Hellsing is a good short anime.
Elfin lied was brilliant if you can see past the explicit content.
I am currently on the end of Soul Eater which has been an alright series.

I've watched hundreds of anime series in the past few years, but not recently. I stopped about 4-5 years ago because there really just wasn't anything to watch anymore....
Series (plus my awesome commentary)
- Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (KGNE): Drama love story. What more could you ask for?
- Shingetsu Tsukihime: Think, anime version of Twilight, but not as lame.
- Onegai Sensei: Nice boobs, alien love story. It's good.
- BECK (manga too): Music rock band anime, awesome.
- Honey & Clover I & II: Slice of life, hipster anime.
- Cowboy Bebop / Samurai Champloo: Same producers, both awesome story lines. Field of Mary Jane sets on fire!
- Code Geass I & II: Amazing, amazing story.
- Full Metal Panic series: Super high quality animation, and nice boobs.
- Mushishi: Stories of life, get lifted and watch this...lots of lessons to be learned
- Love Hina: One of my original favorites
- Full Moon wo Saga****e: Singing drama, really nuts
- Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal: The Original Gangsta
- FLCL: Goofy, silly, and overall fun stuff
- Princess Mononoke: epic story
- My neighbor Totoro: must watch classic
- Spirited Away: my first anime movie, blown away
- Ghost in the Shell: super amazing quality
- Grave of the Fireflies: really really sad bro.
- 5CM: probably the best drawn landscapes I've ever seen in anime
- Ah! My Goddess: no homo
- Akira: classic
- Initial D (all stages)
- Bleach: uverworld is nice
- Samurai Champloo: good catch naranja

- Robotech/Macross - saw the former on TV as a kid and the latter many years later when Harmony Gold released the remastered DVDs. Pretty much how I got into anime, but it's very '80s by todays standards. For other "children of the 80s," hidden on a shelf in my shop lurks Jetfire. :D
- Bubblegum Crisis - liked both the original and the reboot
- Serial Experiments Lain - pretty cool in it's day
- Ghost in the Shell - the movies and SAC series. Saw 2.0 too.
- Ah! My Goddess - I have no idea why I liked this, but I kind of did. Maybe it was just the fan service. Pretty cheesy, but funny.
- Coyboy Bebop - got blown away by this. Was the reason of a former anime rekindling.
- Full Metal Alchemist - the orig was great. I can't figure out Brotherhood. Seems like the same thing but modernized.
- Angel Beats - I was surprised by this one, too. Strange, but quite good. Some of the comedy had me laughing harder than any other anime I can think of.
- Mushishi - a little slow, but interesting in a Spirited Away kind of way
- Bleach - started watching this out of boredom and got hooked. Watched the whole thing and the movies (whew).
- Darker then Black - this was going places. Hope it continues.
Other Movies...mainly obvious ones:
- Princess Mononoke
- Spirited Away
- Akira
I've started a bunch of other ones but didn't get into them.

If you haven't watched Code Geass, I'd recommend that over Death Note all day. Similar concepts though, but personally, I think Code Geass is much much better.
Code Geass is too dark imo.
I believe too it's better written, but his darkness just makes it less enjoyable for me.

current best recommended anime to watch is
accel world. You can catch it on hulu (actually hulu has the anime faster than sub groups every friday) it's a 26 eps series, i think it's up to 16? now (fiance and i are waiting till it finishes, since it's so good, we're tired of waiting week to week)
another good anime recommendation from last season is "another" a great suspense anime. Really anime has been very few slim pickings for a few years/seasons take these 2 recommendations. (you can still catch another on hulu)
Post by: Djuzuh on Tue, 07 August 2012, 15:52:15
i've watched a lot of mostly everything, it's better to list what i don't watch which is mostly magical girl/fan service ecchi types.

guess it depends on what you want from an anime, i want/like a great story characters, while this can be had from ecchi/fan service sometimes it just leans in that direction so much something has to suffer. I guess in a way i'm stigmatizing and classifying it "bleh i won't watch it, it's gonna deterrioate" into crap sooner or later. Doesn't help that fiance' is tired of it also. It'd be different if the ecchi/fan service worked well with the series and it was good story wise/character wise but usually i just see the animes lean way too much into it that it overshadows any hope of a good story. (which is fine, just something i'm not looking for)i've watched a lot of mostly everything, it's better to list what i don't watch which is mostly magical girl/fan service ecchi types.

Can't really input much on anime more than anyone above, its been years since I've cared for watching a series versus reading the manga. Although loved the animation styling of Bakemonogatari. Still haven't seen it's sequel, but someday.

Clannad
Toradora
Noein
Steins;Gate
Genshiken
I, myself, have watched a ton of anime (and still do) over the years. A lot of the new stuff is pretty bad, but there are usually one or two good anime in a season with maybe 1 really outstanding anime every year or two that's a must watch. Steins;Gate was really awesome and I highly recommend it - the first episode can be confusing, but there's a reason for that and it all makes sense at the end (get the OVA as well to have a nice wrap up to the story).
Also, Genshiken is awesome too. It takes the otaku culture and makes it into an anime, rather successfully, which is both interesting and hilarious at the same time. I really love the cosplay parts in it too!

I only went to one convention and that was like... 9 years ago (holy crap time flies). It was pretty cool, but I'm just not really into that thing and so I haven't gone to any others since.
As far as anime, I don't limit myself to anyone genre - I just watch what's good. I love mechs, though, and I've watched a lot of those types of series. Currently, Gundam Unicorn is a favorite as it's absolutely an amazing series (it's a shame there's such a long delay between releases) and the music is top notch. I do watch slice of life too, and even some romance. Just whatever suits my mood and doesn't suck or fall into the typical anime tropes that tend to annoy me these days :P

Kimi no Todoki was really cute :) But got kind of bored at some point in the second season. One of my favorite romance/comedy shows has to have been Toradora.Yea it was a bit slow but i dont mind shows that do that as long as ther dont make it feel like filler which to me that show didnt have any or very little. I also like toradora a lot as well i bought the dvd set when it was released in the us without really knowing what the anime was like and it was a great find. Anothe great on in my opinion is Working/Wagnaria I fell in low with the anime, heres to hoping the 2nd season hit dvd/bd ib the states so i can own a copy.
Also forgot from my list i forget the name but the translation to english was something like "gods memo pad".
Also who here regually watches anime and possibly partially keeps up with the newer releases.
Post by: Halverson on Thu, 09 August 2012, 02:56:42
Gods memo pad...doesn't ring a bell. But it reminds me of "The World Only God Knows". I think the anime is fairly new, but been reading for a long time. Lurvvv it

I gotta say, props to owning a collection of sweet shows. I had a terabyte drive loaded with anime of all sorts. But one day, someone tripped on the cord while watching Chobits..and it has never worked since.Reminds me of when my 5+ year psu died and took the mb with it cause the raid arrary to just fall apart. I ended up loosing 8TB of data which at least 2TB was anime.
Gods memo pad...doesn't ring a bell. But it reminds me of "The World Only God Knows". I think the anime is fairly new, but been reading for a long time. Lurvvv it
Well i ended up finding it kami-sama no memo-cho and on the us release its going to be called Heavens notepad.
O and what i guess i was trying to do on my previous post was call out the otaku descrietely...

Of the anime mentioned in the last page or so I loved Sakamichi no Apollon, Kimi ni Todoke, and Toradora. I watched 5 eps. of Hanasaku Iroha but kind of lost interest when I saw that the guy from Ohana's old home was back in the story. Out of the anime that I have watched this summer Nana, Kobato., and Sakamichi no Apollon are my top 3.

Rather than read the manga, read the actual light novels (its actually relatively famous as it was the first ever Web Novel, that is just some novel a guy posted on his website/blog, that ever became published).
I have the novels myself but there are also available online at Baka-tsuki and translated into a few languages as well.
Of course its massive spoilers since the Anime will only cover volumes 1-2 when we are already at volume 10 (not that the anime stops midway or something, the first volume can be read as completely stand-alone like Dune, the second volume is just side stories on the first volume. The next 8+ volumes expand the story but aren't necessary for the first story.)

Been reading the Gantz manga for years, now, and it's completely worth it if you enjoyed the anime. Personally, though, it's been slipping the last few months (maybe a year). Just not enjoying the way the story is playing out now.
Gotta check that out

Yea it has been slipping, but getting to that point is well worth the ride.

Any suggestions if I was a big fan of Cowboy Bebop?
Post by: Halverson on Sun, 19 August 2012, 00:04:13
I am not really "into" the whole mange anime thing, but I have really enjoyed the few shows that I watched. I started with Cowboy Bebop and was entranced with the storyline and really wished they made more of them. After that I watched the Full Metal Alchemist (original) series but then didn't watch anything else. I tried Ghost in the Shell but I couldn't get used to it, just too deep for me.
Any suggestions if I was a big fan of Cowboy Bebop?
I would recommend watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, loved it thrice as much as the original series. Also if you're a fan of Bebop, pretty sure you'd enjoy Samurai Champloo.

bebop is pretty unique and has a great fairly deep back story behind their semi random adventures. FMA (original) has the same styler in that regard. FMA Brotherhood on the other hand is high tension the entire time they mainly focus on what was the backstory in the original. I also agree that Samurai Champloo is probably as close of a fit to Bebop as there can be, the anime is done in much the same style. Another one that yo umay want to look at would be outlaw star as it has a stage close to Cowboy Bebop. To realy find what anime you enjoy youll just have to watch and experience more as what you have seen so far is just the small amount that has made it to US television and only a fraction of that really. I may be weird in the fact that I pick up anime ive never head of and just start watching them. I usually at least get 6 eps in until i decide whether i like it or not and whether i want to continue. As I try to give everything a chance.

It really got me interested in the anime scene Ive tried to watch other animes but I cant find any that are that intriguing to me. The ones Ive seen since I havent completed but only watched a couple of episodes they are Cowboy Bebop (kinda got bored and stopped) and Darker than Black (currently watching this one) but they arnt nearly as good.
Post by: TheProfosist on Sun, 19 August 2012, 04:52:44
If anyone here has never watched an anime before and just thinks they are bad like I did. Do yourself a favor and watch DEATH NOTE. It will keep you interested and on edge.well what did you like about death note. Also it should be in the chart i posted try some from the same section as it.

Lupin the Third and Samurai Champloo.
Bebop was inspired by Lupin the Third and Champloo is done by the same director.

Bebop is rated as one of the best animes of all time by many sources. Comparing Deathnote to Bebop is like comparing Goosebumps to Game of Thrones.

Agreed especially since Death Note was able to draw in a large amount of the non anime crowd due to the style it was done in. I see it as one done for ratings not for just being what it is. Thats not saying it was a bad anime but i think generally speaking a lot of people didnt make it through the second part due to the changes that were made as compared to the first part.

i am unfortunately one of those people, i gave up at that point. It was soo good up until then
As for Cowboy Bepop, im moving that on to the top of my priority list. im sick of hearing how awesome it is yet have never seen it.

Sticking to the Adult Swim theme that this page has had w/ Cowboy Bebop & Death Note I would recommend Outlaw Star and Wolf's Rain to almost anyone if the synopsis of either series interests you at all.Might want to throw in Witch Hunter Robin in the mix as well then.
Post by: wiredPANDA on Fri, 24 August 2012, 09:58:03
And some more solid staples were Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, Vampire Hunter D (all movies).
The last few seasons of anime have been a little lackluster, too. Enjoying Sword Art Online, right now, but most of the new series are just not all that memorable.

I've taken a look at Samurai Shamploo and really wasn't into it. The main aspects I liked about Cowboy Bebop was the storyline and the cool themes. The music in it was amazing too! I just got the OST again and missed hearing the seatbelts!there are plenty of anime out there that have that atyle though they may not be as accomplished at it youve just got to look. Also try to broader what you watch, pick up thinigs cause they sound interesting or something i posted a giant list of anime a while, all of which are rated highly or they wouldnt be on there.

Hahahha Gon's dad was one pimp of a 12 year old!!
Gotta say, Hunter X Hunter has been a great ride in the manga world, although the multiple recent hiatus' have been a pain. Although I think the artist/author has been ill for some time, and even when she/he was doing work, the quality was slipping bad.

I finally gave in and watched 8 eps. of the second season of Yuru Yuri. since yesterday. The series has been pretty enjoyable so far. Nothing unexpected, just slice of life with a bit of yuri goodness.
I woke up early this morning so I decided to watch Denpa teki na Kanojo which I really enjoyed.
Although I think the artist/author has been ill for some time, and even when she/he was doing work, the quality was slipping bad.This happened when I watched Nana resulting in a time skip in the last episode in which some characters are gone with no real explanation of their whereabouts. After watching ~20 eps. a day on the edge of my seat through all the drama the ending did not feel all that satisfying. I would still recommend it though.

GTO was amazing in anime and drama form.I believe the manga for Nana was never completed thats why the anime felt weird near the end.

Yuruyuri
Accel World (the story starts to piss me off more and more though)
Kokoro Connect (easily the best show this season! Amazing slice of life romance/drama stuff that actually touches you)
Jinrui wa Suitai Shima****a (although I’m so horribly behind on this show that I don’t really know much about it ^^)
Campione! (It’s crap, but it’s funny. Especially when the main character gets raped by loli Athena)
Otome wa Boku ni Koi****eru: Futari no Elder - The Animation (long title :3 Just 3 OVAs, 2 out so far, and it’s quite … interesting, haha)
Hyouka (Easily the best animated TV series Japan ever produced. Rather calm detective style slice of life stories. With Chitanda!
a collection of Chitanda’s I’M CURIOUS in the first 10 or so episodes xD)
Well, and that’s it already. xD

Code Geass
Death Note
Serial Experiments Lain
Spice and Wolf (you should be interested in romance though)
maybe some more I’m forgetting
Well, other than that it’s your preferences, really.
Mirai Nikki if you’re into chicks that are bat**** insane
Toradora if you like tsundere, and Gosick and and and ^^
etc :P
Code Geass is too dark imo.
Lol! Then you shouldn’t watch Madoka xD That cute magical girl anime is quite a bit darker, imo :P

Anyone watching Sword Art Online? I've been enjoying it so far, though I'm a couple episodes behind the current one right now.
yup, im loving it. The thing that got me hooked was going into it, I didnt read anything about it aside from the fact that it was MMO based. I assumed it would be more like kids in school, playing every night, getting into trouble at school during the day, type anime. When the twist came in the first episode that they couldnt log out, i got so damn excited lol

Anyone watching Gundam AGE currently? It's gotten better after 47 episodes, but still not as good as the previous Gundam 00 in terms of storyline, character development, and mecha designs. I kinda like the intergenerational spin, but it's hard to keep me interested as I think it's aimed more towards younger kids.I have some of the BDs for that but havnt watched any of it as of yet but 00 in my eyes was one of the best gundam series.

Cyber City Oedo 808 was one of my absolute favourites, I really wish they'd made a full series out of it instead of just three episodes. It was a bit like a precursor to GITS:SAC but without all the pseudo-philosophical BS. Mad Bull 34 was good for a laugh and Devilman/Violence Jack was grim and grisly as hell.
Cowboy Bebop and Trigun were about the last things I watched, haven't seen anything decent come out since then. Only exception is Cromartie High School, which came out left field and is probably my favourite TV show period.

Sometime circa y2k, i was graced with my first viewing of Akira, by a half-Japanese friend... soon followed by the GITS movie, and Princess Mononoke, and then some other steam-punk-ish thing i can't remember the name of... and a few others. One of the coolest guys i've ever met.
Since then, it's mostly been [adultswim]... and though i don't often watch tv at all these days, i did religiously attend [adultswim]-mass, for several years, up to about 2-ish years ago.

I've really never been into anime very much but a good friend of mine insisted that I watch a few episodes of bleach and gave it a chance; i loved it and watched like 10 episodes a day until I had seen just about all of them. Really good series imoDid you enjoy the filler?

So ... I already watched a lot of stuff, therefore I'm just going to link my MyAnimeList (http://myanimelist.net/animelist/IllDepence) for anyone who's interested.
I watched 9 of the anime that aired this summer season, with my favourites being: Sword Art Online followed by Oda Nobuna no Yabou and the "third place" being shared by Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita and Tari Tari.
My all time favourite is Elfen Lied. <3 For veryone loving it aswell, I compiled some fanart and stuff on my website: http://tareksaier.bplaced.net/?c=el
Other anime I highly value: Serial Experiments Lain, Chihayafuru, Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica, Death Note, Mawaru Penguindrum, Mononoke Hime, Black★Rock Shooter, Paprika, Dragonball (Z), Bakemonogatari, Soul Eater, ... there are too much ...
My favourite Seiyuu is Kana Hanazawa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URNErQTiwBM#t=58s)
Currently more or less actively watching (aside from those still airing): Hanasaku Iroha, Toaru Majutsu no Index and Shiki
Among others I plan to start watching: Berserk, Katanagatari. Tasogare Otome x Amnesia and Moyashimon.
Concerning the upcoming fall season I'm really excited about Shinsekai yori — previews had some kick ass atmosphere. *_*
Oh well ... so much titles ... let's end this post with something so look at. A lovely Mawaru Penguindrum AMV:

And I think I've managed to hit a burn out point. Tried watching a few series last night and made it no further than 5 minutes into any episode. Think I'm trying to keep up with too many right now.
Post by: sirtetris on Thu, 27 September 2012, 14:16:28
oh wait! Elfen Lied is from '04 ^^ that reduces the gap to 6 years :D
browsing through the rest of my MAL I found Spirited Away ('01) and .hack//Sign ('02) among those I really really liked to fit in the gap
but considering only my favourites you're absolutlely right, there's quite a distance in time between them — interesting ^^

Also watched Death Note after seeing all the recommendations and it was fantastic.
I thought Durarara had a lot of lulz.Yea i was looking at the bd box but they wanted 150$ which for a us boxset is ourageous
If any of u interested in some good anime check out that chart i posted a bit back it may not be the most updated but most everything on there is still solid.

I love the fact that Lain has been brought up so much on this board. It somehow ended up being one of the first anime I ever watched and has been my favorite since. I watched the blu ray version back in May after not seeing the series from start to finish for many years and it was amazing.
I guess I will link my list again as well http://myanimelist.net/animelist/willkillall. If anyone is interested in any series in the completed section of my list let me know and I might be able to give recommendations.

I usually wait until the whole series has aired. i dont know about you guys but i like to marathon.
Think I need to adopt this. Maybe I could actually finish some of the older series I had started, if I stopped trying to keep up with simulcasts/current seasons.

After I ran out of episodes of Joshiraku I decided to start Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko which I ended up finishing half an hour ago. I loved the way the series tied the supernatural theme with school life. Makoto was a pretty awesome main character and the ending was pretty cool so it was worth watching non-stop.
(Also, having watched School Days a few years back, I feel bad for awesome characters with the name Makoto.)

Can't really input much on anime more than anyone above, its been years since I've cared for watching a series versus reading the manga. Although loved the animation styling of Bakemonogatari. Still haven't seen it's sequel, but someday.
Gotta say, out of anything related to all this, manwha is where it's at. Shame that some of the best series aren't animated. Maybe someday, and I'll get back into the anime scene.
yuuppp, the breaker and veritas were some of my favorites
on an anime note, sword art online finished last sunday (unless they are planning a season 2, which i doubt), and it ended way too abruptly. Good anime though, only 25 eps to watch. On to the next, maybe akira?

i have no idea what i was talking about, lol. the last ep was ep 14. I don't know why, but i assumed that was the end. SPOILER AHEAD kirito figures out the leader of the guild is the games creator, and kills him, and basically beats the game. and then the normal credits dont run, so in my mind it was the end. It all happened so quickly, maybe it got canceled midway through? It doesn't seem that way, but I dont see it being anything more than a love story now, lol
It's 2:14 AM and I just finished watching Deadman Wonderland start to finish. If anyone has seen Now and Then, Here and There and really enjoyed (maybe the wrong word to use...) it then I would highly recommend DW.
that anime is finally over? I began reading it when it first came out a couple of years ago(?), and for some reason stopped reading after the 3rd or 4th battle. Guess i'll make DW next on my list.
For current animes, blast of tempest seems promising, as well as magi. Ixion Saga DT may have potential as well.

