i have been watching random power rangers videos on youtube the whole afternoon.

nostalgic eh? I loved them.they used to look so... majestic:confused:

[NatseOklim]

I still find it hilarious that all the fight scenes are from a few different series of Japanese programs!

[minou]

i didn't know that but you guys should so totally check the latest series called power rangers jungle fury. some kung-fu steez up in thurrrr. it got boring after the turbo power rangers but i'm getting hooked watching the new ones.

yay

but phil, the fact of the matter is this: as much as you think you "finished" your applications - you never do. There IS always something you forget, usually more as part of the application itself than the supplemental and write-in portions, but once you submit them and you have written what you feel you need to say, you always remember there is more you wanted to say (not within the word limit) and things you would have rather said. Don't feel so bad, I'm on take2 of my applications and its slow going. Thank god most of them are due by April/May.

The Temple of Jawnz has now disbanded for the time being. It will live on forever though, and reincarnate in the future, with new and improved jawnz.

me2 jeepy

try the manga homunculus

shit is pretty fucking up

Homunculus is awful. Shit is for people who don't like themselves and want to read manga that is mad highbrow fucked up yet somehow unenjoyable.

Read anything by Shintaro Kago. You can google it but it's pretty nsfw most of the time. Check out the short Fetus Collection. You're kinda shocked but also intrigued and impressed that anyone can have ideas like this.

I'd really like someone to recommend a manga sorta in the vein of Evangelion/Akira - something philosophically challenging as well as emotionally straining. I mean, I hate to put it up to the celebrity-status mangas of history, but I hate stupid throw-away series that really mean nothing in the long run - just another reason I don't read manga that much as it is. If its not up to par with the likes of those, then I really don't have patience for it. Art has to be really good too considering the level those are at. The Battle Angel series is "ok" at best when stacked against Eva/Akira, so I need something thats gonna hold my attention and for lack of a better term, encompasses the whole "epic" ideal.

Recommendations?

[Corbin Law]

its a manga adaptation of thus spoke zarathustra. visually stimulating and intellectually challenging

[Fookums]

Recommendations?

I haven't been that into manga/anime for a while, but anything by Naoki Urasawa is fucking brilliant. Specifically Monster. 20th Century Boy is really interesting as well, but it goes too long for its own good imo.

I'd also say that Monster is definitely better than Eva. I haven't read the Akira manga though, so I can't comment on that.

While Akira is a visual spectacle, the movie completely loses the point of history dooming itself to repetition and gets muddled, and the horrendous English translation never helps. I've seen the Jap and English versions, Japanese obviously better, but they try too hard to condense such a massive story into under 2 hours. You miss out on a lot of the amazing dialogue and the story gets essentially lost in translation, both from manga to film, but also writing to voiceovers. Probably my favorite manga next to Eva, but I'll have to check out Monster now that you've recommended it.

would do nasty anime shit to her

ghost in the shell i guess... which is another celebrity-status manga.

read it, frankly liked the Movie AND the show much more than the manga. It doesn't necessarily need to be celebrity status, but I want it to be like, inspiring and challenging like Eva/Akira are.

but still not on sale.

get it du. but don't buy a current/recent season one, the YKK zippers look wack. Get an original 1999-2005'ish one with the Italian MRS zippers, they make the jacket.

your sig lies!!!!!!

The Temple of Jawnz will never truly die. In fact there are already talks to reincarnate the Temple of Jawnz in another foreign land, very soon...

[Tyro1]

what ever happened to taco truck of jawnz?

[dismalfuture]

it's on the verge of destroying Australia with a typhoon of faux-Mexican taste muthafucka! Don't ask don't tell status. The Temple of Jawnz has been and always will be first priority.

[Tyro1]

when it hits the shores of sydney, I will make the trip up to sample food and steeze

[dismalfuture]

might be a mini-sufu meetup in that case, seeing as though I will have one or more other Asian sufuers in the cantina... always a +++13cm-MIJ/Raf/Rick/Bless/Juun/N. Hoolywood/Repetto/MMM/Hanes white tee foldin up a burrito concept. (Sydney Newteezy)
