I like the animated movies by Hayao MiyazakiSame, I love Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke the best.
Other anime movies I enjoy include: The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and 5 Centimeters Per Second.
I personally love anime series, even though i haven't seen many.
I like:
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (1+2)
Death Note
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (most epic anime ever)
Full Metal Alchemist (just started watching it)
Post by: shinny on January 16, 2009, 10:42:56 am
Getbackers, X, Naruto Shipuuden (fillers from the original series are a bit eww), Black Cat, Death Note and just because no one's mentioned it yet, DBZ!
As for overall favourite out of those; probably Getbackers.

Its because its a rerun in chronological order 1-14.....
Season 2 will come out this year like July 2009 when K-ON ends!
Also the 28 episodes....
some sites says that ,there will be new 14 episodes of haruhi......
There are hints about the season 2....
the cm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVq85-rDlwk
The person who is sitting down might be Haruhi with long Hair and new uniform..
http://zepy.momotato.com/img/0904/jissya.jpg
http://zepy.momotato.com/img/0904/jissya2.jpg
I think its Aya Hirano dressing up like Haruhi in The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya!
The classroom reminds me of Toradora the last episode!
I think it's real. However, don't expect to get confirmation for a while, the marketing people must be very, very evil.
EDIT: an afterthought, if this really was just a rerun of the series, the marketing is incredible. there MUST be something more afterwards.
Furthermore: kat148 YOU ARE CONFUSING ME

Luisen123 said:
Well I can see a few references:
First pic = Summer Uniforms = Endless Eight?
Second pic = Asakura being "friendly" = Disappearance of HS?
Last Pic = White Pigeon = Sighs of HS?
My two cents.
Yeah The second pic is definitely from Disappearance
Asakura doesn't come back in any other story, does she?
My life is complete, Haruhi is returning....only to disappear :(

According to the TV Wakayama's broadcast schedule (http://www.tv-wakayama.co.jp/bangumihyou/table/bangumi/24.html), the new episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is going to air on May 24. The 8th episode of an ongoing rerun of the series is listed as "Sasa no Ha Rhapsody" ("Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody"), which is a title of a story that has not been adapted yet.
Update on May 18th, 10:00 am JST
The subtitle of the episode was erased from TV Wakayama's website. The 8th episode in question will be aired on SUN TV on May 21st, at 24:40 am JST.
According to GIGAZINE, TV Wakayama staff said they were not supposed to disclose the subtitle of Haruhi episode. They refused to tell GIGAZINE if the new episode is scheduled to be aired on the day.

Watched it the other day on youtube (thank god some lovely person translated it quickly :D), and I loved it! I've never read the manga, mainly because I prefer the anime (does that make me a bad person?), so I loved the reference to the first chronological episode of the first season :)
I am so glad it's back.

Dubs are fine. English Voice Actors=/=omgsucksz0rs. The Death Note dub in particular is fairly good...
Hell, you even get cases where the dub is superior to the original. Case in point->Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball Z...

But the rest... I'd stick with jap, they sound much better, or maybe I'm just used to subs now hah.
Post by: EvangelionZeta on June 19, 2009, 07:23:09 pm
Of course, there are some genuinely bad dubs. I hate any dub which keeps in honorifics (-chan, -kun etc.) with a passion.
Post by: Fyrefly on June 19, 2009, 10:39:51 pm
I am also a hater of the dubs.
It's the worst when characters magically change genders... perhaps gay cross-dressers are a bit too difficult for American audiences to grasp?
Post by: EvangelionZeta on June 19, 2009, 10:49:35 pm
a. In a kids' show and thus unsuitable for child audiences in the west.
b. A mistake. It happens in Japanese shows too, eg. Yorouichi in Bleach was voiced by a man in her cat form because at that point, her true gender had not been revealed in the manga...
Sorry, but it just annoys me when people just openly hate dubs.

You've clearly never been tortured with an English episode of Sailor Moon.
I prefer Death Note in Japanese, but it's still okay in English... only because the translators didn't feel the need to completely destroy the storyline.
I dunno... perhaps 'hate' is too strong a word.
I definitely prefer English subs to English dubs though.
From experience, the English versions of shows seem to cut out all the good sub-stories and the little things that make anime appealing for people beyond childhood.
Yugioh! that was an awesome show

How bout Makoto sounding like Ash from (dubbed) Pokemon (a prepubescent boy played by a woman pretending to be a boy)?
Or Chibiusa?
Or Luna, Artemis and Diana?
Instead of it being Luna + Artemis = Diana (eventually), it's more like:
Old-Lady cat gets it on with Random-Male-American cat, who together produce Fking-Annoying cat.
Sorry XD
I only saw the episode a couple of days ago... the memory is still quite raw and painful.

Ok. I think in this case, a distinction needs to be made between "English dubs" and "mainstream English dubs". The "English dubs" I'm thinking of are as you seem to regard the Death Note dub, more or less direct translations from the Japanese versions usually done by studios such as Ocean and ADV. "Mainstream English dubs", on the other hand, are the ones such as the Sailor Moon dub or the Yu-Gi-Oh dub which had to change aspects of the original series due to either censorship, cultural differences, or in some cases for commercial reasons.
Only highly popular Anime aimed towards adolescents/early teens (eg. Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh...) tend to suffer from "Mainstream English dub"-syndrome. As such, in regards to your comment about appealing for people beyond childhood, you have to understand that these are kids' shows already; in Japan, they're aimed towards children, and in bringing them over to the Western world the big companies like FUNI and 4Kids are also trying to market them towards children. If you really wanted maturity, you probably shouldn't be looking towards these Anime in the first place, basically.

Ironic, given that she's only called Serena in the dub... If you were really a purist, I imagine you would be calling her "Usagi"...
Why hasn't anyone mentioned the horrible Naruto dubs shown on channel 10.
"BELIEVE IT!"
*facepalm*
...I'll admit sometimes, the whole "mass-marketing" thing does reduce in some stupidity. I enjoy the line about Raditz being "faster than the speed of light" in the DBZ Saban (I think) dub, given that it means he's faster than any other character in the show...XD
Still, tolerance. Mass-market dubs simply have to appeal to 10 year olds, even if the original fans suffer in the process...

Off the top of my head, the Stellvia dub really pisses me off. It's one of those "-chan" dubs. Urgh.
I vaguely remember disliking the FMP dub as well.

Of course! Haven't seen the Ah! My Goddess dub, but given that Kikuko Inoue is my favourite voice actor I doubt I want to anyway. XDTrue, why do they even put the -chan -kun in the english dubs anyway?

On a completely unrelated note, is anyone watching Dragon Ball Kai? I'm wondering about the apparent lack of fansub groups. It angers me. :(

Yep! Well, ok, it really depends on who you go with, but if you've got a large group of friends, it's great fun! Just make sure you pre-register and get in the line REALLY REALLY early, because after a while (2 hours after the start?) the line wait becomes about 3 hours...
Also, if you want to buy stuff, bring at least 100 bucks.

School days is the weirdest anime ive ever seen, the end was quite twisted, and for a few nights, any time I watched a show where the main chacter had to choose between 2 girls I was like, shit u better tell one, otherwise knife in the bak and head cut off and sailing on a boat time, sik end (nothing says i love u like cutting off someones head so u can sail on a boat with them)
Another scene like that is Mao when he was with CC, classic (cant fit u in the plane but ill make some mods, pulls out a chainsaw, rofllll)

Destiny, in contrast, was actually quite enjoyable for me until about episode 35. I was one of the three people who actually liked Shinn, and making Kira the main character again made me rage. :(
And my list is from an accumulated 12 years of Anime watching, starting with Ninja Senshi Tobikage at around the age of 4-5. :) I've become slack lately though, watching one or two Anime per season at most. Last few seasons it was Geass/Macross Frontier/Gundam 00, now it's just Dragon Ball Kai. I also have a really bad habit of never watching "current" Anime (apart from the really popular mecha ones), in favour of revisiting classics. My current project alongside DBK is Gankutsuou, once I get all of it...

SEED's storyline for the first 30 or so episodes is almost an exact copy of that of the original series. It kind of picks up a bit in the second half, but I didn't like most of the characters so that kind of put me off...Yeah true, I liked Shinn but near the end he kinda sucked :P (even with such a powerful destiny gundam)

According to the director of the series, Shinn is actually on par with Athrun and Kira, if not better than Athrun. I (along with most people I've encountered) blame Shinn's suckiness towards the end as mainly a result of bad writing and bias against him from the scriptwriter (who liked Kira a lot...).
And hell yeah @ Fafner. Hisashi Hirai's character designs make me lol. It gets to the point where even characters within the same series look the same...(eg. Maya and Canon =_=).

+1
I am one who believes that they should just get rid of kira as the main character and put Lelouch in instead, Lelouch has skillz unlike kira.
Haha, ironically Lelouch is even worse than Kira in the one aspect where people like to criticise Kira's piloting (ie. use of computer/aimbot).

Agreed in regards to plot, but the reason I liked Gundam 00 was because of its highly political nature. It wasn't so much a straightforward narrative as a commentary on wars and governments across the world, with prettiful battles thrown in the middle. Plus having "oldtype" characters like Graham and Sergei kicking ass was also a plus.
Then it became all lulsy in season 2 with the whole Innovators thing, so by that point I stopped taking it seriously and just watched for pretty explosions. :)
Lelouch is a suky ass pilot, but he can just geass awesome pilots, wheres his weakness lol. Hes an awesome battle director tho
His weakness is that he's a sucky ass pilot. One on one against anybody, he's screwed. :)

I agree, gundam wing was definitely a good series, but for me those graphics are too old :(

My favourite Anime (Macross) was from the 1980s, so I'm pretty much desensitised to bad animation. :)

And truetears sort of has a point, if ur gonna watch a mecha series in which you mainly watch for the coolness of the mechas, you cant really stand watching paint figures making explosions, coz the story wont be able to make up for lacking animation.

LOL yeah and some fangs wudda been nice :PSetsuna gets too much guns pointed at him, hence he needed to innovate.^siff Setsuna randomly "innovates" because of "twin drive system" or some crap...apart from that...Lol, I still dont understand how he became a innovator or pure innovator or whatever, to this day, that was just weird. But besides all the innovator stuff it was quite enjoyable.

And truetears sort of has a point, if ur gonna watch a mecha series in which you mainly watch for the coolness of the mechas, you cant really stand watching paint figures making explosions, coz the story wont be able to make up for lacking animation.
Depends on your personal taste, plus the series in question. Macross, for instance, is far more plot-based than action based. The same can roughly be said for most older Gundam series. Not to mention a lot of older Anime actally have better action sequences...just the art itself isn't quite as clean.

Yeh, wat the hell is it with taht guy and having guns pointed and eventually fired at him. He did become pretty good pilot when he innvoated tho I gotta admit, seriously doubted him b4 that as a good pilot
Sergei almost owned him near the start in a freaking Tieren. 'nuff said.

Light (with death note powers) vs Lelouch (with geass)
Assuming Light doesn't know Lelouch's name and Lelouch doesn't know Light is after him and the story was first set in geass world then set in death note world
WHO WOULD WIN??? (you can pick which "world" you wanna have it set in)

Okay, for those who have seen death note and geassAssuming that were just subbing in L for lelouch in this situation, lelouch easily, he would find out light (id assume hes that smart since he >>>>mao and would geass him to suicide.

Assuming Light doesn't know Lelouch's name and the story was first set in geass world then set in death note world
WHO WOULD WIN??? (you can pick which "world" you wanna have it set in)
!!
Lets see, they start off, lelouch needs to find out just who light is, no name needed. Light needs lelouchs real name and his face. Well lelouch is well known so he is screwed if hes found out, so this puts them kinda even. Lelouch is better at commanding people, but I think if he was willing to go far enough and geass enough people he could win. He would have to geass everyone he thinks as suspects and get them to confess but yeh, he has the power of geass which is sumthing L didnt have and also he is as smart as L arguably. Lelouch wins for me

Lelouch has the advantage in that his power doesn't require any information to use. All he has to do is Geass everyone into killing themselves. :)True, okay what about if Light had shinigami eyes :P
GG Lelouch?
or not...?
Post by: Over9000 on June 21, 2009, 09:38:05 pm
^and Light isn't that smart...If he wasn't so cocky in showing off his death note skillz at the start off the series...He could've just killed all day...?Light is fukn smart, he owns L and near + mello

Seriously speaking, incest isn't actually popular in Japan. It's just Anime creators/fans tend to be into weird fetishes, so you get stuff like that, as well as more shoujo-ai or yaoi type relationships...

***SPOILERS***
Everyone "pops" because of the Human Instrumentality project, initiated by SEELE, which merges everyone on Earth into one giant conscience. The melting thing is basically because everyone's physical selves disappear, leaving only their "souls" or whatever the hell it is.
The MP-Evas stab themselves because it looks cool. Seriously. Canonically, it's to initiate Instrumentality or something.
Rei has a human body (constructed with the DNA of Shinji's mother), but she is in fact also the vessel for Lilith, the second Angel.

I thought Shana was an ok series until after the twins. Relatively good at being a visual novel adaptation until it started getting...er...repetitive.
Can't empathise with the music thing either, although I admit I've watched a few Anime just because I liked the theme song. >_>

I can imagine people unused to Sci-Fi might find the abundance of acronyms and technical terms in most Gundam series to be slightly confusing, but the narrative itself is indeed quite straightforward.

^ That's the guy who directed Haruhi S1 and the first four episodes of Lucky Star, among other things, btw.
Transcript:
(setting is an Otakon panel, Yamamoto is taking questions from the audience through a translator. The video is shaky and appears to have been taken with a cell-phone camera or other consumer-grade handheld camera, from an audience member several rows back)
(begin video)
Yamamoto: "To tell you the truth, I knew this was going to happen a year ago"
Audience member: "Why didn't you warn us?"
(general laughter)
Y: I'd be in trouble if I did
(general laughter)
AM: I guess I should ask you the other question, why has the show gone in this direction, that basically instead of moving forward with the story as outlined in the novels, they've turned a short stor-, a 30 page short story into six episodes.
Y:Um, uh, you have to promise you're not going to write about this on the net
AM: I won't
(general laughter)
Y: Not to make self-excuses or anything, the concept for this idea was floating around while I was still at Kyoto Animation. And I was against it. I said two episodes is the most you can do.
(scattered applause)
Y: But, as a person who left Kyoto Animation of his on volition, I can't help but feel somewhat responsible for the way Haruhi is now. So I'd like to say as a representitive of the SOS Brigade production committee, I apologize.
(general applause)
AM: Thank you sir, you've given- you've been terribly helpful on this matter.
(applause continues)
Y: But it's a secret!
(end video)
Confirms Endless Eight to be 6 episodes I guess.

There is also something about Haruhi being my first proper anime series which ensures it will always have a special place in my heart.
That being said, it just about breaks my heart watching the new OP each episode, wondering if we will ever see the other fantastic characters again (ie. worst case scenarios include Endless Eight NEVER ending, or the series becoming so hated that KyoAni dumps it).
Hopefully Endless Eight ends next week, and then we get something new like the Sigh.

It seemed in gundam 00 that any gun that was ever aimed at someone was aimed at setsuna exclusively.

SPOILERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Quote
My take is that Lelouch is alive.
The most obvious reason would be CC calling to Lelouch in the closing scene of the episode. As we can assume CC to be still sane, she must be talking to someone, and that someone would most probably be the driver of the cart: Lelouch would have to be alive.
Second, however, and this is where the others have thought things through, Lelouch is alive because he got his dad’s code. He beckoned the World of C to lend him its powers, and he took Charles’s code before Charles passed on. The reason why Lelouch still has his Geass is because he didn’t take the Code from the same person who gave him his Geass: he took his Geass from CC, and he took his Code from Charles. Thus, he now possesses both immortality and a Geass. This is also a reason that the title is Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
To further corroborate this, however, remember that when Nunnally held Lelouch’s hand he transferred his memories to her. CC also did it when Lelouch touched her accidentally back then, so it could be assumed that people with Codes are indeliberate telepaths. This leaves us with both immortals traversing the world for the rest of eternity.
It’s a great end, friends. :)
P.S. Ending line of CC translated by bibi: “Geass is the power of kings, it will isolate you… well, I guess thats a little wrong… eh, Lelouch”
P.P.S. Additional evidence, courtesy of `Nergal and 4chan:
1. Charles grabbed Lelouch with his right hand, which had the Geass sigil.
2. Lelouch needed the fully evolved Geass to transfer a code.
3. The code doesn’t appear to activate until someone dies. Hence, why C.C. was wounded when she first inherited her code. Same happened with Charles in the World of C.
4. When Lelouch touched Nunnally, Nunnally got a flash of his memories. This ONLY happens when a high potential Geass user touches someone with the fully evolved Geass.
5. The title of the series is “R2″, which is similar to how “C.C” is pronounced. So Lelouch would be “R.R.” which is Engrish (I presume) for L.L., Lelouch Lamprouge.
6. When C.C. is talking on the wagon, she says “the power of Geass brings loneliness…that’s not quite right is it, Lelouch?” and nods her head in the direction of the wagon driver.
P.P.P.S More evidence, courtesy of an intelligent anon from 4chan:
Orange knew of Lelouche’s and Suzaku’s plan and helped them out by ordering his men not to fire on Zero, he even smiled when Zerozaku jumped on his shoulder.
Now would Orange, a man who devoted himself entirely to Lelouche and threw away everything without a second thought be OK with a plan where the sole person he wants to protect in life is actually killed? The answer to that is NO, not even if Lelouche ordered him to accept the plan: he would not go along with it and would protect him with his life. There is only one way that Orange would be OK with a plan like that and thats if he knew about Lelouche’s immortality, which I assume he did as he worked with V.V. in the Geass research base. Orange was OK with this plan as he knew Lelouche would come to no harm and would be able to start a new peaceful life with the woman he loves in a world which he himself had made peaceful.
Even at the end, we see Orange on his orange plantation, completely content with the way things have panned out, he definitely could not be that happy had Lelouche actually died.
There it is, firm evidence of Lelouche’s immortality if the scene with C.C. and the cart driver wasn’t painfully obvious enough.
(I corrected a few spelling errors and run-ons, but preserved the original thought. It’s also quite convincing, if you ask me.)

Not sure right now. My friend said if you didn't pre-register, you'd have to get there early to avoid waiting. ;o

Pretty much. This year's probably going to be a bit better due to mailing pre-regs, but to be on the safe side (last year the line took 4 hours from what I heard...), you want to be there early.I refuse to wait in a line more than 30 mins after my bad experience in disneyland, I waited 3 hours for a ride........and it sucked.

Btw has anyone seen macross 7, I recently started and I notice it has excellent visuals and the characters are very intriguing.

A bit late, but sadly, the last scheduled episode of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2009 has ended. In my opinion, The Sights arc was fantastic, and implemented spectacularly well by KyoAni. I just really hope, Endless Eight hasn't damaged the longevity of the series, so that the Disappearance arc is never made.
Or maybe KyoAni's saving up money for some other big (*coughKey/Visual Artscough*) project. I heard making Disappearance would cost a lot though... (can't remember where I heard that from).

Go watch the next few episodes. It'll probably clear things up a bit.
Then again, it's SHAFT. What do you expect, given its past projects (e.g. Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, to quote an extreme example)? =p

Either:
Fate/Stay Night
When They Cry (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)
Tsubasa Chronicle
Pandora Hearts
FMA: Brotherhood
Post by: TrueTears on September 20, 2009, 03:19:36 pm
I wouldn't go with Higurashi personally.
I think you should choose between TC and Pandora I reckon... maybe toss a coin and decide :P
Post by: Over9000 on September 20, 2009, 05:50:02 pm
Help me decide on what new anime series to pursue (currently finishing up Valkyria)Fate stay night is a good watch, u will most likely enjoy, Pandora Hearts is really good and is almost finsihed (1 ep left) so probs those 2. FMA brotherhood isnt finished so its not really worth starting.
Either:
Fate/Stay Night
When They Cry (Higurashi no Naku Koro ni)
Tsubasa Chronicle
Pandora Hearts
FMA: Brotherhood
Post by: TrueTears on September 20, 2009, 05:54:39 pm
Thus I think you should watch Clannad.
Post by: Over9000 on September 20, 2009, 05:56:24 pm
And Tsubasa is also a must watch.Clannad is one of if not the best romance anime. Its realistic, all the characters are very intriguing and has arguably excellent visuals.
Thus I think you should watch Clannad.
Thus it is often called the composer of music.
Also, if you havent already watched it, try gundam 00. It's my favorite gundam show and I liken it to a cornetto.

Has no boring bits, its basically all action, very little plot, which isnt bad for me.

I'd say Higurashi. So many things you won't expect. But make sure you watch both seasons!

Fate/stay night I found to be decent, but not great. Tsubasa even less so (sorry TT =P).
Haven't watched Pandora Hearts nor FMA:Brotherhood (I'm not a fan of shonen anime, you see...).
I'd give Higurashi a try, though.

To sum up (so many spoilers in it):
He gets on a train and they waste 10 mins showing him on a train
He watches a rocket blast off for 5 mins
Reminisce about past
Go to work
And the epic end, he crosses train trax at the end ..o.0
And thus the point of the anime is to show people who didnt know, that when people are alive, they usually go to work and watch rockets fly off if they like rockets. It also shows that when there is bad weather, using the train system isnt as fast as usual which may be hard to grasp the absurdity of it.

I loved Haruhi as well. But I wouldn't say Endless Eight did them any favours, perhaps even having divided the fanbase completely into two extreme halves. Although I do agree on BLR/Sighs; they were pretty good =)
As for 5cm/s, I thought it was quite a remarkable film, given Shinkai's previous works (although I've only ever watched Voices of a Distant Star as well...)

It doesn't sound that bad. There's no way they could have the entire Death Note story in one film, and unlike the Japanese ones I don't think there's enough interest to demand two of them to complete a story. Whilst keeping to the essence of Death Note, it has its own interesting take on the story - in particular, it makes Light's character a lot more sympathetic - and to be honest I'm quite excited if it's going to be like this.They are portraying the character as somewhat the opposite of Light Yagami, they change the names to westernised names, they dont have ryuk or misa. I wonder why they even dare to call it deathnote if it's only link to the original is that it has the deathnote. They might as well rename the book like they did for everything else so it's no longer called deathnote, otherwise I can see the Deathnote name being tarnished by this film.

Guys, it's not going to be as bad as Dragonball Evolution; at heart, this is still Death Note, re-imagined. If you're judging it already just based on the changed premises and situations, you might as well say Apocalypse Now is a crap adaptation of Heart of Darkness because it takes it all to the Vietnam War.
Post by: Over9000 on October 10, 2009, 04:03:24 pm
Although the film hasn't come out yet, the script does seem to carry across Death Note's themes of the nature of justice, corruption through power, etc. The scenarios are also very similar, and really the changes and omissions aren't that significant. Ryuk would look corny on screen (look at the Death Note Live Action) and really serves no significance anyway. Misa would be even more outlandish to a Western audience unless they changed her into a Paris Hilton-esque character, which would get backlash from fans anyway.Your first paragraph is basically showing the flaws in making a live action, therefore, if they can't even incorporate the themes of deathnote because its a westernised live action, why do it? I could be wrong and this could be a blockbuster(definitely not likely), but im of the opinion that the only people intersted in this movie would have been people who know the deathnote series as it's unlikely that people who have never even heard of deathnote would flood to watch it. For the people who have seen Deathnote original, this can only be considered a downgrade (I havent seen it yet but Light Yagami = Luke Murray = Kind and willing to risk his life for others = fail).

Depends on how Haruhi is feeling, if she is feeling depressed (like when her and Kyon walk home together near the train), then most likely she would be easily defeated by C.C. However, if she didn't want to die...C.C would disappear.

Generally speaking, the only Gundam series which is almost universally regarded as "flawed" is SEED Destiny. 0083, ZZ Gundam, Gundam F91, V Gundam and Gundam SEED also have a few detractors too though (though not nearly enough for them to be controversial).You are one dedicated Gundam fan!

As in both. When it first aired, most people regarded it as fairly solid, until about episode 38 when the main character started changing randomly between Shinn and Kira. Then the last few episodes were pretty much universally accepted as mispaced and rushed, with the ending pissing off virtually everyone.
Also, pretty much everyone hated one of Kira, Shinn, or both.

I only got introduced to anime this year - before this year, I really didn't know it existed...except for Pokemon (good times).
I've mainly what movies, but I have watched some series - mainly Inuyasha and Fruit's Basket (<3).
Movies I've watch include My Neighbour Totoro (one of the best movies I have ever seen.... I need to buy it), Howl's Moving Castle and Kiki's Delivery Service (I always wonder that the reason why all the townpeople are waving and smiling at Kiki as she flies over are because they are all perverts/pedophiles looking up billowing her skirt - actually, what is it with anime and very very very very short skirts that girls wear, and no matter how short the skirts are, they never seem to flash anyone?)
And I remember seeing the movie of Death Note. I was in love with L for a couple weeks after that.

Haha same here. I remember watching the spin off twice in a day, only because L was so cute in that movie. It was worth it just to see him run and babysit the kids...the ending was quite sad though, it made me cry.

LOL @ the short skirt comment. Well one reason they were short skirts is whether you are watching a certain GENRE where there is a lot more than JUST shirt skirts :P.

However a more likely reason (I don't think you would watch this genre especially since your new to anime xD), is that anime provides films of innocence. It's a world where they have big staring eyes which as you stare at, really makes you feel their emotions. Where their actions and kind-heartedness almost doesn't exist in the non-virtual reality. Don't you also notice how Ash in Pokemon is so close to his pokemon...it's almost on the verge of eek lol. Nah. Or how the girls in many animes are always really really really close, yet it doesn't try to suggest anything sexual, it's just the "cute, innocent" scenario the writer tries to produce.
Sorry if you where just making a rhetorical statement not expecting an answer, but yeah :)
btw, its about time "anime" didn't have red underlines in mozilla firefox, and MS Word...it should be a word!

Also, wtf is xamd on about, spastic anime, how about tell us wtf a xamd even is.
Gundam Wing is even more confusing, up to ep 33 of 49 and I dont know which side is which and who's against who, nice. I also don't know which mobile suits are what, and where the fuk half the gundam pilots are most of the time. So far, even destiny is better than wing for me, not good.

What did you think of Clannad?
Not finished that yet either hehe (I watch tons of anime series simultaneously), however I recently *cough* acquired Clannad: After Story, so I'm all set...
So far Clannad has been good, very nice animation, interesting characters, short but cool fight scenes (lol) and lots of pop culture references which I love. Definitely give it a try.

Gundam X is my personal favourite Gundam series. The consensus seems to be that it's underrated, mostly because the Japanese audience of 1997 didn't give it much attention. It has probably the most likable protagonist in the Gundam mythos, as well as some interesting mecha designs (although a few seem fairly derivative).
Victory Gundam is only good if you love lots of senseless killing - it has lots of drama, and is probably the most depressing of any Gundam series, but Yoshiyuki Tomino absolutely despises it as it's basically a product of him going on a depressed rampage.

Well I saw it was underrated and yet I have already bought the DVD for after war x and victrory, mainly because im gonna watch all of the gundam series regardless of how good or not. However, I have seen that there has recently been a popularity rise for after war x with the dvd release of after war x, many people are finding a gundam series that is seemingly a lost gem in the franchise. What mainly made me decide to watch it is that I have the Gundam vs Gundam game and in it, Gundam X is so epic with its satellite cannon so I thought it wud be interesting to watch the series. Anyway, I have high hopes for the show, the fact that its incomplete never put me off, ive seen underrated series before that I wonder what the hell ppl were thinking when they rated it (wink inncoent venus).Has anyone seen Victory or After war x gundam series??

As for victory gundam, I dont mind the insane kill off's that tomino decided to do in the series, Its not something that really annoys me so im quite excited to watch victory as well.
Anyway, finished Wing, wow it started shit but got good, Epyon ftw (took me so f**ing long to finish).
Zechs is the most badass pilot in wing, by far xD
Post by: EvangelionZeta on October 28, 2009, 11:09:03 pm
Wish Epyon got more screentime, too.
Post by: Over9000 on October 28, 2009, 11:13:13 pm
Haha, I love Heero and Zechs, but really Trieze has got to be the most amazing of all. The man was taking down Virgo IIs as if they were nothing; seriously, compare the way he seems positively BORED fighting them with the way the Wing Boys struggle against the Virgos in the final episodes. Not to mention that the man is kicking ass in a Tallgeese variant - screw Gundams, Tallgeese ftw.Trieze has got STYLE, at first you think hes evil then u just cant help but feel that his not really an evil, more like hes just on the opposite side. He is as skilled in an MS as he is with a sword and thats saying sumthing, hes a better pilot than wu fei (tallgesse vs nataku upgrade) and he seemd to effortlessly duel with wu fei before allowing wu fei to kill him. I dont really know though, Heero and Zechs master the zero system, could trieze. Coz if trieze could master it, that would amplify his skills even further to a point where if u put him in epyon, you have a scarpyard of mobile dolls, lol.
Wish Epyon got more screentime, too.
Its intersting though how of all the highly acclaimed gundam pilots, Heero is the only one with skills that really shine. The other 4 are just ....there. Heero, trieze and zechs are by far the 3 most outstanding pilots in Wing but I would maybe still lean to Heero (he beat Zechs in close combat using a gundam that wasnt really suited to close combat, nice) but Trieze we will never know how good he could have been in epyon :(
Epyon was the only suit which grabbed my attention in wing, unlike seed and 00 in which most suits grabbed my attention. I thought epyon got fair screentime, from when it first appeared, seemed to appear the msot, unless you mean you wish it had appeared earlier, in which case I think it was more special it appeared later in the series.
But really Gundam xx>gundam x> all (at least in the game hehe)
Post by: Over9000 on October 28, 2009, 11:45:58 pm
First ep, no gundams or mechas, second ep a gundam with a mustache (the ∀ Gundam) and questionable MSs. But anyway the storyline seems interesting as hell.