I finished reading Mirai Nikki a month or two before I found out it was getting an anime. Never ended up watching the show.
And I jump from older to new stuff. I just like keeping up with newer series. Like a second hobby.

And for SAO - the first arc is over, but the show did get picked up for 25 episodes, so we should get more. Episode 15 should be out this week. I'm interested to see where it goes now that we have IRL interactions between characters.
I just started watching a few new shows from the fall season - Blast of Tempest, Magi, Shin Sekai Yori.
Just watched 15 earlier today. I really like where it went with the series, it was getting boring =)
Suguuuuuuu
Can anyone recommend a completed series that was really good in the past 3 years? I've seen pretty much everything before that, but I took a long break and I'm getting the craving again after watching SAO and Accel World...
I'm really into drama, romance, character development, and artwork. Not really into any of that Naruto or Bleach stuff.

You should definitely watch the animated version for Mirai Nikki if you enjoyed the manga. I fell in love with Murasa's VA for Yuno.I spent the day watching all of Mirai Nikki...I am really bad at stopping in the middle of interesting anime when I have the free time for it.

I just tried watching Digimon just for nostalgia's sake.. And my lord it is one terrible terrible show xD
About a month ago I watched and old series called 'Lovely Complex' and I really really liked it. I'm usually a season or two behind though, because I wait for full blu-ray releases before I watch stuff :P

Initial D
Death Note
Full Metal Alchemist
Black Butler
I was really hoping I would like Inital D but their weird use of 3d really turned me off on the anime. I really think the Manga was better.

I recommend School Days *snickers*. My personal favorite, as well as many others, that falls into most if not all of those categories you listed is Clannad and its sequel. I'm not really sure what anime you have watched yet, but if you haven't seen it you owe it to yourself. Some others I recommend is EF, Mashiroiro Symphony, Amagami SS, and Angel Beats.
Post by: Seltox on Sat, 20 October 2012, 13:15:03
I'll also recommend School Days :P It's interesting to say the least. Amagami SS & Angel Beats are also among my favourites (I have the Girls Dead Monster album), and I like some of Ef.. I really really like Chihiro's story in A Tale of Memories. She was awesome.

yea sao and accel world (same mangaka btw) have been my fave this year, from memory, last year "another" really good mystery, before that full metal alchemist brotherhood, a reboot of FMA but better (and follows manga more closely), but i think 60ish eps, another good one was gai-rei-0, might be more, these are the ones i just remember.

Here are a few more that you can check out:
ToraDora
Hanasaku Iroha
Usagi Drop
Ano Natsu de Matteru
Kamisama Dolls
Blue Exorcist
Durarara
Occult Academy
Another - Lanx already recommended, but I'll second it.
I'm glad to see someone else recommend Ga Rei Zero, too. Doesn't seem like I ever find many people that have seen it or have read the manga.

Hyouka was pretty good but the ending the ending!!!I just finished the last ep. and everything went pretty much exactly as I expected from a show like this. One of the reasons why I watched it is because the tags on MAL were mystery/school so I knew what to expect going in.

They're basically mirrors but no NSFW on OCN, and OCN is a bit less active, I guess.
I'm only watching SAO (Basically ALO now) which has its great moments, but other than that, I don't really have anything to keep me connected to anime, and I usually don't have the time.

Was watching Angel Beats! this week, I think Episode 9, and they pan across an unused machine in the infirmary, which clearly has some flavour of HHKB Professional series. They did a fairly good job on keyboards as a whole on the series, not just using the "draw a grid on a box and call it one" shortcut.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/u2BS2.jpg)

Looking at the BD selling numbers, I’m pretty sure they’ll announce the second season soon after the first one ended. :p And they’ve still got 6 books to animate, more going to come.
sao and accel world (same mangaka btw)
LN author*
Fall season is just great. Too great. I watch waaayy too much.
Tonari no Kaibutsu kun, it’s cute, it’s funny. it reminds me of ToraDora,
Shin Sekai Yori, it really is as good as I had hoped for,
Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, SO CUTE,
Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga ****ai, I mean, how can you not love Rika, and the DARK FLAME MASTAH!
Robotics;Notes, **** is about to get real here,
Psycho Pass of course, another great show by butcher Gen,
Ixion Saga DT, so incredibly funny (TAMA TAMA, those who’ve seen it will know what I mean xD)
Girls und Panzer (have you seen the troll subs by commie? HILARIOUS),
Kyousogiga (I love LSD induced madness with probably some deep meaning to it that got lost between the drugs)
Zetsuen no Tempest, really interesting story,
Magi, another Shonen with a decent story,
K, has plot as well,
Code Breaker, STORY, STORY EVERYWHERE!
Can’t really get into Btooom, Kamisama Hajimema****a and Sukitte.

The only Anime I actually watched was Hellsing. I really enjoyed it. What should I try next? I couldn't really say what made me like it as I've not seen anything els....
I would recommend watching the Hellsing Ultimate OVA, it is more on par with the manga and much better than the original Hellsing anime.
Just looked at the post date of this post, my recommendation is a bit late but maybe he checks back periodically!!

Someone recommend me some RECENT completed series within the last year! Can't handle these weekly shows anymore...SAO needs to end and Sekkaiyori needs to end now!
SAO has already gone past the point of no return by venturing into ALO territory (and I will assume there might be a season 3 that slightly even covers GGO which I'd hope not). It ended perfectly fine the way it did. It makes it memorable by making you want more, or at least leaving you satisfied that,
Kirito (Kirigaya) is still alive but both Kirito and Asuna died at the last moment so you know Asuna is alive as well.

Most of my anime time this month has gone to Shoujo rom-coms for a change of pace since I seem to have watched every decent comedy series in existence >_>.
Post by: Lanx on Mon, 26 November 2012, 22:23:37
Wait...is there a Manga?!animated SAO is doing what seems to be the "popular" thing.
1. a light novel is made
2. anime is created from light novel
3. manga is created 4 weeks later
so the manga is actually behind the anime in terms of timeline, but the light novels are (almost) done.

Mirai Nikki (most insane girl ever, Yuno <3)
Hyouka (by far best animated TV series ever, really! Cute characters, quite sophisticated plot and it’s a calm show in general)
Madoka (if you liked the ending of code geass, you’ll most likely love this one too :P)
Angel Beats! (Great animations, too, versatile story + drama)
Dunno if that still counts as recent though, I tend to think “what, it’s not 2010 any more?”
If you think that this video is funny
then watch Nichijou xD (Best absurd comedy ever)
Madoka and Nichijou were 2011’s best anime, imo. Hyouka is a strong candidate for this year, but there’s so much awesome this fall season …
Where can I read the light novels? =)
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/
Your source for fan translations.
The SAO light novels are way better than the anime, IMO. At least the SAO part. The ALO part sucks anyway. xD
I really hope for a second season, because Gungale Online rocks. Sinon rocks. Kirito as a trap with sword between big guys with big guns rocks. xD

I finally finished Sword Art Online. I thought it was pretty cool, it's always nice to see a main character doing whatever has to be done to achieve something.
Except that the fairy sequel was quite horrible IMO. Too draggy, not much of getting to the point, and that rape scene at the end wasn't necessary at all. It should've just ended with kirito walking out of the hospital during SAO.

I mostly like mecha, but really dig the whole One Piece/Naruto/DBZ/Bleach trope of "weak, train, get stronger, fight progressively harder enemies", like a video game. I'd like to write a novel to match that trope some day! (I much prefer that trope in manga as its quicker to digest)

Yeah I've started Bakemonogatari a few times now but I just can't get past the first episode, not sure what it is just having a hard time wanting to watch it.
On the 18th episode of Ghost Hunt and I am really enjoying it, someone told me it was a bit too corny for them but I have really enjoyed watching it

This weekend I have been watching pretty much nothing but various yuri series. I finished Candy Boy yesterday and spent most of today watching Sasameki Koto from beginning to end. Next up is Kashimashi to keep the theme going over the weekend. I am going to be sad when I run out of series in the Shoujo Ai genre since I find the relationships that happen much more interesting than what occurs in most anime nowadays.

Also if you like this anime i know of at least 2 other that are very good and in the same style artwork included. Which BTW i think the art work is great.
O i know you were looking for movies there have been a bunch that have come out but i havnt watch many as i dont watch me movies along i tend to watch them with friends because its easier. But watch Summer Wars even the Dub is great. I was moved to the tears. On a side note I may be a sucker.

Post by: TheGreatAmphibianPling on Mon, 28 January 2013, 23:39:16
Ghost In The Shell (the series - pretty good)
Planetes (good)
Black Lagoon (also good & sort of like Planetes evil twin)
Evangelion (watched in a state of "wtf?" and "How can something so weird be so uninteresting?")
Hellsing OVA (definitely wtf but in an interesting way)
Legend Of The Galactic Heroes (watched first episode in bemusement at a plot based on everyone being an idiot but the hero, then collapsed in laughter at the waggling-ass end credits.)
Marine Boy (first anime imported to the West, saw as a kid, kicks ass for under 10s)
Films:
Porco Rosso (excellent)
Spirited Away (bored me)
Laputa (good)
Howl's Moving Castle (good)
Two western shows I'd count as anime because of style:

So I'm trying to figure out if I need to watch Fullmetal Alchemist before I watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The general consensus seems to be that Brotherhood is much better than the original and stays closer to the manga but will I be missing out on things if I skip out on the first installment?
If you have time, watch the original then brotherhood. But as for someone who has watched both and read the manga...brotherhood is so much better.
But the story is quite different in the first version of the anime, so it's worth the watch.

fma original dragged on, was kinda boring in a few episodes, and went like, wth? um ok
fma brotherhood, just got it right.
fma brotherhood is special, out of the 300animes i've watch it ranks as top 25 (i would say top 10, but i like to be conservative and just lean towards top10)
is it still on hulu? it was awesome when hulu was releasing new episodes the next day.

yea most anime have fillers, that automatically drops 2 rating stars for me, i don't have 22minutes to waste on trash episodes. That's why i'm so in love with great animes like sword art online. Arguably when i saw the first episode i thought it was going to be fillerific, it had the makings of being cast full of fillers, nope, not a single episode was filler, i would say last episode dragged a bit, but completely forgivable.
what do you mean no filler... that whole "second" game which was a clone of the first was "Filler".

Not 100% sure but the second game was in the light novel also, and the novels are still going on with them playing more different gamesyea most anime have fillers, that automatically drops 2 rating stars for me, i don't have 22minutes to waste on trash episodes.

Just because it was in the original novel, doesn't mean it's not filler... He totally ran out of ideas, so he wrote the SAME damn story where the protagonist is "recognized" for being awesome, ALL OVER AGAIN...... That is filler....
Just like how naruto keeps getting "extensions" to his existing moves that do VERY little improvement and takes 20 episodes to develop.
Post by: tsangan on Sun, 10 February 2013, 04:23:08
On the other hand for SAO they cut out a lot of stuff in the novel and sped up the entire story, but the author did write more novels then what the anime has covered so far, and who knows maybe all those games as him being a protagonist leads to something. So no I wouldn't count that as filler.
Fillers are annoying but filler arcs are the worst

elf world isn't filler, like previous said, it's part of the manga, and no it wasn't run out of ideas, anyone who has played video games can recognize the significance of the worlds, before it was a levell grind, then it becomes skill aquiring. filler is defined when the anime series makes up whatever the hell they want, because the manga is moving too slow or not fast enough for them to create a episodes, usually it's a 3 or 6 episode "side story" or a flashback to a younger time, or focusing a 3 episode arc on a terciary character. that is filler, and filler is crap, because it's just there to take up air time, even if it was good filler, which is very rare, it's ignore the second the manga has caught up to speed.

It doesn't even use the CPU all the much...

system = gpu and yes even the cpu at least a bit with my settings. Because unless your using some of the few gpu upscalers the cpu is doing the upscaling. Also i use lav filers and decode the video using my gpu as well. I only use nvidia cards because of cuda which can be utilized when i encode as well. You need a nvidia card with a minimum of 48 cores (GT 240, GT 420, GT 610) I really recommend going up to a card with at least 96 cores (GT 430, GT 620/630). To use all the settings that I use you need Win8 and a Kepler based GPU so miminally your looking at a (GT 640, GT 650).Question about Mad VR..make sure you have the most updated madvr for one and I dont use the recommended filters Ill post the setting i use a bit later though their of bit stressfull on the system so be aware.

I minimize the GPU's involvement if i can.. dxva is finicky every time they release new drivers etc. Always used CPU in LAV video filter.
And it's not like Lav dxva makes a difference.. save maybe 3% cpu @ 1.6ghz, my chip doesn't even throttle to 5ghz for full bluray iso playback unless it's 1080/50i or 1080/60i, and even then it hovers at 20% load. >:D
My only exception to gpu use is madvr, because the other scalers don't do that 16bit dithering thing.

if it looks like it's for 10year olds, we skip
if it's too sci fi we skip(i'll check out a few more by myself and see if it's worth it for her to watch, she loathes sci fi anime)
if it looks like it's just made for fan service, we skip
so far nothing seems to be good this season (but releases have been getting to hulu slower lately)

plus filler is just there, the wife watches ALOT of korean drama on hulu, i'll be on the computer, i sorta know what's happening, and with korean dramas it's usually like this
if it is a 16eps series
1-3 will be introduction
4-8 will be main plot
9-10 willl be the high point
11-13 (maybe even 14) will be pure garbage, maybe even filler or just all characters will be at a standstill/impass
15-16 series wrap up
i have skimmed through at least 30k-drama's this way and the forumla is the same, which isn't to say most anime isn't like that either, but usually anime filler is for the long eps series
bleach
naruto
one piece
(i didn't even know bleach ended almost a year ago, lol, i kept wondering why hulu didn't update the series for months...)

well I say dithering because that's its only real advantage over other scalars..
because of its dithering algorithm it can "supposedly" preserve detail that would be otherwise lost..
Other scalars "scale" just as well.. but lose detail due to less precise approximations.
The argument of what path they take to achieve scaling is irrelevant...

On the other hand for SAO they cut out a lot of stuff in the novel and sped up the entire story, but the author did write more novels then what the anime has covered so far, and who knows maybe all those games as him being a protagonist leads to something.
Alicization leads directly to Accel World.
The ALO arc is no filler, it just sucks. Gungale Online is much better, and Mother’s Rosario is great.

If something sucks, it's filler, they shouldn't have bothered putting it in the anime. Only keep the good stuff.
And if you don't have enough to make 26 episodes, or even 13 episodes, DON'T... just stop... why waste your money making crap that is obviously crap...
Keep the good, and stop there.
I could care less if there is an ending, as long as the last episode isn't total sheeeeet which in anime, is almost ALL THE TIME.

Maybe you with your feeble mind can't skip it... I just fill in the blank with my own imagination... like back when I had to read books because anime cost money. HAHAHAHAH

I forgot to mention Kara no Kyōkai in my last post, but anyway I wanted to mention Chihayafuru. At first I thought it was lame, but Chihaya is one of my favorite characters in any anime. She's soooo relatable and there aren't too many good Josei or very many Josei to begin with.Chihayafuru was pretty cool. It is the only "sport" anime that I have watched besides Saki (led to me learning how to play riichi mah jong). I will be starting the second season once it is done airing.
Although there are not many Josei series, I have enjoyed pretty much any anime that I picked up in the category: Nana, Sakamichi no Apollon, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Usagi Drop, Paradise Kiss, Kuragehime, Chihayafuru (I would add Nodame Cantabile but I have only seen it in drama form). I wish there were more though.
I am running out of romance/drama series to watch T_T. I finished Peach Girl over the weekend and I don't know what I will start next on that front...possibly True Tears or ef.

Thank You for the list! I'm going to check some of them out. Hikaru no Go (unfinished) is probably the only other "sport" anime I've watched, but I really enjoy playing Go making this an obvious choice for me :)

Ending sucked.... basically it's like, oh yea, that kid is freaking stupid, he should've just let sai play, cuz he will never be as good.

Any steins gate fans here?
That anime probably gets first place, right next to neon genesis evangelion on my list. :)

I really don't like Full Metal.. it's so stupid... no one with that kind of power would use it like that.
:mad:
To each his own I guess. I never felt it was stupid tbh, and I feel that way about a lot of shounen anime.

My cousin suggested to me "Papa no Iukoto wo Kikinasai!"
You know how there's that creepy guy in your family you shouldn't leave alone with the kids....
Now you have a sure way to detect them.... buy them the bluray set... and watch their reaction carefully while feigning interest...
Booom.... Pedo detected......
I feel like Japan is creating an "entire" generation of Pedo-s on PURPOSE.... it's not even remotely suggestive' ...
The anime crowd should be really careful because this "trend" seeps into EVERYTHING, not limited to it's own genre// fans// pseudo pedos// REAL pedos..

Since I'm a little into go, should I watch the anime?

Bro, You can't be " a little " into go.. not today
Go is already at a staggeringly high level... it's completely impossible to catch up to the pros unless you start playing at age 2-3 like the rest of um'
The anime has very little to do with Go itself..
it's more a drama.. so if you like drama, with a "go" motif, watch it...
but if you want to do "go" just give up...
Post by: Lanx on Thu, 28 March 2013, 04:27:58
now this is coming from someone whose watched hikaru no go, once a year since it came out.
i mean wife and i even bought a basic go board, played a few games, blah! and we're gamers too!, especially board/card games when we play other ppl we can't be on the same team!
so yes if you're a "little" into go , watch it, you'll actually pick up some tips, also go watch the teaching go at the end every episode too, as far as i remember you can still catch all 75 episodes on hulu.

Oh, and don't go by international rankings, that's all allota political BS.... same with Chess rankings... they're like rigged boxing matches..

I took it like those "top international players" constantly lose to the chinese... no?
um... it doesn't really work like that.. because they get down to playing specific scenarios...
Which, changes the game in many ways... So, they use what information they do get through the games to gauge eachother..
My point was simply that as individuals,, we're hopeless against the go-army
Let's say you send your greatest guy to a competition, and he has a good chance to win... and in this case, he must be indeed super good....
EVEN if the chinese go army only has 1 guy to match this guy... they have 1000s of other guys who are better than your number 2 guy...
and when it's #1 vs #2 guy,, there's still a great chance the #2 guy could win....
So, if china was to commit to playing on the circuit... lol, you see the problem here..

I think the main problem with anime TODAY, is that they have the "old" people who watch anime, the "young" people who watch anime, AND the "horny" people who watch anime..I dont think thats the case really as they definitely target the anime now days 100% you should be able to tell withing a couple eps if and anime is for you especially since the standard is now a half season 12-13eps so all the characters are introduced sooner. For a full season it used to take around 5 eps for all the characters to show up.

It's hard to even pay attention to Naruto and Bleach, they are so annoying to watch and read now a days. They go on and on about a bunch bologne all the time, and always seem to be able to summon up some super mega atomic blast radius chi laser beam summoned from some corny part of their soul, and they'll spend 10 episodes talking about how they're going to do so.
I like:
Cowboy Bebop - The English version is very well dubbed.
One Piece - Corny and over the top, but it's humorous and meant to be that way.
Moribito - Very good fight scenes. Closer to realistic. An Anime that gives you lots to think about and reflect on as well.
The manga "I am a Hero" is a great one that deals with Zombies, but in a realistic way in regards to modern Japanese culture.

