Animation Revelation Forum

Remember this thread from the old board?

We all have our distinguished vices on this board (EK with Ninja Gaiden, Foggle with Excel Saga, Desen with KOTH, Chalmers with cars, Insommy with British TV, and so on), but of all the things you know about the above post, what five particular subjects remind you of them more than anything?

I'll start up by saying what reminds me of EK without bringing up NG or Yu Yu Hakusho, just to prove that I can.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (his favorite movie and a damn fine one at that. There's one birthday card I always find that plays the theme from the film which I want to send to him some day)
The Untouchables (another damn fine movie that is close to him, and one he recommended to me.)
Great Teacher Onizuka (another damn fine recommendation I've taken from him. I like it enough to use the character's name elsewhere, and he should know what I'm talking about)
Pharmacy (what he's majoring in now. I know he has a lot of work going on right now in school, but I understand that it's an open market, so he should find a good job before long)
Futurama (one of our favorites, and we still quote and talk about it to this day on and off the forum)

You don't need to write a reason for each choice, but I wanted to myself. Let's see what you can come up with for me. ;)

Classic cartoons - Specifically Looney Tunes and Disney movies. Probably because you so willingly gush about them at the drop of a hat, but also because you know they deserve that attention.
Metal - Not exactly hard to forget that you like it, but also that you seem to span the chasm of the genre and not just stick in one safe area of it like most on the internet.
Chats - I mean, good GOD, man.
EE&E - Since you're basically the one who got me to understand it better, and again, you obviously love it a lot.
Glee - In an ironic way, I assure you.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (his favorite movie and a damn fine one at that. There's one birthday card I always find that plays the theme from the film which I want to send to him some day)

Heh, Yeah, I can't deny my love for this movie. I was actually planning to start a thread either specifically for this movie or Westerns in general (probably the ladder since its a more broad topic). Its easily my favorite film by Sergio Leone (which kind of goes without saying being that its my personal favorite film ever), and some of you may not know this, but based on my usual taste in films and entertainment in general, there is a bit of irony in the fact that I find this particular movie to be my favorite. I'll elaborate on that on the thread I start later on, though.

QuoteThe Untouchables (another damn fine movie that is close to him, and one he recommended to me.)

I'm really glad that somebody finally associated me with this film. One thing I will say is that its a bit unique in its style, in that normally this type of movie would try to be more gritty and realistic, but this film is highly romanticized and optimistic. A film like that, to me, can be excellent if done right, or terrible if its not handled perfectly; and let me just say that while I do love a good deal of optimistic attitudes in my film, even if its unrealistically so, its much harder to make a convincingly good movie that can pull that off and in many cases it falls flat. To me, The Untouchables is the perfect example of how to pull this type of film off right, and it really excels at it for me. Its the only other film that I have re-watched as much as GBU. ;)

QuoteGreat Teacher Onizuka (another damn fine recommendation I've taken from him. I like it enough to use the character's name elsewhere, and he should know what I'm talking about)

Compared to the others its a more recent love of mine, but I can't deny that I adore this series nonetheless. I think JO hit the nail on the head when she described what it is that is so captivating about this series, especially for me. It doesn't try to be moral or preachy in that kids should study harder and listen to higher authority and all that shit. It emphasizes almost the exact opposite, in that Onizuka rather encourages his students to drop whatever bull-crap some adults fed them if it makes them so miserable to become stuck-up little douche-bags in the first place, and kind of points out that its like the first step towards becoming the type of people that they hate. Of course, aside from all this junk, it also helps that its a damn fine comedy, and one of the few anime that I find to have legitimately funny humor (personally).

QuotePharmacy (what he's majoring in now. I know he has a lot of work going on right now in school, but I understand that it's an open market, so he should find a good job before long)

Incidentally I have started working at a Rite-Aid Philadelphia. It takes me a bit over and hour to get their, and also another hour or so to get back, through public transportation, but in its own way its a worthwhile experience. Currently I've gotten in 16 out of the 80 total hours of required work experience that I need to have completed by this semester. Its a damn good thing that my preceptor is a nice guy, and that one of my friends has the same preceptor so we can occasionally go to work together.

