Best Anime

  1. Neon Genesis Evangelion
  2. FLCL
  3. Ghost In The Shell
  4. Akira
  5. Claymore
  6. Cowboy Bebop
  7. Vandread
  8. Gurren Lagann
I was going to make this a top ten list, but then my mind drifted and I realized there were only 8 good anime in my mind. These are those eight. Admittedly, I have not completed watching Vandread yet, but up to episode eight I'd have to see it's pretty dang amazing considering how crappy it could have been. I might expand on this and give deeper explanations if my mind cares to catch up with my fingers.

Presently I am supposed to be studying for some Law of Mass Communication test tomorrow (or doing homework assignments related to that class), but I don't really feel motivated in the slightest. Each court case presented by the text book essentially results in split courts unable to make up their mind what constitutes libel or breach of freedom of expression. Everything is up to debate, that's what it amounts to. How am I supposed to give a definitive answer on a homework assignment or a test when there is no right or wrong answer? Moreover, how am I, a measly undergrad Journalism student, supposed to formulate an opinion when so-called experts, supreme court justices, can't agree upon one. It's as if they're all high on capital hill just saying "well yeah I think that's libel." 

"But wait," another justice responds, "blah blah blah blah blah the court system, blah blah blah, original jurisdiction, blah blah blah blah blah, actual malice was not proven, blah blah blah." Make up your minds people so I can make up mine! I just wanna get out of this class, not be the next supreme court justice sitting around philosophizing about whether or not something is protected speech. 

End rant
