just reviving the thread a little.
my anime queue has been extremely light as of late. i've only been checking out La Blue Girl just to see what all the hubub was about.
i think i want to find a good rewatch. something like G Gundam or GaoGaiGar.
Casshern Sins.
boy is it kickass.
I'm still kind of forcing myself through Zeta Gundam at the moment. While the series had a very cool start, it has been somewhat declining since they went down to Earth and only recovers little by little from it upon returning back to space. One of the main reasons why I'm still watching it is Jerid Messa. I just like this guy.
I'm not sure yet if I should really continue with ZZ after Zeta as I heard it's not that good. Maybe I'll just skip it and go directly for Char's Counterattack.
Ahhh Jerid. I like Jerid too. He's also fun to use in DW: Gundam.
I have yet to watch ZZ Gundam. I've also heard that it's not that great. My friend told me it starts off pretty bad then picks up towards the end, but by that time, it's too late. I'll eventually get around to watching it.
As for what I'm watching now, still just Casshern: Sins and Gundam 00. Oh, and Zeta Gundam with my Dad on Ani-Monday.
Currently watching the third Inuyasha movie.
Also, finally started watching Amaenaide yo!
Im sticking with the Geass dub, and after that.. not much. :\
Almost done with Shakugan no Shana.
Would've been finished earlier, but I had to do over-time at work.
I'm watching a bunch of animes, but the ones I'm really focused on are Casshern Sins, and Gundam 00 Season 2.
I really need to get around to watching those other ones. >_>
ZZ is great, ho. x:
Re-watching Lucky Star~

Elpeo Puru definitely peeked my interest in this series even more!
I haven't watched anime for awhile, so just to state my status:
Futakoi 1/13
Naruto: Shippuuden 82/-
Rizelmine 15/24
Toradora! 4/25
Gundam 00.
Everything else ended and havn't bothered to start anything new. Maybe Cashern or what ever it's called.

Watch it. Casshern Sins is awesome. Casshern and 00 are the best series of this fall season.
Currently watching and waiting...
5D's, Casshern sins, Rosario+ vampire capu 2, rune soldier Louie, and Toradora.
Hajime no Ippo, certainly good! The boxing matches are well written and drawn, they never bored me. Some of the humor is funny too, especially when Takamaru san is part of it. Each boxer is quite unique as well, each of them having a trademark technique such as the Flicker or the White Fang.
Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion Season 1.
I just finished To Love Ru a little while ago...
I swear, out of 26 episodes, 23 were fillers. ALL FILLERS.

My weekly anime list:
[spoiler]Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters - 5 episodes
Casshern Sins - 1 episode
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 S2 - 1 episode
Toradora! - 1 episode
Kyo no Go no Ni TV - 1 episode
Skip Beat! - 1 episode
Digimon Savers - 1 episode
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl - 1 episode
Bakugan Battle Brawlers - 1 episode
Battle B-Daman Fire Spirits - 1 episode
[/spoiler]
I always wondered when I saw your list updates on my MAL panel, what version of DM do you watch? Sub, Bootleg or Dub? Because GX_ST is somewhat slow. Still waiting for further Battle City arc episodes.
Ah, Yu-Gi-Oh! is dubbed, but it's not by 4Kids.
It's dubbed by my local tv network.
Just watched the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam MS IGLOO 2 - Gravity of the Battlefront.
The concept is pretty interesting, not to mention that this series predates everything in UC. What sucked however, was that my PC wasn't capable of catching up with the video due to it's 720p nature. And those [gg] bastards no longer release any lower res subs...f*cking assholes...
Hmm, I see a lot of people are watching Casshern Sins.
I'll add that to my list...
Looks like that Zeta Gundam is getting interesting again, now that Axis and Haman Karn have showed up. I only know the Gryps Conflict from video games, but it was already cool there, so I'm looking forward to that.
Still getting Digimon Movies. Downloading Adventure 01 next.
Paranoia Agent
And my weekly list is
-Gundam 00 2nd
-Katekyo Hitman Reborn
-Casshern Sins
-Tales of the Abyss
-Bleach
-Naruto Shippuden
-To Aru Majutsu no Index
-Soul Eater
Casshern Sins, Gundam 00.
Casshern continues to impress me, while Gundam 00's second season is quickly losing my interest.
I'm watchin FLCL now.
On my list:
Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka
Casshern Sins
Ergo Proxy
Gundam 00 Season 2
Toradora!
Vampire Knight Guilty
I outta check out Casshern Sins. To many mentions for me to ignore.

Re-watching HunterXHunter G.I.
I'm finally finishing up with Amaenaideyo!! Katsu!, currently on episode 10. After this one, only three more to go, and then I can focus on Genshiken.
Just finished Zeta Gundam. Uh...so this is honestly supposed to be the best of Universal Century? I think not. It's nowhere near 08th MS Team on that matter. It's better than 0079, 0080 and 0083, but not 08th. I also say it's better than W, but I do not understand why so many people claim Zeta to be the best of all Gundams. Not to mention that Kamille got more annoying the further the series progressed, I pretty much lost sympathy for him just like I did with Shinn Asuka. I'll give it a 7.5 out of 10. Not sure if I should continue with the next Gundam series or with something else. If I were to continue with Gundam, I'm still not sure which I should take. ZZ doesn't seem too interesting (except maybe for more awesome Haman), whereas Char's Counterattack does. I still have to continue on X, yet I also would like to see G.
you need to see it to better understand CCA. >.>

For the first dozen or so episodes, when Shinn still had something similiar to character development, before he turned into one-way-only blockhead. Shinn DID have potential for becoming a good character eventually, it's just that Sunrise didn't let him and instead turned him into an emo kiddie who got his ass raped by Athrun and Kira.
FINALLY finished Shakugan no Shana. (hate my computer...)
Better than I expected actually. Should I start on the second season, or watch To Aru Majutsu no Index first?
SHANA 2. NAO.

yeah, unforunately, if you skip it, youll miss Char's reason for going back to Zeon.
Finally finished Rizelmine. It kinda saved itself at the end, but it was almost too late. 6/10
Might as well try to finish the Futakoi series. I saw like one episode about a month ago... :P
what im watching?
-toradora

LOL, I have about a week without touching the tenth episode of the second season of Amaenaideyo!! Katsu. :P It's partly because I know that once I finish that, the only thing waiting for me is Genshiken, and then I have to get myself to downloading some of the other stuff I want to watch. -_-

Only reason why I watched it is due to free time during my 1st period class.
You watched that in class!? -_-
I should get my butt out and finish up Amaenaideyo!...
One week, and only watched the first 2 eps... >.>;
Technically, I have no 1st period. I have an A Period (period before 1st) and second period afterwards... No time to escape home. Enough time to get to the closest 7/11, but not enough money everyday nor do I want to spend my money that often. Final thing I could do? Carry anime episodes in my iPod or draw.
Wait...
Were you watching Amaenaideyo!, Rizelmine or Futakoi during the first period?
...
An ecchi anime in school... Ok..
So...
You watched it in a cardboard box? 8D

Toradora!, by the way, is a great anime...

Skip Beat! as well, I just love all those evil grudge aura... XD

At most I kept up with one series throughout the entire year, most of the cases being the latest batches of Saint Seiya OVAs. Yes, they were a glorious piece of crap, you gotta try HARD to end so shitty, but I digress.
Once I heard of Casshern Sins, the live action alone would have sold me to see the original concept. Then they said it was to be directed by Shigeasu Yamauchi, who directed the cream of the crop of SS's revival and was then fired by the series' creator in a stupid hissy fit. Then I watched the first episode and the voice actor for Casshern this time around is Tohru Furuya, the one true Pegasus Seiya... and they made Casshern his spitting image (coincidence?). Down to having Kunio Tsujita as the colorist. If you thought Tsujita was SS's colorist too, you're quite right. Add to it that the classic Saint Seiya series had Takao Koyama at the helm for writing and then see that he worked on the first Casshern series and Jesus Fuck, it's all connected, I can see forever. Behold the blanket.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v226/muchalucha/blanket_huckabees.jpg) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiIQbfwJ8QY)
Either way, it's being an interesting ride so far, with some ups and downs alright, but I'd watch this stuff if only to see Furuya doing the spitting image of the character he immortalized (and viceversa). I liked the fact they gave Dio what seems to be his female doppelganger (doppelganger of a doppelganger but with big round breasts and smooth long hair. What's not to love?). When Yamauchi isn't too caught up on his chaotic direction the action scenes are awesome as well.

But boy was 7 a spectacular borefest. Christ, stop being so god damn formulaic. Some of the formula worked well ("The World is filled with Cries of Death" and "Angel of Ruin") but this one was downright trite and stupid. Next episode isn't looking so bright either. Meanwhile Braiking is yet to make an appearance ever since episode two.

I'm currently watching Mai-Otome along with all the other currently airing anime in my previous list. I'm loving all of them thus far.

Oh, don't worry, I'm actually gonna praise you for that -- Otome and the Otome subseries are loaded with action, but pack very little actual development. I personally like HiME MUCH better, since it's packed with a shitload of story development in each episode. :)
lolwut?
Finished Futakoi. I am sad that I didn't finish it soon. It was nice, well-paced anime. 8/10 Tear jerky at the end and it nearly lead me to tears. Then I watched the first episode of Futakoi Alternative.
The cute, junior high twins all became tough, ecchied-out twins that fought of monsters and the yakuza... ???
I am now done with Hajime no Ippo, and I cannot wait for the second announced season.
I have a quick question. Are there any other awesome boxing animes out there? 8D
Kick no Oni (http://myanimelist.net/anime/3870/Kick_no_Oni)
Don't know much of it though... I heard it was a good classic.
Nice, an anime from the early 70's!
*Proceeds to download*
Adding Tales of the Abyss to my watch list. I love it!
Asobotto Senki Goku!
Gaogaigar. A old friend got me into it.
Also I am watch Gundam 00 and Seed, Lupin the 3rd (both red and Pink jacket Lupin), and I watch Vandred and the sub of Shaman King from time to time.
Just watched the Raw of Hellsing Ultimate V. What a blood feast. Then again, it wasn't as awesome as the previous episodes. But oh well, the animated chapters were more of interlude anyway (despite the fact that it actually starts the attack on London). The real fun should start with VI.
Jesus Christ, I just finished watching the second season of Amaenaideyo (including the 13th episode/OVA) and god damn was it a disappointment. -_-
I'mma hit up Genshiken next and then Sekirei after that.
oh Raoh, you're so awesome<3
Yet again adding another anime to my watch list. This time it's Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, which I quit watching for a while.

One of the best scenes I've seen and heard in a long time! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=013yBTrzEhw)[/spoiler]

Agreed. Gave it a 4/10 on MyAnimeList. :P
A 4 out of 10 is still far too good for this series. I intially gave it a 2/10, but now that I think about it, it's not even worth that.
I only watched like 4 episodes. Don't beat me down yet. I am a pretty lax rater. My lowest ever are Paranoia Agent with 4/10 (Couldn't even finish it) and Rizelmine with 5/10, but I barely lasted through that. Compared to the He is My Master is not bad.
Or maybe you just take things too seriously. If you watch He Is My Master with an open mind, while not good, it's a decent comedy to waste your time on. But since most of you here have sticks way too far up who knows where, you tend to demonize whatever stuff that doesn't strike your fancy. 8D
Damn, I can't find Kick no Oni... :P

Well, I usually approach every anime I watch with an open mind, otherwise I wouldn't watch it. But still, I had serious problems with the series. It's not the ecchi stuff I had issues with (though nowadays I think animes should only have minor ecchi (and not have the entire series wrapped around it) or no ecchi althougher, as nobody likes cock-teases (though I don't recall I ever got any hard-ons from ecchi series). Make it a hentai from the start or simply stop it), but more like the entire story. Although I initially had a few laughs from watching it, the entire comedy and plot seemed to have been repeating itself over and over again in a non-funny way. Mitsuki's "contests" for example weren't funny anymore after one or two times, not to mention that I didn't get the feeling that the story or characters actually went somewhere. There was no real development.
When I was finally done with the series (I think I watched it as a whole in one day), I couldn't find any reason anymore as for why I even wanted to watch this series, it felt so completely pointless. I still want the time I spend on this series back.

And of course my weekly watches of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Casshern Sins, Toradora!, Skip Beat!, Digimon Savers, Pokemon D/P, Bakugan Battle Brawlers, Battle B-Daman Fire Spirits, reruns of Hell Girl, Code Geass Season one, Gundam 00 Season one...

My brother decided that I'm all cool and deserving and gave me an early Christmas gift...
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/da_dood/cancer_closeup.jpg)
That's Deathmask, the Saint of Cancer in Saint Seiya. Cancer as in the zodiac sign, not the disease, although he's pretty much the only character in the series who's always been pure evil.
You actually have to set the whole thing, one piece at a time, like a complex Lego model. There's even a manual. Most armor pieces are made of metal. Feels pretty heavy in the end.
Yes, Deathmask, guard the Wii!
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y168/da_dood/cancer_wii.jpg)
Saint Seiya stopped being relevant after the 12-house saga.
Still, Casshern Sins. As well as, Darker than BLACK, which is really catching my attention. Music, story and action are all fantastic so far.
Decided to finally start watching Genshiken. I'm currently midway through episode two, and the series appears to be enjoyable at least. After I run by a few more episodes I'll decide if I should finish watching it or not. :O
ever since ADV lost 80% of its catalog, Anime Network hasn't had much to speak of as of late. well last week they put up a few of their older shows that i haven't seen n a while. Nuku Nuku, This Ugly and Beautiful World, Ghosts at School. but the one show i'm most happy about is Louie the Rune Soldier. saw that show when i first got Anime Network about three years ago, and haven't seen it again until now. it's a really funny show. kinda like Slayers, except more sexually charged, and the big doofus is a magician/street brawler instead of a swordsman.
What anime came out this year?
just saw the Lucky Star OVA. not bad at all.
Tenchi Universe.
OVA is for those who want the story condensed and lotsa lulz.
Universe is for those who like it drawn out, those who savor each moment of a series, and all the little nuances of life. It's not a sitcom 24/7, y'know. I just finished watching episode....uh....9. The one with the snow, sake, and Tenchi's mom. Beautiful ep.
W00t!
I totally didn't watch any of my backlogged animes! 8D
Although, I did watch a new anime on TV, Basilisk.
It's... interesting to say the least... Ieyasu with that huge... growth...
Just finished watching episode 3 of Genshiken. While the series is pretty good, it feels a bit too slow for my tastes and has me going away from and back to it regularly, and I can't sit like I do with other series and just watch several episodes in a single sitting. But I'll do my best to finish it, as I have a shitload of other stuff laying around in my hard drives waiting to be watched. :P
Finished Gundam SEED Destiny. 8/10. Shitty ending.
Dunno what to see now.
Watch the Final Plus episode, it is better than the ending in the original... >.>;

8/10? Too high. Most I'd give it is 7, and that's being overly generous.
I got caught up on Skip Beat last night. I demand more! >_<
Skip Beat!... owo
Ahem, finally started watching my backlogged animes...
First up, Smash Hit!, an anime about the making of another anime, in this case, the making of Cosprayers (I watched this already).
Being made by the same company (M.O.E), Smash Hit! is a lot better to watch than Cosprayers, imo.
Next up, Love Love, an alternate setting of Smash Hit!.

All three are basically retellings of one another. Cosprayers is the actual series being filmed (quite crappy, but enjoyable the first time, and the first time alone); Smash Hit! is the story from the point of view of the series producer, and Love Love! is the story from the point of view of the series actresses and their relationship to the series writer and promo cameraboy.
Yeah, I got that feeling from the summaries on MAL... XD
And I agree on Cosprayers, first time only... >_>;
So, I just caught up with Casshern Sins. Need episode 12. :\
Screw you guys with your Casshern Sins. I am going to go watch it... >_<

Added to Plan To Watch like burning thunder~
I finished Makai Senki Disgaea a few weeks ago. I really liked it. I'm currently watching Grenadier interspersed with a few episodes of D. Gray-man.
Currently watching Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori, up to ep8 now.
Casshern Sins is only getting better and better...

And I'm finding it more enjoyable than the first season.
Maybe it's because of Kikuri... XD
I added Macademi Wasshoi to my watch list. Holy crap, that show is insane!
i started up Higurashi, while i finish downloading the rest of Tekkaman Blade.
also slowly going through Hokuto No Ken.

Seriously, this was a better watch than the first season.

I'm still battling with Genshiken. D: I wanna finish it up and take something else on the side, like Ippatsu Kikimusume or Doujin Work, as a refresher before I hit the rest of the series. -_-

You seriously don't know what's good for you. Genshiken is an absolutely awesome series, I don't get how you can have trouble watching it at all. Which Genshiken are we even talking about here, first season?
Yeah, first season. And I just finished it. While it was decent, it moved way too strangely and had it not been because I FORCED myself to finish watching it last night I would have probably left it on hold or dropped it altogether.
I'mma probably hit Garan No Dou and then Ippatsu Kikimusume or something later.
Well, I've finally started watching Casshern Sins.
Finally watched Kara no Kyoukai 4: Garan no Dou. I jizzed in my pants (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pXfHLUlZf4) during some parts of the movie, especially when Shiki first got to use her new Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, and when Tohko threw her the knife near the end of the movie. The scene with Shiki slashing her hair off was nothing short of legendary. "ジャマだ" indeed. :O
Full 10/10 marks from me, and waiting for the next. Fukken Nakata Jouji will probably make me [parasitic bomb] my pants in fear when he comes up next. :P
Finished He is My Master. A good anime to waste time with. 7/10
Next is Kodomo no Jikan OVA 2 followed by by what seemed interesting Gunslinger Girl.

Seriously loving all the references, and of course, the CHIBIS! XD
Fighting the Genshiken OVA right now. Haven't been able to finish the first episode due to interruptions, but getting there.
Nothing actually, just my weekly's anime.
I finished Grenadier. I'm probably being generous, but I give it an 8/10. Now, I'll probably just watch Macademi Wasshoi and then move on to something else on my "Plan to Watch" list on MyAnimeList.

The "final" battle was... something, though the true "Final" scene was a bit of a disappointment...
Next up...
Truely Strike Witches this time. XD
Completed Darker than BLACK as well as the OVA. The OVA was a bit of a let down. :\
I'm not sure what to watch next... probably start with, To Aru Majutsu no Index.
aSince I can't really find Gunslinger Girls (not looking hard enough) I opted for Disgaea. Something funny to rid of the Casshern's dark mood.
Just watched Resident Evil Degeneration. Badass Leon is badass, and Claire makes an awesome return to badassery. Plus seeing the flashbacks to RE2 made me scream in joy. The ONLY complaint I have is that Capcom can do better at animating faces; most of the faces were almost designed to show a single expression and the mouths moved as if they almost were NOT moving, which turned down the quality a notch. Still, an incredibly enjoyable movie, and the new G that showed up was pretty [tornado fang]ing scary. Overall, 9/10.
I hate it when things don't go according to plan... >.>
Skipped Strike Witches til next year (which is tomorrow 8D), so instead, finished up the 2 Kodomo no Jikan OVAs + first 3 eps of GaoGaiGar.
I seriously don't know why I didn't watch GGG til now...
I feel so ashamed... -_-
Posted on: December 31, 2008, 13:01:42
Up to ep13 of GA-GA-GA! GA-GA-GA! GAOGAIGAR!
Well, I finished both Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka and Vampire Knight Guilty so far this week. AkaSaka was pretty cliched and had some good moments, but was overall a 7/10. Vampire Knight Guilty was just as excellent as the last one. There were some slow elements, but it gets a 10/10.
Besides watching the currently airings (Casshern, Gundam 00, Toradora, and Tales of the Abyss), I'm up to Episode 6 of Macademi Wasshoi. Insane anime is insane.
Since CrunchyRoll took did a 180 on the anime videos, my anime viewing is going to slow done till I find another good site like it or it fixes itself.
While I am at it:
Inukami!
Casshern SINS
Toradora!
Naruto
Disgaea
Up to ep21 of GGG now.
HIKARI NI NARA!!!
Started on Code Geass to see what the fuzz is about. I must say, they talk fast in this anime. Lots of things are happening, but I got used to it now, and cannot wait to see how the story develops further. The protagonist strangely reminds me of the smart ass Yagami Light in Death Note.

You know, there's a reason why people summarize CODE GEASS in one sentence by saying "Gundam + DEATH NOTE".
---
Since I got the German DVD Boxset 1 some time before christmas, I started on Kaiketsu Zorro aka The Legend of Zorro. No Japanese voice acting on that edition, but it's still nice to see another series of my childhood again, plus the Opening is still as badass as ever, despite the German version only featuring the instrumental version of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yc6RPXiftM).

And watching Get Backers
I have finished up GaoGaiGar, and man, it was great...
Next up, GaoGaiGar FINAL, and then after that, GaoGaiGar FINAL Grand Glorious Gathering.
Starting Code Geass. I highly doubt my compurter will keep up with downloading till I find a good online thing.

QuoteYou know, there's a reason why people summarize CODE GEASS in one sentence by saying "Gundam + DEATH NOTE".
I just started on the anime you know. I'm sure that the reason is accurate. Death Note was in any case a great cat and mouse serie.
And I usually avoid the most popular animes until I feel like starting on them.
Decided to give Ippatsu Kikimusume a shot.
Series is NOT funny. Sub quality sucks. And it's the only one out there.
Instantly dropped.
In the meantime, started Doujin Work. Actually seems funny, and the first episode thus far has had me entirely cracked up. I hope it keeps up like this.

No. Thats why I said
starting Code Geass. I just thought it was another Death Note, but it is better, to my surprise.
Watching R2 is gonna suck unless you can find a bunch of other people to laugh at it with. Too bad.
I finished Macademi Wasshoi. Funny anime references and outlandish situations made this a win series for me. I've added Naruto: Shippuuden to my current watch list. I'm only up to episode 5, but it's just like I expected it to be.
Well, up to ep5 of GGG FINAL.
I must say, I raised a few eyebrows here and there...
Code Geass > Death Note. So far...
Don;t feel like searching, but I finished Disgaea. A comical series... 7/10
Finished GGG FINAL.
An emotional ending, that was...
Now watching GGG FINAL Grand Glorious Gathering.
I know it's a re-imagining of the original FINAL, but, then again, it's good for me to refresh a bit.
Still on G Gundam, 32 of 49 episodes seen and intend to finish it up till Sunday.
God, Allenby is so hawt >__>
Not to mention she's a tenfold more interesting and sympathetic character than Rain.

So far, the only thing I disliked about the series (other than the first view episodes being pretty generic with the Enemy-of-the-day) is Schwarz Bruder. He's the most rediculous masked man I have ever seen. Seriously, a GERMAN Ninja? Wirth that kind of hat/mask? And the name is just horrible (and incorrectly spelled. I guess people outside Germany will never learn how to properly decline German adjectives. It has to be "Schwarzer Bruder"). Though Gundam Spiegel is an interesting design, the MS and his Fighter are just odd, even for a series like G Gundam.

Finished Grand Glorious Gathering, and the ending is just as emotional as FINAL, though Taiga's very last words at the ending of Grand made it even more emotional... The whole "Go forth into the future, with all your courage"...
Also finished the GGG Blockade Numbers, not as entertaining as the original, but I did like the EI-72/73 fusion...
Next up, gonna finish up Kyou no Go no Ni TV ep13, Candy Boy ep4, the Touhou unofficial anime, and the Zero no Tsukaima 3 OVA.

Zero 3 was... well... What do you seriously expected from a fanservice episode at the beach? XD
Didn't watch the Touhou anime yet though...
Next up, Betterman.
Time to search for GGG connections...
I have finished Mobile Fighter G Gundam a few minutes ago. God, what a bombastic series. The more the series progressed, the more I fell in love with it. The cheesiness, the fights, the music, everything. Gurren Lagann who? Screw the drills when you have a burning red hand which loudly roars at you to grasp victory.

Heh, but which version do you want? Regular (http://www.gundamstoreandmore.com/ban906042.html) or Hyper Mode (http://www.gundamstoreandmore.com/ban918988.html)
You think he's broken in Gundam VS Gundam? So far, I can't really tell. Maybe I'm not used to that MS in the game yet. To me, there's only three units in that game I'd call broken: Freedom, Strike and Destiny.
As for the version, definately the regular, mainly because it's easier to get.

Oh, without a doubt he's broken in GvsG. His speed is ridiculous, and he has a plethora of moves. Also, the Wing Zero is right up there as well.
Quote from: Protoman Blues on January 11, 2009, 01:17:32 AM

Wing Zero's problem in GvG is his utter lack of accuracy. Sure, his Buster Rifles (single and combined) are powerful as usual, but what good is power for if you can't hit [parasitic bomb]? It's a good suit in the game, but definately not broken.
Anway, in order to keep a relation to the thread, I guess I'll spend some time tomorrow to get on track with Gundam X again.

Accuracy, like in every Gundam VS. game, is more a matter of skill than the Beam Rifle itself. On Ultimate Mode, I have no issue hitting things with it. Plus, the Neo Bird Mode and very good Beam Saber combos make it extremely good.
topmost tier was Master, God, and Freedom.
though the only reason freedom is even there is due to SEED Mode.
You said Wing Zero was right next to/under Freedom, right?
Ah, G Gundam. Truly great among Gundam shows.
I finished Doujin Work. A great series with laugh out loud comedy. Easily a 9/10 from me. This marks my 99th completed anime. I'm think I need to watch something truly excellent for my 100th. Any suggestions?

Anyways, watched up to ep10 of Betterman.
And I've found a few references to GaoGaiGar... XD
In other news, I finally got myself a hold of the Zero no Tsukaima Season 3 OVA and the third and final episode in the amazing miniseries Mai-Otome S.ifr, and will watch both later today, after lunch. The ZnT OVA has been promised to be nothing more than a fanservice episode filled with boobs and swimwear, and S.ifr 3... Well, I have no idea what to expect, but if it keeps being as awesome as it's been thus far, it's gonna be a smash hit. :D
Wait...
S.fir3 is out!? D:

Mobile Suit Gundam. SIEG ZEON!
Just finished now the ZnT3 OVA. Oh my lord, the fanservice was rather better than I had expected. XD Plus Louise looked pretty goddamn good in that swimsuit, the Queen looked absolutely stunning, and Kirche was breathtaking. <3
And now for a full rewatch of S.ifr, coming up next! :D
finished Macademi Wasshoi. that show doesn't handle actual plot very well. it should've just stuck to the off the wall zaniness.
i've started checking out Mahoromatic. laugh out loud funny so far, but i expect a more serious turn later on.
saw a couple parts of Pet Shop of Horrors. pretty interesting.
finally, i saw a bit of "the anime called Tsukihime." having not seen the real Tsukihime, i can't complain so far. i understand it angers fans of the original, but how would it be for a casual like me?

You won't be disappointed. By the end of the series (and I'm talking the REAL end, read: end of season 2), the anime gets a very serious, yet very emotional and heartfelt tone. It'll make you warm inside while making you remember all the fun you had watching it. :)

Horrible. It mangles MOST of the most important points of the story, and uses a half-assed mix of both of Arcueid's endings. You watch that piece of [parasitic bomb], you're missing on nearly 95% of what Tsuki has to offer.
As for me, I had an unexpected outing today, so I got delayed, but I'm going to start right about now my continuous, sequential playback of all three Mai-Otome S.ifr episodes. I'll report back when I'm done. :3

OH. MY. [tornado fang]ing.
GOD.Not only am I typing this with tears in my eyes, I have found the ONLY other 10/10-5/5 (Very High Rewatch Value) entry in my considerable list of anime, this miracle being Mai-Otome S.ifr. I just finished the series, and it was nothing short of absolutely fantastic, the stuff legends are made of. Thus far, this makes it only two entries in my entire list to have a perfect 10/10-5/5 score, the other one being Onegai Teacher.
This OVA was so good, it should be [tornado fang]ing illegal. Crystal meth doesn't even come close to it.
And now I'm too emotional to go back immediately to Doujin Work. I need to let down the steam I built up watching S.ifr. Maybe in about two days time I'll restart my normal anime-watching schedule.
Oh lord... Rena... I'm so [tornado fang]ing proud of you... ;O;
...And now that I think of it, now I'm thoroughly intrigued as to when exactly was it that she got married and gave birth to little Antsy-chan Arika. :P
LOL...
Well, I'm now up to Ep20 of Betterman.
So far, I rather like the intrigue aspect of the show...
After I finish this, I will FINALLY start on Strike Witches... >_>
Posted on: January 12, 2009, 14:03:34
Finished Betterman...
The ending... Well, not really what I expected... Overall, it's ok.
Also finished the Strike Witches OVA.
Short, and a nice start of things.
Of course with that, I'm now up to ep4 of Strike Witches.
Loving it. XD

And I must say... Ep20 made me spit out water at a lot of the scenes... XD XD XD
Just finished the first season of Code Geass. Holy [tornado fang]. I was literally left speechless. 10/10
I finally chose what will become my 100th anime: Mai-Otome. I'm three episodes in thus far and I'm loving it. Definitely different than Mai-HiME. I was watching it before, but I was wanting to take a break from this genre for a little while so it wouldn't get stale. Not that anything Mai related gets stale.
After you watch Otome, make sure to watch the other related OVAs, the prequel S.ifr and the sequel Zwei. They're as rock-hard as the main series, and just as enjoyable. In fact, S.ifr is the second entry in my entire list (which, as you know, is quite abundant in entries) to get a perfect 10/10-Very High Rewatch Value score, so you can probably take a guess as to how damn good it is. :D
Started on the second season of Code Geass. Still good I say. However, I have to put Inukami! on hold. :P
Just finished watching Umisho. Started Kanokon today.

That and it receives 10/10. One of the only anime series that has achieved that.
I'm still in queue with Doujin Work.
After that, I think I'll be hitting something short, like Moekan or something of the sort.
I'm 9 episodes into Mai-Otome. I had forgotten how much I love the Mai series. Besides that, I'm also 16 episodes into Naruto Shippuuden and 18 episodes into Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, along with all the other currently airing series on my list.
Finished Volume 2 of the Code Geass dub... why am I even watching this? I've already seen the original...
Oh well, 3 months til' Volume 3.

Also watched the first OVA of SnH.
Nagasumi is seriously Kenshiro re-incarnated. XD
Finally got my hands on Gunslinger torrents. Going to be watching that for the next week.
started rewatching Pretear. it's as good as i remember it. though i forgot a lot of little details, which my sister was surprised about. Pretear is her favorite anime.
And that concludes Tenchi Universe.
...
WAAAAAAH! ;O;
Did it have to end?! That last episode was almost so sad, Tenchi going through everyday life, then not having any kind of excitement!
Heck, I miss them! Good thing I can watch the series again and again.
Just wait; I'll have a group of friends like that, just as soon as college is over.
I might as well figure out what this Lucky Star thing everyone was talking about not that long ago is.
and i thought i waited a long time to watch LS...
I still haven't seen it yet! :P
I watched only few animes in my life *pls I have a life*, right now I'm watching, loving and having sex with Casshern Sins.

meeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhh. (especially the generic main characters, the plot genericly thickens when Pyris Drago evovles)
I'm only watching it to see how the ending will play out at 52 or 50 and how the dubbers did, as well as amusement, never really watched the origional JP one.

What is this? Someone watched something that didn't exist?
Caught up on Toradora! & Casshern SINS. I feel better now.
you know, i've been hearing a lot of crap being slung at The Anime Called Tsukihime. and frankly, it's not fair. while i'm sure the original game is better, who's to say the show isn't alright by itself? it's really giving the wrong idea to nubs like me. it's kinda how i look at Dracula XX on SNES. if Rondo of Blood didn't exist, Dracula XX could've been an alright game. i say could've, cause Castlevania 4 is superior to that game in every way, despite being made 4 years earlier.
to the point, i've seen 10 episodes of The Anime Called Tsukihime, and i think it's about time an unbiased opinion of it shows up. and i must say...
it's not that good. it never really gets anywhere quick enough. rising action was very little. the transition from establishing the setting to the climax is sudden and unfulfilling. that works for comedy, but not here. a lot of characters aren't that interesting either. i doubt my opinion will change with the two episodes remaining.
Clannad is soo.... ;__;

There you go. For a random, easy example, the fight with Nrvnqsr Chaos is reduced to Shiki mauling one or two measly dogs (I'm looking at you, Akamaru), while in the original novel he had to deal with dogs, deer, sharks, and, if memory serves, even a freaking elephant.
Plus, the Akiha and Hisui routes kick all kinds of ass nine ways through September.

I would appreciate a transscript as well. There's someone I know who's interested in Tsukihime but is too lazy to play the VN, mainly because it doesn't have any autoread.
http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Tsukihime/
Includes some funny commentary by the guy who played the game and transcripted it, as well as hilarious word and reference replacements for the sex scenes. Highly recommended read.
Screw Anime right now. It's Classic 80's cartoons for me for a while!

They finally put on the last episode of Negima!? on Youtube! Finished the series, but I don't remember most of it anymore... -u-'

Movie != series. Fundamentally different concept.
Doesn't change the fact that all seven movies form one complete story.
Well, I have finished Mai-Otome, my 100th anime. I must say that I loved this show as much as I loved Mai-HiME. Easily a 10/10 from me. I'm now watching Mai-Otome Zwei, which will be followed by Mai-Otome 0~S.ifr~. Then, I'll probably start Shakugan no Shana II.

Aight, since I've been stuck at home for the past few days with shitty internet and a cold that doesn't wanna let go, I've been on a watching spree. Finished both seasons of Black Lagoon this afternoon, and while I'm not one to regularly enjoy violent stuff like this, I have to admit I liked it quite a lot -- I especially loved how Rock ended up being more badass than anyone would have thought, and how Revy ended up going all tsundere for him. XD
After that, started Witchblade, currently on episode 3. Series seems to be good so far, and the Witchblade itself is visually very well represented.

Black Lagoon is my most favorite anime and I´m dying to see the third season. Revy aka Two Hands is the most badass woman ever.
Unfortunately, the manga series seems to have ended on November 2006, and no new content on the series has been published ever since, so it's VERY unlikely a third anime season will be released.
I need to finish Black Lagoon: 2nd Barrage sometime, speaking of which. I finished Mai-Otome Zwei tonight. Awesome series is awesome. Another perfect 10 from me. Now, I'm watching Mai-Otome 0~S.ifr~. Holy crap. :O The first episode was INTENSE! I know why the Artist formerly known as DZ gave it a 10.
See? It's the only other Perfect Score entry (10/10 - Very High Rewatch Value) besides Onegai Teacher in there. :)
As for me, finished Witchblade a few hours ago. The ending [tornado fang]'d up the entire build-up of the story.[spoiler]The main star, Amaha Masane, dies at the end -- but the entire build up during the first 23 episodes makes it look as if somehow she's going to use the Witchblade's power against itself to either get rid of it or overcome the necessity for her to die because of its power.[/spoiler]Drastically lowered score awarded to it because of this; a story with an excellent build up right until the end should NOT blow it like Witchblade did. If the ending had been different, it'd have easily been another Perfect Score.
In the meantime, if only in order to cleanse my mind of the anger and sadness at the end of Witchblade, started ToLOVEru. Haven't really even finished watching the first episode though. XD
After many weeks of faithful following, I have finally finished Yu-Gi-Oh!
That final duel sure was intense, loved it.
Now, one less weekly (or in this case daily) anime to watch...
I should be restarting Cowboy Bebop, but I haven't even worked out in 2 weeks. ;_;

Finished Code Geass. It was pretty good! The plot was well crafted, but the background could had been more detailed in my opinion. Also, I think the anime had a little bit too many characters introduced, not that my brain could not handle it, but that's just the way I think about it.
I will take a break watching another anime before I start on season 2.

Too many characters is not really a negative point, atleast not for CG, but I just thought that the plot could had still happen with a few characters missing.
Yeah, Bleach is swarming with characters too. Somehow that does not bother me. And in One Piece, well, the way One Piece works is that whenever a new gigantic arc is coming, new characters are introduced, but after the arc, you almost get to hear zero news regarding these new characters and the Straw Hat Pirates then start moving on to the next story with once again new characters. One Piece has definitely the most characters out of them all though.

I assume you mean fanservice in the way of loads of pantyshots and big boobs, am I right?
Maybe you might want to watch crap like Aika or Ikki Tousen then.

Or He is my Master. If your into the whole, lolicon, big boobed, and yaoi (or yuri. I still can't remember which is f-on-f vs. m-on-m).
Saber doesn't approve of the above, but I found it amusing.

Yaoi = Male on Male
Yuri = Female on Female

He Is My Master is the worst anime I've ever seen, it's the greatest piece of crap ever and I will kill the person who wrote the story one day in retaliation.

Episode 10 of Yume Tsukai. You can thank me later... >.<
You might as well just skip all the shitty teasing series and go for the real deal by watching actual H-animes. I personally think Ecchi makes no sense because it's only half of what you'd actually want to see. There's like so many animes out there which are based on real ero-games, but they were turned into regular romance/ecchi series for normal TV which I simply think isn't right.
Quote from: Akamaru on February 15, 2009, 12:17:01 AM
Gotta remember...
Yuri = flowers. Manly men do not like flowers. Girly girls do like flowers. Therefore yuri = girls.
Just think in stereotypes, it makes things much easier.
Also at least Itsuki makes a fabulous mountain. All sparkling and [parasitic bomb]. Yeah. I dunno why anyone else would watch Haruhi chan though.
Lucky Star! >w<

I finished Mai-Otome 0~S.ifr~. That was the most EPIC and intense OVA I have ever seen! Beautiful, just beautiful. ;O;
Now, I need to figure out what to watch next. I probably need to catch up on Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and Naruto Shippuuden episodes. Let's see how long that lasts...

Finally finished Gunslinger Girls. Dark anime, but it is good. 7/10
I will probably start the second season later today or tomorrow.
Just finished Amaenaideyo and the katsu one. Anime marathon fun is fun. 8D

Meh. It wasn't nearly as funny as it was made out to be.
In the meantime, still watching ToLOVEru. After that, I'll probably get on with Kyouran Kazoku Nikki or Kannagi (which I just downloaded yesterday).
Just watched the first episode of Great Teacher Onizuka. I went from WTF to FTW within minutes.
You haven't watched GTO yet? Jesus, man, and I thought you were with the times...
No. That series somehow escaped my vision. An award nomination on a German anime board I go to pretty much made me watch the series because I wanted to know what all the talk is about. And besides, there's a lot of stuff I still haven't seen yet. Check here (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Saber&status=6&order=0).
Ehh, DZ?
Since you are/(were?) watching ToLOVEru, thumbs up or down?
Just finished it yesterday, actually.
One thumb up out of two. Decent, but nothing outstanding. The comedy was generally good though. And the episode where Lala gets a fever was nothing short of great.
Hmm, alright, adding this to Plan to Watch then.
And awesome 999th post there. XD
Just got done with 'Death Note'. But have been watching Ghost in the Shell: SAC. Good stuff there.
I finally decided to continue Casshern Sins, which I stopped out of laziness. (At episode 2..)
Started watching Candy☆Boy. Really adorable series, though I wished the episodes were longer.
Long time I posted. Let's see...
Finished Gunslinger Girl. Awesome anime and I want Henrietta as my sister or something. Or Rico. Or Triela. Any of them. 7/10
Finished Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino-. Even better. Although many were angry at the animation difference, but I said it was better. I loved Henrietta, Rico, and Triela even more. 8/10
Going to need to find Gunslinger Girl -Il Teatrino- OVA. All about Henrietta and Rico. <3
Started Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. Hella [tornado fang]ing scary anime. Scary is that I won't see it unless its 12 at night, adding the horror and suspense. Love Satoko and Rika.
Going to start Kodomo no Jikan Second Term. Finally came out.
Watched the first Kara no Kyoukai.
Well, I'll get around to the others later.
Finished Higurashi no Naku Koro ni about a few days ago. [tornado fang]ing scary anime. A full 10/10.
WATCH IT! I TELL YOU!
Finished Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. Another 10/10 anime. Hanyuu is so cute. Hauu~
Hajime no Ippo - New challengers.
Anyone recommend a good fighting/action anime that is recent?
Started watching Super Robot Wars: Divine Wars. Why I started from 10? I couldn't find Ep 1. 8D (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9q3Sj34oZQ)
Just started The Vision of Escaflowne again.
God, I love that Anime 8)
Started watching Seto no Hanayome. Funny little romance.

