"Oh look now he's coming in lying down between to burger buns"...why?
What's that? Random isn't funny?
But that was 9 minutes spent on Baseball. It wasn't randomly adding scenes to try and be funny. All of them were related to the topic in some way. Bo is just....WTF is this? Cromartie isn't anywhere near annoying as Bobobobo(just the title itself is annoying).

Say what you will. I think it's random in a different manner, like how scenes would randomly add something that doesn't belong in the scene or like how certain character features might be expanded or shrunk for no real reason at all. It's mostly background randomness.
Here's the episode I originally posted:

I really need to watch this series now...
RE: General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread - MexicanAnime - 04-16-2013
Started Bakemonogatari a few nights ago. While there are some dodgy camera angels here and there, the dialogue really makes the show with all of it's wordplay and references. Match in some amusing character so far with an interesting style and you have me hooked thus far.
RE: General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread - Mass Distraction - 04-17-2013
Ooh, good to know. That series is on my "stuff I need to watch" list. Along with like a hundred other things.
Okay... What the actual fuck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWZRuk-i0LY#t=9m38s

Pootan is too busy with his tax return to play today.

I have now finished Soul Eater, a very underwhelming anime in my opinion, the way the story was unfolding it had much more potential, but in the end it just flopped.

Thought the anime was pretty decent when I watched it as it also had Medusa, one of my favorite villains to come out of a shonen series. If you ever want, you can check out the manga as the anime differed from the manga about halfway through, in where many of the manga fans say it's much better than the show.

Maybe I'll give it a read, but I'm not sure if I'd finish it or not if I started. I've always found it a bit hard for me to read mangas just because I don't really get immersed in the story as well as with a regular book...I don't really have an explanation for it.

I'm more of an anime person myself as I love all the that's put into it from the animation to the music that sets the tone. If you look at my manga list, there's not much on there.
That, and I always prefer having a physical copy when reading a manga series as it feels more relaxed for me and I can read it where I please. Not sure if I really want to spend $10 a pop on one volume that will last me a little less than an hour though.
RE: General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread - MexicanAnime - 04-20-2013
Just finished Katanagatari, which was fantastic with it's lovable characters (from heroes to villains) and with it's well done story (albeit not original). Mix it in with a unique visual style and a soundtrack that mixes hip hop and others genres to make it really stick out.
Since I know the last episode tends to receive mixed opinions -

Anyways, the Devil Survivor 2 anime is now streaming on Crunchyroll in the US. Here are some 48 hour guest passes I have left over for Crunchyroll, if anyone wants them. Feel free to use them. They give them out all the time and mine always end up expiring because I don't have anyone to give them to:

It'll let you watch newest simulcasts, in HD, without commercials on a device (like the PS3 or iPad) with those.
Oh, and before I forget. Thanks for letting me use the guest passes as I quite love watching videos on CR.

There's a new AMV Hell movie! This one was definitely the best after AMV Hell 3.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I SPENT THE ENTIRE 7-9 pm WATCHING THIS. I didn't know these were still being made. Also, ALL THE CHOCOLATE!

Finally finished Bakemonogatari, which would rank somewhere now in my top ten.
Not only is the show pretty to look at and unique with it's camera angles and avant garde style, but the dialogue was intriguing for me to the very end, whether it be about them talking about some sort of supernatural phenomenon or just casual talk. While some of the characters are not as developed as I was expecting (Sengoku and Shinbo, though I believe they will in Nise perhaps), they're still very amusing and interesting on their own, making for wonderful discussion with Araragi. Senjogahara and Kanbaru being two that have become some of my favorite female characters in anime to come out in a while.
Going to check out Nisemonogatari soon.

Which was the last one you had seen? They also have a YT channel with short AMV Hell episodes: https://www.youtube.com/user/amvhell Currently waiting for season 3.
