Nicca please!
either way, it'll be better than the watchmen. day one.
TETSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
fffuuuck if this wasn't made stanley kubrick would've risen to directed this with an all japanese cast and nathan fillion as tesuo and kristin bell as kei and christian bale as the colonel but they had to fcuking ruin it :mafYeah I get most of you arent anime/manga/asian cinema fans and I wont get into it too deeply on here (well maybe with bep and mr. G) but this is pretty fucking stupid and it's shitting on the fans of the original content as 99.9% of hollywood remakes of eastern properties do. All they do is alienate the built in user base and make potential new fans laugh at the absurdity of it all. Either make something new from the millions of scripts flying around Hollywood or get the fuck out with this shit trend of fucking around with stuff people care about.
real talk, akira's pretty fucking terrible to begin withAkira isnt exactly my favorite, but it doesnt deserve this fate :/
who cares what hollywood does with it
real talk, akira's pretty fucking terrible to begin withehhh... it's considered a classic, so I can't really call it terrible. It's just bizarre as hell.

It has some really great moments, and the first half, IMO, is fantastic. I mean, the scene where Tetsuo escapes from his cell is so goddamn great. I feel that it kinda falls apart towards the end though.
Haters just got OWNED. Akira is awesome from start to finish.

Tetsuo demolishes a tank with his MIND and rips off a piece from a flag or something to make a CAPE.
The thing about Akira -- as in, the film -- is that it's one awesome action set piece after another. If you ignore the plot and concentrate on the action scenes, it is INSANELY awesome. Even then, I don't see what's so wrong the plot in general.
The manga is considerably better, better paced and better developed, but Akira is a great movie.
It's much like Commando. Commando's plot is distinguished mentally-challenged. But it's so fucking awesome you don't give a shit.
I mean, look what happens in these two hours:
- iconic bike chase
- creepy kids who look like they're 100 years old
- riots
- dude shooting dogs, and getting shot up with a billion bullets
- crazy psychic kid destroys buildings with his MIND
- creepy government experiments
- ANOTHER gang fight
- the assault on the government compound in the sewers, holy shit the MUSIC
- tetsuo's milk/dream nightmare and the awakening of his powers
- tetsuo's rampage on his old friends.
- mass pandomonium and riots.
- tetsuo grabs a fucking cape and nukes a tank, demolishes bridges.
- laser from space.
- kaneda vs tetsuo
- tetsuo morphs into a blob monster
- keneda vs tetsuo AGAIN
- "Kaneda! Kaori's dead! I can't feel her heartbeat!" :bow
Akira OWNS. It is jam-packed with so much COOL SHIT. Whoever tries to dismiss the film because of "story" and "plot" is missing the entire fucking point, and even if they do have a point, this does not discount the utter insanity that occurs in the film.
How is it possible to misinterpret Commando? It HAS no plot. But it's AWESOME. Why? Awesome action scenes. Awesome shit goes down. Some movies you just turn your brain off and want to see awesome crap going down. Akira is one of those films.

i know i'm in the minority, though when it comes to anime and its viewers, other people's opinions mean shit, but i personally love the plot of the film and especially the manga. it is the animation (SEE WHAT I DID THERE) equivalent of blade runner. the story isn't just about the relationship between kaneda and tetseuo, but how the visuals, music, style, mis es scene, and every other little aspect of the film that comes together to create such an amazing world which tells a story itself.
no no nono onono. that's the kind of thinking that leads to the expendables or that fukin Samus fighting Master Chief video. vapid action without weight, consequence or context. it's ejaculating in a bowl of knox jelly in video form.
that's what akira is. really nice to look at, gorgeous animation and aesthetic, but it's plain dull. posting clips of the action scenes in 3 minute chunks does more than anything I can say. it's like loading screens of an incomplete and poorly told story to get to a few scenes of action. that's not a good movie. might as well fast forward through most of the movie.
wait that's how I watch speed racer
commando and other 80s action movies are so much more.

never argue or discuss movies with anyone who critiques films that are designed to distract you through the excessive use of violence and tits. who the fuck wants to hear anyone's opinion about the expendables or even transformers 3? the only discussion i ever had about those movies is to simply state that one of them ruled and the other was a good way to waste 2 hours of my life.
The plot in Akira was wild and crazy [old kids, psychic powers, some dude who exploded and took out an entire city, giant goo-baby, tripped-out dreams] and I happen to LIKE that about it.
I agree with Jay. The movie is beautiful and has timeless animation, but it was never satisfying from a storytelling perspective.
to be fair to akira, i'm a bit harder on it because i feel it is the direct grandpappy of all of the problems anime had (pre-the recent moe problem, which is not akira's fault and might be even worse than what akira did). because of akira, anime producers realized it was okay if your story didn't make any fucking sense at all as long as the animation was nice and you made it sufficiently weird that people could philosophize about it. i blame it for the ghost in the shell movie, which has almost EXACTLY the same problems and strengths, and evangelion, which was extremely influential and extremely idiotic, among a litany of other shitty anime that at least nobody cares about.

himuchan, when i first watched this, there *were* no expectations. this movie wasn't always the great legendary unicorn of anime. once upon a time, it was just a new movie. i watched it because "hey this guy on the cover looks kinda cool, let's watch this".

if you can get into it, so be it. the animation is great and the first half of the movie kicks ass. the art style is wonderful. but don't sit there laughing at the goofy shit hollywood is doing to the story with their adaptation, cuz akira never had a story leg to stand on to begin with.

Akira didn't change anime
How did it change anime then? Before Akira, anime received most of its revenue from films and toys. The same thing continued after Akira. Evangelion popularized the television format, which created a televised anime boom after it started getting popular and being heralded as the greatest anime tv series of all time. That's without bringing up the pseudo intellectualism Eva brought to the table that became so prominent after its release.
Did Akira help create more mature works of films being created? No, it did not. Golgo 13 is probably far more, if not equally bloody than Akira ever will be and just as controversial in regards to sex. The Professional predates Akira by five years. Even Grave of the Fireflies was released before Akira. How did Akira change anime? It didn't.
Did Akira help create a wave of more cyber punk anime? Sure. But how is that directly attributed to Akira when cyber punk was big during that period to begin with?
Akira is a highly influential anime. However, it didn't change the industry -- literally -- on its head like Evangelion.
Akira probably changed anime for overseas masses by exposing them to anime, but it didn't really change anime. Akira's influence is mostly seen through how it influenced manga, particularly the art, and that's mostly because of this:

Akira is absolutely an important anime film if for nothing else than it really helped open the door for modern Anime fandom in America.

WHAT
You think a Evangelion, from what...1996, was what popularized the format? Stuff like Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z did all that first. Come on dude...merchandise out the ass and Sailor Moon was so popular that images of the characters could be found inside Tokyo Tower.

Not disputing that. I'm mostly talking about more "serious" anime tv shows. You know what I'm talking about. I think it's debatable Cowboy Bebop would not exist without Evangelion. Evangelion helped create a specific audience, and I'm trying to think of any anime tv show, besides Gundam, that penetrated this audience with television series' before Evangelion's time.

Macross, Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkou, Urusei Yatsura, Space Battleship Yamato... I can do this all day.
Akira, the film has been considered a landmark for Japanese animation and filmmaking in general. I don't know why you're arguing this, Himu.
Anecdotally, I find that the Akira film and the Evangelion series are kind of given that "Important" stamp and are often hyped up to the point of setting unrealistic expectations for new viewers.
I temper my praise nowadays, and for some folks I just recommend the manga / the Rebuild films, respectively.
The first GitS film is interesting, in that it didn't do a whole lot in Japan, but really caught on everywhere else.Ghost in the Shell was marketed on the strength of Akira. If you don't have Akira you don't have a lot of money pouring into Anime during the 90s, you don't get the big budget series aimed at selling in America (Cowboy Bebop for instance).

SPACE RUNAWAY IDEON.
Seriously, Anno has even admitted that he ripped it off to make Evangelion.
Yes, Evanglion spawned countless "machoor" ripoffs, and as much as I like it, it wasn't really a unique snowflake.
Speaking of Yoshiaki Kawajiri, he directed this over a year before Akira:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jTZ3QMoE9w
:nsfw by the way.
And, like Himu said, Mamoru Oshii was no stranger to deliberately-paced, high-minded scifi. And Ghost in the Shell was more a product of Blade Runner's influence and the cyperpunk novels of the 80's. Shirow might have been influenced by the Akira manga though, it came out about year before GitS started.

This is a fair point, and exactly why Akira is influential. But when I say Akira changed anime, I'm talking about how anime is made. Akira is culturally relevant, but I don't think I can say with a straight face that Akira really changed anime. Not in the way Oscar said it did.
In VOTOMS, I am always drooling over the mecha to notice anything else, like characters, story, or tits.
Fanservice in TV anime didn't really start getting bad until the late 90's, when the harem genre really started picking up steam. But even that's tame compared to where TV anime has gone in the past few years. Most of the series that peddle that sort of thing are terrible to begin with, so it's easy to avoid them, but it's depressing to see how that's basically become the industry's biggest source of money [outside of shounen series and K-On].
OMG I read the words "Space Battleship Yamato" and did a Kodai shuffle here, I love that you guys can reference anime of that nature <3
Plot
In a reign ruled by the Tokugawa shogunate, breasts mean everything. If you have breasts, you are guaranteed wealth and popularity. If you lack them, you are rarely considered "human". Members of the ruling Manyu Clan help raise the future big breasts. Written on a secret scroll possessed by the clan, there is said to be various techniques on how to grow big and beautiful breasts. Chifusa is to be successor of the clan. However, she takes the secret scroll and runs away with it, hoping to fight against the cruel world that the Manyu Clan has created...
I'm not really a lapsed anime fan, but I've at least got the good sense to know that it's gone downhill since the 90's closed.
Downhill? Pish posh. This is brand new and it sounds amazing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many%C5%AB_Hiken-ch%C5%8DQuotePlot

ugh, no breast milk? I'll stick to seikon no qwaser
You watched that crap? :lol I couldn't get through the first episode...it looked like they were gonna cut off some big-breasted chick's titties after the one evil chick bit them. That was enough for me!
What does "teenaged animu feelings" even MEAN? You mean you don't want a whiny teenage lead? Or you don't want drama?
No, I could tell from the start that it wasn't something I cared to watch, but it gets brought up from time to time so I feel like I need to justify my hatred by seeing how low it dips into absolute depravity. Quite low, from what I can tell
I've seen Patlabor. but it's been quite a while since. And I just want some action set piece stuff. explosions and dust clouds. Evangelion I haven't seen but it seems kinda xenogearsy with people all catching feelings about this and that, suffering from various types of mental illnesses, etc.
Uh lol
most of us are lapsed anime fans

edit: I'm not opposed to drama. Planetes is prolly my favorite anime and I watched too much Aria to have some sort of high ground over shows featuring teary eyed animu girls. but I was kinda in the mood for some steel on steel bro wrestling.
I've seen Patlabor.... that's about it.

Also started watching Ben-To, which is about people fighting over pre-prepared dinners at supermarkets after they are placed on half-price discount every evening. WEIRDNESS.
Thread title sucks. Stop making every thread title like it's GAF.This is a re-purposed thread, it was originally about Kaneda the bar owner.
A simple "ANIMU AND MANGO THREAD" is sufficient.
I don't know why you guys subject yourselves to that shit. I can usually tell the quality of a modern anime is directly proportionate with its characters.
Usually, something like this:

Sen gets Yō and Hana to join the Half-Priced Food Lovers Club and starts training them in the ways of Bento Brawling. During one of the supermarket visits, they encounter a 'boar', a fat woman who raids all the half-priced bentos before a battle starts. The next day, Yō meets Yū 'Wizard' Kaneshiro, who encourages Yō to stand up to a boar so that the bento battle can properly take place. Yō comes to understand the pride of the 'wolves' and comes out with his first victory, obtaining a bento with an honor seal from the 'God of Discounts'. Yō then returns to the clubroom, where Sen congratulates him on his first victory and shows him a scrapbook showing the victories Yū managed to obtain.

OPINIONS
Big O=Voltron=Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
i watched the first few episodes,i liked the animation and the music but the complete lack of plot or continuity killed all my interess for it
I have this feeling that Big O would have been better if it wasn't a giant robot anime and instead the gritty, noir detective anime it tries to be most of the time. The music, for the most part, fits that better than giant robot fighting.
It's the same show made like 52 times,Sounds like shounen.
Ergo Proxy is not shounen.Never said it was :/
It's "deep" and "edgy" content feels really forced and tacked on.
It was mostly, through the middle of the show, a series of just really weird, random stuff [like the great game show episode].This exactly. They added a ton of non nonsensical bullshit for the sake of it. It didn't help the plot, pacing or even character development. That poop was there just cause someone wanted to be all abstract and cool.

Anyone checked out Towa no Quon yet? I didn't even realize it had come out on video yet, but apparently ep1-3 are (I think it's going to be 5 parts?).
Towa no Quon is the latest big budget Bones Studio B production. Studio B did Cowboy Bebop movie (2001) -> Scrapped Princess (2003) -> Eureka Seven (2005-2006) -> Xam'd (2008-2009) -> Towa no Quon (2011-2012); they're the major animation studio in Bones.
Towa no Quon is a 5 part theatrically released OAV series similar to how Kara no Kyokai (Garden of Sinners) was released in theaters and Break Blade as well.
It's an action thingy like all their stuff. And sadly no mecha, but more like sentai and mutants and stuff. Character designs are by the Bebop/Wolfs Rain/Dark Than Black guy.

Skip to the 4min mark for action scene with Akira arm
I haven't heard any impressions yet and I haven't had the time to check it out (might just wait until all 5 eps are out to watch at once like Break Blade). All I know is that it bombed in sales like everything coming out of Bones for the last 5 years since the original FMA. I heard the first OAV blu-ray sold like 700 copies total.
Anyone seen it?

I'll be watching the Ghost In The Shell 1995 movie for the first time tonight, and I'll probably check out Ergo Proxy and Big O since I kind of want to now. I'll probably get to Himu's list after that.
Big O is fucking awesome. Let's organize a watch of it, I'll dl the episodes and stick em on my iPhone and watch em on lunch.
Oh, OK, I missed that entirely. When did this thread get the name change? Simultaneous to the closure of the other one?
The other thread wasn't getting updated very much and this thread ended up turning into general animu discussion, so it's now the main thread. I left the Akira title the same so people wouldn't wonder where that thread went.
I also updated the old thread with a link to this one before I closed it. :P
There's been multiple anime threads here recently and we don't need them all.
:o oh no multiple threads with similar topics?! Whatever shall we do ::)
I'm just anti mega threading, not trying to step on your shit. I feel like there's plenty to talk about under the umbrella of anime that it warrants being allowed multiple threads. What if we just had a big thread for gaming instead of a whole forum? It'd suck right?
How about you shut the fuck up and chill out, get your Internet panties out of wad and take note that people neither are asking for nor require that kind of moderation here.
Lyte closed the other anime thread because he hates anime and was mad that we had two thread about animeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.everytime I read someone getting mad over anime I picture the Haruhi butt frestrations image.
what the fuck is Haruhi?
Weeaboo catnip.
Haruhi Suzumiya is the general name for a series of light novels written by Nagaru Tanigawa and illustrated by Noizi Ito which were subsequently adapted into other media. The story follows the title character Haruhi Suzumiya, a high school girl who can unconsciously change reality, and her strange antics with her school club, the SOS Brigade, which she founded to investigate mysterious events. Haruhi forcibly drafts her cynical classmate Kyon, who narrates the series, and similarly recruits three additional members into her club: the silent bibliophile Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the friendly transfer student Itsuki Koizumi. These members soon reveal themselves to Kyon as the extraordinary characters Haruhi is seeking, sent by their various organizations to observe her and hold her reality warping powers in check by maintaining the illusion of a normal life.
The movie is legitmately great, the series is pretty good [except for the second season where KyoAni poops the bed], but it's held up among the community as some pinnacle of modern storytelling, which it isn't.

:lol Who is saying this?
I have never seen Haruhi, but it seemed like all the fanboys rejected it after whatever happened in the second season.
I always kind of associated Haruhi with the rise of MOE. Never heard that term being mentioned until it came around.
It's best to not watch the second season. Watch season one only if you're interestedThe movie is legitmately great, the series is pretty good [except for the second season where KyoAni poops the bed], but it's held up among the community as some pinnacle of modern storytelling, which it isn't.

Haruhi was moe filth at its core, only sometimes it put that moe filth in decent stories.
Moe came along before Haruhi. Haruhi and stuff like K-ON was just a convenient point of convergence as it has all of it's moe bases covered and was popular. It's actually a very enjoyable series if you ignore the fans.
Moe, to me, is a series with few [if any] male characters, huge emphasis on girl-friendship, lack of drama or negative emotions. Everything played as absolutely safe as possible, with nothing in the story that forces the characters give up anything or make any sacrifices or even CHANGE. It panders to the basement-dwelling nerdlings desire to "protect" innocence, cuteness, and purity. I just don't see how Haruhi can possible fit into the mold.

Moe has to do more with the bubbly-bouncy-energetic girl personalities.
Is Aria moe? my favorite character was the cat with the hat.
I'll never understand all those "hilarious" and "cute" anime shit. I'm in it for the violence and superpowered shit.
You think I'm joking? My main reason for watching any anime was the badass fights, Dragonball Z just happened to be badass all around.

But Dragonball has "hilarious" and "cute" shit too...and lots of bizarro-wacky character designs and names!
I enjoyed Dragonball but have never been able to get into any similar long-running action series. Everything just ends up reminding me of Dragonball or just drags on and on and gets boring as shit.
I agree 100% with this postMoe came along before Haruhi. Haruhi and stuff like K-ON was just a convenient point of convergence as it has all of it's moe bases covered and was popular. It's actually a very enjoyable series if you ignore the fans.
"Moe" has been around way longer than any of that stuff, but I don't recall it being at the forefront until Haruhi came along.
I couldn't watch Lucky Star. It was like Azumanga Daioh without the charm and slice-of-life humor.
All this moe talk is scrambling my brain, so here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgPB10a3REg
Hunter X Hunter is the best shonen manga because it's a collection of short series sharing characters. Every arc is different, whereas Naruto/DBZ/Bleach/etc just replace one final boss for another final boss.HxH is amazing when Togashi isnt being a hideous fucking troll. IMO Yu Yu Hakusho and HxH will always be figthing for top shounen of all time and creation. I have a soft spot for Getbackers too.
It works for me when it's manga.
I'm finally reading through Battle Angel Last Order (which is :bow :bow2 Wrath you should check it out) and it's been awesome.
How many chapters?
All this moe talk is scrambling my brain, so here:

wtf @ the scene of kids getting blown apart by machine guns :lol
Everything has moe, everything. There isnt a single tv show/movie/anime/manga without it, what people refer to as "moe" anime are those that turn up the fan service or knowingly try and appeal to the most neckbearded neckbeards.
this thread no longer interests nor caters to me.
further proof why government intervention is always a bad thing.
@Count watch Natsu no Arashi or School Rumble(both from the same guy), the funny shit in there is actually .. funny. Or watch Golden boy.
You are the one who started in with shut the fuck up, so yes. Chillax.
And no, I see no reason to discuss it further in a PM because that's silly. I don't need to make some kind of appeal to you.

That's from Genocyber, it's incredibly violent but I really can't recommend watching it.
Do I need to put in smilies for you to understand I'm not emotionally engaged? Were the words chillax and silly not enough context clues? Jump off this dyck space cowboys! :spin :spinWasn't there something in another thread where you mentioned having blown up inappropriately? This had a similar tone, so I thought you'd done that again.

I have watched all of FMP, fomoffu included. It's really hard to flip flop between Fomoffu and the regular FMP though.Full Metal Panic makes me sad because it cant decide if it wants to be a comedy or a regular show
Fumoffu is a comedy series. It is the Looney Tunes of anime.
This thread has taught me that we all have different views of what moe is :lolSo is Azumanga Daioh considered moe too? This is a new word for my vocab
No. Moe is a sexualization of characters to me. Azumanga is pre-moe fad.

All you guys do is recommend old ass shit and ignore every fucking new anime that comes outta Nippon's asshole.
And then you guys have the fucking nerve to recommend GUNDAM FUCKING AGE. Even Bebpo shat on that one and he likes K-on. K-ON!
I never even watched Deathnote. I just read the manga. I stopped reading after that spoiler because it was so bad. This was like in 2005 right before Deathnote got licensed. Spoil the rest of the story for me.Here you go:

The 00's were actually a great time for anime, AT FIRST. Things went south hard aroung 2006, the American anime industry started tanking and the moe/harem/fanservice fad hit in the Japan like a 20-ton whale dropped from the tip of the Empire State Building. The last few years of the 00's were pretty dreadful, lots of really horrible shows and only a few that were worth watching. I've seen some improvement over the past year or so, but it's still a far cry from the heady days of 90's TV anime and 80's OVAs/Movies.
But I'm not above recommending newer shows, in fact I just recommended several in an earlier post.
Okay, I'm curious about this, because I haven't really watched much anime. I've seen maybe a dozen movies, plus most of the Miyazaki stuff.
So in the 80s you had stuff like the original Vampire Hunter D, right? And the 90s would have had DBZ, Gundam and whatnot?
What do all the terms mean? I'm guessing harem = one male character, lots of females? And moe = pedo trash? Why did the anime studios stop catering to people who want to watch giant robots blowing shit up in favor of the dudes who want to wank to 6 year olds?
Well, I mean they've been selling anime body pillows since the dawn of weeabo. I'm sure it was a sales driven trend.. Which is disturbing. I think I need to get my hands on some of this 80s-90s animu you guys keep praising.
the yu yu hakusho
Oh yeah Yu Yu Hakusho, I've always wanted to see that after I played the 3DO game for it.
Just finished Unicorn vol. 4... WOW.
I knew the Banshee tease was coming at the end, but it still caught me off guard.

I knew the Banshee tease was coming at the end, but it still caught me off guard.
Is Unicorn good? I remember watching the original trailer back when it released and it looked pretty great but I always find myself feeling burned when I try to watch these shows. I think I gave up on 00 half way through cause it got so awful.
Is this the new cruise control for cool? I've been watching The iDOLM@STER so I'm clearly the worst person in this thread by far. :gayTrust me, it's better than clinging to some 80's old ass anime and declaring ANIMU IS DEAD in every thread.
Ghost In The Shell
This was my first time watching it and yeah I enjoyed it. I really like the concept, the slow pacing and dark undertones is pretty cool too.

I don't agree, but SAC is quite awesome. Go and watch it next, Wrath.
How many episodes is the Ghost In The Shell tv show?
Oh and Lyte I got the Battle angel manga, will watch the movie before reading it.
For SAC, are the first and second season the same antagonist? I've caught a few episodes while it ran on adult swim years ago. I thought the antagonist who quoted catcher in the rye made a super interesting plotline.
It's not really a movie anyway, it's 2 30-minutes OVAs.
Scrapped Princess is awesomeReally? I kinda stopped after 2/3 eps cause it seemed dull. worth my while picking it up again years later? lol (After Cobra of course, need some manly anime)
Also, buy this and repent for talking about dumb shows and not Slayers

Dont mind me- just classin up the joint
Also yeah GitS is no Slayers, the king of all thingsThis is crazy talk
sadly Revolution and Evolution-R dont really compare to any of the first 3 seasons, but there are some REALLY good filler eps in there at least.I think Try was kind of weak personally since at the end of Next they established the crew as virtually unstoppable in the face of Gods and thus pretty much nothing was a threat to them, but with Revo it was just nice to see the original cast together and destroying everything in their path again since it'd been a while. 8)

The market gets what it wants/deserves. :(
I wont deny I've knowingly bought some utter crap for dumb reasons, but ecchi and hentai just pushes all the wrong buttons for me :/Nowadays any one that pays for porn is kind of a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow with the amount of stuff readily available for free imo. Still see lots of folks browsing that corner of the store every day all the same. I should watch that Nausicaa Blu Ray I got for Xmas. :bow Miyazaki :bow2

Looking out for Natsume specials and waiting for Black Lagoon - Roberta's Blood Trail to be done. Also before that bought Nodame Cantabile, Black Jack (which is playing again this season) Durarara.
Plus what the hell is worth even buying nowadays? ???
So they're making a sequel to Eureka 7...as a manga :\That show is shit as all creation. I cant understand why people would watch/read this.

I think my hang-up with buying TV series is that apart from very, very, very, very, VERY few of them, I'd never watch them more than once.Most of my stuff except for the Ghibli is still in it's wrapping really. I can't really explain to you why I buy it, I just like having nice things.

How does season 2 compare to season 1?Faster paced, shorter, less explanation and more actiony.

Does anyone really like Grave of the Fireflies?It didnt depress me actually. I just felt incalculable amounts of rage Seita for being a jackass. That overwhelmed the sadness. I can't say I "like" the movie, as you say it's soul crushing, but the mere fact that it made me and intended to make me have emotional reactions means it succeeded.
No, hold on, it's obviously a great film but it's so depressing I can't say I like it. I appreciate it, but it's so damn soul crushing
P&S might make it out here, Funi is streaming the uncut 2 HOT 4 TV versions of the eps on their site behind a pay gate at the moment.

I know the one piecers dont like it so much but I like both shows. Its paced incredibly well and having read the manga and watched the subs well into the series I felt I should pony up some fucking money.

Was Bandai Entertainment losing money? Also they are 100% independent from Namco-Bandai right?

The champions road intro sequence is legendary for a reason =P
one piece sux
Well, I'm almost done with the first one. :smugthat entire sequence is the opening to champions road. idk I cant recall if that fight was portrayed in the regular anime. I kinda stuck to the manga till mowgli appeared.I usually agree with you, but hell no Stringy :lol
The champions road intro sequence is legendary for a reason =P
All that is, is the final bout of Ippo recapped, right?
I actually kinda of liked Wonderful Days. Of course, I haven't seen it in more than seven years, so I probably just thought the animation was cool or something. And it was an imported DVD, so it had that added element of making me feel like I was watching some amazing, obscure movie. I probably watched the trailer for it at least 20 times.It was that trailer that I remembered from way back when, and the only reason I picked it up instead of a million more recent things, or much, much older ones. It was pretty impressive, IIRC. Then again, The Lost Boys had a pretty epic trailer, and wasn't very good.
Bandai Entertainment is shutting down. Turn A DVD release canceled.Wow. I knew the anime boom was winding down, but I didn't think a major player would be taken out. Or is this just corporate restructuring for tax purposes?
Time to order the First Gundam collections while I still can.
Going back to the dark ages of anime costing buttloads. On the upside less loli crap
Speaking of which, seems Funi got the rights to One Piece again so they're going to dub again from G-8.
WOOT.
ADV Video, THE previous major player, was taken out a few years back. It's nothing new.
Didn't funimation get pretty much all of their crap tho?
Once again, the typical disconnect between Japanese corporate expectations and American market reality. Despite the best efforts of Japanese companies to force the American anime market to accept 80$ single DVD/BD releases, such a price point is well out of the range the majority of American fans are willing to pay.
Now, instead of admitting to their own folly, they'd rather close up shop and take their ball home before they lower their prices.
Based on that interview with Iyadoni, the only way to get Unicorn vol. 5 and 6 is to import them from Japan (Amazon JP gets a name drop).
Is Funimation looking shaky? Theyre the one company that embraced an online solution. Their prices ARE a little TOO good sometimes though

this guy nailed it
No idea, but anime just seems like it's dying out in the US sadly :\ I miss the gold ole' days.
I'm ok with fansubs, as I've always been, but I dunno if they can survive without a retail market as well. I always felt they worked together to make shows popular and available to the masses.
Enjoy not actually owning or viewing anything in good quality. Anime sure does look good in HD.
I'm pissed if the solution to finishing Gundam UC is "lol buy them from JAPAN!" but I'll still buy them anyway. :(

Get hulu plus and watch on your 360 or ps3. Great quality.
Also, why must you own every anime you like? I only own a few anime and it's my top 20 shit.

im ok with fansubs only futureAs am I.
So the people who watch more anime than me and never bought anime in the first place, causing the market to die, are the first to disown the physical anime market. What a surprise @_@
UnFunimation and the like have always annoyed me with their premium markups so I usually just get it from JPN stores when I buy.

@Beb Fansubs are usually in HD+ resolutions so the quality is there. I kinda hate dubs anyway so this is not affecting me in the least. I have media devices capable of playing euro and jpn content so nothing is lost for me. Jizz media and UnFunimation and the like have always annoyed me with their premium markups so I usually just get it from JPN stores when I buy.
> Get Anime from JapanHaha, I didnt say buy it at rip off prices man lol
> Darker than Black season 1 boxset over $300
> no subs
What shit.
I really dont think people who are into anime are any more likely to buy from the US than they are from JPN.
How much longer until I can get nisemonogatari in my life.
NEED.
no joke. I want to dl and re-read Sailor Moon manga from beginning to end on my kindle\

I can handle a little bit of animu. For example I really enjoyed watching the first run FMA and they throw in silly anime shit on that, but then shit gets real when it came to the actual plotline.
filler eps are a tradition!Hey man.

Even better is that they had to release 4 OVA episodes six months later to finish up the story. :lol
I got my K-On! BDs since they're going OOP. I didn't realize they were like 3eps each. It had been a while since I bought vol.1/2 and for some reason I thought vol.1/2 = S1, vol.3/4 = S2 and thus the entire show was brought over. But nope, I just realized I paid like $120 for one 14ep season. In comparison I also get Darker than Black 13ep S2 + Entire 4ep OAV for...$26.I tragically realized yesterday that Bandai USA going tits up means there'll never be a cheap S2 box for Code Geass. Fucking sucks since I'd been waiting on that happening before buying the second season. :(
Conclusion = fuck Bandai USA. Good riddance.
I don't even understand K-On! pricing. Star Driver is 13eps per volume for $40-50. They are both TV anime. SD pricing is not cheap, but it's reasonable in light of anime being higher price. K-On! is straight up Japanese pricing gouging. At least Gundam Unicorn is an OAV.

Why would you do a thing like that :-\
I'm more concerned that the 2nd season of K-on is never going to come over now. Here I thought it already had! Dammit, I hate owning incomplete shows. Not that the 2nd season is worth owning outside the last 4-5 eps, but the multiple endings were nice.
Why oh why isn't the first season on blu-ray?
It has hobo hei
redhead loli
rockman
samurai girl
It's up to you to decide if those are what you want out of life.Why oh why isn't the first season on blu-ray?
Probably no point? Wasn't it made during the 480p 4:3 digital era? Those shows aren't worth rebuying on bluray, just buy the super cheap by now dvd sets for stuff made during that era. It's the best it will ever look.
So wait, Bebpo is unaware of HD anime streaming AND he thinks anime from 2007 was still airing in 480i, 4:3? :lol
Bebpo is getting senile is his old age.
Oh shit, awesome, thanks for the heads up. I netflixed the first season and for a DVD release it looked pretty damn good on my 720p set. :-[I tragically realized yesterday that Bandai USA going tits up means there'll never be a cheap S2 box for Code Geass.

15 mins into Aquarion Evol and it's Macross F 2
My god episode 10 was a heart wrencher
Nisemonogatari kind of sucked. It suffers from the same problems as the Kurenai OAVs and lots of sequels. Basically it's a sequel just because, even though everything was concluded in the original and there was no need for a sequel. Ep1 was just fanservice "oh remember these characters?" and just fillerish in general and not as well written, directed, and the music is worse.I disagree. You have to remember with a new season new viewers will come in so they have to ease the characters in for them.
The movie should actually be pretty good since there's still the prequel story to tell and that has a point. But a sequel? There's nothing to care about. What kind of plot can they even do at this point without feeling contrived and lame.
Eh, will keep watching, but don't have much faith in it now. Would rather they just continued the plot of the original where he meets a new girl each arc and has to solve her supernatural short story. It wouldn't be very creative, and would be more of the same, but it'd still be better than what nisemonogatari looks to be about.
Hoping Eureka 7 AO isn't going to suffer from this. At least since it's hundreds of years after E7 it can't be "hey look at these characters hanging out!"
Ok, Aquarion Evol was pretty good! Looks like we may have the first enjoyable mecha series since Gundam OO S1. It seems worse than Aquarion in every way, but that's expected since anime isn't as good anymore. But! It's still fun and has that Aquarion feel. You can tell the plot is going to be really lolz as they try to write in a sequel to a story that doesn't make a sequel the easiest thing to write, but at least they're trying. Mecha design is alright. Attacks are decent so far.
Will be watching this.
You got that it was a joke right? The series is 75% comedy/parody, 25% super robot epic.
The first several episodes of "Aquarion" are not very engaging -- they speed by too fast, don't really make you care about the characters, and basically consist of the same pattern: Apollo does something feral and/or stupid during training, Silvia and/or Sirius are disgusted, the Cherubim attack, but Our Heroes (including Apollo) save the day and learn a valuable lesson in the process. Also typical anime cliches (accidental kiss, Benedict-and-Beatrice soulmates, and big strompy robots).
But after the first five or six episodes, something happens -- the series gains a sense of humor that infuses its rather cheesy overarcing storyline. Kawamori lets the story unfold gradually, and with a sly sense of spoofery and occasional bittersweet moments (Apollo's friendship with Baron) instead of pompous seriousness. Silly attack names ("Unlucky Bottom Attack!"), comical deus ex machinae (Our Heroes are saved by a cry of "DINNER!"), piroetting alien mecha, lots of pseudomystical stuff, cosplay, and a Yoda-like commander who exists solely to teach the heroes Important Life Lessons and spout cryptic sayings at the worst times. And I must admit, those orgasmic mecha merges are pretty funny.
"Aquarion" takes a long, long time to get off the ground. But once the satire kicks in, this mecha series becomes a gorgeously animated, fluffy brand of brain-candy.
And predictably, everyone on anime-gaf hates Aquarion Evol while they froth at the mouth for the next moemoe schoolgirl slice of life.My only posts in animeGAF threads was bitching about animeGAF itself. It didnt take long for me to realize the opinions and discussions I would source from there would be somewhere below general shounen anime boards yet slightly above general moe crap boards. I've been watching anime since I was 5, have been on anime boards since around 12, while I have seen worse it's not worth my time to talk anime with people well below my usual standard of discussion :/
And apparently people have never even heard of Aquarion?? Dude, that was only 2005.
You know, suddenly it becomes very apparent why the anime threads there are 100% junk...the posters are like twelve and started watching anime in 2009 and have no frame of reference for growing up on awesome 90s anime. Instead they grew up on semi-awful moe digital shit. Bleh.
And this is where I realize I'm probably the only person on the internet who actually finished Aquarion. No wonder I'm the only one hyped about the sequel!Naah, I finished it and got that it was a throwback/homage/parody. I liked it but it didnt stand out much for me because 2005 I was more enchanted reading/watching Beet the Vandal Buster, Pani Poni, Basilisk, FMP, School Rumble, Karas, Tsubasa, Gunparade, Mushishi, hell even though I dislike it Eureka Seven left more of an impression.
Fumoffu was just too silly for me.
Aquarion just had too much humor for me. Kind of like Full Metal Panic. I loved the first season and Second Raid, but Fumoffu was just too silly for me.I just pretend Fumoffu is an entirely different anime. I dislike GL for various reasons, it's one of two animes I really spaz out about.
Gurren Lagann was a nice balance.
Sorry but the sister wanting to merge with her brother and all the weird ass naked moaning in the first few eps of aquarion turned me off immediatelyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v= iC0J5ZZBeNs
one of the big jokes with aquarion is having robot GATTAI be a play on human GATTAI aka. sex
I can see how that might seem strange out of context.
Me? I can't stop laughing :lolspoiler (click to show/hide)one of the big jokes with aquarion is having robot GATTAI be a play on human GATTAI aka. sex[close]
What the shit.
Yoko Kanno + MECHA cannot cancel that shit out.
Aquarion is fuckin weird creepy- just want Nadesico if you want comedy plus robots

Are they cracking down on fansub torrents or something? I haven't downloaded anything in a while, and I noticed a lot of poorly seeded torrents for slightly older stuff (like a season or two old) at Tokyo Tosho. It seemed like a year or two ago, everything was a lot better seeded.