I agree with most of what you have said here as I feel like I have grown out of anime as well. But I do still watch a few of them and continue to follow some series I read since middle school just because I want to see it to the end. I think Naruto isn't that bad but they start feel like dragon ball z these days with all these battles. Bleach I just feel like it is horrible recycled plot anime that I just don't feel like it is worth my attention anymore despite me following it for almost 10 years.
One manga series I find really entertaining is one punch man since it is funny and no real plot so I don't feel dedicated to it. A lot of series these days feel kind of shallow compared to old series I have followed. But it might just be that I have seen so much already that I can easily predict most of the stuff and isn't surprised when some of the plot twists are revealed.

anything good recently?
Haven't really followed anything good recently but if you want a few decent manga series I would recommend D.gray man and Claymore but the quality of D.Gray man feels lower than the past now as I think the author took too long of a break that they lost their original idea of the storyline. That is just how I see it as since after a long year break the series doesn't feel the same anymore and the plot is just ugh. But the beginning I think is really good and enjoyable. Claymore has a interesting storyline and I still like reading it, the only thing I don't like is the waiting since it comes out every month.
Another decent manga series I must say is Deadman Wonderland though it might be a bit too gory for you if you don't like gore. The plot is quite interesting but parts are predictable but it is a fun series.
I haven't really watched anything good recently but I know a lot of my friends that are still in the anime scene like Sword Art Online, Magi the labyrinth, Magi Puella and One Piece. One anime I really like that isn't really new but require you to know stuff about other anime is Gintama, it is basically a series that parodies other series so I find it quite amusing.
I hope this was helpful!

Full Metal Alchemist
DragonBall Z
Moblie Suit Gundam (UC line): 0079, 08th MS Team, War in Pocket, Stardust Memory, Zeta, Unicorn, F91
Mobile Suit Gundam (Non-UC): SEED, SEED Destiny, SEED Stargazer, Wing, Endless Waltz, 00, Awakening of the Trailblazer
andd.... I'm all caught up on my Pokemon Seasons (Currently on 16th season) + Movies (15 of them, I think).
Currently working on Attack on Titan and Gundam ZZ.
I kinda like Gundam... A little bit... I strongly recommend Gundam 08th MS Team and War in Pocket as they have my favorite story-line. No *****y kids in them either. About six episodes each.
Gundam Unicorn will just blow your mind. Six of the seven 1-hour long episodes are out.

I feel gundam doesn't really need to be watched in order, because they use the same plot and arc each time... so it's all about revealing new gundams and some crazy talk about crazy research being done..
And I just fast forward through all the character development because i feel like humans are the extras in gundam shows, they're there but they're not really there...

In some sense, yeah, that is true.
But to fully comprehend what's going on, like in Unicorn, you would probably want to watch at least from Zeta onwards (or just read a summary of it).
But if you just like the aciton-ness of it, Unicorn is awesome to watch. The soundtracks to it is also incredible.

you can skip zz, it's so... ugh it's trash, even the director considers zz to be non-canon so just skip ahead to char's counterattack, which concludes the best rivalry between char and amuro.
i mean i get sad and disgusted everytime i see a new gundam with a blond guy and a mask, and that character just... sucks. but char and amuro just tops, not because they were the first, but all the ones coming after just can't compare.
especially with all these new emo pilots, ugh.

for UC, where's char's counterattack? you're watching the unwatchable gundamzz but no char?
Trying to watch them in order, so after Gundam ZZ is Char's. I couldn't help myself with Unicorn, so I had to do it; and I watched F91 on a flight.
you can skip zz, it's so... ugh it's trash, even the director considers zz to be non-canon so just skip ahead to char's counterattack, which concludes the best rivalry between char and amuro.

Word, thanks for the heads up. Might just read up on it and call it good.
I was quite annoyed with the emo-ness of 00, but procrastination helped me watch through it. The movie was just god awful though.

I hate most anime but I watched Highschool of the Dead after much coercion this morning and actually enjoyed it. No stupid nonsensical emotional plots, no fluffer episodes that accomplish absolutely nothing, no drawn out pacing, no whiny emo pretty boy who hates his privileged life and wont shut up about his feelings. Just some good 'ol ultraviolence and T&A in a 12 episode package.
If you think about it, ALL of entertainment is just Beautiful people doing ordinary things that ordinary people do..
Ordinary people have all the same problems, we just don't watching them sort it out, because they're bat **** ugly.

I dislike this anime...
Is that really the best way to fighter titans..
I mean... it's pretty retarded to spiderman all over the place, If they have these precision spears that seems to have immense range,, they might as well just make MORE projectile weaponry..
It really makes no sense...
>:D >:D >:D
Honestly if you look at it, , Their method for fighting the titans, is the very reason why they suck and have to live in the damn wall...
I would've kill all the damn things..
Tripping the Titans would be devastating due to gravity fall damage at their size..
They totall threw out the physics to make this action anime...

I have to agree with you on that their fighting style is not the most effective or efficient method. Also they did throw out physics but the genre of anime is fantasy I would say so. One would have to understand that reality is nonexistent.
What I don't understand is with their precision spears couldn't they just use those to pierce the "kill zone" of the Titans?
In defense of the anime though, Tripping Titans would not have an effect because they have regenerative abilities unless their spine is severed right around the neck. ( not saying it makes sense just stating how they "disprove" that scenario.

Part 1/4 just got released in Japan last week. It is titled 'Borders 1: Ghost Pain'. I watched a 1080p rip of it and really enjoyed it. Granted i may be biased since Ghost in the Shell has been an obsession of mine since i was little reading the mangas.
Either way new Ghost in the Shell is some of the best news I have heard all year. Plus there are 3 new parts coming to complete the Arise series. Story arc is different than the manga and even the show (SAC) but I dont care.
The major hacking people in the middle of a fight? yes please.

My favorite way to watch: Japanese audio with English Subtitles. The english actors totally destroy this stuff. That's why I'm recommending the disks from Netflix if you can get them. A very difficult find, seriously - I don't think you can buy in the US but an Asian friend might have been a friend and have a copy.
SERIOUSLY: the BEST character you've ever seen is the little old man. Hilarious!!! Can't believe he was collecting what he was collecting on network TV! Might be difficult to start, but believe me this series has LEGS. LOL.

I saw one year ago more or less:
- Desert Punk (hilarious, however I got kinda disappointed with the end)
- Tokyo underground
- Death note (the plot has one good starting point but it gets cold at the end)
- Hellsing (weak, kinda "hack and slash" with vampires - I didn't liked it)
- Blood+ (more vampires, not bad but totally predictable)
- Alive (ahh, not an anime but it's pretty cool)
- The Yamato Movie (2012?)

The manga was on hiatus since sometime in 2011, but I think it just got some traction again. Now, we can only hope they start working on a second season of the anime since they're going to start getting the material again from the manga.

Anybody else really enjoying Servant x Service? Idk why but once Gargantia was over I switched over to that. I'm really enjoying it thus far.
I downloaded the first episode since I saw it seemed kinda popular on /a/ but haven't watched it yet. Gargantia I started and got to like ep 4 before I put it on hold. It looked really nice but I found the MC girl(amy?) kinda annoying. I'm sure I'll pick it up again eventually.

This. Also I’d like to add Kiniro Mosaic. It’s basically the best show ever made right next to Yuru Yuri if you’re both into cute girls doing cute things and Yuri.
Kiniro Mosaic, Stella Jogakuin Koutouka C3-bu, Teekyuu 2, Uchouten Kazoku, Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi, Gen'ei o Kakeru Taiyo, WataMote, my favorites this season.
Anybody else really enjoying Servant x Service?
Yup. Pretty enjoyable, although I don’t think it’s even in my top10 this season. I really like this season. I’ll probably watch next to nothing this fall though, nothing particularly interesting announced there. I’m still hoping for Mahouka, but it seems it will come this winter, not fall…

I never read or watched either so take what I say with a grain of salt. It's just what I heard from others who had been a fan of the series before. I'm sure if you googled you could find other people's opinions. Also maybe since you picked up where it left off you didn't see the differences in the anime adaptation and the manga. There could have been majors changes.

(Other than Priscilla who seemed near omnipotent). What was going to happen to Clare, Myria and the rest? So many unanswered questions, so I turned to the manga.....

Basically all the characters started to approach DBZ (non-gt) power levels.
when that happens, it's hard to make the story compelling.. your characters are basically all SSJ or Pre-SSJ (K. oh. ken x 10) or so
That's near invincibility.
And for the discerning viewers, without weakness there can be no drama.

I'm watching Watamote and C3Bu, both seem good so far.
This. Also I’d like to add Kiniro Mosaic. It’s basically the best show ever made right next to Yuru Yuri if you’re both into cute girls doing cute things and Yuri.
Just started watching this. Really entertaining show.

First anime I ever bought on disc, still one of my all-time favorites.
Been watching Witchblade lately, and Eden of the East. Haven't found a series I follow regularly since High School of the Dead.

LOL, how pissed were you when they did a remastered dvd release,
AND THEN later released a BLURAY set of the same stuff.
If I bought the orginal remaster box, I'd be so peeved.

Storyline has been played out for the past century... It's all down to presentation now... For example, all the marvel movies, it's the same stories, only now they're awesome because of the good CGI..

I haven’t seen many animes as … BAD as Symphogear. And I too haven’t seen many animes as entertaining as it. It’s so dumb, but at the same time so incredibly addictive. It’s one of the most entertaining anime I’ve ever watched, and I’ve watched a lot, lol.
Zetsuen no Tempest (Oh god, this has got to be one of the candidates for anime of the year 2013)
Nah, never. Not in the year of kill la kill. Or gatchaman crowds, uchouten kazoku, whatever your taste is.
Zetsuen no Tempest is actually 2012, by the way.

WHiCH anime Blurays are worth getting.
I know certain companies will take a lot of time and change the scenes in blu ray releases. Shaft is known for doing this, thought sometimes it leads to some things being inconsistent (like clothing or a necklace). The backgrounds end up looking much more detailed.

Well, It is one of the strong candidate for 2013, it did started at Oct of 2012, but it's second half ended in March 2013, so is still a legitimate candidate.
As for Kill la Kill, that is one of the anime that I strongly anticipated, especially since they're by GAINAX :thumb: :thumb:
Zetsuen no Tempest seemed to drop off about half way through, to me. Until now, I've forgot that I haven't even finished it -- still have two episodes left, I think.LOL... I finish it in 2 days... the story is very addictive and if I drag the series, I doubt I will finish it....

Starting date is what matters, you pleb. :P
Still would be no strong candidate, not with that much Gatchaman, Uchouten or even Fate/Kaleid swag around. (Have you seen episode 6? Glorious!) My opinion. :P
Anyone else here having backed LWA2?

well, not so sure about Gatchaman Crowds, the animation is kind of stiff, the character designs are unique though, i like that :thumb:

There's also accel world which I think is by the same writer(or something along those lines) and people speculate it may have a connection to SAO.

Blassreiter was back in 2008, but the quality is just too goddamn awesome, and for GONZO, the story is just way too good for them to make it, well, main reason is because the mastermind behind the story is the same person who make the stories of Fate/Zero, Madoka Magica, Suisei no Gargantia and Psycho-Pass XDmost of what you listed, i've watched and they're :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:hmm I'll have to look that one up, it might be hiding in the backlogs (too many TB's) of anime

Neon Genesis Evangelion
Angel Beats
Darker Than Black season 1 and 2
I didn't really like Evangelion... Darker Than Black was awesome though.
I watched Steins;Gate, Code Geass and Cowboy Bebop recently too and I loved all of them.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood would have to be my favorite though.
Any suggestions?
Post by: Xenderwind on Thu, 05 September 2013, 20:24:27
In the last week I've watched these:Did you watch all of eva? There is the original tv series, then the end of evangelion which redoes the ending of the last two(i think two) episodes. I think when the original series was completed the director was depressed and they were also out of budget. Then there is the rebuild series. 1.0 is essential a recap oft he first 8 or so episodes(unsure on exact number) and then from there on it is a different story (2.0 and 3.0 currently, 4.0 coming out next year I believe).

Mirai nikki is one I always recommend
summer wars- a short movie that is one of my favorites
FLCL- because I watched it when I was young and it will always be one of my favorites
madoka magicka
gurren lagann- dont watch this if you don't like over-the-top anime though.
the monogatari series
katanagatari
fate zero was really good, but its the prequel to fate stay night which wasnt very well done. I recommend the visual novel for that.
yahari ore no seishun love come wa machigatteiru
the index/railgun series
pretty much anything studio ghibli

I have The End of Evangelion but I haven't watched it yet, I'll probably do that now... I'll have to get the rebuild series and watch them too I think.
I'll also pick up Mirai Nikki next
Thanks for the suggestions.

I liked it very much, it was really well done. I didn't read the manga though, so I have no way of knowing which was better. Also, the first opening and ending are amazing, just thought I'd mention that.

So I watched The End of Evangelion and I must say I enjoyed it a lot more that the original ending.
lol EoE is the "true" ending to the original anime run (they ran out of budget and that's why 25/26 are what they are).
Although, Evangelion never actually ends.
Literally every 5 minutes I think of Evangelion and just randomly get really sad.
Post by: rurushu on Sat, 07 September 2013, 12:45:11
if not mistaken, the novel is around six months after the last episode of the anime.... which you will be highly unlikely to understand if you do not watch the movies.... :D

After getting my head around the various names and releases of the Rebuild of Evangelion series I watched 1.11 and 2.22. Really enjoyed them! I'll probably wait for Funimation to release of 3.33 before I watch it, or whatever Madman decided to call it in Australia, since I don't really like watching things with subtitles.When I first started I only watched dubbed but I've switched to pretty much only subs.
1 and 2 were fantastic though :)
There are some anime that I like dubbed though:
FLCL
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Champloo
somewhat gurren lagann (I love kamina's english VA)
but a lot of those may also be because that is how I watched them first, since they aired on toonami when I was younger.

Just finished the first and second seasons of Gundam 00. It reminded me of code geass at times, but code geass was def better. Started Eden of the East yesterday.
The Gundam story line is rehashed every single time there's a new series...
There's really nothing they can do about it...
Gundam story arc relies on the fact that the technology outpaces most individual human's capacity to appropriate.
Thus, leading to a power struggle...
If you look at it logically, There is no way humanity would've been capable of developing such advanced technology without first overcoming the social problems inherent in the typical story arc...
The resources and converging research that would be required to produce advanced humanoid mecha would require several life times worth of uninterrupted work, something that does not occur in the typical Gundam plot...

They kind of explain the research you were talking about in developing the gundams in this one. Not saying it sounds possible, but this is anime we're talking about.
Well that's just it though, their tech springs out of no where with 1 SUPER SMART GUY that somehow made it all up AND carried it out by himself...
They rely on super human plot devices.. Which I've come to detest...
But you're right, it's anime.
I still found it enjoyable though so I can't complain.
I totally enjoyed it as well..
Still debating whether I should get the 00 perfect grade

Anyone watching Kill la Kill? It has far surpassed my expectations, but I still think the main character's "outfit" is dumb.

It's very interesting. I don't really like it or hate it, but yet I want to keep watching.

I need a good anime to watch :( Something ongoing or lengthy, probably 100+ episodes. I hate to admit this, but I'm a fan of the fantasy/romance genre. Any suggestions?
Yes..
Could someone with Updated Anime knowledge recommend some "new stuff"..
Super Thanks (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/015.gif)

It is the most ridiculously sad story I've seen in a long time, that also happens to be highly rated. The manga creators and their animators have really gone out of their way to ensure that no ending is not miserable and unfair and leaves a sense of loss and disillusionment and all that.
If you wonder why I endured to watch all 13 episodes, well that is a testament to the quality of the work. Very, very well animated and the author really knows how to grab people's emotions. I watched it all in one session and couldn't stop! But if you haven't started, don't waste your time on it. There is no happy ending.
Anyone else seen stuff by Makoto Shinkai? I just caught The Garden of Words. Animation was beautiful but the story was kinda meh.I know 5cm per second is supposed to be really good, but I haven't gotten around to watching it. I'm pretty sure its a sad one so I've been putting it on hold.
Definitely going to check out his other stuff.

Yes, and I haven't watched it yet. One reason I'm rewatching... I have AO sitting here, but I thought I should re-watch with subs (currently at ep33) and then jump right into AO, assuming I don't get distracted by finishing up Ben-To or Monogatari 3... and after this page, I added Suisei no Gargantia to the list.

Anyone watching Mahouka? While I don't think it will become a super must see anime, it's good enough to have fun watching it so far.
I JUST FINISHED HITSUGI NO CHAIKA SEASON 1 YESTERDAY AND MY MIND IS SO FULL OF **** AND ****Haven't watched anything from spring season yet besides the first ep of NGNL last night. I assumed it was just going to be some mediocre harem anime and was reluctant to start it. It surprised me since the myanimelist rating jumped from like a 7.5 to an 8+ after 4 ep's or so. But i plan on trying mahouka, chaika, knights of sidonia, mekakucity actors, and black bullet.
Also Initial D translations needs to finish so I can put an end to x amount of years of my life.
Really excited for summer though. Akame ga kill, aldnoah zero (especially cause of the great staff and that kalafina music), zankyou no terror, and maybe tokyo ghoul.
And after seeing the Satsuki nendoroid today...I might have to get my first figurine.

I just finished Mekakucity actors and it wasn't half bad; very vague and had a lot of gaps in storytelling though
Fking mahouka though... wdf is this anime and why am I still watching it lol

As for mekaku I believe it was originally based off vocaloid songs so I really don't expect a great story. I juts really liked the songs they're based off of and I usually like Shaft's works. Though I heard people didn't like mekaku as much but that might also be because Shaft was trying to do too many shows at once (hanamonogatari+nisekoi+mekaku).
Oh and for mahouka honestly the main reason I want to try it is because of how many people are in it from oreimo.

It has a concrete story, but apparently it needs the combined knowledge of all the previous forms of media for the series (manga , LN, MVs) in order to make any sense of the true plot
And as for satsuki's ass, I was kidding
The nendo needs larger eyebrows though
Mahouka is like one of those guilty pleasure animes now.
The pacing is piss-poor, each episode is another 'adventure into oni-sama's room', and we will get excommunicated if we don't bow down and praise our lord and saviour, Tatsuya--yet the animation and concept could have made it turn out completely different

Recent animes (fall 2013 -summer 2014) that I'd recommend:
- Attack on Titan (a bit overhyped, but it's honestly great)
- No game No life (there needs to be a season 2; very deserving of being mentioned for anime of the season, alongside ping pong)
- Knights of Sidonia (I haven't watched it, but I've heard if you can get used to the cgi, it's quite the total package)
Random anime that I'd recommend in no order whatsoever:
- code geass

- psycho-pass
- fate/zero
- kokoro connect
- neon genesis evangelion + End of evangelion + Rebuild
- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

any good finished animes you'd rec so far into June?Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/hi-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862508)
Finished as in story complete or finished as in done for the season?
Recent animes (fall 2013 -summer 2014) that I'd recommend:
- Attack on Titan (a bit overhyped, but it's honestly great)
- No game No life (there needs to be a season 2; very deserving of being mentioned for anime of the season, alongside ping pong)
- Knights of Sidonia (I haven't watched it, but I've heard if you can get used to the cgi, it's quite the total package)
Random anime that I'd recommend in no order whatsoever:
- code geass
- mahou shoujo madoka magica
- psycho-pass
- fate/zero
- kokoro connect
- neon genesis evangelion + End of evangelion + Rebuild
- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
- Durarara!!
haha... finished as in I can DL the whole thing..Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/steal-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862521)
Then yeah those titles should be good.
There's also Kill La Kill that I'd love to recommend to you, but I'm not sure if someone your age with a kid should be watching it. (fk ton of skin)

Seen all these except knights of sidonia, NGNL (on ep 6 i think), psychopass, and kokoro connect. Would back up the recommendation of anything on that list. Kill la kill is amazing if you can get past the fan service. I honestly didn't even notice it that much while watching it. I was just hyped week after week watching it together with friends. Also F/Z is the prequel to fate stay night which I've heard has a terrible anime adaptation compared to the VN. I would wait to see how the FSN 2014 turns out (done by the people who made F/Z) and watch that before F/Z.Slice of life isn't 'gay' per se
And do they actually jerk it on screen like shinji?

