Evil Genius

I found Finnegan's Wake to be more entertaining than Ulysses, despite it being more or less utterly incomprehensible (but that's the draw, I guess). I just happen to really dig stream-of-consciousness narrative though (but I'll argue anyone over the fact that Faulkner does it better), and Finnegan's...

I believe they should definitely be starting with the Black Swordsman arc. That arc (along with the Conviction arc) is what I see as Berserk's true colors. Guts wandering alone, a complete madman, slaughtering every apostle in his path. The first three volumes are an excellent entry point for any re...

I've had myself convinced to get a Berserk tattoo of some kind for a good year now, but there's too many incredible illustrations through-out the manga for me to decide. I don't really want to get the brand, I was thinking a really perfect picture of Guts or SK. Just can't pick one. Kalannar, nice o...

Your post made me laugh mentally. Gonna have to consider that book.

Ah, Alpaca. I have some friends that have taken the route you have. They claim to have "lost the ability to read for pleasure", and cling to primary (or dry, as you put it) texts now a days. I'm somewhat in the middle. I still read novels for pleasure (which translates to: solely to cure b...

Something happened for the sake of the story? Sucks.

Just digging into 'Disciple of the Dog' by R. Scott Bakker as I wait for his follow up to The Aspect-Emperor.

Recommendation to all dark fantasy peppered with philosophy novel readers: The Prince of Nothing series (by said author).

Hm, you guys might not? I mean, it's a guarantee that someone is going to fansub it, but I thought Berserk was EG's bag.

Haha. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks/(knows?) this.

No. But I just finally read it. Worth buying if you're a big enough fan of Miura's artwork. The story is pretty ridiculous however.

So.... did anyone see the Gantz movie?

The Herald wrote:That looks like it's from Preacher. Except for the sexes being switched, it might as well be. Very cool though.

Wow, I thought the exact same thing when I saw it. (Preacher is such a fantastic work, I respect it like no other.)

War Machine, nice MGS4 wallpapers. Pretty awesome indeed.

Yeah, I always felt it was an error to not include the part with the Count in the anime. There are a lot of cool things going on there, including a nice introduction of the God Hand. There were probably restriction issues (25 eps and whatnot), but they should have put the part with the Count in over...

I have it pre ordered from Amazon so I won't be playing day one, but I'm definitely anticipating playing it when my copy arrives. I really liked the first Dead Space, I was pretty blown away by it actually. What does the Dead Space Ignition key unlock by the way?

I've been getting into SSFIV again lately myself. I've been using Akuma and trying to get a B rank, but you need so much damn BP. It takes forever. I like the ranking system much better than SFIV's, it feels much more rewarding when you win a match. SFIV's ranking system got boring pretty quickly. I...

An interesting reply Rolos. My tastes certainly feel commented. I am very much a fan of guitar work, so I enjoy the wonderful pieces of dual guitar harmonies that Morningrise and Orchid are built upon. Those two albums just have this hypnotic quality that I thoroughly enjoy, and I like the experimen...

Interesting indeed. The artwork looks nice.

Some of my favorites Kalmah: Any album is great, I like Swamplord and The Black Waltz the most. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wNbYPThz54 Death: Probably my favorite band of all time. I feel their best albums are Human, Individual Thought Patterns, and Symbolic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkKOf...

I hope it starts off with the Black Swordsman arc too. Base case scenario would be the moving mirroring the flow of the manga as precisely as possible. I also hope for a PS3/360 game haha. If not, I'm satisfied with the Dreamcast game and the PS2 game. I just finally got my hands on the PS2 game lik...

Any YYH fans? I'm not sure how new this is, but apparently YYH is getting a blu ray release in the US from Funimation. http://www.amazon.com/Yu-Hakusho-Season-Classic-Blu-ray/dp/B004GZZGWC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1294372866&sr=8-s" Japan got these blu rays awhile back, and they...

Wow, a theatrical release? That's a surprise to me. It would stand to reason that the small clips that have been revealed were at least relevant, if not part of this theatrical release, so it'll probably be about the Golden Age arc.

I was exposed to Cowboy Bebop when they first aired it on Adult Swim back like... 8 years ago or something. The intro alone had me hooked for weeks to come, I still think 'Tank!' is an awesome song. I've yet to see an anime unconventionally fuse together so many ideas and genres and have it work tha...
