@Delightful I might have to check that out! I have not seen too many animes...I think I have seen only the following: Samurai Champloo, Samurai 7 (now), Death Note, Code Geass, Cowboy Beebop, Dragonball z (when I was younger) and Avatar the last airbender (not sure if it counts as a anime)

It's American made so doesn't totally count as an anime......really really good though!

Ooh do share!

Well. OK. But beware, spoilers for the latest season of iZombie lie herein! Also, there is discussion of the less pleasant aspects of zombie-ism, so squeamish people might not want to click.

Spoiler

OK. First, some background for those who haven't seen the show. Liv was a promising medical resident till a boat party gone wrong infected her with the zombie virus. She now works as a medical examiner to give her access to the brains she needs to eat in order to keep from going feral and losing her humanity. Fun side effects of brain eating include picking up exaggerated personality traits of the deceased and visions from the last days of their lives. She uses the visions to solve murders. She also comes up with interesting ways to prepare the brains with normal food items to make it psychologically easier for her to eat them (and more appropriate in semi-public). Ravi is her boss/friend/ally who figured out what was going on really quickly. He's been working on a cure.

So there's a side character named Katty Kupps who used to be Ravi's boss when he worked at the CDC.

She is, of course, killed under mysterious circumstances, so Liv feels obligated to try to solve her murder.

Liv bakes the brain into a cupcake.

It is...a KUPPCAKE.

You're welcome.

I AM SO EXCITED! They have literally been teasing this as a possibility since the 80s. And the Corsair, the gender-switching Time Lord that Eleven talks about in The Doctor's Wife? S/he was actually originally mentioned in the Fourth Doctor story Shada, which never actually aired due to a BBC strike.

I wish I could make clones with shared mind just so I could direct them to absorb popculture. I mean, Worm is longer than all of Harry Potter? Doctor Who has how many episodes?

You could kind of group them together in the fact that they are both animation made not for kids... But still a great show, although I haven't seen the new trailer yet, but I've heard that it is very good

Would that make South Park anime?

I think they mean more that they figure in the same category as anime (although there's probably also anime for younger viewers), which I would suppose South Park would fit in too.

Origin and Etymology of anime

Japanese, animation, short for animēshiyon, from English

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anime

Have to love the evolution of language. The Japanese incorporated and localized the pronunciation of an English word. It was then shortened for ease of use, and represents out to be a worldwide recognized genre. 

English > Japanese > Japanese slang > genre name = Partly English word used around the world to describe a distinct form of entertainment with a uniquely Japanese feel, even when it's not Japanese.

@Calderis Careful now... Lol, I'd hate to use all my upvotes on you two days in a row. 

Well, I won't complain either way. Maintain my inexplicable reputation, or spread the love. 

The only thing I refuse is to stop posting.

On a lighter topic, my mom keeps pressuring me to do something fun to celebrate my birthday, which was almost a month ago

That's a sentiment I can get behind! Treat yo self!

Posted (edited)

I would if it wasn't for the fact that I don't want to and she doesn't want to do anything special to celebrate her birthday, which is a few days before mine

Firefly is no longer available for streaming on Netflix.

If we didn't own the DVD set, I'd be crying right now. :mellow:

I almost downvoted you from sheer horror. 

I apologize for my near emotional overreaction

The only thing scarier than what's happening is division of the minds of the people, one side completely unable to comprehend the other.