QuoteFuturama (one of our favorites, and we still quote and talk about it to this day on and off the forum)

I think that this is a series that we all love, but despite my contrasting love for South Park compared to everyone else on this board, I have no problem agreeing that this is one of the best animated comedy shows ever made. To me, personally, it has a balance of both humor and some serious bits mixed in (in that its mostly comedy-based, as it should be, but that makes those few scenes with a bit more drama all the more touching, despite being rare occurrences in and of themselves within the series). In terms of comedy, though, I feel it to be a perfect blend of all of the best elements from all of the other great animated comedies, like The Simpsons and various others.

Heh, well that's a great list Avaitor. I'd like to create one for you, but before I do that it looks as though I must do one for Desensitized first, since he's the poster above me. Just give me a moment to think....

Desensitized:

Naoki Urasawa (For the longest time I had always heard Desensitized praising this guy like he was his lover, and kind of shrugging off his works as stuff that I would eventually look into and that might be pretty good, but I wasn't sure if I'd find anything by this mangaka to be the best manga ever written like Desensitized emphasized....and for what its worth, he was absolutely right: Naoki Urasawa IS the best mangaka in existence, and of all time, as far as I'm concerned, and he's also one of the best writers on the entire planet, as far as I'm concerned)

King of the Hill (An obvious choice that could possibly apply to more people than just Desensitized, but still, he loves this series for good reasons, and talking about it reminds me that I still need to watch more episodes of this show)

2D Platformers (Its his favorite genre in gaming, and for good reason: because it IS the best genre in gaming :sly: )

BECK: The Mongolian Chop Squad (A manga series that I need to start reading sometime)

Batman: The Brave and the Bold (Alright, maybe this is a bit of a stretch since I don't know if its one of Desensitized's favorites, but in all honesty after reading his review on it I can't help but always associate this series with Desensitized each time I see any of it, so it really does still fit in this thread as a worthy candidate for me to list)

B&TB is definitely one of my faves. It totally took me by surprise as something I might enjoy, but IMO, it has infinite rewatchability and is easily the most fun show on TV right now.

As for the rest, I agree wholeheartedly.  8)

Classic cartoons - Specifically Looney Tunes and Disney movies. Probably because you so willingly gush about them at the drop of a hat, but also because you know they deserve that attention.

I'm nowhere near Jerry Beck or Leonard Maltin levels, but I have a lot of love for older cartoons, particularly Disney, Warner, and MGM. They're the godfathers of animation and we wouldn't have a lot of our favorites if they didn't exist.

Which reminds me, Jerry wants us to write to Shout Factory to push for them to buy the rights to release some series that wouldn't get one anytime soon by their current owners, including Betty Boop. I'm going to do that soon and I implore that you all do as well.

Quote from: Desensitized on January 24, 2011, 02:46:59 PMMetal - Not exactly hard to forget that you like it, but also that you seem to span the chasm of the genre and not just stick in one safe area of it like most on the internet.

Picking a favorite metal subgenre would be close to impossible for me since there's so much to like in just about all of them. You have the balance of beauty and hatred in black, the carefree jam sessions of doom and sludge, the energy and power of traditional, anger and technicality of thrash, and the wide scope of death. Metalcore is a bit of a stretch for me to praise, but there's gold to find there as well.

Quote from: Desensitized on January 24, 2011, 02:46:59 PMChats - I mean, good GOD, man.

There are some people I wish to never have to think about again, but that will never happen. :(

Quote from: Desensitized on January 24, 2011, 02:46:59 PMEE&E - Since you're basically the one who got me to understand it better, and again, you obviously love it a lot.

You're damn right I love it a lot.

I plan to write one more entry on it for our blog soon, and that should be my final say on it.

Quote from: Desensitized on January 24, 2011, 02:46:59 PMGlee - In an ironic way, I assure you.

