi-Mireille
[jmsrober]: Bee Train takes reused footage a bit too far imo.
[noirlax]: chibi Mireille where?
[ShadowAlex]: she was in the pizza sign
[jmsrober]: Her silhouette was on the pizza sign when the woman was talking about the food court.
[MartAnimE]: the phone woman is Aya Hisakawa
[ShadowAlex]: hey anime only track
[jmsrober]: Yes Aya is in this.
[ShadowAlex]: snarky old lady isn't she
[jmsrober]: What I don't understand is why they climb down the cables when there is obviously a ladder on the side of the shaft.
[MartAnimE]: lol
[noirlax]: yeh Alex
[MartAnimE]: she gets a kick out of scaring little girls
[ShadowAlex]: now this is the track "Illegal entry"
[jmsrober]: Yeah she is totally like Mireille.
[ShadowAlex]: lol hey there is a latter
[ShadowAlex]: PLOT HOLE
[MartAnimE]: they should have jumped through the plot hole, they would come out of there faster >:o
[noirlax]: lol
[ShadowAlex]: 10 years of watching this and I still find new things
[jmsrober]: Actually the funny thing is they have replaced Halon with HFC120 as a fire supressant.
[jmsrober]: HFC120 is a life safe gas.
[ShadowAlex]: that recent or long time ago?
[MartAnimE]: what happened out there?
[MartAnimE]: zombie apocalipse :o
[jmsrober]: Halon is pretty much outlawed because it would kill you if you were traped in the room when it went off.
[jmsrober]: I know they use it in fore systems today, and Halon has been illegal for a long time.
[jmsrober]: at least 10 - 15 years.
[ShadowAlex]: they have two of the Liminality tracks mixed here
[jmsrober]: Halon was usually used in computer facilities because you didn't want to use water.
[MartAnimE]: she's being kinda condescending to Yuki
[MartAnimE]: but it was nice of her to help her out
[noirlax]: yeah condescending to little girl :p
[MartAnimE]: Tokuoka, quit smoking :v
[jmsrober]: This track makes me think a bit of Madlax.
[MartAnimE]: yeah I can hear it too
[ShadowAlex]: network failure causing havoc; sort like the plot of Summer Wars
[ShadowAlex]: or digimon the movie, take your pick :p
[jmsrober]: As long as you dont say Mars of Destruction.
[noirlax]: lol
[jmsrober]: Or whatever that anime you all hate was named. XD
[ShadowAlex]: lol
[MartAnimE]: lol you should watch it
[ShadowAlex]: it's so bad it's good
[jmsrober]: If its that bad it's not going to make my buy list.
[ShadowAlex]: just stream it, I don't imagine you can buy it
[MartAnimE]: yeah not available in the US
[ShadowAlex]: Anime World Osaka
[MartAnimE]: there's a fansub on youtube
[ShadowAlex]: hope those animators aren't all spacey like Azu Osaka
[jmsrober]: she looks like Chloe
[MartAnimE]: only in the scene with the static flames
[noirlax]: Interesting, being stuck like that was interesting for an episode
[Forlorn Hope]: done with ep
[ShadowAlex]: the woman was named Asaba apparently
[ShadowAlex]: done
[MartAnimE]: done ^^
[MartAnimE]: now's a good time for a snack
[noirlax]: yeah it is
[noirlax]: I'm cooking myself an egg
[MartAnimE]:brb
[Forlorn Hope]:brb
[noirlax]: brb
[jmsrober]: Ok so does Marta look like that when she eats too?
[MartAnimE]: lol that's Riki :v
[ShadowAlex]: lol
[MartAnimE]: frying an egg
[noirlax]: I'm sure she does eating off the bowl :D
[jmsrober]: BTF seems to have stayed up by the way
[MartAnimE]: I eat like that to show dominance towards my pets >:o
[ShadowAlex]: and there goes my browser sound
[jmsrober]: I dunno if we want to move back to make the last two logs easier.