Have you seen the Endless Waltz versions of the main Gundams? They're pretty cool. Design-wise though, you'll probably have to blame Wing's age; the designs were in line with the audiences of the time, just like how modern SEED Gundams would probably look really weird to a Gundam fan from the 1980s. :p
Turn-A is really really weird - don't expect it to be anything like a typical Gundam series, although it's highly regarded (Tomino's favourite Gundam series).
Post by: Over9000 on October 29, 2009, 05:24:12 pm
I know, I got self prepared for Turn A but to be honest, even though its a large departure from ur classic gundam series, the story seems bloody interesting and I quite like loren. Ahh havent seen endless waltz movie completely yet, just parts but I think the wing zero is less impressive compared to its series counterpart, same gundam but no neo-bird mode, it does look a bit fancier with the angel wings but I prefer the sharp unrounded styling of the series version.Haha, I love Heero and Zechs, but really Trieze has got to be the most amazing of all.

Clannad was great, although Nagisa's acting skills are odd.
Tomoyo Chapter was weird. Are people in Japan that competitive and cruel? Also, I found the fact that Okazaki ends up working at the recycling centre really depressing. (RUN TOMOYO TO SUEHARA aka Clannad's Lelouch <3)

Post by: Over9000 on October 31, 2009, 12:57:47 am
btw i've watched SEED (and a bit of 00 which looks alright but nothing beats Wing), but didn't really enjoy it other than when both of them cracked a thing that looked like a peanut and their eyes got glowy like supersayins and they beat up everyone lol oh yeah plus a girl that has PINK hair....right..... man look what staying up has done to me lol...can't sleep after remembering Part C of examIve seen wing, seed/destiny and 00 and I wud have to say 00 is the best of the 3 no doubt.
Storywise- seed is not very good, Wing's is mediocare first 30 eps and excellent last 20 or so eps. 00's storyline is intersting enuff that it is able to be a medium for all the action scnees in the anime so that it does not seem repetitive. Graphics wise 00>seed>wing.
Character wise, seed's cast is most lacking. Wing has trieze and Zechs as the only two characters who you can really like (well duo as well but hes a pretty dodgy pilot). Gundam 00 has a wide range of character types. Strong characters on the villains as well as neutral and ally side.
Gundam models of wing are arguably the most bland, even for its time they were nothing too special, the grunt suits looked far too similar to each other and they were not even remotely cool, maybe epyon as the only standout, while seed we all know had two of the most famous suits which we all love. 00 has perhaps the most interesting and diverse mobile suits of the 3 series.
So wing beats 00 in.............pretty much just the end of the series kik ass stroy but you cant discount the fact that for the first 30 episodes, you're sitting there just thinking wtf is going on, who is this new faction. So I think, wing can easily be beaten as a series, by 00 and I would put Seed maybe on equal terms with it (not story wise but overall). I highly doubt wing is anywhere near the best series of gundam and 'unbeatable'.
Btw: Seed may have a pinkhead, but Wing has relena. Relena is annoying anyway you look at her, Lacus on the other hand isn't so bad.

Holy Cow thanks for the review =) you really know your stuff. I prefer Heero's gundam with the awesome angel wing things, in think it was in the movie endless waltz, epiyon was hardcore as well. Haven't watch too much of 00 to see if its better than wing, but at least its HD and better quiality animation wise than Wing. Heh my only grumble with anime is with weird hair colours and stupid dubs, i didn't really like that girl's dub + hair colour =p . i guess after exams its back to being an otaku watching 00 legally of course *cough* *cough*Okay, never watch english dubs, ever. It will ruin ur experience almost always. Secondly, 00 is worth a watch, for a gundam series it isnt as hardcore storyline and slow character progression as your other series. I recommend 00 becuase to me it was the most enjoyable of all the gundam series ive seen. It is admirable that u enjoyed wing, that will set you up to be able to watch other series as opposed to people who watch seed and hang shit on anything older. 00 might seem reallly different at first, but you will find its actually a little similar to wing in terms of plot progression. Heero's gundam in endless waltz looked a bit to unorthodox for me, I actually prefer the rough edgy look of the gundam in the series, however epyon was my clear favourite, oh how I love epyon. Anyway, you havent seen a true gundam series without having seen a gundam series with 'newtype' like pilots. They truly go under the classification of epic pilots, however thats not to say Heero wasnt epic but he was a little less over the top in piloting as the newtype pilots would seem.

Lol truetears Clannad, i was interested in watching it after seeing an episode of it with subtitles...lets just say its really weird. I like Gundam Wing's dub although sometimes i think the actors sound drugged and half asleep. I've watched the new Neon Genesis, i for the life of me can't see any dif other than better quality animation.Whats weird? Clannad dubbed or just the show itself?

clannad subtitled in english while they speak jap. It was really weird as the two purple hair girls said something about Yuri sex with the main guy watching =0 wow i'm not sure if it was subtitled right but gee....Yuri sex? (the scene where kyou is called a bi maybe?)
English subs with Jap dubs is as normal as it gets? What is weird.

That scene was awkward cuz i wasn't expecting that =p. Have you watched School Days, that is some seriously messed up anime, fark, i couldn't watch the last episode. BTW do you watch gundam online or have you got DVDsSeen skool days (whats weird about a girl chopping off a guys head and sailing on a boat with his seevered head and also note the blak blood ;)). I download gundam from streaming sites almost always except I have bought After war x and Victory gundam on dvd coz their streaming quality is quite shit. Eventually I plan to buy all the series on dvd coz gundam looks best HD. Every other anime series I just dl.

Over9000, if I want to start gundam, where do I start?Well first I needa know are you a graphics whore or not, (basically how far bak would u be willing to go because the graphics pre 2000 can be pretty poor compared to now, do u really care about graphics?)
Gundam seed/destiny if you care about graphics
Gundam wing if you dont really mind sub-par grafix comapred to 2009 standards
Mobile suit gundam 0079 if graphics dont even matter to you (and for that matter, poor intro songs, pretty poor insert songs and OST)
The problem with watching the new series first up is that after watching them, its quite hard to find the resolve to watch anything older, so it's better to watch earlier ones first. However, if u mind graphics too much then you wouldnt wanna watch anything pre Seed (turn A isn't bad for graphics but not a good place to start).
Shouldnt start with gundam 00 coz you wont watch anything older after that, the graphics are just insane, even seed looks bad compared to it.
Universal century: (You cant start any of the series except MSG first coz theyre all interlinked in some way, some are direct sequels with same characters so you would have to watch MSG first)
MSG - 1979
Zeta - 1985
ZZ - 1986
Victory - 1993
Alternate centuries:
Mobile fighter G gundam - 1994 (dont start here, this show is way different to ur usual gundams)
Gundam wing - 1995 (Good start)
After war x - 1996
Turn A - 1999 (way different to usual gundam shows)
Seed/destiny - 2002 (Good start)
Gundam 00 - 2007 (Would probably stop you from wanting to watch anything earlier than it if you watched it first)
I think Wing is best place to start. Watching the original MSG might put you off as only hardcore Gundam fans would appreciate it (which is why im leaving it until a little later).

Goddamnit watch Wing first people. If you can't handle mid-1990s animation then you suck. :(I totally agree. Jamison, you will get used to the graphics, theyre not terrible. For me graphics are very important but it's not like watching wing was killing me, in fact I kinda got used to it. Just try it out, dl some eps and have a look.
I watched gundam 00 ---> seed/destiny -----> gundam 00 twice more ------> wing
The only reason why I watched wing is coz Im kinda a gundam whore, otherwise it's much harder my way which is similar to the way you might do it.

The only reason why I watched wing is coz Im kinda a gundam whore, otherwise it's much harder my way which is similar to the way you might do it.

I was planning to watch Ef - A tale of memories next because I love SHAFT, it is seriously that bad?
I thought it was a pretty great series. An engrossing visual feast (typical of SHAFT), and I liked Hiro/Miyako's arc too (plot-wise). Too bad melodies wasn't as good, though (Mizuki is fairly annoying IMHO, and I LOL'ed when they mentioned where (some of the characters) were located at the time... won't spoil you too much ;)).
Speaking of SHAFT, Bakemonogatari 13 is apparently out online (streamed - official website)...
Yes, I love SHAFT too ;D (either it or KyoAni though... :P)

Bakemonotagari is weird >_>Hmm, but the songs are good, and the charatcers look cool. Thats depressing I really feel like watching it despite what you say.
P.s van is a peacock.

Don't you hate it when girls in anime/manga get abused by their boyfriends and they just allow it and then blame themselves or even apoligize afterwards. It's so annoying. >.<I see way more abuse of guys in anime by girls, lol. The girls act like complete bitches and the guys are like watevs.

MASSIVE SPOILERS BELOW
So, um, what was that? Nagisa + Ushio got rezzed because they reloaded a saved game?
Why did the Illusionary World collapse? How did Tomoya get to go back in time? Does anyone know if he remembers his old life?
Overall, good series,
+ Beautiful animation
+ Great soundtrack
+ Great voices
+ Great running jokes
+ Fuko
+ Happy ending
- Happy ending
- Lots of useless dialogue
- Nagisa pissed me off after a while
- Main relationship was pathetic (Tomoya + Nagisa), sorry, I guess I like relationships to have more to them than just kindness *shrug*

9/10 for Clannad AS but 10/10 for haruhi. I wonder how Haruhi is better in any way, Lol?
@ smrandom azn: everything in clannad AS is a +
Post by: Noblesse on November 12, 2009, 06:38:33 pm
It felt like a sell out, like lots of Hollywood remakes of novels. You just wait for the American remake of Deathnote, $100,000,000 on Light surviving.
Haruhi is better (in my opinion, which is obviously how I rate them) because it has an interesting storyline and lots of comedy elements, similar to Clannad original season. It should be noted, that had Clannad ~AS~ ended WITHOUT the events of ep22, it probably would have gotten 10/10.
Also, Haruhi is not finished (even novel wise), depending on how (or if) it ends, I'll definitely change my mind.
Post by: Over9000 on November 12, 2009, 07:09:07 pm
Well I personally felt insulted with Clannad, it made you go through episode and episode of things getting crap then better and then crap again THEN it was like, hey, let's just dump all that and start again.Clannad ~AS~ had the best theme of any anime ive seen. The importance of relationships on stray individuals, a good backdrop with which to focus. Every episode developed characters, a show in which there are about ~10 characters who each have more development than most series main characters have throughout their entire respective anime is truly amazing.

The animation quality is the best of any anime that has ever been released. The soundtrack including op/ed are a perfect suit to the anime and really brings out emotions that are true to the anime. The insert songs fit the mood perfectly for each situation. The characters are the best in any anime ive ever seen (the amount of characters that play a key role, and all of them are excellent, well developed and none are annoying) is a fantastic achievement. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will be in awe. The feelings you get from watching ~AS~ are the most diverse of any anime ive seen so far, for a romance it covers so much. For ~AS~ not to be rated 10, I wudnt be able to rate any other anime a 10 simply because I feel that nothing comes close to ~AS~ in terms its brilliance in every sector in which it can be broken down to. It may be episodic at times but no episode can be considered filler. The ending may have been a classic dues ex machina style ending which detracts from the feelings conjured up in the previous 3-4 episodes but I think it simply comes down to a lack of understanding of the build up to the ending. Maybe if you read more articles on the significance of the ending u would feel differently. There are worse things than one questionable ep, no anime ive ever seen has all flawless eps but that doesnt mean it isnt worthy of a 10 unless your extremely harsh on an anime, but considering you could give code geass a 10 which had a far more rushed ending and the second season was no where near the level of the first season, then you dont seem to be a harsh in general.

I loved Code Geass because of the animation, epic storyline, awesome soundtrack and awesome open ending, perfect 10. (should be noted I don't mind filler episodes in the slightest)
I agree with most of your review of Clannad, music was great, animation great and a fantastic mix of genres.
My problem comes with character development. I was disappointed they dropped almost all characters in ~AS~, however I realised this was part of the storyline, as it was supposed to focus on Nagisa/Tomoya/Ushio. I thought Tomoya's character development was fantastic as he learnt how to be a father, especially when he grew to forgive and appreciate his own.
The ending screwed all that, hence why I would not call the series perfect.
Since finishing ~AS~ I have read quite a few articles, mainly to answer the remaining questions I have, but I stand by my choice. The ending was a sell out. Does not mean the rest of the series is ruined, I am just left disappointed (it also should be noted, I prefer dark or open endings)
In the end, 9/10 is great score...in fact, it's higher than the overall average of Clannad on My Anime List... by 0.01 xD
EDIT: apparently Air has a sad ending, I think I'll go with that next.

Now does anyone have any "happy" type animes....aka the opposite of sad :P I mean, ones which aren't really depressing, yo watch and they make you laugh, or smile, or have a good day :D hahah. Not in a mood to be made depressed atm :P

Alsom how UGLY is every piece of cartoon/anime America has done =.=* in that I mean ABC stuff? Like its all really ugly, and do you notice that the characters all do stupid things, say stupid stuff etc to be "funny". Like I dont know a SINGLE anime thats american thats been big....

Sorta off topic, but sorta related to America =S

IS SHINNY'S AVATAR, THE DANGO FAMILY <3
I Just noticed!!
btw, wow 50 pages in this thread
I'm not sure it is...they look quite a bit different, same concept though.
Just finished Ergo Proxy (english dub, ABC2 airing), after watching ep 23 I was confused, really confused. But after reading a couple reviews/articles about the series, I realised how brilliant the show was.
So many hints were dropped through the entire series, to explain backstory etc, and plenty of them went unnoticed by myself.
Definitely requires a rewatch, will buy the DVDs :)

I really liked Haruhi, save for the Endless Eight arc and the ending which I think left everything unfinished (I guess it's because the manga and the novel is still ongoing). I would love to see how it all ends.

Agree?I've only seen up to ep 21 atm (blame the fact I couldnt stream as there arent any subbed versions online so I torrent and im almost capped) but from what I've seen, Master Asia can rape mobile suits without a mobile suit. Im not sure about how good he is in a mobile suit though, he seems better without his master gundam.
I'll give final verdict of strongest non uc gundams and best non uc pilots after I finish Fighter G as I will have seen all non uc shows.

Narratively, the first half is nearly identical to the original series with less "gritty" drama. To be fair, the second half is ok at least.
Animation-wise, the artwork is very crisp, but just about everything is stock-footage.
In terms of characters, you'll end up hating 80% of the cast. Also, the main character Kira is probably the most hated ever.

Post by: Over9000 on December 13, 2009, 12:46:00 am
All three.Sif the artwork is crisp, I watched After War X and Seed, and I think the quality of After War X is almost identical, consider After War X is almost 10 years older, that makes Seed shit. Also, reused footage in Seed, almost all the battles have same animation (Hi-Mat spam), Seed is crap. The second half was worse than first half imo as well.

On another note, I believe the good Gundam series(of what I've seen) are: Gundam 00, After War X, G gundam (havent seen all but its really good), Turn A(best by far)
The ok one: Gundam Wing
The crappy ones: Seed, Destiny(moreso)

Seed and Destiny are usually clumped together as a single entity, they're basically a season 1 and season 2 of a single series.All three.

