The Cowboy Bebop marathon I had recently inspired me to look at Best Buy’s anime section for new movies, and I came across the new Evangelion 1.01 DVD and picked it up. I’ve always been curious about Neon Genesis Evangelion but never got into it since it was such a long series. Now it’s being revamped as a series of 4 movies with new animation, story surprises, and 3D effects/animation. If 1.01 is a sign of what’s to come, I can’t wait for Evangelion 2-4. More giant robots!
I also found this clip of “Tank!”, the Cowboy Bebop theme song redone with Mario Paint. Awesome.

In my post-surgery recovery, I’ve discovered a british show called Modern Toss that’s showing on the IFC channel. It’s pretty hilarious with bits of Monty Python, and lots of animation mixed with live action. They go for a more crude drawing style instead of polish and style, which come out in the writing and comedy. Here’s a clip:
Cowboy Bebop is an anime series that’s still on Cartoon Network’s adult swim. I received the whole series on DVD for Christmas and finished watching it last night. It’s pretty damn good, with bittersweet tones in the story, and an awesome jazzy soundtrack. I wish I had caught on to it years ago but I did see the movie when it came out and thought it was great. I hear there’s a live action movie in the works. I hope they don’t fuck it up, and they pick a good Faye Valentine.