Though I still might try out mahouka. I'm pretty sure my friend liked the manga, or at least what he read of it.

I'm guilty of overrating stuff. Both because I don't look at anime critically but I also kind of think of it like 7 is watchable but nothing special, 8 was worth the watch(for me), 9 great, and 10 i ****ing loved it. Also I think I usually round up my vote since you can't do .5's. I'm sure there's a few ratings I should change if I went and looked back at what I scored stuff but I'm kind of lazy :S.

I don't actually know...I really haven't checked other people's MAL before. But seems like a fairly high number compared to the 53% i got from stache's.
Also you need to watch Nekomonogatari before 2nd season...good luck with that. I hate Tsubasa so Neko+the first 4 ep or so of 2nd season took me forever. Ayase's VA also sees more screentime in 2nd season than she did in nise and I grew to like her character.

Behind compared to the LN of course. But the manga is still way further than the anime went, at least for railgun it stops at ch 40. But I'm simple minded and need pictures to keep my attention :-[. I just preferred the characters more in railgun. I hated index (the girl) and touma didn't seem like anything special to me either.The Manga is behind and not really all that different. the light novel are way ahead.

I actually didnt even know accelerator had his own spinoff. I liked him but what made him more enjoyable was last order. I heard his early stuff gets really dark, including cannibalism and other stuff.

I like to search anime and keep track of what I planned on trying or not. I tend to not recognize some of the names and forget I already have it on my list. Also I really like to see who the voice actors are. It actually bothers me when I recognize a voice but can't remember who else they played.Is this tuning into the "post your MyAnimeList link" topic?This is what I do. no time for MAL
I don't have time for that!
Instead I keep a well-curated and annotated notepad file of everything I've watched, if I liked it, stuff in my ever-growing "to watch" queue and what's in my even-faster-growing "to get" queue.
and you guys are overflowing my "to-get" queue!
I even set up my chrome so all I type is "a [space]" then start typing what I want to search on MAL. I guess realistically it only saves like 1 click from googling though.

they make this stuff too fast.... jesus.. how do the japanese people watch it all.. they must got anime coming out of their ears...
no wonder they're obsessed with portable devices... it's the only way they can finish watching their damn queue...
Post by: dorkvader on Thu, 03 July 2014, 21:42:29
I always end up just watching, and if I don't like it then I don't finish it. But I usually use it as something to do when I'm sharpening the knives, or desoldering keyboards or what-have you.
That way, I don't "lose" any time on it.

Still enjoyed it though. Had a lot of my favorite VA in it and I liked the music.
I guess next I should finish toradora...i stopped like 2/3rds of the way through.

Just finished no game no life....waaaaaaaaay more fanservice than I was expecting. Though I was told it wasnt that fanservicey from a guy who loves DxD and reads even ecchier stuff so I should have known better.

Lol aren't you used to fanservice by now after watching KLK?
I thought it was tastefully done LOL
And yes, finish that shiet

I cringed at parts of KLK for the fanservice. But I also knew once I started it what to expect. I wasnt expecting much in NGNL. Then there were tentacle raping shampoo bottles and whole scenes dedicated to removing nipples, private parts, and women's clothing...just to show their bodies
Not saying I haven't watched ecchi stuff in my past. I just feel my tastes have changed and wasn't too fond of it in NGNL.
Post by: CK Briefs on Fri, 04 July 2014, 01:51:08
Oh and I watched the first ep of two new shows:
Tokyo Ghoul and Glasslip
Check them out ^^
Ghoul had an AMAZING first ep, and glasslip was a bit slow but it's so pretty

I liked it.
I haven't seen NGNL yet, though hearthstone streamer TrumpSC said he liked it and in his opinion, the fanservice was satirical, which I find to be very interesting.
I'm currently working through Kill La Kill and I just have to take a break from the fanservice after episodes.

I only want to watch the anime for very specific scenes that I enjoyed while reading. Otherwise I hate re-experiencing things whether it be playing, reading or watching. The Manga art work so much better too, it's what got me into it in the first place (a very specific panel that I presume to be the ending scene for the first episode)rofl here is my time to be hipster (has been reading toukyou kushu since it was first translated)

Ah that makes sense.
I'm kind of the total opposite :P I need to see how it's adapted onto the screen and confirm the hype.

Did anyone else watch Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (from 2009)?I watched it a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I wish there were more series like that about disasters/survival in general, as they are a nice break from the slice of life, comedy and drama series that I usually cycle through.
I liked it.
Also, to clear up the Taiga thing a few posts above, it is a program to keep track of anime that syncs with sites like MAL. https://code.google.com/p/taiga/

It looks like it grabs and recognizes what you're watching without you having to do anything. If so: that's awesome.
Post by: Puddsy on Fri, 04 July 2014, 14:07:59
sorry for not explaining
i think it also gives you torrent links for the latest episodes, and i've been trying to get it to update the file automatically
meaning as you watch episode 3 of an anime, it's downloading 4 and 5 or something
i might just give up on that, it's really hard
Post by: Excaliborg on Fri, 04 July 2014, 14:10:38
TacticalStache beat me to it as I was typing this. On top of everything we mentioned, it is nice to have a local backup of an online anime list that still provides all the benefits of using anime tracking websites themselves such as looking up plot descriptions. One more huge thing is that you can browse anime by season within the program which is nice if you don't feel like searching online for the latest chart.

No idea. If its the part I'm thinking of I think thats just the mech's preparing to sortie. Really excited for it though because they have a lot of talented staff working on it. I think its about a war between mars and earth after a time of peace. Aldnoah zero and fate stay night 2014 are easily the two anime im most looking forward to this year.

Holy **** that first episode. Confirmed hype is real. Can't wait for next week. The music was so good too! All the mechas looked so awesome!
And also as far as the names go, I referenced them in my last post^^^.
I just waited for the 1080p horriblesubs even though its just upscaled 720p. Not worth trying to take subs and put it on a RAW and having to deal with timings and all. I assume the raw is probably similar quality anyway.
and it finished just in time for the CLG game :D.

I feel mecha doesn't need all the drama they're injecting into it..
All a mecha fan really needs to get excited over, is robots + robot upgrade path... Like that's the WHOLE thing...
I don't care about the factions, I don't care about their love interests, I don't care about their ridiculous reasons for being an emo-prick despite having the ultimate career as a robot pilot..

PingPong was awesome and is only one to watch among this season, no doubt.
Others? Forget! At least I forgot them completely.
Ping Pong was surprisingly good. There are too many harem/beach episode/hotspring/fillers that make you forget there is not a story. For me anyway. Feels like half of all new anime is like this and have to shift through to find the good ones. I've found myself watching a series and thinking "this is a great story, great characters, great first and second episode, wait what are they doing, why is that is even there, why did they destroy this anime, deleted."
Black Bullet did this for me. Side stories are great in anime but for me this series falls short and then reminds me when the action starts and the character get serious and really work together it's a great concept. The fluff makes it a 3/5 instead of a 4 or 5/5. I feel like it's just one of the many animes that can be summed up in a minute or two and you can just jump into the second season without even watching it. Try doing that for Attack on Titan or Code Geass. Good animes have to be watched and not explained.

It is quite possible that they did this to prevent it from catching up/surpassing the manga in terms of progress. I guess personally I don't mind filler that much, especially cause I don't think ive watched anything longer than 50 ep.PingPong was awesome and is only one to watch among this season, no doubt.
Others? Forget! At least I forgot them completely.
Ping Pong was surprisingly good. There are too many harem/beach episode/hotspring/fillers that make you forget there is not a story. For me anyway. Feels like half of all new anime is like this and have to shift through to find the good ones. I've found myself watching a series and thinking "this is a great story, great characters, great first and second episode, wait what are they doing, why is that is even there, why did they destroy this anime, deleted."
Black Bullet did this for me. Side stories are great in anime but for me this series falls short and then reminds me when the action starts and the character get serious and really work together it's a great concept. The fluff makes it a 3/5 instead of a 4 or 5/5. I feel like it's just one of the many animes that can be summed up in a minute or two and you can just jump into the second season without even watching it. Try doing that for Attack on Titan or Code Geass. Good animes have to be watched and not explained.
And to be fair I think you can skip a lot of AoT and sum it up in 1 or 2 minutes. At least half of the first season if not the whole season. Though I read it and didnt watch more than 5 or so episodes.

Definitly should. I wish I could forget it all and rewatch it again.I just had a dream during my nap...
And I was watching anime.. I was watching aldnoah... and while i was watching it in the dream, I realized I've seen this before.. it was called Code Geass..Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/bird-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862491)
We'll see whether or not it's a code geass copy soon enough
Although, to note, I wouldn't even classify code geass as a mecha, I watched it for the plot and Lelouch antics.
i miss lelouch's crazy plots
i should really finish code geass
I have a feeling aldnoah might have less mecha fights than we want and might be more talking/plotbuilding. And I wouldn't be surprised to have characters suddenly die off.
Gotta start akame, downloaded it earlier. Read the first 30 ish chapters and hoping its just as gruesome as the manga.
I like the fact there might be fewer mecha fights
I feel like the mecha genre is evolving beyond the 'spew life principals in the cockpit to each other' trope, and I don't mind it :P
Yes, I want more victims by the urobutcher, even if he's only in charge of the plot for the first three episodes.
All a mecha fan really needs to get excited over, is robots + robot upgrade path... Like that's the WHOLE thing...
M0ar robots, less emo...Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/robot-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862517)
You should look into Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann if you just want pure fun and action, with none of the drama.

You should look into Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann if you just want pure fun and action, with none of the drama.I was actually considering dropping it and not finishing it. I was around episode 6.
Then I saw episode 7.
Now I think it's great.
That said, there is absolutely drama in there, the good news is that it's so over the top, the series does not take itself seriously at all. Usually I try to watch a "fun" anime and a "serious" one at the same time. Guren lagann was perfect for the "fun".
Now I need to find more "fun" - type ones that aren't all fanservice. Kill la Kill is making me _not_ want to watch more anime 'cause I know I'll have to put up with that.

Well I feel the perpetuated 'drama' in mechas that dates back to the gundam series has more to do with technobabble and the female leads doing some stupid **** (fking lacus clyne)
This series' drama is probably more of a feels trip for the watcher
Yeah there's a large lack of good, fun animes in these recent seasons. I'm a fan of the seriouso stuff though

You don't need to force yourself to watch KLKI like the rest of it a lot, so I want to find out how the rest of the show will go. I like the interplay between Mako and Ryuko.
Usually I work with my hands when watching TV (knotwork, sharpen knives, desolder, etc.) so this show is great for that.

The only parts I found bad were the parts with the mom. Other than that I honestly didn't pay too much attention to it. I watched it with a group of friends though every week so the hype and bonding definitely made it my favorite anime.You don't need to force yourself to watch KLKI like the rest of it a lot, so I want to find out how the rest of the show will go. I like the interplay between Mako and Ryuko.
Usually I work with my hands when watching TV (knotwork, sharpen knives, desolder, etc.) so this show is great for that.
As for gurren lagann its great especially because it is so over-the-top, which is one of the same reasons I loved KLK so much. Though some people have a urge to drop it after a few key events. There's also the movies gurren-hen and lagann-hen if you don't want to sit through the whole series.
For "fun" stuff you might try the devil is a part timer and nichijou.
I cant imagine doing stuff while watching anime though. I feel like im not getting the whole "experience" if I do, which is another reason I can't do dubs. It bothers me when I see people texting or something while watching anime. Also people who watch anime streamed in a non fullscreened player really bothers me. That ****s not even like 480p.

For "fun" stuff you might try the devil is a part timer and nichijou.Yeah I watched the first one (partly 'cause whitefox did it: they're a relatively new studio, so I like to see what they have to offer other than steins;gate) I think I already have Nichijou. If I remember right, it's pretty oddball. I'll bump it up the "to watch" list closer to the top.
I really like subs because I can read them at a glance. Also, with anime the art is mostly still. You know how common close-ups of people talking are. I can take it in at a glance. This leaves most of my vision open to do other things. Also, once you get good, you don't have to look down at your work that frequently. For me it doesn't "take away" from the experience. Then again, I also prefer some dubs to the japanese voice cast version. The biggest issue with dubs is there are like 6 american voice actors who do them, so you get the same voices in like every show. But I don't mind it so much.
Then there are some where I think the art is really worthwhile and I put more into watching it.

The most important quote in the entire series that Kaneki says when he's in the hospital looking like this:
"If, for argument's sake, you were to write a story with me in the lead role, it would certainly be..."

Sets the tone for the whole thing and foreshadows what's gonna come. But noooo let's just scrap that wtf? This panel is the only reason why I got into this series. I'm so disappointed.

Well they have to shorten the dialogue down to fit in all the context and expositions
And I think his screams were enough to point out that it was a 'tragedy'
I like that kind of internal monologue through, the foreshadowing seems top-notch too.

Probably an artistic choice on the behalf of the director then
Animes don't always follow the manga, and I hate when adaptations aren't faithful

I just started the episode and am only 2 mins in...What bothers me already is how censored it is (I assume the manga wasn't this way). Half the ****ing screen was black.
Nope manga was pretty gorey/gruesome

Yeah I liked how little censoring there was in Akme Ga Kill, it looks like a good adaptation so far. I can't wait for esdese and the jaegers. They did cut out a missing leg and a little gore though.
And I think the gore/gruesomeness is a huge reason I would watch tokyo ghoul as I know nothing about the story. I really hope this censoring isn't going to continue for the whole season. Hell I would have been fine if they just showed blood splatter or something and had it off screen. But the fact that they just blacked out half the screen bothers me.
edit: after finishing it...the missing quote sifo was talking about would have made it so much better. Think I'm going to pick it up though even despite the censoring. I think I'm really going tolike Touka.

Watched ep 2 of ghoul and downloaded the terror but havent seen it yet. I think the first 2 ep of it got shown at AX last week.
I also read the first 4 chapters of tokyo ghoul and I honestly like the anime adaptation more (except for the censoring part). They cut out a lot and change the story a bit which I thought made it better.

for the genre it's tops, for character development it could have been better, while kirito does a decent job of going through the paces, they really just said F- character development, and just up his skill to 11.
this anime also has the most side, sided characters around, anyone remember klein? nope he gets intro'd in eps 1 then shoe-horned in 10 eps later, if this is for story purposes (characters are not constant and might not be, b/c of the whole perma death) it does not work in a story driven anime where ppl look to characters to figure out wtf is going on. we can only look from kirito's POV for so long, and unfortunately he's not a fleshed out enough character.
it sounds negative, but it's not i give SAO a nice solid 7.5, soley b/c we're only invested in the main char kirito.
a more expansive focus on other characters like accel world, gets a nice8

Well, I saw Rail Wars!cep. 1 and was pleased to see they seemed to be appealing to the train otaku pretty directly.
Rail Wars is a pleasant surprise in this season
A bit too much 'boobage' though

aldnoah reeks of gundam to me, it is almost every good scene just piled into the episode. which isn't a bad thing.

kira yamoto in the first 2/3 of gundam seed was great, learned how to be awesome killed lots of guys. then the last 1/3 was castrated kira, decides to cuts the arms off of mechs and sound hippie gay. kira in gundam seed destiny is a hippie x2 but destiny was just a big ass cluster**** of ****ty ****ity **** anyway.

KLK is for people who like over the top. It's very similar to gurren lagann. Some people see it as rampant fan service, others of us just don't even notice it except for certain parts. Honestly I feel its a different kind of fan service than other anime have and once you learn more about the story it makes sense. I felt I was laughing more at fan service parts than drooling over them. And at least for me the fanservice wasn't as cringey as others (finger sucking...explosing tits/jiggling just because...or tentacle raping shampoo bottles). But obviously it isnt for everyone. If you don't like the fan service in ep 1 you wont like ep3.i started watching knights of sidonia the other day. it's pretty good so far, i like how similar it is to attack on titan in certain ways.

I would watch at least the first 3 episodes if theres even a chance you will like it. Thats where theres a nice jump in hype.

If you like the kinda dark violent stuff akame ga kill is going to shape up to be a good one. It's airing this season and I found the manga a lot darker than attack on titan's manga. But it also has its fan service and comedy. Mirai nikki is another good one I would recommend. Maybe deadman wonderland, but it doesn't have an "ending" so its probably a better read than watch. Though if AOT was one of your first anime you might have a hard time finding stuff you like since it might set your bar too high since a lot of people have it pretty high up on their lists.

and thank you for the recommendations! I checked them out a bit and they look interesting. i've actually watched a bit of deadman wonderland, but I find anime to be pretty slow-paced in general, which is why i stick to manga, since I can go at my own pace x.x what do you mean that it doesn't have much of an ending, though? it's a bit disappointing to hear that SNK is considered a top anime. not because I thought it sucked or anything, but I was hoping for other new shows to latch onto that are as good or better than the anime adaption of SNK.
Also, what do you think about Tokyo Ghoul (especially in relation to SNK)? I've head a lot of hype about it. do you know of naoki urasawa? he's one of my favorite mangaka; i LOVED Monster, Pluto, 20th/21st Century Boys (all manga). I've been hoping for some recommendations in relation to him.
i have this weird thing that if I don't absolutely adore a certain character (or multiple characters) in a manga or anime, I can't really enjoy it that much. makes it hard for me to pick new series up...it's weird, but i hope i'm not the only one who thinks this way, LOL

The anime just kinda ends because I believe its only ~12 episodes and the story doesnt finish. They left room for a 2nd season (if not more, i never looked at the manga) but never got picked up for a 2nd one. So the story just kinda suddenly ends and you're just sitting there with so many unresolved plot points.
My opinion on SNK is a bit different than others. A lot of people tell you its one of the best anime. I think its good, but not enough to be "best". I think its just a first anime for so many people and there's just so many fans that they over exaggerate it. Also there are many shows that are good or better, its just they aren't in the same genre. I tried to recommend you things that were just actiony and violent since that is what you said you liked. If you're open to other things there are tons of other anime to try, though like I said before, I would give them more than 1 episode.
I watched the first 2 episodes of Tokyo Ghoul and read the first 4 chapters during this time. First off, the anime is censored to all hell. I'm talking 75-90% of the screen covered in black or the colors inverted for an entire fight. The anime makes changes from the manga, unlike SNK (from what I remember...I only actually watched like 1/4-1/2 of it and read the rest). I felt the anime(ghoul) made changes to the story that were better for the story. To me the manga was really slow and kept beating around the bush to establish the same plot points with to me a weaker impact. With that said I wouldn't try watching it now because of how much censoring there is. I would wait for BD releases and hope it gets rid of that.
I have not heard of Naoki Urasawa but I'll take some time later to look at his stuff and see if I can find anything similar. I'm not much of a manga reader myself, only picked up things after I watched some of the anime but got tired of waiting week by week.
As for the character things I think a lot of people are the same way, but maybe not to your extreme. There's plenty of shows to watch and enjoy if you're more open to them and give them some time. A lot of the time one episode isn't enough to build character, establish plot, or "hook" you with some twists. 22 minutes isnt enough :p. Oh and sorry if I repeat myself a lot...I wrote this after I woke up to go to the bathroom. Back to bed for me :D.

and the show actually goes into better space physics than others..

I started my japan-experience on Anime, then I thought that was slow, so I moved to manga, Then I realized Manga is just as slow because it's filled with even MORE stuff I don't care about..
So I switched back to anime, because it's condensed manga, and -typically- only the more important things make it in.. AND I watch anime like a manga, lots of skipping..