In general, people have been giving up on anime year by year. Not just on commercially buying anime, but on even bothering to torrent or watch anime. Even the fansub groups have dwindled and some shows are slipping through with no subs. Anime is doomed and all that.

Why bother subbing and torrenting when you can just punch up just about any show you want on Crunchyroll?
Alright animu experts, I turn once again to you.
Next week is my birthday, and I traditionally take a day off and do mushrooms. I would like to have a movie to watch during this! The perfect candidate is extremely visually impressive and light hearted. Visually impressive being more important than light hearted. And preferrable dubbed because I probably won't want to read on shroomies but it might be fun to just watch something in Japanese without subs :lol
Suggestions?
i still need to see red line
oh god don't bring up kgneI have yet to meet a person that can say honestly they liked it. It did quite a bit of damage to my soul when I was done. Fuck Shinji. Fuck all that motherfuckers really.
Production I.G. exec Maki Terashima-Furuta made comments (reported at Anime News Network) to the effect that a live-action Jin-Roh is being prepped while another I.G. rep confirmed that the studio is preparing a third Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series. Yay on both counts!this was February two thousand and fucking ten :-\
Of course, there have been two Jin-Roh / Kerberos live action films released to date – Red Spectacles and Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops, both of which were directed by Jin-Roh creator Mamoru Oshii. No word on whether or not Oshii will be taking up the reins on the third film (though if he doesn’t, I expect the flick to be far more straightforward than the other two – which both followed Oshii’s wierd, experimental idiom).
As for the as-yet unnamed 3rd Gig, the director (presumably series director Kenji Kamiyama) is reportedly ‘tied up in other projects‘.
I can handle drama, if it's good. But I think something lighter might be good. I was thinking of watching just a normal western tv show next though like Terriers or something.
The Girl Who Lept Through Time is fantastic.
Momo, I can appreciate somber stories and have in the past, but winters just not the right time of year fir me to be watching them, it'll sink me too low! Depressing stories are good to balance the soul though, and sometimes we need a reminder of how fragile the human condition really is. But I'm a hippy, I believe in love and the interconnectivity of everything in the universe (probably part of my appreciation for Planetes) so I don't go for nihilistic stuff. I did in my teens, but I'm passed the meaningless of life stage. :)We'll talk more in the summer then, the shows I have in mind are mostly interpersonal relationships gone horribly awry. I find stuff like Suzuka crazily depressing but laugh at Grave of the Fireflies.
I don't find Grave of the Fireflies that depressing. I mean, it's a sad story but...It just made me angry, and when that went away I laughed at the absurd choices Seita makes. Seita is pretty much a stubborn dick.
You laughed at Grave of the Fireflies?The problem for me is I never identified nor felt a connection to Seita, he just made me angry.
I don't think I could take any of your recommendations then! The movie broke my heart so bad there's still a scar!
You keep bringing up depressing and wah wah, but like Spencer said, sometimes nothing tops a good downer story. I don't understand why people gravitate towards happy feelings all the time. A good story is a good story, and Now and Then, Here and There is leaps and bounds above most common anime due to its realistic approach to drama and the subject matter it entails.
What stubborn choices did he make?
The official website for Purple Cow Studio Japan's Sakasama no Patema (Patema Inverted) revealed details about the anime film's plot and main character on Tuesday. Time of Eve creator Yasuhiro Yoshiura is writing and directing the anime film for release throughout Japan this year.
The story will take place in an underground world where tunnels extend everywhere. Even though they live in dark and confined spaces, people wear protective clothes and lead quiet and enjoyable lives. Patema, a princess in her underground village, loves to explore the tunnels. Her favorite place is a "danger zone" that her village prohibits people from entering. Even though she's scolded, Patema's curiosity can't be held back. No one ever explained what the supposed danger was. On her usual trip to the "danger zone," Patema faces unexpected events. When hidden secrets come to light, the story begins to unfold.
Yoshiura previously wrote "This new animation is … a story about girl-meets-boy, and boy-meets-girl. It is an extremely righteous, but also extremely strange, story."

The North American publisher Digital Manga is raising funds through the Kickstarter website to publish Osamu Tezuka's Barbara manga in English. Digital Manga gave the following description of the story:
Barbara opens with famous author Yosuke Mikura wandering the packed tunnels of Shinjuku Station, where he makes a strange discovery: a drunk woman, her rags caked in mud, who can quote French poetry. Her name is Barbara. He takes her home for a bath and a drink, and before long Barbara has made herself into Mikura's shadow, saving him from egotistical delusions and jealous enemies. But just as Mikura is no saint, Barbara is no benevolent guardian angel, and Mikura grows obsessed with discovering her secrets, tangling with thugs, sadists, magical curses and mythical beings - all the while wondering whether he himself is still sane.
Digital Manga aims to release the manga in large paperback format (5 7/8" x 8 1/4") if it receives US$6,500 in funds by February 12. As of Saturday, it received over US$5,000. Contributors will receive various rewards, depending on the level of their pledge.
Finished up Darker than Black season 2, it was pretty good. Felt a bit too rushed though, probably because of only have 12 episodes instead of 25 like the first season. Gotta say, Chinese Hobo Batman was certainly an interesting change for Hei.Did you watch the OVAs as well?

Arny Schorr, owner of the North American anime distributor S'more Entertainment, confirmed on Monday that his company acquired the Galaxy Express 999 television series from Toei Animation. The classic 1978-1981 television series from director Rintaro adapts Leiji Matsumoto's space opera manga of the same name. S'more Entertainment is planning the first American DVD release for the series with English subtitles, but the release date has not been set yet.
Arny Schorr, owner of the newly established North American anime distributor S'more Entertainment, confirmed that his company acquired the Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo television series from Toei Animation. The DVD release of "Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Complete Series Part 1" will ship on March 27 with 38 episodes (the first half of the series) on four discs with English subtitles and dubbing.
They should localize LOGH instead.
Berserk sucked when it became more shounen less demons and horror shit. When the kid started to follow Guts I just stopped reading it. Horrible.
What? Bandai said they'd keep making discs to meet demand. They're going to stop making NEW TITLES. Anything they've released will get more.

So I watched Rinne no Lagrange ep1 after duckroll said it was a good mecha show that will be in Super Robot Wars and is by the director of Nadesico.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWOKnRw8mGg
First of all, SO MUCH MOE/FANSERVICE ARGHHHHHHH
But if you can make it past that, it's actually...well directed seemingly decent mecha show? The art is pretty good and the animation (funded by NISSAN) is really nice, even the cell-shaded mecha fights look pretty darn good for being CG.
I think I'll put up with some underwear shots every ep to get another mecha show. THREE mecha show episodes per week between Aquarion EVOL, Gundam AGE, and Lagrange! After a long ass drought of no mecha shows at all besides Star Driver, who'd have thought they were making a comeback. YAY, it's time for me to get back to liking anime again!

There's an exchange in Ep3 with Arraragi and Senjougahara where they are hanging out in a park and she's offering him favors and it's just amaaaaazingly well written comedy that keeps upping the ante. Every ep has lots of "spit your drink" moments.
Eh...First two videos are lolicon garbage through and through.
They are both bad and you should be ashamed of yourself, young man.

The thing about Bakemonogatari is it's really not as perverted harem show as it seems on a casual glance. The show doesn't pander or emphasize or glorify sexual fetishes, it just uses them as humor. I think a western comparison is Archer which is extremely vulgar in sex jokes and stuff, but it's using them as exactly that, jokes. Not pandering in a sexual way. Just cultural differences where in the west we make jokes about jerking off and bjs and in the east they make jokes about lolicon and siscon and sorocon.
Naruto was cute again. It's sort of like Eureka Seven except instead of Naruto kicking ass with the power of LOVE from an alien girl, it's from the power of LOVE from a giant fox inside him. Hokage final form Naruto is pretty boss looking. Guess manga is really ending soon since I don't see any further forms left for him.
Hunter x Hunter was really good again. This arc has been pretty solid and all the boring political talk finally makes sense as he was using it as a counter to the exciting violent storyline going on in the other story. It's good to see Togashi back as an interesting manga writer again. After Greed Island which was just ok and Ant arc which sucked, I thought HxH was done for, but this arc gives me hope it might pull itself back together much like Togashi's health.

You are clearly underestimating the ability of manga/anime publishers to stretch things far past the point of viability.
That argument makes sense if Naruto is as popular as Dragon Ball was. But it isn't. Toriyama was forced to stretch his story by publishers. I highly doubt publishers would give a shit if Naruto ended any time soon, not to mention, Naruto has lasted longer than Dragonball's Shounen Jump run. Dragon Ball lasted in Jump for 9 years and Toriyama wanted to end the series after Freiza. Naruto has been in jump for 11 years, comparatively.

yeah, pretty much.
The one thing is that Naruto seemingly has his final upgrade, or at least the one that's been teased since the beginning of the series. But this is the same magazine that hosted Dragon Ball aka SUPER SAIYAN 3 what the fuck. Naruto's current final boss has more or less been pulled out of thin air. Ignoring him, there are two other major bad guys running around. There's a lot more milking to be done.
You have to realize that Kishimoto is not a talentless hack like Kubo. He has some pride and when the story is done he's not going to pull arcs out of his ass to make it keep going for years like Bleach. The bad guy for this is THE MAIN VILLAIN FINAL ENEMY. He's the most powerful character in the entire universe and his goal is like the end of FMA and END OF WORLD if he wins. Naruto is in his FINAL FORM to get ready to beat him. Sasuke is ABOUT TO APPEAR. Everything is pretty much point towards a final climax. I think Kishimoto will pull off a really cool finale that wraps all the remaining subplots together into a nice epic finish. I think Naruto will end in the next 2 years.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StiLcLiPD1EI really love the exchanges with Kanbaru most of all. And when Senjougahara asks Araragi to be clear about their relationship .. his answer is just perfect.
Went back and watched some bakemonogatari again. Still so good. Show never gets old. Wish there were more dialogue exchange clips on youtube as the dialogue exchanges are the best parts of the show. There's an exchange in Ep3 with Arraragi and Senjougahara where they are hanging out in a park and she's offering him favors and it's just amaaaaazingly well written comedy that keeps upping the ante. Every ep has lots of "spit your drink" moments.
Is there a post for "these are the best anime on Netflix streaming" yet? If not, can someone fill me in?
According to GIGAZINE, Takeda Seiji, the chief producer of MBS, revealed a movie project of Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto at Anime Business Forum +2012. Takeda said the low rating of the Takuto TV series could be attributed to the sexy scenes, which might make children refrain from watching the program in front of their parents. He regretted that they should have aired the anime at night or added such scenes in the DVD.
He also announced that the director and the script writer of Ao no Exorcist Movie are Takahashi Atsushi ("RideBack") and Yoshida Reiko, respectively.

Netflix is English dub only, so I never watch anime there.
Yeah, I don't recommend anime to people with netflix streaming because of the shitty dubs only versions. Would turn people off of even good shows :(

Well, I'll probably just watch on Hulu or something, now that I'm not being IP cockblocked. Is there a free internet TV viewing service which has Japanese and subtitles?
Please don't answer "bit torrent" or I'll break out the vuvuzela.

I mean amazon has it, but $45 vs. $30 so I want to keep hoping that bandai will actually produce a 2nd shipment of the BD. If they never do I'll just pay $45 from amazon.

Yeah, from what I can tell there's still only been ONE shipment from Bandai of the BD to stores on the release date and then nothing. I really dunno if they're going to keep producing it. Sounds like Bandai wants to bail out of the industry asap.

Has anyone seen The Secret World of Arriette?
It received glowing reviews on RT, but I remember a lot of discussion elsewhere on how it doesn't live up to previous Ghibli works. Like not even in the same ballpark (basically production crew not being Ghibli's A-team).

Gonna go watch it this weekend.

The North American anime licensing company Sentai Filmworks announced on Monday that it licensed the second season of the K-ON!! television anime series. The 26-episode anime sequel and the accompanying OVA will be available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc later this year. Sentai Filmworks is collaborating with Bang Zoom! Entertainment on the dub.
Based on kakifly's four-panel comedy manga about high school girls who form a rock band, the second television anime series premiered in April 2010. The series topped sales charts when its Blu-ray Discs shipped in Japan last year, and K-ON! became the first television animation franchise to sell over 500,000 Blu-ray Discs on Oricon's sales chart.
The North American anime distributor Bandai Entertainment licensed and released the first K-ON! television anime season in 2011 before it stopped releasing new titles this month.

Is Gyo the kind of hilarious zombie shark horror movie you can watch with a girl or will you get dirty looks?Do not watch with a girl, you will get looks
For God's sake Bebpo, stop trying to watch anime with girls.
GYO (AKA, WALKING FISH ARMY OF DOOM)
Well that sucked.
How do you make a movie about ZOMBIE SHARKS With STABBY LEGS boring? Maybe the manga was good and creepy, but the anime adaptation was neither scary nor so bad it's hilarious. It was just slow and nothing much happened and was pretty dull. The end twist about the TRUE FORM OF THE EVIL was lolz, but at least a bit creative. But yeah, disappointing.

I don't understand why people are so against enjoying things they like with others. Lots of women like good non-perv anime.It's having to explain to others that is the problem. It diminishes one's own appreciation and understanding of what you just watched.

Do you want your gf to watch quality anime, or otaku anime like Aquarion? This is important!
Okay. I'm glad we got that settled.
Then it shouldn't be an issue because MOST people should find something to like about Totoro or Porco Rosso or even Perfect Blue or Tokyo Godfathers.

My wife actually liked Tokyo Godfathers. I didn't.
It's an absolutely travesty that the movie Kon was working on when he died is almost certainly just going to languish in development Hell for a while until it's quietly cancelled after everyone forgets that it ever existed.
Show your girlfriend Ninja Scroll.8)
Jesus Christ, way to go overboard guys.
Thought process:
1. I have this movie I want to watch (Gyo - Horror film by guy who did Uzumaki which is fairly mainstream acceptance in the horror community)
2. Should I watch it by myself tonight? or wait and watch it with the gf on the weekend because it's the kind of thing that would be fun to watch together since we both like horror films and it's a campy horror film?
3. Ask on TheBore to see if the movie is appropriate for watching with female and not some horribly sick.fuck movie

Really, guys? I thought this forum was better than this. But everyone still has a super kneejerk reaction when it comes to anime.
Do you want your gf to watch quality anime, or otaku anime like Aquarion? This is important!
See above. Was asking about a horror movie that I knew nothing about its contents to FIND OUT if it was a ghibli type movie you could watch with normal people or an otaku movie that you wouldn't. Which caused the forum to freak out and throw insults. Except Momo. Momo was awesome for giving me an actual answer.
I'd never watch Aquarion or anything wacky_jappy/boobs/mecha/uguu with someone else, guy or girl. I'm not stupid. Even FLCL would be pushing it too far into the fanservice-y and I would not watch that with a girl.
Okay. I'm glad we got that settled.Perfect Blue is one of my favorite films of all time.
Then it shouldn't be an issue because MOST people should find something to like about Totoro or Porco Rosso or even Perfect Blue or Tokyo Godfathers.

Hey Momo, I watched Nisemonogatari ep3 on a whim last night and all the sudden TYPE-MOON-ish VILLIAN OF NOWHERE (which is weird because bakemonogatari had no antagonists or traditional good guy vs bad guy stories) and suddenly the show has a plot! Instead of just being fanservice about nothing like ep1-2. Now I'm interested in the show again and will catch up.I think they do a real good job with the antagonist. He doesnt play a traditional antagonostic role for the most part. Kisemonogatari should have a bit more of a traditional antagonist but Araragi wont end up hating them as he always says "you cant blame the oddities" and I believe he even likens the antagonist to Oshino whom he respects a lot.

Mardock Scramble: The First Compression was pretty awesome, even though it's basically Act 1 of a larger movie. Very dark, very adult, late 80's/early 90's-style bit of scifi animation. Haven't seen the director's cut, but I'd definitely watch again to see what they've added or changed.They had to remove some stuff from the initial US release due to legal concerns or something so this may be like the Kite DC where they add back in as much as they can but there's still some shit missing...

Isamu Imakake directing new animated movie by Happy Science group:hyper :hyper
A website has been launched announcing the October release of the anime film adaptation of The Mystical Laws, a book by Ryuho Okawa, the founder of the controversial religious organization Happy Science (Kōfuku no Kagaku). The publishing arm of the organization will be producing the animated film alongside a live-action film adaptation of Okawa's Final Judgement. The group has sponsored a number of animated films in the past.
Cowboy Bebop set designer Isamu Imakake, who also directed the 2009 Happy Science film The Laws of Eternity, will be directing the film, and Okawa will oversee its overall production. The film takes place in 201X, when the newly-formed "Empire of Godom" is threatening to take over the world by using mysterious technology offered to them by Reika Chan, the mysterious female president of a trading company. The protagonist of the film Sho Shishimaru is the one man who has the "mystical technology" that can stop the Empire of Godom, but after being hunted down by the Empire, he is saved by "mysterious Indians," who tell him about a prophecy about the "second coming of a savior."
Various showings of Happy Science films have been held in the United States as far back as September 2000. In 2009, Fumiya Sato, author of Kindaichi Case Files, ran as one of 17 candidates representing the organization's political party Kōfuku Jitsugen-tō in Japan's legislative elections.
Hunter x Hunter 2011 - Ep 23
Alright, I remember the guardian scene being a bit more dramatic before, but I was young then
SHITFUCKGATARINo you.
No one cares about Shaft.
It was. New anime is faster, lighter, and more comedic than the original anime.Yeah I read about Hiatus x Hiatus. I hope they animate works further than greed island :/
Related news, Hunter x Hunter manga is on hiatus again. It was the longest uninterrupted run in quite a long time. It's not like Togashi JUST STARTED A NEW ARC LAST CHAPTER FUUUU
oh you're seriousI'm willing to bet that Nurarihyon, at least is better than your hiatusfest.
I'd rather count beans
I atually feel like watching Dual now. That was the greatest mecha parody series of all time imo
Just finished watchingMen in Black 2.5AnoNatsu 12... and almost a perfect ending. Not stereotypical, and finally plots and links to the original series that fans were clamoring for.
I reaaaally hate that they gave Shinobu a voice now.
Ep8
:rofl
that was greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. First ep to really channel that Bakemonogatari awkward perverse comedy. Best intro to incest ep ever! The part where Tsukihi comes in and they freak out in sync was so hilarious. omg. Also I love how Tsukihi is animated like a 1950s Disney character :lol
when did Araragi turn into a pervert obsessed with feeling up underage girls?His vampiric bloodlust was replaced with this. It's always there, just wasnt seen as much in Bakemono

I like Persona 4, but the anime is bland and purposeless, utterly lacking in any kind of identity other than what it derives from being a frame-for-frame retelling of the game. I guess it's okay if you don't want to devote the time to play the game, but if you've played the game already then there's really no reason to watch the anime.

Loved it overall though, just wish there was more of it.
That looks terrible though. Looks like Noir & Canaan. But maybe I shouldn't judge it by the awful art. Will see what people say about it. Please tell me it's not beetrain at least?

Okay, I have to stop you guys, where do you guys gets this idea of "OVA quality"
Being an OVA is not a measure of animation/drawing quality/depth it just means its direct to DVD releases. (mostly)
And back in the day, OVAs were always noticeably better-looking/animated than their TV counterparts.
Back in the day, ova quality meant quality animation. compare hellsing ova to hellsing tv. or kenshin ova to kenshin tv. it's pretty simple.

No, this really isnt a thing, it's a perception. My young brain may be lying to me but I remember crap like the Hunter x Hunter OVA series being on par, if not regressing in animation quality from the TV series. Assuming a similar budget, quality goes down as series length goes up, be that a TV series or an OVA.
Bubblegum Crisis was no better than the rest :/

Uninstall old CCCP then Install latest one: http://cccp-project.net/
And at the settings page, tick LAV for H.264 then disable vsync/accurate vsync via MPC --> View --> Renderer Settings.
That's it.
Alternatively you can use PotPlayer: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148745 Should work right out of the box.
Any other new shows this season to check out after Lupin and before E7 AO and the Watanabe show? Like shows that actually might be good?
Was Space Bros ep1 good?Very, watch it!
It's an optional thing I did because LAV codec stuttered for me with vsync ticked on. Anyway make sure you are using EVR custom pres. under View --> Options --> Playback (Output).You don't need 64bit players.

Turns out I didn't have the latest CCCP. :-[ Already seems much smoother with the latest pack installed.
But I can't disable vsync/accurate vsync via MPC --> View --> Renderer Settings...it's greyed out.
Upotte!!
Rating: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Let… let me see if.. let me see if I can explain this…
Seishou Academy is host to a bunch of moe girls who are also assault rifles, which is not a metaphor.
The lead character is FNC, an anthropomorphized Belgian rifle with a skeleton butt (which is a particular kind of gun butt, not that her butt is a skeleton… forget it), which is why she wears a thong..? She nearly has an orgasm one day at the local fair when a human boy shows up and demonstrates perfect rifle-handling form at the shooting gallery booth. She keeps imagining his big rifle-fondling hands on her, and can't help herself. This is how the show begins.
So all the girls in the school are also guns, and all of their sex organs correlate to a part on a rifle – their chest is the hand guard, their vaginas are apparently the muzzle and the butt is also the butt. One girl gets sick with stomach pains and goes in to first aid, where the nurse tells her her spring is out of whack while pressing on her belly, which makes a bunch of mechanical gun noises. So their insides are all gun parts, I guess, but they have squishy moe anime girl exteriors. It isn't like other things where the anthropomorphized OS or gaming console girls are just extensions of the product's identity, these girls are supposed to literally be assault rifles in moe girl form.
(http://i.imgur.com/MByQv.jpg)
Later we learn all the different types of gun-girl-crazy goddamn mutant hybrid monsters what the hell is going on in this show that there are, each one with a different moe personality. Eventually FNC meets up with the human teacher and he puts his hands on her head, which nearly gives her an… orgasm? Uncontrolled fire? I DON'T KNOW. Then she shoots him, for the second time in the episode. The end!
So here's what I'm going to give Upotte!! the credit it truly deserves: this is some of the absolute craziest, dumbest, weirdly creepiest shit I have ever seen in my life. Whoever is responsible for this show was out of their goddamn mind and it feels like someone said “hey, anyone wanna trigger another one of those “wacky crazy Japan!” American news articles? Let's freak everyone out!” It is bananas.
Watch Upotte!! if you are one of the following:
A person who honestly just wants to see how completely bonkers they're apparently willing to get these days in the anime industry
A dude who has such a strong gun fetish that you want to f*ck your guns but until now haven't really had a proper way to fantasize about doing that
But one thing is absolutely for certain: there are two eras in anime history. A time before Upotte!! existed, and now, which is where we're at.
We're through the looking glass, people.
I don't want to read a manga about jerking off :(
Which reminds me, you wanted something bit on the short side and complete, right?
Read this then: http://myanimelist.net/manga/219/Alive:_Saishuu_Shinkateki_Shounen
It's a decent shounen read considering how the writer wrote half of it on his death bed. Fucking cancer.

Yes, i like it sue me. Came in the post today
I am never going to take a mcd suggestion ever again. A manga about jacking off? Really? Jormungand is good. Enjoy, Rumbler.It's not bad actually, a friend of mine suggested it to me a while back and I had the same misgivings about the manga, however after giving it a chance a few days ago, I do not regret reading it. Reminds me of Unbalance X Unbalance in a way, which is good.
Came in the post today
Always has an interest in that (kinda). Does it feature norse mythology?
i don't know why people are fixated on that masturbation manga,it's a story about a guy moping about a girl,that's what you want to read? not the one with the giant robots? the fights? the monsters? bunch of sopping vagina's i tell yaHe mopes for what is at best 6 chapters in the middle. He goes from scum > heartbroken > redemption. The redemption arc makes up for all the sobiness and the scum arc is pretty dumb fun mostly.
That looks terrible though. Looks like Noir & Canaan. But maybe I shouldn't judge it by the awful art.
Gonna start watching Broken Blade tonight. Hope it's good mecha times.
The Eureka Seven AO blu-rays are going to have English subs. 9 volumes at 6560 yen each.So everyone will just DL rips of the Blu-rays then. Still need to watch the first two seasons anyway.
No streaming options for English speakers.
Lupin III - The Woman Called Fujiko Mine episode 02
Easily one of the coolest, most stylish animes since Cowboy Bebop. The look, the music, the characters, it's all perfectly tailored for anime fans that still remember back when the industry wasn't trying to squeeze every last cent out of the lowest common denominator.
Watched Jormungand ep1 - was better than I expected. Fairly well made and paced. But show is not for me. Don't like the main girl at all and the whole concept of the show being about horrible murderers but hey it's filled with light comedy! Just comes across as :yuck
Soo... I never watched all of Eureka Seven back in the day even though I bought all the DVDs... and with AO coming out I figured I should get on that.
Just finished episode 20 where Renton goes nuts in the blood-soaked Nirvash and slaughters a bunch of KLF units. WTF.
Kurenai OVA [gleam][Commie]
This set of OVAs are based more on the manga than the anime series. It contains some characters that only appear in the manga.
How the hell did you stand Mysterious Girlfriend X? The comic was just... :yuck.
Done with Bakuman season 2. Interesting show.
Definitely looking forward to season 3.

Kids on the Slope
(http://i.imgur.com/Jaenl.jpg)
Shinichiro Watanabe's new anime tv series, with Yoko Kanno tagging along. We talked about the supposed homosexual overtones before, and while they show up in the first episode, it's not really overt or anything. Like Space Brothers, this is also a refreshing anime television drama, but instead of reaching for the stars, it's down to Earth, almost slice of life. The first episode shows a lot of potential. It seems like it'll be like K-on! except you know...good, with a bit of Nodame thrown in for good measure. Bonus points if you're a jazz fan. Look at the album covers inside the jazz shop!
These three shows are really good examples as to why I became an anime fan in the first place and I'm not even done watching the rest of the shows I want to check out this season.
The fact that I can watch them legally without supporting subbers is just the icing on the cake.
Does Gundam AGE stream?
good loli fanservice show.
Seems like mecha shows just don't stream in general. AO, AGE, EVOL.
There's this idea out there that English speakers don't care for shows with giant robots and want girl panties instead. Not sure where this comes from, all of the guys I know would rather see a good robot action show than a good loli fanservice show.
I think it's more than just Toonami. Gundam SEED failed big time on Cartoon Network, and 00 and Gurren Lagann on Sci-Fi did jack squat. Geass did arlight on AS, but I don't know if that was due to it having mecha or not.
I still need to watch Code Geass. I guess at this point I can get it in HD now...I have DVD rips from a few years back.YES, yes you do. Right now.
I still need to watch Code Geass.Don't listen to anyone, this show is a clusterfuck of bad.

Started watching season 2 of Black Lagoon, so far the story arc with the twins is TERRIBLE.It's actually the second best arc. once you've completed it will bounce around in your mind for a while
No, it just doesn't work. I understand what they were going for with that, but it's like if you watch the first half of a movie and it's Arnold Schwarzenegger shooting a thousand dudes and then in the second half he's narrating a documentary about war atrocities in Africa. It doesn't gel. The creators spend all this time showing you over-the-top violence and crazy action scenes and the show's about these cold-hearted sons-of-guns who kills a hundred dudes [but they're still lovable] and then it's like "Oh, actually their whole world is totally screwed up and sadistic. Also, you're a bad person for enjoying this," before going right back to the over-the-top violence and crazy action scenes.Graduates of the Hideo Kojima school of filmmaking, Perhaps? Still need to watch BL season 2 and the OVAs myself. If they're half as rad as the first seaon I'll be happy.
Plus, the whole psycho-killer, giggling kids thing has been done to death.

Also this arc is almost exclusively for the benefit of progressing
Plus, the whole psycho-killer, giggling kids thing has been done to death.
Yes, I've seen the whole arc already. Didn't change my initial opinion of it, just gave me more fodder to articulate why I disliked it.I liked it very much, well as much as you can like killing children. I thought it did a good job of articulating how fucked up that world actually is and how much rock stands out like a sore thumb. Rock was pretty powerless against Bala and at asserting his own sense of good on the situation in the end, which helps explain his motivations and strength in the last arc.

Don't watch Evol if you haven't seen Aquarion. The entire selling point of the series is the connections to the previous series which ended on a sort of to be continued in 12,000 years.
Plus Aquarion so far, is 10x better of a show than Evol.
People, like Mr. Gundam, who think Aquarion (the original) is creepy never stuck with it. It's a good show, especially if you like mecha. It's a prime example of not judging a book by its cover. The show has a lot of heart and humor.
Loved Eureka Seven. Liking Eureka Seven AO so far. This and Gundam AGE are all that I'm watching right now.

The official website of the anime studio Kyoto Animation (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, K-ON!) announced the results of the third Kyoto Animation Award program on Friday. However, the studio awarded no grand prizes or honorable mentions in the manga or novel categories.
The judges committee thanked creators for submitting their works but said they could select no winning works after reviewing the submissions. This year was the first time that the awards program did not include a scenario category. Kyoto Animation offered 500,000-yen (about US$6,200) grand prizes and 100,000-yen (US$1,200) honorable mention prizes in this year's awards.

12:00 a.m. - Bleach - concentrated poopNot bad
12:30 a.m. - Deadman Wonderland - middling
1:00 a.m. - Casshern Sins - great
1:30 a.m. - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhoo - poop
1:00 a.m. - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG - excellent
2:30 a.m. - Cowboy Bebop - excellent
The appeal of Toonami back in the day was coming home from school and watching rad cartoons. That is what built up their audience. They think that people will tune into Toonami every night because a bunch of people who have nostalgia watching Toonami just like I described watched it on April 1? One night? Toonami faded out BECAUSE they stuck it in with Adult Swim instead of pandering to teenagers, y'know, the audience that made it popular to begin with.
I have interest in Casshern Sins and 2nd gig, will set up DVR for emCasshern Sins is pretty great. Stick with it past some of the more empty eps.

Space bros is starting to piss me off with pandering to people interested in Mutta's childish romances and the general slice of life it is right now. I watch Kids on the Slope for that, I want more working towards NASA and a faster progression on that plot thread instead of wasting a whole ep at a damn party where at best one interesting motivation to, and one to not become an astronaut was revealed.

Couldn't help myself, read the rest of the Zetman Kouga arc in manga form to see what happens next. I don't know if it's just that arc, but unlike the anime which is JUSTICE and HEROES, the manga is kind of dirty softcore porn and violence in a Gantz-like way. That arc is really messed up! :-Xtl;dr it owns
Berserk Golden Age Chapter 1 :bow :bow :bow :bow
Man, Zetman, this is the best shounen anime I've seen since like Hikaru no Go and Kenshin. I like how the story is generally pleasing instead of taking the obvious angsty crap like having Kouga think Jin is a monster on the bad guy side and having misunderstandings and angsty sasuke/naruto shit. It's actually like THINGS WORK IN A SATISFYING WAY, which uh, surprisingly makes for a satisfying show! Who'd have thought. A show about bros.

Sounds like kimi ni todoke
In Watashi ga Motenai, Tomoko is cursed with impossibly-bad luck, is utterly wretched and loathsome while being simultaneously pitiable, and is the poster-child for Forever Alone. Her awkwardness is borderline unbearable, but also utterly hilarious.Sounds like a good Ying to Kimi ni's Yang. I'll give it a read in the future
I just found my new favorite manga: It's Not My Fault that I'm Not Popular [Watashi ga Motenai]. It's about the world's most socially-awkward girl and her attempts to not be so socially awkward, all of which invariably fail in the most embarrassing way popular.
Real anime is dead again, so there's no point.You guys have watched berserk then? You cant claim it dead until after watching it.
So I have some free time, looking for some neflix anime. Last Exile any good?you watching the new one or the old one? cant vouch for the new one yet but the old one is good
I really like how unique and surreal it is, unfortunately the song for the sequel is just bland J-Pop.
"Slice of life" is anime code for "it sucks."School Rumble, Natsu no Arashi (both kobayashi comedies) and Kimi ni Todoke are my favs. All slice of life shows dont have to be poop. There are stuff like Antique Bakery that fits into that genre too.
please don't watch school rumble,it starts funny enough but then it get all mopey and stupid "OH I LOVE HER BUT SHE DOESN'T LOVE ME BACK" *cue whining for the rest of the anime*I really enjoy the whining of people who didnt get to see their pairings happening, even in the manga kobayashi gave a big fuck you to pairing tards. If you were watching it for the pairings, and not the comedy the pairings created you are doing it wrong. Besides it's pretty much heavy handedly hinted at who Harima(Kobayashi's) life partner is (no it's not who he ends up with in the manga).
SZS counts as slice of awesome. How do you folks regard Casshern Sins? I got a random episode of it the other night and it had a genuine actual style to its artwork and reading a bit about the plot makes it sound potentially worthwhile.I think Casshern Sins is a top anime. I regard it very highly and it even sneaks into my Top 10 of all time lists when I am in the mood.The music is superb, the action scenes are well choreographed and tell a story themselves, the plot is a strange journey of depression and redemption in a pessimistic decaying world. The interplay between Dio and Casshern is fantastic. I just wish they fleshed out some of the chars more, but they all evolve very much throughout the show, Casshern the slowest for obvious reasons. They spend a lot of time touching on the Lore of the universe as well. And the music is out of this world great.
Walked into my brother's room and he was watching the Digimon movie lol. Man that had a good soundtrack though

Moretsu Pirates also ended. I really enjoyed it and it was nice to see an "early 90s-style" anime go on for 26 episodes without faltering along the way.
Moretsu Pirates, I felt, never got close to living up to the potential of the early episodes. Everything was played way too safe. Dramatic tension never had the time to build, action scenes got resolved too quickly, the characters rarely were anything other than totally pleasant to one another, there was a distinct lack of genuine piracy, and it just hardly ever felt like any real danger existed. Maybe the last 3 episodes really blow the lid off the thing, but I'm not holding out a great deal of hope there.

