First of all, it's not Baby's First Anime. It's just that I generally don't like most anime with a few exceptions (though I can't think of them atm) but I had heard good things about this one and saw crazy monsters and whatnot so I figured I'd give it a shot. Anyway,
Wave's Adventures in Boring as Shit Anime Town part 05

This episode seems to encompass all that is cliche about anime in general. The inane high-school conversation with people doing random shit in uniforms, the awkward boob-grab...it must be on purpose. It's annoying, but less annoying than the last episode. UGH this episode is awkward though. I just don't think I get anime in general. Actually then again that's not true because I've really enjoyed every Miyazaki movie I've watched, and I've watched the weirder stuff like Totoro.

Edit: Oh wait, shit just got real, Angel sighting!

evangelion starts real slow, gets pretty actiony and then gets just absurdly weird.

Edit 2: That's what I'm fucking talking about. Gonna watch another one now. They probably could have been more creative than a big ol' Cube, but I won't complain about that for now.

No I don't give a shit about fighting robots honestly.
I'm a Lovecraft aficionado primarily so give me anything by Guillermo Del Toro or Stephen King and I'm happy.
It's the creative looking and styled monsters, end-of-the-world and things beyond human comprehension that gets me going.

oh oh oh. Sir wave you and I have similar tastes. Try Gantz.

if you want something that everyone knows. Full metal alchemist brotherhood is pretty lovecraftian. less color from space and more pickman's model-y

Really enjoyed Gantz up until the halfway point where everybody started hating it.
Oh and Berserk.
Don't fucking Baby's First anime me whoever that was.

Wave's Adventures in Batshit Crazy Anime Town part 04

Angsty teenagers and fighting robots do not a fun series make. More biblical apocalyptic epicness, less coming-of-age horseshit plz. I get that character development and stuff is important and themes and artistic integrity and whatnot, but if I wanted to watch the anime take on Catcher in the Rye, I would.

Hoping episode 5 is better.