Wait till you get to episode 20... 8D
Instead of finishing the series I'm already watching (Gundam X, GTO, Kaiketsu Zorro, NHK), I decided to start on yet another one. And that would be the alltime classic Record of Lodoss War OVA. And I like it thus far (started third ep right now).
Clannad is confusing me. i'm having trouble figuring out if it's a comedy or a drama. or a dramedy. it's Key's fault. they're confusing sometimes. and the art style makes some of the girls look like they have Down syndrome. it's not as bad here as it was in Air, but it's still there.
Indian Summer was [tornado fang]ing hilarious. only thing i'm disappointed about was that it was just a 3 part OVA.
None. I kind of hate anime lately.
Downloaded Candy Boy ep 6. Going to watch it later.
It's a shame there's only 7 episodes. I hope AIC decides to make a sequel or something along the lines of that.

ANYWAYS, nothing new to report on the anime front, just the weekly dosage of Basilisk, Casshern Sins, Code Geass S1, Toradora!, Skip Beat! and Gundam 00 S1.
I still buy manga. 'Really' reading something feels more better than online reading in the end~

Master of Mosquiton '99
Finished Seto about a week ago. 8/10 stars. Never saw a kids and that disappointed me.

but needz more crazy red eye Mosquiton. :P
hmmm... what to watch next...
Im probably gonna try and find the first mosquiton anime, and watch that on and off.
but other than that...
hmmm.
Any suggestions?
I have quirky tastes when it comes to anime.
as can be seen by animes Ive seen. (Eatman, Mosquiton, Saber Marionette J, to name a few...)
lol, now that i notice it, Im really into 90's anime. XD XD
also, funfact: I got into Mosquiton through a friend of mine. curiously enough, the guy who made the Mosquiton manga is the creator of SMJ, which is one of my top faves. what a small world it is, huh?

Kiss x Sis
Same here. Some parts of the episode, I wondered If it was ecchi and not hentai. :V
For unknown reasons, I'm currently in the mood for some really old animes. I'll use this weekend to finish up Record of Lodoss War OVA and will then start Super Dimensional Fortress Macross. Meanwhile, I've begun downloading Space Runaway Ideon.

Soul Eater :W
finished Mahoromatic: Something More Beautiful. what the [tornado fang] was up with that ending? i haven't been so confused in quite a while. i'm not even sure if it's bad or not. i liked what they were doing with the time skip, but then they threw it out the window.

Satoryu ,read Mahoromatic (manga) is better than the anime. ;)
i know the manga is always better than the anime. i just don't like to read manga that much.
started watching Betterman. so far, its interesting.
and Im trying to find the original OVA Master of Mosquiton, but Im having absolutely no luck finding it.
the manga much less, but Ill excuse that because it seems to be the most obscure thing ever. (even if the cover is outright shown in the anime.)
Finished with To aru majutsu no index and now searching for a new anime.
So... Casshern Sins got replaced with...
Neo Angelique Abyss.
Man, I watched that already. ;_;

Seems like it...
Will find out more when Wednesday comes...
Started D.Gray-man. just watched ep1 but I can tell you that anime and manga have a huge timeline gap.
So yeah, Neo Angelique Abyss reruns to replace Casshern Sins...
Also, with Toradora! ending showing tonight...
Next week, it's... The Melody of Oblivion.
...
I watched that already too... (Although I do get to see "Dr. Wily" again... 8D)
I've begun watching Soukyuu no Fafner - Dead Aggressor, on of these, quote on quote, "Evangelion clones". I've seen the first 3 episodes now and I must say I like it so far, although there's still a little irritation because the main character of the series, Makabe Kazuki, reminds me so freaking much of Shinn Asuka because they look so similiar (and because it's the same character designer, lots and lots of Gundam SEED dejà vus included). I really like the first opening and ending, however.
Started to watch Furi Kuri a few days ago. Weird and awesome series, but 6 episodes...? I want more! >_>
And also today, I started watching the first episode of Queen's Blade: Rurou no Senshi. SO MUCH fanservice. So far only the RAW version is available, so I'll have to wait until the subs are released to get what was actually going on.
Asu no Yoichi just finished so I was watching it. It is extremely similar to Amaenaide Yo!
Finished Betterman.
twas interesting. I wish it had more of the titular character though. he appeared like once per episode, once to fight, to save the protagonists asses, and a few "cameos" where he's just watching something happen. only in the later episodes near the climax does the series start delving more into his character a bit.
hmm. now im off to watch the first episode of Avatar. me and my Anime club teacher made a deal. I give Avatar a chance, and he'll check out Yugioh 5D's. :P
other than that, any suggestions on what anime to watch next? you guys should get an idea by now what kind of anime's I like.

Not to burst your bubble, Avatar may have the look and feel of an anime, but it's not (Because it aires on Nick and the mouth when they talk moves much faster than the anime, which is a dead givaway)

Don't be too surprised. I got an anime teacher also.
I am currently watching/marathoning Episodes 3-14 of Darker Than Black (http://myanimelist.net/anime/2025/Darker_than_BLACK) (FUNimation Entertainment Uncut, Unedited, & Uncensored English Dub).
As for what I just recently watched, Episodes 6-8 of D.Gray-Man (http://myanimelist.net/anime/1482/D.Gray-man) (FUNimation Entertainment Uncut, Unedited, & Uncensored English Dub) & Episodes 1 & 2 of Darker Than Black (http://myanimelist.net/anime/2025/Darker_than_BLACK) (FUNimation Entertainment Uncut, Unedited, & Uncensored English Dub).
I'd have to say technically Code Geass, I'm trying to catch up with the Dub (support the official release, and more good stuff comes our way).
I'm not watching any anime right now... Just cartoons.
I now have something to replace Toradora! and Casshern SINS. Hayate no Gotoku 2nd Season is now airing. Been waiting like crazy for this anime. Also, Fullmetal Alchemist, the thing that started most of my anime viewing is now airing. Alright!
Well, finally some updates from the tv network on the animes...
Wednesday - Basilisk, Neo Angelique Abyss
Thursday - Code Geass S1, The Melody of Oblivion
Friday - Monster, Gundam 00 S1 (to be replaced with Samurai Deeper Kyo)
...
...
DARN, nothing new except Basilisk... ;O;
Also started K-ON! Similar to Lucky star in many ways. Now that I think about it, I have been watching more school clubs type episodes. And more Currently Airing ones. I am going to be busy Friday... XD

K-ON! is...very wierd...I actually had to force myself through the first episode, but I'm glad now, since the ED is absolutely awesome. Once the single is out (April 22nd), the mp3 is so going on my J-culture playlist on my iPod.
Other than that, I took a look at Dragon Ball Kai and Valkyria Chronicles today. I probably will also look into Queen's Blade because people say it's such incredible trash that it's awesome again...though it will probably kill me on the inside to hear Kawasumi Ayako as the leading character in this series...and I already couldn't watch Kanokon because of that.
FFFFFFFFFFUUUU-
I forgot about the Valkyria Chronicles animation, is it good Saber? Also, nothing, NOTHING, was going to stop me from watching/rewatching FMA S2 episode 1. I love it already, but it seems a bit more humor filled than the previous series. Also, the "Fullmetal Alchemist reveal scene" was better in the last one.
Not nitpicking though. :D
EDIT - Avatar: The Last Airbender isn't anime and is godly. It's pretty much the last of the amazing Western animated series, with style cues coming from Korean animators. Get it right people. :P
Currently watching Dragon Ball Kai, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Hayate no Gotoku!! Season 2, K-ON!, Shugo Chara Doki!, and Sengoku Basara.
That reminds me, I need to update my list for Shugo Chara... >_>

Watching Eden of the East.
Very intriguing first episode. Both the OP and ED are great as well.
Watching Evangelion now (On Youtube, no less.). Currently on Ep 15, its great.
Now that I remembered I can simply Youtube it, I'll be watching Death Note. For the 3rd time, but this time in my native language :D
I gave up on Lucky Star. Now I'm not watching anything.

How many episodes did you watch? It gets a lot better after the director change.
Aside from the new shows that honestly did caught my eye this April. I'm gonna be starting an already finished one called Kurozuka. Looks pretty cool.
oh and Rewatching Detroit Metal City for like...the 3rd time 8D, or till this one group finishes translating ep.11 and 12 :/
saw the first episodes of Dragonball Kai and Valkyria Chronicles. the former is purely for nostalgia. i liked the latter, and will continue to check it out.
i want to check out Lupin vs Conan. dunno if they subbed it yet.
so finishing up Godannar then moving on to 00.. >.>
Touhou, actually. Finally, it has a good enough anime to watch.
Finished the Main Evangelion Series (God, those last 2 episodes SUCKED MAJOR ASS, Too much talking that was hard to understand (I was watching the Japanese version.)) Now I'm watching End of Evangelion, In English...
EDIT- (Mostly) Finished End of Evangelion, one of the parts was deleted. So I didn't get to watch the whole thing. The ending still didn't make a lick of Sense, hopefully the Rebuild movies help me understand the show better. :\
I just watched episode one of Queen's Blade and I feel like throwing up... so incredibly stupid...I want to scatch out my eyes out. All I want to know is, how the [tornado fang]ing HELL did they get the cast for this [parasitic bomb]? AND WHY THE [tornado fang] IS KAWASUMI AYAKO IN IT?!! She belongs in better stuff than this!

Queen's Blade is so offensively embarrassing to look at.
Only 1 or 2 characters (in the whole series) are cute and good-looking.
I think only Sub Tank likes this series (or at least the artwork).

Subtank will definately like it because there's actually a character with his favored kind of ridiculously sized boobs (http://myanimelist.net/character/20893/Cattleya).
Character designs are outright horrible. Compared to that, Word's Worth (also from that studio) looks like Record of Lodoss War. Only character that's remotely appealing would be Risty.
Airi is cute. ^^ (http://images.google.com/images?q=Queen%27s%20Blade%20Airi)
Just saw the first two episodes of Gankutsuou - The Count of Monte Cristo. Holy [parasitic bomb], this is awesome. And George Nakata as the Count...superb. This guy is creepy and awesome at the same time, just like Alucard (also a Nakata role). I am actually surprised that this is a series done by GONZO. It looks incredible. Like a graphical orgasm.
Oh, the graphical orgasm will get better later on.
what exactly were you guys expecting out of Queen's Blade? i was expecting smut, and that's exactly what i got. all it is is wank material.
it is ridiculous and shameless. but i wouldn't call it the worst thing i've ever seen. Eiken still holds that title.
though death by exploding boobies was absolutely hilarious.

Agreed, best show this season.
For the spring Season,
-Sora Kake Girl (STFU, it still counts)
-Kamen Rider DiEnd
-Sengoku Basara
-The melancholy of Lucky Star
-Asura Cryin'
-Queens Blade
-Valkyria Chronicles
Normally I just get one or 2 shows, but this time my roster is a lot larger than normal. And I still havn't checked out all the spring shows.
............Can't come up with a proper defense =/
But still, Kite's a lot more [tornado fang]ing awesome and an eviler douche bag then Tsukasa. But then again, everyone in the shows' a douche bag. Especially in the Blade world.
Yet somehow, Dickeido managed to show the world he was the biggest one.
And he doesn't look that bad without the giant heatsinks. Decade on the other hand looks like crap.

Decided to pick up Tears to Tieria. At 1st I was sketchy about it. Mainly because what I thought was the main male looked like a loser I would surely hate. But turns out it was the awesome silver haired guy that was the Demon King. But he doesn't appear till the end of the episode, so it's not really shown what his personality is like in the 1st episode.
As to the other guy He.....Turned out into the loser I thought he'd be and surely hate >.>. Already hate him due to the whole sister complex he'll most likely have, and his random yelling in the 1st episode..........Also brown. I can't stand brown clothes/outfits. (UPS RRRAAGGEE!!)
I spent most of the day marathoning through episodes 6 to 24 of Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo. I am at a loss of words. If there really is an anime out there that is worthy of the title "Masterpiece", it is this series. *___*
I've never seen a series that was this perfect on all accounts. Story, setting, characters and development, music, atmosphere...

Quote from: Superdee on March 25, 2009, 08:36:17 PM
Watch the 5th soon.
...And I finally watched it.
It took me, what? 3 weeks, lol.
Finished Kannagi earlier today. Damn, it began nothing short of FANTASTIC, but by the time it reached the end the fun had mostly died out. Pity, because the series had massive potential.
I'm currently watching Sekirei and Yume Tsukai.
Not watching anything right now. Gonna find something new to watch on youtube soon enough.
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood ( Didnt read manga and never watched FMA )
- Pandora Hearts ( Gets better in an odd way )
- Kurokami ( Didnt watch yet... Downloading ^^ )
Watched the first two episodes of Hatsukoi Limited, yesterday. I had to force myself to finish the first ep.
And started watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, mainly because I saw good reviews about it. Though I heard that the last two episodes were mind [tornado fang]...
saw an episode of The Super Milk Chan Show. it's [tornado fang]ing hilarious.
It's been awhile. Finished Code Geass Season 2 in March, and saw popular animes such as Zero no Tsukaima and Mai Hime/Otome further on as filler material for me personally, and now I am alround halfway of Mushi-Shi. Wolf's Rain will be next, as I heard interesting things about that one.
So far, I have seen the most anime in 2009 than in any other year before. I am just in the mood for wanting to see many TV series right now.
Code Geass & Family Guy (Non-Anime) DVD switch-off, yep. It was right after GI Joe: Resolute (Saw that too), but that's a diffrent story to post later in the Entertainment section.
started watching Mazinkaiser. despite it being my first Mazinger, it's pretty fun so far.
Watched Isshoni Training.
I finally found an anime worse than Queen's Blade. Words cannot describe how awful and pointless it was. Excuse me while I go gouge out my eyes.

Now that's something you don't see everyday. Is it some kind of workout anime?
from what i've read, that's exactly what it is. or rather, it's a workout video that uses anime.
That's an intresting advantage, because in Japan, anime is popular. Using anime to get the japanese to work out, that's a given, but in America, it's another workout DVD.
if they made a Final Fantasy workout video, it'd sell even quicker.
Only one problem, it will have to star either Yumi or Tifa, since they have the most fanservice out of the entire Final Fantasy cast, plus they have been in 7, the most rediculously popular Final Fantasy to date.
Tifa would be the likeliest choice.
and, Yumi?
Yuffie, stealin' yur materias~ </wii>

Now I'm going to start something new. Maybe.

Yuffie's for the cutness factor, sometimes it's okay to have a cute body over a hot one.
Should I start a Bomberman Jetterz/Bomberman B-Daman anime run? Haven't watched that in awhile.
With studies out of the way, it's time for some (REALLY) backlogged anime~
Which I will start of with Kemeko DX I think... XD
Finished Mushi-shi, it was not my cup of tea. Yeah, it's a nice calm serie with beautiful backgrounds, but the characters were generic, I didnt like the episodic way, and found it unfair to associate every strange phenomenon with Mushi beings. Then again, that is what the anime was about.
Started on Wolf's Rain now, and I am excited about it. Wonder how it will develop.
Clannad episode 9 was a tearjerker. i had to struggle to hold back manly tears.
Anime viewing is practically on hold. The most I am watching are the anime the appear once a week like Naruto, K-On!, and Fullmetal Alchemist.
Spent the entire day watching season one of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and just finished it. Very nice series, can't wait to watch A's since I heard it's even better (Signum owo )
I'm currently watching Trinity Blood, in preparation for the fact that it comes out on DVD in Poland this month(Altough, only the first few episodes, rest will come at later date).
Also, Vampire Knight comes out too. So, should I buy it, even tough it's kind of expensive?
Shakugan no Shana
Started Claymore. And I'm still watching Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and Naruto Shippuuden (Which I'll probably drop. I'm kinda surprised I made it to 100 episodes).

america views it as just another cartoon. and would probably give it bad ratings too.
Just finished Akane Iro Ni Somaru Saka. Fantastic beginning, horrible midpoint, and an ending that picks up at the very last minute. Decent watch, but not one to re-watch.
Finished NGE.
WTF happened in the last 3 episodes? 0_o Anyway, I'm probably gonna watch The End of Evangelion later on.

I just spent the entire weekend watching the first season of Code Geass on Youtube. It wasn't bad.
FINALLY started watching stuff from the harddrive...
And what better way to kick things off, then with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Movie Gurren-hen.
Well, I love the new scenes, the catfight between Adiane and Yoko (8D), and especially so the ending battle.
After that, watched the first 4 episodes of Kemeko DX (Deluxe), and man, the ecchi is like everywhere, even in the OP and ED... XD
saw the first episode of Maria Watches Over Us. dunno what to say so far. all i really got out of it was the creator's hardon for the French language and strong hints to a yuri coupling. i like the art style; how everyone except Yumi looks more mature. mostly in their faces.

Well, just finished Kemeko DX...
Ehh... Plot didn't really kick in until the final few episodes, lots of anime physics, pretty random too, and an ending that totally implies a season 2...
Still, I got a good laugh out of it. XD
Posted on: May 15, 2009, 13:39:22
Started watching Macademi WAsshoi!, and well, wow... XD
I watched Interstella 5555.
Finished Macedemi WAsshoi!... It was great for a hearty laugh. XD
Also finished Spice and Wolf II OVA, seeing Horo going all jealous like that... :3
And Seto no Hanayome's second OVA, the second part scared me a little.
Next up...
I guess Special A.
The OVA of Hellsing.
After, I'll go back and watch the original.
I wish I could get my hands on that Anime Tenchou OVA. I really do :P
Just finished Toradora! last night.
One of the best high school romance stories I've EVER seen. 10/10, 4/5 rewatchability value. Very close to a perfect score.
still checking out Queen's Blade. it feels like they're trying to increase the bps (boobs per second) each episode. in Episode 8, the most recent, Shizuka was topless practically the entire time.
also, in Episode 12 of Clannad, i have to applaud Kotomi's seiyuu. that girl let out the most amazing, blood curdling scream i have ever heard.
Started Special A, up to episode 10 now.
Well, so far, I like the story, plus having Lelouche and Mikuru is a plus... XD
I'm currently watching Black Blood Brothers. 'Tis awesome.
Not convinced. Three words. (Two if the hyphen turns two words into one.)
TELEKINETIC CURB-STOMP.
Oruchuban Ebichu
I feel so sorry for Ebichu. ;w; Getting abused and slapped by her owner all the time...
Awww, but Ebichu doesn't know any better. Ebichu tries hard to satisfy her owner. >U<
Hagane no Renkinjutsushi:Brotherhood
lol,somewhat,this new FMA series is more comical than the previous FMA :3
Cowboy Bebop for the first time, I've been on an anime roll this whole year. Also saw Infinite Ryvius, Gantz and Wolf's Rain from beginning to end.
After that, I will start on Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It seems to be one of the most epic animes out there.

Of course. The manga has more comical situations than in the first Anime, so Brotherhood is bound to be similar to that. (since it IS adapted from it)
Finished Special A.
I really love the whole story of this, simple, and effective, though can be very blockheaded at times... XD
Great watch.
Also, finished Candy Boy.
The love, the kiss... Touching.
And Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody as well.
As Kyon puts it... So cute.
Waiting for subs on 'Sushi 8 and CARDGAMES 60.
Finished the Shakugan no Shana II just 15 mins ago. Waiting for subs of Kurokami.
Started on TMoHS season II. Nice episode that made me remember why I liked the series. Also caught up to Hayate no Gotoku, so I am happy all around.
i finished Mazinkaiser. it ended too quick, i want more.
Queen's Blade never ceases to amaze me with how ridiculous it gets. not only does Ep 9 have the girl with the smallest bust (practically flat), but also the woman with the biggest chest by far. they're so ridiculously big, even Nanael and Reina went "what the [tornado fang]." she had a huge sword, too.
Watching the Ryuusei no Rockman anime.
Yeah, yeah. XD
Tried to watch the first epriode of the Rosario+Vampire anime daptation.
I couldnt go through it.. barely past the beginning. I knew it was horrible, but geez, it wasnt just bad, it was BAAAAAD. terrible adaptation.
Watched the late subs of Kurokami.
I am waiting summer for Umi Monogatari, CANAAN, Needless and To Aru Majutsu no Railgun.
I was trying to watch Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, but I can't seem to get into it...
I don't really have the patience to sit down and watch anime all the way through like I used to.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Hayate the Combat Butler!!
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei
K-ON!
Kiss x Sis
Kodomo no Jikan Second Term
Koharu Biyori
Naruto: Shippuuden
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2
The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya
Toradora SOS!
List is long and most likely, some will go On Hold.
I fully intend to but I have to watch it online and watching things on my itty-bitty laptop screen too long makes my eyes and back hurt. ^^;
i saw the new Haruhi a few days ago. raw, so i didn't know what was going on. which sucks, cause was a very wordy episode. it was nice to see older Mikuru again, but meh.

Hey, look at that, I FINALLY found english subbed episodes of the first Eat-Man anime from 97'
about the last episode of Code Geass. i didn't hate it as much as i thought i would. i still don't like it, but i dunno. maybe spoiling myself numbed me of it in more ways than one. i didn't like the shifting narration in the first half; i'm not a fan of that type of storytelling. and the "How are we know?" ending is cliche. there could've been another way to get a happy ending out of the show.
pfft. look at me. arguing about Code Geass.
i will say, though, that i felt sorry for Nunally. seeing your family die before your eyes is horrible. especially when you have to see it twice, and that second time is only a few months after regaining sight. don't know if the slave outfit was necessary, though. crippled slave lolis is someone's fetish, i guess.
Started Blood+ as my one of my friends recommended. Currently downloading first ep.
Posted on: June 07, 2009, 04:44:39 PM
Rewatched Kurokami episodes 19 and 20 since AoT released their own subs <3
I also watched first 4 episode of Blood+ pretty good and a lil bit addicting. Atleast for me.
Just finished Gurren Lagann. HOLY HELL WHAT THE [tornado fang] DID I WATCH! The finale was like sad, awesome and manly all in one. Holy hell! : /
What the [tornado fang] did you just watch?

Hey Neko. I know things that are more overrated.
Like SO DEEP EVANGELION and SO DEEP RANDUM XD FLCL.
And I hate those two... more than I ever hated anything.
i watched like 10 minutes of an episode of YuGiOh 5Ds yesterday. Yusei's VA sounded really good. but Jack sounded TERRIBLE. i already hate the guy voicing him cause his regular speaking voice is atrocious, he's all over the place in 4Kids, and for Jack, they gave him a phoneybaloney accent.
concerning the new motorcycle duels, from what i saw, they weren't that different from regular duels. they just both activated a Field card at the beginning. meh, i can pass on this one.
Anime Network picked up a bunch of stuff last week. some older shows like Lost Universe, and some newer ones like Izumo and Koi Koi 7. the latter is a textbook high school harem. from the first episode, there wasn't a damn thing unique about it.
also, Queen's Blade episode 10. were they wearing tree sap?
I'm not currently watching anything, but I've got the Full Metal Panic boxset sat on my shelf and will be watching it once all my finals are out of the way. I can't wait.
Finally managed to finish the Ryuusei no Rockman anime.
It's ok, well, I found it a tiny bit better than the original Rockman.EXE anime.
Next up, I guess Ryuusei no Rockman Tribe, and maybe Doujin Work after that.
Having acquired Victorian Romance Emma in a rather higher quality, gave the entire series (both seasons) a quick rewatch. It was as awesome as I remembered it. <3
Currently in the process of acquiring CLANNAD After Story and To Aru Majutsu no Index.
Watched Mobile Armored Riot Police aka Ghost in the Shell yesterday and just saw Super Dimension Fortress Macross - Do You Remember Love?. Awesome stuff.
Watched Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan. It was okay. Too gory for me, but it was funny. 6/10

Next, Doujin Work.
I just watched The Cat Returns. Id been meaning to watch it for a VERY long time now. and when I say long, I mean a few years.
And Im glad I did. It was very good. the animation was really smooth and fluent and the art was simple yet really cute- and the story was sweet and really well written.
And I must say; Baron is [tornado fang]ing awesome.

Well, it was created by Studio Ghibli after all. They make some of the most memorable movies of all time, IMO.
Not to mention Miyazaki had a huge roll in creating it, so it's already a guaranteed masterpiece.
My personal favorite Studio Ghibli movie is Howl's Moving Castle... But that's beside the point. >_>
Yeah. Miyazaki involvement on any level usually guarantees grade A anime.

My personal favorite is Nausicaa & the Valley of the Wind. However, I did love Howl's Moving Castle.
Spirited away I liked. My anime club proctor showed it to us. I think we watched it over 2 days.
I still remember Nausacaa. And Porco Rosso is an anthrophobic pig who can fly a plane. I remember Miyazaki's earlier works too. I think the earliest is Spirited Away.
Good OVAs. and BTW, I'm currently watching random anime in my head. :)
Hey, anyone here watched Arjuna before? how is it?
Finished Eden of the East.
My god, this show was epic! Especially the last episode.
I really look forward to the movie airing in November.
10/10
Started Fate/Stay Night. I liked the first episode and currently downloading 2nd ep.
I just finally found and watched Master of Mosquiton the Vampire. (The original 6 ep anime)
I found it good... It was really awesome... But It had one of those sad and pointless endings that I detest so much.
Although Berserk Mosquiton is pretty badass. I mean seriously. He can physically manifest his shadow into a [tornado fang]ing scythe.
And he has red bleeding eyes.
Meh. I liked Mosquiton 99 better... I hate pointless sour endings.

You might want to consider reading the visual novel instead. Explains a lot more than the anime does, plus the mishmash of the different routes is pretty screwed up and does anything but help understand what's going on.

I second that motion. If you do not mind that relatively okay animation of the anime, then I say go for it.
Ive gotten back to watching Black Blood Brothers.
I was given a box set with the first DVD for my last birthday, (eps 1-4) and Id been meaning to watch it for a while now.
i'm giving Black Lagoon a watch cause i never saw the whole thing yet, just a few episodes on one of the movie channels.
Aaaand I finished BBB. its only 12 episodes after all. Im kinda depressed that the story doesnt go on from there, theres more development that can be done. But whatever. it gets the job done. We learn that Jirou eventually has to return his blood to Kotaro once he regains Eve's memories, and we know it'll happen eventually.
I hear its actually a Light Novel. Im wondering if the novel ends the same way.

The anime had some really stunning animation in the first few episodes with lots of awesome shading and light effects, but that pretty much only lasted for the introduction arc and declined over time, until we got that awful Caster arc with hiddeous animation quality. The last arc looked somewhat better, but it never regained the quality of the beginning.

Finished K-ON!. It was an OK show. Too much random stuff of the bad category, too much moe stuff, not enough plot and one of the stupidest main characters I have ever laid eyes on, Osaka from Azumanga Daioh is Einstein compared to Yui. If there was a second season of this, I'd probably watch it, but there's no way I would ever pay money for this show.
EDIT:
Watched Aim For The Top! Gunbuster in one sitting. I can see what stuff Gurren Lagann borrowed from it. While I can see that this must have been pretty inspiring, to me, it wasn't remotely as awesome as GL, or G Gundam for that matter.

I'll give you that. The animation was the best the first few episodes. However, I can argue the animation was low point at Berserker's Arc.
I cant help myself and watch Kurokami from start to end 2 times again. I just love the ep 22.

Just finished CLANNAD ~After Story~ yesterday. For reasons that better remain unknown, I shall not speak of it again.
Now trying to decide over watching Higashi no Eden or To Aru Majutsu no Index.

Unfortunately, decided to go with Higashi no Eden merely because it's shorter. :P Index will come later.
Posted on: 2009/06/30, 18:11:30
K, finished Eden a few minutes ago.
Epic win. Takizawa is my new hero, not to mention Saki was really cute. :O
Next, To Aru Majutsu no Index.
Finished Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni and Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai. Both awesome. Moving on to Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Rei.
Mmmm let's see:
Naruto
Katekyo Hitman Reborn
Blood plus
Axis powers Hetalia
These for now
Up to Ep7 of K-ON!

Plus, I'm hungry for another bowl of rice. 8D
Posted on: July 02, 2009, 15:53:57
Well, finished with K-ON!
I really liked it, maybe I'm just soft for moe. >0<
Next up...
Maybe get Queen's Blade out of the way.
Finished watching the dub of Death Note... meh, whatever...
Canaan / 428 the animation <.< What ?
Quote from: SpeedReemix on July 06, 2009, 11:51:00 AM
Canaan / 428 the animation <.< What ?
I will watch this. Soon.
Currently going through Dragon Ball Kai...
Finished To Aru Majutsu no Index. Surprisingly good and enjoyable.
Next in line, Macademi Wasshoi, and possibly Casshern Sins after that. I still need to find wherever the [tornado fang] I recorded ef - A Tale of Memories before I can watch A Tale of Melodies though.
Well, since I couldn't sleep, I've watched and completed Akikan!
It's rather nice, seeing Lelouch acting like a total pervert... 8D
Next up, FLCL.
Yes, you heard me. FLCL.
Just watched the Eureka Seven movie.
I am SPEECHLESS as to how amazingly awesome it was. The ending was a lil' bit disappointing, but still epic.
Just finished watching all of G Gundam. God damn. I don't know what to say.

This hand of yours is burning red? It's load roar tells you to buy the DVDs? 8D
God, too many animes in so little time. For now, I am keeping up with Naruto, Hayate no Gotoku, and Fullmetal Alchemist, but I am slowing down for K-On!, Asu no Yoichi!, and The Melancholy of Haruhi series.
New animes I am going to try to keep up:
Kanamemo
Spice and Wolf II (Hell yes! My love has returned!)
Oh, Spice and Wolf 2 has started? Hmm...
I've finished FLCL, and... Wow... That was very interesting... XD
The fights were great, and guitars... Always the guitars. 8D
Also done with the Unofficial Touhou anime...
Wish Ep2 would be done...
Next up, might start my weekly watch of Hayate no Gotoku S2, plus Queen's Blade.

It does. I'm considering either starting all the way back to MS Gundam now or rewatch Gundam Wing since its been so long.
Finally got around to starting CANAAN.
Hey, I decided to ask here.
So I've found some episodes of GaoGaiGar. And my question is... should I watch it? I mean, I saw a clip on youtube of a robot who performed a guitar riff using a bridge. But that just doesn't buy me yet. Your opinion, /rpm/? What can I expect from this show?
It's pretty much the epitome of yelling and willpower. You know, the stuff /m/ loves.
Since I got the DVDs earlier this week, I started watching Full Metal Panic!. And to be honest, I'm kind of dumbstruck by it.

first bit of the show is pretty dull monster of the week, then the plot shows up and awesome [parasitic bomb] happens.
finished Black Lagoon. it was a hell of a roller coaster ride with a lot of action. but it's also that roller coaster metaphor that hurts somewhat. at first, everything just keeps getting better. its hits a high point with Roberta, and the Hansel and Gretel arc was by far the hilight of the show. but everything after that started to dip, until it ends with a Yakuza story. call me crazy, but i don't find the Yakuza all that interesting. Yukio, especially. i thought she was pretty lame through and through. Ginji was a little more interesting. perhaps they shouldn't have started Second Barrage with Hansel and Gretel; should've ended on a high note.
overall, it was a fun watch. the action was always top notch, and the characters are lovable despite how [tornado fang]'d up they are.
i'm looking forward to season three.
in the meantime, i have to look around for something. maybe rewatch Godannar and/or Pani Poni Dash.
What's a good anime with good action but with romance at the same time?
@The Only: Casshern Sins (it actually have romance you know), Vampire Knight and VK Guilty, Shakugan no Shana and SnS 2, Kurokami (watch this first seriously) and Claymore. This is all I can recommend.
Started watching Umi Monogatari ~あなたがいてくれたこと~ 「Anata ga Itekurata Koto」
Thanks, gives me something to do when I have my days off.

It came close in 08th MS Team!
When it comes to romance in Gundam, G Gundam in my opinion had the best overall development, because it was there from start to finish.
I thought 08th MS Team had the best romance story in all of Gundam.

Nah, the Shiro / Aina thing wasn't really that developed. The whole infatuation was far too quick and shallow. They met like twice and spent a few hours together and then they're suddenly in love and all. Meanwhile, Domon and Rain were working together all the time in G Gundam, but they had their problems that needed to be solved, trusts broken and regained and all and realizing at the end what the other meant for them.
it's a staple of super robot shows~

I disagree. I saw it more as a chance scenario that blossomed into love. These were two soldiers who thought the other side were enemies & evil, but through working together to save each other's lives, something unexpected happened. It didn't just happen overnight, cause both of them were still focused on their own side of the war, but Shiro still thought about her even despite knowing that the chances of seeing her again were slim to none, especially considering that she was a Zeon soldier. Through twist of fate, they did meet again, and then realized they had feelings for one another, but even so they had to part once again. All it took was that second encounter to make Shiro question his involvement in the Federation, and made him realize how much he cared for Aina. When you meet the right person, a lot of times all it takes is 1 or 2 meetings. It's similar to Romeo & Juliet.
To me, the story of Shiro and Aina is the truest telling of a romance story, that being one of chance. That's what love & finding the right person really is all about. It's about chance encounters. I honestly thought Domon & Rain would wind up together from the very beginning of G Gundam. But with Shiro & Aina, going into the series blind, I didn't know. One could've wound up killing the other, or one could've died saving the other, or they both could've been killed.
could be worse.. they could've ended up like Bernie and Chris >>

Yeah, 08th MS Team ended up being one of my fave Gundam series, because I thought this romance was told quite well, along with a number of other things I thought were done well.
Hopefully, one day, I'll once again see another Gundam series that does for me like 08th did. For right now though, the Gundam fan in me has been largely asleep since mid-way through SEED, and beyond Gundam vs. Gundam and various SRW appearances, has little reason to wake up. 8D

And isn't Gundam Unicorn coming out this winter for you, Ben? XD
I'll admit, Unicorn does interest me. Especially right on the rebound of that "other announcement" from earlier this year, which resulted in a PS3 game... 8D
But we'll see if it has what it takes to keep me hooked, beyond the obvious "Red Comet" connection that may exist.
If nothing else, I hope a nice Gundam vs. Gundam game comes from it. The suit designs I like. Katoki does it again! 0v0
LoL, I'm interested in what they do with Mineva Zabi.

Canaan ep.2, Bakemonogatari ep.2, Umi Monogatari ep.3 and [spoiler]Ai Shimai ep.1-3[/spoiler]. First 3 are still downloading and other one is downloaded but its impossible for me to watch now. Since my parents are at home (THIS.IS.[spoiler]HENTAI[/spoiler]).

i'd say to watch the entirety of UC in timeline order, but then i remembered you have to sit through a horrid OVA before you hit Zeta, and then you might wind up watching the shitty Zeta movie compilation.. >>
Ep 02 of Bakemonogatari was priceless. Animation style, music style and storytelling is just magnicifient.
Started watching Hayate no Gotoku!! 2nd Season (I know it's still airing...), first 5 eps in.
I totally wasn't expecting this season to be half the size of the previous season... I guess they are running out of stuff to animate.
So far, so good.

Lawl triple post.
Caught up to ep15 of HnG!!, thus becoming a weekly watch.
Also finished the Eureka 7 movie.
Opinions on said movie?
I posted them in the Eureka movie thread. XD
I'm going back through Neon Genesis Evangelion. I didn't catch enough of it for any of it to make sense during its Adult Swim run and I missed the final two eps which is where [parasitic bomb] goes crazy. Again, because of psptube being my only medium, I'm getting the unique experience of getting to watch both Dub and Subs at once. *shrugs* As long as I get everything thats important.
Edit: Just got done watcing End of Evangelion. Jesus holy [tornado fang] almighty, what a headtrip. I've gotta go detox after that.

I wouldn't like it if these shows turn out to be great but I can't finish them due to crappy current laptop related issues.
Edit: Thanks Gundamheads above, now I wanna re-watch 08th MS Team as well. XD

Watching Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae instead, up to ep12 now.
Well, pretty much same stuff as the previous 2 seasons... For now...
Shin Mazinger 16,
New OP is awesome, they brought back the Kedora, used it to possess mazinger, hilarious debut of the boss borot, sudden cameo of Mao Dante, and dramatic introduction of ye olde Duke Gorgon~
Up to ep22 of Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae.
Well, I actually prefer this season to the previous 2.
K-ON! episode 12 :3
K-ON! :3
Finished Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae.
The overall plot... Definitely better than the previous 2 seasons.
Next up, either Toaru Majutsu no Index + Index-tan, or Queen's Blade (I KNOW I keep saying that...).
Index. Index is <3, and Biribiri is all tsundere for Touma. :P
Gurren Lagann up to ep.8, love the over the top fight scenes and Yoko
Code Geass Ep. 8
just watched lupin vs conan.
not enough focus on the lupin team~
Before I start catching up in Shangri-La (I love Momoko, I'd tap that transvestite), i'll watch the Clayface episode of Batman The Animated Series. Wonderfully animated and it's animated by the Japanese, a good source of argument/debate making right there aside from the existance of Cybersix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z22seoMxgpI).
it's not anime, though.

i'll probably watch segments of Rock n' Rule for now
Alright, so Toaru Majutsu no Index gets the green light, up to ep9 now.
Really liking the story so far, let's see how it goes...
Posted on: July 27, 2009, 21:29:21
Up to ep18 now.
It was cute to see Biribiri acting like a kitten, and of course...
Shana-tan~ Moe~ 8D
Sora Wo Kakeru Shoujo,
good stuff dood~
worth buying the DVD dood~
got a free OST dood~
Leapord is funny yet a freaking idiot,dood~
Still need to watch that... I guess I should switch to II-Subs...
Oh and Meteor, you used an Index sig before right?
That Nasi Goreng sub... Is it in the Index-tan series?
Yup it is,dood~ 8)
Toaru Majutsu no Index-tan Ep1,dood~
(http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t91/meteorweapon/vlcsnap-4094195.png)
Alright thanks!
Can't wait to watch it tomorrow. >0<
Watched ep.17 of Valkyria Chronicles.
Isara... D:
Finished Macademi Wasshoi.
I want my time back. At most it had some scarce moments where it displayed decent comedy. The rest of the time it was basically overbearing trash.
Gonna start Casshern SINS now.
Finished Toaru Majutsu no Index.
With that ending, I really hope there's a season 2.
Also finished the 2 eps of Index-tan.
Besides the Nasi Goreng (Which is so awesome XD), I loved how it makes jabs at Shana-tan (same publisher, same studio logic XD) and Jigoku Shoujo (Ahh Himegami... Would you like to die just once? 8D).
Next up, (FINALLY) Queen's Blade.

There's no season 2 right now. But the story and adventures of Biri Biri
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
I know that, added that to my Plan to Watch list already.

(FINALLY) Watching Queen's Blade, up to ep8 now.
And it's just as I expected. Boobs. Everywhere...
Well, at least the fights scenes look nice...
Finished Casshern Sins a few minutes ago. Series was pretty decent, but one thing left me unconvinced. Leda and Dio spend half the series since they show up shagging each other left and right, and Lyuze and Casshern don't even get a mere onscreen cheek smooching? Jesus, LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME.
LOL. XD
Anyways, finished Queen's Blade.
Well... One word. Cattleya. -_-
And the OVA... What the hell. XD
Also, Hayate no Gotoku 2nd Season ep17 made me cry a bit... O^O
Gurren lagann, awsome mech battles although I somtimes have to force myself into watching instead of doing somthing stupid.
also started rewatching Dragon ball Z, I now realize that gohan couldve [tornado fang]ing killed cell in two minutes instead of walking around and slowly killing the cell jr.s.
Since I have nothing to watch at the moment (in my possession, I mean), decided to go raid Lolipower for anything that caught my interest. Turns out they have K-ON, so that's next on my queue. I'm also getting Queen's Blade, so whichever finishes first I'll watch first. I also need to check what other stuff the site has that I may enjoy to put it on the download queue.
I just finished ZZ Gundam. Great series. I highly enjoyed it. As of now, Judau Ashta is my favorite Gundam pilot.
Decided to start Queen's Blade. Mildly amusing, more so by the fact that it's only missing intercourse to be actual porn. XD
Wait till you meet Cattleya. XD
And I decided to start To LOVE-Ru next.