Hell, the Psychic Force games were based completely on X.
X was also the biggest troll in the history of manga. Writing it for 10 years, getting to the final climax cliffhanger and then abandoning the series lololollolololol
They never finished it?!
X started serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Asuka on May 1992. Publishing the series proved troublesome on account of its subject matter. The disasters it shows are reminiscent of ones that happened in Japan such as earthquakes or murders committed by juveniles. Serialization stopped in March 2003 and in March 2005 Clamp stated they were searching for a proper magazine to conclude it.
Yeah I thought JoJo's was still on-going?
The whole series is divided up into stories that take place in different times and places, IIRC, with only a few supporting characters that show up in multiple storylines. Different main characters too. I'd like to read it all some day.
I got the X PS1 game for 100 yen at some random video store in Ueno.
They never finished it?!
Clamp has yet to finish X. Apparently they say the intended ending is just too graphic and offensive. I guess their editors kinda freaked out on them in 2003 based on the material Either that or they're just lazy.QuoteX started serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Asuka on May 1992.

It's funny when even mature sounding anime like Mushi-Shi turn out to be focused on little children. Little children with a little too much wisdom for their age, of course. Fuck anime of this kind already, jesus.
Can anyone recommend me anime that does NOT REVOLVE AROUND LITTLE CHILDREN BEING CUTE? Something like Cowboy Bebop, or Gintama, or One Piece, or anything my god ANYTHING.

Finally plowing through my Eureka Seven DVDs. I remember watching the first few episodes while my wife was out on her bachelorette party... six years ago. :lol
Just finished episode 33 where the Coral Scub are fucking shit up. The show has done some interesting things I was not expecting. I know Japan is a different place, but the violent scenes are pretty shocking for a show that originally aired on Sunday mornings there.

Finished Eureka Seven last night. Awesome.
Watched the Eureka Seven movie this movie. Weird.spoiler (click to show/hide)The two universes are clearly related, as the movie universe is mentioned in the TV series, and the TV universe is shown multiple times in the movie.[close]
It's really the last "epic" mecha show we've gotten from Japan.
Fate/Zero
Best anime I've watched this year for real. One of the best out there.

The movie is so freaking bad. Best to not think they are related in any way.
Anyhow, glad you finally watched it. It's really the last "epic" mecha show we've gotten from Japan. The world's so big and developed and the scale is pretty spectacular. The scene in Ep49 where Holland rams into Dewey's mothership and starts firing is still incredible. The stuff with the monk and sakuya are great. As is the outspace stuff, the dancing ball, the stuff with anemone and THE END in the last few eps, and then the final episode is just COLOR OVERLOAD I CAN FLYYYYY LOVE & PEACE.
It definitely has its share of problems and they sort of drop the ball on proper plot wrap ups in the finale for LOVE & PEACE WILL SOLVE EVERYTHING; but even with its flaws. The art, the animation, the music, the characters, the mecha; it's such a good show.
Now you can start watching AO! I hear it's like LOST: the anime these days; which doesn't sound very promising. I need to catch up.
Watch Fate/Zero instead, Joe.
Master trolling at its finest.

Any of you mugs watching Muv-Luv? It's been decent so far, though the budget isn't particularly great and fan service does make an appearance about once or twice an episode. It does, however, have male characters that are thankfully more interesting than cardboard and a few female characters that won't make you want to stab your own eyes out [although there are a few there that might]. The first couple of episodes are like an anime version of Starship Troopers with high school girls and the next three have some Top Gun action going on.

There's also a scene in episode four that is ridiculously racist against the Japanese.

I don't give a fuck about DBZ anymore but I may watch this movie if it's a legit film and not a typical DBZ Goku annihilates everything film. I want the whole human cast, I was no super saiyan shit. Fuck
It's not even a mainstream contrarian thing, it's just that both dragonball and dragonballz wasnt well done. Especially in the case of Z. I liked Yamcha in Dragonball going all wolf fang fist with his mulleted self, but everything else just grated on me.
Do you like HxH? It's a teeny bit more "normal" still out there though, but not more than DragonBall.
Muv-Luv Alternative - Episode 06
Dreadful, absolutely dreadful.
I'm not against the Top Gun stuff, because that can be interesting, but everything in Episode 6 just made me want to bash my head against the wall. I'll give it one more episode, but if 7 is like 6, then I'm out.
And yeah, it's 26 episodes.
I just finished the ep where a new Kira appears - some little girl wuttt
haven't watched anime, read mangaYou're much better off than I
Gundam Seed was pretty good. Sure it was very angsty, but I enjoyed it. They did get it right with the insert songs though. I can't say I would listen to that song outside of Seed, but they sure chose to play it at some pretty great parts.

Segua Kingdom has been losing the war against Ninterdo Empire but the tables are turned by the appearance of a boy called Gear. All the characters are parodies of Nintendo or Sega games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda etc.
Players control Neptune, one of four goddess who is involved in a series of events known to many as the Console Wars. The story begins when the four goddesses are fighting each other, but this results in nothing after a while, so Black Heart comes up with a quick solution, which is picking which one of the four to remove from the battle right now. At this point, they all start to figure this out, and it eventually ends up that Neptune is chosen by majority. Unfortunately, Neptune bragged earlier that she could single-handedly defeat the other three goddesses, which results in a 1 vs. 3 fight against Neptune.
Looking at that chart I noticed that the first OAV of the new Code Geass came out a month ago. How was it?
I'm just looking forward to OAVs/Movies at this point. Can't wait for Gothicmade, Eva 3.33. Looking forward to Gundam Unicorn 6, and Geass OAV.

That's Akito the Exiled, right? I'm interested, but not interested enough to buy $70 volumes from Japan.
Maybe Funimation will pick it up. Who knows.Jesus. I have Esca, Bebop, and Geass already, what else is there that's worthwhile?
Speaking of Bandai, their entire catalog is going out of print in November, so buy up anything you still want ASAP.

So, we're basically down to Sentai and Funimation [and a few smaller outfits that might release one or two things in an entire year] and both of those are beginning to lean more heavily on streaming services.
Some really good recommends there Mr. Gundam. I personally disliked Scrapped Princess though, the show rubbed me the wrong way from the beginning.
I still can't believe that Millennium Actress never came out in the west on Blu-ray :\
The sad part is I can't even remember why, all I remember is a pathetic looking dude, a princess in a cloak and a carriage. I just know whenever I hear/read the name of the show it gives me chills and my flight instinct kicks in.
A bit like Samurai Seven then?

And Kamiyama is rumored to do more SAC now that it's done.
Is is just me or has the CG cel-shaded style not evolved since Vexille?
Kick-Heart is a love story between Romeo, a successful pro-wrestler, and Juliet, a nun who lives a secret double-life as a female pro-wrestler. Romeo's secret is that he enjoys taking a beating in the ring, while Juliet feels invigorated when facing her opponents as a wrestler. When the two meet in the ring, the fireworks fly. Their story is set in the colorful backdrop of the professional wrestling world. Will Juliet reveal her true identity to the one she loves? Will Romeo be able to share his secret to the world?

Also, the live-action Space Battleship Yamato movie's theme is a new Aerosmith song.You know, some of those heavy handed hammy manly moments in Yamato live action were so hammy they made me catch feels :'(

Weekly Playboy News released an interview with director Motohiro Katsuyuki and writer Urobuchi Gen about new anime Psycho-Pass. Monohiro said he didn't allow the production staff to use the word "moe" in the discussion meeting. "This anime goes against the current trend of anime industry. So it'll either be a complete failure or a great success." Urobuchi said Motohiro protects him from noitamina producer's demands to add appealing elements for female audience.
Urobuchi said this anime has cruel scenes both physically and mentally. Motohiro joked that he wanted kids audience to have a trauma for life by watching this anime.
K was less so.
The second episode of Jojo was amazing.
MAPPA, the new anime studio headed by MADHOUSE founder Masao Maruyama, confirmed with ANN on Monday that it is working with director Shinichiro Watanabe (Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Kids on the Slope) on an original television anime series.

The anime studio BONES confirmed with ANN on Tuesday that it is working with director Shinichiro Watanabe (Macross Plus, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Kids on the Slope) on an original television anime series. The studio said that the title and broadcast timeframe are still in planning.

Man, that new series that parodies the console war between Nintendo and Sega was utterly abysmal. They took a generic-as-hell fantasy series with requisite fanservice, paper-thin characters, and terrible pacing and threw in a few nods to old videogames. Don't even bother.
Yep, it starts out as so bad that it's good, but then it just gets so bad that it's bad. And apparently the second episode doesn't even come out until next year. :lol

Evangelion 3.0 came out in Japan today. Early reports sound like a mega mind fuck.
Big spoiler:spoiler (click to show/hide)14 year time jump since the end of 2.22.[close]
And I don't have any fucking clue what's going on here:
http://i.imgur.com/ozVK9.jpgspoiler (click to show/hide)So Asuka is finally legal? Otaku will claim she's too old.[close]
I don't know much about this, but it seemsspoiler (click to show/hide)Asuka and the new girl with the glasses stopped aging so that they could conveniently stay fan-servicey teenage types.[close]
That's both absurd and disgusting.spoiler (click to show/hide)Being exposed to the LCL stops aging in Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Mari and Kaworu. They haven't aged in 14 years.... the same time when End of Evangelion came out... jab at fans not growing up and moving on?[close]
First episode was cool but PD, I wouldn't watch unfinished shows if I were you.

Sailor Moon manga is perfect for a little girl.Cool. Thanks. I was thinking it would make a good introductory manga for my niece and well I was aware it has been getting a new release.
And is this real? I never saw a news item about it on ANN.

If not, whats a good starting a manga for a 7-8 girl?
Episode 9 is the end of the first arc. Episode 10 will introduce a new cast of characters.

The best manga is getting animated!
has anyone else read Flowers of Evil? It's fucking cray.
semi-autobiographical manga about a kid in highschool and this girl who basically manipulates him into going with his worst influences
New Hunter X Hunter anime is now past the redundant inferior rendition of the first few arcs. It should handle the Greed Island arc better than the original. Then in a couple months the Chimera arc will finally be animated :heartI thought HxH 2011 did a better job of doing the first few arcs.spoiler (click to show/hide)It's the only anime I've watched in 2012 :-\[close]
Attack on Titan anime is cool news. I read the manga for a bit and it was rad. Hope they don't tone down the gruesomeness of the manga.
Awesome. So 2014 at the earliest for NA, right?

Megazone 23 Part 1 and 2: Hands down some of the best anime out there. Both are fast paced so nothing even feels like filler or slow paced. Both have characters that are belviable and feel well....rather realistic. Just really good fun.
Yoshiaki Kawajiri is a perfectionist. In multiple interviews, he's pointed out that when he finishes a movie and watches the final product, he feels a weird mixture of immense satisfaction at the finer points and dissatisfaction and the stuff he should've done better. His journey as a filmmaker has been about trying to minimize that sense of dissatisfaction. To him, doing so requires a great deal of autonomy; “I tend to be difficult to work with if I'm not given my freedom,” he glibly remarked during a Q&A session at Sakura-con this year.

I've been watching another contemporary classic: Golden Boy.Golden Boy is so great. I haven't seen it in years.
It basically puts all the modern fan service shows to absolute shame. Nice animation, good sense of humor, a main character that isn't some blank slate, and female characters that aren't children [or relatives of the main character]. It mainly works because it's actually funny, a concept that modern shows can't seem to grasp. And the OP is absolute money:

I must join Momo in the HunterXHunter love. It's pretty much my favorite show along with JoJo atm. Episode 61 was so good looking/well made, just good shit. Especially the ending which was :heartbeatGreed Island wasnt my favorite arc, but it's been well paced so far, it felt a lot slower the first time round :heart
I'm sorry I wan an ass to you that one time, Junpei.
Since it's been long enough ago, I'm feeling like going on a 90's nostalgic kick for a while. That, and I've pretty much drained the 80's well dry already. Recommend me some awesome 90's anime, like really obscure stuff that I've probably never heard of before. Stuff like Golden Boy [which I'm watching right now] or the Future GPX Cyber Formula franchise [which I'm also watching right now], but obviously not those in particular.

New Ghost in the Shell anime.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-01-15/ghost-in-the-shell-arise-anime-to-launch-in-2013
Could be good, but so far it seems be from a new team and not a SAC continuation, so that kind of sucks.
Has anyone read all of Flowers of Evil? I'm up to the 4th volume but it doesn't really seem to be progressing in any direction whatsoever so I am not quite convinced to stick with it at this point.
The "corrupt pure-love story" revolves around Takao Kasuga, a literary-minded boy who loves the poems of Charles Baudelaire (the original author of the poetry collection Les Fleurs du mal or Flowers of Evil). One day after school, he discovers and steals the gym clothes of Nanako Saeki, the girl he has a crush on. However, he learns that Sawa Nakamura, a girl he loathes, happens to catch him in the act. Nakamura blackmails Kasuga into a "contract," or else she will reveal his secret.

Fake edit: Tow Ubukata's work on Mardock Scramble ain't half bad [lots of dark, weird scifi stuff] and Kazuchika Kise is a veteran animator, so I'm certainly not going to right this off without giving it a chance. Plus, you know, it's MORE GHOST IN THE SHELL, so yeah.

Since I'm back in Japan and have easy access to the video store's massive anime catalog, I keep thinking I should rent something and enjoy it while I can. Current plans have me back in the USA later this year, so I have between 2~10 months. I liked Ranma 1/2, Giant Robo, original Dirty Pair, Evangelion (though I couldn't watch it without translation), and Ghibli stuff.
Where should I point myself first?

Did you ever see The Irresponsible Captain Tylor? It's older (1993, IIRC) but was a great comedy/space opera. Had a 26 episode TV series and a number of OVAs.

I'll second that. And also recommend anything with "Patlabor" in the title.

Fafner was weird. Those weird scratch things on everyone's faces were funny, too.
Pretty decent PSP game, btw.
Mecha Anime For People Who Like Characters That Aren't Whiny
Patlabor - Slightly unhinged, perhaps, but mostly just ordinary people doing an honest day's work as public servants [even if they are not well thought of by the public and generally cause accidental collateral damage]. Mostly a light-hearted franchise, especially in the second OVA series. The 3 movies are generally much darker and more serious minded, basically Mamoru Oshii being Mamoru Oshii. Good for cleaning a palette dirtied by emo pretty boys and half-naked lolis.
The Big O - Without getting into the minute details, this is basically Japanese Batman [who happens to pilot a giant robot]. The story centers around Roget Smith, a suave playboy who helps people with problems and usually resorts to using his giant robot when things inevitably get out of hand. Highlights include lots of standalone scifi stories, a retro artstyle, and a soundtrack that's just spectacular.
Gurren Lagann - A series that perfectly encapsulates what first drew people to Gainax all those year ago, but without a whiny emo lead. It's loud, it's vibrant, it's totally over-the-top. Aside from the 27 episode series, there's also two recap movies.
Dai-Guard - The English tagline was "Officer workers saving the world," which is a pretty good summary. The three pilots of Dai-Guard aren't anyone special, they're not even military, they were three people who were picked by a corporation to watch over a giant robot that was built as a marketing gimmick years ago. Unfortunately, giant monster appear and they're the only people that know anything about piloting the robot. The leads are likable, ordinary people, with the main pilot being an excitable guy who just really loves giant robots.
Escaflowne - Someone got their shoujo in my mecha! Yeah, that's what this one is, it's a giant robot series set in a weird fantasy world and this girl gets pulled from the real world into the fantasy world and falls in love with this wild guy who pilots a giant robot [and this other really handsome guy that maybe also piloted a robot, I can't remember, anyone he was SO HOT]. Anyway, it's a Shoji Kawamori x Yoko Kanno joint [with Shinichiro Watanabe doing storyboards and Kazuki Akane handling direction], so you know it's gotta be good. And it is really good. Stay away from the movie, though, since the whole reason you're interested in this list is to get away from the emo.
Martian Successor Nadesico - The main character is reluctant, but I wouldn't call him emo. He just wants to be a cook, not a giant robot pilot. He's also an anime love, who regularly watches show-within-the-show Gekiganger 3, which is a clear homage to the giant robot series of the 70's. It does have its more series moments [especially in the sequel movie], but it's generally a much more light-hearted affair than certain other giant robot shows, and the oddball crew is perfect for rooting for.
Mobile Fighter G Gundam - This is not the Gundam you're familiar with. This is over-the-top, ridiculous Gundam, made abundantly clear by the giant robot that rides a giant robot horse that is actually piloted by a real horse. Not to be taken seriously.
Star Driver - The most fabulous mecha anime ever made.
You guys need to be watching Psycho-Pass, it's the feel bad anime of the Winter 2013 season!

My opinion is different from yours. He's a bitch the entire first arc and the second arc consists of him being even more bitchified by being a plastic copy of a better man.Simon from Gurren Lagann is the biggest emo kid on the block thoughOh no he is'nt.
In the beginning he kind of acts like a normal kid would. Scared, but yet excited about his robot. He needs a push from his bro after all he is still a kid.
After a certain incident yeah he gets pretty down, but here it actually makes sense and so I doubt most will find it annoying.
After that Simon is nothing but awesome.

Yes, Azumanga Daioh! I've never laughed so hard and so often at an anime before. Are there others on its level?
Daily Lives of High School Boys
A much better series than I ever expected it would be. It's basically a high school slice of life show, but with mostly male characters and a greater tendency towards absurdist humor [ala KyoAni's Nichijou]. I think it's actually consistently funnier than Nichijou, even if it doesn't quite get AS funny as Nichijou's best scenes. One thing that really stands out to me as that nearly every female character in the series is either psychotic, violent, or both, which is incredibly fresh in an industry increasingly dominated by innocent, demure young girls who are always polite and friendly. If you wanna laugh, this is the show you should be watching. Plus, there aren't many animes with acoustic guitars in the soundtrack.
This clip sums up the show pretty well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTzPyMI2cFI

Kid's with his OCD, Crono who can't deal with anything, Blackstar's boasting... its all good fun. Too bad Maka and Soul are the main duo and happen to be the most boring characters. Fights are pretty boring too. I wish there was more action but I'll stick with it till the end

Humanity Has Declined [Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita] is the name of the series, and it is fantastic.
Well I started watching Fate/Zero. Never been inclined to touch anything Type Moon, but this seems kind of ok.It's 2012 anime of the year. You are in for a treat.

If you guys could recommend one anime that is available for streaming through legitimate means, one that doesn't pack tropes that make me want to commit suicide, and one that is really solid... what would it be? I'm asking this now because I'm noticing a growing collection of anime on Hulu, Netflix, etc.

I've... Never heard of Crunchyroll. One quick look at their collection and I can determine whether they're covering everything or not. Subbed? Dubbed? Legit? Charging for torrents?
What's the deal?
Episode 2 of Gargantia really sold me on the show. Not to say that I didn't like the first episode, but the second basically has got me committed to the rest of the series. It showed this lighter, more adventurous spirit that's lacking in shows these days. It's either grim dark action show or meaningless fluff, without much inbetween. Anime like Ghibli's Nausicaa or Gainax's Nadia, going to cool places and doing awesome things. The art style is really great, lots of detail in the rusted, pieced-together world of the future and the characters designs are appealing without being cutesy. And all the little details are nice, like the wing pack that Amy uses or how communication between the two sides is still handled through an interpreter. It's really good.
Let me guess...they all want his dick, right?
Really liking Space Brothers but my girlfriend and I are kind of in awe at Polar Bear Cafe.
Wait the one on the left is a dude?

In the second episode, Amy says that he has skinny arms and doesn't look very masculine. :lol
Should I watch Fate Stay Night?
MCD you weren't kidding. Fate Zero starts a bit slow, but everything is paying off now in the 2nd half. This show is great. It's smart, engaging, and well just kind of a breath of fresh air for a returning anime fan. I mean pretty much every character in this show is well written and yet non of them are really bad. They all have sound motivations and some honest depth. Really the only character I don't care for is ironically the series mascot, Saber.
I don'nt know, but I'm nearing the finish line and the series has had some pretty amazing episodes. Episode 16 in particialr was great and it keeps going.
Should I watch Fate Stay Night?
Yeah, it was good I guess. Typical Harry Potter/magic school cliche stuff.
Are any of those other animator training project OVAs worth watching? Nobody seems to mention anything but this one.
Valvrave the Liberator is going to be a constant battle between my disgust for dumb higher schoolers and my love of mechs with flashing lights. Chances are I'll love the show but hate myself for it :'(
First episode was okay. I'll stick with it for now

It is slice of life/romance/psychology? Doesn't look like it.Well it's an odd bird, it sits in the romance/slice of life genre for sure, but there has been no romance except some boy x boy lust and the slice of life they choose to portray are a bunch of abnormal situations. The easy setup for romance is in there for sure, but I get the impression they are putting it there to mislead. This will probably end in a weird way like school rumble, the title of the anime at least indicates a deviation from the norm.
Attack on Titan has a good one, but everybody knows that Muromi-san's OP is the best of this season:I quite like Karneval's OP, still second to AoT though. Both are losers compared to Aku no Hana's ending.

The June issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Newtype magazine is reporting on Friday that previously revealed new anime from director Hiroyuki Imaishi (Dead Leaves, Gurren Lagann, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt) is the battle action television anime Kill La Kill.
Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren Lagann, Nodame Cantabile: Finale, Re: Cutie Honey) is supervising and writing the scripts, and acclaimed animator Sushio (key animator on Gurren Lagann and new Evangelion films, character designer on Engage Planet Kiss Dum) is designing the characters. The untitled project will be at Imaishi's relatively new studio Trigger. Aniplex registered the kill-la-kill.jp domain name.
The story centers around two fiercely fighting schoolgirls, Ryūko Matoi and Satsuki Kiryūin. On a campus ruled by force, a transfer student wielding a Basami sword brings about upheaval.
Nakashima: "In Trigger terms, I think it will be a work that has Inferno Cop's soul and Little Witch Academia's attention to detail."
Q: This sounds familiar. Did that happen during TTGL, too?
N: During the show (leo). Six years ago, Imaishi ripped up the finished script for Episode 1 while screaming "The drill in my heart won't spin with shit like this!"

Bonus:QuoteQ: This sounds familiar. Did that happen during TTGL, too?
N: During the show (leo). Six years ago, Imaishi ripped up the finished script for Episode 1 while screaming "The drill in my heart won't spin with shit like this!"
N: Initially we were making a battle-manga type show, but it changed to character drama. The battle-show planned for a complete story ended up becoming a work where regular characters' development/drama will be thoroughly explored. The work coincidentally became much more interesting from there.
Q: What sort of action do you want to do this time?
I: Hand-to-hand combat (or basically fighters literally throwing themselves at each other). We only had three episodes of that in TTGL. I've always wanted to do an all-out battle between characters with Nakajima at the helm (writing).
N: Yes, it's like the Yoko vs. Adiane fight (from the TTGL film) for the whole thing.
Q: What sort of characters are Matoi Ryuuko and Kiryuuin Satsuki?
I: Ryuuko and Satsuki are developed through their clashing. Initially, Ryuuko was a bit gloomy/introverted character, but we gave her a brighter personality because Satsuki is cool and hard as ice.
N: Both of them are main characters. Their universe has uniforms that match an individual's talents/skills and give them respective powers, and Satsuki is trying to rule the Academy with that uniform's power. Ryuuko resists this movement. It'll be a sculptured drama centered around both of them.

Let's be fair here- these shows air on cable/satellite channels, usually very late at night or very early in the mornings, and it's not like cable channels here couldn't air the same thing- for as much crazy perverted shit as they have, we have gotten "worse" in stuff like South Park and the like.

Regardless, mentioning that series was more in response to magus acting like he'd found some secret, underground manga that nobody knows about because its the most reprehensible thing that's ever been made. Koe de Oshigoto is published in a semi-mainstream manga magazine! Alongside fairly well-known titles like Mahoromatic, Ikki Toussen, Candidate for Goddess, and Moon Phase.
Just wait until magus finds out about Kodomo no Jikan. :lol

Do you know many comic magazines there are? I lived over there and frequented bookshops- never heard of "Comic Gum." It's listed as a magazine series targeted at the 18+ crowd, so it's not going to be where Jump and the like are I guess. I certainly did see the collected editions for comics like Ikkitousen displayed though.
I'd never heard of Koe No Oshigoto until you guys just started talking about it here. :P Thanks Magus for bringing more weirdness to light.

But you've probably heard of Ikki Tousen, though. My point being that this isn't some underground series that's being released in secret, it's in a manga magazine alongside series that a lot of people know about and have had English-language releases.

I need catch up on Psycho Pass. It is a very good GITS-like.
Hayao Miyazaki's new movie Kaze Tachinu opens in Japan on July 20. Today they had a press conference where they announced the full cast and screened the 4 minute trailer to the press for the first time. The trailer screens in cinemas across Japan starting this weekend. But that's not what I'm here to share with you. You can check out details about the movie and pretty posters in Sculli's thread here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=541425
I'm here to talk to you about the amazing audio production details for this movie. It is either an act of true artistic genius, or Miyazaki has lost his marbles due to old age. It's hard to tell which is which yet, but the producer confirmed at the press conference that the film will feature a mono only soundtrack and that for the fighter plane engine sound effects, they've decided to employ a technique of recording effects produced by human vocals.
This, combined with the fact that the lead role in the film is played by Hideaki Anno, makes the audio in the film potentially jarring. Anno is the director of Evangelion. He's 53 years old, and he's not a professional voice actor or normal actor in any capacity. He is an animator and a director. But it doesn't seem to have deterred Miyazaki from casting him in the lead role of a young man. Super weird.
The movie looks pretty interesting, and is definitely one of the most realistic and heaviest films which Miyazaki has ever made, but this is just starting to sound strange. I understand the desire to want to do "old things" to capture the 1920s era, which the film is set in, but I dunno if this is a great idea considering how mainstream Ghibli is, and the normal expectations attached to a big blockbuster film from the studio and from Miyazaki. Lol.

Funimation announced Eva 3.33 today.i
Excellent. And hopefully another limited cinema release in the States like last time. It was so awesome to see Eva on the big screen.

First 8 minutes of Arise with English subtitles:

So those are worth watching, then?I liked Ghost Hound, had pretty good animation from what I remember. It's a teenagers turn into heroes kind of thing, with a pretty good hook I thought.

Aside from Eric P,there's not enough manga talk in here. I recently finished Mardock Scramble. Altogether it was a decent series,with okay to really good art(partically the action scenes). Also the artist of the series did a one shot called Koe no Katachi which is a about a deaf girl being bullied. it's great. It's also gonna be turned into a series.

Going to finish Majestic Prince and then watch Gargantia. Is that one 11 or 12 episodes?

Gargantia is probably 24 episodes, ep 11 is the most recent.
Rumbler, what was that other anime you recommended besides Attack on Titan the last time I came here asking for suggestions? I resubbed to Crunchyroll.
We all grow up to realize 99% of shonen is shit. Togashi is the only shonen creator to not befall this fate to my mind.

As far as I can tell, Gargantia is 13 episodes.
Watch Space Brothers, Shaka. It is long but worth it. Watch Kids on the Slope, new anime from Bebop creator that features gayness. You will like. Watch Lupin: Fujiko Mine, Psycho Pass on Funimation.com. Fujiko Mine is the most stylish anime since Bebop. Owns.Oda is still pretty young though so he has time to make a stinker (not that I think he will) I havent really read any of Araki's other works, but Jojo for sure will stay the test of time. Toriyama eh, nah that dude, Kubo Tite and Kishimoto are the definition of growing up and realizing they made shit.We all grow up to realize 99% of shonen is shit. Togashi is the only shonen creator to not befall this fate to my mind.
Oda and Toriyama (young goku owns). Also, Jojo.

Anything over 18 is generally Josei, some are meant for older ladies but yeah. Shoujo (for younger pre-18 girls) are usually angsty or idolized love story stuff. Like Kimi ni Todoke.
how action heavy is the new GitS? I don't like the character design and I don't trust them to write anything even borderline intelligent, so the only way I will downgrade from staring at my bedroom wall to watching anime is if the action is good.
There are always komas.Yeah, but this is a prequel, so they'll probably just be glorified vehicles again.
There aren't tachikoma's but there should be fuchikoma's. Maybe.

Arise was pretty cool. Lots of nicely choreographed action and a plot that feels pretty Gits-ish. Really not disappointed at all.
The music sucks though.

Just watched the first episode of Attack on Titan. :oJust finished the 8th episode. It's 6:40am. This is the type of anime I need you fucks to tell me about!
It's soon going to turn into Attack on Pacing.
perfect adaptation then!Is the manga done? Other than pace, does it ever actually get bad?
(it just takes a lot less time to read then watch)
MY problem with Berserk in Dark Age is that it starts out great, and then Guts builds up this party of KIDS and shit and it feels like a fucking shounen story when it supposed to be goddamn seinen because he has a pack of children and annoying people trailing behind him. FUCK. The only one I can stand is Puck. Please tell me that Isidro and that stupid LOLI WITCH and her fairy die.My only problem with him acquiring a whole RPG party is that it took FORVER for them to get anywhere. I hope they find the god damned fairy king the second they step off that fucking ship.
FUCK, NO KIDS. GOD
How often does Berserk's author put out chapters now? I gave up trying to keep track of it like 2 years ago.perfect adaptation then!Is the manga done? Other than pace, does it ever actually get bad?
(it just takes a lot less time to read then watch)
Lol beezy. Read the thread more often bud. :(What else should I be watching then? Already heard of Gargantia and Valvrave. Gonna watch the first eps of both soon and end up marathoning em also if I like what I see.
Edit: Forgot to ask: if you could only pay for one, which is worth more/has the better shows? Crunchyroll or Funimation? Thinking of cancelling my netflix for a month or two and catching up on all the good anime I've missed. I can do it. I excel at back to back marathon runs of tv shows.
You can suck me later.:pacspit
Dowman Sayman's style wouldn't work in long-form.
And most of his work is pornographic, by the way.
Benn watching Psycho-Pass. I like how fast it moves, but the pace is kind of jarring at the same time. Nothing against character development, but everything seems to fall into place too neatly.
Something I don't get about the tech. What the hell do people actually wear? The holo clothing seems to become corporeal, but that makes no sense.
Episode 9, the hunter with the cybernetic bodyspoiler (click to show/hide)is about to go after Kogami.[close]
Aku no Hana 13The manga is better
It was alright I guess. The show is good, not great. I like the art. It's unfortunate the emotionally stunted legion of weeaboos can't appreciate the rotoscoping. I think it looks good and works well.

Valvrare is by Sunrise I see. I'll give it a shot then.They had this amazing ending.
What all you like, but her attractiveness plays a part in Takao's psyche as well as the uneasiness one feels when seeing her as a social outcast.

:what
Is Valvrave actually a good show, because that 1st episode was awful and I'm not sure if this is another CG situation where people like it because it's insane. Thats why people like Geass right?I think its something like that for most people. It's nowhere near as insane though.
I mean having an Angela song is already a mark of badness.

Wolfsmund is a dark historical manga set in the early 14th century of Europe (Switzerland). The story revolves around the eponymous fortress in the St. Gotthard Pass which is ruled by a sadistic tyrant. Basically, each chapter deals with characters who for some reason have to cross the pass and who end up getting interrogated by the mentioned tyrant.
The author pulls no punches to show us just how brutal and inhuman the Middle Ages really were.
Just finished Gargantia. Chamber my nicca.
I'm not sure what I'll start next. I'm sticking to Crunchyroll for now though cause it's so convenient. I remember when I originally joined there in 07 when it was a fucking joke. What a turnaround.
What else from the past year I may have missed?

Bandai
Beginning with the Mobile Suit Gundam anime and feature film in 1979, the mech media and merchandise empire and its spinoffs have traditionally sorta centered around one or more youths hopping inside awesome humanoid mechs to stop civil wars between people living on Earth and those who’ve colonized space. This fall the newest iteration of the franchise, Gundam Build Fighters, is about a middle-school student who is really good at building Bandai’s plastic Gundam model kits… and then battling them like Pokemon with friends and rivals.
i guess this was inevitableQuoteBandai

THe new HxH got so much better after the Hunter exam. About to start the Greed Island section which I always heard was shitty in the original. I hope they shortened it here.
Btw, what's the deal with Japan and flamboyant villains? Hisoka's reactions to Gon never fail to crack me up.
I started to get the itch for more so now I'm reading the mangaWould advise you don't. The manga ends not long after the chimera ant arc which is currently happening in the anime, you're going to ruin a bunch of cool shit for yourself.
Greed Island 2011 is over pretty fast thank goodness.
Hisoka is the GOAT :bow

eh, they did a Gunpla animu in the past so this is just a sequel of sorts.
It helps that Sailor Moon was directed by Junichi Satou, the master of shoujo anime.
Anybody here have an account on MAL (http://myanimelist.net/panel.php) or Hummingbird (http://hummingbird.me/)? Add me as a friend so I can mock your paltry watched lists.I havent updated mine in 5 years. And even back then I hardly ever kept it updated.
I'm watching Golion on Crunchyroll.
It's not repetitive at all. :lol
But it is okay, and I remember all those Voltron toys when I was a kid but they never actually showed the show in my area, same thing as Macross / Robotech.
Macross is on Hulu and I think it held up pretty well and was a pretty damn good show. Golion might get good, I dunno, but I'm pretty bored with it so far. Seemed interesting to watch it unedited, watch some bystander extra characters get maimed horribly or something, I dunno... but yeah, it's enlarge beastman of the day, make robot, use sword, repeat. Waste as much runtime as possible with the same sequences of boarding the lions and performing the combination... although this actually makes viewing it faster, I can just skip any of this junk I've already seen 10 times.
The character interaction is good as I remember and the story lines are :heartbeat I like some of the characterization more in the manga, though. Like Rei in the manga is all I DON'T NEED BOYS but in the anime she's just as dick starved as Usagi. But it's a quibble.
I also like that they're being all humble and only asking for 150k which is like nothing even for slave wage Japanese animator budgets. Pretty sure something like the first 24 min ep costs around a few million.
Been marathoning Sailor Moon in Japanese.
I love it.
Unlike DBZ, I think SM has aged wonderfully. The first 8 episodes are slow, but after that it's great.

It was OK. Charming little OVA that I had absolutely zero desire to want to watch more than once. I didn't see the big deal myself.
Free! is yaoi as fuck. This is so gay. I'd say give the first ep a shot if you like sports anime, but if yaoi is an obstacle, avoid.
Fate Zero was pretty good. Maybe they can do a Fate Stay Night thats actually good too.
Hey Himu,

I've been using it for about a year now. Great live HD feeds and lots of channels to choose from. They used to have Animax, so it might come back in the future.
Also, be warned that 95% of Japanese TV is terrible.
SILVER SPOON IS AWESOME
it's all "fish out of water" stuff, but it's well done. good characters, good situation, good pacing.
Sounds kind of amazing, to be honest.