[noirlax]: up to you
[MartAnimE]: we can use the method Riki mentioned
[MartAnimE]: or I was thinking about taking screenshots
[jmsrober]: idc either way
[MartAnimE]: that would take longer probably
[ShadowAlex]: be a lot of screenshots, be best to save
[MartAnimE]: small screen
[MartAnimE]: anyways, food yeah :v
[MartAnimE]: brb
[jmsrober]: Afk a few min
[ShadowAlex]: guess I'm here all by my self and uuh talking to my self
[Forlorn Hope]: aww family is starting to watch the great gatsby
[ShadowAlex]: the new one I take it
[Forlorn Hope]: guess I can watch it by myself tomorrow
[Forlorn Hope]: yeah
[MartAnimE]: that's a cool movie!
[MartAnimE]: I watched both the old and new
[MartAnimE]: new one is louder and more intense
[noirlax]: back
[Forlorn Hope]: wb
[noirlax]: ty
[ShadowAlex]: wb
[MartAnimE]: I got food but forgot a drink
[noirlax]: uh oh
[MartAnimE]: no more Monster, I feel too awake already :v
[noirlax]: 36 O_O
[Forlorn Hope]: who needs sleep :v
[jmsrober]: That almost looks like Ahiru
[ShadowAlex]: are we ready?
[MartAnimE]: I've been having trouble falling asleep when I go to bed in the morning
[jmsrober]: ready
[Forlorn Hope]: sure
[MartAnimE]: because it's too bright
[noirlax]: just about ready
[jmsrober]: Well you are supposed to go to bed at night.
[MartAnimE]: I'm loading episode 3
[jmsrober]: And actually the particular wavelength of light associated with the sun actually causes the human brain to wakeup
[jmsrober]: I learned about that from Doctors who were trying to treat my insomnia.
[jmsrober]: Sunlight is an antisleep agent.
[jmsrober]: At least to humans. I think it works in reverse with cats.
[MartAnimE]: yeah makes sense
[Forlorn Hope]: that's why you invest in some good blinds or curtains :v
[jmsrober]: Or one of those sleep masks.
[MartAnimE]: I have blinds
[MartAnimE]: it's dark enough just not pitch black as I prefer
[Forlorn Hope]: ah
[jmsrober]: I think thats still not enough since its the quality of the light as opposed to the quantity.
[ShadowAlex]: I wore sleep masks from time to time they would always fall off by morning
[MartAnimE]: lol that sounds funny

Spoiler: .hack//LIMINALITY episode 3 • show

[MartAnimE]: my episode is ready
[jmsrober]: I am at op
[Forlorn Hope]: ready here
[noirlax]: I sleep when I need to sleep
[MartAnimE]: go?
[ShadowAlex]: ready
[Forlorn Hope]: go~
[noirlax]: go~!
[jmsrober]: This episode lacks cute girls so it's not as interesting.
[ShadowAlex]: go
[jmsrober]: ;p
[MartAnimE]: Go~!
[jmsrober]: go
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[noirlax]: interesting isn't about having girls :D
[MartAnimE]: lol I thought it had the older girl?
[noirlax]: so says the Doon
[MartAnimE]: this is my favorite OP
[ShadowAlex]: yeah my favorite too
[ShadowAlex]: the other animes have really lacked without Kajiura's themes though the Yuka Nanri song in Quantum was good
[noirlax]: nice place
[ShadowAlex]: ironically this is my least favorite episode
[MartAnimE]: but look there's a girl :v
[jmsrober]: Its also my least favorite, but it does give some good backstory to sign
[MartAnimE]: Tokuoka doesn't have other clothes
[ShadowAlex]: just his one pink shirt
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[Forlorn Hope]: real men wear pink :v
[jmsrober]: He can afford ice cream and hot springs, but has no address, and no change of clothes
[ShadowAlex]: which knowing him was a laundry mishap
[jmsrober]: In Japan pink is a masculine color
[MartAnimE]: maybe he has a closet full of pink shirts :3
[jmsrober]: Sakura blossoms were seen as symbolic of the samurai.
[ShadowAlex]: is it really
[ShadowAlex]: lol closet full of pink shirts
[jmsrober]: As a result the pink of the cherry blossoms is a masculine color.
[ShadowAlex]: Paging Mr. Herman, Mr Herman
[jmsrober]: Women wear it too.
[MartAnimE]: he is an animated character after all
[jmsrober]: Well if she doesn't like it she can stab someone.
