Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: SleepyD on August 25, 2006, 05:11:48 PM
Since there's a "what's playing" thread, I shall replicate that here.


I'm currently watching the following:
Ouran High School Host Club
NHK ni Yokoso (Welcome to the NHK)
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni

I just finished The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya just a couple weeks ago


My comments? I'll keep it short.
Ouran: Looks like a shoujo-type anime, but it is still funny.
NHK: haha, I'm loving this.  It's about a hikikomori and a girl trying to get him out. Otaku culture seems to crop up a bit too, much like in Genshiken... ^^
Higurashi: Who doesn't love cute little girls with sharp things and murderous intent? haha
Haruhi: If you've been on 4chan you've prolly seen a lot of this.  I found this amusing.  A bunch of high school students, and only one of them is normal. hah

QuoteA bunch of high school students, and only one of them is normal. hah

In the world of anime, is there ever a "normal" character?

In response to your actual question, I am currently watching no anime.

True, but compared to the others, he is a very confused normal guy. haha

"Confused normal guy"-Just like me (however, if I actually looked at the series, I'm probably nothing like him)!

At this time I have no money to spend on DVD's. I'm saving my money so I can rush into Best Buy in April and buy a copy of Windows Vista.

yeah it is funny  ;001 , but it's the opposite of Dark


but its cool...
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Pitkin on August 30, 2006, 05:20:50 AM
Actually, when I first heard the opposite of Dark was going to be Krad, momentarily I decided to stop watching the whole series; one of those 'funny' things I find about as smart as any adventure novel written by a 10-year-old grade-schooler (this 10-year-old grade schooler refers to myself and doesn't seek to undermine the literary skills of any other 10-year-old grade schooler, no sirree). That decision of mine didn't last for longer than two minutes, though; DN Angel's a very cool series, and after all, in Japanese it's not all that simple (daaku - kuraddo). :D

As for me, I'm on my eternally-lasting journey of watching Pani Poni Dash!, Fruits Basket, Full Metal Panic! (first season), Binchoutan and Powerpuff Girls Z. Watching them so slowly that I'll be doing this in 2008 still for sure. :D

I've only read a couple volumes of DNAngel. Haven't seen the anime.
Haha, I got a bunch of stuff to watch too... Ouran Host Club, NHK ni Youkoso!, Pani Poni, FMA (I absolutely refuse to watch it on CN... not that I can anyway haha), Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni, Eva (yes... I haven't finished it...), Zero no Tsukaima, Keroro gunso.... I think those are the ones I haven't finished.... haha long list.

Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Alex Stankevitch on August 31, 2006, 07:31:59 PM
Well im watching a few at the moment and my list moves VERY fast:

Final Approach:

One evening a 15yr old girl uses a jet pack to burst into a lads apartment and tells him that she is his fiance. This happened because there is a lack of childbirths in Japan and the government is using a supercomputer to link couple's together. As of now ive only watched the first episode...

To Heart 2 (waiting on episode 13):

Its a story about one lad who doesnt do soo well with girls but manages to make friends with a few. One of them is an alien, there are a couple of twins who are complete opposites of eachother, there is a quite teachers pet sort of girl, a tom-boy type of girl and the older girl. Not to mention the younger childhood friend who has fallen in love with the boy though he doesnt realise it, thats why im waiting for the last episode.

Ouran High School Host Club

You know the story to that  ;010

Mahou Senshi Negima

The story is about a 10yr old welsh boy who comes to an all-girls school in Japan and becomes their homeroom teacher, though he cant tell anyone he is a magician. This makes all sorts of problems for "Negi" as all the girls are older than him. This has been released on DVD.

Powerpuff Girls Z:

Basically its like Sailor Moon but with a powerpuff girl twist to it, I find it interesting.

Bokura Ga Ita:

A romance based anime with some humor as Nana and Yano love eachother but arnt completely sure what to do ect ect. I think its kind of slow but a good watch when your tired.

Ive also got these on my list to watch:

Kanon
Shakugan no Shana
Bokura Wa Imouto Ni Koi Wo Suru
I"s Pure
Girls Bravo[/b]

Post by: SleepyD on August 31, 2006, 08:10:14 PM
Alex: interesting list... ^^
I don't know very many of them, since usually I go for more action-y, serious ones.  Although, Jeff knows he needs funny in his life.
I liked Shakugan no Shana.  There was a bit too much loli for some of my friends tho. lol

Ouran is great.  I don't know if I can start a discussion about it tho. ^^;

I know Darknight has seen Higurashi.  Where is he?

well, I'll be back. discuss discuss. ^^

And in the waiting list (downloaded the entire series, but haven't see it)

LOL, as of now ive completed Kaykuusei 2 and Final Approach.

Kaykuusei 2 is slow but it takes alot of understanding power and using your brain for the story. Not much in the way of plot-building as some episodes are interweived in a strange way involing time. If you want to watch be either half asleep or ready to comprehend.

Final Approach is like an average Government makes some poor lad have a wife anime, similar to Rizelmine without the Ecchi parts. Makes for an ok watch when you dont have anything else.

To be honest ive never seen that, even tough id want to as its a space film and all and I really like stuff like that (Im also a Trekkie).

Id say watch it for yourself and try to understand it...

well, 2001: A space Odyssey its looooong. And If you're expecting something like Star Wars, then don't watch it. Its more of a deep movie than an action one(well, there's a computer that tries to kill everyone). But it's really good.

I usually get old torrents from...well, whatever site shows up in google. But the usual are: www.mininova.com , www.torrentspy.com , http://thepiratebay.org/  and  www.torrentreactor.com

And I'm starting Zero no Tsukaima.  I just had to after watching Shana.
And... rewatching Gunslinger Girl too. ^^

well, I didn't knew (never seen Star Trek). Today I learnt something :D

But I'm more a man of action (and obviously then, weapons). Star Wars, War of the Worlds. And anime like Full Metal Panic!, Gundam and...uh, well, I don't remember all right now.

Though the WoW movie was brilliant along with the Scary Movie 4 Parody (see trailer on Google Video). I prefer the Jeff Wayne musical version, especially on the long drives to london and back. Thats like 6-7 hours in a car. Also good for plane flights on my PSP with a spare battery  ;010

Lyrical Nanoha was indeed very good; I especially liked the second season, which is quite unusual for me when it comes to anime.

Mahoromatic and bleach were two personal favorites of mine.  BTW, newyins, go get books 7-8 of that series, and skip watching the last like, 2 eps.  its not worth it!

I picked up the FMA movie today, and now I will finaly get to see the end of that dilightfully disturbing series (like mahoromatic, its both funny, yet depressing at the same time.  screwy anime/maga writters)

We all need that "sweet" stuff now and again. After seeing the somewhat bittersweet last episodes of Mahoromatic (no, Captain, I did not take your advice), I needed something funny like Love Hina to make me laugh after a long day of homework, school, and studying.

If they're fansubs, I've already named some.

If they're... something else, there's another place in this forum for that.

If... it's still something else, I have no idea what it is, go to 4chan or something. lol

I decided to begin watching Zero no Tsukaima.  So I downloaded an episode via BitTorrent, just to see if I'd like it.

So it's an MPEG-4 file, which both QuickTime and Windows Media Player are supposed to be able to play.  But did they?  Hell, no!

DivX is always yacking on about how it plays MPEG-4s, so I attempted to install its codec and player.  Would they install?  Hell, no!

Windows Millennium Edition no longer exists, as far as the shitheads at DivX are concerned.  Hopefully they'll all burn in Hell, the useless tossers.

MPEG-4s go right into the trash henceforth.  I'll see if I can find an AVI version and pray that'll play on one of these lame-ass media unplayers.

How come people can't post torrents which are plain old MPEG files, or MOV files?  No, that would be too easy for the geeky bastards.

Apparently, nowadays you need a different media player for each and every file type.  "Let's make those 'end users' guess which player will play this nifty new kind of file we're designing!  Then let's chuckle whilst they try to find it; and roll on the floor laughing when they try installing it!"

I just use Media Player Classic and the CCCP codec pack (http://www.cccp-project.net/).  I never used to install codec packs, but this one actually works.  Now pretty much all files play, without any hassle.
Title: Yay!
Post by: MisterCat on October 05, 2006, 06:00:53 AM
Thank you very much, Silentbob, for your greatly-appreciated advice!  I'll install that codec pack in just a little while, then go hunting for a torrent and see if the dumb fuckers who design media players will let me watch it.

true. Media player/Real player/Quicktime are real picky and require alot of codecs and extra stuff to play basic crap like .AVI files. Lol i can't complain though, i have all the codecs for WMP and i use Real every so often but i don't really recommend Real. Use open-source or WMP w/ divx 4 codecs for best results ;011

Title: Bad news, good news
Post by: MisterCat on October 06, 2006, 02:15:20 AM
Well, I downloaded that Combined Community Codec Pack recommended by Silentbob; and I put Zoomplayer in charge of playing all multi-media stuff, as NewYinzer suggested.  Zoomplayer presented me with a list of codecs it couldn't find on my local machine, so I followed its instructions and installed 547 different codecs (give or take).

That Zero no Tsukaima MPEG-4 torrent still wouldn't play, so I've given up on it and will order BitTorrent to spend the night downloading a different file type.  Then we shall see ââ,¬â€ or not.

But I want to thank both NewYinzer and Silentbob for introducing me to the wonderful world of wild (as opposed to tame) media players.  By the way, I'm convinced Windows Media Player is spying on me; so I'm going to uninstall it if possible or simply rip it out (via file/folder Search and RegCleaner) if it won't go peacefully.

Must be some funky format if CCCP can't find a codec for it then, yeah.   Better find some other version.  I know how frustrating that can be, you download something and it won't play no matter what you do.

Title: At last!
Post by: MisterCat on October 07, 2006, 12:50:08 PM
Success!  I've finally succeeded in my attempts to view an episode of Zero no Tsukaima!  Hooray for me.

;012

Having returned the MPEG-4 version of the torrent back to the cosmos (via the Delete function) I downloaded an AVI version.  It plays!  *prolonged applause ensues*

;019

The audio is excellent and so is the video.  But what of magi Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst and Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière, along with their colleagues?

;018

Well, first of all, the length of their names is nothing when compared to the overly-long main-title song:  It sounds like a Japanese version of some tune from Sesame Street, in other words it's much like a lot of anime main-title music.  The words "advertising" and "peppy" spring to mind.

;013

Kids' music aside, it's totally refreshing to see a female character's likeness and name appear in the main title before those of the requisite ballast ââ,¬â€ the annoying middle-school boy.  But, even more relief is at hand:  Not only are the usual scenery-eating boy-hero clichés kept to a bare minimum, but Kirche and Louise actually accomplish difficult and sometimes heroic tasks with no help whatsover from the male bubble-gummer.

;010

I've read what I can find in regard to this series, so I know the Japanese patriarchy rears its ugly head during the final episode.  Surprise, surprise!  But, hey, at least the expected sexist bullshit is (in the main) wonderfully absent during most of the episodes.

:smoke:

Louise is Our Hero, Kirche is a hero too (though the two of them are immersed in a we-don't-like-one-another cliché) and I'm quite looking forward to screening all the episodes ââ,¬â€ even though I've not the storage space to keep the whole series.  Three cheers, by the way, for Zoomplayer and its 1,592,812 codecs!

To those who play flight sims, yes, I know it's unrealistic. To those who've never heard of it, think of it as a semi-flight sim with an good war story in a fictional world. ^^

H'okay, why am I saying this?

Yea, Mahoromatic was great, i was just annoyed that not enough romantic action was going on with Mahoro and Suguru. And that bazooka-chested teacher can go to hell. If I was Suguru id get a needle and pop those things.

I also own the WHOLE Elfen Lied series, not fully watched it yet as ive got about 3-4 on the go and im still doing my Battlefield and Battlefield 2.

Ill probably have a go at the Mahoro AMV if I can get the video sequences right, but if not ill have to do something else and it will include subs im afraid. Ill do more work.

Glad to hear that. I agree it could have had more romantic elements, but a rich plot and good characters make it a good anime. I agree, there is a point in which a breast defies gravity and becomes a flotation device.

Does anyone know if the following titles are worth an immediate download and/or purchase?

Jigoku Shoujo
Karin
Shakugan no Shana

I've seen the three listed in the quote.  

Jigoku Shoujo was kinda long and dragged out, there was just too much of the same going on in every episode, but some people liked it.  But for me the storyline just progressed too slowly for my taste.  But you could always give it a try and see if you like it better. I see there's also a live action and also a second season airing right now.

Karin was kinda cute.  About a vampire family that are "nice" people in their own way.  Plotwise it's not that original, but it has a number of funny moments which makes it worth watching.  There was only extremely annoying character though, you'll know who I mean if you watch it.  ;)

Shakugan no Shana was probably the best of the three.  Combined drama and action fairly well, at least I thought. A bit complicated storyline to recap in short words, but you should give it a whirl.  The female lead character even has a few short special episodes dedicated to her, where she is chibified as the ridiculously noisy and selfish Shana-tan.  (Yes! Yet another -tan!  :D)

Watch it here (no subs though) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ul_pMNG7Ck

BTW, the video of Shana-tan is impossibly cute, but I also managed to see a few previews of the series as well.  Oh yeah, definitely must-see.  ^__^

Don't worry, I know it sucks.  ^__^
Not the worse series I've seen, though ('Hand Maid May' and 'Princess Army' make Bravo look like Mononoke Hime), but it's very often not funny and some of the perversions do get cruelly out of hand (like the two aformentioned monstrosities).

On the other hand, the series has something that most Anime series lack....  -v-

A SHORT MALE LEAD!!!  ^V^

...

...

Although now that I think about it... Ã,¬__Ã,¬

The series botches that too since the female lead is shorter...

Jeff shall add his support for Shana.  I think I'm used to complicated storylines, so I had no problem with that... SilentBob summed it up well.

Hey, btw sairentobobu, have you seen Itadaki no Hecate-tan? I don't know of anyone who subbed it, but the raws are funny anyway. XD;

Haha, I was watching Azumanga Daioh with my cousins on Thanksgiving.    I've had the box set, but I've never had time to watch.  I will say that things like these are much funnier with other people around. (Unless they're annoying people, but my cousins aren't annoying)

Mai Otome is not as good as Mai HiME, but if you need a mahou shoujo  fix, it should be enough to hold you over.  Oh, if you like shoujo-ai, you have some Shiz-Nat going on there. And... yeah, there's more couples.

I've heard good things about Eureka 7... haven't watched it, but I have a poster of it I got at AX.


As for what I'm watching right now, it's R.O.D. the TV. Being the nerd that I am, attacking people with paper is quite intriguing.

No no no, it's not "sairentobobu".
It's "amigabobu".  ^__^

He told me himself that's what he prefers to be called (really).  ^.^
Okay, we're sort of a go on Mai Otome and apparently I didn't waste my money on Eureka 7.  -v-

In addition....

Oh, and I do have ROD the TV.  Wonderful, but can't say much that's not a spoiler.  -v-'

BTW, am I being overly nice if I keep allowing a share ratio (as far as torrents go) greater than 1.0?
Title: It's opinion time!
Post by: MisterCat on December 02, 2006, 11:39:13 PM
C-Chan, you're being nice either way.  If you have files to share with others that's very nice; but if you'd don't, it's quite all right to download them anyway because that's what they're there for!

All this business about "leeching" and "seeding" is a lot of esoteric malarkey, insofar as file sharing is by its very nature an exoteric activity.  It's like saying, "I'll give you a drink if you're thirsty, but only if you've given me a drink first."

Post by: SleepyD on December 03, 2006, 01:10:00 AM
well, being one that tends to download things that aren't that popular, (and hence, get less seeders,) I do promote seeding over 1.0.

If you download something with, say, 50+ seeds and 100+ leechers, yeah, you're being nice if you seed.  
If it's 2 seeds and 10 leechers, well, I believe you should seed at least to 1.0. As a courtesy, not as a duty. I, for one, will seed for quite a while.

I am currently rotating about 3-5 torrents to seed, all of which have 0-2 seeders.  Any torrent with a number of seeds immediately goes away from my torrent list after a ratio of 1.2

(yes, 1.2, not 1.0.  Just a thing I do, having been annoyed to no end with torrents at 97% and unable to complete them. I currently have one that is like that. It has been that way for about a month now, with 5-20 leechers at the same point.)
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Silentbob on December 03, 2006, 05:20:44 AM
Much like SleepyD, if I'm on a torrent with few seeders I usually seed for a while.  But if there's an overwhelming amount of seeds/leechers, I just finish the torrent and get off the tracker.

Wow, thank y'all for boosting my ego.  Now I feel saintly by comparison to your average leecher.  ^v^

Unfortunately, in between torrent downloads and cheap DVDs, now I have enough Anime to burn....  I've never had such a major backlog like this...  @___@'

*pops in DVD-R with Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu Final episodes*
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Pitkin on December 05, 2006, 06:52:20 AM
I found both the DLX and Final 'series' of Jungle wa Itsumo Hale nochi Guu very disappointing; the original series reached its peak entertainment value around the time of appearance of Robert-san, but after that it simply began losing its glamour... DLX was dreadful, while Final was already a step towards better, yet not on the par with the actual thing. v_v

I've seen the series three times. ^o^

Oh yeah, I downloaded myself the whole Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi this Sunday. I had never really even considered doing that, despite some people kept shoving praise upon it, but after I coincidentally heard the song SOS Nara Daijoubu (sung by the main character's seiyuu Aya Hirano), I couldn't stay clear. It seems very very funny at the moment, just like a series I generally like. ^^
Title: What anime are ya watching?

Join the fray, brother.  ^___^

But yeah, didn't mean personality-wise -- just in appearance, she looked tit-for-tat like 3.11-sama.  ^__^
Personality she has none (definitely no Suigintou), although 3.11-sama does strike me as a bit of the silent type.  -v-

Suigintou is just the best!  I mean, at first she was just an uber cool Cold dark Villan (hey im the guy that was rooting for the empire in star wars) then in the final ep of the first season you see her true motives... ;_; it was just so sad.  It was so terribly sad!  The only reason I was desperate to see season 2 was so i could see if she could redeam herself, and she did!  By not only overcoming her junk complex, but by adopting her very own emo girl!  Btw.. she had the coolest enterence in the second one!  Fuck all that will you wind/not wind crap,   her enterence in the ruined church has anything shinku and the others did beat!  She is a wonderfully unique and complex character full of emotion and drop dead looks (and wonderful taste in dresses!)

bara on the otherhand.... Fails at life -_- her ownly redemption is her imitation of 3.1sama, beloved by all, Who for the record is not emotionless, she just dosent know how to express herself.

Here are some anime I am seeing or had simply spotted on italian broadcasts. Some are second or third or even fifth issue on italian televisions.


Rai2 national state broadcast 2nd channel:

- Titti e gatto Silvestro (Silvester and Tweey)

- Tom and Jerry Show (ancient Tom and Jerry cartoons from '40 upto '60 are issued forever and ever)

- House of Mouse Show from Disney


MTV Italy national private broadcast:

- Ranma 1/2 - Serie 2 (Uncensored version. Other TVs had broadcasted it censored)
   
- Beavis & Butthead Xmas Special   

- Inuyasha - Serie 5
   
- FullMetal Alchemist   

- Beck (Mongolian Chop Squad)    

- Daitarn 3 (I don't see it because it is version dubbed again into italian! What a shame! italian dubbing of the 'eighties was perfect. New one sounds me odd!    

Starting from january 2007 on MTV:

- Nana


On Italia1 national private broadcast:

- L'alce Elliot (Elliot Moose)

- Dora l'esploratrice (Dora the explorer)

- Dennis (Dennis the menace)

- Scooby-Doo

- Keroro

- SpongeBob

- Tokyo Mew Mew

- l'ape Maya (aka Maya the bee - Mitsubachi Maya no boken)

- Ojamayo Doremi

- Doraemon (again a redub version and censored!...)

BTW. I hate Italia1!!!!! They acquire cartoons like Gundam (redubbed) and Naruto censoring it and trying to spread it as cartoon for kids!)

- Luca Tortuga (Touché Turtle)


On "Odeon TV" national circuit of associated TVs:

- The Tick

On some local channel I don't remember... (maybe Telecapri local Naples private broadcast):

- Tenchi Muyo

DVD I bought almost 1 month ago and only yesterday I had the chance to saw:

Il Castello Errante di Howl (Howl's Moving Castle)


And in Christmas time national TV brodacasts, TV circuits and local TVs are full of movie cartoons like:

- Flintstones Xmas movies

- Muppets

- Asterix and Obelix movies



Italian movies like "Opopomoz"

Post by: CaptBrenden on December 26, 2006, 01:26:07 PM
asterix... now that takes me back.. tho I just read the books, never seen him in a TV show.

As for anime on TV, I watch none.  Much for the reason you mentioned... the Censoring for childeren.  you had some good shows listed on there, Like Ranma 1/2 and FMA.  Speaking of that tho.. Id think it would be damn near impossible to edit that one enough for child veiwing o_O tho I love itthe show is so fucked up and depressign sometimes you wanna shoot yourself.  Tho, masterfully done.

Well, Rozen Maiden: Ouverture rocked, it should be watched.  Nice heartfelt moments in there.

man...I guess you won't like it Ã,¬Ã,¬
I mean, It's a mecha genre series Ã,¬Ã,¬
And we're talking about characters designed by CLAMP, and that means: Anorexic males, Pointed-chin, schoolgirls uniforms, and the NOODLE PEOPLE syndrome (artwork wich doesn't depict an accurate human anatomy).
-___-

But personally I think it's a great show. The only show I'm downloading this season (Black Lagoon ended, just waiting for the subs. NHK ended)


...

I'm watching Full Metal Panic (Original and The second raid) again =D. I just have to say that it's still AWESOME.
AWESOME.

I should watch Rozen Maiden Traumend, but I'm too lazy =/


...
Updates of what I saw while I was gone:
-Voices of a distant star. Well, character artwork isn't really that great, but considering  the whole series was done by only 1 man, I'll let that pass. Great story, but I'd like to know what happened in the end =/. Masterpiece In My Humble Opinion
-Magical Lyrical Girl Nanoha (Also, Nanoha A's). The first season is average, not really great. Has some great fighting scenes. The second season...completely different. GREAT. That's all I have to say. Signum rules :D
-The place promised in our early days. AWESOME. Everything it's great: animation, artwork, music, story, development, etc. One of the best movies I have ever seen, really.

Actually I hear Overture is a prequal... But you have to see traumend cus it introduced Megu, Suigintous dying suicide sick girl medium, and the 6th episode is the coolest in the series sofar and its almost compleatly Suigintou. Top of that its got the most bad ass scean of her flying through her world covered in snow with the most bad ass song (which shows up no where else in the seres to my knowlage)

*pulls forward cart full of Miyazaki films*

Hmm, lesse.....

QuoteWhat I don't like

annoying male characters:  Nope.  Very unannoying male characters.
annoying music:  Hell no.
big-jaw artwork;  Vintage-style, but I don't think there are giant jaws.  ^^'
biological excretions or secretions:  Unless you count the Stink God from Spirited Away, no.  -v-
diapers:  O_o  Umm... only on babies.  ^^'
dick girls:  No Hacchan here.  ^__^
disintegrating clothing:  Nope.
female characters in frilly clothing:  Only when it fits the era (Howl's Moving Castle)
flat-butt artwork:  Nausicaa looks curvy to me.  -v-
girly-male artwork:  Look at Porco Rosso.  ^.^
heroin-addict artwork (anorexic males):  Nope.  ^^
mecha:  planes outnumber mecha in his work.  ^__^
maids:  some in The Cat Returns, but they're cats.  ^^'
male-superiority formulae;  BY GAWD NO.  Miyazaki-san is more feminist than even all of his Japanese and American counterparts combined!  
mouth-too-small artwork:  Nope... good-size mouths
nuns:  not in any kinky way
nurses:  ditto
old-fashioned-panties artwork:  Maybe Kiki, but I believe they're just bloomers.  -v-
pointed-chin artwork:   artwork is too rounded for my tastes, so definitely no pointy chins.  -v-
ridiculously-large-breasts artwork:  Yubaba from Spirited Away is about the closest you'll get too abnormally large breasts  *snicker snicker*  -v-
schoolgirl uniforms:  very sparing with schoolgirl uniforms.  -v-
tentacles:  unless it's from a real octopus
yaoi:  Nope.  

QuoteWhat I like:
artwork which indicates ability to depict correct human anatomy:  mmmm-hmmmm. ^__^
non-submissive female characters:  You can't get anymore unsubmissive.  ^____^
sexy clothing for females:  mmmmmm,... depends on your definition of "sexy".  -v-
yuri:  That's up to your imagination.  ^__^

So it's settled then.... C-chan hereby decrees that MisterCat-san and Miyazaki-san's films were made for eachother.  ^v^

*shoves cart at MisterCat*

In other news, I see there's still ample talk of Suigintou, although I should probably point out that Suiseiseki is pretty evil too.  *v*

Usually characters like Gin-chan aren't exactly my cup of tea, but Trauemend really did much to flesh out her personality.  Having been able to experience her full personality, I can even say it resembles the proposed personality for OS/2-tan -- that of the deep, psychologically-scarred psycho woman with a vendetta against her sisters and a repressed soft spot.   -v-

I was watching Futago Hime, but I only watched up to episode 5 because the subs on Youtube only go up to episode 5. What a shame because Futago Hime is one of my favorite anime serieses!

But I'm now also watching Nanoha A's and it is AWESOME! Not sure if I'm going to watch the first season though because it doesn't have the Velka Knights in it because they're what made Nanoha A's so awesome! (Especially Signum and Vita)

May start watching Negima (both serieses plus the dub for comparison) if I have the patience to sift through all the AMVs and crud to get to the actual episodes on Youtube. May also start watching Rozen Maiden again too.

Many thanks, honorable C-Chan, are hereby given you for your excellent report comparing my humble taste in anime/games/manga characters/series with the work of Miyazaki-san!  I shall take your conclusion to heart and seek said series via "the usual methods."

Try out uTorrent. It's great. I doesn't consume system resources like BitTorrent does.

Yep, MamaDOS does have her sadistic streak.  ^__~

Oh, and don't forget that's "Hayao Miyazaki", MisterCat-san.  ^__^

If you can get the original fansubs, more power to you.  Disney unfortunately hogged the licenses for all the movies, and did everything in their power to "Disneyfy" the presentation.

Title: uTorrent
Post by: MisterCat on December 27, 2006, 10:51:20 PM
Thanks, NewYinzer, for the uTorrent suggestion!  It's turning out to be much faster than BitTorrent (many more sources) and, as you asserted, it doesn't suck up random-access memory like a sponge.

It's a bit odd, though, insofar as when uTorrent is running everything on my screen continuously freezes and unfreezes.  Never the less, the operating system doesn't throw up any Blue Screens Of Death and the torrent keeps flowing in/out at a respectable rate; so as long as I don't need to use the machine for something else, such as composing this reply, uTorrent is just fine; and, apart from the patience-inducing freeze/unfreeze mantra, it's a great improvement over BitTorrent.

*also makes note of name "Hayao Miyazaki"*

Quotedick girls: No Hacchan here. ^__^

you know... Sechan is gonna cut off your sausage link for that.

anyhow...  I was thinking about something on my drive home.  It came to me when I picked up the Phantom Of the Opera to listen to while I drove.  The phantom is another one of those characters I really love.  So wonderfully complex.  But he reminded me of Suigintou  for some reason (plus the first track on the cd was called overture and thats what got me thinking about it)

Born differnt and created a metal complex that drives him to do anything nessicary to acheive his goal, even if overall the goal is actually one of pure and true love.  Like gins junk complex and her love of father and megu.  

that and he says Oh you fool! like she does, its awsome. Those two are a matching pair.

Again, I was rooting for him. I always end up rooting for the bad guys, even tho they never get to win.


in other news.. I have Highspeed again.. and .....and... ovetrure is not downloading!! NUUUU!  the links on animesukie list no uploaders or downloaders.. hell they dont even give 0 0, its - and -

this vexes me.... anyone know why this is, or has a diffent torrent link?



also... I was thinking of making an AMV, but the sub video quality is rather poor -_- what to do... ever heard that techno song about like "who the fuck is alice?"  i think its on one of my happy hardcore CDs.  That song would make an awsome Rozen Maiden AMV! but I am a video file so the sub quality bugs me alot.. that and the text raises and issue to be sure... what do do what to do?

But that pair of episodes really made me like her even more.. its really sad how she finaly ended up.. all angry and bitter.. but shinku did it to her! that evil girl!!  

And also.. of all the dolls compeating.. who really does have the strongest and purest reason for their desier to be alice?  They all talk about.. its what they have to do, cus they dont want to make father sad.. but her.. her reasons are so much srtonger and she has had to live through so much and fight so hard... I dont nessicarily want to see her beat the others.. but when they find a way other then the alice game to becocme alice, i hope it is her.

Post by: MisterCat on December 29, 2006, 01:29:13 AM
I've just screened the first episode of Suzumiya Haruhi no YÃ...«utsu and I found it entertaining and witty.  Thanks to NewYinzer's suggestion that I use Ã,µTorrent for downloading, I was able to snag the entire series in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, my local machine's storage capacity is not great; so once I watch an episode I delete it.  Alas, this procedure does not augur well for my building a library of such files!

Anyway, I enjoyed the narrator's witty remarks and the fact that this episode is a scenario within a scenario.  Poor little Mikuru Asahina!  I fear things will get worse for her as time goes on.  *hugs*

Recently finished watching Rozen Maiden's OVA, Overture, and Dokuro-chan. Funnily enough, these are my top two animes :D
Rozen Maiden is always amazing, easily my fav series. Moe Gin-sama is MOE!
Heres (http://desudesu.org/anime-img/) some caps I did recently of Dokuro-chan for someone if anyones interested. The anime has no real plot, so theres not really any spoilers in there. Suffice to say, the series is EPIC lulz. I would recommend it to anyone.

I am on-again-off-again watching Chobits, but its nowhere near as good as the manga, WAY too much filler for a series that short.

I'm also watching Happiness! but slow subbers are sloooooooooow so I'm only on ep 5 :(
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: CaptBrenden on December 29, 2006, 05:28:16 PM
Keep watching Aroura!  The series continues to get better, and what makes Gin-sama truely loveable hasnt really happened yet.  At that point she is just a very awsome villan type girl.. but when all of her reasons and such start coming out..

Hina is fun and cute... But I get a little anoyed with her tenertantrums she has sometimes...


I really need a new series to get adicted too.. or im not gonna survive the wait for a third season of Rozen maiden.

Oh right.  -v-
For a Chobits clone, try DearS if you haven't already.  It's a mixed bag, but fun to watch nonetheless.  ^__^

Aurora -- that's right, you said before that Gina was your favorite.  Even if you hadn't, she really does seem to suit your tastes.  ^v^

I'm a fan of the underdog, so technically-speaking my favorite SHOULD be Kirakishou.  But I'm also a sucker for strong, reasonable and free-minded female characters, hence why the likes of Claes-sama and Suiseiseki-sama will always be my kind of girls.  ^__^

(Plus Suiseiseki is also just so darn cute AND evil at the same time, it's a match made in heaven.  -v-)

But yeah, I second the Captain.  Trauemend will blow you away.  ^__^

Speaking of which, Captain, go try Shakugan no Shana if you haven't already to fill in the void.  Works for me, anyways.  -v-

Suiseiseki is cool too and somewhat of a mysterious character, IMO. When she was introduced, she seemed like a whole 'nother person compared to later on. Why, at first she only called Jun "Chibi", "Human", or a combination of the two and seems to despise him, but in one of the episodes (ep. 8, I think), she actually called Jun by his name and didn't want him to get hurt!

its definitly a love hate relationship between the two.  She refuses to admit her ffeelings as long as the series has gone on so far.  


Henrietta is indeed the best, but amungst those girls it is very hard to choose from them but she stands out from the others as a little more special.

Plus, she uses a FN-P90

So I screened the first episode of Code Geass last night.  I don't think I'll bother downloading/screening any more episodes of that series.

I really wanted to like Code Geass, but there's just way too much mecha involved; and, anyway, girly-man lead characters don't do anything for me.  C.C. seems a fascinating character, but I'm not willing to sit through a bunch of Tinker Toys mecha-malarkey waiting for her to be featured more prominently ââ,¬â€ if she ever is, given the fact the producers are fixated with anorexic pointy-chin guys decorated like wedding cakes.

I screened a few episodes of UG Ultimate Girls some months ago and quite enjoyed it for what it's intended to be; namely, a send-up of the Japanese-monster genre.  It doesn't pretend to be anything else; and for that, I admire its producers.

These whiny detractors with their complaints about "fan service" and such like need to mellow out:  It's all make-believe, so just shut up and go read an improving book whilst the rest of us become murdering rapists or raping murderers due to having watched that series.  Don't worry, we won't blame you during the course of our police interrogations!

Anyway, I propose we immediately create The International Koharuno Shiruku Appreciation Society.  It'll anger all those anally-retentive prudes who rail against "fan service"; and that's good enough for me.

Now just finished watching the first episode of Traumend! The new opening theme song is even more catchy and mesmerizing (and so was the animation)!

My thoughts on the episode:

*I like Barasuisho too!

*Still don't know what happened to Suigintou.

*The scene where Suigintou appeared in Shinku's dream reminds me of one of the famous scenes in "The Terminator" (with the flames and the breaking and whatnot)

*Where the heck does Jun get all those windows?! I mean, windows don't come cheap and Suiseiseki and Souseiseki always come in, break the window and smack Jun in the head with their suitcases!

*Also, How does Jun get right back up after a double suitcase headsmack manuever? Does he have a very thick reinforced skull? Happens so much he doesn't care anymore? 0__o

*ive decided I like Bara.. tho she is cuter without the eyepatch

*you will.. but it will be a while.. but she comes back with a vengence! And a uber cool music sequence

*That was kinda creepy actualy. but the evil witch deserves the nightmares.

*shinku fixes them with juns power remember?

*He has developed an immunity


also.  If mahoro was here she would castrate you with a lazer C-Chan.


And Silk Chan is definitly the best by far!  MOE!!

Well I finished Blue Submarine No. 6. For the first couple of eps, it seemed kinda average; had a more unique OST than most and made interesting use of CGI but nothing else particularly struck me as stand-out, especially when the main character, Stoic Gar, is about as cliché as characters come. However, the "series" (its only 4 eps long) picks up considerably at the close and propelled it up in my estimations :p So I would recommend watching it overall ;D The very end, especially, is made of win

Post by: CaptBrenden on January 08, 2007, 01:00:55 PM
Exa, I would highly recomend it.  Its about 3 girls that are acidently killed by a giant super hero.  He reserects them by sharing his body and power with them. In exchange they must now grow big when ever a monster attacks japan (every monday of course for the convenience of the TV crews) and battle the monsters.  Their power comes from MOE, so they become more powerfull the more emberassed they are about their quickly dissapearing battle suits!

If that isnt an award winning plot, I dont know what is.

I mean, just look, its got that lecherous pig all rilled up.



Nidas, that sound alot like how bleach was. It started out very bland and cliche but after one major plot event the whole series turned around making the show the best in the "get strong, beat a strong enemy, get beaten, become stronger" type of show

well it was a direct download site, one day the site just disappeared =/ Neko Downloads or something I think it was called.

If not, definitely recommended (and it's a bit mysterious and voodoo-like too).
It's about a red demoness who appears and torments an emotionally-deprived young boy, and the heroic tale of a Black-Winged Angel and a Dichromatic Goddess who try to stop her.  ^______^

Title: 'Shinpi no Sekai El Hazard'
Post by: MisterCat on January 20, 2007, 03:34:01 PM
For the past ten years I've been interested in Shinpi no Sekai El Hazard, but until yesterday I never had an opportunity to watch it.  This series was released in 1995 and was directed by Hiroki Hayashi.

Over the years I'd read dozens of articles, viewed squillions of images and had come to know the characters as well as the story.  But, of course, an anime series needs to be screened; and so I bought a digital versatile disk box set containing the four distinct El-Hazard series.

Yesterday, in one sitting, I screened the original animation video Shinpi no Sekai El Hazard ââ,¬â€ the seven-episode series titled El-Hazard:  The Magnificent World in the U.S.  In my view, it's excellent:  a good story, interesting characters, witty dialog, amusing subtext and catchy music.

The main lesson for me was that people who write anime-series reviews tend to form a consensus regarding a series; and over time that consensus sinks into the realm of repetitive clichés.  In other words, don't believe the bullshit ââ,¬â€ mine or anyone else's ââ,¬â€ but view the series with an open mind.

For example, I'd become convinced that the character Alielle did nothing but run around in a permanent state of heat pining for her absent lover Princess Fatora of Roshtaria; but it turns out that in addition to clamping onto whichever good-looking girl happens to be present, Alielle demonstrates a high degree of insight and knowledge ââ,¬â€ no matter the subject.  This little gal is a veritable encyclopedia, a fact which seems to have escaped the review-writing crowd's notice.

Another pleasant surprise was Shayla-Shayla, Priestess of Fire.  The reviewers correctly pointed out, over the past decade, that Shayla has a short fuse; but what they didn't bother mentioning was the fact she's hilariously witty.  She's also the best drinking buddy a person could ever hope for.

Later today I'm going to screen El-Hazard:  The Magnificent World 2, released in 1997 and directed by Yoshiaki Iwasaki.  But let me strongly suggest that you screen the original animation video Shinpi no Sekai El Hazard, as I found it to be totally captivating and entertaining!

Here's one link to more information:  El-Hazard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El-Hazard).

Here's another, in my view superior, link:  El-Hazard Online (http://www.el-hazardonline.net/El-Hazard/index.shtml)

El-Hazard: ah, one of the older ones I've heard so much about but never watched.....

Bleach: that's what I'm watching at the moment. Everyone says it has a slow start but, tbh, I was pretty into it after just a few episodes. I liked the bits where Rukia and Ichigo were both out an' about clearing up Hollows. But meh, just me.

As for dubbed anime, I'm watching most of the anime on Cartoon Network, Toonami and Miguzi

and for subbed anime, I'm watching Rozen Maiden Traumend (finished episode 6) and Nanoha A's (up to episode 4 or 5 out of 13 episodes)

And for you Naruto viewers out there, be warned: there will be a massive filler arc later on. But I'm sure I'll be able to endure it when it comes. Hey, I endured the massive filler arc of Pokemon, and endured some of the arcs of Yugioh and Dragonball Z that really started to drag on!

Bleach hooked me fast too- almost instantly!

Yup! For 5 episodes I was wondering if Suigintou survived and I was glad to see this one and that she did! I thought the snowy music scene was very pretty. Megu is cool too! It's sad that she has no will to live though and I can't help but wonder how did she know what to do when she first encountered Gin.  Has she been researching about the Rozen Maidens in the meantime prior to that?

my position on dubs is this:

the old ones are generally terrible, but now they seem to be responding to the fans, such as keeping the Japanese cultural references. Furthermore, they don't have a large pool of talented voice actors to draw from, so I understand a bit.  Also, many of these voice actors do have connections to the anime fanbase, so many learn from this.  

And lastly, some character's voices are supposed to be annoying, so that is replicated in the US dub.

The sub vs. dub debate grinds my gears because not all dubs are done equally. Not all of them are bad. However the subs do have the advantage of always being uncut.

I think that Bleach and Naruto are dubbed very well.

But Tokyo Mew Mew, Sailor Moon (especially the DiC dubs), Yugioh (especially GX ;__; ), Pokemon Chronicles (especially the "Raikou Legend of Thunder" episodes) are some of the worst dubs I've seen!

And what really grinds my gears is that when Pokemon got switched over to Pokemon USA to be dubbed, they promised sound-alikes of the main characters but the new Ash, May, Brock, James and Meowth sound nothing like they used to! May's new voice is good but I'm just still so used to her old one. Her new voice sounds a lot like Misty's though.

I only watch shows for anime that aren't dubbed yet.

Since I've downloaded so many subs in the last few months, I think I'll start to buy some of the DVD's when they're out. I know the dubs aren't going to be as good as I want, but I feel indebted to the animators. As for the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, I'll be the first one on Amazon preordering it!

And I'm surprised that Haruhi is liscenced because of the trademark infringements of Haruhi being dressed like a Playboy bunny reguarly

Title: Subtitles
Post by: MisterCat on January 22, 2007, 08:20:05 PM
I'd much rather watch any foreign-language video with that language on audio whilst English subtitles appear on the screen.  However, subtitles apparently remain an afterthought to most video producers:  They can't seem to agree on a proper standard.

The best subtitles, in my opinion, have bright-yellow letters with black borders.  Presently, I'm watching an anime series in which the subtitles are medium green and hence illegible from across the viewing room when superimposed over a dark background.

So, I'm watching it with English audio.  Lack of adhering to a most-legible standard is not just an anime problem, as even newly-released foreign-language feature films have fallen back into the pit of using white letters for subtitles.

Consequently, as soon as a bright background shows up the subtitles fade into obscurity.  Perhaps we're all supposed to purchase special viewing glasses, or else make up our own dialog.

yeah, that's a problem.

I think there are only two standard colors, that being white and what a few have termed "puke yellow"

sometimes I think fansubs spoil me with all their fancy colors and fonts of different types and sizes.

while on that topic, ADV has introduced a concept called AD Vidnotes... which provides useful translation/cultural notes on screen.  Especially useful for Pani Poni Dash! And if anyone's seen the fansubs for that, it's rich in extra notes.
Title: Aha!
Post by: MisterCat on January 23, 2007, 12:35:56 AM
Yeah, SleepyD, it would be both educational and interesting to have cultural notes available for viewing!  That brings me to another gripe, this one pertaining to so-called "extra features."

To me, an "extra feature" isn't a so-called "art gallery" of concept sketches the size of postal cards; nor is it an opening or closing title sequence bereft of credits.  An "extra feature" should be something actually worthwhile, like an interview with the director; or a documentary on the history of animation in Japan.

A dozen different versions of the closing credits, for example, do absolutely nothing for me.  Who cares?  It's just a bunch of filler enabling the distributors to say there are "extra features," when in fact all they're doing is sweeping up what's been tossed onto the floor during production.

well i think subs are better, when i hear the voices in dubs it just doesn't seem to give off the same feeling.
there are also jokes in anime that doesn't work when its dubbed.

anyway it does seem that dubbing are becoming better and better, i just hope that they keep it up. old dubs are so horrible that remembering it sends chills down my spine.  :/

well thats just me.

There are some good dubs out there, I liked the Love Hina, Fruits Basket, Akira and NGE dubs (Asuka swearing in German is win XD) just off the top of my head. Normally though I prefer subs, but I think thats mostly cos anime is a much bigger industry in Japan than in the West so its kinda obvious they're not going to be able to hire as good actors for the English dubs =/ I don't really roll with the whole "subs are better cos they're the original cast/in Japanese/whatever" argument. You only need to look at anime like Fruits Basket and Fullmoon wo Sagashite to realise that sub is no guarantee of quality

Post by: Silentbob on January 23, 2007, 07:20:09 AM
I've pretty much always been a sub man myself, it doesn't only apply to anime, but mostly everything else as well.   In Norway everything on TV is in its original language (with norwegian subs of course), except for some childrens morning shows, and I remember they tried to put on a dubbed show (can't remember the name, but it was a sitcom), and the public was suddenly in an uproar demanding they put the english voice cast back.   ;027

My first exposure to the Joy Of Dubbing took place on Okinawa in the Ryukyu Islands, ages ago.  I happened into a shop which had a television receiver tuned to a Japanese channel; and it was showing an episode of Bonanza.

