Ooh fun. I'm so yanking this. (Er *glances at clock* as soon as I get back from work and have a moment.)

I second Hayao Miyazaki's genius in the movie department. Ghibli makes good stuff.

I liked the Loki Iron Chief cook-off thingy too. Yamino didn't get nearly enough time to shine in the series. And HEY it was actually mostly canon!

Though, with the doing the letters of your name in a list of characters, I'm reminded vaguely of all those year ago back in anime club proposing that a true otaku should 'be able to recite the ABC's in anime titles' and happily watching the fallout.

I take it they didn't quite buy the idea

[spicy_diamond]

Everyone bought the ABC's idea right up until Q. Then we all got stuck and decided it was stupid. ^.^0

I have noticed in the library it's the obscure stuff more often than not that you can actually find the first volumes on the shelves. (Which might go to explain some of my preferences, actually.) The popular stuff rotates too fast if you don't bother to put holds on things.

Beyond that, I gave up on trying to watch the stuff on tv YEARS ago. (Between Dub and tv editing it's not the same at all.) So I'm sorta out of synch with what's popular at the moment over here. (Beyond the big three of Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece that is >.>) So, although I don't read Marth Grimes, I do get the reference.

Still there's always a point where you never know what you know until you actually stop to think about it.

Well, right now everything that seems to be super popular with the semi-adult crowd is on at around 2 a.m. which lets me out. So I hear about Bleach. I hear about Death Note. I've heard about various other odds and ends over the years. Will I ever see them

We had Netflix for awhile and I think that in addition to borrowing from other people at anime club helped expand my anime know-how database in the beginning. (Now I just watch stuff as it airs in Japan and wait to get the pretty version as DVD's come out oh so slowly over here.)

Staying up til two to watch something dubbed just isn't worth it in my opinion.

(Quincy might have worked if we were person/places/things in addition to titles. (Er...that is, if Bleach was out at that point...I don't think it was.)But yeah... titles are sparse. There's a Queen something-or-other or two but they're old school enough that none of us knew em.)

Well, I know some people who are doing so -- but they are younger, with more energy, than I am. In college I might have made the effort also

Sombody's Mom...

[anonymous]

Actually in the commercial the Mom wasn't animated, though some folks remember her being "attached to the eggbeater, in some pre-cgi sort of way.

Re: Sombody's Mom...

[starwefter]

Probably good old bluescreen...

It's been years -- I thought she was animated too -- the eggbeater sure was, and I think the river/pond/whatever it was...

Tried to find a copy of it on YouTube, which often has this sort of odd thing, but couldn't...
