Okay. Watch Samurai Jack and Megas XLR. They are not anime.

I want SF to go...but I think that Seattle's the better team. Man, and I live in the Bay Area...better keep that opinion to myself :x Also, SCREW NEW ENGLAND TO THE GROUND. Let's see Peyton's ancient butt run circles around whichever sophomore QB makes it to the Super Bowl.

Oh gosh, this

OH MAN THERE WAS THIS TOO - Elvis Costello collaborated with The Roots on an album called Wise Up Ghost. It's bonkers and shouldn't exist but it does and I forgot how cool that is. I'm also surprised that we made it this far without a mention of Royals by Lorde. Seriously, that song is...

Just to add some color - I normally love me some Kanye West, but I feel that it's important to qualify Yeezus. Don't go into Yeezus expecting another College Dropout or MBDTF, because that's not what Yeezus is. It is, in my mind, a minimalist dance album overflowing with ego. I went in expecting...

Want a great usage of The Chosen One? Here, have some Rice Boy. [http://www.rice-boy.com/see/]

Of course you have. It's an online argument about a politically charged, heavily opinionated, and highly complex point with multiple moving parts (involving, of all things, video games). Here's how it plays out: * Escapist does a good job of introducing the facts in a neutral, matter-of-fact...

Oh God dammit, why did I click on this thread

I quite appreciate that answer, actually. It makes plenty of sense. I didn't really expect a Unifying Theory of Anime, but you basically said "it's different" which is so simple yet something I just overlooked. <_< I'd also like to apologize in case I came off as abrasive in the previous...

Sorry to resurrect this, but I need to ask my question again (it came up in conversation recently): why anime? And, let me rephrase that: what makes anime different from other television (cartoons, if we must be narrow) that makes it worthy of anime-specific recommendations? "It isn't...

Extrapolating...trends...from...two...data points... *head explodes*
