'Sup guys.

[Bakithi]

Hey guys, my name is Bakithi. (That's my real name.) I'm a Zimbabwean, and I live in Georgia. I'm a big fan of only a few animes, but I love them none the less. Other than D. Gray Man, I love Full Metal Alchemist ( Manga only), One Piece (Manga only), DeathNote (Manga only), GunGrave, Samurai Champloo, Trigun, and soon to be Eureka7. I play a lot of Nintendo Wi-Fi games. My favorites at the moment are Custom Robo: Arena, Metroid Prime:Hunters, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl. I love music, and unlike most people, I listen to all types. I'm especially fond of rock music and thoughtful rap, not the distasteful stuff that I hear so much of today. I'm a good guy, and I'm sure I'll enjoy being here. Nice to meet you guys.
^.^
So, if you have any questions or comments, post them here.

Hm...nothing seems suspicious....well, hi. Make sure you get your daily dose of Zipang and all will be well on the AN forums.

[Bakithi]

Zipang...? Okay....
o_O

[Mistress X]

You may want to watch The Final Countdown instead. Zipang is just a pile of Anti-American garbage.

Now if it's Anime you want, try Full Metal Panic!

Eureka Seven? You need to watch better anime, like Monster. Seriously.

Lame.

Have you even seen the series?:blink: ;)

My friend, you have started a war.

I never notived that in the entire series nd I am keen to pick up on such things.


Rain is 1000% correct you need to watch monster.

I don't see that in it. I see a certain amount of Japanese pride and Japanese nationalist sentiment in it, but really that's not quite the same thing, and such sentiments aren't presented in an entirely positive light.

[Ikari Warrior]

Welcome Bakithi! If you like samurai champloo, please be sure to check out Cowboy Bebop and Ruroni Kenshin!

I also recommend Berserk, but bear in mind that it is VERY bloody.

You're okay in my book. :thumbsup:

I hate that song (joking)

If you like this song, you are indeed awesome!!!!

Welcome new member, amazingly we DO occasionally get new members that survive their own introduction threads and become regulars, hopefully you become one!

No offense, but that song made my ears bleed like a twelve year old girl having her first period.

On a lighter note; you should check out these Animes:

Berserk
GTO
Elfen Lied
Cowboy Bebop
Tokko
Noir
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Gundam 0079
Basilisk
Ah! My Goddess

[Woooh]

Twelve year old girls get bloody ears during their first period?

The more you know...




Oh right... Welcome to the forum!

[Shiroiyuki]

The more you know...


....the less faith you have in humanity.


Yes, welcome.

Hope you actually contribute around here, and don't just make mindless 'WATZ UR FAV ANIMES>?!?!!11' threads.

[Woooh]

[color="#cc0088"]....the less faith you have in humanity.


Fortunately, I had no faith in humanity in the first place.

[goddessofanime]

Notice he hasn't been back since...the OP that is..

Wait... They don't...?

Maybe I'll have to take back what I said about him surviving his own introduction thread..

[KabukiSaMuRaI]

I'm still waiting for my faith to be restored. Joining this forum didn't help at all...^_^

Crude analogy. Nice suggestions for anime. What a paradox.

You must have sisters. -_-;

Yeah, that's pretty sad. Go back to listening to your ****** 'extreme' metal, that's the only thing that makes you cool, right?

[Nathan-the-Axe]

Edit:

You know what, screw being nice. You called metal ******. The Pillows eat ****, just like every other soft rock boy band out there, who do it for the girls. If you are a guy, and you listen to their music, you quite obviously have a lack of testosterone in your body, and should see a doctor.

[taily]

Hello no-one likes you wierdo go away.

[Nathan-the-Axe]

Does it look like I really care?

That's funny, coming from someone who likes anime.

Just because you like anime doesn't mean you have to like crappy Japanese music.

[Naraku]

That wasn't what I was implying.

[Nathan-the-Axe]

That wasn't what I was implying.

Let's drop this and stop spamming this guy's thread. I apologize that I said that the music you like was ******.

[DavenIII]

I think you guys scared him :P

[f2akid]

^ :lol: I agree.

[taily]

Not talking to you, but I suppose it could be directed at you, if ya know what I mean.

LoL @ people who like metal. it's for noobs under the age of 8.

[Woooh]

Under the age of 8, huh? I guess that explains how bands like Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Metallica, and the sort, are all so popular. All of those 8 year olds swarming to their concerts. Seriously man, is it really necessary to insult a style of music that's been around longer than you have? It's pretty obvious that metal has held up over time, go do something better with your time.

[Trefellin]

^^ *death glare* :angry:

Extreme metal takes years before you can play your instrument with the proficiency and speed required. The vocals can only be safely done by someone with the proper training and technique. The drummers require much stamina. The differences between the difficulty in playing extreme metal and tampon rock are huge. An extreme metal guitarist could never get by with just your basic chords.

Metal expresses the side of life that most people prefer not to look at. That considered, it is no surprise that metal is nearly always abrasive, angry and in every way heavy. It explores pain, destruction, depression, hate, misanthropy, war, corruption, injustice, paranoia, loss, mysticism and pirates. Tampon rock seems very trivial by comparison.

In conclusion, heavy metal is better than The Pillows via occasional inclusion of pirates.

[f2akid]

Since when was this thread titled 'Metal v Rock'. Come on guys let's not get it locked.

[Trefellin]

^ Do you disagree with my clearly supported conclusion?

[f2akid]

No way Treff, you are perfectly right *crawls into himself*.

Tampon rock.. I like that term.

Due to Metal's lyrical content, I am not surprised that people prefer unrealistic happy bands like 'The Pillows' over bands like Cannibal Corpse, Nile, Black Sabbath, ect.

Your post was awful. I never debated that metal has held up over time, what I'm debateing is whether a bunch of crazed loonitics screaming down a microphone and labelling the nightmare of a sound they produce music should have held up over time.

It's probably a very hard concept to understand, but not all people want to waste their lifes thinking of such depressing things! thats right! People want to have FUN!
^ Do you disagree with my painfully awful conclusion?

Yes.

F2, I expected better.

much better. :|

[Shiroiyuki]

Yes, but just in the case of music -- someone out there would still appreciate it.




Stop flapping your opinions about music, everyone. The OP already died.....

Now this thread is just spam (and childish flaming) *sigh* :rolleyes:

*Attempting not to go on pillows-fanboy rant right now.*

And since when are the pillows a soft-rock band? This must be the only song you've heard by them.

OK, I'm done... I won't start war.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

... told ya the OP wouldn't last a week.

i guess we all win a complimentary Shiroiyuki cosplay pic, agreed?

That would be quite amazing. I would admire his skill and immense dedication despite how I feel about his subject matter.

Those things aren't depressing. The point is facing and confronting those things because the are a fact of life.