[noirlax]: lol
[ShadowAlex]: They got opera in there huh? that was what the dad of a friend said when we were watching this once
[jmsrober]: Are all the OP on the liminality OST?
[MartAnimE]: this girl is cool, she has a wider range of emotions than the other two :D
[ShadowAlex]: no just "edge"
[jmsrober]: Madlax had only one emotion: Pasta.
[noirlax]: she's older probably wider range just because of that
[ShadowAlex]: Both under surveillance that plot goes nowhere
[MartAnimE]: maybe better voice acting too
[jmsrober]: Well they clearly like Mai's acting enough to use her as the title character in another anime.
[MartAnimE]: lol they reference The Ring
[ShadowAlex]: this show could have used some MIB agents in this
[ShadowAlex]: oh hey they did
[ShadowAlex]: but really Japanese folklore in my cyber punk show? :V
[noirlax]: lol
[jmsrober]: Japan is a mix of modern and tradition.
[MartAnimE]: yeah I notice this episode is more Japanese
[MartAnimE]: and more talking and less action
[noirlax]: nice statue
[ShadowAlex]: considering it's a Bee Train work I shouldn't be surprised but for some reason it is jarring
[jmsrober]: This music makes me think a bit of Corsican Corridor.
[MartAnimE]: like the bgm here
[noirlax]: yeah James
[ShadowAlex]: this track is "Together"
[ShadowAlex]: scary shiny glasses
[MartAnimE]: lol you're walking with a middle aged man :v
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[noirlax]: I gotta try this game of passing clues :D
[ShadowAlex]: this track is "Epitaph"
[MartAnimE]: good old parents embarrassing their kids
[MartAnimE]: I love Epitaph aswell!
[MartAnimE]: another of my favorites
[jmsrober]: Theyre making fun of fanfiction here.
[MartAnimE]: Tokuoka smokes and doesn't wear a seatbelt, what a reckless man
[ShadowAlex]: he had a good run
[noirlax]: Interesting so that's how The World is modelled.
[ShadowAlex]: they used real still photographs as a basis for the town
[noirlax]: cool
[MartAnimE]: wow people can cough blood so easily :o
[ShadowAlex]: Takayama, Nagano, Japan
[ShadowAlex]: possibly TB
[noirlax]: maybe its where Mashimo skiied.
[ShadowAlex]: he's pretty rich you know lol
[MartAnimE]: lol
[MartAnimE]: make him buy you dinner
[noirlax]: lol
[jmsrober]: Aya's characters always seem to get the odd matchups.
[Forlorn Hope]: duck :v
[ShadowAlex]: lol
[MartAnimE]: duck burgers lol
[ShadowAlex]: should be WcDonalds
[ShadowAlex]: that's usually the sub fast food place in anime
[MartAnimE]: because Donald Duck :v
[noirlax]: lol
[ShadowAlex]: but not Daffy?
[MartAnimE]: not for the McDonalds pun
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[noirlax]: good pun
[jmsrober]: dramatic music when they mention the title.
[MartAnimE]: Liminality is a real word!
[ShadowAlex]: oh it really is
[noirlax]: i feel educated
[noirlax]: from all this learning :D
[jmsrober]: mouth catches
[MartAnimE]: wonder what it would do in Mortal Kombat
[MartAnimE]: Finish Him! LIMINALITY :v
[jmsrober]: symbolic cross of a line
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[Forlorn Hope]: finished ep
[ShadowAlex]: finished
[MartAnimE]: done for me too
[noirlax]: Episode is down
[ShadowAlex]: Mari Kawai
[noirlax]: Finish him
[noirlax]: Liminality!
[ShadowAlex]: I imagine her to be quite kawai
[MartAnimE]: she needs an extra i to be cute >:o
[MartAnimE]: Kawaii
[noirlax]: who kawaii?
[MartAnimE]: someone Alex saw in the credits
[MartAnimE]: I have episode 4
[ShadowAlex]: ready
[Forlorn Hope]: ready
[noirlax]: loading
[jmsrober]: I think I like 2 & 4 the best
[noirlax]: I enjoyed 3
[ShadowAlex]: 1 & 4 for me
[jmsrober]: Three was really good backstory for sign
[Forlorn Hope]: I like 1 the best so far
[ShadowAlex]: I think most of that gets explained in SIGN or in the games so it feels like a lot of extra exposition to me
[jmsrober]: Basically we learn the reason Aura was created.
