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.
Quote from: "NewYinzer"
In the world of anime, is there ever a "normal" character?
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.
*cough*fansubs*cough*
*cough*Windows Rules!*cough*
Oh dear. I believe I've come down with an acute case of Ballmeritis!
DNA Angel....probably...
QuoteDNA Angel....probably...
Wikipe-tan, why have you forsaken me?
I mean it's DNAngel, sorry bout that...
lol Krad... one the few names that made me laugh. XD
QuoteQuote from : SleepyD
lol Krad... one the few names that made me laugh. XD
yeah it is funny ;001 , but it's the opposite of Dark
but its cool...
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
Hmm...if I turned into something cool everytime I though of my crush, I'd have a moped.

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.
Quote from: "NewYinzer"Hmm...if I turned into something cool everytime I though of my crush, I'd have a moped.
That... was random.
TBH: I watch no Anime at all (with the exception of Captain Tsubasa) o_o
s'okay.
we still love ya. haha ^^
I am currently not watching Anime of any sort. However, I'm hooked on the American animated serieses South Park and Dilbert. Still, that moped seems sweet.
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]
It looks like a few people here are watching the same thing. Feel free to talk about it. I'll be here, sipping S. Pellegrino.
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. ^^
I suppose that I would like action ones with romance, but South Park is on, so...
*sips S. Pellegrino*
Quote from: "SleepyD"

buried alive by a mountain of homework
_o_
Yeah, I'm currently watching
Higurashi (downloaded the latest episode, but can't watch it due to homework).
Also, I'm dowloading:
-Gundam Seed Stargazer (episode 2 just came out)
-Innocent Venus
-Zero no Tsukaima
-Welcome to the NHKAnd in the waiting list (downloaded the entire series, but haven't see it)
-Genshiken (5 episodes)
-Rozen Maiden Traumend
-Jinki Extend
QuoteYeah, I'm currently watching Higurashi (downloaded the latest episode, but can't watch it due to homework).
Downloaded, eh? Where are you getting the downloads from?
From a torrent ;hi
More exactly, from this site:
http://www.tokyotosho.com/
More info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorrent
Peer-to-peer, eh? I use Limewire for music, perhaps I should consider BitTorrent for TV shows...
I'm re-watching Jing: King of Bandits.
Great anime, and just as great re-watching it...though not as great when in english dubbed...
Oh yea, im also watching Zero no Tsukaima, thats a good one. And Welcome to NHK when I dont have anything else.
I get all mine from BitTorrent via www.animesuki.com and for the older ones I use www.torrentspy.com
I might give it a try.
Cover my back, Dr. Norton.

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
Oh i prefer the deeper stuff, thats why my favorite Star Trek series is The Next Generation, as its not all space battles but the calm diplomatic sort of stuff.
I'm watching Stargazer too!
Loving the ED. Just like I loved Akatsuki no Kuruma from SEED.
whoo~
And I'm starting Zero no Tsukaima. I just had to after watching Shana.
And... rewatching Gunslinger Girl too. ^^
I have Gunslinger Girl eps 1-4 on disc somewhere. I bought them in some video shop in Malaysia with Sailor Moon Movie's R and Super S. Back then I had a thing for Rini.
Quote from: "Alex Stankevitch"Oh i prefer the deeper stuff, thats why my favorite Star Trek series is The Next Generation, as its not all space battles but the calm diplomatic sort of stuff.
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.
This might be a good time to add that I don't watch any anime...
...but things might change. Star Wars is always good, I hope you don't mean the War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. It all depends on - WE'VE GOT A NEW MAYOR. BUT THE LAST ONE IS DEAD!
yeah, I liked WoW with Tom cruise Ã,¬Ã,¬
I'm a man of big robots, helicopters, tanks, so Its normal xD. And the older version is oooooold (though, never seen it, except for a few History Channel documentals)
Big robots are cool. But Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning are overrated B-movie actors. But I digress...
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
In 3001, couch jumping will be an Olympic Event.
The future of Pittsburgh lies in the hands of a college student...
Quote from: "NewYinzer"In 3001, couch jumping will be an Olympic Event.
Random, but most definatly true. Though id rather say 2020.
Well other then finaly seeing the end of Chrono Crusade which I just now shelled out the money for the last 2 discs, Im not really watching anything for once. Whats good for new subs are out, anyone?
Well a series I like is called:
Zero no Tsukaima
pretty good to!
Whats it about? Im gonna go check animesuki for it...
In case you're wondering:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_no_Tsukaima
Right now:
Utawarerumono and Ah Megamisama ~ Sorezore no Tsubasa. I've also got a few older animes on hold waiting to be watched, but I have less and less spare time these days. ;014
wikipedia strikes again. however apperently the company that owns the show requested its torrents be taken down, at least off of anime suki.
Silent Bob speaks!! which is odd in and of itself.
BTW, I found the coolest things on YouTube! If you look hard enough, you can find full-length episodes there!
Well you gonna tell us what the cool thing was?
The cool thing is that you can find full length episodes of some popular anime shows on YouTube. For instance, here you can find the entire first season of Rozen Maiden:
http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=AnimeAsia&page=3
Sweet. I thought you ment you found a spicific video that was beyond cool
Yeah. Anyway, I finished the series. Good anime, good subbing, hope there is a third season. According to Wikipedia, there will be an OVA to conclude things (I think). Now, which anime will I become addicted to now?
I donno, I normaly find a new one to be addicted to each week... dont have one at the moment tho....
Must...find...new...addiction.
http://www.baka-updates.com/search.php?keyword=Zero%20no%20Tsukaima&type=title
Zero no Tsukaima torrents
addicting + awsome
If you want I have more anime then you can shake a drunken baby at...
I will post a list of all the anime I currently have and you can choose from there.
sounds good, post away!
To download, do I press "BT"?
BT probobly means bit torrent. so yeah I would get thats where you get it.
Plus it says download if you hover over the button.
In other news, anyone seen the new OVAs for hellsing?
It gives me a 404 when I do it. Solutions?
Most of them seem to work for me. if the ep you want gives you a 404 message look for another one by a differnt sub, there are a few groups on there.
Hmm...indeed. Anyway, I found the greatest anime on YouTube - Mahoromatic! I had seen a clip a few months ago, only to discover the full thing months later. Now, I've got my addiction of the week:
Sept 2: Megatokyo
Sept 9: Rozen Maiden
Sept 15: Mahoromatic
Huh, I say again and again:
Why was I suggested to watch Da Capo,? What was my friend thinking?
But it's better then that lame PPG anime thing...
Bleach is an awsome anime, and I've been getting into Eureka 7
QuoteWhy was I suggested to watch Da Capo,? What was my friend thinking?
Huh?
Da Capo is an anime...
btw, can anyone give me a few suggestions on anime to watch?
Quote from: "Ultimaninja"Da Capo is an anime...

Watch Nanoha and Nanoha As ^^
Haruhi
Fate/stay Night
Utawarerumono <-- one of the best shows 2006 ;010
Lyrical Nanoha was indeed very good; I especially liked the second season, which is quite unusual for me when it comes to anime.
Coincidentally, I finished watching that aforementioned Nanoha A's just yesterday, and at the moment have no active anime-watching 'projects' underway. ^^;
Nanoha, eh? Too bad I'm still watching Mahoromatic!
Today we witness the triumphant return of Pitkin!
just started nanoha about a week ago... ^^
Going to be watching this:
Shuffle anime after I watch Bleach for awhile...I hope
btw, already saw FSN, awsome imo...ending wasn't that great...
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)
QuoteMahoromatic 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!
Lemme guess...Crappy GAINAX Ending?
right on the head.
Ive just got:
Full Metal Panic - FUMOFFU
Funny as anything, its one of the best comedy anime's out there.
I liked the original, especialy the bits when they are at the school XD
Well...It looks like I've got another series I'm addicted to! My new anime I'm watching is:
*drumroll*
Love Hina
Which makes the list look a little something like this:
Sept. 2: Megatokyo
Sept. 9: Rozen Maiden
Sept. 16: Mahoromatic
Sept. 23: Love Hina
Sept. 30: ???
Watching "Binbou Shimai Monogatari". It's really sugary sweet and sentimental. But I guess we all need some of that now and then. ;)
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.
Ahem.
Jeff is watching...
Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni
Honey and Clover II (There's some nice sentimental stuff there....)
Ouran High School Host Club
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
...and there's more I can't remember at the moment...
I'm watching all of them very slowly, I might add.
Stupid schoolwork and stuff.
I've just recently gotten in BLEACH and Eureka 7. I also love Naruto, FMA, NGE, Love Hina, and like 50 others that i don't think i'll be allowed to name o_o

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 think I'm gonna give Ouran a whirl, underway to me as we speak.
Ive just got Mahoromantic and its brill. Watched episodes 1 to 8 in a single night ;010
lol i wasn't talking about hentai shows, i just ment that it would take a lot of sapce to type out all the shows that i've watched. ;011
I lost count long ago. I've definitely watched too much... I think. If you can actually watch too much anime that is. But I still like it.
There is never ehough, its a shame BitTorrent has its limits or id become Hikkomori...
QuoteIve just got Mahoromantic and its brill. Watched episodes 1 to 8 in a single night
It is quite possibly the greatest anime I've watched (besides Miyazaki's work)!
BTW, what is brill?
UK slang... perhaps...
brill... reminds me of trill, but that can't be it.
Brilliant!

One at a time, eh?
Watching the ol' semi-classics, eh?
I'm going through way too many series at once... can't seem to make much progress in any of them tho...
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!"
;006
=^..^=
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.
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.
;026
=^..^=
That's why Kaffeine rules all! ^v^
BTW, SilentBob, what's the name of the AmigaOS native media player(or players)? 'v'
Since you're an actual user, I desperately need to squeeze you for all lthe info I can get. ^__^
Feel free to reply in a different thread, since this one is purely Anime. ^v^'
Moonlight Lady! Some really weird adult anime series. x.x
Its real confusing, but I started to get it by episode 5. Too bad that was the last file in the torrent. x.x;;
BEWARE THE CAMELLIAS!
QuoteOne at a time, eh?
Watching the ol' semi-classics, eh?

Yep. Though I wouldn't call them semi-classics.
QuoteThank 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.
There are open-source players like Zoomplayer that are better than the crap pawned by MS and Apple.
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
RealPlayer is EVIL. EVIL I SAY!
ahem.
Quote from: "NewYinzer"
Yep. Though I wouldn't call them semi-classics.
then.... highly-popular-and-somewhat-aged anime?
how bout just older anime? ;011
like... Space Battleship Yamato?
lol
no no, let's call it post-Evangelion old anime. XD
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.
;hi
=^..^=
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.
lol media player is has become self-aware ;013
Indeed it has, brougeXP22! Well, it's gone now. Or, rather, it appears to be gone. One never knows what hidden files remain to continue Microsoft's spying.
o_o
=^..^=
it's pretty much impossible to remove. the basic version will always remain behind like an evil baby of doooooomm ;006
Well, I hope MPC doesn't spy on me. At least not according to the firewall logs, so I guess I'm home safe. I can't say for WMP 10 or 11, but I don't use those since they're bloated and ugly.
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!
;hi
=^..^=
I need to get around to Zero no Tsukaima.
VAs are pretty much the same from Shakugan no Shana, which I liked.
Furthermore, Jeff is watching Hellsing. (Added to the mass of incomplete series I've yet to have time to watch)
...an anime marathon is in order in December. ^^
QuoteI need to get around to Zero no Tsukaima.
never watched that show but i've heard good things about it
Yes. My sister has been watching it for a while now, and I need to get to that...
...now it's time for my Ace Combat fanaticism to spill into these forums...
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?
Found a nice youtube thingy.
First one is the original, second one is what I found intriguing.
Ace Combat Zero Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHl9BUj_Iyg
Nanoha A's Combat Zero: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nf-NkV84q8
For these two things to come together like that, it makes me happy. ^^
Is that one of those AMV's I've heard so much about on Wikipedia?
I've been off of anime for too long...my headphones are broken, and it's sorta rude to listen and watch anime while your parents and sister try to spend time together watching the tv...
Ive finished Mahoromatic (both seasons) and am making a start on Onigai Twins and Please Teacher.

Shuffle
Elfien Lied
Da Capo
Bleach
Jing: King of Bandits
Elfen lied is very violent o_o Lol but i own the whole series ^_^
Quote from: "NewYinzer"QuoteIve finished Mahoromatic (both seasons) and am making a start on Onigai Twins and Please Teacher.
Did you enjoy Mahoromatic? I remember watching it several weeks ago, and I loved it!
QuoteIm also going to work on an AMV over the half-term.
I have only one thing to say to that:
Sweet!
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.
Any songs people would like to request? (make new thread please, dont flood this one)

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.
QuoteAny songs people would like to request? (make new thread please, dont flood this one)
One quick suggestion (I won't flood the thread with any more): The A-Team Theme
My absolute favorite AMV I've seen are:
Tainted Doughnuts
FLCL-Mr. Roboto
Now then, I need to watch anime!
Watching bleach and Eureka 7...
Just watching Bartender, when episodes come out. It's a slice-of-life kinda thing.
Speaking of slice-of-life anime, does anyone know if "Azumanga Daioh" is any good?
Yep, at least if you don't mind mild-mannered humor broken out into 10-minute story segments.
Everyone loves Azumanga and so should you. ^v^
(that way, when I start drawing DOSKitty like Kamineko, you'll get the reference. ^___^)
Quid pro quo....
Does anyone know if the following titles are worth an immediate download and/or purchase?
ARIA
Eureka 7
Jigoku Shoujo
Karin
Mai Otome
Noein
Shakugan no Shana
I have not nor have ever downloaded or seen any of those (obscure Good Night and Good Luck reference). You might want to preview them on YouTube and decide for yourself. Or you could download them all without any pity and burn them all to DVD, leaving the leechers without anyone to leech off of!
*comes to senses*
Jeez, I'm starting to sound like Gordon Gekko (obscure Wall Street reference)...
*takes a stress pill (obscure 2001: A Space Odyssey reference)*
...but do what you think is right and let the Force be with you (obscure Star Wars reference).
"Hoe...!" (obscure Card Captor Sakura or Rozen Maiden reference -- take your pick) ^^;
Hoe? You mean one of those things that farmers plough fields with or the people who...
*gets punched in the face (obscure Love Hina reference)*
That Girl: You pervert!
That Guy: Do you want to get some dinner some time (obscure Futurama reference)?
This Guy: Calm down people! Don't panic (double obscure H2G2 reference)!
*giant explosion*
Well, I'll see yinz tomorrow (or rather, later today, from where I'm from)!
Ive just finished watching Onegai Twins, it starts off well but the last 2-3 episodes it loses its value.
Time for Onegai Teacher.....
watch azumanga daio now! like right now! o_o It is filled with goodness! And sometimes cream filling.
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"watch azumanga daio now! like right now! o_o It is filled with goodness! And sometimes cream filling.
I gotta download it :D
I had like eps 1 + 2...
Quote from: "C-Chan"
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
edit: One with subs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBhn42hGCwU&mode=related&search=
*swoons*
And then people ask me why AmigaBob is indispensible. -v-
Not only is his AVI fun to gawk at it....
*stares lovingly* *v*
...but his insight into just about everything is peerless. ^___^
Betcha I can even ask him for the meaning of life and get a straight answer. ^.^
That does it,...
The Hell Girl, Vampire Girl and Fire Girl are SOLD!! ^V^
*looks for torrents*
I'll just be sure to set an even upload/download rate to keep my ratio in the green. Just so no one can call me a leech. -v-
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. ^__^
ARIA can wait a while and I'm already ordering Eureka 7 via cheap DVDs. -v-
girls bravo (1st season) is hilarious! albiet quite perverted but still nice :D
Quote from: "brougeXP22"girls bravo (1st season) is hilarious! albiet quite perverted but still nice :D
Oh my goodness, no! Without exaggeration I can say I've absolutely never seen worse characters in an anime series; the blue-haired whatshisname Yuki-something is completely spiritless, and the so-called female lead (the pink-haired creature, supposedly an 'airhead girl') is about as amusing as a cucumber in a glass jar. Every perverted joke feels forced and the slapstick violence scenes are so tired...
Seriously, Girls Bravo was on the very last position of my anime series ranking back in time before I lost the text file. Can't believe it was ever licensed, that sad series.
Oh yeah, I've nothing against you liking it, brouge-san. :D Just wanted to give the series a second opinion. ^^;
heheheh cucumber in a glass jar....
Finished Onigai Teacher....
Brilliant series apart from the end which gotten a bit slow, just like the sequal Onigai Twins. They are still well worth watching for a mix of romance, drama and comedy.
Just started watching:

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...
That's so typical it, pukifies me... Seriously, where's the fun in that..... Ã,¬____Ã,¬'
Even with all its faults, Vandread handled that particular aspect way better.... Ã,¬vÃ,¬
Okay, I'm sold. ^__^
Girls Bravo sorta sucks. ^v^'
Very well, per Pitkin's back-handed suggestion, I'll push it back on the queue.... -v-

That one's on queue to be watched too. ^__^
I hear that one has an interesting size ratio too. ^.^
Everybody luvs Mizuho-sensei. :smoke:
As for me, I'm thinking of giving Ergo Proxy a try. Looks interesting.
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....
*scribbles down Ergo Proxy and Mai HIME*
Oh, and I do have ROD the TV. Wonderful, but can't say much that's not a spoiler. -v-'
I'm watching Hakuto no ken roah gaiden. and Kinnikuman
Quote from: "C-Chan"No no no, it's not "sairentobobu".

R.O.D.: I would think it would be hard to tell me about it w/o spoilers... I have watched the OVA tho... I found the american dude! kakakaka
Quote from: "SleepyD"J
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;
Yup, I have that one as well. It's subbed, by a group called "Eclipse" I think.
Quote from: "Silentbob"

Ah, I remember those guys... I watched their Fate/stay night subs. Well, off I go!
I'm getting Shana from Eclipse as well. ^v^
BTW, am I being overly nice if I keep allowing a share ratio (as far as torrents go) greater than 1.0?
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."
;018
=^..^=
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.)
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... @___@'
Oh well, you gotta do whatcha gotta do.... -v-
*pops in DVD-R with Jungle wa Itsumo Hare nochi Guu Final episodes*
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. ^^
Wow,... if Final was a disappointment, I can't wait to see the original. The RPG episodes had me rolling.... ^__^
*jots down Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi on list*
Didn't I mention Haruhi in the beginning of this thread? ^^
Also, Jeff has started "Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto"
I wanted to hear the opening theme by FictionJunction YUUKA. And... seems interesting so far.
QuoteDidn't I mention Haruhi in the beginning of this thread? ^^
Maybe, but feeling mighty lazy today. ^v^'
In fact, let me just sit back, have a sip of cold white tea, and wait for recommendations to come to me instead. Fufufu.... ^.^
hmmm i never finished onegai teacher but i did like it. right now i'm watchin naruto, eureka 7, bleach, gantz and i'm re-watching my collection of EVA and bubblegum crisis tokyo 2040 ;036
Ive finaly got the first season of rozen maiden~desu. I watched it all in one night and cried out for more but my connection sucked ~desu.
That remindes me.. i have 120 eps of naruto but ive never seen ANY of it. I should probobly watch those.......
My 500 gig harddrive is about half full with fan subs now.. many I havent seen yet. -_- oh what to do..
*starts scribbling*
- Finish Azumanga Daioh
- Finish Negima
- Watch Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu
- Watch The Place Promised Us In Our Early Days
- Watch Melancholy of Harhui Suzimaya
- See what all the fuss is about Lupin III
Haha, well, then.... who should I blame for indirectly coercing me to dl Rozen Maiden? I have just finished watching it and am now moving on to Traumend
I donno, just finished the second season.. and GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! *pant wheeeze* tho I feel you were wroung C-Chan, Suingintou kicks far more ass the Bara. Sence of style, personality, her love of emo suicide girls. and eye patches are sooo out of style unless your a pirate or a legendary super stealth soldier. And of course no one mentioned it was a cliff hanger!! now i gotta wait for an OVA or movie, or whatever they are gonna do to tie up those loose ends!

BWA-HAHAHAHA!!!!!! ^V^
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-
Oh wait, what am I being blasphemous? ^__^
*mutters 35 Hail Windows as penitance*
In the name of the Prophet, the Goddess and the Holy Kitten.... ^0^
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.
I'm about to watch the first episode of the 2 episode special Rozen Maiden: Overture. :)
Well I just finished the final episode of blacklagoon second season now i'm watching Code geass as well the new boxing series by the maker of saint seiya and i'm watch an anime called History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi.
im so back logged its not even funny -_- i have at leats 50 gigs of stuff I havent watched yet.. like at least 120 eps of naruto..
I really ened to get on that -_-
CaptBrenden, it seems I have the same problem, too. I just can't decide what to watch, for example:
-Rozen Maiden: Traumend
-School Rumble
-Samurai Champloo
-Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu
...and there are more. What should I choose? What should I choose??? ;015
Try Rozen Maiden: Traumend first. It's a classic series.
Thanks for the advice, I'll do that. I liked the first series, so I'm sure this would be great too.
Wow, the second episode of Rozen Maiden Overture is out. What a nice christmas it is. :D
ZOMG! Has it been fansubbed yet?
Yes, I'm watching them subbed. ;010
They should be available from the usual places.
yeah Id recoment the rozen maiden.
and hand it over silent bob.. slowly... also, carefull, I might take your fingers off when i snatch it from you
It looks like a quicksub, so quality may be iffy.
http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/932.html
*quickly withdraws hands and scurries off*
good old animesuki! Well when I get home in the next day or two and i have high speed again i will defintly snatch that up. I hear alot of it is about suigintou! im so geeked!
AmigaBob's the greatest!! ^v^
Currently midway through Shana (AmigaBob's recommendation is also the greatest!), but won't mind taking a break to watch Suiseiseki back in action. ^v^
Thank you AmigaBob! And did I mention yet that you're the greatest?! ^-^
I told you before he wins the interenets. -_-
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"yeah Id recoment the rozen maiden.
Yes, I totally expected that from you... ^_^
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"
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.
Right now I'm gonna try DiGi Charat: Winter Garden. Digi Charat high school drama? No weirdness, and above all, no "nyo"? I'm not sure you could call it Digi Charat then. ;013
thats the one with all the weird cat eared girls isnt it? i havent seen it but a friend of mine has a bunch of those pvc figs for it
must... get.. oveture >_<
*breaths* soon.. soon I will have highspeed again..
It's the Suigintou lovers dream. ;010
Dang, I must watch it again. :p
MUST GET OUVERTURE.... ~DESU!!! @__@
Later tonight I'll be screening the first episode of Code Geass. If I like it, I'll acquire the second episode; and if I don't like it, I won't bother watching any subsequent episodes.
What I don't like: annoying male characters, annoying music, big-jaw artwork, biological excretions or secretions, diapers, dick girls, disintegrating clothing, female characters in frilly clothing, flat-butt artwork, girly-male artwork, heroin-addict artwork (anorexic males), mecha, maids, male-superiority formulae, mouth-too-small artwork, nuns, nurses, old-fashioned-panties artwork, pointed-chin artwork, ridiculously-large-breasts artwork, schoolgirl uniforms, tentacles, yaoi.
What I like: artwork which indicates ability to depict correct human anatomy, non-submissive female characters, sexy clothing for females, yuri.
;hi

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.
Darknight, I love that "noodle-people syndrome" term! I'll put it alongside my "flat-butt syndrome" term, for future reference.
;010

WHAT? you havent seen Rozen Maiden Traumend? I ughta bolt you to a chair till you watch it!! Then lazyness wont be an excuse!!

