The Samurai Champloo/Paranoia Agent/S-CRY-Ed Club
 
I decided to combine all three of adult swim's summer animes into one club, because if you watch one of them, I figure that odds are that you watch at least one of the other ones, so it makes this all the more convenient for a lot of potential members. So, join if you like any of these ^_^;

~CK

And one rule, though: ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS!

Shounen Bat isn't the only one with a metal bat around here, you know =p

Midori Chi June 9th, 2005 6:22 PM

Hmph...I started watching Samarai Champloo awhile ago and am going to try out the other two this week...so...count me in!

Chairman Kaga June 9th, 2005 6:24 PM

Top shelf! Our first member. Definitely watch Paranoia Agent this weekend--you won't regret it. It's all great stuff, actually.

Midori Chi June 9th, 2005 6:25 PM

Okay! I'll take your word for it! *Can't wait till Saturday*

Chairman Kaga June 9th, 2005 6:30 PM

I can't wait either--the three shows are getting more enthralling with each episode.

It still doesn't keep me from missing Fullmetal Alchemist, though .___.;

Midori Chi June 9th, 2005 6:33 PM

*saddened* Yes...FMA is one of the best..

Chairman Kaga June 9th, 2005 6:38 PM

All three combined kind of make up for it, but not quite. It doesn't detract from my enjoyment of them, though ^_^; But it's going to be soooo long before there are new episodes ;_;

Midori Chi June 9th, 2005 6:39 PM

Ah...Can you give me a little summary for the 2?

Chairman Kaga June 9th, 2005 6:46 PM

Ok!

Paranoia Agent--There is a mysterious attacker in Tokyo that attacks people whenever they are becoming upset, depressed, or paranoid to the point of madness. Those who are attacked all describe the attacker as a sixth-grade boy wearing golden roller skates, and they all say that the weapon is a golden baseball bat, bent like a dog's leg. The first victim was the strange girl Tsukiko Sagi, inventor of the famous plush pink dog called Maromi. Since that attack, two investigators have been attempting to find out the identity of the assailant, now dubbed Lil' Slugger (Shounen Bat in Japan).

S-CRY-Ed: Apparently sometime in the near future there's a horrible accident in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan which creates a barren, laweless area known as the Lost Ground. In the Lost Ground are mutated humans who can use spiritual powers known as Alter Users. They can do things like change matter, create machines from thin air, things of that nature, but the power varies from Alter User to Alter User. And the assumption of most normal people is that Alter Users are a vile and inhuman breed of people and that they are all dangerous thugs and outlaws. Anyway, a special military unit called HOLD was made to bring control to the Lost Ground, and there is a special elite group of good Alter Users in HOLD called HOLY who attempt to bring down the outlaw Alter Users of the Lost Ground. The show focuses on one of the supposed outlaws and one of the HOLY members, and displays their individual lives during the show. At least, that's the impression I get of it.

Midori Chi June 9th, 2005 6:52 PM

Cool! ^_^ I'll so be there on Saturday! (my tv,I mean)

愛Forgotten Angel愛 June 10th, 2005 1:38 AM

Hmm...I've seen them once, but I really liked them. I don't see them often, though. Man, my mom said I can only stay over one night at my cousins, so I won't be able to see Paranoia Agent. Why, why...

Chairman Kaga June 10th, 2005 7:40 AM

Ah, that's a shame =/ Do you and your cousin have VCRs? That might be a last-ditch, desperate way to get to see it <<;

ashley03 June 10th, 2005 7:42 AM

Can I Join?!!!!!!!!plz.?!!!

Chairman Kaga June 10th, 2005 11:33 AM

*wades through exclamation points*

Sure...nobody really has to ask, really, it's not like we're exclusive ^^

Kratos June 19th, 2005 10:58 AM

Can i join this club?
I really like these shows. Especially Samurai Champloo.

Kratos

Chairman Kaga June 19th, 2005 11:02 AM

Sure, join the club! We need all the activity we can get.

Samurai Champloo and Paranoia Agent were both incredible last night. I have S-CRY-Ed on tape, but I haven't watched it yet.

