Well, heres that Gainax show that took GIR out of the whorehouse he was working in and gave him a new job! Its nice seeing him get some work, but I gotta say its a bit on the simple side for my tastes, what with the fart and shit jokes, but the ending is pretty ridiculous, and Gainax produces some of the only Japanese animation I can stand without wishing I was the drinking type, so Im looking forward to more.
As for GIR, I dont talk to him much, not since that episode of Intervention where I was called in to help talk him out of his heroin and whoring, but that was pretty much a bust. I DONT HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM was pretty much all he screamed during the whole thing and just anyone mentioning him gets that running through my head like an unwelcome reverse mantra. Stresses me out, man.
Im not gonna lie, I get a kick out of the stories I hear about him disillusioning fans who dont know just how much time has passed since he starred in that ZIM show, the kids running up and asking him some silly thing, making sure to pepper it with quotes or words they think will make them more relatable to this beloved character of theirs only to get vomited on and, berated and then assaulted, sometimes sexually, by a dried up, ghoulish shade of a one-time cartoon darling. Thats just funny.
He seems a little underused in those new show, but I guess thats about as good as they can hope for with whats left of his mind after all the heroin. Hopping around and making little grunting noises is a far cry from his former glory days, but whatre ya gonna do, ya know? At least itll make the kids happy.