It's not just the crappy characters, its the boring ass plot and the stupid ass grunt suits that basically sit there waiting for Kira to shoot (watch after war x for grunt suits that can take a direct hit by a buster rifle and still survive as well as having capable pilots). The stupid romance between Lacus and Kira is so unbelievable it makes you cringe, it feels so fake. Cagalli and Athrun was a better romance which was not exploited to its fullest. The shinn and Stellar romance just sucked ass. Compare this again to After War X, Garrod and Tiffa had a believable relationship that was developed more so than anything in Seed (including characters and plot). The fighting scenes were re-used almost every episode, just changing the gundams being used every 30 or so eps.
Seed/Destiny has absolutely no qualities that make it better than any other Gundam series, that is to say, in every single area that it can be fleshed out, all other gundam series are better.
It's only popular and well received because it came out recently. Had any other Gundam series came out in 2003/2004, it would have been better received.
Destiny is a re hash of Seed with an extra "bitch" of a character (but admittedly Kira is less annoying)

Clannad= $65 o.OO =(
I was hoping there are many large/small shops where when you walk in you get blinded by anime =(
Any in the city perhaps?

But I do appreciate it, and will still check it out when I go to the city

I'll give you the drama aspect though - pretty well done IMHO.

Email/PM the ban team, I was banned randomly once, but they unbanned me the next day, apparently it was a bug.
hey cipherpol where do you get this information?
Yeah that chart is available on AnimeSuki forums and MAL, and a couple others.
I find, this site really helpful in finding who is subbing what in the current (or past) seasons of Anime:

My parents don't know what anime is, they just say "cartoon are for little kids" whenever they see me watching Clannad, and any other anime im watching =.=*
I was going to explain to them in Japan, the industry is a multi-BILLION dollar one, and that millions of manga/anime are sold every year...
*sigh. They also add "get a job, instead of watching baby cartoons"
far out! You finish year 12, get a good ENTER, get into Uni, and you can't have a little entertainment. sheesh

Watching 720p version now, is the entire series out in Blue Ray yet, and is the graphics improvement (on almost perfection anyway) worth the most likely 1g per ep?

But yeah, for something like Gundam 00, probably not worth the effort... ;D

Oh my god I totally know what you mean with the Gundam 00 OPs. They're absolutely beautiful, both in terms of animation and music!All the music in Gundam 00, the inserts, everything is fucking perfect EXCEPT for ED 1 WDF IS THAT SONG? ITS SPASTIC?

Not anime, but I still enjoyed watching Avatar: The Last Airbender.
It's not deep or anything, just something fun to watch.
They've made a real-life movie... like, people actors, not cartoons... don't really know much about it, but I saw a trailer for it.

Also, new movies coming out next year include:
The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
Higashi no Eden Movie 1&2
Gundam Movie 00
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works
Also Nodame Cantabile has a finale *sob*
And apparently there is a new Gundam OVA series coming out, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn (WTF)
Of course, many are yet to be announced, usually the Autumn and Spring seasons of Anime are the largest.

Of course, many are yet to be announced, usually the Autumn and Spring seasons of Anime are the largest.
Gundam Unicorn is based on a series of novels set in the late UC timeline. It's not regarded as part of the official UC canon, but it features some absolutely breathtaking mobile suit designs like http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/unicorn/msn-06s.htm and the eponymous Gundam itself.
Highly looking forward to the new Haruhi film, the Gundam 00 film and the Unlimited Blade Works (probably this one the most) film too.

Great 2009 anime (+late 2008 anime):
Higashi no Eden
Pandora Hearts
Bakemonogatari
Toradora!
K-ON!
Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Second Season
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Kimi ni Todoke
Clannad ~After Story~
At the present there are not that many great new series (other than continuing series), I would agree, wait until the Spring season shows are released.

How bad is the gore? Would someone who isn't phased by Baccano, Elfen Lied and other gorey films/series (ie. Dead Set, Kill Bill) be fine watching this?
Also, how often and how graphic is the torture? I'm usually great with gore in fights, but I always get squeamish with torture.
Post by: cipherpol on January 14, 2010, 03:21:49 pm
Alright, starting Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (When They Cry season 1), however just some questions.I'd rate the gore below Elfen Lied level, so you should be fine. It's not really that graphical, but the sounds and the voices do amplify the horror. As for the torture scenes; I admit that they did make me cringe (fingernails being ripped out, anyone?), but again, not really graphical.

Yeah Baccano was very good, once I got my head around the immense cast it was great. Love Miria and Isaac.
Also, did anyone watch Durarara ep 1? Seems really interesting (same writer as Baccano!) and amazing voice cast including:
Miyano, Mamoru - Light (Death Note), Tamaki (OHSHC) etc
Fukuyama, Jun - Lelouch (Code Geass)
Konishi, Katsuyuki - Kamina (TTGL)

Also, how often and how graphic is the torture? I'm usually great with gore in fights, but I always get squeamish with torture.
EDIT: Aha, did you enjoy Baccano? Rail Tracer is such a damn awesome character.
Thanks, it should be good (gore is fun :P)
Yeah Baccano was very good, once I got my head around the immense cast it was great. Love Miria and Isaac.
Also, did anyone watch Durarara ep 1? Seems really interesting (same writer as Baccano!) and amazing voice cast including:
Miyano, Mamoru - Light (Death Note), Tamaki (OHSHC) etc
Fukuyama, Jun - Lelouch (Code Geass)
Konishi, Katsuyuki - Kamina (TTGL)
Kamiya, Hiroshi - Tieria (Mobile Suit Gundam 00)
Nakamura, Yuuichi - Tomoya (Clannad)
Ono, Daisuke - Koizumi (Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)
Yep, watching Durarara currently. Yeah, the cast is awesome and first impressions are good :)
Btw just finished Needless last night, what an epic anime lolz, I thought it'd be some rip off parody, but it turned out to be an awesome watch.

Sorry, another question regarding Higurashi, which fansub would you recommend? I've heard Ayu is decent, but I would prefer higher HQ video (I've heard they are only 700x400 res), have u seen Exiled Destiny subs?

I watched Higurashi with Ayu for the first season and Hauu~ for the second. I've watched Exiled Destiny subs for other series, and although the video quality is better, the subs are sub-par and the font's quite ugly.

Alright, starting Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (When They Cry season 1), however just some questions.I'd rate the gore below Elfen Lied level, so you should be fine. It's not really that graphical, but the sounds and the voices do amplify the horror. As for the torture scenes; I admit that they did make me cringe (fingernails being ripped out, anyone?), but again, not really graphical.
How bad is the gore? Would someone who isn't phased by Baccano, Elfen Lied and other gorey films/series (ie. Dead Set, Kill Bill) be fine watching this?
Also, how often and how graphic is the torture? I'm usually great with gore in fights, but I always get squeamish with torture.

I'm about to start Elfen Lied, but I was wondering exactly how much gore is there???
Not that I overly mind it :)

Lots of gore, but it isn't too bad. My biggest program with Elfen Lied was the abundant nudity, makes it kind of awkward to watch, especially since they all look like children

Going to watch Umineko after Higurashi, which reminds me, is Umineko actually any good? I've heard it got pretty bad by the end.
Just saw this picture, and it pretty much sums up my thoughts after the first episodes of Gundam 00:

The Umineko anime does not do the VN justice. It was kinda rushed and missed out on some important clues which were included in the VN, so yeh, lots of people thought it was a rather bad adaptation. I'd suggest reading the VN if you have the time, definitely a worthwhile read.

Have you bothered getting any of the Bakemonogatari 720p/1080p rips? If so, are they worth the upgrade from HDTV rips? I've heard they have redrawn scenes etc.
Also, has anyone used [sudo] for Spice and Wolf s1? I've found BD rips, however, [sudo] apparently have great quality, small file sizes (they did with DTB s1 definitely).

Macross (THE ORIGINAL, screw Frontier, this is the best Anime of all time)
Macross: Do you remember Love (film retelling of the original, arguably better than the series)
Most Gundam series (SEED/SEED Destiny suck) - highly recommend Gundam 0080, Gundam X, G Gundam and the original series (Mobile Suit Gundam)
Neon Genesis Evangelion
RahXephon
Martian Successor Nadesico
Shinkon Gattai Godannar
Gun X Sword
Fafner in the Azure
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Macross Frontier (ok, fine)
New Getter Robo
Code Geass
Gravion
Mazinkaiser

Looks to be some great series on the way.
ATM looking forward to:
Working!
K-On!
Senko no Night Raid
Arakawa under the Bridge
Angel Beats

Yeah TTGL was good!
In my opinion, it's fairly action packed (it can frequently get rather intense, at times, during those battle sequences...) and relatively heavy on the music (considering the premise of idols/popstars). But they're pretty top-notch songs I reckon - if anything, at times they help build upon the mood during the action/mecha sequences of the show.
Worth checking out in my opinion, if not for its slick CGI sequences...
On another tangent, who has seen Baka to Test to Shōkanjū? Sounds pretty mindless, but I hear it's quite entertaining... Thoughts?

Arakawa under the Bridge

Working! - interesting premise, and judging by chara. design + A-1 Pictures, I'm guessing they'll be some sort of K-On! (moe-fied) twist to it...
K-On! - OK, I'm a bit of a sucker for anything KyoAni, and since I watched the 1st season...
Arakawa under the Bridge - it's a SHAFT series, so that's an automatic addition to my watchlist. Plus, I hear the premise sounds fairly trippy at times...
Angel Beats - Key adapation? NOT by KyoAni? Count me interested :P
I'll also add Black Rock Shooter (OVA) and (maybe) Iron Man, just to see how it goes...

I watched both seasons after one another, so there wasn't much suspense.
Imagine how the people who were following season 1 week in week out to find out that it was gonna end on a cliffhanger and that they would have to wait til the end of season 2 to find out what happens next! :P
It would be cool if there was another season, but I don't know what they'd put in it.
I just finished Fate-Stay Night not a fantastic anime, but it was good though.
Good idea, not so good execution IMO

CLANNAD After Story > CLANNAD (season 1) = ef ~a tale of memories~ > ef ~a tale of melodies~
ef had ridiculously good artwork/visuals, especially in season 1 (memories). A pretty great series overall (although I felt season 1 was stronger than season 2 - then again, I hated Mizuki...). Although when it comes to CLANNAD (especially AS), nothing comes close in terms of sheer emotional impact, in its purest form (nevertheless, I did have reservations 'bout the ending).
If there's one series that truly deserves BD (and HD 1080p) though, it's Bakemonogatari ;D

If we're only restricting it to TV series, then absolutely. ;D
If we include anime films though... Grave of the Fireflies is perhaps the most powerful statement of emotion and drama I've ever seen in an animated medium so far.

Really depends on the anime/manga, for example, a musically based anime such as Nodame Cantabile I cannot imagine enjoying whilst reading the manga. It needs sound!
So is there anything that benefits from being in black and white, with no animation or sound...?
Post by: Noblesse on February 28, 2010, 03:15:35 pm
manga is fkn gay, why read when u can watch
Because I'm guessing the anime generally cuts out a lot of the manga in editing, or deviates completely (eg. FMP, FMA1, Hellsing 1). Also, sometimes the overall style is changed from the manga -> anime conversion to make it more marketable.

Does anyone know exactly how long FMA:Brotherhood is going on for? It's currently at Ep 47 and I would like to start watching it, but if it doesn't stop at 50 eps I'm afraid I'll finish before the series finishes :(
I dunno when it ends, but the story does seeeem to be reaching a conclusion soon.
It's so much more epic than the first series.
EDIT: But it defs won't end at 50.

GG guess I'll have wait longer oh wells..
Start it now TT it's pure epicness.
Rumor has it the episode count will be around 62. However, the anime is catching up to the manga quickly and the final arc may be a movie or a set of OVAs.

I watched Grave of the Fireflies on the weekend, but it didn't really touch me... I just kept thinking that had he swallowed his pride and apologised to his aunt, or they'd headed off to Tokyo even though they weren't sure of their relatives' address, or he'd gotten a bloody job... things need not have turned out as they did.

Yeah what I liked about Grave of the Fireflies, is that the movie blamed no one. Neither the parents, the brother, the aunt or the Americans. It simply portrayed the tragedies of war.

Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
Typical shoujo anime, apparently very similar to Special A. Animation is a bit off. Audio is alright. Apparently sticking close to the celebrated manga which is always a positive (yes I am referring to you, Dance in the Vampire Bund).
8/10 currently - will definitely watch this.
Angel Beats
Animation was rather pathetic at times. umm can someone say Haruhi? No OP/ED yet. Action was alright. Storyline was dumb. Really dumb. Really hope the storyline improves...
6.5/10 currently - its only 13 eps so I'll watch it regardless...

Post by: Noblesse on April 04, 2010, 12:22:20 pm
Still waiting for K-ON!! and Arakawa Under the Bridge :)Yup cannot wait for those two, just hope Arakawa is more like Bakemonogatari than Dance in the Vampire Bund (in terms of quality etc)
Anything else good this season?
So far, only Kaichou wa Maid-sama! has been relatively decent, most of the other shows are ecchi or just plain silly. I'm keeping my eye on Heroman, apparently its got fantastic animation, but very generic storyline. So I'll see where that one ends up.
Coming up though, Working! looks good (first episode has already aired, was decent). Senkou no Night Raid and House of Five Leaves also look decent.

*WARNING MINOR STORYLINE SPOILERS FOLLOW*

*WARNING MINOR STORYLINE SPOILERS FOLLOW*
*WARNING MINOR STORYLINE SPOILERS FOLLOW*
Positives:
+ Intricate storyline
+ Nippa!
+ Rika-chan
+ Great balance between violence/gore and storyline
+ The fact that you started by WTFing at everything, and then started to love the characters and want them to succeed
+ Did not spoon feed the audience (required extra reading/concentration to put the entire storyline together)
Negatives:
- HUGE backstory, however a lot was apparently missed in the anime
- Animation was a bit terrible sometimes
- Mixed feelings about the ending, was a little anti-climatic, however it makes sense as that last arc was meant to be the "best possible" ending
- A few *minor* plot holes, although they may have answers I'm still looking...
Overall rating: 9.5/10
Go watch it, it's honestly not that violent.

really looking forward to high school of the dead lol, saw the trailer on youtube, looks ecchi but also looks fun ahahah
oh and im currently watching durarara, SO FUCKN EPIC MAN
Eps 1-12 of DRRR were fantastic, after that its pacing has slowed completely, and the writing doesn't seem as fresh. Still a good series though.
Going to watch from that list:
Highschool of the Dead - looks fun
Nurarihyon no Mago - Studio Deen :/
Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin
Legend of the Legendary Heroes - I'm a JunFuk fan, so I'll give this a shot
Amagami SS - hmm, will drop this if by ep 4 this isn't amazing
ShiKi - can't say no to a noitaminA show after this seasons triumphs (Tatami Galaxy + House of Five Leaves)
Ookamisan to Shichinin no Nakamatchi - looks like Toradora 2
Just like this season, most of the shows will probably be dropped (yes, I'm looking at you Working!, Maid-sama)

ecchi
Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecchi
Ecchi (エッチ?), also romanized as etchi, is derived from a Japanese word meaning "erotic", "lewd", "sexy", or "lascivious" when used as an adjective, or sexual intercourse when used as a noun.
FUCK YEAH ANIME SEX.