My respect for you dropped massively. Judau is punk, totally irresponsible and lacks in piloting skills. Sure, he's a strong Newtype, but to think this guy beat Haman while neither Kamille nor Char could even touch her is preposterous.

LoL, he's a 14 year old kid so irresponsibility is pretty much standard. He doesn't just magically become a good pilot like Kamille, but became better as he went along. Also, he grows throughout the series, in terms of responsibility as well as becoming more of a man, much better than both Kamille & Amuro did, but he still maintains his uplifting personality & confidence. Char couldn't touch Haman cause he had a much weaker Mobile Suit at the time, and Kamille came close when he did fight her due to his newtype abilities, but also he never really got a rematch due to going insane.
sure judaus a strong newtype, but he can't control it.

Armitage III. I saw this years ago. Decided to rewatch it. 4 ep OVA series plus two movies. [parasitic bomb] is cash.
Finished Grave of the Fireflies.
Oh man, this movie was more depressing than i thought. The dialog, sound, backgrounds (etc.) are all fantastic. Worthy of being called a true masterpiece.
Just finished Queen's Blade a few hours ago. Cattleya was lulz. As much as this series was suck, can't wait to see the second seasons for more sucky lulz. Not to mention Aya Hirano as Nanael provided awesome comedic value. :P
Gonna start K-ON soon. :D

Finished To-LOVE-Ru.
Well, generally, this was a pretty ecchi, fanservice anime.
Story-wise... Alien in human world hijinx.
Next up, gonna give Gundam 00 Season 2 a proper watch again.
Rosario+Vampire ep. 8
FMA:Brotherhood ep 17 and 18
I was like at OMGKILLHIM after ep 17
after watching ep 18 I was like "Oops"
Finished Gundam 00 Second Season.
Personally, I found this season a lot better then the first season. Then again, it could be due to establishing the basic framework in season 1, while in season 2, with everything established, wham bam action all round. Also, <3 Ribbons/Reborns Gundam.
Next up...
... Maybe Sengoku Basara when free time permits.
I'm watching Animal Crossing Movie. :3
(Ab)used my dad's relatively new flatscreen TV in combination with my notebook and my dad's HDMI cable to catch up on some anime:

That makes everything so much better now.

Bi girls would like a word with you.
I'm almost finished watching K-ON too, it's really cute >w<
finished the first portion of Clannad, except for the Tomoya/Tomoyo OVA. i'm still surprised that i liked the show and stuck with it. i'm usually not one for sweet things like this. and i'm not a fan of Key, either. but yeah, i liked it.
almost done with Princess Resurrection, which has quickly become one of my favorite shows. just saw the Flandre Goes Bananas episode. it was priceless.
i'm also working on Gun Frontier and Super Gals, just saw the first episode of Daphne, and downloaded the King of Fighters OVA.
finished New Gaiking.

someone should have warned me about this. cause this sucked hard. shame on me for being curious, eh?
Hentai.

It's just Canaan.

What's your take on it? Personally, I thought the series was pretty good, but the ending sucked all kinds of ass.
Progressing in Valkyria Chronicles.

Rewatching Zero no Tsukaima: Princess no Rondo OVA. On TV. D:
Finished watching Devil May Cry and re-watching Code Geass (Well, the dub anyway).
Quote from: Prince Harming on August 13, 2009, 05:15:30 PM
Finished Code Geass (Well, the dub anyway).
How was it? was it whiny as expected? 8D
Forgot to mention I started Zettai Karen Children a few days ago. Only five episodes in so far, but pretty lulzy. Might be a good watch.
Gonna start Darker than Black ^^. I hope its good enough.
CANAAN Episode 4.
Watched Hayate no Gotoku season 2 ep19.
Loved the Yu-Gi-Oh! dueling moment. XD
And Queen's Blade OVA 2.

Erementar Gerad
Ren is so cute :3
aw, the alternate end to Clannad was sweet. that one episode carried a lot of emotion in it, almost as much as the entire show.
also saw the last episode of Princess Resurrection. could have done without it, honestly. it would've been better if that occured before the end and before the plot reared its ugly head. Flandre Goes Banana Sandwich would've been a better ending point.
and now that i've seen the beginning of Revolutionary Girl Utena, it's not so mindfuck anymore. it still is out there, though, what with all the gender confusion and "epic" songs.
I actually just finished watching Code Geass and Code Geass R2. Holy hell these series were amazing. The ending of R2 was so sad though! ;^;
Prior to this series though I had watched both seasons of Gundam 00. Now I need to find something new to watch.
I want to say Soul Eater, but I'm afraid of some of the things I've heard about the latter bit of the show. It apparently suffers from the same thing the first run of FMA did with not matching up with the manga & BSing an ending.
Anyone want to chime in on this?
Quote from: Jericho on August 15, 2009, 07:06:40 AM
not matching up with the manga & BSing an ending.

Watched Darker than Black Ep 1-2 and Kara no Kyoukai 1 was awasome gonna watch 2 and 3 now!
Posted on: August 16, 2009, 03:02:25 PM
Just watched Darker than Black ep 10 it was good
and Kara no Kyoukai 1 and 2 were awasome too. I'm going to finish Darker than Black tomorrow I think.
Just finished the first disc of Black Lagoon. Good Lord, [parasitic bomb]'s awesome *o*
Zero no Tsukaima owo
Finished the first season/set of Black Lagoon. God, this stuff is awesome. I've never seen that much swearing and cursing in an anime before. Gonna start Second Barrage tomorrow.
It's awesome until you get near the end of season 2. They replaced all the scenes with boats flying into helicopters with talking.
Revy still rocks though.

Finished Darker than Black. It was just AMAZING.

oh yes indeedy on anime not based on manga~
Watched all of Black Lagoon: The Second Barrage in one sitting right after I came home from work. Damn, I want more (even though the ending leaves a wierd taste in my mouth).
Digimon X Evolution
I didn't know that was some K-ON! Specials...
Watched the first one.
Ho.....................ge.....................
Also got to watching Sengoku Basara, up to ep8 now.
The duels are just amazing, wonderfully done.
Also, a Gundam, under Tokugawa Ieyasu? With lauching sequence to boot? Pure win. XD
I finshed (and watched) all of Endless Eight :)
I've watched a few things that Funi put up on Gaia, none of them were really any good...
Watched Zero no Tsukaima -Princess no Rondo- ( Tiffania 0v0 o//////o)
Watching Hayate no Gotoku season 2 ep18.
Finished Sengoku Basara.
Excellent show, with over the top duels that are well made.
And Oda Nobunaga... <3
Also... YUKIMURA! MY LORD! YUKIMURA! MY LORD! [/slow]
Next up...
I have no idea...
Posted on: August 22, 2009, 16:29:33
Well, just finished watching Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, dubbed, on the TV.
It was a great watch, even if I never played the FF series, yet I know the characters... XD
Negima! >w<
I've watched too much anime in a short amount of time. It really does hurt trying to make yourself see what happens next.
What I finished so far:
Rewatched both seasons of Code Geass. Still kicks ass, as I remembered.
All 3 seasons of Magical Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. It is oddly a darker anime than most magical girl ones and I am not ashamed to admit that is brought some tears in the end; especially in StrikerS.
Also started watching Kanamemo. Good, relaxing anime; so much ecchi...
Finally, I am going to start watching CANAAN. Just need to find your better-than-average downloads.
- Needless (a wannabe TTGL)
- CANAAN
- Legend of Galactic Heroes
- Toaru Majutsu no Index
What i watched during this week.
Kemeko Deluxe, lol
Tengen Toppa...GUREN LAGGAN!!
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!!!?"
lol,now i know why TTGL was ehpic.
now gonna draw/design somthing more powerful than TTGL O:<
But creating such a thing will break the very space-time we exist in!

hi there.
Re-watched Claymore last week. No second season...yet. So I'll start reading the manga and see if there anything new there.
Just watched Aachi&Ssipak. Very entertaining, yet weird (drug popsicles + ass ID rings + mutants + crap = teh movie) and lots of gun fights.
Also finished watching Casshern sins. The movie of Casshern sins and the series like night and day :P
Loved 'em both the series and teh movie though.
because I didnt feel like makinga new topic about it,

Hmm, needs a bigger resolution for true lulz. XD
Posted on: September 08, 2009, 01:08:19
Watched the first 3 To-LOVE-Ru OVAs.
Besides being as ecchi as the main series, genderbending of Rito was great. XD
And it ended with a montage of bikinis in ep3. Expected. >0<
Same for Queen's Blade OVA 3. >0<
Finished Zettai Karen Children yesterday.
Decent series, but not one I'm touching with a 10-feet pole ever again for the rest of my life.

Demon Detective Nōgami Neuro.
i didnt feel like reading the manga at the moment, so ive taken up the anime instead. Ill read the manga later.
Some random bleach episode, *yaaaaaaaaay, 200 posts, love me all LOVE ME*
Only 10472 more until you reach PB status and both crash the forum!
Finished MariaHolic a few days ago. [parasitic bomb]'s epic. I was LOLing the entire time.
Decided to watch Macross Frontier afterward (currently about to start episode 12), and Hyakko after that.
Watching Cowboy Bebop, currently watched 16 of 26 episodes.
I should probably go and watch Cowboy Bebop from start to finish one day.
Tis my favorite anime.
I just watched the 95 Ghost in the Shell movie.
Was pretty cool. I like it. The art is incredible. so many gradients and shades, whereas many of Today's animes cant compare.

You should rather watch the Innocence movie if you like the original film, since Stand Alone Complex has nothing to do with the GitS movie, completely different continuity IIRC.
I like both the movies & SAC. Saber's right though. The movies & SAC series are two different continuities.

What was Stand Alone Complex again, a timeline where the puppetmaster incident never happened?
I know that much. Ive read up on it on Wikipedia. they're both different continuities. But GitS is GitS. And it is awesome. I also have Innocence DL'd. Im gonna watch it too.
I was actually surprised the intro song and ending song were not japanese (SAC) but one English (ending) and the other... German?(not sure.)
Quote from: Saber on September 22, 2009, 08:39:44 PM

Well, in Solid State Society, they bring in someone named the Puppetmaster, but it's not the same thing, so yeah I'd assume so.

Yes, Inner Universe. The song I instantly MP3 Player'd.
Awesome song it is.
The CG intro is nice too. A CG series would probably be interesting.
BTW, there's supposed to be a live action film being made by Spielberg for 2011
Honestly, all of SAC has [tornado fang]ing fantastic music, once again proving that Yoko Kanno can do NO wrong when it comes to Anime soundtracks.
Indeed. the in show soundtrack never fails either.
Finished Kodomo no Jikan Second Term.
Lolis will be lolis. XD
Also, finished Hayate no Gotoku Second Season.
The last ep, with Miku dancing to Caramelldansen, and blatant uncensored references to Gundam 00... Just perfect. XD
Plus, K-ON!'s Ura-On! ep2.
Finished Stand alone complex, and am probably going to either watch Innocence, or 2nd Gig.
I really liked how they used the scene from the end of the first movie.

Yep. Origa.
She did this too! I love this song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smhh1n3VEp8&feature=related)
In any case, 2nd gig just isnt the same as the first SAC. Dunno, but they started right off the bat with the main storyline, and only have a few "breaks" so to speak. I like the one with that little shop. With the bodies of the cyborg boy and girl. I see that was Motoko eh? Explains how she came across the shop in the first place.
Tachikomas are still adorable, weird face guy is ugly, and Togusa continues to rock his retro hairdoo. srsly, its so 90's.

That's one of my favorite episodes in any anime, ever.
I thought it was really moving. Sad, but- In a good way. Its touching, really. Truly a good episode.
Though I really like the one with the Tachikomas and their creator. That ending was really touching, with the Tachikoma looking at the guy like a real kid would look at his long lost father.

She's really good, that's for sure.
Finished Azumanga Daoih and Nurse Witch Komugi chan

I'll probably use part of my September paycheck to get these DVDs. Meant to watch this series for over a year now, and the sequel is coming up soon.

Continued watching Planetes, watched up to 17. This is really a good series. Yet another case of a lucky draw this year.
I'm seriously thinking what is happening in the minds of the creators of the Queen's Blade OVAs.
Then again, it IS Queen's Blade. XD
So yeah, OVA ep4 watched. Warning of long slimey things. :P
Also, starting watching the newest set of Negima OVAs.
Mouhitotsu no Sekai, only one ep released so far, continuing from where Shiroki Tsubasa Ala Alba left off.
Brilliant stuff.

As of now, do you think season 2 will be as "good" as season 1?
Going by the bpm (boobs per minute), it'll be at least as "good", most likely "better." But then again, season one had Death by Exploding Titties in the very first episode, so that's going to be hard to top.
Ah, this should prove interesting... XD
Will get it batched. XD
Caught the raw of ep2. I thought I'd seen enough shameless acts in Queen's Blade. But this even shocked me at how ridiculous it was.
Finished watching PLANETES yesterday. It was awesome. More people should watch that.
Slayers Evolution-R ep. 8 ^^
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun! even more sugoi then TAMNI <3
Saki ^^
So, am I the only one that will be watching Tegami Bachi?
finished shin mazinger~
HOKUTO! HYAKURETSU ROKKETTO PANCHI!
Finally got my DVDs from Amazon and thus at last started watching DARKER THAN BLACK. Just finished the first of 6 volumes.
Asu no yoichi
Kobato, To Aru Kagaku no Railgun, Shugo Chara Party!, etc.
Plan on watching Darker than Black 2, and possibly Nyan Koi and The Sacred Blacksmith.
Watching Darker than BLACK - Ryuusei no Gemini (sequel)
And i might start watching Railgun once i finally finish Toaru Majustu no Index.
Darker than Black 2 Ryuusei no Gemini and To aru kagaku no Rairugun.
Finished Darker than BLACK: Kuro no Keiyakusha. It was a good series, but definately not perfect. Chinese Electric Batman FTW anyway.
Currently downloading the first episode of the sequel, Ryusei no Gemini.
starting macross frontier, then I just need to see macross zero afterwards and I'll be finished that franchise for a short while... >>
I'll be restarting Gintama soon, who else watches it?
Finally got to watching the entire thing of End of Evangelion. Great ending. Now I want to own a hard copy to watch it in English.

[tornado fang]ing pineapples.
also, what the hell is with them never showing any love for Try Again? it's only on one of the macross 7 cd's |:
I got a lot on my plate right now. Revolutionary Girl Utena, Daphne in the Brilliant Blue, You're Under Arrest, Alice Academy, He is my Master, Clannad After Story, Orphen, and others I might be forgetting about.
I was watching Demon Lord Dante for a while, but got bored with it, and I couldn't stand the crappy dub anymore.
and finished frontier.
not too great, but better than the other [parasitic bomb] released at that time.

You too huh? Well, I was already planning to add this one to the list. One Piece as well.
So far, I like it. i can see it being huge over here in the States.
I hope it will be atleast as good as the manga....It looks promising
Fairy tail anime? why wasnt I imformed until now?
Im also watching Fate/stay night.
Im watching The Devil Lady/Devilman Lady
Its odd.
best way i can describe what it seems like to me, is an odd mix between the 90's-ness of Nightwalker, (along with the monster of the day formula and the side bit about the girl with parents killed by monsters) Betterman, with its shpiel of a higher evolution of beings, and Claymore, what with its thing of claymores "awakening" if they go over their limits, becoming flesh eating monsters. Yeah- that would be the best way to describe it.
EDIT: Well, I finished it. and while the whole series is seriously depressing, at least the end is somewhat nice.
T'was good, all in all. I seriously lol'd at Akira Fudo's cameo appearance though.
(Another of the mangakas creations, Devilman, from another manga. The inspiration for Devilman Lady)
He's little more than "just another character" but its a fun Cameo. He even appears in his Devilman form at one point.
Finished Index, now onto Railgun.

Hmm. I see.. Im proably gonna pick up one of the Devilman Mangas some time.
I was actually somewhat hoping for maybe a brief teamup of Devilman and Devil Lady, but I guess it wasnt gonna happen, with Akira being little more than a cameo appearance with no relevance. he was even under a different name. (still wonder why. It made no difference really) Was fun seeing him suddenly go Devilman on those guys near the end though.
just finished rewatching Evangelion, and may do so again since my brother wasn't happy w/ me rewatching it w/out him XD.
Now I must catch up to where he is to Sarah Chronicles XD. Anyways, i'm gonna finish up Valkyria Chronicles and Phantom~
Excel Saga 8D
Gave 2x2 Eyes a shot. eh, pretty okay by my standards, I liked the Cult Fight tho, the demon there was well designed... Then again, I only have Vol 1+2.
Kimi ni Todoke.
Finished the two Ninja Turtles OVAs. Really odd, but I do like the fairy designs~
Melocholy of Haruhi Suizimaya..... -u-' beacause my Brother Makes me.....
going to rewatch evangelion throughout november at school.
Finally got around to start watching NANA.
God [tornado fang]ing damn, this is so freaking awesome. I already had this feeling after the first episode that this series is gonna sky-rocket up into my charts.
Started watching Kampfer. It's awesome.
Quote from: Sato on November 03, 2009, 04:42:40 PM

Fixed.
Contrary to popular opinion of English speaking folks, there IS a difference between an a and an ä.
In case of Kämpfer, you spell the first part like "Camp".
I'm aware that there's supposed to be an umlaut. I'm just too lazy to put it in. Just like how I never properly accent Pokemon.
Bleach. lol with Bleach its like I'm watching 5 animes at once :p.
Ive started Re-Watching Di-Gi-Charat.
It crcked me up the first time, and this times no different. XD
So I want to pick up Witchblade, but all the torrents I find are the censored version, with apparently some problems with the subs.
Anyone got some help on the matter?

Hey, Guy Natsuru isn't bad looking. So Girl Natsuru's attractiveness shouldn't be so surprising.
Attractive Male - [ray splasher] + Boobs = Attractive Female. It's first grade arithmetic.
Darker than Black - Ryuusei no Gemini, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Kobato., Seiken no Blacksmith, Toaru Kagaku Railgun, and just started Needless, 7 episodes in.
And now that I got all the Kimi ni Todoke episodes, starting that.
I was supposed to start two more, but a friend of mine told me to hold off until Winter Season, because I'll barely be watching anything then.

The Clymore manga? You should. While the Anime stuck to the storyline untill the end of the series where it deviated to make its own ending, The manga is still ongoing.(and might be reaching its climax)
Despite Watching Evangelion 1.0 Last Night, I'm still continuing watching the original show to look at differences. Can't wait till 2.0 Releases on DVD, whenever that'll be. ::)
i rewatched Super Bestial Machine God Dancouga while i was away. >>
I'm continuing CANAAN.
Saw some of Kekkou Kamen. It was [tornado fang]ing ridiculous and hilarious. It reminds me why early 90's hentai is so superior to what we get nowadays.
Hey so, I would like to watch sum classic GUNDAMS.
I saw that guy with a mask, Char is his name I think, and I'm interested in the series he's from.
The question is, is that series good? Is it very long?
IS IT VERY CHEESY? Because I can't stand stuff that's too cheesy. Typical talk about "Friendship and unity" I can stand, but... it too has its limits.
So, opinions?
Gonna get back on Naruto, stopped around the end of the Chunin Exams in season 1

Hey so, I would like to watch sum classic GUNDAMS.
I saw that guy with a mask, Char is his name I think, and I'm interested in the series he's from.
The question is, is that series good? Is it very long?

good? yes, long? 40+ episodes, cheesy? only in the quality animation department.
you could take the cheap way out and just watch the movies instead..

Ohkay. I will trust your word.
brb, looking for episodes
Besides watching Evangelion 2.0 at a local cinema, I got to watch Shakugan no Shana S 01, Shantan's Revenge and Shantan G 01.
Mind-swap is always fun, and chibis. Can't go wrong with chibis.
Since tomorrow the first box of CODE GEASS - Lelouch of the Rebellion comes out here in Germany (which I've ordered despite already having the complete American set), I guess I will rewatch that. I have also started on watching the Original Dragon Ball.
I don't like where the second arc of Revolutionary Girl Utena is going. This Black Rose deal sounds too trope. Though the episode where Nanami turns into a cow was hilarious.
Also watching the second half of Super Gals. i.e, the half that wasn't dubbed. I miss the dub already, although Second Place sounds way better in Japanese. Mami sounds kinda dumb in both versions.
I have a lot more on my watch list, but I can't think of it right now.

Wha the Fu-
They changed the cover! I LIKED THE OLD ONE BETTER! I sure [tornado fang]ing hope they use that previous one (With C.C. and Luluser) at later time... THEY BETTER DO!
(Before you ask, Anime Virtual also has a Polish branch. If it has Polish subtitles... it will come out here in my shithole of a country too.)

Its the first season boxset, so I don't think they'll use the first R2 one until they release R2 there.

Yes, the German version does have Polish subtitles.
But technically, "Anime-Virtual" does now no longer exist. They got swallowed up by the French branch, Kaze. Therefore, the AV logo is no longer on the cover of the Geass boxes, as well as their DBZ release.

No, he meant the previous cover design that was used in early advertisement.
(http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/7927/adv01624.jpg)
They scrapped that one however. The image of Lelouch and C.C. (which the German dub pronounces the way it's written and not "C2") is used on the back however.
The new, final cover looks like this:

Well, they have not even announced that on the Polish branch.
Tough, the fact that they are still releasing animu shows that it was not yet closed... I sure [tornado fang]ing hope they won't. I want to at least complete my Geass DVD Collection that will start with this DVD.
Hey, can you tell me (when you finally get the DVD) what's inside that 50 something page booklet they give with this DVD? I'm interested in it.
What's included in AV/KAZÉ's CG release are the booklets from the regular Japanese regular and the American Limited Edition releases. It's the first 3 booklets combined into one.
Rebuild of Evangelion 1.11, extended scenes FTW! oh, and it fixed the lighting problems. *o*
Still waiting for the next season of Negima.
Started my re-watch of season one of CODE GEASS. Damn, those were great times back then...
I just started watching Strike Witches.
Welcome to NHK.
Finally caught up on Darker than BLACK - Ryusei no Gemini again. Can't say it really gets me though.
On the other hand, watched the first two episodes of Seitokai no Ichizon so far. [tornado fang]ing [parasitic bomb], this is awesome.
Vandread. Nice little mecha anime. :3

You may not get that much about it but its atleast deeper than first series in terms of drawing quality and plot.
I just found this online.

(http://i887.photobucket.com/albums/ac71/Flame-G102/nightwalkerslickinnerr-1.jpg)
[/spoiler]
suffice to say, I want.
However, the catch is that its region 4.
God F*ing dammit.
I dont think my DVD player is multi region...
I mean, its hard enough to find the DVD collection of this series, (im not interested in VHS's dammit!) and this one is not the right region.
...
I would probably get it anyway. Just cuz Ive been searching for the DVD collection of it for years. >_>;
As for what Im watching right now-
5D's, FMA:B and rewatching a few old animes from my list
So, I'm supposed to start Nyan Koi and Sora No Otoshimono.
Well, [parasitic bomb], I'm watching a lot of stuff.
Not to mention I'm getting harassed to watch Kampfer, which I really don't think I will.
I started watching K-ON since I haven't watched any animes since....summer so im also gonna try to go watch another series after im done beating this pinata.
Saw New Kimagure Orange Road. It's a nice movie. It's got a lot of heart. But it was a real blast from the past, too. I dunno, something about one of the characters using a beeper made me feel so much older.
After reading the recent Shelf Life on ANN, I'm curious about Popotan. No doubt it's shameless, but I want to see if it has merit.
I'm also watching The World of Narue. I'm a bit unsure about it, it feels kinda slow. But I'm sticking with it for now because Episode 2 is the dub's Crowning Moment of Funny. Was not expecting to hear Arnold in an anime dub.
Other things I'm watching:
-Revolutionary Girl Utena
-Super Gals
-You're Under Arrest
-Alice Academy
-He is My Master
-Clannad After Story
-Daphne in the Brilliant Blue
-Queen's Blade
-Kampfer
Just started on Halo Legends "Babysitter" Pt1 on Youtube on another tab.
Still watching Brotherhood and Bleach
Look, I'm usually very, VERY forgiving of anime endings. But even I have to say the Queen's Blade ending was [tornado fang]ing terrible. It's the worst rush job I've ever seen. This is something that should've been stretched out into 2 episodes at least, cause they crammed so much into this one, it's a big mess.
This I've got to see...
Well, finally gonna start Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo.
Wait...
People watched Queen's Blade for the story?
I was watching it without subs, so I don't even know how crappy the plot was.
Currently watching:
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Letter Bee
Sora no Otoshimono
Gotta finish those on-hold though...
Already at Ep12 of Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo.
Besides the Code Geass references here and there (LOL AT THE FIRST OP), it's a pretty good watch.
Posted on: December 16, 2009, 21:17:05
And finished Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo.
The overall plot really touches on how society and real life can be cruel, and escapism... Very nicely done. A great watch.
Oh, and evil Leopard > normal Leopard. XD
Posted on: December 17, 2009, 21:09:17
Triple post!
Finished quite a few today.
1. Completed Spice and Wolf II. Longer arcs, and that ending... I wanted more. XD
2. Watched first 2 eps of the Spice and Wolf specials. Horo teaching warm-up exercises? XD
3. Watched first 8 of the Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo picture drama. Sakura's ep was priceless.
4. Watched ep 2 of Mahou Sensei Negima! Mou Hitotsu no Sekai. Good to see Chachamaru being winded up by Negi, as well as Chisame's... Peril. XD
Boring Haruhi Suizmaya...even though i have the figmas.
Decided to start Kampfer, and am trying to finish up Mai-HiME.
Also watching Birdy Decode with a friend, and finished Kara no Kyoukai 7 with that friend recently as well.
Edit:
I think Kampfer is alot better when you don't expect much, since I initially saw all of /a/'s complaints first hand... I know not to expect the show to get better, so I'm enjoying it as it is.
Kampfer is for the genderswapping, that's more than enough. XD
Will start watching it soon as well.

Let me guess. The manga/novel's better, right?
You know what? I'm sick and tired of that. Instead of comparing things to what they're based off of, why not just judge it on its own merits? "Just read the manga, dope." No, I don't like to read manga, I want to watch a [tornado fang]ing cartoon, okay?
Besides, Kampfer's awesome.
well i hope you enjoy never learning what happens to a defeated kampfer.
You know what, I probably will.

Woah, man. I never said that. You guessed wrong...
I have not read the manga, and I probably will never pick it up. Same with the novel.
I usually enjoy shows that take themselves more seriously, and if I was expecting Kampfer to do that, I may not enjoy it as much. Because I'm watching it for what it is, it's awesome.
I was asking if that's what people were telling you.
Ah, well in that case, not really. I've heard of the manga and novel being better, but there's also the people that complain about those as well.
Most of what I've heard is about people expecting it to get better throughout the story and complaining about all the potential it had, but never really going anywhere. Then the good parts about how the show's biggest highlight is just being plain fun to watch despite (however many) flaws people can point out if they feel like it.
Well, finishing Kampfer.
And I liked it as it is, the random, the bender, the overall.
Next up... CANAAN.
The Irresponsible Captain Tylor- Up to ep 19.
Hokuto no Ken - I think ep 45 was the last one I watched... I went through a marathon on Thanksgiving.
Bleach - Which I'm going to start watching online, because it looks like Adult Swim isn't going to show any until after February and then they start with a Filler Arc, some new captain the Soul Society gets. I watched the first episode and watched a little of the end of the arc.
Gundam Wing- About to start on the DVD Collection II.
Great Teacher Onizuka - Hoping to get the second semester for christmas.
Finished CANAAN.
I'm surprised at the storyline, very well made, and... Kinda scary due to how terrorism could advance to such a level.
Also watched the Akikan! OVA (What is up with OVA episodes being hot spring stories... XD Not that I don't enjoy either way... XD), as well as the Kanokon OVAs (Summer, but same thing with Akikan! OVA... XD)
Posted on: December 22, 2009, 20:04:55
Started The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya again, this time including the 2009 eps...
Currently at ep11, just concluded Remote Island Syndrome.
Can't wait to watching Endless Eight tomorrow. XD

Duh, you could ve watched earlier when it was out. It was alot intense when you had to wait a week 8B
And finished all 28 eps of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
I have to say, that I actually enjoyed all 8 eps of Endless Eight. XD
Genshiken 2 :3
Quote from: Nekomata on December 24, 2009, 06:26:58 PM

But really, I was enjoying finding out the differences in the dialogue... XD
Watched Kara no Kyoukai 6.
Started 7 but stopped watching after the intro. I watched too many things today. Will watch tomorrow.
They are my noble masters, but I'm only in it for that red haired girl, and the blackmail of me. -u-'
Rewatched Strike Witches, this time the DVD version.
It's just as good as I first saw it, pantsu and all. XD
Plus oh god at few certain scenes in ep7... ~o~
Posted on: December 28, 2009, 19:39:02
Just finished Seitokai no Ichizon.
Loved the blatant references to other well known animes. XD
Also, Chizuru as a sheep. Mokyu~ 0v0
...
Oh yea, Singapore was in it too! AWESOME! >0<
Started watching Ghost in the Shell - STAND ALONE COMPLEX since my replacement DVD set from Archonia arrived on monday.
However, I seem to have really bad luck right now, because there's another freak error. For whatever reason, the second disc does NOT have Japanese 2.0 sound (I looked a bit around the internet, and haven't discovered any other cases of this happening). And since I don't have a 5.1 system, I had no way of watching it in Japanese on my television, thus forcing me to watch it dubbed. I mean the dub isn't bad or anything, it's a good dub actually, but it still freaks me out. I checked all other DVDs of the set and they are fine.
Watching Queen's Blade Season 2, up to ep11.
Currently waiting for the subs of the last ep from a certain group.
As of now, pretty good.
Completed Spice and Wolf 2.
Now, i'm gonna finish watching the rest of DtB: Ryuusei no Gemini.
I finished watching(more or less, I skipped a lot) episodes of YGO GX Season 2.
I just finished Reform Without Wasted Draws - The Legend of Koizumi Ep1 VIA Zx's topic. :W
Kampfer, but I will possibly stop, ehh..
Code Geass:Lelouch of the Rebellion R2
Bleach
Inuyasha (Great Series,Still..)

Oh [parasitic bomb], this.
It's the first anime I've ever bought on DVD. I was lured in by the boobs... it wasn't half bad actually.
I have to buy the second dvd one day.
Bought a bunch of DVDs on New Years, so I'm going to be watching Nadia, Nuku Nuku TV, Great Teacher Onizuka, and Sakura Wars.
Started Fate/Stay Night :P
Devil May Cry, then GunXSword.
Just finished the first disc of Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG.
Waiting for DigitalRewind on LJ to start posting Digimon Frontier episodes.
Naruto Shippuden
Yeaaaaah. I need to expand on this more. Actually one of my New Year's resolutions.
Finished Fate S/N. Loved it.
So Kampfer is only 12 episodes long, huh? That's a bit of a letdown. The show just ends with a lot of unfinished business. Well, that and a gag episode 12 which while funny, doesn't fill the void.
I've also finished watching He is my Master, which is also only 12 episodes long and also leaves me wanting more. But at least everything's kinda resolved at the end of this.

I agree with you on He is my master, though it could have gone on longer if it kinda ditched the whole "contest" thing, which got stale in the final episode. I also say that the biggest question I have after finishing this is how the hell can Sakura control minds, summon both a gun and sword, and give out Kampfer bracelets, and make animals talk too. Oh and the resolution to the whole moderator thing? No one wins since the battle really does not have a victor?
I prefer They are my Noble Masters over He is my Master on the whole animes with "master" in thier name.
And one more thing I find odd is both of us watching the same two animes.....
Kämpfer isn't exactly finished - or at least, the Light Novel is still ongoing.
well, on the one side, atleast kampfer didn't try and pull you into a false sense of it being any good and stayed at the same level of horrible throughout >>
Nuh uh. I enjoyed the ride. It just threw me off early.

11 actually.
Ep12 is just a gag episode with no relation to the previous episodes.
Season 2... *shrug*

Also, watching Gurren Lagaan and fate/stay night, sorta.
Posted on: January 09, 2010, 14:27:13
I am halfway through Fate/stay night and I must say Unlimited blade works was pretty cool, so was excalibur. Though it gets me wondering why the loli is so damned convoluted. Oh yeah and when Archer was totally speaking english was kinda funny, then during his last english lines got better. Sayonara Archer, you will possibly be missed.
I am the bone of my sword.
That bit I could understand well.
"Steel is my body and fire is my blood
I have created over a thousand blades
Unkown to death nor known to life
Have withstood pain to create many weapons
yet those hands will never hold anything
So as I pray...blah blah blah"
And I must find that the episode after that was quite......interesting...
go play the eroge now.
And watched the final episode of Queen's Blade Season 2.
A happy ending, and Reina's Rockman.
... Right. -_-
Watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, just finished Episode 8. Great stuff, this show is.

Speaking of TTGL, when was the second movie's DVD out again? I need to watch it if only to see [spoiler]Super TTGL, a robot that makes [tornado fang]ing TTGL, the galaxy sized mecha, look like an ant[/spoiler] XD
TTGL isn't galaxy sized, that was just some wonky notspace made by that silhouette thing.
Getter Emperor in it's last appearance was peaking out of a galaxy. Then Ken Ishikawa died and nobody knows where he was going with Getter.
I just need to say that TTGL lost its amazing when everyone got older and now they must defend ALL humanity instead of going on killing rampages.

ok. Sekion no Qwaser was awasome. I mean who doesnt want to drink milk from a girl's breast and then have ultra-god-like powers.
Still watching CANAAN.
It may have taken me 6 months to get to this point, but there are only two episodes left.
Finished Weiss Survive, 16 eps, each 2 mins and 30 seconds long.
Well, card-battling... Service... It's ok in it's own right.
I'm dropping a few shows. Alice Academy is having a hard time holding my interest now. Popotan is too, despite the amount of service. Popotan is trying too hard to be serious; it works better as a full on comedy. I'm also dropping The World of Narue because it's not really getting anywhere, and I'm starting to lose my patience with the dub.
Started Kannazuki no Miko. Giant robots and lesbos? It's gotta be good, right?
Almost done with Daphne, which I'm kinda surprised I stuck with it this far. The serious business kinda came out of nowhere, but it isn't as obtrusive as in other shows. And at least there's a few episodes to flesh it out. But the first bonus episode was fantastic. It might be the show's Crowning Moment of Funny.
[spoiler]Remind me to keep the TvTropes quotes to a minimum. They're going to get played out real quick otherwise.[/spoiler]
they're already overly played out.

Well it is, if you don't focus too much on plot and stuff. Its good for what it is, a simple Super Robot show with a blend of Comedy. Also, Tits.
Anyway, finished Episode 13 Tonight. Going to finish up to 16 by tomorrow.
Posted on: January 20, 2010, 12:03:04 AM
Currently watching Episode 17 of TTGL, What the Hell? Did they just hire the same VA's that they used for Geass? Simon and Rossiu sound Exactly like Suzaku and Lelouch now, and that blonde chick sounds like Kallen. Jeez, talk about a little lazy.
Talk about slow to notice. It was Yuri and Johnny the whole time. Like it is in everything, nowadays.
I knew it was them, they had different sounding voices earlier in the show. Its just wierd that they decided to use those voices for these characters.
Currently watching Yatterman '08 Ep.2, Part three. The Dubbing Group is Ittaku-Subs. I'm liking it. XD
I'm currently watching .hack//Roots and Princess Tutu. XD
But I just finished the second series of Darker than Black, and Gankutsuou not long ago ^^
Finished CANAAN.
Now to find something else.
As I mentioned in the Geass Board, I'm taking a small break on TTGL to dive through hell and survive the pain and suffering of Part 2 and disc 1 of part 3 of Code Geass R2, once it gets to the second disc it all becomes so nice.
Damn, I like this show so much more when I don't have to wait through a 2 month repeat torture.
Watching Souten no Ken (Fist of the blue sky)

Depends on what you classify as Mind [twin slasher].
Overcomplicated or A plot that doesn´t make sence even in it´s own world...
Finished TTGL, not bad. Show had its moments, i'm surprised why they felt like pretty much everybody in the original Team Dai-Gurren needed to be killed off... But I heard that the movies don't have them dying. So when those come over here I'd probably enjoy seeing how they do them.

I figured before I started something like CLANNAD or something as long as Legend of the Galactic Heroes, it was time to watch a series from last year I meant to watch but didn't, in this case, Sengoku BASARA. Awesome stuff. Watched it in 2 sittings.
Anyone knows who's subbing the OVA/ep13? O^O
Finished Daphne in the Brilliant Blue. I liked it more than I thought I would. Although the last episode does throw quite a bit at you. The second extra episode does that body-switching thing that's only been done in every show ever. But it was still fun seeing Gloria in Maya's body. The facial expressions were awesome. Kinda reminded me of Revy, except with a huge forehead. Maya in Gloria's body wasn't as interesting, though.
After a loooonnnggg hitaus, I'm actually starting F/SN, going in order though. Took awhile to find a decent MKV player too. X(
Getting into the third arc of Utena now. It's getting more mindfuck. It's getting more sexual. And it's getting gayer, too. Exactly how Utena should be.
Tayutama :3
When I get the chance I'm going to start watching Darker than BLACK.
Finished F/SN 01. You know, it's worthwile in my opinion, not bad, not great either, plus it had it's moments (that crazy lady of a teacher, heh).
Play the Visual Novel.
Managed to get Lagann-hen.
Need to watch soon...

I was neither impressed nor amused. I prefer the TV version.
Minami-ke.
I forgot that there was a thread for this. So after much delay and postponing, I have finally finished watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan. I am finally caught up with 2007. XD
Also, Simon right, he's reminds me of that one friend everyone has that has an insane level of humility but at the same time could outshine everyone. That type of person almost always gets shafted out of a totally happy end.
Final note - epic final battle with Mr. Game & Watch indeed.
Watch the movies Jeri, seriously, at the very least the second. If you thought the final battle was epic in the anime, then oh man, you'll be in for a surprise XD
The original Gundam, which I'm finding pretty repetitive, and Death Note.

But the first had the catfight between Yoko and Adiane! 8D
Durarara!! [tornado fang] yeah! 0v0
I'm going through Fate/Stay Night at the speed of liiiiight! And I find episode 18 to have a very appealing scene.....
K-ON!
I really will finish it this time.
And now I truly and utterly finish Fate/stay Night!!! *cheers all around* Onward to possibly Gurren Lagann, possibly.
How about you watch Shingetsutan Tsukihime.

An edible 12 episodes? This will be the perfect excuse to get away from Gurren Lagann ( Oh hey, its the same voice actors from CG back for more in the second part of TTGL.)The new plot fails to compel me to keep watching, it hasn't ever, anyways.
You sicken me.

That is why you should watch the movie trilogy instead of the original TV series.
No
monster Mobile Suit/Mobile Armor of the week, no G-Fighter, no Gattai sequences, no Guntank in space or all those other super robot shenanigans. Also superior animation in some cases.

You must have lost your mind to recommend something like this. Tsukihime can only be consumed in two forms. The Visual Novel or the Manga.

actually like it and I was sickened.
What the [tornado fang] are you guys talking about? There's no Tsukihime animu.

Whoever said I liked any anime? In my life I haven't actually liked any anime, I can only digest TTGL when I force myself to watch it. I really just skipped around the show.
I guess I have just been checkmated.