I found it hilarious to hear Hoss Cartwright speaking Japanese!  To the voice actor's great credit, tone-wise Hoss-san sounded exactly like Dan Blocker.

as an AMV maker from time to time, i love having textless opening and closings.  Some of the best footage in a show is often the intro.  As for subbing, yeah some fan sub groups pick bad colors, but the subs are usualy far better then waht youll get on a DVD.  They have translation notes, they time them with the speaking better, diffent colors when mulitiple people are tlaking at once.. and if you like kareoke the openings and such are normaly set up to help you with that.

As for the subs vs. dubs battle, I like to have the subs on DVD after I have bought the dubs. That way, I have fulfilled my obligation to buy the official DVD and I have the translation notes as well.

QuoteI found it hilarious to hear Hoss Cartwright speaking Japanese! To the voice actor's great credit, tone-wise Hoss-san sounded exactly like Dan Blocker.

That reminds me of a book I read about Pan Am. Most pilots stuck to their old time zone, and were forced to watch Bonanza reruns in Japanese. Ya know, I don't care much for the new Pan Am. It's poorly managed and had no routes...

I think it's just a typical episode in length. Dunno if there are any additional episodes though. Sky Girls looks better though (too bad it's only 29 minutes long).

And technomagic? If you want to see good technomagic, see Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and the sequel Nanoha A's. You got English speaking stave-machinecannons and awesome German-speaking swords and hammers, how much better can you get? XD

You know Raging/Raising Heart's voice really reminds me of the voice in Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere....

Yes, I think too that Sky Girls is better, but it really needs a continuation. And I saw the first Nanoha series, and I liked it ;) . When I have more time, I'll start the second series - I heard that's even better than the first.

Most definitely affirm both points. Sky Girls does need a continuation, there's lots of potential in there, despite being a bit cliche. And lots of people would tell you Nanoha A's is awesome (the first battles alone will hook you in  ;010 ).

Quote from: "Aurora Borealis"The sub vs. dub debate grinds my gears because not all dubs are done equally. Not all of them are bad. However the subs do have the advantage of always being uncut.

I think that Bleach and Naruto are dubbed very well.

But Tokyo Mew Mew, Sailor Moon (especially the DiC dubs), Yugioh (especially GX ;__; ), Pokemon Chronicles (especially the "Raikou Legend of Thunder" episodes) are some of the worst dubs I've seen!

And what really grinds my gears is that when Pokemon got switched over to Pokemon USA to be dubbed, they promised sound-alikes of the main characters but the new Ash, May, Brock, James and Meowth sound nothing like they used to! May's new voice is good but I'm just still so used to her old one. Her new voice sounds a lot like Misty's though.

I only watch shows for anime that aren't dubbed yet.

Etcetera...

This whole dubbing sub-thread becomes interesting. It deserves a thread of its own.

I will create one. Stay tuned.

I'm watching it chronologically so "Remote Island Syndrome: Part 1" I think. The out-of-order ep sequence was what put me off it in the first place. I'm glad I revisited it chronologically, I do think the anime is much better for it. I understand the effect they were trying to achieve, but personally I think it feels too forced and doesn't really work particularly well.

If i have a "Death Note" I couldn't use that because i don't want that someone die...

I'm asking myself : What would happen if i draw a figure into the Death Note? o_O
Or what happen if someone write nicknames into it?

Ooooh Death Note, the manga series so popular it's spawned two live-action movies and a possible US remake O_O

Followed the manga about a couple of years ago, still the most exciting mind-game manga that it's it is. XD

I can imagine that writing a figure or a nickname wouldn't do anything, just a waste of notebook pages (although the notebook doesn't really run out of pages, so it's the ultimate artbook! :D)

Although I prefer to have a Geass over a Death Note anyday  ;010

And I'm watching...the English dub for Onegai Teacher and Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu? Let's just say that Best Buy does not have the best collection, but they were two good series. The dubs weren't bad either. In fact, some of the best I've seen in a while.

Currently watching Strawberry Panic. At the moment I'm on ep 7 and so far its win. Assuming it maintains its current level of quality it will probably be in my top 10 when I finish it :D

I was watching Tsukuyomi till recently, but I've more of less given up on that now. I usually hate vampire anime, but I thought Tsukuyomi might be different. Turned out I was wrong =/ Cute character design though but theres no substance to the series

It's weird...Knightmares are high-tech weapons...so how is it possible that Lelouch is able to pilot one without training?

I finished .hack//roots. It was crap. I do not recommend spending any money on it. I also do not reommend wasting time watching it. The conclusion is inconclusive and vauge. Characters randomly change personalities for no apparent reason. Entire episodes have no relevance to the plot. Wait, no, it doesn't really have a plot. It's like watching a non-stop recording of a single intersection on an average day. Maybe something interesting happens but overall it's dull and pointless.

Black Lagoon Mini-Review
This series is divided into two sections. Black Lagoon is the opposite of .hack//roots(see above). Characters are well developed despite a complete lack of significant background scenes. All development is created from normal dialogue and about five seconds of flashback. I would have liked to know more about all of them but it does not detract from the anime.

Animation quality is good. In 24 episodes I only noticed two cases of recycled animations. The storyline is relatively original. The girls are quite... appealing... while still maintining believable proportions. Black Lagoon also contains the only flamboyant use of "dual pistols" that did not send me into a frothing rage. Firearms fans must watch this.

There is some fanservice. Much of it is negated by the surrounding events and registers only as a, "wait, what?" kind of thing.

I have not read the manga and do not know if it is even translated to english. From passing references it seems that the animated series is follows the original manga better than most. From what I read the changes were for the better, like a revision of the manga instead of a departure.

The conclusion is better than most anime. There is actually closure! It's an anime where everyone lives AND most questions are answered. Wow! F-U Evangelion. Still, there is room for a sequel.

Conclusion: Black Lagoon is mostly violent action with some fitting funny scenes thrown in. Compared to most recent anime, this is a must-see.

NOTE: The easily disturbed should not watch the first story arc of season 2. It deals with a topic that is unfortunately based on real events. The really easily disturbed should not watch any of this.

Also, my opinions on your choice o' dl-s:
Shana is supreme goodnessu, so even if you find it having a slow start (which i did), go on watching. Then you shall see its pure pwninessu for sure, ssu! ^-^

Chrno crusade is quite good, at least in the beginning - but just like i felt with trigun, i think its concluding arc is rather slow and sloppy. But otherwise, a great show (Chrno's evil eyessu in ep4 are serious MAGIC! =3)

Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Laevatein on March 14, 2007, 06:45:30 AM
Considering their opportunities to show fanservice, the actual series has a minimal amount of fanservice. It's mostly mecha battles and politics, and a little bit of badass soap on the side. Sure there are the occasional nakedness and such, but Code Geass isn't really a nude-fest (unless you believe the fanart ^^;;;; ).

Now the Code Geass Picture Book DVD specials on the other hand (especially 2.5, which is essentially one big bath scene fanservice XD)

OMG, that was an AWESOME pair of episodes. Really. I didn't expected what happened in ep 22...lol @ unexpected plot device/deus ex machina. Lelouch has a horrible sense of humor.
Ep 23 was EPIC. Zero laughing is just plain sick...and awesome. Had to rewatch this scene several times.

But from all the awesomeness that happened in this episode, the one that caught my attention enough to watch the same scene +20 times was...MOE KAGUYA

Most recently watched a couple of eps of Magipoka, gawd were the subs hard to find, had to use isoHunt in the end. Worth it though, many lulz :p

Currently torrenting the first ep of StrikerS, braced for overrated disappointment though

Current airing series that I'm watching are:
Hayate no Gotoko
Nodame Cantabile -- so good that I went and watched the drama in a day
Nagasarete Airantou
Lucky Star
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge

I prefer comedies, as you can see.

well watched the first two episodes of StrikerS. Words cannot quite sum up how I feel about this anime... oh wait, yes they can; overrated shit. Its pretty clear that my fav character in Nanoha, Vita, is going to be completely sidelined. I have to say I think As was a fluke. The original series was mediocre but at least As redeemed it. StrikerS is just... well, fail. There I said it. The new characters, Cliche Tsundere and Whiney Tomboy have so far added nothing to the series. Would not recommend.

On a brighter note, Hidamari Sketch continues to be epic and Magipoka and Manabi Straight are still going strong :D

Two episodes and you already consider this as a "fail"? Oh well. Maybe the series started a bit slow (especially comparing As), but don't forget, StrikerS going to be 26 episodes long. Some of the characters from the previous series may have sidelined , but the new characters are not that bad, in my opinion - maybe have some cliche-ish parts in their personality, but that's not makes them completely failed characters (We can find cliche-ish parts in almost every series' characters) So I can recommend than try at least 3-4 more episodes. If you still don't like it, then all right, drop it.

I agree it's slow at the moment... but it's only three episodes in, and three episodes does not make a 26 episode series. It's typically best to watch at least 6 episodes before deciding whether to watch or not.

And I like many of the new characters, dunno whether it's all the Super Robot references they have, or because their character archetypes are new to the Nanohaverse.

Seems like the actions starting to simmer with episode 3 though, and this I gotta see in 4 next week:

Quote from: "Exa"Two episodes and you already consider this as a "fail"? Oh well.

haha for most series I make snap judgments based on the first ep, the only reason StrikerS lasted longer was because I wanted to see how much Vita was going to be in it :p Turns out barely at all. And my other fav character, Arf, hasn't been in it all yet! Maybe I'll watch another ep just to see her actually xD

Quote from: "Exa"Maybe the series started a bit slow (especially comparing As), but don't forget, StrikerS going to be 26 episodes long.

see, the 26 ep thing endears me to it even less. A series has to be VERY good for me to watch it past 30 eps, and frankly Nanoha doesn't make the cut. Oh sure, from a technical standpoint its very well made, but really the series offers nothing that hasn't been done before (the magical girl genre is looking extremely tired now sadly) and no likable main characters imo since Fate stopped being an anti-hero. Nanoha especially is such a blatant ripoff of Sakura from CCS shes not even worthy of being called a parody. In the original series and As, Nanoha was little more than Sakura with all the life and charm drained out of her and now shes just seems completely lifeless and two-dimensional. gah, I'm ranting now, I'll leave it there. If I'm not making any sense, its because I'm tired and caffeinated, never a good combo :p

I see, and I find that interesting. When I started to watch the first Nanoha series, I wasn't amused at first. After Fate's appearance, I became excited, because the ordinary "monster-of-the-day" plot was changed to a much more interesting rivalry between the two characters. Also, the background stories were quite unique in that genre.
About the missing characters: Yes, that's true that some characters' role have been lowered a bit, and some of them aren't appeared at all yet, but I think they have some important roles later in the storyline.

Nanoha is a Sakura ripoff? Hm... In fact, I judged CCS after one episode (I know, it's not good  ;140 ), and I threw it away. (Somehow card collecting in a cute magical girl outfit wasn't enough for me.). In fact, I found the Nanoha series quite different from other magical girl series (no power of love and fewer other cliche-ish moments). In StrikerS, Nanoha's role changed much, but I don't think, this made her two-dimensional. Maybe she doesn't have the same charm and cuteness that she had earlier, more like, she has an other type of charm - it's hard to say in words. And you're making sense, you're a model of smart and calm criticist.

well if you follow the CCS comparison through, Fate is actually little more than a more restrained female version of Shoaran =/

Quote from: "Exa"Also, the background stories were quite unique in that genre.

This is true and was one of the things that kept me watching the first season.

XD

Quote from: "Exa"(Somehow card collecting in a cute magical girl outfit wasn't enough for me.).

Although I'm probably going off topic a bit here, CCS for me was a great series, not so much because of the plot, but because of the sub plots and character development. The characters felt... well so much more real I guess than Nanoha's characters. I don't think I ever thought of any of them as stereotypical or foil characters (even if some of them probably are in hindsight). And at 70 eps and two films, its by far the longest series I've ever seen and I still love it :p Anyway, going off the point here, back on topic.

Quote from: "Exa"In fact, I found the Nanoha series quite different from other magical girl series (no power of love and fewer other cliche-ish moments).

hmm I guess the problem is that magical girl as a genre tends to have little variety. The main character tends to be bland enough for the target audience (lets not kid ourselves, its preteen girls in most cases) to project themselves onto the character. Some cute animal spirit/guardian usually comes along for the ride. Theres usually a rival of some kind. The main character usually has one or two "best friends" that get more screen time and character development than other characters. Theres usually an older love interest (I guess this is where Nanoha departs form the norm more than anything else, Nanoha seems to all intents and purposes pretty much asexual so far). Etc. Personally I think that Nanoha fits the magical girl mold very well, although it usually gets darker towards the end of each respective season. It just seems to lack the charm that most magical girl animes have. Maybe that is what I dislike about it thinking about it. It tries too hard to break the mold and be a seinen anime and ends up losing the charm of traditional magical girls and not quite achieving the seinen transition it sought. It ends up being stuck between the two genres and as a result, has the advantages of neither. Imo of course :p

If I'm sounding overly negative, I don't mean to. The tweaks they made to the genre in the original series kept the series interesting and watchable; especially considering how slow the series was to start, this alone is impressive. And the introduction of the Wolkenritter in As brought some much needed variety to the cast (even if Hayete is just as boring as Nanoha). And as I said earlier, from a technical standpoint, the anime is impressive. So if anyone hasn't watched any Nanoha yet, I'd say watch the first two seasons then drop it.

tl;dr, long post is loooooooooooong, etc

Excellent post! You really understand the weakness of the magical girl (MG for later) genre. After a while, they couldn't make more variations around the similar storyline, that's why most MG's are quite similar to each other. As I told earlier, I don't know much about CCS, so I have no idea about sub plots and character developments there. Maybe I'll try it again... On the other hand, you are right that Nanoha is a bit of hybrid between a MG and a seinen anime. Maybe I like the series because of that, because it provides me cute characters, somehow well-developed storyline, and amazingly done fighting scenes - a little bit of everything, but that's enough for me.
I respect your opinion and accept your reasons. You're not sounding negative, you just said what you feel about the series.

I haven't seen all of it, yet but I hear it gets a lot better later in the series.  


Regarding this topic:
I have watched the first episodes of:
Romeo x Juliet
Darker than Black
El Cazador de la Bruja

So far, I think I'm going to like this Spring anime season.

I also plan on watching:

Continuing/starting the series above will take place after finals.  They haven't gotten into much story yet, so the temptation is easily overcome. XD;

Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl), to be honest is somewhat repetitive, since it features how various people deal with issues of revenge, and thus is more like an anthology, but with Ai Enma and the Hotline to Hell being the recurring characters... at least, up until episode 8, but you'll have to watch to find out.

Overall, it's hit or miss, with some episodes being rather trite and boring... but the episodes that are good, will make you THINK for some time after (episode 23 *shivers*).

While waiting for the next StrikerS episode, started picking up on other titles this spring, starting with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, and maybe Romeo X Juliet later.

but you have to remember they had far more episodes to do this in.  i could say the same thing about DBZ.  same story different place, make characters have more personality...didn't make the series any better.  i will admit i like CCS but i felt the characters lacked any sense of realism because of how long the series went...oh well just my personal opinion...

anyway lets see...um right now im watching Claymore,  Naruto Shippuuden (THANK GOD THE FILLERS ARE OVER!), Bleach (same story as naruto there), went back and started to watch all my macross, Black Cat, Burst Angel, and NGE.... man i got WAY too much free time....

Post by: NewYinzer on April 23, 2007, 08:30:59 PM
In recent news, a serious rift has formed in the GIN-DESU Alliance. Those in favor of GIN have aligned themselves with the Church of Haruhi, now referred to as GIN-SOS. Those in favor of DESU have aligned themselves with Britannia, now referred to as DESU-BRIT. Those supporting Shinku have formed their own alliance for their own protection with those who value old romantic comedies such as Love Hina and Onegai Teacher/Twins which will remain neutral through the Second Anime War.

To recap, the new alliances are:
1. GIN-SOS (Rozen Maiden/The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya fans)
2. DESU-BRIT (Rozen Maiden/Code Geass fans)
3. FUMO (Rozen Maiden/Love Hina/Onegai Teacher/Onegai Twins/Full Metal Panic Fans - AKA NewYinzer)

In other news, NewYinzer will be watching Code Geass after his midterms, projects, and science competitions are over. On a more striking note, Denmark has given up Greenland in exchange for $500,000,000 in DELICIOUS CAKE! Tensions run high between the Philippines and Iceland as to how to obtain said cake...

Anyway, does the faction have a logo/symbol? We should have one combinating the two main forces of the alliance!

I agree to that, although I have no idea what Lucky Star is. *Goes to find a torrent*

Edit: I only found the first two episodes.. is this series still being made?

Impressive, but this is not only about the power of armies! If you can't persuade people to join to your side, the whole things is worthless! Anyway, the HARU-NATAlliance don't want to war with your faction, I believe in a more peaceful solution...

Okay, back on topic. Currently I'm watching Shakugan no Shana. I just finished ep 8, and I find it great! Not only because of the interesting base situation, but the characters, the storyline, and many other things which are too long to say... Also, the OP and ED is good, too. Highly recommended, if you ask me! ;)
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on April 26, 2007, 03:07:35 AM
Total agreement! Also i've got some un-watched Kanon in my queue...
That series is total win, and while not as weird as Haruhi, they are very similar in a couple of ways:
Kyo-Ani! (Same animation and style)
More than meets the eye of the main character (You get the point.)
And lastly, but not least at all...
SUGITA TOMOKAZU! Kyon's VA is in the male lead again, and he again does a completely awesome job at sarcasm, sighs and all else in the spirit of Kyon-iness.

H-NA commands ye to watch!

MASSIVE WIN :D

Anyway, my current list of anime is pretty long, well by my standards anyway. Normally I'm only watching a couple of animes at the same time:

Claymore - 2
Code Geass - 23
Hidamari Sketch - 7
Lucky Star - 4
Manabi Straight - 10
Nagasarete Airantou - 4
Seirei no Moribito - 2

And at some point I need to finish Tsukuyomi too, but the story is so damn slow and Hazuki is really the only thing that makes the series worth watching =/

Lots of people seem to be watching Lucky Star at the moment. Its OK. Nothing fantastic really and theres only 2 decent characters in it, making for a weak central cast. Its cute and funny though so I'll probably finish it :D

I started watching Nodame Cantabile yesterday, and I have to say, it's pure awesomeness, that is if you really like classical music (me). It is also very educating for piano players, I showed it to a colleague of mine who teaches piano at the same school as I, and he told me (although I don't belive he actually admitted it since he is a very proud person) that he learned some tricks from it.

So all musicians and music lovers get your act together and watch Nodame Cantabile!

1. Darker than Black. This is a new one, there are only five episodes out, but 'till now I must say that I like it. It happens in the future for those who don't like those kind of animés.

2. Piano. This is a series that I have heard a lot about from my elder brother the last two weeks or so, I finally got around and copied it from his hard drive into mine, I also like that one,it has a good feeling in it. But like Nodame Cantabile it's about music (although there is also some romance) mainly classical. But I have only seen the first episode so I can't really say.

I recommend Piano for Tsubashi by the way =P

Aria - 3
Claymore - 7
Code Geass - 24
FLCL - 2
.hack//Roots - 2
Hidamari Sketch - 7
Lucky Star - 6
Manabi Straight - 11
Nagasarete Airantou - 6
Seirei no Moribito - 6

Finished GTO recently. Despite a rather crappy ending, it has one of the best dubs around (though it does take a couple of eps for the cast to find their feet). In contrast, the Jap audio is fairly mediocre for a series that was so popular 0_o One of the longest series I've ever watched, weighing in at 43 eps. Would recommend :D

Poor Manabi Straight. Everything started so well! With a bit of trimming it could have been so much better, the last few eps have really hurt the series with little real headway in plot made =/ It could easily have been a great, say, 9-10 ep series, but no, they have to push the whole "friends forever!" angle with all the subtlety of a brick. Rapidly sliding into mediocrity, which is sad cos I really enjoyed the series for the first 2/3s or so.

Lucky Star continues to be overrated, but enjoyable, slice-of-life comedy. Nothing much else to add really. Just more of the same. It is showing a danger of repetitiveness imo, hopefully they do something to avoid that otherwise I can see it getting tiresome.

Claymore has recently turned from moderately interesting to potentially EPIC win :p The last couple of eps have really raised it in my estimation. Hoping for more of the same.

Watched the first ep of FLCL today. It really tries far too hard to be random. Dunno what the fuss is about really. Will probably drop but the first ep was just good enough to warrant watching the second ep. Hopefully it does SOMETHING to redeem itself in the second ep, otherwise it's gonna be dropped.

Also started watching Aria today. It could have been so much better. That goddam dog... thing in it really pisses me off. Its coming very close to ruining an otherwise very good anime. What is it with Japan and these "cute" animal sidekicks that turn up in (and eternally ruin) anime?

Hidamari Sketch continues to be epic, but the fansubbers are slowing down >: / FASTER MY MINIONS, NEED MOAR!

Nagasarete Airantou, though formulaic (hey it's harem, what did you expect?), has a charm that the harem genre really seems to lack recently. The only harem anime I've really enjoyed since Love Hina. The main character is getting a bit annoying though but I don't foresee that being a series-ruining problem.

Seirei no Moribito, now that's an interesting series. The cast of characters is VERY strong, something that has been lacking in... well most animes I've watched recently to be blunt. The plot is good, especially since it comes from the increasingly cluttered adventure genre. The fight scenes are well done. The art style is slightly off for my tastes, but that's more me being picky than anything else. Hopefully it can maintain its form.

END RAMBLE :p

Great, now I feel an urge to rewatch the evil laugh of Lelouch at the end of ep 23...

Currently Watching:

-Romeo x Juliet: 06
-Nanoha StrikerS: 05
-Heroic Age: 05
-Lucky Star: 05
-Hayate no Gotoku: 04

Romeo x Juliet, so far, is the best show of this season. Nanoha Strikers...not bad, but still lacks *something*. Heroic Age...not too bad.  Hayate...lol @ narrator & Santa Claus. Lucky Star not bad, but I hope it gets better.

Also, I see that while I was gone, a "Haru-Nata Alliance" was formed. Everyone loves Konata....there's no love for Kagami ;_;

I watched a few episodes of Ghost in the Shell (season 1) today...I saw it up to the time where Motoko was (supposedly) shot, but as my brother pointed out, she wasn't wearing her wristwatch...so I don't if it was her or not...

I dug in to my collection and picked at random some old animes I haven't watched for years.  Kaze Makase Tsukikage Ran was one, and RahXephon (which is still my favourite anime).

News in brief:
- Lelouch dies in episode 24 (which makes no sense)
- President Rozen Maiden will sign the Equal Rights Amendment into law three years from now (considering that current events take their course)
- NewYinzer is watching Lucky Star (this is true, and it is teh win)

Now for some serious Code Geass Related Predictions:
- Since Zero has killed someone Suzaku cared about (I ain't tellin), Suzaku will kill someone Zero cares about (Shirley, Kallen, or Nunnaly)
- Orange-kun will come to life and side with the Order of the Black Knights
- Diethard Ried will betray the Order of the Black Knights
- Nina dies (unlikely, but after episode 12, I think most people want her to)
- In the end, Zero has successfully established the United States of Japan in all of the Japanese Isles, but he is still at war with Britannia
- C.C. and V.V. duke it out to decide the fate of Japan
- Contrary to popular opinion, Suzaku will not die

IMO, episodes 5 & 6 are the best ones, the first ones were somewhat "weak" (but not entirely boring). So you're advised to keep watching it at least until episode 6 :D

Watching: episode 2 of "El cazador de la Bruja". Not that great until now. Will have to download some more episodes to decide if I should add it to my list.

Just been watching more .hack//Roots and Aria the last few days. Despite a slow start, hack has turned into a nice little anime. Far from perfect but still entertaining.

As for Aria, my doubts about that cat/dog/thing (its sposed to be a cat but it really looks more like a dog if anything) seem to be well founded which is sad cos otherwise it's a very nice anime. I'll probably finish the series since its only 13 eps and I'm already over half way through now. Could have been so much better, the basic premise is a very nice one (basically waterworld slice-of-life). Worth trying out, you'll probably love it if you can tolerate the damn cat. Did I mention I hate the cat? I really hate the cat.

One of my mates has recommended me Eureka 7 so that's next on the list. I'm not really a fan of the art style but he's told me to persevere with it :p

Quote from: "CaptBrenden"I like azumanga daio and peeps have said its like that.

Don't even compare them :p They're similar only in that they're both slice-of-life school comedies. But their artstyles are completely different, as are the characters' personalities, as is the way the comedy is executed, etc. Basically they have very different tones despite coming from ostensibly the same genre. That said, Lucky Star's most recent ep seemed more or less a direct port of one of Azumanga's eps; whether this is deliberate parodying or lack of imagination on the production staff's part or simply lack of diversity in an increasingly cluttered genre (school-life: the new harem?) is up to you, the viewer, to decide.

As for quality, Azumanga is epic, one of the few animes I've seen that had me genuinely lolling (Azuamaga, Dokuro-chan and Hidamari Sketch are probably the only ones if anyone cares) and with a very strong central cast, one of the strongest I've ever seen (excelled only by Rozen Maiden that I can think of). Lucky Star by comparison is merely above average, with a crappy central cast (2 good chars? lol wut) and running off the back of Haruhi-style humour that is popular at the moment. Course, I like both, and would actually recommend both too, but Lucky Star isn't even close to Azumanga's league imo. Also, Hidamari Sketch > all when it comes to school-life :D

Post by: CaptBrenden on May 19, 2007, 11:29:35 AM
Humm.. Im on ep 4 now, just finished ep 3.


....so whats the big deal?  Good enough to keep watching?  Yes.  Have I fallen on the floor and loled?  No.  I couldnt breath through azumanga daio, Ive only chuckled at Lucky Star so far.  Its a cute show, I like it. I do very much like the are style too, but the pandemic of rabid fans over it.. I just dont get.  Ill keep watching and maybe my opinion will change (as darknight said, its soppose to pick up)  

My opinion of why its not as funny:  Too random.  at least azu had an overall theam to most of the episodes.  

Like I said, funny and cute yes, made of pure win?  not so much.
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: SleepyD on May 19, 2007, 01:33:07 PM

I feel the same way you do. I'm not rolling on the floor laughing. But since darknight did say

I'll give it a chance.  I'm at ep 4 since I'm downloading from WinD fansubs. I decided I like the quality of their translation over others. a.f.k. came in second, but yeah... sleepy likes t3h translator's notes and stuff. ^^

I am watching that, and I am liking it better than Madlax at least. It's more well rounded than the other ones in Bee Train's girls-with-guns thing, and I always enjoy a convoluted plotline (that I can eventually understand to some degree). ^^  THere are more characters in Cazador than Noir or Madlax, so I think I'll be sticking to this series for a while

Started watching something called Juuni kokki. It's REALLY good, action humour everything you want in a anime. Gummster recommends.

But I must disagree about Elfen Lied, I can't see how it messes with your head I thought it to be very understandable. And it does end, you just have to know your things to understand it (plus it's a hint to people to read the manga).

Never found it all that interesting anyway.

Post by: Gummster on May 30, 2007, 02:18:48 PM
Well in the end we are indeed very different.

But I finally gave my self time to watch Blood the last vampire, after my 'onee-sama' had been nagging me about seeing it for such a long time (she's s a huge Blood+ fan for some strange reasons). But I must say that it truly is a great film. Much better then those crappy series.

I also finally downloaded Rozen Maiden Overture, I'll probably give myself sometime tonight to watch it.

I think Juuni Kokki has a lot of nice drama, that was actually my favourite part of the series.  

On another note, I'm gonna rewatch Rozen Maiden season 1 again, it's been too long already.  :3

I know what REALLY happened although I don't wanna spoil it for you, but if you rewatch the ending, and if you're smart, you'll probably find out, if not, just read the manga.
To be honest I really liked the ending, why you ask, because it was unpredictable, you don't really get a lot of those anymore.

I just got the english release of rozen maiden, at least disc one anyways


Verdict is still out but the dubbing isnt horrible.. not like it was with negima.. im not trying to claw my own ears out.  Most of the voices match.. but some dont.    To the desu desu freaks.. she speaks normal.   No special way of talking, no nothing.  In the US manga release she replaced the desu with yes "you are a chibi human yes!"  but they dropped that from the anime release. Oh, and on that note, I recognized several voices but cant pin them, but I pinned hers (well i dont know her name, i could look it up tho...)  Its the voice actress that played Mei in Love Hina.    and so far, Im more then happy with Suigintous voice (tho they pronounce her name kinda odd)  its almost a perfect match to her japanese counter part.  The way she laughs, talks, the tone and pitch of the voice.. Its a pretty good match.  Im quite happy about that.

and i got the collectors box (which i was quite irked there was nothing special in it, like a fig or wall scroll or whatever, however it comes in a very nice crushed velvet with gold etched pictures on it.  Its fitting and nice, tho im up in the air wether it was worth the differencce in money.

Azumanga Daioh is excellent, too. I cracked up a couple of times, (I wanted to slap Sakaki when she reached down to pet the cat...again :P), but YouTube apparently took down a bunch of the episodes :..(

I bring you grains of truth~
I think Sakaki is cute with her love of animals.

Two days ago I stayed up all night and finished Blue Gender, I finished Genshiken last night, and tonight I'm beginning Magic Knight Rayearth. I've also noticed I own a considerable amount of love (not hentai) oriented anime.


I have a question for you all though, what was the thing that got you into anime (Series, Movie. Etc.)? For me, when I was around 7 years old, my mom and dad bought Hiyao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro." I loved the movie and watched it quite literally 100 times.

I like megu too, and I definitly apricated the ironic nature of the broken girl broken doll relationship...

Did you ever see the manga where suigintou sama was watching the other dolls try to make a cake, and she goes and makes one and takes it to megu.. but when she gets there there is a cheet over megus face and she starts trembling and crying, and then megu pops up shouting something about "youve been tricked!" like those crule tv shows?

that was cute funny

Watching Pokemon Diamond/Pearl. I must say, it's really good. Just not the dub. >_< Canada is still running Pokemon Battle Frontier so I'm watching that too.

Also, I'm rewatching Sailor Moon R. I found some old episodes that I recorded on VHS when I was little. XD

The first anime i watched was pokemon that didn't got me hooked on anime though *since i didn't even knew pokemon was an anime back then* then when i was 7 my bro bought the entire DVD set of neon genesis evengelion *i got exposed to ecchi and violence at a tender age neee? :3* and then i was hooked on anime.

QuoteAhhh, Pokemon. Sometimes I'll watch cause it's kinda nostalgic for me (even though I'm fairly young...XD) I still have a huge collection of the cards!
I also still have my old pokemon cards *ahhh youth*.although i did threw away all the energy cards,while the rest are stored in a special card case made by my bro from cardboard cotton and other things ^_^.

I never really did get that much involved with pokemon although some of my friends are big fans.

I just saw the first three episodes of Haibane Renmei...It's excellent!

Oi...that first episode was kinda (excuse me, very) painful >__< And melancholic...but it ended on a good note and picked up from there!

Just the whole, nobody can leave the town premise, reminds me a little of that M. Night Shyamalan movie The Village XD
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Tsubashi on June 26, 2007, 02:20:59 AM
Ah, Haibane Renmei. I loved that series. Used to own it until they got lost in the move... T_T
*Sadness*

Still, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to hear what you think of the series once you've reached the end. It has a very good storyline, IMHO and lots of symbology! ^-^

As for me? Well, I usually only have time to watch a few episodes a week, but Friend-with-editing-software whom I mentioned in the Word Association Thread worked really hard and gave me edited versions of Mahoromatic (S1 and S2, what ever that means ^^')
So I started watching, and... well... it's a captivating storyline ^^'
Basically I ended up watching seven hours worth in two and one half days, and uncommon occurrence for me. ^-^'

Lots of fun, I liked it a lot (though the editing was noticeable, probably not safe for work ^^') Minawa-chan is sooooooooooo Kawaii!
Typical GAINAX story, focusing on the inevitable romance, with a ending that just feels rushed. Still, all in all, I liked it alot!

Oh indeed. Haibane Renmei is one of my favourite animes, I don't think I've ever been so moved and turned upside/down-inside/out by an anime before.  It's one of those series that stick with you for a long time.  ;171
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Bella on June 26, 2007, 05:54:24 PM
OMG  ;019

Usually I'm not one for marathons, but I had to see how Haibane Renmei turned out!
It ran the gamut of melancholy/uplifting/painful/funny/dark/happy.
There were some light moments where I had to laugh but it wasn't really funny, per se...(I guess it was more like bittersweet).

Excellent...Just bring a few tissues while watching it :..)

Today was kinda hot/rainy here so I mostly stayed indoors and watched some stuff on YouTube.

I saw a couple episodes of Lucky Star; It's funny in a very odd way...

And I watched some of the first ep of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya; to be honest, but I didn't get to watch the whole thing, so I don't really know what I think XD

Oh my Haruhi!

I've figured out the episode order to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and I watched to episode #14 (the sixth episode). *Now* it makes sense, heehee.

I really like this show now! When I watched episode #1 a few days back I really didn't have an idea what was going on.

Am I terrible for laughing at Mikuru during some of those...erm...scenes? XD

And one of my favorite characters is Yuki. I like how she's very quiet and unassuming when nothing is going on...and then when it starts to hit the fan, she can figure out the situation.

And did anyone notice that their club computer runs Windows XP!

New season has started, and I can see it's indeed awesome.

What I'll be watching:

-Higurashi no Naku koro ni KAI
-Zero no Tsukaima
-Code Geass 24,25 and Season 2
-Haruhi S2 (it's really confirmed?)
*School Days (rooting for a BAD END)

may watch:

-Gundam 00

Will continue watching:
-Lucky Star
-Romeo x Juliet (only 1 SUBBED episode left
-Heroic Age

May continue watching:
-Nanoha Strikers (until now, It sucks in comparison to A's. Mindless military characters are MINDLESS)

May watch once it's over:
-Gurren Lagann
-Hayate no Gotoku (stopped watching due to lazyness....LOL)



The greatest surprise this season is...School Days. Didn't planned to watch it, but  I just watched the bad ends, read about the main male character, watched the raw of episode 2 and all I can tell is...that bastard deserved his only bad end. I expect a good BAD END on the series too :D . Poor Kotonoha ;_;

currently watching haruhi, english dub.  Not as great as people have said, but ive loled a few times.. kinda regretting getting the limited edition versions of the first two discs.. i cant say i beliver the show is worth 50 bucks even if it is loaded with nick nacks. tho i havent listened to the cds yet, maybe they will be good.

also got the second english dub disc of Rozen Maiden and the first disc of When they Cry (spirited away by ogers, tho in the english dub the replace ogers with demons)  I think the dubbing for rozen maiden turned out well, im not in the least bit disapointed in gin-samas voice, i think they found an appropriate counterpart to her japanese voice.  I cant say the same for When they cry... at least renas voice seems kind of annoying -_-  shes still a cute character tho.

Just got done watching episode 6 of Futago Hime and episode 1 of Lucky Star.

I didn't think I would continue watching Futago Hime because only up to episode 5 is subbed but it's a series I like so much I was willing to watch more without subtitles!

And seeing all the hype that Lucky Star has, I decided to give it a chance and watch the first episode and it's pretty good so far! I especially like Akira and Konata! :D

I also did want to continue with watching Rozen Maiden (going on to episode 7 of Traumend) but I couldn't find what I was looking for :(

I can hear it with low-quality mp3... like 192kbps and below.

Actually, his claims could be correct. If you listen carefully a .wav file and then an MP3, you can hear the difference. I only detected it once, and it seemed like the .wav sound was...more clean. You could hear the difference between each instrument more clearly.

But I never care about that. I just stick to using MP3 on my PC and compress those to Atrac3plus for my MP3 player ( a Sony Gamma)

Perhaps it's just me, but what little of Lucky Star I've seen never actually interested me. Rozen Maiden, on the other hand, is an absolutely captivating series; utterly enthralling. Very, very few series can beat it, and Lucky Star is definitely not one of them.

This depends on how you want your anime, it is both different genres, is it not? And not that I like it better but I am likelier to watch Rozen Maiden instead of LS simply because it has a story, LS is more the sort of anime you watch every now and then.
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: CaptBrenden on July 17, 2007, 10:38:52 PM
very true, it is hard to compair different types of stories.. but ill say this. I feel that, over all, the stories like rozen maiden are better.  They stay with you, they mean something.  As an artist, thats what I want to create someday.  Something, where people who read it will think back on it long after.. something that makes them not onlylaugh, but to cry, or get angry, to feel a full set of human emotions.  Something like that will stay with them long after the show it done.  I feel rozen maiden, and the stories like it, do that, and that is why i belive they are better then the one shot comedys.

Added after 1 hours 14 minutes:

... speaking of epic stories.. just finished fate stay night...


Im going to be depressed for a while now -_- I dislike sad endings, but on the other hand, I so do love them.  That will stay with me for some time.

the ending was truly sad but i wont spoil it yet since most people are just started to watch it in my place. man i've done for years ago.

btw have anyone watched 'The Portrait of Cossette' / 'Le Portrait de Petit Cossette'?
its also a stories about living artwork, where the original painter for the portrait fell in love with his drawing and going mad to kill his own fiance (the model for the portrait)....

I don't think any LS discs are out so far, even in japan. All there is are the fansubs, for now.

And GJ Ice-san! Ya gotta tell me where to get those - I completely suck at finding poky fansubs.


And the RM/LS debate, whatever. I'm a bit busy right now so all i can say is that being completely unbiased is not within the sphere of possibilities for the human race anyway.

aha.... :3 I dislike/love em too. ^^ Thing about sad endings is that they can be so powerful.

Fate/stay night rocks. I played through the visual novel and it amazed me how text and still pictures gave me the same sad feeling at the end.  Heck, I think it was more powerful... that mushroom can write, and mirror-moon can translate. ^^

Now... I must wonder how the other 2 endings went.

Quotejust wait till the movies *nod* those will really fry the space between your ears.

Just finished the original 26 eps, the director's cut eps 21-24, and End of Evangelion. I wouldn't say they fried my brain - they actually expanded my ability to think about life, the universe, and everything. I think I got more out of watching the series than I did from a year of Shakespeare and Beowulf! Surprisingly, I got more insight from the original eps 25 and 26 than EoE, but EoE was better. BTW, I haven't seen Evangelion: Death and Rebirth yet. From what I can deduce, most of it is a combination of what was in the director's cut, original series, and EoE. Unless I can find it, I'm not gonna rush to see it, being that I've seen the series and legendary movie.

Quote from: "Wikipedia"On February 17, 2007 Anno released a statement [2] in a form of a movie poster that was shown in 50 cinemas in Japan, providing an explanation for his motivations in pursuing a new take on the franchise and stating a release date for the first film in Japanese theaters September 1, 2007.

It's something I've been waiting for since that statement was released.
I'm also waiting for the live action, although it's definitely going to suck.
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: CaptBrenden on July 30, 2007, 01:34:53 PM
last i heard the live action was on permenent hold due to the mobs of wapenese that cried bloody murder that a western company would be doing it.

Added after 30 seconds:

oh, and Im watching Lunar legend Tsukihime... yay arc!~
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NewYinzer on July 30, 2007, 07:15:37 PM
Mobs of wapanese? More like clumps. Personally, I hope it never sees the light of day. Not because of a western company doing it, but because NGE achieved its 'legend' status because of animation. If you could do it well in live action, I don't think anyone could really accomplish such a task financially. You could either do it cheap with ADV Films and have no one like it, or you could make a blockbuster for 300 million and risk the possibly of it not being a financial failure. Or you could save money by having Robin Williams play Gendoh. That might work.

Wow...that was a great episode! Both 24 and 25 have their share of twists and turns, but the ending leaves much to be desired. It ends with a cliffhanger which appears to have ended things for a few characters. If you've seen it, then you know that everyone has lost in some form. But I don't want to give away the ending...

And then there's Lucky Star... I love this show! When and if this show comes stateside, I'm picking it up immediately! It's just so funny!

Since we have a satellite dish, I've been able to watch some anime. Even if it is on Adult Swim : |

Bleach: I really like this show! Even if the storyline is kinda slow : /

And is Uryu not one of the cuuuuutest anime boys, EVER? *giggles like schoolgirl*

Fullmetal Alchemist: I wasn't sure if I liked or hated this show at first, but it's grown on me...

Ghost In The Shell: Probably the best show on Adult Swim. I wish they'd show more of this, and less of Inuyasha : \

Blood Plus: Again, I'm undecided if this show is good or really stupid...

Blood the movie is AWESOME! I recommend that one, the animation wasn't all that great.

I recently finished Scrapped Princess after hearing a lot 'bout it, I was impressed, but I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic anime so ya' know.

As for me, after finishing Evangelion, I've taken a break from new anime shows. I still have to buy a few shows that came out since I got the fansubs (FMP:TSR and FLCL). Also, I read in a PC World article that the government can now track peer to peer downloads, so I thought that it might be best to discontinue torrenting new anime releases.

Yes, you are saying it well...

This summer in Italy, Cinema distribution firms decided to had "Lupin III Cagliostro" deserve a second passage in Cinemas after 30 years...

Infacts in '70 only a few fans knows of Lupin III, so it was a complete failure in Cinemas here.

So 4 weeks ago I was capable to saw it in a good Multi-Theatre, in all its beauty full screen. ;010   ;010

Eureka 7 - 5
Fairy Musketeer Akazukin - 2
Hidamari Sketch - 11 (still waiting on Shintani's subs. Nidas haet crappy anon's mkv subs)
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai - 9 (nowhere near as good as the first season imo but still good in it's own right)
Kamichama Karin - 4
Lucky Star - 20
Manabi Straight - 12 (STILL haven't seen the last ep)
Nagasarete Airantou - 14 (in serious danger of being dropped)
Nanatsuiro Drops - 2
Seirei no Moribito - 20
Seto no Hanayome - 17

NOTE: the ep numbers are the eps I'm waiting on or about to watch, not the eps which I've just seen. Yeah I'm weird like that :p

What with Akazukin, Kamichama Karin and Nanatsuiro Drops it looks like I'm going through a bit of a magical girl phase again :3

NOTE: the ep numbers are the eps I'm waiting on or about to watch, not the eps which I've just seen. Yeah I'm weird like that :p

What with Akazukin, Kamichama Karin and Nanatsuiro Drops it looks like I'm going through a bit of a magical girl phase again :3

Claymore and Seto no Hanayome are probably my fav current series, though Lucky Star has certainly got far better since it's decidedly mediocre start

my goodness, you watch a lot.  It's only when I got a myanimelist account that I was able to keep track of so many, since I often download quite a few episodes ahead.
ey, what's Seto no Hanayome about?  
lol, Dokuro-chan 2? Whoo!! Random magical violence!! XD;  
Ah, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is pretty amusing as well. ^^

whoa, that's a lot of anime...If only my internet connection, time and HDD were decent...

Quote from: "Exa"
Moetan (4 episodes watched): Not a world-changing one , but good for fun ^^
Educational anime, right? :D

...
uni blocks P2P (living in campus) and the Internet its dial-up slow during the day. But I managed to find alternate sources for animu, so I can still watch a decent ammount :D

Currently watching:
- Heroic Age (22)
- Gurren Lagann (23)
- School Days (10)
- Sky Girls (7)
- Lucky Star (17?)
- Higurashi S2 (9)
- Zero No Tsukaima S2 (9)

Higurashi no naku koro ni Kai..I agree with Nidas, not as good as first season but still good in its own way. Also, Naraku no Hana kicks ass.
Heroic Age, entertaining and EPIC battles (though, in the last episodes they have been reusing more animation).
Sky girls...kinda good, but could be better. Lucky star, good but haven't been able to watch the latest eps. Zero no Tsukaima is amusing, nothing too epic.

