you don't always need flailing jazzercize limbs and manic bug-eyed anime expressions when shooting the shit with another dude
Fucking awesome, the guy was also a captain in the military.

Yes, quite.

The Remix version of the series is also 6 discs in the US.
I don't know how many DVDs it was in Japan, but I know it was some crazy large number because they like to put two episodes on a disc and charge $50 for it. They also got some awesome DVD cover artwork we didn't.
Okay.

Let's jam.
Oh yeah were they in planes or something?

Maybe I'm just overracting. Pierrot Le Fou is my favorite episode from the series, despite it's crazy deviations from the general tone of the rest of the show (force fields? flying guys?).
Also, they kind of have to change some of the dialogue to fit the 'OH MY GOD WHY AREN'T THEIR LIPS SYNCING' syndrome people have.

How can anyone not like Stephen Blum? Honestly

Also, we have the technology to cultivate Mars and manipulate wormholes to get back and forth from planet to planet. Why wouldn't we have the technology to use force fields and have "flying guys"?

EDIT: Yeah, there's lots of high tech stuff, but generally it's kept to big scale things. They're using guns from the 20th century still, and it's rare to see stuff more advanced than that, other than ships, on a personal level. Tongpu is the only instance I can think of where a character has a personal forcefield or flies.
Samurai Champloo
The ending
Wow
I half expected Mugen and Jin to start walking down the same road as Fuu though
In fact I think I would have preferred that, but I guess that's pretty hokey
At any rate, I am pretty sad now that it is over
I wonder when Watanabe is gonna do something new

Most of my friends that have it do, and don't realize it until I point it out to them.
I laughed out loud at this.
I personally thought that Le Fou was pretty damned cool, if only because it was an interesting take on the whole "genetically altered killer" theme. The guy's got crazy powers, and is clearly very good at what he does, but he's extremely childish and falls to pieces over inane things. Also, I thought it was pretty neat how when he sees Spike's different colored eyes it brings him back to the feline that was always staring at him in the lab. That was an interesting touch.
One other thing; Who the Hell complains about Cowboy Bebop for it's voice acting of all things? It's one of the best English casts ever, hands down. Some people are just silly.
I first started watching the show with the English Dub back when it first came out and I can't even watch it in Japanese now. Blum's voice just fits Spike so well.
I did recently, however, finish Gungrave with a friend. It had its annoying moments, but also some fucking badass action scenes and some really heavy bits.
WHAT PLANET
IS THIS?
You don't need the Perfect Sessions, because there ain't nothin' in it you get separately, except the box.
I think they did a thinpak release of the whole series a bit ago for like $60.
Which is totally awesome
Because most anime cost something like $SHITLOAD to purchase in a single set

Speak Like A Child is probably my favorite episode, the ending is so good.
The last time I watched cowboy bebop it was when it ran on adult swim (originally?) Sunday nights... um it was about 4 or so years ago back when i was in school. I remember I was in school because the end credits, I think it was real folk blues? It was in japanese but I can hear it in my head even now. It would always be the last thing I heard before my weekend ended. And I would always be sad that I was going back to school so that song kicks ass to me now for some weird nostalgia like reason.
Note I also don't really watch anime, but Cowboy bebop I make a damn exception for.
That was one of those songs I liked so much that at one point I just listened to it on a perpetual loop for hours every day over a period of about two weeks.
Now, a good 200 are unreleased tracks ripped from DVDs, but see, a couple of her series had spectacular ambient music that never made it into any of the official soundtracks.
But still I have just about every soundtrack or album she's put out. My favorite is "Song to Fly" a standalone album not connected to anything else that has a lot of choral tracks, as well as some vocal tracks (opera and even a rock ballad)
Fuck I love her work.
yeah it is a pretty awesome song
Working on building up a huge library of her music. Unfortunately it's going slowly since the legit CDs are like $25 each.
But I have every one of the Ghost in the Shell Stand-Alone Complex discs. Even the limited-edition boxset, which has a disc with a single 50-minute track that has like 15 previously-unreleased songs from the series on it (some of which are simply amazing) and a USB memory stick made to look like a Tachikoma that has some GitS multimedia stuff on it, including some dialogue from the actors and a few little snippets of songs Yoko Kanno never finished.
i got mine for like 20 bucks, and this was four years ago

satan, check this wishlist's rims out
That series got some of her best work. Hantou no Higashi is such a spectacular track. I put it on a mix CD for a friend, and he put it on his Ipod without ever really listening to it. Then late one night while on vacation in Hawaii he was just chilling out and listening to music while his fiancee slept and the song came on and it completely blew him away... the ambience, the slow build, the circumstances under which he was listening all just combined into some kind of fantastic musical experience.
EDIT: Okay, doing a quick Google says it's "East of the Penninsula", from the 3rd OST.
i enjoyed it thoroughly, though i'd never seen an episode
all i know the series for is the opening theme song, as i adore it
i was disappointed that the movie did not have that song in it anywhere
still great music however
Not surprising, considering how old it is now.
