Last two episodes of an anime i just watched were awesome. Completely mind blowing in those last couple of episodes.
Still trying to absorb all of it lol. That was like Lord of the Flies and The Shining all wrapped up in a homicidal bundle of anime joy.

This was a great scene for instance, i laughed my ass off

Anime =/= epic... because it is dumb.

oh no, i have a better clip from that episode to fit "poof!"







and i realize some people think anime is dumb which is fine. i think most tv shows and movies are dumb. each to their own. i just know that the short time i spent watching that tonight was the most relaxed i've been all day and it made me honestly laugh out loud multiple times and that is priceless considering how stressed out and grumpy i usually am.

lol...yeah the innkeepers going insane was a great twist. apparently they were related to one of the kids who died in an earlier episode so were within the sphere of influence of the whole curse thing that was going on.

Laughter is such a great way to unwind and forget about your stress. If anime does it for you, that's great. Lately I've been getting into the Graham Norton Show (been getting hooked on a lot of BBC programming). You can't tell how good it will be based on the guests either.... which I kinda like. Every show is unpredictable and can really make you laugh.

I'll never forget Graham Norton having the girl on his show that blows... well just watch.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=122l5z4A34U

skip ahead to around 5:00 if you don't want to watch it all

ohh, and NSFW!

I hope it's ok, you can't actually see anything really... and it WAS broadcast on UK television.

what i miss the most about graham norton's show is him embarrassing the tits off his audience members.

if you've ever seen Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, you'll realize that this sort of thing isn't new -- laughing at excessive violence because it's so over-the-top as to be completely ridiculous.

i can't really explain it myself. some people just enjoy this sort of thing while others are either disgusted, horrified or just plain frightened by it. my favorite characters have always been the psychopaths too. the more twisted and psychopathic a character is the more i enjoy their character. same thing for bloody horror and all the crazy sh*t that went down in the last few episodes of this, it was just epic and some of the most fun i've had watching something in a while.

i think somewhere at the source of it all is i'm just a sadist. i think most people are prolly born that way and influences from society, friends, family etc all conspire to make people either afraid of those feelings or make them think they're wrong so they get suppressed or stamped out. its not socially acceptable to say "i get a thrill out of bloody violence and other peoples fear" so people shove that part of them aside until its gone. either that or i really am just completely nuts but at least i know i'm not alone lol...i know plenty of other people feel the same way about this kind of thing as Accident pointed out otherwise we wouldn't have entertainment dating back thousands of years based on it. i just think alot of people have suppressed it to "fit in" and alot of other people just won't admit it because they worry about what people think about them. personally i don't give a flying f**k what people think about me so its all good tongue
