WHY did no one TELL me that Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi was a Gainax WTF?! series? People ehre and there have told me that they liked it and that it was good and that it was this, that, and the other, none of which really made it sound appealing, but nobody ever mentioned the magic words, which are IT'S A GAINAX WTF?! SERIES!

Well, the reason that series is good is because it's a Gainax WTF series. :D .... I recommend the dub; it made it loads funnier.

Well, way too many people recommend things as funny or good or whatever and they leave me completely cold. But I'll watch any Gainax WTF?! series. :)

I've got the first DVD now, since it turned up on my Netflix list. I'mw atching the dub because I was going to leave it on in the background while I worked on art, but I can't do anything but watch it now. XD

The dub is excellent. :D

I also recommend Jungle wa itsumo Hare nochi Guu. .... It's so obscenely twisted.

[rushthatspeaks.livejournal.com]

Ditto on the Guu rec. Not Gainax, but *actually crazier*.

I dunno. I saw a few Guu episodes, and while I thought the opening was pretty amusing, I got bored after :(

What?! You didn't know?! Well, then again, if you haven't seen the serious you wouldn't know all the insane self references the use in the series. They use the Eva battle music in the robot fights scenes in Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, I found that awesome. Ya, I'm a Gainax fanboy. There's a bunch of friggin awesome Gainax anime being broadcast in Japan right now, which (hopefully) will make it to the US soon. Some of the Ganaix stuff is Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2nd Gig which is fscking awesome. C'mon anything from Gainax and Production I.G is bound to rock. FLCL obviously. Top Wo Nerae 2! (aka Gunbuster) is from the people who did FLCL, but its not like FLCL so don't expect as much wackiness or Pillows, but it is awesome. (Nono rocks and Onee-sama is a cutie.) Mahromatic is from Gainax x Shaft and the same people also did This Ugly And Beatiful World. Both are hilarious though the latter is a bit darker. He Is My Master is also Gainax x Shaft and is so retardedly funny I think it gives Abenobashi and Guu a run for their money. Like Abenobashi it has a ton of self references to their other anime. I hear His & Her Circumstances is great, but haven't seen it myself yet.

I guess my Gainax fanboy rant is over. hehe, fun stuff

Really, I hadn't mentioned that? Hm, maybe I haven't. Well, I don't like it as much as FLCL because I felt it didn't have as much heart, which was what I was hoping for in addition to the WTF-crack, but in the end, it won me over a little bit.

Sorry, this was one of the very, very few times I thought that 1) I'd already mentioned it to you or 2) assumed you already knew before I did or 3) both 1 and 2.

Mea culpa.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

:D I'm not actually sure you ever mentioned it to me.

Really, all anyone needs to do to sell me on something is go "It's a Gainax WTF?! series" and I'll watch it with no more information than that.

[mistressrenet.livejournal.com]

No one asked. Also, I haven't seen it yet. XD

[telophase.livejournal.com]

Oh SURE! Just make piddly little excuses like not having seen it!