Quote from: "CaptBrenden"WHAT? you havent seen Rozen Maiden Traumend?
mmmm....nope
QuoteI ughta bolt you to a chair till you watch it!! Then lazyness wont be an excuse!!
mmm....well...what about studying for the final exams and writing a dumb (but large...at least for my actual knowledge) in Pascal? That'd be an excuse.
Quote*twitches in anticipation of oveture, especialy after the coments about it being a suigintou lovers dream*
Suigintou? REALLY????
Well...As Suigintou is my favourite Rozen Maiden (I was also waving for the Empire to crush the rebellion in Star Wars :D)...then I guess that'd be a good reason to watch Traumend (so I can understand Overture)
Yes, another person that rooted for the empire! go darth! go Boba!
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-
*starts zoning out*
Wha...?
What did yinz just say about fanservice?
*zoned out* I dunno,.... '__'
I kinda lost half my brain typing all that, so your guess is as good as mine... ^___^;
*zones out*
Wha...what did you say about me getting electroshock treatment?
*zoned out* Oh that,... apparently DR-DOS is pretending to be Nurse Ratchet again and wants you zapped. I'd do as she says, cause it'll only be worse if you make her force you. ^^;
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.
QuoteI do believe that you may have found the demeanor for the relatively unknown DR-DOS!
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.
(To trick the consumer into thinking Studio Ghibli is a Disney subsidiary, I'm sure..... -v-')
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?

That's strange, Cap'n. :( But I tested just now and I can connect to both seeds and peers. However, I'll see if I can dig up another torrent for ya.
well as it refused to connect the 3 hours I was up after I got here.. It connected over night and downloaded both! now Im off to watch them! Ialso need to have something new to download now..
I just finished watching Rozen Maiden Overture...
Suigintou...T_T
She is so wonderful I love her...I wanna touch her.. but I cant...
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.
and your Yakut drinking gin avi is so awsome!!

Please address the characters by their correct names:
STINKU, not Shinku

-_- well yes.. stinku. Tho I was under the impression that that was the name of the little alcohol producing creature that looks like the treacherous vixen in red that shall not be named that hangs around 95 kun.
Eeeee I want a little gin I can pet with my finger! that would be better then having akitten!
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*

=^..^=
humm i dont see it on anime suki.. must be licenced. where did you find the torrent?
I usually go to Boxtorrents, they got whacha need. :smoke:
Captain, I think I found it via the BitTorrent search engine under the name "Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya." It's one big torrent containing 14 torrentettes.
;011 <---- Clever disguise to confuse The Monitors (if they're watching)
=^..^=
to confuse the monitors...
when your talking to one....
uh huh.... someones been into the crack laced cat nip.
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 :(
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.
Quote from: "Aurora Borealis"Now Rozen Maiden is my favorite anime! Just got done watching episode 9.
oh man are you in for a treat if you love it after 9 eps, the series just keeps getting better! :D
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"I really need a new series to get adicted too.. or im not gonna survive the wait for a third season of Rozen maiden.
I hear that :( I'm happy enough collecting Rozen Maiden fanart in the meantime though XD
Pipiripiripirpipiripi....
Pipiripiripirpipiripi....! ^0^
Why did I suddenly have the urge to sing that. ^^'
*stares at Nidas*
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-

yeah I've seen DearS, watched the anime and currently reading the manga :P works better as an anime imo, so its kinda like the opposite of Chobits in that respect, despite their obvious similarities otherwise lol

tsundere, tsundere, its AWWWWRIGHT! Desu is probably my second fav character from Rozen Maiden, Gin being my obvious fav :D
The one and only.... -v-

The Bell Labs Unix OS-tan that I'm drawing is inspired by her design. It's nice to know that I'll be drawing some indirect fanart of Claes-sama. ^___^

Well I gotta say, personally I prefer Triela :p Claes is cool too though. Make sure to post your pic when its done ;P
Will do, but you can also check my Annex, where I have most of my new OS-tans (and those of others) posted up.
http://ostan-collections.net/viewtopic.php?t=231
Though some of my later drawings are strewn all over the forum -- need to finish and . Gotta finish and archive them definitively ^^'
c-chan.. your a shameless self promoter. -_-
To settle the record tho... Henrrietta is the best. and Nidas, you will have to zip all your fanarts and send em to me.
I will also try that series you saggested C-Chan. BTW, you might want to look into getting a beating angle for yourself, cus youll need it when we start making sammiches from you.
I be a Henrietta fan myself.
It just reminded me that it has been a while since I watched GSG now, and with it being in my top 5 favourite animes, I should be flogged for it. ;014
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
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"and Nidas, you will have to zip all your fanarts and send em to me.
CRAZY TALK! XD That would seriously take ages :p I am slowly sorting my folders though, one day I'll probably make a zip of the best of them.

yeah I really want Desu to get with Jun :p Curse Stinku, ruining everyones fun Ã,¬_Ã,¬
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.
;014
=^..^=
delicious cakes that you must eat?
Thank you for the suggestion, Captain! You're certainly free to take away as much of this cake as you'd like.
;110
=^..^=
But are you going to have ice cream with that?
From what I've seen, Suiseiseki and Shinku do seem to be the most likely to be paired up with Jun. But I'd hope it be Suiseiseki because she and Jun would make a wonderfully crazy couple! :D
at the risk of sounding like pitkin...(aka, a perv XD) I must say there would be much rough hate and make up sex if those two became a "couple"
tho thanks to the interenets its not like we really have to wonder.
*tries to get thread back on track*
Now that we've got our fill of cake, I'd just like to say that I've finished Mahou Sensei Negima and Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu. As for Negima, it was a quality anime with an abrupt ending. As for FMP, I really enjoyed it. It provided enough violence, fanservice, and comedy to deliver an almost perfect series. As for my next series, I'm gonna start watching Azumanga Daioh again.
*reads last post*
Pitkin? Perverted? What are ya talking about?
D'OH...licious cake Added after 8 minutes:

Lol this thread is moving wwaaayyyy off topic but it's not necesserialy a bad thing ;054 ANYWAY, i'm watching This ugly yet beautiful world. It's good!!! ;010
Well I recently finished Black Lagoon's second season. Great series :D
Next up is Blue Submarine No. 6. At some point I still have to finish Chobits and Ergo Proxy though =/
[hurriedly] Watching Ultimate Girl,...!!!! Stupidest thing I've ever seen in recent memory, but BY GAAAAAAAAAWD now THAT'S what I call C-chan-Approved FAN SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!! ^V^
*laughs and nosebleeds maniacally*
*runs off back to replay certain scenes*
Nidas, I'm impressed by the fact you're going to screen
Blue Submarine No. 6! Please give my best regards to
Mutio, who's one of my all-time favorite characters in the anime genre.
Mutio's the Nereid with the red eyes.:love:
=^..^=
I'm gonna watch the new Shakugan no Shana OVA. Just finished downloading.
Oooh,... new Shana OVA. ^___^
Speaking of which,... would you say she kinda looks like Shana-chan...?
http://www.verytragicalmirth.com/Images/MacOS7.png
*sweatdrops* Yahari.... -v-;
Well, perhaps there's a passing resemblance... ^^;;;
But it's absolutely lovable. Internets for C-Chan please! ;010
Ultimate girls rocks XD I just watched that too. Sailor Moon would be alot more interesting if her outfit dissapeard slowly as the battle goes on :P
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.

:p I've watched 2 eps so far, and yeah shes my fav character too at the moment :D Off to watch the rest now ;P
I just finished watching episode 12 of Rozen Maiden and am ready to start watching Rozen Maiden Traumend! I was at the edge of my seat waiting for later on in the episode if it is revealed that
**SPOILERS** whether Suigintou survived the fight. I hope she does. Her causes of fighting turned out to be righteous and she's a cool character too! But I guess that's one of the things the second season is for!
Oh, by the end of Oveture, you will be inlove with her :P But hurry up yous!

SOMEONE GET ME MORE MEGAPIXELS!!!!!!!! M0AR!!!!!!! >O<
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!!

I have no ideas what this show is about, but this must be fun ;010
* Exa puts Ultimate Girl on his "need to download" list *
You do that. ^___^
"Fun" probably best describes the series, although I could've thought up 101 ways to make it "Fun-er". ^w^
*lecherous laugh*
*snapshot snapshot snapshot*
You know, I'm so suspicious about every 101/200/500/1000/X ways to make something better/cheaper/whatever things. ;054
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
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
*reads CaptBrenden's descripton *
I MUST GET IT! I MUST GET IT!!! :D
However, I also need to finish Traumend, too...
BTW, I realized why Rozen Maiden is so wonderful - it's humorous and dramatic, each one at the proper time!

I'll try, but I don't have too much time nowadays - so I can go only 1ep/day...
FINISH IT NOW! Gin-sama Commands it!
Well chances are that the place you go to Nidas is like anime suki, they dont torrent licenced shows.. and bleach is now licences. I saw the first disc in the store just the other day.

well it was a direct download site, one day the site just disappeared =/ Neko Downloads or something I think it was called. Direct download sites are so common these days that unless I really want something (like Overture :p) then I just direct download it rather than torrent. Saves on the bandwidth lol
and you get it faster -_-
Quote from: "NewYinzer"It looks like a few people here are watching the same thing. Feel free to talk about it. I'll be here, sipping S. Pellegrino.
San Pellegrino mineral water, or San Pellegrino Bitter?
Finally!! I finished Traumend!! However, this not seem so closed... I think they should create a third series. But anyway, it was great to watch!
Quote from: "Exa"Finally!! I finished Traumend!! However, this not seem so closed... I think they should create a third series. But anyway, it was great to watch!
I would be very surprised if there isn't a S3, especially after Overture :D Can't wait XD
Currently watching Ergo Proxy. Great series, with a great cast and great OST but the story isn't for everyone; its one of those animes which messes with your head 0_o
oh and ZOMG forums back :P
QuoteSan Pellegrino mineral water, or San Pellegrino Bitter?
The mineral water. These days, you can get twelve 750 mL bottles at Sam's Club for $10!
As for anime...I just finished the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and I agree with most polled in Japan, it is one of the greatest animes ever! Once the torrent finishes downloading, I'll be knee deep in Azumanga Daioh!
apperently that ones been licenced, so Ill wait for the US release. I abide by the fan sub rules -_-
After that references on this forum, I started Ultimate Girls . All I can say is ... stunning. Usually, I'm not a fan of those "monster-of-the-day" type stories, but this time, I totally lol'd! ;010 The combination of parody elements and hm... not so mistakable moments results in falling me from the chair because of laughing!
told ya.
Started watching Ayashi no Ceres, which I've had lying around for the past coupla years, but never gotten around to getting started on.
Bless you Exa. ^__^
Oh, and AmigaBob,... finished watching Shana. You were right, very very good series, although why am I not surprised that the ending was both rushed AND a cliffhanger.... ^^'
I just recently finished Jigoku shoujo....
damn that was good o_o
im looking forward to watching the second season.
i like 13-26 episode series, it seems like long series tend to have lots of high and low spots, though monster was good all the way
could anyone recommend a good anime series? preferably something mysterious or scary :/

I just finished watching Ergo Proxy (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5115), sounds like you would enjoy it :p Its 23 eps long btw
Ano,.. Zentraedi-san.... -v-'
Might be premature here, but,... by any chance.... have you watched Rozen Maiden yet? ^__^'
That's like a prereq around here. ^__^;
If you have, good for you! ^v^
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. ^______^

And what's it about? A little description could clear my mind. And if it worth watching , I could put it on my "need to watch" list.

he story takes place in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
In spring, a mysterious student transfers to Magami Academy. His name is Hiyu Tatsuma. Then, he meets Horaiji Kyoichi of the kendo club, Daigo Yuya of the wresting club, Sakurai Komaki of the kyudo (Japanese archery) club, and Misato Aoki who is the student leader, as if they were attracted by something. Being influenced by Ryumyaku or Dragon Vein, which became active suddenly, they are awakened as ââ,¬Å"persons who posses powersââ,¬Â. Since that day, monsters called ââ,¬Å"Oniââ,¬Â appear and begin to assault Tokyo. Also, those who use evil power to control Oni appear. To protect Tokyo from them, Tatsuma and his friend stand up to fight. Then, they have to face their destinyââ,¬Â¦.

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)
;019
=^..^=
Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpucho: I'll look into it. It seems to already have a following due to the games....
El-Hazard: ah, one of the older ones I've heard so much about but never watched.....
And for everyone else, if you haven't watched Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, you really should. I freaked out a few young relatives of mine at Christmas and now they're probably spreading the word. XD

great series that :D Rika ftw >:3 That reminds me, I need to get back on with reading the manga
-_- i just started watching naruto.. i honestly cant see what the big deal is so far...
I'm actually watching Death Note, Bleach, One Piece, Jigoku Shoujo, Nana and Busou Renkin.
i love bleach, it starts out slow but it gets really good
Well I WAS watching Futakoi Alternative until there was a translators note and I realised I was actually watching a sequel to another season -_- Sadly when I watched the first ep of Futakoi Original it turned out to be a yawn-inducing harem anime. Back to Futakoi Alternative for me :D
About Naruto, I watched one ep of that and gave up. It basically seemed like Pokemon but without Brock. And we all know Brock was the only thing that made Pokemon worthwhile ;)
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"-_- i just started watching naruto.. i honestly cant see what the big deal is so far...
Keep watch what part are you on the begining is really slow it's gets just as good as bleach does.
Quote from: "Spysweeper"Keep watch what part are you on the begining is really slow it's gets just as good as bleach does.
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.
'Tis good anyway. Though just about to start on the filler material, so I hope that doesn't mean a huge nosedive... ;014
Currently Watching:
- Code Geass
- D.Gray-man
- Eyeshield 21
- Galaxy Angel Rune (Where are the fansubs? I want my Apricot T_T)
- Prince of Tennis
- Sumomomo Momomo
- Mamoru-kun ni Megami no Shukufuku wo!
I want to watch Death Note, but I like the live-action movie more than the anime. Don't ask why. <.<
Well i stopped watching bleach and naruto a few months back, maybe i just got tired of watching. it'll take some time before i continue both.
Many Thanks to Nidas and C-Chan
i looked into ergo proxy and rozen maiden and both looked very interesting. i'll be watching both in a few weeks i just have to finish my work.
yeah rozen maiden was good you should also check out a new anime that is similar to os-tan it's about girls that fly with air plain parts as their legs.
http://s-witch.cute.or.jp/ here's alink to the site.
aaah mecha museum stuff nooooooooo *hides*
hahaha, Strike Witches.. that does look interesting and at the same time, wierd.. ;026
thanks for the info spysweep
naruto better pick up fast or im gonna stop -_- bleach hooked me pretty fast.. it just got GOOD later... this.. isnt catching me at all.
I'm not fond of Mecha Musume either.
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!
you did aroura :D ep 6? the good one? :D :D :D :D with megu and gin and the awsome snowy music scean? that ep 6? :D
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"naruto better pick up fast or im gonna stop -_- bleach hooked me pretty fast.. it just got GOOD later... this.. isnt catching me at all.
What part are you on please tell me your not watching the dubs please cause they totally mess the series up. and well if you stop thats your thing everybody has their own taste I guess.
ATTENTION NARUTO WATCHERS (those of you following the current japanese one)
the fillers are officially said to end after the current filler-arc with the sand ninjas...supposedly this would mean 2 more episodes but i am not too sure it might take 3 or 4 more episodes
After this naruto will start post-timeskip
you know.. the whole dub vs sub debate that everyone gets so passionate about.. i could give a rats ass.. i like it either way.
subs are better...dubs sound like idiots in my opinion with the way they talk XD not just their voices but it's their acting
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"you did aroura :D ep 6? the good one? :D :D :D :D with megu and gin and the awsome snowy music scean? that ep 6? :D
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?
well she thought she was a dark angel there to take her away.. but when someone extends their hand like that.. its kinda implied what your soppose to do
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.
i like listening to it in my native language too.. since i dont speak japanese yet. thats a huge plus
Quote from: "Xyanide"subs are better...dubs sound like idiots in my opinion with the way they talk XD not just their voices but it's their acting
Agreed
i just think it matters which you watch first.. if you watch the dub first.. the sub will sound funny, if you watch the sub first the dub will sound funny
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!
how long till the rozen maiden us release? anyone know?
Rozen Maiden has a dub?! No way!
And I'm surprised that Haruhi is liscenced because of the trademark infringements of Haruhi being dressed like a Playboy bunny reguarly
i heard it was getting licenced by genon
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.
;026
=^..^=
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.
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.
;006
=^..^=
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
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.
;011
=^..^=
I saw a 8 minute preview(?) of Strike Witches. As far as I know, it's an OVA, but what is it's (current) length? The conception seems interesting, but technology + magic is kinda "What the hell?" for me.
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

hearing Raging Heart (or whatever the hell its called) talk still makes me cringe. Graf Eisen is superior >:3
Stand by, Ready~
You know Raging/Raising Heart's voice really reminds me of the voice in Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere....
I doubt any of you have played it, but it was the voice that goes "Mission Accomplished" "Mission Failed" and "Bullseye" and stuff.

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.

Ah yes the Belkans. They appeared in Ace Combat 5 and then Zero.
The Belkans are like Nazi Germany, only the war occurred in 1995. ^^

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 ).
Belkans =/= Nazi Germany? They're making the link even more intentional... ;018

After i watched Rozen Maiden (all episodes)
(I watched many animes series before rozen Maiden but i won't say which once because it's a very very long list...)
I don't know what i can watch and i was in some kind of way frustrated (my parents thought i was ill)... but Suddenly i 'm on a Gundam and SRW (Super Robot War) tripp
and right now i have about 200 Episodes to watch ^^ YeEHHAAHAHAHAHA haha i'm on a watching Trip again ^^

I must be getting old. Maybe
I'm already old and haven't

Not much to watch this season (at least, not much that appeals to me). Death Note seems too dark for my taste.
Waiting for the second season of Haruhi, second season of Zero No Tsukaima and Nanoha Strikers. A third season of Black Lagoon would be fine too.

Lucky Sousuke, he gets his AS destroyed and he gets this thing as a prize.
Is that from the novels or from a magazine? Any hopes that this is the prelude for a new season?
It's from the novels, so don't hold your breath for a third season just yet. But with so much material, like the Laevatein's awesome singehanded battle against a group of Codarls and a Behemoth, it'll be extremely stupid of them not to make a third season.

And lots of people would tell you Nanoha A's is awesome (the first battles alone will hook you in ).
I'm one of those people. Nanoha A's battles are AWESOME
Quoted for truth.
yeah I'm one of those people too :D The first season sucked so hard though, dunno how I made it through it >_< The extra characters in the second series (especially Vita) really saved the series imo. But CCS is still better :p Fake CCS is faaaaaake.
Anyway, currently watching Haruhi, currently on ep 9
Which episode 9? "Someday in the Rain" or "Remote Island Syndrome: Part 1"? BTW, your sig reminds me of something Haruhi might say...
*laughs like a 30 year old salaryman*
Yeah...that show brings back a lot of good memories. I remember when I was trapped back in 1987...
*zones out*
That Guy: No wonder this circuit failed. It says "Made In China".
NewYinzer: What are you talking about? All the greatest stuff is made in China!
*comes back to reality*
If you can guess that reference, you get 10,000 potatoes. They're redeemable for some cool prizes. Like a cave cricket, or a monkey, or a pig, or a horse, or a manatee.
Quote from: ThurosisI always watch animes which contains (female) robots (not those gaints)/cyborgs/android/Dolls/A.I. (for short: artificial girls)
(That's why i like OS-Tan and Rozen Maiden) ^_^
Do anyone know more anime/game titles which contains artificial girls?
Add Solty Rei to the list.
Quote from: NidasBut CCS is still better Fake CCS is faaaaaake.
*Blasts nidas with Arc-En-Ciel and Triple Breaker combo*
CCS and Nanoha shouldn't even be compared to each other, since they both have their own good points, and they both lack in certain departments, and both are still awesome despite of it XD
Anime that i watch now....
hm......right now i'm watching Scrapped Princess.
But i prefer any anime with Mecha, and medieval (fantasy) theme.....but i like anime with love comedy.
Can anyone suggest me what to watch next.
Quote from: NewYinzerWhich episode 9? "Someday in the Rain" or "Remote Island Syndrome: Part 1"? BTW, your sig reminds me of something Haruhi might say...
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.

The only fault CCS has is Tomoyo doesn't get a happy ending ;_; I think I might rewatch it soon actually :D Anyway its easy to compare the two cos Nanoha is such a blatent rip off :p
Quote from: NidasThe only fault CCS has is Tomoyo doesn't get a happy ending ;_; I think I might rewatch it soon actually :D Anyway its easy to compare the two cos Nanoha is such a blatent rip off :p
Only in the first three episodes, which really gave me a CCS vibe (not exactly a bad thing mind you).

Oh! I forget to add that Anime to the List ! (thanks! but i watched it already, it's my fault)
Haruhi is licenced isn't it? Oh you disappoint me Nidas... -_- you have strayed from the path of righteousness
Haruhi isn't licenced in germany
btw in Germany there a lot of animes arn't licenced (lucky for me hehehe...)
but since i have the money because (i work at a hotel) I import it from Hong Kong because it is pretty cheaper! I buy it about 10 times cheaper/lower price!
In Germany i would pay the price for 1 DVD (always 3 episodes) 34,95€ in HK converted about 3,50€ (for VCD not DVD)
I just finished Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's (huh, long title :D)
I'm not disappointed, I got what I wanted - overpowered spells, great fights, some interesting plot twists... And the 3rd series is coming soon... (2 months, I think)
right now i'm watching "Death Note"
do someone know about this serie? ^_^
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
Recently I watch Midori no Hibi and Bottle fairyes.They are cute anime ^_^ I like the character desighn ;003
Next I think I will watch Petit Cosette and Tsukihime :) I little too horror for me,but stil... :)
I prepared myself for a long trip - I watch Ranma 1/2! (I already finished one season - six more to go+OVAs+Movies) One thing is sure - The lol-factor is soooo high :D
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.
Ah Ranma 1/2 XD I love that show, that was one of my big addictions a while a go -_- I got all 7 seasons and ovas.. still need the movies. But your right.. its got a big lol factor
RANMA!! Shampoo galore!!
yeah, the full metal panic fumoffu was nicely dubbed. i just want to change sagara's voice a little just a little
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
Currently following till the next episode of Code Geass comes out:
Super Robot Wars Original Generation: Divine Wars (Valsione FTW; unfortunately subs only till 13)
Air (DL dl...)
Asatte no Houkou (Episode 4, good series so far, now if only the torrents will cooperate... -_-;; )
Right now I'm into a lot of anime.
Let's just say,
Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight
Kanon
Saint October
Venus Versus Virus
Keroro Gunsou
Code Geass : Hangyaku no Lelouch

I'm watching Makai Senki Disgaea at the moment, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone who likes less than serious fantasy anime (Slayers anyone?)
I got off my butt and started watching FLCL. I'll tell yinz, that is some crazy sh*t. And I like it.
Currently downloading:
Kanon
Gunslinger Girl
Bleach
-_- bloody pirate. Gunslinger deserves you spending money on it. Or henrietta will come to yourhouse with a P90 and shoot you.. alot.
So as to promote more of the awesomeness called Code Geass here:
CC and Lelouch's various outfits (http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/5921/animageformatiiccandlelpp2.jpg)
currently watching this screen, the last anime i watched was Naruto earlier today.
I finished xxxHOLiC last week and right now I'm on epidsode 10 of Disgaea. I was thinking of starting on the Melancholy of Harui Suzayami, but I never really got around to it... ^_^;;
Quote from: "::RenRen::"right now I'm on epidsode 10 of Disgaea.
Is Disgaea any good? I was thinking of watching it but I've heard really mixed reviews of it =/
Finished Strawberry Panic. Probably go back to Tsukuyomi now. Also watching Hidamari Sketch and Happiness! but both are still being subbed so its slow going -_- Maybe I'll just rewatch Cardcaptor Sakura xD
Sorry Leviatan... as awsome as that concept art was its streached the boarders even on my highres widescreen lap top.. thus.. out of policy for non picture threads
I'm now watching Code Geass, Shuffle! Memories, and Tokimeki.

