<< my favorite anime after Kenshiro >> Kenshiro has never been an addiction, even though it was clearly superior and wonderful, because it always got stopped, systematically. You could only get as far as Sauzer (if you were lucky), and then the next day another cartoon would start, perhaps due to complaints from moms or maybe because not the entire series was bought. I remember that when it would start again, I would watch it knowing that it wouldn’t lead anywhere. I watched it all when I was already in middle school, a bit late to get passionate about it like I was in elementary school. I watched the Uncle's series set in 1930s Shanghai a maximum of two years ago and I liked it, even now. I watched Sousei No Aquarion with my cousin's son, and I must say that if I had seen all those robots in the 80s, I would have cried miracle. And I'm still watching Naruto now.

<< It's not that we should depress and annihilate children by showing them killings and massacres. >> No no, either you’ve only seen Ken Shiro, or you don’t know much about Japanese animation. They teach important values like sacrifice, honor, friendship, and also a bit of ambition. Deaths were never depressing; if a good character died, it was always to save something or someone, and never before delivering an intergalactic speech on the aforementioned values. If a "bad" character died, in 90% of cases they redeemed themselves before dying and delivered their own mega-speech. Americans, on the other hand, don’t do that: the enemy always escapes in the end, leading to the conclusion that crime pays. Also, from a storytelling perspective, having the same enemies over and over gets boring; there are no surprises. << all the coolest giant robots [...] never seen on Bim Bum Bam. >> Bim Bum Bam never showed any giant robots; it was just crap. And if you remember well, if they sent a "superhero" or someone using force, it was always female. Nanà supergirl, La stella della Senna, Sailor Moon (a bit more recent, okay), and others I don’t remember because I hated them. BBB = gay. P.S. the hottest on the planet were Beaty & Reika, way better than Margot in my opinion, so even on the attractiveness front, the little TVs won. Alright, the hottest were from Cat's Eye, especially the older one. But Beaty & Reika were more promiscuous, so we’re even. But Daitarn was a great cartoon; Cat's Eye was for girls. I preferred the weird robots where humans became robots or had special powers, like Ufo Diapolon or the one with the guy who had a positive magnet and the girl had a negative one, and together they attracted robot parts... and of course Jig, with the coolest protagonist ever dressed like Jimmy Page on James Dean's motorcycle with hair styled with firecrackers. But the cartoon that most captivated me in life was Knights of the Zodiac and that big piece of crap Phoenix with the devil's fist; it was an addiction.

Another thing I hated with all my heart were the gostbaster with the monkey, even though I really liked the theme song. And then I hated Voltron, which had very few weapons and only ever used the sword. The whole episode was just mental gymnastics, then they would get slapped, then they would join together at the last second and bam, split in four with the sword, done. But the toy was stunning. And among the Americans, I forgot to mention how awesome the Starcom toys were, with the magnetized little figures and the Starmax Bomber that worked without batteries, a bomb.

To me, since I can remember, the show has always been crap. The cartoons were mostly terrible, except for Holly & Benji. The best animes were shown on those programs/targets that were sold to various regional networks. But Bim Bum Bam has always been a show for little girls, or for gay boys. Rai and TMC, on the other hand, had some nice ones - nice and nothing more, since no one ever died - American: Mesk, tanderchezz, Senturions, the Visgnonaris with their animal banners and Spiral Zone with the plague victims... the rest of the American cartoons were all garbage. One anime I never understood was "Capitan Futuro," nothing ever happened in that cartoon, so boring it was like a house. Although the king of annoyance was Galacsi esspress, anxiety-inducing stuff in spades. But it was still better than the little girl stuff on Bim Bum Bam; at least bad things happened in Galacsi.

PS: Flood sounds like a track from 5ive, rather, the records from 5ive are a lot like Flood.

I listened to it again this morning after a long time, and I have to say I remembered it much better. You can tell it's music made by boys for boys; at most, the title track is nice, and the idea of Disgustipated still shines, but it's not really a "track." On the other hand, the polished version of 10,000 Days I remembered worse; apart from Maynard's annoying melodies, it's a much more unique album (except Maynard here is dead serious): you can hear tracks like Bottom, Flood, Sober, and various other bits here and there; but Jambi, Rosetta Stoned, and the mixed track? No. Aenima & Lateralus are still beautiful, Lateralus just a bit more, even though Third Eye is unbeatable.

The hilarious intro encourages reading, but you stop here: << and probably one of the earliest compilations in the history of music. >> There are "compilations" even from the 40s. For example, there are only "compilations" of Robert Johnson. The first blockbuster albums by the Beatles were "compilations." This year the harvest hasn't gone so well, but it's not like it was worse... thief government.

<< Oh, exclusively I, in the world, am stupid! >> But who wrote "in the world"? Can you manage not to add anything to what people write to you, or is it that difficult? Can't you help but chew over what they tell you only to spit it back out with some irrelevant addition, or that makes “absolute” some trivial and simple discussions? They call you an imbecile because, literally, you don’t understand what people write to you or you misinterpret it. Always. << The true truth is that I write Truth >> No, the truth is that you write the bullshit that comes to your head.
