Battle Suit Justice Burailion


An insane anime mecha, Burailion has almost no IOs slotted up, but is still one of my favorite characters. I went Invulnerability/Energy Melee because I wanted him to be a PvP character, but interest in him PvPing gave way to mild RPing with him.
This isn't his original outfit, but it's my current favorite (mainly because most of the pieces didn't exist when I stopped playing). It's a combination of Cyborg (arms, legs, shoulders, belt, hat, face plate, and chest plate), Enforcer (gauntlets, chin piece), and Techbot pieces (torso and head), with Piston Boots tossed in for good measure.
I'll be adding some binds and macros to him later, fleshing out the whole deluded crazy robot angle. Such catchphrases to be added:
  • "Burning finger!"
  • "Battle Suit Justice beatdown!"
  • "I've seen this episode; it's the one where I kick your ass!"
  • "Last time on Battle Suit Justice Burailion: I was awesome!"
  • "Battle Suit Justice Burailion has high insurance premiums."
  • "You are a fly in the soup of justice!"
That last one seems more in the vein of what the Tick would scream out, but you get the idea.

So a bishonen, a futanari, and a catgirl walk into a bar...

In addition to the live action domestic TV we watch, my wife and I watch a lot of anime too.

Before we got involved, it was a passing interest of mine. I didn't go out of my way to see new things, and was pretty much limited to Escaflowne and Dragon Ball Z. Then, I did a five year stint as a movie store employee (three years at Blockbuster as a clerk, two at Hollywood Video as a manager), and I saw more anime than I can recall. Ninja Scroll, Akira, Ghost in a Shell, Metropolis, Trigun, Princess Monoke, Spirited Away, Howle's Moving Castle, Record of the Loddoss War, Vampire Princess Miyu, Dark Stalker, Spriggan, Now and Then-Here and There, Voices of a Distant Star, Millenium Actress, Beserker, Tokyo Babylon, anything that I could get my hands on, I checked it out at least once.

From there, I progressed to japanese live action films, like Ichi the Killer, Full-Time Killers, Deadly Outlaw Rekka, The Returner, Princess Blade, Audition (best horror film ever). Leyna never shared my entusiasm for japanese film, prefering to stay with anime herself. Once we moved in together, I ended up being exposed to a slew of anime I had either never heard of, or never been interested in, like Last Exile, X, Gravitation, Peacemaker, Tsubasa Chronicles, Full Metal Panic, Tide Line Blue, Orphan, Gance, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Vandread, Saiyuki, Shinesman, plus many others that I've forgotten.

Obviously, I've been exposed to a fairly decent cross section of anime.

Of course, there are still, literally, hundreds of other OVAs, movies, and series I haven't seen, much of which I'm looking forward to seeing. I'm open to suggestions, fyi.
