Persimmon Anime Music Video of the Day I was looking for this one specifically, and couldn't remember what it was called, or what the song was called. The song is called Everything Now which is pretty logical, but the video is called Persimmon and the only multisyllabic fruit starting with P my tired brain could offer up was pomegranate. I did find it after a little searching though. The anime is Ano Natsu de Matteru from 2012, which is a sort-of-sequel / sort-of-retelling of Onegai Teacher from 2002, and the song is by Arcade Fire. It's quite good, and I'd actually recommend it over the original. This AMV absolutely nails the feel of the show in just a few minutes. Disclaimer: As to when the series is set, it's recent enough that 8mm movie cameras are considered archaic, but not so recent that video cameras are considered archaic. Once again, before everything went to hell. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Minasan, kon'nichiwa, overnight denizens of the House of Ace. Indeed, GunSmith Cats was truly a missed opportunity as it was basically badass anime cop show set in Chicago with a smooth jazz soundtrack. I mean what absolute gem and its uniqueness probably doomed it to a ridiculously short run. Oh well, I should check out the manga at this point...I need more Mini-May and her array of explosives.
And good to see you Pixy... little disappointing not to see Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water intro but the Gunsmith Cats theme quickly pacified my tensions. Posted by: Lazzari Scooter at May 13, 2021 03:08 AM (YvEh8) 5

Skip, good to see you are still on course with our Lovely Angels and I concur with Pixy as the rest series only gets better not necessarily for the story and animation but the chemistry between Kei and Yuri is so good that it rubs off on the viewer. Still, I am a little bullish on the movies, the OVAs are pretty good extension of original series. Although, I was always upset Nano didn't return for the OVAs.

Most women in the Bay Area are soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of shit. They have their self-regarding entitlement feminism, and ceaselessly vaunt their independence, but the reality is, come the epidemic plague or foreign invasion, they'd become precisely the sort of useless baggage you'd trade for a box of shotgun shells or a jerry can of diesel.
That is all kinds of hilarious. Posted by: Aetius451AD at May 13, 2021 03:23 AM (lmikk) 9

Without being able to understand a single word anyone was saying: I am assuming it is about girls at a school being terrorized by a group of criminals?

Ah, I remember being introduced to Gunsmith Cats back in my high school days. Bought a few CZs because of it and haven't been disappointed. Guns, cars, sexy girls...what's not to like? The manga gets pretty graphic in the sexual aspect.
Minnie May giving a guy a blow job using the skills she acquired as an underage prostitute on special drugs to keep her underage appearance? Yeah...a little weird. They showed the act pretty closely, but the penis was completely missing to avoid censorship. Instead, I recall she was going to work on an invisible phantom penis that was obvious through the use of negative space. Creative and pervy! Posted by: Grimmy at May 13, 2021 03:32 AM (5juP5) 18

not defending the guy who posted as i only made a cursory look. But when exactly did we decide everyone got to have a say on our jobs? When did we decide a computer and then cell phone company had a world outlook to conform too? I remember the old land line phones, they had no viewpoint. Hell I don't think my Sprint wireless phone had a viewpoint, at least they never shared it with me.
I got my first Apple phone last year. I thought android was intrusive and shoved bs down your throat. Maybe the new ones do, but Apple is another level. I am this close to dumping the thing, and my Apple account. Someone mentioned Linux and I would be glad to hear about the options. I want to be rid of Apple, Android/Google, but still have some "some smart phone attributes" But to be honest, I can live without 90 percent of them.

I had to shut off so many of the defacto Apple News feeds, I have not had one news item come through since I bought the thing. I think the only thing I white listed, was cooking news lol. Basically the app is dead and does nothing. Even with podcasts, I need to filter so much woke crap it really pisses me. off. I once heard Apple was more serious about privacy. I doubt that to be honest, they are don't allow any privacy, maybe with others, but not with them. Do people not realize it is just a phone?