So far, Gurren Lagann is great, although I don't like the FABULOUS uniforms at the end of ep 23...
And School Days has become my favorite anime this season. It doesn't follow the classic harem animu formula, and makes you feel empathy/hate for the characters.

KOTONOHA T___T


P.S: Dropped Nanoha Strikers long time ago, but I plan to start watching it again. Romeo X Juliet Dropped until I can get it from a friend

Post by: NewYinzer on September 07, 2007, 10:08:23 PM
Sorry for the delay. I had to go back to school, so I haven't been around. I just watched the last episode of Code Geass, and I now realize what will happen in the next few episodes in S2:

- Lelouch fires the shot at Suzaku. However, Suzaku does not die, owing to Lelouch's use of the Geass (IE: "Live"). That also prevents Suzaku from firing the shot, knowing that firing will kill them both. Laying on the ground, somewhat dazed but not dead, Kallen sides with him.

- Lelouch leaves to find Nunnaly, V.V. tells him about how stupid his idea of living is, and Lelouch realizes that he in many ways was wrong. A magic fight ensues between C.C. (who is a witch, and cannot die), in which C.C. lives and V.V. dies. Nunnaly agrees with what V.V. said, bringing Lelouch into a sort of Shinji-esque state. Realizing the error of his ways, Lelouch is determined to fix the mess he's created. C.C., Lelouch, and Nunnaly attempt to escape back to Ashford.

- Meanwhile, Kallen and Suzaku have returned to the revolution to find it defeated, and are taken by Britannian forces. However, the Britannian Empire cannot survive for long having killed 100,000 people in a mass genocide, defeat the revolution to avenge it, and hope to save face. QED, they create the Republic of Nippon, a puppet state ruled by Suzaku and Kallen meant to fight Zero and appease the Japanese people. Trust me, Japan will not exit the story this easily.

- Lelouch, betrayed by his friends, his revolution, and everyone he ever knew, runs away with C.C. and Nunnaly from Ashford to another place (see footnote 1). Using the lessons he learned, he comes to grip with his emotions, realizing that by using his strategic skills with a less destructive motivation, he can begin again. Therefore, he has become more like Suzaku, less negative, but still an evil genius.

- Our friend Suzaku, with incredible hatred in his heart over the death of Nunnaly and for Lelouch betraying him, declares that he will destroy Lelouch once and for all. Kallen, who remains his second in command and lover (can you say, tsundere couple? See footnote 2), is loyal to him because she wants revenge on Lelouch for giving up on the revolution. He becomes more like Lelouch, filled with a great hatred in his heart, and is willing to destroy whatever necessary to see the task completed.

- Meanwhile, the story takes another break, with Lelouch mustering his forces elsewhere to fight Britannia. This time, he takes over large regions in a small coup d'etat, bringing people under his control by merit of his rhetoric and strategic skills rather than a huge bloody revolution. We see developments on the Britannian side, with Schneizel and Suzaku becoming peers and allies in this new global hunt for Zero.

- Finally, Suzaku finds Lelouch, and the war starts. We get some great mecha action, with Lelouch facing off against Schneizel (the only person who beat him in chess), Kallen, and Suzaku. After this point, the director will take whatever course suits him. I guess a few new characters are introduced, probably in the form of Lelouch's lackeys, since about every other character is either on the side of the Republic of Nippon or Britannia.

Footnote 1: I speculate that Lelouch has three options for countries to rule that afford him enough resources:
- America (with the largest GDP in the world, I think that it can foot his bills)
- Russia (no country has ever successfully invaded Russia. With vast mineral wealth, no one could stand a chance)
- Chinese Federation (already at war with Britannia, 1.3 Billion people could easily defeat whatever the empire throws at them)

Footnote 2: I found this to be interesting. When I looked at my favorite series, tsundere couples seemed to spring up in every series (Evangelion, Love Hina, Full Metal Panic, Haruhi Suzumiya) except for Code Geass. Then I realized - Kallen hated Suzaku with a passion and tried to kill him, right? Now that she thinks Lelouch betrayed her, she'll side with Suzaku, and they do seem to make a nice couple. I usually stray from these sort of assumptions, but it makes sense.

Let's keep this post to see how wrong I am, right?

I don't think America is LITERALLY Britannia. I've always assumed Code Geass is based on an alternate timeline where Britain puts down the revolution in America. Eventually the British Empire evolves into a pseudo-federalist superstate run by absolute monarchy where each country is run by a prince or princess and their advisers. America, and presumably all of Britain's other former colonies*, are ultimately subsumed into "greater" Britain, which eventually becomes Britannia. That's my take anyway.

As for the Chinese Fed, although Lelouch could go there I find it unlikely that he will. Sino-Japanese relationships have never been particularly good and I can't see China, however abstractly, being painted as the "good guys" in an anime.

On Russia, I've always just assumed that either it is part of an enlarged EU or Britannia has conquered it. Remember that the story implies that "old" forms of electricity, such as fossil fuels, have been made redundant by whatever it is Japan has in abundance, I forget the name. Saku... something? I dunno. Thus Russia's economic edge is lost and Britannia is shown to have a vastly superior military to the rest of the world. Anyway, this new energy source is why Japan became comparatively powerful, why it ultimately led Britannia to war against them and why Russia is now no longer a major player on the world stage. Either way, Russia has little part or no part to play in the greater scheme of things anymore.

*note: I'm assuming white countries only, since the "coloured" countries, such as Japan and the Middle Eastern country (possibly the WHOLE Middle East) we see in one of the eps, are simply called Areas.

---

In entirely unrelated news, I've started watching Sky Girls today. I've seen the OVA before and I'm glad to say that the full anime series is showing epic potential :D

On the Lucky Star front:
How does Konata have the time to keep dying her hair between scenes (http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/1403/vlcsnap961918od9.jpg)? But OH GOD KAGAMI IS HOT (http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4898/vlcsnap959190ni2.jpg).

And finally, Seirei no Moribito continues to be one of the more interesting and story-driven shounen action animes I've seen. Would definitely recommend, but probably not top 10 material

Post by: NewYinzer on September 13, 2007, 08:43:59 PM
Again, after rewatching Geass, I realized a few more possibilities:
- India: I remember that that Indian scientist (what's her name?) had mentioned the Indian Army. That means that there could be a separate Indian nation (which makes no sense, because India was a major British colony). India's huge, with a lot of people and resources, as well as an economy geared toward high technology. Zero could possibly use it to defeat Britannia.

OR

- America: This is the more likely possibility. Britannia is governed by nobles, right? So it wouldn't be too hard for him to kill one and take over. This sort of coup happened all the time in the Middle Ages, so it makes sense. Then he could make it into a separate country and use it to fight Britannia.

This has to be the most fu©ked up ending ever. But it was great. The only thing I regret it's that they forced Kotonoha to free her darkest side =/ . But at least she got a "happy" end...in her own fu©ked up way to see things.

I thought it raised many thought-provoking questions...namely, is nudity still nudity, if it's a cyborg who is naked...?

J/K, I thought it was great! I think it's a little less far-fetched than the series....

Ghost in the shell is great indeed! Talking about that did you guys know that there's a new Ghost in the shell film out? I walked past it in HMV ad was quite surprised as I never heard anything about it.

Watched the first episode of Minami-ke, about a family of three sisters living together.  It's a slice-of-life thing.

I was actually sometimes picturing the three of them as OS-tans, maybe NT-tan, ME-tan and 3.1-sama.   Because they fit the descriptions a bit.  Kana (who'd be ME-tan, but somewhat less clumsy) even has a secret admirer, who could be Kyourou-kun.

Well, in the new season I already have 3 series I know I want to follow:

- Clannad: I think they mix the comical and serious/drama elements so well, and the story seems interesting. Also, the OP is awesome!
- ef - a tale of memories: I have no idea how it will go, but the mood caught me. And we have an amazing ED here ^^
- Shakugan no Shana 2nd season: I liked the first series, this seems to be good, too. :D

- Myself, yourself: Not very unique in that genre, but at some reason, I have the mood for this ^^

Ah, the magic of Miyazaki. Many good memories. As for me, I got Zeta Gundam and Gunbuster for Christmas, and I've been alternating between the two for the last week. On top of that, I can't seem to wean myself from watching Patlabor 1 and 2 over and over and over and over and over again. Must...stop...watching...mecha...anime!

I'm currently watching Mushi-shi.  I'm really enjoying it.  It's not something I'd normally suggest to anyone but myself, though.  

Maybe I'm wrong, though.  Maybe others will enjoy it, too.

I loved mushi-shi. It managed to maintain my interest despite the calm, relaxed tone. Every episode was unique and original.

Ja, I was afraid that the calm and relaxed part would turn a lot of people away.  I'm a sucker for all the different mushi, though.  I like anime that feature a plethora of spiritual "creatures".

YES. Mushishi and Claymore.  LOVE EM.  (I haven't watched much of mushishi and I love it. XD;; )

In the vein of Mushishi, maybe Kino no Tabi and Jigoku Shoujo may pique your interest.  Slow moving, but absolutely amazing, in my opinion.

I haven't even finished watching Jigoku Shoujo, but from what I've seen it's pretty good. ^^
Episodic, but it gets good later supposedly. If you love Kino no Tabi, I think you have a long enough attention span for it. :3




Oh.... Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino aired not too long ago... apparently there's a huge backlash amongst 2ch.  Lots of people are saying its crap. I'm not the type to judge on animation and the 1st episode alone though.  

Note: animation is quite different, with the larger eyes.  ...makes Giuse look way too young. I can get used to the new animation (done by the same people who did Mushishi, and not Madhouse like the first) And apparently there's a different cast too.... haven't heard it, but I'll need to get used to that too....  

Rawr, well, from the trailer shown in Comiket, at least they didn't ignore the attention to detail on the guns.... they don't seem to be as shiny or pretty, imo, but at least it's accurate....


bah. I'll withhold further opinion until I get some good fansubs for it.

I wonder how they are going to get around the ending they did, it kinda deviates from the original manga...
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: SleepyD on January 14, 2008, 08:24:50 PM
ok, after that 1 episode, i can say that one was more or less an "introductory" episode.  I know that a totally new staff and cast were employed for the second season.

Animation looks low quality when directly compared with Madhouse's animation for the first season.  However, over the time I've been watching anime, I've found I really don't judge anime based on animation but more on the plot.  Although, from what I've seen online, this was a major point that was criticized.  

My main gripes are actually with Henrietta and Giuse/Jose/Joze.  They kinda went the "moe" route with henrietta, and it frankly bothers me.  And Jose sounds like he's 20 years old or something.  Hilshire also seems to have gotten younger... Other than that, the other voices don't bother me.  A couple of those voices have probably changed, but they keep the same spirit as the first, so I didn't notice.  

hm.... the first episode overall gave the vibe that it's more of an action thing than a drama.  I still have some hope that when the real plot starts, we'll start getting into heavy stuff, but so far it doesn't look like it.

That's it... Triad is subbing it, and they have quality translations.
I'm sure you know where that is captain, but if you don't want to bother typing the site in, here's the torrent tracker site:
http://a.scarywater.net/triad/

I don't think it'll be as good as the first.  However, I don't think it's as bad as a bunch of people make it out to be.

Eh, Ive never watched it in sub, so ill let you know how I view it since i wont be effected by compairisons to the original japanese cast.  But concidering how small the american voice actor pool is, im pretty sure we are likely to get the same crew if they dub it.

I hope the american dub doesn't change it either, despite the drastic changes.  For a cast of mostly young girls, the dub was pretty impressive, particularly since most dubs of young girls tend to grate at my ears.

I think I figured out why it didn't have the same feel as the first.  It's not really the voices or the fact they cut corners with the animation... it's more the mood they set with the colors and the music.  The first season really set up the mood for a great, dramatic anime, with the cool colors and the strings in the music.  

You just don't get it in the second season.
So I don't end up disappoint myself, I'll lower my expectations and treat this as somewhat separate from the first season.


although, a part of me feels that Marvelous Entertainment doesn't have much of a budget.  The first season had a lot of high quality stuff from the music, to the cast, to the animators.  It's hard to live up to that with a staff of people that, frankly, aren't known for superior quality.  Yu Aida is directing, so I hope he ends up wow-ing me with his story somehow....

Gots two new shiny pieces added to my library:

First off, Shigofumi. Anime about a girl who delivers the last message from the newly dead, to the living.
I mean, it's a somewhat insane idea. But still it ends up being totally whack-off awesome - manly tears were shed by the end of the first episode, I swear. It's an awesome take on death, simply. Slightly oversubbed, but the ones I watched from [FTP-A] were quality-proof - get it at your local torrent provider ASAP. -w-

Secondly, Spice and Wolf. Wolf-girl Horo the Wise X merchant Lawrence.
Well, it's pretty slow and pretty smooth, but pretty damn fun as well. The parts where Horo goes ZOMFSOWNAGE on Lawrence without even moving a finger is pretty amusing stuff, too. Subbed by [BSS], with quality - get it at your local torrent provider as usual.

Then again, these are new for the season, and I guess many of you might already be watching them, ne? ^-^

mmm shigofumi~ Absolutely love that anime.

I'm watching from Menclave, a fansubbing group I'm familiar with and a group whose quality I trust.
The artist of Shigofumi is the artist for Kino no Tabi.  And talking inanimate objects are always fun. XD;

So far, Gunslinger Girl is okay.  They're doing the Pinocchio/Triela arc at the moment.  ...All the dudes in Section 2 got way younger voices, jeez.  They're still the same people, just.... younger.  I can see lots of people being turned off by things like this, since the original was just EPIC, but I think I'll stick with GSG-IT-  It's keeping me entertained.

It starts weak, but it seems to be improving with each episode. And this time, Gundams have a reason to be overpowered: magic-like energy generator developed in Jupiter.  Which provides unlimited operation times, more strength, speed and some degree of armor. But this time the "grunt" units actually have a chance against them, provided they have a plan and good pilots.

Just cope with the initial fail. The FCK YEAH GRAHAM! moments are worth it.

Finding a new gem.

Ghost Hound.
It's made by I.G. productions, and Shirow Masamune is deeply involved with the project.
Two words to sum it up...
Brilliant Mindf*ck.


Ghost Hound is about Taro, a boy who was kidnapped together with his sister when he was 3 years old. His sister, who was 8, died during the kidnapping, but he survived. Now, 11 years later, we follow Taro as the symptoms of his PTSD increase, decrease and change...into something entirely else.

It's a brilliant Psychological/Horror/Sci-fi series, and wonderfully animated - but the most appealing thing would be the sound.
I was literally hopping in my chair by the end of the third episode. For full effect I recommend you watch it in an unlit room, past midnight, and with headphones. This thing's going to creep you out - in a really good way.

Highly Recommended.

After watching that first scene with henrietta, I stopped cuz then I realized I'd be cursing Marvelous Entertainment while watching for not getting the same people to do the animation/voices for the second season.

I still like the manga though...

perspective and research my friend, perspective and research.  Research the weapon first, get as many pictures of it as possible from differnt angles etc.. then draw your characther, rough box where the weapon should be to its approximate size (remember, they are little girls so the guns will be oversized compaired to most examples IE: the FN-P90 is about as wide as my chest, but on henrietta it looked alot bigger)  once you get a rough box laid out, use what ever perspective method you think will work best for you (probobly 2 point)  and draw away!  after that its a matter of coloring or shading it in whatever style you plan to do..

but anyways, back on topic... I just watched Tsukihime again. For some reason I didnt finish it last time.  I got to about the point where ROA apeared and that was it.  Tho having recently picked up the first 4 mangas I already see blaring differences and stuff lefted out of the anime.  The biggest difference is they make no reference to the origin of death points.. spots shiki later sees that the lines originate from and he can destroy or kill things with a single stab with them.. heck in the anime dispite leaving that detail out, its obvious he used one on ROA.

Still dispite other peoples complaining i thing the anime was still pretty good, just horribly abriged

I really enjoy the dark atmosphere DtB has. It has a really nice style, and the action scenes are well-animated.  If you're looking for plot, it's certainly there, but they don't really reveal much in the beginning--kinda like a mystery thing, i guess.  

and given the atmosphere and the name, you can guess that this is an action/drama and not an action/comedy.

True, making a Tsukihime anime requires way more than the 12 or 13 episodes. It wouldn't be enough to satisfy the fans of certain endings.  It had more endings than f/sn did.  And Fate's 3 endings got 26 episodes.  

Most pictures just have the weapon just sitting there.  And yes, they serve their purpose in showing me the visual details.  But I need to find videos of the guns too.  The P90 and a few others I can find easily, but I have ideas that capture the girls in the middle of reloading or with shell casings falling all over the place. heck, my ideas involving guns aren't just limited to the gunslinger girls.... *sigh* now if only I had the time... >_<

Well there is a more pricy alternitive... get some good airsoft weapons and have someone pose.. or the alternitive.. get real guns for reference and have someone hold them/pose.

Maybe I could slap togeather a quick tutorial on gun drawing...

But anyhow at the very least, if you havent, go to a range and fire a gun for a bit. Familurize yourself with a gun and how it operates.  Artists often draw from personal knowlage and a little first hand knowlage would do you some good.

I finally got around to watching Gunslinger Girl...more as a deep sociological commentary and less as a show about frickin cyborg kids running around with automatic weapons.

I have to say that was probably one of the saddest series I've seen, but probably one of the best too... :..(

Quote from: "Silentbob"Spice and Wolf.
How far are you?  I have yet to convince myself to watch past the first episode.  I'm not saying that I didn't like the first episode...it's just that I'm not sure if I know what the show is going to be like, yet.

So there's Horo, a wolf "god" who has chosen to abandon a people who don't entirely believe in her, anyway.  Do more characters like her pop up or is she just this quirky being in the world of humans?
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Silentbob on April 20, 2008, 05:14:51 PM
I've finished it now.   I kept watching because Horo was a likeable character. The story pretty much seems to revolve around the merchant guy and how he tries to make a profit, sometimes with the help of Horo.  Not really what I expected, so story wise I felt it was a bit dull.   They meet up with some other people along the way, but just "ordinary" people.

I guess because there's too little time to squeeze in the manga it seems too short, hopefully there will be more seasons coming.

QuoteDo more characters like her pop up or is she just this quirky being in the world of humans?
Actually... *hem*
There ARE more ones like her around. It's just that, seeing as this first season (and most likely there WILL be more) is only based on the first novel, they haven't met those yet. It's in the same situation as Haruhi - first season released, got great criticism (albeit not NEAR Haruhi's wave of glory), light-novel based and more novels to be written, and so on.
Wait and see!

Added after 7 hours 36 minutes:

Oh. Also!
NEJIN'S SPRING -08 ANIME SEASON REPORT RAMBLE!

Checked series are:
Blassreiter
Code Geass R2
Druaga no To: The Aegis of Uruk
Kanokon
Kure-nai
Macross Frontier
To Love-RU
YGO 5DS

Now! Starting this stuff off, there are some extreme PAIL OF PHAILs around here. You probably know what I'm talking about - Kanokon (and also, YGO5DS, but you've probably guessed that already) is one overbudgeted piece of yoghurty crap (Whilst YGO5DS is just, well, crappily animated Cyberpunk Motorbiking Card Games - just that says it all, really - with the worst VA's EVER). Kanokon's first episode was YOGHURT AGH BLEED MY EYES OUT!!!, second episode was AGH DAMNIT NOT ANOTHER ONE TO YOGHURT THE PLACE DOWN GWADHDFN OH AT LEAST IT'S DFC BUT STILL AAAGHGHAGHAG!!!, third episode was just, small amount of yoghurt mixed with MEH and crappy DRAMA. Now let's leave that to die before it gets more yoghurty and i need use that spork.
(Also, another noteworthy FAIL was Zettai Karen Children, which made me puke out of sheer worthlessness.)

BLASSREITER was sorta good. Cool animation, stuff, and better job at motorbikes than YGO5DS by dimensions, but it still feels like two big somethings are missing. Those would be An Explanation For All This Shit, and also SUBS FUKKEN WHERE?. Might get better later on, though.

Code Geass R2...well, let's just say I think the timeskip just fucked all the amazing buildup they'd had up until the last episode of S1. Also mechas are now even less logical than before, and The Black Knights don't seem to be worth for anything but scrap warriors anymore. Yay Sunrise. But it's still floating I guess, so there's time to salvage it. I fucking HATE HATE HATE Suzaku now, though. Bitch kissing the emperor's ass all the damn time. Haet. HAET. ಠ_ಠ

Druaga no To: the Aegis of Uruk (seriously, whoever came up with that sucky and overly long name needs to be SHOT) is sorta good. Also OP is kinda cool, heh. I still don't grip the damn thing, but I guess that'll come eventually. The RPG setting is a good setup this time, unlike the .hack series which I found just purely enervating, and also the fact that the main character doesn't achieve INSTANT SUPAR POWARS (rather he's sorta n00bish) makes me have some faith in this thing. 's cool. Still lacks some of those very cool battle sequences as of yet, but otherwise 's cool.

Kure-nai...well, yeah. It's good. Really good. It's an odd style, with a really...civilly normal, hasty print on it, which really gives off the feel of daily conversation and not script-reading - to boot, there's enough WTF? to heighten your eyebrow, but not to make you unable to understand. It's really funny to see how Shinkurou handles every odd situation the little girl comes up with, and how she's totally incapable of understanding social conduct rules and so on. This is a must-see for the season.

Macross Frontier - HOLY SHIT, AND I THOUGHT NOBODY MADE MECHA SERIES EXCEPT SUNRISE ANYMORE (and Gainax but they don't count since they're just batshit crazy). Now I know what this is supposed to be like. Maybe. I haven't seen any previous Macross, so maybe that'd be a good call just to see what the hell is actually going on - but it's a really nice tour the first 3 eps give you. CGIs are just amazingly done, and well blended with the normal animation - also I'm still marveling to no end at that amazing OP. Love it. LOVE IT. Also I feel sympathy for "Princess" Altoh-kun - Ranka's "You were so pretty, i thought it was a naked girl changing" is just SUCH an amazing line to that poor guy. Princess, indeed. Also I might just have found my cosplay now. -w-

Finally, To Love-RU - at first glance this alien-girlfriend-from-outer-space-and-instant-mistaken-proposal plot seems to be yet another Kanokon but with aliens instead, but that's where you're mistaken. To Love-RU is ways better, wielding a really amusing male lead who's got some serious GAR in him - but is a total loser when it comes to women. Trying to confess to his (human) love only to be interrupted by a falling spaceship wreckage (which nobody even cares about, by the way) is just, LIFE SUCKS BIG TIME to the max, and this show makes it hilarious. I can't wait for ep3 to be subbed.

Now, have you been listening properly? In that case, ALL SQUADRONS AWAY! TO THE TRACKERS! DL DL DL DL!!! ORYAAAA!!!

Some of the boxed sets here have been amazingly cheap for anime, here.  Usually, though, it's the stuff that's been around for a while.

Anyway, I am currently finding myself enthralled with Wagaya no Oinari-sama.

Reruns of Haruhi (oh how I wish they would make more episodes)

I just can't pull myself to watch much Lucky Star. I don't know why, but I always end up looking for something else. Especially around the first few episodes.

Most of the Digi Charat series.

Post by: Bella on July 24, 2008, 01:10:55 PM
What have I been watching lately...? Mostly whatever stuff is playing on DirectTV :P

Bleach: oh lawd...I'm starting to think Bleach will outlast us all. I mean really, I'm up to ep. 70, and all my favorite anime have ended in 12, 13 episodes, tops. Still a fairly interesting watch, of course. It keeps my attention. Though...damn you writers for making Uryu have no powers now!!! :V [angry fangirl\]

Deat Note: I can't get into this one too much. Meh. I'm afraid it's just not my cup of tea....

Speed Grapher: Debauched, degenerate, graphic...the storyline is like Blood + meets Lolita, with half the plot of either. Yet I still tune in, oddly. Hey, it's the most photography-centric anime I've seen. Though honestly, I'm starting to develope a dislike of GONZO, I've never really seen a GONZO show I like...not unlike Nejin's famous Gainax rage XD

Shin Chan: O. M. G. This is like Bevis and Butthead with preschoolers or something. The animation is sub-sub-sub-par, but the writing is sharp and hillarious...in a very sick kinda way ;)

Code Geass: FINALLY, a show in this list I can say I really like. I'm not a huge mecha fan, but I appreciate excellent writing, plots, and animation. This is the first show I've seen with CLAMP-designed characters, as well...this gets two huge thumbs up from me :D

And some movies/miniseries:

Macross Plus: really great! I really enjoyed this...series? Some of the aeriel scenes were beautifully choriograhped, the soundtrack was excellent; I recomend this one for those who haven't seen it.

Street Fighter the Movie: Meh. It was on the SciFi channel and I started watching it. Too many insanely muscular streetfighters IMHO. XD

Blackjack: Again, another one on the SciFi channel. The animation style was pretty unusual, I think; but the story was fairly interesting (the first anime I've seen with a medical drama storyline), save a few plotholes here and there. :P

Next up in my queue: Gurren Lagann!

I'm also watching To-LOVE-ru. Nothing to say about that one except, fanservice. I don't know why I keep watching it.
Also Koihime Musou, just for the hilarious idea of gender-bender Romance of the three kingdoms. I seriously laughed my ass off when I saw Zhang Fei, or should I say 'Ling Ling'.

I don't have time either, but I do have an EeePC.  Properly adjusted, it makes the most versatile video player ever -- larger than a handheld so you don't have to go blind, but smaller and lighter than a regular laptop so it can be placed in every nook, cranny and orifice imaginable.  To be able to watch Anime during breakfast, lunch, dinner, commutes, wii fit, miscellaneous breaks and in cases of insomnia is... kinda cool.  

Currently wrapping up Clannad (GO TOMOYO!!!!!  *drools*), expecting to watch Clannad the Movie, and about to start migrating to Clannad: After Story.

Well, if "recently" stuff is allowed, then my list'd be quite a damn bit longer, but that's just my current stuff, mostly of what is airing currently. Bamboo and Macross F are the only ones I take after they've finished; everything else I'm all up-to-date with.

I can hardly remember all the stuff I've recently finished off with DELTA's supreme power...It usually goes into the temp folder, into the winamp and into the waste bin in one go. ^^

Dear lawd, Nejin-san and C-Chan, those are some lists! All I've watched recently (past week) was Serial Experiments Lain and I was planning on watching Howl's Moving Castle.

Serial Experiments Lain= massive mindfsckage. In a good way @.@

And I cannot, for the life of me, believe that anybody anywhere is still watching Bleach. It got drawn out by the 10th episode IMHO.

Yay! I've recently been re-watching Lost on cable, and the second season (featuring the Apple ][ and SAGE of death) has just started.

QuoteAwesome! Now you'll know where 1/4 of Unix-sama's inspiration came from. ^v^

...And if you watch Lost, you'll be able to see why I've drawn some Unix-sama/Ben Linus parallels. Sometimes the most dangerous people are the least dangerous looking ^^

QuoteTold you. ^^

Still trying to figure out WTF was up with the alien. And Lain's sister. O.o

BTW, did you catch all the Mac/BeOS references throughout the series? At the end of most episodes it said "to Be continued" (in red and blue, the BeOS logo), they mentioned "Think different" and their computers were running "Copland OS" (Copland, of course, being a rejected Apple OS).

Well...Birdy Decode and Toradora are pretty good, recent series. Macross F is being released off Blu-Ray rips recently, too, so that might be worth looking into. Not as new, but the DMC series were good too (although maybe a bit in the wrong direction). This season, Index is a good mix of serious and fun, with a mixture of supernaturality into the whole; Whilst Hyakko is pure, undiluted, undisputed, unCHALLENGED comedy #1. Except for episode 1. It sucks. Well, maybe not THAT much, but if you skim that, and go to episode 2 and 3 and 4, you'll be just fine.

Damn, I've been listening to too much rhythmic baselines at 80 dB tonight...every damn sentence I type sounds in my head like a rap line. OSHI-.

(Really, who can resist nazi comedy? NOBODY.)

Have you watch that Captain?
Considering your taste, you will love this anime! I'm sure of it!

The heroine can be categorized to...
Uhmm.... loli...

And she is a litle ferocious and violence... and tend to enslave the main character.

And there is also a maid and a princess! Really cute!

This is an old anime, but it's interesting enough to watch.

I've watched that....!
I like Asuka Langley! She's feisty, i like this type of character....!

And i hate Ikari Shinji! He's so stupid jerk! Doing something like choking on injured Asuka(ending)!

This is the first time and the last time that i hate the main character of an anime! The one who supposed to be hate is antagonist right?

The story is sooooo confusing..... you have to watch it several times until you understand the whole storyline, especially the ending(ova).....! Ugh....!

But overall, i like it!

And you don't want to give me free hands with that budget. Chances are I'll either just steal them, or, if I happen to remember what they're for, build a giant Nagi robot and/or that staff of hers, lawl.

I couldn't get into Code Geass...  Uggh.  The crazy plot.  I didn't like the character designs or story too much.  :(

Clannad's pretty cool.  Recommend you watch the first season, and then Clannad After Story (it's nearly finished - episode 19 of 24's out so far) before watching the Clannad movie.

Otherwise the plot for the second season is wrecked up a little.

I am getting the feeling that most (or a lot of) VNs are hentai or ecchi...
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on March 11, 2009, 03:20:01 PM
SRS MODE NEJIN ACTIok, we're go.

First, 7 dimensions isn't near neither my (nor would I suppose one of Nagato's caliber's) limit of coherence or processing capability. It does get somewhat confusing being unable to operate on preset parameters, but as long as you can take the five-times-worse-than-hangover headache and feeling of general displacement you get afterwards, it's ok. (I've done up to 10 dimensions before so yeah)

Secondly, don't stamp people at random. (I'm like a TF2 spy when it comes to stealth. "Hide in plain sight" is like my middle name.)

Thirdly if you didn't quite get it yet, I dislike it because 1: It's KEY, which makes it crap by default, 2: It's got crap story, somewhat good characters but a total waste of using them, 3: Its only redeeming qualities are the supporting characters, AND LASTLY 4 IT'S MADE BY KYO-ANI, AND ARE THUS EFFECTIVELY PREVENTING THE OUTPUT OF SOMETHING OF ACTUAL QUALITY LIKE MOAR HARUHI OR FULLMETAL PANIC, SERIOUSLY, SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE SHOT FOR THE ENTIRE DAMN CLANNAD AFTER STORY PRODUCTION, IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. GHAH.


Seriose mode nejin overloaded. Core unit failure. Reverting to standard mode.

And lastly VN's are all crap, for that very reason. If you can't make things sell without putting sex in them, go home already, stupid telemarketer.

But, put it aside, every person has it's own likes and dislikes....

And so we all know that Nejin absolutely don't like VNs....

Quote from: "Smokey"I am getting the feeling that most (or a lot of) VNs are hentai or ecchi...

Yup! That's what you find in Europe, almost all licensed VN in europe is eroge, but not like that in the origin country....

In other words...to much hyped anime actually push you off? Well at least I do have some tendency like that. In my place, Naruto is the most hyped anime right now. And I'm not fond at watching Naruto.
But without hype, that means that anime is not known very well (like caras). But SOMETIMES, that not known very well actually very good. They just have problem because overshadowed by something much better known.

Uelah! Here I am again...

I too had the chance to see Gurren Lagann...

I saw it via Internet TV and I can say it is a good piece of Anime...  ;019  ;019  ;019

(Internet allows any person worldwide to see tv serials even if these are still not aired in your national TV broadcasts...  :smoke:

Internet is a great invention indeed...  ;012 )

Also I saw Princess Tutu, Tweeny Witches and the few episodes of Magister Negi Magi aired on italian televisions...

Negi Magi suddenly disappear from broadcasts...

I think it was blocked by Italian Movement of Stupid and Bigot Parents (The infamous M.O.I.G.E.) because it contains some spare innocent and hilarious nudity...  ;020  ;011

Sometimes I spotted Yu-Gi-Oh aired on televisions here but I considered it a totally crappy commercial anime showing no any new ideas or interesting plot...

Watching Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino. (on and off over the semester)
zomgSubs suck. (Triad's was awesome, but they stopped at ep 7) Watch it from Funimation streams. (Never thought I'd say that)

It isn't THAT bad really.... Just don't watch the 1st season right before.  Your high expectations for an amazing second season will be dashed, stabbed, shot, and thrown into the sewers.  

Episode 8...... That ending song got me.

Also watching Strike Witches.  Interesting series.........  Kinda weird when I think of the WWII aces they're based off of...... Makes my brain hurt.

Plan on watching K-ON (and a whole bunch of older series) after my last final.

i SHOULD go upstairs and watch something animated.

oh, and a few weeks ago i watched Honey and Clover. (i had already read the manga a bit, so it was nice to actally see it from the start, in an anime.) i could only see the 1st episode (the only one that's free) but it was quite good. superb, really. ^^

oh, and they were offering another favorite of mine (COMPLETELY FREE ^^) xXxholic, so i watched the 2 episodes they had. KICKASS. i loved it, almost as much as the manga. ^^ (they had to edit a scene in which a lady originally died, and added an ambulance. and i think there was a scene that wasn't in the book...) it was really good. i reccomend picking up the manga first, and if you like it, go after the anime.
i especially like the opening theme, "19sai".

Post by: NejinOniwa on October 06, 2009, 05:58:00 PM
I'm returning to my roots.
The first anime I watched as an anime, and the first manga I read as a manga.
What really started things.
Ice and Snow,
the Second Hand of Time.


I cried today.
I was thinking.
And then I said,
I can cry.
Nei, possibly.
Chip, not likely.
Neana, probably.
But we can't cry for ourselves.
Because we cry for the world.

I turned on the music, and cried.
When the notes were over, I wiped my face
but in the music, I cried.
I cried, and tears came.
Blood came.
It dripped on my hands, smeared over my face and my floor
None came on my clothes.

I cried.
Not for myself, not for my reasons.
If I have any, it might be the dead
but I thought of them, and didn't cry.
I thought of the world
and cried.
Demon tears and demon blood.

The core is still the same, no matter how far we stray.
Not blood, nor lust.
Love - and sorrow - for what never were meant
to have.

Added after 47 minutes:

I'm such a depressing poet, really.

Added after 10 minutes:

I did cry, though.
And my nose still bleeds haphazardly, and it's been like that since yesterday.
Might want to check that up. <_<

you ARE becoming emo....and a hemophiliac.

*glomp*
i've always wanted to watch DNangel. any good? ^^
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on October 06, 2009, 09:39:48 PM
I was always a hemophiliac.
It just happened so that I started crying for no apparent reason, and my nose started bleeding as well so I WAS crying and bleeding at the same time, and it seemed quite like crying blood. Yeah. Spent an hour cleaning up the floor after that.

But well, the DNAngel anime is quite good, but not a masterpiece - I thought it so when I watched it, and the animation and plotlines etc are quite good - and most filler is quite watchable as well - even though it doesn't quite follow the mango.
HOWEVER
The VA's aren't exactly top notch...
...and no matter what, if you DL a dual-audio release, turn off the english audio track immediately before it makes your ears puke. It rings so much of 4KIDS DID IT that...man, i dunno.

But yeah, it's quite good.

Added after 1 minutes:

Especially the later arcs, and the ones that it has in common with the manga. The manga is masterful, btw...if it weren't for the fact that YukiSugi takes half-decade-long hiatuses all the damn time. -.-

I watch Kämpfer despite good reasons not to, just to see whether or not it leads somewhere good. It might still, there are some elements of INTEREST that shove up there.

Queen's Blade...tits, tits, tits, tits, oh there's a tentacle wrung around tits, more tits, flat chest, tits, tits, someone gets killed, have some more tits while your at it, and finally TITS.
No thanks, that kind of monotony bores me heavily. ´-`

I was just joking fun about Queen's Blade, its one of those anime that is going to attract attention no matter what. Kampfer I do find interesting but who knows where its going to go. I like Nyan Koi!, Asura Cryin', and White Album and Needless all VERY VERY different types of anime though some of my favorites will always be Idol Project, Iczer 1, DragonHalf, Nurse Angel Rirka, and Space Battle ship Yamato which has a BRAND NEW movie coming out NEXT MONTH!!!!

Old, yes I know.  It's a box set I picked up a couple of years ago at a Best Buy sale.  I finally discovered there's nothing on TV, even satellite, so I decided there was no better time to give this one a try.  Not quite half-way through it yet, but I'm really digging it so far, so yeah... good series.

Currently I am watching:

Gintama-absolutely hilarious.  My only regret is I've already caught up with the series so I have to wait a week for new episodes.

Fairy Tale-giving it a try, hasn't been all that interesting as of yet

Book of Bantorra-Very interesting Anime, I've enjoyed it thus far.

The Sacred Blacksmith-Has looked okay thus far...though a bit too heavy on the unnecessary fan service and the storyline thus far hasn't made up for it.

Letter Bee-Main character cry's WAY too much...I mean, he'll cry for next to no reasonable reason at all.  Other then that, the anime looks surprisingly good for one that I ignored initially (looked a little too kiddyish for my tastes).

Kämpfer-Never was one for cross gender anime, but this one has a fairly good storyline, so I'm keeping up with it for now.  It's remained enjoyable thus far...though again a bit of unnecessary fan service.

Vampire Princess Miyu-Very interesting anime, I like the look of this one, and fortunately it's been long done, so I don't have to wait a week for the next episode.

It's actually rather good, apparently more faithful to the manga.  I prefer the first series, but I still intend to buy it when it gets released in the UK.

@Choco: Avatar's a good show... not anime though (though heavily anime-inspired).

@ stewart: ROD movie or TV?  I've got the movie... it's pretty good.  I liked all the literary and historical stuff - really cool.

I've been watching Outlaw Star recently and just about finished - I like it.  I'm looking forward to seeing what shows [adult swim] picked up for this year.  They hinted at three, so I'm assuming InuYasha: Final Act (probably won't watch) and FMA: Brotherhood (will definitely watch considering how long I've put off seeing it online) are two of them, but I'm hoping they picked up something interesting and new.  Why the hell hasn't Index been licensed?

Post by: stewartsage on January 18, 2010, 08:21:08 PM
The movie, I too really enjoyed it; but watching it at 4:00 AM was probably not the best choice.  Also, it should be said that Yomiko Readman is now one of my favorite protagonists of all time.  Otto Lillienthal, jean Henri Fabre, and Stephen Wilcox as anime villains = win.

As I said Choco, Avatar isn't bad, in fact, I like it a lot.  It's the one American show that uses that anime-inspired look that really gets it.  It's a show by anime fans that actually knows how to incorporate the elements that make anime (and any other fiction) great.  Still, not anime.  I would put it in the same class of western animation as a show like Batman: TAS or Gargoyles, both of which were also great shows.

On topic, I just finished The Familiar of Zero (all seasons + OVA), now I'm angry.  I don't think an anime has ever left me so disappointed or angry.  I mean, I know the idea was to leave the door open for a fourth season, but seeing how it has been just over a year since the OVA and even longer since the completion of the third season with no announcement, I'm not particularly hopeful.  Of all times, the series had to stop on such a disappointing third season.  I would just as soon pretend that neither Princesse no Rondo nor Princesses no Rondo even exists. I just want to point my finger at Shakugan no Shana for holding up J.C. Staff's progress ><.  Gah, so frustrated...

Meh, doesn't bother me.  The only character that's really ridiculous is Tiffania, but I've still seen worse and it worked for this series.  Can't have a great pettanko without characters that make her complex apparent.

Now that I've had some time to let the initial NERD RAGE subside, I don't feel quite so strongly about ZnT.  I'm still disappointed with the ending, but I'm not pissed off about it anymore.  Bless the MST3K mantra, you save me again.

I'm sure my opinion still sounds fairly negative, but I actually did enjoy this series.  If there were any indication they intended to finish it, I would be incredibly enthusiastic.

Quote from: "NejinOniwa"Well, yeah. But isn't that usually the case about open-ended series?

Well, it really depends.  While not as frustrating as a completely unresolved plot, a plot that is wrapped up a little too neatly can be frustrating as well (generally due to some lack of creativity).  It's okay, encouraged even, to leave some questions unanswered, it spurs continued interest and repeat viewings of an enjoyable series, but to leave too much unanswered can simply cause frustration and confusion and mar an otherwise satisfying experience.

Of course, Princesse no Rondo's conclusion was obviously not meant to be the end of the series, but given the lack of information on the future of the series, one couldn't tell -_-;.

I don't like when a series has an inconclusive ending. Some time ago, I was watching the Naru Taru anime, I watched 10 out of the 13 episodes and quit there, after finding out the ending isn't very well-done. :-/

I'm also disappointed that there's no third season of Rozen Maiden. It's a pretty good series, but the Alice Game storyline didn't get very far and didn't have a conclusion.

Pumpkin Scissors is an odd name for a war story. O.o

I'm also watching Saikano. I've heard it's a dark pit of emotional despair, but so far I've just been mildly amused and rather annoyed. I'm hating the characters, and the art style makes me want to cry more than anything else... >.<;;

Have you ever looked into fansubs, by any chance? That's how I'm watching K-On. (Albeit, rather slowly)

*wikis Murder Princess*
Only 6 episodes? That sounds like my kinda show. (I have uber-ADHD when it comes to finishing series.) >.>

So yeah... I finished PPD a little while back. That has to be one of the best comedy anime I've ever seen~! :V I'm also continuing with Ergo Proxy (it gets better as it goes along) and rewatching Gurren Laggan. Damn, I nearly forgot how AWESOME that last one is. ;v;

Sasemeki Koto is cute and all, but I will agree it is RAGE inducing. CAN YOU NOT SEE JUST HOW IN LOVE YOU ARE, DAMMIT? >O<;

If you don't mind I'd like to post my childhood story from a confortation I had with a close friend.


[UU]Kraus: I'm glad we got together like that

[UU]Kraus: I needed that...

[UU] Sharp: You're glad we got together at Dan's?

[UU]Kraus: No I mean, when I finished that series like that it made me think about my life

[UU]Kraus: How my childhood with interacting with other people was horrible...

[UU]Kraus: How for a portion of my life, I was either a tool of "friends" or just had no friends at all....

[UU]Kraus: Brought back alot of memorys of sadness

[UU] Sharp: Dude...

[UU] Sharp: That's deep...

[UU]Kraus: eh, thanks. You, Jon, and Dan were the first people to ever not
take advatage of me in a way or just disregard me as no one

[UU] Sharp: I respect you.

[UU] Sharp: First person I ever honestly respected was Jon.

[UU] Sharp: Then you.

[UU]Kraus: Thanks, not many people show any kind of respect towards me even though I go through a life that can be modeled as spoiled at points in time. The only person whom respected me even though I was younger then them was Bef, thats why I look up to him alot. He ran relay for life for my mom which is something I can deeply respect and am honored by.

[UU] Sharp: Nice.

[UU]Kraus: eh, life is such a bitch to me. I've herd people say stuff about me, saying that I should just go live is England if I am so proud of being English. People haven't ever respected my heritage and have just used it to bully or haras me. I used to get in alot of fights because I'll let people talk shit about me, but if they say that my family is crap they better be ready to fight me.

[UU] Sharp: That what happened with Kevin Sweet?

[UU]Kraus: Do you remember when I fought him in 6th grade? He walked up to me and said that my family is poor and never got an education. I beat him down for that, the entire football team backed me up and kept him from throwing any punches at me and let me leave without a scratch.

[UU] Sharp: In 6th grade?

[UU] Sharp: I don't remember that.

[UU]Kraus: I don't think me met at that time, it was the talk of the school for a while though

[UU] Sharp: Well, you were in my homeroom in 6th grade, but the extent of our conversation was talking about video games.