HSotD: Ecchi elements are uncomfortable. Some nice animation in there, but a lot of 'still-scenes', unacceptable in 2010, obviously Madhouse is conserving their budget. Hopefully the BDs will look better. Censoring is lol (wtb uncensored Saya's giga drill moment in ep2). Recap in episode 4? Derp.
Shiki: gorgeous animation, love the character styles. Great atmosphere. noitaminA. Recommended.

Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin: gorgeous animation, Maya is <3 , very Harry Potter feel. Anime original storyline. Recommended.
Anyone watching Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu, Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi or Nurarihyon no Mago and can comment?

Btw guys, here is the link for the updated camrip of Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu:

What has been updated with the camrip? Mazui hasn't said anything changed. I think this is the result of some miscommunication on MAL.

Mazui released a camcorder-subbed version ages ago, but nothing has been updated since. Waiting on the bluray/DVD release which is still unknown. (Checksum for the above file matches the anidb CRC old file).

Fall 2010 Anime season, what is everyone going to watch?
My watch list:
Index 2 - if I watch Index 1 by then, which is unlikely
Arakawa 2 - if I finish s1 by then lol
Otome Youkai Zakuro - looks pretty
Psychic Detective Yakumo - drama, tension, crime count me in
Bakuman - woottttttttt
Kuragehime - noitaminA instant watch
Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto - Bones what else?
Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru - SHAFT, enough said
The World Only God Knows - apparently the manga is excellent, a parody of the harem genre
Iron Man - WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE TO SCREW THIS UP MADHOUSE (compare 2009 and 2010 Iron man trailers :( )
Will end up dropping most of them anyway.

Also might give Super Robot Taisen a go - hopefully it's a better adaptation than the first.
Post by: IntoTheNewWorld on September 05, 2010, 11:14:59 pm
HOLY CRAP STAR DRIVER LOOKS AMAZING. DEFINITELY WATCHING THAT. (not seeing the Code Geass parallels though - the character designs and mecha seem reminiscent of RahXephon/Eureka Seven though, which would make sense since it's a Bones series).
Also might give Super Robot Taisen a go - hopefully it's a better adaptation than the first.

It's like they are trying to get banned off TV.
I am! Hahaha, maybe with the sperm episode? :P To be honest, I haven't been liking the show all that much and if it wasn't for Gainax being the producers, I probably would've dropped it...
I'm more keen on the other stuff from this season :D Been watching Bakuman, Ore Imo, The World God Only Knows and Yosuga no Sora

I thought episode 4 part 1 and episode 5 part two were fantastic. However the rest is a bit eh. I'll keep watching mainly for Gainax and those really good episodes hopefully coming up occasionally.
I'm more keen on the other stuff from this season :D Been watching Bakuman,Wish JC Staff hadn't taken on three shows this season (and cut funding from the sleep inducing Index 2) to fund this one. Unfortunately instead we get QUALITY animation -_-
Ore ImoNot watching, the name itself was enough to induce cringing. Heard pretty much everyone is tsundere...pass.
The World God Only KnowsWatching this one, hasn't been as good as everyone was making it out to be, however overall its been entertaining (with an awesome OP).
Yosuga no SoraIncest ho! no thanks
Basically the only ongoing shows I love are Kuragehime and Shiki (continued from last season).

Well, I suppose it's still a good watch; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to force myself through the 20 minutes viewing. It'll probably get old though after the 13 eps though... it would have too. The same way the transformation lost its impact (for me, at least) - that was bloody awesome the first time!!

I'm not following you. Are you unhappy with the animation quality in Bakuman? :| I'd agree with you, but I'm not sure if that's what you're getting at.

Watching this one, hasn't been as good as everyone was making it out to be, however overall its been entertaining (with an awesome OP).
I actually didn't know about it, or how popular the manga is. I've been finding it really entertaining too. and "YES" to the OP being awesome. Speaking of which, that will be released soon in the coming days... Nipponsei :D

Hahaha. I actually didn't realise what I was getting into when I started watching this, but I kind of want to see the plot through now that I have.
Basically the only ongoing shows I love are Kuragehime and Shiki (continued from last season).
Yeah, I've been meaning to watch Kuragehime, but the subs available aren't great (gg aren't perfect, but they were best available). Are you watching umee's?

When Stocking transformed in ep 4, part 2 I almost died. *almost* perfect. I'd agree though 13 episodes is plenty.

LOL! Yes, okay, that was good too. Jeez, and Panty in the background with that "wtf" look, hahahaha.
Sorry, sarcasm. It's dreadful.
You don't like the anime itself though? I suppose it is kind of a niche anime - being an anime about making anime... Real hardcore slice-of-life.
Already out, 8.08 minutes :O
With OPs, I tend to find that I prefer the little portion that's used in the theme as opposed to the entire song. Cheers for the link. Who ripped this, by the way?

Yeah, okay, I actually didn't realise that they were going for the omnibus format... :P

Sounds awesome. I'll have to get the v2 script once it's done - then I can start watching :D

I find the comments on fansub websites hilarious. Like what happened with the gg-UTW joint.
Also, I was listening to the OP while writing this. The song constantly shifts! I definitely prefer just the minute or so that's used in the theme.

Also, I was listening to the OP while writing this. The song constantly shifts! I definitely prefer just the minute or so that's used in the theme.It reminds me of most classical music, eg. lengthy with many movements.

Hoping for a bit much there, I think :P Ah, right, fair enough. VCE or Uni exams? Because I've been following all the aforementioned series all throughout the (VCE) exam period :D
Edit: From your profile, assuming uni.

okay might start watching Code Geass from the beginning!Yeah definitely watch from the beginning of season 1 through to end of season 2. It's epic.
by the way, which episode of Death Note does it veer off from the drama?
^ Is Clannad AS a season of Clannad? Can i watch it on its own or do i need to watch the other ones?Yeah it's the second season, you need to kinda watch the first season to know the characters and background, if you launch into AS straight away it feels a bit empty :( but first season is not as emotional as the second season but is pretty funny and does get quite dramatic.
(dont know much about it, but heard it was good)

Because it was daring, fitted the story perfectly, had great animation (in contrast to the Sigh arc) and pissed off the hardcore Japanese fans (another reason I'm a fan of Panty and Stocking this season). I do wished there was more variety in the activities shown, however that would defeat the purpose of making the audience experience the monotony of the situation like Nagoto.

2. Death Note
3. TMNT (say what you want, but it's an anime in my view)

It'll probably be another season of endless eight.
I LOVED endless eight so I wouldn't mind :P
howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I didn't like watching endless eight, but I do like it for the reasons you said - it made you really feel the monotony that Nagoto endured, and it was daring for the writers to do it.

Just in case some of you prefer to wait for an anime to complete before watching it, Shiki has now ended.
Do not deprive yourselves of this fantastic show.
I love Shiki, great show.
Mushishi, everyone should try that, it's something different/fantastic.
Oh, and if you enjoy a bit of fan service every now and then (who doesn't) then try Highschool of the Dead, it's enjoyable enough.

No, there is not. However they are working on a spinoff of Code Geass, however details are currently scarce.

Is 'One Piece' any good? I have a friend who is addicted (like watches/reads at least 2hrs/day) and is pestering me to follow him. Just wondering what AN thinks of it.
Haha I don't watch 2hrs a day, unless it's on the holidays.
Although yes, One Piece is definitely my favourite anime; Monkey D Luffy FTW! :D

ghost in the shell nuff said
This. (Because you totally couldn't tell that I fangirl all over the Major...) Amazingly insightful, well-written and witty anime, with a stronger female protagonist who is conveniently also very attractive as well as badass. It's thought-provoking too, because it raises some valid philosophical questions. I like Gurren Lagann and Ouran High School Host Club and other more light-hearted shows, but Ghost in the Shell really is awesome. Neon Genesis Evangelion and Bokura Ga Ita are pretty good too. Maybe because I just sit there and cry during every episode...

-better than matrix, inception...etc
-epitomizes the idea of 'the ghost in the machine' (for those who don't realize the resemblance)
-philosophical
-presents a different angle on life
there is so much i can write about this but after you get sick of shounen anime, be sure to watch GITS
If you enjoy Death Note, I recommend you watch Code Geass, Monster (psychological thriller - on par with GITS), Darker than Black, Serial Experiments Lain and Black Lagoon.
many more, pm me if you want to know

I just watched AnoHana, wow probs one of the animes that comes close to beating Clannad AS lolEh, too much forced drama for my tastes (similar to Clannad). Also, crying is a lazy emotion IMO (referring to the characters tearing up over EVERYTHING). Still, it was rather good.
I'm really enjoying Tiger & Bunny, Nichijou and Steins;Gate currently. Also, Mawaru Penguindrum has just started, but its first episode was really interesting.

fairy tail will be going on for a long time, i'll bet. i'm not sure exactly how long, but my bet is going to be around 200? MAYBE. Bet you it'll be like one of those inuyasha animes. Not to mention there's going to be a movie coming out this year!
But watch it. Seriously. Maybe the episodes in the beginning are like, "yeah, predictable," but it gets better. funny characters, awesome relationships...exciting plot! ^^

I watched Gundam Wing when it was on 'Toonami'. Enjoyed it until the ending came up, it was soooo embarassing with that politician girl roaming with animals and my dad sitting on the computer. >.<
I might as well check at Gundam Age. Have you seen those 3 ova/movies of Gundam Zeta?
EDIT: Ewww, Just watched a couple minutes of Gundam Age. The detail is soo.... undetailed. One colours. >.<. The gundam looking pretty... plain? Standard stances of that gundam. >.< But I guess it's aimed at children. >.<.

Hey, You seen the first 6 minutes, of ep 5, on youtube yet?
I remember distinctively that ZZ was more 'funny' or humourous.
Argh, You reckon mobile suit gundam is worth watching? I might just skip and watch chars counter attack. That. Looks. Good. You could check out those OVA's, I believe theres like a couple minutes of new footage. And gullible people like me still watch the entire OVA just for the NEW scenes. >.<
Any chance you've seen Legend of the Galactic Heroes? Starts off pretty slow but gradually gets better!
TT, What's your take on Tieria? Girl or Boy? Got into an argument with a friend about it, a humourous one, not a fan boy one. ;)

Well, technically, since anime counts as animation originally made in Japan, no.
BUT WHO CARES, I CONSIDER AVATAR AS ANIME AND THAT STUFF IS AWESOME. People should watch Korra.

ARGSGE, I thought it was pretty amazing whenen Audrey Burne (Hepburne?), or Minerva /whatever,, was in Zeta Gundam!! They even have that purple hair guy in Gundam UC episode 5! :Onah i havent checked out ep 5 trailer yet, i'll have a look soon, but yeah i found zeta to be more darker and intense than ZZ, the characters in ZZ just got weird...

MSG starts off a bit slow but it gets pretty intense, back when i watched it, i heard about how everyone talked about amuro being the best pilot and stuff, but didn't really believe it when i watched MSG, but seriously, amuro ray may look like a pizza hut delivery man but he's undoubtedly the best gundam pilot lol
i havent watched legend of the galactic heroes, its ranked top 10 on MAL but it's way too old and i'm pretty picky about quality of animation etc lol the gundam franchise is probably the only series which i watched something pre-2000.
lol tieria, for some reason ive always thought of him as a guy, but he does look pretty girly haha i dono, probably just sunrise mind fucking us yet again
Post by: Mr. Study on May 14, 2012, 09:15:11 pm
My face on the ending of Zeta, :o. Kamille but then the OVAs do stuff to that ending and make it...... Sshhhh spoilers. :)
They have 2 trailers and the first 8 minutes of episode 5 on youtube. Very good stuff. Don't want to spoil anything but what a shocker! Makes me rile up inside that they make Gundam Age. Tomino should've been, 'I dont make crap like this'. Hey, You also seen that Ring of Gundam? I saw it, nothing amazing really, waste of 5 minutes. :O
You should check out LOTGH, I was skeptical aswell but I find it pretty enjoyable. The battles are actually thought out, hence the need to use less animation to actually show it. Also, they don't have imbalanced gundam suits winning the battle (Transam or what ever it was. :O). More like space ships. >.< The character designs are pretty detailed, if that helps. >.<
Geez, Everyone has a MAL. :O You seen Berserk? Good stuff, except for the amounts of nudity and sex. :O
If you do have a profile, Any chance you could link me? I'm pretty curious to see what other animes people watch. Not many people I know watch anime. :(
EDIT: I'm curious, Did you find Gundam Seed Destiny to be sub par, when compared to Gundam Seed? I read that the writer of Gundam Seed Destiny was pretty slack writing the scripts.

Plan to watch 390? I doubt i'd be alive when you're done with that! You have very good taste. I remember finding out my friend watches Maburaho, (No one google that! Disgusting, vile, evil stuff),... I can't look at him the same way again...
Baccano! Amazing show! Sooooo fun to watch! The music and characters! The ending was soooo satisfying! Haha!
Ahahahaha, Golgo 13? You plan to watch that?! I saw one episode, he is practically an aim bot! He shot 3 guys, using 3 bullets, in less than 3 seconds. No joke. It is sooo stereotyped! Try Mad Bull 34, that stuff is living off stereotyped stuff. (Warning: Not for the squemish). however, I actually enjoy the, short lived, show. The ending music is great but the stuff inbetween the opening and ending is, blatantly, pure junk.
Hey, Check out Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, I think you probably have seen it already, given it's pretty popular! The movie is.... wonderful! :D
Watch Nodame Cantabile! Great emphasis on music but I couldn't care less for the romance. >.< Watch Gintama aswell!!! I've seen every single episode! Funniest stuff I have ever seen! Ahhhh. :D I'll probably dress up as Ginpachi for end of year 12 dress up assembly. :)
You SHOULD put Berserk on your list, I g-g-g-g-uarantee you'll enjoy it! If not, you can watch the new movies they're making. They have the first 10 minuits on youtube.
Check out this on Bakuman being sexist. http://www.mangatherapy.com/post/1543578362/sexism-in-japan-bakuman
EDIT: Why u no put Code Geass on your to do list? That anime is pretty good!
EDIT 2: Just realised you had Gankutsuou on your list. Why not watch that?! I was spell binded by it! The japanese actor speaking french is OMG. Also, You might as well wear a suit, drink RED wine, and have a dog next to you, while watching the show. No joke, That is how 'posh' the show feels! The show is amazing to watch, the detail, plot and music. Put that on your number 1 list!
Post by: TrueTears on May 14, 2012, 10:14:58 pm
basically my MAL = to download list + downloaded list + cool never heard of this random title let's just chuck it on the list
but seriously, bakuman is some good shit, i can't wait for the finale season 3!