You know, when the show does good, I'll admit it. Neil Patrick Harris and Gwyneth Paltrow are both quite and talented, and Jane Lynch is funny, albeit more so in pretty much every other project she's done. But Lea Michele has such an uninspired voice, Kurt is one of the most characters in existence, the harmonies are such ass, and they mess with so many different songs ranging in quality.

I'd be better off without the show existing at all.

I agree with EK's choices as well, but mine for you looks like:

Powerpop- Big Star, Supergrass, Cheap Trick, Weezer, the whole shebang.
Home Movies
The Simpsons
King of the Hill

^^^Do I need to say why?
2D Platformers- EK is right, and so are you.

Supergrass is definitely a favorite and so is the whole sub-genre.

Oh, I should have said HIMYM instead of Glee. You clearly enjoy it much more.

Hitchcock
Demi Levato
Iron Maiden
Daffy Duck
Rolf

For Avaitor:

Ed, Edd n' Eddy's Big Picture Show (since the show and Avaitor's favorite character were already mentioned, I'd figure that the movie was the next best thing :sly: )

The Nightmare Before Christmas (If I'm not mistaken this is Avaitor's favorite animated film, and for good reason: because it IS the....2nd best....animated film ever ;) )

Iron Maiden and a bunch of other Metal (mostly because he got me to listen to it, and admittedly its awesome, even for someone so as inexperienced in music as myself)

Casablanca (One of Avaitor's favorite classic films, and one of the best films ever made, no doubt)

Pulp Fiction (Avaitor's favorite contemporary film and also his favorite film ever, and its probably because it is a great work from Tarantino, even if it didn't appeal to me when I saw at a bit of a younger age)

For Dr. Isomniac:

Alan Moore (I should probably get into reading his stuff, myself)

Dr. Who (I should probably get into watching it, myself)

Bashing crappy modern anime (because if we didn't have good ol' Dr. Insomniac to tell us what terrible anime that we should avoid like the plague, than who else would do it for us?)

Sandman (Something I should probably read)

Fedoras (OK, this may sound strange, but seriously, is it just me or has almost every avatar Dr. Insomniac had over the past couple of years featured some guy wearing a fedora or fedora-like business hat?....Yeah, seriously, now I associate hats with Dr. Insomniac, go figure....)

Alan Moore (I should probably get into reading his stuff, myself)

Eh, my taste in weird British comic writers leans more towards Warren Ellis nowadays, mostly since he seems more mellow about comics (and doesn't write stories about fish-rape (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2010/12/22/neonomicon-3-and-the-anthropormorphic-penis/)). But still, if there wasn't Watchmen, I probably wouldn't have gotten into graphic novels.

QuoteDr. Who (I should probably get into watching it, myself)

Knowing you, I'd suggest Jon Pertwee's run (1970-1974) or Chris Eccleston's short stint (2005).

QuoteBashing crappy modern anime (because if we didn't have good ol' Dr. Insomniac to tell us what terrible anime that we should avoid like the plague, than who else would do it for us?)

I'm still reeling from the scars of watching Oniichan No Koto.  :zonk:

QuoteSandman (Something I should probably read)

That reminds me. I need to buy those remastered trades.

QuoteFedoras (OK, this may sound strange, but seriously, is it just me or has almost every avatar Dr. Insomniac had over the past couple of years featured some guy wearing a fedora or fedora-like business hat?....Yeah, seriously, now I associate hats with Dr. Insomniac, go figure....)

Yeah, I never really intentionally set out to have a hat theme. Still, it seems like an odd coincidence.

Casablanca (One of Avaitor's favorite classic films, and one of the best films ever made, no doubt)

HOW DID YOU KNOW I JUST WATCHED THAT?

I got the 50th anniversary VHS from a local thrift store today for like a buck and just finished watching it. I can quote that movie all day.

Also, I prefer the Eds themselves to Rolf (particularly Eddy), but I'd say that he's probably my favorite character from the show besides them.

So, like, I kind of just realized that we've already used up a lot of stuff that we associate with other people. Does anyone want to try and switch up the themes a little bit to, you know, keep the thread going? Like, maybe characters that you associate with the person above or something like that? Just say'n....

Wow, you got him dead on.