Heh, before watching it I was looking up episode reviews just outta' interest. And.. The Zackrello. I 'aint even that far into the series yet but what the hell is that thing supposed to be.
Also watching this thing called
Ergo Proxy. Opinions on that if you've watched it, anyone.
Couldn't hold my interest for too long. When they were showing that on Fuse, I was more interested in Tenjho Tenge. That's pretty sad.
I watched the first ep of Polyphonica. Not sure what to think of it yet. Also started Special A. It's [tornado fang]ing hilarious. And now I'm about to start Blue Drop and Tears to Tiara.
Started Soul Eater.
I found the manga (The scans anyway,) to have a very poor start, considering NOTHING was explained at the start, leaving me confused and wondering what I should know.
So I tried the anime on Funi's Tube. As I expected, it explains much better. I like it so far.
Dr. Stein sure is loony.
Some of the more well written character moments of Gundam have been making me teary recently. Poor Amuro.
Finally watched TTGL Lagann-hen.
Man... That final battle sure was dragged out, but it was awesome nonetheless.
[spoiler]Seriously, Tengen Toppa Dai-Gurren Dan Gunmen? SUPER TTGL!? SUPER GRAND ZAMBOA!? Though the fistfight was awesome too. XD[/spoiler]
Also watched the K-ON! Special, Live House.
Nice to see them again, and fambling a bit. XD
And seriously, I want to know what the hell the producers were smoking when they made the Queen's Blade Specials.
Ep6 was... wat.
I liked the part where Yoko was topless.
Everything else was mostly made up of clips from the normal series. How can Japan get away with that?
Its Gainax, they do it all the time because they run out of Budget. Except for episode 6 of TTGL, that was just a Censorship thing.
I have just finished the first OVA of Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. It was glorious.
...except it had a major cliffhanger.
I'm watching One Piece... From where I left off almost 2 years ago from Fansubs, So now I'm at Episode 53.
After 8 months, I have finally finished K-ON!
Gonna' have to hold off finishing Gundam for a bit because my episode 41 has the audio of episode 40? Has this ever happened to anyone before? I mean what the hell. Three episodes to go.
Finished watching Fate/stay night, the TV Reproduction OVAs.
Seeing them squeezing 24 eps into 2 1 hour eps... Not as cool as I thought.
Still, it was a nice refresh... Before being able to catch the Unlimited Blade Works movie.
I've spent the week rewatching one of my most favorite animes ever, Gankutsuou - The Count of Monte Cristo. I've finished five out of six volumes and will probably watch the last one tonight. It's still as awesome as I remember it.
Kara no Kyoukai - The Garden of Sinners. I´ve watched all 7 of them..hehe, nice little mind [tornado fang] there, though the it isn´t as big as some people say

You have a metric shitton of watching to do then. XD
Meanwhile, I'm thinking of starting Fairy Tail. Anyone know what I can expect from the anime so far? (I've actually been reading the manga, I just wanted to know if things translate well.)
Well, it is less bloody than the manga, other than that, it´s faithfull to the manga, with some little tweaks
I would say go for it, though I still prefer the manga to the anime.
Though in the anime Natsu eats a village.
Watching Lucky Star.
Just watched Katanagatari.
I like this one. Somehow, it reminds me of bakemonogatari.
maybe its cause they both end with gatari
Oh U!
It's by the same author.
Finished Sasameki Koto.
I really like this yuri anime, and not just because it's yuri!
The story was really good, and I liked to see how Sumika fumbles over trying to catch Ushio's attention... >w<
Gave me the same warm, fuzzy feeling after watching Candy Boy. owo

I mean, after that, my favorite DN chara appears... Mikami. That scene where he goes all KAMI is so SAKUJO!
Quote from: Kharaxel on March 10, 2010, 09:52:41 PM

L = EPIC EMO HAIR/POTATO CHIP LOL
Err.. sorry about that. Also, finished my first abridged episode of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
still watching Minami-ke. Really cool.
Full metal panic, it seems nice. Sorta.
Starting ToLoveru and Maria Holic. Also checking out Dance in the Vampire Bund just to see what all the hubbub is about. I haven't seen anything "objectionable" yet.
Also keeping up with Special A. Holy [parasitic bomb], this show's funny.
Full metal panic! I just finished and am now watching its sequel, which has better action scenes and pretty much better everything.
Umi Monogatari....nice story...but that turtle oldman annoys me so much.......like...YOU MUST BECOME ZE MIKO OF ZE SEE AND MIKO OF ZE SKAI TO DEFEAT ZE EVIL!!!! and some stupid and unresponsible shits he said......
Almost done with Kannazuki no Miko. I was shouting my head off at Episode 10.
[spoiler=Not sure if I need to spoiler tag this, considering this show's famous for this reason, but..]How the hell do you trust the girl that just RAPED you? I don't care that they didn't explicitly show it in the anime. You can still tell. Himeko got raped.[/spoiler]
Didn't feel like making a new topic, so I thought I'd just briefly interrupt this one to say R.I.P. to Nujabes, one of the people who worked on the Samurai Champloo soundtrack, which is one of my favorite anime soundtracks ever. Samurai Champloo is probably in my Top 3 favorite animes of all time. I was just listening to this soundtrack last night and to me, his work on the soundtrack just made the anime that much better. Some of his tracks...
This last one wasn't from Samurai Champloo. Now, I know they're aren't many rap fans on RPM, but I can't stress enough how this one song is infinitely better than the majority of rap that comes out today. Well, sorry to interrupt the topic and please continue on.
Jesus Christ. What happened to him?
It was a car accident in late Feb. They couldn't revive him.
Damn damn shame.
Finished Clannad After Story. The ending is a pretty big copout. But the ride is an emotional rollercoaster. I've almost cried on numerous occasions. Just waiting to see the other extra episodes now, and then wait for the dub.
I'm watching Haruhi. And I finished Lucky Star.
Watched Evangelion 1.0 last night. It was pretty good. Although cause I haven't seen the original in forever, I've forgotten a lot. Half the time I as saying to myself "Is that new? I don't remember that."
Posted on: March 21, 2010, 22:40:19
Jeez, the Clannad dub came out really damn quick. 2 episodes a week, too. I only watched the first one so far, though.
The only real problem is Sunohara. I think Greg Ayres could pull off the role, but he's just using the wrong voice. He's using the wimpy kid voice for a character that isn't that young. It's especially jarring when you hear him next to some other characters; they sound too adult by comparison. Kyou's the best example of that. I think casting Shelley Black was the perfect choice, she pulls off the bitchy mood really well, but she does sound a bit older than the character looks. Tomoyo has a similar issue, but not nearly as bad. Everyone else sounds really good. I enjoyed Matrenga's take on Tomoya. Sanae sounds perfect. And when I read the cast list and saw Luci Christian, I was like "Oh no, not again." I'm surprised, she pulled off Nagisa pretty nicely. The voice isn't as squeaky as in Japanese, but it still fits the character. And looking ahead, I think no one else could dub Fuko's voice other than Hilary Haag.
Currently watching:Slayers Revolution
One Piece (Ep 108 of Funimation)
Bleach (ep 223ish, I skipped the 9th and 11th season. I dunno about the 9th, I might watch it on Adult Swim, I'm planning on going back to the 11th when they get done fighting in Karakura town, which will probably take a while.)
Naruto Shippuden (Disney X D)
FMA: Brotherhood

Hokuto no Ken (I watched a marathon on Thanksgiving day, but other than that, haven't watched anything else. Maybe I'll watch some on easter. 8D)

I felt the 1st season focused on blended action and comedy. Fumoffu I felt focused more on the comical aspects, while The second Raid is more about action/drama. It's a good series!
Quote from: Hiroki
Because L was the level of brilliant that there's absolutely no chance anyone besides Kira could come close to him and any of his successors can't possibly compare?
Also, because I'm weird and I relate to the weird characters. L is a weird character.
Yea, L's successor Near does come close, but it's not exactly the same cat and mouse game. Light just has too much of an advantage here.
[spoiler]...At least until the very end. At least Near pulled that off well.[/spoiler]
Finished Ghost in the Shell. Excellent Movie.

I have to say that it is more dramatic with Tessa exploding straight at Souske, and the younger sister of those two evil ones getting her armed ripped off, then both of them blowing up, and the epic black guy.
Also Fummoffu was overall a funny season, that student council guy with the white hair was hilarious when he translated what that punk was saying. And the way he handled Souske's over the top ways of handling school life.
Finished Casshern Sins this week. I really liked the atmosphere and tone of the series. I seem to remember an official thread floating about on the site, I'll leave a more in depth review there in a bit.
Other than the latest episode of 5D's, I watched Sword of the Stranger and Tokyo Godfathers this week. Both excellent movies I have to say.
I decided finally to watch PetShop of Horrors.
I'm watching the Cell Saga of Dragonball Z.
Before watching episode 2 of Clannad dubbed, I realized that there was a very good possibility they'd [tornado fang] up the Big Dango Family song. And yeah, they kinda did. I mean, it's better than Wendee Lee's take on God Knows, but yeah. As expected, Hilary Haag sounds good as Fuko. Kotomi doesn't sound as awkward as I expected her to, which may be a good thing, actually. Let's just hope this girl can scream bloody murder.
Minami-ke still... it's good! Although I did see a little bit of Sailor Moon recently and it was interesting... might have to get that once I get an external hard drive.
Alright, finally some time to catch up on some anime...
Toradora SOS is finally completely subbed, and it's food discussion and FYI.
Queen's Blade specials are still going on into season 2... And it's still just as lolwuttheheck.
Shana S ep2 is very heartwarming, and Shanatan dos is just so lolworthy.
Should be starting Sacred Blacksmith, or Sora no Woto next.

I liked Sora no Woto. It was a peaceful anime compared to all the fighting ones that came out recently...
Well, I started, and finished The Sacred Blacksmith first.
It's an OK watch, though the climax left me wanting a bit more.
Gonna start Sora no Woto next.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention the Rin Kagamine (Yes, the Vocaloid) look-alike in Sacred Blacksmith.
Pity she died. Horribly too.
Still Minami-ke..... It's good. And I haven't really watched it in a while soo...
Finished Utena last night. The ending made no sense at all, but that's to be expected of a mindfuck show like this.
Up to ep 11 of Clannad dubbed. About Matrenga, his voice fits and he acts well, but his pronunciation always seems to be off. For one thing, he never once said Kouko properly. There's are two os in there, you dip! I could've swore I heard a Yoosooke at one point, too. (On a side note, casting Illich Guardiola was a perfect choice. His accent fits Yusuke's hammy speeches so well.) Also, everyone kinda slurs the pronunciation of Fujibayashi, they turn the first a into a schwa, almost cutting it out entirely. They haven't said Ryou right, either. They always say Rou, which is weird because they get Kyou right. But hey, I'd much rather hear a Rou than a Rayou.

I personally prefer STAND ALONE COMPLEX. I've seen the Ghost in the Shell movie like 3 times, but it's still confusing me on some parts. And I haven't even seen Innocence, which supposedly is even more filled with "Oshii-ness". First movie is still an accomplishment in terms of animation and portraiting mature themes in anime though.

thats pretty much why its so great. As far as Motoko Goes, it strays REEEEALLY far from her original portrayal, But its still an interesting thing. In a society where theres almost no difference between machine and man, who defines what "Human" is?
She starts having this existential meltdown, "what if im actually not real?" Hell, you want to leave Section 9, you hand in your body and all your memories. You basically give up your life and have to start a new one.
SAC is actually pretty good too. I like it. I HAVE it. Watched it a few times over. Second gig felt weird though. But I loved the story about the boy and little girl. (AKA Motoko's past)
Finished Super Gals. I really hope Section23 dubs the second half.
Just finished Ga Rei -Zero-, damn I cried at the ending >_<
Wow. I'm surprised Special A has so much serious business. It's still a very light hearted comedy, but I was under the impression that it was ONLY that. Either way, it is really [tornado fang]ing funny. Probably one of my Top 10 favorites at this point.
Well, completed Sora no Woto, as well as Toaru Kagaku no Railgun.
Sora no Woto builds up slowly, and then WHAM, the final ep, very touching. ;_;
As for Railgun, it's Biribiri afterall, and it's nice to see the Index characters appearing as well.
And I would be lying if I didn't watch the Queen's Blade S2 specials. Same old wtf.

Nope, she can't. She's worse by FAR. Compared to Japanese, there's like no impact in English. On the bright side, Greg Ayres has been lowering his pitch for Sunohara as of late.
I'm still watching ToLoveRu, but I'm starting to get bored with it.
Digimon Adventure 01
Yeah, it's old (and it's ripped off of the now-defunct Toon Disney and has the stupid Jetix ticker at some parts), but I don't care. Nostalgia wins here! ^_^
Black Jack OVA (the original 1993 one)
Finally, a sub of the Sengoku Basara special, aka episode 13.
It still has the brilliant fight sequences, and it seems this took place right before the storming of Nobunaga's citadel... Oh well.
It was still a great watch.
Can't wait for season 2... Right after FMA ends...
History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi.
It's a shame there's only one season of it as the manga skyrockets in quality at the point where the anime ends but still it's fairly enjoyable to watch the first arc in action.
Catching up on Hellsing Ultimate.
Also, why did the anime/manga section suddenly get shoved in the bottom of the list under roleplay?
Still Digimon Adventure 01... 27 eps in.
And I was wondering that myself.
Started Toradora! 24 hours ago and finished 5 hours ago, last ep. was a bit bad and weird/odd, but I must say it was one of the animes I actually overjoyed and felt like I lived in it. Probably one of the best Slice of Life animes.
I started watching D. Gray-Man. I like the manga so I decided to give it a try. Since the manga is still running but the anime is not I guess the anime made up it´s own ending... well I hope it´s atleast good...

Nope, the ending is almost like in one of the chapters.
Watced Hotaru no Haka, this movie can not be compared to any other modern animes. This one is a realistic anime, not our daily crap. This is the masterpiece movie of reality. Someone who find this boring or not shed any tear are just inhuman. This is not a movie of enjoyment, it is an experience of sadness and true love.

Just finished watching Final Fantasy Advent Children Complete (on Blu-ray), omg that was just pure awasomeness, they improved alot and even original was badass so this is double-smex. And new ending song is just one of the best of Kyosuke Himuro.
Let's see....
- Working!
- B gata H kei
- Ichiban bla bla daimaou.
The first two are funnier than I thought.
And I still need to watch that damned Kon!!
I'm rewatching Hajime no Ippo New Challenger. Which i might add is pure unleaded awesome fuel.
Well, I'm at the Dark Masters arc of Digimon Adventure 01; I'm downloading Adventure 02, since they're the only two seasons linked narratively (and I don't remember much of it anyways).
That means 14 episodes left to watch. And then 50 for Adventure 02. ^_^
Watched Summer Wars.
This movie... Is brilliant in terms of how technology affecting our lives can really backfire back on us.
It was a great watch.
Also started Valkyria Chronicles.
So far... Nothing much since it has only been the first 2 eps... XD
Finally someone who watched the awesomecity named Summer Wars.
It's easily included in my top 3 best animation movie ever.

Up to ep12 of Valkyria Chronicles now.
It's quite an OK watch to me... Seeing tanks... And Infantry... Darn patriotic commitments... *shakes fist*
Oh, and Welkin is seriously weird and dense. XD
Ep 10 of Digimon Adventure. Through a grueling search, I obtained Jap audio/Eng sub versions of the first three movies (Adventure, Our War Game, and Hurricane Touchdown / Supreme Evolution! The Golden Digimentals) which were edited to [parasitic bomb] under the title Digimon: The Movie. Watched the first two; waiting until after ep 21 to watch the third. I also got Revenge of Diaboromon, so I have all the video-based narratives for Digimon Adventure! YAY ME!
Up to ep22 of Valkyria Chronicles now.
Isara... ;O;
Just watched the first dubbed episode of Queen's Blade. It's not bad, but not spectacular, pretty much what I expected from Media Blasters. They've dubbed Kanokon as well, I'll check that out later.
::edit:: Kanokon dubbed is bad. Very bad. Not funny bad, just plain bad. The only way it can redeem itself is if Kouta says "prodigious" at some point.
Queen's Blade dub? Mind sharing?
Also finished Valkyria Chronicles.
This turned out to be quite a great watch for me.
Character development, personally, I felt they have done well with that... Case in point... Isara... ;O;
Also watched the first ep of Gundam Unicorn.
Nice buildup so far.
Finally finished downloading the last of Dance in the Vampire Bund. I have mixed feelings about this one. I love the manga and the way to story cares out its dark plots, sinister events, loving of a cute princess. The anime portrays a lot of that, but since as it was done by SHAFT, the plot all went to hell. They even went as far as dregrading the final boss characters into grunts of another more "evil" villain. Plus, they tried too hard in fitting 5 volumes of the manga in 12 episodes.
Overall, a 6/10.

A movie. ~27 minutes long.
For what it's worth, it's actually a pretty cool watch.
watching baka to test to shoukanjuu
all the other stuff i'm watching can wait because i don't feel like watching them
Just stumbled upon Code Geass and I have to say that I"m hooked. I must be really late if they have all 25 episodes available. ^-^;;
For the past week or so I've been watching an OVA about some guy and an Oni (green-haired human-like with horns that can shoot LIGHTNING and wear clothes with tiger patterns, I might actually DOWNLOAD my own copy and watch it without days on end intteruption.
But alas, like most anime, I never finish watching it. :P

And I have to say, this is some awesome [parasitic bomb]. XD
I'm wrapping up Digimon Adventure 02 (about to watch ep 37), and after that, some Rockman.EXE; the Japanese version with English subs. Not the shitty MEGAMAN NT WARRIOR atrocity.
^ But I thought you liked the NT warrior intro song. :P
I'm just saying, a lot of stuff was cut and/or changed in the bastardized version that came to America.
And I don't really remember the theme, tbh.

Up to the most current subbed ep18.
Seriously, this show does not disappoint. XD
Though it's another still airing anime, might jump start K-ON!! season 2.

I consider it to be the best show of 2010 so far. RAINBOW might also be up there.
Paprika, nice little suspense OVA. 18+ warning due to content (and mindfuck).. even though I'd suggest to give it a shot.
Well, watched some Rockman.EXE... it's awesome! Netto's as dense as ever, and Masa is just... weird... Higure is pretty cool too. ^_^ And Yaito, she has some hilarious things... Great show.

[tornado fang] the "Cross-Fusion". It's overraited (like Cosmo, they are both non-cannon to thier respective series), and the CGI for the Dream Virus was pretty hot for it's time.
does anyone watching irregular hunter x ova or the original rockman series ova? i still watching it all over again didn't get myself bored.
I'm really enjoying this Rockman.EXE anime. It's made me like Hinoken even more! (That's Mr. Match to all the uninitiated folks)

I'm gonna finish up Rockman.EXE soon, and then get started on Axess.
Might as well continue learning Japanese because not all the eps of Axess have been subbed, and unless I'm mistaken there aren't any subbed eps of Stream. Beast and Beast+ are also hit and miss.

They all suck because either there's parts that are untranslated (supposedly new scenes that weren't in the original theatrical release, though I never saw a sub for a 2.0 camrip), that have no uniform subbing (as in, using honorifics at one point, then dropping them later or using Japanese name order here, and Western order there) or they are just too [tornado fang]ing big for my notebook to handle. I got a supposedly good sub for my DVD raw, and the timing is just way off for some reason (despite being the same source) and I don't wanna use that freaking huge 1920x1080 file.
I'll wait 'till some actual subbers release a decently encoded version of the movie. Took some time on Summer Wars, too.
im watching kaibutsu oujo (monster princess) it a very good one anyone else watching it?
Already saw it the whole way through. It's not perfect, but pretty good, though just leaves me wanting more. I'm eagerly awaiting a dub.

New scenes... This should be fun to pick out.
Either way, I got one, and it looks ok.
Will watch it fully to see if it's so. XD
Finished Maria Holic. Why must the [parasitic bomb] I enjoy be only 12 episodes long? It ain't enough, dammit. Maria Holic's too damn funny.

Ok, so it seems full subs are out now, so acquiring it again.
Might as well start Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu first.
Is it just me or does Dragon Ball Kai skip a few episodes from the original DBZ?
That's the point of Kai. It condenses the anime to make it more like the manga.
Ohhh, so its like, no fillers then?
Yep, no filler.
Yean I ask this cuze I got DB Kai part 1 today...
No fillers means no Goku's and Picolo's car driving lesson in Kai eh? 8D
Watching Darker than Black.
I hope they leaeve some funny fillers in there...

And finished Baka.
All I have to say is, I got a hearty laugh from the series, a great watch for me.
Also... HIDEYOSHI! *shakes fist* O^O
[spoiler]A trap, so trapful, that he has his own designated toilet/restroom/dressing room/public bath. *shakes fist again*[/spoiler]
And it seems the local TV station is going to air the Pokemon movie, Jirachi Wishmaker, and it's accompanying special, Pokemon Gotta Dance.
So, that's what's next.
Watching Digimon Data Squad/Savers on TV, they just got to the episode where they introduce Bancholeomon and he instantly became one of my favorite characters for some reason XD
Thank god that despite using all of the US dub names and terms that's where the similarities end. I hope that for once they actually show the second OP/ED...although with the whole "plagiarizing a fandub" scandal it may be for the best if they don't.
Oh, and I still think that whoever chose the timeslot for it was [tornado fang]ing retarded.
Hehe, it's a coincidence that they airing Data Squad here too, tonight's ep is the showdown with Merukimon, with Kurata. 8D
Finished up the last 3 eps of the To-LOVE-Ru OVAs.
Ecchi seriously never stops, though I like the RPG ep.
Also watched ep3 of Mahou Sensei Negima! Mou Hitotsu no Sekai.
Finally seeing Rakan, and his antics... XD
Can't wait to see how it all ends... Though it's obvious where it's going.
Lastly, Quiz Magic Academy 2.
Pity there's only chinese subs, but... It's an OK watch nonetheless.
A bit WTF, but still OK. XD
hanaukyo maid tai and sekirei gotta these show im watching
Hitalia.. goddamnit.. Why did my brother had to go rent it..? *sigh* It's random, I tell ya. 8U
Just watched Chichiro-subs.com's subbed version of Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike. I thought it was a pretty good OVA-ish prequel movie to the game itself.
Also can't wait till Full Metal Alchemis: Brotherhood 61, but damnit. I will be visiting a buddy of mine in Sweden when that comes out, but I'll be home when FMAB 62 is out, too.
ToV MOVIE IS OUT?!?! AMMA GO SEE THAT NOW!!
Axis powers hetalia, And Maria Holic. Or maybe im just listening to the ending 8)
So... Finally got to watch Eva 2.0 again, this time as 2.22.

You know, to be honest I don't know either, its been a while since I've seen it, I watched a RAW of it I downloaded, with absolutely no Subs! So I had to just watch the action and listen to Japanese which wasn't translated. Very fun and annoying at the same time..
But it was 50 times more epic not being a shitty camrip.
Street Fighter (Yes There was a Anime,but most of you are Aware of that),Transformers:Animated (The Japanese Version,Which will get new Episodes(Rumored),WTF?!),Kekkashi,NGE,Code Geass R2,Mega Man OVAs,a lotta of other crap i can't exactly remember...

Hehe, I remembered getting the camrip just for the last 1 minute of the movie.
Stupid movie theatre cutting that 1 minute out for no reason. >_>
Is there a date were Eva 2.22 will be avalable in english dub?
Nope. None at all.
The subs are out either way, you can watch that for now.
How long did it take for the 1st one to come out on the states dubbed?

Pokemon Arceus and the Jewel of Life
By the time Ash and his "comrades" reaches a lake near an ancient ruins, [parasitic bomb] happens......

Well...let´s say the Pokémon god fighting against the rulers of time, space, antimater. Time traveling. Ancient conspiracies. Pokémon slavery. etc. Let´s say [parasitic bomb] happens in this movie 8D
I already know the plot from Pokebeach even before the movie aired. 8D
Anyways, finally started InuYasha: Kanketsu-hen, up to ep14 now.
Definitely can feel the rush, with characters dying everywhere.
Currently Midori no Hibi, where the Melody OST hails from. [parasitic bomb]'s crazeh, this guy's got a girl imbedded into his left hand! XD
Saw Eva 2.22 w/ fansubs, rly NICE movie it likes keeps getting better and better for each movie they come out with.
TO THOSE WHO SAW IT: When ever a lot of thinds are happening at the same time did the video go stupid on you or is my does my laptop need to upgrade a few parts to handle the video?
Works just fine for me.
Then again, make sure you have the latest CCCP is a plus too.

Have to say, the way weapons appearing/evolving to defeat Naraku still felt rushed. XD
But, I have to say the ending was nice.
Also started K-ON!! Season 2, first 2 eps in.
Yep, just as lovable as season 1. XD
Right now, i'm in a Studio Ghibli mood.
For the last few days i've watched, Kiki's Delivery Service, Whisper of the Heart and Castle in the Sky (all of them were masterpieces). I swear, Ghibli is like Disney's Japanese counterpart.
Up to the current ep12 of K-ON!! season 2.
I still love all their antics. XD
I'll be damned, [WPP_de_Puku] has actually finished Rockman.EXE Beast.
Let's see here. I finished Special A. It's a wonderful show, and not as episodic as you may think in the beginning. I'm surprised everything fit together and built up to a bigger story. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh and/or those who aren't phased by noodle people.
Also I've been taking a look at Tayutama, Asu no Yoichi, Hidamari Sketch, Hell Girl, and the dub of Dragon Ball Z Kai. I knew some voices were changed in that, but I didn't know all of them. They recast Frieza of all people. In fact, they got a man (Chris Ayres) doing his voice now. I'm not complaining, I'm just so used to the feminine reptilian Linda Young version.
Quote from: TheOnly on June 21, 2010, 07:43:41 AM

Sorry for reply lateness, but
two whole years. It wasn't released until November last year. I'm hoping we don't get 2.22 in 2011, and finally get 3.33 and FINAL in 2013.
Anyway, Funimation hasn't even obtained the rights to 2.22 apparently, according to their message boards.
Interestingly enough, 2.22 will be out here in Germany at the end of July during a convention and then available for regular sale in mid september. Why exactly did Germany get the license while America did not? It was the same with the first movie (except we're only getting 1.11 now, but only on Blu-ray, but not on DVD. Only DVD is 1.01.), which I find to be extremely wierd.
In other news, I finished Durarara!!. I must say the ending was kind of lackluster, but I'm guessing they want to save stuff for season two.
Well, watched Sora no Woto ep7.5, and lol, the acting during the second half... Priceless. XD
Also, I know it's not an anime, but I want to say it in here anyways.
Finally watched Turtles Forever.
Oh god darn brilliance in nostalgia and Utrom Shredder... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It was pretty epic, wasn't it? ^_^
I was too in awe at Utrom Shredder.
You were saying? 8D
I guess Fundamation didn't get the sales it hoped to get OR maybe a lot of ppl already the the DVD or Blu-Ray by the time it was out on dub.
I also found it very interesting that Germany is gonna get WaAaAay before the USA (XD) but since I figuered we might not even get it, I got 2.22 on Blu-Ray w/ english subs thanks to a web site refering to another website were they sold 2.22
But if dub 2.22 does come out in the States I'll still buy it just for the sake of seeing it w/ the dub.

True, still Durarara!! was a great watch.
Also managed to watch the last 2 eps of the Queen's Blade S2 specials... Finally ended... Still... Cracccccccck.
Also, Gurren Lagann Parallel Works 2. To me, it's about there with the prequel, but... Something felt left out for me. Though seeing Kittan and his sisters kick ass, and also some very impressive Gurren gattais...
Lastly, a funny OVA by the name of Tono to Issho. Seeing well-known samurai generals like Date Masamune and Oda Nobunaga going totally out of character... Priceless. XD
I watched "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time". Now I'm watching "Summer Wars".
Summer Wars is awesome.
Though it's best to have some tissues ready.
School Days, what can I say? The ending is:shocking,surprisingly violent,and it has a moral.
not anime but...meh...
Futurama Season 4 Episode 8....the last time i watched it was maybe 5-7 years ago...it was pure awesome 8D

Witch Hunter Robin
Just finished the 3rd episode of Seitokai Yakuindomo. I have to say that i wasn't too crazy about the previous episodes, but this one was really hilarious.
[spoiler=one scene i loved]
[/spoiler]
Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water. I love it so far.I watched ep 9 and 10 last night. I got the Collecion 1 when I went to an anime convention last weekend.(Or rather, My brother got it for me as a birthday present)
As of now, my list is as follows:
[SPOILER=Currently watching:]
Highschool of the Dead - Episode 4
Gun X Sword - Episode 1
Marchen Awakens Romance - Episode 11
Soul Eater - Episode 33
Makai Senki Disgaea - Episode 7
Pandora Hearts - Episode 16
Sora no Otoshimono - Not sure. Lost count. Hilarious series though.
Rewatching:
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Episode 9
Plan to Watch:
Fairy Tail
G-Gundam[/SPOILER]
[Edited:] Added the most obvious one. Can't believe I forgot it.
Finished watching:
-Super Dimension Fortress Macross,
-SDF Macross: Do you remember love?,
-Macross Plus Movie Edition,
-Macross Zero,
-Macross 7,
-Macross 7 Encore,
-Macross 7 Dynamite,
-Macross 7 "Movie" (it was just a normal episode :1)
and Macross Frontier.
I loved the franchise. Especially the first series, Macross 7 and Frontier. I like the combination of love triangles, mecha action and such.
However, my period of not watching any animes for a year or two probably starts right now.
I'm on the fence about Gintama. When it's funny, it is damn funny. But all the stuff inbetween the jokes kinda bores me. Maybe I'd like a dub better so I can follow it easier. And only if Patrick Seitz dubs Gin.
Also started Golgo13. He gets so much tail, it ain't funny.
I'd be watching Rockman.EXE Axess, but I'm awaiting episode 37.
Last Night: Villgust
Today: Heroman: The Abridged Series
Comments:
Starting with Villgust, I wanted to check it out of curiousity, because of the Villgust Gaiden's sprite rips. It had it's moments. OOC Monsters, a character AS fast as Sonic at full speed, and a badass furry. There's also in-jokes of other anime. In short: Very clean animation, a (flowing) comedy/adventure anime, accurate game-based anime, pip-pip and all that.
Now onto Heroman: TAS. I never watched the origional, which I plan to check out sometime later, I can say is.. wow, a moment where the authors decide to poke fun at the main's appearance for looking like that girl in K-ON!. It also uses the n-word, which I think the YGO: TAS might also have too. It doesn't make sense sometimes (mainly, again, haven't watched it yet, opinions on the ACTUAL anime will come later).
Kaichou wa Maid-sama
Gonna start watching Duraga on the PSP. Let's see how this goes. After that I think the rest is history. XD
Quick Edit:

Strike Witches season 2. Can't go wrong with flying panties.
One Piece movie 10 : Strong world.
Damn thing is finnaly subbed. Well it was worth waiting. Definately the best One Piece movie
'Bout to start watching Black Cat. Hadn't heard anything particularly interesting about it, but everyone seems to think it's SOOOOO great, might as well.
Finished Kyatto Ninja Teyandee/Samurai Pizza Cats. I'm amazed that thier humor in the US dub was on the level of Animaniacs. Well done Saban.

K-On!!
Katanagari
Occult Academy
Dragon Ball Z Kai
Even though it's been redubbed, it's just as good as the original Dragon Ball Z dub.

Well you mileage may vary on that. I haven't heard much of the LS dub, but what I have heard sounds like a dub most fans will [parasitic bomb] on solely because it's not the Japanese.
I'm watching Mushishi because it was recommended to me on the basis that I look like the main guy. I really do.
Watched Princess Monoke last night too. Yayyyyyy.
Just finished watching Mononoke. Truly exceptional masterpiece, and should be watched by anyone interested in hardcore Japanese mythology or horror/psychological genre.
Not to mention the main character, "The Medicine Seller", is very well scripted and particularly mysterious.
10/10
I remember Mononoke. Well, about 5 seconds of it. I need to rewatch it. Last time I saw it was on "Month of Miyazaki" on Toonami, hence, a very very long time ago.
Anyways, I started Bleach and Black Cat I'm NOT regretting it, so far so good. Also caught up on HOTD, Takeshi was a badass with that motorcycle.

Oh, and I just finished the OVA. It.. didin't have much, but the usual three-subject per episode procedure. Bleeeehh. I REALLY need to find new anime to watch.. Got reccomendations.. (don't bother with game-based products, I've seen most, save few)?
Finished Asu no Yoichi a week ago. Pretty damn good for a harem anime, actually. Chihaya was my favorite character, uhhi. The show kinda makes me miss Kenshin actually. De gozaru and all that. In it's place I've started Kaichou wa Maid sama, cause I must love tsunderes.
Canaan. Loving it so far
Zeta Gundam is now my anime priority.
..Why is it so amazing? At first, I knew I'd get into it eventually but was all like 'c'mon, you can't just throw a new cast of characters at me and expect me to care about them so early on', but around about episode 10 I've become really engaged in the whole thing.
I just like it how it's essentially a sequel to the original series but still gives enough space for it to act on a stand-alone basis. In fact, it's actually better than the original series. It's as if the upper production team, or whatever relevant circumstances, actually decided to listen to Tomino and not force in as many super-robot-genre elements as possible.
And the animation quality is amazing, especially for the early eighties. Can comeone please tell me why in roughly ten years time as with Gundam Wing, the animation quality got significantly worse? I mean, the battles and cinematography in Zeta just astound me. Wing, and even later ones like Turn A and maybe even Seed look sorta' bad by comparison.

Zeta Gundam is now my anime priority.
..Why is it so amazing? At first, I knew I'd get into it eventually but was all like 'c'mon, you can't just throw a new cast of characters at me and expect me to care about them so early on', but around about episode 10 I've become really engaged in the whole thing.

Wing's animation I can deal with. Seed however, just took a turn and it probably was the same animation team who animated Code Geass.
There is too many anime...but for some reason I don´t feel like watching anything (besides One Piece)
Can you recommend me something to bring me out of my pasivity?

I'm pretty sure they have an animation depot. somewhere in thier HQ. Unless it's both written and animated by the animation team.
Currently watching "Kratos Sensei no Private Lesson!" of the animated TOS shorts. I plan to watch the main story sometime later.
I felt like watching something mecha/scifi, so I watched Full Metal Panic out of the list I had written earlier.
That was pretty fun, though, the story was hit and miss for me. Sagara's mishaps were so fun watch.
...FUMOFFFUUUU~!

I guess fun is watching something that doesn't require thinking.
Watching Code Geass: R1 via Bamco's Youtube account, in japanese with english subtitles. Episode 4. It will be awhile until Youtube fully loads the episode.
EDIT: While this may be another wartime anime with mecha and sci-fi generes thrown into the soup, I can still hold my opinion that CG has a pretty chaotic plot. I could (barely) get the idea what each character has a role for. Nethertheless, know at least I now know that Suzaku's (Mr. Brown hair origionally) the Naiive tool. 8D
Dokuro-Chan up in dis shizz.
Edit: Hmph. Oh. It seems I already posted that I was watching this. STILL, YOU ALL GET TO SEE THIS EPIC OPENING..

Looks like I'm gonna hold off Part 1 of "The Goddess comes to Japan" until maybe tomorrow. But still.. Funny as [parasitic bomb]. Now I can tell the diffrence between the OVA and the Anime Series. XD
BTW, I'm watching it through my DVD box set~
Working!!
funny anime 8)
Taking a look at Zam'd now. Only up to Episode 4, so I'm not sure what to think yet concerning the story. But the imagery is interesting, like combining Miyazaki's works with Akira. And the opening theme is annoyingly catchy, sort of. I kinda like it, but I kinda don't.
I rewatched Spirited Away after all these years. Such a masterpiece. I always liked that movie in comparison to most anime movies.

Eh. It was new to Zomganime. So it's new to me.
I'm watching Kino's Journey now. And some other anime aswell. Go check my anime list if you want.
The World God Only Knows, Bakuman, and Letter Bee Reverse.
I can't be the only one watching the first and the last one can I? :(
Planning to watch The World God Only Knows, but didn't have some time to watch.
Finished watching Kino's Journey and the movies.
Watched 3rd episode of Bakuman today.
Planning to watch Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 in the weekend.
Well being that I watch very little normal TV, I tend to fill that void by watching quite a lot of anime.
Currently, I'm watching Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt, Magic Index II, Iron Man, and The World Only God Knows.
Yes I bastardized one of the titles. I just didn't feel like looking up the proper spelling.
I bought "Strong world" but I haven't seen it yet.
Man, High School of the Dead came to America really quick. The first episode was fun.
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt episode 2. Gainax, I love / hate you so much for making such an awesome anime series!
*After an episode of Haruhi* Mind. Blown. Such mindfuckerry, yikes.
Watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Bakuman and Digimon Xross Wars.
Hm. All of this anime you are talking about..
When I am done with all of Gundam (ALL of it) I can watch some real anime I suppose.
I'm getting annoyed that even the likes of Zeta Gundam is composed of fifty episodes. You could summarise the whole plot in ten. C'monnnnnn compilation movies.
Quack Experimental Anime Excel Saga. Starting on episode 5. XD
Currently those Puyo Puyo shorts while I was checking strategies for Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. Who knew shorts were this entertaining?
QuotePuyo Puyo shorts
Uh. I'll watch those now that I know that they exist.
QuoteQuack Experimental Anime Excel Saga. Starting on episode 5.
Why episode 5. Just because I'm needing to watch that too.
Let's see. I've started Canaan and Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou. The latter I'm sure to enjoy (I can't get enough of Junko's rear end), but I have some reservations for the former. I've had a bad relationship with the Girls with Guns genre. Canaan seems to be faring better than Noir and Madlax so far. Hope it stays that way. I'm also impressed with the dub for it. A couple of the VAs are acting out of their comfort zones. And they're doing well.
Well, I haven't watched much at all lately, but my current list is:
Fairy Tail
Pandora Hearts
Soul Eater
Kekkaishi
Black Cat
Highschool of the Dead
Zatch Bell
My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute (Dear God. Did I just write that? IT'S MY SMALL DOSE OF MOE THAT I NEED TO RELIEVE MYSELF OF THE STRESS OF ACTION ANIME!)
Deltora Quest
Break Blade
And, you guessed it,
Bleach
Ore no Imouto
Panty and Stocking
Ironman
Shinrakyu Ika Musume
Nurahyon no Mago
Digimon Xcros Wars
Saint Seiya:The Lost Canvas
To Aru Majutsu no Index II
Evangelion 2.22 You Can(not) Advance
Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works(over 9 Billion obviously more epic than the Tv Series!)
Finish Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. Next, Kiki's Delivery Service.
Well Zeta Gundam was good;
[spoiler]Over half of the main cast died yay.[/spoiler]
And say what you will about Gundam ZZ, but I'm preferring to watch this light hearted stuff over the usual Gundam series which just take themselves too seriously.

Watch out for the muthafukin' plant. Her whining will drive you mad.
Gunna hit some DGM next chance I get.
Gundam 00, first season;
At first I was like 'I'm here to watch Gundam, not post 9/11 ******** and then 'I would care about this anime more if there were less characters' and then in the end I was like 'Oh. Oh. This.. That was really quite good'. I actually cared about the characters in the end and that is always a good thing.
Then I watched some SEED and in comparison to 00 it's absolute drivel.
Still watching ZZ. And I started on some Space Runaway Ideon, sorta' because of its reputation in relation to Hideaki Anno.
Panty&Stocking. WTF-ish anime of this year.
Going to give One Piece another chance.
Hope this time I get to watch more than 7 episodes.
Tried to watch Super Robot Wars Taisen OG: The Inspector, but couldn't because of the damn ads keep popping up every 14-20 minutes. Of course I was using Anime 44 as an anime host. Finished the first half though, and the anime's animation is fluid, as expected. I like it. XD
Nice way to kick off the anime though, with a bang.
Was recommended an anime. Gonna start watching Zero No Tsakablahblahsomethingorother.
Watching Panty & Stocking on youtube, episode 5.. IN PARTS! (Part 2, which I finished, and Part 1).
EDIT: Episode 5, cleared. I liked it (that can be said, but it's a mixed bag of opinions, plus it's one of the times I watch a later episode of an anime first).
Sure, get the worst one out of the way. It'll make the rest seem even better. Seriously, I felt trolled by that episode.