I'm also watching Code Geass. In fact, Code Geass is the only series I'm watching this season o_o
So, Haruhi and Higurashi already have a thread of their own...what about a Code Geass one? :D
Have a Zero Vista:

(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3195/1169419425828am2.jpg)
A Code Geass thread is a good idea XD So it this:

That Zero Vista though is not T_T
Episode 20?
lol @ lelouch face.
so she was really piloting a knightmare...O_O

It's weird...Knightmares are high-tech weapons...so how is it possible that Lelouch is able to pilot one without training?
...
I'm guessing that there aren't any Guren MK II High-res pics on the Internet, rite? Can't find any -_-

Also, lol @ cover-chef-hat & CC. Long chef-hat is looooooooooong
According to various interviews, Lelouche DID have Knightmare Frame training, as part of his plans long before he got the Geass. I think the details will be revealed in future references.
And here's a recolored Guren Nishiki for ya:

I'll try to find the original lineart in a short while ^^
And Rivalz and his hat are the only thing that needs to go in that pic... it's WAAAY too long, it's covering up the view T_T
I'm watching the remake of Negima It's really good so far.
Told ya. it dosent follow the original story very much but it is pretty funny and is presented in an interesting way
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.
wow o_o thats quite the review....
i'm not currently watching any anime, but I am reading a manga.
Damn Salad Days.... Can't stop reading..... tears..... can't stop....reading. ;161
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.
Just picked up the last 3 discs to the dubbed 1st series of negima so ill be watching that now. Ive also picked up a few discs of FMA which im going to re watch. that series is awsome. -_- why do i always like the ones that do the most fucked up stuff to their characters?
Because only anime with grand fanbase and lots of quality and good stuff and regular awesomeness can do so without completely being wiped out by rabids.
Just finished Samurai Champloo, that serie is erm... special if I may. I'm downloading Shakugan no shana an Chrno Crusade. I'm hoping those two will be fun.
Haven't watched any anime for the past few months, but today I watched the first episode of the new Ichigo Mashimaro OVA. Because that series rocks. :D
Ara! New guy! Hey, why don't you head over to the MIT and present yourself, Gummssu?
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)
watched the end of negima again.. they redrew alot of sceans in it. I forgot how emotional some of those final eps were -_- like sayos ep. Still dosent make up for the horrible dubbing and casting.
Moving on to rewatching FMA now
I'm watching Gun Buster 2 again. Man that had one of the saddest endings I know.
Afte that I'll probably watch Code Geass, I heard it has a lot of Fanservice is that true ?
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)
And... Lelouch commands you to Watch Code Geass Now, WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH!!!! ;025
Theres only couple I really like..Inuyasha, Black cat, and Gokusen lol
I have watched Gokusen too :D
Me and my freind have downloaded all of the few subbed episodes of Pokemon; Diamond and Pearl. Yeah, I've been a pokemon fan since..
Finished watching Elemental Gelade, shorts series though
Tenisu no Ã...Å'jisama (Prince of Tennis), kinda repeat the series again, but one of my favorites.
Currently I'm also into Tokyo Tribe 2...
watching exel saga... my mind hurts...
lol, that makes me want to watch it even more.
I hear randomness abounds in that show... ^^
Quote from: "Lord Ilpalazzo"THIS WORLD IS CORRUPTED!!!

I just started watching ONE PIECE subs really good series so far.
Watching Manabi Straight. Its epic lulz all round, but has barely any plot :p Typical school slice-of-life anime I guess but the characters and art really make it a great anime imo
Karas, Naruto: Shippuden, code geass and such
Just downloaded Manabi Straight too.. on someones recomendation.. havent watched any yet
I watch Bleach, naruto, busou renkin, Chocotto Sister, D.Gray-man, Ghost Hunt, Hitman reborn, Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori, Kanon, Kekkashi, kiba, Konjiki no Gash Bell, Mahoraba - Heartful Days, pumpkin sissors, and recently ful metal panic TSR...
I got more anime from my friends and i plan to watch even more ^_^
Well, I picked a recent series at random to watch and the choice fell on Nodame Cantabile. I like how they focus on something serious like music while still keeping a light comedic atmosphere. Ayako Kawasumi of Mahoromatic fame (among other series) provides the female lead voice.
I started Watching Death Note the other day so far it's great, almost exactly like the manga though so there weren't so much new things for me.
I have quite a backlog of anime to watch...
Honey and Clover II, Ouran Host Club, FMA, FMP... and couple others I'm blanking out on.
Oh, my sig details a couple others in the future that may pique my interest. ^^ Two of which are movies.... Sometimes those don't go very well, but Kino, I think can easily be made into a good movie.
Code Geass, up to episode 22... waah, she's gone nuts! That's why you should never trust someone as good as Lulu....
I just started watching prince of tennis this series is really good so far I love it.

Nanoha StrikerS Preview CM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBm8CqzWUmc&mode=related&search=)
*Watches 20 more times for awesomeness*
I've been watching Excel Saga, Initial D, and Great Teacher Onizuka recently. Good stuff.
GTO!! :D :D and exel saga hurts my head o_o
rewatching FMA, in english this time. gawd that series is so great yet so fucked up
Currently, I'm watching this awesome scene:

From Nanoha StrikerS episode 1. I mean, Subaru's looks like a closet mecha otaku with all her Super Robot homages (this one is for
BROKEN PHANTOM!!!!! XD)
And for those people who were complaining about lack of loli in StrikerS, not only do you have Caro, but we also have a new pic of one of the antagonists, named Lutecia:
currently:
Hayate no Gotoku and
Seto no Hanayome
^^
still watching manabi strait.. and gawd is it cute XD so moe im gonna die!
I just finished watching scraped princess, and I have to say it was one of the better ones that i have seen in a while it was just the sort of thing I was needing to find

Code geass 22 & 23...
ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO ZERO
ZEROOMG, 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

damn straight! :D
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.
Side Note: Even though we're not on the same line, I liked how you argue. You confirmed your opinion, and you don't use some poor "OMG ITS OVERRATED IT SUCKS"-style "proving". Constructive criticisms are welcome!
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:
Negima! Magister Negi Magi

Super Robot references? o_o I'm not very experienced in Super Robot stuffs, but this sounds cool. Anyway, I like that magician "army" system they have. And I lol'd on "Nanohaverse" :D
Just watching 1st episodes from random series. (To see what they're like).
Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu, Claymore, Hidamari Sketch are the latest.
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

Quote from: "Silentbob"...Hidamari Sketch are the latest.
great series, easily in my top 5 animes ever actually :D If anyone feels like watching it, I've uploaded the current eps here (http://pinochan.net/anime/Hidamari%20Sketch/)
Jigoku Shoujo.
Quote from: "Nidas"
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
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.
Quote from: "Nidas"
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.

If I'm not making any sense, its because I'm tired and caffeinated, never a good combo :p
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.
shocking to say but i'm finally going to be watching Rozen Maiden and Haruhi......
I normaly watch eather Cowboy Bebop or Ghost in the Shell. I find myself more drawn towards the Sci-fi/Cyberpunk genre.
Quote from: "zjhentohlauedy"shocking to say but i'm finally going to be watching Rozen Maiden and Haruhi......
Maa, better late than never, i guess! Haruhi is TEEEH awesomeness! (I'm such an addict i've even loaded the six chronologically first eps onto my iPod :D)'
I've also started watching the brand new Lucky Star anime from KyoAni, where we get to see moar shiny Hirano Aya goodness. Honestly, she's got to be one of the best seiyuu i've ever seen...
Quote from: "NejinOniwa"Quote from: "zjhentohlauedy"shocking to say but i'm finally going to be watching Rozen Maiden and Haruhi......
Maa, better late than never, i guess! Haruhi is TEEEH awesomeness!
That's true! !!
ROZEN MAIDEN IS GREAT!!!!! XD XD XD
Right now i'm watching betterman (and i'm going to watch utawarerumono after betterman)
But my favourite genre are: Fantasy, Drama, and Sci-Fi
Well, I'm currently watchin Keroro Gunsou, and some good ol'One Piece (I was watching Naruto but I got tired of it...)
Quote from: "Thurosis"(and i'm going to watch utawarerumono after betterman)
Utawarerumono? Great choice! (And a hard title to pronounce XD) Currently I finished the 13th episode, very good, with interesting plot twists... After finishing this series, I think I'll go on Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (another long title :D)
Also, I'm waiting for Nanoha StrikerS' new episodes.
Side question: I heard something about that Lucky Star series. Is it good/worth watching?
I finally got around and watched Rozen Maiden, both seasons. Although weird, it's seriously good, and fun to watch. I guess I wont be able to watch animé in a while, since I'm finally home after a while of travelling and the internet connection here sucks, unless I buy some of course.
Quote from: "Exa"Side question: I heard something about that Lucky Star series. Is it good/worth watching?
Lucky Star is most superlative. It has a very high humor content.
well at least I know now what homer would look like as a pimp -_-
Been thinking of watching that hell girl series.. it was recomended to me. Anyone else seen it? is it good?
Quote from: "Teknoboksi"
Lucky Star is most superlative. It has a very high humor content.
Okay, my question lost its original meaning, since I watched the first two episode, and I must agree with you. ;010
I stop watching betterman (after episode 6or was ist 7?) because it is one of the worsest anime that i ever watched -.-
I have the feeling that that anime want to be a "great" horror anime but stuck/lacks somewhere -.-
And i watched the first episode from utawarerumono and i must this anime GREAT ^^
I want to touch Eruruu tail too XD She is so cute and lovely XD³
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"well at least I know now what homer would look like as a pimp -_-
Been thinking of watching that hell girl series.. it was recomended to me. Anyone else seen it? is it good?
Jigoku Shoujo is good. yesh. ^^
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:
sola
Lucky Star
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;
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"
Been thinking of watching that hell girl series.. it was recomended to me. Anyone else seen it? is it good?
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.
Added after 49 minutes: Holy... Gurren Lagann is SO up my alley XD *DL's episode 2*
ALL MUST WATCH LUCKY STAR AND ABIDE TO THE AWESOMENESS THAT IS HIRANO AYA + KONATA-SSU!
CAPS ARE THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
BUT EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL, YOU STILL HAVE TO STEER
'doh. ^_^
Also, some new stuff in my Queue is Nanoha (1) and Black Jack.
watching haruhi and going to start rozen maiden. I'm still unable to watch haruhi straight on. i can't seem to get in momentum...
I'm also watching japanorama... oops off topic.
Id love to watch haruhi but Im not a pirate -_- so i must wait.
just finished haruhi... well i can't say i loved it, but well it was ok.
the only thing that made me laugh so hard was the phoenix right impression.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHSH!! They'll hear you!! <_< >_>
Everyone don't scroll back up!
It's just a precaution..
nobody look at the post above
If you do your eves will pop out and you won't be able to watch haruhi ever again!!
*sneaks away with life still in tact!*
Quote from: "Nidas"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......
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....
Quote from: "zjhentohlauedy"just finished haruhi... well i can't say i loved it, but well it was ok.

o_o ;013 ;014 You better start runnin' ;025
Well of course that was a joke. I also didn't think Haruhi to be that funny, I just fancied the oh so charming story and well made characters. Plus I read the novel on a previous occasion so I wanted see how the animé was.
oh noes! i see a fissure forming worse then the gin/desu alliance days o_o
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...
Lex Luther "Cakes?! Like how many cakes? like 40 of them?!"
ahem. Since i have not seen haruhi, I soppose there is a 4th group, me and my space marines will support the 3.1-Gin coallition forces.
Better equip myself too...

* scratches head *
Oh well, then I will create a fifth group, from some Renegade GINists who joined the new and fast expanding Lucky Star-ism!
This is madness!
No!
This is... GIN-STAR !!!
Note: GIN-STAR is not a faction who attacks first and asks questions later...
But...since LS is kinda part of haruhiism anyways, itsa gon' be merged into that anyway soon...
...that is, unless I steal it to myself! And hereby form the HARU-NATAlliance, for the fans of all that is Hirano Aya, with the support of the bishi tenshi of DNAngel! *rabid*
^ Hear hear! I think I'll join that group!
Exa bows down in front of the Mighty HARU-NATAlliance and will to join to it!
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?

Yes, the fun just started a few weeks ago! ^^
Zomg ---- 'Tis the ultimate chibii type animé ever!

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! I am victorious!
And if you're looking for a logo, well, you could start out looking in my new sig. -w-
COMBOOOOOOO~
just finished tsuyokiss and currently finishing ghosthunt...
Gin-seperatists? NEVER! You can leave, but she wont. She has the best armies in the galaxies protecting her (and who better to protect gothic lolitas then the gothic armies of the 41st millenium?)
see? Proof that the gin-3.1 coallition is strong!

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...
Scurvies! *scurries off to drawing board*
ALL ARMIES OF THE WORLD tremble before Haruhi. And if that's not enough, well, we've got her underlings at command as well... ;006
YOU HAVE ARMIES!? WELL, I'VE GOT THE LOLI-ALIEN OF DOOM! *waves my yuki at the masses*
Ah, but the armies of the Imperium are just the back up plan, the true force of the Gin-3.1 coallition is the fact that they are SO MOE YOUR GONNA DIE!!
Enough! Enough! We don't need to war! Remember when the Gin and Desu factions almost started to fight! Such things would destroy both factions! We can't accept it!
Nothing can destroy Gin-sama, she will just come back next season!! XD Plus, thats where the legion of space marines and titans come in, protection of their beloved goddesses T_T No harm will ever come to them on our watch.
I was about to promote Exa-kun to first diplomat of H-NA here, but oh well...
How 'bout some DA! in yo face?
[attachment deleted by admin]
Ehehe...ok, from now, I, Exa Thundercloud (it's the full name of my fan character), follower of the Mighty HARU-NATAlliance, will follow Grand Emperor NejinOniwa-sama's commands, and I'll protect the alliance until the end of the world!
Good jeorb! (as coach z would have said it)
*pats shoulder*
Also, if you abbreviate that name it becomes ET... ;006
Anyway, now I think we should scurry back to headquarters, and stop bothering this thread with our rampage anymore ^_^
Forthward, towards N-HA HQ! *scurries away towards the "start new topic"-button*
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! ;)
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
Ano...LS has only aired 3 eps so far... ^-^;
But further discussion about that over at H-NA HQ.
Rozen maiden!! my favourite anime of all...
now i'm also watching suzumiya haruhi no yuutsu, didnt have the chance last time
for your love of sugintou:
Added after 8 minutes: oh, and Nidas, you yould check out the compleated one..
just finished zero no tsukaima and ghost hunt.
zero no tsukaima, that show rocked. I have an awsome Lousie figure on my computer :D
They are working on a second season I hear..
ya it was fun, short but fun. i hope that second season thing is true!
man, After watching haruhi i've done nothing except finish 3 more anime series and some zim from time to time.
Maybe i'll watch another series...
I recently watched the new Hellsing OVA. I know that I'm very late at it but late is better then never huh. I must say that it's total ownage as they say, a bit gore-y but hey doesn't that make it all the better =D
zero no tsukaima second season.. im also looking forward for that, gonna see what else kirce gonna do with saito
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!
currently watching rozen maiden and ergo proxy
Renkin 3-kyuu Magical ? Pokaan.
All that Liru talk over on 4chan made me do it. It's kinda funny and lighthearted.
still finishing ergo proxy, finished rozen maiden, starting rozen maiden Traumend!
very good. your endoctrination into the gin-3.1 coalition is well underway. Oveture seals the deal.
Just finished Traumend. continuing Ergo Proxy
Gomen captain, I Still can't join the gin-3.1 Coalition. not until i learn more about Gin-sama!
Wow...haven't been here in a while. I've been busy with school, and:
CODE GEASS
Quite possibly one of the best anime I've ever seen. It has required me to update my list of favorite anime:
1. Love Hina (Original, Again, and OVA)
2. Full Metal Panic (Original, Fumoffu, and Second Raid)
3. Onegaiverse (Teacher and Twins)
4. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
5. Code Geass
6. FLCL
7. Mahoromatic
8. Rozen Maiden
9. Mahou Sensei Negima
Haruhi is not at the top of the list!! What is the meaning of this!
But oh well, each man for his own tastes o' animé.
And Lucky Star isn't even on it! Shame, yinz! DL NOW!!!
Yeah what he said ^ Shame on you
But as I said each has it's own taste of animé, I'm not gonna force you to watch anything, just influence it harshly
just finished ouverture, dammit i cried.
me too ! I cried too at the end ... -.-
just finished ergo proxy. now i'm thinking of what else to watch...
You cried at the end? That means that I must watch it =O
I´m watching:
Naruto
Bleach
Ranma
Death Note
Noir
Black Lagoon
Chobits
Gundam Wing
QuoteYou cried at the end? That means that I must watch it =O
Caution, this OVA may cause you do rethink your loyalties. and hate shinku bunches.
I watched it...it was good, but most of all i think it gives a better view at Sui/Souseiseki and their attitudes without a close by Jun...or something. -.-
Oh well, I'm far too loyal to Haruhi-sama and Konata to betray them for something like that, ssu.
sui/sou o_o? it showed very little new about them.. the whole OVA explained the reason behind the gin/stinku hate.
To me, it seems more like, Shinku is a sadist. Always. Um.
QuoteCaution, this OVA may cause you do rethink your loyalties. and hate shinku bunches.
I don't really like Shinku that much already.
QuoteOh well, I'm far too loyal to Haruhi-sama and Konata to betray them for something like that, ssu.
But when it comes to the end, that is so true.
just finished speed grapher.
*gets camera and tries to blow-up things*
With the last two episode of StrikerS being totally awesome (YUUNO RETURNS!!!), here's something I cooked up so celebrate:
Yuuno's Imperial Guard (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/USSKenji64296/Untitled-1-1.jpg)
just finished tona gura!
I started watching two series yesterday.
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
I am watching:
Lucky Star Ep 3
El Cazador de la Bruja Ep 3
Darker than Black Ep 3
Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS Ep 3
Romeo x Juilet Ep 3
Nodame Cantabile Ep 1
o-O
wheeee....
finished akahori gendou hour rabuge!
Yosh! Just discovered something new...
GINTAMA!!!!!!!
Some weird Sci-fi/Samurai comedy series that seems weird but simply whack hilarious. Also, we've got our familiar Tomokazu Sugita in the lead - that is, Kyon - as the white-haired samurai goon Sakata Gintoki. Maa, tanoshisou dakessu!
Added after 22 minutes:
*ten minutes into first episode*
This has to be the least fukken serious anime EVER. XD
It's even narrated by the Bleach characters! I mean, what the ziggy hael!?
Man...this fukken rocks my socks offssu...

maybe i'll watch code geass sometime, in my new pocket pc! hahahaha i'm so happy. i have yet to experience the joy of mobile anime watching!
Oh yes, I've just DL:ed a bunch of new anime...can't remember to list them all, but the secret is here:
1: Look up Sugita Tomokazu and Hirano Aya in ANN's seiyuu database.
2: Check list of starred anime.
3: ?????????
4: PROFIT!!!!
He couldn't just post the names here...
Quote from: "Laevatein"Technically, NO ONE has finished Code Geass, because episodes 24 and 25 haven't aired yet ^^;;;
hahaha, he has a point. ^^
Geass was the only anime I watched over the spring semester. I frankly didn't have much time to look at more than one series.

Also, for those of you who want Haruhi behaving like Human-like Nagato (meaningly, EVERYONE!!!), download Manabi Straight immediately!!! Or heads will roll!
Manabi Straight? I haven't even fully downloaded Lucky Star yet!
QuoteBwahahahahahahahahaha~
I have finished Gode Ceass! I Bwahahahahahahahaha! at you!
You have a time machine? Could you go ahead to 2009 and get me the English dubs of Rozen Maiden and Code Geass and tell me who won the election?
im am a psyker remember, I can look into the future and tell you
Rozen maiden.
No exeptions.
HA! Yes, Rozen won the election...
...to VICE president.
The jouoh-sama is already, too obviously, Haruhi-sama's position and hers only. With the other Hirano charas as special ninja troops. -w-
T_T good think im the only one here that is a psyker and can see this future
and can take steps to change the outcome if its not what i desier.
Aria - 3
Claymore - 7
Code Geass - 24
FLCL - 2

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 ;_;

LELOUCH DIES
Ã'_Ã"DAMN YOU SUNRISE!
Second season will suck
Yay GTO IS a good anime, though i also recommend watching the manga! definitely
and i plan on watching claymore soon, i read a few chapters of its manga a while ago and it does look interesting, the author also made Angel densetsu which is also a good read! i also recommend reading it!.
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).
GOnna start watching lucky star tonight i think. maybe.
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
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"GOnna start watching lucky star tonight i think. maybe.
feels more like azumanga...
i like that feeling. makes me lazy. XD;

I like azumanga daio and peeps have said its like that.
'k
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 finished sadamitsu the destroyer
and
episode 5 of doki doki school hours. sensei no ojikan!
started Yoake mae yoru ruriiro na.
damn that was long.
haha, that's almost as long as
Kumo no Mukou Yakusoku no Basho
which is a good movie, btw.
oh there's also Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto
I'm on episode 3...
lol, any other series with long names?
ummm.....there's The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
I'm currently watching MOHS again, and just starting on Chokotto Sister.
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
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.
haha, well, random does appeal to me.
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. ^^
Quote from: "Darknight_88"
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.
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
Currently i watch at least 2 eps of Haruhi every day. Man, I didn't realize how awesome portable video players were 'til now... -w-
i'm starting hidamari sketch and continuing sensei no ojikan in my pocket pc! yup portable video players are gooooood. :)
as most people here already know azumanga is pure undeluted fun! but i wonder why so many of my friends don't even want to watch it. so i'm lolling by my self :(
Nanoha StrikerS just went up several notches with this scene:

Yep, Nanoha dispensing unholy
BRUTAL discipline on Teana and Subaru O_O
*in this scene, Nanoha just blasted a berserk Teana sky-high for recklessness and insubordination... and this gets Subaru VERY angry...*
I began watching Claymore and Hayate the Combat Butler.
Hayate made me LOL pretty quick. XD; And Claymore is a nice anime. Serious stuff, but good serious stuff with weird monsters and blood. XD;
and Laevatein, I will get around to watching that... soon. haha... *avoids spoilers*
Just finished Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo/The Girl who leapt across time. A good drama movie. Recommended.
I've started watching Hayate no Gotoko. I agree that it made me 'lol' very fast.
I also started watching Rurouni Kenshin, It's nice, good plot and all that, I think it's a bit weird though.
one title ... lucky STAR!!
Yay! High five!