I'll try you next...

Gentleman Ghost (For some reason, if you were a villain this is what I'd imagine you as)
Wolfwood
The Man With No Name
Wolfgang Grimmer
The Doctor (Of course)

I hope that makes sense! Mostly it's characters that I think most closely match you.

Right on all of them except for the last one. I haven't been that big on Hiei relative to the other YYH cast for quite a few years. Among the main group of 4, my favorite character is probably Kurama for serving as the only real tactician of the group, and a brilliant one at that. I also like how his brilliance inspired one of his former followers who used to work under him to become a leader and tactician himself and use his lessons that he learned from Kurama against him, like when he got Kurama to become his personal and military adviser in the final arc of the series and forced him to comply by threatening to have an "accident" happen on his mother's plain ride if he didn't cooperate, and then going onto remind Kurama that it was him to told him to think and act that way.

Yup, Its pretty awesome when a character is so brilliant that he actually influences someone else to become even more brilliant to the point of role reversal, getting that character to work for him instead. And that's why Kurama is on my list. :joy:

**Ahem**

A good choice that most people would never think of nominating for me is The Man with no Name (aka Blondie/the guy played by Clint Eastwood in the Dollars trilogy). Just thought that I'd point that little tidbit of info out. ;)

And for you Dr. Isomniac, I think I'll go ahead and try and list some writers that I associate with you:

Neil Gaiman
Joss Whedon
Warren Ellis

And....That's honestly about all I can think of, right now.

QuoteWow, you got him dead on.

Except for....you know, the fact that I'm not as big a fan of Hiei as I am with other YYH characters. Other than that, though, yeah, I can't deny my love for each and every one of those characters.

Though, I can't help but notice that they are all fictional characters who are Japanese in origin. Just for future reference, Bender from Futurama, Cartmen from South Park, Johnny Bravo, Bugs Bunny, and Daffy Duck are all easily top contenders for me (the only reason that I never expressed much interest towards Daffy Before is because Avaitor seemed to have, like....claimed him as a favorite or something like that, so I always got this strange idea that he might get pissed if I admitted that I liked him just as much if not more than Bugs....just sayin').

Well, we do both have a thing for being arrogant....I mean intelligent, damnit!

Though, my favorite detective character in anime is L from Death Note. He's that type of perfect 1-dimensional character, who's written with minimal to no emotions in absolutely the right way. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't pissed that a certain something happened to said character down the line in the story (even as someone who still enjoyed the 2nd half of the series quite a bit), but that doesn't change the fact that he's still my favorite. I can see why people would hate the 2nd arc just based on Near and Mello alone, not because they really suck but because neither of them are nearly sufficient enough to fill in the huge void that L left in his place. That said, I still say that people severely misjudge/unfairly judge the 2nd arc based on those 2 characters being far weaker than L, alone, when really that arc wasn't so much about them, anyways, but rather was about Light's slow but steady downfall (based on how I view it).

haha, nah, it's cool. I think I've made it publicly open that while Daffy is my favorite anything ever besides Maiden, Bugs is very closely behind him.

No need to play "favorites", man.

Sonic's a bit of a stretch, but I do enjoy his classic games. The others sound right, too.

Well, you always go on about the comics and seem to have more of a liking for Sonic than even Talon does, so its not my fault for associating you with that character. :sly:

Oh, I thought you've read Lone Wolf and Cub because I remember seeing you talk about it before in the "What are you Reading" thread and the "Greatest Manga Tournament." In that case, I can easily switch that out with Rurouni Kenshin, although I know that's also E-K and Spark's favorite manga which is why I avoided using it.  :sweat:

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, American Dad, and Nintendo are spot on!  :thumbup:

I'm impressed you remembered I like Drawn Together and the InuYasha manga, although I'm curious as to why you picked those series/things over others. I do like Drawn Together mind you, but it's only fairly high up on my favorite cartoons list (in the late 20's), and I definitely have I've talked about South Park and other western cartoons more than it. As for the InuYasha manga, it is indeed one of my favorites, but I love certain other manga from that mangaka significantly more (and I'm sure I've made copious mention of that fact   :D ), and of course the manga is only #12 on my favorite manga list, so there's 11 manga I enjoy more than it which I'm sure I've mentioned quite a bit about.  ;)

I like listing not too obvious things. It makes it fun. Spark still needs to give me credit for the list I made him.

