timepiececlockOh, I like the new Adult Swim ad campaign and title design. Witty. And informative.
What is this thing I'm watching? It's called Kikaider.
Neat musical score. Expensive animation. Nice dub scripting. Weird retro character design. No idea what the plot is. But dang, I do like the score.
UncleK and 5-year-old-cousin are here. They're sleeping We leave tomorrow to other cousins for the twins.' graduation.
::looks at tv::
_ Oh! Violence! Someone's choking their friend for unexplained reasons?!
_ Huh. A black guy. Who looks like a black guy. Not a regular thing in anime.
_ o.@ Uh-uuuhhhh. Someone's rationalizing. She shouldn't do that. She'll get choked again.
Anyway, found out that UncleK has a mild interest in anime. Whee!
Spent a grocery trip explaining the main plot/backstory of InuYasha, of which he'd seen only one episode.
Told him to watch Trigun and Cowboy Bebop post-haste.
Huhnn. Kikaider is getting weird. I'm kind of interested though.
Also found out UncleK has watched BTVS on and off. Spike is his favorite character. K wanted to know what happened to him, if he ever got Buffy. I explained Spike's multi-season character arcs and associated multi-layered themes (K was a wonderful appreciate/intereactive audience) and final death, including Spuffy!luv and Spike's own redemption in finding the good in himself.
UncleK made good point that there is a theme here of "He is redeemed by her love", which is the same theme from The Matrix, when Trinity symbolically brought Neo back to life with a kiss.
If I didn't already love my Uncle for being a nice guy and a blood relative, I'd love him extra for that.
I adore chatting with other fans. They just get it. And want to talk about it too. Young or old, male or female, tv book or movie, fans are fans and the rest of the world will simply never understand.
Oh... the Kikaider closing credits are attractive. And have more of that cool music.
EDIT: Ahh! I like this episode of IY. It has that cool fireside conversation between Inuyasha, Shippo, and Miroku. The one where Miroku points out that if InuYasha becomes a full demon using the jewel, he'd likely murder Kagome and Shippo. Shippo asks why him and not Miroku. Miroku calmly and cooly points out that he would have fled long before that point. I liked this conversation, for the Inuyasha brooding and for the fact that it points how much more mature and rational Miroku is than the rest of them. It was a very multileveled scene with lots of subtext.