Didnt like the anime version of Hayate no Gotoku they censored to much of it to me but still good anyway.
just watched all of FMP Fumoffu and Elfen Lied... my god are they both on differnent ends of the spectrum... Elfen lied is still fucking with my head.
Word, dear captain. Word.
(i mean, it doesn't even END!)
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).
Yadi yadi yada yada...
Never found it all that interesting anyway.
Other news though, my Pokemans are piling up on the hard drive and demanding attention. They'll prolly getit ^^ Juuni Kokuki never caught my interest actually, but I might retry it sometime.
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.
Ooooo-hohohohohohoho~!
The nostalgia! The fantasy! The memories!!!
Ah, just casually watching through the second ep of the original pokemon series...indigo league that is...IN JAPANESE! OOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!!!
This brings back my childhood memories...natsukashi-ssu ne! -w-
I ment fucks with my head with the senceless violence, not in the complexity of the story. that and im with Nejin, the ending sucked if its to be called one.
*nod nod* It was all like, "Hey there's a girl!" "ZOMFS SLAY THEM!!!" "Waah! I hurt, i bleed, i die!" *severed arms get flung around the yard*
Liek, crappy.
Also i noticed I've had Himawari and some Galaxy Angel racking up and waiting for attention on my HDD, anyone knows whatta do 'boutem?
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
Quote*nod nod* It was all like, "Hey there's a girl!" "ZOMFS SLAY THEM!!!" "Waah! I hurt, i bleed, i die!" *severed arms get flung around the yard*
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.

But I finally watched Rozen Maiden Overture, I can't say that I cried over it, like some said that they did, but it was a bit moving. And yes it does give a negative image on Shinku.
I was also going to get Kanon, but then my internets failed me, so I'll have to wait for some time.
If anyone has seen it please let me know how it is, as I don't know nothing about it.

My internet is crappier than yours, believe me. Even though it's cable, it fails at the most impromptu times. Consider yourself lucky, since according to Wikipedia, "Iceland has the highest number of broadband Internet connections per capita among OECD countries".

According to speedtest.org, Japan has the highest average bandwidth in the world, followed tightly by Sweden (wait, what?) as number two. Iceland's not even in the top ten, for all i know.

You know, I've been watching Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan, and I have to admit. Even though I like it, it goes WAY too quickly. There are just some points where I can't even follow it. Still, I can't help but laugh at some of the crazy, sadistic antics that Dokuro puts poor Sakura through (and yes, Sakura is a guy).
Really? Some shows you really can't tell...

Wooh. Cool. -w- Something like the one i use for my iPod then - since my nice speakers-and-subwoofer-of-great-soundness broke down a few weeks ago, I've used that for playing music -w- Although, it's out in the living room, so it's not all that appreciated by the others all the time ^^

some of the big ones like naruto sihppuuden, bleach, one piece
others are Romeo x Juliet, Tokimeki Memorial, nagasarete airantou, etc...
Ayu! I've just found something fresh and shiny here, called Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Something about drills much, anyone else watched it? (seems good)
I plan on watching ttgl, but If you click on my sig, I'm watching a lot of other stuffs. XD;;
I'm watching... lets see...
Victorian Romance Emma Second Act
Romeo X Juliet
Mushishi
Ergo Proxy
Oniisama E...
I think that's about it. At least that I'm in the middle of watching right now. Maybe there was one more... I can't remember.
Ive just finished watching Aishiteruze Baby, am in the middle of Seto_No_Hanayome and am about to start the following:
sola
Shakugan no Shana (heard soo much so im finally gonna watch it)
Aishiteruze Baby
that was a good show, not my usual type, but it was really cute
Yeah, Gurren Lagann is definitely the shit. The 6th episode though... ;269
I just finished watching Haibane Renmei... What a great anime! :D
Now I'll probably watch Tsukihime ^^
as much as I adore TYPE-MOON, I've been avoiding watching tsukihime...
I've played through the game a couple times and really enjoyed it... I don't hear good things about the anime tho. ^^;
I'm about to finish master keaton!
and i recently watched Paprika! now that was a very wierd show good but wierd.
and i just downloaded the latest genshiken, need to watch soon
Started watching a lot of series...
Devil May cry! First episode is pure ownage, I recommend it to all!
Hitohira. Good shoujo, I like it.
Tales of Symphonia, I watched it with onii-sama, I didn't know what was happening half the episode, it started of way to quickly. He was able to understand it though, perhaps because he has played the game.
Kaze no Stigma, it's ok I guess.
You guys have got impressive lists!
I started watching Bleach yesterday (on Adult Swim)...It's pretty interesting...but I was a little lost because it was the fifth episode.
Bleach is good!
i finished master keaton now i'm trying to get the OVA.. need to find
i just started Final Approach. seems interesting enough, chibi is nice...
I also started detective school Q recently, although its interesting the crimes seem to be simple so far.
O_o they have bleach on cartoon network?
Adult swim.hehe that's where they put anime shows on CN, aside from pokemon, yu-gi-oh and other children safe shows.
its no surprise that they would get bleach though, it is already very popular
almost too popular....
Today on YouTube I watched Rozen Maiden ep. 1, and Azumanga Daioh episode 1.
Rozen Maiden seems pretty interesting (not to mention the artwork/animation is great!). I look forward to watching some more eps tomorrow!
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 :..(
sakaki and cats is win.
rozen maiden is win to. oh suiginto-sama *swoon*

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.
What's this? Captain-san swooning too?
It's an Epidemic! ^-^
Then again, he is well within his bounds to swoon, Sakaki is awesome!
suigintou sama is always grounds for swoonage
sou, sou! ^__^
Though I like Megu best, go figure ^-^'
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
Ahhh, 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!
Aaaaw! Bella-san! I gave mine away long ago... I must repent for my sins! Oh Endileth Endïlieth...*sings*

Deja Vu, man! I saw My Neighbor Totoro when I was in kindergarten. That didn't get me "hooked", but two years later I watched Pokemon, and I was hooked!
I didnt see my neighbor totoro till highschool sophmore year in japanese class. I was hooked long before it but I still picked it up for my collection. If god forbid I ever fail to pull out in time and have kids, it will be a good one for them to watch.

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 ^_^.
pokemon, i never really started or finished the show. just random episodes when i see it on cartoon network.
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
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!
*hugs Bella-san*
Finally! You're officially One Of Us. ^.^
At least now you know where I got the inspiration for the "Binteji Renmei". ^___^
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
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 :..)
i almost watched it before, but i stopped after the first episode. maybe i'll watch it sometime soon.
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
azumanga daioh and outlaw star
now i'm watching lucky star, sola, hayate no gotoku and seto no hanayome
and lso i'd like to watch clannad TV version and also moe-tan and higurashi no naku koro ni of new anime in june
me watching Asatte no Houkou....
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!

No, I believe many people had the same response. I know I did at least.
Quote from: "Bella"

Indeed I did.
That aside, I just finished the Death Note anime, and now I'm back watching Lucky Star. Always watching that torrent page, downloading the torrent as soon as it shows up, and then proceeding to watch the episode...
Yay! i just finished downloading master keaton OAV! not to continue on!
mmm the animes that im being wached ...
1.- Paranoia Agent
2.-Ergo Proxy
3.- Death note
4.-SOS
Watched the uncut version of the Sailor Moon R movie for the forth time this week. <3
waiting dilegently for disc 2 of the english dub of rozen maiden.. need more gin!
I wonder. Is that licensed in Europe?
QuoteNo, I believe many people had the same response. I know I did at least.
I thought I was the only one (Supersize Me)!
i donno but I got it today. 4 eps per disc, the next disc will finish the first season
I would be watching the last part of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but YouTube put an end to that : \
i just finished final approach, it was short and nice.
now i'm starting master keaton and i can't stop!
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 ;_;
i was watching venus versus virus recently.
my its a good story but i only have chapter 1-5.
i'm looking forward to have more
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.
What the? gin-sama is talking in engriss?
i wanna see it, capt can you post some scene cut?
that would involce ripping from my dvd, which im pretty sure i dont even have the capability of doing since im against piracy.. tho this is a viao so there might be a program on it. I think there is.. i did work on a gunslinger girl amv on here once.. i should have finished that but my L33t amv friend gave me too much greif because i was using lower quality music and such (tho.. for the record, the ass only listens to wav files because he claims he can here the digidation betweein a wave and an MP3)
oh. T.T
but nvm since i'm also against piracy. btw, i also just bough the suzumiya haruhi limited box set. but it got such a poor subtitle, i must have been tricked by the vendor.
i wasnt watching it with subtitles.. but then again I never too if i didnt see the sub to begin with.
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 :(
Darn AMV's taking over! Where are the actual episodes?! >__<
o_o you never finished it?!?!
Quotethe ass only listens to wav files because he claims he can here the digidation betweein a wave and an MP3
It is actually very possible to hear that, but you need to have a very trained ear for that.
Quote from: "Gummster"Quotethe ass only listens to wav files because he claims he can here the digidation betweein a wave and an MP3
It is actually very possible to hear that, but you need to have a very trained ear for that.
I can hear it with low-quality mp3... like 192kbps and below.
but higher than that, if I said I can hear a difference, I'm just pretending that I have a good ear. XD;
on topic: i started sola. ^^
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"the ass only listens to wav files because he claims he can here the digidation betweein a wave and an MP3)
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)
well Im half def from mortars so its impossible for me to tell. either way, trying to do all the nit picky things to clean up errors in footage i didnt see and the like just burned me out on it and i never finished it.
Oh well, that's just too bad ain't it cappy? While you're being just deaf from mortars though, others of us is just WAITING FOR THE DAMN S2 OF HARUHI TO APPEAR OUT OF THE BLUE, KONOYARO, DO YOU REALIZE HOW CRUEL THAT FATE IS!?!? I WILL DIE!!![/size]

It's confirmed, at least...*pant pant pant*
Darknight-san, can i borrow your throat for a while? Please? Just a little? I suddenly feel a strong urge to bite something...
no :p
p...pwetty pweez?
QuoteAnd 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!
Word to the wise: There is something to the hype about Lucky Star. Believe me, the best part is LUCKY CHANNEL! The bipolar Akira and flat Sebastien make for quite the Punch and Judy act! She reminds me of Haruko from FLCL...which is a good thing!
Episode 13 is NUCLEAR.
i have to agree, best part of the show is lucky channel
Hmm, hmm, I agree somewhat - LC's high concentration of SEBASTIAN is quite so damn well addictive -w-
STOP TEMPTING ME YOU INTERNET DEAMONS!
And no spoilers plzthxbai
I just finished master keaton OAV and i'm at ep 38 of history's strongest disciple kenichi, that was fun..
Maybe i'll start Lucky star? or tsubasa chronicles? or shining tears? maybe rewatch rozen?. Ahh.. it's so confusing, so many shows, so little time!
Thou SHALT start LUCKY STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~ or thou shalt be eaten. Twice. With VASELINE.
By Sebastian -w-
belay that order!!
Rewatch Rozen! It is your duty!
A rewatch isn't even half as much worth as a first-timer - and LS totally PWNS RM anyways! Plus, EP 14 is out, so we even have YUTAKA!!!!
HERESY! BLASPHAMY! Still your toung demon!!
/me gives the Captain holy water and Nejin accursed flame.
Let the epic battle begin!
Accursed flame? Pah, i has the Sword of Beheading People Just Like In That Movie! So there!!!
I have holy armor etched with sacred runes of protection and a holy blessed nemisis ban hammer and the light of the emperor and the goddess behind me. I shall not faulter!! Rewatch rozen for the win!!
Don't make me summon Haruhi on you. Now go watch that Lucky Star!
The ED of Lucky Star episode 14 = laugh out loud funny!
Sebastian~ -w-
Yeah the ending of eps 14 simply W.I.N
Time in lucky star sure pass by fast though,only 1 more year and konata can legally buy P0rn ^__^.
Bought vol.1 of Haruhi Suzumiya. It was excellent! ^_^ Now, I need to buy Negima and.... Loveless! *O*
so the last remaining choices are rewatching rozen and Watching lucky star.
AHhh! I still can't decide. maybe ill just rest from anime for sometime. maybe some games would work.
WATCH THE ROZEN MAIDEN!!!!!

YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO THE CAPTAIN AND ALSO ME. THESE ARE GOOD STORIES. AND FORGET WHAT NejinOniwa HAS TELL YOU!
[attachment deleted by admin]
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.
I think Captain-san is right on this one!
I haven't seen Lucky Star or Rozen Maiden. Is it any good?
Quote from: "I"Rozen Maiden, on the other hand, is an absolutely captivating series; utterly enthralling.
Do watch! If you can, I would say buy it! It is most certainly one of the beast series yet.

I just hope I can find it at my local stores! It's difficult to find anime on the shelves. ;_; I got lucky when I found Haruhi and Loveless at BestBuy! O_O;
in america at least.. there is only 2 discs out so far.. but they are coming out reguraly.. shouldnt be too hard
you could just cross the border and get some
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.
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)....

Sweet! ^.^
Watched some Pokemon D/P last night. The Japanese version of course. ^_~
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.
Quote from: "NejinOniwa"And GJ Ice-san! Ya gotta tell me where to get those - I completely suck at finding poky fansubs.
To be honset, I downloaded them off YouTube (YES. THERE IS A WAY.). But they aren't the full episodes. I only have short battle clips of Satoshi VS Natane, Some random moments, and a scene where Hikari's Pachirisu is making her mad. XD
Oooh, zannen da ^^
(and for DLing off YT, I use UnPlug)
I'll see if I get any good PM subs swung my way then...
Quote from: "NejinOniwa"Oooh, zannen da ^^

The ones I get don't have subtitles so I really don't know what they're saying XD But it's well worth the download! ^-^
I'm gonna be finishing Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori! then rewatch rozen afterwards!! Oh joy!!
Watching Moetan, Im a learnin engrish mummy ^__^.
Quote from: "Acher13"

I have, and I enjoyed it.
Confused the heck out of me at first. But, I liked it. ^^
And Kajiura music always rocks. :3

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.
you gots fate/stay night? with english patch!
me wants me wants! onegai!

Me WANTS Louise!!

if i could remember my image shack loggin, id show you that I already have louise *nod*
And yah, I really am a sucker for those kinds of shows.. evangelion, gunslinger, fate stay night, full metal.. the more depressing, the more they hook me, yet each of them are wonderful in their own way too. >_<
Wow...it feels as though I've been away forever. People have been posting...a lot. But I've been spending my few weeks of summer losing my virginity...
*pauses for dramatic effect*
...to Evangelion. Yes, the Yinzer bit the bullet and started watching the classic series. Now then, I'm trying to watch carefully and collect the subtle nuances (mothers, running away, lunch). I haven't started episode 20 yet, so no one give any plot points or spoilers away!
just wait till the movies *nod* those will really fry the space between your ears.
I have just seen clips of the series and the movie and my brains are already fried. I haven't really watched the show yet, I don't know why...
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.
*starts waiting for Rebuild of Evangelion in October*
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.
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!~
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.
.... well many would have said the same about the lord of the rings... but personaly, dispite the not being entirly accurate it was pretty damn good.
Good point. Oh, and by the way:
CODE GEASS EP 24! (http://id-tv.info/wiki/Code_Geass_Episode_24)
Hopefully the link works still!
maybe one of these days ill watch that show
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...
I'm up to half of Basilisk!! Need to watch more. but must not, too much work to do..... :(
i'm looking forward to the 2nd season of Code Geass! ^^
i hope it is true that they are going to make a 2nd season ^^
Watched a little bit of Demashitaa! PowerPuff Girls Z! the other night.
I can't imagine that being fun.
Me, I'm watchin Ikki Tousen and a bit of Keroro Gunsou on YouTube...despite my internetz connection being unforgiving to load times...
-Zero no Tsukaima season 2...
and When They Cry.. I wonder if disc 2 is out yet...
Actually powerpuff girls z is kinda fun. kinda... it is a kid's show so you really shouldn't be expecting alot.
finished with Basilisk! that ending made me cry! damn!
I'm currently "marathoning" tokyo majin Gakuen kenpuchou tou. it seems to be a typical demon slaying show.
I just started watching Aria: the Animation recently. It seems pretty good so far, though there's not much of a story to it that I've seen so far.
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!
Aria or Iria? Iria was the first anime i ever watched.. i remember it having a decent story.. tho it was only like 6 eps long.
I think he really meant Aria. as in this
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5504
I'm now re watching Rozen Maiden and Leave it to Piyoko..
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.
And I am now watching One Piece, it's not as funny as I thought it to be, but it has a story, and I like that.
Watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, another totally random anime by shaft :3.This is officially my new numbah 1 anime!!111One11!!.

*Throws Lucky Star aside*
Paranoid Suicidal Teachers are higher on the prioty list than Dancing Tsundere Lolis :3.
Just watched Kamikaze Girls and Suicide Circle. Them Japanese has weird movies O.o
And i just finished Inukami! Waw! waw!
I'm watching Pokemon on my TV right now. X3
Hai faivu, yai! ^-^
just watched disc 2 of Haruhi.... it took 5 episodes for something interesting to happen, i almost gave up on the series. Untill disc 2 the only thing worth it the witty sarcasum. in the rare action sceans they are done well. look forward to more. still dont like haruhi herself. i guess she apeals to people who like controling women.
Quote from: "NejinOniwa"Hai faivu, yai! ^-^
*hi fives you*
I hope Canada can get their hands on the D/P series soon. I can't wait any longer! ><
Pokemon yay! too bad i can't watch the series.
Anyway i just started Pumpkin Scissors! Vacation is right around the corner! more anime for the following weeks!
...and i guess I'll have to check out Mahou to see what new series will start airing this autumn. Ya-yoi!!!
And also, I HATE the fact that i neither have a DS, nor exists there a functioning emulator of it...

Sadly, though, this lappy screwed up the timing when i converted it for my iPod so it's almost a whole second off, with no way of fixing it!!! o_o
Finished pumpkin Scissors!! Papapapampukin!
And i just finished rozen maiden s1 once again!
I had this painful feeling in my chest when i reached the last few episode. then something started leaking from my eyes as i watched gin-sama fall and start to crawl, crying out "father"
Rewatching it was more than what i imagined!
And i just recently realized why Gin-sama likes yakult! hahaha
So you have joined our little Rozen Maiden posse, eh? Hehe...
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.
QuoteAnd i just recently realized why Gin-sama likes yakult! hahaha
its so sad, yet so funny XD
I'm currently watching IGPX fansubs
Shigurui ( a very interesting samurai series very violent too)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0geiODQeyY Thats the opening to it if anyone is interested in the series.

MOOOO
I saw Lupin the III, Castle of Cagliostro a while back...I thought it was great!
I thought it seemed a lot more "western" than modern Anime...
One show I tried to watch, but lost all interest in after 10 minutes was Inuyasha : | It seemed a lot more interesting when my brother and I would watch it and make fun of the sappy ending theme and stuff XD
Quote from: "Bella"I saw Lupin the III, Castle of Cagliostro a while back...I thought it was great!

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
I really enjoyed the experience. ;012
So that's why there were Lupin III T-shirts in all the convenience stores in Italy when I was there! It makes sense now...
QuoteI saw Lupin the III, Castle of Cagliostro a while back...I thought it was great!
I just saw it yesterday - it was great! Please tell me that all the Lupin III movies are just as good!
I just watched Fullmetal Alchemist episode 37, "The Flame Alchemist, the Bachelor Lieutenant & the Mystery of Warehouse 13"
O...M...G...That was like the funniest episode of any anime series I've seen to date (it could give my beloved western-animation The Simpsons a run for it's comedic money)...ROTFLMAO, indeed...
And I'm starting to really like Blood Plus...much more than a horror/monster show....
watching Hellsing ultimate, Haruhi, and When they cry right now...

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)

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
awwww no fair... still waiting on the update for Lucky Star 20... =_=; but yeah watching Lucky Star atm... and trying to find the one anime where they make the most references from (I think it's Haruhi Suzumiya... could be wrong XD)
It is, of course. Also much mentioned are the Full Metal Panic series, as well as a league of others, but if you want to know more there should be much info on ANN's trivia page for the series.
Currently watching:
School Days (9 episodes watched): I wonder how it will end... not an average love-romance anime.
Sky Girls (6 episodes watched): Not bad, but it can be better...
Moetan (4 episodes watched): Not a world-changing one , but good for fun ^^
Watched One Piece up to episode 289, I must now wait untill the rest is uploaded.
I also watched Code Geass and I'm still like wow,
and also watched Kyou Kara Maou first 13 eps.

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. ^^

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
Arawu. As for me, I'mwu currently watching Zero no Tsukaima (1:st season, but since it's good I'll prolly watch the second one too), Hayate no Gotoku and passively, Gurren Lagann. Stupid crap formats that always screws up.

Quote from: "SleepyD"elol, Dokuro-chan 2? Whoo!! Random magical violence!! XD;
First season was much better sadly =/ It is still good, just not S1 level of win.
Also started Moe-tan recently, I love it :D Quite possibly top 10 if it keeps the quality going. Probably helps if you're a big fan of magical girl like me though lol
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?
humm, predictions or no, maybe some spoiler alert is required for that as it does reference to things that people, such as I, who have not seen any off it may need not know if they ever intend to watch it.
hint hint hint T_T
wordeth.
I just got the full box set to Hand Maid May. 3 DVD's and one CD with series facts and goodies on it.

North America
is the Holy Empire of Britannia

the chinese federation :D (no opinions...)
doesn't Russia belongs to USE (United States of Europe) ?
i can't really remember, but i thought Russia belongs to the USE...
somewhere near the episode where the "ceremony of nippon" is -1 or -2 eps.
they showed a short (really short) scene with some guys and on the table stand a card with USE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope that the most of will come true sounds like a interesting and cool story (i also heard the rumor about the 2nd series will be aired in october)
HOLY SHI!
I just finished watching School Days ep 11
O_O
I don't know If I should hate Makoto or feel pity for him after the last scene.
And Kotonoha...;_;
If Sekai wasn't there, this would be happy end for Kotonoha...but it wont ;_;
KOTONOHA ;_;
i just finish 6th episode of Jinki:extend, the stories are almost similar to idolm@ster xenoglossia.
girls and mecha, not badf but the action here is kinda poor T-T.
well at least the anime "cheeky angel" did cheer me up with crap, poor guy who wished to be the most manliest man ever but turn up to be the most prettiest girl ever after the magic book grant his wish (in different way)

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
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.
Well, for the last episode of school days, darknight got...
a nice boat.