You said you wanted a show where no one is safe and political intrigue. We suggested Berserk.
Also, Death Proof :lol
Deathnote is not even in the same league as Berserk.
Dr. Kenzo Tenma is a renowned young brain surgeon of Japanese descent working in Europe. Highly lauded by his peers as one of the great young minds that will revolutionize the field, he is blessed with a beautiful fiancé and is on the cusp of a high promotion in the hospital he works at. However, all of that is about to change with one critical decision that Dr. Tenma faces one night—whether to save the life of a young child or that of the town's mayor. Despite being pressured by his superiors to perform surgery on the mayor, his morals force him to perform the surgery on the young child, saving his life and forfeiting the mayor's. All of a sudden, Dr. Tenma's world is turned upside down by his decision leading to the loss of everything he previously had. A doctor is taught to believe that all life is equal; however, when a series of murders occur in the vicinity of Dr. Tenma, all of the evidence pointing to the young child who he saved, Tenma's beliefs are shaken.
Naoki Urasawa's Monster is a tale full of mystery, suspense and intrigue as Dr. Tenma journeys to find out the true identity of the young child. In turn, the fate of the world may depend on it.

David Production needs your help to fund a second season, make sure to watch/buy their new show this season to help them them make money!spoiler (click to show/hide)It's Hyperdimension Neptunia. :patel :uguu[close]
I was on vacation!Haha, thanks.
I haven't watched much anime in the past, well, few years probably but I've been trying to slowly work my way back in (watched Attack on Titan because I heard lots of good things, thoroughly enjoyed myself). New Genshiken though?! I loved the original show, definitely need to give that a look.Me too. I'll wait a bit first though. Catching up wit Attack on Titan and Hunter X Hunter has reminded me how much I hate waiting for new episodes weekly. I'm back to watching completed shows. Currently up to episode 6 of Xamd.

Watch Space Brothers. It's a legitimately good series, and it's currently up to episode 66, so it'll keep you busy for a while.
Ippo vs Monkeyman gonna take the whole season hahaha.FUCK MOWGLI
Before going any further, let’s see what mental images a synopsis like this conjures: “Takao Kasuga is a shy, book-loving high school student who’s had a crush on classmate Saeki Nanako for as long as he can remember. One day, in a moment of lust and foolishness, he steals her gym uniform from class, only to be caught in the act by the quiet and lonely Sawa Nakamura. Knowing she has sway over him, Nakamura forces Kasuga to make a contract with her, or else risk having his secret revealed to the entire class!”
What you might expect from such a synopsis is a harem anime where a bemused, stand-in protagonist finds himself pulled into wacky situations by a cast of cute and quirky moe girls. What you get is one of the most genuinely disturbing and hard to watch anime series of the past 5 years.
I'm amused that w/5 people that Attack on Titan made both Best and Worst lists.
Yeaaaaaah... I'm not waiting that long.New GitS isn't being streamed anywhere, right?
No, but Funimation is releasing it on Bluray.

Guts will probably get that magical whatever that makes him really powerful and he'll something-something and Griffith will be defeated.Yeah, the armour consumes him or something and him and Skully tag team Griffse and the rest of the God Hand.
Or, more likely, the manga will cease when Miura is too old and senile to write/draw it anymore.

Children of the Sea is probably one of the most beautiful manga I have ever read.
http://mangawall.com/manga/children-of-the-sea
My Library has all 5 volumes so I've recently started to read it. It's just so pretty to look at.
[/size][/size][size=78%]It’s fairly obvious to Terui Chiaki that her classmate Ajikawa Yoshio has a crush on her. He is completely not boyfriend material in her eyes and, even if he was, Chiaki already has a boyfriend. Their mysterious teacher Mr. Yamada sees this relationship between the two students and offers an experiment. He is able to make copies of people and objects and does so with Chiaki, creating a copy of her, except the copy has no knowledge of her boyfriend. Yoshio will hit on the Chiaki copy, who is named Koaki, and he'll try to make her fall in love with him. After a specified amount of time, the copy and original will be combined back together and which ever love is stronger between the current boyfriend and Yoshio will overwrite all other emotions. So this love experiment begins and both Chiaki and Koaki, being the same person, thinks Yoshio has no chance in hell but with each passing day, some feelings begin to bubble. [/size]:what
Hell I would love dark age movies but it seems unlikely while the manga is where it is.
why in the hell did no one tell me about gdgd faries?
it's a short anime which is conversational. it's 3 fairies who have conversations that start off quite normal and thanks to the personalities of the characters get weirder and weirder as they go.
it's on crunchyroll and it's not for everyone but good lord it's amazing
Space Dandy isn’t serious at all and will be very comedic. “Like Mushroom Samba every week.”
They want Space Dandy to feel like old-school sci-fi but modern and new at the same time.
They’re trying to make Space Dandy as epic as possible that it surprises everyone watching it.
The characters ride their spaceship Aloha Oe every week to a new planet. A different planet every week. This means there will be brand new aliens every week.
Bebop was 80% serious, 20% comedy. Space Dandy is the opposite.
In the world of Space Dandy, they listen to all their music on cassette tapes. The latest audio technology is cassettes. MP3s and CDs do not exist.
Watanabe was worried about the different aliens all looking too similar, so every planet’s aliens have a different designer. The alien designers are all secrets and they will be announced episode by episode. There are some very famous ones. He told every designer to think of the aliens of their wildest dreams. They have over 100 aliens.
Space Dandy will have 20 artists working on the music. 3-4 songs per artist. No instruments invented after 1984 for musicians.
“Anything is fine as long as there’s spaceships.”
Sentai and Funimation come through and license a shit ton of Bandai's old non-Gundam catalog.So I get to buy Bebop and Escaflowne again sometime maybe? Yay I guess.
Cowboy Bebop in Blu-ray. Vision of Escaflowne in Blu-ray. Crest/Banner of the Stars, Code Geass TV and Akito the Exiled. Fuck yeah.
I meant I'll be set on good anime. :rejoice
"No instruments invented after 1984 for musicians."
Oh my fuck.
Best anime ever
"In the world of Space Dandy, they listen to all their music on cassette tapes. The latest audio technology is cassettes. MP3s and CDs do not exist."

Berserk is good but kind of repetitive. Each episode seems to feature the sellsword company easily defeating an enemy; except for that ep where they fight the demon, they've steam rolled everything. Just saw ep9 where the king's brother tries to have Griffith killed.Berserk is older than a song of ice and fire.
Griffith gives me Rhaegar Targaryen vibes. Valiant, brilliant, beautiful, soft spoken, perfect warrior, etc. Even looks like him.

That's a pretty incorrect assessment. His relationship with Gatts andIt's not incorrect, just incomplete. He also has abandonment issues and is extremely vindictive. Postspoiler (click to show/hide)his insistence of fucking him over supremely should tell you he is more than his ambition.[close]
spoilering for PD, sorry :maf
What set him offNahspoiler (click to show/hide)is Guts surpassing him and leaving. He was the closest thing to an equal, maybe even friend.[close]
episode 12
Griffith banging dudes for gold :holeup
I think we can all agree that Griffith just doesn't like anything taken from him, whatever it is and whichever way.
Wow PD is actually reaching the part where the world of Berserk unfolds to contain more than demons and dudes with swords. Excite. This is the part where the story feels real and medieval and not so much fantasy, very ASIOAFish. Can't wait to see his thoughts.
I guess it's a weakness of the medium, much like comics.yep
I'm almost done with the show and just heard the manga is still being written.
By the way, here's where Berserk's meta-plot falls apart due to Fridge Logic.spoiler (click to show/hide)Guts struggles against and breaks fate.
Griffith is guided by fate as, more or less, the messiah of the Idea of Evil, aka "God."
Guts fucks up Griffith's destiny to become king by leaving the Band, resulting in Griffith going mad.
Griffith ultimately uses the behelit to become the head of the Godhand at the cost of all of the lives of his loyal soldiers; Griffith does this because his body is ruined and he wanted to kill himself rather than live a life unfilled, never reaching his dream of becoming the king, and ultimately decides the lives of all of his compatriots are just a few more bodies on the pile, totally worth it to reach that castle in his dream.
"God" wants Griffith to become part of his Godhand.
If Guts didn't struggle against fate and resist Griffith's pull, Griffith wouldn't have gone off the deep end and fucked Charlotte, leading to his arrest and subsequent quadraplegic maiming, glossectomy, castration, etc. If he wasn't in this desperate state, the Behelit / Godhand scenario might not have been seductive enough to convince Griffith to sign up to become Femto. So does "God" want Griffith to fail and be maimed so he takes the deal? And if so, then Guts leaving was fate and all part of the plan? So is Guts really breaking fate, or not?
The only solution I can think of is that Griffith is ultimately an extremely evil Machiavellian asshole who would have sold out his friends anyway. In which case, Guts may have altered the specifics of the scenario but it was going to happen with or without him.[close]
Schierke and Serpico are great. The other two, not so much.
There's a lot of great stuff happening after they're introduced. The manga didn't start to get dull until the last year or two whenspoiler (click to show/hide)they got on that ship. The stories about the berserker armor and Griffith's new band of the hawk are great.[close]
What happened to Rickett? :'(
Odd one out is Ippo. That comes out on a regular basis but it's soooo slow and the author won't advance the story and finds contrived stupid reasons to delay the inevitable. I gave up on that one.Eh, nah. Where HxH ended they set it up for a big adventure arc. Also I really hate how
The last HxH hiatus left off at a point where a few more chapters could wrap up the series in my eyes. The difference with HxH is thatI'm confident that it will end.spoiler (click to show/hide)it reached its goal, and it's all open ended from here on out.[close]
Berserk? no chance
wtf is this shit
(http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/frustrated.gif)
:stahp
So the author of Berserk takes his time, Martin style, or is he just not working on it?
Oh geez. Does he still live like a vampire? I can imagine it would be hard to find assistants with a nightowl schedule. This is where you tell me that he doesn't have any and I despair.So the author of Berserk takes his time, Martin style, or is he just not working on it?
At one point, he got obsessed with moe animu games and his output dropped for a while. :lol
Yeah, that demon. Sorry, my mistake.I remember a Goat demon fucking bitches right before the Eclipse.
Right before the Eclipse?
You may be thinking of Wyald. He wasn't a goat, but he was pretty savage looking even before he showed his true Apostle form. I checked the wiki and it appears that the new trilogy of films also cuts out Wyald.
It was kind of cool to see the Band of the Hawk take down a demon Apostle before the Eclipse. That storyline was also extremely grimdark and had a bit of the ultraviolence. As I recall he raped a village girl then severed her torso off and mounted it on his lance.
The whole story was gratuitous in every way. It wasn't completely pointless, and it wasn't boring.
Kinmoza is the moe-est show of the season, you should watch that.
AWWWW YEAH THIS LOOKS AWESOME.
I just randomly thought of Eva 2.22 and 3.0 and I've been wondering, wtf are they doing to Evangelion :'(

This past week, I told you about the five anime you should be watching this summer. To prepare, I asked Kotaku readers to vote on their picks. The winner by a landslide was Watamote. I am dumbfounded by this. Watamote is, quite simply, the most mean-spirited anime I have ever watched.
Watamote – No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular is ostensibly a comedy about Tomoko, a young high school freshman who, as a master of dating sims, is unable to comprehend why she isn't popular and is unsure how to change and become so.
The problem is, this show isn't a really a comedy. It's a tragedy. Any laughs you get are due to her emotional pain and suffering. And while this is fine if the character is evil and thus getting some kind of karmic comeuppance, Tomoko, as a character, has done nothing worthy of being saddled with the hell that is her life.
Let's be clear here. Tomoko is not simply a nerdy girl who is a little socially awkward. Given the state of her socialization skills, it seems safe to assume she is a girl with a severe social anxiety disorder. And as all the jokes in the series are at her expense, the show really comes off as “let's make fun of the girl with a crippling psychological disorder.”
Which, given the popularity of Watamote, is, apparently, the height of humor.
But you don't have to take my word for it. Let's take a closer look at some of the “comedic” situations in Tomoko's life.
When her homeroom teacher says goodbye to her as she leaves school, she realizes that is the first time she's had any verbal interaction with anyone outside her family in two months. She is so startled she runs away in fear (and joy).
Because crippling social anxiety is “funny.”
Once, she forgets her textbook and is too afraid to borrow one from another student (as she has literally no friends or acquaintances in school) and is then bitched out by the teacher until she cries.
Because emotional abuse by a teacher is “funny.”
She is so socially awkward that the most major social accomplishment to date is ordering at a McDonalds.
Because being barely able to put three words together and thus generally unable to do things we all find so easy to do is “funny.”
At one point, after deciding to improve her social skills, she goes to her brother—one of the few people she can talk to without being overwhelmed by anxiety—to ask him to talk with her for an hour a day. She has to threaten to kill herself to get him to listen to her before she can even ask the favor.
Because having to threaten to kill yourself to get the bare minimum of social interaction from a family member is “funny.”
Another time, she starts wishing to be molested on a train because that at least would mean she's attractive. And then when she actually thinks she is being molested (as something hard is rubbing between her legs), she screams for help in terror—realizing that being molested is not a good thing like she had hoped. It turns out to be a naginata, however, and not a molester.
Because experiencing the feelings of shame, terror, and helplessness one feels when being molested is “funny.”
There has been, to be fair, one laugh-worthy part in the show to date. Feeling depressed, she buys a boys love game and by chance wins third prize in a raffle: a back massager. Thus she finds herself walking down the street with an erotic game in one hand and what looks like a vibrator in the other. This (unlike all the previous examples) is funny. It is a sight gag based on bad luck, nothing more. Her social anxiety has nothing to do with this situation. She is not the butt of the joke.
I hear people like this show because they identify with Tomoko—that they had similar experiences in school and now look back on those experiences with nostalgic humor. But for me, despite being more than a little bit of a social outcast in high school myself, none of this is funny. It's just reveling in the pain of a mentally ill person—laughing at a girl who is even more awkward than they were in order to feel better about their own lives.
And that is just plain fucked up.

We're hard at work developing The Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths on the Wii U, 3DS, iPad and iPhone, and it's on track for a release this fall (fingers crossed!).
Unfortunately, and to be completely and candidly honest, our initial plans were to release the game in French only; the new season is directed in France, and airing only in French-speaking territories, where it's the most popular.
But since we announced the game, we've been swamped with emails, and messages on various social networks, asking us to consider both an international release, and a PC version.
Those requests came from all over the world: UK, US, Germany, Latin America, Lebanon – we simply didn't anticipate it would raise such a global interest, and already had focused our development budget on the game itself.
That's where you come in.
Uchouten Kazoku is just blowing anything that isnt named monogatari out the water this season. It's so incredible :bow

-Bills bitch slaps Bulma and it makes Vegeta so pissed he surpasses Goku in power.
-Gohan gets drunk, deflects a bullet into his pregnant wife's leg.

-There's now a fourth or fifth level of super god who's a furless cat of death or something named Bills, and there's multiverse with 12 'worlds' and 7 other super duper gods.
-Goku turns into Super Saiyan God by combining the saiyan powers of Vegeta, Gohan, Goten, Trunks, and Videl (via Pan's fetus). Still loses at the end.
-Bills bitch slaps Bulma and it makes Vegeta so pissed he surpasses Goku in power.
-Gohan gets drunk, deflects a bullet into his pregnant wife's leg.
-A 41 woman gets turned in a child and Trunks has a crush on her (and she's into it).[close]

SHE ASKED ABOUT OREIMO! I told her I wasn't familiar but it probably isn't good.
Edit: Oh, if she likes fujoshi-bait like Free, then she'll probably love Kuroko's Basketball. That's supposed to be the shiznit when it comes to dudes kicking it with dudes.
That gay swimming anime got my sister into watching anime. She's got a crunchyroll account and keeps hitting me up for shit to watch. We've almost finished Attack on Titan. I stopped watching because I was ahead with the manga, so it's good to have an excuse to catch up.
I think Ouran High School Host Club is next for her and she seems interested in Sword Art Online. Trying to get her to watch Bleach but she didn't think it sounded cool. She's wrong, obviously.
Is it really, Andy?
Also Bleach rulez. Suck my getsuga tensho, fuckboy.
Ouran Host Club is a legit good show. #somehomo

You haven't been reading the manga, correct?
demi watches Titan? That's cool.
I'm impatient. Gonna start the Titan manga now that the first season of the show is done.
"The first episode of Kill la Kill was incredibly good! My expectations were shattered, it was filled with overwhelming speed and energy. I believe that a great future awaits for this work." (Hisashi from Glay)
"My soul and body trembled; this is going to become a legendary anime." (Seikaisha Imai, editor for Star Seas Company)
"It was like getting your body and whole body shaken repeatedly; super exciting! I can't wait to watch it again." (Mari Shimazaki, character designer for Bayonetta)
"It's old-school but at the same time refreshing; non-stop sexy violence from beginning to end. This show will raise the far for intensity in anime." (Redjuice, artist)
"It was just 24 minutes long, but I was completely overwhelmed. I don't have one single complaint! Oh, and Ryuuko was much cuter than I expected."
"Nothing about it was half-assed; animation and heat were full-force from beginning to end. Everything was super cool."
"Everyone NEEDS to watch this when it comes out in TV next week."
"I'm glad it was 2D, if it had been 3D I would have died from excitement."
"It was like a non-stop rollercoaster; an incredible amount of content for one episode. Extremely interesting."
Doesn't really answer anything either... lol.Why am I not surprised...
Since Titan is over and Hunter is being moved to late night Tuesdays, I won't have any Sunday morning shows to watch soon(Aside from CBS Sunday Morning but that's live action). :'(Goddammit :(

Heard about Hunter moving to another night. As long as it doesn't get abruptly canceled I don't mind. Seeing the chimera arc animated is amazing. Something like ten years of waiting.
and Genshiken anime ended for good this time. Can't see another series happening with its original final episode.

also learned from the gaf thread that there's a Gundam remake-of-sorts coming next year. Gundam The Origin is a manga adaptation of the anime, and this will be an anime adaptation of the manga.

Kill La Kill, the newest anime by the creative minds behind over the top mecha hit Gurren Lagann, is all about a girl searching for the person who killed her father. To do this she has a giant scissor-blade and a transforming school uniform. That's where things get troubling.
In the series' lore, she slits her wrist to transform because the living uniform feeds on her blood. Thus the time limit for her transformation is until she passes out due to blood loss.
That explanation, however, doesn't change the fact that slitting one's wrists is one of the most common ways to attempt suicide (or at the very least self-mutilation) and the anime purposely evokes that image. This is all the more shocking considering that, according to the latest reported figures, Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world—21.7 suicides per 100,000 people. (For comparison, the last measured US suicide rate is only 12 suicides per 100,000 people.)
Yes, Kill la Kill is an action-comedy and of course, it is far from the only popular Japanese property to use suicidal images for shock value—Persona 3 and it's pistol-like evokers comes to mind, for example. But just because it's been done before doesn't make it any less disturbing when you remember that, by associating the images with awesome, action packed fights, Kill la Kill is basically making slitting your wrist seem like a “cool” thing to do. And I admit, that worries me a bit.

Attack on Titan kinda got on my nerve when it went mainstream but I admit, the anime adaptation is superb. Episode 5 in particular made me legit believe in it again.
However, the terrible art in the Manga made some of the plot twists hidden better. Here, it's straight up your face.

Gigantomakhia is Kentarou Miura's new 6-part miniseries, set in a world 100 million years in the future.
The title is a Greek phrase meaning Battle of Giants. It refers to the mythical war between the gods of Olympus and rebelling giants. For a much more rich exploration of Gigantomachia across the ages, check here.
According to an ad in the Nov. 8 issue of Young Animal, Gigantomakhia will run for 6 issues, likely ending in February 2014, with Berserk set to resume afterward.
The first episode will be 44 pages, with one color page.
We'll know a lot more about the series once we get closer to its release, so stay tuned here!

Spot on. The Rings Tournament arc was great. Personally, I really enjoyed Hitman's progression from a comedy into an action series. Just as I was getting bored of the school yard stuff they changed it up and the manga got better. Everything up to the end of the Rings Tournament is great. I could never finish the future arc though. Its amazing how quickly it went to shit after the Xanxus fight. They even introduced animal companions :yuckThe less you read of the future arc the better off your soul will be.

Only on Netflix: “Knights of Sidonia,” Based on the Popular Manga Series
Hotly-anticipated Mecha Sci-fi Series to be Available to Watch Instantly in All Netflix Territories Immediately Following the Japanese TV Release
Dec 12, 2013
Beverly Hills, Calif., December 12, 2013—Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) announced today it will make available the complete first 12 episode season of Polygon Pictures’ hotly anticipated anime series “Knights of Sidonia” in all Netflix territories in Summer of 2014.
Based on the best-selling manga series by Tsutomu Nihei, published in Japan by Kodansha and in English by Vertical, “Knights of Sidonia” follows the struggle of humans to survive against the monstrous alien “Gauna” using mecha weapons called ”Garde” (Guardian Robots).
The story focuses on the ship Sidonia and young Garde pilot Nagate Tanikaze as he uses his amazing combat skills to protect what remains of human civilization.
“Netflix has a huge base of anime fans and we are thrilled to be bringing exclusively for the first time them a first-run anime series, especially one as well-plotted, humorous and beautifully animated as Knights of Sidonia,” said Erik Barmack, VP, Independent Content at Netflix.
“We are ecstatic at the opportunity to run 'Knights of Sidonia' firstly and exclusively on Netflix. This is an epochal deal, as we are able to deliver our beloved anime property to a wider audience in direct and timely fashion, than ever before,” said Shuzo John Shiota, CEO of Polygon.
“Knights of Sidonia” is produced by Tokyo-based Polygon Pictures, winner of multiple Daytime Emmy Awards for Hasbro’s television series “Transformers Prime” and the animators behind “Tron: Uprising” and several episodes of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” The series is directed by Kobun Shizuno, who worked on “GI Joe,” the animated series and co-directed by Hiroyuki Seshita, a veteran of the “Final Fantasy” video game series.
“Knights of Sidonia” will be available on Netflix in Japanese with the choice of subtitles or dubbed local language dialogue.

one particular mention goes to "coward banchou" which the scanlator nicknamed as gay batman,gay batman seems like a pretty good fit because not only his mask really looks like the batman mask but everything always seems to go his way even when it sounds incredibly stupid a-la shark spray,like maybe "deus ex machina banchou" would have been a good fit too... in fact everytime a character is killed off screen 5 page later, it always turns out it was actualy saved by gay batman at the last minute
I'm not seeing "Gay Batman." More like "Gay Kato." That's some awful localization.

Aliens A then see that Aliens B are set to try the same thing on earth and for no real reason at all other than because they probably don't like Aliens B and want to fuck them over, Aliens A sends advance sci-fi tech (Gantz) through signals from space which is picked up by German rich person who makes the balls and sells them to the world governments and gets rich and the governments add the scoring system and all the game-like systems in and start using it to take out other aliens from all around the universe that had been migrating to earth over the past 30 years as practice to build up experience to then take on Aliens B when they invade the earth in the final arc. In the end after Aliens B murder like half the planet, Gantz heroes blow up their army on Alien B's migratory planet ship, Aliens B try to self-destruct and suicide take out earth but they fuck up and just blow themselves up while Gantz heroes fall down to earth in their space bikes and land in the ocean and then run out to meet their ladies who've been wearing no pants for 3 days.
Oh and they meet Alien A in a white room and he answers questions and tells them there is no god and people cry and then tells people they are like ants, just objects and the soul is data and tries to show it by reviving all the dead people from the series who are important and then blows them all up.

decided to watch akira since it's a pretty famous anime... it was okay,the animation was awesome and the cyberpunk setting pretty cool but the plot was sort of stupid and lacked any sort of direction,the things ends and there isn't even like an actual reason for how it ends,not even the usual bullshit about the power of friendship and the like,it just ends
think i'm going to watch kill la kill next,i loved gurren lagan back in the days and the only reason i haven't bothered with it is because i hate watching series that are still running but now it's over so....

what's my best option to see anime on my android cellphone? chrome doesn't support flash so i can only use a few video streaming sites here and there... there is a crunchyroll app but of course that means being limited to what is on crunchyroll,like i've finaly decided to watch seikotai yakuindomo since they announced a season 2 and of course can't do that through crunchyroll...

Plex, bro. Download your animes to a PC, stream them to your phone.
But...uhh...I'm pretty sure Chrome does support Flash?
Android used to be the land of the free allowing all sorts of liberties including support for Adobe Flash, but since Android 4.1 Jelly Bean launched in June 2012, Adobe itself stopped developing Flash for mobile and the out-of-the-box support for the technology disappeared. The door for Flash remained opened until 4.3, though, as the AOSP Android browser shipping on every smartphone still supported Flash. Mobile Chrome did not play nice with it, but browsers such as Dolphin and Puffin (but really many others as well) filled in the gap and playing back Flash remained something that one could enable relatively easily.
With Android 4.4 KitKat (and all future versions for that matter), Google moves to Chromium for its WebView and this means Android now no longer supports Flash at all.

You should watch Samurai Flamenco nextDidn't realize this was on crunchyroll. *adds to snow day activities*
I think I attempted to count the panty shots in Aika, becuase it was just ridiculous to me even then.
One of those shows, either AIka or Najica (which are basically the same thing from the same pervy director), actually had a panty counter on its DVD release. :lol Never got what the deal with that director was and white PANTSU~. Every show had the same boring underwear on everyone. At least have some variety!:dead
Funimation might put it up on iTunes or similar outlets
Attack on Titan seems right up my alley, and it has really good user ratings. Will see how this goes.
Lol @ Samurai Flamenco so far. I'm 4 episodes in.

Man, I finished Slayers Try and it was so disappointing after Slayers Next. No character development at all. It was still decent but disappointing.Next is by far the best of the original three Slayers seasons. S1 did the same plot twice basically and after all the goings on of next you know Lina is op as fuck so there's not much of a sense of danger in Try. They're still all great though. CB Vs. FLCL isn't really a fair battle since FLCL is Gainax 100% unhinged and doing whatever the fuck they felt like basically (I have the versions of the DVDs that came with fat interview booklets and the staff involved noted that there's a robot in the show cause they felt like it, Haruko is playing the bass she's playing cause it's a rare one they think is fucking cool looking, etc) and Bebop is a really well done full length series. Most 26 ep sets have some blatant shitty filler but none of CB feels like a waste of time to me.
I'm rewatching Cowboy Bebop to see if I think it's a better anime than FLCL aka BEST ANIMU EVER. The art is pretty ridiculous though. Amazing style, amazing contrast. It's not really a fair comparison with FLCL though cuz FLCL has a very easy going style.
Does Space Dandy have Mikasa in it? no? Fuck it then.*googles*
Mikasa Ackerman :heartbeat
Space Dandy sucked. It is a gallery show of the worst elements of modern anime: terrible writing, shoe horning in sexual elements, misogyny, style over substance, great visuals and crap everything else, not a hint of character or charm. I was thoroughly bored the entire 30 minutes. That was dog shit. I'll give it 4 more episodes and if it doesn't impress until then I'm dropping it.
Holy fucking shit, Samurai Flamenco just became a completely different show!

Yes, the titular imouto of the series gets raped by a (female) ghost. For important plot reasons, totally.
lol japan:
And in case you're wondering, the show is not only exactly the kind of trash you'd expect from a show with the word "sister" in the title, but in fact it's even worse because of the inclusion of ghost rape.

Incest, of course.
The new Mushishi OVA special episode is really good, and it kicks off a revival of the series that continues in April with a brand new season. Anyone looking for something good to watch should check this show out, and make sure to watch the 26-episode first season from back in 2005-2006.:aah

I think there's enough manga content for about 7-8 episode right now.
Thanks dude!

I think it's safe to say that Hunter X Hunter is the best shounen anime airing right now. This Chimera Ant arc is so good. Luckily for me the manga is ugly as fuck, so I'll never feel like jumping ahead and reading that instead.

Your problem is that you watch too much anime and not too much quality anime.
Fujiko Mine was great, absolutely, but it didn't start any new trends or end any bad trends. On the other hand, there's, like, four incest shows this season.
I doubt any of you faggyrts haven't even seen Space Battleship Yamato 2199 yet, so I don't know why you're even trying to talk about anime. Fawning over Fujiko Mine and Attack on Titan in here, you're embarrassing yourselves.

read all of dragon half, it's about this half-dragon/half-human/half-naked chick called mink who goes on a quest to get this potion that will turn her into a whole human so that she can marry this dragon hating guy who's also a popstar... it's really reminiscent of slayers in that it present itself as a sword & sorcery manga, but everyone act so goofy and dumb (particular mention goes to this minor villain who gets beated up so many times he ends up being reduced to just his head, and he STILL ends up attacking the heroes over and over) that it's more of a comedy manga
I don't know ppl keep bringing up the price of anime BDs/dvds. As if the prices are some recent phenomenon, prices(and correct me if I'm wrong) were always high for anime. Shit everything is expensive in Japan. And it not like it effects any of us.

Watching Cowboy Bebop and only slightly enjoying it made me realize I don't actually like anime. I like cartoons. Anime are a certain type of cartoons I don't really enjoy, basically. Like Cowboy Bebop. It's pretty much like a real show, but drawn instead of having real actors. I never really enjoyed it. :yeshrug It's the reason why I haven't seen Monster despite hearing good things. Realistic anime shows bore me, unless there's a lot of comedy.
I plan on buying a couple Blu-rays in Japan in April, but the prices are so insane that it will just be a one or two (Macross Plus, final volume of Gundam AGE shut up, Gunpla Builders Beginning G) and then I'll blow the rest on games. The Macross F movies are tempting with English subtitles, but not $300 tempting.

There was a write-up on ANN about this not too long ago, and I think it was basically that in the early days of home video and Laserdisk, prices were really high because they were mainly meant for rental places to buy. But they found that hardcore otaku were willing to pay those high prices anyway. Long story short, they never did come down on the prices the way the US did in order to gain mass-market appeal.This just made me realize that the never-dropping price of Studio Ghibli anime at ¥4500 is actually meant to be an accessible price point for Japanese consumers. :japancry

Huh. So that's just Japan being Japan? I always figured it was to keep the re-sale value high. Cool.
What about game rental though? The Retronauts podcast taught me that's illegal there, unless I'm completely mis-remembering that.
Love the tape thing. I haven't been to a public library in a long time but I believe they have CDs here as well. Movies for sure. I imagine those are being ripped all the time as well.

I've tried reading this but only got a couple of chapters in. After Monster, 20th Century Boy and Pluto I'm kind of done with Urasawa. Not that his stuff is bad, but his brand of drama got annoying with the frequent tear jerkers. For a while, Pluto felt like every chapter had some emotional scene where someone was moved to tears.
Oh chrono, this isn't anime/manga related but since you mention audible and you like comics, I totally recommend Marvel Comics: The Untold Story. I listened to it a month or so ago and it was fantastic.

Finally got around to finishing the last two Hellsing OAV eps.
Eh, was alright. It's competent and entertaining, but the fights were really stupid and not that satisfying. The bad guys had the annoying trope of "everything according to our plans!" and even when the protags win it seems like the bad guys let them which isn't particularly satisfying. Best part was still that 4th(?) ep on the Naval boat where Alucard flies a plane into the deck and then fucks shit up. See, Alucard is a great character, it's just that the manga/tv show/OAV didn't seem to know what to do with him past a certain point because he was too badass and ultimate powered. The explanation for:spoiler (click to show/hide)how to "beat" him was total bs not even psuedo-science crap, which was lame[close]
Basically, the usual Japanese thing where there's a good story but it falls apart in the end because they don't know what to do with it.

The show is pretty bad, but jesus does it look fantastic. The animation and the visual design in 0083 is ace. The mechs all look great in the show and thier actual designs look really cutting edge.

I kind of want to but since everyone in the Gundam fanbase hated AGE which I loved, watching a new series that everyone else loves I feel I might be disappointed somehow.
Gundam is all about mech design and cool fights for me. Everything else is extra.

In other news, I finally saw Summer Wars tonight, 5 years after its release. That was some seriously good stuff. I really dug the different animation styles between the cyber world and real world, and the various characters were very well-realized. Fan-service was also largely limited, which I appreciated as a dad since the heroine is a high school student. Also enjoyed the bilingual pun of the AI's name, "Love Machine."

In other news, I finally saw Summer Wars tonight, 5 years after its release. That was some seriously good stuff. I really dug the different animation styles between the cyber world and real world, and the various characters were very well-realized. Fan-service was also largely limited, which I appreciated as a dad since the heroine is a high school student. Also enjoyed the bilingual pun of the AI's name, "Love Machine."
Likely a better movie than Transcendence will be.
I was hoping the Japanese copy would at least have English subtitles; a few of them do, surprisingly; but it was Japanese audio and Japanese subtitles, so I tried to keep up with the language, and mostly vigorously read the subtitles through the whole thing. Probably watch it again with them off, now that I understand what's going on.In other news, I finally saw Summer Wars tonight, 5 years after its release. That was some seriously good stuff.

I liked the movie, too. I should probably watch it again, though hearing Dean Venture's voice makes me think that it's all some weird experiment his dad came up with.
Watched Totoro with my daughter today. I got emotional a few times while she hugged me, laughed, roared and smiled.Yeah, my whole family watched Wolf Children a couple weeks ago; it was really impressive, and we were torn up by it. It was fascinating to watch the children grow and change.The BGC hard suits were pretty awesome, and the world was visually aping Blade Runner pretty well, but I can't recall a damned thing about the story.

The season finale of Space Dandy was terrific
Yeah, definitely one of the best. Great story, even greater animation. Hard to believe that we're due for 13 more episodes of this starting in July.
I thought it was kind of boring and mostly cliche. QT is awesome though.

I've queued up the latter for later viewing; is it safe-for-kids? It looks cute, but with Japan, you never know when panty shots or creepy uncles or whatever are going to appear.
Unless the former is actually Japanese, or has had a broad release in Japan, it's unlikely I'll be able to find it.
Stop stepping on my turf, Momo!I've been doing this since I got here lol
i've actualy read that mangaka + assistant manga, it starts funny with jokes about how absurd how the series the mangaka is writing (which is never shown but the mangaka describes just as "panties everywhere") is actualy popular and the like but as it progress more and more, more character get introduced and all of them are anime loli or are there to molest the anime loli which turns the parody into the thing it's supposed to parody itselfIt WAS in my to watch list, (it's in the image) not anymore!

i watched the first 8 episode of space dandy and it's the most amazing anime i've seen in a while,it's like if cowboy bebop had kitten with a looney tunes cartoon and the result was an anime that's colorfull,creative, has a serious art style and yet is completly idiotic and enjoyable... just let me put it this way
and I have a whole bunch of Space Dandy to watch now that it's finished airing

Most of Aniplex's shows get put on Crunchyroll.Yeah I'm aware. I don't have a Crunchyroll sub though. I did use a free one to watch most of Fate Zero and then torrented the rest. Same with Kill la Kill basically. I wouldn't mind watching Fate Zero in English though, though I guess thats now on Hulu.

