shadowkat1. So, flirting with watching Anime on Hulu and Netflix over the weekend. But there's lot a million to choose from. Any recs? The one's I am considering?
Black Butler
Full Metal Alchemist (assuming I can find a dubbed version, I hate reading subtitles with anime, it gives me a headache. I think it's that words over animation don't work well? (shrugs) ).
Cowboy BeeBop
Gundam ?
Suggestions? Note, I like powerful female characters, and tend to swing more towards het over LGBT romance, but can go with male/male or male/female, female/female? Not as into. I like male and female characters in stories.
Also more adult, than kid. So adult characters over just teens if possible?
Any anime fans?
(If you hate anime - scroll on by. Don't have the patience. Difficult week.)
2. Given up on posting on GH Spoiler Fan Board. Just lurking now, for the spoilers. Two of the moderators pushed my patience today to its limit. They don't like it when people disagree with them or view something differently, and try to "bully" them into changing their mind. I don't like bullies.
Moderator/Admin: Grade Today's Show
Me: F for frustrating. Felt it dragged. Not helped by frustrating day at work. Also my mother and I have issues watching the Altziemer's storyline because my Dad has recently been diagnosed with it.
And had to fast-forward a lot. Depise the Ferncliff bits. Why are Carly's hair and makeup perfect and what do the hair and makeup people have against Maxie?
Moderator: How dare you rate it an F. Why an F? Other members loved it. And what problem do you have with Maxie's hair, I think it's amazing. Also it's finally moving forward!
Me: Eh..to each their own? If that big an issue I'll raise it to a C. I just felt it dragged.
Moderator 2: Don't do us any favors! You rated it badly based on your personal life and it had nothing to do with the show!!
Me: Gee. I rated it the way I did because I felt the episode drug. And thank you so much for your compassion and understanding towards my personal issues. Greatly appreciated.
Bye now. And no longer bothering to tell you what I think, since you just want people to parrot back your own views.
(They think they can bully me into cursing. I've been on social media a long time -- the best way to deal with a bully is to say how lovely they are, how nice they've been, thank them for their kindness and understanding. Then leave the conversation completely. The bully looks like a bully and an idiot. The other method is to patronize and condescend to them. Or? Just leave. Actually just leaving works best.)
(And I turned off notifications for the post, and hid her notification and refused to look at her response and stopped posting. It's good for spoilers, but the moderators are bullies and bit insane. Then again, it is a Facebook posting board for a daytime soap opera fandom, so what did I expect? Soap fans are notorious for their trollish behavior online. So too are comic books fans. It's why I've swung clear of them for the most part. I miss the Voy ATPOBTVS board, it had cool moderators, who were opposed to censorship and didn't bully people. Also it was harder to bully folks on Voy. You didn't notifications. You'd have to physically visit the board and click on the link. After a while, I would just avoid certain posters responses regarding certain characters or episodes, and I was fine. FB sends you notifications (because it is impossible to follow otherwise).)
I've 0 patience for this crap now. People can be assholes.
3. Thinking about watching Suits and Mozart in the Jungle on Amazon Prime. Yellowstone has gotten a bit on the dark side...and I can't even. Also, Wyonana Earp, assuming S2 has made it to the US Netflix yet. Hadn't when I last checked. I wonder if it might be on Hulu?
4. May need a new phone, after last upgrade, it's been freezing on me. Stupid Apple Software Updates that are useless. I honestly think there is a place in hell reserved for software engineers. (No, I don't, since I don't believe in hell -- you sort have to believe in hell for their to be a place in it for software engineers...don't you?)
5. MD introduced me to the folk group Cowboy Junkies on FB, while CW introduced me to Erasure on FB.
I think I may like Erasure better. But if I had to go to a concert? Cowboy Junkies. Rock Concerts - I find headache inducing.
Any new music to recommend? Try to stay away from Electrica, Rap, and Hip Hop...I'm picky on those three.

I've heard good things about Full Metal Alchemist. There's definitely some good fic out there.

This band is from Sark. I saw them live, and really liked them. The trumpet player looks like a little Johnny Depp, if Johnny Depp was black.

John Scalzi's daughter rec'd Black Butler on his site. Considering trying Umbrella Academy -- if I can find it.
By the way -- Wynonna Earp S2 -- was so good. Much better than S1.

Date: 2018-07-24 02:42 pm (UTC)I pre-date you on the anime -- most of the stuff I saw was in the 1970s-2001, didn't see a lot after that point. (Basically, I watched it when we still had VHS, no DVDs and no streaming or Cartoon Network. You had to go to weird video stores and hunt. Also some comic book stores had it.) Only saw the movie of Lupin III, not the series. Only the Castle Calistonkia movie was available, and when I was able to get a hold of the series -- realized they were completely different, and the movie had better anime and a better plot.
Animation was different for those of us who grew up in the 1970s and 80s. ;-)
