So, it's official. I have a new anime mistress. It's been an affair of patience trying to get ahold of it, but god-damn has it been worth it. It started with Caleb making a reccomendation for me way back in my archives. I tried to follow it but got nowhere because the only person in posession of this holy grail of animation happened to be the man in charge of my entire DC++ hub. No slots available. Ever. So I waited. And I waited. One day Binkle told me that I could open DC++ temp files in any media player, so I looked through my huge temp folder to try and find things to throw away. I only had one episode of this masterpice, and I'm ashamed to say that I liked it, but didn't realize its full potential. At the time I was too budy trying to download Full Metal Panic (and also getting nowhere). Finally, I got Strong DC++ which got me back into downloading with a vengeance. I went back and tried to find all the series that I'd been recommended. Once again I focused mainly on FMP, but I also had this series queuing in the bakcground as well. Well, As of now I have all of FMP:Fumoffu, all but one episode of FMP:TSR, and still none of the original FMP. And I worry that I won't have it all by the time I leave school. But, yesterday, while I was also worrying about my ever shrinking hard drive (1.23Gb remaining as of 1:15 this afternoon. Wolfgang WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!?!?!), I noticed that this series had finished downloading compeltely! Well, not completely, I'm missing episodes 7 and 22 (which I'd DLed tranlated into French). But I loaded up the first one and got down to being totally fucking amazed. When Cowboy Bebop shot me in the face with its soundtrack I didn't think it could happen again so quickly. But I was dead wrong.
This is the first anime I've ever seen with an all hip-hop soundtrack, full of deft scratching and phat beets. The first episosde stole me in a way that no other series has yet, with its emphasis on telling the story in conjunction with said phat beets and awsome turn-table work. The transitions in this show are intense, often set perfectly with the soundtrack. If-If-If-If a scene starts with a soundcue like the start of this sentence then the start of the scene will also loop with it in between the end of the last scene and the start of the new one. It's awsome. The attention to detail between the soundtrack and the scene is amazing. It caught me, and held me tight until I'd burned through the first 6 episodes. Then I went and got dinner. At 9:30. Blake, if you're coming here on the weekend, we're watching this. A lot.
This is the face of my new love.

Well, as it stands, I`m comin.
No lie.
Cool. When? Friday night? Saturday morning? Afternoon? I can't remember if we hammered it out before or not. Also, it's your job to try anf get Wolfgang to come along as well, maybe not for the whole time. He needs to fix my computer.
ah, so your modus operandi is not amalgam, it`s Wolfgang`s appearance in your cramped dorm room.
I invited him last night. I wrote that comment on my way out, so I didn`t have time to elaborate. He says he might come, by the same token, he might not. That wolfgang, I`m tellin ya, he`s a wild card.
...as well as the only person readily and cheaply available to fix your computer.
CHAMPLOO LOOKS AMAZING!
download it all, burn it to a DVD and give me it!
Matter of fact, burn all of your anime for me, I will pay you.