It's just easier for me if things are on Netflix because then it's in HD and with no commercials. I wish they would step up with the anime.
Netflix appears interested, seeing how they have the rights to Knights of Sidonia.

that's so weird. A large part of why Sailor Moon was popular is because it appealed to both boys and girls. Making the event girls only is odd.

So I've pretty much bailed on anime these past few years and I realized that I'd watch a hell of a lot more anime series if I could watch them on a tablet in bed. But for playing most fansubs streamed from my desktop in the latest 10-bit h264 mkv format in 1080p...it seems like tablets have serious problems with this. I know my ipad2 is too weak to do it as I tried the couple of apps and it was just too choppy.
Is anyone doing this and can recommend a modern tablet I can buy that will let me stream my anime folder from my desktop and watch smoothly in my bed at night? I'm down to pay good money for a tablet that would let me do that. All I end up doing is web browsing at light night because I'm too tired to get out of bed. Would be nice to blow through some good anime shows.

I also have a Win 8.1 tablet (ASUS T100). This thing is powerful enough to stream everything at 1080P. Ditto for local video playback. It's only around $400 and works great. Eel has one too. New models even come with a 500 GB HDD in the keyboard dock. Detached from the keyboard, the tablet is light enough to use in bed for streaming.

I saw some stuff saying the T100 can't natively play MKVs and stuff.
If you want to play locally, do you just use MPC or VLC or something?
Can you use an X360 controller for gaming on it?
Also, how does the display compare to other screens? I saw some reviews that said it wasn't as bright or colorful.

I dunno; there's not much inspired in the Gundam designs. I know they can only push so far before people get weird about it, but I like to see some more variation. I even liked Syd Mead's Turn A stuff. This time, I like the humans and the Montero, but the actual Gundam stuff... Hm.

Next week is the last episode of Yowamushi Pedal. Its only the end of day two in the three day interhigh and the manga isn't translated. What am I going to do brehs :stahpI thought I'd give Great Rumbler a chance this time (and yes there is some good stuff coming) (Tokyo Ghouls should be good)
Also, shouldn't Momo have his seasonal preview thread up? Is anything coming that can fill the hole left in my heart ???
I disagree
Can you use an X360 controller for gaming on it?
Of course! Again- it's a full-on Windows PC.
While I wait for my new laptop to come sometime next week, I'm using mine as my primary PC-- have it hooked up to my monitor via micro HDMI and have a keyboard, mouse, and two external hard drives plugged into it.QuoteAlso, how does the display compare to other screens? I saw some reviews that said it wasn't as bright or colorful.
It's not going to be top of the line at that budget price, but it's a good 1366x678 (720P) screen that you're not going to have any quips with unless you matched it up right up against something else. There's not much to complain about for the price, really. Especially considering that the T100 comes with a full-on keyboard/touchpad-- not a weird rubbery thing, an actual fuckin' KEYBOARD. And again, newer models even get you that 500GB of extra storage in the keyboard dock. If I had that, mine would be loaded up with tons and tons of media and games.
Here's a thread Eel made where he tested various games on it. (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=41593.0)
We dont, but that was never the purpose of the other thread.
I'm not going to argue with you guys over this I literally cannot care anymore, I already discussed most of these animes off site.
Lyte, after a lot of research on tablets for anime watching ended up ordering a 64gb T100 + 500gb dock for like $460. Was tempted to get the Dell Pro 11 for the brighter 1080p screen, but it's basically $200 more, bigger and heavier and I'm mainly going to be watching stuff in the dark where I want comfort and anime is a format that scales really well so 720p vs 1080p doesn't make much of a difference.
Looking forward to it!

Studio Trigger revealed at its panel at Anime Expo on Thursday that Inferno Cop director Akira Amemiya will direct the studio's upcoming Ninja Slayer From Animation anime. Amemiya also served as an episode director for Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Kill la Kill, and Black Rock Shooter. He also directed the Gurren Lagann Parallel Works video anime.
Studio Trigger will start production on the anime in 2015, and Boom Boom Satellites (Xam'd: Lost Memories, Mobile Suit Gundam UC) will perform the main theme song "Back in Black." Studio Trigger will reveal the first teaser trailer on the anime's official website on July 6 at 11:00 a.m. EST.
The story was originally posted piecemeal on Twitter by Japanese "translators" Honda Yu and Sugi Leika, allegedly translating the work of American authors "Bradley Bond and Philip Ninj@ Morzez."

Oh man, this looks so good.
Hopefully the series is more like the 2nd half and less stupid boob/ass jokes for 11 year olds.
Watched Space Dandy Ep1. The first half was amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazingly cringe-worthy in only a way that Japanese people who don't understand English can be "BOOBIES"; the 2nd half on the alien planet was GREAT and hilarious and zomg animation. Hopefully the series is more like the 2nd half and less stupid boob/ass jokes for 11 year olds.
I don't get it
“‘HxH editor Onodera! What’s coming up in HxH!?’
Onodera: ‘There’s a scene coming up that will absolutely be in the top 3 most SHOCKING moments in all of HxH. Perhaps among the developments you all are eagerly waiting for… Get pumped everyone!!’
Jesus. Now you have to sign for Funi's service to stream shit. Fuck that, I'm pirating.

Lots of anime have great scores, guys!!
Cowboy Bebop's music is the best. RK's music is hot, but it's not as good as One Piece's, or Escaflowne or anything. But it's still great. Been a long time since the music in an anime impressed me.
People think Space Dandy is good?

Does Netflix have good anime? Someone I know watched AOT and liked it, but I dont have Netflix to tell him anything else.
Also is there a site that hosts the manga from where the anime ended? Mangastream only has so much before they stop due to licensing or respect, one of the two.

So, Ghibli's latest movie, When Marnie Was There, was basically a bomb. It opened at #3 in the box office and took in less than half of what Arrietty, the director's previous movie, did in its opening weekend, which was already a bit weak compared to other Ghibli movies. Long story short, they're in a really not good place right now.

Himu, you need to get over your Space Dandy hate. Recent episode was godly.
Finally caught ep2 of Sailor Moon Cyrstal. Glad they dropped the plotline where Luna thinks Ami is with the Negaverse.
This show can be pretty hype at times. At others, the direction feels a little lacking.

Zeta Gundam is still the GOAT Gundamn, IMO.
gundam unicorn is zzz. banager is no doubt the worst gundam mc ever.
the mecha porn and music are absolutely beautiful but every episode is the same, banager gets emo, some old guy or gal scold him, he gets his together only to fall apart at the end. repeat.gundam unicorn is zzz. banager is no doubt the worst gundam mc ever.
Yeah, I still haven't watched past ep4 because Banager sucks, everything is fan-fiction and ep4 angst was :\
Gorgeous mecha designs and action though. Will get around to finishing it sometime this year.
00 is still the best.

My interest in anime/manga has waned to almost nothing over the last 6 years but 2 days ago I finished reading something which reminded me of why I got into this shit in the first place. That manga was Knights Of Sidonia by the awesome Tsutomu Nihei. It is much more mainstream-friendly than his past works, but it still manages to deliver that special flavor of sci-fi that only Nihei and, to a further extent, anime/manga can provide. It was the first manga I read all year and I loved every chapter of it. I'm not sure if I will follow it monthly or if I will let a few more volumes come out before I go back to it, but this is definitely something I will stick with.

Sidonia also has an anime series. 13 episodes are out now [and available on Netflix], with another 13 starting up in November.
Ping Pong the Animation is only 11 episodes, and absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it. I dont even give a shit about Ping Pong.

With Zankyou No Terror, its seems to me that those kids would be better off if they sent the police and media a letter with all the details of the fuckery that happened, since they now have everyone's attention.

have you seen zettai karen children? it's about 3 little girls that have telekinetic powers so they form a super-hero unit but the public opinion doesn't accept them because there is an actual evil organizzation with telekinetic powers that's actualy into terrorism and other nasty stuff so they have to hide their power so they don't get ostracized and such

The police would of course independently verify their accusationsWith Zankyou No Terror, its seems to me that those kids would be better off if they sent the police and media a letter with all the details of the fuckery that happened, since they now have everyone's attention.
As in the real world, it would get denied up and down by the involved parties, the police as a whole wouldn't take it seriously, and the media would be highly skeptical of the accusations of a couple of terrorists. They need the police to dig up the evidence.

Started Persona 4 Golden Animation.
I dunno how I feel about it. I love the characters. But without the murder mystery it just seems sorta weak. Persona 4 was equal parts about the characters and the mystery. Without the mystery it just seems like it's walking on one leg.
Kill La Kill #25 is out.
Nat-Chan is lame as fuck. Eiichiro should definitely just end up with Kageyama.Agreed.
The 26 ep oneI stopped watching when things got all drama.
Also, Tylor was an awful, awful character. Just ended up being too weird and incomprehensible in the end.

Catching up on Space Dandy, still awesome.
Anybody who dropped the series early on is really missing out, and I mean that sincerely. What started out as a shakey space comedy with some amazing animation has slowly transformed into something really special over the course of its run. Some really hilarious episodes, some really poignant episodes, the constantly shifting crew of writers, directors, and animators has somehow managed to avoid letting one or the other have too much control while letting both have their own moments. Space Dandy is one of the few works of anime I've seen this decade that reminds of the golden age of OVAs from the mid-80s to the mid-90s, almost nothing else even comes close to this level of sheer exuberance for the medium.
I'm watching Trigun right nao. :fbmIt doesn't get better. Shit takes like half its run to get to the main plot. Some people at the time said this was better than Cowboy Bebop. Those people are fucking wrong.
It's pretty bad. :fbm
I like the art style though. :fbm

Reading through the Space Brothers manga at a nice pace cause the anime hiatus had me depressed. I was just about ready to skip through the Hibito in Russia arc cause it's boring as hell, but I was surprised to see that it's only like 2 chapters long in the manga.
Skipped it anyway. :piss Hibito :piss2
I didn't even mind Hibito surviving really. He's an alright character, its just that Mutta is way more interesting and no one cares about Hibito eloping with a 15 year old in Russia. At least it's thankfully short in the manga, but the bit in Russia and his whole PD thing dragged for way too long in the anime. All for the best that he's kicked out of the picture right afterward.really wished we got more of the old cosmonaut than hibito in that arc
The Mr. Hibbit filler in every episode could go die in a fire though. :maf

-Grisaia no Kajitsu: WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN the anime. Starts out as something that clearly must be a visual novel adoption. Serious-looking guy transfers to huge school that has...five students. All the girls look MOE/UGUU~ and don't even appear to be drawn in the same style as the main character. :lol It's all stupid dating sim-like garbage with with panty shots. My favorite part was the main character returning to his dorm and wondering if all the girls were masturbating in their rooms. :lol :dizzy :japancry :lol My wife and I both said we wouldn't be watching this...
..and then at the end, it's like this turns into a completely different show and totally crazy shit happens, suddenly making it interesting.

anything good like jojo from last season? very bored here.
I watched dandy with my friend so will watch season 2 with him too. never heard of the others so thanks.anything good like jojo from last season? very bored here.
There isn't really anything else like Jojo out there, though, but Space Dandy season 2 was great and shows like Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, Sabagebu, and Barakamon are all really fun.

Media service Crunchyroll announced at its uncensored Terraformars anime screening at New York Comic Con on Saturday that it will stream this uncensored version "at a later date TBA." The service has been streaming the same censored version that broadcast stations in Japan have been airing (with obscured scenes of violence) since September 26.Uncensored hyper racism agogo!
The story of Yū Sasuga and Kenichi Tachibana's original, graphically violent manga begins in the year 2577, hundreds of years after scientists sent cockroaches and mold to terraform Mars. However, when the first manned ships land on Mars, they encounter large humanoid cockroaches with great strength, and are wiped out. Humanity then sends elite warriors to Mars to eliminate the cockroaches.
i've been reading sanctuary, it's the story of two mans who decide to become powerfull figures in japan in order to revolutionize it, one of them called hojo decide to become a yakuza and the other named asami becomes a politician and the manga details their rise in power as hojo goes from being a simple grunt to a mafia boss while asami goes from a simple secretary to have his own political party... the art is really good and is actualy realisticaly drawn compared to your average manga but to be honest the story isn't that interessing, 75% of the manga can be described as either hojo or asami delivering passionate speech about how this political/mafia group should totaly join them and help them raising in power and prestige and wouldn't you know? it works everytime! these guys are so charismatic and perfect in every way that i think they could found a new religion if they wanted
at least since hojo is a yakuza there is actual yakuza drama, people gets shot... someone gets murdered... betrayal happens... but everytime the manga switch to asami,it's suddenly just a bunch of old mens talking about thing i'm not sure someone would find interessing even if they were actualy interessed in japanese politic

Don't forget about all the sex and rape- It's a manga that Ikegami was involved in, after all!
This is a pretty old manga series, Magus. I guess I shouldn't be surprised it got scanned, but I read through the whole thing in English back in the mid-90's. It got a so-so anime adaption and a live action movie (the guy who plays Asami is perfect, but Hojo looks nothing like his manga counterpart) too. This series is still nowhere near as fucked up as Crying Freeman.
well you made me curious about crying freeman so i gave a read to that too.....
...and i give up, it's like the most awfull kung-fu B movie ever if it was an actual manga, i like how in this manga mortaly wounding a goon is like a serious strategy to find the boss of an organization as the goon will always run straight up to his superior who can therefore be wounded until he too run to his superior! i simply can't take this level of stupid....

My g/f and I have been watching Madoka Magica. It's her first anime (apart from when we saw The Wind Rises in theater) and I was surprised she really took a liking to it. Up to episode 10 (of 12) and shit has really been picking up... the big plot twist hit and I just love when stuff gets all insane. And the scenes where they fight the witches are just sooo straight-up Persona. Great show.

this feels like a series done in 80s, which is nice, but the character designs from gainer and eureka 7 makes it feel jarring. hell, i was almost expecting the ending to be done by megumi hayashibara
Rebellion is pretty damn great, but it's polarizing for a good reason. The people that hate it are still wrong, though.

Btw, Attack on Titan is still overrated tripe, Sailor Moon Crystal could be better but is still enjoyable, YGO Arc-V is still something only I care about but it's great, and Hunter x Hunter ending made my life lose all meaning. But I might start watching Jojo so things might be okay.

3 discs, 6 postcards, a cardboard slipcover, and a coin.
I can't stand high school animu. :expert
Cowboy Bebop Blu-Ray set showed up a few days ago and my mom got me both of the Patlabor movies for ChristmasI got the collector's edition of the amazon Bebop bluray set. :D
:lawd :lawd :lawd
GITS Arise wasn't bad. Worth watching. There's like four of them total.GITS movie :zzz
GITS: Stand Alone Complex :hyper
Definitely. I was so bored by that movie while people were going nuts for it at release. They took the original comics, ditched the cool Shirow art style, ditched the humor, and left this boring story that got a bunch of attention because that's when anime finally exploded in the west. Total snoozer, literally-- I fell asleep watching it.
I liked the first Stand Alone Complex season but couldn't finish season 2. Got around halfway through.
Dufus, just based on your avatar, you should watch The Daily Lives Of High School Boys. It's like the guy equivalent of Azumanga Daioh.
this is where i admit i had preordered the Bebop SE, and canceled it six days before release, because i thought the amazon image was a placeholder and i was not clear why the other version was $40 cheaper, so i canceled what was the SE for the regular level 1 weeaboo edition.Oh, I did the same thing
needless to say, it is my personal L of the year, and mine alone to bear :gloomy
What exactly does that have to do with GITS being kinda boring?
It's funny how some people are turned off by colorful styles and only want to watch stuff in a 'teh mature' style. Same thing with games. Maybe with games it's even worse.
What exactly does that have to do with GITS being kinda boring?
Nothing. It's a boring adaption of a comic book that had pretty CG for the time, getting it some attention. That's about it.
:ufup
The greatest transgression the movie adaptation made was not including the Major's lesbian VR threesome.
So what are some anime movies with an art style similar to Ghost in the Shell? I'm interested in seeing more animu stuff but apparently most of the good movies are Ghibli and I can't say I'm into that art style.
is shirobako actually any good?
So it turns out Berserk is mostly on youtube. I've watched the first few episodes, and it's pretty fun. The low budget is the biggest flaw. I like the characters and the world a lot. Guts is a pretty great protagonist so far.
Something about Ghost in the Shell is really memorable. Can't get this movie out of my mind. I need to rewatch this ASAP.

:noah :noah Track of the year. New GBF and Parastye on Christmas Eve :noah
Urusei Yatsura's 2nd movie is legitimately great, as an anime movie and not just as a goofy comedy.
Yeah, and what's funny about it is that it's a Mamoru Oshii film. He did a good job with wacky-ass UY but somehow made wacky-ass GiTS a snoozer.
Rage of Bahamut was dopesick. Really enjoyed it.
Lesbian Bear Storm, Episode 01That and the magical boy show are probably the shows of the season. :hyper Haven't watched the mb show yet tho.

Based on the character designs and crew, it'll probably be a sequel to the Arise OVAs.
The new movie is being produced in celebration of 25 years of Ghost in the Shell. It will premiere in Japan sometime early this Summer, and will be handled once again by the Production I.G. studio, which has a long history with the franchise.
Tow Ubukata, who wrote the Ghost in the Shell: Arise movies, will be writing the screenplay for the new film as well. Meanwhile, Kazuya Nomura (Robotics;Notes anime) will serve as director. Japanese recording artist Cornelius (GITS: Arise) will provide music.
Why doesn't the Major wear pants?
A new season with plenty of new animes has started and you guys ain't talking about them :uguu
Why doesn't the Major wear pants?
Artificial/robotic body. Correct me if I'm wrong, but only the robotic characters tend to be scantily-clad like that in GITS.
Yuri Kuma Arashi: WHAT THE FUCK DID I WATCH? :lol
One day when two of the club members, Atsushi and En, are taking a bath in a bathhouse, a talking pink Wombat appears out of nowhere and requests the two boys to help save the Earth with the power of love. Unfortunately, the bathhouse owner's son, Yumoto sees the wombat and chases after it while saying "Let me fluff you up!".
Cross Ange: Continues to be such a fun, fucked-up show and is nothing like images might have you expect it to be. It's a like a totally fucked-up Gundam (and is made by Sunrise, too!).:gladbron :gladbron :gladbron
I only had enough money to buy one of them! And I liked the Jason figure more.
Roberta's Blood trail :mynicca
So female Jason is wearing jean shorts under regular jeans? ???
Why doesn't the Major wear pants?
new fate/stay night is all kinda weird. one episode omg goddamn archer you beast
the next it turn into another harem show with some ideology thrown around...
Why doesn't the Major wear pants?
a) tactical distraction value
b) cyborg bodies don't need protection from the elements, and fabric encasement is a potential liability; covering societally required minimum on anatomically correct cyborg body is a courtesy
c) Shirow is a big perv

I don't disagree with your assessment of Shirow, but The Major's wardrobe was somewhat more conservative in the manga than in the first season of SAC.

I liked the explanation that since she's in a cybernetic body, she doesn't have as much modesty about it.
I think we all agree that Shirow is a perv. Didn't he used ot draw hentai?
Binge watched Akame ga Kill these past 2 days because my cousins have been bothering me to watch it for months now. I approve.Started good then diverted from the manga and turned to shit.
My roommate got me into Gurren Lagaan. This is one of the best shows I've seen in awhile. I'm 11 episodes in, just did the one where they fought the armadillo guy.

I just got to the part where the plot changes direction considerably. Really awesome time jump.
Mag Garden hosted a teaser website on Tuesday that reported that a new anime in the Aria franchise has been green-lit. The company removed the website soon after it opened.
According to the site, the new anime, titled Aria the Avvenire (Aria the Arrived), will be once again directed by Junichi Sato (Kaleido Star, Pretear, Sailor Moon), and will also feature the return of Reiko Yoshida (Tokyo Mew Mew, Bakuman.), who will handle scripts. The new animation's format has not been specified, although the teaser website listed that an event screening of the anime will occur on September 26. The anime is being produced as part of the larger "Ao no Curtain Call" (Blue Curtain Call) project, which celebrates 10 years since the broadcast of the first Aria anime. "All television series" will also receive a Blu-ray Box release in Japan as part of the same project.
finished Knights of Sidonia.
It's wasn't bad. Some really cool concepts. Concepts they did nothing with. But still. I hope they do another season.
Finished Gurren Lagann. The final arc with the campaign into Anti Spiral space and the final battle were incredible. I didn't like what they did with Nia though.
Also, why does Yoko do everything in a bra and booty shorts. Gratuitous fan service.
I started on Parasyte, which is phenomenal so far (6 episodes in).

I must thank lyte edge and beezy for bringing up Cross Ange, I'm up to episode 9 and I'm really enjoying it. I knew about before but so many shows start every season. It's funny that episode 8 which I thought was just gonna be fanservice ep actually had plot progression in it :lol.
I'm all caught up on Parasyte, at least what's available on Crunchyroll. So far, this is one of the best shows ever. It's also become very Resident Evil-esque (games, not movies) over the last 10 episodes or so. The concept is actually a lot like Mikami's original concept for RE4, where Leon would gain superpowers as a result of partial infection by some new umbrella virus.
Side note: the way Migi says "Shinichi" cracks me up every time he says it.
The most recent episode of the NBC crime drama Law and Order: Special Victims Unit has touched off intense discussion in the anime community. The episode, titled “Loliconvict”, featured detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Tutuola (Ice-T) pursuing an illicit doujinshi ring. The episode takes the detectives to an anime convention where they attend a boring panel discussion on the topic “what the hell is moe, anyway?”, and to several basements packed to the rafters with idol figures and dakimakura.
Throughout the episode, the agents crack down on otaku and the recent “moe” phenomenon, hinted to be synonymous with child pornography. Otaku, the episode explains, are dangerous reclusive criminals who peddle explicit cartoons. Agent Tutuola apprehends one otaku early in the episode and uncovers his harem of wives (known as “waifu”) before remarking that the man’s waifu were “shit.”
While many members of the anime community criticized the episode for inaccurately portraying anime fans as sexually deviant misogynist polygamist socially inept criminal weirdos, the writing staff insists that the episode was carefully researched.
“Our writers spent hours poring over Anitwitter, /a/, and several major anime websites in order to make the episode as believable as possible,” episode director Warren Leight told Anime Maru.
“In one scene, Detective Tutuola says that he read on ANN that Kirino was, in fact, best OreImo. That’s actually something we really saw on that website. See what I mean? We are committed to being authentic.”
Saw some thing about a new GitS Arise TV series coming out this year on Famitsu's website.

lol I didn't get passed the first ep.
Something about the style I find extremely off-putting. The music, the animation, everything. :yuck
I like Taimanin Asagi.
The most recent Parasyte was nuts. Who is this Tyrant dude tanking shotgun blasts?
I thought they were two different guys. The guy Shinichi fought always had a goofy grin, while this dude looked older and much more serious. There are arty least 2 super parasites at this point, no?

What a spectacular load of horse shit. I wonder how many of these preemptive armchair critics have ever created a fucking thing in their lives.
The wraparound jacket band on OKAYADO's seventh Monster Musume (Monster Musume no Iru Nichijō or Everyday Life with Monster Girls) manga volume is announcing on Friday that a television anime adaptation has been green-lit. The accompanying flyer adds that the series will premiere in July and debuted the first anime visual.
Watching Toonami for the first time in forever. The fuck is this Kill La Kill? In a 3 second span I saw gratuitous underboob, sideboob, booty shot, and camel toe. I expect the cops to show up any minute now.
This girl is naked like 90% of the time. And when she's not, she's in a skimpy outfit with lots of close ups of the naughty bits.
finished utena.
was good.
movie tomorrow. then maybe i'll check out the more recent kunihiko ikuhara directed shows.
That's what you get for watching anime. :ufup
you know, while i was actually watching utena it was mostly just some moderately interesting low-budget cartoon show to me, but now that it's had some time to slosh around in my subconscious i think it is starting to seriously have a profound effect on me. like, i was just thinking about the relationships among a few of my friends and my brain started to spontaneously generate a bunch of weird symbolic imagery - derived from the show's motifs of flowers and cars and such but given an original adaptation to my friends' situation - and serve it up to my mental visual space. what is happening to me O_O
Now you're ready for Cross Ange.

Finished Parasyte. This is a hall of fame show.
There's going to be a season 2, right?
I wonder how censored Triage X is gonna be.
Waiting on Sound! Euponium to air.
there's a movie too, it's pretty good. don't know if you'd like it if you didn't like the slower/slice of life-er s2 though, but it's worth watching.
Wife's on a moe kick. We watched K-on together. I actually really liked the first season the second season though just lost all steam all together.

It's GOAT-tier moe anime.
Watched the Listen to me Girls I'm your Father OVA 2 to see what the fuss was about, don't do the same :-\
Four years after their disappearance, the spirits of Yuri and Shingo decide to pay a visit to the Takanashi household to see how Yuuta and the girls have grown. After looking around the house, the pair go to observe each of the girls at their respective schools, learning that Yuuta and Sora are getting married to each other. Later, as Hina comes down with a fever, but luckily Yuuta and Sora are there to look after her. Afterwards, Sora and Yuuta give their thanks to Yuri and Shingo, who give their blessing before returning to the afterlife.

WAT
So Sora is Yuuta's niece (not blood related) and is 14 years old for most of the show/novel/whatever. Conveniently 18 to get married after a four-year timeskip. And entirely creepy. What happened to that big-tittied girl Yuuta went to college with? I would have thought she would be the new mom.

They talk about her for about 10 seconds, she doesn't even make an appearance.
Bones might be onto something with Blood Blockade Battlefront. Other than Space Dandy and Star Driver what else have they made worth a damn in the last 5 years?noragami is alright
I quit Captain Earth cause it was pretty shit and Chaika looks like some bullshit.
I know E7:AO and Soul Eater Not are garbage so I'm not even going to bother with those.

The long-running Japanese Christian newspaper Christ Weekly has introduced a new comic strip, Puritan, which represents Christianity's various sects as people. While details are scarce thus far, the main character, "Puritan" — a bespectacled middle school student — and her older brother, Kaikakuha-kun ("Reformed Church"), have been introduced.

<Aequitas> that translates to

<Aequitas> fucking a man
<Veritas> well is it
Its title made me think this would be about some overly-confident asshole who trolls around looking for girls. Instead he's some weak little man-boy.
Rekan: This is another comedy show about a girl who can see and talk to ghosts (and animals). Kind of "slice of life" style with most of the laughs coming from her classmates being affected by the ghosts instead of her. Seemed OK.
Being OK with all of Triage X but not with Danmachi. ???

I loved Kimi no Uso, but I didn't really like the ending.spoiler (click to show/hide)I'm totally fine Kaori dying, you could see it coming a mile away, the ending itself left me wanting for better epilogue. I almost feel like it could have ended on a stronger note if the part where Arima is playing during the recital was the ending proper.[close]
Yeah that part's fine. I just feel like they could have done more with the twist than they did.
Though to be fair, the anime did the ending slightly better than the manga by making it all one episode and making X's fate not as immediately obvious until the part with the letter. The manga's last chapter is entirely the letter reading bit while the chapter before it is the end of the piano recital. Kind of a wimpy way to end things after how great the buildup is during the whole time Kousei is playing.
A true treat for Anime lovers, Otaku no Video is an outrageous mockumentary that combines the superb animation that made Gainax one of Japan's best-loved animation studios with truly strange interviews with "real fans". Sit back and enjoy this thinly-disguised alternate history of Gainax, as a small band of Otaku set out to "Otakunize" the entire human race.

Of course then part 3 was mostly shit with Holly. :goty Why they gotta spend so much time on her.
OK, question time : Should I bother with the Bubblegum Crisis series ?
I'm fairly easily swayed by eighties stuff, I love Dirty Pair and obviously everything Shirow. Is it relevant to my interests ? I don't really watch anime anymore but genuine blasts from the pasts I could get into.
Yes, definitely watch Bubblegum Crisis. There's even a nice new Bluray out that Animeigo did a really good job with.
AD Police Files is right up your alley, too.
Aren't those BG blu-rays ridiculously-expensive?
Was 2040 worth watching? Never bothered with that.

Ruzbeh, I don't understand you or anyone else that complains so much about Shinji's unwillingness and whiny attitude. He's a 14 year old with mommy/daddy/abandonment issues, he isn't just going to jump in the robot and be like "fuck yeah lets do this, lets fuck some angels up!" That's not him and understandable why that not him but he still gets the job done.
It makes perfect sense that he's such a whiny little shit. But the SHOW REVOLVES AROUND HIM.

Started Code Geass. This might be the GOAT.:respect
Any actual good anime in the past year? Because if it's anything like what I'm seeing on this page, I'm guessing no.
Was there really much of a sales market for tapes and LDs back when most of these OVAs were being made in the late 80's/early 90's, though?
OVAs were my shit back in the day. Nice and quality animation, had short episode counts so you only had to buy one or two tapes to have it all...
working season 3
:aah
And then...Gunsmith Cats, which wasn't bad, but disappointing compared to BEAN and the manga it came from.
I watched about 2/3 of Code Geass about 6-7 years ago. Really enjoyed it back then, but just never got around to finishing it for one reason another. At this point, I doubt I'll ever go back to it, though.
If you're still interested in more Code Geass after watching the second season, there's a movie pentalogy about a different group of characters in the same universe[takes place a few years after the series, I think]. The final movie isn't out in Japan until February of next year, though.
Currently watching Space Dandy season 2. It's a fun series but it is really uneven : the art and animation are often sub par, the tone is all over the place, the characters are one dimensional. Really disappointing coming from Watanabe.
Also the fuck with how long the opening credits are ? Are Bones padding this shit to save some money >:( ?

What episodes had substandard art and animation? I recall a number of them that looked as good as anything that's aired in recent memory. The fish episode in particular was some sublime shit.
Working!!!
Man, it seems like they'll definitely tie up all the loose ends.
In the crossover drama CD bundled with the Servant x Service limited edition Blu-ray/DVDs, [Yachiyo] and [Satou] go together to enter their names into the family register, and after the process is completed, [Satou] refuses to stop bullying Popura by changing her hairstyle, saying that he is too happy being a newlywed man...and instead of babbling about Kyoko to others, [Yachiyo] now boasts about her husband, [Satou].
I tried to watch Ushio to Tora which seemed like a normal cartoon that isn't obsessed with little girls etc. But I couldn't finish the first ep. It was already too ham fisted for my liking, but as soon as high school kids showed up and some girls were introduced, I bailed out. I don't know WHAT it is Japanese animators do to make these girls so intolerable and obnoxious. Dem squeaky voices.
Fuck anime.
It's hard to take Prison School seriously with the relentless fan service.
It's hard to take relentless fan service seriously with the obtrusive censorship - steam does not magically coalesce around titties, that's just science, everyone knows that. :maf
Prison School is all about taking something that's ridiculous and nonsensical, but treating it like it's the most deadly serious thing ever.
Sounds like pretty much every anime ever
Cowboy Bebop is incredibly boring. Given how awesome the characters are it's actually surprisingly boring. It's a very slow movie-like anime that just doesn't know how to have fun.

[He] has a tendency to call others, including his own teammates, "small fry" or "zaku" interchangeably. A commonly used word in his vocabulary is "gross." While it varies, he usually uses the word to describe the passionate sentiments of others, such as camaraderie or vengeful feelings.

You should read the manga if you're looking for resolution.
Is there anything decent out there that came out recently? I don't want to have to rewatch Hikaru no Go for the 2nd time.

How does that get a s3 but Free! doesn't? :'(
How does that get a s3 but Free! doesn't? :'(
Because Free! is an original anime, so there's not a million volumes of the manga they can just adapt for the anime.
YowaPeda S3 was announced, Kara.

Valykrie Drive Mermaid: :nsfw the anime. Makes shows like Queen's Blade look tame. This is from some of the same people who made the Senran Kagura games and there are similarities in that it's (mostly) fighting schoolgirls...except now you can add in a heavy, very clear lesbian element to everything. They're not hiding anything...the premise is that there pairs of girls with powers. One girl transforms into a weapon that the other girl wields. To trigger a transformation, the weapon girl has to get sexually excited. So yeah, :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw. Lots of feels in the literal sense here and absurd titty shots (with visible aureoles). I can see why nobody is streaming this. :lol

Funimation picked it up, but they haven't started airing it yet. I wonder if they're working on a censored version.
Is Durarara good? What is good that's on netflix? I'm gonna have some time to kill at work today :lol
I think I'm done with anime.
I'd watch One Piece, but it's really gone to hell.
One Punch Man is a bore.
Oh yeah I actually forgot I watch Gintama. Okay I guess I'm not completely done with anime. But watching One Punch Man made me realize animu just isn't my style. I'd rather watch some other type of cartoon like The Simpsons. Western cartoons are just plain superior in terms of entertainment value, even if anime is more epic and has nice art. And let's not forget western cartoons aren't so full of weird shit like anime. :kobeyuck

Honestly just watch everything Yoshiaki Kawajiri (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshiaki_Kawajiri) has directed. Plots are always fairly simple/easy to digest but he's has a great style and always fun. One of my favorites. Even the Highlander ova/film he did was solid.
Side Note: Apparently an american production company is trying to get a vampire hunter d cgi tv series off the ground with Kawajiri's involvement:

Yoshiaki Kawajiri is one of the hardest working dudes in the industry [though not as much anymore], he's basically Hayao Miyazaki if Hayao Miyazaki had decided to make trashy 80's scifi-action instead of kid's movies.
Interesting detail about Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, the English dub is actually the original version. A Japanese dub was produced later, but it was shown in Japanese theaters with subtitles.

