So, now that FMA: Brotherhood is now over, and with one exception, adultswim and OnDemnad seem to be repeatign quite a few anime...I feel I must turn to Netflix or some other similar rental service for new anime. Durarara will be getting a review from me soon, but I feel that I need to expand my horizons. BTW, should any of you have any suggestions, PLEASE let me know!
I feel like I should pay more attention to mecha-anime. I've always enjoyed Patlabor and parts of the Gundam franchise. Also, I've begun to enjoy more "stranger" anime that doesn't really fit in any anime genre...like Baccano or Durarara. I think I should also explore more anime movies. I actually do NOT really watch that many feature-length anime...I have to be a big fan of the creator/director/writer/series to get me to watch it. Perhasp this is where I need to start my search anew....movies, mecha, the unusual...
I really don't want to have to involve myself with Naruto...oh, dear god, anything but that!
So, I've been watching the popular anime over the years. adutlswim used to be a start-off point for me....but I now know Cowboy Bebop, Death Note and Ghost in the Shell by heart now. I've also used conventions as a starting off point as well, watching totally new and random things. But while this past con season was a blast, I didn't walk away with any burning desire for any particular anime or manga,
Hmm, reflecting ont heidea that perhaps I should also go old-school. Check out Lupin moire seriously. Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkoku (loving the mangas). Disregard what little experience I have with the Gundam franchise and start at the very beginning (historical note: Gundam was created to sell a robot toy, but the anime did so well the toy producers re-organized the priority to the anime).
It's not that I no longer like what I've been watching...a lot of stuff dealing with "real-life" situation and romance of ALL types (I'll never give up Strawberry Panic!), as well as some action stuff. I feel like I need to expand. And expand I shall....
But I could use some suggestions!
TONIGHT'S PLAYLIST:
Sadly, multiply appears to no longer allow music uploads. But if you really want to know what I listen to as I write, just let me know!
