Mainstream anime does suck. But stuff like Elfen Lied is actually pretty good. I mean it's short, but still good. Afro Samurai is pretty damn good.

I have returned! I had a great time, however, I saw very few good Resident Evil cosplays *cough*, and 1 zombie that I saw when I didn't have my camera with me. I saw a great Wesker but that was another one of the times I wasn't carrying my camera with me. I do, however, have a couple of photos I want to share of various cosplays (Including the one Wesker I did take a picture of) and I will upload them ASAP. >3

In other news: I feel like a zombie.

Welcome back. You've missed very little. Bio just unleased a few more creatures, I shot some guy in the face, we all had a blast.

So, has anyone else checked out "Afro Samurai?"
I just picked it up yesterday, it's really an amazing mini-series. It's a lot better than... ANY anime that came out in the mainstream in the past 6 or so years. I mean, as a series in itself, it's on par with works like, "Spirited Away."
Today, all this crap that you see on TV or that's generally talked about, is just that... It's crap, I mean... Full Metal Alchemist? Avatar? Naruto? Hack//: GUI? Give me a break... Seriously, today's Anime has become a bastardized, watered down version of what it used to be. And that's damn sad...
So, if you want something that's not watered down, Afro Samurai is really worth checking out. I was extremely impressed by it.

Plus, you know... Gotta love Samuel L. Jackson.

I thought it was "Nice,NICE".
Nowadays you don't really see that much gore in anime unless you import it from japan.It was Cowboy Bebop and Trigun that got me interested in anime, and this one which I forgot the name but I do remember a part of it in which this guy got sliced in half and all his insides spilled out, none of that dark T-bone steak effect crap you get in anime these days, and thats why I only get uncut versions of anime. What Toonami did to Naruto was down right ******** up. stare Talk about watering down something to the point where it's tasteless...So I'm glad they have an un-cut version of Afro Samurai so I can enjoy all of it's untouched goodness. 3nodding

I saw commercials for it. It seems pretty interesting, so I wouldn't mind seeing it at all. Probably won't buy it, just because I have other things to buy that are stronger to my interests.

If you do want to see a good gore anime, that actually is.. quite crazy, and makes you think rather hard, try checking out Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. It's being released on DVD in North America tomorrow (June 5th).

And well.. it's.. pretty gorey. I watched some of it (my friend has the entire series) and we just found out that we saw the censored version. And we were like "..WHAT? eek "
Apparently it was even censored in Japan when aired on TV.. and you know Japan, they aren't so strict on censoring compared to the states and Canada. I'm quite excited to see the uncut version that's being released on DVD, though. 3nodding

Also, welcome back, Xeno! I hope you had fun! xD;

I did, my boyfriend and I had a blast.

I'm back from A-Kon, too. I saw very few RE cosplays. crying I'm sure there were more than what I saw but the place was huge so I was lucky to at least see this Jill cosplay:



Sorry for the blurryness. sweatdrop But I think its a decent cosplay of Jill. 3nodding I think I'm gonna cosplay as Jill next year. At least I want to. And if I do, I might do a skit too. Dunno yet. ^^

Anyways, I also bought 2 RE shirts. One was an Umbrella Corporation T-shirt and the other was an R.P.D. T-shirt. ^^ I wore the Umbrella shirt in Sunday and met a couple of other RE fans there. It was awesome. 3nodding

(I'll be putting more pics up in my journal either today or tomorrow for anyone who's interested.)

Yeah, I kinda missed out on Anime North up here in Canada, it was last weekend... I didn't get to go because... Well, I'm too cheap for the subway, let alone the convention fee... But I got money now, a week too late! scream

I've been watching Shin Chan on Adult Swim ever since it's come on and like... Christ, I can't get enough of it, plus the ending song. It's scaring me. D:

"Party party, join us join us, shake your tail when you can, party party, join us, join us..!"

And I don't even care for anime!! D:

My one and only true love in anime, Ranma 1/2. Imean who wouldn't love an anime about a guy that changes into a girl when wet because of a curse? xd

Well it could potentially get disturbing in many ways... I mean imagine you're seeing this pretty girl, but in reality, it's a guy... *shudder*

A quick heads up to the crew members, I declined a person from the guild because they didn't really say more than 'I love resident evil and have played it for awhile' and then they listed which ones they played. Well, the person (WrestlingLover) messaged me, asking why I declined. I explained why and told him if he really felt he should've been accepted into the guild, he should take it up with another crew member, and then said person ignored me. It's just a quick heads up, because said person may keep bringing it up to each individual crew member until the said individual gets in. Said individual may even report the guild because said individual did not get allowed in.

That's stupid. We get harrassed by them because their request was bad and it's OUR fault. stare  

[XINVADER]

There should be some kind of response you guys could use in any case to deal with terrible requests, such as:

Denied Request Response

As a guild we feel that your request to join was either "not substantial enough to prove to us you are an avid Resident Evil fan" or "you seem to n00bish" and do not yet have a place as a member. If you wish to contact a moderator about this situation as you believe you should be allowed into the guild then you are entitled to, but any or all repeated harrassment will be delt with how we see fit.

xd How bout that?  

[Biohazard EXTREME]

Well, they don't allow for a written response, which, I think is stupid.