Which episodes of the Arise TV series were original and not chopped up OVAs?
Can someone explain all the Jojo series, when they were made and how they relate to the manga? Does each no one continue the old? Are there reboots?
Shit's confusing.
My main beef with Part 3 is the cleverness and intelligence of characters goes down a lot. Instead of characters being clever, they have clever stands or powers to use. Part 3 feels like a experiment compared to the previous parts, as Stands were introduced and were played around with a lot. Way too much emphasis on Polnareff, and there isn't really a feeling of danger until the last episodes.
From what I've read and hear, Part 4 has more unique characters and a lot more characterization. So far, Part Two is the best.
Part 1: 9/10
Part 2: 9.5/10
Part 3: 7.5 or 8/10

Have fun with your moe blob macross...?
:idont
bebpotril: finished fate/zero
bebpotril: last 2 eps were complete nonsense and then total non-ending
bebpotril: I guess because it's a prequel and setting up the next series
bebpotril: which I know nothing about
bebpotril: but wasn't really satisfying
bebpotril: at all
bebpotril: psycho priest guy gets resurrected as a zombie wtf, gilgamesh becomes a human wtf, no resolution to saber v gilgamesh battle? I mean Gilgamesh is a total dick the entire show and then in the end he doesn't even get a fight and the grail just freaks out and explodes blood all over him and now he's a human, and the city explodes
bebpotril: ...
bebpotril: hope some of these plotlines are wrapped up in Fate/Stay Night
bebpotril: cause I guess I'll be watching that next!
bebpotril: best part of Fate/Zero was Akio Otsuka's Rider. Probably best role he's ever done outside of Snake
(duckroll defends show)
bebpotril: it's not about who wins
bebpotril: it's about no resolution to a number of major plotlines
bebpotril: basically nothing happens in the final 2 eps
bebpotril: the grail is destroyed by saber and then it forms again in the sky and then EVA NONSENSE EXPLOSION
bebpotril: and then people are resurrected or changed
bebpotril: and show is over
bebpotril: hope you get resolution in Stay Night
bebpotril: I mean the main two characters, the assassin and the priest, their conflict is not resolved
bebpotril: saber v gilgamesh is not resolved
bebpotril: the entire what the grail is and does and the whole point of the battles is gibberish
bebpotril: In my mind the show ended when Gilgamesh beats Rider at the end of the 3rd to last ep. Good fight, good ending for Rider.
bebpotril: then Eva nonsense final 2 eps
bebpotril: basically the grail explanation in the last 2eps is that the grail wants to be wished upon to come into the world, it wants to use the main guys wish to kill off a chunk of the world to save the rest, main guy denies it and destroys the grail, but somehow grail survives and is brought into the world anyhow (wat) it blows up the city, changes gilgamesh to human, brings priest back to life and somehow main assassin guy survives and saves a buried kid, the end.
bebpotril: I feel like zero had some plot hole issues along the way too. But mostly it was the final eps nonsense that brings the show down. Even a lot of the battles were pretty lame. Like Rider loses his chariot by rushing straight into Saber's excalibur and then poof it's gone? Kind of underwhelming. And Saber v Berserker finishes off-screen when Saber is losing and cuts to her having won. Also Berserker dude felt underdeveloped and never really used as anything more than a filler character to stall time.
bebpotril: I'm being critical, but it was a mostly good show that had great art/music/animation/directing, interesting grey area characters, and solid plotting outside of some dumb stuff. Was pretty good. I'm guessing most of the plot problems it suffers is from trying to work itself in perfectly in the timeline to be a prequel and set everything up just as it should be for stay/night.
bebpotril: the best scenes in Zero were the interactions between interesting characters. Like Gilgamesh, for all the arrogant dick he was, he had the right to be because he was just way stronger than everyone else, and he still had a certain amount of respect for people like Rider. He was an interesting character. Main Kiritsugu assassin guy was a very interesting character. Rider was great. Priest dude was....kind of dumb character, like it was interesting when Gilgamesh was toying with him, but him post going full crazy was just kind of generic crazy character.
bebpotril: I think my favorite part of the show was Gilgamesh/Rider/Saber drinking together and talking
bebpotril: and the most fucked up well written part of the show was the Saber/Lancer battle for honor that ends in Lancer committing suicide and then his master and girlfriend getting shot by the main character in the most non-honorable way. That was a damn good way to turn the show on its head and fuck with expectations.
Beps, I definitely agree with you about the lack of resolution and some of the battles feeling cheap.
The huge gap in the middle of the Saber vs Berserker fight irritated the hell out of my roommate and I. Both of us were also hoping for a much more satisfying Saber vs Rider fight than what we got.
Berserker fighting Gilgamesh while Saber and others battle Caster & his monster was the best battle in the series, IMO.
I also liked the mage vs mage fight with an overmatched Kiritsugu using tech and trickery to fight that super powerful douchey mage from the university (can't remember his name).
Definitely watch Fate/Stay Night, but be warned that it's basically a shonen-type show. Very different from Zero. But some of the characters return, and there are some equally cool battles. The new Caster in FSN is fantastic. FSN's Berserker is also really cool, though I might have liked Zero's Berserker a little more.
Also be sure you're watching the newer Unlimited Blade Works version and not the original FSN.
A friend convinced me to watch One Punch Man.
The fact an anime this pure and unviolated by moé garbage exists in this day and age is a miracle. What have we done to deserve such joyful respite?

I tried watching the original Evangelion series a month or two ago, wasn't feeling it at all. Watched clips of it recently, still not feeling that show at all. :-\
I thought the humor was bizarre in a not funny type of way, a lot of stuff feels nonchalant when it comes to narrative and the narrative moving forward, the characters have personalities but it feels corny in a not awesome type of way.
The art and animation is top notch though, the show is beautiful. Love the style, don't dig the substance at all.

Gundam Tekketsu's been really, really freaking solid so far. Getting non-Gundam staffers to make a Gundam show seems to be paying off as the show is very human with good characters and character development. Battles are nice and semi-realistic as well. It's really making its way to potentially be one of the best Gundam shows if it doesn't completely fall apart at some point.

Oh god, I'm rewatching Slayers and I'm enjoying it more than I expected. I wondered whether it was right for me to rate Slayers Next higher.I love Slayers, but Season 1 blatantly does the same story arc twice. :duh Next is clearly the goat of the original three seasons. Try ain't bad but it's kind of hard to believe anything is a remotely viable threat to Lina considering the shit she and the rest of her crew pulled off at the end of Next. As for me I still haven't viewed Evolution-R yet. :o I should do a marathon week of it all sometime. :hyper
Then I remembered the ep where Lina can't use any magic 'cause she's on her period. :snoop

Hope you guys are ready for the next Attack on Titan:Is this like when the people who made Noir went on to make Madlax which was the same show down to the DVD packaging? Champloo reused Spike's design from Bebop but it was still its own series. Those character designs have a bit of a retro 80s/early 90 vibe to them so that new series MIGHT be okay

The first 2016 issue of Hakusensha's Young Animal magazine (cover shown right) is announcing on Friday that a new anime adaptation project of Kentarou Miura's Berserk manga has been green-lit. NBC Universal will unveil the anime's first promotional video at its winter Comiket booth, which will run from December 29-31. The announcement did not note the format of the anime (TV, film, OAV, etc.).http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-12-21/berserk-gets-new-anime-project-featuring-guts-as-black-swordsman/.96773
Miura comments in the magazine that the anime project will depict Guts in his "Black Swordsman" appearance, which is only revealed in parts of the manga that go beyond any previously animated Berserk story, and is only briefly hinted at in the first and last episode of the 1997 television anime series.'
I knew I wouldn't have to steep to reading manga :rejoiceIt's good shit, OK, just never getting finished. :fbm

We've got:
Gundam The Origin
Gundam Orphans
Gundam Thunderbolt
Is this correct?
Watched Build Fighters. G Reco looked like shit, but I'm a big Tomino fan. Haven't seen it.
Thanks for the clarification, will watch Orphans.
I'm probably the only person in the world who really enjoyed Gundam Age.

26 episodes of Space Dandy and only 5 of them are worth watching.
I watched the first ep of Psycho-Pass because Netflix is taking it off at the end of next week and it's Gen Urobochi (but Blood+ director :yuck). First ep was ok, is it worth watching the other 21 eps? Is the show good?

This is just a regular Netflix delisting, and not Funimation losing the rights to the show is it? They've lost the rights to a few things lately.

I have directed my SO to Black Lagoon, the occasion for me to do a rewatch (I probably watched it in 2009 or 2011...?). Surprinsingly, the action scenes are a lot more pedestrian than I remembered (Especially the S1 Roberta's episodes, it's good fun but really derivative and there's a bit of filler). The writing, however, is holding really well : characters are memorable despite the first impression of a Cowboy Bebop ripoff and the somewhat crass design of Revy, and there's some actual depth to their interactions. The series is also very strong in the setting's depiction, and I suspect it took some cues from the John Sayles penned Men of War movie. Either way, it manages to create characters and places that are both abhorrent and sympathetic. There's a bit of self awareness going on too, and the show never goes full distinguished mentally-challenged fellow dark & gritty either.
Never watched the OVA mini series which serves as S3 ? Is it good ? I'm a bit worried that Roberta is in it... as I said, fun character but super gimmicky also.
I liked the Roberta thing, but it's been quite a while since I saw it (when it came out I think?). Tbh the thing I remember most starkly about Black Lagoon is the bit where they went to Japan and talk english.

FLCL seasons 2 and 3 being produced by Production IG and Adult Swim.
Are we getting more anime revivals this year?
Back for the new season is FLCL series creator Kazuya Tsurumaki, serving as supervisor with director Katsuyuki Motohiro (Psycho-Pass) and character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Neon Genesis Evangelion). Also joining this season is writer Hideto Iwai (Last Dinner).
In the new season of FLCL, many years have passed since Naota and Haruhara Haruko shared their adventure together. Meanwhile, the war between the two entities known as Medical Mechanica and Fraternity rages across the galaxy. Enter Hidomi, a young teenaged girl who believes there is nothing amazing to expect from her average life, until one day when a new teacher named Haruko arrives at her school. Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.
But why did Haruko return to Earth?
What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota?
And where did the human-type robot ‘Canti’ go?
While they're at it, hit us up with Big O season 3.

Soon enough, Medical Mechanica is attacking her town and Hidomi discovers a secret within her that could save everyone, a secret that only Haruko can unlock.
But why did Haruko return to Earth?
What happened to her Rickenbacker 4001 she left with Naota?
And where did the human-type robot ‘Canti’ go?
At least it seems like they're putting a new spin on it, instead of just retreading the exact same ground. Although, I suppose they could still do that anyway.
I hear the manga is better.

Attempting to restart Neon genesis Evangelion again. I always get to about 6 or 7 episodes in and get to be like "Why the hell am I watching this? All these characters are shit!" but I want to at least be able to say I finished it. God I hate Shinji.
First episode was alright. Covered the first case. They got the text boxes, music, and sound effects from the game. Took me on a nostalgia trip.
I hope that when they dub it, they commit to the LA setting of the game

just put on one of the movies, mute it while you do other shit but still admiring the animation.
Is the Ace Attorney anime any good? I really, really want it to be good.The first episode was okay. Pacing was off and the animation definitely needs work, but it isn't bad for a start, I still enjoyed it.
The season finale of Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans was great. From the start I was worried that they'd introduce some shitty relationship drama to ruin the show, but they never did. I hope season 2 is just as lucky.
KABANERI OF THE IRON FORTRESS is up on amazon prime now today worldwide. At least ep 1 (im guessing they're doing the weekly thing). It being on amazon might explain why the animation looked good. (and yes it's subbed)

You know what? I'm looking for anime recommendations and since the bore is a much more sane crowd that won't recommend things the receipt obviously doesn't want I thought it would be the best place.
You know what? I'm looking for anime recommendations and since the bore is a much more sane crowd that won't recommend things the receipt obviously doesn't want I thought it would be the best place.
I'm looking for tv shows. Not too long. No shounen stuff and preferably not dealing with high school stuff. Something a 25+ person can actually watch.
What kind of anime do I like? Gundam, Evangelion, Giant Robo, Macross Plus, Bebop, Nadesico, Gurren Lagann, Utena, Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, Beserk, Escaflowne, and well that's mostly what I've kept around since my anime dvd purge. So I'm looking for something that has solid storytelling basically. Something not too dumb. Thing's I've liked recently would include Iron Blooded Orphans, Fate Zero, A Women Called Fujiko Mine, The New Italian Lupin thingy, and that's about it. I like fun stuff, but wouldn't mind something meaty.
Thanks.
Rahx, I think you would like Erased(12 episodes), Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress finishes this Thursday(12 episodes). Definitely co-signing Death Parade.
edit: got a copy of I Am A Hero omnibus 1 in today. bought on a whim, seems neat.It's not as focused as I'd like it to be, but it does have a slightly more interesting spin on a zombie apocalypse than other stories. Lots of "sigh, Japan" though, so beware. It only becomes fully apparent once he starts travelling with a schoolgirl. :doge

This is available on Amazon Prime.jp and looks interesting. Is it steampunk? What's the deal with the train?

Rahxephon asking for anime recs? That's like PD asking who the best black dick pornstars are.I actually don't watch much anime anymore. Watching the first 4 episodes of Iron Blooded Orphans is the most anime I've seen since 2013 when I watched Fate Zero.
I'm inclined to trust Hanazawa (author of I Am a Hero) considering he wrote Ressentiment, which is a total evisceration of loser otaku fantasies and one of the only good examples of the stuck in a game world story.

Just recently got into the Berserk Manga and I'm already pissed that we don't know when the next chapter will be.
I'm glad I jumped in as they got off the island, years of that must have killed you guys who have been in it for far longer.
Just recently got into the Berserk Manga and I'm already pissed that we don't know when the next chapter will be.Oh shit, I guess it's time for me to catch up on Berserk. I can't even remember the last chapter that I read.
I'm glad I jumped in as they got off the island, years of that must have killed you guys who have been in it for far longer.
During a protacted civil war that pitted the North against the South, the outnumbered Northerners used dark magic to create monsterous super-soldiers called Incarnates. Now that the war has ended, those Sacred Beasts must learn to make their way in a peaceful society, or face death at the hands of a Beast Hunter.
Nancy Schaal Bancroft, the daughter of an Incarnate, turns to hunting the hunter herself. But once she catches up with her quarry, she discovers hard truths about the lives of these Sacred Beasts.
New Berserk looks off :-\More than off, positively 'eh'. They hit the tone, but the music is bleh and the animation quality doesn't bode well for any upcoming action. Looks like it's gonna have the typical uneven quality of a TV productionm where they save their budget for some pivotal scenes and shoestring it for everything else.
Hope this gets a season two. 24 eps is probably enough to do about half the story post-eclipse. They could probably get to the boat with a 2nd season.Yeah, it seems that they're going to contract it a bunch, cut out some fluff, move up later introductions. What they did in the first episode was smart. Even Farnese and Serpico already showed up. I wonder which apostles they're going to leave in until he's assembled his RPG party.
I'm down to watch JoJo someday, Arslan remake of classic show to look like FMA? :yuck

The FMA manga artist did/is doing an Arslan manga series, which the new anime is based on.
I guess I'll get some hate here, but I really don't like Fullmetal Alchemist.

Do you like watching "tarento" sit around and talk about stupid shit and do stupid shit on variety shows? Because that's what is popular over there. And it's mostly awful. The dramas are like bad live action anime.
Leaked trailer for Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4k9d21
More new animuu~I went to kissanime and watched the first episode of that last one. I cannot believe that was meant to air on regular TV here. That's quite explicit content for actual standard broadcast.
91 Days- Mafia drama, taking place during the prohibition era, but in what does not appear to be the States and in some lawless territory. The main character's family were brutally murdered by gangsters when he was a kid and he runs away, only to come back later to meet up with his buddy, who has become a bootlegger. Has a few character designs that look a bit too modern, but other than that I liked the first episode.
Shokugeki No Soma- Season 2 is underway, picking up right from where the first season left off. I never thought I'd like a show about cooking battles...but it's fun.
Mob Psycho 100- Has a bit of a weird/ugly art style (on purpose) and is about a con-artist "psychic" who has fooled a junior high school kid into being his protege. Only the protege, Mob, is actually psychic and can use his powers to stop/exorcise ghosts. Good for some laughs.
Masou Gakuen HxH- This season's :nsfw anime. Did I say :nsfw? Better make that :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw :nsfw. This is sort of like Valkyrie Drive, only dialed up even more and with a dude instead of all girls. There's weird monsters invading and naturally only high school kids with special powers to summon "armor" (AKA next to nothing) and weapons and shit can save them! But how do they power up? Why, by being fondled and made to orgasm, of course! This show is so lewd that a network or two banned it from airing in Japan. :lol

And it's horrible writing to boot. I mean, I know I'm the guy complaining about the plot in a porno here, but there are wide swathes of people yammering at each other and fighting sequences, and it's all tropes and nonsensical tactics. Nobody has thought about anything. But otaku do love their conflicted girlfriend-mothers in bikinis, so whatever.

It's kind of whack how shitty shows like SAO can have fantastic animation while fucking Berserk has to look like garbage.

Well, I mean it makes perfect sense. Berserk is so wildly different from what is the marketable anime market these days full of boobs, waifus, comedies and all-female harem casts. I can see why getting a gritty violent show about a rough ugly dude with a big sword killing ugly monsters in faux-medieval europe is a tough sell in Japan right now. I'm guessing the show will probably too awful in ratings/sales and we won't get another Berserk anything for another 18 years or so when the manga finishes and maybe Japan's moved away from the waifus.
I actually think the idea some people were floating that Berserk should be picked up by HBO as a live-action TV show fits more than it does as a Japanese anime in both markets. I mean shit, HBO does the Golden Age arc and that finale would totally be the next red wedding.
Also I'm reading Berserk anime is only set for 12 episodes? That sucks. Even at this speed they're not going to get all that far with just 12. Was hoping for at least 24 eps. The Musou game will definitely get further since it's going through the Millennial Falcon arc.
Ive seen a lot of anime, some recently, some months ago but I don't always post about it, so here are my :expert thoughts:
Berserk 2016 is good, does it look very good? lol no but it's very entertaining. The sound when Guts swings his sword is great, I laughed at first but the sound has such a unique effect, it really works for me. I think it's a mistake to compare the quality to a PS2 game, you should compare to other CGI series like Sidonia,Bubuki Buranki or even western shows like TMNT or Star Wars. Does it look good compared to those shows? lol no but I think it's a fairer comparison than a video game. However I don't know the difference in making a CGI cutscene in a game and making a CGI series, could be a lot, could be none. I'm no expert.
Please Save My Planet is 6 part OVA series, nice shoujo stuff, alien reincarnation and psychic powers if I remember correctly.
Cyber City Oedo 808,Wicked City and Demon City were good stuff. I think I've seen most Kawajiri works aside from Highlander.
The Last: Naruto the Movie and Boruto were really nice, I preferred Boruto because it was shorter and had a simpler story. High quality looking movies especially Boruto.
I like Twin Star Exorcists/Sousei no Onmyouji because it's nice simple action show about fighting,training and hijinks. It does nothing really special but it's a nice show.
Jojo,Mob Psycho,Days,Bananya,Taboo Tattoo,D.Grayman,Sweetness and Lighting,Thunder Bolt Fantasy are all nice. There are some stuff I'm forgetting, so I'll make another :expert post in the future.
stop bullying berserk.
So is it happening or not?
First time reading through Berserk. Just got past the Eclipse. So fucking depressing.
Wait until you find out where trolls come from!
Aka, I made a really shit movie (3.0) and I'm so ashamed that I've had no confidence in making another movie (4.0) after that so I made a silly Godzilla film and now maybe I can make a new Eva movie that doesn't suck.
It's a one of the best directed shows about dealing with social anxiety and depression, something a lot of 15 year olds (especially in Japan) can relate to. If you can't relate at all then yeah I can see it being a case of a show about a bunch of losers and annoying to watch.
:gurl I'm one of the saddest motherfuckers you'll ever meet and I still thought Shinji was a bitch ass motherfucker.
Evangelion's central theme = dont fap. If shinji never fapped that fap, none of that crap would have happened:leon interest in evangelion rising

Jesus christ it bums me out how bad CG Berserk is. Like it bugs me more than animu trash ever should.
man, re:zero just puts the screws to wish fulfillment fanboys. i am actually enjoying watching subaru get soulraped for his rpg hero dreamz.It's rustling fans something fierce, I read the weekly r/anime discussion thread and it has me in tears most weeks.
I think I'm the only person who is enjoying the hell out of Berserk. It's trashy adaptation, but it's super entertaining re-experiencing the manga story at breakneck speed. My only complaint is that halfway through the 12 ep show we're not getting that far. Really wanted to see Trolls, and Millenium Falcon. But we'd need at least 24-36 eps to get there even at this speed.
Yeah it's really ugly, but I have low standards when I like the story/characters. I've watched some ugly as shit anime like Moonlight Mile because the story is engaging. Otoh, I can't watch gorgeous animation that's slice of life because it bores the hell out of me.
Although I have to admit this adaptation is really playing up the perverted stuff (yet no nipples; weird contrast) which is cringe. Ep6 has literally animated vaginal ejaculation yet somewhat censors snake penis. But what I actually get out of Berserk 2016 is that it would fit really well, more than any other anime, on HBO, Starz, or Cinemax. It's a cool story surrounded by sex & violence porn. Perfect for cable USA TV.
Buncha GAF salty that Ash lost the Kalos league even though he's never won a legit league ever.
Kobun Shizuno (Detective Conan: The Darkest Nightmare and other Detective Conan movies, Fist of the North Star: The Legend of Kenshirô, Fist of the North Star: The Legend of Toki) and Hiroyuki Seshita (Ajin, Knights of Sidonia) are directing the film at POLYGON PICTURES. Gen Urobuchi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero, Psycho-Pass) of Nitroplus is credted with the story concept and screenplay.
The film will open next year. TOHO Ad Co., Ltd registered the godzilla-anime.com domain earlier this month.
Let's do som dj plug tonight. And yes, I'll be there this time.
Watched Thunderbolt Fantasy episode 1 aka the puppet show anime. It's fun, and totally ridiculous. I don't mind the puppets too much since the voice acting gets the emotion across, and the action is pretty good. The violence is hilarious with people exploding and stuff.

Same here. I only had a Funimation subscription because they occasionally got shows I wanted to watch that Crunchyroll didn't, don't care about dubs.
The anime series is Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon and will air in November. In it, Ash will receive a Z Ring and meet the Melemele Island Guardian, Tapu Koko. In the series, Ash is going to school and his goal is to graduate "like never before".

Some one mentioned it earlier in the thread but I'm watching the first season of Food Wars and I love it. Such a fun series.

Will it be continued eventually? I watched the first season over the past 4 days. Now I'm on episode 8 of season 2. I haven't binge watched an anime like this in a while.Some one mentioned it earlier in the thread but I'm watching the first season of Food Wars and I love it. Such a fun series.It's awesome! Prepare for disappointment as season two abruptly ends. :'(
KEIJO!! Episode 1: This is the anime series about girls competing in butt-battles with each other, that had such a ridiculous preview video earlier in the year.
SURPRISE- THEY USE THEIR BOOBS, TOO! :o
So the insane premise here is that girls get on top of floating platforms and try to knock each other into the pool...using only their chests and asses. And this is a top national pro sport. :lol
I LOL'd hard on this one- because it totally takes itself completely serious and has long, drawn out sports-battles. Good animation/detail (lawl) too. The tits and ass essentially become fists and they do all kinds of special moves to each other. This is what made me crack the hell up laughing. It's also not as perverted as you might think. I mean, don't get me wrong-- it's TITS AND ASSES FLYING IN YOUR FACE, but the focus is on fighting so it's just over the top insanity.
Watch this for a good laugh at the absurdity of it all.Some one mentioned it earlier in the thread but I'm watching the first season of Food Wars and I love it. Such a fun series.

Finally got around to watching the Little Witch Academia 2 movie I got through kickstarter. Was just ok. I think 50 mins was kind of stretching it, so while the first one was a fun like 30 min short this was a bit dull for the first half. The second half with the parade had a lot of nice animation and was enjoyable but never really felt exciting and lacked momentum. The original was very ghibli-esque, whereas this one doesn't feel that it captures that right note. It was still fine, and I think kids would really like it, but it didn't do much for me /shrug. Otoh the making of feature was kind of neat on the BD.
It's awesome! Prepare for disappointment as season two abruptly ends. :'(
I binge watched The Big O and loved it. Not sure how I feel about the ending, but it doesn't bring down the rest of the show for me.
Only episode I don't like was the 14th, honestly. Too screwy too early. The show would have benefitted from not having it.
Isn't Big O by the same crew that did the Giant Robo anime?
I first watched Big O back in the day when it was on Toonami. :obama

I call bunk on this study. I was wondering where they were getting their stats from, then I realized that their top artists list, listed as books (Power Play!, Cute Devil Girlfriend, Naughty Boobs, Love Hair, and Vagina Manifesto) are all Project-H publications. This means that these aren't stats reflective of a wider variety of things searched for on the internet, nor are the reflective of which country views the most hentai or which types of genres are most popular. These are likely just internal stats Project-H collects for where they ship their own books to. Keep in mind that they have a very limited selection, and from what I can see... mostly older, or less popular artists that fill their catalog (compared to what you would see on a site like Fakku, for example). The only thing these stats reflect is what Project-H has to offer, and it's not a lot.

What's that anime supposed to be? the outline means fuck all to me
I'm really behind on Ghibli, so finally just watched Up on Poppy Hill. Was nice. The period piece school stuff and daily Yokohama 1963 life was interesting, fun and well done. Reminded me of Summer Wars a bit in a good way.

But you know...Japan.
Today, how you feel about panty shots can determine how you feel about anime as a whole. And it’s not just panty shots. In the blockbuster anime Food Wars, women’s clothes burst off their bodies when they taste an exquisite bite of steak. Skirts often don’t cover the bottom halves of women’s butts in Prison School. Breasts are regularly the first body part to enter a shot in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?. In the West, the practice of lacing gratuitous sexuality—and especially female sexuality—into an anime is known as “fan service.” Love it or hate it, anime studios have made a conscious effort to feature “fan service” in most of this year’s Western-subbed anime titles.
I would like to get a feminist opinion on Kiss Him, Not Me where a fat otaku girl gets depressed because her favorite character dies in an anime and she doesn't eat for a week, and then she turns super thin and hot and all the bishies at school fall in love with her, but she just wants to ship them together.
Boobs will quickly be displaced by the manliest of drills.

I've been watching Flip Flappers. It's a weird Magical Girl thing with alternate dimensions and one episode is a riff on Fist of the North Star and another one is all Super Sentai mechas. It's pretty good.

The latest episode of Iron Blooded Orphans has one of the greatest mech fights ever in any Gundam show.

Now I'm wracking my brain to think if there are any animes with harem elements that I've actually liked.
I guess Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works counts, but it was always clear that Rin was his one and only.
Code Geass probably counts.
And of course I maxed out every female S-Link in Persona 4. My character was a complete scumbag.

I tried to watch Stand Alone Complex: The Laughing Man. I was told it was better than the 1995 movie, but I got about 20 minutes in and called it a day.
Kodansha and Production I.G announced on Friday that a new anime based on Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell manga has been green-lit. Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) and Shinji Aramaki (Appleseed) are co-directing the anime. The format and release date have not yet been announced.
Finished playing through Cross Ange's plot in Super Robot Wars V. Never seen the show, but seemed alright in the game. Gonna check out the last 2-3 eps to see the final battles. I read the wiki and the plot sounds...pretty different from how it went down in SRW V.

Have you ever though to yourself "Queen's Blade was pretty good, but it had too much plot and character development getting in the way of my appreciation of big-titty anime babes"? Well, fortunately for you, Japan has heard your thoughts:

Seven Mortal Sins is a big-titty anime babe delivery vehicle that has been specially designed to be as streamlined and efficient as possible, offering one big-titty anime babe per 0.35 seconds, well above the national average. There's also lots of aggressive yuri content and a total absence of Y chromosomes, if that's something you're into.
Oh, it's also highly blasphemous.

Saw that the second season is starting so I went to Crunchyroll to finish up the first season, but they don't it anymore. :fbm

It's a classic. I wish it was on YouTube so we could stream it, but I don't think it is.
All caught up on Academia and now I need a new show to watch. :(
Can someone recommend me another mostly lighthearted shounen type of show?
Dragon Ball Super.
The Seven Deadly Sins (Netflix).

But have you watched Tiger Mask W?Lol this looks terrible.
When is the second season on?

I started reading the My Hero Academia manga because I got too impatient waiting for new episodes. Fuck, it's so damn good.I'm trying so hard not to do this, but the weekly wait is painful.
Seasons 3 and 4 of the anime are going to be lit af.
Maybe wait for this season to end, but if you get impatient waiting a year for season 3, the manga is an amazing read.

So that Blame! movie is out on netflix haven't watched it yet but as someone who loves Tsutomu Nihei but hates CGI anime I still loved Sidonia No Kishi so I'll probably fuck with this too.

So I've mostly just watched some original anime movies, but I wanna try some shows. I know many of the "big titles" that everyone should watch but I don't know where to begin. No high school trash, gimme that dark shit instead. Or just anything good. Nothing long either, I can't handle a billion episodes since it's too hard to pay attention. 15 eps or below should be good. Need recommendations - pls halp. ;-;
planetes whew great show
25 or less would be fine, it doesn't matter as long as it's fast paced and I enjoy it~
Gonna start with Cowboy Bebpo but I probably need another one as well. Heard a lot of good things about Paranoia Agent (plus I'm a sucker for Satoshi's movies), so I'll start with those two.
I'd add The Irresponsible Captain Tylor (26 episode TV series + 10 OVAs) to the list. It's a fun, more light-hearted show about a lazy idiot who becomes captain of a space ship during a war with an alien race. Dunno how easy it is to find though.So my list right now is Cowboy Bebpo, FLCL and Paranoia Agent.
Scrap Gunsmith Cats from that list. It's "meh." (But the manga version is great) Watch the true classic, Riding Bean, which it came from, instead. :pimp
If you like Cowboy Bebop a lot, definitely watch Samurai Champloo after that. It's from the same people.
Watched the first season of attack on titan.
Meh. The core mystery is okay but the plotting is kind of obnoxious and the self serious tone it has with characters constantly monologuing is grating.
I'll watch another season to see if it keeps moving but if this extends into a crazy number of episodes, I'm out.
Probably. No idea what the best places for older stuff are, but I'm sure someone here can point the way.I'd add The Irresponsible Captain Tylor (26 episode TV series + 10 OVAs) to the list.

Also scrub question: Where is the best place to download animu? Is XDCC still superior? I need to be careful since torrenting anime in Japan is pretty risky, so DLL would be my best option.

Last year, Hideaki Anno’s Studio Khara sued Gainax of Evangelion fame for unpaid royalities. A Tokyo District court has ruled in Anno’s favor, with a judge ordering Gainax to pay the full 100 million yen (around US$900,000).
As previously reported, Gainax is contractually bound to pay royalties to Khara for projects Anno worked on, but Gainax owned a large amount in back payments. Moreover, Khara made a special loan to Gainax for 100 million yen ($898,796) in August 2014 and is now suing to get the unpaid amount back.

I guess it's all fair really. And I mean quite a bit of the talent transitioned to Khara. The pity is that Khara isn't doing much with all this... not even New Movie Evangelion 4 :doge .
Also you're either the type that "gets" E7 or you're going to fucking hate it. There's no middle ground with that show. :lolHow can people hate E7? That shit is fuckin awesome.

I swear animu can be so fucking unsatisfying at times...
fucking 62 episodes and still zero romantic development between kenshin and kaoru :goty
only at the very end of this manga do they get married and have a kid, but that also is weirdly unsatisfying
there's no romantic affection show, basically
i mean what the fuck is up with that!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH JAPAN
hajime no ippo does the same shit
what's that girl's name, kumi? her and ippo still haven't kissed afaik
HOLY SHIT HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
this is why it was so satisfying to watch his and her circumstances, the romantic stuff developed normally, kissing ensued, etc
i guess i should watch that again
but yeah romantic shit in anime/manga is fucked up
the vast majority is animu romance is badly done romance where everything feels really weird and shit
i dunno

15 years ago I watched Cowboy Bebop and thought it was one of the best things I'd ever seen in any medium. When I asked people what other anime I should watch at the time, a lot of people suggested Outlaw Star. I watched about 7 episodes and thought: "This ain't no Cowboy Bebop" and stopped.
Goku Black arc >>>>>> Universe 6 arc so far.
Universe 6 arc felt stakeless and more like "your favorite characters are back and hanging out again" type of revival stuff, which is cool. But Goku Black arc actually addresses how shit changed, has some character development, shit happens, etc.
Not quite up to the highs of DB or DBZ yet, but it's good on it's own. Definitely better than GT and I'm glad it exists just to wash away whatever that trash was.
I know Toriyama wasn't involved with GT and it isn't really canon, but fuck that show anyway.

Also, I watched Laputa last night and it was super good. Not that I had heard that it wasn't, it just doesn't seem to get as many mentions as Nausica or Totoro.

I've only been following Dragonball Super and MHA. Feels like I need a nice, short anime series to watch.
I don't want to start that Satoshi Kon show just yet, so what else do you guy have to recommend?
I'm still enjoying Little Witch Academia except for getting this ever increasing feeling that I'm never going to meet another person who watched it
Huh. Never took you for a pedo.

Interested in Inuyash...
...iki.
Inuyashiki is about an old man who gets turned into an old man robot by aliens [or something], if that's not something you can get excited about then GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS THREAD.
Was there a point to Inuyashi? I would watch an episode from time to time when it was on Adult Swim, and I swear nothing ever happened in any of the episodes I watched.

And a SAO3 and a GGO spinoff anime are coming. The SAO movie was good.
Food Wars S3, started today.
Psycho-Pass was $5 on iTunes, so I bought it rather than rent the anime from the local Blockbuster analog. Yes, Japan still has rental places. Sadly, the iTunes version is English only, and a little hammy, but the big problem for me so far is the anglicized pronunciation of character names.
Annoying. Time to hunt these down. And the Psycho Pass movie.Food Wars S3, started today.
Started watching it and was wondering where some of the footage from prior to the season came from. Went back and checked and confirmed that I saw all of S2. Turns out there were four OVAs released in the interim. I hate how all these streaming services never pick up the OVAs. :-\
Black Clover has one of the worst directed voice acting performances of all time (in fact i'm struggling to think of worse) I urge all of you to watch episode one for as long as you can bare it so you can forever have ammo to mock this garbage
I think when it departs from the manga, it's starts to get weak, but only because the manga exists. I think the original does the first parts of the manga really good, especially the dogchild chimera :mjcry

This season I'm watching Kino's Journey [so far not nearly as good as the first anime series from the 00's, but it's still okay], The Ancient Magus' Bride, Girls Last Tour, Blend-S, Konohana Kitan, and Two Car. Still haven't started, but intend to star, Garo: Vanishing Line, Inuyashiki, and Blood Blockade Battlefront season 2.
I probably won't post here too much about modern stuff, I don't watch nearly as much anime as I used to so I mostly hunt down older classics and childhood memories.
Is it bad if I actually enjoyed Neo-Yokio?
Yes, and you should feel bad.You don't deserve a big Toblerone

How's Inuyashiki so far?
Saw a gif of that show that made it look like it's trying way too hard. Might be a fun watch if it totally shits the bed like that Mayoiga show last year.
There seems to a distinct lack of dragonball super chat in here

I wouldnt call Hunter x Hunter a deconstruction, it's pretty much the ideal shounen though, it's power creep issues arent that bad, the chars are interesting, the world is amazing, the stories are fun, the villains are complex and relatable.
I know it's published in shonen mag and it's genre is definitely shounen, but when you have two dudes jerking off another guy in the shower and all the other adult shit it pulls off it almost feels like it's cheating saying it's for younger teens. I would put HnI in my top 3 - 5 shounens the slow as molasses stuff pre - during and after Woli (fuck Woli) and this recent storyline is pissing me off so much that I knocked it down a few places though.
and it's genre is definitely shounen

lol who cares?
It was supposed to be. :yeshrug It was a good meditation on identity in the digital era. Sort of like a watered-down, less wordy GITS.
If you want shclock and action, SAO is that way. :ufup
I still don't really get the hate for SAO when theres so much other trash out there. I guess it helps that I rarely watch modern anime that tropey bullshit didn't really affect me.It's mostly in response to its immense popularity. SAO is a pretty mediocre harem power fantasy with lots of fanservice and lots of bland characters, but a lot of people loved it. I prefer Log Horizon, though, and not because it hewed closer to MMORPG mechanics.

was that crunchyroll hack a real thing
I wanted to watch some anime last night, noped out half-way through the first episode of ID-0 because that shit looked wack af. Went to Crunchroll to see what was what, everything looked :zzz but then I saw that Armitage III was on there so I just watched Armitage III.

