    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
     
    Hmph...I started watching Samarai Champloo awhile ago and am going to try out the other two this week...so...count me in!
     
    Top shelf! Our first member. Definitely watch Paranoia Agent this weekend--you won't regret it. It's all great stuff, actually.
     
    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 .___.;
     
    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 ;_;
     
    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.
     
    Can I Join?!!!!!!!!plz.?!!!
     
    Can i join this club?
    I really like these shows. Especially Samurai Champloo.

    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 ;_;
     
    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
     
    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.
     
    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
     
    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;
