I have never seen Samurai Champloo and I think about 5 episodes of Cowboy Bebop
5 episodes is enough to get a gist of Cowboy Bebop. Is it not to your liking?

At the time not really. But to be really honest I cannot tell you why. I forgot why it didn't really hit the right cords. Might be worth to try again.
So what is Samurai Champloo like? Is it for 'adults'? (And by that I mean theme and violence... not hentai shit)
Shinichirō Watanabe created both, so they are similar at the core. The key difference being Samurai Champloo is set in medieval Japan. It's coloured lighter, and the atmosphere is pretty much about three friends on a journey.
I suggest you give Cowboy Bebop a rest. It's not a good idea to force anything. Come back to it when its rainy some day in the future. It's one of those series where I wish I could watch again for the first time. It just epitomises understated haphazard coolness.
Lol. I was gonna just write about Samurai Champloo.

I remember hearing once from a friend at Williams St. how they killed Big O season 3.
I enjoyed it, too, so it was sad that it ended like that.

There was a huge anti-anime sentiment at Williams Street at the time. They wanted to use the money that Turner was paying for one series and spend it on six ones they made in-house.
Eventually that side won, partially because Big O ratings and DVD sales weren't great.

Definitely some good suggestions for you so far.
I'd add Outlaw Star, which I believe fits your above description quite well, and Trigun.

Yeah, Trigun is pretty awesome. I think Puddles may appreciate the theme tune too.
I was wondering if that was where you came from.
That one is too much for me, man. It's very well done, no doubt.

The anime more than justified its existence with the opening music.

? How long are each of your terms? It seems kind of strange for a term to be ending in February.
(I'm a college instructor so anything school-related makes me curious)

Teeeeeeechnically it's a semester but I don't like that word >_>
Also teaching for it ended in December and we had exams in January.
Nope.
Hahaha, there's only one university I'm aware of in the states that has the "offset" schedule. My brother works there

I haven't seen one of those shows. Except some Gundam Wing eps.

There's a curve, right?

So far so good. I had to put a collapsed hoop in the center to give it more structure. It'll be less oblate when worn on account of my waist and legs being wider than I have it tied here. But I really should have tried to think of something to put inside to round it out more. I can still do this if I have time, but this might be more a matter of "whelp, use it in defective mode this time, then take it into storage and have it sit there until it's needed again (likely around Halloween, eh?), but then actually plan out proper internals.
Oh, there will be eyes and a scary mouth in black on the front, so it's clearer what it is.
It's a Jack-o-lantern. Or it will be, once it's done and properly poofed out.
Also, welcome to my house. Party's in a day and three weeks.

The "Graphics" class is obviously score in terms of bits. You just don't get cooler than 64 bits.
do the math

You're such a 'crafty' guy, GW. I don't think a pumpkin is up to your skills, though. You need something more challenging. One day I'll be motivated enough to do a decent costume. ^_^
Black Lagoooooooooon! So badass. Watch it, Puddles!

I just got a bunch of angry messages because I defriended someone on Facebook. The thing is, I've only met her like twice. It wasn't even personal. Oh well.
I didn't know I was that important.
So what was the reason you de-friended her? Cleaning up your profile or what?
I don't think I'd notice it if I got defriended.

I feel silly for not understanding this :C

My mom can hardly use email and for that I'm grateful. No Just Dance for her.
Btw, how's the injury? Any better?
Mostly, yeah. But also because she would always post about how much she loves her boyfriend and other mundane bullshit. It was annoying.
I don't get it either.
Code Geass.
Middle aged men like fast cars? I'm lucky my dad never (yet?) felt the need to buy an expensive and fast car.
Expensive GUITARS well, that something different (but he already has his dream guitar.)
Injury is much better. Almost healed! I'll definitely be able to do a lot of drawing today.
Also, my dad has put like 200 hours into Fishing Resort. I'm amazed there is that much content. He even avoids doing quests whenever he can (he hates talking to people, even in a game.)
I assume he means this?

Internet. ALWAYS SERIOUS BUSINESS.
The point is that you can have cake OR eat it. Once you've eaten it you no longer have it. So you can't do both (unless you have a ton of cake I suppose.)

Mornin', Tence. ^_^ I finally have some time to indulge in my internet addiction. Coffee and web news/neo makes for a fine vacation. How are things with you, awesome artist?

Things are fine. Enjoying the fact it is friday night. Having an icecold Amstel beer and just ordered two secondhand little LEGO sets I used to have as a kid. 14 euro well spent on nostalgia.
The missus is out with friends for another two hours... so I can hang out on the couch with my laptop without feeling any guilt

Good to hear it! I hate random muscle pulls. You feel helpless while waiting for them to mend. And yay for Fishing Resort! Such a meaty game. ^_^ Funny that he's avoiding quests. No one really talks in the game, but I guess those are 'wordy' RPG elements.
Get off gaf and concentrate on that pool game! Our honor is at stake!
