Noir, Madlax, El Cazador De La Bruja. I like these. .Hack//Sign I did not like. Too boring.
Bee Train also assists with many other shows. I think they are a decent studio.
Plus they work with Yuki Kajiura a lot and that gets brownie points from me.

Yuki Kajiura works with everybody a lot. She composes soundtracks, OPs/EDs.
I know she does, because Yuki Kajiura is really goddamned talented and I love her music.
She works on just about ever Bee Train production though. I have long associated her music with that studio despite her work being used elsewhere. Oh I forgot to list Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. Season 1 anyway. Im not as fond of season 2.
The whole Noir, Madlax, El Cazador "Girls with Guns" trilogy isn't all that great, per se, but there's a certain flavor to them, I think.
Its a flavor I find pleasing to my palate.
I was looking for another girls with guns show like Noir and I stumbled upon Gunslinger girl.
Interesting how things get discovered sometimes.
There is definitely a severe lack of good spaceship art in anime today. Nowadays we get crap like CG dagger ships.
Weird... I was looking for a girls with guns show and ended up finding strike witches. That was a happy day indeed.
...kinda want.
I would have to agree with this actually.
Also, I want that credit card design
I have a Chase Slate Visa CC and its the most boring looking piece of shit thing.
No, I bought one of those.

Anime-wise, there's Gunbuster, Voices of a Distant Star and TO (episode 1) that I've seen. They all deal with the cost of space travel, but Gunbuster makes it that much more tragic.

Maybe it's just slipping my mind, but I'm trying to think of what TO stand for here.
Well I use my credit card for Internet shopping so it wouldn't affect me.
Same, mostly.
I so totally would.

So i just came back from strolling around yuyuan garden in shanghai, which has a fairly large shopping area, and weird clashes of stuff like this dairy queen landmark.
while walking around i noticed this shop with the awesome name of "superman toys" that sold all kind of anime and japanese and american models and toys and what not.
Just look at all the cool shit in the glass display.
Also the best thing is the wall ofshame :chet
Love standing far away and see how many dudes stopped and stared/poked. Good times.
Bought myself a mini cheese kun for about $15.
hope i don't die from lead poisoning!

Aren't these from one of the recent OP movies?

I wish we had stores like that.
Be careful for fakes though.
I would have bought that motorcycle figure of Saber but the design of the bike is horrible. It detracts from it a lot.
Also one of those mousepads appears to be....buttcheeks. I think of Super sonico.

I never said it was the worse!
Oh god it loops!
I would normally make fun of stupidity like this but really it isn't much worse than zodiac signs which are prevalent in western culture. Then again both of them are pretty laughable so I don't know!
That said, Worst traits: Vain, rude, jealous, arrogant
Edit:
There's a reason why they call them Shitake mushrooms!

i'd seriously probably have bought a few mousepads on impulse if my grandma wasn't with me.
And i kinda don't wanna be hold up at customs for it on my way back to the states :/

You took your grandmother into a figurine store?
I will admit I once showed my parents a store because of the hilarious merchandise like the Mario hats that looked like they had scalped him and of course those mousepads. Of course this is the UK so the rest of the store was worthless (Naruto headbands and bottles of Bleach) so I wasn't going to waste their time staying there.
I don't even remember my height and weight.

Emergency reasons? I dunno how it is in the US, but here I have my blood type written clearly on my identity card, and I've known what it was since I was a kid. Just in case anyone is in an accident, knowing your blood type and contact details makes it much easier for the hospital to deal with an emergency.
Oh wait, I forgot there's no health care in the US. Nevermind!

I have medical coverage by my employer, but thats pretty much how it has to be done in the states. Blood type is not listed on my ID/drivers license.

Point does remain though that knowing your bloodtype/having it be easily accessible in emergency situations can save vital time in case of an accident and potentially save your life.
Plus you get to indulge on stupid Japanese blood-type reading!
True, but where's the adventure in that?
Honestly I would like to know my blood type actually.

then they would use universal blood and wouldn't waste time with your driver license.
and in any other situations are blood tests cheap and fast enough.
O- is the rarer, more scarce blood they get donations of though, not to mention there's a 10 year highest shortage of blood in blood banks right now >.>

ooh finally, transformation sequences. And now everyone is adults, i don't feel uncomfortable with them stripping naked! Even got the good old boob bounce.
Don't get why the dude doesn't go naked when he transforms though. Sexist!
And baddy with face hidden. Oh noe!
Dragon girl is quite cute. Am pretty surprised that the same folks that do the show do the movies though.
The quality difference is quite jarring.

Yes, kinda makes sense since O- is a pretty rare bloodtype to have to begin with, it is the universal donor though. (and is also pretty valuable cause people with O- can only receive O- blood)

If I remember what people said, they still trim down the ops and eds of anime on toonami, so I couldnt imagine how a shorter version of either song would sound, or if they do like naruto xd and play commercial sounds over the ed...
I didnt think any of the female characters in that were relevant, they werent even good or memorable assets for simon or kamina or viral.
If you like Sentai Filmworks then they have good selection, otherwise its pretty slim on the pickings, anime is slowly updated, disc anime are missing discs. I can imagine one would run through the section in about two or three months, but its kinda worth it.

There wouldn't be any point in having the Madoka Card if you couldn't show it off to anyone!
Whatever happened to personal gratification?
Yeah. I could use one more hnnng item in my room always.

Fram Nara in the Fawnfarsia and Girard Spriggan in the Theileva (best EFF suit) are actually nice antagonists for the protagonists. Fram is interesting in that she seems she has a love interest for Zehearto so it kind of improves her skills, making her a competant opponent for Kio and the way his C-funnels defend against their projectiles is exciting, and Girards past was emotional. Zehearto v Ash is still my favorite fight on this battlefield

nice how Ash wasnt affected by that huge X rounder burst at the end there

I don't know the idea of a Kyubei/Bank contract analogy is enough for me. It's almost as good as Saya antivirus.