They had better not have really arrested Shounen Bat ;_;

Kratos June 19th, 2005 11:05 AM

I can't believe that one dude caught and beat up Little Slugger last night. I expected that guy to be knocked down the easiest. But then he got back up and beat down Little Slugger. I was dissapointed. If your like Little Slugger don't ever go down like that.Sorry if that counted as a spoiler.

Kratos

Chairman Kaga June 19th, 2005 11:09 AM

Agreed. Lil' Slugger went down far too easily. He had more than enough time to get back up and beat that man until he went down, but he stayed on the ground and looked at the guy like a deer into headlights and was stomped into unconsciousness =/ That was really disappointing.

Kratos June 19th, 2005 11:17 AM

That was imbarassing how Lil' Slugger went. You are right. He could have got up and beat down that guy. But now I know how weak Lil' Slugger truly is if he can't even try to reach for his bat again. If I were to hit that guy and he didn't go down I would have gotten out of there quicker too. Lil' Slugger might have well as asked or waited to get pummelled down. I actually felt sorry for Lil' Slugger with how much he got hurt.

Kratos

Chairman Kaga June 19th, 2005 11:24 AM

Yeah, poor guy. Maybe he's not a sixth-grader; instead he may just be a violent, short person with brittle bones.

There's got to be some way for him to get out of this--there are still eight episodes left, after all o_o;

Kratos June 19th, 2005 11:26 AM

What do you mean still 8 episodes left? The series isn't going to end is it?
They got rid of Lil' Slugger to soon in the show.

Kratos

Chairman Kaga June 19th, 2005 11:31 AM

Unfortunately the show ran its course at thirteen episodes. Lil' Slugger will probably make a comeback after his arrest, but there'll have to be a couple of pretty big plot holes for it to occur x_x

Kratos June 19th, 2005 11:40 AM

That is a shame. I thought it would be alot longer. Is it going to be like that with S-CRY-ed and Samurai Champloo? Lil' Slugger I think will make a come back.

Kratos

Chairman Kaga June 19th, 2005 12:59 PM

S-CRY-Ed and Samurai Champloo are both 26 episodes, fortunately for us. Though it makes me wonder if they'll wait until both are over to put on FMA and GitS: SAC again.

Kratos June 19th, 2005 1:02 PM

Man! I expected them to be longer too. O well I will miss those shows once there gone. But I like FMA better than all of them.

Chikara June 19th, 2005 1:22 PM

oh! Ill join, I missed them all yesterday cause I had to sleep at my grandparents house ;_;...But Ill join! I like em all, but Samurai Champloo is a little wierd...

Jack O'Neill June 19th, 2005 2:00 PM

I am so in this club. I like Samurai Champloo, Paranoia Agent, and S-CRY-ed equally, and so far, I've never missed a single episode of any of them.


I still can't believe that Lil' Slugger was caught so soon...

Chikara June 19th, 2005 2:05 PM

i dont think he was caught. its too early!

Chairman Kaga June 21st, 2005 12:20 PM

There's got to be some way for Lil' Slugger to get out of this. In support I changed my avatar to Shounen Bat!

And welcome, Jack and Kasanai ^_^

Kratos July 12th, 2005 1:46 PM

*revives*
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! Did you guys see Paranoia Agent last time?

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 1:54 PM

Not yet, but I have it on tape, so tonight!

I'm so glad this club is alive...let's keep it that way!

Kratos July 12th, 2005 1:55 PM

Yeah, we need people more active here. cause of how awesome the shows are.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 2:05 PM

Indeed...I'm sure there's a lot of people who like at least one of them here. The problem is that this club gets almost no exposure.

Kratos July 12th, 2005 2:09 PM

Yeah, but you know what I think I think people don't like all 3 except some and the rest just like one out of the 3 shows.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 2:27 PM

That may be so. All I can gage so far is that at PC, Paranoia Agent > s-CRY-ed from the sizes of their topics in the anime forum. I really should make a Samurai Champloo topic and see how it fares.