[jmsrober]: And how Tsukasa could be drawn into the world so far.

Spoiler: .hack//LIMINALITY episode 4 • show

[noirlax]: ready
[jmsrober]: ready
[Forlorn Hope]: go?
[ShadowAlex]: ready
[MartAnimE]: GO~!
[Forlorn Hope]: go!
[noirlax]: that conversation and chasing around lat ep was good
[ShadowAlex]: gao
[noirlax]: go~!
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[noirlax]: lol gao~!
[MartAnimE]: this song is also pretty cool!
[jmsrober]: go
[ShadowAlex]: okay this is a good theme but I like the remix on the Dream Field Album better
[noirlax]: I feel I need to copy the soundtracks and listen to them again
[ShadowAlex]: that's the one album I can say
[noirlax]: Its hard to remember after the first time
[jmsrober]: Sorry I asked this before but missed the answer. Are all the OP on the OST?
[ShadowAlex]: no, only Edge and Twilight Sea
[jmsrober]: darn
[MartAnimE]: I think the TV size versions
[jmsrober]: would have made it too easy.
[MartAnimE]: lol Yukichin is funny
[noirlax]: lol yeah
[ShadowAlex]: and...Yuki
[jmsrober]: She's a bit young to be worried about a boyfriend.
[noirlax]: lol Charlie's Angels
[ShadowAlex]: I think SSS was also a tribute to Charlie's Angels
[jmsrober]: Bosley John Bosley
[MartAnimE]: that was funny too
[noirlax]: oh
[jmsrober]: I was right to choose junk food.
[MartAnimE]: poor Mai, she looks miserable
[ShadowAlex]: this episode looks digitally made
[noirlax]: she's about to puke!
[noirlax]: I thought this series was digital
[ShadowAlex]: first three look cel based to me
[ShadowAlex]: espeically three
[jmsrober]: Just how to express your love for a woman. Put people in a coma.
[noirlax]: lol
[ShadowAlex]: well that's really Morgana's fault
[MartAnimE]: yeah that was a weird thing to do, create a virtual child
[MartAnimE]: I'm sure he could have adopted a kid if he really wanted ^^;
[ShadowAlex]: assuming they're moving at speed I don't tink they could have this conversation
[noirlax]: He sure thinks in strange ways
[ShadowAlex]: he wanted to make the child he and Emma could never have
[noirlax]: It's a brilliant concept
[jmsrober]: I think he goal was to create a child with Emma the only way he had left. By using her ideas and merging them with his creation.
[jmsrober]: But he wanted it to be a living thing.
[MartAnimE]: he could have raised an adopted baby based on his and Emma's ideals
[noirlax]: nice turn
[MartAnimE]: that would have been more real
[jmsrober]: Thats not quite the same thing, and I think this way was the only way to allow her theories to be realized.
[ShadowAlex]: just realized the dub voice of Sato was Matt in Digimon
[ShadowAlex]: yay Digimon
[Forlorn Hope]: lol wish I could hear that
[ShadowAlex]: and Risky Coffee
[noirlax]: go Yuki learn to be the coffee lady
[MartAnimE]: Yukichin's being treated like comic relief and Tokuoka just told her to get coffee >:o
[MartAnimE]: being the smallest is hard, no one takes her serious :v
[ShadowAlex]: which tips off security
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[ShadowAlex]: Nice Job Breaking it Hero
[noirlax]: you will know Marta-chan
[MartAnimE]: there's the cool song again
[ShadowAlex]: btw one of these Security Guards is the husband of Mistral from the games
[noirlax]: nice music
[MartAnimE]: lol that's so random
[MartAnimE]: next time you're breaking in a high security place bring your own coffee ^^;
[noirlax]: lol
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[ShadowAlex]: good advice
[jmsrober]: Like security guards who wouldn't bother going inside would check the vending machine logs.
[ShadowAlex]: I guess it was some kind of automated signal
[jmsrober]: Or have them piped to the TV in their cars.
[jmsrober]: Well I get it in the context of plot, but you wouldn't log something like that.
