Adult Swim - Case Closed

Posted: Fri Jul 23, 2004 2:41 pm

I've been watching this because I've been up too late at night.

The basic premise of this show is so lacking in verisimilitude every time I see the opening I feel like the TV kicked me in the balls and ate my brain while I was defenseless. There's this guy who's a super soccer star, who wants to be the next Sherlock Holmes ... he runs around solving mysteries. But one day he was apparently given a pill that turned him into a kid as part of some sort of lame conspiracy.

Once you get past that however the show is pretty cool. It's kind of like an anime version of Murder She Wrote but without the suck and the menopause. From what I've seen they're always solving murder mysteries.

I just wish it was a really smart kid instead of this overly complicated premise. I would say this gets the Uty seal of approval.

Are your stamps mushroom-shaped?

No although they are laced with toxic levels of LSD. Do not expose to bare skin.

I was referring to the head of your dick (i.e. "mushroom tattoo"), but that works, too.

I would like to retract any statements which insinuate my penis should not be touched. In fact, licking it daily cures cancer.

Plus it contains a nutritious dose of antidepressants, so I'm told. Good for the whole family!

Oh, I've seen that. I usually catch the tail end of the show. It's fun and a nice alternative to some of the other anime you normally find.

yeah, it's weird in premise- but what anime isn't? I mean, I always watch this one show (I'll let ya'll figure out which one <---) and there's this 15 yr old japanese school girl that accidentally falls down a well and comes out in feudal japan where she accidentally unleases a teenage half dog-demon in red zubas, and this school girl turns out to be the reincarnation of the half-dog demon's dead lover... um? share the crack please. convoluted premise required for anime. BTW- your show comes on after mine, uty... Laughing

And then she makes me watch it so my brain explodes.

HA! Al, Inuyasha's nothing in comparison to Neon Genesis Evangelion in terms of brain explosion. If you can watch the series and get through the last three episodes with out your mind imploding, then there's something wrong with you. I'd be surprised if Inuyasha didn't have some wierd Schizophrenic ending. Though you should watch Gundam Wing, you would like it. It's strange, but you both could watch it.

It's just more of a thing between me and sharon, not knocking the show or anything. I actually watch it.

I like Inuyasha in small to medium doses but wouldn't say I'm a fan of the series. Generally anything where they say the name of the technique as they perform it pisses me off.

I know what you mean. I still watch it though. Although by this point I watch it out of principle because I just want the damn thing to end so I can see how exactly they're going to end it. It's on episode 154 or something, and it's killing me... absolutely killing me.

I've only been able to get through the first two DVDs of Evangelion because my friend's disc 3 is the wrong DVD. Him and I have been trying for about a year to find a disc 3 at a good price. No luck so far.