Also, what do you think about Tokyo Ghoul (especially in relation to SNK)? I've head a lot of hype about it. do you know of naoki urasawa? he's one of my favorite mangaka; i LOVED Monster, Pluto, 20th/21st Century Boys (all manga). I've been hoping for some recommendations in relation to him.
i have this weird thing that if I don't absolutely adore a certain character (or multiple characters) in a manga or anime, I can't really enjoy it that much. makes it hard for me to pick new series up...it's weird, but i hope i'm not the only one who thinks this way, LOL
The anime just kinda ends because I believe its only ~12 episodes and the story doesnt finish. They left room for a 2nd season (if not more, i never looked at the manga) but never got picked up for a 2nd one. So the story just kinda suddenly ends and you're just sitting there with so many unresolved plot points.
My opinion on SNK is a bit different than others. A lot of people tell you its one of the best anime. I think its good, but not enough to be "best". I think its just a first anime for so many people and there's just so many fans that they over exaggerate it. Also there are many shows that are good or better, its just they aren't in the same genre. I tried to recommend you things that were just actiony and violent since that is what you said you liked. If you're open to other things there are tons of other anime to try, though like I said before, I would give them more than 1 episode.
I watched the first 2 episodes of Tokyo Ghoul and read the first 4 chapters during this time. First off, the anime is censored to all hell. I'm talking 75-90% of the screen covered in black or the colors inverted for an entire fight. The anime makes changes from the manga, unlike SNK (from what I remember...I only actually watched like 1/4-1/2 of it and read the rest). I felt the anime(ghoul) made changes to the story that were better for the story. To me the manga was really slow and kept beating around the bush to establish the same plot points with to me a weaker impact. With that said I wouldn't try watching it now because of how much censoring there is. I would wait for BD releases and hope it gets rid of that.
I have not heard of Naoki Urasawa but I'll take some time later to look at his stuff and see if I can find anything similar. I'm not much of a manga reader myself, only picked up things after I watched some of the anime but got tired of waiting week by week.
As for the character things I think a lot of people are the same way, but maybe not to your extreme. There's plenty of shows to watch and enjoy if you're more open to them and give them some time. A lot of the time one episode isn't enough to build character, establish plot, or "hook" you with some twists. 22 minutes isnt enough :p. Oh and sorry if I repeat myself a lot...I wrote this after I woke up to go to the bathroom. Back to bed for me :D.
Oh, I see. That actually sounds pretty annoying. I read that it's on hiatus as well? I'm impatient as it is; I wish certain manga were on a weekly release schedule (although I don't think I'd trade art quality for it; the manhwa Noblesse has steadily gone down in quality ever since it got popular and rushed...).
That's true! It's the first anime I've ever watched a complete season of, and I enjoyed it especially because there wasn't a lot of filler bull****. I wouldn't say it's the best one I've ever seen, simply because I haven't seen much. And besides action, I feel like I enjoy mysteries and thrillers a lot. Love the suspense in manga like Monster.
That's actually good to know. I was debating on whether or not to even start the manga, but that has pretty much sealed the deal, lol. I just see so much of it on tumblr, it looks pretty good...
Thank you for the advice, though! I'm quite impatient when it comes to television...and just extremely picky in general. I think I demand too much from everything, haha. I'll keep that in mind when I watch the things you suggested. Summer downtime in the evenings is perfect for anime/manga!

I feel like it depends on the series. Like, inner monologues in anime tend to drag on and on... while I can quickly read through them in manga (not sacrificing any comprehension, of course). i also like the feeling of manga being completely canon, with words and drawings implying exactly what the author means to. Anime tends to **** up the artstyle at some points, for the ones I've watched (aka not much...).you're right D: i tend to enjoy more action-y, violent, and drama-filled manga (i've only started watching anime recently). i think KLK is the first comedy-ish, crazy anime episode i've ever watched (well, I used to watch the funimation dubbed one piece episodes when i was like...12). the fanservice parts just made me think "why is this here..."; honestly, I'm not a fan of random nudity in television/movies either, so i think it makes sense how I dislike it in KLK. i still wanted to give it a try though! my friend said it just gets better over time.
@CK Briefs: omg, yes it is. though I like the characters in SNK a lot more...the whole love triangle with nagate kind of made me facepalm :eek:
I find anime to be pretty slow-paced in general, which is why i stick to manga, since I can go at my own pace x.x
I started my japan-experience on Anime, then I thought that was slow, so I moved to manga, Then I realized Manga is just as slow because it's filled with even MORE stuff I don't care about..
So I switched back to anime, because it's condensed manga, and -typically- only the more important things make it in.. AND I watch anime like a manga, lots of skipping..
and the best part of knights of sidonia is just watching nagate wreck ****...for the most part. the show also just has a bunch of interesting quirks and revelations (like a talking bear, wth), love dat ****.

Old school!
I've seen a few of the older ones, but I don't really watch anime for the look. I'm all about the story / characterizations / etc. I do appreciate better art, but a show is made or broken on other aspects for me.

Finished evangelion a few days ago. Great show, except I have no idea what the last couple episodes were supposed to be. I'm hoping end of eva clears that up (I doubt it will).The last two episodes of Eva did a good job at showing what was going on in the characters' minds during End of Eva but they explained nothing of what was actually going on. End of Eva explains a lot of things and shows you what was happening in the real world but it's also filled with a lot of "wtf is going on" moments. It's a lot sadder than the last two episodes btw.
The movie was IMO really good and a worthy ending to the show.
I haven't seen the rebuild movies yet, I've heard that they're good but not as emotional as NGE since the characters seem to be less interesting. I'll probably start watching them tomorrow.

Hardly
The last episodes of the orignal series ended up that way because (at least from what I've read) they ran out of budget and I believe the director (or someone important) was depressed at the time. EoE is great as well but I prefer the rebuild series. It makes asuka more awesome imo and the animation is amazing. I can't wait for the fourth movie.

Any love for anime music, aside from R.O.D?Pm'd. And I listen to way more anime/tohou/vocaloid music than I should. I think a big reason I enjoy it so much is because at least for anime music I can hear an insert song or OP/ED and associate it with an anime I've watched so I get a kinda special feeling every time I listen to them. That and as dumb as it sounds I can play games/talk with people and not worry about overlapping conversation with lyrics. Since I can't understand Japanese I focus more on the game and still get to enjoy the music.

Looks like Yuki Kajiura worked on a lot of things I've seen and enjoyed so far. Ufotable works, madoka stuff, and aldnoah zero to name a few.She did a lot of work for the dot Hack series' under her FictionJunction persona, and on Madoka, under the name Kalafina, if you've seen any of those.
She's quite prolific.
These are two of my favorites by her, though like I said, she can do no wrong by me:
I also quite like the artist May'n, after hearing her on the OP of Shangri-La (an anime I recommend purely on the strength of Range Murata's character design)
I think she has a very strong voice, which makes her fairly distinct from the reedy-sounding vocals you can get from a lot of other Jpop.
From Psycho Pass' OP, I discovered Rin To****e Shigure, a really frenetic progressive rock band:

Any love for anime music, aside from R.O.D?I really liked the music from Haibane Renmei. The entire soundtrack is wonderful (if only it were for sale anywhere....) Lastpilot can back me up on this. This is partly why it's one of my fav. animes.
Here's the ending theme for people who like lyrics and stuff
For more "modern" sounding stuff, I rather liked the music from angel beats (here's the one with the most views I could find.)

I'm also fond of Iuchi Maiko as stated, Raildex OST too good.

I really liked the music from Haibane Renmei. The entire soundtrack is wonderful (if only it were for sale anywhere....) Lastpilot can back me up on this. This is partly why it's one of my fav. animes.
Yep, Haibane Renmei takes the cake for anime soundtracks. 11/10 No series I've watched has ever come close to it in terms of music.
The anime itself has rightfully earned the soundtrack, delivering meaningful messages with beautiful light colors detailed backgrounds. Haibane Renmei demands authenticity, avoiding typical anime over-emphasis and pursuing thoughtful, unique, and relatable plot devices. The series feels intellectually sophisticated while also either mercilessly grappling at your emotions or carrying an air of lightheartedness that feels like a perfect summer day. :]

100 percent Touhou, occasionally PMMM ost and I ****ing love the Raildex ost. I have fill gits collection and Evangelion collection as well.Evangelion's music was weird but very fitting.
also yes I love kalafina
I don't get why they used a James Bond theme though.

She did a lot of work for the dot Hack series' under her FictionJunction persona, and on Madoka, under the name Kalafina, if you've seen any of those.
She's quite prolific.
Oh I didn't know she was part of fiction junction yuuka or kalafina. I've actually had silly go round downloaded for a while after i found it on some youtube playlist (never seen a .hack anime). Kalafina is one of the reasons I love aldnoah and f/z so much. Their music has a certain....vibe to it that I can't describe.
As with dork I really liked the music from angel beats. But I think that's because I like jrock with female vocals. I can't tell you how many times I've listened to the gldemo album on my commutes to/from campus.
Which is why I also loved the songs from Haruhi even though I never watched it.
Though one of my favorite from an ost is from katanagatari
and the most epic battle theme I've ever heard
edit: and idk about the whole ost but I remember liking the op/ed's in a lot of the raildex series. I loved when the final episodes would play them during the fights. It would get me so hyped up and excited.

Hated the anime, but I love this single.
Couldn't find a better version, so enjoy this AMV:
Post by: dorkvader on Mon, 04 August 2014, 20:14:35
I never watched it, but my brother got the OST for X back in middle school and played the heck out of it. I'm told the anime wasn't too great, but they had some sweet music for it!
Here's another track. I tried to convince the band to play this at a concert (we couldn't find the music arrangement and arranging it from scratch would have taken too much time)
As far as "battle music" (other than the above) I also enjoy Emiya's themesong from fate/stay night. Whenever you hear that, you know someone about get messed up something fierce!
(I'm humming along right now!)
Finally: it's not anime, but I also dig this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb9XFXdmb2U) which is very much in the same vein.

Xenderwind, I liked the GirlDeMo songs a lot, but even the background music from Angel beats! was good. You should look into it if you have a chance. I'll have to listen to those songs you posted a bit (and move "mirai nikiki" up my "to watch" list closer to the front.)

From Psycho Pass' OP, I discovered Rin To****e Shigure, a really frenetic progressive rock band:Just got around to clicking some of the vids you guys linked. The same group did the OP to this season's tokyo ghoul. I like what I've heard from them so far, might have to look into their other works.
As far as "battle music" (other than the above) I also enjoy Emiya's themesong from fate/stay night. Whenever you hear that, you know someone about get messed up something fierce!I honestly usually have a pretty hard time listening to just ost's without lyrics in them unless I'm like studying or something. Though its definitely easier for me to want to listen to them if I've seen the anime they're from as well so maybe I'll look into the angel beats OST.

I still haven't seen fsn. I watched f/z first and then I tried to do the fsn vn but I just can't get through it (I'm not a huge fan of reading things tbh, I find myself getting distracted easily). I just didn't want to do the fsn anime or movie(done by same people) because I've heard bad things about it. Some say its kind of like a butcher of an adaptation from the vn. Which is why I'm really excited that ufotable is working on two of the routes for fsn (heavens feel and unlimited blade works iirc) as I love their work.
If you've seen the first adaptation of fsn I'd love to hear your opinions on the new series when it comes out if you get around to watching it. The UBW route series should be this year, no idea when the heavens feel movie is coming out though.

On Heaven's Feel atm, didn't know that all the routes in F/SN were just as dark as Fate/Zero :O

It is actually 100% absolutely nothing like what you are watching right now. Fate Kaleid is a spin-off/alternate universe of fanservice, etc..
I highly rate the Fate series.

I should probably catch up on that series as I've only watched Bakemonogatari so far. I loved the character development but the show in general was a little slow paced for my liking. I'll probably pick up Nisemonogatari soon anyway as I don't have a lot to watch this season.

I hope so, brother... supposedly the story gets much darker and mature after Second Raid. Even if they did make further series, I'm sure they'll lighten it up for the general audience but as long as they stay with KyoAni, and hopefully, Takemoto Yasuhiro, I'm sure we'll be fine. Hopefully...

Don't think this counts as it ended in Spring, but I'm watching Log Horizon atm in preparation for the new season in October, and it's actually awesome!
As for summer season, I'd recommend:
- Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun is my Anime of the Season (HILARIOUS comedy, slice of life; very character-driven and it's not forced at all)
- Aldnoah.Zero (from the Urobutcher himself comes a mecha title very similar in nature to Code Geass; its key aspect is that it's much more realistic than other mechas--rather than sheer willpower or demi-god abilities, the MC wins through intelligence and strategic sacrifices)
- Zankyou no Terror (it was hyped up to be almost movie-quality in animation and character development; it veered a bit off course, but it starts off as a very smart battle between tacticians, with a plot focusing on terrorists trying to get their message across)

There is a lot of good anime out this season tbh

I think I've been watching too much "new" stuff so I think I'll watch baccano next.

any thing good recently? past 3 month-ish ?Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/confused-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862495)
Watched pingpong not long ago and it was excellent. Also watched that "Ryūgajō Nanana no Maizōkin" one (totaly copypasta from internet. I can't be bothered to type all that) and it was pretty good but too short.

I'm really confused about why they kept making anime after Cowboy Bebop. That seemed like a wholly logical stopping point.you can only watch it so many times until you have it memorized entire.

Well, the stories don't really change... so it comes down to HOW you rate it..
Do you rate it on presentation or originality or must it have BOTH
If your idea of a 10/10 Anime has to be both Original and Well presented..
Then all new animes similar to the OLD ones you've seen will be rated lower, because they will have 0 originality points assigned..

I don't think any plot is original, so no originality points go to old anime or new.
It all depends on what you are after. Are you only interested in no-CG old school type? great. Are you interested in re-tellings of stories (the plot)? great. There will be something for everyone.
Personally, I'm interested in the storytelling-as-art aspect, so I am interested in not necessarily the visual or vocal presentation, but how the story unfolds. Because of this, the length and pacing matter very much to me. So I can enjoy old or new anime equally well.

She hasn't had a typical yandere moment though
Like when has she threatened to kill Eren? She's cold on the outside and only shows her moe-less dere side indirectly
As well, I feel as if all her 'tsun' moments are implied, not exactly directly shown. This makes it more like head canon, rather than matters of fact

It's on the lines of shows focused heavily on music like Kids on the Slope (Sakamichi no Apollon), and the sakuga has been above average (especially in #5 with Takashi Kojima (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JSrXTA3eaU) as the sole key animator/animation director).

I' just watched the first epi of gekkan shojou
These characters imho are very conflicting.. they exist in a "limited, compartmentalized" emotional state..
Most certainly an attractive man and woman alone together in a room, as long as neither of them has significant personality defects, would just be having sex.. and there would be no more story to write.
That is the reality everywhere, be it Japan or anywhere else..
So, what is the purpose of creating such unrealistic fantasies that are both impractical and impossible..
The only explanation that can exist must be to fulfill the fantasy of someone who is abnormal and must escape the objective realities of everyday life...
A loner, for example..
He wishes to have a romance, but for whatever reason he is unable to achieve it or at least unable to reach the plateau of partners he desire..
So.. instead of losing himself to mere misery, he chooses to lose himself in the fantasy of an impossible relationship that consists only minimally of animal attraction, and possesses impossible purity // innocence akin to very-very young children.
In many ways, the seeker of this type of material is attempting to escape reality, his own intellect, and the realization of a judicial world..
I'm not judging, I'm just saying that this is how a loner would be preyed upon.. (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/023.gif)

- Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun is my Anime of the Season (HILARIOUS comedy, slice of life; very character-driven and it's not forced at all)I'm watching this right now, and it's just what the doctor ordered. Seo is such a fantastic character.
+++++
Best writing in an anime series I’ve seen in years.
I' just watched the first epi of gekkan shojou
These characters imho are very conflicting.. they exist in a "limited, compartmentalized" emotional state..
Most certainly an attractive man and woman alone together in a room, as long as neither of them has significant personality defects, would just be having sex.. and there would be no more story to write.
That is the reality everywhere, be it Japan or anywhere else..
So, what is the purpose of creating such unrealistic fantasies that are both impractical and impossible..

Or... It's a comedy/SoL that doesn't have anything to do with the philosophical
Thing is, it's both enjoyable and objectively sound. I think you're just overthinking things a bit.
What is anime but a medium? No one method of storytelling in anime is the be-all and end-all.
I'd even argue that the 'realism' in some anime can't even be considered realism for the sheer reason that no stylus that touches a screen or mind that draws up a storyboard can ever truly be void of bias or contain reality in its entirety.
I'd suggest you take a breather since it feels like you're talking less about the genre and more about your distaste for the social outcasts and how anime that appeals to a specific audience is inherently inferior or disgusting, which it isn't.

Just sex sex sex, forget about the story.
Anyway, what human has no “significant personality defects”?

You misunderstand.. i specifically said.. "not judging".. I am analyzing sans emotion.. For all purposes you may assume Tp4 = Robot..
This is NOT a slice of LIFE.. when that life does not exist for Anyone in the real world.. and if you explore the jokes they employ.. they're not reality jokes either..
A reality joke is something that's funny because it breaks some logical construct established in reality.
A typical anime joke, is some sort of in joke that is only breaking a fantasy construct which only occurs IN ANIME..

But you're not a robot. The things you say have meaning and connotations and charges; they don't disappear just because you insert two words. And I take 'slice of life' to be slice of THEIR life. Who's to say a FICTIONAL character is unable to have a life as portrayed in that anime.
You're just getting metaphysical with a very simple, yet tasteful tale.
Yeah I lost you when you started mentioning reality jokes and what not.
P.s. Impact, not intent. Doesn't matter what you intended if the message that gets across to the reader is one saturated in negative connotations. You very indirectly link those who enjoyed the show as being 'loners'. The words you choose, alone, are in pretty poor taste.

Nozaki-kun is about exaggerating and parodying tropes of shoujo manga. It's in the title "Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun". There is no deeper philosophical reading to it. The source material manga also written by a woman.
So... slow your roll and enjoy the tanuki.

crazy.
I admit to being emotionally sensitive. Some people call it "empathy". Others call it "a sure sign of weakness". It all depends on what values are important in a society what response such an admission will garner me.Some pretty big stuff goes down in the last 4 episodes (if you mean 18-22, or even 20-24, though I didn't bother with the extras) but if you played the game you already knowis this only something a girl-trapped-in-a-man's-body would cry about.. or is it they killed my horse, manly-crying.

The first two movies are re-tellings, and the third one, 'Rebellion', is completely original and is rated very highly for its visuals, gripping storytelling and plot twist.

Now I can finally rewatch one of the greatest in HD with subs..
Nothing beats full Bluray Iso.. 10bit re-encode can go suck it... (http://www.clubtuzki.com/emoticons/tuzki_013.gif)
If you think about it.. is 175gigs really that different from 40gig rip.. in terms of space ... NOT REALLY.... it's 2.5 cents per GB.. so you pay $3.50 extra for the 175gb to watch the FULL bluray vs the Rip.. That's hardly significant..
I guess 4k bluray would beat it.. but it remains to be seen if 4k actually improve classic anime by much.