They even pulled Higurashi Kai 12.
*sigh* I give them a week. 2 max, before I get angry. I'm not the kind of person with a short fuse. Unless they cancel, then I'll be angry the instant I read that.
Context for those lost: http://www.globalvoicesonline.org/2007/09/21/japan-axe-murder-school-days-and-a-nice-boat/

I'll call it a true meme if it still pops up months from now. ^^

Watched the seventh Pokemon movie last night on my computer.
EDIT: OMG! My 400th post!! ^__^
Seventh...hmm, that's the Deoxys one, isn't it? Pretty good, but doesn't beat the 8th one, though. Watch that one!!!
Also, grats @ 400 GET!

School days it's over!
And the
NICE BOAT actually appeared!
Well....heads were
hugged...literally (somewhere around min 22:30)
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.
School Days 10/10AWESOME. Best trainwreck/romance/drama animu EVER.P.S: uh ah...I didn't noticed the forum censored certain words...A worldfilter would nicer.

It was truly AWESOME, a unique in that genre...

Watched some more Pokemon D/P yesterday since it was the TV. It seems YTV skipped like half of the Battle Froniter series!
The boat was not so great. It was a nice boat, but School Days is better.
I'm watching Lucky Star. There's a lot of interesting stuff in this series.
I'm watching Hayate no Gotoku, Shakugan no Shana Season 2, and Lucky Star at the moment, i'm watching some more, but I don't feel like listing them. Nice boat, by the way.
myanimelist says all. XD;
And so, here comes a new season. What are you guys planning on watching? I'm still behind with stuff from last season. I haven't had time to look through the ones coming out, but I do plan on watching Shana 2 and Gundam 00.
I recently saw Ghost in the Shell, (the 1997 movie).
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.
Anyways I just finished Samurai X: Reflection. I'm not going to deny it but I cried at the ending, it's that sad/beautiful/romantic. But I recommend it!
Ghost in the Shell is awesome. Innocence was a little trippy though.
Third movie... The Stand Alone Complex one? I don't really like S.A.C. so I haven't seen it.
I'm watching Higurashi Kai and Gintama. They're such complete opposites.
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
EDIT: I started one more series:
- Myself, yourself: Not very unique in that genre, but at some reason, I have the mood for this ^^
CLANNAD, Minami-Ke, Gundam 00.
I have to catch up on Shana II, Seto no Hanayome, and Nagasarete Airantou. Been too busy to finish these.
I have to start Myself;Yourself soon as well.
I have a list:

O SHI- its a panther, quick! get in the car!
._. oh wait, its you.
Added after 2 minutes:
Oh, and I watched Hellsing Ultimate 3 last night. Im gonna have to go back and watch it again in japanese.. some of the voices are just fail -_- The show takes on a whole new feel with all the gag sceans from the manga added back in.
Just started watching Black Lagoon (yeah i know, Im slow) But it teh awsome! Im gonna have to cosplay revy :3 shes a girl after my own heart.
I just watched Spirited Away ^_^ It's a very interesting movie, and very sweet!
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!
YOU PEOPLE DOESNT HAVE LIFE... RIGHT? ajjajajajajaja
Just kidding, this post grown a lot in a short time, and now i cant understand what are you saynig................................
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".
watching claymore right now.. and rewatching elfen Lied
How is Claymore? My neighbor has the manga.
FUKKIN AWSOME.
Just the character design for the claymores is boring and repeditive.
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 love Kino no Tabi, too. I haven't seen Jigoku Shoujo, though. I'll have to give it a look.
Quote from: "Siya"I love Kino no Tabi, too. I haven't seen Jigoku Shoujo, though. I'll have to give it a look.
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.
Once you do, post links :D
I wonder how they are going to get around the ending they did, it kinda deviates from the original manga...
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;
Quote from: "CaptBrenden"
I wonder how they are going to get around the ending they did, it kinda deviates from the original manga...
btw, she's not dead. :3
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.
Minami-ke ~ Okawari.
Hm.. And that's about it these days.
I'm just mainly watching Bleach and Naruto at the moment. Haven't really found much else. Been thinking about starting on D. Gray-Man since the manga is good but haven't gotten around to it yet.
I just finished Murder Princess.
I am right now watching excel saga

Spice and Wolf looks interesting. Tell me what you think!
Spice and Wolf = Instant Awesomeness, with a slight hint of pepper (lawl). Also, even though Horo now officially holds the record of NAKED TIME! on air outside H-anime, things are just fuckawesome anyway. Torrents are at your disposal, sir, use them.

I found Gundam 00 too fscked to bother with - also it seems to overpower things WAY too much from the very beginning. Am I wrong or do I just have to cope with it/ignore?
Currently I'm watching a classic, Ranma 1/2, interspersed with Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagann, when I can actually get episodes that'll play normally on my system. Something about the giant aspect ratio makes my computer crawl.
Probably doesn't help that XP-tan is eating up all of my memory. ._.[/size]

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.

QuoteHaven't been able to really like that one - it looked promising, but it feels a bit too shallow. Any tips?
I guess I'm just really fond of the banter between the main characters and their attitudes toward others. It's kinda like chatroom banter between some of my RP friends.
Gundam 00 is getting VERY interesting right about now. :3
I think I like this situation of giving them a feeling of superiority at first.
instead of the super-amazing-invincible-gundam-with-pretty-lasers-and-explosions deus ex machina thing going on in SEED.
The aimbots! don't forget the aimbots!

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.
Ghost Hound, eh? I should give it another go. I wasn't so fond of the first episode.
Well, true, things are a bit slow in the start. But episode 4 and onwards is true epicsplosion. Miyako moee~ wwwwwwwww
Alright. I'll try and ignore the boring of the first three episodes, then. ^__^
I just finished both seasons of black Lagoon and I am now on episode 18 of excel saga.
Excel saga, huh.
YOU WILL DIE >w<
Why?
Spontaneous combustion due to mental implosion?

which is why I'm not watching it again at the moment. XD;;
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...
Someone give me tips on how to properly draw guns. I don't think I can do a good gunslinger girl fanart without doing at least a semi-decent job on that.
Oi, SleepyD! I see you're watching Darker than BLACK. I've been intrigued by that anime.
Please tell me about your experience with it. ^__^
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
well I finished excel saga with my mind intact. So the next anime is to finish watching azumanga daioh.

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... >_<
I've been watching Darker than Black, too...it's pretty interesting.
I dunno why, it reminds me a *bit* of Blood+, even though the two series are completely different...it must have to do with the animation style or something O___o
And we'll be looking forward to your fanart, SleepyD :)
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'll have to get around to watching Darker Than Black, then.
In the meantime, I'm watching D.Gray-man.
Utamaru wakata utamaru wakata... ^__^ I watched Da Capo and Paranoia Agent just because Utamaru and Maromi were voiced by Haruko Momoi... My hero...

Currently watching Wolf and Spice (or Spice and Wolf depending on the translation), pretty interesting so far.
I just finished Shining Tears X Wind. I'm not entirely sure what to think of it. It was nice being a story that didn't go off on too many little tangents (which may have been why it was so short).
Watching TTGL fierst new anime since about 6 months...
Watching Ghost Hound. Planning to move on to KIBA eventually.
Ghost Hound is glorious animu. It will fuck your mind up and you'll ENJOY it. -w-
*Smokey peels off with this new info*
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... :..(
I tried it once.
The outcome was, Meh.
I guess I'm not suited for deep sociological shit, being batshit insane and all.
Need serious people to watch serious anime... :D
Or at least, Nejin in SERIOUS BUSINESS mode.
Doesn't cope with it for long though >~> Ganbare Chip-san!

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?
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_ಠDruaga 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!!!

I just stop Rurouni Kenshin and start watching i going be a angel, i think i watch too much Rurouni Kenshin i just seen 27 eps.

I stopped watching Romeo x Juliet, because the harddisk it was stored on died on me...
I'm now going to start on Azumanga Daioh, finally, after all these years...
Azumanga.
I bet you won't get past the second episode. >:3
Well, I just saw the first ep, and i remembered that i saw it before....
and GAWD, the LOLness, it's lethal.... :D
Currently following Code Geass R2, as I try to follow at least one ongoing aniime at any one time. Also finishing up some older stuff (Kyou Kara Maou) and some classic stuff (Slayers NEXT).
Kinda' want to finish it all in one go, but, alas, time is not on my side.
ah, pulling all-nighters isn't that hard (if you do have time), it's about doing stuff that keeps you awake...
Now, realizing that it's already 7am when you're just getting fired up (Bf2142, SCom etc) that's weird....:D
I got the second season of Ranma 1/2 on DVD for my anniversary, so I'm rewatchin' that! :D
Nice... :D
Buying anime on dvd is expensive though, i got lucky with my box-set of GITS: SAC, but other anime cost from 15 to 30 euro per dvd and a season covers some 7 dvd's... :(
My wallet doesn't like it, but i do :D
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.
Well, i did get GITS:sac for 55 euro in an anime/manga store wich popped up all of a sudden in Zwolle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwolle) (man i love that city more than the crummy town i was born and raised in)...
That box-set now costs about 90-120 euro's ;010
I watched KIBA. I'm not really sure how I feel about the way the series ended, but it was a decent watch.
Currently watching"St. Luminous"...
It's strange, yet intruiging...
-Code Geass R2
-Macross Frontier
-Kamen no Maid guy <---awesome.
Azumanga Daioh
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.
And also.....
.....
Most of the Digi Charat series.
They have many humourous points, but not as Freakin' Crazy as Bobobo.
Kinda reminds me of Galaxy Angel, thank god my HDD crashed, so i can blame that for not watching it anymore...
Added after 31 seconds:
That was one freaked out series...
I have recently watched
-Kino's Journey...which is really excellent! It's one of those very deep shows (that I apparently like so much)...
-Neon Genesis Evangelion...just the first few episodes. Not sure what I think yet, but isn't this one of the classic mecha series or something? :P
NGE is also a really deep anime, it's heavy on the philosophical views on life...
It's a good anime, although it doesn't appear so at first glance...
So, from my experience, all I can say is keepwatching, it's worth it...
I'm batshit insane enough without more mindfucckage, thank you.

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!
Quote from: "Bella"
Next up in my queue: Gurren Lagann!
I saw first episode of it just last week... Gurren Lagann deserves! ;010
Also I am watching again Dragon Ball (I think it is Dragon Ball Z) on italian broadcast, together with One Piece that I dislikes, and so I see it with no particular interest...
Also I see sometimes Nana and "The Boondocks" on MTV.
MTV it is also airing FMP Fumoffu, but I am loosing all episodes.. ;014
Still rewatching old stuff. Last Exile again.
I'm following Code Geass R2, it's finally good again after episode 15 that is.
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 was watching some Kyouran Kazoku Nikki, the other day. It's chaotically awesome!
Last one was... Lost Universe ('98 ). One great anime for sure. And only after I finished it I realized: "Wait a minute... How come Canal is Me-tan?".
Actually, lately I'm mostly watching various Gundams, interrupting them with LU, Transformers: Masterforce and occasionally rewatching Trigun episodes :)
I know lost universe too, a really nice anime, bit I guess its just confidence that canal looks the same as ME-tan.
Also good stuff is :

Ok then have fun when you watch it !!
I've had Hidamari Sketch in the backlog for a while, started watching it now.

Yeah. I just realized, I might just be a bit too much of an otaku, lulz. -w-
lol, i think you have waaay too much time on your hands to be following that many series.
Or it might be me just being jealous that you DO have that much time on your hands. lol
I'm only following Index, Gundam 00, and ToA. Although I am seriously considering picking up Toradora from the things I'm hearing.
[break rules]Ah, haven't been here long either. ;)
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.
Other series that my EeePC ripped to shreds recently:
Gurren Lagann
Toshokan Sensou

...and a lot more stuff before I started getting serious about eliminating my backlog.
The pace is good -- I might just make it after all. :D
[/break rules]
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.

My old desktops were fast and had enough storage... but I couldn't sleep with them either. Not without the risk of electrocution anyway..... `v'
QuoteDear lawd, Nejin-san and C-Chan, those are some lists!

Just will need a while to transcode so many episodes, but i will get to it. Finally I'll be able to see evil PETchan. ^__^

Daggnam, this still feels weird being here. Starting to get goosebumps. >.<
I want to watch Code Geass II, DiGi Charat or Wolf's Rain next -- but besides that, if there really isn't anything interesting to report, guess I'll sign out.

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).

Aha! We finally got C-Chan to venture out of the art threads! I knew it was a good to hide a bunch of Linux-tans in the OT threads!
Chaos;head is an anime?
i thought it was a game O_O
Game-based Animu. There are some.
I have no idea what to watch.... Right now I'm rewatching the Minami-ke series. But I really have to get to something recent as well.
I saw a few episodes of Samurai Champloo yesterday...
...O__o
QuoteI have no idea what to watch.... Right now I'm rewatching the Minami-ke series. But I really have to get to something recent as well.
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-.
Well, I'll give some of these things you suggest a whirl, thanks.
I kinda fell by the wayside last spring, I started watching stuff but got sidetracked by lots of other things and then just dug out old stuff from my "archives". Time to get with the program again.
I'm watching toradora now; an d i have seen Natsume yujin, i recomend this one too, i liked it! it has a really good story
oh yeah i forgot how the page-layout starts looking after Bella and the pig (do a remake of belle and the beast haha) had a conversation; great big posts with a weave of quote/text/quote/text...
how i have spent way too much time trying to understand and read it all.... :D:D
Anywhoz i am currently watching Death Note...
And i'm savoring it cuz i want my next anime to be as badass as this one, as kick-ass as GITS or as LULZ as trigun... hard, hard...
Besides my 1,2TB on my PC's full and the 250GB on my lappie's also full... so i do have to savour it untill i buyz me a new HDD... :D
Dude... HOW do you fill up a 1,2 TB worth of hard drives? Did you just invent digital fat?
movies, anime, series, games, apps, windowses and a GB or 5 of old tools and drivers....
Simple really just never toss anything out and do not burn (i don't trust DVDs cuz they die after a year...)
Lately, I've been watching a fan sub of Lucky Star. So far, I kind of like it (It does seem weird watching an Anime that has no plot whatsoever from what I've heard from people who've seen every episode).
OH, THE RANDOMNESS!!!
Reminds me of Galaxy Angel...
Lucky Star reminded me of Azumanga in terms of atmosphere and pacing, but with more otaku randomness in it. heh
Recently, I haven't really been watching much anime. I'm just following Kara no Kyoukai as its releases slowly appear one by one.
This has to be the first time I see Lucky Star mentioned in a thread without getting trolled.
Shit, I've become an /a/tard, haven't I?
that is likely the case, good sir.
as for me, I lurk around /jp/ with my weeaboo-ness. haha
going somewhat back to topic, I took a small ani-break to start watching the Star Trek movies :P...
Quoteas for me, I lurk around /jp/ with my weeaboo-ness. haha
WHAT! Stay away from me, strange person! I don't want any of all your Touhou-whatever! IT HURTS MY EYES!!!
>_>
I'm going to a convention tomorrow and over the weekend, so I'll be in party mode all day long. AND NO SLEEP, SLEEP IS ONLY ALLOWED ON EASY MODE. Open 24/7, yay ^^
Party hard mode for me is 11 days long and involvs a campsite with ~2000 people partying just as hard as me (or even harder :P)... :D
so PARTY HARD
*smokey gets horrible flashbacks of party hard seisure posts Nej made a while ago*
HURR HURR HURR. _W_
Also, Maria+Holic. 'tis funnayh.
This season's new watchlist for me contains Maria+Holic, Akikan (i mean, seriously), DnT: Sword of Uruk, Birdy Decode 2 (SUBS FUKKEN WHEAR!?), Asu no Yoichi, Minami-ke 3, Slayers E-R, Sora Kake Girl, and possible Kemono no Souja Erin, Kurokami, Regios and Axis Powers. (Really, who can resist nazi comedy? NOBODY.)
Added after 1 minutes:
Particularly Maria+Holic just because I watched the first 5 minutes first, and gave up, then re-watched, and was like FUUCK YOOU SHAFT, YOU ARE SO AWESOME I CAN'T EVEN STAND LOOKING AT YOU!
LOL, nazi comedy?
*makes addition to watchlist*
Indeed, Lulz will be had.
Currently not watching anything due to school death ness... but recently finished rewatching FMA for the third time since my gf wanted to see it.
HAY GUISE
There's coming a new Full Metal Alchemist series this spring
:V
cool...
FMA is good animez... :D
Also, BRB, being an awesome sadist trap.
BRB...
i know you don't mean Be Right Back...
OH, I DON'T, NOW?
BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Eeeeh, do not understand and feel off-topicness coming...
Meaningly, watching Maria+Holic.
Seriously, the most awesome anime of this season. SHAFT is now god, alongside Haruhi.
Added after 54 seconds:
And also, without doubt, the most AWESOME OP I've ever seen in my entire damn life.
The ED is good too, but mainly for the music.
ah do get now... :D
And make sure to GET (http://tokyotosho.com) it too, boy!
will do... new anime = coolness...
Interesting!! I'm gonna get this one!
hey, DN...!!!
I'm watching that...
What is that? obviously not kenshin..... ^_^
Death Note...
caused quite a stirrup in China with students imitating such notes...
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_note#Banning_by_People.27s_Republic_of_China
Hee he heee.....
I've seen the dorama/live action but not the anime.... ^_^
Amane Misa kawaiiii.....
The anime I'm watching nowadays is Kara no Kyoukai and Akikan!
YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?
IT'S MINAMI-KE REWATCH TIEM, THAT'S WHAT!!! oVo
So, guys, I have a confession...
...I'm watching Higurashi.
I get the feeling I'm gonna take the brunt of all the mindfuckage in this animu...yandere Nejin get, perhaps? _>_
God I hope not. Thats the last thing we need.
However, awesome show is awesome. I kinda wanna get the DS port of the game now
THE LAST THING YOU NEED IS THE FIRST THING YOU'LL GET
AND THE LAST THING YOU WANT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NEED
7 episodes, I'm starting to break already. TEHEHE ^_^ :V
7? so your what, starting the 3rd arch? I forget, but i think it was 3 episode archs...
No, they're a bit CHOPPED up, so to say...
:v:[/color]
........
.............
....................
as if the show didnt fark with you enough as it is.
Sounds like Galaxy Angel....
That messed me up soo hard, i could only watch a couple of episodes...
unless Lolis are stabbing themselves in the head repeadedly with a knife, or people are getting nails hammered between the joints of their fingers, there is no way that Galaxy Angel comes close to as farked up as Higurashi
Seriously?... F-ed up in what way, BTW?... Cuz i likes some ways of F-ed up anime.....:D
Like a moth to a flame...
And its pretty F-ed up. I couldn't describe it to do it justice, but watch if you dare. My roomate watched just the first arch before he asked me not to watch it with him around anymore <_<
*goes off to watch and warp, torment and scare his brain*
umm now don't laugh but back to the thread topic i was diging through an old box of movies and dug out Dominion Tank Police so curently im watching that -p
hey, thats pretty good if I remember, one of thes first ones I saw on the Sci Fi channels saturday morning anime back in the day
ara, someone's talking about higurashi?
speaking of higurashi, where the heck did darknight go?
heh, I was looking through the first few pages, and I totally forgot I started this thread. wowzers, that was back in 06. I had just started my college career. A couple of names from back then that I wouldn't mind seeing around here again. /nostalgia
ehh, alot of people seem to have left, we have returned to our semi dead state we were before.
but yes, we have been talking higurashi
Ever changing I see.
Also HAY GUISE, ANIMU ABOUT MOTORCYCLES WITH ARMS. (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=6235)
Lol awesome.
Fergot teh chicks....
:D
HO-LY, SHIT!
I just watched the last episode of Death Note, and it was shocking, mildly dissapointing (because of what happened to L), touching, and genius...
This has raised the bar again for anime that i want to watch...
Pity that i have finished this series, actually...
What a shame...
Didnt like it :P
well, different people, different tastes, that makes the 1st w of www interesting...
haha differnent tasts.... toung... i see what you did thar
Currently, I'm watching this:
Twin Spika
Kaleido Star
Zero no Tsukaima!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_no_tsukaima)
i love this anime...!! Soooo much!!
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 read the manga and the novel too, i found that the novel is the most interesting.
Yes I have, its very good. I actually like the guy too, which is rare in anime :p
ZnT, huh...
Meh. Just another Kugimiya Rei Tsundere clone, add some magic and poof.
I'd get interested if they somehow succeeded in GOING BACK, though.
That'd be fun. -w-
Maria Sama ga Miteiru 4th season.
so lovely and beauty JKs... fantastic.
...but i read its novel already, so anime is... um. just so... so....
I started watching all the animu I own, which isn't alot I needs more... right now I'm watching Fate/Stay Night again oh my I think it's been two years...
good stuff that, i started rewatching stuff recently too, working on Chrono Crusade right now
I still need to watch magical pokaan!
yes you do! if you havent by Sakura con, imma make you then >:3 you have to get a good feel for your cosplay character!
Need to watch OHSHC again, for the lulz...
OHCOSOHSOwhat, was, that, exactly?
Ouran High School Host Club, all this talk about MOEEEEE~ <3 made me wanna watch it again...
AWWWWWW
MOEEEEEEEE
ITS STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN~~~~~ <3<3<3<3<3<3
<3 moe. I'm craving some more Zero no Tsukaima, if they pump out another season... I'll be drunk when that happens. I usually am. Uh...
Toaru Majutsu no Index has been cool lately. Index. Kawaii. They rhyme in my head. Index moe...
My thought process is drifting again...
xxxHolic shunmuki, tis the best!
I'm just finished watching Bamboo Blade....

I like this sort of anime! Easy storyline, no hard conflicts, kawaii characters, has "never give up" moral message, kamenrider, etc.
i feel refreshed and ready to face any problem after i watch this!
I actually took a break from anime to watch a documentary about the worlds first big nuclear accident...
But i was watching Tokyo Mew-Mew wich wasn´t what i expected after getting used to stuff like Death Note, GITS, and NGE... I like that deep stuff...
NGE....!
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!
Well, i kinda like them animes with a deep, somewhat disturbing storyline...
Tama-chan's much too moe in that pic, you...did someone shove Red Braver up her ass or something? -w-
I just finished Kannagi... Now I want a second season.
Uhn... Nejin. Produce it?
Fund it. >:3
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.

Anyone know where i can find it? The fansubber?

XXXholic
Karin
think thats it right now...
Started watching Code Geass, looks interesting...
Also started watching Clannad... ............ ....... Made me go from WTF?! to hmm interesting and everything in between... O_O
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.
will do... first ep was interesting enough to keep we watching... :D
As for CG, yes it is a bit hard to grasp, but i was interested enough by that one too, so i'll keep watching that one aswell...
Bamboo Blade seems pretty cool.
Uhn... Need a new fansub. Huzzah-Doremi sounds too inaccurate...
Is CHAOS;HEAD any good?
Didn't fancy much. I dunno.
Quote from: "Smokey"Started watching Code Geass, looks interesting...