Wrapped up SRW OG: The Inspector ep1 when the internet connection was at it's best. The entrance of the Thrudgelmir was not too shabby either.
Still waiting on new subs of Rockman EXE Axess...
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. I think I prefer this over Evangelion because it's, happier? I've never seen an anime like this before. This is the sorta' thing I would've loved as a kid.
I just finished watching the second season from Yu Yu Hakusho. You know, that whole hoopla dealing with the Dark Tournament and stuff... Good stuff. 8B
Finished the first season of Zero no Tsukaima, and I'm now on episode two of Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi.
Finished watching Macross Frontier: The False Diva. It was pretty good retelling of Frontier's story, but I think the original anime has a more complete story and ending, but I guess this movie is still worth the watch. The changes they did to the story makes it feel a bit like Macross Zero to me.
Gotta say that my favorite from the Macross series is Macross: Do You Remember Love? My least favorite is Macross Plus (didn't bother with watching Macross II).
Watched episode 1 of Gurren Lagan...Ok I knew about the memes, but I didn't expect them to be all present in the VERY FIRST EPISODE!

Odd, yet pretty cool.
Let's see. I finished Canaan. Very good, lived up to my expectations of a Girls with Guns show. Too bad it's only 13 episodes, though. And I'm getting towards the end of Ichiban Ushiro no Daimao. The plot got really absurd now, really messy, but at least they're not cramming it into 2 episodes. I'm still being entertained, but maybe I have a higher tolerance for this stuff, so I can't recommend the show. I will recommend the opening song, though. It's really good. And I've finished the first seasons of Panty and Stocking and High School of the Dead.
Completed Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu. Simply a masterful movie, and will earn a spot in my favorites list on MAL. Amazing in almost every way, and needless to say, LEAGUES better than that "Endless Eight" mess. Music is fantastic and has pretty good character development (namely Nagato and Kyon). I'll probably rewatch it again later.
(BTW, the MAL user interface seems to be non-responsive at times. Does anyone else have that problem?)
I forgot to mention I'm 3/4 done with Xam'd. ANN's review was right. It's gotten really scatterbrained to the point it's tough to follow everything.
J watched Love Hina and after six episodes he decided to stop for related and unrelated reasons to the show.
Skipped to episode 25 the butt monkey of the show doesn't seem to get better. Hopefully the manga will be better, hopefully.
I watched the 1st ep of Gosick.
Hmmm I am not sure what to think of it..I'll keep an eye on it because I find the main character interesting.
For some reason, I decided to watch Pani Poni Dash!. It was bizarre, to say the least.
Baccano!
...
This is pretty cool, I guess.
I just finished watching Season 3 of Yu Yu Hakusho. Not as fun to watch as Season 2 and it felt kind of slow in the beginning, but the last 4 or 5 episodes were pretty cool.
Gettin' ready to watch the Mirai Nikki OVA. Hope it doesn't suck like OVAs generally do.
Apparently came halfway towards the end of "Cybernetics Guardian" while getting a soda (death of the guy who made the Devil Armor, armor itself changed colors, etc). I love shiz like this~
Let's see. I finished Kaichou wa Maid-sama. The final episode was a bit of a letdown, but I sure enjoyed the ride there. All in all, I really liked it.
I'm taking a look at Koihime Muso. From reading a rather vague description, I was expecting the show to be another Queen's Blade. It's not; it's much more tame. At least so far. I know the OVAs are all fanservice. Disregarding that, it looks like a show you can actually put on TV. Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls, however, that is more like Queen's Blade. Girls in trampy revealing outfits and getting into sword fights. Lots of nudity too, but of course I'm watching the TV version. At least the censorship is creative. I'd much prefer this show's ink blotches over the blinding lights other shows use. Even so, I don't understand why only the TV versions of shows like this are shipped over when they're licensed. There's no way in hell these shows will ever air on cable, they'll be only on DVD and on demand, so what's the problem? Hyakka Ryoran pushes the envelope as it is. Seriously, I'm shocked the part in the opening where Hanzo licks Sen's leg wasn't covered up. What, licking a leg is okay, but going tongue-to-tongue on the Orgy Bus in Highschool of the Dead isn't? I hope Sentai Filmworks actually got the DVD version of Kampfer. Seriously, there's nothing wrong with those swimsuits.
I also saw a couple episodes of Nyan Koi. I am not a cat person in the least, but the show is actually quite funny. And I'm expecting this to turn into a harem rather quickly, but that part of the show was surprisingly absent early on.
Finally for now, there's Hell Girl Three Vessels. The show is becoming a parody of itself at this point. The scares are more comical, and I think the setup is absurd. As is the transformation sequence I'm expecting to show up in every episode now. There's only so many times I will stand to see Hell Girl hatch out of a cocoon growing from a girls back. If she would say "I'm inside you" more often to her, though, I'd laugh my ass off every time.
Taking a look at the Tales of Symphonia OVA series.
Also checking One Piece out finally. It's been years since I watched that bomb.
Nice new pic on your sig, Sato. Just thought I'd say.
Apparently finished an ep of Kore wa zombie desu ka. All I gotta say is, what's up with all these bullshit plot twists popping about lately? I coulda' swore that white knight mute was the serial killer, but turns out she isin't. And apparently has the hots for the main lead while the others still treat him like crap. Add the fact the Literal Doberman mentions a guy in the shadows that we can barely see his shilouette.
Remember those "Monster of the Week" guys they've been killing? Well, they were just trying to do their job and escort the dead to hell, plus those few eps wasted on lighthearted Zombie Bowling. >.>
Eh, guess this shows I'm probably not a fan of this type of stuff, so I should stop watching this before it goes down the PSG route and takes a [parasitic bomb] on the viewers.
I really should take my advice more often and wait about four or five episodes before judging an anime. Based off the first two episodes of Koihime Muso, it seemed innocent enough. Well, I have four episodes under my belt, and yeah, things get sexy. And kinda weird in the case of licking an armpit. And there ain't any censoring on this one, so yay nips. So I was wrong in that you could put it on American TV, but it's still no Queen's Blade yet. There haven't been titties popping out during fights yet, for one thing.
Started watching Turn A Gundam. The only Gundam show I remember watching as a kid is G, so I decided to start watching some of the others. And yes, I know that G Gundam was much less serious than pretty much ever other series.
Just watched Infinite Stratos 5 episodes in a row.
All I can say is..... meh. B(
Now watching FLCL.
Currently Watching:
Soul Eater - Still.
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? - Three girls, one boy. Seems like a general harem anime. Only it's got zombies, necromancers, vampire ninjas, and demon hunting in it. Oh, and let's not forget the crossdressing. No. It's not Rosario+Vampire.
Eiken - Yeah, I might "accidentally" forget about this one. It's just way overkill. I mean, lolis with breasts larger than your entire torso. Yeah, everyone loves that.
FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - ...Bloody.
Pandora Hearts - As epic as always.
Astro Boy (2003) - It's 4kids, without the 4kids.
Astro Boy (Original) - WHOA. THIS [parasitic bomb] IS BLACK AND WHITE. WHAT THE [tornado fang].

Eiken - Yeah, I might "accidentally" forget about this one. It's just way overkill. I mean, lolis with breasts larger than your entire torso. Yeah, everyone loves that.
For some reason I'm suddenly thinking of Yant. Don't ask WHY. >.>
Currently/Planning to Watch:
- Kratos Sensei no Private Lession
- SRW OG: The Inspector

GaoGaiGar FINAL. Nothing else to say, but love it. Man, I like how this sequel of GGG gave you a premise of it's predecessor in the beginning of the episode, heh.

It had potential, although the main character just turns into Keitaro. Although...

Is it not a generic moeblob thing? Because I hate generic moeblob things.
If it was one I wouldn't be watching it. That's why I said it surprised it...also:

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. I love it so much.
It'll be my new trip.
The English dub of Highschool of the Dead started up. I think they're going about it the right way. The language is more colorful, there are at least three F bombs in the first episode alone, and there's hammy parts that just seem appropriate. And it's not the usual Sentai Filmworks subjects in the lead roles either, save for Monica Rial as the nurse. Hell, I've never heard of Takashi's actor before this show.
I'm giving Trigun a rewatch. I'm halfway through. After that I have a bunch of box sets on queue. And there's a bunch of on demand stuff. Only new show is Needless, which isn't too bad.

Was watching that for a while. I had to force myself to continue through it for the most part, unfortunately. Up to episode 4, and will watch another episode to decide if i should drop it or not.
Also watching Gosick. Not too bad, but i wish they would pick up the pacing a bit.

but yeah I kinda found a liking to it.
Well, I'm about to start Madoka. I just hope that THAT scene isn't worse than I imagine (I know it is in the manga which is why I'm not reading that instead) >__<

Yeah, that was pretty good. But i could not watch an episode without directly thinking of TTGL, though i think that was intentional. (Blade/Kamina = triangular shades, open shirt, GAR -- Eve/Yoko = busty, skimpy outfit, sidekick of sorts)
Yeah it has to be a shoutout/parody.
I just watched Heartcatch Precure the Movie, even though I only watched like few minutes + screenshots on 4Chan of the series.
Even so, I can safely say this was the most awesomely animated, heartwarming and beautiful animu thing I have seen since the Layton movie.
Seriously, go watch it! Especially if you've seen the series and liked it.
Caught up on SRWOG: The Inspector (AKA: The Manly Hour).
Recently watched: Welcome to the Space Show!
Hellsing Ultimate~! I'm still waiting for your new episodes =w=a Meanwhile I shall oogle at the blood and guts and guns.
Nodame Cantabile! I'm usually not one for stuffs this girly but it's surprisingly good. And it's about music, which I'm weak for.

The Trigun anime was already good enough and followed the plot to some extent. I actually prefer the way it leads through events as opposed to the manga (which is also good, just not as goood, IMO). Badlands Rumble was exactly what we needed. Stuff that doesn't fit in the anime, but what the hell, it's amazingly good anyway.
Man, I miss the 90's... there was such good stuff back then. None of this moe garbage.
Krystal: I know of that one flashback, so well... they stopped right before Brat Walter, huh.
Flash: Was Slayers from nineties? I kinda forget when it was made... but whatever, I love Slayers to this day. I even own two osts from NEXT, one from TRY plus a collection of vocal songs and... two cd dramas. : P
I at least got myself two new series in the recent years, but they were more like fanservice. : < Good fanservice, but still.
But yeah, those were such good times. Magic Knight Rayearth, Sailor Moon, Slayers, Dragon Ball Z and some other things I don't remember now. : <
Yep, it was from '96.
Back when Japan liked femme fatales rather than lolis.
Oh don't get me wrong I liked the Trigun anime. In fact it was the first 'serious' anime that I watched (dubbed as well) and I had loved it~ But there were always these little things I didn't really get.
I later read the manga and things make more sense after completion and
[spoiler]
Awww man Wolfwood's manga death was ;A;
[/spoiler]
I think overall the manga was more satisfying that and I'm weak to still images and moar ax crazy!Legato so I'd like to see it done if only for the epic action scenes.
I didn't hate Badlands Rumble, but the plot was a paper thin excuse to bring back all that we loved. It worked, but I still want my completion >O
Also, lusting for the 90s? My my, don't we sound old.
I will agree the moe crap we get nowadays is terribad though. You know, because KyoAni starts doing it and everyone else is following lead. And also story doesn't matter anymore because fanservice is more popular. :U

I lusted for the 90's because if I lusted for the 80's, people would call me old. >_> I guess you youngsters are more whippersnappers than I thought.
And I liked the anime more, because it was simpler. The manga sometimes crashed and burned with some characters being more than they should have been. The anime kept everything neat and simple, and explained it all. That, and I don't really like the manga art much. Just like Hellsing, it's too confusing for me to tell what the hell is going on sometimes.
Badlands Rumble was perfect. It didn't mess with the perfect canon we have, and it gave us more of the same. The plot was more of the same of the first half of the anime, and it bore no relevance to the overall story. All in all, it's awesome.

You know, this kind of thing like in the Batman example you posted, is often seen in the Megaman NT Warrior/Rockman EXE manga.
Or at least similar.
But it was drawn by a guy who also did a KoF manga... sooo...
Panel to panel transition during fight coreographies is VERY important. The best manga I've ever seen on this regard, was Battle Royale. It really had an amazing style when it came to that.
(http://3.p.s.mfcdn.net/store/manga/17/01-006.0/compressed/Battle_Royale_v01_155.jpg)
It's still my favorite manga in terms of art/panelling.
>_o I don't find either of those difficult to understand...at all.
To be honest, I find relying solely on action-to-action panels in action comics to feel a bit stiff and slow. Which is why I prefer manga better. There are a lot more aspect-to-aspect panels in Asian comics which can make the scene feel a lot more frantic.
In real life you don't watch things like a fly on a wall, right? The eye travels, and manga capitalises on this to shift the audience's focus in order to imply some things rather than show it. There are moments that are crystal clear, still.
Well...I don't really get your problem \(^o^)/

Comics rarely have action-to-action panels. Mostly, they have stills of battles, and sometimes, they have this kind of coreography which I'm showing you. But reading comics, you can see the whole thing animate in your head. Which is harder to do in all-over-the-place manga. See, it's easy to make comics heavily detailed and still with a crapload of frantic action, always moving.
Thing is, stories aren't supposed to be like real life. They're supposed to show you the various angles of things in the best way possible to comprehend the whole scenario around it, and everything that moves. If you have to look around and decode the pic a bit to figure out what kind of move they're doing, it's lost. It should be read as fast as the story is progressing.
1 still = 1 battle? Reeeeally?
'This kind of choreography' = Action-to-action.
Also, I'm not too sure about you, perhaps it's a personal thing, perhaps it's a cultural thing, or maybe it's just the difference between how people go about with life, but I never have to pause or think whilst reading either comics or manga.
And that is me.
But I prefer it when things work out more like the way it does for me irl. You know, immersion and all that?
That, and technically, a story is a metaphor for real life >_>

It's always action-to-action, every comic and manga is. The difference is making it clear how many of the actions are actually put in there.

It's more likely a personal thing, but actually, thinking is a way of understanding. You cannot possibly fully understand Watchmen without stopping to think at certain points, and exploring other words and panels. Decoding certain things is also a way to figure out what's going on. But action should never be stopped. And I think that manga like Trigun and Hellsing has some problems when it comes to transition-to-transition. It's probably my own problem with the really rushed art, but some stuff doesn't really seem to connect fully into the rest at the proper speed. How some characters got from one position to another don't really make full sense.

If my scanner wasn't an old piece of [parasitic bomb] incompatible with Win7 x64 I would post some scans as examples of how the battles are in NT Warrior manga.
If it's not one still, then there are panel transitions. And that's what we're discussing, right? >_>a

Each panel is a still of something, but the space between panels is a transition. A transition can be of several classifications, the most popular in everything, being a action-to-action transition.
I'm using Scott McCloud's comic terminology for the record, as there isn't actually much else of a standard in the comic industry.
You have to think during exposition, but comic or manga, you don't think during action scenes, I believe we both understand this.
Now for me, if panel transitions in action scenes miss a small detail like a character shifting their stance or position, it really doesn't contribute much to me being confused. Frantic is frantic, we all miss little details when things move fast, I don't let it bother me.
If you leave out an important detail though, then yeah maybe one could get confused, like "where in the world did he get that BFG?" (Unless it's hammerspace played for laughs)
I don't like it when they show me everything that happens because I get bored.

EVERYTHING depends on the montage. If a panel fits directly the panel that comes after. My point is that some panels in Trigun and Hellsing do not. Things like changing a small stance don't bother me, but completely different actions that don't flow one towards the other, do. The art also makes it a bit hard to see what type of movement is being made on the single frame sometimes. That's pretty much the whole gist of it.
It's like two pieces of a puzzle that don't fit together. It doesn't "feel" right.
They work perfectly fine for me.
But arguing whether it works or not is moot, considering that at the moment, I cannot see your point without evidence.
(That, and is it really okay to be arguing about this in here? >_>a)

Watching that Subaru anime made by Gainax. Anyone else watched?
Currently Watching:
Cowboy Bebop - This... Is... Some... Awesome... [parasitic bomb].
Code Geass - I decided to start this again, since I never legitimately finished it, first off, and secondly, over the past few weeks I was blasted with LOADS of nostalgia from it.
I actually finished rewatching Trigun not too long ago. Barely remembered the ending. It was good.
Also finished Hyakka Ryoran. Pretty meh ending, but what do you expect from a fanservicey show like that? But even with the creative censoring, I'm surprised you can show Gisen's actions on TV.
Last weekend we had the 2nd Anime Marathon in our Polish cinema network. This time it included:
- Evangelion 1.11 (GREAT SUCCESS!)
- Porco Rosso
- Ghost in the Shell
- Ghost in the Shell: Innocence
- Blood: the Last Vampire
- Ponyo
- Laputa - Castle in the Sky
- Wonderful Days (it was the first time I saw a Korean movie, it was quite nice)
- Perfect Blue
There was also free green tea, free sushi, kendo show, go, mahjong, drawing, calligraphy, mini-lesson of Japanese, posters, and 2 contest. All of this for mere ~20$. My ass still hurts (come on, 9 movies in 2 days), but I can't for the next one!
I'm watching Black Lagoon. It's pretty cool. I finished off the first season last night. I just started watching The Second Barrage.
Watched Tokyo Godfathers and a few episodes of Full Metal Panic with some buddies. T'was fun.
Watching the first episode of Nichijou right now.
Well, apparently crashing with a boy on the street triggers a gigantic explosion, who knew? The opening is pretty fun and random, who doesn't love a girl with a machine gu-wait, do the credits say "Hyadain"? As in THE Hyadain? Holy [parasitic bomb] o__O
Posted on: April 03, 2011, 12:53:49 AM
Well, finished the first episode. I have no other way to describe this than completely random.
Oh yeah, I also caught up with Madoka. It was pretty good actually, you guys should watch it too. I mean, just look at this guy, how can you say no to such an adorable thing

Until you find about his true purpose...
Good to see that I am not the only one watching this series. Quite dark for a Mahou Shoujo type genre.
I have no idea what you're talking about /(◕‿‿◕)\
[spoiler]lol at the universe literally being fueled by the suffering of little girls[/spoiler]
Ares is watching it too and even changed his name to (◕‿‿◕) for a while actually. It's just that he left.
What, really!? Too bad this series is on hold indefinitely. I really wonder how it will end since
[spoiler=Really, its big spoilers if you haven't seen it.]most of the Puella Magi have died. Seeing as the timeline where its just Madoka and Homura fight failed, I bet its going to end the same way.[/spoiler]
I'm pretty sure it resumes this month, probably this week even.
[spoiler]Homura does what Kyoko did and Madoka is left all alone. That, everybody dies, or the fan speculation that Walpurgist whatever is actually Homura ends up being true and she somehow defeats it just to turn into it herself[/spoiler]
Being the author it is I don't expect anything happy at all.
Guh. I really the series. Helps that Kalafina does the ED.
On another note, just finished:
Asura Cryin' 1&2: Really, I understood the whole anime until near the end, put hat shows how good it was if it can keep your interest until then.
Dragon Crisis: I am a sucker with anything Dragon related. It was good series with nice character development that at least outdoes other harems. :P

Yup, this is the new Azumanga Daioh.
But yeah, Hyadain does the OP. The weird thing is that Hyadain was actually a pro before he got into the doujin scene with his remixes and stuffs. But he got so famous as a doujin musician that he's much more well recognised as Hyadain than as himself. Lots of doujin musicians actually 'go pro' by starting off doing anime theme songs and such (eg. IOSYS and Merry) but Hyadain was already pro and now he's 'going pro' as his doujin persona and...yeah it's weird. I found it so weird when my friend told me.
PS: He didn't use to sing though, so I guess that's a plus.

Oh my [tornado fang]ing god @ the newest Gintama episode, if it wasn't late at night I'd be literally LOLing and ROFLing XD
PLEASE tell me someone else watches this.
By newest you mean the timeskip one?
Then yes I did yesterday.
Also watched Tiger and Bunny just now.
It could be the best anime this season imo.

Yes, exactly that one. There SO needs to be a GIF of Shinpachi running, seriously.
Also watched the first 2 episodes of X-Men btw. It's good so far unlike Ironman and Wolverine (which I haven't seen myself yet, I'm just saying from the impressions of others). Oh yeah, and Storm's hot, weird to see her so look so young though.
Started watching Natsume Yujincho. it is one of the most calmest, touching animes I have seen. Good to see that there is anime that doesn't included harems, fighting robots or romantic drama tha is pretty successful.
So speaking of Yumekui Merry, I finally bothered to watch the last episode.
What the [tornado fang] was that? I wish Japan would finally learn that anime original endings are terrible and that they shouldn't do them.
Finished Koihime Musou. It's silly, there's boobs, but the action isn't very exciting at all. The show just kinda felt empty overall. And then there's the two Shin Koihime Musou seasons, which I imagine will just be more of the same. Meh, I'll watch them if I'm bored.
Finished rewatching Welcome to the NHK. It definitely deserves a high rank on my anime Top 10. I recommend it to anyone who considers themselves an anime fan. It's very telling. And this was actually the first time I heard the last 6 episodes or so dubbed. I may give him a lot of [parasitic bomb] sometimes, but Chris Patton is incredible in this series.
Also checking out Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka. I wasn't sure at first, but I kept following the 5 episode rule, and I'll stick with it. In the beginning it was kinda dull to me, but things are starting to get better now. The character development is certainly helping.

..that didn't even count as a final episode IMHO...others atleast try with their 'original' endings...

Considering that Chizuru, Leon, Ijima and Mistilteinn don't exist in the manga, it was more original than most others with original endings.

It's dissapointing because there is no real ending in the anime..it simply stopped. And honestly, I like the anime more than the manga for some reason >.>
I never really watched the anime, but manga tends to be better than anime in most cases, so what you just said piques my interest.
Though I doubt I'll ever get the chance to watch Anime some time soon.
Let's see..
Yesteray was anime so.. Half an ep of Zombie (Spoiler Alert! Hellscythe leaves the party.. for now), following a sampler of FLCL (The OVA with the burn't-down school). Day before that was a Ghibli film Pom Poko (Like all Ghibli films, I highly recommend it!). That has got to be one of the highlights of anime for this week. Monday was an random anime short (forgot the title). Now for Tiger & Bunny (IF I ever get to it..).
For the Wolerine anime it was meh, in my opinion. 3rd time a Marvel character has gone to Japan though, I think it's getting old. >.>
And usually I end up watching anime anyway from the kitchen while getting a sandwhich, sometimes it gets distracting.

I only just finished the last quarter of DGM after... 3 years (?) of me not being able to get it. 'Disappointing' was exactly how I felt about it, now that I'd just seen the end of the anime.
Also everyone should marathon FLCL for the first time at the end of a normal/boring/tiring. day.
Not watched FLCL in ages...
Just finished both seasons of Natsume Yuujinchou. I have to say this is one of my most favorite animes. I love the calmness of it and its animation never failed to amaze me. I can't wait for season 3.

Old original series of Yu-Gi-Oh!, did you know that it's the 10th Anniversary of the series?
Today's episode I saw was when Evil Marik and Evil Bakura were dueling in the Shadow Realm, and Bakura has took "The Winged Dragon of Ra" from Marik's hand due to the effect of Magic/Spell Card, "Card Exchange".

Watched Dead Leaves.
My brain took another acid trip of awesome.
Just watched Evangelion 2.22. Wow. That was crazy. Also finished the second series of You're Under Arrest. It ended on a nice note, but I imagine just like from series 1 to 2, Ken and Miyuki's relationship will be back to square 1 in series 3. And I've now seen up to Episode 6 dubbed of Highschool of the Dead. It's creative take on the script has officially won me over. One line in particular in ep6. I'm not going to spoil it, but it's kind of like Kyon's "Super Size Me!" in the Haruhi dub in that it's American popculture and you don't see it coming at all.

I'm still waiting on that Episode 13. Or was it 12?
Watching a handful of new anime that started airing recently. Deadman Wonderland and Ao no Exorcist are shaping up to be really entertaining. Deadman's beginning felt rushed, but i'm loving the dark atmosphere that the show has.

Well, I totally enjoyed Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. While the ending left me a bit off, it still was a great anime with top-notched anime and storytelling. I hope someone finishes this anime so I can discuss the last... "details"...

Hi
Quote from: Solar on April 23, 2011, 08:43:12 AM
Hi
[spoiler=Ending for Series of MSMM]So instead of witches, there are demons stemmed from the curses of the world. Madoka erased the existence of witches, meaning all the Puella Magi that have became Witches, were erased (including Sayaka). This also means the Puella Magi simply disappear if their time is up, I think? Finally, There will be a second series for the kickass way that Homura decided to appear after the credits, in order to maybe save Madoka... My hypothesis.[/spoiler]
Does it sound right to you...?
[spoiler=Other people's interpretation that I agree with]Madoka pretty much becomes a force of nature/a moe loli version of the grim reaper for magical girls and retcons history so that no magical girl ever turned into a witch by purifying and disappearing their soul gem before they become a witch and die. Becaue of that she retconned herself out of existence too so nobody really remembers her other than Homura. The new fixed timeline is overall better and magical girls don't suffer as much and actually get to fight for what they believe instead of pretty much just being cattle. In the ending scene, Homura is pretty much at the end of her life (notice corrupted wings), which is why she finally hears Madoka again, they're about to reunite.[/spoiler]
Also, I demand fanart of Cleopatra's, Queen Himiko's, Joanne d'Arc's, and Anne Franks magical girl forms >:O
i just finished madoka today
it was kinda meh in my opinion
madoka is overrated

Watch Legend of the Legendary Heroes.
Seriously, this show need more love.
DO EET FAGGORT!
Let's see. I've rewatched Full Metal Panic and am starting to go through Fumoffu again. Almost done with the HotD dub. Started watching the dub for Clannad After Story. I think Sanae's voice actress changed, and for the worse. Also checking out Infinite Stratos.
B-gata H-kei. Pretty funny anime. Ecchi.
I guess I was wrong after about Sanae in After Story. Same actress still. Her voice just sounded off in the first two episodes. It got better in the third. HOTD is done. I've also watched the OVA. Good lord, that OVA. It's [tornado fang]ing nuts. Finished Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka not too long ago. Yay incest! Or is it? The subs weren't exactly clear on that.
I've also been watching Birdy the Mighty: Decode this week, trying to finish it before it expires from Hulu. It's very good, much better than I was expecting. Considering what the main character wears, the show has quite a lot of taste. Sex appeal is most of the time an afterthought.
I'm also going to take a look at Angel Beats dubbed and the simulcast of Tiger and Bunny. And though it's not exactly anime, the new Voltron cartoon is tonight. I'm genuinely curious about that.
Watching Steins;Gate, by recommendation from my certain friend...
Am on episode 11.
There's everything in this, time travel, mind fucks, mystery, and [parasitic bomb].
And yes, I'm aware it's originally a VN, but since it's apparently not translated, I'll rather watch the anime.
Re-watched Death Note. Almost forgot how [tornado fang]ing brilliant it was. I used to really hate Near when i first saw him because he "replaced" L, but he's not too bad. He deducted Kira's identity WAY too quickly though. I never got that.
been watching steins;gate
the show is ok but the hentai are AMAZING lol
Somebody suggest something to me.
And by that I mean point me to the first episode, or else I'm going to forget to look for it.

On another note I've been watching Maria Holic, I like it so far.
Posted on: July 29, 2011, 12:35:36 AM
Finished up the first season of Maria Holic, solid series.
Currently on Episode 4 of Baka No Test, so far its pretty good.

Oh, Baka Test! That's a pretty fun show, in fact I'm currently watching the second season.
It hasn't been quite as good as the first one and the OVA so far, but it's starting to look up a little and there's still 8 episodes to go so we'll see.
Mawaru PenguinDrum. The anime is INCREDIBLY weird, but I can't stop watching it!
The Survival strategy scenes never fail to make me go "WTF?! o-O"

I'm on episode 2 of Baka and Test season 2.
Like Archer said, its not as good as the first season yet. I haven't been able to watch the OVA yet, so if anybody can point me to it I'd be much obliged.

FFFpeeps (http://fffansubs.org/?cat=282)? You should probably get around to it before you get to the second season's fifth episode, since things that happened in the OVA have to do with that episode's plot.
Ah, much obliged.
I haven't watched episode 3 of Season 2 yet so definitley not at episode 5 yet (Which is the most recent one Funimation has up anyway.)
Just watched Garzey's Wing dubbed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nvhv3V42nCI).
Hilariously terrible, I haven't been that amused in ages.
just finished the two Baka Test OVA's. Great stuff there, very funny. Back to Season 2, currently on episode 4.
Posted on: August 19, 2011, 03:29:32 AM
And I've caught up and finished episode 8.
[spoiler]All I can say is, Akhisa in a Sailor Shirt that is clearly too small for him. 8D[/spoiler]
As of now, i'm sorta just skipping around different shows. I've mainly been watching Hanasaku Iroha, which isn't too bad. It's not original by any means, but it's fairly well constructed in story and character development. Some of the "surprise" plot points can be spotted a mile away and sometimes drags on for too long. I do enjoy watching it in general nonetheless.
Episode 37 of Rockman EXE Axess was finally subbed and released earlier this month, so I watched that.
But aside from that... no anime right now.
^ Thanks for the tip, Meta!
No prob! And it's a rather hilarious episode too...
Watching the dub of Demon King Daimao. It has some problems. The script is weird at times, not just poor wording but grammatical errors once in a while. I've heard a few occasions where Akuto's full name was spoken last name first. It's got pronunciation problems too, but what else is new for Sentai Filmworks? I swear, whenever there's an e, they never get the word right. In this show for example, instead of Eiko, they say it like Aiko. But the biggest blemish is Kena's voice actress. She's flat out terrible. Horribly miscast for the role, and it almost sounds like English wasn't her first language. It reminds me too much of Bible Black's dub. And not in a good way. It's a shame, cause the rest of the dub is very good so far.
Also just finished Angel Beats. It was really good. You can tell it was shorter than it was planned to be, but unlike most 13 episode anime, the pacing felt right. The ending didn't feel rushed at all.
And I'm watching Maria Holic Alive. It is [tornado fang]ing hilarious, just like the first series. I could really use a rewatch of the first series, though, cause everything in the second overlaps with the first.
Finally got around to Episode 9 of Baka Test Ni.
Holy [tornado fang]. [parasitic bomb]'s crashing hard now.
[spoiler]Apparently after this point in the story Minami gets downgraded to an extra while Himeji starts adopting her personality. Way to [tornado fang] up, author.[/spoiler]

It's amazing how suddenly everyone is taking this show so seriously.
Though I think I'm misunderstanding something here. Akihisa's whole thing is to be retarded as [tornado fang], so why is everyone raging when he does something retarded as [tornado fang]?
Did I miss something here?

To be honest I think I missed something too.
I think people are mainly pissed because they decided to show episode 8 before this one.
That and a lot of people don't like Himeji for being a "Useless plot-device moeblob with no personality."
blame /a/.

Digimon Xros Wars.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal

You know, for a series which seems to be clearly more geared towards kids, this has a lot of NOT kid friendly stuff.

The only thing similar to GX is that the characters go to school... and they DON'T learn how to play cards there. It's a normal school.
Main character is a [tornado fang] up. He loses so often, it's just funny.
Overall Zexal is heaps better than GX.
I'm up to Episode 20 of FMP, once its finished I'll speed through Fumoffu and Second Raid. Then after that I'll have to search for something new.
I'm up to Ep 24 of Digimon Xros Wars, and it's actually really good.
I'm rather pleased with it myself. ^.^
FMP: Done
FMP Fumoffu: Done
FMP 2nd Raid: Ep 3.
Tomorrow I'll finish 2nd Raid, then I'll probably start Maria Holic Alive and check to see if Baka Test Ni ep 11 has subs yet.
After that.... I'll need suggestions.
For the Meantime no Madoka, probably because I'd rather get done with series I've already mostly finished or want to get sequels (MH Alive) out of the way. On a tight schedule, y'know.

I don't know, I just like the progression and the humor in it. Also, the fact it's Digimon. XD

Well, things really went into complete seriousness quickly.
Second Raid finished. Very solid.
Now onto the next thing... I'll wait till tomorrow, I'm tired.

I've wanted to start that show for the longest. But those 500+ episodes are intimidating. :P
I dropped One Piece at episode 200-something ages ago.
It's not bad or anything, I just can't be bothered with it.
I'll just read the manga when it's finished (whenever that is).

I started knowing it too late to even to watch/read it or have much interested in One Piece.
Those many many episodes and chapters had me stop from trying to get interested in it, or rather...it creeped me out to even try. Im just not strong enough/too lazy to read the whole thing....and....the manga's art is kinda blurry/scattered for my eye's to read.....orz
or probably just me don't like mainstreams shows/anime....
WELP-

Ika Musume 2nd-another continuation of a comic relief show to watch
-Fate/ZERO-I'm a noob in the Fate franchise, so i probably dont know much about it while watching it. Fate/Stay Night anime is just screwy or Im being plain dumb not understanding it.

Done Watching
-Steins;Gate-Science Physic Logic+Time Travel+Time Loop+Final Destination, I'll probably read the VN later.

Blue Exorcist was a wonderful anime, I hope it gets renewed for a second season in 2012.
Haven't updated in a while. Let's see.
I finished You're Under Arrest Full Throttle and Maria Holic Alive. Almost done with the dubs of Demon King Daimao and Clannad After Story. Started Hidamari Sketch Hoshimitsu. And the X-Men anime started up on G4 last night. Wolverine looks a little off, but maybe that's just cause I'm used to the other anime Wolverine. At least it's Steve Blum this time. Storm's new look, though, holy [parasitic bomb]. After that they showed Viper's Creed. Don't know what to make of that yet.
Also watched Mardock Scramble. Kinda interesting, but the ending kinda confused me. Maybe cause I was starting to fall asleep 5/6 of the way through.
And I'm about a third of the way through MM!. The jokes get tired sometimes, but this is still a pretty funny show. The characters are the main draw. Everyone is [tornado fang]'d up someway or another. Sadists, masochists, voyeurs, crossdressers, incestuous mother and sister. It's mostly played for laughs, but there are some genuine serious moments where characters actually get to deal with their problems a bit. And the opening song is infectious. The hilarious gratuitous engrish helps.
Fate/zero
The latest episode was mostly Saber/Gilgamesh centric, so even though there wasn't any fighting, it was very interesting. And I was totally caught off guard when Bill Clinton popped up on Waver's TV screen.

wasn't the lastest ep. the Saber vs Lancer fight?
Watching Persona 4, pretty good. I'm gonna keep watching it.
Watching Future Diary. My head asplode. This anime is [tornado fang]ing awesome! So tense, shocking, and creepy! So glad my friend recommended this anime to me!

Nichijou.
.... My god what am I getting myself into?
Watched some anime called Colorful.
Random as hell, and honestly not terribly funny. There were some scenes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDssbjT8MFc) here and there that made me chuckle, some will make you go WTF, but overall it's ok. Overly perverted, but not nearly as good as Kanokon.
I haven't seen Colorful in ages. But even back then I didn't like it. There's better perverted [parasitic bomb].
Speaking of which I finished MM! No resolution to anything in the plot, but you know how these shows work. And I don't think there were enough shenanigans with Taro's mother ans sister. Still a funny show though.
I'm also checking out Ray the Animation and giving To-love-ru another shot.
Fate/Zero. I summarized what happened so far, and it's quite intresting how they handled the series' maturity without the series' titular characters so far. Around 05:25, I feel that was good enough, and to take a break. This anime feels long, but I'll adjust to it sometime when I get around to finishing it, I'm used to 05:00 being the halfway point in (most) anime, it's pretty long. (around 42:00 I belive for the first half at Anime44, I'd dread watching it on youtube with this string of parts!) (LORD) Kiritsugu was a good way to kick the episode off though.
After Many years of shunning it for no good reason other than intolerance for lots of talking in my TV shows when I was a kid, i've finally decided to start watching Gundam. Starting from the very beginning, eventually working my way up through what is available to me (Eventually I'll end up hitting Wing, when I can finally put my headache-filled adolescence of watching Toonami only to do something else because Gundam or a WB Animated Series, not just action series, came on and shortly after I miraculously got a [tornado fang]ing headache, can be put to rest.)
I should be more clear on what series I will be watching:
-Mobile Suit Gundam (Finished)
-Zeta Gundam (4/50)
-Gundam Wing
-G Gundam
-Gundam SEED
-Gundam SEED Destiny
-Gundam 00
I'll also be watching the OVA's:
-Char's Counterattack
-0080: War in the Pocket
-0083: Stardust Memory
-The 08th MS Team
I'll be updating this with my current progress periodically.
Do yourself a favor and avoid SEED: Destiny, if you can. I got a lot of memories thanks to a cop-out episode.
Currently watching:
Persona 4 - Animation
Mirai Nikki (just as [tornado fang]'d up as ever)
One Piece
Hunter X Hunter
Also looking into finding some Cyborg 009 after having a nostalgia blast the other day. Kinda looking for some new stuff though, especially with a serious action kick. Old and new school suggestions are welcome.
Finally got around to watching Steins;Gate.
Made it up to episode 13, and you know what? I HATE LIFE NOW.
[spoiler]AAAAUUUGGGGHHH Mayuri!! She's not dead! She's can't be! UUUUGGGHHHH WHY GOD OH WHY?!?[/spoiler]
Well Iv read the VN of it and never made it that far yet....though already done watching the anime

That's what I don't get sometimes about anime and it's producers. Gainax seem like heartless trolls until you watch their earlier work. Another western comparison is My Little Pony, due to similar reaction from fans and conception (in a sense of the formation of the production team, not the show itself), I wouldn't take it too seriously.
In other news, I just watched Fairy Tail last night. Latest episode felt like a total filler.. :\
Technically I've started a lot of shows, but I'm not even bothering to watch all of them because I'm lazy. Or the shows themselves are just plain boring (looking at you Kimi to Boku., whatever possessed me to start you I have no idea.)
What I'm actually currently watching is Fate/Zero, Persona 4 the Animation, Shakugan no Shana III and The iDOLM@STER (lol).
I'll get around to the others... eventually. Or maybe I'll just start something on my backlog instead, it's growing quite big.
Episode 11 of Fate/zero was fantastic to say the least. Great dialog there. But goddamn, like 80% of the episode had horrid animation.
What animation?
Just finished Steins;Gate.

Protip: cut down on the emotes.
Also you may think its the greatest, its a matter of opinion, I personally haven't gotten to it yet.
Finally catching up on Madoka, I'm going for 3 episodes a day, so tomorrow I'll be halfway through it.
I watched the whole thing in two afternoons...my experience was Meh.
Going back into MSG, if there are any real good Gundam Series/OVA's that I am missing from my list please recommend them to me so I can add them into the lineup.
Other than that my current standings for my other shows that I am currently watching:
K-ON! (1/24)
Madoka (3/12)
Oreimo (6/15)
I should probably look into making a MAL.

Anyway.
Steins;Gate might not be the best anime in existence, but... it's a VERY GOOD ANIME. And from what I see, it's also a good adaptation of the visual novel sooo...
Yeah, I was planning on getting to that once I finished up with Madoka.
I'm mainly going off of stuff that shows up on /a/ frequently, so apologies if this is kind of a [parasitic bomb] list. Hell if I forget about K-ON again i'm probably going to drop it.

Just Started Zeta Gundam, Apparently from what I've been hearing Episode 11 is blocked off by AnimeChannel on Youtube in the US (Despite the fact that they're using the English Dub.) And apparently Wing was available till they decided to make it private, Gundam 00 is the only other Gundam series available on Youtube at the moment. So Wing, G Gundam, SEED/Destiny, and the OVA's will have to wait until I can locate the Dubbed versions (I've started with dub so I'm not going to switch to Subs for no reason in the middle.)