It's the third movie in a series based on books by a famous Japanese scifi author. The other two movies [Harmony and Empire of Corpses] were apparently kinda meh, but this is one looks pretty good [and Shukou Murase is a talented guy].
Does Cromartie High School get better? 4 episodes in and it's mostly just dumb to me.
+1 recommendation for SB Yamato

watched two eps, didn't find it compelling but not as intolerable as most modern animes

If anything there's too many shows to keep up with and I'm behind on a few.

I'm behind on Zodiac War and Magus Bride. Three of the shows I've listed on are Anime Strike and not everyone may have that but there's always piracy.
Next season has Devilman, so I'm sure people will talk about that.
I am watching a Japanese show about a male salesman who was a engineer but his sweets obsession made him take an easier job so he can indulge on sweets and foodgasm on screen I'm like you are not a cute anime girl... :wagspoiler (click to show/hide)But I'm entertained.[close]

Anything from this season or last season that I should be watching? Gundam Seed has been fun so far, but I'll have nothing else to watch once I'm done except more Gundam.

I'm sick and tired of vapid entertainment, from The Last Jedi to....whatever. So I'm rewatching LOGH.
Haven't watched non-DragonBall Super anime in a long, long time. I quit anime in like 2014 I think. I have no idea what's good. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter. The kind of anime I like isn't made anymore aside from stand outs like Yamato 2199. I'm fine with that. I'm an anime connoisseur. No need for anything new.
Casshern Sins is "classic"? Damn I'm old.
Oh yeah, Food Wars is the only current show that I watch every week. Is there anywhere that I can watch the spring elections or whatever the fuck the episodes are called that crunchyroll doesn't have?
I guess I'll binge DB Super before ArcSys game comes out.
https://youtu.be/GwTn5CKubN8
:rejoice
LOGH is still amazing. I haven't seen it in like 10 years so I'm really happy with it. Actually, I'm more than happy. Now that I have more life experience I'm actually enjoying it even more, which rarely happens with anime.
Such a classic.

I wanna at least watch Girl's Last Tour, Land of the Lustrous, and Made in Abyss and then we'll see where it goes from there. Any other must-watch shows on Anime Strike?

Go watch Pop Team Epic, some of these parodies are amazing :lol
there's a new kino's journey? what the fuck
The only bad thing about Devilman: crybaby is that it's only 10 episodes. Good stuff, I really want to check out the source material and other spin-offs now.
Great soundtrack too.
https://twitter.com/RisenLazarus/status/943953353821868032
devilman was lame
Not my fault Yuasa is a mediocre director :trumps
Yamato 2199 was great. It had its moments with wacky jappy uguu fanservice and the occasional maid outfit spliced with a very annoying comedic relief doctor but for most part the characters acted like human beings. Great anime. Lupin III: Fujiko Mine was also excellent.
I looked at Casshern Sins on google image search and the imagery looks like the kind of thing I'm trying to avoid tbh. I'll watch a trailer on youtube.
Might have to see what good anime films have been made the past few years I've been out of the loop to see if anything worth any salt has been made. Haven't seen that Ghibli movie with the sumi-e art. Need to check that.
I'd probably go Tatami Galaxy > Kemonozume > Night is short, Walk on Girl > Devilman Crybaby > Mind Game > Kaiba for the stuff I've seen that Yuasa's directed. Still need to finish Ping Pong and watch Lu over the Wall. Kaiba's gorgeous but I fell asleep every ep because it was so boring. I don't even remember if I finished it.
I wish Devilman Crybaby was something I could like more than I do. But I really can not take the fucking high school prodigies and innocent high school love interests anymore. Or some dumb conflict about how one's friend is better at sports. I've recently noticed that I now perceive animes I've watched back in the day much worse, now that I started to notice that they are all brimful with the tritest high school tropes.
Thank god Cowboy Bebop was completely free of that shit. :rejoice forever the GOAT.

What is good modern non super power related animu that is LOGH/Bebop/SAC/Gank like. As in (for the most part) takes itself seriously, is well directed, and good.
I might just rewatch Kaiba and Kemonozume or something after LOGH rewatch.

How much of Devilman: Crybaby did you guys even watch if this is the way you guys describe the anime...
Blood Blockade Battlefront looks like your average edgy anime.
I lasted longer watching Devilman Crybaby until a bunch of dudes started rapping on a ship port and then turned it off. I have zero toleration for anime bs with the high school setting and super talented athletes and random sex hijinks and messed up characters with weird ticks who randomly cries at things. "Anime is trash" seems to continue to prove to be true. Continuing LOGH rewatch.
Fuck, I need me a Gundam. Gundam is always grounded and takes itself seriously. Forever reliable, ol' Gundam. I'm skipping all of this and just watching Blood Orphans and Origin tbh.

I love Gundam but :lol
At least IBO is grounded and should fit your expectations outside a few weaker arcs in the middle. IBO is a great show.
Space Dandy sucked it's true.Great animation though.
I only made it like 2-3 eps into Space Dandy.
Space Dandy is basically an anthology show, doesn't each episode have a different director or something? There are definitely some pretty dull episodes but the highs are really, really good. Episode 9 on the plant planet is one of my favorite episodes of anything ever.

Kaoru is a 17-year-old virgin who has an S&M fetish. He has always dreamt about an SM relationship with his childhood friend Nana, who is looked upon as perfect and is always the target of boys' eyes. Their relationship has somewhat deteriorated through the years, due to them hanging out with different people and because Kaoru is not taking his education too seriously.
One day though, Kaoru's mother gives some of his S&M toys to Nana for safekeeping. Nana finds the leather one-piece that Kaoru bought and tries it on but accidentally locks herself in it and doesn't have the key!
Kaoru frees her of the one-piece, but then Nana realizes she may like Kaoru's hobby more than she thought. Subsequently, the two of them start engaging in so-called "breathers." These breathers are intended to relieve Nana of stress that originates from her attempts at keeping her grades and name perfect.

It is pretty bad, but then again it's anime so that's expected.
He said it was the worst thing he's ever seen, which I find hard to believe.
You said anime is expected to be bad, which I guess is a fair opinion but there's good & bad just like any medium. I watch like 2 things anime a year and they are usually good because I only watch things that have been highly recommended. I don't expect that all anime is good from my limited experience.
I think you have to approach Devilman with an ironic mindset. It's not high art in the least but its goodness (violence, sex, ridiculous story) and badness (animation, VA, script, etc.) blend together to make it more than the sum of its parts.
Any word on the new Mazinger movie? Any way for someone in the states to watch?
I actually never watched Escaflowne :lol
Um, Planet of Monsters was fucking great.
Um, Planet of Monsters was fucking great.
Man, I just don't see it. What did you like about it? It's so ugly and who cares about any of these characters and Godzilla looks like crap. Feels like the exact opposite of Devilman Crybaby for instance which is gorgeous looking and stylishly directed.
Meanwhile in Darling in the FRANXX, doggy-style mecha piloting and ass handles. What is Lum’s secret technique for drawing out Darling’s latent abilities? Is it pegging? Whatever it is, it’s so good that it kills all her other male co-pilots. :noah

Is this Violet Evergarden show like the oscar-bait of anime?
Gintama has always struck me as something I've been missing in my life. Is the manga just as clever/funny as the anime? Don't have time for 1,0000 eps.
What are the best Prime exclusive shows?
Made in Abyss looks like my grandma's "Precious Moments" figurines come to life in anime form, and I'm not sure if I'm ready to have them maimed and raped in front of my eyes.

Decided to check out this Neon Evangalista shit or whatever. It's pretty cool so far. 4 episodes in.
Have any of you guys seen the various animated Appleseed adaptions?
I read the first manga volume some years ago and liked it, but didn't want to read further because of it being unfinished. Though now I wanna try out the movies or OVAs but don't know where to start. Are they interconnected or is each production another interpretation of the manga? Are they even any good?
Nowhere near as good as the comics. The first OVA from like 89 was OK but a condensed version of part of the story that left a lot out. Then the CG movies that followed years later were just garbage, IMO. I did watch whatever the last movie was (another CG film) and it was at least better than the earlier CG movies, but still forgettable.
Expelled From Paradise was a better CG Appleseed movie than Appleseed was.
Got chills when the pillows came up on the trailer. I think it's time to rewatch the original
That dub though :nope
Wait, two new seasons of FLCL?
My older brother asked me for some beginner Anime recommendations.
He watched One punch man and loved it and watched Kill La Kill and loved it.

I thought internally "Just wait until you get to the Mays-Hughes part". Last night I got a call from him "They killed Mays-Hughes?!!" :brazilcry[close]
Watching Yu Yu Hakusho.
Kuwabara is a better character than the entire cast of Hunter x Hunter. Also watching the english dub. Watched the first episode both in english and japanese. The dub seems more charming.
Whats with the hate for Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans? People seem down on this show.
I'm halfway through season 2 right now and this is by far one of the best Gundam shows.
Good story. Good world building. Good and mostly well developed characters.
It's a good show and since it's passed episode 5 which is pretty much where Code Geass R2 and 00 fell apart(I'd say 00 fell apart at episode 2) I'm not worried the 2nd season will shit the bed.
I know it gets very miserable for the characters, but I never imagined anything would end happily.
And while I'm not too into the music of the show(00, Wing, and so on have good OSts though) the main theme of the show is pretty good. Clearly Sunrise was also pretty happy with it. First two openings are great as well.
Why is there no Tokyo Red Hood anime? Why do they only make shit anime?:holeup

On gaf/era people thought it sucked and was a bad gundam. But the tastes of the anime fans there were always pretty ::)
It's like the people who think the only good gundam is Turn A because it's art.
Now I like Turn A a lot (and Tomino :heartbeat), but the series is boring as fuck episodic for like 50% of its run and only gets really great in the last few eps (and has one of the best endings, but most gundams have really good endings so that's not too surprising).
So I went to a Maaya Sakamoto concert with duckroll in Hong Kong. She sang the Record of Lodoss War OP and holy shit that took me back. Such a good song & OAV.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aUfGClzhdI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC0IHmBdtWA
She also sang the Escaflowne OP which was kinda neat since it was her first song (and role as Hitomi) when she was 16. She's 38 now, time sure flies by.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbhcChdCAUk
And of course sang Rahxephon OP cause it rocks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t1_35xiub4
Only song she didn't play that I'm a big fan of is Wolf's Rain ED Gravity. That's like my go to anime song to sing at Karaoke places ;)
Devilman Crybaby was a trip. Awesome show. Himu's post earlier in this thread hating on the rapping of all things is ridiculous.
I quite liked Evangelion back in the day but at this point, I can't even remember plot points. Just that it was a depressing show and I tend to like those if they are well executed. Maybe that will inspire a rewatch at some future point.
Started watching full metal alchemist which I never watched. For some reason I always had a negative impression of this show. No reason why. I just did so ignored it back when it was super popular.
Watched 5 episodes of Brotherhood and while its fine, I wasn't super invested for whatever reason. Watched the first five episodes of the original and that interested me more. I preferred the slower pacing and better explained world early on. Also the older art style made me nostalgic about that era of animation. I'll watch brotherhood also once I finish the older show which I'm about 15 episodes into.
It seems fine. It's not my favorite anime in the world but its certainly more than watchable.
Aka the Suda 51 curse. We'll see...
Watched the first episode Gundam Build Divers yesterday, feels like it's targeting a much younger demographic than the previous two seasons, which was still aimed at kids. Big mash up of Gundam and a fantasy online RPG/quest type show.I didn't even know this was starting. Thanks for the heads up.
G Reco felt like it should've been a lot better than what it was. By the end of it, I felt it was pretty meh overall. I loved the artstyle and animation though.
Is there anywhere online where I can watch the older Gundams that never aired in the US? I've never seen Turn A, Victory, and a few others.
I got so excited seeing that there was a new Fist of the North Star spinoff and then immediately my hype was deflated when I saw it was awful CG. :-\
Tomino IS a pretty terrible writer nowadays, though. Let's not kid ourselves.
Was pretty much the same way with the new Berserk series. Just awful.
Anyone watch the first episode of the Persona 5 anime? It's uh...fast paced. They covered the first hour in like 23 minutes. It felt like a collection of scenes moreso than a cohesive story.
http://twitter.com/Crunchyroll/status/981170247234236416
Ok, so I watched another couple of eps of G-Reco (through ep10 now) and one thing I think people overlook with Tomino is the guy is fucking funny. He's like this old dude who makes the silliest random slapstick and lols to himself as he draws it and it's totally amazing that it's animated and allowed to be released.
Like there is this constant animal joke theme where mechs will fly by sloths and other animals and G-Self will jump in first person and as it jumps a looney-toons style bird nest will flip over, and then the enemy pilot lands in the swamp and his buddies come to get him and their thrusters are pushing him over into the swamp as these looney toons crocodiles swim around him and he's trying to balance not falling.
Tomino's a big fan of the Animaniacs/Looney Toons-era humor that he grew up with and he puts it everywhere in his modern happy Tomino (post Zeta). You have stuff like the main guy running into a wall, people falling and flailing in all kinds of funny ways, etc...
I think that stuff is great and it's funny seeing the juxtaposition between a serious war show that's told in a goofy silly way. Like you have the heads of state and the holy church head having a serious conversation only to pause and go "this tea is delicious!" :lol Or an army hyping up a cheer only for the commander to butt in and be like STOP CHEERING WTF GO DO YOUR JOB.
Also some of the dialogue is so good. Why Bellri can't launch and the captain asks what he's doing he goes "I'm crying here, it's like I don't have a reason to exist!" (泣いてますよ!存在意義がない!); the over-exaggeration of everything is really funny.
idk, maybe this show isn't good, but I'm laughing my ass off enjoying every ep, so idk! I also really liked ZZ Gundam for its silliness in the first half. I like Tomino's childish old man sense of humor.
But yeah, the action direction is really bad and hard to follow.
Serious space opera with adult characters:

Shokugeki no Souma/Food Wars: San no Sara- Continuation of season 3, picking right up where episode 12 left off. You know what to expect here.
Watched about 6 or 7 episodes of Mob Psycho 100 season 1.
I can't tell if I like it or not which is interesting in and of itself. I mean it definitely feels like its doing something slightly different than other anime but I don't really understand the point of it yet...
I'll comment again after I finish the first season.

Aggretsuko gets a thumbs up from me
People really need to not be sleeping on Megalo Box this season. I mean, we're talking about a post-apocalyptic mech-assisted boxing anime! But if that's not enough, it's just a really well made show with a gritty, down-to-earth look and feel like it came from the early 00s instead of the current anime environment. And it oozes with coolness and confidence, the kind of show made by people who actually know what they're doing and care about craft. I wish there could be more shows like this in a year, but you just gotta appreciate them when they come along.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-XHBUganUs
This is nice and the show is okay too. Makes me want to replay the game or wish there was some story DLC.

Megalobox- Another winner. Seems to be tied to Ashita No Joe somehow but is basically post-apocalyptic boxing the anime.
I love the music in this so far.

https://twitter.com/tsundere_asuka/status/987092615228043264I actually rewtached Evangelion a few weeks ago and you know what? I feel like the first half gets a bad rap. Sure it gets more interesting in the 2nd half, but the first half is full of really good direction, actual humor, really good writing, world and myth building, and good character stuff.
Watched the Blame! movie. Even though it's on netflix, I bought the Blu ray for that best quality and the movie looks really good. Between this and Batman Ninja I'm starting to accept the strange cut frame cgi anime thing. Some parts still looked janky, but on a whole it looked really good and mostly captured the manga's look. Mostly the architecture, mechanical design, and the main character designs. Also the sound in the movie is excellent. Which actually helps convey the look as everything sounds like it has weight and feeling.
I will say I am impressed they made a coherent movie out of BLAME!. I like the manga, but it's pretty much a whatever looks cool type of enterprise. I've always enjoyed the manga's art and atmosphere. I've also always whatevered the story. Nothing here is amazing, but it's competent. It's a typical western drifter helps small village type of story, which works best for Killy. Some of it's attempts at "emotional" stakes are a little lame, but in general ntohing here is obnoxiously bad. It never craps the bed or actually is super confusing which is honestly all I'm looking for when it comes to anime these days. I will say the middle part drags a bit.
As a fan of the manga I will say my disappointments is when it comes to the characters is that the various Safe Guards that appear in the manga look super cool aren't in the movie. Just Sana-Kan who is an important one, but she isn't the most interesting looking safe guard. Also missing is a lot of the body horror that the manga depicts and there's a scene in the movie where it should have been employed that it glosses over. Budget and tech issues probably, but still kind of a disappointment.
Other than that, it was a pretty fun anime movie.

Wish this would say what the actual fucking tweets said. Such lazy reporting goddamn.
I got a notice from Amazon that my pre-order of the 3rd volume was cancelled by the publisher (J-Novel) as well. I was enjoying the series too. Not sure what was supposed to make the reader uncomfortable, maybe whatever it was got lost in translation. Hopefully it will be temporary, because I really do want to continue the series.
Edit: Oh I see, the whole killed 3000 people in a war. It’s a war people die, why does that make people uncomfortable? I figured it was probably an exaggeration anyways. At least that is what it came accross like when I read it.
I like how you can’t understand why anyone would care about thousands of people dying in a war but you expect all of us to feel super-bad for you because you don’t get to read a light novel.
“Oh I see, the whole killed 3000 people in a war. It’s a war people die, why does that make people uncomfortable? I figured it was probably an exaggeration anyways. At least that is what it came accross like when I read it.”
“The light novel’s creator writes under the penname MINE. When the anime was announced, Twitter users pointed to tweets MINE made between 2012 and 2015 with racist and derogatory comments towards China and South Korea.”
Reading is hard, isn’t it?

Calamity of a Zombie Girl- Couldn't get through the first episode. This was so all over the place- starts like a bad horror movie with a nonsensical plot, and then when the titular zombie girl (should be girls- there's two of them) pop up, there's this weird shift and it's trying to be humorous, but is instead just completely fucked up, like an old man getting his brains splattered and then one of the zombie girls gets nekkid and eats his brains. What made me turn it off was when a girl rips a dude's arm off and acts all kawaii-uguu~ about it, but it wasn't funny at all due to the tone being so off.
Probably a good anime for the Bore to watch. :doge

lulz, my friend was asking me yesterday what was the SJW anime on Crunchyroll that had all his alt-right friends outraged on Facebook and I didn't know what he was talking about, but I'll bet it was this
Started exploring some of the Anime on Amazon Prime.
Started The 12 Kingdoms. I read like 3 of the books like 10 years ago. I thought they were fun. Don't remember much about the books but I dig the early 2000s aesthetic.
Also started Rage of Bahamut. We'll see if that's any good. Only one episode in, but it's wonderfully animated.

:hhh :nope :ufup :trash :kobeyuck
That kind of tone? From western studios? Can you name many western animation examples with a serious tone that aren’t also comedies (bojack for example)?
Batman TAS is the first thing I think of. Also Real Adventures if Johnny Quest.
So I’m trying to see if there’s a market for the animation I want to make. Batman TAS was a resounding success but Real Adventures iirc, bombed and was cancelled. But that was over 20 years ago. So tough to tell.

Make the market. I know you're looking to do something more serious but you gotta take even something like the recent Castlevania netflix show as a good sign.
I was saying to a buddy recently how I think both western animation and comic books are in a great place right now. I feel like we're just now getting out of "make it look like anime" and have finally arrived at place where its more influenced. The source material being properly digested now. All that and a lot of ppl have gone back to re-appreciate just what disney and stuff like the 40s superman cartoon have done for animation.
I'm rambling, sorry.

"doesn't wear a helmet even after losing an eye / eats soup at home with his visor down"
"uses unwieldy sword that's suboptimal in confined spaces / uses whatever weapons the situation dictates"
"aimless wanderer who's used and abused by the ambitious / single minded focus on xenocide"
"affected by killing Adonis / talks about clubbing children every episode"

Small quibble: the show is legit and obviously bad, but bad in the way that Elfen Lied or Highschool of the Dead were bad (i.e. so bad they're good). Just because the world has gone mad with Kulturkampf shite that doesn't mean we have to sit on imaginary fence posts.

I think if the deals were with funimation proper and not through CR they won't be? Like I know all or a lot of Funi's stuff is on Hulu but I don't think they're gonna go.
So I'm looking for 2 types of recs:
-any other anime fairly similar to Nausicaa, with really unique alien worlds and settings?
-any 80's anime with awesome synth soundtracks? (Rumbler, this is your cue...)
I think if the deals were with funimation proper and not through CR they won't be? Like I know all or a lot of Funi's stuff is on Hulu but I don't think they're gonna go.
Seems like VRV Premium is the way to go then. Gives you Funi's channel directly, and you can link it with Crunchyroll to get premium there too (but not the other way around.) IIRC. It was a while ago they let you do this.

I probably don't like that anime as much as others do but I do love that throwback art look it has. Super Cool. Especially for somebody who grew up on the old stuff. Music is nice too.

Crunchyroll and Adult Swim announced on Thursday that they are partnering with Alcon Entertainment to produce an anime series based on Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to the 1982 Blade Runner film. The series, titled Blade Runner — Black Lotus, will have 13 episodes.
Shinji Aramaki (Ultraman, Appleseed) and Kenji Kamiyama (Ultraman, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex) are directing all the episodes at Sola Digital Arts. Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo) is a creative producer on the series.
However, in early 2004 the girls of t.A.T.u. broke their contract with their manager Ivan Shapovalov, who confessed to basing the act's duo off of child pornography sites. Along with the contract split, the movie ended up being shelved and its website was deleted in 2005.
“So you’re not going to save me?
“No. [beat] But . . . If any more goblins appear, call for me. I’ll kill the goblins for you.”
“Even . . . Even in my dreams?”
“Yeah.”
“You will come?”
“Yeah. Because I’m the Goblin Slayer.”
One of my movie groups I'm in was going to see Mamoru Hosoda's new film "Mirai" in the theater tonight so I made an effort to escape work and see it. I mean hey Girl who Leapt Through Time was pretty good outside that terrible ending and Summer Wars was a ton of fun.
Knew nothing about this, and uhhhhh, this is the most kiddy film I have ever watched as an adult :lol
There are exactly 2 target audiences for this film. 30-something/early 40-something parents & little kids aged 10 and under.
It was alright but as someone not in that target audience it was kinda dull. One of the gals in my group fell asleep lol. Like it has a nice little lesson and the concept of a story about different generations of a FAMILY seen through the eyes of like a 4 year old kid is neat, but the execution is just kinda average. You can definitely tell watching it that the movie was made because Hosoda's a dad with young kids and he wanted to make a movie about being a dad with young kids. There was even a little interview after the movie with Hosoda where he basically said the story is based off him, his kids and his family.
Also the music was strangely disappointing for the type of Ghibli/melodramatic film it is. Not everyone can be Joe Hisaishi or Radwimps I guess.
I guess I'd give it like a B-, but if you're a 30/40 something parent with young kid(s), go see it!
Not sure if anime movies should go in the anime thread so will cross-post this.
Better dump a fuckload of money on animation quality at the very least.
I'm starting Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e; is there an English title? Netflix Japan is not bothering with one.

So finished up the original show and the movie. About 10 episodes into Brotherhood. After having watched one fully and the other a bit more, I can say that I prefer Brotherhood. Original is fun enough and certainly has interesting plot points and characters but it also has a number of flaws.
1.) In the original character constantly have important crucial information they decide not to share with allies for drama reasons. It's very frustrating. One early example is the initial conflict between Ed and Al over Al's nature over whether he is real. The ways its handled in the original doesn't make sense and is strictly done to create a drama episode for no good reason. It's handled in like half an episode in Brotherhood in a more logical and heartfelt manner. This happens alot in the original. Like it became a running joke for me to yell at the screen Tell somebody!
2.) The plotting in the original often doesn't make sense. Like they know where they want to go from Plot Point A to Plot Point B but the path in between often makes no sense or once again seems delayed to create drama sakes. So Instead of being able to enjoy the journey, I was constantly yelling for characters to act more sensibly.
3.) This isn't really a flaw but more a pet peeve of mine. But as I grow older, I'm less interested in a plot mechanic where the bad guys have all the knowledge. And the good guys have no knowledge and therefore seem like idiots bumbling around in the dark for most of the show. This is a pretty common plot device and if everything else is working in a show, I won't gripe about it, but when I have issues with other parts of the show, I start to find this device grating as you feel like you are just waiting for the heroes to catch up to knowledge you have had for like 20 or 30 episodes.
So yeah I think that's about it. I like original FMA but it wouldn't come close to cracking a top ten of anime for me personally. I'll finish up brotherhood at some point and post some thoughts about that.
Baki, Gokudols are up on netflix. :rejoice

The anime should have a second season rather than 3 ep ova. Unless the ova eps are 1 hour long, it's not enough to cover the rest of the story.

The subgenre can be characterized as wish fulfillment, with the person being transported often being a NEET, hikikomori, or gamer. In the new fantasy world, they are able to succeed through use of their comparatively unimportant-in-real-life genre knowledge, or gaming skills through the use of a game interface only they can access.[1][2] Their power can range from tremendous magical abilities surpassing anyone else, as in In Another World With My Smartphone,[1] to relatively weak, as in Re:Zero, where the protagonist does not gain any special power beyond the ability to survive death in a type of temporal loop.[3]
While the protagonist of an isekai work is usually a "chosen hero", the genre was also subverted by Drifters, where the people entering the fantasy world are historical generals and other warriors who are more brutal than the inhabitants of the world themselves,[4] and in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, where the protagonist starts as a bloblike monster with special abilities rather than a human.[5] Some stories involve people being reincarnated as unusual inanimate objects, like a magical onsen.[6]

The "body-building comedy" centers around Hibiki Sakura, a high school girl who loves eating, and Akemi Sōryūin, the beautiful and charismatic student council president who has a muscle fetish.

Dragonball Super: Broly-I want an entire Yamcha movie where he is the hero.
This movie is really two stories in one- the beginning is an adaption of the Dragonball prequel manga story about the Saiyajins before their planet gets blown up. Pretty much all dialogue and plot development here. It retcons some things about their history and basically erases the Bardock OVA's story while bringing some of the story from the original Broly movie into canon.
Once things flash forward to the present, there's not really a whole lot going on here plot-wise. Freeza finds Broly and brings him to earth and then Broly fights Vegeta and Goku...and that's it. It turns into one giant, insanely-long fight. There's some impressive animation in here, but Dragonball fights are usually kind of spastic and all over the place, so if you enjoy that, you'll like this- otherwise you're going to be bored out of your mind. Just not a lot of plot to speak of past the prequel stuff in the beginning, unfortunately.
Spoiler-talk:spoiler (click to show/hide)-I really like humorous slant on Dragonball-hunting- Bulma wants them to make herself look younger...and Freeza wants them so he can make himself look taller. :lol
-What the hell was with the huge lack of characters? So many characters didn't even get a cameo here.
-There's one point in the movie where Goku teleports himself and Vegeta out of the fight to go talk to Piccolo. They leave Bulma behind. WTF LMAO. :lol[close]
Ending spoiler-talk:spoiler (click to show/hide)-Despite how much FIGHT DURRRRRRRRRRRR Broly is, they actually did a pretty good job with beginning to give him a bit of personality. Nice touch ending the movie with him as an ally instead of an enemy.[close]

The new year has only just gotten started, but we've already got two strong contenders for MOST TOXIC ANIME OF 2018!!
First off, there's the hot new isekai series: Rising of the Shield Hero, about a mild-mannered otaku who is sucked into a fantasy world and must fight to save it from an encroaching evil. Unfortunately, he is promptly accused of rape by an evil seductress! Also, it turns out that she only did that to score points with one of the other heroes, a cool hottie. Now, that alone would be enough to nab the trophy in a normal year, but this is 2019, baybee! Since the entire kingdom hates his guts, he is forced to buy a slave girl to be in his party and fight for him. Except that it's okay, because it turns out that he's nice to her and protects her. The hero eventually gets called out for this, but the budding love between a 20-something otaku and his beast-girl slave eventually wins out. Everyone learns a lesson about how slavery actually isn't that bad and also sex-obsessed sloots are not to be trusted.
That's Macross.
Please kill it with fire.
There's only two Macross': SDF and Plus. Maybe II if you're pushing it.
bork, was that you that just got got in the AnimeReset thread for saying that you can’t wait until that bitch (in Shield Hero) gets what’s coming to her? ;)

12 min in and I still don't know whats going on. This is boring and not "mysterious".
So trying to watch JoJo Bizzare adventures and good lord this shit is hard to get through. Is there even any point in forcing my self to watch it all? As far as I know the other series outside of being in the same universe aren't really related, are they?
You JoJo manga readers had me worried about Golden Wind before it started, but I think it's been really great so far.
Is this new Kino no Tabi a remake or continuation?

So just finished watching the first series. Good call there, the second part was much more enjoyable with Jojo being a lot more likeable than Jonathon. Must be one of the only few series I can recall where Nazis play a role as the good guys too.So trying to watch JoJo Bizzare adventures and good lord this shit is hard to get through. Is there even any point in forcing my self to watch it all? As far as I know the other series outside of being in the same universe aren't really related, are they?
Parts 1-6 are all related:
Part 1 is about Jonathan and Dio
Part 2 is Jonathan's grandson, Joseph, fighting vampires (part one leads into this)
Part 3 is Joseph's grandson, Jotaro, and Joseph fighting Dio and introduces stands
Part 4 is about Joseph's bastard son fighting stands created by the weapon Dio had and a serial killer in a small town
Part 5 is about Dio's bastard son (who is also kind of a Joestar for spoiler reasons) in Italy
Part 6 is about Jotaro's daughter, Joleyne, fighting remnants of Dio's followers in jail
If you're on the original and not feeling it, keep going- it's the shortest and ends at like episode 9 IIRC. Part two with young Joseph is where it gets awesome.
Part 7 is where it's unrelated- it kind of starts over with an alternate take on everything with new versions of Zepelli and Johnny Joestar in late 1800s USA taking part in a big cross-country race. Still has stands. Then Part 8 is a completely different take on part 4, IIRC.
New Shinichiro Watanabe anime:
https://youtu.be/CBak9m0bcB0
The earlier press releases kept mentioning places and events that also occurred in the Cowboy Bebop universe. Not that this will be anything like Bebop, but it is pretty cool to see it taking place in the same world.
Watched about 6 or 7 episodes of Mob Psycho 100 season 1.
I can't tell if I like it or not which is interesting in and of itself. I mean it definitely feels like its doing something slightly different than other anime but I don't really understand the point of it yet...
I'll comment again after I finish the first season.
Finished up the first season. By the time it was over I liked it. That writer does an interesting thing where he undercuts the moment which works really well. Instead of how most of these anime's are really a build up of a badass to an ultimate level, he always focuses on the human side which serves to ground the whole thing in a way that most anime often fails at. Same as in one punch man. You can feel the similarities since he does both. He is less interested in just showing a badass versus playing with how it feels to be an actual person in the context of these kind of escapist power fantasies. The final confrontation is wonderfully done.

Second trailer for OPM 2 is out.
Wasn't the first one one of the biggest anime sensations in ages or was that just in the west? Why does this one look so shit in comparison? I get Madhouse might have been already booked for years or had some other problem. But did they have to go with some shitty cheap ass rom-com/issekai show tier animation team?
I don't know if incoherent is what I'd use to describe Utena, because it dosen't really matter. The show's story and themes are quite easy to understand. It's not complex. It's a story about adolesence and becoming realistic about the world, but it's just told in a abstract fantasy story by way of anime magical girl show.https://twitter.com/nozomient/status/1104834312866795520Apparently it makes Eva seem coherent, enjoy!

New season of Ace of Diamond started airing, nice. If the length is going to be the same as last series it'll be interesting to see where they end it since both previous series ended at around the end of regionals, whereas the regionals just started in the manga after 150 chapters.:rejoice
I tried to give the last HxH anime series a chance, but I just can't get over the fact that it looks worse than the original series from the 90s. Not even comparing to the OVAs, just the main series and it still looks worse. Also the scenario planning is a bit different, both from the old anime series and even the manga. At the same time I can't bring myself to bother with the manga because once Togashi's back issues started the drawing in the series starts looking like doodles. At this point I'm just waiting on a new anime series which I read rumours on /a/ might be another reboot.he's over the doodle phase, it was a pretty short phase (in the manga) but like 7 years irl due to his frequent breaks

Fruits Basket 2019 is like the HD remaster of Fruits Basket 2001, in that it's the same show but they updated the textures and fixed some of the bugs.

Watched it also. I know people are going to bitch about the animation and such and I'm not saying they don't have a right to, but that stuff never really bothers me. I can appreciate great animation and I can tolerate less great animation.
The problem for me is that after the initial arc one punch man was never as interesting. I think its a kind of limited (albeit great) premise. I have a hard time understanding how they will be able to make this part of the anime as compelling as the first part was, because the manga sure wasn't.
Still haven't seen One Punch Man.