[UU]Kraus: People still remember me beating the shit out of him in 5th though, I punched 3 of his teeth out and chipped another.

[UU] Sharp: 3?!

[UU] Sharp: I heard you just knocked one out.

[UU]Kraus: 2 molars and a canine I think along with a chipped molar

[UU] Sharp: Wow.

[UU]Kraus: It was one huge as swing that I took though, some of the molars were adult so no new ones, had to get them implanted

[UU] Sharp: Damn...

[UU] Sharp: I'm sure you got suspended though, huh?

[UU]Kraus: The principal was on my side in all this, no suspenchion just she took me out of class for a few days to let me re-adjust. Keven had bullyed me for around three years untill that day, he also took my best friends away from me. the pollok twins.

[UU] Sharp: I see.

[UU]Kraus: I was pissed off every day and wouldn't even do my work with other people around. for about all my pethetic childhood in school I wasn't enjoying myself or making friends. I would go to the back room where we would put our coats and cry alot of the time, I would refuse to come out most of the class and had to be placed in the front of the room at all times because I would sneek in when nobody looked.

[UU] Sharp: Well, I'm glad that me, Dan, Jon, Snow, Yobbs, and Geoff came around.

[UU] Sharp: Sounds like you were almost clinically depressed.

[UU]Kraus: I would hide it alot, I still do sometimes when I get reminded
but this is the first time in around 3 years since I've felt this bad.

[UU] Sharp: Wow, that show really hit home for you...

[UU]Kraus: Yea man, I respect that show alot now because it just shows that life can be really bad but you have to be positive...

[UU] Sharp: Just remember this: All that's in the past now.

[UU] Sharp: You got friends now that want you around, not because you're easily used, but because you're fun to be around.

[UU]Kraus: yea, I'm just hoping TRP will snap me back into place again or Kennywood or something.

[UU] Sharp: Oh yea, I forgot we're planning on Kennywood day next week.

[UU] Sharp: Just remember, you ever need a pick-me-up, my house is always open.

[UU] Sharp: Just give me a bit of a heads up.

[UU]Kraus: ok thanks man

[UU] Sharp: No problem.

[UU] Sharp: Just forget about it.

[UU] Sharp: It's in the past.

[UU]Kraus: Yea, thanks man. You and everyone else are the best friends a could like me could have. I'm truly blessed.

Thanks for reading all this, I'm sure not many care that much.

After I finished Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, I took a look at the new season. Black Lagoon OVA interests me - especially that it is based on a very promising arc - but I also checked out the first episode of High School of the Dead and Mitsudomoe. I never denied I have a taste for several genres, as long as it manages to keep me entertained.

Hmm, I've been considering Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei... I've heard excellent things about the series, and it looks like something I'd like.

Currently 17 episodes in to Pumpkin Scissors, decided to watch it on a whim after hearing it compared to Fullmetal Alchemist in a review. (Then again, every alternate-reality, World War I-era European military-that's-chock-full-of-dark-secrets anime is compared to FMA, it practically invented the genre!)  I've heard that the ending isn't particularly... good... or even ending-like, but I like the characters and there's enough conspiratorial intrigue to hold my interest, so yeah. The title is infuriating though, like seriously.

Speaking of FMA, can anyone tell me wth is going on with Brotherhood? I've only seen a few episodes, but it looks like they changed it and now it's worse. D,:

Also considering Sora No Woto once again, after TV Tropes compared it to Haibane Renmei meets Aria meets K-On meet All Quiet on the Western Front, which sounds like a damn interesting combination.

Annnnnd, Angel Beats and Eve no Jikan are on my to-watch list.

Oooh! I've wanted to see Pumpkin Scissors since I read the TV Tropes page on it! The main characters seem really cool! :)

I've seen Brotherhood (or what's aired so far) and I like it, and think it's an improved re-telling of the original.

I'm currently watching Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

Remember when I raved about it Bella?  Yes, oh god yes I love Pumpkin Scissors so much it has to be seen to be believed.  I litteraly break into a cheesy grin thinking about it.  Well, it's not the series end, the manga continues on while the anime just kinda stops... which makes me want to invade Japan for a second season or an English translation of the manga.

No idea, I watched random episodes late at night with my ex trying to explain to me what was happening.  Afraid I never got into FMA.

Sora No Woto is on my list too.


I've edited that page Aurora-hime!

Yeah, I could probably take it or leave it if the characters were mediocre, but they're really rather awesome. And good characters are like 70% of any work of fiction for me. ^^

But HOW could the original be improved upon?! It was excellent already. >.>

I remember trying to get into that Way Back When, dunno what happened but I only got a few episodes in.

How could I forget? I have a few series that are like that (Ergo Proxy + Cowboy Bebop + Gurren Laggan gwehehe!), but more make me want to sob thinking back on them. :< That's comforting to know, most anime that are adapted from ongoing manga have less than... ending-like.... endings, so that's more of a general problem. <<

FMA's a difficult one, not so much the storyline but the sheer SIZE. (Seriously, 50 episodes in S1 and 64 in S2?! They're going the wrong way!)

Yey~ That graphic's made of lulz. xD

The first 2-3 episodes of Nanoha (season 1, which is what I'm watching) aren't very good. In fact, they're very cliche, but the series gets better, especially by episode 7.

Finally finished Pumpkin Scissors. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even if that last story arc was painfully drawn out (really, 5 episodes? It seems like that could have been resolved in two, three tops).

Anyone have any experience with Black Lagoon? It looks pretty interesting (and vaguely Cowboy Bebop-esque), but then again it also looks like it might be a 24-episode shoot-and-explosion-fest too. D:

Um... you could always buy or rent DVDs or watch on Hulu or Funimation.com or download from non-torrent sites (the fansub site I use has torrent and regular downloads, I usually opt for the second route since torrenting is another thing I'm paranoid about).

So there's a lot of other legal and not-so-legal options out there. :\

I wouldn't say that. The material is pretty impressive, but I think they're doing a bit too much of a CENCO approach...and with the abstract setting it all is, no narration or explanation whatsoever might be somewhat of a bad move.

Regardless; it was some seriously cool shit.

I have to agree with the people who say the Black Rock Shooter OVA lacks a bit, plot-wise. While I can understand they had to build up the story in both ways, but the way it was executed with the erratic switches and the lack of balance between the two timelines (not to mention the anticlimatic ending) made this anime less than spectacular, I believe.

Title: What anime are ya watching?

I think season 3 would be in the area of central and east Europe (Germany, Austria, Poland, Russia, Scandnavia) or Asia (China) (Not Japan AKA Fuso because they arn't in any danger aparently....)

Finished off stick witches 2 yesterday, THIS ENDING WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH, SEASON 3 BETTER BE IN THE WORKS OR ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE PISSED.

Not sure what else to watch right now, any suggestions?
Title: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: stewartsage on October 05, 2010, 12:18:51 AM
CBI is China-Burma-India Doc, one of the most under equipped and undermanned but vital fronts.

Personally I'd also like to see an OVA maybe set during the fall of Karsland, or the battle over the Fuso Sea at the beginning of the war before a third season comes out (something tells me we might get Africa?).  Alaska is highly improbable, I know, but that doesn't stop a guy from hoping for obscure theatre love.  Hell, an OVA set during the Korean conflict would be awesome; either Neuroi vs. Humans or Humans vs. Humans as the world looses collusion with no Neuroi to fight.

I KNOW RIGHT?  I FOR ONE AM DISSATISFIED WITH THIS CONCLUSION.

No idea, I'm not really watching anything now :\

I, too, have... erm... what's the word? Well, I did what you did. Except with four episodes so far.

I, uh. I... well, I dunno. I guess I like it. Kind of. Hmm...

I wish Haru x Sora were more of a focus... I'm confused about what happened between episodes-- actually, between all the episodes? "Between episodes 1 and n," then. I guess.

On another note, I've been watching Ore no Imouto ga Ko..etc..Wake ga Nai ...Eh, it's alright. I want more Angel Beats instead.

And Highschool of the Dead disappointed me. I had to get really drunk to feel less sad about it. Because it had a lot of potential, and, um, stuff?

Hey, isn't there going to be a new season of Shakugan no Shana now that Shana S is done?

Quote from: "NejinOniwa"I ask myself why I haven't watched Azumanga yet, so I start watching it...


...this shit is gonna break me. -_-;

Awh. Wish there were some 16:9 raws...

That's on my to watch list too. Even though I sort of like the deep pit of depression-ness of the original series, four one and a half hour movies > 26 episode series (I has a SERIOUSLY short attention span for most anime). -.-;

Watching the new (Black/White saga) Pokemon series.

Apparently, Satoshi trains his Pikachu by letting it use Thunderbolt and/or Volt Tackle...on himself.
And he doesn't even FLINCH taking them head on...




Satoshi must've evolved into an electric type himself without noticing it.
Also, DRAGON SNEEZE~

I've always been a Master since the release of Blue/Red. That guy on top of Mount Silver? Yeah. That's me. And you won't beat me, even with 6 LV100 Dragonites on your team. >:]

No but srsly - started checking the japanese movies one time, and then proceeded to the rest of them: quite surprisingly, some of them are really good (ESPECIALLY the 8th movie with Lucario and whatnot), and then when Best Wishes started I thought, what the heck.
And lo and behold, Team Rocket are actually acting villainous and being cool for once - that gets it a gold star from me.

And in ep 5 (i think), TR's Meowth painted himself like an Umbreon to distract the locals by rarity...worked nicely, and then when he was cornered he was like, "Lol no, I'm no Umbreon, just a talking Meowth passing by" and strutted off like a cool guy. Took them like half a minute to realize Meowth (as a Kanto pokemon) is pretty damn rare too, and resume chasing. LOL'D. Also Satoshi throwing pokeballs at people due to strange hairstyles and hiding in bushes. LULZ'D. Still some of the old childishness, but I liek it so far.

So yeah, that and Star Driver. Also got around to watching Strike Witches (up to episode 8; though I saw the first few episodes... sometime last summer I think?). So far my reaction has been along the lines of HOLY YURI OVERTONES BATMAN!!!!!!!! ಠ‿ಠ

There's a decensored version of that panty-theft episode. And parts of the rest of the series.

Black Lagoon (really awesome up to now)
GITS:SAC (Motoko <3)
Bakemonogatari (felt kinda weird at first but I've warmed up to it)
MIchiko to Hatchin (interesting style IMO)

Dr. Kraus, Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko) anime starts off from quite the middle of the manga, it's fairly difficult to catch on without reading it first, especially on the first view. ^^ Judging from its measly length (11 episodes? WTF) it won't finish anywhere either. Nevertheless, I'm up to episode 9 by now, and absolutely love it. Thank goodness for animes without fan service and ridicule. <3

and the plot is great

Also on episode 20 of Kimi ni Todoke

Not proud of that though

Also...

Can anyone else not stand English dubbed anime?
The voice actors are decent sometimes, as was the case with Cowboy Bebop
But, there're no honorifics...
And...
Cultural references tend to be carved up so horrifically that it makes one wonder if...
perhaps...
The dubbers themselves are illegal Mexicans?
Illegal Mexicans.

Well, a recent dub that I enjoyed would be that of Baccano!.

Mostly because they don't use that same pool of voice actors, since they wanted to get the 1920s accents and things in it. I don't like dubs myself, but that one, I do recommend.

Well, I'm getting back to Card Captor Sakura; after leaving off at the start of season 2 back in February due to some technical difficulties with my wireless router. With that corrected, I'm finally back on-track and currently up to episode 38

I couldn't ever make it past a few episodes of Lucky Star... Maybe... I wasn't drunk enough...

Err, I've been watching Steins;Gate
But nothing else

I started watching Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, but it's not my style

Started watching Hidan no Aria, but...
I mean, I never thought I'd say it, but...
I think...
I might actually hate Kugimiya Rie ?

Maybe... Maybe... Ehh, I'd like it if she did something different than the tsundere thing....

I am stockpiling anime in case it turns out there is no internet at my place of employment/none I can use either.

That said I've got A Channel, Nichijou, Moshidora (because Spice & Wolf no longer holds the monopoly on economics/business anime), the first two parts of the Yozakura Quartet (one episode every like five months?  Bullshit.), and probably Showa Monogatari soon.

VERDICTS: For such an old series, animation is pretty damn nice - quite a bunch of things you never see these days are present. And I mean, come ON - a series with a main character that JOINS THE ARMY TO LIVE THE EASY LIFE and is such a walking aphrodisiac that he crashes the (female) ship AI as he's doing his application test due to flirting with her instead of answering her questions - THIS CANNOT FAIL.

My-HiME was among the first handful of anime I watched when I first knew what anime was.  When I was watching Madoka, My HiME immediately came to mind.  Kajiura soundtrack helped greatly in that regard.  Like Madoka, there is a sort of Episode 3 moment. Not quite "OMG WHAT?! NOOO!!" but more, "aw damn, sh*@'s hitting the fan now." (that made more sense in my head) Madoka is way better, but My HiME seems to be up there in my internal ranking. Must be the nostalgia goggles.

Also, during this "anime newb" period, I discovered a DVD for Tenchi Muyo in the local library. I do believe I saw a scene with Ryoko and Ayeka bathing.  A year or two later, I saw the same scene on Cartoon Network at my cousin's house. Immediately, I noted, HEY, THOSE SWIMSUITS WEREN'T THERE BEFORE!!
I was corrupted before I even knew I was corrupted. haha

figured i'd let anyone know who's interested, i found some anime that's free to download (legally!!).

it's called Megumi, and while the story seems sad, the style seems decent. it was also produced by the japanese government. :3
here's (http://www.japanprobe.com/2008/04/16/free-anime-download-megumi/) a page with links to the original page, where you can download it (it comes in multiple languages, both subbed and dubbed).
i'll warn you now, the MPEG-4 link on the english version is broken, but the WMA files seem to work (which stands to reason the ones for realplayer do too). i'm probably gonna convert the WMA to MPEG-4, so you probably could too.

looks sad but pretty, but sad. :\ (and FREE!!)

EDIT: the only one out of the subtitled versions i could get to work was the narrow-band realplayer version. if anyone else can get them to work, then please send it to me. :\

And for some mood whiplash, I'm also watching Madoka Magica. Right after watching episodes 3 and 4 of PSG, a friend and I watched episode 3 of Madoka Magica. o_o

After watching the first few episodes, saying "meh", and letting it sit on my hard drive for the next 8 months, I finally got around to watching Sora No Woto in its entirety.

It was fascinating. Note I didn't say "interesting", since interesting would imply that something actually happened. No, it was one of those introspective character studies, paced neither to slowly nor to fast. There was a disappointingly small amount of fighting for a war story, and I would have really liked to know more about the background of the characters and their setting... but oh well.

It's been described as K-On meets All Quiet on the Western Front meets Haibane Renmei - I didn't see ANY K-On in it (save the superficially similar art style), but the Haibane Renmei comparison is well-founded if you ask me... also, this chart I modified pretty much sums up the characters.

-Mikuru's moeblobbery is teh lulz.
-Koizumi's ho-yay-inducing-disregard-for-others'-personal-space is also teh lulz...

-Yuki + guitar >>>>>>> All the lead characters of K-On combined

Because of scanning up that OS-tan doujin yesterday making me think back to Kagami's reaction to a yaoi doujin, I've found myself on a Lucky Star kick again; watching the first episode with the English dub. I've seen it in it's entirety subbed, so this is a new, if a little strange, experience for me with this series.

I started watching... ehh...  Anohi Mita Hana, etc.

Anohi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai...

Translated: wtf were them flowers doing there? Or, wtf... were... them flowers... called back then?
I like it. It reminds me of a mixture between Clannad and Hellsing
Anaru's transformation into a magic girl is EPIC

MAHOU SHOUJO ANARU

But it's pretty cool so far. Episode 3 incoming right at my face

I lied about mahou shoujo being involved, btw :\

I plan on watching the one about galactic heroes soon. Legend of the Galactic Heroes, I think it's called. That one you mentioned, zjh

Hope it's good...  I just need to pick it up from where I downloaded it :D

Man, I watched more than half of Hayate no Gotoku's first season before I stopped, and I dunno why I stopped... I must have gotten sidetracked by something? Or, maybe I needed a break from Kugimiya-san...

I wish the chick from Soutaiseiriron would be a prominent action anime seiyuu

i have too many that i'm currently watching.  how about the ones that i'm particularly enjoying?shinryaku! ika musume - how can you not love a show about a girl with tentacles as her hair, vomiting squid ink, working at a seaside cafe and trying to take over the world?kuragehime - must be a sea theme. this reminds me of otaku no musume-san, except it's not about a daughter, but a cross-dressing bishounen.mm! - fine, it's about a masochistic high schooler trying to change his ways, but it can be quite cute and sweet at moments.and a sentimental pick from my old collection for a re-watch - dennou coil - go watch it if you haven't.

Watching Legend of the Legendary Heroes! (not Legend of the Galactic Heroes yet, will watch that later)

They added alot of Anime to Netflix (though its mainly English dubbed) so I've been just browsing around in there, I've found many highly regarded anime selections for the instant streaming. Think that when I get my second monitor back up (my younger brother took my really nice LG because he is addicted to playing Counter Strike: Source) I'm planning on watching:

1. Eden of the East (Movie and Series)
2. Samurai Champloo (I've seen it all in Japanese but I want to see what they did with the English Dub)
3. Afro Samurai, Afro Samurai: Resurrection (SAMUEL MOTHA-FUCK'N-L. JACKSON)
4. ALL the Gunslinger Girls (One of my favorites, I'm going to love it in English or Japanese regardless)
5. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (DVD needs to be sent in, I'll have to wait for a while to watch this because I'm going out of town for a good week)
6. Baccano! (Why haven't I watched this yet?)
7. The Sacred Blacksmith (Only herd good things about it, should be a good watch)

This is a pretty long list, so I'm probably not going to finish it all for a few months along side the current anime running...

I think I'll watch every Kara no Kyoukai movie this weekend since nothing's happening

I also have the Eve no Jikan gekijouban now, but a cursory inspection shows that it doesn't have much new content!  :(

Post by: NejinOniwa on August 19, 2011, 07:07:07 AM
Regios is shitty shounen crap.

Or, well, ok, it's not THAT bad, but it's boaring and doesn't progress its plot in any direction that's actually visible within the first like 10 episodes. Nice action though.

I have seen SO MUCH animu >_>
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on August 19, 2011, 09:34:58 PM
@nej: that's your opinion. typically most of the stuff i read/watch is either sappy-ass shojo like kimi ni todoke or me and my brothers, or action-action-action shounen stuff, like reborn! :\

that said, i like regios so far. it seems to have some deeper elements of plot, but in terms of relationships, it seems like the cookie-cutter love triangle between the tomboyish one who can't admit her feelings, the fangirl(s), and the mysterious quiet one. other than that, the action is really lovely, and frankly, i find both the main character and the tomboyish love interest hot. the mysterious one and her brother and their 2 friends ain't bad either. >////w////>;;

the action sequences are nice, if you're into that, although the main character seems to be "THE CHOSEN ONE" (or something like that, you get my point). plus, they have cute school uniforms!! >:3

this is likely a dumb question, but has anyone here seen pretty guardian sailor moon? (the live-action adaptation of SM) i was thinking of torrenting it (partially for the lulz), but if anyone's seen it i'd like an opinion.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on August 19, 2011, 09:39:16 PM
I saw a few episodes of it, when my sister borrowed a bootleg box set of it from one of her friends. It's not too bad, although a bit weird because it feels less like the Sailor Moon I'm used to and more like a Super Sentai or Power Rangers series, due to being live action
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on August 19, 2011, 09:42:29 PM
besides the weirdness of usagi's hair being black one second and blonde the next, was it any good? or was it just a campy crap adaptation? :\ (worth watching?)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on August 19, 2011, 09:51:31 PM
It's worth watching at least a few episodes to try it out. It does feel a bit cheesy compared to the anime, but then again, that's what most live action adaptations are like in my experience
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on August 19, 2011, 09:54:53 PM
why do you think i watch more anime, lol? :3

of course, that leads to the question of what if they adapted a live-action series into a cartoon?
(power rangers anime? or a jem live action series???? o__o; )
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on August 19, 2011, 10:07:53 PM
it's in that grey area of cartoons that's not quite anime but cooler than a regular cartoon (jem, speed racer, etc).

the old episodes on demand are going out today, so i'm hoping for some new episodes of chobits and regios soon. :3
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on August 19, 2011, 10:16:34 PM
Um...Speed Racer is an anime series. A very early one (Pre-Voltron, post-Astro Boy), but an anime series nonetheless
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on August 19, 2011, 10:53:32 PM
yeah, i know. but it may be within that grey area, since anime is a bit of an umbrella term in retrospect (today's anime is nothing like older anime like oniisama e or mahou tsukai sally).

EDIT: third episode of regios has yuri at the beginning........i approve :3

Great movie, recommend to all along side 5cm/s ("Five Centimeters Per Second")

watched the first 3 episodes of My Bride is a Mermaid last night (and lol'd when i found the first 2 episodes on demand this morning). i've only been through 3 episodes, and already my patience (sp?) is wearing thin on some of the recurring jokes. that said, though, this anime reminds me of classic 90's comedy anime, with the kinda-lame puns, the over-the-top emotions, and squarish eyes. :3 if you guys are yearning for something that makes you laugh and facepalm like you did years ago, then watch it. if you have no patience for these things, then skip it. :3

Steins;Gate, the entire series
Spoiler: ShowHide
What a great series!  It's basically an anime biography about me.  Yeah, no big deal...  But I'm usually drunk when I time-leap, which should explain a coincidence or two about IRL.  Making sense?  I mean, just ask yourself why some things are so awesome.  Spoiler alert:  I MADE EVERYTHING AWESOME WITH MY TIME MACHINE!


@Ga-Rei Zero - You are such a good anime, how'd you get to be so cool??  I wish I'd watched you sooner

@Carnival Phantasm - YOU ARE AWESOME.  Illyasviel is awesome too.  And Saber.  Those Tsukihime characters aren't real, though.  Where's Ryougi Shiki I WANT TO SEE RYOUGI SHIKI, thx plz!

@Zero no Tsukaima - I can't believe you're getting another season.  You're alright, but can I borrow Kugimiya Rie first?  I need her to be Shana's seiyuu

After hearing Bella and the others make a big deal about it, I decided to take a break from CCS (Having finished season 2) to try out Madoka Magica

So far, it's...really weird, for lack of a better way to put it, but since it's a short series (12 episodes), I'll likely finish it before watching the final season of CCS.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: stewartsage on September 21, 2011, 08:42:36 PM
Through episode six of Durarara!! and through to ten of Ookami-san.

Opinion thus far: Ookami-san isn't my favorite series of all time, though I do like it.  Durarara!! kicks ass.  Accept no substitutes.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: svx on September 23, 2011, 05:11:11 AM
I watched Durarara a few months ago...

It's getting pretty popular in America, too.  Adult Swim is playing an English dub of it

But...
Ehh...

I mean...  I watched it all, but...
What the hell was it about?  :p

It felt like Boogiepop Phantom to me,
because I didn't know that the one chick in Boogiepop Phantom was NOT the other chick (THEY LOOK THE SAME! :( ),
until the very last episode

I'm watching... a lot... of stuff...

other than that, finished episode 10 of regios yesterday, finished 21 of chobits the other day, and currently planning to watch Excel Saga, Ikki Tousen (i OMG'd when i realized what this was, since i've had the manga for years), and moar Samurai Champloo. might also start Sekirei, though i'd have to torrent the first 2 episodes. :\

Rejoice, I actually found some decent animu on my cables' on-demand service!

Highschool of the Dead episodes 1 and 2 - it's pretty much an orgy of blood and violence and boob-and-panty fanservice. I was regretting watching it before bed during ep. 1, but episode 2 wasn't quite as horrific. Okay, it was still pretty horrific, but the nailgun-toting antics of Kohta COMPLETELY made up for it. Picture related.



So far, he and Saeko are my favorite characters, though Saya is kind of amusing (in an I SPY A POTENTIAL YANGIRE way) and the walking fanservice machine school nurse is kind of hilarious as well.

Since HSOTD is kind of grim, I decided to watch an episode (ep.11 to be exact) of Hidamari Sketch afterward ... finally, an anime for all those who think series like Nichijou, Lucky Star and Pani Poni Dash aren't random/bizarre enough!

Ive seen the show, its okay but its definitly one I watch with my friends for the sake of MS3K comments durring it.   The manga she show is based off of is actually drawn by a hentai artist trying to go "legit"  hence all the fan service. Personally.. I could have done without the zombie panty shots.

The gunplay seen in it is pretty nice tho.

If your club could handle NGE, they can certainly handle Dantalian. -w-

I mean, unless the later half of Dantalian ends up being insanely depressing, violent and mindscrewing, but I seriously doubt that it's headed in that direction.

Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 01, 2012, 11:59:14 AM
good to know. the club president is peforming experiments lately to test the boundaries of violence tolerance in the club. so far we've watched one part of the NGE movie You Are Not Alone. it went well, but we had to skip most of the scene where Shinji was in Misato's apartment, since there was a bathing scene with nudity. :\

that said, if there's time in the spring, i'll mention Dantalian to the club president. :3

That's so cool that you have a college anime club. : o

Pretty sure nobody in my neck of the woods is into manga or anime. I've only found one or two manga ever at new or used book stores (even ones with comic sections), anime never turns up at movie shops, that really nice Naruto shirt was hanging out in a thrift store that has a typical product turn-over time of a week for like the last four months, and the only other anime fans I know around here are my brother and an acquaintance. >.<
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 02, 2012, 05:37:45 PM
which is why you should come hang with us sometime. :\ there's lots of people who like anime here. (the local FYE has an 'alright' anime section, but the Barnes and Noble has a really nice manga section (and a seperate section for the "How to Draw Manga" books).

@stew: i haven't had any interaction with the club here outside of saying hi to its president once in awhile. that said, the high school anime club is open to new things, which is great, since otherwise we'd be watching nothing but D Grey Man, FMA and NGE movies. :\

speaking of which, i want to watch ahead in the anime we're watching, but i want to be just as surprised as them when we see it >>;

So,

I'm... watching a show
it's called Mirai Nikki

and...
Gasai Yuno is pretty cute.

Really cute. But.
and this is a huge "but",
I'm pretty sure Arucard from Hellsing would be terrified of her
and she'd probably murder Lucy from Elfen Lied with an ice pick

Good anime so far :)

It's exactly that!  Well, I guess the smiling comes after she's massacred some people though...  She's too busy being A FREAKING MONSTER to smile until then :p

I'd say Mirai Nikki is like...  Death Note, with Black Lagoon elements, exactly :)  ...and perhaps an odd love story, somehow?

watched Taisho Yakyuu Musume 4 earlier. ^^ you stand up for yourself, Koume! a woman's place is NOT in the household!!

EDIT: finished 5, 6, and 7. we've seen them get a new teammate, test their skills against elementary school kids (who are surprisingly good sports), and challenge the middle school pitchers (and one batter) to duels in the street at night.

oh, and the main character is now betrothed. ^^;

Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 05, 2012, 10:23:27 PM
@pentium: badass, lemme know if you want links to the original movies (they leave a few parts out in the american ones, plus there's the ones they didn't release like Diaboromon's Revenge).

also, it's a kickass show, i really want to get people to watch it but no one seems interested. i have the whole series if you'd like a zip file or anything.

also, watched episode 8 earlier. after a whole bunch of misunderstandings, koume's fiancee knows about her playing baseball, and he's cool with it.

Did you know Tokyo Bushi is set to the tune of the Civil War era song Marching Through Georgia?  And was popular with Japanese troops during the Russo-Japanese War?
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

the more you know!

(did you know that most of the landmarks mentioned in the song are now non-existent?)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

I did, they were mostly destroyed during one of the Tokyo earthquakes.  I keep considering buying an old Tokyo Metropolitan Police sword they have at a local antique mall.

Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 08, 2012, 04:35:50 PM
@bella: DO EET.
@stew: DO EET. and alot of the ones that survived don't exist still, they were either torn down or converted into other buildings.
(also, if you mean the great kanto earthquake, the series is set in 1926, 3 years after the quake, and it mentions all the landmarks.
maybe it's just a coincidence.)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: stewartsage on January 08, 2012, 07:06:16 PM
Mhmm, I don't think it was the Kanto quake that took them down.  Fire bombing WWII finished off most of them though, being made of wood.

Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 08, 2012, 10:21:53 PM
true. that was one of japan's flaws during that war. :\

i need to figure out if there's any more nudity in Urusei Yatsura. >>;

EDIT: upon googling the subject, this amusing little blurb came up:


1. i don't like religious organizations, regardless of intent. people of all faiths should come together and watch anime. >>;
2. there's nudity in the first episode and it's a recurring plot point throughout the series and some of the movies. xD
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on January 12, 2012, 08:50:36 AM
That site's name alone makes me cringe >_<

Anyway, I've started to watch Digimon again. So far, thoughts on the Japanese version:

- The theme song is better. No more "Digimons are the trumpets Digimon are the champions"; we instead have a theme song that has more lyrics to it, and just seems to fit better

- The background music is better than what I remember the dub having...although to be fair, it's been so long that I may not be remembering the dub's music well

- The Digidestined are simply called the "Chosen Children". To me, that sounds better, as "Digidestined" sounds kind of silly

- Although this also existed in the dub, I have to point it out: Izzy has a Pineapple iBook. Therefore, the character I relate to the most has his own version of Sonata :3
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Bella on January 12, 2012, 12:12:58 PM
People can't have a website/community to discuss TV programs that happen to agree with their moral or ethical system? What if the site was dedicated to Muslim-friendly anime, atheism-friendly anime, or for that matter, peace-promoting or anime or feminism-friendly anime?

Secondly, nudity isn't always sexualized, and even if it was presented in a somewhat bawdy manner, not all Christians would object to it. There's actually an enormous range of moral and ethical variation among people who identify as Christians; the same as people of every other belief/non-belief system.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 12, 2012, 09:53:39 PM
i clicked on the site out of curiosity. they're about introducing anime to people that think it's 'evil'. there's even a section for parents, complete with "is anime really okay for my child to watch" section.

i'm cool with people having religious groups and whatnot. but i don't think religion should be brought into things like this, since people should be able to sit with people and watch and enjoy, regardless of faith.

(besides, if the site makes a christian cringe, i think that says something. >>; )

also, the thread was about whether or not Urusei Yatsura is ok for kids. while the series is alright for 13+, it was pretty funny for the person posting that to forget that THERE WAS NUDITY IN THE FIRST EPISODE. >>;;;

@pentium: i haven't seen the subbed series yet, but yes, the theme songs were so much more epic. >w< pretty sure i have them in mp3 format if you want.

also, the background music is really nice, isn't it? it makes me wonder why they would change something like that. :\

also, i prefer some of their japanese names to the american. xD did you know they changed Tai and Kari's last name for the dub? they were originally Yagami Taichi and Yagami Hikari. :\

I think it's actually a good thing that a site like that exists, since quite unfortunately, some of people still hold the absurd idea that anime is all violence and sex ... and not just Christians or conservative people either, think about the sort of stereotypes that teacher of yours was spouting about anime and manga. Maybe that site will help people see that the stereotypes surrounding of anime aren't true, and that it's as valid - and potentially-inspiring and enriching - a form of entertainment as any other.

I... never used dial up. At least not at my house. The first time I had my own internet connection was in ~2005ish, and that was broadband of some sort...

As for anime - still watching HSotD and Dantalian (though I'm only to the half-way point on both.) ^^;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on January 16, 2012, 07:54:44 PM
Dial-up, i think, was when my mother's work issued her a copy of Internet Explorer. Via post. On cd. It was fairly early, just after we got our Win95 computer, which should reasonably have been somewhere around 1996 or so.

We got 10mbit broadband in 2000. ^^;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 16, 2012, 08:01:25 PM
we used dial up till we got rid of the internet when i was about 10. we didn't get the net back till i was 14, which is when we first got broadband via fairpoint (we switched to comcast not soon after). i have fond memories of dial-up, as well as trolling for hentai when i was like, 8. and all those nights i would spend on SM fansites. <333 good times.

that said, nothing ostracizes a kid in this day and age quite like not having the internet. it was an awkward couple of years, and it took me awhile to catch up.
now, i'm ahead of most. >w>

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on January 16, 2012, 08:18:06 PM
We used dial-up from roughly '95 (On the unknown 486 that came before the Yeti) until '09; when, after nearly 10 years of trying to talk mom into upgrading, she finally moved to DSL. It's the slowest internet connection of every last person on this site, but it's still 10x faster than what I had before it

Anyway, I'm currently watching Digimon again. I haven't sat down to episode 2 yet, but I have up to episode 35 available when I'm ready

last week in anime club, we continued Usagi Drop and watched the first half of the first episode of UY. we also watched another section of the NGE movie. and we determined that my schoolgirl outfit is now my official mascot outfit. :3
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 20, 2012, 12:42:13 PM
double posting due to age~

today we continue Usagi Drop and Urusei Yatsura, though i freshly torrented the OVAs for UD, so i'm going to propose watching that to the club.

after that, we'll continue the second NGE movie, You Can (Not) Advance.

i'm also going to be asking the club what they'd like to watch in the future. right now the prospects are:

Dantalian no Shouka
Taisho Yakyuu Musume
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
D-Grey Man
Ben-to

and i could always torrent something else. xD

Taisho Yakyuu Musume
Ben-To
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Dantalian no Shouka

Let me know how that goes, I kinda want to check that out but haven't 'cause I'm slow to check out new series that I haven't heard reviews of. Same thing with Mawaru-Penguindrum ... 

Steins;Gate I REALLY want to watch, since it has the BEST REVIEWS OF ANY SERIES, EVER on Anime News Network. I have all the episodes downloaded too, i just need to get around to actually watching them. : /

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 25, 2012, 09:12:39 PM
no, they don't. any anime i torrent can't be licensed in this country, since if it's not, it's legal.

it's like a don't ask don't tell thing, but since the torrenting process had to be explained, the white knight types started to get all uppity, so the president asked around the computer repair room about it, and found out that non-licensed is legal.
that said though, Taisho was like, THE perfect anime to show. hence my pissyness.

yes. yes it does. >:[

i think i might ask if i still can, since i got it before i knew about the license. but i doubt they'll let me. even though it's THE. PERFECT. ANIME.

in response i got some openings for other suitable unlicensed animes to make up for Taisho. (though nothing can really make up for it. IT'S SO GOOD ;^; ) the list of trailers/openings i have now are:

Code Geass
D Gray Man
Dantalian no Shoka
Ben-To

SO 90'S
SO CAMPY

I LOL'D HEARTILY

also, today's club lineup included the ova 6.5 of usagi drop, in addition to episode 7 of the same series. we watched the opening to ben-to and dantalian, the former to much celebration, the latter to quiet contemplation. the president wants to start the former asap, stating "this looks so epic. they're getting this hyped over food. we're watching this next. and if not, next year."
after that, we watched code geass ep. 3, though we had to skip the last 10 minutes due to a shower scene. honestly, the president coulda planned better. but that's okay, the series is steaming along well. >>;

currently torrenting softenni and fight ippatsu! juden-chan!!. >w>;

EDIT: just added more torrents to the cue.
Sekirei season 1&2

Post by: Nichi on March 25, 2012, 11:15:51 AM
So, to kind of mix things up (Since I'm almost finished with Ben-To), I decided to check out the first volumes of Negima and Evangellion from the library (While LOLing at the fact that volume 1 of Haruhi was filed under "Non-Fiction" xD)

I watched the first few episodes of Negima ages ago, so that's more of a coming back to it years later to maybe finish it.

As for Evangellion, it's decent; the dub has that mid-to-late '90s flare to it (It's not as cringe-worthy as the Cardcaptor Sakura dub, thankfully), and Shinji is annoying, but overall it's a series I wouldn't mind finishing...or rather, "reach the mindscrew final episode that I've heard isn't much of an ending"
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Pitkin on March 25, 2012, 12:54:34 PM
Evangelion's only true ending is the original one, I refuse to think about anything made after. >< As for Shinji, I personally like his character because I find it more credible than many other teenagers in anime series.

edit: On-topic, watching the original Dragon Ball. Episode 50 or 60 something, Fedora-Tan might remember exactly. ^^;;;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Bella on March 25, 2012, 01:24:46 PM
I could watch the original Evangelion if I wanted (brother has the DVDs).......... but I'm kind of scared to. >>

The first two Rebuild movies are awesome though. ^^
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

Post by: Chocofreak13 on March 25, 2012, 10:35:22 PM
i have the first rebuild movie, and i've seen both. they both rock. though the second is better cause it has Mari. -w-

shinji is one of the more annoying leads i've enountered, made worse by the original theme song doing nothing but saying how great he is. >>;
that said, he's not all bad. maybe it's because his mum's dead and he has a crap father. who knows.
that said, i've been watching urusei yatsura. and more urusei yatsura. and i'm gonna watch more in a bit. consider it a part of con prep. :\

Post by: Nichi on April 06, 2012, 10:59:20 AM
I'm still watching Ben-To off and on. Once I'm finished, I'm not sure what I'll do next; either find a torrent of Cardcaptor Sakura (So I can finish that up) or finally get back to Digimon.

Also, I bought the first disc of Trigun at a garage sale this morning. I haven't seen it in years...and, since the box set is only $20, I might eventually buy it

i torrented the series a week or two ago. i've been meaning to get back to my torrent list....

Post by: NejinOniwa on April 21, 2012, 04:49:27 PM
Basically? Meet Mahiro, AKA Male Protagonist. Mahiro is assaulted by Nightmarish Monster for no apparent reason.
Meet Nyarlathotep, lovecraftian old god of some horror or what have you (the crawling chaos), AKA Nyarlko, AKA Female Protagonist. She fucks the monster up and splatters it bad, whereupon she proclaims herself Mahiro's protector, because apparently some people are conducting deals on some intergalactic/subverse whatever blackmarket thingy. Which would involve Mahiro. Also, she has researched EVERY SINGLE THING about him, and proclaims her love for him at first sight. Naturally, this happens while his parents are off on their honeymoon trip, so NOBODY'S HOME.

The usual.

BUT.
When she tries to sexually assault him on her first night in his house, what does he do? Not haphazardly fend her off or meekly sit there and take it in, or for that matter turn all H-mode for no reason. Oh no.
HE DEADPAN STARES AND STABS HER WITH A FORK. UNTIL SHE STOPS.

Nyarlko will suffer this treatment many, many times in the future.

Cue making fun of every single imaginable aspect of Lovecraftian horror you can think of. COMEDY GOLD.

Post by: Chocofreak13 on April 21, 2012, 05:30:51 PM

watched ep 1 of Welcome to the NHK. which brought me to this conclusion:

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on April 21, 2012, 11:30:16 PM
So, I just watched episode 1 of My-Hime. My thoughts so far:

- So far, it's interesting. I'm not far enough into it yet to form too much of an opinion, but it's pretty good thus far
- Being a series by Sunrise, it has the same feel to the art as other series by them that I've watched over the years. Not a bad thing at all :3
- Mai has a skirt with pockets. Where can I get one of these?

Cool :3

So, I've started watching Evangelion and G Gundam at the same time; currently up to episode 3 on both. So far, G Gundam is just as awesome as I remember it, while I'm making my way back through the first 4 eps of Eva just because, so my opinion on that series has not changed.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on April 30, 2012, 06:37:44 PM

also, it seems that i can't find a working torrent of jem. (says something about "invalid bencoding" or something.) but i'm still watching NHK.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on May 08, 2012, 07:30:10 PM
I'm currently up to episode 14 on both Eva and G Gundam. So far, my thoughts:

- With Eva, Shinji has either grown up just a little bit, or I've just become more tolerant of him; as he's not as annoying now, moving up to a "Meh, he's ok" character. Still a pretty good series so far, although so far it hasn't reached the really weird parts I always saw people talk about online

- With G Gundam, it's still frigging sweet even after all these years. I'd suggest watching it, if you're in the mood for a mecha anime that feels like a half-way between a "real robot" series (Any other Gundam series) and a "super robot" series (Gurren Lagann, Gigantor, etc.)

Finished NHK, and SHIT GOT REAL. O___O
good series, i really reccomend it. the final episode made me gasp in horror, cry, and smile wide within 10 minutes of each other, and even with the "meeeeh" end part, it was still worth the watch. -w-

Watched Azumanga ep 3, The Big O ep 19, and Kuragehime ep 1 (with mum!) yesterday.

Azumanga: Yukari's quite the bitch. and i now sympathize with Yomi. ^^;
The Big O: that episode is hilarious as usual. and mum caught the tail end, and said she wants to see more of the series. >w<
Kuragehime: Mum liked it and said she wants to see more, so as her introductory series into anime, i think it's going well thus far. :3

Kaze no Stigma is on demand. my thoughts so far:

kaze no stigma

kazuma's father earns FAILther of the year
'son, i am proud. also, i am disappoint.' (not a literal quote, but it works well after the fight they had)

Kazuma: "don't worry about your old man. i made sure he got to a hospital."
Ren: "you took him yourself?"
K: "no, that'd have been too much of a pain in the ass. i just called 911 and told em' where to find him."
(R: "WHAAAAT!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, HE'S YOUR FATHER!")

ren is gay for kazuma.....? (brotherly love?)

And the 6th episode ends with the male protagonist finally getting what's coming to him: NYARLATHOTEP RAEP?

no, no. it's mainly just no nudity (or as little as possible), and no gushers (blood points should be kept about 7 or below). if it's in english (or if they sprinkle english into their japanese), swearing should be kept to a minimum, too. >>;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

There's a lot of swearing, I think. I say "i think" however because I don't speak Elder God.

I'm still on Evangelion and G Gundam.

With the former, I really hate Shinji's father now. I'd further elaborate, but since I don't want to spoil it for anybody here who is interested in watching it, I'll leave off why. However, I will say that I have 8 episodes left before I'm finished with it

As for the latter, I have 30 episodes to go. This show still kicks ass, even though it's been 10 years since I last watched it (On Toonami, no less :3)

Which reminds me ... I really want to watch Perfect Blue ...

They say it's pretty much anime Black Swan. (Then again, I've heard the same thing said about Princess Tutu...)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on May 19, 2012, 09:44:47 PM
If by Black Swan, you meant fucking awesome '40s pirate movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Swan_%28film%29) instead of modern movie that happens to have the same title but is completely unrelated, I'm all over it

Anyway, I'm almost finished with Evangelion, and nearly at the half-way point on G Gundam
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on May 20, 2012, 09:07:16 AM
@bella: i haven't even seen tutu and i can tell you it's like anime black swan. only better cause it's not american trash.
THIS AMV EXPLAINS ALL (might spoil stuff so be careful) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9197GTl1ASg)

yesterday i watched 4-6 of Ben-to, and 1-7(halfway) of Solty Rei. had been meaning to re-watch/finish Solty for awhile, so i'm looking forward to watching more, and as for Ben-to, all i have to say is that THE CLUB CAN'T SEE THE FIRST HALF OF EPISODE 4. O/////O;;;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on May 20, 2012, 09:32:37 AM
Yeah, episode 4 was a bit extreme ^_^;;

So, 6 episodes left on Eva. After that, I think I'll need to take a break from it for a while, before I attempt to watch End of Eva. Of course, I have Digimon and Cowboy Bebop lined up, along with the 2nd half of G Gundam, so I'm good
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on May 20, 2012, 09:35:53 AM
i'd like to get some more Solty Rei in today. the great thing about it is that it's still fresh yet it's english.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Bella on May 20, 2012, 10:39:45 AM
A-A-American trash?! Black Swan has been on my to-watch list for so long. u.u So has Princess Tutu, but I've been a bit hesitant since the art style seems a little cutesy for me. :/

I'm thinking I might rewatch Serial Experiments Lain, because I haven't had a good solid mindfscking for awhile. (I've been meaning to rewatch it for monnnnnths, but I keep getting sidetracked/chickening out.) .__.;

And Dennou Coil too, since it seems like it would be a good show to watch along with Lain.