Post by: Mr. Study on May 14, 2012, 10:18:41 pm
You disappointed with Gintama not getting shown for a while? :( The movie was pretty good. Also, Watch Berserk! Even the trailer! It is sooo good.
Eww, Some of the stuff you chuck on your list looks like garbage.
EDIT: That show is the epitome of upper class... Hahahahahahaha ;D
EDIT: Check out macross, if you haven't seen it. I hear good things. Also, you seen ghost in the shell? I've watched a few Stand Alone Complex's and cannot understand why Motoko wears her cloths the way she does. Geez. (Also, movies are pretty good, I probably don't understand the philosophical side. :'()
Post by: TrueTears on May 14, 2012, 10:22:16 pm
yeah gintama is one of my all time faves, i haven't seen the movie actually, but in the meanwhile, watch sket dance :P yeah maybe one day ill get around to watching berserk but after watching F/Z, doubt id watch any old animated series lol
Post by: Mr. Study on May 14, 2012, 10:27:10 pm
Ewww, Sket Dance. I saw the cross over with gintama. The guy who talks through the lap top. >.>. How un-necessary!
Hey, You seen Rurouni Kenshin? No excuses! The animation/music/story/characters, may as well say everything, for the OVA's are amazing! The TV series.... not so much. :D
Post by: TrueTears on May 14, 2012, 10:30:02 pm
nah I haven't seen Rurouni Kenshin, too old for me :P no matter how good the series is, if they are pre-2000 (heck probably pre-2002/2003) i won't watch it simply coz im a visual-fag and can't stand bad quality animation even if they were good for their time. The only exception is probably sailor moon LOL which everyone grew up with...
Post by: Mr. Study on May 14, 2012, 10:33:41 pm
Don't watch the TV series. That stuff is junk! Ahh, They're re-making the TV series actually. Maybe you can finally watch it. :P
How about I watch Sket Dance and you watch Rurouni Kenshin OVA? You know, one of those stereotyped highschool pact things! :D
Post by: TrueTears on May 14, 2012, 10:37:21 pm
alright well i'll check out the OVA when i finish my current series, beelzebub lol how long is the OVA?
Post by: Mr. Study on May 14, 2012, 10:41:32 pm
Yeah, I knew I could convince you! It's only 4 episodes, half an hour each! How about.... halting Beelzebub? I know you won't regret it! Ranked like the top on the list of OVA's... on MAL though....
Also, You seen Clannad?
Post by: TrueTears on May 14, 2012, 10:45:04 pm
yeah clannad (and mainly clannad AS) is my no.1 anime forever, undisputed. PERIOD
man i shed manly tears (everyone shed tears, how could you not?) in AS, ive seen the entire 2 seasons like 8 times, 4 of those i marathoned with over9000 back in year 12 and we both shed tears, then continued to shed tears when i rewatched it myself. And i NEVER rewatch a series, i hate rewatching series', i've never rewatched anything besides clannad, that's how good it is, fk i shud change my username to Clannad instead of TrueTears lol

Actually, I used to marathon. Watched mmmm 24 episodes of Eureka Seven one night. It was not worth it. Try waking up in the morning. Ugh, I couldn't even remember episodes 18-24 becuase I was half asleep! Oh well, It was worth it. ;D
I saw the first episode of Clannad, Got kinda put off when she was standing under that tree, out in the middle of nowhere. How good is it? I skipped and watched the last episode of Clannad AS but that didn't even spoil anything. >.<
EDIT: Don't change your name! No one will know who Clannad is! Hell, it'll sound weird seeing someone called Clannad answering math problems. ;) I swear I haven't heard of the anime true tears.
EDIT 2: You seen Madoca Magicka or what ever? I hear it destroys the stereotyped 'magical girl' genre. I've been meaning to watch it but.... ::)
EDIT 3: OMG, They're making a 7th episode for Gundam UC. :O
Post by: TrueTears on May 14, 2012, 11:13:54 pm
but yeah OMG HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE SEEN CLANNAD, alright in all honesty the first season is pretty meh, but you NEED to watch it to shed tears in season 2, i mean seriously, clannad after story, ranked 2nd/3rd on MAL (do not know why it's not ranked first, screw you gintama fans :P), trust me if you stop watching anime, you gotta finish off clannad AS, it's the best, it'll change your views on life, it'll draw out your RAW emotions, it's just that good.
And DONT SPOIL IT FOR YOURSELF ANYMORE, you're lucky since the last ep of clannad AS doesnt spoil any of the storyline, if you're going to watch clannad, dont even youtube it/google it, because chances are, the first thing you'll read is a huge spoiler and ruin ur tear-sheding moment when you actually watch it.
mahou shoujo madoka magica is pretty good, i'm not a big fan of mahou shoujo genre, the only ones i've really seen are cardcaptors (<3), lyrical nanoha (another mahou shoujo anime which destroys the whole genre, but less dark than madoka). but yeah madoka is like steins gate (hint hint :P), it's pretty good but i don't think it deserves to be ranked that high as it is on MAL.
but in all seriousness, watch clannad+AS, just plug your way through the first season, i admit i didn't really find it that amazing when i watched it too, but everything comes together in after story which leaves you grabbing your next box of kleenex, that is, if you haven't already run out :P
Post by: Mr. Study on May 15, 2012, 09:51:39 pm
Yeah, Eureka Seven Ao. Watched ten minutes and got bored. The music is nothing like the original and the character designs are ewww.
Watched a bit more Clannad. No offence, but that the main girl seems pretty one dimensional and her parents are annoying. >.<
Forgot to mention, That blonde hair guy is bloody annoying aswell. I enjoy it when the girl bashes him up.
I'm assuming AS makes the blonde hair guy a....... likeable character? Or he already is. ::)
The card captors DVD's go for like $500. No joke. But they're re-releasing it in australia. :D I remember watching it on Cartoon Network aswell! All good until the theme song came up and my dad was ... on the computer. :'(
Did you watch it uncut and all that? I never liked uncut anime, when I was a kid, as it sounded like R 18+ stuff. ;D
The main guy is alright. What episode does it get intense or 'better'? (For teh first season) (I won't skip!).
BTW If I don't cry at this show, Does that make me heart less? ;)

Post by: TrueTears on May 15, 2012, 10:14:38 pm
Yo,lol clannad doesn't exactly shine until mid way to end of season 2, however, the characters will grow on you, it's on arcs, so the first season focuses on the different characters and their respective 'arcs' as they appear in the game (visual novel to be exact). You'll see that in AS, almost every character is likeable and you can personally relate to almost all of them. Ohhhh trust me, you will shed a few tears at least in season 2 lol, there's a reason why it's ranked consistently ever since it came out top 3 of MAL and on aniDB, this show is just that powerful :P

Clannad was better when it was just a VN.Yeah I do admit that some of the side arcs were probably done better in the VN (I've played through the entire VN), but there are OVAs for tomoyo and kyou, the tomoyo one is a masterpiece and I think is done much better than the VN (cmon it's animated!) but the kyou one lacked impact and wasn't as emotional as the one in the VN. However given that, they did a reasonable job for each characters respective arcs, I mean it's always hard to animate a VN and clannad is by far one of the best animated VN there are, compare it to all the other junk VN-adaptions, clannad is a league above.
However the main route, Nagisa x Tomoya, is done almost to perfection in the anime, you can't really find ANY problems with the animation of this arc. It's widely agreed that it's probably the best animated main arc out of any VN adapations.
This is what makes Clannad AS so much better than the first season, the first season was just there to follow the side character's arc from the VN and slowly make you grow to understand and like each character. But this is essential to understanding the main arc in the 2nd season, without the first season you will not understand the transformations that the 2 main characters have undergone through their life, which in AS is done to perfection.
Seriously, just read the reviews on mal (actually go read some of them, they're written so eloquently, better than any review i can ever come up with lol) http://myanimelist.net/anime/4181/Clannad:_After_Story, there's not a single bad review on this series, and most MAL viewers are picky kents :P
Post by: Mr. Study on May 15, 2012, 10:47:21 pm
I'll probably watch like one episode a day, I tried watching more than two and it kinda got stale. :P
Did you see the Rurouni Kenshin OVA yet??
EDIT: Does that mean you've seen Air and Kannon? I hear that it's 'like clannad'. :O

ive seen air and kanon, they pale in comparison with clannad, key's only good work is clannad, although some ppl like air and kanon, the majority consensus is that clannad is by far the best. Angel beats comes pretty close too though, although it's a bit too short to have an impact.
Post by: Mr. Study on May 15, 2012, 11:01:58 pm
Have you seen the Clannad Movie? (I'm guessing the answer is already a yes. :P). If yes, Any chance you could tell me how if it's any good?
I read a few reviews of Clannad on MAL and it seems to me that this show is life changing. >.>. I'm guessing it'll be more worth while than attending a mediocre VCE stress less/what ever seminar.
Post by: TrueTears on May 15, 2012, 11:03:16 pm
:D, You better not be downloading that movie they made of Rurouni Kenshin. Now that was BAD. OVA's, good stuff. :DLOL ive seen the movie, i've seen everything clannad related, the movie is crap, it's animated by a different company, the character designs are completely different, ignore the movie, don't watch it, it'll just ruin the show for you lol

Wow Fate/Zero is amazing, every episode is like a movie, and the animation is probably the best ever, action scenes are unparalleled.
Goddamn you TT - I spent the last two days watching this.
My only excuse is that I was sick... I wasn't going to get anything productive done anyway =.=

Before I watch any anime I watch the Ova if they have one... Very bad choice for High School of the Dead lolhaha yeah, i remember watching like 5 mins of the OVA and was like 'ehh, wtf??'
luckily i watched it after i watched the entire series, or i probs woulda never bothered watching it
lol HSotD, just panty shots and boobs action + some smashing some zombie heads in, cudda been so much better if they left out the ecchiness and had some serious plot development
yeah? i dont remember it being too much of all that,
just love the smashing zombie heads!
can't grasp at how people can enjoy cartoon intimacy lmao

I actually managed to watch the ova on Youtube... I think the only part that was funny was when the fat dude was shouting something like 'Revolution' or when the main dude was about to be bitten by zombies near the end.. everything was dodgy :/

Why would you watch an OVA before the anime...?
Just to see if the animation is good as well and to see who the characters are and how they have developed and to not ruin the main plot if I do start to watch the anime because of the ova :)
Post by: JellyDonut on May 23, 2012, 11:24:43 am
Why would you watch an OVA before the anime...?You'd do it with Hellsing since the anime isn't really anything to call home about. Character development is also shallow enough so that you get the gist what's happening really quickly. OVA was terrific though (I think)

Apparently it tells the story in arcs, like what would happen if this and this happened which leads to who dies. I watched it until the end of season 1 and got bored of it even though there's all this hype surrounding it, if you do finish it let me know how it is lol
hmm surprised you didnt continue with all the mystery involved
the second season basically answers everything, its pretty interesting. You should try it.

Is 'One Piece' any good? I have a friend who is addicted (like watches/reads at least 2hrs/day) and is pestering me to follow him. Just wondering what AN thinks of it.
this is how it goes, i wish i havent seen one piece so i can go back and watch it again thats how epic it is. if i were to compare it to Naruto i would say it better than Naruto.

For movies I'd put in Howl's Moving Castle, the Disappearance of Haruhi and Spirited Away. The Haruhi movie is way better than the TV series, since it's really well animated and actually has a really interesting plot. I was killing to find out what happened next.

and I felt no sympathy for the male, he should have just sucked up his own pride/dignity/w.e and lived with his aunt, it wasn't that bad living there. But he was too stubborn and, with the money that his parent's left him, he thought he could survive own his own, whilst supporting his sister, ... with no job and no shelter but I guess that is attributed to his age ... I can't remember how old he was.
I was put off by NHK when they had the

maid scene .. *cough*
Oh and I watched 'Now and Then, Here and There'. That's a very good anime to watch, it's an oldie. Basically about children soldiers being exposed to war and dealing with the aftermath of their actions. (
Spoiler
i.e Rape, Killing, Psychological Well Being etc...
EDIT: I forgot to mention. Watch the movie 'Redline'. Such a good anime film, it doesn't really look like an anime, but it is and it was animated by Madhouse. The ending was beautiful, with the accompanying music. XD
(Don't search the ending music on youtube, it gave me quite a shock but it suited the ending perfectly)

Spoiler
Yeah I found that frustrating too. Although what frustrates me more is that I think people are misinterpreting Seita's (older brother) motives behind leaving his Aunt's. I don't think his decision was an issue of stubbornness or pride. I mean he is 14, coming to grips with the death of his mother, uncertain about the fate of his father and is burdened with the responsibility of looking after his sister, what has he to do with pride! I mean he is clearly unwelcome, even from the beginning and the last thing someone like himself needs is the feeling of being unwelcome. Of course he was foolish to leave but he was nearly compelled to do so.
Maybe he felt a need to escape the reality of his situation and isolate himself from the world and felt that moving to the old shelter/cave he could achieve this. In my opinion he could be forgiven for his decisions, however wrong they may have been. If he thought that he couldn't of survived alone with his sister, I seriously doubt they would have moved

Post by: friedchicken on May 12, 2013, 07:21:01 pm
:o :O I might wait for the anime reel screening of it.I thought it was pretty convoluted, though the standard mecha fare action scenes were pretty sweet. The general gist of the plot isn't actually too hard to follow and it doesn't get particularly philosophical like episodes 25 and 26 of the original series, but it's confusing mainly because a lot of things are left hanging and unexplained. The movie went off on a completely different tangent than the original series, and the implications of Shinji's actions in the movie aren't clearly stated. I guess it's so us viewers feel the same sense of confusion as Shinji does in the movie, since there is a pretty large time gap between the end of 2.0 and the start of 3.0.

What do you mean by you didn't get much of the plot? The only thing that put me off the series was how the plot went kind of weird and psychological at the end. Does that happen in 3.0 :/
I mean, even the battles didn't make sense for me. They're fighting Eva Mk.4s from out of nowhere (I thought the things were an Angel with the whole cross explosions), and the Mk. 9 or something which looks like Unit 00 is called a Vessel of Adams or something?? I mean, they introduced more than they explained. Yeah it was a new twist from NGE but A LOT has changed. Still it was fun to watch.

(Madoka Magica's fight scenes come into mind or End of Evangelion <3).Yeah for clannad you kinda have to live through 30 episodes or so of complete agony. Try Angel beats it has a lot of comedy, slight bit of romance, great CG and a pretty good ending.

I used to borrow the Dragonball Z series from my local library lol, I never really figured out anything chronologically cause I was always watching random episodes (whatever was available at the library), I was mainly in it for the action lol (it wasn't til I started using the internet actively that I read about pieced together what happened + I started playing DBZ games [Budokai anyone?] and the storyline started fitting together lol)
Plus I used to go down to Blockbuster and rent one of the DBZ movies every month or so lol

I've seen Clannad AS and Fate/Zero.
I'm watching Steins Gate at the moment. I'm up to episode seven. It didn't really grab me at first, but then the storyline started moving a little bit and now I'm finding it really interesting. The thing that has captured me the most about this is how realistic the story progression is. I feel like this is something that could actually happen, how the characters were slowly scratching the surface at the start and now they've unearthed something huge.

I encourage watching it till the end. I'm not sure, but I'm a real fanboy for Makise. I grew to love her as the story progressed, and you will realize why soon as the story unfolds! Enjoy.

Sorry, for that huge chunk of text in my last post. I was on my phone and I was trying to be vague enough to not have to use a spoiler tag without ruining it for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. I'm glad everyone understood what I was trying to convey ;D
This is just my own speculation, but I think I already know how it ends.

