I really have no idea how I feel about Penguindrum. My thoughts on the characters keep slingshotting back and forth from sympathy to pity to anger to joy to laughter. All I know is that "Well, that escalated quickly" is relevant to at least one character.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Yeah, I just finished episode 4, and... yeah.  This is actually fairly substantially crackier than Utena :o

I should slow down my rate. Somehow the escalation has accelerated. Whoever wrote this must have been preposterously high, and quite possibly also a genius. I still don't know what I just watched, only that it goes right for the feels. Only it goes for all of them, instead of just the sads. Often, all at once.

Vector, you made me like something postmodern. What have you done.

I'm kinda with Furtuka. It was an admirable effort by TFS, but I'm not sure how well it worked. Haven't seen any other abridgements of AoT so I can't comment on how good any of the rest are.

Anyway, I decided to finally check out Gurren Lagann after that hypestorm from a few years back (yes, I am Slowpoke slow).

Be prepared for the best thing ever. Of all time.

Indeed, I do this.

I think I'm about halfway through the series now.

It's good. I'm not sure I'd call it the best thing ever, but the action scenes are nicely awesome, the characters are interesting, and the fanservice is, of course, appreciated. I hear this "Kill la kill" thing is made by the same studio and is supposedly even crazier, so I guess I'll watch it in a few years.

I dunno, it hasn't really gotten that crazy yet. Of course, the series is only half done so far, and TTGL didn't get really crazy until the second half either, so maybe it'll get super crazy soon.

As an aside, one thing I really like about Kill la Kill is the artstyle. It's more cartoonish than most recent shows and it's very fitting for an action-comedy.

EDIT: This is pretty neat. Sirus shouldn't open it just yet though because spoilers.

Hahaha, that newspaper. I assume the one at the end is from the movie I haven't seen?