Smokey, you got a good taste about anime..... ^.^
Code Geass? Yeaaahhh!! Rockssss!!!
Clannad? It's good!! Nice story...... I choose Kyou here.....
Like i said, i like this kind of violent but cute girl.... T_T
Review the episode 17 while Tomoya and Kyou locked in the sport equipment room..... ahhhh!
I'm gonna find the VN....! I have to! I want to see her ending....!
Added after 5 minutes: Nejin must be feeling insecure because of i'm talking about vn here.... poor Nejin....!
By the way, have you play Tomoyo Fighter? It's a Clannad based doujin beat em up game.... it's fun... really!
Code Geass....
Only it is wasn't that short...
*sniff* the memories....
I know!! *sniff*
The question is "Why he have to die?".....
Why he isn't faking it?
Insecure? Watch your mouth, oi. I only do that when it comes to equations utilizing over at least 7 dimensions.
I just think it's plain old shitty crap, that's all ->-
QuoteInsecure? Watch your mouth, oi. I only do that when it comes to equations utilizing over at least 7 dimensions.
Of course, even Nagato wouldn't be able to solve a problem that caliber.
QuoteI just think it's plain old shitty crap, that's all ->-
Why did you hate it so much? Did your mom cought you while you're enjoying some of this shitty crap?
That's the reason right? You should be more careful next time geez! ^_^
I am getting the feeling that most (or a lot of) VNs are hentai or ecchi...
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.
hey sex sells... Durex can't survive without putting sex in their products...
No, that's one letter too much...
I don't quite get it.... but i get the glimpse though.... irrational....
Baka dakara na.. ha ha....
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....
That's mean, people of Europe that like VNs are mostly pervert.... ha.. ha .. ha....
I'm a dutch guy, i hail from the world capital of perversity... (oh wait, make that the western capital of perversity, Japan is one step beyond... ^_^)
Yeah, not also in perversity, Japan also the capital of creativity....
There's so much artist in that small of a country.....
So much cute girls.....
So much technology......
aaaahhhh...... i'm jealous!
Well, that's true, what other country has an invention art scene where the inventions aren't allowed to be functional, they just have to be fun... ^_^
Since I finished Lucky Star a while back, I decided to watch Outlaw Star (A personal favorite of mine) for the first time in nearly 7 years. I'm about to feel old, guys...
Pfft, old... i was already three when my first Akira came out...
Should probably watch that one again, too....
Yugioh 5D's and Toradora
Yu-Gi_oh, Eh?... Never could spark my attention...
I think yu-gi_oh is interesting...The monster design that is o_o
Currently watching Darker than Black and Nodame Cantabile
Perhaps, it's because it's hyped too much here... There's yu-gi-oh everything, from mugs to cards (16 different kinds of cards, from the original to stuff you get at the supermaket) to tv to dvds to everything...
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.
Exactly...
Thereof the wisdom of the SAGE: Animu that are popular with the masses (the vast majorities of /a/ included) = SUCK.
I've recently started watching Gurren Lagann. So far, I like it.
Ah, TTGL... Good anime...
You should see MisterCat if you need further convincing... ^_^
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...
Ah, yes... Idiot parents are indeed everywhere... ^_^
Currently watching:
- Queen's Blade (yeah, fanservice overloaded, but why not? ^^")
- K-ON! (It's quite good so far, and not only because of the hype!)
- Saki (I don't know how to play mahjong, but they managed to keep it interesting)
- Valkyria Chronicles (interesting base situation, have high hopes about that one)
Gun X Sword and the Witchblade anime
Finished all the Aria seasons. Shame on me for not watching them earlier.
That good ?
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.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY I DIDN'T EVEN
OMGFTWBBQ!!!!
[quickly check the calendar]
Is this real or just some joke???? I never heard or expect it, but what the hell is that? Seriously??
IT'S REAL SRSLY
Those damn sneaky bastards kept the entire production in the dark, revealing it just like 5 days before broadcast, when the station said it was gonna air...
SRSLY WTF
ooh, that's fuuuuuun... ;006
Like; SURPRISE! here's a new season!!! ^_^
The best surprise buttsecks the world has ever seen.
That's pretty strange... I haven't watched Suzumiya Haruhi, is it any good?
It's hard to describe it with words.....
Watch it and you'll know!!
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
This one is the same thing as the first...

ToraDora

Anyone here still interested in anime? Uhh...
I don't watch a lot of anime anymore because there's very little of it on TV where I live (mainly just "Bleach", "Code Geass" and some other things on Adult Swim. Good shows but they're only on like once a week :( ) and I'm usually too busy to watch any episodes online but the anime and manga series "Axis Powers Hetalia" caught my attention a few days ago and I became an instant fangirl! :D
Which reminds me
I've been away from the animu world for a whole month now.
My reaction to this can me summed up as
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Im currently watching YuGiOh 5D's (subbed, of course). Its pretty damn good.
I also like YuGiOh 5Ds! When I first heard of it and its premise, I thought it would be the most preposterous YuGiOh series yet-- dueling on motorbikes!-- I thought the series was jumping the shark but when I watched it for the first time I was impressed by this dystopian and edgier YuGiOh and the whole dueling on motorbikes thing is actually pretty cool! :D
Seriously? I guess I'm going take a look at that.
And for the reason why, I haven't watch anything new these last days.
FULL METAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD!!!!
Quote from: "Tristan, Yugioh season 2"In the future, people will duel on MOTORBIKES!

maybe tomorrow i'll watch it. :]
Just finished Natsu no Arashi - apparently season 1, since there was a TBC message left at the end of the last episode, which, by the way, contained every character on the show wearing randomly changing swimsuits and/or cosplay (and i mean like, changing every 2 scenes or so, I was all liek "wtf!?"). Anyway, awesome TIME PARADOX show, do watch. ALSO SHAFT FUCKYEAH

hey it's just a list of titles i thought were interesting that i found in 1 guys filelist on DC... ^_^
Plus i don't need to kill myself, when i join the airforce i have enemies to do that for me :P
Get your ass on some hub I recognize, and spend a night leeching off my share, PLEASE.

Naah, have no VIP status anywhere, just a reg at Otaku Anime Heaven
Well, on the 10mbit+only hubs I go to, you have to use your ISP as prefix, so meh.
heh, yeah, that can clutter up a nick if it's paired with clan/vip prefixes
Anyways...
Watching Angel Heart now...
I decided to do them alphabetically, since it's such a long list ^_^
Uhhh, smokey, that's quite a lot of anime.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Heart_(manga)#Setting
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".
started watching CANAAN as well...
So far so good... ^_^
Quotethey had to edit a scene in which a lady originally died, and added an ambulance
I've watch it and indeed, that's not the only scene they change.
And...oh boy, just how much reference of other anime in Hayate No Gotoku? Only episode 13 and there's ton of them.
You don't want to ask that.
That's like asking how much robots there are in Gundam...
Okay, that is scary numbers. Well at least I lol so hard every time I watch it.
That's a good thing...
LOL and Anime mix well ^_^
currently watching Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Watching Slayers Revolution horraaay <3
I watch basicly anything that is popular with the interwebs, I mainly liked Deathnote, Code Geass and Big O.
After a long animeless time. Spice and Wolf II.
uhm, a few days ago i almost got through ep. 4 of xXxholic, but was interupted, cause i had to go to the doctor. :[
i have to get back to mah grandma's quick, the episode ends on friday. :[
INB4 FMP:Fumoffu rewatch. -w- <3
Bakemonogatari and Bleach
Fumoffu rewatch complete, onwards to S1 and TSR.
oh i almost forgot
Quote from: "Alex_Reetz"I watch basicly anything that is popular with the interwebs, I mainly liked Deathnote, Code Geass and Big O.
BIG O!!!!! OwO and death not ain't bad either.
oh, and, BOUGHT ENTIRE SERIES OF SHOW FOR $10. AND SPECIAL EDITION BOX OF ANOTHER FOR $6. (and it came w/ the soundtrack cd!! ^^ )
i luv newbury comics. ^^
For some reason, Kämpfer appeals to me. Ask me not why. :3 So that is what I'm starting this season with.
Negima!?
God I LOVE those girls...
Kämpfer was meh. Might see where it goes though, the setting is appealing enough...but we'll see.
Also NEEDLESS. Pedo-Blade is so damn awesome, man. Srsly.
Added after 16 seconds:
(I blame /a/ ;_; )
Just watched the first episode, it was ok I guess. it was primarily the gender bending thing that got me interested tho.
That's what gets people going these days, ne~ -w-;
last episode of series i bought = corrupt = can't watch ;269
haven't watched the special edition yet tho. :\ will watch later tonite, if this .rar would F-ING HURRY UP OH GAWDS O___O;
anyway, recent animes incude Negima!, Solty Rei, xXx Holic, Shufflle!, death note (a few weeks ago), Please Save My Earth (corrupted one ;__; ), and .hack legend of the twilight (special edition one).
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? ^^
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. -.-
how about fullmetal alchemist brotherhood?
is there anyone "currently" watching this anime beside me ?
Hoi~.
I'm following pretty much everything these days >_>
FMA:B is quite good, though. Way better than the old animu at this point, as it goes on into way more interesting plotlines.
if it played on tv, i'd watch it. :3
Quote from: "Chocofreak13"if it played on tv, i'd watch it. :3
why don't watch in megavideo (for example)
Because streamfags = hurr durr

640gb HDD GET.
First post decides what I start downloading -w-
lol, how do i shot web?
anyway, never very much into watching anime on the 'puter, it's not exactly comfy down here. :\ i associate anime-viewing w/ gettin' comfy on the couch/bed/whatever. bt it's cold, with back pain down here. :\
You seriously need a new computer, choco!
I might see to helping you with that, though. -w-
and how might that work, hmm? this one runs vista, and i'm afraid to breathe on it, for pierre lurks around every corner, waiting to slit my throat at the slightest alteration to his precious beast.
anyhoo, more on-topic, today consisted of 2 episodes of solty rei, one of negima! and of shuffle!. and, due to loss of information, my plans for today fell through, so i spent the day at barnes and nobel reading manga till i was picked up.
Dug out the anime that got me interested in anime. Namely "Windaria". Old thing, from 1986. Wow, a blast from the past.
just the usual, solty rei, shuffle!, negima!, death note, and xXxholic. (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=907a7c854abb9f92b94117dade8fc295e04e75f6e8ebb871)
(decided to give y'all a lil' present. it's the xXxholic opening, 19sai.)

There is so much yuri slash between sakura and tomoyo it's scary, because lesbians aren't my thing.

Hmm,Currently watching Seitokai no Ichizon eps.1-4
It's very funny,the best anime i've ever seen! >_<
Especially eps.4,i laughed a lot everytime i watch it
I'm watching Naru Taru (aka: "Shadow Star"). Currently on episode 4!
Pan Poni Dash and to some extent Shikabane Hime
i have yet to watch any of the .hack DVDs i have acquired.
.....STUPID PS2 *KICK*
NHK ni Yookoso... (at episode 6)
previously watched Canaan and Eden of the East [finished both in last 2 weeks]
waiting for this season's to finish airing before starting on them [esp seitokai]
Nobody watching Queen's Blade OR Kamper uh... I watch most of the current new season that is out beats most TV so it works for me.
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!!!! I can not wait!
OH geez i'll just give about 5 of them to prevent long post:
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Lucky Star
Shugo Chara
Ouran Koukou Host Club
Magister Negi Magi
New acquisitions: rewatch of Potemayo, Bakemonogatari and Seto no Hanayome.
Also: CENCOROLL, an OVA by SHAFT. Srsly - this is divine. Watch NAO.
hmmm... I'll limit it mostly to the new stuff so seitokai no ichizone Kampfer, needless, and fist of the blue sky. I just joined an anime club and they got me wanting to watch G Gundam again so I'm doing that now.
Saber Marionette J
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.
Just finished watching the Stratos 4 OVAs, about three years after getting the original series. Nice to finish it.
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.
I found myself watching 50 roughly 50 episodes of Bleach last night.
What the flying hell was I thinking?! >_>
Quote from: "NejinOniwa"I found myself watching 50 roughly 50 episodes of Bleach last night.
What the flying hell was I thinking?! >_>
I've done something similar to that...not with Bleach though. I watched the entire Fushigi Yuugi series in one day. Naturally, I had work a few hours after finishing the series...
Funny thing is, I did this with the series that really got me seriously into anime (Neon Genesis Evangelion)...I was SUPPOSED to be working on some english essay though...
Watching The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya, rarely do I laugh that hard. Not technically anime, but came across "I'M THE JUGGERNAUT" the other day.
QuoteFunny thing is, I did this with the series that really got me seriously into anime (Neon Genesis Evangelion)...I was SUPPOSED to be working on some english essay though...
On the contrary, I never seem to be able to do this with actually qualitative animu, for some odd reason...

fine then, on my netbook running linux played on VLC all fansubbed... ya happy now lol (actually i have retired the ipod since i have all the space i need on my usb drive for music and movies and a bigger better screen)
Yo' ain't makin' no sense, dawg.
Right now I'm starting to watch Chobits (somehow I get the feeling I'll marathon it and end up sleeping through half the day ._.)
Gunslinger Girl II - Il Teatrino.
Same here, the first series being one of my favs.
I have a feeling I might have to rewatch Chobits about soon...for various reasons. >_>
Now watching Innocent Venus and Geneshaft...
And rewatching Death Note...
Quote from: "Red-Machine"Gunslinger Girl II - Il Teatrino.
How do you like it? Because I've heard a lot of so-so reviews. :(
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.
i've been watching alot of avatar recently, since we got upgraded cable about 2 months ago. :3 (other than that, slim pickins' for anime at home.)
other than that, the usual: solty rei, negima!, shuffle!, gunslinger girl: il teatrino, and xXxholic.
I've just started watching Read or Die.
EDIT: Finished it over 12 hours ago, still going WTF when I think about it.
I've seen Read or Die the movie, not the series though.
Hmm, in light of new developments I might check out GSG II.
@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?
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.
Index is too much loli for them to handle, maybe? -w-;
avatar is anime in my book. :\ it's better quality than other cartoons. :\
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...
Zero no Tsukaima is, IMO pretty whitewash...
...and all too much boin.
QuoteZero no Tsukaima is, IMO pretty whitewash...
???
As in censorship?
Quote...and all too much boin.
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.
True that, true that...
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.
Well, yeah. But isn't that usually the case about open-ended series?
Lately I've mostly just been trying to keep up with Bleach and FMA: Brotherhood...
I also live in the DFW area and Funimation is starting to show some Anime episodes in theaters :D
~Troop
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.
Currently watching To Aru Kagaku no Railgun.
Personally i never got passed episode 3 of Rozen Maiden. Could not stand the boy.
Just finished yakitate japan. now i want some bread..
Watching, and playing for that mater, Disgaea
My anime watching has stalled, but my Manga reading/planned manga reading has skyrocketed.
With the release of Gundam Unicorn, it seems I'll be having to delve deeper into the CE and UC history of the franchise...
EDIT: Screw that, sounds boring anyway. Spent an hour researching Lagrange Points instead. -w-;
finished yakitate japan a while back
watching tentai senshi sunred
I watch full metal panic sometimes when i want to laugh a bit ^^ Except that, i watch black lagoon sometimes.
Seikon no Qwaser, if I'm manage to find time.
Toaru Majutsu no Index. Mainly for Kuroko Shirai XD
watching darker than black
Currently On: Jing King of Bandits.
cooking master boy
Black blood brothers
Watching Hanamaru Youchien. The shows Moe overload grabbed me by the neck,pinned me down and mercilessly stabbed me at various vital organs with a rusty stool which left me craving for more ^^.
black blood brothers, buso renkin, shuffle!
i need to catch up on xXxholic, solty rei, gunslinger girl, and negima!
I'm gonna try watching K-On!
Do it! No regrets!
Do eet. I'm actually rewatching it right now, to update drivers for the second season that arrives in spring season...good stuff.
Sadly, I'm essentially confined to the manga. I have seen the first three episodes though.
Though now I'm concentrating on watching Pumpkin Scissors.
also have been (in the past few weeks) been viewing kimi ni todoke and taisho yakyuu musume.
k-on, is it good? :\
I've seen the first five episodes of K-On, I'm really liking it. It's quite good if you ask me, and I'm a difficult person to please when it comes to anime. xD
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... >.<;;
QuotePumpkin Scissors is an odd name for a war story. O.o
Two words: Anti-tank Pistol

Also, HETALIA RETURNS. I've missed you guys ;___;
And on the OVA side...
TETHE'ALLA-HEN~<3<3<3
excel saga but is trying to stop
lol. tried watching k-on, couldn't get past 1st ep XD
watching GAO GAI GAR and Hajime no ippo 2nd series
I'm not sure I keep switching because I keep getting craptastic ones
in anime club, we're watching Kimi No Todoke (reccomended) and Heroman.
HI-RO-MAN-U~~~
Pani Poni Dash, sometimes Ergo Proxy
canaan.. TYPEMOON FUCK YEA!
forgot to bring PSME to club, but yea....
2 weeks from now, please save my earth....
Quote from: "Stewart-san"Pani Poni Dash, sometimes Ergo Proxy
OMG, me too :V And Slayers s4.
How're you liking Ergo Proxy? I wasn't so keen on it initially, but it's starting to grow on me a bit. The animation is gorgeous, that's for sure...
Quote from: "Zen-san"canaan.. TYPEMOON f*** YEA!
Oooh, Canaan is an excellent series! I think Canaan and Alphard are pretty kickass, as far as anime heroines/anti-heroines go. ^^
PPD is luv. Bella, are you referring to Slayers Revolution, or something else?
I've tried Canaan a few times, but never actually gotten all the way through...meh.
;____; *wishes i could torrent so i could understand*
PPD's on Hulu
hmmmm
when shitty gets working i will watch :3
OMG, I'm watching PPD on Hulu too~!
Hulu doesn't have a half-bad selection of anime... actually, there are a lot of really good titles (Higurashi, Now and Then Here and There, Gurren Laggan, among others...)
Indeed, that's where I watch most of mine these days.
I am currently watching
Naruto Shippuden
Dragonball Z
Bleach.
;____; needs moar obscure~
And now I'm watching Murder Princess. Defies satisfying description.
watching K-ON with my lil sis.
Hoo. Second season as well?
Im currently watching "working!!" It's kinda fun but i have only watched the first 2 eps so far. Also i finished halo legends today if that counts as an anime. Before i watched halo legends i finished area 88 wich i havn't seen since i were 14 years old XD
Hi there.....So far today I have only taken in this weeks Naruto, but I am considering doing some catching up with Gundam 00 later on. Only watched up to 15 and should probably finish the season off.
Quote from: "NejinOniwa"Hoo. Second season as well?
not yet
so i'm watching hanamaru kindergarden now with my sis.
and still watching gaogaigar when i'm alone.
Still haven't seen more the first couple of episodes of Season 1 K-On, and now OneManga's pulled the manga. "Pissed" does not adequately cover my feelings. Though I did finish Murder Princess.... that was pretty interesting.
Currently in Rewatch of the most RAGE-inducing-yet-enjoyable animu of the recent times: Sasameki Koto ~YURI IS FINE BUT ONLY IF YOU GET OFF YOUR ASS AND CONFESS TO HER YOU USELESS PIECE OF~
That said, merely the firstest track played in the first episode contains enough WINNAGE to build half of Olympus Mons. -w-
EDIT: FINDING A GOOD SEED IS A RECTAL ACHE, THOUGH
EDIT AGAIN: Also, BRâ˜...S is up soon, trailer is available on torrent (http://www.anirena.com/viewtracker.php?action=download&id=35278). GET IT AND REJOICE CUZ IT'S NOT FAR OFF ^V^
Reached episode 140 of Konjiki no Gash Bell just now.. saving the last 10 episode for weekend.
Quote from: "stewartsage"Still haven't seen more the first couple of episodes of Season 1 K-On, and now OneManga's pulled the manga. "Pissed" does not adequately cover my feelings. Though I did finish Murder Princess.... that was pretty interesting.
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<;
Wow, Acher-- episode 140? You must have a lot of patience, I usually can't stand anime over 20-some episodes (Fullmetal Alchemist would be a rare exception to above rule).
the longest anime and still goin would be katekyo hitman reborn, but i'm getting tired as it goin to ep 180.
as for gash bell, well i just love to see him cry after being teased =P
also, BRâ˜...S is soon right? I thought it was gonna start on april but then the site announced it on june..
Quote from: "Acher13"the longest anime and still goin would be katekyo hitman reborn, but i'm getting tired as it goin to ep 180.
one piece has 450 and still going acher :P
detective conan has 570++ and still going

Quote from: "Acher13"

yeah and to think after hundreds of cases they would have graduated. XD
It's like the Hardy Boys
Finished Gash Bell last night even when I said I'm saving it for this weekend.. oh well, starting magipoka now.
currently watching Shakugan No Shana season 2 finished the first season a day ago
Great series! :D
Currently Gun Sword and Speed Grapher are on my consideration list, but we'll see where that goes.
I just finished Ergo Proxy. It was one helluva mind-screw, in an amazing way. It's totally getting a place as one of my favourite anime... :D
Speed Grapher was... meh. I watched a dozen or so episodes, never could get into it the story or develop a liking for the characters and finally gave up on it. :\
I didnt know there's a lucky star OVA until yesterday.. I gonna watch it nao since the download just finished.
There's thinking outside of the box and Living outside the box, you're currently doing one of them... -w-;
I'm living outside of the box but sometimes I'd like to get in there and transform into mecha guy >=]
lol after watching a lot of hot blooded shounen stuff. watching moe moe stuff becomes enjoyable from time to time.
watching hanamaru kindergarden
I am watching Naruto and Pokemon. I rally like these anime because they are not only about adventures but also about love story. The artists of those anime were really fantastic.
I am currently watching Naruto, but my absolute favorite anime of all time is Ouran High School Host Club.
Nowadays, I needed something strange stuff, so I decided to start Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, as I heard it's pretty odd. Yeah, it managed to meet my expectations of crazy - and it's fun, in it's twisted way, ehehe~
Currently rewatching AMG, season 1 clear, season 2 up to ep7, currently watching ep8.
I've watched 32 episodes over 2 days (not including DRRR and other stuff). Lulzy. -w-;
Kiss x sis Series: It's cute and funny and never lays off the fan service.
I am looking to watch School days, but I heard they kill a loli....that's just evil man..... : (
Full Metal Panic. Weird alternate realities FTW?
really should catch up on all my anime....
avatar the last airbender counts, right? (after that, i watched please twins! a few weeks ago.)
started Kaleido Star
No anime for me D:
I don't think Avatar's an anime... not to demean it, but anime by definition if Japanese-produced animation. I'd call it anime-like, since it's stylistically similar to anime but a western work (just like The Boondocks).
That's rough Stew. You don't have any DVDs or vids on your computer? D:
Well, I do have Haruhi Suzumiya and the first two discs of Yukikazi. But hopefully every Sunday for the rest of the summer I'll be able to get in some Strike Witches and some other ones.
Spice & Wolf: For the Economics.
I've finished CLANNAD vol.1,2, and After Story.
Such a heartbreaking moment was when Nagisa died, brought back alot of memory's from my life because of the sadness.
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.
IN THE NOW - WORKING!! is kicking things up a notch. Top class, really. -w-
finished gurren lagann movies over the weekend
watching daiguard
I got both season of Rozen Maiden, gonna rewatch this to spend the time.
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.
Watchin only one anime (浦安é‰,,ç‹å®¶æ—), reading Ranma 1/2 manga (Eng), One piece (Japanese). any é'å¹´ã,,,å°'å¹´ materials recommended?