I did specify that one didn't need to be a fan of all three shows to belong to this, though. Maybe people didn't notice that.

Kratos July 12th, 2005 2:40 PM

Yeah, but enough of that you will love that Paranoia Agent episode.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 2:53 PM

I bet I will. Countdown: 3 hours until I can see it o_o;

Kratos July 12th, 2005 2:56 PM

Dude it was so good I can't wait fo you to see it. Oh, Samurai Champloo was good last night too.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 3:01 PM

It was, it was. I had no idea they had crucifiction in Japan. They must have learned about it during the times that the Jesuits were active in Japan and even into the times after Europeans were expelled.

Kratos July 12th, 2005 3:07 PM

Well I won't get into the religious thing. But that is what I thought at first. Curcification.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 3:10 PM

Of course all societies have had devices where people are put on a pole or similar object and killed through various means, but that was definitely a cross. It makes me wonder if it was really historically accurate or if they were taking artistic license like they do with a lot of things in the show. Either way, it was an odd and unexpected touch.

Kratos July 12th, 2005 3:13 PM

I thought the way the Japanese were going to do it though was they were going to have their spear stabbed at them once they are on the Cross.

Jack O'Neill July 12th, 2005 3:16 PM

I know what crucifixion is, but what's curcification? XD

Jin and Fuu weren't nailed to the crosses and left there to die; they were merely tied to the crosses and poked with spears.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 3:20 PM

You're both right about it being different...I remember them being bound instead of nailed now (it was late at night x_x; ) and having spears ready to jab into them. They were on a cross, but the rest was pure coincidence, likely.

Kratos July 12th, 2005 3:24 PM

Which is why it is different for each thing they were only tied to the Crosses.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 3:26 PM

Yes yes. Put on a cross but not crucified. Thank goodness Mugen burned down that field of opium or whatever it was x_x;

Kratos July 12th, 2005 3:27 PM

I thought it was a drug plant. It was funny. they all were funny.

Opium? I don't think that opium fumes are hallucinogenic. It was probably marijuana or some other sort of drug plant.

Anyways, everybody got high off the fumes, creating quite a few trippy scenes, especially when Mugen fought the warrior priest leader and the colors and shapes began changing.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 3:31 PM

Yeah, definitely a drug plant, but whether it's opium, I don't know. Opium comes from poppies and I didn't see any of those. I suppose that's what the warrior-priests (I forget their Japanese names) were going to fund their revolution with. I can't wait to see Mugen, Jin, and Fuu high ^^

Kratos July 12th, 2005 3:34 PM

I mostly want to see Jin like that. LOL, Jin is awesome. But to see him high would be hilarious, LOL.

Jack O'Neill July 12th, 2005 3:35 PM

Only Mugen got high, and Fuu called him a jackass when she saw him partying with the warrior priests.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 3:38 PM

I want to see Fuu high...I want to see what sort of exaggerated personality she takes on or whether she does anything crazy o_o; But yes, the normally mild-mannered Jin should be interesting to see drugged.

Kratos July 12th, 2005 3:41 PM

Who is better, Mugen or Jin? I would have to say Jin. I like Jin better too.

Akio123 July 12th, 2005 3:44 PM

I love Jin from Samurai Champloo. Can I please join?

Kratos July 12th, 2005 3:46 PM

Welcome to the club. As soon as CK gets back he should add you to the list. Yeah I agree with you. I love Jin.

Chairman Kaga July 12th, 2005 3:47 PM

Of course you can join! We need more members desperately o_o;

I could never decide between Mugen and Jin. They're so different that it makes them equally appealing.

Kratos July 12th, 2005 3:53 PM

Maybe not but personally I like Jin better. But Mugen is still cool.

Akio123 July 12th, 2005 4:15 PM

Jin is so much cooler and better then Mugen. Jin is the cool samurai, while Mugen is exactly like Spike from Cowboy Bebop. (It is even the same voice)

Chairman Kaga July 13th, 2005 11:04 AM

So I suppose we should change the subject to last saturday's Paranoia Agent now. Thoughts, anyone?