Yeah, I have issues when googling things, mainly because I almost never find what I am looking for.
EDIT: Ah, this place is heaven for somebody who prefers dubs if they are available. Sure I have to download stuff (Not a big deal since I have the Storage for it, its the download times combined with a shitty internet connection that has a tendency to cut off larger downloads making me have to start from scratch every time.) But other than that this will do nicely.
Completed Trigun.
Pretty entertaining watch, although the beginning is boring, It gets interesting later on when you find out the source of Vash's ideals. The characters as a whole don't really leave an impression on me, I found Vash to be the only person to stick out in the entire series. Wolfwood was okay, and Knives was decent. The problem is they focused on Vash's personality and past too often, not leaving room for other characters to develop (Wolfwood was the only other person to change and question his choice of killing). For an anime created in the 90s, the quality is definitely passable and the unique "wild" western feel is appreciated. Overall, I gave the series a solid 8/10.
Along with that, I also completed Trigun: Badlands Rumble. The best thing going for it being the stunningly beautiful animation and detail. As expected from a modern Madhouse production (released 2010). An okay movie, but not nearly as enjoyable as the series. Sure, they captured Vash's personality to act like an idiot and flirt with beautiful women to no end, but the plot and characters undeniably felt boring and sloppy.
I will praise the staff for improving on the western-type atmosphere of Gunsmoke planet. The variety of people in the bars and in the streets have unique traits and quirks to them, which the original series lacked in. Not to mention Vash has a brand new outfit, although it technically makes no sense since this takes place during the series (unless this is an alternate version of the story). I gave it a 7/10. Loved that they maintained the charm from the series, but the terrible filler plot leaves much to be desired. I would've liked them to continue from where the series left off.
Now that those are out of the way, I've started Full Metal Panic, which is shitty so far...
Hm, what don't you like about FMP so far?
Finishing up Macross Frontier.
I marathoned the rest of FMP. Basically, the only somewhat enjoyable character was Sousuke. I hated Kaname to death, seriously, she's one of the most annoying main characters I've seen. Sousuke has to put up with her [parasitic bomb] in every episode. From the story point of view, It's not like this show is trying to avoid the cliche. Same cocky "best friend" and female partner who has to put him in his place. Secret anti-terrorist organization using super-skilled teenagers.
But even with the cliches, an anime can still be well developed and climatic. Unfortunately, this was not the case with FMP. It all felt underwhelming and had a few episodes where I didn't give a [tornado fang] what would happened (like the paintball contest between Tessa and Mao). The ONLY battles I enjoyed were the conflicts between Sousuke and Gauron. Overall, average series, with a handful of decent episodes.
I moved on to FMP: The Second Raid to see if it improved on the first series, and so far, It doesn't disappoint. Animation is beautiful and fluid. Can't judge on story quite yet. But from what I've read about it, Second Raid is the superior series in every way.
So I'm gathering that you mainly didn't care for the High-School aspect of the series?
Yeah, Second Raid pretty much eliminates that and goes more for the serious military aspect. Which in my opinion wasn't a great move (I actually liked the High-School Comedy parts.) But Fumoffu took care of the silly aspect of the show so it wasn't really needed (or practical since TSR is only 13 episodes long)
Chances are if they actually put more development into the Whispered storyline the first series could've been more intresting (And Kaname would've had an actual purpose outside of "Tacked on Love Interest who is not very loveable"), but it seems that they completely dropped it with few mentions of it later on (Second Raid... IIRC they only mention it once.)
And the only "Teenagers" in Mithril are Sousuke and Tessa, Maybe Kurz (Young adult, maybe?), but Mao isn't, and the rest of the staff look to be 30-50.
Shame they didn't try and adapt any of the other books in the series, I would've liked to see the rest (As lets face it, Mecha action really doesn't work without motion.).
Anywho, putting all series I'm currently watching (Re-dropped K-on since I'm never going to remember to watch it.) on hold till I finish FSN.
To me, It seemed that the first series was primarily High School "romance/comedy", and secondary militaristic fighting. And that was a problem for me. Granted, I can't deny that some situations were amusing.

The complete opposite for me. I finished up The Second Raid, and I loved how much more mature and rooted it was from its predecessor. Kaname disappeared for half the series, which was a huge plus, although she was somehow made more tolerable than before. The action was fantastic, the darker atmosphere was appreciated and the music was solid. I especially liked the contradictory orders given to confuse that traitor.
The comedy aspects actually made me laugh, and there wasn't a surplus amount like in the first series. THIS sequel right here is how it should have started off. The direction and script writing is fantastic, much better than the less-than-great FMP. Second Raid seemed to take a more focused direction to keep you hooked throughout.

That [sonic slicer] had so many chances to tell him. The dude gave up on the world when he thought Gauron had killed her, then she comes marching in "from the dead" with assaults? Not to mention the series ends with Sousuke asking her what she was about to tell him back in China (when she was about to confess), replying with "it's nothing".
Regardless, Second Raid was superb. I loved almost every minute of it. There's still some mysteries that need answering though, like who that black-haired woman with the binoculars was (last episode), among a couple others. I hope they make a sequel, TV or movie would be fine.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed Second Raid. But I missed the High-School Comedy part, needless to say Fumoffu took care of it so I can't really be all that sad about it. :P
And the Music has always been solid with FMP, TSR is no exception.
I just watched Elfen Lied for the first time and all I have to so say is "Wow... Just wow."
Why would you watch Elfen Lied at all
Because loli killing spree...duh?
That, and a combination of boredom and curiosity. I've seen people mention it a few times on a couple of message boards in the past. I expected the blood and the violence, I didn't expect the dog killing scene and the incest vibes from Kouta and Yuka.
Almost done with FMP Fumoffu. I'm surprised how funny it turned out to be, it's more creative than the comedy aspects of the main series.
Started two other anime: New Prince of Tennis, and Seitokai Yakuindomo (OVA).
Haven't seen the previous Prince of Tennis series in ages, but anime has a way of even making TENNIS a high-speed, action packed super sport. Seitokai Yakuindomo gave me quite a laugh, with the sheer amount of sex jokes and randomness, the OVA fairs no differently.
Watched Episode of Bardock not too long ago. It was pretty meh actually.
Also finished Ray the Animation. It was good when it was a medical drama, but when the Maximum Clonage business came to the forefront and there was no miracle surgery, it was not interesting at all.
Checking out Yokuwakaru Gendaimahou. Not too bad so far, even though the episode order was all over the place at first. And not like Haruhi. It was bouncing from one arc to another and back.
Princess Resurrection got a dub, which pisses me off cause I bought the sub only DVDs a year and a half ago figuring it would never get a dub at that point. Well, lesson learned, be patient. The dub ain't bad so far, on Epsiode 6. Not going to win anyone over, but I like simple but effective dubs.
Finally, I'm giving Canaan a rewatch.
Went through Wolf's Rain recently and am now going through Samurai Champloo.
Black Rock Shooter (TV series)
Can't say I was impressed by the first episode, everything was predictable. And for some reason, they decided to make all the fighting scenes in CG. One would have hoped it could've looked something like this. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=906SBSxbymo&feature=fvsr)

I wasn't impressed by it either...
in fact, I'm as impressed with it as I was with that game.
Finished watching Another. It was alright, some episodes stood out more than others. The ending was a blood fest, and not creepy horror like I would have imagined. Overall, I did have a lot of fun watching it, despite the weird ending.
So other than my mountain pile of anime I've left unfinished, I'm planning on watching this show (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztYS9F9gvq4) eventually. Guess I'll start with the prequel.

Oh [parasitic bomb], man, what are you doing?!
So I was watching some dubbed FMA Brotherhood clips on YouTube, and realized how much superior it is to the original in everyway. Everyone sounds better, and the voices (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqO2_qRFHjI&feature=relmfu) seem to fit better with the action (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtjphOOmasY&feature=relmfu) (the links are spoilers, but they are the best examples I can give). Same goes for the first FMA anime, FUNimation is just that good with choosing voices.
I might have to rewatch the entire series dubbed.

Dafuq did I just read? :(
People seldomly can handle the truth.
However, we must face out, reach out to the truth of our lives.
Let's see. Still watching the Princess Resurrection dub. Also watching the dub for Infinite Stratos. I'm really liking it, even though Cecelia's British accent is so phoney baloney. I'm also giving Pani Poni Dash a rewatch. Catching a lot of jokes I didn't before. It's such a funny show.
Checking out Akikan. The character designs are terrible, I'm just curious where the plot is going. The characters themselves are pretty funny. Also watching the new Lupin III. The artsy look of the show is really nice. And I was floored when after watching the first episode of this and Queen's Blade Rebellion back to back, Lupin had the higher BPM (Boobs per Minute). I mean, it is all about Fujiko, but wow she like never wears anything.
I watched And Yet the Town Moves all the way through. It was fun at first because the style of humor reminded me a lot of Maria Holic. But after 4 or so episodes it "normalized", sorta.
Out of some sort of regret (is that what it is?) of not finishing them earlier, I went back and finished up Meduka and Oreimo.
To be fair MM wasn't as bad as I thought it was, but it is still not great.
Oreimo is... well, eh. The characters are fine but nothing really happened.

Posted on: May 22, 2012, 05:10:54 PM
Getting back into Gundam Wing again now that I can resume downloading the episodes. Much more enjoyable than when I was 8 or 9.
Couldn't blame you for not liking Oreimo, slice-of-life really isn't everyone's cup of tea. Though I am curious on why you find GW more enjoyable now rather than during your childhood. I'd argue that the animation didn't really age very well and is kinda unpleasing to look at. Nostalgia I guess? Just curious, please don't hurt me.
Currently, I'm watching through Hyouka and Sankarea; The latter is surprisingly good even with a batshit retarded concept, proving that good script and execution can save even the dumbest ideas. The former, the last time I raved about an anime you guys ripped me a new one; so instead of going through the motions again, I'll simply say that I like it, but you don't have to.

I tended to get headaches when watching TV when I was a kid (Mostly during "Action" shows), that and I found Wing to be really boring , I wanted an action show and every time I had the chance to watch it I got stuck with lots of talking (Same deal with DBZ, though replace talking with "Goku in the glass tube for 2 weeks"). Thing is I never liked shows that were all talk and nothing else, political intrigue does not a good show make when trying to grab the attention of a 9-year old. Wasn't till I watched Geass that I realized I could actually enjoy mecha, so I figured that I would give it another try.
And I never said I didn't like Oreimo, it just was very short with very little going on. I'm still going to be watching the second season because why the hell not.
Also because I like Kyouske and Ruri, they're really the only good characters IMO.Other than backlog, I'm not watching anything new this season.

That's... not how it's supposed to go. You're supposed to realize how stupid everything is that you didn't notice when you were younger.
Thats exactly why I like it. Its more stupid action, thats the kind of thing that I enjoy.
Oh okay.
That's fine then.

Currently rewatching Steins;Gate. Just as brilliant as I remembered. owob
I haven't felt like watching anime for months. Probably because nothing good is on, or I'm slowly losing interest.
Other anime I'm watching are:
Tari Tari: Once again, don't want to be torn apart by your critical thoughts. I like it, and I find the scenarios interesting.
Sword Art Online: I've haven't been THIS disappointing by an action anime since Guilty Crown, I didn't think that was even possible.
Kokoro Connect: REALLY underrated; the drama is well done and it is at the very least intriguing to see where the series will go.
DISCLAIMER: This is my opinion and should not be subjected to meticulous criticism. Why am I saying this, you guys are pretty volatile when it comes to opinions. (Translation: You guys really like assuming I'm wrong.)
And now that I've projected this disclaimer I'm going to be mauled just for the sake of irony. Fortunately, I brought this! :cookie:
Crap, wrong item. *Activates flame shield*
I'm watching Yu Gi Oh! King of Games. Joey just went on a huge speech about how Yugi should take Red Eyes Black Dragon. And I quote, "You know Yoog, our hearts are in our decks. We're a team!"
I'm watching Haha Musume Donburi Oppai Tokumori Bonyuu Shiru Dakude.
Whatever the hell that means. You'd think Japan would be able to condense this [parasitic bomb].
I am watching Saint Seiya Omega. But now I'm watching Saint Seiya because Omega isn't as good. I guess it's not awful, but I don't like sequels of the sort.

I dunno about Omega, but Lost Canvas is goddawful.
I watched it with a friend recently, and I think that six or seven episodes in we said [tornado fang] THIS [parasitic bomb] and just watched the just as goddawful last episode.
Then we moved on to Fate/Zero. Which we yet have to finish.
Anyway, out of the current airing anime, we started watching Ixion Saga, which is awesome, and if it keeps up wih how the first episode was, then we are in for a good time.
Which reminds me, I need to see if there has been any new episodes.

A great point. Raw is all caps in torrents only to stick out, for identification purposes.
Rewatching Mobile Suit Gundam... been a very long time since I've seen this.
I actually watched that for the first time last month, believe it or not. I really enjoyed it, despite its age and the cheesiness. I tried watching Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam afterwards, but I just couldn't get into it. I [tornado fang]ing hated Kamille. So I stopped and decided to watch MSG: The 08th MS Team. That series was really cool. I wish there were more series that have similar tone and style(?) like 08th MS Team.

So because I'm [tornado fang]ing bored, and I really enjoyed Tron's arc in YGO Zexal, I'm rewatching some episodes of that.
And I'm doing it raw, in fact, most of those episodes I never seen with subtitles.
Because I [tornado fang]ing still understand a lot.
I can't read japanese for [parasitic bomb], but I seem to understand a lot, when I hear it. Though I can't really speak it either. I don't know how to explain it.
I even began making my own subs for some of my favorite moments, and with small help of a dictionary I'm doing quite good.
In any case...
Tron was such a wonderful villain, he made the show enjoyable even for people who [tornado fang]ing despised Zexal/got bored with Zexal.
I mean, in one episode he basically told his son (IV) who was dueling against one of the main chars (Shark), that he pretty much gives no [parasitic bomb] about him, that he's most useless out of his kids, and in general he never believed in him. Then he went on to help out Shark, win the duel.
His trolling was entertaining as all [tornado fang].
And all of that is given to us in a package of a little boy with strange metal mask on his face.
Just look at this smug [chameleon sting]er.

Zeta Gundam is the [tornado fang]ing [parasitic bomb]. What about when Kamille stabs Scirocco. Man, [tornado fang]ing Scirocco. You're crazy. ZZ's the [parasitic bomb] too. More Haman. Haman versus Judau. The re-entry with Puru. The colony drop on Dublin. Holy [parasitic bomb].

Currently planning to watch episode 4 soon, since well, I'm taking it slow.

Tenchi Muyo GXP - I expected this to be about tenchi, if [parasitic bomb] doesn't pick up its getting dropped.
Eureka 7- Well, hardly, 10 episodes on the back burner because I'm LAZY.
Samuai 7 - It finally started picking up! But its only got about 10 episodes left.

Anyway, I've finally finished the Phantom Blood part of the JoJo anime and well...
[spoiler]JONATHAAAAN![/spoiler]
watching what few episodes are out for Initial D Fifth Stage right now.
I'm liking the song choices so far and uh yeah. Episode 4 got a bit dumb in that they suddenly brought in this concept of the lead character Takumi having these rare occurrences of getting crazy boosts in speed that even the wise leader guy just simply says are impossible. It's presented visually as a small teleport pretty much. I am really not sure what to think about it. Also they call it the "Fujiwara Zone" after Takumi's surname and I just cannot take that seriously. If it were anything but a street racing anime with plenty of in depth technical discussions then this probably wouldn't bother me much at all.
Forgot to put it here a few days ago, but I wrapped up Sword Arts Online. Was it great? Nope. OST was okay but for the most part and the plot was a bit shaky, even towards the end Fairy Dance arc. But comes with most anime is the characters, and I find them forgettable for the most part, even with the new ones down the road. I think the art direction.. swear I've seen it before but oh well. It was amusing when they went the Rockman.EXE route and made any refrences to blood crimson data strains, so that was clever. So yeah, if you are into MMO anime I'd say give this one a go. If not, I'd say there are better ones than this out there. Givin' it a 4/10.
SAO originated as a light novel, but yeah...still not my taste,fangirls are still screaming around though
Watching
Robotic;Notes
Psycho Pass

Busou Shinki
Naruto, its on the TV schedule, like last Thursday. Saves me the trouble of watching it after the final season of Shakugan no Shana. 8)

By that logic so is Final Fantasy 13.
I mean, that's not really a game, is it?
Same can be said about other games that are cutscene-heavy that come from Japan, right?
Purchased Yu Yu Hakusho Season 4 blu-ray. So I'll be watching that.

Okay, now that I've finished the series, It's probably the second best shounen fighting anime I've seen. It really does make DBZ look mediocre in comparison.
Alright, I gave Zeta Gundam another shot, and I'm starting to get into it. I just finished watching episode 14. I can safely say that this is not so bad. I also watched MSG 0080:War in the Pocket and MSG 0083: Stardust Memory before trying to watch Zeta Gundam again. Both pretty neat OVAs.

Stop that
Does it really affect the viewing experience THAT much (besides watching Stardust Memories before Zeta)?
Nah I'm just messing with you in regards to 0080 and 0083. You can watch those two whenever.
I like to go with a production order policy myself but you can do whatever you want.

I should only feel bad if the characters were too boring, and too annoying to bare, when I'm trying to understand the plot, though. It's not my fault when a character's inner charm persuades me to watch their anime. Besides, the ending theme from the first season is adorable to listen to. 8)
It's amusing when seeing people argue over taste, as it reminds me when looking for a source of inspiration (I told this to someone from The Spriter's Resource), I was swamped with cutsey stuff from the 80's even though that wasn't I was looking for.

I would if it weren't obscured by these thousands of other useless manga if I were to buy a physical copy. I've been meaning too, but I end up not looking hard enough and BnN is [parasitic bomb] carrying this stuff.
Well I'm watching Jojo, Index II, Steins;Gate, Rozen Maiden, ZnT - Princesses no Rondo, and Cho-fricking-bits.
ZnT is actually a pretty sub-par anime but I do like the plot. Plus the last episodes of every season do end up getting pretty interesting thus far.
I'd read the Jojo manga but I can't stand it's art. Pretty much the only seinen with decent art are Vinland Saga and Vagabond.
Let's see. What have I been up to?
Started watching Fate/StayNight and Penguin Drum. Not sure what to make of them yet. I was watching Phi Brain but I dropped it. About halfway through Persona 4. About 3/4 through Bodacious Space Pirates. [spoiler]Was not expecting anything like a lesbian kiss in that show, but there were two even.[/spoiler] Almost done with Mayo Chiki. And checking out the dub for Hyakka Ryoran for the lulz. It's not that great.

Even though there are over 100 episodes and 10 new characters introduced in each [tornado fang]ing episode. It has been quite good so far though, and I dig the classy animation.

Well, ZZ Gundam is down. Char's Counterattack is next in line.
I'm sorry!
I vowed I'd go through it in order, so that's what I'm going to do dammit!
ZZ held up better than I thought it would, actually. But man, I forgot how super quick the tone shifts.
Definitely. I love ZZ though. Char's Counterattack is pretty terrible though. Haha, and are you going go to Unicorn after Char's? Cause it's not finished yet!
My opinion of it still hasn't changed from when I first saw it. I would have liked it more if the tone was more consistent rather than jumping from one end of the spectrum to the other, but I still enjoyed all of it for the most part.
I'm going to hold off on Unicorn until it's finished. I'll still need something to watch on the daily commute though, so I might skip off to Victory Gundam if I want to stay UC, or I might just diverge off into AC territory for a change.
Well you still have F91 to watch as well.
This is true. Ideally I'd wait for Unicorn to be done, but with it's track record so far... I might just skip it for now.
Episode 7 comes out next year, so yeah! 8D
Supposed to come out next year... I'm not ruling out any unforseen delays :P
One would hope not! 8)
I'd just like to say that Victory is my favorite UC.
That is all.

I'm not very good with names in anime to be honest, I mostly remember faces and personalities.
Culture clash and all.
Currently watching Soul Eater, since my coworkers wouldn't stop talking about it. I'm actually enjoying it, especially Lord Death's character. Hilariously charming most of the time but one badass mofo when he's angry.
So I decided to continue down the UC road... watching F91, then moving on to Victory Gundam.

I started watching this when it started to aired on [adult swim] but since my brother has Netflix I could marathon if I want. I'm watching Witchblade and Squid Girl (just started actually) well. I need to get back to watching The Slayers again.

Though considering Qwaser's premise has one of my fetishes, I think I'd have a hard time watching it (innuendo

Don't get me wrong me, it's just that can't give my input on Qwaser since I haven't watched. Plus I'm filling put my plate with other animes. '>.>
If there was one ecchi anime I actually kind of liked, it was Omamori Himari.
But Kanokon was one of the worst things I have ever witnessed.

Well, I mean more minor ones. I know what a lot of people say about it, but I'm not in full agreement about those.
Most of my grievances are not there in the novels apparently, having looked into it in the past. My memory could be fuzzy though, it's been a long time since I've watched these.
Although I still question some of Char's actions, but the hints are clearly there all through Zeta. Plenty of easy to miss callbacks in CC, actually.

DVR Backcatalog cleanup is going smoothly.
Binged through every episode of Tenchi GXP that I had on there. I think I had 17 episodes or so.
Hoo boy, this series is hysterically bad. Not that I don't like some of the characters, its just that its too goofy for its own good.
But what can I say, I like goofiness. And naturally I like the women, because that's really the only thing this series is going for.
Next on the schedule is Eureka 7, I stopped watching mainly because the series so far is Renton being shat on by Gekko State, I've got 24 episodes of this and 4 more episodes of Samurai 7 then I'm completely done with my backlog and I can watch everything else as it comes.
Toonami is airing both Tenchi and Eureka. Why have them downloaded?
They air late as hell on Toonami. Eureka 7 and Tenchi Muyo GXP air at 2:30 and 3:00 AM EST respectively.

Okay, that makes more sense. I was just confused for a minute.
What anime am I watching? THIS
Adrenaline pumping goodness.
Anyway, The first episode is actually pretty damn good. Even had me cringe at a particular part at the ending. Apparently, it will really pick up soon if the manga is anything to go by. I cannot stress enough to watch this series in HD; HOLY [parasitic bomb] every single frame in this episode was [tornado fang]ing beautiful.
I've picked up Baccano!, and a couple new animu, including Date-A-Live (which is supposedly not about dating I dunno haven't watched it yet), and Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet what the [tornado fang] is up with that name.
Hope they're not bullshit. (Well I know Baccano! isn't but I dropped it because it was too slow before. See if I'm a little more patient this time around.)
Almost done with Victory Gundam.
This is still my favourite opening so far, though:
I doubt it'll change, to be honest.
I should finish After War Gundam X. Watching too many anime at once.

Yeaaaaaaaaaah that's one of my favorites as well! LOVE THAT OPENING SO MUCH!!
Kotoura-san never ceases to surprise me.
I'd say I wasn't impressed by that OP but I guess it's something you get used to.
I still think this is one of the catchiest openings in existence. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7DH2dKk8_4)
That is pretty damn catchy. (Doesn't help that I'm a sucker for animu openings sung in english, although that was probably a dub op.)
My all-time favorite - if not kind of a generic one - is Cowboy Bebop's opening. Then again anything Yoko Kanno produces is sex.
Finished watching the 2nd season of Zero no Tsukaima. Now moving on to the 3rd.
Spoiler:
It gets worse.
Not to say it's unwatchable or anything but I'm near the end of that season now and it's KINDA interesting but nowhere near what season one or two put out.
Well just finished watching Elfen Lied on Netflix, I think it was somewhat okay, nothing spectacular (other than gore factor). The anime's adaptation ending was too much of a cliffhanger though...
[spoiler=Elfen Lied anime ending / manga details]I don't get how some find it tear-jerking; the anime's ending seemed more bittersweet than a tear-jerker. Lucy ended up fighting Mariko, Kurama's biological daughter and lost but survived though she lost one of her horns. Kurama shows to spend some time Mariko before they died in each others' arms. Later Lucy and Kouta spend last touchy moment together before Lucy sacrifices herself to fight off the remaining soldiers and lost her other horn. I'm guessing a day or so past since Lucy gave herself to save Kouta and Nana was able to live with Kouta and the others. Apparently someone shows up at the door, but I can guess it was Lucy since Wanta, Mayu's dog, recongized her. I'm gonna assume Lucy "died" but Nyu still lives on since that seems like a likely case.
I remember back when I was reading scanlations of manga, Lucy lost her horns at some point in the story but they grew back later. The anime also left the implications of the guy running the facility Lucy escaped from wanting to usher in "a new world" business for dicloni because revealed himself as one too and the manga might of carried on with that but it's been a long time since I read it I'll have to restart reading it from the beginning again.[/spoiler]
I heard Lynn Okamoto made a spiritual successor of sorts to Elfen Lied, I might check it out. There's still some Z.O.E Dolores, i and Smile Precure! I gotta catch up on, among other series...
I'm up to Zero no Tsukaima F. Episode one, it seems they finally made the fight scenes watchable.
Also, I'm following Attack on Titan as well.
Well, Victory's down. Turn A is next.

Truth. The OP amazingly fits with you avatar as well.
Almost done Turn A (an episode and a half left of it to be more precise). I liked it, but something definitely feels off about it somehow.
Now watching:
Date A Live
Nyaruko W
JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Hataraku Maou-sama joined my list of running series I'm following. Still watching Shingeki, Gargantia, and Date-A-Live. All pretty darn good. As much as I love Hentai Ouji's manga, I've dropped the anime. Tsukiko is just... Ugh.
I've started watching "C The Money of Soul And Possibility Control". Currently after first episode, seems cool and interesting so far.
Decided to rewatch some episodes of Nightwalker.
Boy, it has not held up well at all...
I have time to catch up on some anime now, so right now my watch list is:
Soul Eater
G Gundam
Yugioh Season 0
JoJo
Tiger and Bunny
I'm so up to date <_< I can't seem to find anything recent that excites me.
Also, WataMote (http://myanimelist.net/anime/16742/Watashi_ga_Motenai_no_wa_Dou_Kangaetemo_Omaera_ga_Warui!) just started airing, and I am excited to get into it as I read the manga
Done watching the "Princess no Rondo" season. Moving on to the "F" season of Zero no Tsukaima.
Haven't been keeping this up to date, have I? Well, I've just gotten around to G Gundam now. Here's a list of the Gundam I've watched so far in my journey to rewatch most of the series:
Mobile Suit Gundam
Zeta Gundam
ZZ Gundam
Char's Counterattack
F91
Victory Gundam
Turn A
08th MS Team
0080 War in the Pocket
0083 Stardust Memory
Gundam Wing (and Endless Waltz)
After War Gundam X
Leaving these to watch:
G Gundam (just started)
SEED
SEED Destiny
00 + movie
AGE
I'm waiting for Unicorn to be finished before I watch it, and I'm undecided on the rest. Not sure what's next after my venture through Gundam is done. Rewatching these has been interesting, in that some have held up better than others. My preferences still seem to lie with the UC stuff (particularly anything set between MSG and CC).
Good luck with SEED & SEED Destiny. SEED isn't terrible. Destiny is.

After War Gundam X wasn't too bad, as far as AU stories go. I think it got the shaft a bit with its smaller amount of episodes though, it was clear that they had more planned than what they could end up doing in the end.
I rewatched Excel Saga recently. Still hilarious. But the original Japanese audio doesn't hold a candle to the dub. ADV really had fun with that one, and it worked out for the better.
Started watching BTOOOM. Looks really cool. Reminds me of Gantz.
Watched Inu X Boku SS. The love drama parts were really sappy, but the comedy bits were great.
Also checking out Mysterious Girlfriend X and Dusk: Maiden of Amnesia. The former is [tornado fang]ing weird.
And there's also the obligatory Soul Eater on [adult swim]. I'm really enjoying it. I'm also watching One Piece mostly cause it's on before SE. It's okay, but I'm constantly reminded of why I dropped it before. It really takes a while for anything to get done.

Manga is better. Different humor even, less based on references and more on actual [tornado fang]ing comedy.
Though it took it like, I believe three to four volumes to truly go into overdrive of awesome.
Shame I lack the money to buy the newest english volumes. : <
Though yeah, the dub of Excel Saga is [tornado fang]ing great.
I'm barely able to watch anime lately. I'm only just now catching up to
Hataraku Maou-Sama!
Shingeki no Kyojin
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S
Suisei no Gargantia
And I'm still on Spice & Wolf and Steins;Gate.
Right, G Gundam done... time for SEED.
Steins;Gate
Dantalian no Shoka
Shingeki no Kyojin
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S
Suesei no Gargantia
Hataraku Maou-Sama
Minami-ke
Spice and Wolf
Baccano!
I had to take another huge hiatus so it feels good being able to follow all these series again.
Soul Eater (dub)
Not sure what to make of it so far, but one thing's for sure: The Excalibur episodes are [tornado fang]ing amazing and random (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYAU1CVhLQI).
Touhou (because there are actually good episodes made for the series) and Kannazuki no Miko again. Because I love it. <3
Quote from: NeKohaku on July 10, 2013, 02:45:01 PM

It's the only good one.
Finished Sould Eater.
Meh.
I really enjoyed it, but the ending was incredibly anti-climatic and rushed. Also, I feel that Dr. Stein was severely underplayed. I was so invested in his past, and I loved his personality; which was why I was disappointed that they didn't explore his character more.
Maka is an irritating dumbass, Black Star is the embodiment of all the "hero" cliches you can think of, not sure where they were going with Soul (I can barely read his personality) and most other characters are forgettable.
The only people I really liked were Excalibur, Death the Kid, Dr. Stein, Medusa and Sid.
Pretty good show, but not without a fair share of disappointments. And as a Shounen anime, it's certainly much better than anything Naruto has shoveled out.
The Manga is better honestly.
Are the arcs the same as the manga?
Only like the first part, and the manga is still on going.
That's a shame.
It's too bad Soul Eater couldn't be like FMA: Brotherhood, where it followed the manga beat-by-beat.

Well you have to keep in mind that FMA had two series. The first one sort of followed the Manga but they caught up too fast and that's why that one went to an original story and ending, because at least that was better than slowing the story down and either ending abruptly or just sort of stopping.
Who knows, maybe in a few years when Soul Eater gets closer to finishing or finishes we'll see another Anime for that.

Haha yeah, I watched both series. I'm a FMA fanboy, after all.
Honestly though, I liked the ending of the first series more than Brotherhood/manga. I think the ending of the first series left a far greater impact on me than Brotherhood. I know I'm in the minority in saying this, but it just gives me goosebumps every time I watch that ending scene.
[spoiler]Ed dying after seeing his father's younger/"true" face was brilliant to me. A dick move by Envy, but hey, when has Envy ever played fair? Conqueror of Shambala, on the other hand, had an ending that left much to be desired.
But I do have to give the creators credit for avoiding cliches. I don't think anyone expected Ed and Al to stay in the alternate world.
[/spoiler]
In fact, that's what I love about FMA in general; it's one of the most original/unique manga/anime you'll experience.
Soul Eater manga has a VERY BAD ART... at the beginning.
Seriously, looking at its first chapters, and then at some of the latest ones. It's hard to believe the same person drew them.
I'm watching a few things.
They're all on the backburner for the most part since I don't ever have enough time in my life to watch anything.
Soul Eater (Probably don't need to record anymore since I've got the whole series now.)
Tenchi GXP (Haven't watched the last two episodes yet, can do that whenever.)
SAO (I'd be a bit of a douche if I didn't form my own opinion of this.)
Eureka Seven (I missed an episode due to a recording guff so I can't really continue without watching it.)
One Piece (Both the first-runs on Toonami and the Backlog in DVD's. Both on Hold)
Sailor Moon (Just started the uncuts.)
Also have Eva 3.33 on hold, though I hear its [parasitic bomb] too.
I think I have about 3 episodes of Madoka left.
It gets so terribly goofy.
I get that it was trying to be all grimdark and [parasitic bomb] but it was just stupid.
I only liked Homura because she's got kind of a neat style going on, Kyouko because I [tornado fang]ing love redheads and she was cute, and Mami because she had tits.
Sayaka is a [sonic slicer] and Madoka was just paper thin. Oh well, it was goofy fun when I watched it.
Anyway, I've only started watching SM because I wouldn't feel great about getting the figures for the show since the last time I had seen it was when I was in grade school and I don't remember anything from it. -u-'
Yeah I really hate Sayaka, I just wanted to watch it to say that I watched it.
Quote from: Sakura Leic on August 14, 2013, 08:22:26 AM
Yeah I really hate Sayaka, I just wanted to watch it to say that I watched it.
Same here. And yay we share the same opinion on how Sayaka is [parasitic bomb].
But I had enough of a good time watching it that I bought three, soon to be four, figures for it.
That's like the only reason I watch anime anymore, to justify buying stuff.
I think I have a problem.
I do think that Sayaka has the best Magical Girl costume but that's it. Seriously that girl pretty much reinforced Homura and Kyoko's ideologies.
I personally liked Kyouko's costume, Mami's is good too but maybe its just because it emphasizes her breasts.
Breasts are nice.
I actually really liked that anime.
I liked the anime alright it really deconstructs the entire magical girl thing, I just hate Sayaka's character. Madoka was okay because I could understand her but I think I liked Mami and Kyoko the best.

Yes, yes she did.
I liked some of it.
Didn't like other parts.
For example, I liked when Sayaka lost her Soul Gem.
I liked when Sayaka went insane.
I didn't like Madoka as a character some of the time, nor did I like her design as a Magical Girl. So-called "Ultimate Madoka" is bland as [parasitic bomb] design-wise. But she was harmless really. Which was really the problem, I didn't feel invested in her character enough to really care that she was some ultimate power. But maybe that's just how I saw the show. Despite the title I honestly believe Homura was the main character. The story was mostly about her and how she affected the universe around her with her time travelling.
I seriously hate Madoka's costume just ugh, though I think Homura's is pretty bland it at least looked good on her.
I much prefered Mami going crazy in one of the alternate timelines.
As for Sayaka... I admit I was saddened by her transformation into a Witch, although you have to admit it was bound to happen. I felt they did a good job of emotionally leading up to that point.
Of course, QB being QB, and Dullahan Mami.
So... Being Sayaka is suffering, then?

Don't forget Nanoha.
Dem yuris.
Yeah that's the one I was talking about, I think.

My parents still think they have some sort of control over what I buy.
So lately I try to either get my packages before they can see them (Which I was successful at doing with Tyrannoranger, Persona 4 Golden and Tales of Xillia) or watch them get annoyed that I'm not saving for College because I don't know what I want to do yet (Forte and the PSVita were under fire there, but they don't know I bought a Vita).

THANKS FOR SPOILING MADOKA FOR ME GUYS
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT
2years2slow mate
though admittedly i never even watched one bit of Madoka myself. Didn't really plan to either.
I spoilered FMA's ending, and that's around 10 years old.
It's best to spoiler just in case.
It's impossible for Madoka to not be spoiled, it was spoiled for me long before I watched it. The anime is much too short and the Kyuube memes are [tornado fang]ing everywhere.

There's that too, you don't have to watch Sayaka's stupidity, selfishness, and pigheadedness shooting herself in the foot. Seriously I saw Sayaka on the screen I did not like her, that seriously doesn't happen to me normally. I know she's supposed to be a normal girl and all but it's jus agghh I hate her so much!

Yea. The first 2 movies are just recaps of the TV series, with better quality and some visual changes. Watching the third movie is the real priority.
Mami still gets a close shave, right?
That was the highlight of the series to me.
I kind of laughed when Kyube ate his corpse, it just looked so funny to me.
I didn't watch the movies... But with all the Remaster trend going on... I guess HD Dullahan Mami and Hannibal QB.

I don't know, did you actually like the anime? There's nothing to be ashamed about if you don't like something and as for not playing the games, that's what an anime is usually supposed to be: an advertisement for the source material.
I find the anime to be great fun but like everything else in the world it's not for everyone.
If you did like it then yes, shame on you. Why would you want to miss such

I enjoyed it, honestly. I just can't be bothered to watch more right now.
Mayve I'll pick it up again soon, but eh.
I'm referring to Neptune, of course.
I know how you feel, there are a few shows I've put on hold half way through for years before I've finished them up just because I hadn't been in the mood to watch the rest of it.
Heh, so I keep hearing. We shall see!
Also, I kind of miss the older series already. I haven't seen much of the newer ones (Seed and up) but what I have seen... I don't really know what to think of them.
Still dredging through Sailor Moon.
I... don't think I'm gonna go past the first Series, I mean its a perfectly fine series as is but I'd rather not watch the later stupidity with Chibiusa, the Outer Senshi, or the [tornado fang]ing Sailor Starlights or whatever.

Chibiusa I can understand but...
No. I'll better shut up.
To be fair I actually don't mind the Outers (Maybe because I never really watched the series when they were in it), but they basically come in a package deal with Chibi, so I'd rather not even bother.
The goofy backstory that Chibi has is what really bugs me about her though, nothing says "Out of Ideas" more than "Lovechild of two main characters from the future who is an annoying twat and is given more focus than deserved."
[spoiler]She gets brainwashed at certain point though... and becomes more "Adult"... and evil.[/spoiler]

Maybe I'm spoiled by the UC stuff, but the various series would have been able to survive without watching the ones that came before it.

It's just a symptom of the extreme laziness of the series. By now you've probably started to notice the same fight scene over and over again with the two mechs spinning around each other firing beams, then one chasing the other.

Only 10 more episodes left, right?
Anyway, I've changed my mind about stopping Sailor Moon after season 1. I hate Chibiusa but I'm not going to let her ruin the show for me.
Though I guess SuperS focuses more on her so that one might be skipped.

At least read a deep summary of that season, because the beginning of Sailor Stars is quite related to the Dead Moon Circus and Nehelenia from SuperS. Even though it's kinda like a filler, I liked it. But do what you want.

Mercy? Never.
All who watch must discuss!
I mainly have questions.
Why is everyone acting so stupid? (and this is compared to the previous series, where they weren't necessarily brilliant)
Why are there so many goddamn flashbacks?
Why are people not dying when they clearly should be?
As a bonus to that one, why are people who clearly died in the previous series still managing to be alive?
Why is everyone acting so stupid?
Why did they reuse so much animation?
Why did they reuse everything from the MSG-MSGZ era? (Even down to using Zakus... really?)
No really, why is everyone acting so stupid?
Why are they acting like there's some type of newtype-ness at times, when there is none of that in the series? (They even use the frickin sound!)
I'm sure there's more, but man... what the hell. I did like some of the designs of the Mobile Suits, but... again, all the ideas are from elsewhere for the most part.
Yeah, the Mobile Suit designs were pretty nice.
DESTROY!!
Also Chaos being destroyed by 3 M1 Astrays... Yea, that was memorable.

That's what I figured. Honestly I wouldn't have been able to tell, since it only seems to go off with one person for Mwu.
I thought I saw it for Jesus as well.
Oh, Jesus does it. I meant that Mwu only has his newtypeness when it comes to another individual... as far as I can recall.

Re-watching Mononoke. It's even better than I remembered.
Just finished watching the final episode of Zero no Tsukaima F. Not sure what to watch next, but I'm thinking of watching "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann" next since it sort of had PB's ego written all over it.
And no, I'm not a Yoko fan-boy, but I do have my eyes on Kamina, though.
I never watched Gurren Lagann until a couple months ago. It was one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.
Currently watching Darker Than Black.

Touma doesn't have to work or train for anything. His hand cancels out even the most powerful magic attacks.
Hardly a hero.
Well, 00 Gundam done. I enjoyed it overall, although I'm not entirely sure what to think of the movie.

Reaper was referring to a fan-subbing group PB, as in fan-translators who subtitle the spoken dialogue of an anime series into whichever language the viewer understands (usually English).

Yeah, the only thing I pretty much watch Toonami now is Soul Eater up until I started watching it on Netflix so I don't have to stay up past 1:00 AM to see... up until Netflix axed it, and I have episodes to catch up on that I ignored on Toonami. :P I would watch One Piece, but it feels odd watching it

Meh, there's one I know for the first game, and one I know for the second game.
But I'm not sure how far the scanlations go, or how good any of the manga are.
Though I have no doubts they are better than the shitty anime.
Google Danganronpa manga, you'll find it.

Plus, the VITA port in Japan also includes the second game, unlike the english release.

You know how often adaptations are not faithful?
Well, this one is a strange case of "TOO [tornado fang]ing FAITHFUL" while at the same time being too fast paced, and skipping a lot.
In the game, you have quite a bit of time, to learn about the various characters. You can learn even MORE about them, if you do their special events, that earn you skills (which are ultimately useless, because the game is [acid burst] easy, but that's another story).
But the anime just basically throws that out the window. It's 13 episodes of fast paced [parasitic bomb], almost entirely copied from the game.
You know when I said "too [tornado fang]ing faithful", well... the thing is, it uses a lot of [parasitic bomb] from the game. And I don't know if that's just them being lazy, or trying to faithful but, [tornado fang].
They copy almost everything from the game itself.
The investigations however, are basically done in a super fast forward style. And during those investigations, a lot of the character interactions happen, in the game I mean.
THESE PEOPLE ARE IN SITUATION WHERE THEY ARE FORCED TO KILL EACH OTHER! AND YET THE ANiME DOES NO EFFORT TO MAKE ME CARE ABOUT THEM.
[parasitic bomb].
I know most of what I said centers around "muh chara interakshunz", but that's first biggest problem here.
The second being the stupid fast pace of episodes. 13 is clearly NOT ENOUGH.
And the third, but not last, copy and paste.
And that's all for my little rant.
I didn't even spoil anything, see? I'm good.
I guess that's a given, maybe I can find an LP of the game.