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.
Highschool of the dead, Ookami-san and 7 companion
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:
........i can't torrent, so no new anime for mee. ;___;
but i recieved the entire series of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar last month, and recently got the live action of Here is Greenwood, so watching that. Also stole I Dream of Mimi (from same person that gave me snow fairy set) but sadly, it won't play in my ps2, so i had to give it back. (i stole it fair and square, dammit! >___< )

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. :\
Someone needs a torrent station pretty bad here...
Animetake.com usually has ddl mirrors, though, so that's easy pie.
ehhh, if i had a laptop i'd watch anime online. it's hard to get comfy in a cold, smelly basement in a dinky office chair. :\
also, FINALLY (emphasis on FINALLY) watched the last episode of season 1 of xXxholic, which i had been meaning to watch since last year.
[/fail]
Mitsudomoe... well, not too moe tho... xD
I saw Grave of the Fireflies today.
And, how'd it go Aurora-hime......?
Lives up to its hype as one of the greatest tear-jerkers!
Have you seen it too?
I have, despite my typical moratorium on depressing anime/manga/cartoons/comics

I feel that this is true...
Curse whatever that thing is that means I can't see 4-chan images.
sucks for you
Soul eater, fate/stay night, maid-sama

Can't find any torrents of K-on!! right now....
(MAID-SAMA FTW!!!)
@aurora: i saw the first half of grave of the fireflies, and even then i was getting all depressed. (don't spoil anything, i wanna track down a copy and finish it. ^^)
@Bell: i've been considering anime online. but i've been spending so much time on the computer that my dad hasn't stoped being his ol, complainy-ass self about it. (that man could nitpick about ANYTHING.)
oh, and guys,
THE
TATAMI
GALAXY
ftw. ^^
Hm, it may seem strange but i think I'll just stick to the Maid-sama manga. When the English release catches up to where I am.
i was planning on doing that, too. .____.
watched the first 2 episodes (out of 10, 11 if you cound the ova) of hand maid may yesterday. made of cute. ^^ (and it really is like a bunch of different animes spliced together. xD)
Watched Black Rock Shooter yesterday... and it kinda sucks T^T
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.
Well they do have Great bgm and the graphic was quite good... too bad for the plot tho...
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.
The ending imo made me expect some sort of TBC - I mean, we can always hope...
I hope that was actually some demo and the real deal is coming later, nah,.
on the other notes, I just watch Lupin: The Castle of Cagliostro.
Classic! I missed this story.
Watched the ten minute Hyrakko OVA. Cake + les yay + Torako + megganeko friend = winning combination.
I'm watching... Highschool of the Dead. And Kaichou wa Maid-sama. And Amagami SS. And Asobi ni Iku Yo! And K-on!
Nyaaaa.
Watching:
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
K-on! Season 2
Amagami SS
High School of The Dead
Seitokai Yakuindomo
Next to watch:
Strike Witches 1&2
Strike Witches
Watching:
Strike Witches season 2
Seitokai Yakuindomo
Dropped:
Amagami SS (Just to herpderp for me)
HSOTD (WAY to much fan service -strike witches evens FS with story way better-)
K-on! Season 2 (Its good but it dragged on for to long so I just dropped it)
Waiting for:
Strike Witches season 2 ep.8
Toaru Majutsu no index season 2
Strike Witches Season One, next Sora No Woto and finishing Saki
Yes, Index series 2 is a must.
just finished watching the tatami galaxy ep. 7......4 more to go ^^
On episode 11 of Strike Witches Season One. Yoshika makes me want to put my head through a wall sometimes. Important lesson so far: the Fleet Air Arm is evil.
Why is the FAA evil sage?
Waiting for Ep 8 of SW2 to come out...
Maloney's uniform looks more Royal Navy then any RAF uniform I've ever seen, even with the proper cap badge Imma still call him FAA.
Claymore time. Let's see what happens now.
I am currently watching Mushishi, re-watching K-ON! (so I can go on to the second season!), and veery slowly watching Welcome to the NHK!
Just finished Angel Beats!
It was very well done, but I do wish that they had more of a exact ending to what happened after Yuzuru and Kanade met again in life.
One episode of Occult Academy, Strike Witches 2, and soon Hyakko
TOKYOTOSHOKAN IS DOWN
WHAT THE FLARK
I haven't watched anything new since finishing Aria last year. But I rewatched Minami-ke Okawari this weekend. I need to sink my teeth into something new though, not sure what yet.
Edit: No wait, Aria wasn't the last thing, it was Hidamari Sketch: Hoshimittsu.
Just finished Seikirei Season 1, starting on Season 2.
welcome to the NHK

...while I finish off Strike Witches 2. Strike Witches 3 in the CBI or Alaska maybe?
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?
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 wonder what would happen if strike witches and touhou ran into each other... wait never mind that could have a lot of problems with it....maybe...
Strawberry Panic! and Magic Knight Rayearth (season 2, sigh). x)
Magic Knight Rayearth, hm, I really should finish season one.
MKR was the first anime I ever saw and knew was an anime. Or rather, the first I ever even saw the opening from. ^^ It took a good while after the opening to actually see the series.
So, there was this animu about a girl with tentacle hair...
NO SRSLY, LOOK AT THIS (http://fffansubs.com/?p=3555#comments)
Seen a few things about it, still have no idea what's going on.
It's pretty funny stuff though.
Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu (romajified so it doesn't look like redundant garbage to the untrained eye)
Sora no Otoshimono Forte
LOL HEROES FUCKYEAH
I forgot about Super Robot Taisen OG - The Inspector. I luvs me sum mechas.
So, guise, I watched the first ep of Yosuga no Sora...
I have no words.
(ノã,∀・)~ã,ラ☆ KIRABOSHI!
Unlimited Blade works was pretty good, I thought that they did a nice job with it.
I ask myself why I haven't watched Azumanga yet, so I start watching it...
...this shit is gonna break me. -_-;
Quote from: "NejinOniwa"So, guise, I watched the first ep of Yosuga no Sora...
I have no words.
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...
QuoteAwh. Wish there were some 16:9 raws...
Really, no. You don't.
Saint Seiya, latter half of Hades starting.
Going to get Evangelion 1.01 You Are (Not) Alone
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). -.-;
Fate is screwing with me. Plus, it was actually 2.0 that they had. I misread the title. That was the one I really wanted. Fuck Walmart.
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~
Walmart: screwing with customers minds since... whenever it was Walmart was founded. = =
Pokemon? Really, Nej, reallllly?
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.
Wait, you're better then GARY MOTHERFUCKING OAK?
Gary?
Gary Motherthefuckening Oak?
That guy can't even find my pants. Or his own, for that matter.
master, i'm unsure if you even HAVE pants.
i wish the pokemon here was semi-cool like the japanese pokemon
just finished hand maid may today (including the ova) so i'm wondering where to go next, maybe finish the tatami galaxy?
Just finished up K-on!! I fell pretty sad that the series is over but at least it said "k-on! movie announced! OH YEA!" at the end which made me suppa excited.
One Piece. Thanks to Kari :P
Quotemade me suppa excited.
YOU DAMN FLASHER >_>
YAY I SPREADS THE VIRUS JOY OF LOVE AND PIRACY~~~~
hm, i should get back into that series. got cut off when arabasta arc ended :\
get yer head outta the gutter, nej -___-;
Too much touhou in my brain, simply... >_>
don't we all have too much touhou in our brains?
don't we all. -w-
K-On! anime: Seen maybe five episodes total between the first and second season.
K-On! manga: Every single chapter.
Finally got Rebuild 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone thanks to the price gougers at Best Buy.
Wooo!
I've haven't been price-gouged for anime yet. Heeeeeee. â—"‿â—"
Next year. You.

Cowboy Bebop is on tv. Good tiems, despite the fricken' emergency alert broadcast.

that song is actually my new facebook quote. xD
i saw an episode of cowboy bebop last night that i recognized. it made me so happy, i actually remember watching that in 7th grade. ;v;
Oh, and it's Tuesday in japan, which means DRAGONS AND TREASURE HUNTERS and ZOMBIES AND NECROMANCERS AND MASOU SHOUJOS AND VAMPIRE NINJAS AND WTF ELSE IS THERE IN THIS SHOW DAMN YOU is on.
Cowboy Bebop is extremely nostalgic for me, it's one of the first anime series I really got into. ^^
Considering giving Puella Magi Madoka Magica a look, since it sounds interestuhn~ -W-
Madoka Magica is good, but it's...mindfuck. Dimensionally.
Oh, and Dragon Crisis served up a healthy dose of INTERSPECIES RELATIONSHIPS this week. Lulz were had.

Obbbbbbviously.
I'm still doubtful of it's mind-effing-ness, I guess I'll just have to give it a watch to find out for myself. |)
Wait 'til it hits episode three, then you're gonna see some serious shit.
Just watched and finished Desert Punk.
It was fuaking awesome, Totally rewatchable
Watched the first four episodes of Madoka Magica. Mind: screwed. @.@
Also gonna give Star Driver a look on recommendation from our resident demon~
K-On! series 2.
Ritsu: My mind... is full of FUCK.
One of these days I'm going to bother with watching the K-On! second series. Or the rest of the first.
I gave the first three episodes of Star Driver a watch. Verdict: dis seems interesting. -W-
KIRABOSHI!
And finally, I get what you've been talking about all this time .W.

M-MIKURU BEAM!!
Getting ready to watch some Gosick and Madoka Magica episode five.
Added Level E to my roster.

Magnificent Bastard, grade 9. >:3
IT'S ANIMU NEJ! :V
Hourou Musuko's 5th episode is taking longer to get out than the ones before. ._. I cannot wait! >o<
It really has been a long time since I've caught up with a series and am eagerly awaiting the next episode Madoka Magica.
Madoka Magica reminds back when I was still being introduced to fansubbed anime and my obsession with My HiME. The Kajiura music certainly helped with that connection. haha

Yay, I'm watching Madoka Magica too. It's awesome. >O<
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‿ಠAnd I giggled like a teenage boy all. throughout. episode. 7.
I FOUND PANTY THEFT FUNNY.
FUUUUUUUUUUUU~
Dangit, Bro-ya. -w-
Oh, also. While I was dl'ing SW for the first time, I came upon something vaguely interesting/strange...
There's a decensored version of that panty-theft episode. And parts of the rest of the series.
Despite whatever implications carried, I have to say, kudos to whoever did that. That takes some damn load of work to pull through with.
Finished Strike Witches S1 today; I enjoyed it, even if I did sort of want to punch Miyafuji-chan in the face toward the end there. Now I want to check out S2. ^^

Season two is well done, Its nice to see the new setting and everything along with the people it brings.
Watching:
Madoka
Index II
IS
Merry
Zombie Desu (Just for kicks)
Finished:
First Squad (MOTHA RUSSIA)
All of Kraus' watchlist + Level E and Star Driver.
Also, on the OLD STUFF list: watching Azumanga and Zipang. Zipang is about a 21st century top-notch heavy battlecruiser that is timewarped from 2002 to the battle of Midway. Needless to say, COOL SHIT ensues. -w-
And speaking of watching stuff...
IS FUCKING WHERE?
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.
This show is fucked up on so many levels it's unreal. The murder I can deal with, but the time-jumping to periods before the people died and back again is a mindfuck.
SPOILERS, DUDE, SPOILERS. ><
I've seen a half dozen or so episodes before but I've always wanted to give it a complete watch. >>
I havne't given anything away you haven't already seen!
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is so great, even the English dubed version is good!
I like the time warp of it, keeps you guessing.
Starting Star Driver because I don't have anything else to watch right now (Thur-IS-day needs to come faster)
update: Just watched first ep of Star Driver, WTF did I just watch?
According to your post, Star Driver.
Need to catch up on Madoka Magica.... after I finish this cover letter and resume.

Today is Dragons/Aliens/Zombies Tuesday.

But on topic: that was really good for something fanmade. I'm not sure how they got all those high-profile seiyuu tho.
And in other news, I just started Yumekui Merry and am also enjoying it.
Yep, internships ahoy. I hope.....
I thought so, though I'm not really knowledgeable on the subject. An excellent question, guess they had just the right the connections.
Hopefully you'll find work in in Newe Englande, so Kari and I can haunt you. Mwahahaaa~ :3
Watched episodes 5-7 of Madoka Magica. Episode 6 is the first time I've had a moment of OH GOD NO horror watching this show. ◕‿‿◕
So wait, you DIDN'T get that reaction when Mami was FUCKING DEVOURED by that witch in what, ep 3/4? Errrp. _>_
No.
No I didn't.
Admittedly, that was more of a "Wait, isn't it kind of early to kill off a lead character?!" reaction. -__-
Ah, ah. True dat.
I was more like, "Oh, COME ON." So I guess. ~ -w- ~
Higurashi is getting more fucked up by the minute.

I'm not sure I understand this part here. >.>
Madoka Magica 6, 7, and 8
Madoka Magica episode 8: even though I was spoiled for a major PLOTTWIST~ revealed within, it was still horrifying to watch. D:
That's the beauty of this series. -‿‿-
Greatest anime OP troll, aka Madoka Magica
Badassery, aka Mazinkaiser SLK
Token mecha animu that knows it's a token mecha animu and doesn't take itself too seriously, aka Super Robot Wars OG: The Inspector
Scifi Action Boobies, aka Freezing
Stupidly formulaic harem animu but I'm still watching it for now because it reminds me of the awesome that is Triggerheart Excelica, aka Infinite Stratos
Fresh approach to mecha and something produced by XEBEC which surprisingly is not a steaming pile of dung, aka Break Blade
Retro-mecha awesome with a newschool budget, aka Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn
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)
I considered giving Infinite Stratos a look, then I heard it's a formulaic harem animu. >__>
Hooray for Stand Alone Complex! Black Lagoon, I've wanted to give that a watch for awhile now.
Stand Alone Complex and Black Lagoon are both good stuff.
FINALLY someone else mentioned the epic OP troll of Madoka.
I saw the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha movie not too long ago... Hey, did they ever make a widescreen version of the TV series(pl)?
Madoka reminded me of that for some reason... :p

Ah, endings, so often the undoing of a good series. ;__;
...I mean, it was a good series right?
yep, the series was one of the best I've ever seen.
The ending was just... unsatisfying :/. Though nothing can compare to the seriously fucked up ending of School Days.
Well the manga is/was ongoing, so those kinds of anime endings tend to be unsatisfying.
I started watching Madoka last night...
Wow.
Ehh, yeah. Got up to episode 10... I love it!
The OP reminds me of Paranoia Agent's for some reason...

Maybe I can draw Madoka
Since I'm learning to draw, you see... ^^
Awesome! If/when you draw Madoka, plz share it with us.
We would like that very much. /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
QuoteMan, there's a second season of it too! And some OVA's! I forgot all about that
Already seen the second season too... still it wasn't satisfying T_T
Just started watching Michiko to Hatchin. Definitely unique and well done.
@Bellz For sures! I've drawn a few anime girls already, but I'm too OCD and perfectionist to ever be happy with them :p
Maybe I scans them and pastes soon... Will do Madoka next!
Watched a bit of the first episode of Wandering Son...
its a little odd....I'm a bit confused right now of wtf is going on....
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
I'm trying to find some new anime to watch lately, but the popular ones don't seem that interesting...
(Beelzebub, etc)
Can't wait for this!:
http://myanimelist.net/anime/10218/Berserk_Movie
By the way,
Was there ever a widescreen (even DVD quality) version of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha (the first season)? I still want to see that :p
Quotebut the popular ones don't seem that interesting...
Fortunately for you, nothing seems to be very interesting or popular right now seeing as NOTHING IS FUCKING AIRING STUPID BLOODY EARTHQUAKE
star driver was aired along with Merry I think...
FUCK YES BEST SUNDAY EVER

heh... I know what you mean about perfectionism. It prevents me from finishing much of anything in the way of art. OTL In other news, I'm trying to catch up on a bunch of other anime I put on the backburner. Finished P&S, moving to MM!... and we'll see where we go from there.
Mannn, I need my ◕‿‿◕ fix soon...
I ams unexcited about delays, must find new things to watch for now~!

And I don't usually watch AMVs.
So sad....:(
At the moment, I've been revisiting Card Captor Sakura. I haven't seen it in ages (Not since the mediocre Nelvana dub), and I've been wondering how the series ends.
Also, I've been watching Steam Detectives on the side. It's pretty good, although I personally prefer Detective Conan
NO DAD, YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!

And I am totally ok with this ending. ;_w_;

Bwahahaha... yeah. >__>
I may have skipped a couple of episodes in the middle there. Maybe. I honestly forget, it all runs together in my mind.
Aaaaand... I'm through Bakemonogatari!
Really, really, really nice show... although it was sometimes kinda slow, but the stunning visuals, unique characters and awesome ending made up for that. (And the visuals are even more stunning if you watch it in 1920x1080)
^ Still need to watch that. Right now I'm trying to go through my backlog, and Bakemono is in there somewhere. heh
Loved the first episode of Steins;Gate
Chaos;Head was awesome, and it feels like the production quality of Steins;Gate is way higher
and the plot is great
Also on episode 20 of Kimi ni Todoke
It's really slow paced
Not sure if it's my style or not...
Ehh, I liked Kaichou wa Maid-sama more, but I get the feeling that Kimi ni Todoke will have more closure :p
I double-post due to relevance:

According to ggkthx.org:
Madoka 11 and 12 air April 22nd @ 2:40 am Japan time
HA-ACKING TO ZA GATE~
Loev dat op. -w-
I'm watching Naruto, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, Natsume Yujincho, DBZ Kai, Panty & Stocking w/Garterbelt, and Magical Girl Madoka Magica.
I got board and went into my netflix on xbox to find a ton of anime released for instant watching.
Though the American subbing makes me sick to my stomach, I just started to watch Sekirei which is alright for now...
christ they even have strike witches subbed in here...funimation needs better voice acting, my ears are bleeding!
They have a girl voicing a guy!?!? wtf is going on?
oh wow just noticed this is uncensored and rated TV-MA...
Sekirei's been out on Hulu for a while now.

Bah, I'm not the biggest fan of Hulu as its the last video streaming site I would ever go to...
I like hulu but I haven't watched anything on it in awhile... : /
The only thing I ever watched on Hulu was some MST3K. I prefer Netflix when possible; no ads and it seems to load faster
Netflix rocks. Wait, they have MST3K on Hulu?
I'll pass on Netflix, I think it sucks that they dropped the DVD rental service. (Srsly. DO NOT LIKE streaming video on my computer, I'll tolerate it but would much rather watch a TV... probably the reason any anime series I download, I go through at a snail's pace.) ><
Quote from: stewartsage on April 17, 2011, 04:10:57 PM

Yeah, but they only have about 5 random episodes
Netflix still rents DVDs......
Huh, really? The last I heard they were going streaming-only.... maybe they still haven't switched over? : /
>Episode 2 of Maria+Holic S2
>Shaft is up to their general craziness with the OP and all dat as usual

SHAFT, YOU JUST KILLED MY LIFE ;W;
Maria+Holic S2: I will watch when I catch up on the manga.
NO
YOU WILL WATCH IT NOW
SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFT
Maybe after I watch Maria+Holic s1... if I watch it..... .________.
I wanna check out Bokurano. : |
An observation: These days, HorribleSubs are actually quite decent.
Thus, STEINS;GATE EP3 GET~
Steins;Gate is sufficiently awesome
It'll fill the void after Madoka is finished
Also starting on Kimi ni Todoke season II...
Not proud of that thoughAlso...
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.Illegal Mexicans.Anyway, wrt:
Quote from: humans
... Netflix ...
I wonder how they're reacting to AT&T announcing bandwidth limitations for current and future DSL customers... Maybe DVD rentals will really come back :p
I also usually don't watch dubbed, much prefer well done fansubs.
And you got it right, the voice actors are decent sometimes... most of the time they suck big time I think. Also it's really easy to get fansubs if you know the proper sites ^^
I also prefer having the series on my disk, rather than streaming... you can't stream something in full 1920x1080 :D
QuoteEnglish dubbed
That's not anime anymore. That's just strangely drawn cartoons.
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.
SO GUISE, I HERD IT WAS MADOKA AIRING TIEM...
SWEET SASSY MOLASSY WE'LL FINALLY GET SOME CLOSURE. MAYBE.

SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFTNow I'm going for something less trippy...
>starts watching Steins;GateDid I say
less trippy? My, my, I must've slipped on the keyboard or something. I meant, of course,
JUST ANOTHER DAY IN TRIPPY-VERSE trippy.
I still have to watch it. ;__;'
Steins;Gate - isn't that the sequel to/second season of another series?
I just finished Madoka Magica...
SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFT
Steins;Gate is sorta a sequel to Chaos;Head. Mostly in the fact that they're both equally trippy, though (and @Akihabara), no storyline similarities seem present.
So, back to CRAZY AS FUCK THURS/FRIDAY and it's raining episodes all over! First off is Denpa Otoko...and while not quite as broken as Madoka, we still have to acknowledge the fact that it clearly deserves a rating of 5 out of 5 SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFT and a size xs transparent bucket filled with ostriches (hell knows how the hell they're gonna fit even one ostrich in there, much less in plural, but, well, fuck hell).
WHERE THE FUCK DID I PUT MY MARSHMALLOWS
Madoka 11-12
At first I was

Then I was

And in the end all I can say is
Steins;Gate. Not only does it have labcoats - it even has plot-centric retro (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g239/NejinOniwa/IBN.jpg)computers (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g239/NejinOniwa/IBN2.jpg)!
i just finished lucky star a week back >3>
I have no words for Madoka 11-12; only high-pitch 'squeeeees!' and "ablskflgjhnkl's' and those abashed "I SWEAR I'M NOT GETTING CHOKED UP WATCHING THIS >/////>" glances.
Also: I MUST WATCH STEINS;GATE NOW.
I was able to make it through three or four episodes of Lucky Star.... yeah. <__<;;
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was the most surefire way ever to get Broya to watch an animu. >:3

Trying out Lotte no Omocha. Reading the mango whilst waiting for torrents.
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....

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.

Watching SUM RETRO: Irresponsible Captain Tylor.
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!!

Oh yeah, go t/l that name, would you. I'm tired and my humor is completely broken.
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. :\
I know I'm behind the times here, but I finally got started on watching Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt! Now, I'm only up to episode 5, but it is incredible how each episode goes beyond the impossible on how ridiculous, inappropriate and over-the-top it can get, and it is AWESOME for it!
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

Kyubey is pleased to hear this!