Post by: Chocofreak13 on May 21, 2012, 09:21:32 PM
@bella: most american media doesn't impress me. tbh black swan looked like most movies here: a recycled bunch of concepts presented with a new title. ooo, there's a rivalry. ooo, it's cutthroat. OOOO, they're dancers. BOO-RING. >>;;;

if you want a mindfucking, how about gantz? i haven't seen that series in YEARS but it was gooood. -w- (of course, i saw it when i was 12-13, which might not have been the best thing ever, but still, it was good.)

@nej: i hope nichibros doesn't get licensed over the summer. :\

saw ben-to 4-7 today, showed 4-6 to the club. skipped the first half of 4 and skipping 7 with them; too much fanservice with too little plot. :\
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on May 21, 2012, 09:47:46 PM
I loved ep7; it had me rolling on the floor over things like Yoh's "rudder-boner" xD

Anyway, I I'm on episode 23 of both G Gundam and Eva. With the former, the first story arc feels like it's drawn to a close, and with the latter, it's getting really weird
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on May 21, 2012, 10:07:05 PM
you know, i actually had to look up the list of characters to figure out who yo was. as it is i don't think he's ever been called that in the series. >>; so confusing.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on May 21, 2012, 10:11:51 PM
He's been called by his name a few times, but it's not very often. At least it's not like with Cyberchase all those years ago; where I had to go to the official website just to figure out the names of the 3 kids ^_^;;;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on May 21, 2012, 10:22:38 PM
all i ever hear is Satou, so like the characters in the series i refer to them by their last names. however, i didn't learn Yarizui's name until today.

and wiki keeps using their first names. ERRGH SO CONFUSING
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on May 22, 2012, 07:56:37 PM
Yeah, it was a bit complicated ^_^;;

So, I just finished Evangelion. The in-series ending was underwhelming, to be honest; it feels like it just ends, without much resolution to the plot, which is something Shinji himself points out in a hilarious bonus feature from the English DVD release (CONTAINS SPOILERS) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hzjuf686oA). Sure, there is End of Evangelion, which I do have on hand, but I think I'll take a break from this series for a while before I attempt to watch that.

Next in line, Cowboy Bebop. I've always seen it compared to Outlaw Star, which is one of my all-time favorite series, so it'll be interesting to finally see it from the beginning

Post by: Nichi on May 23, 2012, 05:48:41 PM
So, some thoughts:

- Now that I've hit the half-way mark, G Gundam has a new theme song. Unfortunately, this one is rather lame compared to the previous one; it doesn't get you pumped up and excited. Still, good series :3

- Just started Cowboy Bebop. So far, the intro is pure coolness, while the show itself is quite impressive thus far; I can see why people compared this to Outlaw Star
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

bebop. THE WIN. SO MUCH WIIIIIINN.

watched more Solty Rei today. i'm having moments of "oh yeah!!" as i watch, considering i saw these episodes on demand (i got cut off at about the halfway mark).

i believe i'm on episode 12 now.

Are they new, new episodes, or original ones you haven't seen yet?  I need to research this now :p
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on June 03, 2012, 12:35:21 PM
i believe it's the latter. i'm behind anyway. but it's a good series. :3

also, loves me some cousincest here. -w-

EDIT: today i watched Ben-to 8-11, but the club only saw episode 8 before the protests made me turn it off. i was even gonna skip ep 9, too.... >>;;;

despite that, it was still a good day at club, since we watched ep 1 of Princess Jellyfish/Kuragehime, to uproarious cheers and laughs. even though it's licensed, it's been demanded that we show it in club next year. >w<

i also handed out Ben-to 1-12 (entire series) to 6 lucky members of club (sorry dennis ;^; ), including soundtrack and a special message from me. :3

might watch ep 12 later, if only to resolve the cliffhanger for myself. :\

(i wish we could have seen 10. it had such great action....)

The first Berserk gekijouban was AMAZING

I didn't care too much that it was made with that "completely CG, yet emulating 2D" art style at first, but it kind of grew on me around the time they encountered Zodd the Immortal  :>

I also watched Sword of the Stranger.  It reminded me of Samurai X (Kenshin) a lot!  Very cool, great story  :p

Ahh, and I also watched OVA's 1-9 of Hellsing Ultimate.  I own most of the manga, and I daresay that it followed it... ...peculiarly closely :p  I liked it overall, but it's not my fav.  I should've waited until episode 10 was out!  Anyway, man, the one thing that throws me off...  It wasn't the long, corny, comic-book speeches, or the surreal/uncomfortable poses that the characters take...  no, no.  The one thing that I kept thinking about, that almost ruined it for me, is that the soundtrack is absolute rubbish compared to the Hellsing TV series.  :<

The animation when Alucard fights Luke Valentine was much better in the OVA.  But in the TV series, the music made the scene surpass anything the OVA could've done to make up for a lack of it, IMO  :p

And now I'm watching Dennou Coil!  Have you seen it yet choco?  It'd be perfect for your anime club  :D  It's pretty amazing
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

I obtained some anime from Kari while I was there. Since it was a last minute thing, some series I wanted I had to leave behind (Sailor Moon being a major one), but I did obtain Trigun and Azumanga Daioh at least. I'll post a full list later; when I can get to my drive

Oh; I did obtain Welcome to the NHK while I was at it. It's only right that I watch this series, since my ringtone is of a song from the series (Also, it's one that sounded interesting from my TV Tropes wikiwalk a while back)

@choco - IDK  :<  I looked back and read my post and it didn't make any sense to me, so I did an OCD "let's make this shorter" thing  :p  I think all I said was - it's made by the same producers (Madhouse) who did Paranoia Agent!  The art style is very similar, etc, etc.  Give it a peek  :p

There are a bunch of other anime streams too, here's the schedule + links (http://www.rightstuf.com/rssite/nozomiEntertainment/productionNews/individual/?ForumThreadName=FT0000001730&Offset=0&ReturnTo=Archive) for all of them.

Just watched the first two episodes of Utena, probably gonna give ARIA a look too...

:0

i've always wanted to see Utena!! thankyou so much!!

gonna watch Aria, Dirty Pair (i have a couple VHSs of this series so i figure i should give it a try), Utena, Antique Bakery (it sounds cute), Emma (i heard victorian, nuff said), MAYBE Rental Magica, Boys Be..., Gakuen Alice, Gravitation, & His and Her Circumstances. all of the unfinished series i listed are maybes, since i'm not fond of unfinished ones (if i can't get them all from the same source, it's kind of a hassle).

also, watched Kaze no Stigma 5-9 today. in the middle of an arc, it's quite good. also managed to hook up my computer to the TV with no problems this time. ^^

i need a dedicated computer for my TV for anime. :\


EDIT: i'm up to ep. 15 of kaze no stigma. recent thoughts include:
"AYUMI WHYYYYYYYYYYYY"
"POOR RENNNNNNN"
"oh god, that's so adorable."
"do they really think americans look like that.....?"

also, just watched ep. 3 (last episode) of Buttobi CPU (I Dream of Mimi). thoughts:
"OH GOD, THIS SERIES IS SO CAMPY, LOL."
"TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL"
"the poor things ;^;"
"LEGIONS OF GIRLS!!!"
"WHY IS THERE NO EPISODE 4"
i seriously think that OSC should watch this series, despite its ecchi nature. it's like the precursor to OS-tans, plus it's short, adorable, and campy. and come on, the enemies are called "Nackintosh"!!! xDDD

about to watch the last episode of ben-to, we'll see how it goes.

EDIT EDIT: just finished ben-to ep. 12, my thoughts:
"n'awww. they look like boyfriend and girlfriend. but i get the feeling that she'd be pissed if someone said that. ;v;
"don't you think yarizui will be mad that she wasn't able to fight....?"
"so.....many....wolves...."
"jeez, red from pokemon is a bitch. >>;"
"grilled unagi looks tasty....."
"TAKE THAT, RED!!!"
"yay, everyone's friends ;v;"
"i really wish there was a sequel. ;^;"
"*belts out the ending*"
"SCREW SINGING FOR YOUR SUPPER, YOU GOTTA FIGHT FOR YOUR SUPPER!!!"
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! *RAISES FIST IN AIR*"

it was an amazing series. so glad i got and watched it. definitely worth a rewatch. ;v;

EDIT EDIT EDIT: marathoned kaze no stigma, finished it. it was a good series overall, even though at times it was a tad obvious. they hinted at a season 2, but the series was made in 07, with no signs of activity, especially since the original creator died in 2009. that said, it might be worth a rewatch, so i'm considering torrenting it (watched it on demand and through an online video service).
also, POOR TSUI LING/I HOPE LAPIS ROTS IN HELL THE BITCH WITH HER LITTLE 'MASTER' TOO

TOTALLY RELATED TO CHOCO'S LOVE OF KAZE NO STIGMA


I just watched Dog Days episode 1

I started watching it before, but never got into it

...

It's about a war.  So sad.
One thing about war?
War
never changes.

[[/fallout3 reference]]

Anyway,

Spoiler: ShowHide
THE SOLDIERS EXPLODE INTO KITTENS WHEN THEY GET "DEFEATED" OMG I'M NOT JOKING


So horribly cute.

svx needs moar for some reason
and I will have it

Anyway,
why related to choco's post?

The main guy is pretty much a rock star
from what I've read, anyway

Just finished Dog Days  :>

Wow,
it was better than expected.

Amazingly well done!  I figured it'd be -

1.  Cute kemonomimi girls
2.  lol we don't need a plot
3.  Fanservice

Instead, it managed to turn the hilarious OMG THEY EXPLODE INTO KITTEN ORBS DURING PLAYFUL WARS plot into something amazing.  It even got pretty deep at the climax

My one annoyance...

My favorite seiyuu Kana Hanazawa only gets to play a second-to-main character  :<

MORE KANA HANAZAWA IN THE UPCOMING SEQUEL PLZ

More cat orbs, too  :>

So, the series I've mainly watched as of late is Casshern Sins

Upon doing research, I'm likely going to torrent the fansub of the original '73 series, Neo-Human Casshern, sometime soon; just to see what all was changed in the new series.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

Perhaps I, too, will watch this... Casshern Sins.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on July 05, 2012, 08:25:02 AM
@svx: Do it, man. It's a pretty good series so far :3

EDIT: So, I'm finally getting back to the anime I was watching. Sadly, since I can't remember what episode I left off on with G Gundam (I know I've seen more since episode 32, but I can't remember exactly where I left off), it's being put on the sidelines; while I continue with Cowboy Bebop and Digimon. Once I'm finished with one of them, I'll likely start watching Trigun or Azumanga Daioh.

...or possibly Softenni >w>;;

Post by: Chocofreak13 on July 07, 2012, 01:59:35 PM
@raffaele: what'd you think of NHK? i wrote a paper on it, and found it to be hilarious, sad, disturbing, disappointing, intense, and sweet all at the same time.

@pent: SOFTENNIIIIIIIIIII

WAAAAAAAATCH

@svx: casshern is interesting in that i haven't really seen anything like this before. similar, but not this specific concept and tone. if you liked cowboy bebop, trigun, or maybe even big o or gantz, you might like this series. :\

my friend mel is pressuring me to watch summer wars since it bears a striking resemblance to the digimon movie Our War Game. besides that, i need to catch up on casshern (still) and have been wanting to watch kuragehime lately.
though i'm still all about tokimeki tonight lately. i even found a fansub group doing it! ^^ (but they haven't updated since april.... ;^; )

Ah! I forgot to mention that it was aired Puella Magi Magica Madoka too, but I miss to see some episodes.

So I am waiting for a second TV passage and taste at its best this superb romantic and bloody mahou shojo anime.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on July 09, 2012, 08:35:00 PM
finished Kuragehime(Princess Jellyfish) today. it leaves room for a sequel, but i don't think there is, which only leaves hope that the manga will be translated. >>;

also finished SoltyRei. at first i thought it was gonna be your run-of-the-mill action series, but HOT DAMN THAT WAS AN EPIC ENDING. GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY, SHIT BLOWIN' UP, PEOPLE DROPPING LIKE FILES, HAL-LIKE AI SYSTEMS, GOOD GOD THIS SERIES IS WORTH A REWATCH. AND I TEARED UP A COUPLE TIMES, TOO.

OSC I KNOW YOU LIKE ACTION AND I KNOW YOU LIKE INTRIGUE AND I KNOW YOU LIKE SUPERCOMPUTERS SO I KNOW YOU'LL LIKE THIS SERIES.

(plus the final boss was very touhou-esque. :0 )

EDIT: finished the SoltyRei 2-part OVA and got through 1-13 of The Wallflower. the OVA was cute, and i really like The Wallflower, but i doubt anyone else here will. ^^;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on July 12, 2012, 09:26:00 AM
What is the Wallflower about, anyway? I think I remember seeing some of the manga on your shelf, and never got a chance to ask

As for me, I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I now have the Outlaw Star box set >:3
I might watch it through again once I finish Cowboy Bebop
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: stewartsage on July 12, 2012, 07:27:59 PM
I have a couple copies of the manga around here somewhere.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on July 13, 2012, 01:40:52 AM
of The Wallflower? or Outlaw Star?

cause if it's the former i will be both surprised and willing to buy any copies past vol. 6 off you. xDD

@pent: The Wallflower is about how 4 bishonen living in a european-style mansion are given the opportunity from their landlady to have free rent provided they can turn her niece, Sunako, into a "proper lady". Sunako once cared about her appearance and such just like everyone else, until her middle school crush told her "he didn't like ugly girls" (this was after she confessed that she liked him). she began ignoring how she looked and collecting horror items, to the point where people now call her "the creepy girl" or "the scary girl" (and this is the people that see her regularly; those who don't assume she's some sort of vengeful spirit). shennagins ensue.

i say that no one here besides me would like it because it is made up of elements that no one but me has shown an interest in; a harem of bishonen, heavy goth/horror elements, excessive comedy (in weird ways), etc etc. :\

also, bought the vol. 1 DVD of Kodocha yesterday. it was 99 cents. xD
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: stewartsage on July 13, 2012, 06:16:44 AM
The Wallflower.

Bells and I'll actually be at the shop I bought what I have on Monday.  I can't remember how many volumes they have, but I think they have at least through 7/8.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on July 13, 2012, 09:08:49 AM
@Kari: Interesting. I might give it a try later on; I mean, I did enjoy Fruits Basket, and that focused on a girl with a harem of bishonen >w>
I hated the ending to the anime series for that; they didn't even resolve the love triangle or anything ;_;
The manga had the best ending IMO
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on July 13, 2012, 02:45:44 PM
@stew: *0*
oh man, if i had cash i'd wire it to you. ;^;
also, i'm surprised you like it. and here i was thinking i was the only one on site (besides cockle on occasion) who enjoyed bishonen in any form. ^^

@pent: you might like it in that case, but the plot is less connected than in FB. more about the comedy, too.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: stewartsage on July 13, 2012, 07:06:31 PM
Bells is probably going to go into a Hipster swoon or something when I say this, but I don't really do manga/anime genres very much.  I just read what I want.  (if they still have the later volumes, I'll grab them for you and have Bells bring them home with your Rarity blindbag)

Yay, we're gonna visit a store that has manga! Also I don't know if I'll be able to carry much with me, my bag is pretty much full. :[ If I find any books or w/e (which i probably will), I'm gonna have to ship them up. >>;;

Me too. The longest part is waiting on the torrents to finish >_<;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on July 16, 2012, 08:33:30 PM
that's not really much of a problem for me. on my end, it's mainly about finding subbers for each specific series, then getting the torrents for the episodes. sadly the current trend is to release the episodes as they come on japanese TV, meaning that there's a new episode each week. as nice as this sounds, it also means that there's going to be 10-15 torrents per series (depending on the length of the season), and since i have about 20 series i'm interested in...... >>;;

on a more positive note, i finished The Wallflower today, and found out at episode 22 that there's an english track, lol. xD i plan on rewatching the series in english (out of curiosity), but not right now. right now, i've started a new series,

Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-Chan!!. i'm over halfway into the series (not counting bonus episodes), and so far i can say that it is an adorable yet extremely ecchi series. it's borderline porn at some points, but the story and characters are very fulfilling. when plug sacrificed herself for that kid in episode 6, it was so touching. ;v;
i'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the series tomorrow or wednesday. :0

Since I didn't mention this here before, Stew and I watched the first two episodes of Steins;Gate when I visited. I've been meaning to continue with that.

Today I watched Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works 'cause it was playing on demand.

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on July 29, 2012, 11:31:02 PM
So, I watched Casshern: Robot Hunter...or rather, Casshan: Robot Hunter; as the name was mistranslated in this version ^_^;;
(Also, Buraiking Boss is "Black King Boss". He looks a lot like Sigma, from Mega Man X)

The story is pretty good; since this is much closer to the original '73 series in plot, I can really see how this influenced Mega Man X. Being a 4-part OVA, it has a nice budget to it, so fight scenes are surprisingly close to Casshern Sins in terms of style. The theme song is quite good, however the voice acting is not that great, but that's likely due to a bias toward the voice actors of the current series.

Also, there's some fanservice in this. Not overboard like some shows; just enough to be nice -w-

All in all, it's pretty good; I'd highly suggest checking it out if you currently enjoy Casshern Sins, or are a fan of Mega Man X

Accel World - I wish that Haru's avatar in the accelerated world was the suit that Gordon Freeman wears in Half Life, except that I wish it could administer some kind of antidepressant to balance his ass out instead of morphine!

Sword Art Online - I LOVE THIS SHOW I LOVE THIS SHOW I LOVE THIS SHOW (probably because I'm a huge fan of the light novels!  Otherwise, it's sad that they're condensing such long chapters into only one episode apiece, and that they're doing nothing but side stories for the first many episodes :<)

Dog Days' - Way different than the first season.  I guess it's okay that there's so much fan service, but it feels like a far different show with all of it, and it's much less... deep?

sorry man. ^^; i won't spoil the plot for you, but it seems like the kind of anime you'd be into, though. :3

today's anime has been: Hiiro no Kakera (technically watched last night), Hanasaku Iroha, Astarotte no Omocha!, The Daily Lives of High School Boys, Sword Art Online, B Gata H Kei, Hanamaru Youchien, Natsuyuki Rendezvous (took me over 4 hours to watch a half hour episode, srsly =___=;; ), Tsuritama, and Dantalian no Shoka. ^^
30 series down, 55(?) to go. -w-
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on August 22, 2012, 08:43:38 AM
I've recently started two new series. Here are my thoughts on them so far:

- Eureka Seven
You know, I remember when my sister was still working at Game-X-Change, she somehow managed to get this series and the Syfy Original Series, Eureka (Which I was watching at the time), mixed up. That funny bit aside, I have to say that this show looks promising thus far; it kind of makes me think of Gundam in some regards, and thankfully, compared to the last extremely popular mech anime I watched, Renton is actually a likable character (Yay! He's not a Shinji clone!)

- Samurai 7
I remember catching a few episodes of this when it came on IFC circa '06 or so, although I never got to finish it; as it always came on at the same time as Fullmetal Alchemist (Which I was hooked on at the time. Speaking of, I do need to actually give the new FMA series a try). Thus, when I heard that Toonami had picked up the rights to this series, scheduling it to begin airing after Deadman Wonderland finished, I was excited to finally have a chance to finish the series. I'd suggest checking this one out if you're a fan of samurai

Now, I'm likely going to start on a quest of samplers to try out the series I've obtained from Kari. There's quite a bit to go through ^_^;

Oh Joy. Two new anime... :D  ;D

I just read on TV-newsmagazine that starting from this thursday, my national broadcast will air Planetes and Mawaru Penguindrum...








Some years ago I've already read the Planets manga and it is beautiful. I hope that the anime can reach its levels.

Mawaru Penguindrum seems very bizzarre and funny... :D

Slayers is one of those series I've always wanted to watch, but never gotten around to due to size and stuff.

Stew's brother inadvertently convinced me to rewatch Serial Experiments Lain, I watched the first two episodes today.

THIS IS A VERY BAD CHOICE CONSIDERING THE RECENT SPATE OF SHARED DREAM EXPERIENCES AND TALK OF PSYCHIC NETWORKS, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on September 25, 2012, 12:53:17 AM
yeah, it does look interesting.

that said, watched the first episode of Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi and Working!! today, and the intro to Yosuga no Sora (i stopped because i didn't have time to preview an anime that's not going to be approved for club anyway).

showed the remaining trailers today:

Ao no Exorcist
Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro
The World God Only Knows
Uchuu Kyoudai
Working!!
Arcana Famiglia
Hakuouki
Hiiro no Kakera
Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth
Shirokuma Cafe
Sket Dance
Yuru Yuri

out of all the ones we picked, we narrowed it down to two:
Sword Art Online
Kami-sama no Memo-chou

after this we got into a bit of a disagreement since we couldn't really reach a consensus on what else to play...usually we have 1 Shonen, 1 Shojo, and 1 Comedy to keep a balance. SAO counts as the Shonen, and Kami-sama can count as the Shojo, but the only other series we could agree on was Code Geass. i have no problem with that being played, but club is going to be such a downer if we do! as a result most of the club members started getting all apathetic ("i don't care", "whatever", etc.), which pisses me off because it's like, if you don't care, why are you here? it's like my mum said to my uncle jack once about voting: if you don't vote, you don't have the right to bitch about what happens after. the only silver lining is that Kami-sama's first episode is an hour long, so we still have a week to pick.
also, i might be participating in the Spirit Parade with the Anime Club this week. xD

so the video yearbook came to anime club today, god knows why. after all the fumbling and chatter we had pissed away half an hour, so we only got to watch Kami-sama no Memo-chou. :\

Trying out Chuunibyou (because KyoAni and apparently /a/ likes it, so why not) and Tonari no kaibutsukun (because /a/, again, also it has Tomatsu Haruka who is goooood).
Kaibutsu was pretty OK. It has TomaHaru in it. We'll see how it goes.

Chuunibyou I am pretty sceptic about, but hell, we'll see...

Usually a few images and a brief synopsis is enough for me. I've yet to commit to something I've actively disliked, so I'm doing pretty good I think. haha

And as someone that's watched Penguindrum, it's a difficult series to explain. The number of different twists and characters in it make it hard to make a brief synopsis without giving the entire thing away. Or it could be that my summarization skills are lacking.

OUTRAGEOUS! I just discovered that "From up on poppy hill" by Goro and Hayao Miyazaki will be presented on Italy in an only-one-day event (so called "event") on 6 november and only in selected cinemas... :(

So there are strong possibilities that I will lose it...

That is to say the italian movie distribution firm that imported it here, just consider japan anime as dead horses...

What bunch of... Why do they spend all that money for importing it? At this point it was better that they renounce buying copyrights and let us see it on pirate streaming if they do not want to promote and distribute it properly...

Raffaele, I just love that movie. Saw it this year in cinema and after the first watch I'd consider it even my favourite among the movies by Miyazakis (and that's a lot to say, really). I'm sorry to hear of the poor distribution Italy. :(

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on October 13, 2012, 05:48:10 PM
So, finally getting back to watching more anime (How many times have I said that?). Here's some thoughts on what I previously watched over the past few weeks:

- Mysterious Girlfriend X [Nazo no Kanojo X] (Episode 1)
I watched this episode mostly to test out Loly's capabilities. I didn't really care much for it; not my type of series, but I was able to verify that Loly can play it without issues, which I guess was the point to begin with.

- Slayers (Episode 1)
Ah, yes; Slayers. I came into this series late into the first season when I was over at my sister's house one day, and ended up downloading the entire series so I could finally watch it from the beginning. So far, it's one I'd suggest checking out if you have the free time; as there are a ton of episodes, along with several movies and OVA.

- Cowboy Bebop (Episode 17)
This episode revolved around Ed and Ein. Also, mushrooms. I like this episode :3

- G Gundam (Episode 34)
I still don't care much for the opening theme from this half of the season, but that aside, it was a pretty good episode
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on October 13, 2012, 11:56:09 PM
Loly is like a dream come true. i've yet to come across something that she can't play. including my most taxing video, which leads me to...

Summer Wars
i've been telling my mum about this movie since i saw it in august, and we didn't have time to watch it till tonight, when the power went out for about 3 hours. with nothing to do, i decided to put Loly's extended battery life and upgraded ram to good use, so we started watching it. when the power came back on, we kept with it, finally finishing the damn thing. it's a great movie, and anyone who's seen any of the digimon movies (american or the first 3 japanese, especially the second one) will notice several parallels with this movie, in plot, style, and several little references. the director is the same person as the digimon movies, and it seems that there were several ideas he had that he wanted to try out on the digimon movies, but never got the chance. so, teaming up with studio madhouse (the same studio as the digimon movies), he made Summer Wars. i have the file, but i'll likely pass along the torrent as the file itself is almost 4gb in size.KOI KOI!

Acchi Kocchi
FINALLY got to watch some more of this, but the power went out as i was in the middle of ep 4, and took the external (which the file was on at the time) with it. so i got cut off in the middle. despite this, and delays due to chores and cats, i had a good day watching it. it's an adorable series, so if you need something to fill your SO MOE IMA DIE quota, this should be it.

I used to mention Princess Mononoke as my favourite Miyazaki movie as well, but the last time I watched it I found myself thinking, "what did I like in this movie again?" With a bit of hindsight, I find its plot very mediocre and the characters not too interesting. I'm not sure what exactly changed, but it really felt like the movie had aged very badly.

Castle of Cagliostro was actually the first Miyazaki movie I watched. Yeaaaars ago with my brother and nephew ^^

Come to think of it, I've seen most of them with my family.... Spirited Away, Nausicaä, Kiki's Delivery Service, Castle in the Sky.... the only ones I've watched on my own are Mononoke Hime and Howl's Moving Castle.

my first Miyazaki movie was when i was in about 6th grade or so. we had just gotten cable again, and i was watching disney channel when the most enchanting movie i had ever seen came on. i ended up running out that week to suncoast (when it was still around, god i miss it) and buying my copy of Kiki's Delivery Service. ^^
Spirited Away was the next one after that (got the dvd for christmas one year), and i watched The Cat Returns when i went to visit my sister at college one time. also rented nausicca from the video rental shop, and it dazzled me. *__*

today in club we watched Sword Art Online ep 1 and Kami-sama no Memo-chou ep 2 without a hitch. we had extra time, and since i've been spamming AK recently, we watched the first half of Acchi Kocchi ep 1. they really took a shine to it, so we're gonna be watching it from here on out. ^^

also need to get the ending to SAO. it's awesome. :0

So, I just finished episode 20 of Bebop, and felt like sharing a bit of history here. As a note, there are spoilers...but given that everybody on this site has likely seen Cowboy Bebop before, I won't use the spoiler tags

When I saw the preview for this at the end of the previous episode, 2 things ran through my mind: that this was going to be a weird episode because nothing was really said in the preview, and that the laugh that played during it sounded eerily familiar. Once I started watching it, it slowly started to make sense why that laugh sounded so familiar: I've seen this episode before.

Rather, I came in half-way through it many years ago; during the showdown between Spike and Mad Pierrot; a mysterious foe who resembles the Batman villain, the Penguin. I also remember seeing a bit of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex right after, and likely changing the channel mid-way through; as I ended up thinking the events of the 2nd half of this episode of Bebop were part of the following episode of SAC. I do remember being very creeped out by that episode of Bebop; that stacked with the bit I saw of the movie (With the strangely metallic audio track that makes it sound like all the dialog was recorded in a metal room), is likely why it took me so long to finally give the series a chance.

This episode was just plain weird, and even now, still manages to creep me out, even after seeing the episode in full and now having context for the bits I remember; between the climax taking place in a closed amusement park (Something that has always been a source of nightmare fuel for me; given I once had a nightmare about being trapped in a theme park after hours, completely alone) on top of the character of Mad Pierrot in general (Creepy laugh, creepy grin, crippling fear of cats to the point he gunned down a cute cat toy (A part that stuck with me for years), and his rather disturbing death).

This episode makes me want to check out Stand Alone Complex sometime soon; now that I know the creepy bit I remember was 100% Bebop. Now if you excuse me, I think I'll watch some Slayers; after all, something more lighthearted before I go to bed seems like a good idea

Once I finish Bebop, I'm going to likely do an anime movie week. So far, I know I'm going to watch the following:
- Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (Of course)
- End of Evangellion (I think my body is ready)
- Lucky Star: The OVA (To help me recover from End of Eva)
- Pokémon: The First Movie (The original, uncut Japanese version)
- The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (Hopefully no endless recursions of time)

you're making me think that i need to watch bebop again, since i don't remember that episode.

that said, yesterday i watched Kingdom ep 1 and 2 (it's a 1-hour special), Ebiten ep 1, and Ozuma ep 1 (from the creator of Space Battleship Yamato and Galaxy Express 999! ).

Just finished Cowboy Bebop. Wow, that ending was good

So, after I watch the movie likely tomorrow, I wonder what series to watch next; since, finishing Bebop frees up a space in my current rotation (The other 3 slots filled by Slayers, G Gundam, and Digimon Adventure 01)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

Post by: Nichi on October 29, 2012, 05:21:39 PM
Just finished Buttobi CPU. That was certainly an interesting choice for a series to watch right after Cowboy Bebop ^_^;;;

That series is rather lulzy, as Kari put it. I loved every minute of it xD

EDIT: Watched the first episode of "I My Me! Strawberry Eggs" during my short-lived anime sampler night (Intended on watching more, but technical difficulties).

So far...not quite sure if I want to finish it. Keeping spoilers to a minimum, the idea is interesting, and the main character is an attractive trap, but the school principle just pisses me off as a character; she reminds me way too much of my incredibly sexist 5th grade Sunday school teacher, and it's unlikely this character will be killed off, so I'm not 100% sure if I want to continue to watch it.

@nej: and you said that you didn't care about any of the series this season. -w-

@pent: sucks that you only got to watch one. as for I My Me!, i know it pisses ya off, but i get the feeling it might piss most men off. it's an anime, and he wouldn't be doing a trap without that plot detail. one bitchy character shouldn't make you give up on the series. after all, if that were true, you would have given up on Dr. Who, too. :3

FINISHED AI YORI AOSHI. WAS BOTH SMITTEN AND DISAPPOINTED. UP TO EPISODE 9 OF AI YORI AOSHI ~ENISHI~. THANK GOD THERE'S A SECOND SEASON.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on October 30, 2012, 08:14:22 PM
@Kari: True. I might still finish it, but it'll likely wait until much later.
Also, wut? I don't remember a bitchy character in Doctor Who, unless you meant Melanie Bush; who was just a useless damsel in distress more than anything :\

So, I watched more anime today; having a much more successful run of sampling series:

- Softenni
I remember seeing Kari post pics from this last year, and wanted to see it after that. So far, this series got quite a few laughs from me; I might just make this the next series I watch :3

- Megas XLR
It's not anime, but it's worth mentioning anyway. I've never seen this show in proper order; just a random episode many years ago. Not much to say, except this series is quite good so far. I'll likely continue watching it after I finish G Gundam; which I have about 12 episodes left.

- Urusei Yatsura
The series is an enjoyable kind of weird; the line from the ending theme that goes "let's put weird and weird together, and make it even weirder!" seems like an accurate description of the series, from this first episode and a few random clips I stumbled onto on YouTube a while back. I like this one so far, though given how many episodes there are of it, I might not tackle it right away; it being more of a series I watch occasionally when I feel like it.

@nej: see? it's not a total wash. ^^

@pent: @softenni: yaaaay, softenni. this series was so fun. there was quite a bit of censoring, but it didn't make it any less fun, so if you need something for a laugh (when your mum is out of the room, given the ecchi nature of the series >>; ), go for eet.

@megas: errgh, i remember this show fondly but vaguely. someday i'll get around to watching it. but it kicked ass, and it seems like it'd be right up your alley.

@urusei yatsura: this is the type of series where you're better off watching it one season at a time. they're divided up into about 24 episodes each, so they're manageable. you DO have all of season 10, right? ^^;

up to episode 10 in Ai Yori Aoshi ~Enishi~

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on October 31, 2012, 09:30:18 PM
So, Lucky Star OVA. You can definitely tell the region 1 DVD release was very much a budget release; the menus lack animation or music, which really makes it feel kind of cheap. Also, it's only in English with subtitles, but given that the English dub of the series kind of sucked, that's more of a blessing than anything.

Like the series, it feels more like a compilation of loosely connected stories involving the daily lives of the main cast. I liked it...save for the 2nd-to-last part of it; which was a parody of nonsensical endings (Such as that of Evangelion). The bit with the hot-blooded shopkeeper right after was hilarious, and the live-action Lucky Channel segment that played during the credits was enjoyable.

Probably the best segment was the one in which Konata shows up cosplaying as Yuki Nagato; using her magic wand to help Kagami go to a ball, ala Cinderella. That part was hilarious, especially when Kagami was cosplaying as Hatsune Miku xD

Well, I have about 3 episodes left on G Gundam. Will likely finish it up later today

EDIT: Just finished it. My thoughts below
G Gundam: ShowHide
THE POWER OF LOVE CONQUERS ALL!

Yeah, it's a bit cheesy, but given how G Gundam is deliciously over-the-top, it seems fitting. It may not have been as badass as the ending to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, but that ending is just hard to top as it is. I enjoyed watching this series again...and now I have an urge to rewatch Gundam Wing; it's the next series in franchise production order, and it's also the first Gundam series I watched. I still have my Wing Gundam action figure on display :3


With Cowboy Bebop, Buttobi CPU, and G Gundam finished, my lineup of what I'm watching will now consist of the following:

- Slayers (Season 1)
- Digimon Adventure 01
- Softenni
- Megas XLR

So, since I have some posters for it (Thanks, Pit ^_^), I decided to finally check out Kanon and see what this series is about (The library had volume one of it, thankfully).

So far after the first episode, it's alright. It's a bit slow, and the whole "main character has amnesia" bit is very cliché, but it's not a terrible series by any means; I'd suggest still giving it a try if you have an interest in something with a romantic plot.

@simon: i've seen the first episode of the BRS anime. it's interesting, but sort of hard to understand (in an arty way, i guess). given that the entire BRS franchise was spawned from a random Pixiv image, i'd say it makes sense.

@raffaelle: ooo, new ghibli film!? so excited now. don't spoil anything, but can you elaborate a bit? :3

recently have been watching a slew of anime. finished Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, Acchi Kocchi, and Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. the reason i burned through the 3 was to write reviews on them (along with Ai Yori Aoshi, which i finished a few months back) for my newly formed anime revew blog, Konpeito Kari Reviews. (http://kkanimereviews.blogspot.com) check it out if you get a chance, my next anime to tackle will be Tsuritama. ^^

also been watching Sukitte ii Na Yo semi-religiously, with new episodes coming out from commie every sunday. the club is also still hard at work watching Sword Art Online and Kamisama no Memochou. :3

seen Madoka Magica, Mawaru Penguindrum, Steins;Gate, or Fate/Zero? Yes, they all have a little dark side to them, some more than others, and yes, a lot of these are fairly old to avid anime watchers, but these are the most recent anime that's had an impact on me.

To buck the trend, I also recommend Hidamari (any season will do, it's short anyway), if you need something cute and mindless to unwind with :3  Same character designer as Madoka. The two series are worlds apart however. haha

Sword Art Online and Accel World are both by the same artist and both revolve around online games, so you'll get an action/fantasy/sci-fi fix with some comedy thrown in for good measure. of the two, i prefer Sword Art; it's less fanservicey and seems to have a more engrossing plot and much deeper characters going for it than its counterpart. not to say Accel World isn't good, not by any measure.
i've heard BTOOOM! centres around an online game, too.

i finished Tsuritama about a week ago, it's cute while still being sci-fi in nature. the central theme is fishing (pretty sure the title translates to "catching" or something similar), so it's a bit of a niche anime, but i found it entertaining.

if you don't mind fanservice, i also reccomend Fight Ippatsu! Juden-Chan!! . it was cute and somewhat touching, though it is REALLY ecchi. REALLY ecchi. >>;

(at this point i'm just going down the list of the stuff i have) Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko is all about aliens, Solty Rei is a great sci-fi/action with some great twists as the plot goes on, The Big O is just classic (as is Cyborg 009, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun), and Zaion - I Wish You Were Here is a sci-fi OVA series from the early 2000's. :3

today in club i didn't get to preview the anime beforehand, so we flew blind and watched episodes 8 and 9 of Sword Art Online. we then watched Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki and the first half of Acchi Kocchi episode 3. :3

i also gave out some bonus presents along with the cookie gifts to the anime club: disks containing their own distinctive anime that wouldn't otherwise be shown in club. :3
President Christa got Sekaiichi Hatsukoi (a yaoi series)
Vice President Greg got Kamen no Maid Guy (i....have no idea where to even begin on this series)
Maggie (who was absentee, Christa was going to give it to her tomorrow) got Antique Bakery (another yaoi series)
Matt got Kokoro Connect (like freaky friday, only cooler and not a lohan suckfest)
Jason got Tsuritama (cute! and aliens! and fishing!)
and Tim got Solty Rei (semi-classic sci-fi/action romp about an amnesiac girl with superpowers and the bounty hunter who takes her in).

all the disks came bundled with a .rar unloader and VLC, so hopefully they'll be able to use it this time. ^^

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha starts airing this winter. I really liked the manga, hopefully it'll be equally good.
It's about a Hero, the Demon Queen he's set to vanquish who in the very first chapter convinces him otherwise. No, not like that. Oh, also the economics of a war involving two species, and LOTS OF POLITICS.

@cockle: i know the feeling every time i'm tempted to start tracking down episodes of one piece. i never got into bleach either, but i imagine that when you truely love the series (like me with one piece), you'll go to the lengths to see it.

despite not having seen the series, i have the first 18 (?) of the manga. haven't read them yet, though. :\

we can offer advice on anime, and torrenting even moreso. name a favourite genre, i can probably list off at least 10 titles for you. -w-

also, is kirby really anime? :\

and what do you define as "earlier seasons" of digimon? it was basically my favourite show as a kid, and me and my friend mel (mel even moreso) are kinda obsessed with it. (i stopped watching after season 3, though, cause the general concensus among fans is that season 4 sucked and kinda killed it. seems the seasons after weren't bad, but no matter how much that digimon panel at last year's con raved, i'm too wary to watch. >>; )

@leafy: kai is actually a pretty good series, especially if you haven't really gotten into DBZ before. i watched DBZ a lot as a kid, and i've also watched kai. i have to say, i prefer kai, if only because they lost the four episodes' worth of HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
less filler = getting to more story. and getting to more story is always a good thing.

A certain magical Index, Fairytail, and Hellsing.

Quite perverted but an excellent story when not fillers.
Steins;gate was awesome. And I'm still working on Soul eater

Sora No Otoshimono also known as Heavens lost property.

the second line sounds familiar, maybe i should look it up. :\

loaded a bunch of anime onto GT. sadly, handbrake hates subtitles, so it's all dubbed anime until i can figure out how to get the subs to encode properly. so for now, i have Panty and Stocking 1-3 (watched 1 and 2 already), Midori Days 1-3 (halfway through 1), Cyborg 009 1-3, and Black Blood Brothers 1 & 2 (will get 3 on there later). i also have 2 random videos and some vids from this japanese learning program i have.

Watched HALF an episode of Lucky Star... literally HALF an episode. *sigh* I remember the days when I was a hardcore anime fan, but now it's hard to start watching it again.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: SleepyD on January 11, 2013, 03:21:07 PM
Really? Can't take it or something?
I guess since college took so much time away from being an otaku that I really just picked up where I left off. haha

Lucky Star wasn't all that great, relatively speaking, but I could still find it entertaining. Also... I seem to be the only one that likes HidaSketch around here, so maybe my tastes are just much more open to such vapid moe things. :3

Simonorged: Glad you liked Steins;Gate. :3
Might I recommend from Type Moon: Fate/Zero or Kara no Kyoukai? (KnK has a lot of exposition, so not for when you're sleepy)

Also, if you haven't watched Baccano!, I recommend that as well. And I rarely say this about dubs, but the Baccano! dub is superb.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 11, 2013, 09:29:01 PM
Baccano was dubbed? my friends kept trying to get me into that series a few years ago, i didn't even realize it was picked up. :0

@leafy: it's all about making the time. it was hard for me to get back into a pattern of watching it too, when i started back a couple years ago, but if you find some series you're passionate about (like Tokimeki Tonight or Sukitte Ii na Yo. or Sword Art Online for me), that'll help get you back into it, since you'll be itching to see the next one.
and somehow, i don't think Lucky Star is a good place to start. it has little plot, so it has little to hold on to. (sorry LS fans, i don't mean offense in any way ;^; )

@simon: how do you get your anime, buying or torrenting? cause i can make more accurate suggestions if you tell me. :3


watched Panty & Stocking ep 3. i want to see Cyborg next, so i'll probably watch that. -w-
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on January 11, 2013, 09:40:28 PM
@Kari: You're absolutely right on Lucky Star. While good, it's a more "casual" series (As in, the type I watch an episode or two on occasions) compared to one that keeps you coming back for more (Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Outlaw Star are good examples of shows that were like that for me :3)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 11, 2013, 09:53:45 PM
@stew: aahhh. i should watch that at some point.
@pent: thought so. it's like azumanga, AK, or nichijou, in that it was based off a yonkoma series and thus relies mostly on small jokes. though AK was very compelling to me despite not having much in terms of plot. (more than nichijou or azumanga, though, which is probably why >>; ). strangely enough, K-ON! was based off a yonkoma series too, but the plot in that seems to be fine for the most part. :\
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: SleepyD on January 11, 2013, 10:02:24 PM
I remember when I first watched Lucky Star. One forgets how much of a role Hirano Aya and KyoAni, fresh off the popularity of Haruhi, had in getting people to watch it. Combined with the fact there aren't many anime about moe female otaku (other otaku-centric anime like Genshiken and Welcome to the NHK were a little more serious about it), it had that sense of novelty to it.

hm... I think since "casual" is usually contrasted with "hardcore", I don't think it's a good term. I'd call it "episodic". To be specific, it's a slice of life anime. There is no overarcing plot. Just people living their lives (usually in amusing fashion).
Just because they're in that format, doesn't mean that it doesn't leave me wanting more. :3 I blew through Nichijou and HidaSketch in record time. haha

The best thing, I think, about the Baccano dub is they got voice actors that could pull off accents appropriate for the times it was set in. That meant that I heard voices I'd never heard before in dubbed anime. It was REFRESHING. And better still, they were damn good at it.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 12, 2013, 12:51:38 AM
cool to know. i'll have to give it a shot, then. now if only we could get the similar title BlackJack over here. :\

i'm trying to picture what an episodic anime might be like, and i'm drawing a blank. how about we call it "slow-paced" or "non-gripping" since while moments in animes like that (LS, Nichijou, AzuManga) will leave you howling with laughter (or, in my case, doing the "MY BRAIN IS FULL OF FUCK" pose), they don't exactly drag-you-out-of-your-seat-to-have-your-nose-pressed-against-the-glass like Sword Art Online does. a plot-driven anime such as that is more likely to hook a viewer in (especially a new or used [returning] viewer) than, say, Minami-ke would. it's just more pressing. :\

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 12, 2013, 08:47:13 PM
but see, i don't watch anime online unless it's a last resort. the only one i have is Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki (speaking of which, there's probably a few new episodes out now...), which isn't exactly engrossing unless you're mesmerized by the cute like i am. and even then, you have to watch 10 poyo episodes to make the rough equivalent of 1 regular anime episode. meaning that in total time, there's about 5 and a half episodes out now, despite running for over a year now. >>;

how about you provide a genre you like, and i'll reccomend based on that. (otherwise, i'm sure they have Cyborg 009 up somewhere. go watch that; it's a classic.)


