yeah, invader zim. cancled because "it was too dark and violent for a post 9/11 world." And apparently the artists had a scene where gir was covered in blood in the last episode, or pizza sauce, if you want to believe the explanation of the writers. anyway, i found the first episode on youtube. if you have 25 minutes, go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S28LQYiJq0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx9dzdI9xGM&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS7iZm1Okgk&feature=related
Yeah a lot of the trendy gothic kids out here loved that show. But what set it off was the johnny the homicidal maniac books.. or comics whatever they were. Jhonen, the guy who makes them actually is from this area, so the people out here were hyped up about his work before that show was even made.
I have never heard of those books or ever watched this programme but I will say that's possibly the best title for a series of books I've heard in a long time.
Of my mates, only one guy i know has seen it. nobody at uni either, which is weird, but then at the college i'm at it's a bubble. nobody here has even heard of Asher Roth.... most people are still listing to and enjoying "Rianna", unless they've managed to get to the stage of listening to music that i was at 6 years ago... liking the music that your parents liked.
I used to watch it when it was on air in Middle school, my favorite episode is the one where find out Mars was converted into a spaceship by the original inhabitant of Mars. Besides you're all wrong... >.> On an semi related topic Jhonen Vasquez directed this music video (some parts of the song wouldn't seem out of place in an Invader Zim episode).
Yeah Ren And Stimpy get pretty damn close to being the best cartoon ever made. The Boonducks are a runner-up solely for this gem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqsDRQJesMI
just out of curiosity, did anyone watch the episode i put up there? edit: shit, forgot about boondocks. great theme tune to that. also a good theme to samurai jack. skunk fu has a hip hop intro but totally fails.
invader zim is the best cartoon ever made. ren and stimpy is on the list but looses because of the remake. and boondocks is very close to the title but does not have gir so it can not take it. aeon flux comes close as well but lacks the replay value of invader zim, and also does not have gir. ba'al: its not that we dont see you, its that we dont care.
