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.