(oh, actually, there IS one series i watched online because a friend got into it, so we watched it together. it was called Kaze no Stigma, and i'm pretty sure she watched it on animeultima.tv . it was a good series, but a bit 16+, so keep that in mind. :\ )

Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 14, 2013, 04:22:42 PM
pichuuuu brotherssssss ;v;

sou cyooot.

today in club we finished Kamisama no Memochou. tbh i liked the ending even if it felt a bit open. (which is to be expected, the novel series is still going.) what surprised me was that after looking it up, i figured out the entire series only covers the first novel. (well, the last arc trails a bit into the second, but that's it.) i'm also not fond of how they achieved their goals in the end. but hey, it worked, and everything turned out semi-alright, or as alright as it could.

oh, and i'd totally date major. the fourth too, but i doubt the latter would have me. xD


we also watched ep 11 of Sword Art Online, which brings me to these theories:
Spoiler: ShowHide
1. DID THEY JUST FIND SAKI'S GHOST???
2. HOLY SHIT THEY JUST FOUND SAKI'S GHOST
3. so when two people get married in SAO, does a child just suddenly appear in the world? every time? so there's a bunch of unclaimed children running around now?
4. HOW DOES HAVE BABY IN SAO
DOES ONE HAVE BABY IN SAO
WHAT DO BABY IN SAO
5. so.....married couples in SAO don't HAVE kids, they ACQUIRE them. somehow.
6. hm, this little girl can't remember who she is or who anyone she knows is. we should find her parents or something......NAH, LET'S JUST KEEP HER
7. damn that kid looks freakily like a mix of Kirito and Asuna. (and Saki's ghost.) are we SURE she wasn't spawned as  mix of their D.ataN.A. when they got married....??
8. gotta say, Asuna's a bit of a creeper....she got into bed with Kirito AND a little girl..... >__>;;;
9. this is the first time we've seen either middle aged people and kids in this show.... WHERE HAVE THEY BEEN HIDING THIS WHOLE TIME? CONVINENT PLOT DEVICE IS CONVENIENT?
10. Kirito and Asuna make really good parents.....almost too good.....have they had prior experience...?
11. damn there are a lot of parallels to .hack here. is this kid related to aura? IS SHE????? SHE'S HAVING THE SAME EFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT, AFTER ALL
12. ERMAHGERD IT'S SAKI'S GHOST


gonna watch some Panty and Stocking later, and depening on how much idle time i get at my aunt's house (we're going there for dinner), maybe some Cyborg 009. i still need to find a way to put non-dubbed anime on there.

which brings me back to Kamisama. seems it's got a dub now, lol. xD

So, just watched the first episode of Magic Knight Rayearth. Some thoughts:

- I like the theme song
- Umi is Faye Valentine o_o (They have the same voice actress in the English dub)
- It feels a bit lower budget than other anime from the era I've seen (Such as Slayers or Gundam Wing), but it adds a certain charm to it
- Oddly enough, Fuu reminds me of Fuuka Yamagishi, from Persona 3

Well, for a series from '95, it feels lower-budget than other series from the same year I've seen. That excludes Evangelion; which Gainax went so overboard that they ran out of money before they had the series finished

Watched entire season 1 of Ramna 1/2 English dub in the course of 24 hours. First time I've ever seen it... I like the whole sex change thing, makes me laugh and junk. Am I the only one who favours dubs over the original Japanese versions?
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 19, 2013, 11:37:31 AM
nah, i like the dubs sometimes. depends on the series largely, and how well the dub is done. sometimes nostalgia plays a part (or if i heard one language first it might sound better to me than the other), but not always (case in point, sailor moon dub. >>; ).

i've gotten up through P&S ep. 10. and i think i'm up to Cyborg 009 ep. 3.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on January 19, 2013, 02:09:30 PM
On dubs, it depends on the quality really. Cowboy Bebop is an example of a kickass dub, while Cardcaptor Sakura had a worse dub than I remember ^^;
Although, I just find the English version of Lucky Star to be awkward; after watching the entire series in Japanese.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: alfonso_rd_30 on January 19, 2013, 02:11:23 PM
I'm a more Sub things dude myself.... the reason is that in dubbing some of the magic gets lost, as there are in house jokes and what not that get lost in translation...

Actually I'm watching and Downloading Perrine (Dual Audio), which I remember watching with my older Sistah, Panda Z, an OVA about Nakoruru from samurai Showdon fame and have like 67  tabs on online watching sites to see raw episodes of American Cartoons (2 versions of Spider-man, The batman, Winx Club, jackie Chan adventures, Randy cuningham 9th. grade Ninja, Adventure Time, Digimon Xros wars, etc...)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: LeaflameSD on January 19, 2013, 04:31:49 PM
But honestly the dubs are not much different to the original Japanese versions, it's just the English VAing and the localization. The reason why companies like 4kids heavily americanize everything is because their target audience is kids. Come on people, stop whining and bitching about Sonic X and Pokemon, be happy that you get something that you understand. In fact, we need more dubs in the west.

*exhales* It really makes me mad that more people can't appreciate dubbing alot more.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: alfonso_rd_30 on January 19, 2013, 04:57:44 PM
I won't complain on some Dubs (Perrine for example, I only remember it dubbed... I liked the VA in JCa, and despite the intro, Saint Seiya had a nice set of VA, as did the lovely Rayearth)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 19, 2013, 08:36:42 PM
why are you watching Winx Club.......at least you have Jackie Chan Adventures up there. that one i approve of. -w-

as for subs vs dubs, it's an age-old debate that no one wins. personally, i think that both should be checked out if one is willing. for example, with Panty and Stocking, there are different jokes for each version, meaning that you get twice the laughs. :3

i will say that staying true to the original is better, though. there are some cases where it's nice to have a dub (for example, my sister's fiancee gets distracted by subtitles, meaning he can't see what's going on if he has to read them), but for the most part keeping the original format is best, imo.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: DustiiWolf on January 19, 2013, 08:49:18 PM
As For a show like Panty and Stocking, i find the dub better, being that the show has references and roots in western culture (and the animation style looks like a friggin Cartoon Network show) and uses a LOT of vulgarity that the western dub may know how to use more appropriately (as in its sorta western from the start and no offense but some things just turn out better when using English, especially with the use of cussing in the show.).

Though some shows are better subbed. And some (like lucky star) are good both ways.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 19, 2013, 09:14:08 PM
um, i'm not sure why but your remarks offend me, possibly because you don't seem to know a lot of history behind the show.

P&S was a sort of Love Letter/Prank Call by Gainax to all the western animation schools. the show features traditional anime at times (and in fact a whole half-episode is done in a sort of miyazaki's spirited away realism), but for the most part the style is in a parody of various western shows (note Chuck's resemblance to Gir from Invader Zim). it's also worth noting that P&S isn't the first show to use western vulgarity, and in fact plenty of western words have leaked out to other countries, so hearing "WAT DA FAK" elsewhere might not be too surprising.
as for references and culture roots, it has plenty of japanese roots, too; the spirited away-style episode, for example, features a lot of common things in japanese culture, such as salarymen and post-work drinking, and stocking's style of dress is a mainly japanese fashion. the majority of gothic-lolitas in other countries are also interested in anime and/or japanese culture, cementing the fashion as truly japanese.

so while P&S might have a lot of western influences, that's no reason to say that the dub is superiour or makes more sense.

You have a valid point. I expressed my opinion, and you expressed yours, along with facts as well.

But take the transformation scene for instance
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQXMkn8g50k (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQXMkn8g50k) Japanese
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msWbNfEOFlk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msWbNfEOFlk) English

The dub seems to flow a lot better, as well as have better wording (in my opinion).
Also note the Japanese version uses "garb of these Holy virgins" which those who have seen PSG know flat out is a lie. They aint no virgins. :P The dub uses "garments of these Holy delicate maidens" which is a lot better (even though delicate is pushing it). Even the part they say repent is given that extra bit (of course through language). Also notice that the jp version says "cleansed of worldly impurities, return to heaven and earth"while the dub uses "..garments of these Holy delicate maidens strike down upon you with great vengeance and furious anger, shattering your * ? ? ? * and impurity and returning you from whence you came". The dub clearly flows more easily, as well as makes more sense (Return to heaven and earth? They are ON earth, at a place between heaven and hell. And heaven? I thought they were demon monsters or whatever. Why would they go to heaven?)

Overall the show, despite having one or two episodes rooted more in japanese culture, is heavily influenced by western culture. (From parodying movie titles and scenes to including a ghostbusters PKE meter and Proton Pack) Personally, i find that the dub pulls these references and jokes off more smoothly. (from what ive seen anyways. i never watched all the subbed episodes, do to lost interest explained above. I have watched all the dubbed episodes).

I personally find shows like PSG (aka a parody soup of western culture) overall flows better with dubs. Yes i may miss a few jokes or two with dubs through being lost in translation, but with a show like PSG, it overall flows better and is easily understood with dubs.

(Please note: this post is opinionated. If you dislike opinion, do not read. In fact, maybe this should be at the top of the post.)

actually it's never really clarified where daten city is. i always thought of it as a funky purgatory. as for the transformation sequence, i hate the english version of that. maybe it's just cause i heard the japanese first, but it sounds clunky to me. and ending it with "repent, motherfucker!" is kind of stupid, imo. it makes it sound like they're playing tetris and they just piled junk on junk.

dude, you didn't even WATCH the full subbed and you're ragging on it? you sure as hell don't have the right now, how do you know they didn't make more japanese references if you didn't watch? and even if daten city ISN'T in japan, that doesn't make the sub superiour. just because Code Geass involves plenty of british people doesn't make the dub superiour to the sub. IT'S A JAPANESE SHOW. THE JAPANESE MADE IT, END OF STORY. you gonna start complaining if they make a show in the style of Modigliani and don't do the voiceover in italian??

personal opinion or not, your remarks tend to be a little biting. feel free to debate, but things wouldn't get so heated if we could all just tone it down and keep somethings to ourselves.


i was gonna watch naruto tonight, but i missed last week's episode and i need to get up early tomorrow. i feel like i'm failing Naruto and his friends. ;^;

no need to get snarky. this is why people get mad, because of backhanded comments like that. (don't be a troll.) I'm right when I say that you can't pass proper judgment on something without all of the information. you wouldn't review the godfather after watching only the first third, right? That means watching ALL the subtitled episodes, okay?

if you're just going to instigate comments by posting mean/ rude stuff like that, I'm going to leave. but don't be surprised if you don't curry favour by being so snarky. there's sharing Your opinion, which is all well and good, but getting authoritative about it by saying stuff like "x is better!!" isn't a good way to go about it.

skipped Naruto. I'll watch both episodes tomorrow.

Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 20, 2013, 05:01:16 PM
i don't consider contractions to be "lazy", i consider them to be "conversational". frankly i find people who break up contractions while speaking to be pretentious. i say contractions while speaking. i have also been known to use chatspeak both in text and in speaking. does this make me lazy? NO. IT'S CALLED SLANG. (or in the case of contractions, "contractions".) LAZY is people who write things like "hey arent u gonna meet me their" and consider that acceptable. calling that an "american" trait is an extremely rude stereotype, especially to those of us here. i can guarentee you that all of us are spelling/grammar nazis and take spelling, punctuation, and proper use of homonyms and contractions to be part of everyday speech. of course, i also consider slang to be part of my daily speech. the fact that you think of us as "lazy" because we use words that flow more naturally off the tongue speaks volumes about you. i think i'll leave a link to a paper i wrote a couple years ago, so you know full well what a "lazy american" is capable of.

now then. as i said before i don't flaunt my post count except for bragging rights. but i think the admins will forgive me on this occasion. LET'S KNOCK OFF ALL THE FUCKING GRAMMAR SPEECH AND EITHER GET BACK TO ANIME OR GET THE FUCK OUT, SO DECREED BY THE ANCIENT ONE.

You're (heh) correct.

Also - if you'll indulge my going off on a tangent here - I've noticed that "you're" and "you are" carry with them different value in speaking and writing. "You're" being used mostly in casual, day-to-day speech and "you are" being used in more formal settings. As well, the use of "you are" in casual conversation seems to carry a greater emphasis on the "are" part - just as an exercise, think about the following two sentences:

"You're going to the picnic lunch on Friday?"
Versus
"You are going to the picnic lunch on Friday?"

Which seems more like a confirmation that you're going? Which seems more  accusatory?

*Entering Gangsta Mode*

There's this 'ho Shion that helped mod this rad 'droid 'ho Kos-Mos, but then in the world there were like, 2 gangs trying to get control, y'see?

so one of the gangs sent those beasts, gnosis, to fuck up the ride where Sion and Kos-Mos were, which was done, in the end KOS-MOS ended up bein' mary magdalene and eded up saving the universe!

*exiting 'Gansta mode*

The briefest summary you'll find... BTW, The anime covers half Xenosaga 1
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: SleepyD on January 20, 2013, 05:51:09 PM
Played all three. Watched the anime. 1 was a whole ton of cut scene sequences. And yeah, the anime is... well it isn't bad, but it's not... done. It's much more concise than the game, at least.
Xenosaga II was... really convoluted/dialogue-heavy with similarly convoluted RPG battle mechanics (I got used to it, but many gave up)
Xenosaga III is what II SHOULD have been, but at this point, key staff members and such were all gone, and they had to end it prematurely. Unfortunately, people's experience with II most likely hurt III's sales.

It's a good game man. And honestly I don't know why people bother with downloading the ISOs for PS2 games when you can buy them at a steal. Also the game is Japan and Europe only.

Japan boxart:


EDIT: I also ordered 2 DVDs of Amazon, Ranma 1/2 the movie and Always My Santa.

It's the name of 2 OVAs of the manga Itsudatte My Santa!. I've never heard of it or read the manga before, and I wanted to become an *coughotakucough* real anime fan and it looked interesting so... yeah.




EDIT: Downloading Otaku No Video OVAs 1 and 2
EDIT: Downloaded Otaku No Video OVAs 1 and 2. Watching...
EDIT: Watched Otaku No Video OVA 1. Will watch OVA 2 later...
EDIT: Watched Otaku No Video OVA 2.

how did i know it was a ken akamatsu one..... >>;

also, i'm not going to say there's a right or wrong way on the path to otakudom, but you can approach it two ways from what i've seen:

1. watch everything new, especially anime filled with moe girls, panty shots, and similar story themes. >>;
2. watch the classics. and by classics i don't mean playing the hipster card the way i do by seeking out UBER-OBSCURE series from 20-30 years ago. find the good oldies and watch those. (evangelion, a few seasons of urusei yatsura [there's just no way you'll be able to conquer the whole thing right away], cowboy bebop or trigun, a season or two of sailor moon, maybe cyborg 009, etc etc. find the ones that everyone talks about as "remember that one?" )


watched naruto ep 7 and 8, so i'm caught up for 9 tonight. also watched panty and stocking ep 11 and 12, only one left (then i'm doing the review, will post a link -w- ).

EDIT: watched naruto ep 9, P&S ep 13 (about to watch the OVA). will start the review later.

damn straight.

speaking of internet anime, i'm kinda pissed over this one torrent. i load it up hours ago and it's at download speeds of 2kb/s, and now that it's 4am it's up to 175kb/s and saying it'll take an hour to finish. dammit, i wanted to watch that tomorrow with my mum, but if it can't get the job done during daylight hours then what the hell am i supposed to do. >:[

eh, at least i have the crappy youtube version i downloaded yesterday. who knew they'd have a whole 1 and a half hour movie on there, i thought there was a limit to the length of the stuff you could upload there. plus there's the miyazaki movie i borrowed from my sister's netflix, so i got something.

Mai-HiME was one of the first anime that I really got into.  This is like the "SleepyD has just discovered fansubs" era of my anime life. I was watching each episode as it aired, and damn, dem cliffhangers. I'm pretty sure the feeling would have changed if I was able to marathon it instead. The ending was blah, but what a ride it was. :D

I have not seen the first two, but my thoughts on the latter two:

Neon Genesis Evangelion:
It's a pretty good series series. It gets really weird as it goes on, to give you a fair warning, and keeping spoilers to a minimum, the ending was underwhelming. Still, it was a pretty good series, and the fight scenes are beautifully animated

Tenchi Muyo!:
I haven't seen this in forever, but I enjoyed watching it as a kid (Although the version I watched was heavily censored). It wasn't that long of a series, either; it was about 12 episodes or so from what I can remember. Still, it's a classic harem comedy that's worth giving a watch

Rosario Vampire's anime is VERY fanservicey, for the record. like, 10x what the manga is. just keep that in mind.
no idea what Cupa 2 is...
Evangelion is a CLASSIC. a little on the 16+ side, but not enough to be a problem for most people. just don't faint at the sight of blood or potentially boobs.
haven't seen Tenchi Muyo. but it's from the late 90's - early 00's, and seems to be a harem comedy, so i can draw the conclusion that it's gonna be fanservicey.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on February 04, 2013, 04:04:45 PM
I remember Tenchi Muyo being light on fanservice...but keep in mind I watched the daytime Toonami edit of it; the original uncut version is likely heavier on fanservice
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 04, 2013, 04:13:27 PM
it's late 90's. and a harem. and look at the art style. fanservice city. >>;

I liked Rosario + Vampire thought is a lot of fan service and an improvement to vampires as a whole
(btw, cupa 2 wouldn't be season 2 - dubbed Capu 2
Eva I used to see it at midnight,, so besides Shinji's state of pussy, was kinda traumatizing... and for GR genre I like Sokyuu no Fanfer better, more blood, main char is less of a pussy and it's terrifying
I saw toonami's muyo, so I won't talk about it...

i'm debating on whether to watch anime or some japanese learning stuff tomorrow morning. i'm halfway through the first season of yuru yuri and i think Utakoi, so that might be a good idea, but learning japanese was my new year's resolution and it's already february. i think it's time. >>;;

for now though, i should figure out why these youtube videos i downloaded won't go on my iphone. :\

Watched Tenchi Muyo! OVAs 3-6. Loving it. Apparently I'm a 'pervert' because some people saw a few scenes of nudity... also yesterday I was looking for some anime pillows on Google and naughty jargon came up and same thing... grr.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 08, 2013, 02:02:09 PM
in your defense, not all anime pillows are hentai-style. i have a one piece throw pillow at home, and another one in the shape of Kuroneko-sama's (the black cat from Trigun) head. ^^
i wouldn't mind a body pillow of some of my favourite anime characters, though. dat Sebastian one looked pretty damn sweet. .////.

nudity =/= perversion. we're all naked in the shower, right, so are we all perverts?


watched BBB ep 2, and the first episode of Let's Learn Japanese!

wekll with Nanami back in top (cow) shape I'm back to Downloading Anime... First Target is The Misadventures of Perrine (Which my Older Sister and I loved to watch as kids Way before Both Caritele and the whore's fiasco...) which means it predates Saint seiya, which means is, literally  Prehistoric Anime, next I think I'll download Rayearth or Utena
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 10, 2013, 04:45:04 PM
rodney has a good torrent of Rayearth, maybe he can hook you up. as for prehistoric stuff, the oldest stuff i have dates to 1982, i believe. -w-

watched ep 11 of naruto over breakfast this morning. my sister is getting on my case about returning the dvd, too, so later on me and mum are gonna watch Castle in the Sky.
i also need to preview the episodes of SAO for club tomorrow. FINALLY i'll be able to resolve the angst from the past couple episodes, it's been plaguing my mind all week but i've resisted temptation to spoil it. >>;

Yuru Yuri
Black Blood Brothers (english)
Cyborg 009 (english)
Midori Days (english)
Sword Art Online (watching tomorrow)

any suggestions on which i should pick? i'm leaning towards either BBB or Midori Days since that means i can draw while i watch, and i'll be closer to finishing them. :\

SAO ep 16 and 17. god that guy is such a creeper i want to fucking puke.

wondering what to watch now. maybe yuru yuri.

Gosh, they really cut the corners on the animation quality on this one. Granted, it's a pretty filler/transport sequence/action-light episode, but what the heck. Consistency where?

That's surprising.
Just a year or so before OreImo, Toradora! was the high-school anime people praised. It's a romance story with rather interesting characters, I have to say. Can't really say much more than that.

Le Chavalier d'Eon... well, let me just say this:
Paranormal historical fiction, mercury(the element) zombies, crossdressing, necrophilia, and 18th century France.

And let me add sister complex and 18th century Russia to that list. haha

Chevalier is pretty serious all the time, and there's a lot of talk. I guess the atmosphere is similar to gunslinger girl, but... you know, with guns and lolis replaced by swords and well-defined jawlines (women included). XD; It took a little while to get used to the art style, but it was all good after a couple episodes. Lots of intrigue and political dealings, accented by short and sweet sword (and zombie?) battles.

Toradora was back in late 2008. I had been torrenting since 2005 thereabouts, so I was already in deep.
And yes, that is Kugimiya Rie as the lead female, so if you're tired of her voice, you may want to shelve it until you're ready. That said, she's not really a tsundere character here (many would argue otherwise, actually), but she certainly does have moments. But at least she's not stuttering the entire time trying to speak some words in place of excessive violence.

So far, I find it rather heartwarming. So if you feel like hitting up a high school romance anime, I do recommend it. The characters are well fleshed out and turn out to be rather complex, despite outward appearances.

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: SleepyD on February 14, 2013, 12:49:18 PM
AKA Tsunde-Rie = Shana (...Shana), Louise (Zero no Tsukaima), Alphonse Elric (FMA), Sanzenin Nagi (Hayate), Kujikawa Rise(Persona 4)
Among many many others. She's been typecasted as a tsundere character, but she has shown she can do other roles.

Yeah, KugiRie is so typecast it grates on me every time i fucking see that shit...

Especially when it's obvious she's damn good at other stuff. Alphonse Elric is probably one of the better voiced characters in all of anime afaik, and that is in BOTH versions of the anime. No consistency problems there.

yeah, I recognize that people find her tsundere voice (which is certainly employed here) rather annoying, so I had to preface my recommendation of Toradora with that warning. If you get pissed off at hearing that voice, well, it'd be hard to enjoy the series despite how well it's done.
I keep my consumption of Tsunde-Rie (regular Rie is okay) anime rather light. I don't watch many series with that particular voice in close proximity to each other. Which is partially why it's taken me so long to watch Toradora. But it's also why that voice never really did get to the point of annoying. It's like super sweet or fatty foods. Everything in moderation, and you'll be fine. haha

BBB is an action-filled vampire drama. before you start thinking twilight KILL THOSE THOUGHTS RIGHT THERE. it's actually quite tragic, though i've never seen it through to the end so idk all the details. plus, vampire on vampire action! >:3

Midori Days was based off a Seinen Manga (aimed at guys 18 - 30's; filled to the brim with ecchi most of the time...) of the same name.....so yeah. hell, the entire scenario SCREAMS "i have the mind of a 12-year-old" considering the entire plot is that this scary-yet-noble teenage dude sans girlfriend wakes up with a cute girl as his right hand. and she loves him. i'm not shitting you. but, i already watched it once and i want a refresher course for the review blog, so i'm slogging through it. it's cute, but if you watch it prepare to laugh at absurdity and facepalm a lot. :\ (2/5)

NGE Ep.2. Kinda hard to follow the subtitles but from what I can understand,
Spoiler: ShowHide
Shinji pilots the EVA-001 unit, and has problems facing the Angel Sachiel. The Angel damages EVA-001 (Or Shinji) enough to knock him backwards and make the Evangelion unit bleed(?) Turns out this was just a nightmare, so Shinji wakes up, and looks outta the window. He then meets Rei Ayanami who is in a devastating condition. After that, I think Shinji and Misato meets up with Shinji's father. Theeeennnn.... um... Shinji moves in with Katsuragi. Theeeen, her house is in fucked up condition. After they eat, then Shinji has a shower, then sees this penguin thing. After that... Misato has a shower while Shinji stays in his room, then Misato comes in after she has a shower, and commends Ikari on handling the Angel. After me thinks another dream happens where Shinji battles Sachiel again this time whooping his ass.


Is that... is that a logical synopsis?

Sort of

Evangelion ep2: ShowHide
The "dreams" are things that did actually happen; just that Shinji blacks out and wakes up in a hospital, which is why there's such a jarring cut between the scenes

Thanks!

NGE episodes 3, 4 and 5

EDIT: And 6.
ANOTHER EDIT: And 7.


So in 7, Misato tries to push these things into the Angel to save Tokyo 3, she was a weird reaction to drinking sake in the morning, and Shinji helps Misato get into the angel by holding it down huh? Hmm...
...also Misato is hot.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 17, 2013, 08:15:21 PM
which one's misato again, shinji's guardian? yeah, she's pretty. i like her necklace, too. though my favourite character would be Makinami Mari. Ayanami Rei is pretty hot, too.

NGE Ep.8 - Asuka Strikes!

Spoiler: ShowHide
So Shinji, Misato and the other two fly to this base, and they meet pilot of EVA-002 Asuka. EVA-002 turns out to be a prototype and is rare, and the color of it is red. Also deemed the true evangelion. Shinji and Asuka change into red suits and have to combat a sea-type Angel, Lots of UN Planes are being destroyed and falling below to Tokyo. Basically to destroy the angel,EVA-002 has to open the mouth of the Angel, using an external power source, and they have to fill it up with UN aircraft and then fire ammunition at it. After they destroy it, Shinji, Asuka, Misato and the other 2 boys go back to Tokyo 3. They meet Ritsuko on the way, Misato gives Ritsuko some information, and... Asuka starts school where Shinji goes!

Also 9 preview says: Asuka and Shinji are going to be trained together. And there is going to be fan-service too! :)


I think I've got the right idea of what went on.

I haven't even seen Rebuild beyond a 3-minute clip. Granted, I've only seen the original series; I don't have much of a desire to watch End of Evangelion since I know a bit of how it ends and frankly it's a bit too weird for me :\

I remember some woman with purple hair talking to this man and then they drove away to this kinda crib. Can anyone think about what it's called?

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 19, 2013, 11:00:04 AM
Eiken only got a 2-episode OVA adaptation, so i doubt that was it.

slayers might be a good match in this case. i also found an anime character database, which yielded these results.
http://www.anime-planet.com/characters/all?gender_id=2&hair_color_id=16&include_tags=none&exclude_tags=none

since you can't remember any other identifying traits, it's a pretty long list. Hare + Guu is at the top of the list, whose character might fit the bill. (really good series, btw.)

this thursday is the library anime club and we are watching some kind of ghibli movie. better get torrenting~~

ghost in the shell isn't exactly PG, from what i've seen.

some good titles for you might be
Cowboy Bebop
Dantalian no Shouka
Tasogara Otome x Amnesia (though this is a bit more PG-13)
Black Blood Brothers
Another (PG-13 to -16)
BTOOOM! (haven't seen it but it seems darkish)
Busou Shinki (?)
Chrome Shelled Regios
Gunslinger Girl (as well as its second season, Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino)
Omishi Magical Theater - Risky Safety (it looks cutesy but the one moment i watched on youtube was rather dark)
Sankarea (darkish; PG-13; i've only watched the OVA Prequel)
The Big O
Trigun

yes it is, I have the full anime video set.
Mushi-shi is a visual masterpiece, and each episode is unique.
They don't continue where they left off, more like they flow from story to story.
Each episode is like a individual movie.

Mushi-shi could be labeled paranormal or spiritual, and I'd say they both fit.
It can get a little creepy at times, but nothing to the point where it's horror.

I have a few of the others mentioned above.

Currently following

Sasami-san
Tamako Market
Vividred Operation -- I watch it for the plot I swear

Oreshura -- every episode makes you cringe
Psychopass
Haganai
Inferno Cop

Wednesday evenings and Thursdays are magical.

Post by: Nichi on March 13, 2013, 01:45:43 PM
Indeed. Well...

Final episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion: ShowHide
...it threw me for a loop how the plot resolved itself so quickly. I mean, the stuff before the resolution was kind of weird, but the gist of it all was Shinji actually growing as a person...and all his friends appear out of nowhere to congratulate him.

Still, it wasn't as confusing as everyone made it out to be. By the way, look up "Shinji's Rant" on YouTube if you get a chance; it's a special feature from the DVD of the English dub, that has Shinji's voice actor ranting about the show's ending over the credits, doing so completely in-character xD

@bella: most of these were on recent anime lists. Haganai's full title is Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai (I Have Few Friends), and Sasami's is Sasami-san @Ganbaranai (Sasami-san @No Effort/Energy). poke around the past seasons and you'll find them.

@leaf: good for you. but i have a hard time believing that you understand it. :3

@balrith: i have a couple of those either in my backlog of series or on my list of things to torrent. the torrenting world is so convenient. now if only i could get mine to work again. :\


watched Yuru Yuri ep 10 and 11. gonna start ep 12 so i can finish the first season and review it.

Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, ep10

Man. This anime. This fucking anime is. So. Good.
;W;

At the first episode I was a bit skeptical, since I knew there had been manga adaptations that took things in the wrong direction - skipping the serious parts for fanservice and shit - but none of my fears have come to pass. Rather, that subplot has been dealt with VERY well indeed, and the rest of it all goes hand in hand with it.

And to think: this is all without using a single character with a name. No character in the story has a personal name of his own - it's all just titles. Demon King. Hero. Magician. Female Knight. Merchant. Winter King, Ashen King, Dragon Princess, et cetera.

I am honestly impressed to my bones with this anime. This is what I keep track of this media for.

Anyone who hasn't watched it yet should honestly get around to it right now. It is without a doubt the best series of this season - possibly of the last entire year.

BBB ep 7 and 8. gonna try to finish the series tonight. also finished Strawberry Eggs, unsatisfying ending is unsatisfying. also caught up on Naruto and Soul eater for the new episodes tonight.

Post by: LeaflameSD on March 19, 2013, 03:39:42 AM
Sometimes I watch dubs, sometimes I watch subs.
If I find a new anime to watch, I'll probably watch it subbed or dubbed when available.
But I like dubs better because they're speaking in my native tongue ^z^
I don't mind subs though.

So in other words, I just felt like watching the original Japanese version.

Oh and that reminds me, I began Teekyuu Ep.1 and watched Midori Days Ep.2

What's Sugar Sugar Rune about?

So, I decided to do another Anime Sampler Night...completely disregarding all the shows I've left hanging to try out some new stuff, while sharing my thoughts after a single episode

- Sword Art Online
After seeing Kari gush about this series, plus the fact it looked kickass from the trailer, I decided to finally try it. It's definitely giving me a .hack vibe, which is a good thing IMO. I think this one's going to work its way into a more regular rotation; I need to know what happens next *w*

- Saki
All I knew about this anime beforehand was that it's about mahjong, and has and a girl who loves tacos as one of the main characters (Which, I love tacos as well -w-). Now, I know it's all that with a side serving of yuri >:3
I think quite a few people here might like this one. I know I like it so far, and have an urge to hug Yuuki and give her tacos >w<
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on March 22, 2013, 09:32:41 AM
saki has yuri undertones? guess i missed that, i should move it to higher on the list.

oh yeah, and i need to write a review for sword art. maybe tomorrow after the open house. ^^;

One of these things is not like the other... haha
Apart from learning what the tiles look like, knowing mahjong solitaire won't help. Compare solitaire and poker. They both use the same set of cards, but they're both completely different games. Same here, just tiles instead of cards.
(although it plays more like gin rummy than poker, but has the popularity that poker does here in the states)

Saki is only about 20-something episodes. I don't see how that's long, especially when compared to Jump series. It's not 13-eps short, but it's only the next level up.

Anime... dubs? yeah, good luck with that. Most subbers choose to sub and encode the original Japanese language. And more people are comfortable in that legal gray area as opposed to blatant piracy of US domestic goods.

I guess. Dual-audio torrents are easier to find, maybe if I look on bakabt or some jargon like that I'll find dubbed+subbed torrents.

stop eet
that series is basically nothing but porn, without being all about porn.

@sleepy: i'd like to get into mahjong, but the first episode of saki had my head spinning with all the terminology. there's no real transition into the game in that series. of course, there wasn't much introduction to koi koi in Summer Wars, but that one's easier to pick up. Saki isn't with Mahjong what Chihayafuru is with Karuta.

Saki isn't with Mahjong what Chihayafuru is with Karuta.
I had no idea how to play mahjong when I started watching Saki either; however, it's not that hard to get the basic concept that:  1) everyone draws a tile from the pool every turn 2) people discard a tile after the draw 3) they declare a win when a winning hand is built.

What a winning hand is and exceptions to the basic rules mentioned above can be easily explained later.

I think Saki did a very good job in keeping the anime entertaining even though I did not know a lick of mahjong other than the fact the relatives of my grandparents' generation often played it (and a different version at that).

It's because of watching Saki that I ended up learning how to play Japanese mahjong. If there's enough interest, I'd be willing to start a learners' thread on the topic.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on March 25, 2013, 12:11:54 PM
i'm interested, but i think we'll need at least 3 to get a thread going. as for saki, i had to pause and go back to read all the subs, so while the basic concepts are easy to grasp, they don't stick to the basic concepts. only thing i learned from the first episode is that +/- 0 is INSANELY hard to get.

gonna do a few reviews today, will post links later~

All the vocabulary stuff I think can best be ignored for now. Some subbers were very liberal with their use of translation notes and it got very confusing. Other subbers used chinese or english names for the hands instead of the japanese names, which also got confusing.

Most of the words are
a) declared actions a player makes: "pon/chi/kan/riichi/ron/tsumo"
b) a state a player's hand is in: "furiten/iishanten/tenpai"
or c) names of specific hands/tile combinations one can have that is worth some number of points.
There are a great many names in "(c)", and if you just liken them to poker hands, you can get through them fairly easily. You can learn the details of these hands later through increased exposure.

And yes intentionally getting +/-0 OR ANY specific weighted score at the end of a match is insanely difficult to do consistently. Near impossible, in fact. A lot of the things they do are near-impossible, which is part of the appeal of Saki. :3

what other mahjong series are there? :0
One of them is Akagi, which has a very... unique. artstyle.  It's more a yakuza/mafia sort of anime, and they get more into the nitty gritty details of strategy (and cheating) but it is very interesting. Requires more of a knowledge of Japanese mahjong going in though. But basically the main character is just damn good. haha

The other one that comes to mind is Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku's anime version, Legend of Koizumi, which is VERY short, and you can watch it on youtube. Even less mahjong knowledge required than Saki, since everyone wins all the time with special hands. (Think winning with royal flushes and 4-of-a-kind aces EVERY TIME in a poker game)
Oh, the best part? They're all real life political leaders. Delegating. Through mahjong.

It used to be on youtube for the longest time until Bandai took it down. There's only 3 eps, all less than 10 minutes, so you can get through it quick.

I do recommend the manga if you want to see the story in more detail. Especially involving the leaders shown at the end of this short series.

please take note that these two were made for DAICON III and DAICONIV in Osaka (1981 and 83 respectively). they were made by fans, guys who would later go on to form Studio GAINAX. -w-

Acchi Kocchi Ep.8
Are Sakaki and Mayoi brother/sister?
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on April 05, 2013, 08:59:21 PM
no, but they seem like it, don't they? (i made the joke last week that "and 10 years from now, they are a couple." xD) the only one who is confirmed to have a sibling in the series is Sakaki, whose older sister runs Hatch Potch.

@nej: worth my time, attention, effort to torrent it? worth my hard drive space? worth looking at at all?

Yeah, Twilight was the only one that really stood out to me, honestly. Now, if they'd cast KugiRie as Rarity...

They also totally inverted the joke with Twilight's hair, because apparently rarity now lacks style sense? IDK.

Doujin Work Ep.3
Acchi Kocchi Ep.9

FUCK! I'm running out of downloading space on BakaBT, and my internet isn't fast enough to seed.
It's a shame because BakaBT had the best torrents, but oh well.

log yourself out of there and don't log back in. the system will stop recognizing that you're you, thus, unlimited downloading.
sure, it means you can't use their search engine anymore, but if you put "[insert anime here] torrent bakabt" into google, you should be able to find whatever it is you're looking for. though bear in mind if a series is licensed here in the states it won't be on bakabt. :\

So, currently watching WORKING!! and rewatching the original Fullmetal Alchemist for the first time in nearly 10 years (I last saw it in its entirety in '05 or so). Enjoying both

EDIT: Up to episode 6 on both, for the curious

niiiice. -w-

@leaf: np, i used to have an account there but i didn't see eye to eye with their insane policies. "10 seeds or under is critical" pssh, yeah right, when you get the entire series of UY on 3 seeds, THEN you can tell me what's 'critical'. i don't even seed anything if it's over 5 seeds already. >>;

so an anime i thought i had lost just appeared in the last place i would look: IN ANOTHER ANIME FOLDER. somehow joshiraku had planted itself inside Ikoku Meiro no Croisee's folder, weirdly enough. :\
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: LeaflameSD on April 10, 2013, 06:50:24 PM
I was gonna torrent Joshiraku.
I AM going to torrent Joshiraku.

So I watched Acchi Kocchi Ep.10. Miniwa makes me happy
Doujin Work Ep.4. I really like the theme song.

BakaBT had good torrents. But their seed thing is just ridiculous.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on April 10, 2013, 06:57:17 PM
TokyoToshokan actually has a problem with outdated and discarded index entries sometimes, unfortunately, so it's not perfect for older series. Nyaa.eu is a better choice if you're looking for something slightly more dated (say, pre-2010).
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on April 10, 2013, 09:02:14 PM
indeed, most of the stuff i would look for on there would be seedless, since i was always late to the party. so nyaa fills my needs better. >>;

@leaf: i got mine from gg, but idk how well seeded it is now since Joshiraku came out, like, a year ago. :\

It was a surprisingly fanservice-free hot springs episode; probably the tamest one I've ever seen

Also, I'm now up to episode 20 on Fullmetal Alchemist. This is the episode I originally came in on when I started watching it in '05; I knew of the basics of the plot going in, thanks to X-Play's reviews of the game, so it wasn't terribly hard to get into the series even if I did miss some crucial bits that a brief synopsis didn't go over

Sign was pretty good. I never saw all of it, though; I had to read a synopsis of the episodes I missed, due to Netflix not having the 5th disc :\

Just finished episode 25 of FMA
Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) - Episode 25: ShowHide
I can't be the only person who nearly cried during Hughes' funeral scene. Even when I knew it was coming, I still nearly cried; mostly because of his daughter ;_;

Also, I forgot how the episode ends without credits or a preview of the next episode; it just cuts to black after Ed finishes the slice of pie he was eating

That is odd. Kino No Tabi is semi-obscure AND somewhat old (2003/4 or something like that?) so I'm surprised you have a request for merch. I'm gonna make that same request though (as long as it's inexpensive enough for a gift / me to reimburse you for). ;u;

I figure any official merch would be super rare / expensive, but on the off chance you find any affordable fan-items (buttons/badges, keychains, etc.) consider picking something up.

Also, keep an eye out for anything cheap and Madoka Magica-related. Or cheap and MLP-related. (I have the Applejack badge you bought for me last year proudly displayed on my bag~!) ^^

I (re)watched Kino's Journey ep. 6 today. It's funny because people kept calling her a boy / mister, which I didn't really think was odd in the original Japanese but is hilarious in the dub because of DAT VOICE.

Also watched Bodacious Space Pirates ep. 4, it was okay but ALL THOSE PINK INTERIORS AND NEON HAIR COLORS AND PASTEL TRACK SUITS made my eyes bleed a little. WHY. WHY PINK INTERIORS. WHY TRACK SUITS?

i read a review on it, seems they considered translating the title correctly, but knew they're run into a lot more problems if they did, so they translated the title as a pun on the original (if i remember right the original title would come out as a "bo" sound when in romaji). :\

either way the whole premise of the series sounds PAINFUL to me. >>;

Just finished episode 45 of FMA. I think I should track down a different torrent of the English dub to replace this episode; as it feels like it was copied from a worn-out VHS tape of Adult Swim's broadcast of it; with video stuttering and severe audio syncing issues by the end. I hope the next episode is more like episode 44 in terms of quality (A little fuzzy, but plays back perfectly), or better yet, episodes 1 through 43 (DVD quality)

Just finished the original Fullmetal Alchemist.

Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) - Final Episode: ShowHide
Way back in 2006, when I finished watching this episode after Adult Swim aired it, I honestly felt it was a solid conclusion to the series; it wrapped up everything nicely, but left the door open for a possible continuation (Much like Outlaw Star; the major conflict is over, but the protagonists set out on new adventures). Several years later, I can say that it's not perfect, but I still feel it brings a solid conclusion to the series

I mean, Ed did get Al's body back; which in the process left him stranded on the other side of the gate (In our world, circa WWII), as both of them are now trying to find a way to be reunited. While some might see it as a terrible ending because of Ed and Al being separated, I personally felt it was a bittersweet ending that fits in with the themes of the show; after all, nothing ever works out quite as expected, even with equivalent exchange.

However, the ending is less than perfect. There are still some questions left hanging; like what Wrath is up to after getting automail, where Gluttony went after eating Dante, or where Russel and Fletcher went. Still, it's not a bad ending in my eyes; at least they didn't end it by having everyone appear out of nowhere congratulating Ed ^^;


I plan on watching the first movie (Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala) tomorrow. Then, after some time to get other series out of the way, I'll start on Brotherhood
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: SleepyD on April 24, 2013, 04:16:21 PM
finished YuruYuri. I think I might start watching Precure only in the mornings, if only to give me that nostalgic feeling of watching kids shows early in the morning. (I used to regularly wake up at 6:30 in the morning when I was little, what kind of madness is that?)

Should finish Saki: Achiga-hen, since I don't think the subber that was subbing my copy is doing anything anymore, and I've lost my patience. So that trumps my OCD tendency to stick to one subber for a series.

Just finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamrock Shake

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shambala: ShowHide
When I first saw this back in '06 or so, roughly half a year after I finished the original series, I honestly didn't like it; I found it confusing as fuck and served little purpose to the plot. Watching it again several years later, right after finishing the original series, I must say it's not quite as bad as I remember it, but it's still quite flawed.

As a story, it works well enough; it does build off of what was established in the previous series, even if some elements felt ridiculous (The plot revolving around Nazis trying to break into Ed's homeworld is still strange to me). It does supply a solid ending in itself; with Ed and Al reunited, although now separated from their friends on the other side of the gate. Ed might not have his arm and leg back, still having Automail, but Al is alive again and back to normal; which makes their journey feel complete.

One of my problems with it was how it didn't really answer any of the lingering questions of the original series. Like, we see Wrath again, but nothing is said about what he was up to, and also, Gluttony returns out of nowhere as this very grotesque monster, without an explanation as to how he became like this. So, in the end I'm still left wondering what the hell happened with them.

Secondly, and the critical flaw of the entire movie in my eyes, was how it simply didn't feel like a Fullmetal Alchemist movie until the final act. It felt like I was watching a completely unrelated story that happened to star Edward Elric, with occasional scenes that show things going on back in his homeworld, until the last 30 minutes or so; when Ed's back home and kicking ass alongside Al and Mustang.

Still, it was enjoyable, but very flawed. Not really a favorite of mine, to be honest.


