Yeah, Mugen is so badass!
Such a shame Nujabes passed away so early. 
You should check out his other works, especially the luv(sic) series, if you haven't already. 
I see. The last I watched Bleach was way back then, I was wondering what happened to that series.
And I was referring to Samurai Champloo, I rarely see people talking about it.

There's so little to talk about with Champloo. It's just that kind of show, and I almost want to question why people think so highly of it.
Action was cool, but don't forget the purpose was to find the samurai who smelled like sunflowers. She did and it was nothing special. "Oh you found him. Oh gasp, that's who he was? that's his current condition? Oh........."

Doing it wrong. Samurai Champloo is that rare kind of show where the story is there to help showcase and drive the shows strenghts, which are it's cool style and music that is seemingly impossible to put together with samurais but somehow it works, and the excelent animation and graphics. Yes, you can pull off a show that can do both, Cowboy Bebop showed us, but it's pretty difficult. That's why Champloo is not as good, but it's still an awesome show.

watching the show is more time-consuming than reading for the same amount of time you have to sit through a single episode, DK.
Seriously.
Reading a manga just gives you something visual. At least when you're watching the show, it's giving you something aural too, which can really help the atmosphere and, in the case of the characters' voices, gives you an idea of how they're feeling or their personalities.
Oh, and speaking of anime, I finally got around to watching Eva 3.0. The animation quality is superb, as is the voice acting and pretty much anything to do with sound, which really helps in the atmospheric department.
I really think 3.0 was too short by about 10-15 minutes, and as a result gave us too little time to focus on...
WILLE's crew and their EVA pilots. It would have been nice if they gave us a brief scene in their hastily-repaired canteen where Asuka, Mari and the new Bridge Bunnies have a brief chat, and perhaps filled us in on what happened in the timeskip. I find it hard to believe the fanfics out there that say that humanity is down to its last millions of people, if WILLE can maintain their fleet.
Despite this flaw, Eva 3.0 gets a 9/10 from me. It's visually and aurally stunning, and in true Eva fashion, becomes a mindscrew.

Come to think of it, I see your point. It's just that it's a cool anime with an amazing soundtrack and a decent story but I don't know what to talk about it as well.
EDIT:
AOS, that trailer you posted reminds me of those American B Grade movie with a stupid plot and bad special effects. You know 'Dinocroc vs. Supergator', 'Boa vs. Python', etc.
But I'm sure it works because it's an anime. Also an octopus attacks a girl.
So, the new Rebuild series will have the same overall theme that's gonna mess up your mind?
OK, I'm gonna hold off for now to let my mind recover from NGE and EoE.

The real reason why there's little Samurai Champloo talk around to see is everyone has already seen it, and discussed most things years ago.
I'm like one of only ten people on the interwebz who hasn't finished Champloo.

Evangelion 1.0 is brilliant, if rather repetitive to those who have seen the original. 2.0 meanwhile... It's entertaining, but they should have stuck closer to the original story. I haven't seen 3.0 yet...

You're right in that sense, but reaching the goal is a drive nevertheless. They did spend a lot of time not focusing on the goal, which would make your statement valid, but I don't agree entirely with your statement because it the answer to it is precisely what I'm getting at.
Take Aria for example, the undines spend 3 seasons of the show working their way up to become primas. That was the intended goal and they achieved it and also ended the show on a high note. And it the body episodes ran similar to Champloos in that it's all seemingly irrelevant events occurring. I guess you can say Champloo's ending was anti-climatic for me becuase when I was sitting through the final episode I was expecting some kind of grand reveal. Instead, there was no relevant intensity other than life-threatening moments...
I guess them surviving embellishes the friendship, but really I wanted something big to go down for that epic "bad-ending route" twist.
I had this discussion with my sister before. While mangas don't give you spectacular music (not that many shows even have good OSTs to begin with), when you get into a reading, you create your own personalities and voices for the characters. You won't hear their voices, but rather, you begin to create their voices unconsciously. It makes your imagination go to work.
Think of it this way: What you hear in a show is simply the director's own interpretation of what they think that character sounds and behaves. You take on what he/she thinks the characters and the atmosphere is like. Reading allows you do it on your own - the way you want.
That's better on your brain too, because you're making it go to work.
Really? I was hoping it was "trying" to be serious the whole way through so I could laugh the whole time. Like Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus.

Confirmed, no more FMP! anime ever (Especially since it's been 8 years since TSR!). May people stop complaining to KyoAni about more FMP! (Especially when it's 100% impossible for KyoAni to make more FMP!. It's up to the LN publisher to help make it happen).

There is, it's based off of a LN as I learned a year or two ago.
Every time now when it's announced Kyoto Animation is making something new, many FMP! fans constantly go "But where's my FMP!?". I've been seeing it just about every time now on ANN threads, along with MAL and a few other places.