Kratos July 13th, 2005 11:06 AM

Yeah, you saw the last episode of Paranoia Agent right? I loved how he broad casted on the radio.

Chairman Kaga July 13th, 2005 11:23 AM

Yeah, there are always things you don't know about people that you're finding out. That radio broadcast at the end was rather creepy...it makes me wonder who he was talking to <_<;

Myrrh July 13th, 2005 1:23 PM

I wanna join too! Paranoia Agent and Samurai Champloo for one please!!!

Kratos July 13th, 2005 1:27 PM

Wel, welcome Myrrh. I hope you like it here. Did you see PA last Saturday?

Chairman Kaga July 13th, 2005 1:30 PM

Welcome from me too...please stay and talk, we really need more members o_o;

Myrrh July 13th, 2005 1:32 PM

No, I was in Orlando and the Hotel didnt have CN/[AdultSwim], why, what was it about and what happened?

Chairman Kaga July 13th, 2005 1:39 PM

Hmm...before I spoil it for you, do you know if it airs on thursday (viewer night) or not?

Myrrh July 13th, 2005 1:55 PM

Hold on, let me check my guide.....Yes....Now, SPILL!! Tell me what happened?

Akio123 July 13th, 2005 7:25 PM

Actually, it does and I wanna know as well.

Myrrh July 13th, 2005 7:28 PM

Yeah!!
 
Im waiting.......I am still waiting.........

Chairman Kaga July 14th, 2005 7:43 AM

Record it tonight if you can...believe me, seeing the actual show is a lot more satisfying than hearing the paragraph-long summary any of us would give o_o;

Myrrh July 14th, 2005 10:39 AM

Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Akio123 July 14th, 2005 11:13 AM

I actually agree with you. If it would probably be best if we saw it for ourselves.

Jack O'Neill July 14th, 2005 8:55 PM

As a little aside here, the plants that Mugen burned down (and subsequently got high off of) in the latest episode of Samurai Champloo were marijuana plants. I rewatched that episode tonight; I noticed it at first when Mugen reached the warrior-priests' stronghold, and later when he fought the warrior-priests themselves. "Holy grass" doesn't leave much to the imagination, ya know. =P

As for Paranoia Agent, I plan on rewatching that episode later tonight. I didn't pay that much attention the first time around.

Chairman Kaga July 15th, 2005 6:41 AM

I can't believe I didn't catch the holy grass comment the first time around o_o;

I hope those of you who didn't see Paranoia Agent on saturday saw it last night. If you didn't, I think I can write a synopsis out...though the show was in a hundred different places at once this week x_x;

Myrrh July 15th, 2005 10:20 AM

I saw Paranoia Agent.....The ending scared ,me....I was so scared......I felt like Lil' Slugger was gonna hit me!!!

Akio123 July 15th, 2005 10:23 AM

Me too. See now Paranio Agent is really cryptic and scary. I mean at first it seemed like he wanted to save people, but now after he murdewred Kozuka, I am kinda afraid now. I think he murdered him, because he was copying him.

Myrrh July 15th, 2005 10:28 AM

I was shocked when I found out he was murdered......Now, I REALLY CAN'T WAIT UNTIL STURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Jordan July 15th, 2005 10:30 AM

Hey Can I join? Samurai Champloo is my fave out of the three. What is Paranoia Agent about? What is S-cry-Ed about?

Chairman Kaga July 15th, 2005 11:46 AM

Of course you can join! ^_^

Paranoia Agent: A series of attacks in Tokyo have been connected to a mysterious child named Lil' Slugger. He attacks people who feel cornered and despairful, and his attacks usually leave the target free of their problems at a larger psychological cost. From the first incident, involving the beating of Tsukiko Sagi, inventor of the famous plush dog Maromi, until the most recent ones, the only thing that people can recognize on Lil' Slugger are his golden roller skates and his golden baseball bat, bent like a dog's leg. The story focuses on the two investigators trying to crack the case (before the case cracks them <<; )