It's pretty shitty but it's funny too because Masa is literally my younger brother. Like, from looks down to personality. And he's one cool [chameleon sting]er too.
Gundam AGE Down... that's all of them now. I liked the designs of the Mobile Suits decently well, particularly the AGE-2 and AGE-FX.
Why do the newer Gundams like multicoloured explosions so much? Particularly Pink/Purple ones?
I decided what anime to start watching... now on ep 7 of Saint Seiya. Let's see how my memories of this show differ from the reality!

I see how it is.
I could say the same to you.
*points at his avatar*
No you couldn't.
*points at his plan to watch list*
I'm currently watching like 25 shows, you know? I'd like to at least catch up on what I've already got before I move on.
I have nearly 100 entries on my Plan To Watch list.
In the end, it really comes down to what I have time to watch and if I care at the moment.
So far...Kill la Kill, Nisemonogatari, and Blazblue
I have to continue Samurai Flamenco soonish...
Okay I just watched the first episode of Gundam Build Fighters. This is the most hilariously shameless form of marketing I've seen in a long while.
...and it's absolutely [tornado fang]ing awesome!
Most of those shows are walking toy commercials anyway
Most cartoons of my youth were as well. But this is basically Gundam YuGiOh/Pokemon.
And I'm loving every minute of it. And now I need a soundtrack, cause the Crimson Comet's theme was spanishawesome!
Funny enough, I'm watching Zyuranger right now, and there's a scene where it's just the Guardian Beasts' toys on a table 'talking' to the characters. Talk about shameless!
Now go forth, and get an Amazing Zaku!
... Or a Beargguy III. 8D
... I am now tempted to check this out. After Saint Seiya.

I'll give it a go then.

I know, love to get a master grade but the price...at least at my local hobby shop. D=
How much is it at your hobby shop?
Quote from: PBPB on December 03, 2013, 11:15:39 PM
How much is it at your hobby shop?
Off the top of my head (and by no means accurate), High Grades about 20$, Real Grades about 40-50$ (depending on the MS), Master Grades = 40-70$, and PG 100$ or more.
Not sure what the typical prices on them are, but a little much to randomly put down even on an awesome model.
Yeah, I've seen it for $57.
Which I'm totally willing to pay, cause I can't go back to HG's.
I don't mind High Grades really, nice and simple to put together and still look good. But yeah. no comparison to the Master or Perfect Grades. (never cared much for Real Grade though after the disaster that was RG RX-78)
The HG's just don't stand as well as the MG's. Of course, they've probably been improved since the original Wing models.
Agreed, but the 00 HGs were pretty good and I liked how the HG AGE-1 turned out. One master grade I really want to get though is Turn-A, I loved that series.
Be happy to know that a MG Turn X is coming out in June 2014. :P
Also, Beargguy-san is a must have.
... Even if it beat SD Legend Knight Gundam...

They should release a 2.0 Turn A MG.
And yeaaaaaaah, I was wondering how you'd take SD Legend Knight Gundam getting Beargguy'd 8D
To be honest, I'm just happy that SDs are getting limited limelight in this anime.
As for getting owned... At least it's by Beargguy-san... At least. -_-

Yeah that seems kinda cheap for a master grade.
Hence why I went to double check.
Price seems to be 6480 Yen, which translates into... USD63.20.
... Still lower than I expected. Then again, exchange rates might change by June next year.

Fair enough, thanks. I'll pick this up anyway but nice to have a price. (Love me some Turn-X)
I didn't know where to put this so I opted for the closest relative.
Just finished watch Madoka Magica: The Rebellion Story.
MOTHER OF CHRIST THIS MOVIE. I AM HAPPY AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME.
Happy that's it finally over and sad so many people like that garbage? Same.
I've just EXPERIENCED the third Madoka movie.
With Ruri "at my side".

Don't you even start with me.
That movie is [tornado fang]ing trash.
I will say this: The main concept of it can be done in an interesting way, but in this case it wasn't.
It was boring, despite the pretty visuals the fight scenes [tornado fang]ing sucked. The music was managable, but possibly only because I have a soft spot for Kajiura.
Homura is a [parasitic bomb] character.
No, in fact, I'll go even further and say that everybody in Madoka is [tornado fang]ing terrible and leave it at that.
I know my complaints might seem pretty "lame" or I dunno, "not conrcrete enough".
But there's nothing more to say about this movie. It's just a long drawn out borefest with interesting visuals and [parasitic bomb] characters.

Honestly?
Ruri is a cool guy. He might seem like the guy who just does [parasitic bomb] to get people angry, but he's not without his rights when he does them. It's just that people seem to lose the true purpose of his "malicious posts". Or don't even notice it.
As for me, I don't care if I am "Better than this" or whatever crap.
This movie ruined my mood. I wanted to watch it, I actually got Ruri on it too. And it ruined the mood for both of us.
I thought to myself before watching it:
"Well it can't be THAT bad. I mean, since so many people like it, there must be at least something redeeming about it. That and it might even be fun and we'll get a laugh out of the stupidity."
Well, I sure as hell didn't have any fun nor did I laugh.
The same was true for Ruri.
IF you like it, that's great. I don't mind.
But if you like it and think it's a really good and well made movie? Then sorry, no. You're [tornado fang]ing trash too in my eyes.
And I'm not overreacting. It took me like an hour or two to finally start doing something after I watched this piece of [parasitic bomb].
[tornado fang] this movie.
Cannot wait to watch it!

Yeah good thing I stopped caring about Madoka after watching the original series, I didn't even think that was very good, but the synopsis for the third movie just made it seem ultra stupid.
I like the designs of some of the girls but that's about as far as I go.

Well I guess Gen bombed the third movie,eh.
Well, I'd still probably watch it anytime soon. Whatever I feel about the movie comes after that.
Someone told me to watch Love Lab so I'm doing that.
So... From gunpla battling... To Attack on Titan Zaku... To gunpla baseball... To gunpla F1. If a Miss Gunpla Universe comes after, I'll be no longer surprised. Miss Sazabi~
Started Darker Than Black.
I like it.
I'm also getting around to wrapping up Dog Days S2. Ugh, it's so terrible. It's amazing that my waifu series could get so bad that I put off watching it for months.
In other news, Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo has an incredibly unnecessarily long name and it looked interesting so I'll start that too.

Gunpla Baseball was insanely incredible!
Finally finished Sailor Moon, well the first season at least.
You know, even if I knew in advance that everybody would come back to life I was still a little sad to see them all die. Its a good sign that a series gets you attached to its characters.
Starting R now, expectations are low because the first season was so enjoyable that I don't think the rest will live up to it.
Wait, is this your first run through?
Of the Japanese version, yes.
Ahhh okay.

IN A GUNPLA BATTLE
NOT IN A DISPLAY
NOT IN AN OLYMPIC TOURNAMENT
I finished SAO.
Yeah, that got rather over the top at the end. I can kind of see why some people like it, the first arc at least, the second gets a little overboard with the (sort of) incest stuff and its overall a messily tossed together arc. But I guess it could've been worse. Not completely [tornado fang]ing awful like I was led to believe but its no masterpiece like people think it is.
The first OP is pretty [tornado fang]ing cool sounding at least.
I have no motivation to watch SAO after hearing about the "endless semen" thing.
Wasn't it me who brought that up?
I only started watching it because Toonami aired it and I have some unreasonable obligation to check out stuff that's either new or might be interesting.
But yeah, the 2 years of semen thing was something the author did indeed write and its something that people will use as a compelling argument as to why the series is no good. And to be fair, they're mostly right, the series has a few interesting characters, but the mains are the [tornado fang]ing definition of Mary Sue.
[tornado fang], I'd rather watch a series of Suguha just doing slice-of-life stuff and occasionally playing ALO for fanservice shots because despite the whole incest thing she was a much more developed character than Kirito or Asuna.
But again, its not the worst series ever made, or the worst series I've ever watched, but its not a [tornado fang]ing masterpiece.
Oh yeah... finished all the Saint Seiya arcs. Man, that pacing earlier on was harder to deal with than I remembered.
Endless semen... Wait what.

Exactly this.
And honestly, whether it be cheesy or not, the show got stale real quick for me. I just could not get into it.
I think the plot also got too complicated for what it was with the DG cells part at least. That was just kind of weird.
I forgot ham too.
Although now I'm curious. If you could, what would you do to make G tolerable?
I'd just make it about the tournament and all the weird & hilarious Gundams.
So it's basically minus the Devil Gundam parts.
Yeah! Heh, I could've done without the love story as well, but meh.
Quote from: PBPB on January 24, 2014, 07:39:50 AM

This so much this. That's what I like about G Gundam, heck maybe they could have expanded more about the politics and ethics around it too because that took a back seat pretty quick. That was honestly interesting since for the first half of the anime they were fighting wherever they damn well please and didn't get in trouble since Gundam Fighters were above collateral damage. Not to mention the people who were forced to fight in it even if they didn't want to.

Jeez I got this weird idea that G Gundam should have been more Dragonball Z/Dragonball like......
I just think it needed to not try as hard. If you're going to be a tournament of Gundams from around the world, just be that.

G Gundam wasn't too bad... but I do agree that the tournament stuff was the best of it. The Devil Gundam returning as much as it did wasn't it's strong point.
Maria Holic got a dub. First episode sounds great. Didn't expect Kanako to be voiced by Cutey Honey though.
On the subject of Sentai Filmworks dubs, a recent trend with a lot of them is to address characters family name first. I really don't like that, it sounds really bizarre in English, especially when there are non-Japanese characters in a show as well and they're obviously referred to given name first. It was the worst in Campione, where the script actually used both orders interchangeably.
I see a lot more dubs using Japanese honorifics as well, which I also don't really like. I understand some don't translate very well into English, but what's wrong with just leaving some of them out? If they're used for some sort of gag, like in Bodacious Space Pirates or something, I guess I can give you that. But if they're just left in, I'm not a fan.
Basically their problem is they're doing too literal of a translation?
I can see how that would be annoying. Honorifics are nice and all but the [tornado fang]ing dub doesn't need them.
Speaking of dubs, I was discussion the 3rd Eva movie with my friend and he says the dub completely missed the message of the end of the movie regarding Shinji.

Eh, I say give it a few episodes to decide if it's worth your time.
Given my lack of standards, I'll probably just watch it. Eventually.

He also has quite the collection of Gundam ladies as well!

Based on the original description, it is a (Revived) Yami Shogun Zaku F2000, using parts from Kakuka Virsago, and Shiba-I Nightingale to look like a Shuu build.

So I've started watching a couple new dubs, and they're for shows I would've never guessed would get dubs. First is Nyan-Koi, which is alright but it does the last name first thing I mentioned before. The other is MM!, which really blows my mind. At least the VAs seem to having a lot of fun with it. I've also been checking out Gatchaman Crowds. It's really out there, super weird and stylized, and barely has anything to do with Gatchaman. I'll keep with it to see just what they hell they're doing with it.

No worries. I'm buying the MS when it comes out! 8D
I just got caught up on season 2 of Chuuni.
Excuse me while I go restart my heart.
Started Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
Only two episodes in and I think I'm in love.
Yeah, I've heard nothing but good things about it. And if ruri likes it, I should give it a shot.

Wait until it gets to series 2 and when the anime goes through 3-6, it only gets better from there.
The final battle of Series 2 is just amazing.
Part 2 of Jojo now.
Part 1 was good, but I can already tell Part 2 will be even better.
Yeah, while Part 1 sets everything up, it looks like early installment weirdness since it went from supernatural horror to badass shonen.
Ugggh, you guys are really giving me the urge to watch this. Like I don't already have a ton of shows I haven't started yet. D:

Almost done Rurouni Kenshin. All the stuff that wasn't in the manga is just as bad as I remember. I don't always mind filler, but when it's bad... ugh.

As I conclude my watching of Gurren Lagann. I went with Code Geass.
Felt like watching it from the very beginning; since it looks exciting to watch.
I started Meduka Megucka.
I'm having trouble getting through it. I don't do well with slow pacing.
Wait you mean the parody or the original. And how the heck can the pacing be slow when it's 12 episodes, it was lightning fast for me.
Original.
I'm mostly talking about the first episode. It feels sluggish in pacing.
Yeah I guess that makes sense, I think it's to give new comers who had no spoilers a false sense of security.....

Probably the same reason me and Clef did, just to say we watched it. I still need to watch the last 3 episodes to be honest, it was okay but I just hated Sayaka being such an arrogant [sonic slicer].
[spoiler]My favorite part is still the part when Homura shot a bunch of holes into Kyubee and then his new body shows up and eats the old body. Just so hilarious that Kyubee just casually eats it like whatever, it's pretty morbid too.[/spoiler]
I actually liked Sayaka, at the very least she had character. Madoka and Homura were the worst, the two of them are just boring.

Forever, preferably.
But the scarring...
It beckons!
Maybe I should feed you spoilers, Wily?
But... THE SUFFERING D:
Thanks a [tornado fang]ing load Japan. You [tornado fang]'d up Black Bullet's anime. Wonderful. Thanks for butchering my favorite manga. Good job.
In other news I'm watching Black Bullet.
Here's what I've picked up from the current season so far:
- Atelier Escha & Logy
- Baby Steps
- Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou
- Captain Earth
- Haikyuu!!
- Happiness Charge Precure!
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
- Knights of Sidonia
- Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
- Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to The Animation
- Ping Pong the Animation
- Selector Infected WIXOSS

I probably could do a lot better with my free time.
Captain Earth?

An original mecha anime by the team that made Star Driver.

BONES, huh?
That makes me more optimistic about it.
Oh there IS this kind of topic here?
Allow me to share my [parasitic bomb] taste. On my iPod now is a couple or so episodes each of:
- Samurai Champloo
- Kyokai no Kanata
- Cardcaptor Sakura (i watch stuff slowly sometimes, so sue me)
- Gundam Build Fighters (Not bad, and this is coming from someone who isn't even that into Gundam)
- That weird ass sakurasou anime
- SAO (finally gave in and watched it, it's.......okay)
Of course you're watching SAO, season 2 is coming up soon after all you've gotta be ready for it.
You're only NOW noticing this topic?
what the [parasitic bomb] have you been dong here this whole time
I watched SAO due to someone else dragging me into it. I enjoyed the first 10 episodes or so, then it kinda went down after that.

Yeah, I have to admit that part of the reason I gave it a chance is that, after all the heckling I gave it and its Titanic counterpart, people who I looked up to actually said it wasn't bad, including DemoD+ who also noted the terrors of Episodes 15-25.
I actually had no idea there was going to be a season 2. Let's hope they don't actually go off of those last few episodes so much, eh?
Don't think so negatively of me! I can be nice you know.
I've been watching Black Bullet, which is a subpar adaptation honestly, Mekaku City Actors which is [tornado fang]ing fantastic, and Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to which honestly the manga's better but I still laugh.
Oh, and still meduka meguka

They're both [parasitic bomb].
Chaika's really good. Probably the first anime I've seen with no internal monologues in the middle of a fight.
Also the fights are pretty well handled visually so there's that.
Generally it's kind of like watching a movie or something. Atmosphere and scenes are handled a lot like something you'd see in, say, Harry Potter or The Hobbit.
Characters ain't bad either.
Go watch it.
I have no faith in your taste for you to actually like something decent so I'll pass.
This Season's list for me
On my Watchlist:-
Hitsugi no Chaika
One Week Friends
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
No Game no Life
Mushishi Zoku Shou
Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin
Not sure if gonna continue:-
Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii
Black Bullet
Mekakucity Actors- not a fan of Kagerou Project, but whatever
Haven't really watched, just skimmed it through:-
Seikoku no Dragonar
Brynhildr in the Darkness
Dropped:-
Soul Eater Not-I regret watching this, they turned this into an utter terrible horrible abominaniated epic failed attempt moeshit.
Brynhildr in the Darkness is pretty dull in my opinion.
Well I just skimmed so I don't really have much opinion on it, gonna have to try and watch it.
And derp forgot to put Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin and Mushishi on the watchlist.
Don't feel bad about dropping Black Bullet. I keep saying this but the manga and the LN are way better. EP2 was a step in the right direction but the adaptation's really bad.
Quote from: Rick Astley on April 18, 2014, 07:32:42 PM

That's saying... nothing. You could say the same about
any adaptation.
Quote from: Ruri on April 18, 2014, 11:35:52 PM
That's saying... nothing. You could say the same about any adaptation.
FMA Brotherhood is the exception. It's more-or-less on par with the manga.
I'd like to believe you that FMA:B is good, I really would. But it's ranked #1 at MAL and to be honest I really wouldn't trust anything that that community collectively rates that good.
Well, I wouldn't necessarily place it that high, but it's definitely an amazing adaption; possibly the most faithful adaption ever. It also has one of the most satisfying conclusions I've seen. Unlike Attack on Titan, it does deserve the praise it gets.
You can take my word on that.
Speaking of Attack On Titan....overhyped retarded fandooms killed the show for me... I could have just ignored it...but...meh
The show itself isn't that good to begin with.
[spoiler]Honestly if it didn't have Humans that can turn into Titans it might have been good.[/spoiler]
Still the hype was so damn annoying. Though for some reason Kill la Kill doesn't have the same problem with hype and I still want to see it.

Kill la Kill has been the most over hyped, overrated show in years.
I worded that totally wrong, I meant to say the hype that Kill la Kill has doesn't bother me like Attack on Titan did.
That's because you're lucky enough to not hang around communities where people never shut up about it.
Quote from: Ruri on April 19, 2014, 05:57:39 AM

True, and the Anime club was way more active, and by active I mean oh my god shut up you're too [tornado fang]ing loud, watching Attack on Titan than Kill la Kill, though even then Kill la Kill looked more interesting than Attack on Titan to me in the first place.
I'm sure I'll end up watching AoT when it comes on Toonami because hey I don't have to waste any space but DVR space on it and I imagine it'll be good for a few chuckles like SAO was.
Its even got Kirito's VA as the main guy because you know he's not overplayed or anything.
Attack on Titan actually wasn't too bad... for the first couple episodes.
It went downhill FAST.
Have your Anime Club watch some Gundam Build Fighters! 8D

Have your Anime Club watch some Gundam Build Fighters! 8D
We did as a Random, which means we only show the first episode, though I think that might be licensed already so we probably can't watch it. Though I have no idea what Shonen we're watching since I always leave at 9:00 pm.
So I watched the Mobile Suit Gundam movies, as well as Z Gundam A New Translation.
The MSG ones did a good job of hitting most of the important points of the series without relying on having previously watching the full series, while managing to cut out some fluff. I still enjoyed watching them.
A New Translation, on the other hand, felt kinda disjointed at times. There was parts that I felt like I wouldn't have known what was going on if I hadn't seen the series previously. This kinda also worked against me, since I felt like a lot of important stuff was left out. Then there was the new footage, which was just... jarring next to the old stuff, particularly in the latter movies.
I suspect that if ANT had a longer running time like the MSG movies did, it might have helped quite a bit. It would have given more time for stuff to be fleshed out, like the various meetings with Four for example. The new ending... I'm not sure how to feel about it. It kinda has a lot of repercussions that might never get addressed.
The opening for A New Translation was bizarre as [tornado fang].
I try to ignore ANT, it's rather annoying that a lot of ZZ haters tend to latch onto the new ending.
Still don't really understand the hate for ZZ. I thought it was awesome.
So did I! Even if the humor was rather hit-or-miss at the beginning it quickly improved after they left Shangirla, Judau was a really fun main character and I enjoyed the whole show thoroughly.
Judau is still my favorite main character Gundam pilot. He was actually optimistic & fun.
Yeah, it definitely improves once they leave the colony, but it's very solid.
One thing I liked about Judau is that he's not a very skilled pilot, sure he improves by the show but even at the end he doesn't really hold up to the likes of Amuro. Then again none of the pilots in the Gundam Team were all that good, I still remember that episode where they were all getting trashed by a Gelgoog and Judau had to save the day.
Oh yeah, I remember that one. But you're right. He improves, but he's no way as skilled as Amuro.
Well Amuro is bad example really, he's one of the better pilots in the whole series but I'm sure you got the idea.
Yeah, I did. Either way, I like Judau a lot.
I don't know why, I don't feel hyped about Kill La Kill. I don't really like the shows premise/concept/whatever anyway. Plus....the fact that its overhyped turned me off from the show as well.
I actually really enjoyed ZZ. UC wouldn't feel complete without it, even with its kinda odd beginning by contrast to other series.

It's terrible, season 2 is even worse.
While Kill la Kill was overhyped beyond belief (had a friend of a friend say it was OMGERD DA BEST ANIME EVERS), I did enjoy it for all the nonsense and pretty awesome fight scenes.
The fight scenes are alright but a lot of them are let down by an over reliance on stock footage.

So I finally got to watching the first 5 episodes of KLK.
I have to admit, there was no doubt I was going to enjoy it. I mean I did like PSG and this is the same guys for the most part. But yeah, its fun. Stupid yes, oh so stupid, but I like stupid.
Gotta say most of my enjoyment comes from Ryuko's Seiyuu. She's just got a good voice.
I am disappointed.
I didn't say it was good.
Its stupid as sin, and a lot of the costumes are pretty stupid, but I really like stupid [parasitic bomb] for no reason.
I'm not gonna be some ultra-obsessive fanboy. I'll probably rewatch it when the dub comes out and then I'll be done. Trust me, I'm not like that anymore.

And as quickly as I started it, I've finished Kill La Kill.
Not gonna lie, it was stupid as [parasitic bomb]. But it was fun stupid. The plot was dumb, the costumes were embarrassing, the tone shifted from "Girl beats up students at school" to "Clothing is made from alien beings who want to make the earth explode" rather suddenly, and the animation was subpar most of the time.
Soundtrack was nice, voice acting was enjoyable, at least it had that going for it.
Probably not something I'd rewatch anytime soon. And definitely not as good as people hyped it up to be, but it wasn't bad, just not "OMG GREATEST EVER".
Fun stupid? So, kinda like FLCL?

Quote from: Phi on May 19, 2014, 07:54:34 AM

Kind of, but FLCL's far better. FLCL's the kind of Anime I purchase. KLK's the kind of Anime I put on my best pirate hat for. But that might just have to do with FLCL getting a release with a modest price and KLK being released by the king of "I don't know what country I'm in!" Aniplex.

Yeah, probably. I'm not sure though, I think the reaction towards the show is kinda mixed.
Did you watch it subbed or dubbed? Because I love Haruko's seiyuu; her voice is quirky and awesome.
After catching up on some live action shows, I can finally put that aside and put my arse on anime once again @_@
Kill la Kill for now. Can't say what hasn't been said, so yeah, really enjoying it<3 I really like its style of humour~

Well...everything really. The music was good, but it really just annoyed the hell out of me. I didn't like any of the characters, the plot (what little of it there was) was pretty awful. Just not my cup of tea.
Well, to each their own. Nothing wrong with that.

At least it was only six episodes instead of like 26 or 51 or something haha
I really need to find another anime to watch that interests me

As much as I like FLCL, I do understand where you're coming from. Naota is a brat, Haruko is a selfish megalomatic [sonic slicer], Mamimi is definitely insane, and most of the side characters are annoying except for the mayor's daughter and Naota's dad since he shows how Haruko will do anything to get what she wants, and poor eyebrows is the most desperate man ever.
I still like these characters though, Haruko is actually my favorite for being bat [parasitic bomb] crazy and manipulative in every step of the way along with the Mayor's daughter, and Mamimi was pretty funny before she went off the deepend after Naoto rejected her. And I did like the plot and how these characters fit into it, again it's the side characters I don't like particularly Naota's classmates for being pervs, the grandpa for not contributing anything besides being a perv and his favoritism of Naota's older brother, and the teacher while hilarious is a real dumbass.
6 episodes away from finishing Jojo. Battle Tendency's really heating up now.
Also the Persona 3 movie finally found its way to the internet with english subs so I've watched that as well. It wasn't bad, a bit slow at points and it skipped through the first two months of the game pretty quickly (seeing as social links are basically not there.) but the animation was nice and it was fun to occasionally see small cameos by the Social Link characters. I like how they handled Makoto's personality too. Obviously instead of silent he does talk, just not that much.
Only thing I didn't really care for were them doing what they did in P4tA for acquiring new Personas by obtaining Arcana instead of just finding them and fusing and whatnot. And since they're not doing Social links they've tied them to the Full Moon Shadows instead. Its a bit goofy but at least they're not just fighting through their personas exclusively like P4tA had done.
Second one's out next month probably but I doubt we'll see it until same time next year.
EDIT: Done with Jojo. I'll wait till Stardust Crusaders is wrapped up till I watch it.
Slowly trudging through the Canon segment of Sailor Moon R still. I figure I might as well still watch the stuff I have already since it'll be a while till the BD set comes out in the US.
Some thoughts:
-Animation's taken a bump, it looks less like Season 1 now that I'm past Doom Tree.
-Mamoru breaking up with Usagi because of a vague premonition he got? Okay, that's dumb. And it means less Tuxedo Mask theme so that's also a bummer.
-I think there's literally only been like one or two episodes where the other Senshi did anything, its been a lot of Usagi doing everything, Minako and Makoto seem to be hit the hardest with this since they're not only the last two additions in season 1 which already meant they had less screentime, but they also seem to be lucky to get ONE LINE off.
-Chibiusa... She's not as bad as I remember her being. I still don't like her, but she's not onscreen NEARLY as much as I thought she was going to be so big plus there.
It seems to be a bit slower though, not sure if its because I purposefully watched the last season in huge chunks or if its because I've been taking longer breaks, but it seems more talky and less action-y.
Finished Sailor Moon R. All the stuff that bugged me about it earlier on, it all made sense as the series wrapped up.
It really wasn't as bad as I was thinking it was going to be with the Chibiusa stuff. Dare I say it, she actually grew on me a bit.
I also liked how the ending involved no senshi deaths. S isn't going to have the same kindness to it though I imagine. Speaking of S, the only copies I have of that are horrid looking R1 DVD rips so I think I'll either wait till somebody subs up the Dynit rips or just wait till the BD set. I'm not watching what's considered the best season on what looks like awful VHS.
Hokuto No Ken.
That's one of those anime I want to watch, but will never get around to it.
Since I was feeling in the mood I decided to finally watch Kara no Kyoukai Mirai Fukuin Extra Chorus and what do you know, some random side stories included as an extra are better than the actual movie itself.
I suppose it helps that they cover characters the viewers already know like Shiki and Fujinon rather than ones no one gives a [parasitic bomb] about like a girl who got a 5 second cameo in the 6th movie or some terrorist bomber.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012)
I've been dabbling in Sailor Moon S.
The subtitles are running a bit too early after the eyecatch, but other than that its looking good. Visually its really nice and sharp, definitely glad I waited for a better copy of the series to appear before jumping in with the old copies.
I finally finished Kill La Kill.
Holy [parasitic bomb]. That was so intense I'm exhausted just from watching it.
Kill la Kill was [parasitic bomb].
Well I liked it.
It's far from perfect, has plenty of issues- but I found it entertaining, and I liked the characters. it's boring if an anime is flawless.
Except Nui. Holy Moley was she obnoxious. but I suppose that was her whole point.
I liked the story too. As silly and over the top as it is, i didn't quite expect it to turn into invasion of the body snatchers type [parasitic bomb] with the life fibers, and all the twists and turns, despite being very cliche and obvious in hindsight, I didn't see coming due to just how silly and formulaic the story was for the most part.
Edit:Nui, not Yui. whoops
there wasn't a character named yui in Kill la Kill.
Though I imagine once they dub her in English she will be voiced by somebody who voices a character named Yui in another "Aniplex Classic".
Nui. My bad.

I still need to finish Utena. :\
I have to put Anime on hold for a bit, as I need to binge watch Arrow in time for the new Flash show that comes out soon. I have to decide what to watch when I'm done binge watching that.
Perhaps a Gundam series I have yet to see. Unless anyone here has any recommendations.
I'd recommend something but I'm pretty sure that our tastes are so different there is little point.
Just remember that there is two Gundam shows airing in October! Maybe it'd be a good idea to give the series a break until then?

For something not anime-related, have you watched Hannibal yet? That's a good bingewatch.

Perhaps, but I'll always give something a shot. Actually, perhaps I should just watch Jojo. I've been meaning to anyway!
Good point about Gundam as well!

Yeah, two friends on mine are demanding I watch that, so it's next on the binge list after Arrow.
If you're going to watch JoJo, I'd suggest you keep watching until at least the second part if it doesn't really catch your interest at first. A lot of people who aren't that fond of Part 1 tend to really love Part 2.
One of my closest friends loves it and we have very similar tastes, so I'll probably dig it.
Based on what I know of you I assume as much but still, its worth pointing out just in case.
I appreciate it!
Word of warning, there's some really sick [parasitic bomb] in Hannibal. And I'm not talking about the cannibalism, but rather how disturbing the murders can get.
Pretty surprising for cable television.
Yeah I'll admit I still haven't finished part 1 of the manga, part 2 and 3 are much more exciting. I'm still waiting for a better translation of 4, I don't want to read 6-8 until I finish 4. 5 is still my favorite really.
1 is much different than the others since it deals more with the super natural than the crazy ass shonen it is really known for, but it's still pretty awesome.

Yeah, I've heard. Can't wait!
I suppose I should mention which anime I am currently watch since I'm in this thread but honestly there isn't a whole lot. I'm mostly checking out stuff airing this season but there isn't a whole lot.
Sailor Moon Crystal had a pretty decent first episode, I have some pretty good expectations of it. Ao Haru Ride is a pretty cute show but its pretty generic as far as shoujo goes, Persona 4 Golden is exactly as you'd expect not much to say there, Space Dandy 2 is great so far I really missed the show, Aldnoah.Zero isn't anything amazing so far and while I watched the first episode of Zankyou no Terror I don't even remember a single thing about it.
What else is left that catches my attention that I could pick up? Free is gay but I watched the first season so I'll probably pick it up and then there's Love Stage which is literally gay, so I think I'll pass on that one.

Oh yeah. Space Dandy is also on the list of anime I have to watch.
It's good stuff and the dub isn't half bad either.
I recognized Crispin Freeman's voice right away from that Space Dandy clip you posted.
Even if he's kinda overused, the dubbing is usually pretty solid if he's in it.

It has pretty bitchin' OST to boot

It shouldn't be Part 4's translation you're complaining about anyway, Part 5's is much worse even if its presented better.
The Duwang guy at least manged to convey the gist of what was going on while the people who translated Part 5 made up a lot of stuff a long the way.
I just don't know how 5's translation is worse, I certainly understood it better than 4's Dwang. Then again I understood X6's translation better than I should for some reason. :\

Yeah I've heard some tracks and it's pretty solid. Definitely have to pick that up/download them.
Speaking of OSTs, I do hope Build Fighters Try brings back the same OST guy, cause I really love that soundtrack.
Nice use of the quote system man.
Haha, whoops! Fixed!
But yeah I hope the same guy comes back too. He's actually pretty new considering the majority of his work has been from the past 2 years. The stuff he's for Haikyuu! has been great so I'm interested to see (or hear I suppose) what else he'll come up with.
Same here. Great mix of electronic with orchestration.
So Rance (http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1228399) is getting an anime adaptation.

Huh, well he certainly sounds near-identical.

Stardust Crusaders and Terror in Resonance.
Quote from: Ruri on July 17, 2014, 11:20:19 AM
I remember seeing a few times that the new translation of Part 4 has already been finished.
The updated ver. by Invincible Trio is almost there, just waiting on a volume and a half-ish.
About halfway through Hokuto No Ken. Still as good as I remember, and certainly holds up better than other shows I've revisited recently.
Rockman EXE Stream is being subbed again so I was watching that, but now I need to wait until the next episode is released (they're up to 33).
I might rewatch Digimon Adventure and 02 in preparation for 03 next year.
So far...
Persona 4 The Animation: Ep 11/26. Sort of going at this at my own pace, no need to rush or anything.
One Piece: 229 episodes in. Taking a break for about a month so Collection 10 can come out.
Sailor Moon 90s: Episode 6 of S (95/200), slowed down on this one to catch up on One Piece, I'll get back to it eventually but for now I'm in no rush.
Sailor Moon Crystal: 3/26, I'm caught up for now, ep 4 releases this week and then we have to wait till September 6th till another new episode (Apparently Bi-weekly isn't a concept they desire to adhere to, instead its twice a month regardless. That's so incredibly stupid.)
I'm also stumbling through Ranma 1/2 as well. I think I'm on episode 9 of that.
Welp time to list what anime I (tried) watching so far.
Watch List
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun this show is pure gold of lolz.
Good Game Online(SAO2)- well, at least it has a better start than Fairy Land.
Rokujouma no Shinryakusha- Well the main character isn't a pushover despite the haremness. I like it.
On Hold
Barakkamon- Don't get me wrong, its a good show and one of the best slice of life. Probably will watch again once I feel like it.
Akame ga Kill- Well I've already read the manga, so I don't really feel like watching it for now
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei!- Same reason as above.
Tokyo Ghoul- Same reason. Though I like the manga better to be honest. I'll probably just drop it.
Dropped
Tokyo ESP- to be honest I don't like the premise of superhuman shitting on humans just because their better. But then again its just me. And no I haven't watched Ga Rei Zero or anything related.
Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance- Pure harem fanservice [parasitic bomb], unlimited tsundere works, I can't believe people like this show just because of one loli. The MC is sorta strong but a wimp in regards of dealing with shitty girls with shitty personality.(As if that's something new but its not.)
Moving onto R2 of Code Geass. The last two episodes kinda left me confused, so I'm forcing myself to watch the first episode of R2.
I'm watching Acchi Kocchi because I like cute moeshit.
I'm watching My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As I Expected because Hikigaya is my spirit guide.
I'm watching Hitsugi no Chaika because I put it on hiatus but I liked it enough to take it off hiatus.
Currently going through Sailor Moon cause friends wanted to watch it.
I swear everyone on this show is an idiot. I love it and it's fun to watch, but so much stupidity haha
Watching classic flavor Dragonball. I'm about 35 episodes in so far. Though, having only Goku be present for the most part of the Red Ribbon Saga is sort of a downer after the first 13 episodes had a good dynamic with Bulma, Yamcha and Oolong.

I started doing the same thing myself, actually. You're watching it dubbed, I hope?
I mainly started it because the first Dragon Ball episode popped up in my Recommendations, for whatever reason, so I watched it to refresh my memory.
Next thing I know, those mesmerizing Opening and Ending themes are pulling me in (I could [tornado fang]ing watch that Ending theme all day <3). Goku is just as dumb and hilarious as I remembered. The "pat-pat" scene with Goku and Bulma makes me laugh everytime. XD
And let's see dat ending one more time~
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24nXsqeqwFk#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24nXsqeqwFk#ws)
Why would I watch it subbed?
The only part I'm watching in Japanese is the Opening and that's only because I don't like that Funimation redubbed the song, it doesn't sound good in English.
(http://i.imgur.com/8D1sOYI.jpg)
This show isn't half bad.
^I hate to even ask but... where can I watch that?
I'm watching:
Hitsugi no Chaika Season 2
Amagi Brilliant Park
Love Lab
Love Live
Hyouka
Kokoro Connect
Basically the two new series that are semi decent and all the moeshit I missed out on.
That's funny I see no new shows that are semi-decent, in fact the only good show on that list at all is Hyouka.
I just started Ranma 1/2. The humour aside, it is also so dubtastic. Unfortunately, only one "series" was released here before the rights expired. But it's actually on DVD, unlike Urusei Yatsura...

That's a matter of opinion and mine has more weight than yours because its weighed down by my big head.
Seitokai Yakuindomo S2
Started watching this after I finished the OVA, which was [tornado fang]ing hilarious, just like the first season. The most I've laughed since Carnival Phantasm. The second season seems a bit more... stale, for some reason, but it definitely has a fair bit of laugh-out-loud moments. Still enjoyable, overall.
I recommend this series.
I decided to watch Rail Wars for the lulz. It's so dumb. IT'S SO [tornado fang]ing BAD.
I also decided to watch Strike The Blood because somebody said it isn't TOTALLY horrible. I'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT.
And I also also decided to watch Moretsu Pirates because of the lulz. Also bad.
And I also also also decided to watch Inou Battle wa Nichijou kei no something something because of cute girls.
And I'm watching Hyouka, Kokoro Connect, Love Lab, Love Live, and Acchi Kocchi on-and-off because I need moeshit in my life.
I WOULD be watching season two of Chaika but I'm too lazy to catch up so I'm waiting for it to finish.
Ugh I hated Love Lab so much.
It's pretty terrible but it has the kawaii anime girls.
Currently watching Death Note.
I like it so far.
I'm a bit surprised you're only watching it now. Death Note is one of the anime essentials.
To this day, it's still one of my absolute favorite shows; not just in the anime genre, but animation, in general.
Get ready to fall in love with L.
The ending was spoiled for me. That's why I never got around to actually watching it until now.
Ah, that really sucks.
Still, it's worth the watch, anyway. It's that [tornado fang]ing good.
Reached the halfway point/second arc of Digimon Xros Wars I. Kiriha is finally not a jerk?
Quote from: Reaperoid on December 23, 2014, 05:55:34 AM
Kiriha is finally not a jerk?
Knowing anime, this could totally be an episode name. Maybe add an exclamation point to that.
Nope, turns out he's still a jerk.
And so ends Code Geass: LotR R2. Goddamn, Nunnally still makes me cry, even though I spoiled myself to a clip predicting Lelouch's fate.
For my next, that is if live long enough, I'll go with some of the more popular ones. How 'bout some Jojo, before fate gets the better of me away someday.
Recently watched Gatchaman Crowds with a friends at his behest since a second season is coming out.
I really don't care about anything else in the franchise nor will I ever. I was satisfied with this show alone for what it was. It had some good progressive themes and characters. Especially since the fabulously gay member of the team turns out to be the strongest by leaps and bounds.
I couldn't even make it past the first few episodes of that show because Hajime is the most obnoxious anime character I have ever seen.
They actually acknowledge that in a later episode when she's reading some comments on a news stream.
It's all about the :> face though
Quote from: Irgy on March 29, 2015, 03:21:34 AM

Sometimes its just not enough.
So on a whim I decided to watch Gatchaman Crowds myself and finished it. I'm kind of wonder if there's a way to see the director's cut of episode 12 though.....
I finally picked up The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, which I should've watched long ago.
I'm also watching DanMachi, which is [parasitic bomb], Owari no Seraph, which is also [parasitic bomb], and OreGairu, which is still pretty alright.
I'm gonna watch The Castle of Cagliostro in the near future.

Won't lie, it's had some lulls in quality especially after the introductory episodes, but it's still been generally enjoyable.
I'm not sure if I want to dial back to the original series because it's so dated.
I would recommend it but I'm not bothered by shows being dated so I supposed I can't be too sure if it'd be worth your time.
If the writing's good I'll jump in. I'm gonna watch Cagliostro tonight anyway.
Steins;Gate
I don't know what to make of it, so far.
Akame ga kill....um. I'm about ready to stab this any in the face... [spoiler]IF ONE MORE PERSON I LIKE [tornado fang]ing DIES!!! O:<[/spoiler]

Read the manga. It's miles better. People still die everywhere though.
This season's watch list
Oregairu2- MC is an ass but also unique, instead of being stereotypical bland MC.
Destiny/Stay Night Infinite Sword Employment S2 -Welp better than what Deen Studio could have done.
Vanishment of Nagamon Snow - It's ok I guess.
Hiatus/Havent
Danmachi- Havent attempted to watch past ep1 yet. Just gonna let the hype cool down first.
Plastic Memories- Watched up till ep2 but I'm still fraid I can't handle the upcoming feels.
Show by Stone- Heard its a cool show, might watch it soon.
DanMachi is definitely watchable so far. The Hestia hype is infuriating though, I agree.
Took a look at Kekkai Sensen, looks interesting so far.
My buddy has been bugging me relentlessly about that show and honestly it reduces my willingness to watch it.
>strongly recommends an exceptional series
>no longer wants to watch it
I will never understand this contradiction.
It's not recommending as much as it's constant pestering. It's annoying and it turns me off from something.