$49/year Posted by: Thrifty Miklos, one-quarter Scots to boot at May 13, 2021 03:47 AM (QzkSJ) I am this close I promise. There is no allure for me so it will be easy and satisfying. HEll the only reason I went to a "smart phone" was I lost mine and was pressured into it. I heard Nokia made a dumb phone with a lot of smart phone features a few years back, you had to pay at least 2 bills for one. I don't know if those still exist or if there is a better option. There are a few things I like about having one, but trust me, they are very few. I have never even been close to my very low usage limit. Posted by: Quint at May 13, 2021 03:51 AM (x/IHv) 33

Skip, if you love Yuri best you'll like the OVAs even better as her character gets to shine a little brighter there than in the original series. Ergo, the reason I like the series better as I'm more of a Kei fanboy.

I hear ya Skip. The quest for finding a good dub for a vintage show like Dirty Pair usually is a futile task but everyone now then you strike gold IF the dialogue is top notch. And the hidden power of all anime, even the mediocre ones, is the ability to watch the plot unfold with your eyes alone and allowing the jibber jabber to fall back into the background and ease your mind into a simpler viewing experience.
For overly critical viewer, sub anime relaxes my mind to focus mostly on the action and allow the dialogue to be render more instructive than intrinsic to my perception. Per Dirty Pair, I think you would be best to avoid any dubbed version but hey ya never know... Posted by: Lazzari Scooter at May 13, 2021 04:11 AM (YvEh8) 54

Posted by: Lazzari Scooter at May 13, 2021 04:04 AM Looking on Amazon, seems paperbacks vary quite a bit in price, although a lot of it is available for Kindle at a reasonable price.

The original illustration that inspired Gunsmith Cats dates to 1987. Rally is a blonde who looks a bit spacey showing her panties while having a holdout piece in a shoulder rig. Minnie-May Hopkins looks like a wise street urchin jail bait flashing a nipple because both her bra and shirt are askew.

As for yesterday's talk about why I hate Nadia, i remembered i wrote a review of it on Anime-Planet under the same username as i use here. I'm pretty brutal on it and rate it low, but then again i feel everything on that site is rated way too high, and that few shows should ever be even 8 or 9/10, when people there rate stuff 10/10 even when criticizing it.
After reading the review I'm remembering how the show was 49% plot holes, 49% " what a coincidence" and 2% missed opportunities, and that under much better creatives the show might have been really good. Posted by: Rbastid at May 13, 2021 05:08 AM (XwTyM) 89
Fenelon Spoke, short answer is yes.
Female mangaka are pretty rare. Takahashi Rumiko is the most well known but there are a few other women in the industry. Another is Narumi Kakinouchi's Vampire Princess Miyu and Vampire Yui. Posted by: Anna Puma at May 13, 2021 05:13 AM (O8uM1) 90

I've been burned by Girls with Guns series before (Noir and Najica) but it seems to maybe be a little more like R.o.D. Solty Rei or Heat Guy J, which were good detective/ bounty hunter shows that took place in a somewhat modern Earth city. Posted by: Rbastid at May 13, 2021 05:15 AM (XwTyM) 94
77 Grimmy, preach it brother. The enjoyment Anime gave me a regular guy the keys to a vastly superior animation that is not restricted by censorship or shaming from progressive twits who punish creativity and restrict natural beauty.
Posted by: Lazzari Scooter at May 13, 2021 04:37 AM While I certainly appreciate all the fan service anime/manga provide, a bigger draw (for me) was finally being surprised again.

Posted by: Grimmy at May 13, 2021 05:21 AM (haqHj) I feel that the creators of Blindspot got a big chunk of thier original idea from Noir. I know some major tv writer was trying to get a live action version going in the US but it never worked out, so the story is known to hollywood tv writers. I think it could make for a great movie trilogy if done correctly, as the story was there, but they instead went with just tons of gun battles and not enough storylines or digging in the backgrounds. Instead we'll have to watch Hollywood destroy Cowboy Bebop by just making it shitty catchphases and bad acting. Oh and another decent cop/spy/detective show that was pretty fun to watch was L/R Licensed by Royalty.

While I respect your opinion, and even agree on it partially, the final verdict for Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water will remain an overtly positive one for me. Just can't deny the awesomeness of the nautical action and the integrity of certain characters like Nemo and Gargoyle that remain pretty impressive to my critical eye. Also, I feel you might be bit harsh on Noir as its soundtrack is very good but hey maybe a bit of softie for a drama with dysfunctional heroines.