Yeah, its definitely a shoujo. The thing I love about that series though is that...
You can totally only watch the first 3 episodes and get the full effect of the show, or continue watching the entire series which keeps up till the very end.

huh? the story is about a guy with the All Seeing Eyes of God trying to find a way to heal his sister's disabilities right?
But then he somehow joined a organization that specializes in dealing with non-humans as their world is merging with the otherworld.
Animation wise no complaints though... story I think is okok.... their depiction of Vampires is too overpowered, almost like Hellsing Ultimate level... :eek:

I think in blood blockade battlefront got, because they tried to prevent the breaking of the seal that prevents the destruction brought by the otherworld from affecting the current world via new york.The early part of Blood blockade was stupid. It was just “let’s draw some **** that looks cool”; the plot didn’t make any sense, I couldn’t empathize with any of the characters, the writing was dumb, and it didn’t seem to be going anywhere after about 3 episodes, so I stopped watching. Did it get more interesting later? (I doubt it, but you never know...)What else is everyone watching this season anyway? or just in general? This season seems pretty lackluster imoBoth Erased and Rakugo are better than anything last season or the season before. I gave up on a few other current shows after 2–3 episodes.
huh? the story is about a guy with the All Seeing Eyes of God trying to find a way to heal his sister's disabilities right?
But then he somehow joined a organization that specializes in dealing with non-humans as their world is merging with the otherworld.
Animation wise no complaints though... story I think is okok.... their depiction of Vampires is too overpowered, almost like Hellsing Ultimate level... :eek:
I think the failure of all these super power shows, is that there is no super-power RISK..

Yes, but they don't explain why the destruction of otherworld would be so bad..
Peril is different once you achieve all the things they've achieved.
Their abilities transcend death itself.. Yet there is no concept as to account for any motivation to continue living..
I can accept Gods envying human's ability to die, but there is no explanation for them behaving as we would..

Aldnoah Zero's plot was extraneous... They didn't put enuff money in the mech fights imho.. They weren't very exciting.. too much dialogue.

I agree if you say S2's mecha fights are less polished than in S1's, because I do feel that there is a rush there, but thank god it still maintain the importance of strategy play here.
The rush is most felt when suddenly already final battle with the earth federation etc... and that ****ed up ending.... I chased all the way from episode 13 to episode 23.... and A-1 Pictures give me that... >:D

I see I see... I also liked Macross, only didnt watch Macross Dynamite 7 I think.
MJP is gooding, the 3D mecha fights are the best so far, unless you also take into account Fafner Exodus :cool:
Also, I liked that in MJP, the main char's Red is not #1, is Red Five, Blue is One ^-^

Didnt knew you were also into model kits?
So far they release only very few of the kits for MJP though...
For model kits, I only interested in Bandai Plamo for Macross, coz I like my valkyrie to TRANSFORM!
On another note, how do you watch your anime? Episode by episode per week? Or in one shot marathon?
For me I cant stand waiting them once per week, it will drive me insane, so I always watch completed ones, right now Im catching up on those ended last season.

Post by: xtrafrood on Mon, 11 April 2016, 09:19:47
Samurai Champloo
Akira
Ghost In The Shell
Cowboy Bebop
Planetes
Macross: I watched a few episodes but was distracted by Planetes. I'll probably watch a few more to decide if I like it or not.
Attack On Titan was a no go for me. The 'mystery' of the Titans kept me from watching more than three episodes.

The movie is good but not needed just like the OVA.
If you get a chance I would recommend the VN for S;G and I am looking forward to the second series that was announced.
Have you seen the original Gits?
I would also recommend "Time of Eve"
And "Patama Inverted" ( This movie will turn your world upside down )
Post by: KetchyKech on Mon, 11 April 2016, 12:43:15
I know what you are thinking:
sports anime? Never got into those & those sport-themed animes can't be engaging to watch for people that dont like a particular sport or sports in general
Tennis? I didn't like Prince of Tennis & I won't like Baby Steps
Baby steps? What in the hell kind of name is that !
I urge you to forego those possible inclinations....Baby Steps is simply amazing ~ it has intense action sequences that rival that of shonen animes (seriously on the edge of my seat for many of the protagonist's epic matches). Even those that don't know the first thing about Tennis will be able to follow along as the main character learns how to play the game himself. The show has two seasons out right now, and was not renewed for a 3rd season, but its well worth the watch :thumb:

Alright, I'll keep that in mind. I haven't read or played any of the visual novels for S;G but I've heard they're pretty good!
I have seen the original GitS, I loved that movie :thumb:
As for the other two movies, I haven't seen either of them but I looked up their trailers and they seem like my kind of anime so I'll definitely put some time aside to watch them. I'm also a big fan of Paprika (that soundtrack <3), Summer Wars, and in keeping with the time travel theme of S;G - The Girl Who Leapt Through Time :D

The only sport anime I got into was "Teekyruu (http://http://myanimelist.net/anime/15125/Teekyuu)" if you want to call it a sports anime , but was always one for word puns.

I urge you to forego those possible inclinations....Baby Steps is simply amazing ~ it has intense action sequences that rival that of shonen animes (seriously on the edge of my seat for many of the protagonist's epic matches). Even those that don't know the first thing about Tennis will be able to follow along as the main character learns how to play the game himself. The show has two seasons out right now, and was not renewed for a 3rd season, but its well worth the watch :thumb:
***** please, who dare discriminate sports anime?
I have watched Slam Dunk, Kuroko no Basuke, Haikyuu, One Outs.
One Outs is awesome shyt! It's like Lelouch playing baseball :eek:

Just chiming in here to mention the sports anime, "Baby Steps." It's a tennis anime.

Thanks for the suggestion :thumb:

You can almost say the sole reason I watch GATE ^-^
Haha, I really liked it. Especially all the jokes at how Itami is actually a really well trained soldier despite his outward appearance lol
Incidentally, I've watched Log Horizon and I really liked that as well. I never bothered with SAO so I can't compare it but I really want there to be another season of Log Horizon. As for the Dagashi Kashi, I'll have to give that a go once I've finished up Baby Steps / GitS :)
Whoa Steins;Gate surprised me! I'm a John Titor fan now! :))
Yes! Great series, I loved every second of it!

I really hate it when they switch the story focus to the kids... damn BORIIIIIIIIIIIING......... BUT the moment they shift focus back to SHIROE and friends, shyt just got serious :cool: :cool:
Dagashi is nice, but this season's Sakamoto desu Ga? should take the crown for the comedy anime because it just seriously hilarious.
I laughed from the moment it starts till the ending song :)) :)) :))

The key geekhack-relevant feature of Steins;Gate is that the central focus is an IBM portable computer with an integrated beam spring keyboard.
Only after typing on a beam spring board will you truly understand why they go to so much trouble to find that machine. ;)

I think that is the reason why folks here buy Model M/ F boards, but I doubt that is the reason in the anime though :p

Model M / F are significantly different from beam springs. If you’ve never tried a beam spring board, definitely try to find one sometime. They’re a lot of fun to type on, and have the best keycaps ever made.
Especially the ones with APL legends on some IBM 5100s:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ZRBLM3T.jpg)
o.O I misinterpret that buckling springs == beam springs :-X
Will try to research around to find out more about them, thanks for the knowledge!

Frolaytia, although Havia questions her age of 18 with that bust, but since she's voiced by Itou Shizuka, say no more ;D

Yea, I was so facepalm by it during the first 15 minutes, but then.... the following 10 minutes.... I have to give it second thought because it becomes serious shyt and everything becomes so awesome that I can forgive the pop music part altogether :cool:
I checked out Psycho Pass recently and was pleasantly surprised. Lots of cool tech. I'm not crazy about the intro but I'll definitely watch the first season if only for the gadgets :eek:

The allegory to reality from psychopath, is that all of our leaders are psychos, which gives them a clear competitive advantage against less aggressive people.
And their choice of work is to hire other psychos to Thwart the possibility of yet MORE psychos who would challenge them..
Thereby creating a perfect nation / world of sheep-human..
The problem here is, OK, fine, sheep human.. THEN WHAT... what now... you've got your sheep, what are you gonna do with them.. you've already got 10 sweaters for every person.

hahaha... yes, the story is ****ed up, but that is like an alternate future of Japan, should they decide to shut themselves from the world, which they didnt do in the real world.
In such society, what is happening in pyscho-pass is only natural, and the Sibyl system or (the brains of the pyschos) are the one discussing/ debating on whether or not who is guilty and should those people be executed or else, and for those that Sibyl could not determine their hostility, Sibyl will "recruit" them to join Sibyl system, as it might think that those persons that it could not judge are having the same kind of thinking as theirs and thus should join them in their cause to "manage" and "govern" the society.
I think the aim of Sibyl system is to create a "peaceful" and "manageable" society where crimes and potential criminals can be prevented even before it happens but in truth Sibyl goes full Skynet... LOL...

On another note, after reaching episode 17 of Heavy Objects, I think JCStaff improved alot in their 3D animation, the ones in HO is kind of "unique" and not as stiff like some studios.... :cool:
Also dropping some random anime suggestions of the day:
WORKING!! -----> all 3 seasons (comedy + slice of life)
Kill La Kill -----> abit NSFW, but the fight animation is imcomparable (battle action)
Afro Samurai ----> Western people as samurai wearing Nike AirMax-like slippers (battle action)
Inou Battle -----> comedy
Blassreiter -----> one of the best by Gonzo, one of my personal fav (battle action)
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ -----> hitman/ assassin
Black Lagoon ------------------------------------> somewhat similar genre to Phantom, but different
Hunter x Hunter (2011 by Madhouse) ---> nuff said

WORKING!! -----> all 3 seasons (comedy + slice of life)I watched 2 episodes a couple years ago, but it didn’t seem very engaging; I didn’t see the point. What did you like about it?
Quote
Hunter x Hunter (2011 by Madhouse) ---> nuff saidI recommend skipping this one. Some of the animation is well done, there’s some decent voice acting, and some of the plot ideas are kind of interesting, but well over half of the content is filler, sometimes 10 minutes repeated almost verbatim from one episode to another, with long tedious voiceovers telling us what to think. The plot is filled with “shocking” / violent elements, as if to imply that the show is for a mature audience, but the themes are so moralistic and heavy handed, with so much gratuitous explanation, that the show was surely written for a 10–15-year-old audience who need a lot of hand holding to understand what’s going on. I felt like they only had 30–40 episodes worth of ideas, but they needed to fill out 5x that much time, so they just padded what they had to the max. In other words, the producer/director have no respect for the audience.
After watching this you’ll feel depressed that you wasted so much time. Given the amount of internet hype, I had medium-high expectations, but was very underwhelmed. With the same amount of time investment, you can finish 12 full one-season shows, or go design and build a new custom keyboard or paint a mural or something.

Kill La Kill, you have to see it for yourself, even one episode is good enough :cool:
but just to let you know, it is a love it or hate it relationship with this one.
As for WORKING!! well, that is the main point of it, it is about a bunch of people working as part-timers in a restaurant and their daily shenenigans :))
For Hunter x Hunter I followed it till the last 10 episodes I think, cannot bring myself to finish it because it will reminds me that there will be no more of it :'(
So far I like how it turns out, but maybe that is because I didnt watch the previous ones.

I liked Kill La Kill, Afro Samurai, and I loved Black Lagoon. Revy was a beast! Looks like I'll have to look into Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ sometime in the future when I've finished Baby Steps.
Akame Ga Kill was pretty good, starts out with a kind of light tone to it but by the end of the first episode it shows you it's anything but...
Darker Than Black was also really enjoyable to watch, not really sure how to describe that one it's just good imo.
Baka to Tesuto to Shōkanjū is one of my favorite comedies. Pretty inappropriate and probably not for everyone but I found it very amusing!
Hey babes, would someone please recommend something for me to start that is on Netflix?
All I've seen on the Netflix listings are fma, sword art, death note, hxh, attack on Titan
I'm open to anything other that high-school drama anime
Gurren Lagann, K, Durarara!!, Soul Eater, Aldnoah Zero, Samurai Champloo, Kill La Kill. and Knights of Sidonia (which admittedly almost turned me away at first) are all pretty good imo :)

why is this thread so quiet in GH.... no love for anime from GHers? :'( :'(
On another note, after reaching episode 17 of Heavy Objects, I think JCStaff improved alot in their 3D animation, the ones in HO is kind of "unique" and not as stiff like some studios.... :cool:
Also dropping some random anime suggestions of the day:
WORKING!! -----> all 3 seasons (comedy + slice of life)
Kill La Kill -----> abit NSFW, but the fight animation is imcomparable (battle action)
Afro Samurai ----> Western people as samurai wearing Nike AirMax-like slippers (battle action)
Inou Battle -----> comedy
Blassreiter -----> one of the best by Gonzo, one of my personal fav (battle action)
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ -----> hitman/ assassin
Black Lagoon ------------------------------------> somewhat similar genre to Phantom, but different
Hunter x Hunter (2011 by Madhouse) ---> nuff said

Dayum, how can I forget Darker than Black and Durarara!!, both watched and dayum they are awesome!!!
Still praying that one day can have new Darker than Black, every season's end is a blardy cliffhanger!!! Where did Hei go?!
Got eye on Sidonia for awhile, but havent start it, maybe it is time, ONLY AFTER I finished Heavy Objects :cool:

stumbled upon a show called Koutetsujou no Kabaneri recently, there are only two episodes out but I'm already hooked.

Trigun (old but gold)
Hataraku Maou-sama (action comedy)
Mahou Shoujo Madoka (it isnt what you think it is)
GTO (life lessons)
Fate/Zero -> Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (probably the most beautiful anime youll ever see, also really good action)
Hellsing Ultimate (violence and sarcasm)
Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (comedy and common anime troupes)
No Game No Life (eye candy and overpowered main characters)
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (the manliest of men)
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun (Romcom, more comedy than romance, youll see what i mean)
Yowamushi Pedal (who knew bicycling would be so interesting)
Toradora! (everybody's favorite romcom)
Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun (interesting characters)
Log Horizon (Sword art but better IMO)
Assassination Classroom (light-hearted action that slowly gets more intense, but not too intense)
Shokugeki no Souma (foodporn + borderline porn)
One Punch Man (you need to watch this)
Ajin (what is it like to be immortal?)
Macross (Gundam... but about music and love triangles)
Suisei no Gargantia (great plot twist at the end)
Kaichou wa Maid-sama! (everybody's favorite shoujo aside from ouran host club)
Ore Monogatari (You can watch the first 3 episodes by itself, or watch the entire series and have the same effect)
Claymore (berserk but female)
Berserk 2016 (not out yet, but god damn I can't wait)

Anyone here watching Utawarerumono and Utawarerumono 2 Itsuwari no Kamen?
Watched S1 and S2 now around half.... so far so good :D
The issue I started to think was silly after about a week after watching it, is that All of those guns on the objects are -rail-guns-
So... if at any point they're Firing out of order.. the Object should actually TURN or Spin around or even flip over, given how big those guns are.. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/bad-atmosphere-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862489)

hahaha, that one I think it is compensated by the weights of the Object itself, I think every episode when they go into commercial they got show the data of the Objects and the weight I think is enough to offset the recoil of those guns :)
I think there are other things that are more "silly" in this anime than the rail guns on objects.
i. Qwenthur: "Can I have some guns? It is dangerous to move around battlefield full of enemy hostiles without any firearm to protect myself."
Frolaytia: "Oh no I can't authorize to allow personnel who have yet to complete the firearm training to have firearms!"
Qwenthur: "Oh... okay...."
Frolaytia: "But here, have some C4s as replacement, you can have those instead."
Qwenthur: ".......... Ok."
ii. Two flesh-and-blood soldiers moving around in battlefield filled with enemies and Objects of Mass Destruction and yet, they DO NOT WEAR HELMETS. Even when EVERYONE ELSE is wearing them in the battlefield... I think they are protected by Plot Power as they say "Main characterss do not die?"
:)) :))

Well, yea, the mass would be enough if it was Anchored.. but we see it fire while moving, and the rounds do not impact the momentum of the object.. (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/bird-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862491)

I'm feeling like I need to watch Steins;Gate again. Maybe I missed something when I watched it the first time :p
What could you have missed..
it's a very straight forward anime, the only reason it was "confusing" was because they told the damn thing backwards, and made unrealistic character interactions..
Like, why did that time travel daughter not reveal her intentions instantly.. would've saved 10 episodes..

I liked the subtle changes in the characters. Like when Kuriso secretly tricks Okabe into drinking something other than Dr. Pepper. :p I would rewatch Steins;Gate for the same reason I would rewatch Scrubs.

I think my issue is, these guys are creating story arcs, for the sake of creating story arcs..
hahahaha.. They intentionally create preposterously unrealistic miscommunications.
And in many animes of late, the characters are extremely slow to act..
In most cases, they could solve problems instantly, within the episode, but they drag this out..

I'm trying to go through the top anime lists, and the majority, despite being fan-promoted as Deep and Thought-provoking, IMO would only be the case for a young-guy..

Black Lagoon is heavy enough for most adults that I know. Might be a tad too heavy for some, definitely nsfw. I'm up to episode seven of the first season so far and I've got to say that I've liked every part of every episode.
It's on the burner..

I'm open to anything other that high-school drama anime
I would have recommended "Darker than Black" but it's no longer there. Sword art Online is a good one, and so is Attack on Titan, but they only have 1 season of that. The Netflix selection has dwindled.
Has there been a particular series made for Older audiences?

I would suggest the Ghost in the Shell movies and series. Not kiddy at all with adult plots containing hacking, espionage etc. I would suggest starting with the original movie if you haven't seen it yet.

Never used crunchyroll... created an account before they gone commercial, but never really use it.
If I wanted to watch one without downloading, I would go to kissanime, totally fine with streaming 1080p if your connection is stable and up to speed.

Is a Crunchy Roll subscription worth it?Used crunchyroll for a long time, it's nice if you want HQ streaming with good subs. I've watched some shows before on other sites with community subs and they can be awful so I just pay unless it's not available on any paid sites.

sorry tp, this show does not have robots... the timeline doesn't have technology advanced enough to have robots...
but this one is a Wit Studio original anime, by the same team that did Attack on Titan, hence many people cite the similarity of the both.
I have not watch it yet, because I cannot stand watching anime episodes per week, it is killing me.

Samurai - Afro Samurai, Samurai Champloo, Samurai X (Rurounin Kenshin)
Ninjas - Basilisk (epic **** ninjas)
Pirates - Hmm... One Piece? But I only watched till episode 14....

i'm up to date with the latest episode
i have a feeling i might be enjoying it more if i didn't see Attack on Titan beforehand, the similarities are everywhere (listing them would be spoiling stuff though)
even disregarding the similarities though, i liked AoT's characters a lot more than i like the characters in KotIF

well, if you want to talk about identical characters..
EVERY anime has identical characters.. hahahahahaha...
There's a very specific anime language they follow..
i've not seen a deviation in ~ 17 years..
Except I guess anime-bewbs have gotten even larger..
Post by: nmur on Thu, 19 May 2016, 22:07:35
yeah definitely but the similarities reach beyond the characters and spread into the plot, it's silly
i'm up to date with the latest episode

Arc the Lad, Birdy the Mighty Decode (2 seasons), Brynhildr in the Darkness (1 season) and Elfen Lied.
Birdy and Brynhildr in the Darkness were complete seasons, but I am disappointed in that they ended with loose ends and with no more seasons.
I watched Elfen Lied because it was by the same created as BinD and people have seen similarities between the two stories. It was very dark and melancholic with lots of blood and child nudity, even pedophilia (vilified, not made fun of).

Post by: GiveCandyy on Wed, 03 August 2016, 04:47:34
shokugeki no soma is pretty cool but I also dislike the ecchi part. Highschool girls with ****ing 34F sized breasts or something makes me unhappy.
Post by: tp4tissue on Wed, 03 August 2016, 14:12:15
I dislike anything that contains ecchi, harrems, lolicon or if the story is around a group of one gender with no romance, and I dislike characters with huge cleavages because the anime always makes their personality so annoying. But that's just me ^-^

Ecchi ftw :thumb: so long as it doesnt mess with the plot too much :-*
I think, the element is a staple in anime,
But, yea you are right that it needs the proper Context.. Something like Queen's Blade and Prison School are just completely pointless ecchi..