[noirlax]: cute breaths
[jmsrober]: Security logs in corporate environments have millions of entries even when you just log the critical stuff you need.
[MartAnimE]: it's funny they treat Mai gently because she's rather frail
[jmsrober]: You need special software tools to mine them, and it can take hours.
[ShadowAlex]: she's so lost and tragic, she's so innocent and frail!
[MartAnimE]: but they keep condescending Yuki >:o
[ShadowAlex]: no subtitles for the *
[MartAnimE]: lol fire extinguisher action
[ShadowAlex]: Sayaka was a Liminality fan
[jmsrober]: Mai's ability to hear the tone is the key though.
[jmsrober]: She needs to start stabbing people.
[jmsrober]: Kyo not Mai
[jmsrober]: Although she sounds more like Jodie.
[ShadowAlex]: why do you want Kyo to stab people
[jmsrober]: It's Aya and this is Bee Train.
[jmsrober]: Crazy psycho killer role is her typecast.
[MartAnimE]: because she's channeling Chloe
[ShadowAlex]: Lightning fast now let me press the enter key in the slowest way possible
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[noirlax]: lol
[MartAnimE]: think she's waiting for the sound
[MartAnimE]: pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim
[jmsrober]: is this track on the OST?
[ShadowAlex]: yes
[ShadowAlex]: it's the first OP
[ShadowAlex]: but it's the TV size on the OST
[MartAnimE]: lol Mai apologized for beating the guy with a stick
[Forlorn Hope]: lol so polite
[noirlax]: how cute
[MartAnimE]: lol that was so funny
[MartAnimE]: bonk bonk take that :v
[ShadowAlex]: ha ha nice kick to the ass
[MartAnimE]: Yukichin Kick~! :3
[noirlax]: lol
[noirlax]: these security guards really need to work on their fitness can't outrun girls :p
[MartAnimE]: they look old
[ShadowAlex]: SYMBOLISM!
[noirlax]: go Aura
[MartAnimE]: awww snow ^_^
[MartAnimE]: now's a good time to quit smoking Tokuoka :v
[jmsrober]: He looks like a Yakuza there
[MartAnimE]: what an upbeat ending ^^
[noirlax]: Let's eat even though they beat the shite out of me and we need to keep the info in a safe place
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[ShadowAlex]: victory
[jmsrober]: The reason I asked if there was more is they leave stuff hanging.
[MartAnimE]: did coma boy wake up?
[jmsrober]: Like Mai and glasses guy.
[ShadowAlex]: yes he woke up
[MartAnimE]: I think I missed that
[jmsrober]: Even thoguh it's not that important it's a bit of a loose end.
[noirlax]: So Morgana still lingers even though Aura was born?
[MartAnimE]: ah ok good
[ShadowAlex]: there's no Slice of Life sequel to this
[jmsrober]: Not the guy in the coma the friendzone guy
[ShadowAlex]: Morgana is the world it self
[noirlax]: ah
[MartAnimE]: I think friendzone guy went about his business after Mai dismissed him
[noirlax]: That was satisfying
[Forlorn Hope]: pssf who cares about friend zone guy :v
[ShadowAlex]: lol
[jmsrober]: Hmmm if Morgana is the world maybe the reason BTF is so unstable is we have a chatroom named after her....
[noirlax]: lol
[MartAnimE]: lol nobody loves you friendzone guy :v
[jmsrober]: You ladies are harsh.
[Forlorn Hope]: lol
[MartAnimE]: go get your own show
[noirlax]: poor friendzone guy
[ShadowAlex]: I don't care much about Friendzone guy either
[noirlax]: he's going to build his own version of the World
[MartAnimE]: lol he just wasn't a main character
[ShadowAlex]: it's like Poorfag in Madoka Magica
[jmsrober]: You know there is a funny trick guys use to make girls think they are worth dating.
[noirlax]: like Harald
[noirlax]: who's Poorfag lol?
[ShadowAlex]: with Black Jakc and hookers?
[MartAnimE]: lololol
[jmsrober]: They have a gal friend go places with them to give girls the impression that another woman thinks they are worthwhile.
[jmsrober]: And funny thing is it works.