Now, to get some other series out of the way (Likely Rayearth, or maybe Megas XLR), and then start on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood; to see how well it stacks up.

follow-up notes: ShowHide
you have to remember dude, it's a MOVIE. self-contained plots are the point, after all, if it connected to the main plot it'd either be a retelling movie (evangelion rebuild movies?) or an OVA (though honestly, most OVAs aren't connected either). while i can't defend the plot holes involving the homunculi, but one thing i CAN say is that since it was based around the original FMA anime, that might explain a lot, as the original anime had to do for a good chunk of its later plot what Tokimeki Tonight did for its anime's ending: invent it. (for both series) the manga was still going, so when the anime went past the point of being current, the director had to come up with something to fill in the blanks. the same thing happened with the later seasons of Sailor Moon, actually, since Takeuchi-sama only intended the series to go one season but was egged on for more by publishers and the like, so the manga and anime ended up paralleling each other at times (the only difference is, she was involved with the production of the anime, where as FMA's was not).

also, the Nazis DID have a large (albeit secret) interest in the Occult, going so far as to assign people to study it to see if it can be used as a weapon in the war. other things the Nazis researched include space travel, time travel (i think), and nuclear warheads. the idea of parallel universes has been used before. just look at Dr. Who. :3


@sleepy: eh heh, sorry, but i just can't bring myself to like it. it seemed cute at first but any series that has gotten 7+ seasons without at least TRYING to be original as opposed to just glazing over it with a new coat of paint doesn't sit well with me. maybe, like pokemon, the early seasons were passable (and even alright), but  it's gone on much too long. :\

watched Nichibros ep 1 and Hen Zemi ep 4-7 (currently in the middle of 8). HZ isn't as bad as i first gave it credit for; while there are episodes that make me squirm uncomfortably, there are others which aren't as bad (and are actually pretty nice). i still don't know what to rate this series, but now instead of "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I'M SO CONFUSED HOLD MEEEE" i see it now as more of a shock-value hit-or-miss humour type. :\

Well PreCure is first and foremost a little girls' anime. It's played in the morning, unlike most anime that's played on subscription channels at 2am.

Also, being a little girls' anime, I think it's closer to what magical girl shows used to be like. This concept is what got me interested in the first place. I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed Nanoha, but that's magical girls through a decidedly older male perspective. So I wanted to know what their "source" was.

Also, I do appreciate the simple dialogue and subtitles during the theme songs that let me read along. haha (YAY kids shows helping me learn the moonrunes)

And like power rangers/super sentai shows, each season is standalone and does not require any knowledge of the prior seasons to watch. (Except in the brief cameo or crossover stuff they may cook up) So there's no real impetus for me to watch the older Precure seasons. Although I hear Heartcatch is supposedly good. haha

But, to each their own. Actually, I have to say, it's much easier for me to watch PreCure in the morning. It has that weekday morning cartoon nostalgic effect on me. I can't stand watching it later in the day. haha


also Nichibros is damn awesome. I wish my all-boys high school life was that funny. haha

Post by: Chocofreak13 on April 26, 2013, 09:11:55 PM
i think the club might like nichibros if only because it's like, 8 shorts packed into one episode.

hearing that makes me understand precure a bit more, it's the equivalent of saturday morning cartoons for japanese kids. with that, i now respect it. but i don't think i can watch it; i need plot with my anime these days in order to enjoy it. wish i could have caught it when plot took a backseat to cartoon violence :3

(i think my pallette might be a little bit richer if only because "saturday morning cartoons" for me was stuff like Digimon and Mew Mew Power, which may have been boppy and fun but had more plot than a "monster-of-the-week" show. ^^; )


EDIT: what do i do about this...

I saw Sekirei season one a while ago, I should really get back and watch season two.  That basic 'fanservice heavy but fun' assessment is accurate, I feel.

What's it about?

I'm still watching Bodacious (Miniskirt????) Space Pirates, Kino No Tabi and now I'm continuing Steins;Gate ... it's getting pretty freakin' awesome if you ask me.

Though I'm pausing at Episode 6 to let Stew catch up 'cause we agreed to watch it together (if anyone else would like to join us now would be a good time [ie, I'm not very far into the series]). -w-

I might eventually try that series :3
Also, considering tracking down Banner of the Stars; which I faintly remember watching ages ago, and reading about it on TV Tropes has me interested again

First order of business is likely finish the first season of Megas XLR, and then start on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

What's it about?

a twice-failure at the college entrance exams is plodding back to his apartment after getting his second time results, when a girl falls out of the sky and lands on him. after coming to and finding her panties in his face, two girls in skimpy rubber costumes fly down and throw lightning at the pair. the girl grabs his hand and runs off, only pausing when they get to a riverbank. eventually he takes her home, and after a fateful smooch it is revealed that she is a Sekirei, a humanoid creature with some mystic-ass powers destined to fight the other 107 Sekirei in the city for her Ashikabi (the guy) till she is the victor, to grant a wish or some BS like that. there's a lot of boobs and panty shots. there's also a lot of property damage and laughs to be had. :0


i'm up to ep 7 of Nichibros. we have also selected two new series for the end of club, Nichibros and Big O. we got through the first episode today, and will watch more in 2 weeks (the teacher has a doctor's appointment next monday).

Not really. While I can survive on a roughly 4GB drive consisting solely of a barebones setup of Linux, a handful of programs I need, and all my absolute most important files (My stories, documents, and photos from my camera), it's a rather boring setup. It's nice having nearly 1TB worth of anime, a bunch of assorted games, and a collection of assorted OS ISOs including some beta versions of Windows 95, to name a few things

almost done with the second OVA of Hen Zemi, which will finish out the series. oddly enough, the OVAs came out before the anime and yet their animation quality is better (and their content harder....probably because they're limited edition disks only packaged with special editions of manga volumes 4 and 5). they're longer, too, so it's like Hen Zemi: The Movie. :\

Post by: Pitkin on May 03, 2013, 05:50:43 AM
City Hunter anime had several seasons around the end of the 80s and the start of the 90s. It's based on the manga of the same name - completely stripped of the plot, though - and revolves around the professional gunman Ryo Saeba in Tokyo. The humour is very lowbrow, as the main character is a pathological pervert and harrasses his female clientele.

Typical plot for an episode would go as follows: a woman needs a bodyguard, Ryo takes the job, bad guys appear, Ryo beats them away, harrasses the woman, beats the bad guys away again, this time also eliminating their boss, episode ends with Ryo having his head pummeled by a 100t hammer of his assistant, Kaori Makimura. Not exactly representing my values, but bizarrely I find myself liking Ryo's and Kaori's characters. Also, the non-existence of a decent plot makes it good for watching while eating, as missing a line or a detail isn't serious.

As a final remark, I love the opening and ending songs. Ai yo kienaide, the opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdMLMPesMrc), has been one of my favourite opening songs for years.

a boy called Yuto Amakawa, who's parents have died in a car crash.
He has a strage amulet to remember them by.
His childhood friend Rinko has always taken care of him.
Then on his 16 birthday he meets Himari


So far it's pretty good. If you like lots of fanservice and junk then this is for you.

*wooh!* So I finished Maico 2010 today.

Just finished episode 6 of Rayearth, and episode 6 of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Some things I noticed on them:
Magic Knight Rayearth - Episode 6: ShowHide
In this episode, our heroines receive their weapons...which are noticeably different from what they receive in the Sega Saturn game. All 3 have swords in the anime, while in the game, they just have upgraded versions of the weapons they borrowed; so while Hikaru still has a longsword, Umi has a rapier and Fuu has a bow and arrow.

To me it makes more sense to have varied weapons; so you have one with ranged attacks, one with fast close-range attacks, and one with powerful close-range attacks. It's just a minor note; still enjoying it, although I find it strange for all of them to have the same weapon.


Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode 6: ShowHide
Given how I'm still in that awkward "just the important parts of the first 20 episodes of the original 2003 series in half the time" part of Brotherhood, this episode was a 2-for-1 package; cramming together episodes 14 and 17 of the previous series into a single package. From a production standpoint, I can understand them wanting to rush through what the original series already went over, to get to the new material, but from a story perspective it moves a bit too fast; never really giving time for anything to build up.

One thing that was jarring was the change in Winry's personality; how she wasn't a tsundere in this series. It's honestly like she was an entirely different character who fills the same role, so it'll be interesting to see how she acts later into the series.

I'm getting close to where the two series branch off; which I estimate to be roughly at episode 10

Just finished episode 10 of FMA Brotherhood

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood - Episode 10: ShowHide
So, this is it; the episode where Maes Hughes is murdered. Far from an episode I was looking forward to; since he is a favorite character of mine. Part of me was uneasy about this version; given how, so far, one of my main issues with Brotherhood has been its tendency to skim over things from the '03 series without giving it time to really build any weight or suspense, plus the fact it uses chibi scenes twice as often as Magic Knight Rayearth (While it works for some parts, like in an earlier episode when Ed has a comical grin on his face when he is officially given the codename "Fullmetal", there are other points where it really clashes with the mood; like the sudden chibi scene when Ed's automail breaks while inside Laboratory 5). So, part of me went in expecting this episode to piss me off.

However, it was handled with dignity. His death actually felt like it had more weight to it than the '03 series did; as they actually expanded upon the scene with his final stand and, given the symbolism of his blood spilling over the picture he carried of him and his family, made the scene have more of an emotional impact, followed up with the funeral scene topping off all the feels.

Just, wow.


For anyone interested, I also watched episode 8 of Magic Knight Rayearth. To be lite on spoilers, let's just say I saw what this episode was going to do from a mile away, yet it still managed to be enjoyable and also somewhat emotional. I say somewhat, because coming into it after that episode of FMA makes it seem a bit weak by comparison, but taken as it is, it's still sad.

Did you see the epic hissy-fit that one of the Hanada team members spewed in this comment thread? (http://hadena-subs.com/anime-2/2011_fall/kyoukai-senjou-no-horizon/horizon-05/#comments) A few choice excerpts:

Quote from: ImakoYou're a fucking little ungrateful faggot and I hope you choke. Go through that entire huge-ass wall of text I posted up top and read through it all again. Our subs aren't perfect. I freely admit that we make a lot of mistakes and we are not perfect people. But we deal with more stress and go to more lengths with each and every episode that we release than you have in your entire piddling life. I mean, seriously? What's the hardest thing you had to do, take a shit while constipated?

QuoteYou have truly transcended. You have put yourself above even God through the power of sheer stupidity alone. Gather 'round, everybody. Witness the birth of the messiah of stupid. This is, like, quantum singularity stupid. A kind of stupid that is so amazingly massive that it engulfs surrounding good ideas like a black hole. Tell me, how do you even live with yourself? Or more importantly, how do you manage to breathe on your own? I'm honestly thinking of switching my major to psychology because I want to fathom how people like you operate.

QuoteIn the space of like two weeks editing for Hadena, you fucking people have managed to leech away and destroy every single ounce of the goodness in my heart. I tip over old ladies in wheelchairs and kick puppies across the street for fun. I hope you assholes are proud of yourselves. No wonder Hadena's staff seems "bigheaded." It's not a personality fault, it's a coping mechanism.

QuoteI know you're unaware of this because the orderlies only let you out of the retard room for suppertime, but people just have to deal with what they have. See: your pathetically-sized lump of aberrant cerebral tissue that some wise-ass doctor dared to call a "brain."

SOMEBODY'S jimmies have be eternally rustled.

So, up to episode 12 of Digimon. Episode 11 happened to be the one my mom flipped out over when I watched it as a kid; details in the spoiler tag.

Digimon Adventure 01 - Episode 11: ShowHide
Ah yes; the Bakemon episode. Although mom thought Pokémon was the single most moronic thing to ever grace the airwaves since Jabberjaw Scooby-Doo with a talking shark ended, she did think a bit more highly of Digimon in the regard that at least the monsters were capable of speech greater than "Pika-pika, Pikachu", although she felt it was still kind of cheesy.

Then came episode 11; titled The Dancing Digimon (Or, if you're going by the Japanese titles, The Dancing Ghosts! Bakemon). The episode was fine...until a part right at the very end; when Joe used a practice of mind-over-matter to help weaken the army of Bakemon so Ikkakumon and Birdramon could defeat them. Mom took this as "evil satanic ritual" and forbid me from ever watching the series again...for about 2 weeks, at least; when she let me continue watching it (Right as Angemon makes his debut). I did rewatch the episode about 10 years later, out of curiosity, and found myself laughing over the whole thing; how mom got so worked up over something like that, yet there were references to witchcraft in some Looney Tunes cartoons and that was somehow ok (That being something Brad Jones poked fun at when looking at a video from a minister; talking about the "evils" of shows like He-Man and My Little Pony "My Pony").

Now, a few years after that, I watch it once again in the uncut Japanese version. The "mind over matter" practice was originally a Buddhist prayer in the Japanese version, which I already know mom would have gone even more crazy over...even if references to other religions in the Indiana Jones films were perfectly fine. I love pointing out how much of a hypocrite she is -w-

As for the episode itself, it was alright. There isn't much that stands out to me beyond that one scene, and that's just because of mom; if she never objected to it the way she did, I likely would have forgotten all about this episode.

Yuyushiki REALLY doesn't pull any punches, does it.

I mean, it's not like anything overly spectacular happens at all; it's just that the dialogue is so completely and REALISTICALLY left-field that you're bloody astonished, comedy aside. It sounds like weird conversations by real people, not anime characters - which is probably where the charm comes from, here.

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Bella on June 02, 2013, 01:25:00 AM
I just (re)watched the final three episodes of Kino's Journey. 

Not gonna lie, I forgot some of the important plot points in episodes 12 and 13. I mean, I remembered most of the plot  ......... just not the WHAM moments for some reason, I guess 15-year-old me blocked them out her memory. At any rate .... *screams while slowing sinking into pool of FEELS*

Now for a little (major spoiler-free) musing ......

This is not really related to the above comments, but re-watching this series with the knowledge I now have about feminism and gender (which is quite modest, but still MUCH more than I knew 5-6 years ago) made it a really different experience. I am completely amazed at just how egalitarian the treatment of male and female characters are, which is something I hadn't really thought about when I watched it the first time. Just looking at the minor female characters, there was a high-level scientist, an engineer / inventor (who defied her boyfriend, king/leader and an entire city-state in pursuit of her dreams), accomplished travelers, a marksman, an assassin, a revolutionary and two genocidal maniacs in cahoots. None of those characters were strongly gendered, either -  that is to say, they could have been portrayed as men without changing anything about their personalities, really (and for what it's worth, the same can be said for many of the male characters as well). The utter absence of fanservice or sexualization and diversity of body types and ages was refreshing too. Although, what it lacked in sexism it more than made up for in violence, cruelty and general THIS IS MAKING MY SOUL HURT-ness, but non of the violence or horror felt gratuitous and was firmly related to the storyline, which is also good.

Kino's Journey is essentially a philosophical tale and touches on different aspects of human nature, which makes it all the more interesting to me that the lead character is more-or-less androgynous in appearance and personality - neither man nor woman, simply A Human. That being said, she's generally addressed with female pronouns so most of the characters seem to know what's up. (Although on the one occasion that she was assumed to be a boy, I don't recall her correcting the mistake.) Adding to the intrigue is the fact that she was depicted as being quite feminine as a child, which makes me wonder what happened to make her adopt her androgynous persona. (Personally, I've always assumed it was a way of cutting ties with her past or as an homage to the person who inspired her journeys, though I'm also fond of the theory that she did it in order to be more impartial, so to speak, when observing different lands, customs and cultures in her travels.) As well, there's the matter of her apparent romantic-disinterest and the seeming incredulity with which she reacted to being told that she'll "know how it feels one day, when she has a baby of of her own" - surely, anyone who knows my own personal feelings about sexuality and gender can see why I find her such a fascinating and inspirational character!

The ending is somewhat weak, but considering the highly-episodic nature of the series - as well as the fact that it feels (in story AND art) more like a grown-up book of fairytales, rather than some great, sprawling epic - I think it managed the rather abrupt ending quite well and as satisfyingly as it could have in a 13-episode format (well, 14 if you count the bonus). Honestly, I'm a fan of shorter series but this is one of those shows I really wish could've gone on longer.

10/10 would recommend

I should've been more clear. I meant the video has all the bgm and sfx but no voices at all. There are translated subs for what the seiyuus will say though. It's a fan creation so I guess it'll take a bit longer.

Subs with original voice acting are usually superior to dubs, with notable exceptions like DBZ. TFS DBZ abridged is my headcanon.

Post by: LeaflameSD on June 04, 2013, 01:45:49 AM
I guess you're right, but I don't see why some people out there can't just acknowledge that anime can be good in both languages and move on.

Also... DOES Mari have a sexy British accent?
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on June 04, 2013, 09:23:41 AM
Indeed. While some are better in Japanese (Lucky Star comes to mind), others have fantastic English dubs (Cowboy Bebop)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Simonorged on June 04, 2013, 01:00:10 PM
I usually prefer my anime to be in Japanese, though you're right, some are better in English, I mean on the case of Moonphase I liked the English voices better.

I'm gonna watch Humanity Has Declined because I like pretty things at it looks quirky and unique too.  (⌒▽⌒)☆


I just finished watching episode 1 of Girls Und Panzer because it's playing on demand and why the hell not?

-I blame Sora No Woto for making Moe Girls With Tanks a sub-genre.
-Why is competitive tank-piloting a thing in this story universe? (Or maybe I should why ISN'T it a thing in OUR universe because that would be awesome?)
-Why are tanks considered so elegant and feminine in this story? I'm torn between feminist outrage @the whole TANKS WILL MAKE YOU A BETTER WIFE AND MOTHER thing and being impressed that driving hulking metal death machines is considered a pursuit suitable for girls. I'm really not sure if society has regressed or if it's super-progressed.
-What's the deal with that Student Council girl with a HALF A PAIR OF GLASSES?
-WHY ARE THEY ON AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER WHAT EVEN IS GOING ON?

Also, I just started watching Mawaru Penguindrum EPISODE 20, because the stupid on-demand service decided to start airing it 3/4 THROUGH THE SERIES.

I've wanted to give Mawaru Penguindrum a watch for awhile because I keep hearing that it's smart and philosophical, but it looks soooo weiiiiiird and it's long too so I wasn't even sure if it's worth my diskspace to download it and check it out. I literally have no idea what's going on, does it involve some sort of plot to destroy humanity so the penguins can take over? Is this in fact Penguin Evangelion?

>"There's a trick to massaging pickles"

Is this in fact HOMOEROTIC Penguin Evangelion?

I-I didn't even know you'd reviewed that series until I saw this post! ;0;

I ended up combing through your blog archives to find it, it was one of your first posts which makes it all the more perplexing to me since I remember you announcing opening the blog and checking out your first posts there. Granted, it WAS posted on November 28, which was the day I had a bunch of teeth taken out, so I think I may've read it while high out of my mind and forgot all about it. (Which seems about right, since I can remember *most* of what I did that day but damned if I can remember any of the details) ><

So, I'm thinking of watching an anime movie during my vacation. Here's some I'm considering:

- Rebuild of Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone
- FLCL (Well, it's an OVA, but it's short enough to count)
- The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (Will need to download first)

So, what one should I go with?
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: stewartsage on June 17, 2013, 05:30:13 PM
FLCL.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Bella on June 17, 2013, 08:02:52 PM
I'm gonna say FLCL or Rebuild 1.11 because I've seen and enjoyed both of them. I guess it depends on whether you're in the mood for something dramatic and action-y or upbeat and surreal.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on June 17, 2013, 08:35:34 PM
my votes are for 1.11 (because you've watched the original series) or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Hosoda is an amazing director and underrated. i had been wanting to see that movie myself.

finished Utakoi and Aoi Hana. i've already reviewed the former (it's up on the blog) and plan to write a review of the latter tonight, to be released tomorrow. also watching Don Dracula, a (sadly) failed Tezuka series from 1982. i think i'ma review either Muromi-san or Sasami-san next.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on June 17, 2013, 09:11:33 PM
I'll gather some more feedback, but I'll likely start with FLCL and then move onto Eva and Girl Who Leapt Through Time over the course of my expanded weekend :3

@Kari and Pent: Interesting, I didn't know either of those things! I have no idea what went on behind the scenes with Nadia, but i'm gonna look it up. It must've been awful if it inspired Evangelion's .... Evangelion-ness. o.o

the power went out. watched the first 10 minutes of Yumekui Merry (Dream Eater Merry), then switched gears so mum had something to watch too, and we watched the first episode of Joshiraku and Princess Jellyfish.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on June 26, 2013, 12:56:14 PM
By "Evangelion-y", I mean how odd it got toward the end; like, the whole thing with the last 2 episodes of the original series being considered to take place in Shinji's mind, and other such things that still make more sense than the second half of End of Evangelion. It's rumored that problems behind the scenes of Nadia contributed to this, but it's mostly declining budget, a risk of Gainax going completely bankrupt, and the head writer of the series suffering from depression at the time.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on June 26, 2013, 08:52:51 PM

TROPE AVERTED), which is fun as hell...and secondly Love Lab (a comedy about...well, middle school girl A who is the hyper-talented Student Council president, but ENTIRELY clueless about anything involving romance and quite prone to getting things TOTALLY wrong and overdoing shit in general; and girl B who is a pretty rebellious and boyish character, and understands how boys think due to spending too much time in their friend zone; she is now to guide Girl A in their "love research" somehow).

Easy for you to say, I watched (part of) it when I was like 15. SCARRED 4 LIFE. ;_______;

I'm glad you didn't loose all your series. Considering how long it takes to torrent stuff it might be a good idea to invest in a backup drive just so you don't loose anything again. :/

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on October 06, 2013, 03:16:32 PM
So, since the subject of Pokémon movies came up in RPT, I decided to share my thoughts on each one I've seen (And can remember enough about) here:

Mewtwo Strikes Back: I Think I'm A Clone Now:
I admit, I loved the series as a kid; even if I rarely got to watch it because WGN aired it Sunday mornings, and dad ruled the TV on Sunday mornings before church and felt Pokémon was the stupidest thing of all time (Nevermind he came from the generation that gave is the spiritual predecessor to Disney/Pixar's Cars: Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4KuxEcW2vM). Yes, that is very much real). I wanted to see it in theaters to badly, since they were also giving away promotional TCG cards when you saw it, but sadly, I had to wait for the VHS release (Which netted me a cool Mewtwo card, so hey).

I recently downloaded the uncut version with Japanese subtitles, although I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet. I did watch the old 4Kids dub of it a few years back, and while Pikachu's Vacation was less cute and more "oh Mew this is so stupid it hurts make it stop" when rewatching it, the main feature of Mewtwo Strikes Back is still a great movie...even if the phoned-in 4Kids moral of "fighting is bad and wrong" makes zero sense for a franchise all about fighting.

The Power of One: Lugia Is In This One:
I honestly hate this movie. The plot was dull, the moral made even less sense than last time (Collecting monsters is bad...in a franchise about collecting monsters. This is like a Cheech & Chong movie telling you to not do drugs; it makes no sense whatsoever), and the mixing of CG and traditional animation, while it worked quite well in the original (Given the surreal nature of the castle thing Mewtwo brought them to), here it just simply didn't work at all and looked terrible (Ash and friends running down the side of this giant CG flying fortress thing).

Spell of the Unown: Rebuild of Pokévangelion 3.33:
As That Dude in the Suede pointed out in his collaborative review of the film series with Linkara and JewWario, this one just got everything amazingly right; it was just a better story all around, as it didn't have Ash thrust into the role of "the chosen one" or anything, but instead he was on a quest to rescue his mom from supernatural forces. Plus, this is one of those rare times 4Kids didn't cut anything major from the Japanese version; the only big edit was moving a post-credits scene to occur during the film's climax, which strengthened the story IMO.

Also, Gainax had a small hand in the production of this movie; as one can see from how well produced the fight scenes are. All of my yes *w*

4Edver: People Call Me Elf Monster:
I barely remember this movie. I know I've seen it, I know it's the reason the GS Ball story arc was scrapped, and I remember the revealing of who Sammy grows up to become, but I barely remember anything else about it...but I do remember more of it than I do of Pokémon Heroes. Maybe I should watch it again sometime.

Temple of the Sea: [Insert witty subtitle here]:
This is probably my favorite of the Advance Generation films; I haven't seen any other theatrical film after this one, I don't really remember Jirachi Wish Maker, and I despise Destiny Deoxys. I initially had no interest in seeing it after Deoxys left a bad taste in my mouth, but I caught a bit of it when it premiered, as the TV in the area I was sitting at Mazio's Pizza was set to Cartoon Network. I actually liked what I saw of it, so when it came on again the next day and I was at home, I watched it.

Although not near as good as the first or third, it was still a very enjoyable movie.

Legend of Thunder: Adventure of Jimmy Edward and Marina Eggie:
Not a theatrical movie, but an OVA released to promote Pokémon Crystal...that was never dubbed into English until well after Pokémon Emerald came out. Glad to see they have Slowpoke managing the dub xD

This is a glorious moment in the history of the franchise: No Ash. Instead, we follow Jimmy and Marina; whom are based very very loosely on Gold and Crystal, from the manga (As in, aside from appearance, they are nothing alike). It was honestly an enjoyable OVA; it's a shame they never brought it over here until years after the game it was promoting was released, but I guess 4Kids felt that nobody would be interested in an Ash-free movie.

Other movies:
I've heard good things about the movie with Lucario, and wouldn't mind checking it out eventually; as it is the last one to feature May. Also, although I don't care much for Dawn, I feel a strong urge to watch the movie with Giratina motherfucka~; since that is my favorite of the legendaries introduced in the 4th generation (In fact, I recently obtained a shiny event version of it).

Also, I do intend on downloading the Origins OVA soon; since that's just too cool to ignore.

I've spent quite some time on the pokemovies. Here, have my opinions:

1/Mewtwo: OG as fuck.
2/Lugia pls: Was good when I saw it as a kid. Now...meh tier.
3/Doge pls: Doge pls. Got borang quickly.
4/Ever: RETRO POKÉBALL SAM YO. Some gimmicks made it pretty cool, but it was pretty shoddily executed. Had potential to be more.
5/Lazy hats: Generic shit #1 Nooooooooooooooo plssssssssssss
6/Jrch: Generic shit #2 Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
7/A wild deoxys appears: Actually watchable, but still a bit generic. Better than some.
8/BEST MOVE: YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED POKÈMOVIE IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED LUCARIO REEL WATCH NAO
9/May you are not the mother: DIE IN A DITCH
10/All the legendaries everywhere: This one was too heavy. And more of the usual generic mysteryshit zigplot that's practically standard these days. PLS DIALGA GO.
11/Giratina and Shaymin aren't bros at all: Shaymin being a bitching asshole made this one worth. ASH ABUSE IS GOOD PLOT, CALLING IT NOW
12/Arceus is a faggot: No.
13/Zrroraoroarrrrr: Generic shit #3 pls go
14/HORRIBLEST MARKETING STRATEGY: I KNOW, LET'S MAKE OUR MOVIE IN ONE VERSION FOR EACH OF THE GAME VERSIONS WE SELL SO WE CAN MAKE MORE MONEY ON OUR GENERIC SHIT #4. GODS KILL THIS SHIT WITH FIRE.
15/ASH GRAB MY TAIL: Actual funny parts in this one because AQUAJETSHENANIGANS.jpg. Keldeo derpist but still enjoyable, though slightly generic.
16/MEWTWO HAX VS BUG ARMY: I haven't watched it yet. Pls bluray

@mashtur: i hate shaymin forever i mean really why is that little shit a legendary it's barely a hedgehog and then it digivolves into a damn dog pokemon are you seriously fucking kidding me

@pent: legend of thunder was an OVA? they premiered it as the first 2-3 episodes of Pokemon Chronicles, my favourite pokemon series. (favourite because LO AND BEHOLD ASH WASN'T IN IT ONCE)

@genpop: while we're on the topic of pokemon, what do you guys think of the Coma Theory? Alex is into it when it comes to Ash; basically, it entails that when Ash stole Misty's bike, that crash he got into resulted in head trauma. all the adventures he's had over the years are figments of his Comatose brain. sorta explains the lack of a plot. :\
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on October 06, 2013, 09:06:38 PM
@Kari: Yeah. It was an OVA in Japan, that became the first 3 episodes of Pokémon Chronicles -w-
(I'd love to get a box set of that series, but leave it to 4Kids to decide to only release the weak-ass finale, Pikachu's Winter Vacation, on DVD; ignoring the rest of the series >_>; )

Also, that theory sounds vaguely familiar. I think it might be more interesting if, instead of a coma, this was instead some Silent Hill \ Jacob's Ladder type thing where Ash really died there, and the entire series is his soul refusing to accept his death; as he goes through the same things over and over in a futile attempt to succeed in becoming a Pokémon Master, but at the grand finale of the series whenever that comes, he finally accepts his fate and passes onto the other side.
(Which is actually similar to a fan theory on why FF8's plot went ape after disc 1)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on October 06, 2013, 09:12:07 PM
i should mention that to alex. he might like that.

EDIT: you know guys, i thought of this when i was watching the series, but considering how young Yune (from Ikoku Meiro no Croisee) is, she likely would have survived into WWII. i wonder which side she'd support? and we can only hope she wasn't home during that time (she hails from Nagasaki). :\

Outbreak Company ep2

I was darn right in staying up to catch this series' next episode. On paper it looked a fair deal like just LOL RANDOM MOEBLOBS EVERYWHERE, but now I can safely tell it's not the least so. If anything, it's playing the game straight and serious - and dismantling a great deal of the standard moeblob hairdingery on the way. Try transplanting japanese culture to a greatly class-segregated, more or less totalitarian state where 80% of the population is illiterate...basically the plot of this series, and while the initial hand we were dealt seemed to be showing some dangers in falling into the common moeblob harem pitfalls, the rules of the game are definitely not what we're used to seeing here. Well played so far, and I'm definitely keeping track of this one further.

Post by: Nichi on October 20, 2013, 04:20:27 PM
So, I watched an episode of the English dub of Sword Art Online, and my god is the dub terrible.

This dub could have been a lot better, but it felt like they got the cheapest voice actors possible; as there are some points where they can't even keep in character properly, as you'll find moments where Kirito doesn't even sound like himself, and Asuna sounds like she's 12. When they're making the voice acting in Egoraptor's Girlchan in Paradise (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WebAnimation/GirlchanInParadise) (A parody of poorly-dubbed generic shonen anime) look amazing by comparison, there's something wrong.

It's a shame Funimation didn't snatch this one up; it could have been so much more, but as it stands, I'm sticking with the sub.

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on October 21, 2013, 10:12:17 AM

srsly though, SAOL never really got my attention. To paraphrase a debate on why Log Horizon (which deals with similar themes - 30000 players suddenly caught inside game world etc) is a much better show: SAOL's main character is a RANDOM UNIQUE PLOTDEVICE DUALWIELD HURR I CAN SOLO ALL THE DUNGEONS guy. The anime is like his fucking blog or something, and the others might as well just be NPC's in a single player game. Meanwhile, LH actually manages to be like an MMO in many ways SAOL does not; and besides, the main character is a dedicated support character. He is virtually useless without his teammates.

Oh, and the lack of badly done haremcheese romance plot. But hey.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on October 21, 2013, 03:59:58 PM
fair enough. in the same way, .hack looks at the other side of the spectrum: in //SIGN, we have a main character who is so self-defeating that he basically fades into the background on plenty of things. while he still maintains focus, Tsukasa is sort of the opposite of a traditional main character: whereas Kite in the later series stepped up, took charge, and saved the day, Tsukasa would prefer to just hide.
it makes for an interesting perspective if you watch all three in succession, along with playing the .hack quartet. if i ever do a term paper for an english class i'm totally doing that. :0

i feel like watching anime but i'm not sure what. :\
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on October 21, 2013, 07:17:42 PM
TBH I thought Nej was talking about a different series entirely when he said SAOL (I was processing it as "Soul" and not "SAO")

Also, while Kirito may seem like a Marty Stu in how powerful he is, he feels much more human that the main character of .hack//GU; who is a very bland, uninteresting character that feels like a the star of a generic shonen anime, rather than the star of something bearing the ".hack" name. SAO is still a favorite of mine from what I've seen, excluding the shitty English dub; I'd rank it somewhere around .hack//Legend of the Twilight as far as "favorites" go.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on October 21, 2013, 07:51:46 PM
He is overpowered, has ZOMG UNIQUE POWERS and the entire plot - nay, the world - of the series revolves around him. I don't see how much more Stu you can get.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on October 21, 2013, 07:55:37 PM
But he actually shows a wider range of emotion than the main character of .hack//GU; which the extent of his character is "GRR ARR KILL EVERYTHING" and "WAH WAH I AM SHINJI CLONE" after he loses his powers
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on October 21, 2013, 08:27:14 PM

@nej: not that it seems like you watched the series, but other characters have unique powers as well. it's called a plot device.

guys, i suggest we either end this now or move it to HBT, since i can feel my temper rising and i don't want to start a screaming match. >>;

Ye, I know. It's just annoying that they have unique powers at all, when it's supposed to be set in an MMO, where supposedly anyone can get anything...

@nej:
Spoiler: ShowHide
first of all, PENT DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO SPOIL ALLLLL THE THIIIIINGS

second, if it's any consolation, the second half of SAO deals with a different game that plays more like a typical MMO. Kirito is still the main character, but he doesn't have much in terms of powers and has to rely on teammates A LOT. Agil is actually the one who gets him into that game with some surprising news. not spoiling any more in case pent made the mistake of reading this.

you may criticize Kirito for being a bit Marty Stu, but i find him refreshing if only for the fact that he breaks out of the milktoast "hey, that guy is just like me!" protags that plague most anime these days, because they want the viewer to be able to insert himself into the story by creating the most bland protag they can. though tbh most of the new series i watched a few months ago were probably harem anime or close to it (sadly), so that may be why. :\

I don't like to make judgements after only one episode, the first episode managed to impress me, which is something that rarely happens. I mean, it's from the creators of Gurren Lagann (that alone should convince you it's worth at least a look), and it very much shows, IMO - the post-apocalyptic setting, absurdly determined protagonist, a totalitarian power structure being challenged, the heaps and heaps of GAR and machismo and weird, silly shit. (That's not even getting into the visual style, which is striking and fun to watch.) Arguably, the over-the-top masculinity of TTGL has been replaced by over-the-top-femininity, owing the female protagonist and female main antagonist; some people are complaining that it goes too heavy on fanservice, but there's a strong case to be made that it's parodying the ways young women are objectified, not condoning it.

I'm genuinely curious to see where it'll go.

@K: You should really try on some of the new series for this season, honestly. Log Horizon and Outbreak Company are both ones that I really urge you all to try out. Kill La Kill is, of course, without saying an obligatory must-watch :)

(Akatsuki compels you to try LH)
Speaking of which, let's break down 2 new ones as well:
Tokyo Ravens. Interesting plot, but also quite a lot interesting mechanics. Characters are quite nice. Also DEEPANDBLOODYOUTOFNOWHERELOL. Not, I suppose, for the faint of heart; though I suppose it's not as bad in that regard as Strike The Blood, lol.

Secondly...Galilei Donna.
Let me sum it all up in three words:
GOLDFISH AIRSHIP MECHA

(pictured: the AI pilot thingy)

I'd like to think that's more due to the rotoscoping than anything else. In the animu, Mei looks a little different.

I just marathoned Kokoro Connect in one sitting. Well, minus break for shopping and such, at least.

It was good. So good that I don't regret passing it up when it aired, because I'd have been so mad at all the cliffhangers that I'd probably have dropped it. I call, sincerely, WORTH.

Really recommend you watch it - 17 episodes long, all BD subs. :)

This is fucking silly. I just marathoned Kokoro Connect 3 DAYS AGO, and now here I am again. Saw a new episode of Outbreak was out on TT, so set it on download, didn't feel like watching the new Kill la Kill episode I had home while waiting so I put on the first ep of Connect...and promptly dashed through the first three like water.

THIS SERIES IS SO FUCKING GOOD. Like honestly. I can scarcely point out a single fucking error in the writing, acting or execution of the story. It's a damn outright masterpiece is what it is, and it sort of scares me.

I find Jerry Seinfeld one of the unfunniest things.  Not living things, not comedians: things.  Except for that commercial with Bill Gates he did.

My problem with Joshiraku is that it's one of those series where I feel I'd understand things better if I actually was Japanese.  There are times when it really sucks me in and I legitimately forget what they were talking about along with them, which feels like the point of the show, but those moments are rare.  Sadly episode three was the one that clicked the most with me but I just can't see myself sitting through nine more episodes when there are things like Mawaru Penguindrum and C3 to watch.

Just watched Outbreak ep8. Once again - after last week's mostly humorous turns - we here get an old and frequently abused plotline that, for once, is done just right. This series does not cease to exceed my expectations by any means - and in this day and age that means a lot. I'm fairly close to declaring this AOTY right here on the spot, really - I just have to see it to the end to make sure it's really worthy of that title.

In either case, it's been an absolutely great ride so far.

Then I will inform you of what to do, because I'm a good guy:

1: Download Log Horizon. ALL of it.
2: Put Log Horizon (ALL of it) in a playlist on your video player of choice. Which is MPC-HC, FYI.
3: Pause the first episode after a while, when your ears are met with an awesome guitar riff. Put on your shades.
4: DATABASE DATABASE WOW WOW
5: Watch the rest of the first episode. Repeat step 4 as necessary with every new episode.
6: Akatsuki a cute.

THAT IS ALL

Downloading 9 episodes.
By the time I finish writing this message it will most likely all be done. At that time, I will begin watching it.

I will give this anime a try. Judging by your affection for it, I shall not be disappointed.

Edit: I have completed my survey of this anime and found it of exceptional quality. I will monitor further progress!

I find Jerry Seinfeld one of the unfunniest things.  Not living things, not comedians: things.  Except for that commercial with Bill Gates he did.

That ad isn't funny it's a crime against humanity.

QuoteI just can't see myself sitting through nine more episodes when there are things like Mawaru Penguindrum and C3 to watch.

Mawaru Penguindrum is also a crime against humanity.

Okay, maybe I exaggerate since I've only seen like 3 episodes in the middle of the season, but it came off as DRAMA! PLOTTING! INTRIGUE! FATE! OUR FATE IS THE FATEIEST FATE THAT WILL CHANGE OUR FATE! DESTINY! nOTHING HERE MAKES SENSE AT ALLLLLL

Well, it was actually pretty funny for the first half. Descended towards ep10 or so, though, and after that it just got way too trippy and weird and serious and everything at once to be taken seriously OR be funny. It had promise, but fucked up.

I watched to something like 18 (out of 26 or so) before giving up.

It's a spaceship slice of life sci-fi comedy, unique to be sure.

I just find it funny it has names like miniskirt pirates and bodacious pirates and it has 0 fanservice and carries itself proudly.

Watching SLAYERS again...because I can.

Gotta say though, that while the animation isn't quite what I'm used to, the writing is really, really good. Something like, it's from before the time when tropes became bad memes, so it still treats them straight; much like Outbreak Company this year, except it's not retro pandering but the real original deal. It's like - you appreciate how genre savvy the characters are, because the series is from before genre blindness became the norm.

Really refreshing, I say.

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on December 30, 2013, 09:15:47 PM
Started watching ToLove-RU Darkness on a whim because /a/ was raving about it. And...holy shit. It's actually fucking good. Not just "good for a haremshit anime", but objectively genuinely GOOD.

Now I've watched the original 2 TLR series, which were pretty silly ecchi harem comedy things, and read some of the mango they're based off. Now the thing with TLR is pretty interesting: The mangaka, Yabuki Kentarou, actually was sued by his divorced wife because one of the original main characters was reportedly based off her or something, and he was forced to cancel the original series and give it a short, cut-off inconclusive ending, much to the chagrin of fucking everyone general. So then Darkness was started off as a sequel/reboot or whatever, starting off somewhere halfway in (idk how much of the later mango stuff it retcons, but I'm fairly certain the anime is safe) and turning the heat back on.
Except here's the twist:
"THE TWIST": ShowHide
Originally Rito just started with Lala (alien princess) and Haruna (classmate and crush), and things escalated from there but he never really got romantically attached himself to anyone else than those two mains (and that's a damn feat seeing as there's a metric fuckton of girls to choose from in this series), and the series kept plodding on the good(or bad)-old-well-trodden-harem-stereotype-route, until the day it was forced to an early end.

NOW, the game is switched up. Momo, one of Lala's younger sister twins, is promoted from naughty trickster who's secretly lusting for Rito but knows she can't defeat Haruna or Lala, to the mastermind of a literal harem plan. Or as /a/ terms it: Rito King of the Universe end. One of the main plot points is that Lala (eldest daughter to the king of Deviluke/Ruler of most of the known universe) is engaged to Rito (happens in like, first episode of original TLR) and shizzle, which means Rito is slated to most likely be the next King of Deviluke / The Universe. And as Momo informs Rito upon announcing her plan, "There's nothing wrong with a king having concubines." Since this also means Momo herself (and pretty much every other grill in the show) get to sate her needs for Rito's D, she deems it as the ULTIMATE HAPPY END FOR EVERYONE and completely seriously sets things in motion. And Rito (sasuga harem mc)  doesn't have the balls to stop (or go along with) her.

From this point on, the series manages a refreshing run combining harem/ecchi/romance/slice of life stuff with a GOOD amount of plot and character development - especially for a harem series, which generally otherwise suffers unimaginably hard from a deficiency in that regard. The main reasons for this are twofold: first of all it helps a lot that the original TLR set the entire backdrop up for Darkness, and aside from some small refreshers in the first episode/first time you see a character return like "oh this is that girl and she can do this, in case you forgot", there story takes a good deal of focus. But secondly and perhaps even more important is the fact that the show openly guns for the harem ending. There's no dilly-dallying about and trying to get us to like this or that girl for the MC better: the (new) female lead is literally sailing the ship for the final harem route from the very start, because that's her only chance of getting her own claws on Rito in the end.

Of course, the show is not exactly worksafe. At all. Like, much of Kentarou's stuff is very much borderline hentai to begin with, and the quite accurate anime adaptation (Bluray of course) only adds to it. But if you compare it (and the straight way it's executed) to your average haremshit ecchi anime these days, TLR:D comes out MILES AND MILES ahead of any possible competition. When the show wants to be squeezy, it REALLY IS. When it's time for plot or other stuff, it's almost not squeezy at all! There's none of the usual "CLOG EVERYTHING UP WITH RANDOM FANSERVICE BECAUSE WE CAN, ALSO MONEY" shit you see from this genre; it usually quite clearly distinguishes between - so to speak - when to watch and fap, and when to think and listen.

pictured: the main cast. L-R: Yami, Rito, Mikan, Momo, Nana, Lala.
So if you have the time to watch/skim the original TLR series (To Love-Ru and Motto To Love-Ru and maybe some OVA's - they're both pretty damn good comedies if my memory serves me right, and not at all as H as Darkness) to get inserted into the plot and setting, I really recommend watching TLR:Darkness. Just make sure you watch it more or less alone, and with headphones. It's really not something you'd want to share with your family, if you get my drift...

At the moment there's one single-cour season of the anime out (12 eps, from 2012), along with 4 OVA episodes. The manga is still ongoing at...idk, but many chapters. 100+ iirc. Check it out!

I think the problem is that I don't really have a proper in-between mode for that sort of stuff. When I review, I'm in full on proofer/prereader/editor mode; I've mostly done that sort of stuff in direct contact/on request from the author. This is just a fanboi rant thing; I don't think I'd be able to do a proper casual review, in all honesty.

Thanks for the offer tho, minion ^-^

Norigami.

Best fucking music? MAXIMUM CHECKED.

Feels like Bakemonogatari all over again. I'm in loevs <3

Also watched Nobunagun and ImoCho. Both of which were...not bad.

Kind of weird to see two shows with almost the exact same premise on the same season, though. Nobunagun and Nobunaga the Fool are like...not carbon copies, but it's as if someone handed a one-page outline of a show to two different writers. Lots of random historical figures, lots of weird tech, COOLSTORYBRO general.

