Cross the Line

Ugetsu · 01-12-2012, 05:38 PM

Some random browsing brought me to this.

The message isn't far from Lady Gaga's -- but I actually never heard of "Superchick" before today. 1) Anime yuri collection, 2) lyrics, 3) original

Follow the leader, stay in the lines
What will people think of what you’ve done this time?

Go with the crowd, surely somebody knows
Why we’re all wearing the emperor’s clothes
Play it safe, play by the rules
Or don’t play at all - what if you lose?
That’s not the secret, but I know what is:
Everybody dies but not everyone lives

I’m gonna ride like I’ve got the cops on my tail
I’m gonna live my life like I’m out on bail

I’m gonna be out front, gonna blaze a trail
I’m gonna cross that line

Everybody freeze - don’t step over the line
Don’t stand up, they’ll shoot down the first one who tries
Try to change the world, they’ll think you’re out of your mind
Revolutions start when someone crosses the line
They want us to lie down, give into the lie
Nothing has to change, and no one has to die
That’s not the secret, but I know what is:
Everybody dies, but not everyone lives

Huh that's interesting, lots of yuri in it.

Some scenes I recognise from Strawberry Panic, Kannazuki no Miko, Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito (Did I spell the title right?), and the Blue Drop anime (Only one scene from Blue Drop, though).

I also recognised some scenes as being from Ga Rei Zero (though I haven't watched it yet).

Believe it or not, last I remember that spacesuit kiss scene was a straight couple, granted his appearance can be considered androgynous. (They are one-episode characters for the space setting episode of Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito).

According to one viewer, some scenes were from Shoujo Sect, but, considering the reputation for its content, and the reviews claiming a lack of substance to it, I'm not going to watch it.

I might one day watch Ga Rei Zero, though.

I have a question -- and I'm asking it seriously.

I don't know ANY of these animes, although I enjoyed the compilation. But I can't imagine watching enough anime to be able to recognize many of these moments. How do you watch so much anime? Are there cable TV stations that play anime all the time, or do you find it online and watch on computer? Buy videos?

I've bought most of the available KnJ animes but I still have a little trouble sitting still through an episode. If I watched more anime I am sure that my Japanese would improve just from the exposure to hearing it.

I go to sites that offer fan-subs, and watch them that way. Or, used to, that is. I haven't really watched an anime series all the way through since either the Wolverine anime or the X-Men anime, or the anime "Dirty Pair" from 1985.