[ShadowAlex]: precisely
[MartAnimE]: I think that's silly ^^;
[noirlax]: That's only for ppl without a gifted mouth :D
[ShadowAlex]: in fact, forget the game
[jmsrober]: Maybe so but it does work.
[MartAnimE]: it only works on girls who would steal other girls guys :v
[ShadowAlex]: that was a very late wrap up to that joke
[jmsrober]: Perhaps, but to a lot of guys that doesn't really matter.
[noirlax]: I thought this was a great 4 ep series
[jmsrober]: And there is a saying all's fair in love and war for a reason.
[noirlax]: I'm putting it about 8
[MartAnimE]: yeah it was a great conclusion!
[jmsrober]: I mean look at Tiger Woods.
[ShadowAlex]: yeah it's a solid series
[MartAnimE]: I rate it an 8 too
[jmsrober]: All those women knew he was married, and he knew they knew and didn't give a shit.
[ShadowAlex]: this is slow
[Forlorn Hope]: I gave it a 7
[jmsrober]: Episode 4 is very good.
[noirlax]: Well Tiger Woods is a swinger with his club in more ways than one.
[noirlax]: Ep 4 is very good
[MartAnimE]: that's advice for relationships based on deceit James ^^;
[jmsrober]: I would say I like them all. They do a lot with just four episodes.
[noirlax]: Ep 1 took awhile to get going but it was good when it did
[jmsrober]: I wasn't putting it out there as advice.
[ShadowAlex]: I gave it a 7 too
[noirlax]: ep 4 was good
[MartAnimE]: they do give us a good sense of the characters and they're all rather likable in their own way ^^
[noirlax]: I like them all James too
[jmsrober]: You just made me think of it when you said who cares about friendzone guy.
[jmsrober]: He was in the friendzone and therefore dismissed. :D
[noirlax]: I guess it sounds kinda harsh out of context.
[noirlax]: But Brooke just meant that character :D
[MartAnimE]: I called him friendzone guy cuz I didn't catch his name >:o
[noirlax]: He wasn't particularly charming
[MartAnimE]: I think he was meant to be a minor character in the story really
[jmsrober]: I actually found him a bit annoying personally
[Forlorn Hope]: yeah I meant the character
[jmsrober]: And I think Mai wasn't happy that he didn't trust her judgement.
[ShadowAlex]: Masaya
[jmsrober]: Which was why she kicked him to the curb.
[noirlax]: He was getting jealous that 33 year old guy was getting along better with Mai
[Forlorn Hope]: updated my series ranking at btf
[jmsrober]: He probably was.
[noirlax]: I said 33 instead of the correct 34 for a reason :D
[jmsrober]: Tokouka was Milosh only he lived.
[noirlax]: lol
[MartAnimE]: Tokuoka was entertaining :D
[jmsrober]: He was a good character.
[noirlax]: yeah
[MartAnimE]: he's a bit like an older Speedy
[noirlax]: he was brilliant and flawed
[Forlorn Hope]: lol I liked tokuoka
[jmsrober]: It was interesting too in that the series really didn't have a difinitive main character.
[noirlax]: Tokuoka was to me
[ShadowAlex]: it was like SIGN in that way
[noirlax]: well I guess not exactly
[MartAnimE]: yeah they focus on those four rather equally
[ShadowAlex]: it's an ensemble feature
[jmsrober]: Tokouka got a lot of screen time, but all the characters were equally important I think.
[noirlax]: I felt Mai and Tokuoka got a tad more
[jmsrober]: Tokouka was just the element that connected all of them.
[noirlax]: but they really were meant to be by the end.
[Forlorn Hope]: yeah
[MartAnimE]: Mai and Tokuoka were more crucial to solve the problem
[noirlax]: It's pretty even for 4 eps
[jmsrober]: Kyo understood the nature of the outside better.
[jmsrober]: And Tokouka and Mai understood the inside better.
[ShadowAlex]: and Yuki is just kind of there
[noirlax]: Its probably better that each character had a different emphasis on the episode, Mai 1, Yuki 2 , Kyo 3 with Tokuoka connecting them all
[jmsrober]: Well Ep 2 is about Yuki
[MartAnimE]: Yuki brings coffee and kicks butt >:o
[jmsrober]: She was a fun character.
[jmsrober]: In a way its good friendzone guy was so bland.
