My newest thing lately is anime. I used to make fun of it as “tentacle porn”, but if you stay away from that genre, you enter a world of some pretty kick-ass flix. I remember watching Akira back in the day, along with oldies like Macross / Robotech. Vampire Hunter D is a favorite of mine. Still haven’t seen Ninja Scroll. I bought Noir off some dude on eBay, but the subtitles are really poor. Rachel and I watched some episodes of Cowboy Bebop and it is super-awesome! The music rocks and the story is pretty phat. I’ll be buying the big DVD box set ($150) one of these days. I need new tennis shoes first. My New Balance are dying …

You can read a really nice history of anime courtesy of kuro5hin.