Like many time travel storylines: the end brings you back to the beginning.

do you guys read naruto ?i used to, it became too long i cbf
Yeah... I almost dropped the anime in the early episodes because the pacing was WDF-slow, but holy shit how wrong I was.Yeah same, I almost stopped at episode 10 but then it began.
Speaking of steins;gate have you guys watched chaos;head and robotics;notes?

if anyone can help clarify the following, it would be much appreciated
and if not obvious enough, spoilers ahead, so don't click if you haven't finished!!
Spoiler
so on the day of the conference from the first episode, okarin came back and bumped into kurisu on the stairs and said "i'll save you" or whatever, but back in episode one, she pulled the original okarin from the lecture room and asked him what he wanted to say to her fifteen minutes ago. didn't he already say it?? "i'll save you"??? I was thinking that it might have been from when the okarin from the first attempt on saving her fucked up and just mumbled something rubbish when he bumped into her but then that wouldn't make any sense. am i just reading too much into it??
also, I still don't get the effect of the first d-mail sent: how did it end up cancelling the conference and resulting in a fucking time machine crashing into the radio hall??

also, I still don't get the effect of the first d-mail sent: how did it end up cancelling the conference and resulting in a fucking time machine crashing into the radio hall??What the d-mail did was send okarin into the alpha worldline and the alpha worldline was where the time machine had landed and makise hadn't been killed. It's been a while but I think thats what it was.

hmm yeah I guess so, but with the reversal of all the other d-mails, there was like, a direct effect on the world (e.g. if ruka never turned into a girl, he/she would never have been in the shed or whatever cleaning and wouldn't have broken the ibn5100; if feyris never sent the ransom msg, the ibn5100 wouldn't have been sold etc.)

Disclaimer: I finished Steins;Gate yesterday. It was amazing. My prediction was correct, but saying this doesn't do it justice.
Spoiler
The first d-mail was the one Okabe sent to Daru saying that someone had stabbed Kurisu. In the end, Okabe didn't actually undo that d-mail. Okabe 'transcended' time by allowing time to loop on itself.
This is my train of thought:
(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh109/fyrefly89/improcrastinatingsobadly_zpsf7db6ceb.jpg)
Now... to answer your question about the effect of the d-mail: Daru said himself that he thought the first d-mail was just spam and he just ignored it. The first d-mail didn't trigger any significant action in the past when Daru had received it five days prior, and in this sense it's kind of like those few failed attempts where Okabe tried to stop Moeka going to the shrine or when Daru tried to beat Faeris. However, the first d-mail did still have an effect, only the effect of the d-mail was felt after it was sent. The effect was that Okabe recognised that the d-mail had been sent to the past and he realised the implications of this. It's the only d-mail that doesn't affect an event in the past relative to the Okabe depicted in the anime; the first d-mail only affects the future without having any apparent effect on the past relative to the Okabe depicted in the anime.

Post by: Fyrefly on June 23, 2013, 12:05:15 am
It's really good, but I should mention that it's kind of gory (more gory than Elfin Lied).
Storyline:
(I've put a spoiler tag, but everything I've written here is explained in the first episode)
Spoiler
The story paints a bleak future where mankind has been almost entirely wiped from the earth by mindless, human-eating giants called 'titans'. These titans have roamed the planet for more than a hundred years, and humans are fighting a losing battle. Humans have been forced to live within the confines of a single (albeit large) settlement protected by a set of walls 50m high, or else fall prey to the titans.
It's scored huge ratings on Japanese websites, and it's definitely the talk of this anime season.
It's only up to episode eleven so far though - I know a lot of people like to wait until a season is finished before watching it.

I actually don't mind watching anime as they air.
I pick about two or three, and I watch the new episodes each weekend.
It helps me pace myself so that I actually study during semester too, instead of just marathoning when I find an anime I really like, ha ha.
I used to only watch anime over the summer holidays because of this, so it's a nice compromise.

But yeah the second arc wasn't that good.
I've started watching Shingeki no Kyojin because Water recommended it.I've only just started this show actually, and I thought it was going to be not that great since the premise didn't really hook on for me, that is until I saw how much of a badass everyone was with their 3DMGs. Seriously, I can't get over how ingenious those things are.

Post by: psyxwar on July 05, 2013, 07:45:19 pm
Not anime, but this manga series is great. It's kind of like Shingeki no Kyojin, but about giant humanoid cockroaches.
With the space program attempting to travel to Mars, 21st century scientists were tasked with warming up the planet so that humans could survive on its surface. They came up with an efficient and cost effective plan of sending cockroaches and mold to the surface so that the mold would absorb the sunlight and the insect corpses would serve as a food source for the mold.
It is now the year 2577, and the first manned ship to Mars has landed on the planet and the six crew members are ready for their mission. But what they find are giant mutated humanoid cockroaches with incredible physical strength. The crew members are easily wiped out, but not before sending a transmission back to Earth. Now, humanity will send elite warriors to exterminate the mutated bugs to reclaim Mars.

Asif awful ending =O
I thought ~AS~ ending was perfect.
Sorry to revive an old discussion, but having just watched both Clannad and Clannad AS (and having absolutely loved it), I would like opinions on the ending of Clannad AS.
**SPOILER ALERT**SPOILER ALERT**SPOILER ALERT**
People will often allude to the 'deus ex machina' plot device in reference to the ending and I don't think it is entirely justified. Yes, it is very sudden and even though I had sort of anticipated Nagisa's return, I was still taken aback. HOWEVER, contrary to what many people think, I think the way in which story plays out in episode 22 doesn't break or bend any of the laws set within the anime.
If I am not mistaken, Okazaki's efforts to help out those who are close to him and his actions in general, are what make the return of Nagisa and Ushio possible. It is established, well before Nagisa's death, the wish granting capabilities of the light orbs (which in Okazaki's case, have been obtained by the happiness of others as a result of his actions).
It is great how seemingly unrelated and irrelevant parts of the story, glue the story together in the end. Having said that, exactly how the light orbs work and the link between the Clannad universe and the illusionary world remain a bit of a mystery to me but I hope that by re-watching the series as well as playing the VN I will achieve a clearer understanding. Having read through this thread, I understand that TrueTears has watched these series several times, so I would appreciate your input and opinion and perhaps an explanation of the mechanics and function of the illusionary world and explanations of the other hard to understand aspects of the story.

Spoiler
There has been arguments on whether all the character routes happen in a parallel world (I.e each character route happens in another world) or it just loops.
The reason why Nagisa life is linked to the town :
When Nagisa was small she did have a cold and nearly died. It's the thoughts of town where that rescued her. From that point on, her life is linked to the town. But as time changes the town changes (The name of the BGM "町、時の流れ,人"(Machi(The town),Toki no Nagare(The flow of time), Hito(People) that played in the very first episode reference to that) , hence Nagisa became weaker. Unfortunately she didn't last during that scene, hence she died and Visual Novel went on to 1st End (Bad End).
From let's Consider whatever happened before 1st End in World A , the fantastical world as World B, 3rd End (Good End) as World C.
From Bad End where Okazaki falls apart , we go to World B where all the Hikari no Tama stuff happens.
From then on we have a situation where both A and C are parallel world but with different ending. (I really need to dig the visual novel at that part to answer why. )
I didn't do 2nd End when I played it. It's been too long since I finished the visual Novel.

Thank you for sharing that. So do you think that playing the visual novel is necessary to have an understanding of some of the more obscure parts, or will re-watching and closely analysing the anime series suffice?

Rewrite is probably an excellent choice if you want more Key stuff. (I actually rate it better than Clannad because of the setting, It relates to the world in general rather than more individual focused)Rewrite was so damn long I was losing bits of the plot everywhere, and one thing that's always bugged me after finishing it is
Spoiler
I have no idea how the Moon Route started. How did Kotarou get up on the moon and he was invincible? Unless that's just Kagari reviving him every time she kills him. That route was like wtf for the first couple hours for me, but the ending was nice, I was just extremely confused during the start.

Kotarou is initally sent to the moon to kill kagari. (Remember in all the routes kagari ends up being killed)
As time goes he did change his mind and decided to help kagari (moon) to finish her theory,
But invincible? I am not too sure.

Some of the fundamentals are different, which I think makes it different enough to SAO such that it has its own unique storyline.
For example, in SAO the characters can die, but not in Log Horizon... which seems great at first, but creates its own problems because people are living meaningless existences without purpose nor an end.
Anyway... it's up to about episode twenty at the moment, and is currently airing.
It's set in the same world as SAO, but I think about thirty years later.
Post by: Kuroyuki on February 19, 2014, 09:54:51 pm
For anyone who enjoyed SAO, I recommend Log Horizon.Are you sure they are set in the same world?

I'm fairly sure they are two different animes with no connection.
I also recommend Noragami.

Are you sure they are set in the same world?They're not set in the same world (pretty sure Log Horizon is set in the game 'Elder Tale' since it's mentioned quite a bit near the start of the anime) but the overall feel of SAO and Log Horizon is pretty much the same. Log Horizon is just more technical (the explanations are really cool) and Shiroe is not as near of a slayer like Kirito LOLOL :')
I'm fairly sure they are two different animes with no connection.
I also recommend Noragami.
And for those who don't know, SAO II has been announced.
Upcoming anime I'm looking forward to include SAO II (please don't screw up), Psycho-Pass II (Y) and Akame ga Kiru (worried about the censoring though :/)

Hitman Reborn is good!!
I know right! But the first 20 ep or so are just repetitive gags (apparently it started off as a gag manga but then shifted to a battle manga due to low ratings), so you can just watch the first 5 ep and skip to ep 21. But its awesome! Sad they ended it at the Byakuran arc though :(

Gokukoku no Brynhildr - Reminds me of Elfin Lied. I think if you liked that, then you might like this.
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei - Uh... I'm not really sure what it reminds me of. I think it reminds me of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun in terms of the overarching themes, but more serious rather than humorous. It's already up to episode six though, and I feel like the storyline isn't moving as fast as I had expected.

Also HunterxHunter (the 2011 version) is really good! Probably one of the few anime's I've watched that keeps me on the edge of my seat every episode, also the Arks never get boring!
No game No life is a recent anime but the first ark just finished (12 eps). I don't know what it is, maybe its the awesome unpredictable plot, the hilarious comedy, the character designs? Or maybe all of them? But this anime just smashed its way into 1st place in my book! Seriously guys, just watch it you might be like ??? :-\ right now, but once you get through the first ep you will be like ;) ;D :o 8)

Oh yeah and make sure to keep an eye out for Akame ga Kiru (bound to be awesome so long as they don't censor out stuff...)
And also continuing with Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei and Haikyuu from last season!!
Spoiler
Also it's been released that SAO II will have 24 episodes so it's pretty much concluded that they'll rush GGO and probably go onto the Mother Rosario arc as well... hoping that they won't since GGO was a really good arc but yeah this is judging from last year's anime...

I saw the CM for Akame ga Kiru a while ago and bookmarked it because it looked interesting, but I don't know anything about it. You've read the manga?
Spoiler
Mainly the start of the actual manga [to set the mood] and the start of Volume 10 aka when you see the bad things that Wild Hunt do.
Also the manga doesn't have a lot of filler chapters so the plot keeps on going and a lot of characters tend to die throughout the manga so it keeps you on your feet I guess :)

The way I see it, creators possibly wanted it, Nickelodeon said no, creators not-so-subtly implied it while leaving a heterosexual romance possibility alive too, and left the fandom to continue with their shipping wars. In terms of the relationships, I would have preferred a more solid ending, but everything else was beautiful about the finale :D Such great animation and music! The show will be missed :'(

Why do you think neither of them worked out with Mako? ;) /insert-some-joke-about-how-people-in-denial-always-go-for-the-obvious-hunk-instead-of-engaging-in-their-own-interests-here
Nah, that was alright - not sure what I was suspecting, but it wasn't too bad. Stank quite a bit of Korra-trying-to-do-too-much syndrome, and suffered from some classic Naruto "OH LOOK SYMBOLISM HERE AND HERE AND HERE DID YOU SEE IT NO WELL HERE'S SOME MORE OH LOOK AND LIFE LESSON HERE TOO WOW AREN'T I SMART". Not to mention how shoehorned that ending was.
Still, an enjoyable journey that I might take again sometime. :') And the above is really just over-the-top analytical criticism that year 12 English has instilled in me LOL. Darn Dickens, how dare you be such an impressive author...
Post by: Fyrefly on December 20, 2014, 01:52:45 am
Spoiler
Also about the ending, there had actually been hints throughout S3 and S4 building up to it, but I was still surprised they went through with it. I would have preferred the BFFs option personally and that was the scenario I had in my mind up until the finale, but I feel the ending was pointed so strongly towards a romantic relationship between Korra and Asami that that's the only possible interpretation I can apply to it. I agree that the producers were probably restrained by Nickelodeon so the final scene was as far as they were allowed to go without being any more obvious.

This psychological thriller, based on the manga written and illustrated by Sakae Esuno, is about Yuki, a loner who's not very good with people. He prefers to write a diary on his cell phone and talk to his imaginary friend, Deus Ex Machina – The God of Time and Space. However, Yuki soon learns that Deus is more than a figment of his imagination when he makes Yuki participate in a battle royale with eleven others. The contestants are given special diaries that can predict the future, each diary possessing unique features that give it both advantages and disadvantages. Within the next 90 days, the contestants must try to survive until there is only one left standing. The winner will become the new God of Time and Space.
To be honest, I'm really obsessed with the opening XD

- Psycho-Pass Movie
I swear I'm remembering Psycho-Pass from ages ago - and yet all of a sudden there's a bunch of new stuff coming up for it. What's with that?

What's with that?Haha well Season 1 came around 2012-2013 but then before they released Season 2 (which finished this week) they repackaged Season 1 and instead of 24 episodes, they combined two together to form a 12 episode series of Season 1 again so people could get ready for Season 2 LOL :')
But yeah I liked Season 1 but Season 2 was a bit iffy for me.. but definitely hyped for the movie since the trailer looks pretty cool (despite the dodgy spoken English here and there xD)

So should I watch the original 24 eps, or the repackaged 12 eps?

So should I watch the original 24 eps, or the repackaged 12 eps?I didn't watch the repackaged version since I had already watched the original 24 episodes (which was really good) but if you can sit for 40-50 minutes (pretty much two episodes in one sitting) then I'd go for it otherwise stick to the original! Apparently they add some new scenes in the repackaged version but I would think they would be pretty minute because if they added too much then it would detract from the original (not to mention there would be a whole meltdown on MAL LOL jks ;O)

Spoiler
The *big* hint I saw was Korra blushing when Asami complimented her new (short) haircut. To me that seemed odd for "friends", but I wasn't convinced by something as small as that that they were supposed to be gay.
EDIT: Confirmed by creator.

Oh, Merry Christmas~
But yes, whenever, watch it. You'll regret not having watched it earlier ;)
DARN YOU.
I REGRET WATCHING IT SO SOON BECAUSE THE SEQUEL ISN'T OUT FOR ANOTHER YEAR AND A HALF OR WHATEVER AND I'M GOING TO BE INCONSOLABLE UNTIL THEN. :'( Time to get on the manga...

hahahahahahahhahahahaha oh my god this was literally my reactionnnn. ;D ::) :'(
But how good is it.
Imagine how I felt when there were false rumours about the sequel being released in 2015, not '16. Goddamnit.
There's a live-action movie version coming out next year though!! Haruma Miura! Satomi Ishihara! YESSSSS.
I tried to read the manga but the art bothered me too much. I got up to like chapter 10 or 20 but dropped it ::)
Welcome to the waiting game.

