But are there magical girls and devil fruits .
This is true, but anime fighting is way more exciting for me.
Call me when Shawn Michaels throws... I don't know, Ultimate Warrior, into a mountain and Warrior counters it with a giant energy beam that wipes out an entire ecosystem.
Andrex vote means I'll probably check it out then. I like a good balance of comedy in my anime instead of all serious or all comedy, though there are some exceptions. I can always dig on a good slice of life anime as well. The last one I really enjoyed was Ano Hana
I know Mushishi is one, but what's the other?
I really don't watch a ton of anime on a regular basis. It tends to be more binge watching every so often.
So anime
He'd feel right at home on Bleach.
He is used to giving pointless 20 minute monologues that lead nowhere, so that's pretty spot on.
I'm pretty sure Warrior believes this actually happened.

Detroit Metal City should be near the top of any best comedy anime list.
Legitimately the hardest I've laughed at a single anime ever.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3 is probably a safe bet though I've been eyeing Ping Pong for a while, crossing my fingers on that one.
Initial impressions of Isshuukan Friends seem positive as well.

Was? The dude still is! Don't believe me, watch some of his youtube vids. I don't know what it is about repeated blows to the head and pain medication abuse that cause people to lose their rationale.

I wonder when the next movie night will be
Could be announced at the Momocon panel. That's seven weeks away.

I assume they will have something over the summer
JoJo Part 3.
I am a fan of the manga and the OVA so I am looking forward to the story being mostly adapted into the anime. JoJo's part 1 and 2 were pretty great minus some weird hiccups here and there.
Will add it to my to watch list after AD.
Another anime/manga I need to get around to watching. I've heard nothing but good things about JoJo as well. I might need to make a list of stuff to watch...
Also, I second Detroit Metal City.
Oh... I had forgot that existed....
I remember hearing a rather lackluster response to the movie, that's about it. Never watched it.
...Hmm, has Funi said anything about the movie's release?

Will hold out on seeing Eva 3.0/3.33 until I see it with you guys, won't stop me from buying the blu ray/dvd for my collection though
Here are my rankings for the three movies:
2.22
1.11
3.33
1.11
3.33
Why I ranked them that way:
2.22 is the best of the three by a decent margin because of how both classic and new the story is. It also ends on a pretty awesome note. Didn't care for the extra Eva pilot, she's pretty unnecessary overall.
1.11 is next because it's a pretty good retelling of the first portion of the anime and has good build up to the end. Nice setup for 2.22
3.33 is by far the worst due to where it starts and goes from 2.22. It does goes go in a vastly different direction with the plot, but while gutsy, it is overly confusing and seems to focus on the bits of Eva that were either dumb or depressing. Anno really fucked up with the third movie. The best thing about it is the animation, which remains top notch.
These are by no way reviews of the movies, but just the same, I'd avoid reading these if you haven't seen all three.

I hope we get something else before then, though idk what. (Inb4 month of Miyazaki talk)
As far as I know, just movie 8 (Alabasta recap) and those two.
They should really get 4, 5, or 6, all would fit in well right now (and 4 and 6 are the best of the early ones).
Don't forget Movie 2, that one was a lot of fun.
True. Movie 7 was also good, minus the ridiculous jiggling.
Really, out of the first 7 OP movies, you'll probably enjoy yourself with each of them except Movie 3.

For some reason I'm really craving pizza tonight, might have to get some delivery..
There's this neat little mom and pop shop down the road from me; they're expensive but the price is worth it.