The Simpsons
Excel Saga
Message to Adolf (That's that manga's title, right?)
Pikmin (was that you?)
Batman TBATB

I actually have read very little of Message to Adolf, and only very recently at that, so not sure about that being associated with me. The rest are pretty spot-on, although it is without question that Excel Saga IS Foggle's thing and that Spark should be the one most associated with Batman: The Brave and the Bold on this board.   ;)

5 more for you, GSF (characters this time):

Sanosuke (Rurouni Kenshin)
Saito (Rurouni Kenshin)
Yusuke Urameshi (Yu Yu Hakusho)
Kenshiro (Fist of the North Star)
Planet Hulk

For Ensatsu-Ken:
Hajime no Ippo
Black Lagoon
Hunter X Hunter
Summer Wars
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Quote from: Cartoon X on October 06, 2013, 10:26:55 PM
For Ensatsu-Ken:
Hajime no Ippo
Black Lagoon
Hunter X Hunter
Summer Wars
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Well, HnI is something I only recently got into, but it does still fit me for now. Black Lagoon is a great series, but I don't know if you could really associate it with me more than anyone else on this board who also likes it. Hunter X Hunter and Summer Wars are spot on. As for Buffy, while I like it, it is something I'd probably associate more with Avaitor. Also, I like Angel just as much as Buffy, but my favorite Joss Whedon show is easily Firefly.

Anyways, or you (aside from the ones GSF already listed):

Dragonball
One Piece
Kirby
Maison Ikkoku
Pokemon

Yeah, even though I know you just go into it recently, I chose Hajime no Ippo because it quickly became one of your favorites and also your favorite fight in anime/manga is from it now. I chose Black Lagoon because I saw in the "Black Lagoon" thread that you were the first person on the board to like it, and I chose Buffy because of the fact you had gone through the series recently and wrote up your thoughts on every season while watching through it. I should've put Angel instead, since your current avatar is a pic from that series.  :sweat:

Anyway, you are right on with all those choices for me, as I love all those series/franchises immensely.  :thumbup: In return, here are 5 characters I associate with you:

Kurama (Yu Yu Hakusho)
Killua (Hunter X Hunter)
Macbeth (Gargoyles)
Eric Cartman (South Park)
Kenshin Himura (Rurouni Kenshin)

Pretty spot on for me, Rynnec, as I enjoy/like to talk about all those things.  :) I'm going to have to think awhile for what I most associate with you, though...

With Foggle, it's a bit easier:

AN UNRIVALED, UNPARALLELED, INCREDIBLE ADORATION FOR EXCEL SAGA (easily one of it's oldest and biggest, if not the oldest and biggest, fan of the series outside of Japan.  ;) )!
CHANGING YOUR MIND ON PANTY AND STOCKING WITH GARTERBELT AFTER ACTUALLY WATCHING MORE THAN 1 EPISODE!
CHANGING YOUR MIND ON GURREN LAGANN AFTER GIVING IT A SECOND CHANCE....4 YEARS LATER!
HATING BIG 3/GENERIC SHOUNEN!
HATING POST-KAI HIGURASHI!

Yessir, I do love me some Imaishi! Over the top animation is the fucking best. Thank you, Daxdiv, for forcing me to watch all of Panty & Stocking. You did me a wonderful service on that day.

I may be the biggest non-Japanese fan of Excel Saga, but I'm definitely not the oldest. Of our forum members, Lord Il and Micki! definitely have me beat there. :lol:

To be fair, I don't hate One Piece or some of the later Higurashi manga stories, but yeah, pretty spot on there too. Good job!

I will try to think of things for you that no one else has mentioned yet... HRMMMMM........