Welcome to the waiting game.
It's pretty funny, actually - because I did discover the series before it got popular, because one of my manga series I was reading stopped and I needed a new one. I then got too lazy to finish it (or get up to the training "arc". :P), and didn't have time to watch anime at the time (compared to manga which take just a few minutes to read). I had been planning to watch it for ages, and probably would've when I found out season 2 was coming out.
BUT NO. I HAD TO LET YOU CONVINCE ME TO WATCH IT EARLY. :'( Worth it, though, so worth it, hahah.
I gotta say, though, as good as it is, I was on the wiki and noticed some differences in the final episode when compared to manga, and I feel the anime made some bad choices in the changes it made. Oh well, though~ Not like they did something plot-breaking like with all those books-to-movie movies...

Hahahahaha. Actually that does suck though XD Sorry for making you watch it early and screw up your plans :P
Worth it is was, and that's all that matters. Now you're not in the dark.
You can spaz out when Guren no Yumiya comes on like the rest of humanity.
You can question when they will go to the goddamned basement forever. hahahah
Oh really? I didn't know they changed it. Lucky I didn't read the manga or I would probably be raging to everyone like I did with GoT (Yara? Really? People aren't so stupid they get names mixed up (at least people that watch GoT)).
Yeah, I'm scared. And tbh I think they do twist around the plot. Levi isn't even in it ;__; some other weird character I've never heard of us :'(
I'm looking forward to the CGI:

Nah, not that big a deal, hahah. Who knows, I may have just gone "eh" when the second season came out and not watched it ever. You may have saved me from a horrendous fate. :P
HOLY SHIT YES. BEST OPENING THEME EVER. EVEN BETTER THAN THE LAST CODE GEASS ONE.
Wouldn't know, I don't watch Game of Thrones... :P Unless this is another anime I'm unaware of, which wouldn't surprise me given your apparent love for all things Japanese, hahah.
WHAT. THAT'S STUPID. :'( LEVI IS THE BEST CHARACTER EVER.
Spoiler
I still get chills from that time he just completely destroyed the female titan in seconds. And then when he flawlessly saves Eren, despite the fact that in the original plan he needed five of the ELITE'S ELITE to save him, which actually required amputation!!
Ahhhh, I'm going to be on this for a while, hahah. I still need to catch up with Fate/stay night at least, too. >.<; I shouldn't have started the new Gundam, hahah.

Nooope. Good ole' American television (ha). I doooo recommend it though. Even if you're too #hipster, it's still definitely worth a watch.
Do love the Japanese ;) Anime, manga, J-drama, language, history... but Korea somehow takes precedence most of the time (
All hail Levi oh my godddddddddddddddddddd

did you just write amputation get out get out get. out.
So much anime, so little time. A feeling that is no doubt mutual to every person in this thread.

LEL nah, I got the translation going through my head when it plays. :P Funnily enough, the syllables match! Whoever did the subs have done well, there!
Nah, I'd rather not watch it. Like, I might enjoy it, but it seems incredibly violent, and real-world violence can make me go funny... (and yet I survived Dokuro-chan, so clearly drawn blood is fine? xD)
Ahhh, reminds me of my younger days. :') Minus the Korea thing, hahah. Truth is, I basically gave up on Japan after year 12 Jap... Like, it's taken me the next 3 years to get back into anime or even try and speak the language again. (if I do continue to learn, I'll self-teach. I could not do formal teaching again. .__.)
Spoiler
Yes. Yes I did. Got a problem with that? :P DON'T DENY IT, YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE~
Depends on which Gundam. Only one I've ever finished is 00 (nearly finished Seed, though), but it is superbly written, and I actually couldn't sleep because it was so good and I had to watch more. Like, mecha fighting happens, but it has a much bigger emphasis on the world and politics than it does on mecha fighting. I'm watching the new one now, and it's not as good, and seems more like a case of "MUST CRAM AS MUCH MECHA FIGHTS IN AS POSSIBLE". In fact, there were a few episodes of 00 that mecha don't even fight/are barely seen, so I definitely recommend even if you're not a mecha fan. (I'd say I'm not, but Zoids <3 )

Could you link me? Ironically enough I used to learn German but was never able to sing along to the first part. :-[
Ahhhh... yes indeed, there is that. Also a fair bit of fun if you get my gist.
Blood errywhere//
Fair enough. I usually go in and out of things I like and do. I hope I won't get out of Japan though. It's kind of where I want to head career-wise and I don't want to lose interest when I get to uni. Which is what, 4-5 years away for me? If I'm done with Japanese next year, I'm actually scared about how I'll keep going. Up until now I've been self-teaching, so I'm thinking about continuing that with JLPT as the goal. Sigh.
Though I'll probably do 3/4 again, since I have plenty of time. No penalty, no reason not to.
Sounds interesting. I might actually look into it. That's fairly rare, coming from me. In that last couple years the only anime I've watched is SnK and another that I will not speak the name of

I couldn't find it anywhere on youtube, but to memory the intro line translated to something like "They are the prey and we are the hunters".
Ahhh, I see.

Sudden realisation about how off-topic we're getting (pretty sure it's my fault, too, hahah), so I'm only going to respond to the anime specific stuff. Sorry. :S
Oh God I didn't realize either hahaha. Well fine by me in any case :P
I couldn't find it anywhere on youtube, but to memory the intro line translated to something like "They are the prey and we are the hunters".That would explain jaeger. Something along the lines of..... wir sind ? (wtf is prey in german) und sie sind die Jaeger(der jaeger singular die what is plural is wonder).
Ahhh, I see.You found THAT part of the internet, eh? ;)I definitely suggest giving 00 a try, though!! I'd write more, but it tells you so little, and makes you figure out so much that it's not worth it unless you go in with an empty mind. (and then rewatch after knowing it all and gasping at all the hidden spectacles you missed the first time. >w<)
I should not try.
You make it sound like
Ahhh, fair enough. OMG the best shows are ones that are awesome to rewatch. Hidden gems, I swear.

Thought Anohana was an absolute masterpiece, I finished watching it like two days ago and I just can't get over it. I get 'those feels' lol. Those weird, empty feels where you just miss watching those characters because you feel so attached to them, and also you can never get over the ending.
Anyway this has been my new hobby over the holiday. Before the holiday began I had never ever read a single chapter of manga or watched anime!!! Bit nerdy but really loving this new hobby!
--
Has anyone watched or read any of those? Want to discuss the ending with spoilers??
Also can someone please reccomend me any manga or anime similar to ANohana? I watched Tokyo 8.0 after it and it was no where near the standard of anohana, and they were released the same year

From the top of my head I would think Clannad (and Clannad: After Story). Similar cute plotline with sad twists here and there... and that undeniable god-forsaken mother-f***ing ending.
Also though I haven't seen it I've heard Angel Beats is similar/really good.
IDK if you'd still be into all this shojo after these but what the heck, they're good.
But you know, Attack on Titan.
Post by: Rod on December 30, 2014, 06:39:56 pm
Yeh I know whenever I see a picture of her I get those feels hahaha! What was so good about anohana was that right from episode 1, they build up all this hype and emotion, and then in the last episode it calls comes together in a really heart-warming, touching way, if you get what I mean xD.
Yeh thanks for the recommendation, I heard angel beats is really similar on how they build up to the last episode and then absolutely get you right at the end.
I'm currently watching and reading mirrai Nikki because a friend recommended it after I watched anohana. But it's nothing like it, kind of like the hunger games lol but more interesting, gory and wicked. I'm kinda hooked into it.

It's not a tear jerked like the above, but it's an anime that I think is a masterpiece. It's called 'Hyouka'. :D

PARASYTE IS AMAZING!!! Can't believe it's taken almost 15 years for it to be adapted to an anime (manga finished in 1995 like waaaat)!
Haven't watched Tokyo Ghoul yet but heard some amazing reviews about it, I'll give it a try when my bytes come back lol.

Also watching "Satan is a part timer" and that's really hilarious too. What i also like about it is how well the scenes are drawn. I've been to Kyoto and the other areas it's set in and i recognise a lot of the scenes they drew, they're dead on accurate, which just amazes me.

Watching Assasination classroom lately, strange but very good.

I'm reading the manga of Ass-Classroom, haven't checked out the anime yet, but yeah, its um, different :P
Haven't heard of 'Satan is a part timer' before, but from a review, it sounds pretty hilarious! xD. Seeing scenes in an anime or any show in general just makes watching it that much better. Gosh I love comedy anime that have top quality animation, will definitely check that out!
Guys plz, seriously you all should check out 'Shigatsu wa Kimu no Uso' (Your Lie in April). I hate to admit that I can't review it in a way that will do this anime justice, but there is a really good review I found on 'myanimelist' below (its not actually a spoiler, the review is just quite lengthy), there's only 22 episodes which is perfect imo.
Spoiler
A review by juungi:
Quote
Hers was a white lie built on a grain of truth that snowballed as one lie after the other piled up. At first it was only hers, but then it became something that the two of them shared together – like a secret, a world upon which no other could encroach. He may have been “Friend A,” and she “the girl that loves my best friend,” but they were masquerading around a truth that neither one could openly admit because ultimately, the truth was much more painful.
Your Lie in April is a deceitfully masterful series that initially appears light-hearted and colorful, its palette boasting pastels that lend to the idea of it being another romantic comedy. Yet the moment we step past the disillusionment that it casts upon us by its false prefaces, we quickly realize that what we have immersed ourselves in is actually a tragedy in the making.
Tragic not because of a single element but because of all of its parts, and yet at the end of everything, this isn’t a series about tragedy. It is a series about learning to heal, learning to move on, and learning to accept the parts of ourselves that we’d rather pretend aren’t there. Part of that is accepting that sometimes we need a helping hand to take that first step. Part of it is learning to say goodbye when the time comes.
What is so compelling about the storyline is that it’s not merely an adventure into first love, it delves into the reality of post-traumatic stress disorder, childhood abuse, and chronic illness. It doesn’t paint any of these as artistic or tragically beautiful—they are horrible, they twist people, they ruin the best moments, and they have a long-lasting impact.
No one is completely black-and-white; everyone has their short-comings, fleshed out in full before our eyes. They have their hang-ups, their strengths, their struggles—and it’s in these characters that this series really takes off in full stride. It would be enough for them to be multifaceted with equal amounts of depth, but they take it a step further in painting the reality of youth.
Older anime fans may critically analyze the series as an unrealistic approach to young teenagers, but that pessimism overlooks the reality of what it was like for us to be that age. We were all that point when we found our first love, when we thought it was forever, when we poured our passion into something that ultimately would not come to fruition or last. That’s what being young is about—and that’s what Your Lie in April gives us.
Granted that it may veer a bit over-dramatic at times in its representation of youth; there are moments of symbolism or hyperbole so overt that the cheesiness makes you shift a little uncomfortably in your seat (but I promise it’s not enough to gag you). Given that this is, however, a rather common trope that runs in series with heavier themes, it’s not necessarily a huge setback for an otherwise solid series. In the end, it is intended to be a fictional representation that conveys more than just what can be summarized in a few sentences or less.
The sound is completely on point, and the soundtrack artfully matches the emotions intended to be represented in each scene. From the actual classical music to the opening and ending, everything fits in like a jigsaw puzzle to give a full, satisfying final piece. When the characters analyze someone’s playing as harsh, rigid, and stilted, we can hear this—whether we are knowledgeable about music or not. Your Lie in April conveys emotion to us not just visually but aurally as well.
The animation is wonderful with bright, vibrant colors that bring the characters fully to life. There is an amazing, visually perceivable transition for the characters as time passes, particularly in regards to Kaori as the series moves on. It occasionally has some stilted moments but nothing outrageously noticeable to detract from the overall quality.
Ultimately, Your Lie in April is a story that starts out of the gates moving a bit slowly, but the pace matches the tone of the series. Structurally, it is a solid story of youth that dramatizes some aspects but never distracts from the intended message. On top of its other strong points, it’s aurally and visually a joy to the senses – and to anyone appreciative of a series willing to realistically approach the conflict of childhood abuse and the resulting trauma in a positive way. It’s not without a few setbacks, but in the end, Your Lie in April fashions itself to be a stand-out romance series that reminds us that while some relationships may be transient and brief, some people will come into our lives at just the right time for just long enough to touch us in a way we never thought possible.

Guys plz, seriously you all should check out 'Shigatsu wa Kimu no Uso' (Your Lie in April).
Actually translates to "April is Your Lie".
I didn't read the review you put in spoiler tags, but I think I'll watch it - thanks for your recommendation.
Edit: Forgot to chime in about Ansatsu Kyoushitsu. It's such a ridiculous pretense for a storyline that it makes me watch it, even though it really is a terrible anime. It's so bad that you like it, ha ha.

...STEINS;GATE 0 !!
Was confirmed on 28 March '15, but the release date hasn't been mentioned.
Is it a true sequel...?
Spoiler
From what I've gathered, not really. It's set in the beta world line in which Okarin gives up on saving Kurisu. I assume this eventually leads to his future-self sending the message 15 years back into the 'past', telling his 'past' self to save his Assistant in order to prevent WW3 from occurring. I think. Because it's set in the beta world line and not the Steins gate worldline, it's more of an exploration of the former rather than a sequel to the latter.

WOOOOOO! Steins gate was definitely my favourite so far, didn't click the spoiler, but honestly I don't know how they can make a sequel cause the ending was quite nice.. I just.. really hope they do it justice haha

Haha, if you've watched the whole series then you can click the spoiler :P it's only there for those who haven't watched the anime yet. Basically Steins;Gate 0 is based on the beta worldline in which he gives up on saving his 'Assistant'. So it's not a true 'sequel'.
Have you watched the movie?
Edit: although I have yet to read them, I think it incorporates the Epigraph Trilogy (manga series).

Yep, well I watched the movie a while back on youtube (although the subs were adequate, it wasn't the best translation)- thought it was pretty good, and answered some questions such as regarding the reading steiner and what not.
Spoiler
Although in the beta world line, isn't that the one where Kurisu dies in episode one, after the conference meeting? Or is that the alpha? idk I haven't watched it in a while so it's definitely due for a rewatch soon!

Really? I don't know Japanese ('concluded' my Japanese in year 9 lol) so I wouldn't know.Btw have you watched the visual novel version? Not sure if it's worth it, considering the anime was already really good.SpoilerAlthough in the beta world line, isn't that the one where Kurisu dies in episode one, after the conference meeting?

Spoiler
Yeah, the beta worldline is the one where Kurisu dies. So SUPPOSEDLY, the new series will essentially be an exploration of events which lead to Okabe sending the message to save Kurisu/prevent WW3 15 years back.
Nah, I haven't watched the VN. But I've read the alternative endings included in the VN on wiki.

Also watching "Satan is a part timer" and that's really hilarious too. What i also like about it is how well the scenes are drawn. I've been to Kyoto and the other areas it's set in and i recognise a lot of the scenes they drew, they're dead on accurate, which just amazes me.
Just finished watching 'Satan is a part timer' and OMG AHAHAHAHA exaggerated humor is my fav humor when it comes to anime :P. Can't believe they aren't making a season 2 tho :'(