Berserk, even if it makes me want to bleach my eyes after watching but still the story's just too good to not watch it.
Mob psycho 100 is probably anime of the year for me.
Food wars s2, nuff said.
Nejimaki Seirei Senki: Tenkyou no Alderamin is pretty cool, nothing amazing but a lot better than the usual war school/harem/whatever bull**** shows.
I'm probably gonna check out 91 days and Planetarian. I had high hopes for Days and Battery but boy was I disappointed.

Looking at the cast list I'm even more confused. It's like they didn't want to completely whitewash the film so they have filled it with some Japanese actors but not in any of the main roles... Pilou Asbæk as Batou and nobody credited as Togusa yet. Colour me confused.
Plus I think it will be CGI's to death to make it as much like the anime's atmosphere as possible. Otherwise it will just be weird as ****.

i think the main issue is There arn't tooo many BUSTY hollywood females who could act..
ScarJo isn't a great actress either, but she's got more xp than the rest..
All the busty ones are well, just busty... hahahahahaha
Still, I think ScarJo is getting way way too old and wrinkly to play makoto.. who is a picture perfect cyborg.

Breast size is not a thing I even considered when thinking about who would play Motoko. Or something I would consider tbh. Just because she's done a few Marvel films doesn't make her a great action star.
Anime has a very strict FORM.. The ratio for Chest/Waist/Hip are defining characteristics for --the characters--
YOU personally may not consider it important.. but the majority of anime fans adhere to the original formula..
And since these fans will compose the main audience base.. When you produce the film, you have to consider that..
This is not to say, the fan sits down and measure, but when you are trying for an adaptation, lack of the proper ratio will draw an un-canny response from the viewer.
This is the same reason why Wonder woman and Supergirl looks weird compared to their comic book counterpart..
Their human body ratios are completely off from their cartoon/ comic version..

I downloaded the two seasons of GITS today (don't worry, I have both sets on DVD as well so it's not piracy) and am four episodes in to season one.
I forgot how much I love this show.
I thought first season was great.. then second one was okkk.... then the second half of the second season just turned into talk-fest... non stop talking about random stuff that while potentially interesting topics on their own really took away from the show, because it did not tie in very well..

I get that. I'm not a huge anime fan as well I guess. Like when people start to name drop in an RPG game (Tera or WoW or whatever is popular at the time) I can't even pronounce 90% of what they mention. Steins;Gate is a close runner up to my favorite (Samurai Champloo) but not quite the same I think.

If it doesn't contain the criteria then I probably wont watch it. Dragon Ball Z does not fit the criteria imo because they are fake ninjas :eek:

What I liked about it was how it lulls you in with spaceships and action sequences and cool characters, then springs a bunch of seriously emotionally affecting stuff on you by surprise. Also the music, obvs. Meh, maybe if I rewatch it now like 100 years after the first time I'll be disappointed.
Champloo wasn't as good. Kids on the Slope was better. Space Dandy was fun, but not in the same league at all. The only thing I can think of that comes close is Ruruoni Kenshin.
So... recommendations?

There is such a thing as pinnacle..
Without radical evolution of human ideology, given enough repetition we exhaust all possible refinements upon any narrow medium.
Having utilized modernity's time wealth dedicated to discover and rarefy anime, we've already reach the epitome of such span.
Therefore, Nothing much could be produced which exceed the Classically forged series such as Bebop and Outlaw Star..

Like the orig GITS movie. The series never really grabbed me tho, and the subsequent movies never lived up to the first.
Psycho Pass I quite liked. Just enough headtrippy philosophy stuff to break the monotony of the action stuff.
I'd forgotten about Michiko to Hatchin - that show was awesome!
thx for the other recs!

Yea, the doll face is very uncanny...

Ayy. Same. It's very well done but for ****s sake :D I mean there were times I could use my imagination to filter out the ****ty doll faces and movements but still.. ****ing hell.
Yea, the doll face is very uncanny...
especially the mouth part...
But there is also a large following behind -freaky- looking things..
With more exposure, I think, it's less scary..
Like, when You've become a grown up and darkness is not frightening anymore.
Clowns > Dolls .. And I'm terrified of clowns :'(

Given what the left out, some people are skeptical on how the could start a season 2 at THAT(spoiler free since you seem to know what they left out). I suspect there will be a season 2, but not until the light novels build up more material. I think they went through 9 volumes for 25 episodes?

If you're looking for a sports series to watch in the meantime, I'd highly recommend Ping Pong.

Tried watching this.. Couldn't get into it.. The reveal is very slow.. and the Secret just does not seem interesting.
The main character has the power to reset from death, is that really the most interesting thing he could be doing given such an immense ability.
So, if we look at Edge of Tomorrow, WAY WAY better use of that ability. and it's all wrapped up in an hour..

I don't know how anyone can believe that it's going to continue publishing on a regular schedule every time it comes back from hiatus. At this point, considering the release pattern and sheer scale of the story, I'm confident that Miura will die before the series is finished.
Unless he absolutely butchers it and horrifically rushes things, but even then, it'd take a huge Deus ex machina for Guts to somehow beat Griffith quickly right now, which would go against the whole point of Guts's character.

You can watch it, if you find it horrible watch the movies and the old anime. And if you don't like them you can read the manga :) If you read the manga I think you'd prefer the manga over all of those adaptations :D

IMO, more berserk is good berserk. even if people don't like the newest season, it doesn't make the previous works worse by any means. I, myself, quite enjoyed the new series (although they could have focused more on fighting imo). Others, however, seemed to really really really really really really really really really really really really really dislike the CG (I have no problem with CG).

Finished a marathon of Orange last night. The topics it dealt with hit very close to home, but I can't help but feel like they ****ed up making the characters so oblivious to everything. Anyone else give it a watch?
I kept up with it this season. Yeah the main girl was especially annoying... but I've gotten used to those types of characters hahah. Overall pretty good though, emotional with a nice wrapped up ending.

ReLIFE, was very enjoyable, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure's current season is very good. This past season's Shokugeki had great pacing (the manga is pretty insane rn), Mob Psycho was really good (better than OPM imo).

Haven't seen Keijo yet, but one of my friends has been very hype for the manga for a long time.
Another friend of mine has been a big Sangatsu no Lion. They're both roommates and close friends of mine, and it's curious to see that the respective manga series that they both hype are animated this season.

Been watching Ajin and Iron Blooded Orphans, thats about it this season. Know any shows that might be similar?
Little out of the loop these days... did they make anything as good as Cowboy Bebop yet?If you're still searching; Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi maybe? Nothing like Bebop, but light hearted and quite funny.
What I liked about it was how it lulls you in with spaceships and action sequences and cool characters, then springs a bunch of seriously emotionally affecting stuff on you by surprise. Also the music, obvs. Meh, maybe if I rewatch it now like 100 years after the first time I'll be disappointed.
Champloo wasn't as good. Kids on the Slope was better. Space Dandy was fun, but not in the same league at all. The only thing I can think of that comes close is Ruruoni Kenshin.
So... recommendations?

Been really enjoying DavidPro's work on DiU overall. It's great seeing some of my favorite moments recaptured, especially in the color palettes they've been using for the show. The introduction of Kai Harada to the anime also really helps enhance the small town feel of the arc, in my opinion, and connect some of the more loose chapters together.
Also just started Flying Witch, about two episodes in. I love me some iyashikei.

Is now that Naruto is over...
And..... Fullmetal alchemist has that kid searching for other dimensions/universes..
They should do a mashup...
Oh man... that would be so cool..
Then explain chakra in terms of equivalent exchange, for example everytime you summon a the big frog.. Another entire village is forfeited in exchanged in another dimension..
Then realizing this, Naruto sets out to abolish ninjutsu sealing it away for all time..
And this develops into the setting for modern humans with no magical powers..
BUT THEN, space aliens.. And we need to resurrect ninjutsu, and a secret clan who has preserved the knowledge emerges, but they need to find some Hero Unit with the right bloodline trait...
Man , making anime is so easy.. why isn't everyone doing this..

anyone got any suggestions for cyberpunk anime outside of GitS? looking for shows over movies. i've been watching a bunch of shonen stuff lately and want something a bit more cerebral.
cowboy bebop is cyberpunk to some extent, just a great show overall.
psycho-pass is a great show which, if you enjoyed GitS SAC you will probably love.
Serial experiments lain is also an interesting show with cyberpunk themes

Tokyo Ghoul anime is ****ing garbage, the manga is much better but overall I just don't like the series. The writer is very talented though.
Yuri On Ice isn't bait so if you're into that kind of thing then it's probably the best anime of the season.
Psycho Pass is good, Lain is also good but very different.
Personally I'm caught up reading the Haikyuu manga right now since season 3 ended, I'm sad that Euphonium is over, I should watch Flip Flappers, and next season looks like trash.

I gave up on projection because of the struggle with light pollution..
So I noticed that if you want the best image on screen, you need to remove all other sources of light, and have dark surfaces..
So Then I painted a room in my basement black, ceiling, floor, wall..
Now, I have no light pollution, the image looks good.. but then I realized, that whenever the scene transitioned from dark to light, my eyes hurt because of the contrast..
So I have to put SOME lights SOME where to keep my iris open enough, such that the dark scene and light scene don't cause eye strain..
now We've come full circle,.. I go remove the lights, but Now I still need more god damn lights..
Eventually, gave up.. went back to the TV.. hahahahhahaha
Post by: tp4tissue on Tue, 10 January 2017, 14:38:04
Projection technology is actually a throwback.. to when we couldn't cast controlled light onto a surface by other means..
And it has persisted due to the nearly Unlimited size limited only by the power of the lamp..
This makes sense for a theater.... because they make money with 1 screen and a hundred seats..
But for Home, there's no advantage to use projection, when a TV set provides equivalently precise image in all lighting conditions..
And now that we got affordable 70, 80 inch tvs.. there's almost no reason to go with projection for home use..

Post by: tp4tissue on Tue, 10 January 2017, 14:59:43
I really wanted a large screen, so I got a projector with a 100 inch screen for it. Though you're definitely right about light being an issue, I can't quite get that size with tvs yet, at least not in the same price range.
I went as far as considering rear projection.. Just cut a 100 inch hole in the wall.. But by the time this was happening.. Prices have come down enough that the labor was too much ..
70" 4k tvs are $1000 on sale these days.. a good one can be had for $2500, a good projector with 4k and good blacks starts around $2500 add in cost of motorized screen, room decor, lamps down the line.. potential repairs.. it's about the same price..
I've seen the 80 inch go to $2500

have been watching haibane renmei recently, great show. any more recommendations for laid back slice of life anime without characters who arent basically caricatures to make up for bland personalities?
That's television in general.. Because if the characters are not designed in narrow ways, it makes their decisions arbitrary and meaningless, in that way, they would be even less relate-able to the audience

haibane renmei is great because their personalities are so realistic, and the characters all have subtle traits which make them more unique and interesting then making characters super hyped up and exaggerated. not to say there are no shows with caricatures that are good (welcome to the nhk for instance) but most of the time its poorly executed and just gets annoying. another example of a series that doesnt need to rely on making unbelievable personalities is beck, where the main character is just an ordinary kid making his way into the world of music. its so much more interesting to see how someone reacts to strange scenarios and trying to read the motives of a characters actions especially if the character is actually modeled after regular humans.

Maybe, who knows. It's mix of actual WW1&2 history and fantasy.
My WW history is rusty at best but for now it kinda has very vaguely followed some events of WW1 and the season ends near the turning point of the war.
The Russians, British and Americans are yet to join the party.

It's not really a battle anime though. I think it's refreshing to follow a morally ambiguous (cough psychopath) MC who is purely looking out for herself. Is she truly evil? She doesn't seem to enjoy killing people or want to risk being killed but being a soldier was still really the only opportunity she could've gotten as an orphan girl in such age. Also, fact is that killing people is the most effective way to advance in her career path during war time. She also takes pride in excelling at something which in this case happens to be war.
I don't know man, maybe I'm just a sucker for some edgelord ****..

I recently picked up Gankutsuou, and having read the Count of Monte Cristo before, it's a really good adaption of the original novel, a very creative take on the original. In fact, I'm obsessed with this anime right now... I'm a sucker for these sort of stories :P

I'm ok with the animation, but i just don't understand what's happening, why is gutz walking everywhere, why not just buy some horses and a cart, and ride to where them monsters are..
By the time he gets to saving the girl, she'd be like, hey yea.. sorry gutz, I'm already married with 4 kids with this other devil monster thing..
Where were u buddy ?
Gutz be like, shiiet I get coach sickness, so I couldn't buy some horses and a coach to come rescue you..
the girl be like, well, i can offer you a job for -the dark side--..
Gutz be like, welll, u got a sister or something?

Neo Tokyo's running man is one of my favorites.
I am really into older anime from the 70s, 80s, 90s, some early 2000s works.
Agreed we need more mech anime again.
Love this opening shot to Metal Skin Panic, hand drawn and painted cel animation has a certain quality to it that modern digital tech can't touch.
Also watching Outlaw Star again since I was 13. It still holds up, great show.

I used to be very into anime in my youth, with the initial wave of island/manga video VHS into the UK. Generally all 15 or 18 rated cos that's what the people wanted apparently. Fist o' the North Star, Urotsukidoji, etc. Eva. Paid over the odds for some bubblegum crisis (£20 per episode!) on import. Also obtained Ghibli stuff somehow. But pretty much fell out of it for the past 10 years or so, apart from Ghibli features and a few bits here n there. But recently watched Golden Boy and loved it. Can anyone recommend anything I might like in the Golden Boy vein?
Golden Boy is one of a kind. It's amazing.

Cheers for the rec, I'll give it a go. Not too keen on the art style tbh.
Thinking about it, I reckon I should probably try to watch stuff I didn't have access to way back (because of no internet), but which always looked really cool. 80's 90's stuff. Like Lupin and Hajime No Ippo.

My Hero Academia Season 2 has been absolutely killing it, phenomenal adaptation. The last part of the Sports Festival arc and the Stain arc are some of my favorite parts from the manga, and seeing how well the character development and hype of these arcs were translated into animation, I have been quite thrilled. The series really is doing shounen justice and has more than deserved its spot in the new Big Three.
Made in Abyss has been nothing short of gorgeous, with excellent worldbuilding and atmosphere. Episode 10 was also some of the most uncomfortable I've been when watching anime since the first time I saw Perfect Blue. If it wasn't sharing a season with My Hero S2, this would be Anime of the Season for me, hands down.
Welcome to the Ballroom has been a lot of fun so far, and I love seeing the spirit of sports shounen being put into less "traditional" sports, like Ping Pong the Animation and Kokou no Hito.
Kakegurui has been okay so far, it's been tough trying to scratch that Akagi and Kaiji itch these days.

These entertainment packs are cringy for adults, but for kids, there is no normal set of behaviors and cliches , so to them, there is no cringe.. the majority of cringe is a learned behavior...
It's like pewdiepie, his behavior and mannerism is retarded in the eyes of an adult, but children see it, and they just see a clown, and they're ok with that..
Adults just haven't gotten used to the idea of a clown without a costume.. that's what pewdiepie is.. he's the latest iteration of clowning + internet..
Adults live in a world with a narrow set of what constitutes cordial behavior.
Clowning is allowed, but it is normally signaled, originally with costume and context.
Pewdiepie, is a clown, but he does not display the traditional signals and context, That is why there is a love-and-hate relationship.
For example.. if you started rubbing your stomach and patting yourself on the head in front of your boss for no reason.. You'd be fired..
But if it's during a game of charades, it is fine..
Pewdiepie dresses normal, his setup is normal, so you'd expect normal decorum and behavior, but then he speaks in a funny voice, and makes weird noises.. That is a breach of societal norms..

Fall season!

Kekkai Sensen S2
3gatsu no lion S2
Food Wars S2
Himouto Cancer-chan S2
Then a few gems like Ancient Magus Bride and Houseki no Kuni.
Black clover should be pretty dope too.
I'm at maximum hype for Ancient Magus Bride. Huge fan of the manga, caught the theatrical showing of the first three episodes a couple months ago, and I've been extremely pleased with the adaptation so far.
3-gatsu no Lion S2 is something I've been very much looking forward to (and dreading in a good way) as well.
Also started Children of the Whales, looks very promising (but in a "this'll either be great or a great disappointment", no other way).
In terms of other shows this season, I'll be checking out Black Clover and Inuyashiki, been meaning to read the manga for them. I was also very excited for the new season of Kino no Tabi, but I've been hearing less-than-encouraging stuff on it from friends...
Since I hadn't posted about finishing them here, for last season, I finished My Hero Academia S2 and Made in Abyss. MHA S2 gave me everything I wanted and more, an overall superb adaptation of the manga and was, for most of its run, my pick for AotS and one of the strongest frontrunners for AotY. Made in Abyss, however, came in and stole it for me. I was absolutely blown away as it went on, floored by the beauty and grandeur of the Abyss and the worldbuilding (easily some of the best I've seen in any anime or manga, takes me back to the first time I read Wizard of Earthsea), a cast of very strong characters, and an amazing soundtrack. My AotY pick is likely going to be between this and Ancient Magus Bride.

Action's pretty good.. mech design is great.
I'm not digging the Latest trend for Sis-con.. Onechan type story arcs..
But I suppose this is just the natural progression of things when an entire generation of fandom is raised in ever escalating --perversion-- (not sure on wording).
Post by: tp4tissue on Sat, 20 January 2018, 19:08:10
I'm honestly not sure why it needs to go so far.
Jesus. what is this.. do they really need this ridiculous sub-text for women to wear high heels ? hahahaha
I bet the animators are all getting together discussing, ok, High heels make NO SENSE in a pilot flight suit.
But our demographics show 80% of anime fans have feet fetishes, THEREFORE, all female pilots will go into this combat prep apparatus, and it makes them wear high heels..
hahahahahahaha

Just watched all 10 episodes of Devilman Crybaby. Pretty ****ing great. Gonna have to watch some more of Masaaki Yuasa stuff. His art style is fantastic in this, as well as the episodes of Adventure Time and Space Dandy that he directed.
Been a Devilman fan for decades, but the animation is soooo freaking bad in Crybaby.

I definitely agree. They managed to keep the side characters relevant and interesting (except a couple), and I definitely respect that in a plot driven show.

IMHO, anime should not be watched on color correct monitors.. It's overall muted..
Whereas the messed up calibrations of factory set tvs look better with the blown out contrast / saturation.

Popteamepic has been pretty much over hypes, I am a fan of bkub and read PTE since the start but its pretty much what I expected the anime to be.
Darling in the Franxx is half done, its ok I suppose but something needs to happen soon because so far its basically just been about cuckolding.

This season only has a few weeks left, I've enjoyed the Junji ito anime despite how low quality it is. Its very faithful to the stories it has told and has done some super niche ones as well as a couple of favourites of mine.

Sequels/Prequels for: SnK, Tokyo Ghoul, Steins Gate, BnHA, Food Wars.
Gems like: Hinamatsuri, Golden Kamuy, Major 2nd, Megalo Box.
Also, a Captain Tsubasa remake ?? + a new Inazuma Eleven season.
And those are only the ones that I'm expecting, there're probably many pleasant surprises as well.

Was very disappointed with the first episode of My Hero Academia episode 1.
It was more like one of those .5 recap episodes.
Reminds me of the children's shows where they think the viewers need reminders because they think the viewers have low attention spans or haven't followed the series through.

BnHA progressively gets darker, this episode is just general shounen **** that is plugged into popular shows
BnHA gets bout 50% as dark as bule exorcist if you read the manga so far, and the seriousness actually gets somewhere
IMO, bnha is a decent show, kind of like ratman but newer and a bit better you gotta plow thru the boring bits sometimes
But I'm a hardcore seinen fan, so I'm biased

I discovered by accident today that Steins;Gate 0 is a thing, so I immediately downloaded the first 9 episodes since the original is one of my top three favorite anime ever. Hopefully 0 lives up to the original's legacy. ;D0 has lived up to my expectations so far! The concept is really neat and they did a good job with the emotions, in my opinion. I'm really excited to see where it goes from here, and I feel pretty positive that it will be close to the quality of the original.