Though Nobunagun is definitely more attached to reality than The Fool. Nobunagun applies the Random Historical Figures Everywhere on the Alien Invasion Defence Force type plot, while The Fool is...Star Driver on heroin.
Not that that's a bad thing :3 GINGA BISHONEN MOTHERFUCKERS

Downloading downloaded and watching watched the first episode of Tonari no Seki-kun, because I'm hella curious~

So the basic premise is:
Spoiler: ShowHide
High school student Seki Toshinari is always goofing off in class, using stationary to build simple to incredibly complex games. His friend, Yokoi (the main character), tries her hardest to pay attention in class, but Seki's antics get the best of her, and she joins in.

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on January 12, 2014, 07:25:13 AM
So let's do a summary of this season's anime...

Hoozuki no Reitetsu: Not funny
D-Frag: Shows promise
Sekai Seifuku Bouryaku no Zvezda: BASED AS FUCK
ImoCho: DUMBEST SHOW OF THE CENTURY, also unexpectedly grimdark if you watch with your fridge glasses on
Nisekoi: SHAFT FINDS A WAY, The Anime
Seitokai Yakuindomo*: Still Sex Jokes The Anime, Season Two, Now With Extra Budget
Sakura Trick: LEWDLEWDLEWDLEWDLEWDLEWD
Mikakunin: Bland
Chuu22: KYOANI MAKING MONEY, The Sequel
Buddy Complex: First episode was too short, looks promising
Pilot: First episode was too short, looks somewhat promising
Noragami: SO BASED IT'S LIKE WE HAVE 2 SHAFT SHOWS THIS SEASON
Nobunagun: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MORE DAKKA
Nobunaga The Fool: I DON'T EVEN KIRABOSHI AND WHAT IS THIS
Mahou Sensou: SUDDENLY EVERYONE IS A MAGICIAN also inb4GILGAMESH
Witch Craft Works: First episode was a bit rushed, looks decently interesting at least

Top tier so far: Nobunagun, SYD*, Zvezda, Noragami. Watch these ASAP, everyone.
Shows showing promise: Witchcraft, Buddy Complex, D-Frag, Sakura Trick. Try these out if you have the time.
Following because why not/3 episode rule: Pilot, Nisekoi (because SHAFT might do something cool), Chuu22 (because why not), Mikakunin. YMMV on these.
Following to see what happens when the train crashes/funny or weird premise but this could go horribly wrong very fast: The Fool, Mahou Sensou, ImoCho (98%dropped though, this show is just so dumb that I want to see what stupid shit they come up with next). Follow these at your own risk (Mahou Sensou may or may not belong in the above category).
Dropped: Hoozuki no Reitetsu, ImoCho

Top tier of last season, including 2-cour leftovers: Log Horizon (ongoing), Outbreak Company, Non Non Biyori. Watch these if you haven't already.
Other good shows of last season, including 2-cours: Kill la Kill (ongoing), Strike the Blood (ongoing), Tokyo Ravens (ongoing). Watch if you have time.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?

Finally went back and watched Shinsekai Yori.
It's pretty good.

Spoiler: ShowHide
I haven't been this distraught since the third episode of Meguca.

Following the characters through a long stretch of time like that really got to me. Especially what happened to Maria. It was set up kind of like the opposite of ARIA, if that makes any sense. Even got the NTR feel towards the second half.

Overall a solid 8/10 for me. Took a shit in my heart.

@leaf: the popular ones always get moar seeds. when I was torrenting hot'n'fresh SAO, I saw them with over 1000 seeds. :0


so guys, back me up here: I think bakabt has a policy now of only letting registered members torrent stuff. :\
all the torrents I download from them never get past the "finding peers" stage, leading me to think they may have found a way to lock random people out.

say what you will about me getting stuff from bakabt, but there are times when it has what nyaa doesn't, so I think of it as a necessary evil. :\
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on January 26, 2014, 09:46:12 AM
The only issue I've ever had is how my torrents expire on a monthly basis, so if I start it in January and it's not finished before February, I have to redownload the torrent file and start over.

Maybe they blocked you for not seeding? I've always heard that you'll get blocked from some trackers for not seeding until you've uploaded equal to how much you downloaded :\
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 26, 2014, 09:48:01 AM
possible, but do trackers track by ip address, or by computer itself? because this thing's died so many times that I doubt there's any record left.

also, they only really blocked people from downloading for not seeding when they had an account there. that's why I abandoned my account, actually. :\
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on January 26, 2014, 09:53:55 AM
No telling; maybe there's the off chance your IP address, if it randomly generates one, happened to line up with that of a user. I sometimes go onto Wikipedia and find system notices for unregistered users that vandalized an article, whom I ended up rolling the IP address for -w-;

I do. We talked about something like this before, right?

But yeah, I hate how BakaBT expects everyone to seed equal to what they have downloaded. Most people will be downloading from a home connection, which will (usually) have sub-par upload speeds. Don't get me wrong, I do seed my torrents now and then, but you can expect me to leave my client open 27/7.

Also, anyone using MPC yet?
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on January 26, 2014, 11:45:49 AM
Indeed. My home connection is completely unsuitable for seeding; I'll usually seed as long as I can before I drop it.

Also, I used to use MPC, but now I'm so adjusted to VLC that it's hard to go back

My download speed (3mbps+), and for what it is, my upload speed is rather good (i.e: I get more than 100 KBs).

I used to use VLC, but then I switched to CCCP (with Media Player Classic), and it's been sweet love ever since <3
It's smaller, uses better codecs, no audiorape while seeking, and the colors don't look washed out. Though I will say one thing:

WHY ISN'T THE CCDA FILTER ENABLED BY DEFAULT!?

cause I know no one besides me does, trololol.
and even then, I don't seed things BBT wants me to, since their insane rules for seeding don't jive with mine. (I seed stuff that NEEDS it. stuff with 5 seeds or less. ><; )

I just torrented the first two seasons of Minami-ke on Saturday as a random user so I dunno. I have sort of had your problem though. But only with utorrent.

speaking of, I started downloading something called Yutori-chan. seems it was a web animation. dunno where I'm gonna find all the 50-something episodes, considering Yuurisan subs only did 4 (well, they did 10 or 11, but only 1-4 were seeded) and their website went down. the other sub group I found appears to have stopped seeding the early episodes, too. :\

it's cute, lighthearted, and silly.

It depends on the show; for every twenty dubs equal to Voltron in terms of crap-ness, there are those few like Haruhi Suzumiya or Cowboy Bebop, which strike gold.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: NejinOniwa on February 11, 2014, 09:14:18 PM
Perhaps, but using dubs for Haruhi means missing out on what is, without doubt, one of the best VA cast of all time. Tomokazu Sugita's Kyon, Chihara Minori's Nagato; both are extremely iconic roles that very much defined their respective VA's for a long time after. Not to forget Dat Taniguchi ;) And while Mikuru and Koizumi aren't quite as outstanding, they are also less defining characters to begin with.

And that's without mentioning Hirano fucking Aya as Haruhi fucking Suzumiya, which says a lot about the stellar quality of the series' casting overall. A good dub simply doesn't play in the same division as a good original cast.

I strongly recommend watching the original show, if possible with the air order of the first season. Makes it a whole lot better all in all.

Why are you watching dubs ever
WHY
It's not like torrenting is hard
Because I bloody can.

EDIT: Seriously though, why do you feel the need to make snarky comments when I mention watching animu in a format that you don't like? It's OK if you don't like English dubs, I mean it's really a matter of personal preference, but please don't try and force it on me. And, well, I didn't feel like torrenting (or can find any adequate torrents) to begin with.

Episode 19 of KLK. My thoughts on where the series is going next in the spoiler tag below:

Kill la Kill (Episode 19): ShowHide
Given that Ryuko has been driven mad from the revelation at the end of the previous episode, and once more refuses to put on Senketsu, I have a few theories on what could happen next:

- One way or another, she's going to end up wearing him again. Whither she's forced to via some secret plan by Ragyo, or she does so on her own free will (Which would might indicate her coming to terms with her past), is yet to be seen
- The bit after the credits seems to indicate that Satsuki isn't down for the count yet. What could possibly happen next, I'm not entirely sure
- A little let down that they're removing the episode previews from episode 20 onward in favor of posting them online, but I guess if the extra 30 seconds shaved off by removing it allows for a longer episode, I'll roll with it (Most likely, the theme song might not be played for the next few episodes; given that not playing the OP is a usual anime thing that signals "shit gets real in this episode", and with how this episode ended, it makes the most sense)


Now, I wait for next week

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: LeaflameSD on February 27, 2014, 11:09:38 AM
I think recap episodes are sort of good AND bad.

Good; because they give you time to catch up on past events, or clear some things that maybe the viewer didn't understand,

Bad; because it may be a waste of time, when the characters and story could be developed more, and we might already know what happened

But hey, what do I know? I'm just a British plebian.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on February 27, 2014, 11:27:58 AM
I personally hate recap episodes and clip shows in general; it just feels like a waste of the audience's time, especially when the series isn't even that long (If it's a longer series, I can understand if they need to refresh the viewers on something from season 2 when they're currently on season 16, but when it's a 26-episode series, why they need to devote an entire episode to telling us what happened in the previous 24 episodes is pointless)

Post by: Nichi on March 28, 2014, 12:11:07 AM
Just finished the final episode of KLK. Thoughts below

Kill la Kill (Episode 24 - Final): ShowHide
To put it briefly, fucking epic.

To elaborate, this episode reeked of glorious Gurren Lagann hot-bloodedness. While the final battle lacks the same level of awesome music wise (But who am I kidding? You can't top Libra Me From Hell, although the songs that play are still great), it more than delivers on the action and twists; it's an exciting ride that needs to be experienced. As expected, Ragyo and the Original Life Fiber were defeated, although they put up one hell of a fight (As did Ryuko).

The part with Senketsu dying was sad, but it does mark a new beginning for Ryuko; as Senketsu himself put it before he died, "you can wear whatever you want now". As far as the ending, I'm let down that it sort of ends after that part; we get a dialog-free epilogue during the credits, showing Ryuko, Mako, and Satsuki wondering around a town, but that's really it. I would have liked for them to maybe show what everyone was up to after everything was finished, but maybe we'll get a series of movies to expand on the story (Much like Gurren Lagann or Madoka Magica), or even a DVD-exclusive bonus episode to serve as an epilogue (Like .hack//Sign or Arcade Gamer Fubuki).

All in all, fucking amazing series; glad I decided to give it a look after a post Bella made talking about it when it first began.


I might attempt to write a review of the series in full for Kari's blog. Although, first I think I want to get back to, and finish, Soul Eater

not next week, but the one after will likely be Detroit Metal City, and then possibly Kill la Kill (courtesy of RamuneRoxy)......which is leading me to think I should watch something benign and review it to give a break in between all the violence and underboob. so I'm thinking of watching Natsuyuki Rendezvous next, since it's short and very quiet.

it's worth mentioning he's Japanese and really full of himself. I read the entire comments section on the initial page and it was implied that this was not the first time he made jokes like that. no excuses, man~

Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii is kind of meh so far.

Also read the manga for Gokukoku no Brynhildr and Mahouka Koukou no Gary Stu last week after the first episodes. Bad habit of mine. Wonder if I'll end up dropping the animu adaptations as a result.

Thanks for the site Leaf. I'd just been using gendou for ost stuff in mp3.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I'm hoping to find stuff like remix/doujin albums.
For miku and touhou there are ginormous collection torrents, but I don't know of any for animu in general.
Remix stuff doesn't show up on bakabt and individual albums are rarely seeded on nyaa after they've been out for a while.
Basically looking for a tracker like nyaa, but you know, actually seeded.

Has anybody heard anything about animebytes? Should I look into that?

got to watch The Ocean Waves the other day. glad i did, i consider it one of Ghibli's two "lost" films and now i've seen both. -w-
it was cute, light, and simple (like, the most generic Ghibli has ever dared to get.....probably because of who made it), but i can't really understand how the underlings managed to screw up such a simple assignment like that. >>;
oh, and it was easily the most violent Ghibli movie i have ever seen.

dunno what i want to watch next. i have this lingering feeling in the back of my head that i should watch Kimi ni Todoke, but it's a bit long. :\
(logically, i know i should finish Gokinjo Monogatari, but i don't really feel like it atm. :\ )

FINALLY WATCHED LITTLE WITCH ACADEMIA.

we've been putting on random things on the tv recently, mostly daria. but i had an urge to watch some anime, so since Jack (formerly known as Greg, will explain if asked) was interested too, we put it on. and we ended up watching the other entries into the Young Animator Training Project for 2013.

Young Animator Training Project: ShowHide

for those not in the know, the YATP is a program started in 2010 by the Japanese Animation Creators Association. every year, 4 studios are selected and they send their most junior members on their own to make a short film (between 15-40 minutes, usually about half an hour). despite the hype behind Trigger using Kickstarter to fund Little Witch Academia, it was actually an entry into the YATP, not a standalone project. Trigger was one of 4 studios in 2013, the other ones being Madhouse, Gonzo, and Zexcs. Pierrot was supposed to enter, but for reasons unknown they dropped out and were replaced by Zexcs.


Little Witch Academia: ShowHide

honestly, it was shorter than i had anticipated, and was more hyped up than what it delivered. still, it was very, very good, cute, and colourful. the animation style is also quite unique, and akin to KlK, leading me to believe that the fluid, large-eyed, bouncy style may be Trigger's signature. that, and the weird. Trigger is so goddamn weird.


Death Pool: ShowHide

Madhouse's contribution got me very excited since Madhouse is my favourite japanese animation studio. i didn't know what to expect going in, but me and the guys loved it, with the story being sharp and (for lack of a better term) unique, with excellent animation and real, powerful emotion, as to be expected from the geniuses over at Madhouse. all 3 of us also agreed that, were Madhouse to follow up on it, this would make for a great full-length series, with a monster-of-the-week format.



Ryo, Gonzo's contribution, was dramatic and cold. still, though, i really enjoyed it, but i feel it may have gotten outweighed in my mind by the others. it was a samurai drama and very action-packed, with a suspenseful ending and genuine heartbreak. i'm not sure if it completely wrapped up all the loose ends, but i'm sure if i watched it again i'd understand it more.


Arve Rezzle: ShowHide

this was the one i liked the least, but only because it was a bit disjointed. i think Zexcs may continue this as a longer-running series, and if they do, i'll probably enjoy it more, but for the time being all 3 of us complained of the herky-jerky narrative and confusing plot that lasted till halfway through the film. the concept is great, the art style like nothing i've ever seen (in a good way), but without a longer timeslot, it remains an odd entry into the project.


i plan on reviewing all of these on the blog at some point, but i want to review them in year order, so the first ones to be seen will be from 2010. before that, though, i think i'll review The Ocean Waves, since it seems i didn't review it (i remember writing something.....but maybe it was for here?).

EDIT: oh right, we watched the Fuccons. it was......interesting. and short, very very short.

So, finally downloading Ranma 1\2 and plan to try it out soon. I remember watching one of the movies ages ago (Ranma 1\2: Big Trouble in Nekonron, China. If you ever hear me say "rice & pickled vegetables", it originated from that movie -w-; ), and I liked it, so I figured I'd finally give the series a try
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on May 19, 2014, 07:39:20 PM
well, rice and pickled vegetables ARE good. -w-

and Ranma is a CLASSIC. i haven't seen it myself, but basically everyone knows about it and i'm willing to bet most of my older anime friends have seen it. it's Takahashi's big hit between Urusei Yatsura and Inuyasha (which is to say that it is THE Takahashi of the 90's).
(also, technically Maison Ikkoku is a cult classic, but is much less known than her other works from what i know.)

watched and reviewed the rest of the YATP 2010 yesterday, there will be a review live tonight. though i don't think any of you outside of pent actually READ my reviews, i REEEEALLY encourage you to read this one; the 2010 shorts were beyond spectacular. :000

*beats you with a tuna because the mackerel isn't fresh*

up to ep 7 of Space Dandy. disappointed to learn that i can't review the 2014 edition of the Young Animator Training Project yet since there's no subbed version of Paroru no Miraijima (or, correction, the only subbed version is a shitty chinese one). so, going to do a review of 2012's offering either tonight or tomorrow (feeling pretty tired, soooo....) and then pause the regularly scheduled programming for a review of Space Dandy s1. i want to get the Dandy review out asap so expect the YATP2012 review out within 24 hours.

While I'm somewhat enjoying the show, Usagi's voice can really aggravate me at times.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on July 07, 2014, 02:05:43 PM
Usagi's voice is the original voice and was actually one of my favoured parts, since everything just feels so.....meh about it.

i was gonna spoilertag my thoughts about it but i'm too busy/out of it to make an uber post, so i will sum up the key points:

-the new opening and ending aggravate me as it would have been nicer to get covers of both Moonlight Densetsu and Heart Moving out of Momoiro Clover Z, but i like the ending as a standalone song. it's not NEARLY as powerful as HM but it's still nice. the opening is......eh.

-OH GOD I CHOKED ON THAT CG TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE WHY THE FUCK WAS THAT THERE IT'S LITTLE MORE THAN A POLISHED VERSION OF SAILOR AND THE 7 BALLZ

-Mamoru........unf. they did a fine job this time.

Post by: Chocofreak13 on July 08, 2014, 12:43:20 AM
no no, i DO like it.....i just have super-mixed feelings on it. i can honest-to-satan say that it's something where you need to watch the first episode and judge for yourself. i'd never actively discourage someone from watching Sailor Moon, even if it were Sailor and the Seven Ballz. -w-

Saw an episode of SAO II- the GGO arc.

My most recent though was GITS Arise episode 3. Apparently that just came down the pipe.

If memory serves the 4th Evangelion movie is coming soon too.

@Kari: Your mentioning of the Sailor Moon movies reminded me of one thing that happened years ago on Toonami that pissed me off. They announced they were going to play the Sailor Moon R movie, and had promoted it for a week in advance as a big thing...and then the day comes, and they instead air Dragon Ball Z: The Dead Zone for the ten thousandth time >_>;

It would have been a great April Fool's joke...had it not been the middle of July when they did that :\

The first part of the movie fucked up my mind so badly, I couldn't even. I didn't remember Mitakihara being so flat-out-trippy in the series and it was driving me nuts. I just chalked it up to SHAFT having lots of money to pour into production values and maybe some really good drugs. The PLOT TWIST brought mixed emotions; on one hand I was like "holy crap, NO NO NO, THIS IS ALL A FABRICATION? " but on the other I was all, "Oh thank goodness, I'm not losing my mind."

On the other hand, the sheer fact that Mami was living a happy life should have set off alarm bells that the whole thing was an illusion. But I seriously didn't see it coming.

The reveal just took the trippy-ness to a whole 'nother level. And afterwards it definitely gave the theater an "oh shi--" sort of atmosphere.

Dammit I've been had.

I expected Rail Wars to be an all electric harem on rails.

Suddenly in the middle of episode 1, the steam power I wanted to see. And with some fairly accurate info on how to actually handle a steam locomotive, at least according to what I know of them from being a fan of steam for so long.

Course steam isn't a mainline power at all, and I somehow doubt that they'll be using it again. We shall see. But that was awesome seeing the doubleheader C62 2 and C62 3- engines that still exist in Japan being represented in anime, and nursed up over 100km/h.

Note: UP and some British Rail companies have used steam locomotives in revenue service within the last twenty or so years.  It'd never happen in Japan, but it's worth mentioning I think.

Union Pacific #844. The only steam locomotive in the world to have never been withdraw from active duty.

Mostly 844 is used to pull steam excursion trains, but sometimes when returning from an excursion they'll put light freight behind it just to not waste the trip and let the engine have a little weight to pull.

There are a few british locomotives that run more regularly than you would expect. Mostly the A4 class, but there is also the Duke, the Flying Scotsman, and the Tornado- which itself is the newest full scale steam locomotive in the world having been built in 2008 from scratch.

I didn't realize till I was watching episode 4 that Rail Wars is also an ongoing anime. Looks like I'll have two ongoing series to watch- SAO season 2 and Rail Wars.

Hopefully Super Sonico season 2 comes out soon.

Didn't think there was such a thing. Thought there was only a video game, manga, and drama.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ9vkt7BHYI

Rail Wars is less about trains than I was hoping it would be. After the first ep, its just been generic harem with the occasional blurb of info.


Also, most of the budget went into Aoi's butt.

Pretty much. The first episode really lures in the railfans with the different engines and operations, especially the steam power.

Then the rest of the series thus far has actually been closer to murder mystery with harem oppertunities and only a dusting of actually riding or talking about the trains.

Episode 6 has me a bit ticked off- its clearly a filler. To have that happen so early on in the season is not a good sign.

Watched Appleseed earlier because it was playing on-demand. Not fond of the animation style, the 3D CGI was alright for the machines and scenery but the characters themselves reminded made me think "highly-evolved MMD models". (Not a great look in other words.) Granted, the details were good and movement quite crisp and realistic, so maybe it's my bias toward cartoony exagerations speaking more than anything else. The first half-hour or so was a little GENERIC SCI-FI ACTION ANIME for me but it picked up from there, the story was alright overall. Probably wouldn't have kept my attention if not for the decent characterization and strong female leads, however.

7/10 would probably watch again.

The manga was authored by Masamune Shirow of GitS fame. That's another reason I watched it, tbh... even though it was really only reminiscent of GitS mechanical-design and character design-wise. And maybe (relatively) smaller badass girl with big hulking male love interest-wise.

If you didn't like the newer CGI version try looking into the older animated one. It's from like 1988 or so and is some pretty classic anime Sci-fi. If it feels like generic sci-fi its because its from an earlier age when everything hadn't been done.

still need to download SAO II. Kaiba ep 2. i'm REALLY glad that one facebook friend steered me away from showing this to kids, she was so right.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: SleepyD on September 25, 2014, 02:02:49 PM
lol, yeah, SAO is not for kids.
SAO2/GGO does heap on action-fanservice, but so far I'm enjoying the internal conflicts. It seemed contrived a bit at first, but it grew on me. (And Sinon is hot omgwww)

But if you're not looking for any fanservice, I again re-iterate my recommendation for Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

Post by: Chocofreak13 on September 25, 2014, 06:00:46 PM
what? no. i meant Kaiba. i showed SAO I to a group of students when it was first coming out. but i have a general rule: if it's been on [as] or the new Toonami, it's not being played in club.

saw Kaiba ep. 3 earlier, and if it counts, just saw the Steven Universe finale. HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

Oh yeah, Kaiba is definitely not for everyone, but you can find hidden gems within those unusual concepts, I believe.

Currently finishing off leftover eps from the summer season, and slowly progressing with season 2 of Fate/Zero.

@leaf: it's possible it wasn't that popular. i never got into it.
@exa: it's not even about finding gems in weird concepts or it "not being for everyone" or whatever, it's just.....someone gets sexed to death in the second episode, man!! NOT something i can show to 12-year-olds. >>;

may watch some more Kaiba this afternoon; i would now but i don't want to get tied down since i'll be leaving sometime in the near future.

Seems like Rail Wars ended at episode 12. Oh well.

Still watching SAO2 though.

Hopefully they release Season 2 of Super Sonico soon.

Until then, I have no idea what I want to watch next. I still haven't finished Watamote, and I really want more of Maoyuu- that will never happen due to poor sales.

Started Terra Formars (and watched the first half of the OVA, too, second half will come out in November or something).
While "humanity fighting monstrosities of some kind" is nothing new, but this time, the monstrosities look kinda ridiculous and it makes hard to take them seriously (I had the same issue with Attack on Titan too, to be fair).

Started watching Madan no Ou to Vanadis over the weekend.

Seems interesting so far, a medieval europe-like country.

What's got my attention about it at the moment is actually not the fanservice-designed battle maidens that seem to be effectively valkyries representing one of the countries, but rather the name of the hero's city.

Alsace, likely a play on the real world city Aslace.

In real life Aslace was  a steadily growing village on the border between france and germany that would often become a war prize, throughout history it would be alternately captured by them in wartime. After WWII it was assigned to France, where it has remained ever since.

I'm hoping as the story develops it works out similar to Maoyuu, since they have quite a bit in common already.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Exa on October 29, 2014, 04:29:14 PM
Oh yeah, I am following that one, too. To be honest, I am somewhat cautious - I don't really want the fanservicey war maidens to steal the whole show - but I hope we will get into some twists with interactions between all the factions and their notable characters.

Last show I watched was Selector Spread WIXOSS.

To be honest, I think this show gets real boring at times; sometimes, it's just talking for twenty-five minutes. The plot is kind of confusing, and the battles (the few battles that are actually in this) don't explain how the game actually works. Still, though... at least I'm half-enjoying it.

what's it about? it sounds a bit like one of those flavour-of-the-week game type shows that perhaps just jumped on the bandwagon without really much thought. :\


not having much else to do tonight, i may end up watching anime for hours. i think i should finish up Kaiba and ParaKiss, and i may watch the Cutey Honey DVD i bought last week. (though, to be fair, that's live-action.)

I'm not very good with remembering/summarizing things, so here's a quote from Wikipedia.

QuoteWIXOSS (short for "Wish Across") is a popular trading card game in which players battle against each other with fighters known as LRIGs (ルリグ Rurigu?) ("GIRL" spelled backwards), using cards to support them. Ruko Kominato, who receives a WIXOSS deck from her brother, discovers that her LRIG, which she names Tama, can speak. She soon learns that she has been chosen as a 'Selector', girls who must battle against other Selectors. Should they be victorious in battle, they will be able to have any wish granted, but should they lose three times to other Selectors, they will lose that chance and lose all memory of the game. As she and various other Selectors battle it out for the sake of their wish, Ruko finds herself drawn into the dark sinister world of WIXOSS, discovering that win or lose, there is always a cost.

The show does get a lil' spooky.

Cool :3

So, I started the MapleStory anime...and after just one episode, I'm wondering if I made the right decision. It's so dull and generic thus far; it feels like the source material in a way that leaves me wondering why I'm watching this instead of playing the game. However, I'll try to finish it so I can write a review; after all, maybe it just got off to a bad start and gets better once I get further into it. Hopefully. -w-;

Post by: Chocofreak13 on January 07, 2015, 05:46:18 PM

watched another episode of Code-E and the OVA Boku, Otaryman. i'll be reviewing things soon, i promise ;^;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on January 07, 2015, 09:42:35 PM
Mmm. Code-E does look interesting :3

As for MapleStory, indeed; since this review will be coming from the point of view of someone that's played the game for 5+ years. I admit, I've done further research and discovered some things from the series, such as the World Tree, do exist in the game, but not as shown in the series (In the anime, it's a literal tree, while in the game, it's the name of a mysterious little girl, ala Aura). I'm about 5 episodes in so far, and it's still yet to truly wow me; it honestly isn't as good as its American counterpart, MapleStory: New Leaf Saga (A Flash-animated web series that ran from 2010 to 2012), which was a charming, humorous series that wasn't afraid to poke fun at its source material.

Alright, I started the Kantai Collection anime, after hearing all kinda stuff about the franchise, but never playing it myself.

My first impressions are surprisingly positive. So far it looks like they did put effort into the battle scenes, too, not just the slice-and-life scenes. Some of the characters are kinda weird for now, but  I might get used to them. Hope this first ep was not just baiting watchers and then following it with low quality stuff, but we will see.

I see. To be fair, it kinda felt like "Strike Witches, but on water" to me, which, at the very least, gives the hope of a decent show. It won't become the gold standard of anime, but will probably be enjoyable to watch. And that's what matters, right? (By the way, what made this whole franchise so popular in the first place? It cannot be just the cute girls, right?)

Post by: Nichi on January 09, 2015, 09:55:42 PM
Indeed. Also, go for eet~
(I'm going to continue crawling through MS so I can finish my review of it)

EDIT: So, for the curious, my thoughts on the MapleStory anime after the first 10 episodes
MapleStory (Episodes 1 through 10): ShowHide
The first 10 episodes of this show are a bore to get through; you could cut out most of those episodes and it'd have zero impact on the overall narrative of the story. The fact that we just spent 1\3 of the series on meaningless monster-of-the-week fluff doesn't help much; it's easy to see why so many subbers chose to drop the series after 12 episodes. Granted, the Korean Wikipedia notes the series was a flop over there for having little to do with the game, while the Japanese Wikipedia only has the anime as a footnote on the game's article, which shows that even over there it had little impact (In Japan's case, it probably didn't help that this show came on right after Gurren Lagann).

Most of the episodes thus far boiled down to "antagonist does something or there's a complete misunderstanding, everyone blames Al because he's a human or blames each other due to mutual hatred, Al ultimately saves the day and everyone forgets about this in the next episode as the cycle begins anew". It's like when the World Tree was destroyed, it not only spelled an end for peace and harmony throughout the Maple World, it also spelled an end for rational thinking as well. So far, it's been such a pore to crawl through that I'm left wondering why I'm not playing the game instead.

I still have 16 episodes left before this is over. I will admit, the ending to episode 10 leaves me feeling like the series is about to pick up, so I'll continue to press on and see if it does improve. I mean, it can't be as painful as I My Me Strawberry Eggs or F-Zero: GP Legend, right?

You know, with that new Dragon Ball Z movie coming out, I thought of something: why hasn't there been an anime movie based on the concept of The Expendables? Like, have a massive crossover featuring classic anime action heroes like Goku and Kenshiro. That would honestly make for a badass movie -w-

Thoughts?
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on February 06, 2015, 06:18:19 PM
they've done a few Jump crossover fighting games, but i think that's the closest we'd ever get to something like that. it's a bit difficult to translate compared to western media, since you have wildly different worlds, whereas with western comics, for the most part they're all set on earth, in the modern day, in Everytown, USA. it's a basic matter of putting characters A into setting B. :\

True that. Also, I totally want to get my hands on the Shonen Jump fighting games; always heard they were awesome
Also, I remember X-Play made it a point to state "FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST IS NOT IN THIS #topkek". Um, ok...that's like making it a point to state Superman isn't playable in Marvel Ultimate Alliance :\

So, I plan to get back to the MapleAnime soon. I'd like to wrap it up, so I can get the reviews ready to pass onto you -w-

i'm loving it! i watched the original Anime Short (it was part of Anime Mirai 2013), and showed it to my friends, and we all agreed that it should have gotten a series. when i heard it did, i was thrilled, and it's been excellent thus far. of course, it's Studio Madhouse, so there was no question. -w-

showed the kids more Death Parade today. they are beyond enjoying it so it was the right call. we had some extra time after so i showed them one episode each of Fireball (they were confused) and Di Gi Charat (they were adorb'd).

I know they basically use fight scenes as filler. Although Dragonball Z Kai is a version with all of the filler removed. Shrinks it by about half.
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on March 07, 2015, 11:11:17 AM
yeah, Kai is the preferred version of it these days (i agree with that opinion). as nostalgic as it is, having 5 episodes in a row of HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA to break up the plot got a little tedious. >>;
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on March 07, 2015, 12:42:05 PM
Among people I know, Team Four Star's Dragonball Abridged is the preferred version -w-;;

some of the people here might like this show. it's cute, it's political, it's existentialist, and it's a sci-fi love story.

Post by: Nichi on June 03, 2015, 04:40:54 PM
So, I've begun the process of recovering the shows I had on that external that died on me. So far, I've recovered all of Kill la Kill (Including the rare, early version of episode 22; which featured a Japanese weather bulletin. Seems weird, but I found that kinda neat, in an Oddity Archive sort of way), and found that some of my more recently obtained anime has survived (The MapleStory anime, the episode 25 OVA of Kill la Kill, and AMV Hell 7).

Speaking of recently obtained, I managed to find a working torrent of the original Jojo's Bizarre Adventure OVA. I plan to watch and review it sometime, especially to go over its rather interesting history (The first 6 episodes came out in 1993, with a direct prequel released in 2000)
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Goujer on June 03, 2015, 06:05:07 PM
I haven't seen all of the OVA of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure I don't plan to as the anime now covers what the OVA already did. (and even more accurately) I'm not sure where you are in JoJo but I would watch the first two parts on Crunchyroll or wherever, then watch the OVA or the anime of part 3.

After that I would read the manga as JoJo gets increasingly better after part 2. I wish you a "Golden Experience".

@Kari: I LOL'd at that xD

@Lego: TBH, the extent of my knowledge of Jojo comes from the arcade game, which was ported to Dreamcast and PS1 -w-;
I've heard the 2012 series is a lot better than the '93 OVA, so I'll likely try it out later on. Besides, maybe watching something other than the shitty MapleStory anime* will get me off my lazy butt and review something -w-;;

*For the record, I intend to eventually finish my review of it, once I make sure I didn't lose my notes and half-finished review. Of what I've seen so far, I can see why the most interesting thing the Japanese Wikipedia had to say about it was "it came on after Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann"

Truth be told, I don't get the extreme levels of hype surrounding it (I remember most people online were like "this will save anime"), but as a campy, over-the-top action series in league of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, I found it a fun watch from start to finish.

Well, the writers responsible for TTGL did create KLK, which is why I made the comparison. Also, as far as a series being considered softcore porn...at least KLK is more tasteful than Jungle di Ikou? ^^;;

Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Chocofreak13 on August 19, 2015, 10:19:55 AM
yeah KLK isn't even scratching the surface of softcore anime porn. Hell, Minna Agechau (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minna_Agechau) was set to be the first US anime release (http://www.rightstufanime.com/anime-resources/history-of-anime-in-the-us) (ctrl + F, 'minna agechau'), but the controversy over the "extra" bundled with the VHS (a pair of pink paper panties) nipped that in the bud. >>;


i could see KLK being called 'the saviour of anime' for a couple reasons:

-It's taking anime in a wildly different direction. rather than use the same art style, plot, character model and action style as basically every other series out there (why do i like Ore Monogatari! and Sukkitte Ii na Yo so much? because they're atypical romance series >>; ), KLK is doing things the KLK way, everyone else be damned.
-Trigger is a different studio all around. they were one of the first to get crowdfunding for a show, basically snuck into the market that way, and people love them for it. they all have the experience, but as i imagine most in the industry are, they were tired of seeing all the crazy, fun ideas wind up on the cutting room floor because they're not 'safe'. :\
-Because of its devil-may-care attitude, it's breaking us out of the anime ruts we've fallen into. on top of that, it's Leeroy-Jenkins-ing through the barriers of what's considered 'popular' to make sure that no one forgets that anime can be kooky, too. (if nothing else, it gave us an alternative to fucking AoT. >>;;; )
-The controversy may actually be HELPING it. the skimpy clothes aren't played for sex appeal, they're played for comedic effect, which few series have done. sure, there might be some protestors, but when they actually read/watch/look hard at the material, they can likely see that the series isn't doing this to corrupt the youth, they're doing it to poke fun at other anime/anime studios. -w-


i haven't seen it yet. but i really like KLK. it's fresh, it's exciting, it's hilarious, and it's by the underdog of the industry and managed to put them on the map. i wish it was more popular in this area than it was (all the kids want to talk about is Attack on Titan.....i'm seriously sick of it), but overall the fans ate it up and i really hope Trigger can give us more. :0
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on August 19, 2015, 10:38:36 AM
That actually is a good point; never quite thought about it like that, but then again, everything after season 2 of Haruhi is a strange void; all I've really watched since then is KLK and Madoka.

Also, I'd love to see Trigger do something new, yes :3

I need to get back to Jojo; I just started season 1 last week, and watched the first 5 episodes. It's good so far, yes :3

Also, IDK if maybe balancing it with Jojo is making it less painful or not, but the very last episode of MapleStory I watched was surprisingly not as painful as the previous ones, so I might try to push onward; in case maybe the show is getting better or maybe it's just the balance of WRYYY that's keeping me sane ^^;

EDIT: I just finished Act I of Jojo. It moved very quickly, TBH, and was surprisingly intense (It had a few comedic moments, but the first arc was a bit more serious than I was expecting, and in terms of violence, given this sub is sourced from the uncut BluRay release, it makes Bleach look like the old daytime Toonami cut of Dragon Ball Z). Now, for Act II (Which is covered by the remaining 17 episodes of season 1)

You know, as far as old anime, although I have seen older (Urusei Yatsura, for example), I considered watching the original '84 version of You Wa Shock Fist of the North Star, once I finish catching up on Jojo.

Post by: Exa on November 18, 2015, 01:39:03 PM
Well, for quite a time, I mostly watched ongoing stuff, but then I was like, I should not ignore older shows, thus, I ended up picking from them, too, creating a healthy balance of old and current. I guess it's fair.

Post by: Chocofreak13 on December 03, 2015, 10:38:50 PM
if you like Shojo or comedy in the slightest, ORE MONOGATARI I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.

like, seriously, Ore Monogatari (Spring 2015) has been eaten up by the kids in both anime clubs i moderate and the manga has, too. i ADORE it. and it has some action sprinkled in, too, just to make sure it's not all fluffy-goo-goo. (though, admittedly, the comedy helps take care of that, too, and there's more of it.)

Kyoukai no Rinne (Spring 2015) is the latest offering from Rumiko Takahashi, so you can't really go wrong with that one.

Re-Kan (Spring 2015) looked pretty cute...

Shokugeki no Souma (Spring 2015) seems like a good title, too, but be prepared for some fanservice.

Akagami no Shirayuki-hime (Summer 2015) sounds fucking hilarious. xD

Gakkou Gurashi (Summer 2015) is cute and it turns the zombie survival genre on its head. a good blend of mindfuck and slice-of-life. :0

there was another Lupin III anime in Summer 2015, if that's your thing....

One Punch Man and Young Black Jack seem to be the only halfway decent offerings from Fall, imo. there's a few others that look good, but they're either super-specialized (idk your tastes) or are a continued season. all the rest is fanservice. hope this helps. :\


EDIT: @Lego: years of self-study and immersion has led to that for me as well. it's fun when listening to songs, since you can pick up one or two and you feel all smart. ^^

With the new season started, I decided to fill up my watchlist, too.
The second season of Gate was a given, of course, and I picked up Sekkou Boys (for its odd sense of humour), Dimension W (for its interesting-sounding concept) and Active Raid (the base idea sounds like something I would have fun with).

Lately, I've been on a bit of a Pokemon kick (Like my post in Games General wasn't any indication, let alone that really nice custom case I bought for Crystal), so I've decided to watch some random episodes and do a review series on them.

the kids finished ORE MONOGATARI (read: the greatest anime series ever) and then they voted on what they wanted to see next. Windham picked ACTION LIBRARY (Dantalian no Shouka, which they finished last week and i filled in the time by showing them the Death Parade pilot again), and Pelham picked GayCakes (Antique Bakery; they're likely going to finish within the next meeting or so and they've also taken an extreme liking to Poyo Poyo Kansatsu Nikki). also showed Wasurenagumo to the attendees at Toshocon's bonus day. but tbh i don't want to think about Toshocon anymore, it got me into deep shit and was really fucking stressful. and it wasn't super-worth it to me, but at least everyone had fun (except me). >>;

Although not an anime, I did recently obtain the complete series or ReBoot -w-

Ok, as far as anime, I did also obtain the second season of Chunibyo...which I need to retrieve from my other desktop ^^;

Champloo is beautiful. :0

@Bells: Thanks! ^^
A few, yeah, likely gonna take some time tomorrow and write them. I worked my way through a series of shorts and two OVAs this past week, so those'll be first. After I got through with those, I started Hatsukoi Limited, so that'll probably come after. Pent also mentioned wanting to review Jojo. :0
Title: Re: What anime are ya watching?
Post by: Nichi on July 02, 2016, 11:42:33 AM
@Kari: I have that Jojo review ready; I need to pass it onto you later

So, I finished Samurai Champloo; I began watching it during my vacation a couple weeks back (Beating out season 2 of Chunibyo for the show I decided to binge watch), and finished it up yesterday. It was good; definitely reminded me of Cowboy Bebop, but stood well on its own...and, also, the baseball episode was hilarious xD

Which, what is it about baseball episodes of anime? They're almost always some of the funniest episodes of their series

Was watching some of Jojo: Stardust Crusaders. Good series, but I'm not fond of the sub I'm stuck watching; the translated script lacks the personality and attention-to-detail of the sub I watched of the first season, and it's also sourced from the TV broadcasts instead of the uncut BluRay release, which just feels strange going from one to the other. Sadly, HorribleSubs seem to be the only one to have released that season in its entirety :\

Yup, it definitely tries its best to differentiate itself from the other "average guy in fantasy world" stories. And that's what I really appreciate - it stays interesting through the episodes.

I haven't watched any anime in ages, it seems like most of the new stuff is either really dumb generic animu or has a good story but isn't interesting to me... I should probably try to watch some old classics.

I'm watching these anime this season:

Akiba's Trip: The Animation ✓
Chaos;Child
Demi-chan wa Kataritai
Fuuka
Gabriel DropOut
Hand Shakers
Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon✓
Kuzu no Honkai
Little Witch Academia
Masamune-kun no Revenge ✓
Schoolgirl Strikers: Animation Channel
Seiren
Spiritpact
Urara Meirochou
ēlDLIVE


Also just finished the first season of Tetsuwan Birdy: Decode. I loved the OVA from the 90s, and this series did not dissapoint. I finished Hidan no Aria like a few weeks ago... could've been a cool anime but ended up being typical harem trash.

I dug out Binchou-tan, an old anime and a favorite of mine.   It's actually a -tan which represents coal, believe it or not.  (A lot of the other characters also represent coal types).    A very sweet and touching anime imo.

I feel like I am watching quite a number of anime these days. At best, it becomes something I'll eagerly wait each week; at worst, it will be passable filler to kill some time. And my taste is rather erratic, either way.

I watched Lucky Star back in high school and loved it. The OVA is also really fun, too, and well worth a watch after you finish the series.

So lately I've gotten into Squid Girl, and am really enjoying it; just something light and silly to watch when unwinding after work. As for a more serious series, I'm finishing up Initial D: Fourth Stage; need to track down fansubs of the final two seasons, as they never dubbed anything past Fourth Stage.

About a month ago I finished watching Serial Experiments Lain for the first time. I enjoyed it a lot more than when I attempted to watch it back in the day; once it hooked me, I had a hard time putting it down.

I also finished season 2 of Squid Girl, which was just as fun as the first.

RE: Boku no Hero - one of my besties ADORES this series, so i occasionally receive info about it via osmosis. the list of anime she watches is much smaller than mine, so she tends to be a super devoted fan. which rocks, and she's cosplayed some of the characters before. that said, i like it too (i actually named this laptop after one of my favourite characters, lol), but it's MASSIVE and until i can score another job, getting the manga is out of the question. iirc, i pirated the first two seasons (and the movie?? i need to check), but between ADD and a toxic upbringing, forcing myself to sit down and actually watch a thing tends to be hard. exceptions seem to be made when i find a series that i want to watch over, and over, and over (see: Golden Kamuy).

finally sat down and watched In This Corner (And Other Corners) Of The World the other day, and extended cut means extended tears!! i remember the manga and the first cut of the movie fucking me up, but this one did MUCH worse, for some reason, so i ended up having to stay up an hour later than i intended so i could cleanse my palate in an emotional sense. i was literally like "i don't know what to do.....what do i put on.....", since watching a gag series or something mindlessly wholesome after that just felt wrong. i'm still kinda sad, and probably will be for at least a week. still love and stan the crap out of that movie/manga, though.

looking forward to Golden Kamuy S4 next month, and there's a Taisho series that Hal told me about, so there's that. gotta watch SpyxFamily, too. :0

So I finished Chargeman Ken a few days ago. That show was really dumb but hella fun; whenever I thought I had seen everything the show had to offer as far as weird plots and jank, it manages to throw a curveball and keep me hooked.