Urusei Yatsura and other delightful tales by Rumiko Takahashi

Urusei Yatsura and other delightful tales by Rumiko Takahashi

Yay, someone finally mentioned my favorite Takahashi manga!  :joy: Yeah, I absolutely adore that manga, it's anime, films...just the whole franchise, really. Rumiko Takahashi is honestly also my favorite mangaka as well, since I've read 6 of her 7 major works and loved each one of them, 4 of them, as you know, are some of my all time favorite manga, so her work has got a great track record with me, personally   :D.

Quote from: Foggle on October 07, 2013, 01:11:00 AM
Animal Land

I think I should make the wikipedia page for this myself, sometime. It's a great manga with fantastic artwork and story, and it deserves to be more recognized than it is. I'm hoping they make an anime adaption one of these days, so that the series will become more well-known.

Quote from: Foggle on October 07, 2013, 01:11:00 AMBlack Dynamite

Yup, my favorite movie, right alongside Django Unchained (they are pretty much tied)!

Quote from: Foggle on October 07, 2013, 01:11:00 AMTrigun

Spark and ShadowGentleman probably have a better claim to the series than I, since while it's their favorite anime, it's my second  :sweat: . But yeah, it is my second favorite anime, and I love it dearly.  :)

A spot-on list, Foggle!  :thumbup: Let me list some characters I associate with you in return:
Deadpool

Kenzo Tenma

5 characters I associate with Cartoon X:
Don Patch

Yeah, Avaitor, you said YYH had fights that were too long and then EK said you were wrong.

I've barely seen pre-retcon Peggy mom so I'll get back to you on that one. CX, I haven't seen TaleSpin since I was a small child. EK's childhood sucks because he has never seen it. Dale Gribble is probably my 2nd favorite cartoon character. Pocket sand!

Yeah, Avaitor, you said YYH had fights that were too long and then EK said you were wrong.

I don't quite remember it that way. I believe Avaitor remarked that the Toguro fight was really long,  and estimated it to be around 8 episodes or so, to which I said it was only half of that length, and on top of that it was the only fight in the entire series to last nearly that long in the first place.

Um, GSF, I don't watch Nick at all. I mean, I caught up on the current season of Legend of Korra yesterday, but that's the first time I watched any Nickelodeon show in well-over two months. In any case, I haven't made many posts in the Nickelodeon board either, so it's kinda odd that you'd associate it with me. Why you've associated me with AR is also  weird to me, since everyone here is by default associated with AR, and I've been posting on here for only a year compared to you guys who have been posting on here for 3. This is also the second time you've mentioned Bobobo, by the way.  :sweat:

But yes, Cartoon Network is still the channel I watch the most shows on and is still my go-to tv channel, and I have been reading a crap-ton of manga, so good job on being the first on mentioning those.  :thumbup:

Actually, if you want to get technical, AR has been around since 2008, so the earliest members have been here for at least 5 years (hard to believe that it has already been that long). Te 5 oldest members of this board who are still active members here today are Avaitor, Foggle, Desensitized (Spark of Spirit), Dr. Insomniac, and myself.

Well, to be fair, she barely appears before the retcon episode. But based on the little we've seen and heard about her before that point, the whole episode comes off as off.

And did I really say that? Well, everyone makes mistakes. :sweat:

She never appears after the retcon episode, either. That's why I just consider the episode a fever dream. Nothing is lost while ignoring it since it's not even a good episode as it is.

Not one of my favorite favorites but a decent villain that helped give Green Arrow an actual a good Rogue's Gallery. :thumbup: Hmm, I wonder if him and Shado are in Arrow? (DON'T ANSWER THAT) Except for Riddler, who I severely doubt is in a Green Arrow show, that would be literally all of the remaining GA villains I like in one show.

To be fair, I respect Tarantino's earlier work. I just don't care for it on a personal level due to being devoid of likable characters or any elements that I can relate to.

Also, while I enjoy Django a very good deal, I consider Foggle and CX to be bigger fans of it than I am.

Personally, I'm more of a fan of the Dollars movies and Tombstone when it comes to Westerns.

As for Azula, I think that she's a good villain, but she's never been one of my favorites.