Nah, not if you consider the whole package. Animation itself has gotten significantly better in some areas; but I would agree that as we become more familiar with the same tropes a lot of them can become "samey-samey".
But stories, many of them are as old as time and follow the same "hero story" (the literary concept of story development) so you can't expect much.

The new Castlevania episodes are excellent, it's almost as if they listened to what all the fans of the series were suggesting after season 1. Amazing, great fan service, totally geeked out.

The art is anime, and the anime is art.
Upon viewing, it washes over your mind. Not quite a feeling, not a message, not a story, not an experience., Rather it's a thorough demonstration of the incredibly refined-EYE of jpn animation.

Well.. it's noir-colored, so nothing sharp haha..
Tp4 = poorly educated, and so w0rds no good.
Merely trying to convey that , it's an anime that is completely familiar, and so the plot is invisible, or at most a shadow of the whole; even without a standard architecture. the smoothness, composition and framing of the scenes create a genuine sense of flow..

It generally takes me a long time to watch "hyped" shows, with that being said; I've got hooked on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and it's super good. The power schemes didn't really do it for me at first in concept, but the whole series has a comedic aspect to it (aside from the on the nose jokes) that has made it really enjoyable. Definitely recommend.
The manga is terrific, but during and after the fifth arc it gets way--too-long. The second and fourth arcs are my favorite. The fifth is when Araki gets bat-s**t nuts. Over the top nuts.
I've never watched the anime.

Mmmmmm... I'm still not digging the 720x405 resolution that they scanned the show in at..
Overall it looks good on my 16" viewable CRT, but not great on the big screen.
Also, just noticed this supposed signature of the character Junkdog.
This is highly improbable a signature for this character.. The strokes and pauses are too highly refined, indicative of an experienced calligrapher rather than a bookless fighter.

Not nearly as bad as korean-boy-bands which is a very odd phenomenon that's occurred. Highlighting the modern rise of feminism and proliferation of the new fujoshi culture.

They also animated K-ON! (cute girls doing cute things) among other fuwa fuwa moe shows like Lucky Star!
Their recent movies are great too, aaa their main director Naoko Yamada has crafted beautiful cinematography in Tamako Love Story, Koe no Katachi, and most recently, Liz to Aoi Tori.
Another note, I am also a great big fan of Satashi Kon's and Mamoru Oshii's works!

Yea, it definitely gets slow, season 2 is similar in that regard. It's been quite a bit of stuff focused more on character growth. Also, One Punch and Mob have the same original author, but they followed the original art much more closely in the animation in Mob iirc

Ok so they're using 10bit dithering on encodes with a debanding filter, Good for 8bit banding, But it Washes out the Texture Detail and so they have to Turn on Sharpening, But then the Sharpening not only sharpens edges, it also sharpens the Artifacts.

Hahahaha.. This is something only LONG TIME anime watchers would understand.
Fundamentally, Your eyes only has ~ 1 degree of peak foveal vision.
If you look down at subs, that's 5-10degree shift, you are losing approximately ~50% of the eye's resolution.
Semi transparent subs in the middle of the screen is the best.
When the subs are on the bottom, it doesn't matter that it's blocking nothing, your processing ability is essentially losing more of the frame.

For PC playback, Madvr is the highest quality renderer. It only works through Kodi or Mpc HC. (Better on MPC than kodi).
So overall.. that's why it's the go to.
VLC/MPV/Gom/ etc arn't fundamentally bad, but their render quality is not anywhere near madvr.

Unfortunately I use MPV; might look into reworking my setup so that I can use MPC-HC unless I can figure it out with MPV.
What GPU and CPU do you have firebolt.
I currently have a 4670k and 7970.
tp4, what media player do you use and how do you get the subtitles in the middle with slight transparency?
Mmmhmhmmhmm.. Tp4 only uses bestest media player.
MPC-HC.
There's also MPC-BE now, but it's for the moment, less compatible. stick to HC.
When you're in the player, open up a file (with subtitles), then right-click on the player screen - subtitle track - options - > (left panel), default style -> right panel screenalignment, click the center bubble, beneath that color/transparency - > Primary -> lower to 50%
Then go back to the player screen and click subtitle track again, but this time click default style, so that it enables your settings, which override the settings inside the anime-file itself.

You don't need plex to stream files.
You can just use file sharing in windows 10.
With a monitor that's not 1080p or 4K native, you will definitely see a huge image quality improvement with Madvr, because it has the best video scaling capability on PC.

I'm using mpv only because I'm using plex (I feel like I have a valid reason for it,although I can easily replace it with a samba sharedid a little reading and found out I probably shouldn't have samba over different networks). Maybe I'll switch back over to MPC-HC and madVR.
Well in the defense of MPV, it's literally the only player that allows me to view 60fps on old hardware (hd5450/RS960M). Crazy optimized.

No, but if you activate DXVA on other players, you can run 60fps 1080p on nearly any budget GPU.
It's just that some Players (well many) do not use DXVA hardware acceleration by default because it's not great quality. But it's very fast,

Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 14 February 2019, 18:23:13
Make sure to configure Lav-filter in DX11 mode if you're using windows 10 and decoding 4K files, If you're not doing 4K, then you can just use CPU decode in LAV
I would give you the mpchc reg setting from my setup, Buhhhhh apparently peeps don' trust the Tp4 w/ messing with dere' registry.
(https://i.imgur.com/KJAc0O4.gif)
These settings should consume nearly 100% of your 7970's processing power, If you've got some background program inefficiencies, you may have to drop the NGU upscaling setting to - medium - .
But fundamentally, we're putting all the eggs into NGU, because it's the latest and greatest AI trained Scaling algorithm. Unparalleled img sharpness.

Hahaha, No you don't have terribad eyes.
It's just slightly harder to see the difference on Anime, because it has mostly low-frequency information.
That is to say, because some animes have more Flat-color patches, the advantage of a Sharper, Higher quality processor is not _as Obvious_.
This is especially true of Anime-Encodes, because the decrease in bit-rate further flattens texture.
Let me download MPV and I will post an example comparison.

Thanks tp4! I remembered that my goal was to have centered subtitles with slight transparency, so I'm going to use MPC-HC and madVR anyways :p :p
When you run MPCHC, in that ctrl-j menu, check your render-times at the bottom, if they're over 40ms, the renderer will drop frames. it will be listed under dropped frames, so if you see dropped frames climbing up, then you may need to lower the NGU setting to medium.
HOWEVER, the other option is Overclocking the 7970 to it's maximum. Which is around 1150mhz on most cards, some can reach higher.
You need MSI afterburner, slide core voltage and power limit all the way to the right, Don't worry about blowing up the card, the card has auto limiter, it will never blown up from software power settings.
Then on the frequency slider, go to 1150.
You don't need to OC the Vram for madvr, it makes no difference.

Nothing is more pleasing to watch than construction, road construction, sewage construction, aquaduct construction, Bridge, Castle, and so on.
Power creep characters are OLD... it's been going on forever, and you'd just end up with something like FATE which is unrealistic, or DBZ SUPER which is realistic, but then impossible to sustain.
Humanoid characters are not terribly interesting and their scope regardless of pwr lvl is limited, because they can not act on a grand scale. They can only narrowly focus on objects as if managing personal assets. Yet they are each oblivious to the fact that the grand external is the superior lifeform.

Don't worry, you've still got Arise (separate universe, more modern animation).
There's rumors of m0ar NEW major being made, but anime production is slow outside of the cheap tropes.

And before mpg, we had .RM , christ.. Real media.. ugh... I remember watching flame of recca years later, and didn't even recognize it, because I saw it originally on .RM .. the quality was so bad, I thought I watched a different anime.
Man, had the x30 forever, until it was finally completely dead.
I even remember buying sets of VCD anime, my god, they crammed 10 episodes per CD..

Pepperidge Farm and his ATI All-in-Wonder 128 Pro remembers divx. That PC also doubled as a giant beige DVR too :p
Oh man.. what was it, 9700 pro AIOW, when Media center windoz came out, I were tapn' my shows on Toonami.
It was faster than downloading the episodes on kazaa..
Eventually I changed it out for a x1900xtx with Vivo, but I had to get a separate hauppauge tuner. S-video was pretty decent on pc monitors. I can't remember if the software/ vivo chip had a comb filter, pretty sure it did.

Honestly, the whole premise is Surprisingly similar to Meth/Amphet salt/Ritalin/Adderall use / addiction... Once you've tried it, you fight for it.
It came out not too long ago, a synthetic, man created drug...
It accelerates focus / drive through pleasure hijacking, bring the person to a different reality / plain of perception
It can be used to WIN fights, get Better Grades, etc..
Not sure this is a positive world view/ plot device for young people.

Well, the new OPM season looks like **** :D Crappy details on the characters and the fight scenes are just shaky camera effect cranked to 11.
The scanning resolution looks higher. maybe it looks less detailed because they're using more computer shading ? I notice a heavy application of gradients vs OPM 1
The first episode wasn't the same lvl of action as last season.. it shoullld ramp up though.

In spite of the studio change, I am still enjoying One Punch Man S2; it's been fun seeing how they animate the manga. The differences between webcomic and other representations have been interesting to see as well.
S2 definitely doesn't feel as Extravagant. less use of specular highlights.

Strongly agree with your point. Sometimes it feels really dated; It might be coming from the art style in which the characters are drawn though.

I don't think I agree that it looks like ****. Like any studio is has it's low budget looking moments.

S2 overall was a let down if I'm being honest, I really tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, and while there was some okay action at the end and I enjoyed quite a bit of the humor throughout; it didn't feel as climactic as S1. Not sure if I'm more annoyed by the visuals now that it's over or the fact they split the arc into another season. Naivety goes a long way I guess.
Silver lining(potentially) is that Garo vs OPM won't be animated by these guys next time.

The art style is highly inferior to S1, there is no way around that. I do agree with your previous assessment that it was lazily drawn by today's standards.

anyway, just watched One Punch S2 and boy what a let down after such a long hiatus. I was expecting the writers to be cooking up some phenomenal anime-trope breaking plot, but instead they took one of the few animes parodying animes and made it just like every other anime. What a ****ing let down, and how completely boring.
I guess I expected too much out of a series that hinged on the mc being a mcguffin, but they could have at least TRIED to make the 2nd season interesting or different than every other "superheroes live amongst us" anime out there. I don't even care about the conclusion of this ****ty hero killer plot.
One Punch, you're just another basic ***** now :(

Didn't really like mob 100 all that much, even S1, but then it just got kinda lame in S2
But overall, the problem is that it's probably meant for younger people, and Tp4 is just old.

Am I the only one who thinks Evangelion is super boring, and all the characters are really dislikeable and annoying? Really some of the most annoying characters ever.
Overall, mechas are not as tied to the story as other anime genres.
Mecha fans only need enough plot to Tie all the mecha tech and upgrade paths together.
None of the other stuff really matters as long as the Mechas look Kewl..

Oof, You're trying to make me rewatch stuff. I'll say... It has Berserk vibes for me personally, in that, I like Berzerk for similar reasons as this show. Dark Ages, Vikings..Great story. It's quite gory. I'm surprised it was on amazon prime as well.
So hm. Berserk, without demons? The action that it has is good, but it's not -hyper-stylized or the main draw of the anime; but more represented as if these characters were larger than life and someone was telling a story about the characters.. "And then! He picked up a stick as big as a tree! And hurled it at his enemies!". Exaggerated, but based in reality I would describe it.
Even if you didn't like it; it would be interesting to hear a perspective counter to everyone else's so far.

This clip from Blood C is pretty brutal.
Shock horror wise, the most uncomfortable movie I've watched is most likely "A Serbian Film"; However I don't remember if it's truly that gory, but just extremely uncomfortable to watch. If you haven't seen the film, I would absolutely not watch it.
I only mentioned the gore about Vinland, as a friend of mine who I recommended it to is not a fan of gore at all, so I had to preface his watch with that warning.
Dang, checking out some of these top goriest anime lists, I actually haven't seen quite a few of them and now I have a new quest. This video has some nutty ones too:

Younger Tp4 didn't understand the anime at all.
Older Tp4 has more life-xp to project in terms of interpretations. But overall, it's not very clear if the author (Yoshiyuki Sadamoto) really had a profound sub-plot. If he did, it was not cohesively formed, a few scattered ideas based on the dangers of the nuclear triad as perceived in the early era. Of course Today, we know that the triad is not philosophical, it is merely a skyscraper built without toilets. <hahahahahah>
Looking at the -discussions- by the work's fan, Tp4 isn't high/mighty, but these fans are almost certainly only superficially intelligent and short on books..

Pacing. it gets to a point as an anime fan that we've seen all the tropes, and when they do reveals at a novice-watcher's pace, it's a major drag, regardless of how well it's done.
Vs something Crass and vapid like OVerlord, at the very least, overlord delivers FAST, you know it's going to happen, but it takes less than an episode to get there.

I can see that; still need to set aside time to watch Overlord. Tower of God just came out; I like the animation style; the manga was entertaining, and I'm just hoping they don't pull a OPM in s2.

Redline was one I was very happy to add to my bluray collection. I can watch it as much as I love watching Desert Punk and Hellsing.
OUTLAW Star > Cowboybebop.

Jujutsu Kaisen is a new one (about 12-13 episodes out atm), also great. Fun, fast paced.
I recently watched a few things like Neon Genesis, Koe no Katachi, Mononoke Hime, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, Violet Evergarden, and Vinland Saga.
Neon Genesis was great, I was pretty confused about some stuff - had to go back and rewatch certain episodes. The movie definitely cleared up a lot of things. I can see why people claim its overrated, and I can also see why people claim its a masterpiece.
Koe no Katachi was a lovely film, so was Mononoke Hime and Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi. My first experiences with Ghibli films, love the way they tell a story and animation is always eyecatching.
Violet Evergarden was interesting albeit slow. I still enjoyed it, not something I would rant and rave about however.
Vinland Saga was awesome, always loved Viking shows/Norse mythology (I guess you can tell by my forum name lol). Was very refreshing to see an anime hitting this theme up! Definitely an anime I would recommend even to someone who doesn't watch anime.

OUTLAW Star > Cowboybebop.
I put Bebop in it's own category - more a fan of the artist creator than the storyline. Also a fan of Samurai Champloo and the Brazillian series (can't remember it's name at the moment).

Trigun is a very different genre vs OStar and Cbop. Is it a better anime, mmmmmmm.... I honestly don't remember, will check

Am I the only one who thinks Evangelion is super boring, and all the characters are really dislikeable and annoying? Really some of the most annoying characters ever.Evangelion is... something that makes more sense in context. Anno has struggled with lifelong depression, and the desire to run away from his problems - fears and struggles he places on Shinji. Coupled with a distaste of the state of the mecha genre on the whole at the time, you end up with what is largely commentary on how ridiculous the idea is that you would ever put adolescents in giant robots to save the world. And if you were to do so, it could only be done at the hands of deeply flawed and damaged people, which then pass on those flaws and damages to the adolescents, on top of the trauma they receive from being forced into combat in life or death situations.
There's not really any characters in it that are supposed to be "good" - even the most likeable adults are objectively pretty horrible people when you step back and look at it, and the kids are a product of an awful environment that could not have been better designed to leave them dysfunctional. You're largely supposed to feel sympathy and pity for Shinji and Asuka, and perhaps a little bit of admiration for when they can overcome their circumstances and show some measure of triumph and human connection.
But none of them are intended to be likable.

It does do that thing I hate where an anime pads out scenes and recaps previous events incessantly, I hate that lazy ****. They always recap the previous ep at the beginning, and there was one early episode where they did that, then twice more in the middle of the show recapped the same exact ****. Come on man. Or when Luffy spent 3 episodes underwater drowning, it does that Jojo thing where short time is drawn out crazy long and huge gaps in time are just skipped over.
But mostly the characters are fun and diverse, it's easy to leave on and half pay attention while working. IDK how the creator has done 1000 manga issues and approaching 1000 episodes and 17 movies in like 22 years. That's a lot of work.

did someone say evangelionInteresting video! There's a few problems with it, however:
my fav youtuber, always has some very interesting points (even if like 60% of the comments are just calling him wrong lol)
The "death threats" and graffiti at the Gainax offices occurred after Death and Rebirth, not the original series. By this point, End of Evangelion was pretty much finished - Death & Rebirth were released in March 97, and EoE came out 4 months later in July - it would have been well into the post production phase at that point. In fact, Rebirth is largely just the 25 minutes of EoE. As for the death threats themselves, in an interview with the Tokyo International Film Festival, Anno said that the letters and emails sent were written by Gainax staff, as they didn't believe they legally could use real fan mail. They've also all been translated, and the majority of what was written in the letters and emails were actually positive, though there were a few that were decidedly negative. It hasn't been said anywhere if the ratio of the "faked" letters matched what they really got.
Another problem is that Anno has repeatedly stated in interviews, even after EoE, that Shinji is a surrogate for himself. If EoE is Anno's way of taking revenge against anyone, it's not his audience.
The other issue is that EoE is at least in part based off of the original scripts written for the series. In the 'Red Cross Book' given to theatergoers for EoE, it explains that the first part of the movie is based off of the original script for episode 25 that they had to scrap.
I do think his overall characterization of Shinji and Asuka is spot on, though.

Super Cub, it's a slice of life anime about an orphan girl who buys a Honda Super Cub, (motor scooter).
She discovers new life and friendship which evolves from the motorized freedom.
It's slow paced and very well made. Yeaaaa it's a chic flic, but if masculinity isn't a problem, quite watchable for all.

I will never not post this when someone mentions that ungrateful ***** ass ShinjiShow Image(http://cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/106/106133.jpg)
LMAO, I never thought about Shinj’s relationship to his Dad this way.

So, 1st appearance, vegeta and nappa claimed saiyans were conquering planets and selling them.
But that doesn't make any sense, What would they need with money, when they're powerful enough to just take things.
Also, let's say a planet is worth alot of money. What exactly would someone like vegeta even buy ? It's not going to be food/ gasoline/ Anything that's usable by him personally he could just take, and he'd already have um at that point. Since vegeta can't ever consume a planet's worth of resources, it makes no sense that he'd bother selling a planet, what would he do with that sum of money.

They are doing that because they are forced to act as a slave army for the Frieza race/King Cold, not for the money at all. They say that prior to being enslaved they would take resources from other planets that planet Vegeta didn't have a lot of, so that was their main motivation per-enslavement and destruction.

again, the same plot hole remains even if frieza was in the picture, why would THEY bother doing what they're doing given their already god lvl powers.
a god has no need for all the activity they were engaged in.
For example, beerus, makes sense. he's mostly solo, and just sleeps alot.
Frieza, even vegeta is basically the same relative to their own intellect and the average power lvl of their respective universes..

Only the direct King Cold family have those extreme powers, like Cooler and Frieza are stated to be 'mutants' of their race. That's their thing though, they own planets and either sell or enslave them after conquering them. I think they just get off on being like that, since they've been doing it for hundreds of years. Once Freiza goes gold he kinda stops caring about being a conqueror and focuses on just getting stronger than Goku.
The economic system is a problem throughout the dbz universe, their motivations made sense at the god level, but once you get closer to the ground interactions with lower mortals, none of it is reasonable.

Do they take alot of droogs to write these plots. ?
I mean, yea it's by design abstract and relies on the audience's own experience to extrapolate, but why is this format necessary.
At times, an abstraction may be more digestible than explicit truth, but when you're dealing cataclysm, nothing can be more obvious at this point, it comes off as redundant and wordy.

Cowboy Bebop live action gets canceled, and One Piece live action announces $10 million per episode budget 🤔
I'm glad they canceled it before they embarrassed themselves further...
One piece, sigh... it's almost certainly going to be bad.