It happens to me too. Actually it happened not too long ago with AoT.
Quote from: Wanda Bear on May 06, 2015, 11:01:39 PM

Well with AoT it's justifiable because AoT is bad.
People seem to be blinded by AoT's huge production values, to the point where the mediocre plot and terrible writing flies over their head.
I have been guilty of that with my brother when I wanted him to watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure because I did pester him a bit but he has been watching it now though very slowly.
He's guilty of it as well with recommending Fairy Tale even though I honestly have no interest in watching it as well as certain members of the anime club recommending me to watch Sword Art Online. Attack on Titan was like that too and I honestly did give it a try because the early parts seemed interesting....until we got to the Titan Shifting concepts and I was really turned off by it quick.
It's the fact that people assume that I would like something even though it's not really something I'm interested in.
Otherwise I can't put into words why this sort of thing annoys people and why it turns them off even though I do understand it and it in fact turns me off as well. Could be an effect of unintentional Reverse Psychology.
Steins;Gate is completed.
That was... uh, that was quite something. The last couple of episodes demand rewatching, and I have some questions on certain aspects. Overall, it was amazing and a pretty damn ballsy sci-fi anime. Extremely recommended.
If I hadn't played the Zero Escape series, my brain probably would have exploded. It hasn't quite reached ZE level insanity, in regards to time travel, though it came close in some parts. But in all honesty, it doesn't even need to be compared to that. Steins;Gate is unique in a way I never would have anticipated.
Apparently, there's a rumor of a second season, though I don't understand what else they could do in the story. It wrapped up so perfectly, very similar to how Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood ended perfectly. There's nothing else to really prod or pick at in those conclusions.
Either way, I'll definitely rewatch some of the episodes.
OreGairu's gone down the shitter. It's watchable still but it's really not as good as it started out.
On the other hand, whenever Hestia isn't on my screen, DanMachi's [tornado fang]ing amazing. Last fight was flawlessly choreographed. It was great.
I dropped Owari no Seraph because it's [parasitic bomb] though.

Steins;Gate is completed.
That was... uh, that was quite something. The last couple of episodes demand rewatching, and I have some questions on certain aspects. Overall, it was amazing and a pretty damn ballsy sci-fi anime. Extremely recommended.
Tuturuuuuuuu~
Robotic;Notes?
Okay, so not a rumor, but it is actually confirmed now: Steins;Gate will be getting a "sequel". It's called
Steins;Gate 0It will revolve around the Beta World Line
[spoiler]An alternate world where Okabe gives up on saving Kirisu and, I presume, will spawn the events of World War III.[/spoiler]
It's not an actual sequel, as it won't take place after Steins;Gate's true ending. I suppose it will be the "Bad End" of the anime, so expect it to be depressing.
On a lighter note

I completed the series in dubbed form, and it's really freaking solid. But for this scene in particular, I have to give it to the seiyuu. 8D

Robotic;Notes?
I've heard that Robotic;Notes has a shallow plot, in comparison to Steins;Gate. It probably won't be worth it, after watching the latter.
Well, it has giant mechas! Then again, I'm on the fence myself.
Just finished Redline.
It was [tornado fang]ing insane. Hell of an adrenaline rush and just plain fun to watch.
Dude, it was insane. The ending literally had me jumping out of my seat.
Yeah, I didn't see the final moments of that race coming at all.
Considering that Redline took 6 years to create, due to the entire film being hand-drawn, I'd say it was damn worth the effort.
Time to rewatch it.
Currently?
Sekirei (& Pure Engagement), then I've got Strike Witches. Then Im'ma probably rewatch Ghost Hunt or Gungrave again.
SuperS is over.
Not a bad season, not great. But not nearly as terrible as I thought it would be.
But now, its time. The Beginning of the end, Sailor Stars, is here at last.
TIME TO GET READY TO BAWL MY [tornado fang]ing EYES OUT.
Saw the new Little Witch Academia yesterday. It's one of those things where I absolutely love pretty much every major character so it's certainly a very worthwhile watch.
So I watched the first episode of the God Eater Anime, it's not too bad though there are somethings to get used to.
Things I Like
[spoiler]
1. The way Lenka was handled.
The guy is your typical spiky haired hot blooded revenge driven shonen hero protag that wants to destroy all Aragami, which is not surprising. However while the guy is somewhat badass, ie not even flinching when being injected with Bias factor and surviving in an Aragami infested hell hole implied to be outside of the Aegis wall, they show exactly how much of a liability he is instead of an instant prodigy being showered with praise at almost every turn like you are in the game.
He constantly fails his training simulations, which he wanted to skip in the first place during a minor Aragami attack like a dumbass even though he didn't even have his God Arc yet, always trying to save someone instead of attacking the Aragami. Tsubaki also doesn't take any of his [parasitic bomb] either, as expected of her. At the end of the episode when the big Aragami attack happen he barely did [parasitic bomb] until the end, by dumb luck I might add, and had to be bailed out by the First Unit. The only reason that Lenka was out there in the first place was because Tsubaki didn't realize that Lenka's God Arc was finished before it was too late thanks to Kouta showing him his God Arc after yet another failed training session.
2. How they introduced Kouta
It was so friggin awkward in the game with you 2 just sitting on the couch and offering you a piece of gum before realizing that he doesn't have any and not even looking at you when he told you his name.
In the anime Lenka bumps into Kouta when he wanted to go out into the field, with no God Arc as mentioned above. After things calm down with Tsubaki not taking Lenka's bullshit and telling him to train Kouta introduces himself. Once again he offers Lenka a piece of gum and before realizing he has none but the instant he takes his hand out of his pocket he's shaking hands with Lenka. That's a much better intro than the previous one which even added a somewhat cocky mention of him being the Protag's senior by nano second.
It also shows Kouta starting to be a bro to Lenka in a nice way without his annoying aspects, yet at least. No obsession with Bugaraly yet either. Also was a nice touch of seeing Kouta in a generic Fenrir uniform instead of his main clothes.
3. Tsubaki's outfit modification
I have expressed annoyance about Tsubaki's revealing clothes due to obviously showing that she's not wearing a bra or panties a few times. The way they redesigned her outfit still makes her incredibly sexy and revealing but in a way that makes her a badass former lieutenant much more believable. I very much approve of this though I wish they did the same with Sakuya and her lack of bra.....
4. The Bias Factor injection process.
Lenka is shirtless and it shows the Oracle Cells entering his system while still attached to the machine. In the game (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0-R5J3d2hY&list=PLx-u12t-QXaEti8clr4jpp7j7dJc3QdHI&index=3) (at around 2:50) you're wearing your default uniform and when you get out of the machine a random ass tendril just pokes your bracelet while your character with barely a reaction. Also in the game you instantly got your God Arc when the process is done, Lenka only has his bracelet and no God Arc at the beginning.
If they do an anime adaptation of the second game I'm curious about how that will look since they way they did it there was absolutely gut-renching.
5. Aragami breaking the Wall of Aegis
Just goes to show how the Wall of Aegis was only a temporary solution, not that it wasn't portrayed properly in the game either though really your missions are usually outside the wall if I remember correctly.
6. The music
The rock music really fits the tone of God Eater.
7. Pretty much no one was really aware about the abilities of New-Type God Eaters.
So as I mentioned before Lenka was always failing his training sessions because he tries to save someone instead of attacking the Aragami and they justified it beyond Lenka just being a reckless hot head. Lenka, and the First Unit, didn't realize that his God Arc Sword could also turn into a Gun. As I mentioned before Lenka did not get his God Arc until the end of the episode, and he was using a mock weapon while training, so he had no way of knowing that since he's a New Type God Eater that he has the benefit of being able to use a Sword and a Gun unlike most God Eaters who can only use one or the other. He blasts a Kongu in the face by the sheer dumb luck of the God Arcs being somewhat sentient.
It's really good because at this point there's only really 2 known New-Type God Eaters so it makes sense that everyone was shocked about it.
8. Eric is in the first episode
Nice that they introduce Eric and he's not acting like a narcissistic jerk, and he doesn't die yet. Hopefully when he does bite it it's not to an Ogre Tail getting him while his back is turned.
[/spoiler]
Things I found interesting
[spoiler]
1. Sending injured God Eaters out to fight the Aragami
There's no better way to show how crapsack and desperate a world hanging by a mere thread is than sending out soldiers with broken arms and messed up faces to the field. It also shows that despite the fact that while the God Eaters are more durable than a normal human due to being injected with Bias Factor they certainly are not invincible, which they did a pretty good job in the game when Eric died.
2. Art style
While I think Johannes looks a little weird I think it looks nice though I wish the Aragami and the God Arcs were a little less CG like, even though it makes sense and it's not too jarring with the art style. However I know it will mostly be hit or miss with others.[/spoiler]
Things I didn't really like.
[spoiler]1. Not a lot action in the first episode and not a lot of good explanation either if any.
For someone who played the game I'm kind of fine with it, for someone who hasn't this is not going to be very interesting and you'll probably be a bit lost about what the hell is going on.
2. Stupid jump cuts to flash backs with very little rhyme or reason.
The good news is they didn't spoil anything but god dammit I could have done without the flashbacks with Johaness and Sakaki. It was boring as hell too.
3. The episode kind of dragged, a lot.
It's very slow and at some points pretty boring especially with said flashbacks.
4. Could have used a lot more character interactions and really could have used a little less intense focus on Lenka.
For gods sake they made Sakaki look absolutely boring, [tornado fang]ing Sakaki! I hope they show a lot more of him in the next episode because he's one of the best characters in the game.
5. Lenka is rather hit and miss with a lot of people with mostly misses as of right now.
Since he is like you're average generic Shonen Hero, as I mentioned before, I can understand why people don't like him yet and if he continues that way why they will keep not liking him. His design is also pretty generic too, not as bad as Yuu, the game canonical protag, in my opinion but it's still pretty bad. The ending of the first episode will probably not help this since it looks like generic shonen hero fair of having the Protag's butt be saved by a last minuted not foreshadowed ability. People have compared him to Eren Jeager, which as a first impression with all those factors, I don't blame them for thinking that way.
[/spoiler]
First impressions are good to me at least, hopefully the pacing will be okay since the Anime is only about 13 episodes. Then again most of the game was filler missions so actually might make sense. However this is from someone who has played the game, for someone who hasn't the first episode doesn't really do much to hook in new comers and does a pretty bad job at it unfortunately. So it's mostly objectionably okay despite the fact that I like it I can see why most won't and don't. I hope this changes in the second episode.
Welp, I certainly bawled my [tornado fang]ing eyes out. ;O;
200 episodes, 3 movies, a mid-season special and two shorts, I'm done with Sailor Moon.
I'm not [tornado fang]ing watching Crystal.
Watching Elfen Lied, right now. And I'm already loving the uncencored gore, that was robbed from me watching JJBA.
There is also something fascinating watching a cute girl causing mass murder, with her mind powers.
Weak. Watched that [parasitic bomb] when I was 12. Get with the times old man!
Say what you want, I'm still watching.
Monster.
One of the many older anime I never got around to.
Quote from: Phi on August 07, 2015, 06:19:32 AM
Monster.

Enjoy some very memorable quotes from the Monster itself.
20 episodes in.
It feels like I'm reading a really good mystery novel.
Going for Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei.
I don't know; I remember watching the first episode a long time ago, but never got into it that time. Now that I watched it again, I then reminded myself why this anime was comedy gold.
Even though a certain melody plays; it kept reminding me of Shanghai Teahouse ~ Chinese Tea (aka. Hong Meiling's stage theme).
Recently started Overlord.
I really like it. The concept is pretty good.
Started Persona 4 The Animation.
Loving everything about Yu Narukami; totally better than his game version.
Man, I'm looking at my shelf and I have a TON of stuff I haven't gotten around to watching yet...
Koihime Musou, Strike Witches, Bamboo Blade, Daphne in the Brilliant Blue, Appleseed Alpha, SF: Assassin's Fist, Tokyo Underground.....
Good thing I have a fortnight's holiday coming up....
I'm going to start either Berserk or Death Parade next.
Apparently, my sister and even her husband had trouble sleeping after watching the ending of Berserk.
I'm very curious as to how disturbing it really is.
This month I'll watch Gakkou Gurashi!, once I catch up in the manga. Maybe throw in Blood+
I don't watch anime because I'm not a NERD
...
I'm being badgered to finish Love Live so I'm doing that.
I think I'll start with Death Parade, since it's shorter than Berserk and the premise piques my curiosity.
I'm currently watching the second season of Magi
Death Parade started off really [tornado fang]ing great. The opening is cool, too.
http://youtu.be/UjjTMNDZi-A (http://youtu.be/UjjTMNDZi-A)
Unfortunately, it tapered off towards the end and the conclusion was somewhat underwhelming. Honestly, this probably would have worked better as a 6-episode OVA, rather than a full series.
Still, for what it's worth, I did enjoy my time with it and I love the casino setting.
Did you watch Death Billiards?
I'm going to watch that next.
Yeah that's the pilot and only has the main guy.
Been actually keeping tabs on a thing or more that's currently running.
Watching Monogatari Series Final Season, I think it's technically called? Current arc is specifically Owarimonogatari so whatever. It's brought in a new character pretty late but I'm eager about where it goes. Also I indirectly said this already but the 2nd opening theme (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMBq6qmOzz4) is one of the best yet.
Also decided to watch One Punch Man after reading the silly premise. Dude kills every monster with exactly what you expect and is pretty bored about it. Surprised with the top notch animation and a song from JAM Project that rocks pretty hard.
This past summer season I also watched Gatchaman Crowds Insight. I think the first season was better since this one kinda relegated the returning cast to side characters. I mean, they were of bigger focus before since it was about their development around the first lead, whereas this an inversion and more run of the mill I guess. Oh well.
Oh yea, and of course I'm watching Dragon Ball Super. I'm curious with how long it's aiming for with the first major fight adapted from a movie getting a bit drawn out.
The sheer anticipation everyone had for a One Punch Man anime was insane.
The manga/web comic/whatever is apparently praised very highly, so it makes sense.
I watched the first epiisode last week and it's great stuff. Also dat opening! 8B
Went with something random here; and decided to go with Clannad. Judging by the looks of the first episode, I think I've made good pick. :)
How is Clannad random?
It's one of the most popular anime out there. And Clannad After Story apparently caused everyone to cry.
Yeah Clannad in general will cause many tears to be shed, After Story especially. Though Anohana is just as bad if not worse in that department.

I'm not saying it's random. I'm saying, that I'm making a random choice on what to watch, since I got nothing better to watch at the moment.
And I sort of also chose it, because of the last episode of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, that I watch, kinda mentioned it's name so, you know.
I've heard that Cory in the House is one of the better anime, so I'm going to try that real soon
Moving onto Angel Beats.
I don't know; although I kinda find it amusing to watch, yet wonder; how does anyone die in this anime if they're all already dead?
[spoiler] They die via reincarnation.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I thought it was acsending to heaven since they're in purgatory.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]I recalled reincarnation was in play for at least one of the major minor characters. Could go both ways depending on how you view it. Then again, it has been years since I last watched it, heh.[/spoiler]
Moving on the K-On. Wish Angel Beats's anime went into more detail on everyone's deaths, I was too eager to see what happened to TK.
I finished Madoka Magica.
That was... something.
[spoiler]Did Madoka literally become Jesus what the [tornado fang] just happened
And why does Homu suddenly have angelic-like powers[/spoiler]
I finished OPM last night. I was... Honestly a little disappointed by the ending. It felt anticlimactic? And I don't mean the fight, because that's intended. I feel like the narrative ended a bit too abruptly.
I agree. I suppose that's the consequence of ending a series when the manga/web-comic didn't even finish.
The Deep Sea King arc was my favorite. Mumen Rider's speech and Saitama giving credit to the others Heroes, at the cost of people viewing him as a fraud. That was the peak of OPM, for me.

[spoiler]Did Madoka literally become Jesus what the [tornado fang] just happened

[spoiler]Yes Madoka ascended and became Godoka. She basically rewrote the universe so Magical Girls don't become Witches when they die but rather go to a Magical Girl Nirvana.
As for Homura she inherited Madoka's bow, as well as one of Madoka's ribbons which doesn't really do anything.[/spoiler]
Now go watch Rebellion to see the aftermath of that and more mindfucks.
How many movies are there?
3, but the first 2 retells the anime with some edited scenes and stuff so it's like Dragon Ball Super in reverse. The 3rd is the continuation after the ending.
[spoiler]However there will be a 4th.[/spoiler]
ALL HAIL MADOKAMI
[spoiler]Even though that's no longer the case...[/spoiler]

This. It felt like there should have been at least another episode or two. I understand that they ran out of material, but couldn't the writers have just made something up to give the series closure? I'm actually hoping that since the series is so popular, that we'll get a second season.
They're planning season 2.
Just finished The Ambition of Oda Nobuna and Daphne in the Brilliant Blue. Really enjoyed both of 'em.
As for what's next, I'm torn between Bamboo Blade, Divergence Eve and A Certain Scientific Railgun.
Railgun's manga is better. The anime isn't bad but it's way further behind the manga.
I finished the 3rd Madoka movie.
I... I really need to lie down.
Told you it was full of mindfucks!
Honestly, I think it was a little too ambitious for its own good.
I'm nearing the end of S1 of Stand Alone Complex and holy [parasitic bomb] it got dialed up to 11. Here's hoping S2 holds up.
Well, I'll give the movie one thing
[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVi_fs2oz3E[/yt]
The animation is [tornado fang]ing HYPE. It's almost like it was done by ufotable, and ironically, this music is exactly the type they would have chosen.

Madoka's animation is really surreal. It's kind of hard for me to follow. I should get back into it though.

It does, for the most part. Couple of dips here and there but nothing that completely derails the series.
Finished the first season of Stand Alone Complex and I'm currently six episodes into the second.
The season finale had more OOOOHHH SHIIIIIIIT moments for me than any anime I've watched thus far. The animation really took a step up in Season 2 as well. I'm really impressed. Sure it's not the prettiest, shiniest anime out there like some of those KyoAni productions but there's so much fine detail (people in the background making realistic actions and movements, cars pulling out behind people, barely noticeable realistic lens flares from lights) it's actually really immersive to watch, and I can't honestly say immersive is the word I'd use for any other series I've seen.
All in all I'm still hooked. Probably thinking about watching Arise after this.
I'm immersed in most Ghibli films.
As far as series go, Monster was immersive as hell.
Quote from: open theme [TORNADO FANG] YOU on January 21, 2016, 06:27:36 AMAll in all I'm still hooked. Probably thinking about watching Arise after this.
Arise is pretty damn good, but the fact that they're OVAs means they suffer a bit as they don't have the depth that SAC has. Some of the plotlines can feel a little convoluted or rushed as a result. I'd still recommend it, though. :)
Y'know, I should rewatch SAC too, once I'm finished with Burst Angel.
Sekkou Boys
Not sure what I just watched
i finished season 2
...
wow
Is that a good wow, a bad wow, a i-have-seen-the-light wow, or a meduka-gurl-iz-suffering wow?
A good wow. Easily one of the best anime I've watched.
Just started Box 1 of Nisekoi. I'm a huge fan of the manga, and so far I'm impressed with the adaptation. After I'm done, I've got Gatchman Crowds and Coppelion to get through. Along with about 15 other series....
So, umm... Perfect Blue
Damn, my head hurts. It's an absolute masterpiece, yes, but... wow.
I remember reading somewhere that it's based on a novel. Probably not gonna be tracking that one down.

[yt]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDnu0giUS00[/yt]
good stuff
so lets recap the [parasitic bomb] i've either watched or started watching in the last few months.
I watched the first Berzerk film, lots of 3DCG but it kinda works?
I watched Overlord, kinda neat i guess but what was the point of having all those characters if half of em made like one appearance ever. I mean you go through the trouble of having a character who's explicitly a trap but never utilize them? also there was an edgy [sonic slicer] with gold armor, blonde hair and red eyes and watching her die was the single most satisfying thing in that series. Other than that, really went for the MMO kinda setting a dark ages time period with an adventurer's guild with a bar and missions and "You gotta be this rank to do this 'find five bear asses' mission" bullshit that's getting so overdone.
I started Konosuba but immediately dropped it after one episode after it starting to look interesting then pissing away all of its goodwill on a [tornado fang]ing trite MMO-MidEvil setting with a [tornado fang]ing adventurer's guild. And the OP(?) at the end of the first episode (since anime tends to do that recently, kinda annoying to be honest but i guess they have to sucker some fools into thinking its NOT a generic sword/sorcery MMO anime) also had generic color coded mage and cleric and [parasitic bomb] so [tornado fang] that. My friend let slip that Danmachi was also a series in that vein so i'm not even gonna dignify that with a watch at all (And I actually wanted to watch Danmachi too, shame)
I finally finished Dragonball Z, now I get to rewatch it and Dragonball AND all the movies in Japanese, plus the [parasitic bomb] that's only in japanese that i skipped the first time around. Then I can maybe watch Super, or maybe i'll get really really drunk and stagger my way through the fever dream known as GT.
So yeah anime's kinda drying up for me.
Maybe because you're watching average to mediocre anime
I mean, the DBZ movies and Super? Really?
nah, i just don't get into it as much as I used to. either nothing grabs me that much or I watch something with my friend and it falls completely flat. Like I watched One Punch Man a while back and that was a lot of fun, meanwhile I watched like two or three episodes of Watamote and I just couldn't [tornado fang]ing stand it. Stuff like that is why i'm falling into the mindset of just rewatching the stuff I like instead of really going anywhere new. Also I make it a personal point to not watch series as they're airing unless its something like One Piece where I'll either never catch up or it'll finish by the time i get anywhere close to where its currently at (And even with One Piece i'm highly considering switching to the Manga after the timeskip)
and hey while dbz's movies aren't very good i certainly had fun watching them. besides i hear super's really improving after the movie recaps ended.

Fair enough-I kinda liked baby as a villain though since unlike most he had some legitimate hatred for the sayians even if it was genetically programed into him. Also his design while infesting vegeta was kinda neat.

I think we can all agree that GT is the worst series in the franchise.
Well considering it's an alternate continuity and not cannon with the main DB franchise I say yeah. But at least we get Super Sayian 4 in Xenoverse.

Usually people say the Dark Dragons were the only good thing that came out of GT, but to be honest they weren't really that memorable either. :\
The concept of SSJ4 is the only good thing the came out of GT. I really liked the idea of reverting back to the Oozaru Saiyan roots.
I also kind of liked the idea that they had a consequence for using the Dragon Balls too much, though I think the execution was kind of stupid looking back at it. :\

That's what my friend told me as well. I still hated it. I thought it was boring & the fights were just so contrived.
It's quite sad. Dragon Ball had the best fights in the series.
Instead of winning by whoever has the largest ki blast, DB characters used actual martial arts.

Yeah I agree as well, and I honestly really didn't like that the Female Dragon was just one big joke thanks to being based off of Oolong's panty wish. :\

It's quite sad. Dragon Ball had the best fights in the series.
Instead of winning by whoever has the largest ki blast, DB characters used actual martial arts.
Yeah the Dragon Ball fights were pretty damn awesome, though I'll always have a soft spot for the Cell Saga in DBZ since it showed just how flawed a lot of the characters are and it almost costed them everything because of how everyone in that tournament made so many big screw ups.
If 16 didn't die and awaken Gohan's rage all would have been lost.
Everything relating to SSJ2 Gohan will always be my favorite part of DBZ.
Yeah looking back at it Frieza's fight just wasn't that good because it lacked tension to me. I mean yeah Namek was blowing up, and yeah Krillien's death was gut wrenching and a huge tear jerker just because of how Goku reacted to it and the shock of just how terrifying a Super Saiyan, a being born of pure anger, is but it was just so disappointing just how easy Frieza was to be curb stomped once that happened.
I mean yeah that's kind of the point, Frieza fearing the Saiyans because of how powerful they are and the show does a good job of proving why Saiyans are so feared, but in the end it was pretty weak compared to when Vegita was first fought and even Raditz. I mean it was great at the time, especially with how dickish they were for taking so long to get to that point in the US, but now it just looks boring.
I think another problem in the Namek saga was how Goku was heavily depened on for nearly everything, and he became this almost invincible hero. I mean yeah Goku got wrecked by Ginyuu, but only because of the body switching.
I also have a huge sore spot for the Buu saga due to Vegita acting so stupid and Kid Trunks being......well Kid Trunks. That and how overshadowed Gohan became, I mean yeah it's in Gohan's character to not dedicate himself to fighting but it was still disappointing since Gohan is one of my favorite characters. The only thing I liked was how Hercule was redeemed, everything he did in that Saga was awesome, and he's just a normal guy!
Goku is quite literally the Jesus of the franchise, that's why everyone depends on him.

Yeah and I honestly really don't like that, it's a very common trap that a lot of Shonen series fall into and it's also why Naruto is also very much despised by its detractors, other than Sasuke being one of the most badly written characters in history, the Lead Character is the Center of the Universe.
The only time this didn't happen in DBZ was in the previously mentioned Cell Saga and first 2 Sayian Sagas, with Piccolo finishing off Raditz and Goku only barely winning at the skin of his teeth thanks to Gohan going Oozaru and Yajirobe actually doing something for once and slicing off Vegeta's tail. Otherwise Goku, and in a lot of bland Shonens the Lead Character, has to do [tornado fang]ing everything because the not Lead Characters can't dare to steal the Spotlight from the Lead Character or else the Lead Character can't be the most awesomest person in the Universe.
Nothing happens without the Lead Character, only the Lead Character can beat the Big Bad and most of their hench men. Lead Character this, Lead Character that, Lead Character, Lead Character, Lead [tornado fang]ing Character all day erry day.
It's really infuriating that all of the other characters are either supports or loads, it's almost like they might as well not be there because 90% of the time they don't do anything major, most of the time they stall or they try and fail miserably and nothing changes. It really diminishs how awesome DBZ is because Goku is usually used as a plot device to wrap everything up and do most of the work.
It's why I prefer Yu Yu Hakusho much more, it's why I absolutely adore Jojo's Bizzare Adventure so [tornado fang]ing much, it's not all about the Lead Character, the other characters actually provide meaningful support and actually do things meaningful and significant!
I mean DBZ is a fun ride, and I still like it very much, but otherwise a lot of it makes me cringe with how much they kiss up to Goku and how they really trivialize the growth of other characters, even and especially Vegeta. I mean Vegeta tries to do things, but in the end it almost always falls flat and Goku has to save the day and get all the credit.
You have to remember that DBZ is the foundation for most shounen anime, which is why you have things like Naruto, Fairy Tail, and One Piece with very similar protagonists. And as with many foundations/starting points, there is bound to be countless flaws and plot inconsistencies.
Like you said, that's why shows like Yu Yu Hakusho are so goddamn great. It breaks the protagonist plot-armor mold, and takes time to focus on secondary characters and their personal struggles. Yusuke didn't seem that much more important than the others; everyone had development.
[spoiler]And I LOVE that Yusuke lost the final battle against Yomi. Even with newly discovered strength, he isn't perfect.
I'd like to see a shounen made now that'd have the balls to have their main character lose a major battle.[/spoiler]
Fairy Tail is probably the worst offender of always having the heroes win by bullshit means, so this new RP triggers me a little bit.
Yeah and that's why I don't fault DBZ as much, I hate what it became at times but it has it's good and even great points. I mean even the newer movies, which still had plenty of the same problems mind you, did some really good things as well. I mean they weren't perfect, but they both had some good ideas and Resurrection of F did some character exploration and again highlighted the flaws of Goku, Vegeta, and especially Frieza.
I mean yeah, Vegeta was robbed at the end, Frieza could have been much more of a threat, and the ending where Goku and Vegeta basically pissed on the idea of actually overcoming said flaws and willingly working together for once instead of as a last resort was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen, but the thought was really appreciated to me. Hell Master Roshi actually did something again, it wasn't much, but he actually did something!
Honestly most of the reason Battle of Gods is any good is because of the very Classic-Era Dragonball style humor. Resurrection F has a lot of the same too but it gets a bit dumb with SSJGSSJ (Thankfully renamed to Super Saiyan Blue which sounds just silly as opposed to obnoxious)
Honestly nowadays looking back while Goku might be the main character of the entire franchise he seems very secondary in Z. I mean if you think about it his story is mostly told in Dragonball, starting with Z he starts falling into the trend of being either Dead/Traveling to the fight via the slowest flying in the series/In the Hospital/On a spaceship/in THE POD/Taking the scenic route back from Namek/Having a literal heart attack then sleeping it off/Training in the Time Chamber/Standing on the sidelines/Dying again (for really real this time guys!)/Training in other world/trying to teach fusion dance/being dead again.
Honestly the only real times he's the focus during Z are the big fights (Raditz, Vegeta & Nappa, Ginyu and Final Form Frieza, Perfect Cell and Super/Kid Buu) in the series. During all the smaller fights (Everybody before Ginyu, Frieza 1-3, Androids, Imperfect/Semi-Perfect Cell and Fat Buu) He either clowns everybody in a few hits (Ginyu Force save for Guldo and Jeice who were both killed by Vegeta), is made to be incapacitated so he can't fight (Androids) or only fights to stall for time (Fat Buu). Everything else is mostly focused on Gohan (Especially when he was Training with Piccolo, but also most of Namek and of course the final fight with Cell) and Vegeta (Everything involving his fights with Frieza, Cell, when he turned Majin, and his involvement during the end of the Kid Buu fight.).
Everybody else got the short end of the stick, half the Z fighters were essentially useless (save for Piccolo and maybe Krillin and Tien), most of the supporting cast from Dragonball up and vanished (Poor poor Lunch.) but that sorta tends to happen with Shonen series.
Z's far from the excellence of the original Dragonball but its still far bettter than like 90% of shonens out there. One Piece might honestly be one of the few decent ones that's still around, if only because it has a feeling more of a grand adventure that doesn't always take itself with the utmost seriousness and less of a "Serial Escalation" vibe where everything keeps getting BIGGER AND BADDER and the stakes keep rising until it all just kinda ends on a wet fart.
Z was SUPPOSED to focus more on Gohan than Goku, but that just didn't really stick as more characters were added to the mix. I feel like Gohan got shafted hard after the Saiyan arc.
It was supposed to end after the Frieza saga, with Goku presumably dying.
But fans liked Goku too much, so Toriyama went "here, have an Android and Cell saga."
So then it was going to end after the Cell saga, which would have been [tornado fang]ing perfect, as Gohan would continue his father's legacy.
Fans wanted more. Then Toriyama said "Shut the [tornado fang] up and take this Buu saga!"
... And years later, we now have Super, so it's clearly all about the money now.
Actually those are just false rumors that have been circulated by the majority of the fans since they felt like DBZ should had ended at multiple points, the only thing that might be confirmed, I think it is and I have to double check to be sure on that, was that Toriyama wanted to make Gohan the main character after Cell but the Japanese audience didn't seem to like that idea and the executive meddling about the higher ups hating all the villains in the Cell Saga until Cell was made.
Further more Toriyama is only really responsible for the manga, not the anime that's adapted from the manga.
The only real kernel of truth in this is that the original Dragon Ball was supposed to be only 2 volumes long and he would go back to writing his other stuff. Then it got massively popular, so that's how we got here. Otherwise all those other rumors are false because Toriyama himself never said anything of the sort.
Well, then that works with Gohan meant to carry his father's legacy.
Only now, he's a boring ass student, and is barely part of the Z Fighters anymore, thanks to Chi-Chi.
That's another thing that the fans are wrong about, Chi Chi's not to blame for Gohan doing that, Gohan unfortunately doesn't like fighting as much as his father. I mean look at how traumatized he gets throughout Dragonball Z, I can't blame him for just wanting to be a normal guy, he's been forced to fight since he was 4! Yeah the guy has potential to surpass his Dad, but that doesn't mean he actually does when he only has a mild interest in Martial Arts.
My interpretation is that if Gohan was to be the main character he would be forced to fight because he's forced to, not because he wants to. Gohan himself would ultimately want to be Normal, but if his Dad were not around to pick up the entire DBZ universe's slack, Gohan would not be able to afford having a normal life and going home to be a family man.
So no it's not Chi Chi's fault, Gohan is just not a hard core fighter like his Dad is. He has an interest in Martial Arts, but he's not a fanatic and obsessed with it like his Dad and the others.
Besides can we really blame Chi Chi for you know, actually being a Mom? I mean she's abrasive don't get me wrong, but do you know any mom who would be okay to send their only child at the time to an unknown planet where he could be killed of disapper forever? Would any good mom actually say they can do that without resistance at Gohan's age? And don't get me started on how Goku and Vegeta get father of the year awards. Oh wait, no they don't because both of them are terrible Dads. I mean Goku is one of the nicest people you can talk to, and he obviously loves his family but he's honestly not a good Dad. And you know who doesn't become a terrible Dad? Gohan, Gohan is not a terrible Dad because he's not another Goku.
Besides if Gohan didn't become a Scholar he wouldn't write his book in the future that revived an interest in True Martial Arts and Ki Control again which also made Tien, Krillen, and Trunks and Goten open up Martial Arts Schools to teach many new generations various forms of Martial Arts and Ki Control. I mean you have to admit that's [tornado fang]ing badass, he started a freaking movement, even Goku couldn't do that!

Yeah. Think about it like the direction Vinland Saga went. Thorfinn becomes a heartless killer at a young age seeking revenge for his father's death. However, after some time, he mellows out and becomes very anti-violence, and now only fights when expressly necessary. It's a pretty standard trope, but it's criminally underused and I think DBZ handled it gracefully.
Of course, I know it's ultimately Gohan's decision to either focus on his studies or train to become a powerful warrior. But I still blame Chi-Chi for being absolutely relentless in keeping Gohan locked up in his room.
Even in the moments where Gohan DID want to help them out, she would insist on him being just a normal kid. Yes, I know that's a very motherly thing to do, but that doesn't magically make it not annoying. Parents are annoying, after all.
What made me cry on the inside, though, was in Resurrection F, Gohan said something along the lines of "I hope I still remember how to turn Super Saiyan."
Like, really?
It's gotten that bad. It's gotten to the point where he's unsure if he can transform.

Never heard of this series, I kind of want to check it out.
It's also worth noting that Toriyama is bad at writing women, and doesn't even know how to draw two people kissing.
That would explain why Chi-Chi is the basic naggy wife stereotype. Although Bulma is pretty cool, I guess.
Bulma also acts like a brat even in adulthood though, and it shows up at times even after marriage. I mean while I don't think Chi Chi is the reason why Gohan isn't as powerful as he should be I really don't like her either, she's way too extreme and I worry for her blood pressure. But yeah Toriyama doesn't write Women well, except 18. 18 is awesome and I wish she did more, we could use her snark. And 17, badass Park Ranger 17.
She's a normal that beds the Prince of all Saiyans.
Definitely something. 8D

So... basically some of my aunts. Acting like a brat doesn't end with adolescence or marriage.
Bulma stopped being hot after Namek (Future Bulma stayed hot though). Chi Chi stopped being hot after the 7 year timeskip between Cell and Buu (Arguably she stopped being hot after the end of Dragonball, but I insist she was still attractive until she lost the bangs). Videl was cute up through Battle of Gods (Seriously, she might not fight anymore but I really
really liked her outfit in BoG), and 18 only lost attractiveness after she cut her hair into the same ugly haircut Bulma has at the end of the series.
Of course come GT everybody's old.

Well, he went Super Saiyan for like 5 seconds in BoG, not for fighting but just for charging up Goku's God form.
Other than that wasn't his 'Ultimate' upgrade he got from Old Kai supposed to have basically overwritten his Super Saiyan transformation? Not that he actually ever got to use that ability since he never got the chance to actually do much fighting.
.....What does a woman's attractiveness and your personal tastes have to do with their characterizations? o-O
I have no idea. I think i just kinda went off on a tangent.
Point I was trying to make before I got distracted, attitudes don't always change with age, Bulma mostly stayed the same, so when she got older/married her having mostly the same personality as she dod when she was 15/16 sort of comes off as childish.
Chi Chi on the other hand changed a lot, giving up martial arts (though still able to kick ass) to focus on being a doting parent even if her methods weren't always the best. And like Gohan compared to Goku, Videl mellows out with age too, giving up fighting really early on and becoming a very relaxed wife and mother.
18 mostly stayed the same. Not fighting as much but she barely fought anyway.
Yeah though admittedly I don't think Chi Chi changed all that much despite giving up Martial Arts, and even then as a kid she was more interested in having a family more than anything. Though she did become more irritable, but I think being married to someone like Goku would do that to you I guess. Otherwise she just devoted her energy to being a mother but she really didn't change that much, irritability aside.
Speaking of which does anyone remember why she and Goku live in the middle of nowhere?

I was more concerned that he couldn't use the unlocked potential from the Elder Kaioshin either, and he has to power up with SSJ

I'm pretty sure its right next to where he lived as a child. At least that's what it looks like in the old GBA game.
Wasn't there a shrine dedicated to Grandpa Gohan near his house in Z? The same one Goku Jr ended up finding in Hero's legacy when he went searching for the Dragon Ball?
Going to watch some Re: Zero. The two twin maids interest me enough to watch it.
Why are people complaining about Gohan when clearly it should be Goku and Vegeta they should be complaining about. Gohan stays true to his character and development and for some reason the series treats it as a bad thing. Goku has turned into Peter from Family Guy and any growth Vegeta had during the Buu saga is gone, never to be seen.
^ Vegeta getting no more growth? His interaction with Cabba in SUPER is a thing that happened.
Which felt very cheap. Because he still has this "rivalry" with Goku and pretty much always treated every other Saiyan like trash, but then suddenly he treats Cabba differently??? That's not growth, that's inconsistent writing. I don't expect great writing from DB of all things, but I wanna be able to enjoy it without getting angry at every line Goku and Vegeta spout.

Having watched Dragon Ball Super and reread the Buu Saga, I really don't like how they potray and having always Goku finishing every single and at the same time wasting a lot of time in Super.
In Buu Saga, everyone was so desperate to kill Buu and I recall Goku even regret not finishing Fat Buu when he should have. And when Buu finally got he's Super form, Goku himself admitted he can't beat Super Buu in his current state and had to leave it to Goten and Trunks, but even that failed because Gotenks wasted too much time when they could've just straight way vaporize him when they could have. Just gonna skip to the end, Goku is forced to rely on everyone just to kill Buu and I kinda like that, even Hercule had character progression throughout it but in the end Goku was the one who finished the job as always(minus Cell saga in which Gohan killed off Cell in the end).
Every single [parasitic bomb] that happened start from Cell saga was because the character flaw who are so powerful are so egoistic, bullshitting and dragging their tail around that they deserved to get whooped in the ass in the end.
And then we have Dragon Ball Super, Goku's always stays super excited on fighting every single strong people which always drags out even against Frieza. Tbh I don't really see him do that much in Z, or I just kinda forgot. I feel like any character development in Buu Saga was just lost. Dragon Ball Super to me is always about power up-ing and OH IM SO EXCITED I WANNA FIGHT STRONG PEOPLE which is starting to get boring. Goku forcing Monaka to fight him was just painful to watch if you ask me even if it's just a misunderstanding.
Also God Saiyan Goku and Beerus clashing cosmic shacking punch was like the most boring and draggiest thing I've ever watched in a shonen anime.

I just finished watching all of Naruto--including Shippuden--yesterday. It was better than I remember it being. I did skip the filler episodes, thankfully. There were so many. The problem with the filler in Naruto was how confusing it made the canon episodes. Characters would act strange--especially Sasuke--and the events wouldn't align with the continuity of the other episodes. Anyway, Naruto was okay. The war arc took way too long.
Finally done watching Re: Zero, for now.
