huffing the vapors from the feathers of the angel of death

[phosfate]

Sharon kindly donated her old Noir VHSes, so Mom and I watched the first two last night.

Watching anime with Mom is like going to the movies with Meatwad: "Is this a cartoon?" "Is she going to kill her?" "Are they bad guys?" "Is that the same girl from before?" "This is called what now?" "Did she kill them?" "Is he dead?" "What's her name again?" "What happened to that guy from before?"

Fortunately Noir has lots and lots of pauses.

Me, I'm wondering why Mirielle uses a mousepad when her desk is a GIANT FELT-COVERED POOL TABLE.

Awww CRAP. Is that a spoiler?

*Cringes*

No. "Death" means "end" and "Spike" means "series."

Sorry, I should have just expressed my disappointment with the spoiler rather than make it sound so accusatory. These things happen, and it's not as if it's a current run show.

I've been watching unspoiled... and bloody slowly because the SO, who is also watching, has been out of town a lot. Frustration!

'sallright, I understand your pain. I got spoiled for it about two weeks ago.

But seriously, woman... You must see it. And when you have seen it, you must draw me a Spike.

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

I shall endeavor to do both, mon brave.

::does her best impersonating Ed::
Ann-Ann will draw me a giftart! Souvenir-souvenir!

Squee! ::huggles the lucky Ed-impersonator::

:D

Speaking of Spike...

Mindless doodling with a friend.

Lower leftish...Spike! And an eyeless Faye!

Augh! Augh! No!!!!!!

Now I think I know why you're upset.

Don't worry, though. You can debate about it after you see everything.

And do I have to come out there and tie the SO to a chair so you'll watch it?

Re: CB

I don't really think chair tying is necessary, unless you just want to. Jupiter Jazz parts 1&2 are up for tonight. If I can stay awake that long.

What ep number is that? I don't remember the names...just the numbers. Although I do remember Mushroom Samba. Bwahahaha.

Re: CB

Session 12.

Re: CB

[danakate.livejournal.com]

Oohhhh, I think that's actually one of the Arc episodes. Sessions 5, 12, 13, 25, and 26 are the only ones that kind of depend on having watched the previous ones. Incidentally, they canceled CB after 12 and 13 in Japan, I think.

Re: CB

[swussian.livejournal.com]

I think they had to re-cut 12 and 13 because... blood and stuff, I suppose. Anyway, they made it into one episode and had an extra episode instead. It was called Session XX and consisted of clips from other episodes with the craracters voice overs. Or something ^^;

Re: CB

[danakate.livejournal.com]

The rumors I heard were that there was an increase in gang activity in Japan, so they cut it because parts of CB have to do with Spike and the syndicate or something like that. I have Session XX and was exactly what you said. :D

Re: CB

[swussian.livejournal.com]

Session XX is the only thing Cowboy bebop that I have not seen. A part of me wants to see it and a part of me wants to wait, because after I'm done with it, theer will be no more Bebop. Except for the manga and it's oogly.

Re: CB

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

Did the manga get any better with the second series?

Re: CB

[swussian.livejournal.com]

I have only seen scans. They looked godawful And I have read what intelligent people said bout the manga... And I think I'll rather read Faye X Ed doujunshi...

Re: CB

[danakate.livejournal.com]

The manga is...weird. I read the first volume of both series (Shooting Star being the second) and SS is...weirdly drawn.

As for Bebop, we can only hope they'll keep doing "in series" movies.