I don't think the epicness of Madoka Magica can actually be conveyed with words... It's one of those things that has to be experienced to be understood. *__*
I love the visual styles in Madoka Magica- I've never seen anything like it before! :D
i hate that thing.
kill it with fire.
it creeps me out ;^;
@aurora: yay! ^^ i've watched the whole first season, so i won't spoil anything, but if you want any of the episodes or the soundtrack (with bonus songs) i can provide. -w-
i'll wait for you to get to episode 7, it's so cute ;v;
I'm interested in PSG...although I'm intent on finishing CCS before I start another series
not willing to visit 2 series at once?
eh, well, i'm willing to admit that when i was watching hand maid may and the tatami galaxy at once, hand maid may kinda stole my attention.... >>;
but yeah, PSG is more than just Powerpuff Girls goes to the Strip Club, though it doesn't appear as such. xD
I usually try to focus on one anime series at a time; especially after the summer where I juggled both Elfin Lied and Lucky Star
it helps if the series are short. HHM was only 14 episodes, counting the bonus one, after all....

I never got around to watching Steins;Gate, but want to... kinda given up on Hanasaku Iroha, but I might give it another chance after it concludes and there's some consensus for or against it... and I'm watching Nichijou still. I really want to check out Aoi Hana atm. owo

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.

Astute observers will be able to figure out my favourite characters simply by looking at this. 'w'

I haven't seen Disappearance, but I watched season 2 earlier this year; mixed in with season 1, so I could experience it in exact chronological order. It was quite a ride...
Hmm. I think I have some Haruhi novels that I've yet to read... I should get started on that

Haruhi is Haruhi. No exceptions. :3

Kyon is disappoint in you.
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.

But it's pretty cool so far. Episode 3 incoming right at my face
I lied about mahou shoujo being involved, btw :\
Legend of Galactic heroes
Thriller Restaurant
Hayate no Gotoku
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

so far i'm liking it
they say it's like the king of space operas D:
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)
LoL Heroes...
It's amazing so far. It's like Tears to Tiara mixed with Death Note and perhaps even a few Madoka★ elements?
24 episodes... I'm on the 8th, already wish it had a few more seasons :p
Having Seto no Hanayome for now, accidentally picked up the series because I was bored.. so I guess I'll be finishing it.
Trying to finish GITS:SAC if the time allows it. Then maybe Ergo Proxy or Zetsubou.

I need to get the 3rd Zetsubo series.. haven't started it yet.
Amagami SS. An anime that plays out like a dating sim. It's an... interesting concept.
It's also the Oldest One In The Book, Red-kun.

Ergo Proxy is mindblowing.... I really wanna watch Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei too.

Amagami SS.
While i thoroughly dislike dating sims and animu that play out like them and have never seen Amagami, I do like one of the characters from that series, Tanamachi.

It's DAT HAIR.
That's not hair, THAT'S FLUFF!
She's also voiced by the Same seiyu as Misaka.
So...electro-fluff?
Biribiri
Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokubgrejgre9gjerogjeriogjer is over

What to watch now? BTW, Commie's translations of Steins;Gate are frustrating! They translated tsundere to "hot and cold", wtf?! :(

THIS
THIS FOREVER
NOSTALGIA JUST TOOK A LEVEL IN BADASSSISU!!
Mayo Chiki: MESSED UP RELATIONSHIP CAKE - TAKEN AS FUCK. Can you say Double Yuri+Reverse Traps+4Way+Possible Wincest at some point? I DON'T KNOW IF MY BODY IS READY FOR THIS.
I keep getting a bad feeling..... that Mayo Chiki won't actually be "yuri" but "girl on girl fanservice aimed at eager young gentlemen". As so many animu with supposed lesbian themes are. .____.;;;;;
But, I suppose it's worth checking out... -w-;;;
Well, there's always the danger of that, I know. BUT A SHOW BEGINNING WITH A REVERSE TRAP MC CAN'T POSSIBLY GO WRONG! OwO
Mayo Chiki is great, Usagi Drop is great, Dantalian started off with class, Kamisama Memo is getting really good, Blood-C is a good gorefest and Baka 2nd is ok
Most enjoyable shows for me are getting to be Mayo and Dantalian (Classy WWI RAF pilot with lucky revolver? Hell yea!)
I am currently watching
iDOLM@STER
and
Steins;Gate
because
it is the choice
of
Stein's
Gate.

Starship Operator, on DVD, I purchased it. Yeah.
A couple days ago I watched the first episode of Roberta's Blood Trail with Stew; now I must watch the other three episodes which I procured a couple weeks back but never got around to watching.

And I was there when you did! Animu sale at FYE! ^w^
At the same store, I bought two volumes of Jubei-chan 2: The Counter Attack of Siberia Yagyu.
That store actually had a lot of good anime on sale. There were several volumes of Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze and Vandread too. *__*
Too much discount anime, not enough money (until I go back and get everything else I wanted after my next paycheck).
Also: Yes, you must not finish it! There's a fifth episode out now too!

Nice~
Yes, I shall finish it + download the last episode! : D
Finished Amagami SS. Was good, may buy it if I can find a boxset.
Amagami SS looks like a series i'd hate....... yet I still love Tanamachi....

Her hair, it's mesmerizing. *___*
Also voiced by the same seiyuu as Misaka of To Aru. But, Morishima-senpai is still my favourite:
found chobits on demand. decided to relive some of my younger days. watched 1-5, waiting for more.
Watching ef - a tale of melodies
I've had it sitting around for a long time, but forgot about it...
I usually forget about things when I drink

It looks cool so far, dunno why I waited so long to check it out!

Nice, I've wanted to give Chobits a watch for awhile...
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 watched ef - a tale of melodies
and now I feel sad. :(
Baccano!
I watched EVE no Jikan
凄い!
It was pretty awesome, I wish it was longer! I watched the OVA version... I guess I'll grab the movie since it has extra scenes :p
Just bought my brother most of Evangelion + End of Evangelion. Also got Bells the last three episodes of Serial Experiments Lain.

@stew, kraus: my friends reccomended baccano, but i never got into it. it's something i'll likely get into over the winter. :\
@bella: you've never seen chobits.
WATCH IT NAO~~~
been watching chobits and samurai champloo on demand, planning on starting this one called Chrome Regios, too. :3
Quote from: Chocofreak13 on August 14, 2011, 01:34:42 PM
... planning on starting this one called Chrome Regios, too. :3
Let me know if it's any good! I never got around to watching it, but I remember people on MAL comparing it to Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu/LoLHeroes/whatever :p
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! :(
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 >_>
@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.
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
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?)
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
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; )
There have been a few animated adaptations of live action series before. Star Trek: The Animated Series, to name one, even if it's not an anime
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
Um...Speed Racer is an anime series. A very early one (Pre-Voltron, post-Astro Boy), but an anime series nonetheless
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
CARNIVAL PHANTASM
Dear Type Moon Characters, you are looking awfully well-animated today
type moon? s'at a good series?
Starship Operators!
If I could win a war with pride, I'd be a lot prouder man.
I have that on DVD. One of the better ones I've seen.
Just finished watching the 2009 version of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.
watched some more chobits today. i believe i'm up to episode 13 or 14. :3
Quote from: Chocofreak13 on August 22, 2011, 05:50:09 PM

Type Moon makes the Fate series, as well as Tsukihime, Kara no Kyoukai, etc, etc!
I can't wait for Fate/zero! Must haev! Getting excited.
Oh, and Carnival Phantasm is like a Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu? thing with all the Type Moon characters from all the anime/manga/visual novels/games/etc... It's hilarious :p
As do I; I bought it when Bells and I were anime shopping in Winchester.
all caught up on the series i'm watching. :3
Kanamemo =3
I love the ed sequence.. also with those moe moe tsundere situation hauu~
Wait, there's a Kanamemo anime series? Since when!?
there's 13 episodes of it.
also Carnival Phantasm.

Ah, memories.... ;w;
come to think of it, i torrented the entire series of my bride is a mermaid and the softenni ova, and i haven't watched either. :\
same goes for the rest of my cybord 009 dvd. :\
I need to grab the Kanamemo anime, since the translation of the manga may not be continued since Kawaii Scans has apparently been shut down.
While looking around at the library, I saw they had the complete first season of Black Butler; which I checked out. I plan on watching some of it later this weekend...
Watched Bleach movie 4 for some reason
was meh
@choco: seto no hanayome is awesome!! I'll give 5/5 and I wanna be the sage XD
@nejin: it was? coz I was just about to get it now..
oh btw, am watching getsumen to heiki minna.. =P
i think the only reason i haven't watched the anime i torrented is cause speedy's kinda useless right now without her internet. :\ i need to find that reciever quick.....
@stew: i hate it that alot of manga sites have been shut down. i realize it's a copyright issue, but at the same time, for manga that hasn't been translated otherwise or is long out of print, what copyright is there? it's not like they're profiting from it......
@pentium: if you spoil anything i'll never forgive you. ><;
watched "The Girl Who Lept Through Time" in Glorious 5.1 THX Stereo! In Japanese of coarse (Thank god I can switch the speech to Japanese) but the subtitles are ugly and get in the way so I just watched without (Thank god I can construct a sentence in Japanese).
Great movie, recommend to all along side 5cm/s ("Five Centimeters Per Second")
Now I'm off to bed because I have school tomorrow. Wish me luck!
I finished Hunter x Hunter last night, now my life feels empty. ._.
Rewatching Ore no Imouto again. Makes me want an otaku little sister...
@kraus: i'll have to torrent that. always wondered what it was about, along with video girl ai (though i read the first manga of that at AB this year).
@pitkin: you'll find something else to fill the void. might i reccomend regios? :3
@red: i remember seeing an "interesting" item related to that anime on jlist..... :\
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
Quote from: Chocofreak13 on August 29, 2011, 12:21:35 PM@red: i remember seeing an "interesting" item related to that anime on jlist..... :\
"My Little Sister Can't Be This Tight!"?
yeah, but i figured that was better left for the hentai section. ><;
Well, it turns out that the Black Butler box set I checked out was Season 1 Part 2; so unfortunately I can't start on it yet. Dammit; I was looking forward to watching it when I got off...
1. using that for context thread.
2. good! now you can't spoil anything. :3
and just torrent the first half? :\
Started watching Ga-Rei-Zero...
Not bad so far :p I dig the high production quality (until it goes downhill, which it surely must)
Preparing to start watching Ookami-san.
new episodes of the animes i'm watching don't come around till i start school, so nothing besides My Bride is a Mermaid. :\
Evangelion Rebuild 1.01 and 2.22.
WOOOOOOO~
i always found evangelion's opening to be rather pretentious. but the rei pinup i have is pretty nice. -w-
hoping to crash my old high school's anime club again, provided i can get in contact with the proper people. :\
Steins;Gate 22
science is loev -w-
and PLOT
Steins;Gate, the entire series
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
DAT 700MB PER EPISODE
DAT HIDEF
DAT MKV
DAT PONY
First four episodes of Ookami-san.
well, they finally leak it out..
BUSOU SHINKI: MOON ANGEL
aww yeah!! not I can see Ach in motion XD
Usagi Drop, Ep 10
25 MINUTES OF SHEER D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
ugh i need to catch up on that. ><;
watched 2 more episodes of chobits this morning. :3
Almost finished with season 2 of CCS. Shit's getting real, yo
very nice.
i'm willing to bet that the other series i was watching have updated too, so tomorrow there will be more champloo and regios. :3

WHAT THE FUC- YOU ARE THE BEST FIRST EPISODE EVER!!!
Rewatching K-On! Mio is so moe...
The penguins. It is delicious as fuck.
Durarara!!, its been a long time coming.
I saw a random episode of Durarara!! on Adult Swim a couple of nights ago...
torrented anime for club, but we didn't end up watching it. however, i watched one of the episodes i got. :3
lately: chobits
Sailor Moon (original japanese)
D Grey Man (in club)
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.
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.
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...
Me and my brother were born on the same day as your sister died and you were born
WE KILLED YOUR SISTER WHEN WE WERE BORN
NATURAL BORN FUCKING KILLERS, TODDLER ASSASSINS
WTF???
regios kicks ass, pure and simple. plot twists, action, and occasional yuri moment. plus, CONFLICTED FEELINGS! WHOO~~~
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. :\
speaking of which, my chops were busted for torrenting earlier. >:\ (who the hell does the new anime club president think he is?)

BACK AND INVADING LIKE BOSSES
looks cute.
today is anime day!
samurai champloo
excel saga
sekirei
last exile
chobits
ikki tousen
Finally finished Roberta's Blood Trail. At last, a satisfactory answer to the age-old question of
HOW MUCH BADASS CAN YOU PACK INTO A FIVE-EPISODE OAV?!!!!!!!!!!
(And the question of "How many terrifying slasher smiles can you pack into five episodes?")
I think I'm going to have to watch some Evangelion to de-traumatize myself.
been following fate/zero
fangasms every weekend. It's too much that my body can't take it...
i actually got sick D8
Just finished watching Toradora! It has been officially added to my "most heartwarming animes ever" list and my "most heartbreaking animes ever" list. I was almost moved to tears several times.
This season I'll be following mirai nikki, fate/zero, still on belzeebub, got a copy of phantom and I need to finish girl's high.
Just finished GITS:SAC S1... now on to S2! :D

OH GOD I LOVE THAT ANIMU SO MUCH I CAN BARELY EXPRESS IT. ;W;
funny thing is, that's not even the most epic thing i got today. but yeah, along with flcl i figured it was about time.
Ah, Haruhi. I watched the entire series thus far (Seasons 1 and 2) in exact chronological order this past January, and aside from Endless Eight, I loved every minute of it*
*Although, I did start to riff on Endless Eight in an MST3K style toward the end; making it more bearable
We've entered an endless recursion of time.
Currently watching: Either Baccano or more Durarara, whichever strikes my fancy first.
just found out GTO has 42 episodes and 25 manga volumes, as well as a prequel and a sequel.
Hi guys, I'm svx

also: FUCK YEAH MY TORRENT FINALLY FINISHED AFTER ONLY TWO AND A HALF FUCKING WEEKS FUCK YEAH
Two and a half weeks? Were you torrenting a huge series, or did it just not have a lot of seeders? o__o;;;
Re-watching Ultra Maniac (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2287)
this brings back nostalgic time when I was banned from tv.. convert stuff and put it in my memory card and play using my camcorder.
@bella: both. on average the amount of seeders was about 2-4 (at one point it had 7-14, but that was only one occurance) and it was Urusei Yatsura, which has 6 seasons. :3
this morning i watched Taisho Yakyuu Musume <D

Ouch.
I watched episode 1 of Dantalian a few days ago... gonna continue watching I think...
it all worked out.
monday we begin one of the series i torrented, though i'm unsure which, since the president has taken it upon himself to kick the stuff i gathered out in favour of the evangelion movie You Are Not Alone. ><;;
i've never even seen evangelion. if he's going to do stuff like this, why did i torrent all this in the first place?
Dantalian is godly luck
You must finish it.

I think you'll like it, it's a really amazing anime.
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.
High School of the Dead is one of those things I can just never bring myself to buy. Better things to spend on, like a Fritz and GA Vol. 4 whenever it comes out.
Highschool of the Dead = The Walking Dead, but set in Japan, with high school kids, fanservice and this guy:

DAT SMILE.
@bella: WHAT CHANNEL. i am slightly deprived of animu here. :\
I cant watch anime on TV, I never catch it when it starts, and if you miss a day you miss important story

@bella: WHAT CHANNEL. i am slightly deprived of animu here. :\
It's on Time Warner Cable's On Demand service, under Entertainment/Anime Network to be exact. Since you have Comcast (or is it Verizon? I'm not sure) I'm not sure you'll get the same selection as I do.
I haven't actually ever watched Hidamari Sketch. I mean, I should be morally obliged too due to THAT SHAFT, but idunno...
Is it good?
Digging out old series from some old CDs in a box. Watched Gunslinger Girl this xmas. Going to watch Figure 17 next. I think it's been 8 years since last time I watched that one.
Probably going to get the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya tomorrow. Yay.
I plan on ordering that soon, myself :3
@bella: i have comcast, so idk if i get anime network's on demand service, i know i don't get the channel. :\
watched some Taisho Yakyuu Musume earlier. ^^ downloading the episodes i'm missing, and i'm going to look for the OVA, too. ^^
i also need to download those Usagi Drop OVAs....
Watching "ancient" series again, now it's Jungle wa itsumo Hale nochi Guu.
I have this sudden urge to watch the first season of Digimon again. I just need to find it first...
@silentbob: i have that series!!! (well, the first disk.) i bought the special edition box with the afro wig when i was about 14. :3
the reason pentium wants to watch digimon again is because me and mel watched the second and third digimon movies. :3 the latter led to my latest post in context quote. :\
downloaded the rest of TYM. likely will watch some tomorrow. ^^
Watched Disappearance a couple of days ago (Naaaaagaaaatooooo!)
Still cruisin' through Dantalian when I get time. Just finished episode four and holy shit man.

I wanna watch Disappearance because NAAAAGAAATO.
Been a bit remiss in my Dantalian viewing though... only up to episode 3...
Dantalian is awesome. I told you all so, didn't i? ^^
how violent is that series again? if it's less so than NGE then i might consider torrenting it for later viewing for anime club. :3
*wants to watch Taosho Yakyuu Musume*
*SVU marathon is on*
hnnnnnnggggg..... ><;

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.
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
I'm probably going to take back Disappearance and Castle of Cagliostro to use as a measuring stick for the college's new anime club.
ah, you're a part of your college's anime club? :3 (curious, does your club have a bias or are they open to anything?)
considering watching some TYM tonight, if i can stop procrastinating. >>;
No, I'm not, since most of the people who are members annoy me. I want to see what happens when they're exposed to some of the good stuff.
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. >.<
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 :)
sounds like it. :3
All I know about Mirai Nikki is this:

Which is probably all I need to know about it (and know that I need to watch it sometime).
i was about to say bells, that sounds like your kind of anime. :3
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. ^^;
@Kari: That sounds like a pretty cool show ^_^
Anyway, I'm probably going to start watching the first season of Digimon soon...in the original Japanese, with subtitles
@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.
I have that series, I just need to get around to actually watching it.

people were interested all along ;v;
What Kari said. Girls playing baseball in the Taisho era, sure, why not.
I might give it a try, once I'm to a stopping point with Digimon
yay ;v;
it's such an awesome series, it makes me sad to think that it would be overlooked. ;^;
It's really that good? : o
YES.
here, have some pictures to convince you:

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?
the more you know!
(did you know that most of the landmarks mentioned in the song are now non-existent?)
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.
That does look like an interesting series, maybe I'll give it a watch once I'm done with Dantalian...
@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.)
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.
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
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
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.
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 should upload my paper. :\
You should; I'd like to read it ^_^
In addition to Digimon, also slowly getting back to Cardcaptor Sakura; beginning to tackle the final season of the series. So far, it's off to an interesting start...and the video quality is horrid compared to Digimon
lol. new torrent needed? >w>

>Torrenting a 60+ episode series on a dialup modem
Ehhhhhhhhhh
@Bella: Uh...I haven't used dial-up since a few months after I went absent from the OSC; which would be roughly summer '09. I have DSL now, and although it's a pile of crap compared to the internet connections of literally every other person on this site, it is about 10x faster than what I had before
that's right, bells. not everyone who has crap internet has dial-up. :3
that said, the other night i previewed the 2nd episode of Urusei Yatsura (the 2nd half of the first episode, really) to make sure there was no nudity. lulz were had.
Hey, my dial-up wasn't crap up until the very end.
i loved dial up. it was slow and unreliable, but the sound was so nice. ^^
@Stew: I'm willing to bet you probably had AOL / MSN / other big name dial-up provider. My mom swore by these no-name fly-by-night local providers, which had the worst service possible >_<
Well, we're getting off topic, so that's the last I'll say on the matter
Nope, Juno.
Still watching Dantalian and that's about it.
So, current good stuff for the new term is Rinne no Lagrange and Nisemonogatari.
Not too much this year. ^^
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.) ^^;
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. ^^;
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>
next anime club isn't till the end of the month. ;v;
must.....resist.....watching more UY......
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
finished up the last of Taisho Yakyuu Musume. so cute!! ;v; and disappointing, but in a good way!
(so glad i have it. so worth a rewatch.)

SO GUYS, THIS HAPPENED (http://whynot.doesntexist.com/4256/black-rock-shooter-01/)
20 minutes later: WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH
...and more importantly NEXT EPISODE NAO
oooo. :0
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
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
I just ordered the BluRay of the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya :3
coooooool :0
i haven't even seen/read/wiki'd haruhi. ;v;
I've seen both seasons of the series; including sitting through the Endless Eight in it's entirety
You entered the endless recursion of time?
You entered the endless recursion of time?
You entered the endless recursion of time?
You entered the endless recursion of time?

You entered the endless recursion of time?
Why yes, I did. Not something I'd want to relive @_@
I skipped through much of that part. >_>;;;
I don't blame you. When I watch Haruhi again, I plan on skipping most of the E8, and have already warned my sister to do the same once she's ready for season 2
i get to prepare trailers of anime for club. we don't have it next week, though, so i'm going to finish other things first. ^^;
if anyone can point me in the direction (youtube) of good trailers for these anime, i'd really appriciate it:
Code Geass
D-Grey Man
Taisho Yakyuu Musume
Ben-To
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Dantalian no Shouka
For Dantalian, just show them the opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2FGCFKFz3A). It's soooo pretty!
kaay, hope it satisfies the action quota for people.

STEINS;OVA MOTHERFUCKER
There's a fight with a half dozen weird ass monsters in the first episode and the main character wields a Webley revolver.
damn, sounds cool.
It's fuckin' awesome.
Random series watch: Miniskirt Pirates.
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. : /
Miniskirt Pirates? I must watch it o_o
....my god, it's like, anime Rogue Trader. Probably the next to last thing you expect from a series called Miniskirt Pirates.
interesting.
also, just found out Taisho has been licensed. ergo, i can't show it to the club.

...why do they care if it's licensed or not? They don't allow pirated videos? : /
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.
Well that sucks. >:/
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
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
Kimi to Boku
Nichijou
Nisemonogatari ep8
THIS ANIMU IS SO FUCKING WEIRD
************* MIRAI NIKKI
************************ GUILTY CROWN
******************************* SHAKUGAN NO SHANA FINAL
*************************************** NISEMONOGATARI
SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM
just watched ep. 1 of Buttobi CPU/I Dream of Mimi:
SO 90'S
SO CAMPY
SO WTF PRONO
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
Chrome Shelled Regios
Samurai Champloo
Princess Jellyfish
EDIT EDIT: Ep. 2 of Buttobi CPU/I Dream of Mimi:
lol, nackintosh. lol, america.
nackintosh specs:
2 petabytes of HDD space
american superiority complex (teary proclamation of 'god bless america')
love for japanese drama?
"power erection saver" program.
lolz were had.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: in the middle of princess jellyfish :3
Likely going to watch episode 1 of Ben-To later tonight :3
DO EET. -w-
Not an anime, per se, but a visual novel: Analogue: A Hate Story (http://ahatestory.com).
I've done it again. I've fallen in love with the AI representation of a girl who killed everyone aboard her generation ship. I need help...
on the upside, i love that picture.
i'm up to episode 8 (?) of Kuragehime (Princess Jellyfish).
and i started watching Sekirei again.
and i torrented Black Blood Brothers earlier.
am sad to learn that series has no plushies. :[
I'm still watching Ben-To. Love it so far, especially Hana <3
i need to start previewing the anime myself for the club (in order to get the timing right for censoring). once i do we can chat about it. :3
Kay ^_^
