Yet, another thread, but I am curious as to know your favorite animes? I could guess Ryoko would love Tenchi muyo, but that doesn't seem to be his type of anime, he might jsut e in love with Ryoko. (In love with a cartoon...:p)

Ya'll most likely know this by now, but my favorite would probably be Love Hina. (My previous avatars would all be Mutsumi)

Either that, or Chobits like in my current avatar. That avatar is of Chi, the main character in the story.

So, what's your favorite anime? (I'm sure you gotta love one, at least, because how can you be a geek without having a favorite anime?;))
 
HEY! Don't make fun of being in love with a cartoon...I used to be in love with Tuxedo Mask/Darien from Sailor Moon LOL Dang he was fine. Other than that my faves are Vampire Hunter D and Vampire Princess Miyu. What a little cutie Miyu is eh?
 
Hehe. If you think Ryoko loves Ryoko, then you don't know about me and Mutsumi. She's so cute and innocent, plus she's down to Earth. :) Greatest anime chick alive.. (Well, "alive" wouldn't be the right way to say it, but you know what I mean:p)

Vampire Princess Miyu...? Kind of, if she dropped that Japanese look to her.
 
Dropped the Japanese look eh? I think that's what I kind of like about her, nice to see an anime character that doesn't look like an american characature. My husband and I watched Ghost in the Shell 2 recently and were talking about how so many anime heros/main characters look like the big beefy american hero like the cyber in Ghost in the Shell as well as the cyber in that recent MTV anime Heat Guy J, or in Sailor Moon, the cute blonde bubble head. Akira and Devil Man were pretty good at having asian heros, but such films are few in the mainstream and it's just good to see a female asian playing a main role. Just my humble opinion ;)
 
I know exactly what you mean. It's odd that a Japanese show whould have American heroes(?)

It's also hard to find a creator who has his own style, since almost every single one of them have the same type of style. Only ones that I've seen that look different from the rest Are Yugioh!(of course), Zatch Bell, and Tenchi muyo.

Ghost in the Shell have a very futuristic look to it, not jsut the atmosphere, but the drawings and art stands out, which goes perfectly for the whole futuristic theme. Odd that the machines have little girl voices. If you liked Ghost in the Shell, then you should watch Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Comic (something or other) on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Pretty good show, along with Fullmetal Alchemist.

Just watch a few episodes of Final Fantasy Unlimited and Tenchi Muyo In Love - Tenchi the Movie which were absolutey awesome. The way they fight in Final Fantasy Unlimited is a little odd, however, but awesome nonethless.
 
I will have to check out the adult swim show, I miss a lot of shows on there because they rarely seem to have a set schedule on what plays when, also because it's on pretty late and I tend to be in bed way before midnight LOL That whole, getting older - harder to stay up late thing. But of course I have seen the Tenchi episodes and movies- Ryoko makes sure of that and sends me videos from time to time or gives me a heads up on when they are on tv. They are pretty funny, it's good to see an anime that can make you laugh and doesn't have to be all deep and serious all the time and not be a show for 6 year olds. I will have to look for Final Fantasy, I don't mind wierd. I thought Spirited Away was wierd but still enjoyed it - very creative I thought.
 
Yea, they change schedules alot. The only problem I have with it, is that they have the sudden bursts of new shows, which all suck horribly, and they take 'em off after about a week of showing them. The only ones that are firm and will stay are Futurama, Family Guy,Inuyasha, Ghost in the Shell, and Fullmetal Alchemist. Robot Chicken (Weird name, eh?) is doing pretty good, but some of their skits are odd.
 
*Raises hand*

I also liked Cowboy Bebop.

I personally don't thoroughly enjoy and watch anime. As a matter of fact, I hate TV and so I get the episodes off the internet every now and then.
 
Cowboy Bebop was awesome. Especially the last episode, "Ballad of Fallen Angles" when he fights that one dude, bah, forgot his name. Anyways, it was an awesome show, with some weird moments.
 
Yea, Cowboy Bebop was weird, especially that fridgerator sludge thing *shudders*

Balad of Fallen Angels was the last episode? Maybe I just downloaded them wrong :D That one was pretty cool, if I recall.
 
Cowboy Bepop and Trigun, the last episode of CB was the best.

    Mayo also has vinegar. Vinegar is a very important part of it, it's effectively a delivery method FOR vinegar but hidden

    It's a neat ingredient. But yeah it's eggs. But a LOT of people think eggs count as dairy because of the fucking food pyramid the US keeps trying to make a thing
  • Varine Varine:
    I think on the new one they did change it, but idk. I don't really care whatever the government is doing right now because it's consistently absurd. Like what is RFK doing in charge of health anything? I love the bear story because WTF was that, but also, pretty much every time he talks it's WTF. Like even his voice sounds microwaved

    The pyramid is fucking dumb as shit, no matter how you arrange it.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's actually remarkably easy to make mayonnaise though. Fun fact, it USED to kind of be a French mother sauce. I believe that Careme considered it one, it may have been aioli but that has also built a different meaning than it used to. An aioli is just mayonnaise I mixed with other shit typically, I didn't start it don't come at me
  • Varine Varine:
    It's very hard to do it on a large scale though
  • Varine Varine:
    Depending on how you pour the oil the consistency can vary wildly, but that's true for most emulsions. I can only make about two quarts at a time with my robo coup, and if I have to make several in series because I forgot to order it becomes really obvious even when I do it. We have to wait and mix them all together to make sure we have the same thing.
  • Varine Varine:
    Hollandaise is also kind of like that, emulsions require a very steady hand to do exactly the same every time.
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

  • Varine Varine:
    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know
