Artisa Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 So I'm writing a CV for the first time in my life and having trouble finding crap to put on it. Can I list "Monkey tamer and thrill seeker" under skills?
DrMcCoy Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 I could be wrong but it doesn't sound like you particularly enjoy these particular shows Acknowledging problematic elements does not mean I didn't enjoy watching those shows. I quite liked Azumange Daioh; it is cute and funny otherwise. I mean, how can you not like Chiyo-chan? YuruYuri, I liked a bit less, and it is rather weird. But it's still also cute and funny. So I'm writing a CV for the first time in my life and having trouble finding crap to put on it. I also recently wrote an English CV (for reasons). Apart from student projects and internships, I'm not that big on job experience, so I put the skills list in front. Luckily, I have enough I can list there. Are you applying at a zoo? "Monkey tamer and thrill seeker" would fit perfectly there.
Zoom Rabbit Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 PLAB = Please Leave Anime Behind. Unless it's either Cowboy Beebop or Samurai Champloo.
Artisa Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 Skills up front, huh? Ooh-kay! Lol working in a zoo would be the bomb! As long as idiots don't try to jump into the tiger enclosure Hmm I have a tendency to watch the dark-ish anime believe it or not! Largely cos of the hotness and badassery
DrMcCoy Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Darkish? I heard Attack on Titan is good. I have yet to watch it, though. If you want slightly ridiculous goth-ish, I can recomment Hellsing.
Zoom Rabbit Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) Just a trailer; try the movie! Vintage 1977.
Zoom Rabbit Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Actually, just watch this clip. It will spoil the movie if you plan to see 'Wizards,' though. (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) Clip. See what I did there?
Artisa Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 Clip. Touché Wow the cartoons back then were a lot more... adult oriented, no? And that goth anime looks a littttle too creepy
DrMcCoy Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Just watch it (warning, probably not safe for work ): (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)
Artisa Posted September 30, 2014 Author Posted September 30, 2014 Okay I'll admit, that actually looks really interesting! So she becomes some kind of badass protege then? And why is he working for humans?
DrMcCoy Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Yes. And you'll see. But still, it's quite silly at times. And all this religous bull**** is also seriously grating. And the tech babble is often transparently bull****, too (That's not how genetics works. Or chips. And Mitochondrial Eve was not the first human as is implied at one time in the show.).
Zoom Rabbit Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Actually, mitochondrial Eve was clearly a human colonist deposited here by a distant space civilization, as implied in the finale to Battlestar Galactica. And she was half Cylon.
DrMcCoy Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Oh, **** BSG. Both the old and the new one, both rooted in Mormon propaganda.
Zoom Rabbit Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Mormon? I always thought BSG was a Scientology plug. *(Shrugs.)*
Artisa Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 Ok clearly I'll have to watch this to understand what the heck everyone's going on about.
Zoom Rabbit Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Try this link for the whole series, which follows the exodus of humanity from a destroyed civilization elsewhere in the galaxy to Earth. If you just want to see the destruction of that civilization, this link is the mini series (three hours) that start the story, which also plays as a movie on its own. Gotta see. Probably won't turn you into a Mormon.
Artisa Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 Woooooow would it kill me to mention I was under the impression Battlestar Galactica was a game this whole time?
Zoom Rabbit Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 There were also a couple of BSG games. I used to have the one for X-box, a starfighter sim where you could fly vipers. Not the easiest video game ever put out. Loads of fun if you like being overrun by Cylons...
Skinkie Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Try this link for the whole series, which follows the exodus of humanity from a destroyed civilization elsewhere in the galaxy to Earth. If you just want to see the destruction of that civilization, this link is the mini series (three hours) that start the story, which also plays as a movie on its own. Gotta see. Probably won't turn you into a Mormon. It's worth checking out. Later on it gets a bit clunky and the prequel series never knew what it wanted to be, but the miniseries and first couple seasons are fantastic
Artisa Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 I have like a massive list of "Things I have to see" by my friends and brother including, but not limited to, various anime, K-drama and... *cough* Star Wars *cough cough*
Zoom Rabbit Posted October 12, 2014 Posted October 12, 2014 Watch BSG first, then Star Wars. Watch none of the anime, except Cowboy Beebop and Samurai Champloo.
