I just rewatched Vampire Hunter D.

I was convinced that it's not going to stand the test of time, but I only loved it more than ever. There was no better way to squeeze that novel material into a 80 minutes anime back then. A true classic in which I wouldn't change even one frame. I even like the ending music, though, so you can call me a drity fanboy. Just watch your neck...

I might give it a try. Been looking for some good Halloween anime.

I wish someone here other than me would watch Morbito. Honestly one of the best I ever seen.

Bloodlust is vastly superior, but the original one has the '80s spirit nailed down and I love it.

Just finished Anohana. It was pretty good, had some really great characters but the show itself tried too hard to be sad.. it had its moments but overall it was just not very effective. It's worth watching just because of the characters though, you'll hate them all.... but then you'll love them! Hurray!

Anyway here's the opening, couldn't find it on youtube...

Now I'm moving onto Shin Megami Tensei: Tokyo Mokushiroku/Tokyo Revelation. Sweet stuff, but SMT fans should know that it's based on the SMT manga by Suzuki Kazunari and Ogishima Chiaki, a manga which is very loosely related to the games.

I'd like to go back to the Megami Tensei anime from the 80s, the one I talked about earlier.

It's actually pretty weak overall (too short and cheesy, and it was intended as a starting point for what never followed, lol), but there are some cool bits of it.

In an interesting twist of fate, Tony from Digital Devil Database managed to buy some cels from this anime!

I just noticed for the first time something interesting in Cowboy Bebop, and I'm sure probably everyone noticed it but me, but for anyone who has finished it
as you know, Spike's right eye was a fake the whole time - he lost it in a fight years before. At the end of the last episode, The Real Folk Blues - Part II, when he stumbles down the broken escalator after the final fight with Vicious, just before he points at the remaining syndicate and says "Bang!" he is now missing his left eye as well. Kind of gave me the creeps, since I never thought that detail through before.

I was sitting in the lab for my molecular biology class and the professor had written down an example of a DNA sequence of a certain allele. It went something like this:

CCCTCATTCATTCATTCATCA

In my sleep-deprived state of my mind, I read that as

ATATATATATATATATATATATAT

For the next five minutes I wondered what class would be like if Kenshiro taught it before realizing that I should probably be paying attention.

:lol:
Chances are, that's actually what Kenshiro's DNA sequences look like.
So much explained.