[MartAnimE]: and she's all out of coffee :D
[noirlax]: She will make a good future japanese office lady lol
[jmsrober]: So they can basically jetison him after episode one.
[noirlax]: she's chuck coffis
[jmsrober]: You made me think of the office ladies in the Nuku Nuku OVA.
[jmsrober]: The older one not dash
[noirlax]: what's Nuku Nuku
[noirlax]: Nuku Nuku makes me think of Numchucks
[jmsrober]: All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku
[ShadowAlex]: lol
[jmsrober]: Its an anime about a combat android that has a cats brain implanted in it.
[MartAnimE]: cat girl robot
[jmsrober]: The OVA were entertaining.
[jmsrober]: Dash was sort of meh
[jmsrober]: ANd the TV series was aimed at kids a bit too young for my taste.
[noirlax]: cat girl robot that sounds like what I'll be buying in 50 years time.
[ShadowAlex]: lol
[jmsrober]: Well this one would destroy your home if she found a mouse.
[jmsrober]: Image the terminator with a cats brain in it.
[noirlax]: lol
[jmsrober]: Nuku Nuku was probably inspired by the terminator for that matter.
[jmsrober]: I bet Dominique would have liked friendzone guy.
[jmsrober]: He was a bit like Charlie.
[ShadowAlex]: lol maybe
[noirlax]: lol
[noirlax]: Charlie is cooler
[ShadowAlex]: we should tell him to watch and have him tell us if it's true
[jmsrober]: Only because Margaret hid behind Vanessa whenever she saw him
[noirlax]: friendzone guy reminds me of that guy in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles but lamer
[ShadowAlex]: what guy
[ShadowAlex]: there's a lot of guys in that show
[jmsrober]: Which is funny considering that Margaret isn't like that with Carrossea or that slezzy guy at the party.
[jmsrober]: Who Elenore had intel on. XD
[noirlax]: The one with the glasses who was in Sakura's court before she went amnesia I think, my memory is rusty.
[ShadowAlex]: oh Yukito
[noirlax]: yeah
[noirlax]: Elenore can't stop Carrossea
[jmsrober]: She didn't have intel on Carrossea, but she had it on Margaret's classmates.
[MartAnimE]: sorry had to restart
[jmsrober]: Speaking of which what is our next rewatch?
[ShadowAlex]: wb
[jmsrober]: wb
[MartAnimE]: my computer was acting up
[ShadowAlex]: well I got to pick this one so who wants to chose next?
[jmsrober]: We aren't at 10 years on Madlax yet right?
[ShadowAlex]: we are 10 years out from it's original Japan release
[noirlax]: A most gifted rewatch that would be
[jmsrober]: Well we did Noir on the ADV release.
[MartAnimE]: we can wait for next year
[ShadowAlex]: that was sort of good timing there
[MartAnimE]: and watch Meine Liebe
[jmsrober]: I've never seen Tsubasa
[MartAnimE]: or Arc the Lad
[MartAnimE]: or Tsubasa that's cool
[noirlax]: we could do Phantom
[jmsrober]: What is Mein Leibe
[jmsrober]: ?
[ShadowAlex]: a series all about Bishies
[MartAnimE]: political bishounen
[jmsrober]: I'd sort of like to do Tsubasa.
[jmsrober]: Then persude Marta to watch Magic Knight Rayearth.
[ShadowAlex]: well TRC is good with me
[noirlax]: Yakumo!
[MartAnimE]: I agree Tsubasa is cuter
[jmsrober]: I may watch Yakumo at some point.
[MartAnimE]: lol I'll watch it James
[jmsrober]: Just to understand the disappointment.
[MartAnimE]: when I'm done with my current shows
[noirlax]: worst anime day if anyone wants to do one like that :D
[jmsrober]: Well it's got a connection to Tsubasa.
[ShadowAlex]: you can do a lot worse than Yakumo really
[jmsrober]: I want to pick up Monster as well.
[Forlorn Hope]: yakumo's just bland
[jmsrober]: That one sounds like it has a really good premise.
[noirlax]: yeah Mars of Destruction!
[ShadowAlex]: yeah mostly bland
[MartAnimE]: yeah for bad shows we watch mars of destruction