s-CRY-ed: Apparently sometime in the near future there's a horrible accident in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan which creates a barren, laweless area known as the Lost Ground. In the Lost Ground are mutated humans who can use spiritual powers known as Alter Users. They can do things like change matter, create machines from thin air, things of that nature, but the power varies from Alter User to Alter User. And the assumption of most normal people is that Alter Users are a vile and inhuman breed of people and that they are all dangerous thugs and outlaws. Anyway, a special military unit called HOLD was made to bring control to the Lost Ground, and there is a special elite group of good Alter Users in HOLD called HOLY who attempt to bring down the outlaw Alter Users of the Lost Ground. The show focuses on one of the supposed outlaws (Kazuma) and one of the HOLY members (Ryoho), and displays their individual lives during the show.

Kratos July 15th, 2005 11:51 AM

Ooo. Cairman have you seen Kazuma's full alter power yet? I have.

Chairman Kaga July 15th, 2005 12:01 PM

I haven't...I've been trying to not spoil it for myself. I was hoping he would have something a bit more impressive than a mutated arm (not to say his shocking first/annihilating second/exterminating last bullet is bad or anything.)

And this is kind of off topic but still anime--do you know if Hawkeye's American name in FMA is Riza or Liza? I don't know if they changed it x_x;

Kratos July 15th, 2005 12:05 PM

*off topic* I think Liza.
*on Topic* I thought you knew his full alter power I can show you it if you want to see it. Do you?

Chairman Kaga July 15th, 2005 12:09 PM

Alright, you can show it. Maybe I saw it but I'm not thinking correctly x_x;

Kratos July 15th, 2005 12:11 PM

Okay but to not spoil it for others I'll pm you the picture.

Chairman Kaga July 15th, 2005 12:12 PM

Alright, that works just as well. Thanks!

Myrrh July 15th, 2005 12:32 PM

Kratos, I checked da page already....

Thanks for the tip..............( too short )

Chairman Kaga July 15th, 2005 1:07 PM

No problem ^^

I just saw Kazuma and Ryoho's ultimate alters over PM and they're impressive. I'm definitely staying tuned to s-CRY-ed.

EvIL_CAjUN_CHIkIN July 15th, 2005 1:46 PM

Can I join?

join or Lil' Slugger will GET YOU! : This is the reason I'm asking. XD

Just Kidding. I love s-CRY-ed and Paranoia Agent. I just hate Samurai Champloo. They try to make their anime so realistic, it makes the show seem stupid. Sorry for my two cents there, but can I still join?? :nervous:

Chairman Kaga July 15th, 2005 1:49 PM

Sure you can join; you don't have to like all three to do so. Welcome ^^

Akio123 July 15th, 2005 1:53 PM

Hey, ,I heard about what happens in Saturday's episode. It is number eeight and it is really interesting.

Myrrh July 15th, 2005 2:29 PM

I went to Adult Swim.com for details, and found out nothing!!!

Basically, whenever they say anything about anime, it's usually a complaint that not enough people are watching...bump morons =/

Jordan July 15th, 2005 4:41 PM

I think that Americans doesn't really cares about anime and action cartoons. All they care about is comedy. No matter how harsh or offensive they are.

Akio123 July 15th, 2005 8:11 PM

Who is everyone's favorite charecters in both s-CRY-Ed and Samurai Champloo? I like both Jin and for s-CRY-Ed would have to be either Kazuma, Asuka, or Ryuho.

Yeah...[as]'s comedy lineup usually gets three times the ratings that their anime one does. There are a lot of factors involved in this, but I won't go into them right now.

Favorite characters? In Samurai Champloo, I'd have to say Mugen and Fuu, and in s-CRY-ed, it would have to be Kazuma, Straight Cougar, and Ayasae.

Jordan July 16th, 2005 8:56 AM

Fave character in SC? Jin, he looks smart and more responsible than Mugen and Fuu.

Not ture. I object. The comedy is just a plus. XD XD XD

Me too.

Akio123 July 16th, 2005 3:17 PM

I like these charecters, because they are all quite different. I mean Kazume is a hot headed tough guy, while Ryuho has an obbsession with being over competive while being cool and calm. Asuka is very loving and genrally responsible.
