HyperBallad

Only watched a few episodes of Bebop, but I really enjoyed it. Should watch more.

Wimble

it's all about sports anime

no stop laughing it's all about sports anime it is the best

HyperBallad

Sports anime? What is this strange hybrid beast?

Flay

My secret shame:

I've cosplayed. My friends found out I was doing some costume work for halloween parties and then my friends dragged me in to it to fill a vacancy.

Don't look at me I'm a monster!

Oh, on the topic of rap, can anyone recommend me some rap I won't hate? I've never listened to much.

SwissLion

I have seen the tail end of some kind of Boxing anime episode.

It was completely insane.

Wimble

sports anime is anime where they do such things as play tennis or box and it is great

hajime no ippo is about boxing and prince of tennis is about tennis

those are the only ones I've watched but I know there are more

I say phoeey to your dumb big robot animes

Flay

Can't you have an anime with sports and robots.

It probably already exists come to think.

Well what kind of music do you like in general? Hip Hop has many many different styles. I'll post a few of my favourites though

FLCL revolves around Naota. His life in the city of Mabase is interrupted by the arrival of Haruko Haruhara (who is an alien) who bursts on the scene by running Naota over with her Vespa scooter, then giving him CPR and hitting him on the head with a blue vintage Rickenbacker 4001 left-handed electric bass guitar.[2][3] Later, Naota is shocked to find Haruko working in his house as a live-in maid.

Since then, Giant Robots from Medical Mechanica have been coming out of Naota's head and cause more problems for Naota. Haruko is using Naota for her search for the Pirate King, Atomsk, because Naota's head is the only one that can create a passageway for the robots. It also puts her at odds with Medical Mechanica, the monolithic industrial corporation. At the same time, Naota is being watched by Commander Amarao, who believes that Medical Mechanica is out to conquer the galaxy. The combination of circumstances gets Naota involved in a three-way battle between Haruko, Amarao and Medical Mechanica. The underlying theme is Naota's coming of age as he becomes more mature and learns to express his feelings.

no!

no, no, no!

FLCL is actually a lot of fun.
It's very self aware.

Tef

Gosh darn it, you guys

Wimble

I'm sure it's great

I just had fun groaning at the plot summary

I listen to a fair range of stuff, but the biggest folders in my music library are rock/metal and electronic. That's probably not very helpful.

I'm really liking that first one you posted though! I'll go through and listen to them all.

#pipe

hmmm rock/metal

See when it comes to hip hop, I'm always hooked by the music and the vocals grow on me over time. I looooove hip hop that sticks to its soul traditions, that's why I always enjoy The Roots.

Flay

Hmm... Long time doesn't do it quite as much for me but still good.

None shall pass is actually one of the few rap songs I've really liked previously, but I'd forgotten what it was called. Glad to find it again.

EDIT: My favourite band at the moment is probably Murder by Death if that gives you any impression of my musical tastes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vq8w0_bKbgY

I also listen to a fair bit of stuff with a slower tempo, so that might be why 3030 is doing it for me more.

EDITx2: Not really feeling it for Truth.

Plot summaries? A lot of shit sounds stupid when you listen to plot summaries.

Wimble

yeeep and I had fun groaning at it

Jintor

I guess the only logical response to that is to groan huh

Someone organise another PerthPAX. I baked like 50 pies on Saturday, I ain't doing shit for the rest of the year.

Oh dear someone mentioned anime, thus summoning me forth.

I think anime happened.

Serioustalk: I've never really watched anime but people keep telling me FLCL is good and that I should watch it.

I dislike anime, but I LOVE FLCL. So yes this is the right choice.

FLCL is amazing, my second favorite of all time, ever. Probably never going to drop any lower than that.

Terrible summary, you really just want to go look it up on TV tropes to understand just how incredibly badshit insane crazy awesome the show is. (look up Gurren Lagann while you are there).

None Shall Pass is the only Aesop Rock song that I really like. I fucking love The Roots though.

I'll throw a couple of rap songs out there too. These aren't favourites, just songs I've recently heard and enjoyed.

I turn up, I'm the only one there, the lights are dimmed, and it slowly dawns on me that the olive oil you made me bring isn't for the barbecue.

Also Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, the Gorillaz, The Streets etc. etc. etc.

I remember that there is a Mahjong anime.

Some people I know were watching it religiously and saying it was great. I'm not big on anime though, I just like a few.

I did play Mahjong with them online while they were into that, they all knew the rules, I had no need for such knowledge. I'm lucky enough to win anyway.

AJR

I like Kanye. I don't think he's all that great as a rapper, but he's a great producer.

I just heard someone say it's the first day of winter. Is this true?

Fuck my life.

Vivixenne

I don't know if they're saying it because it's the first day of June (hence the June-July-August winter) or if it's actually, meteorologically, the first day of winter