From what I remember, it was just a bunch of random sketches. Generally focused on guys being pervs.
Sarazanmai is an anime, in part, about the mythological Japanese creature kappa. Kappa are weird turtle things that are believed to steal a mythical organ from people's anuses, and if you think that this isn't front and center in the anime then clearly you underestimate the madness of The Master, Ikuhara-sama. There's also cross-dressing, gay cops, in-door weed farms, and high disturbing transformation sequences.Ikuhara had a new anime and I didn't know about it? I'm getting old.
Also, the ending theme absolutely slaps:

Isn’t it part 3 that’s the best
A lot of hardcore Jojo fans I've run into call it weak compared to parts 2 and 4 where I find myself disagreeing.
Jojo honestly should have ended after part 3, my opinion.
It's the best thing Trigger has made
I heard great things about Part 7 but it comes from the same people who overhyped part 4 but shat on Part 5 so who knows.
GL is better than KLK but KLK is also a great series.
whynotboth.jpg
how do you hate fanservice but love gurren lagann?
KLK into the dumpster. Show is trash and failed the 5 ep test.
klk is great fun
https://vimeo.com/337603771What is it with people pronouncing "primer" as "primmer"? :confused
Jojo part 5 is a lot more fun when you're watching it as a weekly series as opposed to marathoning a bunch of chapters of the manga. I think I read it all in a couple days and it gets suuuuuper repetitive after a while.
I'mma keep it real and say I never could enjoy reading any Jojo. it's why I didn't get into the series till the anime started.
Trigger released a short that's literally called Sex and Violence with Machspeed so it's weird to say they're shoehorning sex in to sell stuff when that's their entire aesthetic
Fanservice actually isn't as big a part of Trigger's stuff as you might think, it's mostly KLK [and Darling in the Franxx and Ninja Slayer to a slightly smaller degree]. When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace, Space Patrol Luluco, Kiznaiver, Gridman, and Little Witch Academia are all pretty light on fanservice in comparison.
Promare [their lastest release], despite being made by the KLK team, doesn't seem like it's going to be too fanservice heavy either.
Grimgar is excellent.
Holy fuck the major looks amazing in that shot.

Anime director Mamoru Oshii announced more details for his new anime series during a press conference on Wednesday. The series is titled Vlad Love, with Oshii credited as creator and chief director, and Junji Nishimura (Ranma ½, You're Under Arrest: The Motion Picture, True Tears) as director. The new anime will be a slapstick comedy centering on a vampire girl named Mai and a high school girl. The anime will premiere in spring 2020, and will run for 12 episodes.
Oshii noted that the anime "won't have any handsome men (ikemen)," and its story will solely focus on five young girls. He added that he wanted to "seriously tackle a story centering on a girl-meets-girl concept," and teased that Mai "feels similar to Urusei Yatsura's Lum."

WE GON EAT
Thought Oshii gave up on anime, and deservedly? Why is he back after retiring from the medium? Most curious. He has very been open about his disdain for the industry and has stuck with live action to my knowledge.
Oshii is probably the first film maker I can think of when asked,"why is he getting back in the anime game?" "money" is a reasonable answer lmao. Because there's no money in anime lmao
But Oshii the god will get stacks I'm sure :bow

Can you guys explain why you care about harmony gold? It's not stopping tatsu making macross afaik
I buy manga/anime for jpn anyway. Never really fucked with dubs and subs are easy enough to get, I've always felt icky about giving western licencing companies any money since they mostly just add shit into the bag.

And no, from what I've seen Macross is not available in subbed form physically in America anymore?
detroit metal city?
You sure took that statement to a weird place.
Edit: I know the history, you are free of harmony gold unless you want to buy Robotech specifically or want dubs, in that case o7 you're fucked.
I saw that Tweet before, but it still seems like if HG died then a lot of the problems would go away and the rest would eventually get resolved with whoever decided to go after the licence.
I don't even hate Robotech. Like a lot of folks I grew up with it but it's insane that we can't have them both at this point. Especially since the brand is relatively dead like GR said. Everyone that really cares at this point is well into their 30s and fully up to speed on the franchise' roots/history and HG fuckery.
There was actually a great tweet when this news hit that was like "There are ppl in their 30s who prefer Robotech over Macross and even they fucking hate Harmony Gold too"
You sure took that statement to a weird place.
Edit: I know the history, you are free of harmony gold unless you want to buy Robotech specifically or want dubs, in that case o7 you're fucked.
IIRC none of the installments since plus, (7, Zero, F, Delta) were released with subs on the JP dvds or blurays.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw7jrQQK3Mc&feature=youtu.beThis looks amazing! I assumed it would end up looking like one of the many 3D TV animes that have come out in recent years with their awkward animation, not a full CG movie.

Vampire Hunter D is one of the most famous Japanese horror franchises in the world. Based on a series of light novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi and Yoshitaka Amano, the series has spawned numerous anime and multimedia adaptations that have brought this post-apocalyptic world to life.
At this year's Anime Expo, the first trailer for Gibiate, Amano's next anime, debuted and introduced the world to a new post-apocalyptic, monster-filled landscape. Now, CBR is going to break down everything we know about this upcoming series, which is set to be released in 2020.
In Japan, 2030, the Gibia virus has infected many humans across the globe. Gibia's victims turn into different forms of animal-shaped monsters, with their final form depending on the age, sex and race of the infected. At the same time, two samurai and a ninja from the Edo period of Japanese history time travel to this apocalyptic landscape.
They start to work together with a pair of modern researchers who are trying to find the cure for Gibia. Their journey will not be an easy one, as they will be attacked on every step of the way by the infected Gibia and by outlaws desperate for food.
You should give Astra Lost in Space and Cop Craft a shot, maybe Fire Force. Vinland is the closest to what you're looking for, though, I think.

Jojo Part 5 ending was dope. Definitely up there with parts 2 and 3 for me as the best.
I can see why people were turned off by it, but to me it took the bizarre aspect and ran with it better than most while still maintaining something easy to follow (I didn't think any of it was so hard to comprehend, a bit too into it's details but within context of how weird it all was it worked for me)spoiler (click to show/hide)Lightbulb behind your soul shit was still the weirdest asspull the series had.

I didn’t even know Macross and robotech were the same thing!
Is it heavily changed, or is it just a different title?
Robotech is actually 3 different series put together: Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada. Carl Macek mainly wanted Macross, but there weren't enough episodes for syndication. As for the changes, Part 1 [Macross] is pretty much the same except for some edits here and there [mostly for content, though what was cut eventually got added back for later home video releases]. Parts 2 and 3 [Southern Cross and Mospeada] are changed quite a bit since the story needed to be altered to appear as if they're taking place in the same universe/storyline.
I'm a big fan of Robotech (part 1 of course) but loyalty ultimately comes down to SDF. I wish I could support Macross officially.
We've gotten some good games too, some of which are Robotech related.

Finished FMP. I liked it but still think it gets silly/takes itself too seriously after a certain point. Still good.I like the mix of FUCK EVERYONE IS DYING with silly schoolyard antics, it makes Sousuke so much more endearing and makes his and Chidori's fight for their friends mean more to me
I rewatched FMP and then finished the story with the manga. It goes even further toward ultra-serious silliness later on (original FMP has the best balance) and I could never care about the ultimate threat of the series. I think I would have enjoyed it more back when I first watched it. Parts of it I liked a lot though.
thinking about doing a darker than black rewatch...

Watched the first episode of Hataage! Kemono Michi on Hulu yesterday- it's yet another isekai anime, but with a twist. Instead of being a typical high school student :zzz, the main character is a huge, animal-loving pro wrestler who wants to retire and open a pet shop. He gets summoned to a fantasy world mid-match and proceeds to suplex the princess after she asks him to go kill monsters. :lol Instead of being the typical hero, he resolves to go help out the animals/monsters and is constantly labeled as a pervert for both his love of animals and lack of clothing. It's pretty good stuff.

Cowboy Bebop was their first foray in to this dangerous territory. Cannabis use is especially frowned upon in Japanese society, but the dynamic duo subverted Japanese TV censors. One of Bebop’s later episodes included space hippies passing around a joint, and they showed a clip of this scene at the Saturday panel.
A translator for Watanabe said, “We did just tell the censors this was ordinary tobacco, 'Nothing to worry about,'” followed by riotous laughter from the panel’s audience.
“If you actually watch the episode,” said Sato via the translator, “the drug is never mentioned by name.”
Sato said he was especially inspired by American media’s portrayal of cannabis: “I was really in to Tarantino films. And when you watched other American films, you just saw [cannabis use] as a matter fact. Not something that was despised or approved of.”
Sunday’s panel focused on Samurai Champloo, the wicked swordplay series that featured an episode where a marijuana farm was burned to the ground. All these weed references got people wondering if Watanabe and Sato ever smoked up. When asked by an audience member whether they had sampled Colorado’s legal cannabis products, Watanabe simply replied, “No comment,” to which both men then erupted in chuckles.
"[His films are] stories about a boy and a girl who are always stretching out their hands towards each other … and yet the boy's hand never reaches the girl's crotch."

Finished Carole & Tuesday S1. First TV anime I've watched since Devilman Crybaby/IBO since I'm pretty out of the scene. I liked it. The robo-ai making a music video ep was hilarious and best ep, but the rest was all good and it was nice that it didn't have any of the embarrassing perv stuff in modern anime. Music was a bit all over with some good/fine stuff and some cringy a bit. Definitely Watanabe's 3rd best show after Bebop/Champloo. I sorta enjoyed the boring Kids on the Slope but this was much better and I heard the terrorist one was so bad I didn't even bother watching it. Oh and I tried watching Space Dandy and that was cringe af. So glad Watanabe is kinda back here. Good mix of style and music and Mars.
He get selected because he's the designer's son and he can somehow handle the mech handling for some.. anime reasons.

also the music in this anime kinda sucks :doge maybe one piece has spoiled me
I read the 2011 version is closer to the manga version. But sometimes anime makes improvements. Like there are some moments here and there in early One Piece that I think were slightly better in the anime. :doge
And I also prefer the old anime esthetic. :doge

Okay King is literally cellLooks, maybe a little. Character wise, so much more complex.

Why does the animation sync up so well?lol latching BPM. Think my favorite unexpected pairing of this nature is the BGM from Third Eye Blind's Semi Charmed life combined with the vox from Khia's My Neck, by Back.

probably another 90s anime, yu yu hakusho was better than i thought it would be, especially the art was top notch :whew
Finished watching Kandagawa Jet Girls last night in preparation for the game, which is out today (and am sure is 2020 GOTY). It hit me that this entire show was pretty positive and all about friendship and good sportsmanship. No bad guys or underhanded shit going on or any of that. If they ever think about removing all the tiddy, they could probably reach a lot more of a mainstream audience. But then I guess they'd lose all their fans.This work basically won't be enjoyed for what it is but instead it is the context that decides whether one will hold either one of the opinions.
That said, too much was focused on FURENDO and not enough on the actual racing. It's like after the first couple of episodes, somebody said "fuck it; let's just make it a pervy slice of life show and have them go around town doin' thangs," then someone else went "oh yeah, this is about water combat racing, right? We got one episode left let's have a race!" The gyaru pair show up as finalists for this race, despite never having been shown as racers or even having an ounce of skill.
Unless I missed something, it also irked me that the main character's mama was some famous racer that her partner looked up to, but she never told her she was her daughter at any point. Why? :lol
Definitely spent too much time writing this post about this. :brain

Hello fellow weebs. I finished up Hi Score Girl season 2 this week.
Somewhat weaker than season 1.spoiler (click to show/hide)Can't help but feel bad for the blonde girl. She's obviously the odd one out in the love triangle but oooooh :( . Main boy just never had a thing for her. The pain of unreciprocated love :( . I dug the battle between the two main girls, just a shame that we don't see the blonde again until the very end. And she does the right thing which kinda makes me feel sad for her again. *sigh*. Poor thing.[close]
By the way. I couldn't tell from the fan subs. did she beat Akira when they were dueling in episode 3 (or was it 4)? I wasn't sure if she implies in the last episode that she "won the battle, but lost the war" meaning that she actually took that 3rd round. Not that it matters in the end cause she recognized from that fight how much Akira cared for our main boy character.

And finally finished up Season 3. Really enjoyed it and the whole show overall. Really great anime. Not just a great sports anime but a geat anime overall. Definitely a top 10 show for me and one I recommend. Still have the movie to go which I will eventually get around to .
Got very busy during the tail end of last year so I wasn't able to watch much anime which is why it took me so long to finish Kuroko. Fortunately I have a lot more free time now. Think I'll finish up season 1 of Vinland Saga and Dr Stone while looking for an older anime to also watch through.

Their biggest problem was brain drain. Hideaki Anno left in 2006 and took some people with him, then Hiroyuki Imaishi left in 2011 and took some people with him. The only veterans they have left are Hiroyuki Yamaga [who has a great resume, but hasn't released a project in nearly 20 years] and Shouji Saeki [who helmed their most recent stuff, but has a very mediocre track record]. Their recent stuff has been bad or just not interesting, so they've taken to scamming money out of Hideaki Anno to stay afloat, but with him finally wising up that don't have that to fall back on anymore. Yamaga has claimed that they're working on some big projects, but I don't think anybody believes him.
Oh, and their most recent President, Tomohiro Maki, got outed as a pedo rapist.

In Japan it is perceived as a sign of youthfulness and natural beauty. In 2013 it had become a trend where teenage girls would undergo dental procedures to cap the upper canines.

It's also good at separating the cowards from the True Anime Fans. :whewi really don't watch a lot of anime - only stuff I think is interesting or well done. This one is just fucking hilarious. When they made the doll of the birdmaid, i almost died

The official website for the internationally acclaimed director Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in The Shell)'s highly-anticipated new anime project VLADLOVE is updated today with its first key visual to introduce its three main characters.
VLADLOVE is a 12-episode slapstick comedy series. Oshii serves as the general director and screenplay writer, alongside his Urusei Yatsura mate Junji Nishimura as the director. Kenji Kawai, who has collaborated with Oshii for decades, of course, provides the soundtrack music. It was originally scheduled to be completed by the spring of 2020. Now it is set for the fall of 2020.
Synopsis:
Mitsugu Bamba is a high school girl who finds meaning in donating blood. She frequently visits a blood bank to donate blood, despite being harshly treated by the nurse. One day, she encounters a beautiful girl who looks like she's from overseas at the blood bank. The pale girl looks like she's about to faint any minute, but then, she starts destroying the blood bank. The girl loses consciousness and Mitsugu takes her home...
From MAPPA (Terror in Resonance, Yuri!!! on ICE), Listeners takes place in a world where the entire idea of music vanishes from existence. The story follows Echo Rec (Ayumu Murase), a young teen who comes across μ (Rie Takahashi), a girl who, oddly enough, has an auxiliary port on her body. Together, they’ll work to rock the foundation of society and bring music back to the world.
Tokyo life takes a turn for the spooky in a new trailer for Zashiki-warashi no Tatami-chan ("Tatami-chan, the Guest Room Child"), an upcoming horror gag comedy mini-anime from the manga author of Hi Score Girl which features a sharp-tongued spirit experiencing life in the big city.
The story of Zashiki-warashi no Tatami-chan follows Tatami-chan, a household deity from Tono City in Iwate Prefecture, who moves to the big city of Tokyo. However, Tatami-chan uses up all of her limited funds to rent a rundown apartment that doesn't have gas, water, or electricity, so she's forced to take on human and yokai roommates and to look for a part-time job.
So uh...Akira makes no fucking sense right? :what
I dunno, people always talk about it being confusing or hard to follow, but I've never really thought that? Ultimately, there are three major groups of characters: the Colonel and the weird old psychic kids, the lady that Kaneda is kinda in love with and her terrorist friends who are trying to help the one old kid get away from the government, and the biker gang that Tetsuo and Kaneda belong to [although only those two are really that important]. The conflict between the former two drags in the biker gang, owing to Tetsuo having latent psychic powers, as well. Tetsuo's powers eventually go out of control because they're too strong, and because he resists being controlled by the others. Then everything really goes crazy when Akira, the big bad psychic man, gets woken up. But he's mostly cool with just undoing the damage that's been done and then taking Tetsuo off to another plane of existence where he can't cause anymore harm.
Oh is that what happened? Because all it seemed like to me was 3 new characters every 15 minutes and really aggressive and confusing editing and this dude goes from a crying bitch on the street to like....seeing teddy bear mechs and then he's in space for a sec and why does he have a cape all of the sudden and then he's half cyborg and then he erupts like Clayface and squishes someone to death on accident and then he becomes a planet?
Read the manga. It feels bleaker. The cgi movie they did is fun.
SAC is a good show.

It's definitely not as over-the-top as the OP, but is somewhat less hard-boiled police drama than it is burnt-out cop dealing with his new partner who is an elf from another dimension.

Have an extremely strong urge to check out Code Geass for the first time. I have scattered memories of the dub back in the day, so know the general setup and characters, but almost zero of the plot. I know it's full of cheese and WTF but I kinda need that right now. They don't make anime like they used to in the mid-2000s.The latter parts of the second season and the first season once it gets going had me on the edge of my seat like no anime before it lol
Either Geass first time or I rewatch Scryed second time :yeshrug

Code Geass is the 1% of animes where the Dub is just as good as the Sub so go ahead with the Dub
Finished Your Lie in April.
What the hell, no need to delay and go straight to typing in spoilers codespoiler (click to show/hide)That last episode man. I'm spent. First, the performance. It's a beautiful piece in and of itself. Then the mirage of blonde girl shows up to add to the piece with the violin. It's something as a viewer you longed for and our characters longed for, but have not been able to see through due to "animu sickness" that the blonde girl is suffering from. The strength of their bond is so strong that its as if she's with him. And then, she stops.
She stands and looks to our main guy. He hopes that mirage continues playing, but it does not and as he finishes off the piece it disappears in a stunning, brilliant looking way. And this whole performance is beautifully animated. A huge highlight of the entire show. It's something else, really. However, you just want to know that this isn't the end. That the boy and girl will meet again. All the boy says while sitting at the piano after the conclusion of the performance is "goodbye". And I knew, I knew what that meant. Last episode. Who am I kidding. Everything I just witnessed during that performance tells me what I need to know. It's true. She's gone. I accepted it. It's sad, but I was prepared. Or so I thought.
As the boy leaves the cemetery he's given a note from the girl's parents. He starts to read it and as the visuals are presented and he reads aloud the words I start balling. I can't hold back the tears at all. What we've experienced with these characters and all that lead up to this. The the idea of being heard and not being forgotten. To do something memorable for someone that they will always remember you. I mean she was I don't know, 15 or whatever age middle school concludes in Japan. People's lives go on. Are they going to hold onto a memory of someone as they go into high school, into college, into marriage. Was your life just a moment that will be forgotten by all? You weren't able to record anything to a record. Your career as a musician halted immediately. Any potential is gone for you to being able to continue and leave your mark. So all you have is the hope that hopefully somehow you did enough that someone will hold onto your memory and you won't be lost to time before completely fading away as if you never were.
It's sad and terrifying. Too young. Too young to be met with this fate.
I balled again during the credits.
I'm still having the odd strand of tears that I'm holding back now. I'm done. It's been a long time since an anime ran over me like a train.[close]
So that was something. Gonna log off for a few days. You all have a good one. Peace

What new anime shows are worth checking out for Spring 2020? Just re-subbed to Funimation, but not sure if I'm gonna keep it since it didn't look like there was much on there that's not already on Crunchy Roll.
SAO being garbage is controversial somehow?
I don't like .hack either.
I don't get the hate for SAO. It's just every modern anime trope rolled into one. You made it. This is your fault. You built this industry. Put the fairy sister waifu in a cage and all of a sudden niccas are saying it's too much. Cowards. Cowards.

The initial DB Super episodes were dumb, and then then stuff based on the movies was kind of bad animation-wise. I think they may have cleaned some things up for the BD releases.
I stopped after a few episodes, waited for the stuff covered in the movies to finish, then started watching. I don't think there's much of anything that makes watching the same stories get stretched out in episode format worth bothering with, so IMO I'd just watch the movies, jump onto the arc that starts after them (I think it's universe six?), then watch the Broly movie.

I don't think there's much of anything that makes watching the same stories get stretched out in episode format worth bothering with, so IMO I'd just watch the movies, jump onto the arc that starts after them (I think it's universe six?), then watch the Broly movie.
Watched a bit of Super before reading your post, you weren't kidding about bad animation. I guess 20 years since the end of DBZ the hype must have been kind of dead and their budget small. I still always find it surprising at how remakes or new series of famous franchises like this or HxH can end up looking worse than shit released 20 years ago.
Anyway despite that I've enjoyed the series so far, but I think I'll take your advice and go the movie route. The whole super sayan god shit seemed like it's gonna end up being a pretty dumb arc to be worth putting all the hours into the show. Still smirking at how an unborn baby made Videl hair turn blonde though.

It's...okay. Doesn't hold a candle to the rest of the franchise, but it's definitely not bad at all.

Rewatched Ninja Scroll last night. It's a shame the series sucked because the movie is basically the greatest action anime of all time.
That looks like an absolute classic. Thanks toku!
Nvm, the 3rd season is on amazon prime. I'll blow through that sometime this week. :hyper
I'm guessing I won't find the OVAs or movies on any streaming sites.

Someone needs to be punished for SAC 2045's OP. It's a mess of musical tone and visuals.

First episode was just okay. A bit too much infodump going on and the cast is split up, so it's going to take a bit to really get rolling.

Shield Hero is more interesting than I expected. I've never watched an isekai before, but the setup in the first ep hooked me. I'm 9 episodes in.Don't read the light novel, they had me in the first half not gonna lie but it becomes super trash later. Good news is the anime likely never gets to the serious super trash even if they have a couple more seasons.

The daughters of Sesshomaru and Inuyasha set out on a journey transcending time!
In Feudal Japan, Half-Demon twins Towa and Setsuna are separated from each other during a forest fire. While desperately searching for her younger sister, Towa wanders into a mysterious tunnel that sends her into present-day Japan, where she is found and raised by Kagome Higurashi’s brother, Sota, and his family.
Ten years later, the tunnel that connects the two eras has reopened, allowing Towa to be reunited with Setsuna, who is now a Demon Slayer working for Kohaku. But to Towa’s shock, Setsuna appears to have lost all memories of her older sister.
Joined by Moroha, the daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome, the three young women travel between the two eras on an adventure to regain their missing past.
It's an original series, but it's got most of the crew returning from the Inuyasha series [and Rumiko Takahashi did the character designs].

An Isekai where a male character turns into Motoko Kusanagi? :mindblown
In 2014, Akira Natsume seems to almost have a phobia of electrical devices while also being very good at diagnosing them. He resolves to change himself for the better and get a girlfriend like his older brother did. But then, Akira suddenly dies in an accident. 16 years later a special policewoman and her android partner retrieve and activate a highly advanced AI and superweapon called EX-ARM and put it into full control of their ship as a last resort. Turns out the AI is actually just Akira's brain!

also Dorohedoro is dope and Noi could be the wifey unless something changes after the first 5 episodes

thought it was kind of weird to have a full blown nude scene in an anime based on an arcade fighter targeted to at best teenagers
Weirdly it's rated PG 13 despite multiple f-bombs and the shower scene.
Idk I watched the version on tubi.tv, said it was PG 13, but it's the American dub with all violence, nudity, and language uncensored.
isnt the rumor that everyone was on insane amounts of cocaine during the sf live action movie theres definitely a manic charm to a lot of it
At the time he was struggling with a pretty serious cocaine addiction, snorting an estimated $10,000 worth of coke a week, and it allegedly made filming a nightmare.
"I couldn’t talk about it at the time, but I can now: Jean-Claude was coked out of his mind," de Souza told the Guardian. "The studio had hired a wrangler to take care of him, but unfortunately the wrangler himself was a bad influence. Jean-Claude was calling in sick so much I had to keep looking through the script to find something else to film; I couldn’t just sit around for hours waiting for him. On two occasions, the producers allowed him to go to Hong Kong, and both occasions he came back late—on Mondays he just wasn’t there at all.”
The rest of the actors recall a frustrating and bemusing experience. “He had the presidential suite at the hotel, with a gym put into his room,” recalls Seth. “Sometimes he wouldn’t turn up on set – the message would come through from him saying: ‘I have to pump up my muscles!’ and that was that.”
“It was extremely profitable for the studio – it cost $33m and made $105m, so it was good for everybody. People say it’s so dimwitted it’s funny, but we knew it was funny.
“How can you see that movie and think it’s funny by accident?”
The Dead Or Alive movie is fun though. It has that 90's bad videogame movie energy I enjoy.
You also get to see Kevin Nash act like he's Jamie Pressly's dad.
Plus it includes both Robin Shou (Liu Kang from MK) andRyu from Street Fighter's live action movieturns out he played SF Ryu in something different playing Ryu Hayabusa. 10/10
En fawning over the pink dog-thing will never not be funny to me.check out the manga when you're done if you haven't. The animation really elevates the source material but the source is good too
Also, Ebisu's antics.

Byron Mann played Ryu. He's not in the DOA movie. I don't get what you're saying here. :dizzy
I said some SF movie, dawg. Not that specific one. Apparently one of the alpha animes.
Wait what the frick Jin Roh is part of a trilogy, but the other two movies are live action, and both Jin Roh and the second movie are actually prequels?
Yeah I looked them up and the anime somehow looks far higher budget :lol

William Gibson named a chapter in his Virtual Light after that movie: "Cruisin' with Gunhead."
I still haven't figured Akira out. Every time I rewatch it I discover something new I hadn't seen before and my understanding deepens but there's so much in there. Thinking of reading the manga.

I wanna say it was almost on the levels of Lupin here, in the late 90s early 2000s, in terms of popularity.https://www.crunchyroll.com/city-hunter
Yeah I'm dropping this but with Transhuman saying Jin Roh is the oldest film they watched, not everyone will know about City Hunter.
The one I saw is .357 Magnum in English. A total trope fest, you'll probably never be surprised by any of the plot turns but it's well paced and it's more about the sleek sophistication of the visuals. Though I must say it's unfair to the writing, the characters (and especially the platonic love of Ryo and Kaori) is explored with some depth and put in perspective with others throughout the film with a good bit of thought and structure.
There was a recent French live action film of City Hunter (it's a cult piece of early 90's culture here). Didn't saw it and heard good and bad things about it but at least the trailer tells me I can't fault them for the effort.

Little Witch Academia is the first anime I've watched in a long time that felt like its strictly for kids, but I really enjoyed it. Especially the second season. I feel like most anime don't end well or leave too many loose ends, but the final episode here was pretty much perfect. Loved the ep with the nod to Gurren Lagann also.

Oh god, Yusuke's comments when fighting the transwoman demon from the Triad. "If you're gonna be a man, do it all the way, not halfway!" Oh, and he felt her up to find out. This doesn't fly in 2021. :lol
Ha, speaking of Togashi. I had to look this up, I always forget about that first Toguro appearance lol. I always think of the Dark Tourney first.I completely forgot too. I'm enjoying this rewatch, but the pacing is insane.
I've read some Dark Continent spoilers and I think it's finally time I bite the bullet and catch up... I was hoping Togashi would have at least completed one more arc before I jumped in, but I'll be joining my Hiatus x Hiatus brethren soon.Have they finally reached? They were still on that damn ship when I last read it. And delays/skipped weeks were still frequent. ::)
If I remember correctly, Kurapika is the only main character on the ship. It seemed to be a whole arc dedicated to him.
I really don't remember Yu Yu Hakusho at all. Only 27 episodes in and they're already on a ship (::)) on their way to The Dark Tournament. The pacing is insane and everything in Yusuke's normal life is an afterthought. :lol
Also _highly_ recommend odd taxi this season. It's bonkers good in an atypical way.
Frieza as Genkai is perfect too :lawdCan't say the same about the young Genkai moments. :lol
Yeah the pacing really grabs you. Even if you're not feeling a particular arc you never have to wait too long. And I love how everything kinda builds on eachother naturally (character relationships, worldbuilding, plot developments, etc.), it always feels like there's real consequences because we get to see various permanent status quo changes. HxH takes that to another level actually lol (with pacing sometimes suffering in comparison.)I finished the Dark Tournament yesterday and I agree with your spoiler, but I also understand that this was long before killing off a main character was acceptable.spoiler (click to show/hide)One minor detriment: the fan in me loves that Genkai gets brought back but the storyteller is a bit disappointed -- her death was *so* well done. And IIRC she had served pretty much her whole purpose by then too, and doesn't do much after she comes back.[close]
I still need to watch the Blu-ray special from a few years back!
Hathaway's Flash on Netflix? Fuck yeah.

Had no idea what you were talking about here. :lol Gundam movie, got it!
Welllll, I still haven't seen Thunderbolt S2 since I heard it was not so good.Well I was wrong about that. Don't know where I got it that Thunderbolt staff was involved.
And I just found out that Hathaway is 3 movies and this is just the 1st one? Hype kinda deflated cause they could still fuck up the rest.
Vivy ended. It holds up through the end. Watch it~

Wit Studio's been doing really great work. Attack on Titan, The Rolling Girls, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Ancient Magus' Bride, Vinland Saga, Great Pretenders...all above average or better series.
I loved the first Hathaway's Flash film and kinda thought your complaints about Hathaway and Mafty in general are essential to the plot. He's trying to be Amuro but also idealistic like Char and it's highly problematic (he looks like Amuro, dresses like him on the outside layer but then he has the deep red vest underneath), along with his trauma suffered during the events of CCA. He's also a product of privilege and being allowed to chase his ideals regardless of whether the regular person even cares (ie. the conversation with the taxi driver).
edit: Cool to see AVClub talking about the film with similar thoughts:

I basically agree with this takeaway, but couldn't sum it up so succinctly. Like it's pretty clear he's struggling with his ideals, and the actual wants and needs of the _engine_ he's set in motion. It's also clear there are bad actors co opting his movement, further muddying the waters of public perception. I'll have to check out this av club article soon, thanks for the link.

Hathaway's comment about Anaheim playing both sides shows the military industrial complex in full force doing what it does best. The Earth government may be shit, but the people making Gundams aren't any better.
Whats a anime that is good and is about dragons (not killing them preferably?)
Or also a cute anime about cats

Wow, it's been a minute since the first season.
For anyone more familiar with the game - Is the Shenmue anime looking like it's covering the first game? Is there stuff from all 3 so far? Might it have an ending where the original never will, y'know, like X TV or something.....?
Blade Runner looks lame after the anime short from 2049.It looks exactly like everything I was afraid a sequel would be. Man, wow, I couldn't even finish the trailer.
Exclusive Global Premiere of the first 12 episodes on Netflix starts from December 1
Sometimes I think about Gundam Iron-Blood Orphans and how that was the last great anime I've seen and that was 2015.
Has there been a single anime TV series that's had a better story/ending than that in the last seven years? IBO was like the Game of Thrones of anime and I've never seen anything before or after like it which is part of why I love it so much even if it has a weak filler arc period in the middle. The last 13ep arc is just red wedding the anime.spoiler (click to show/hide)I can't think of anything outside maybe sports anime where the main characters are heading towards a goal the entire story and then they LOSE and the ending goal instead changes to trying to survive the fallout of losing. That everything they've fought for and built towards is lost because instead of being tropey anime it's bitter realism like Game of Thrones and sometimes you make a bet and you bet wrong and that wrong bet costs them everything.
Works even better in IBO since they're mercs for hire, so the larger decisions aren't even theirs. They simply backed the wrong boss in the end and lose it all. It's really impactful and an awesome conclusion. The final showdown with the MC buying time for his friends to get out while the main gundam and him get shredded and they hold up his gundam's head in victory is really good.[close]

Anime gets very fillery in the later hundreds of episodes, or so I've heard.
Hard to top that whimsical score, though.

Gundam Isekai :lol
Finished watching Watanabe's Carole & Tuesday S2. It's no Bebop or Champloo, but it's better than Kids on the Slope and overall pretty much fine. It plays it incredibly safe in every aspect and its biggest issue is everything is pretty shallow but it's entertaining and feel good. Generally good character designs and art. Music was ok.
Also it starts to become a Gundam show at some point in S2.
Has the Gundam cycle started on AGE being liked yet?

Forbidden by the terms of his probation from accessing obscene material, Michael Bedtelyon landed in hot water with his probation officer after watching sexually suggestive anime cartoons. The court concluded the material constituted obscenity and revoked four years of Bedtelyon's suspended sentence. On appeal, Bedtelyon argues that the State failed to prove the videos constituted obscenity as defined by statute. We agree….
Bedtelyon was convicted of Level 4 felony sexual misconduct with a minor for criminal acts he committed with a 14-year-old girl he met on a dating app. After serving part of his eight-year sentence, Bedtelyon was released on probation. As a term of his probation, Bedtelyon was "prohibited from accessing, viewing, or using internet websites and computer applications that depict obscene matter as defined by [the Indiana obscenity statute]."
Through software required by the terms of his probation, Bedtelyon's probation officer learned that Bedtelyon had viewed several anime videos on YouTube with concerning titles, including: My Mother and Sister Pretend to Be Expecting My Babies After I Lost My Memory; I Seduced My Cousin and Let Him Do Everything He Wanted; and I am the Seventh of Sextuplet Girls and I Am a Boy. After viewing these videos, Bedtelyon's probation officer determined they were obscene and therefore violated the terms of Bedtelyon's probation….
The videos were not admitted into evidence, and we cannot determine that the court actually viewed them. Instead, the court relied on the testimony of Bedtelyon's therapist and probation officer who watched the videos and obliquely described the content. Their testimony reveals that the cartoons feature "provocatively dressed," though never naked, women. The animated characters all experience incestuous attraction. Overall, the evidence suggests that these videos might have erotic themes, are erotic in tone, and describe erotic feelings. But the State did not present evidence that sexual conduct as defined by statute was depicted or described, rather than merely implied.
In the first video, My Mother and Sister Pretend to Be Expecting My Babies After I Lost My Memory, the titular mother and sister pretend to care for their shared brother and son. Bedtelyon's probation officer testified, "At some point he impregnated them both and they were carrying his children." {Bedtelyon testified that neither woman was actually pregnant, which the video's title corroborates. Considering only the evidence in favor of the judgment, however, we accept Bedtelyon's probation officer's description here.} The sister "was clearly in love with him." These details suggest that the video heavily implies incestuous sex but not that such sex was depicted or described. This is so even though two of the characters become pregnant. Without evidence that the video showed or recounted the act leading to conception, we cannot say the video depicted or described sexual conduct.
The second video, I Seduced My Cousin and Let Him Do Everything He Wanted, features an "attractive" sixteen-year-old girl telling a story about her crush on her sixteen-year-old male cousin. "After great efforts of trying to seduce [him], he ended up spending the night with her cuddling, kissing all over." The two begin dating and wrangle with how to disclose their relationship to their family. Again, none of the actions depicted or described satisfy the statutory definition of "sexual conduct." "Kissing all over" could describe "other sexual conduct"—namely mouth to genital contact—but it could also describe behavior squarely outside the bounds of the Sexual Conduct Statute. Where multiple witnesses testified that the characters were never nude, and there was no testimony that any character exhibited their genitals, it is too great a deductive leap to determine that this testimony describes the sexual conduct the Obscenity Statute was intended to reach.
The third video, I am the Seventh of Sextuplet Girls and I Am a Boy, stars sextuplets, the seventh of which identifies as a boy. {Careful readers will notice that sextuplets are only six, not seven, siblings. The record contains no explanation for this discrepancy.} By the end of the video, two of his sisters fall in love with him.
They are feeling his bulgy muscles. They are continuously all over their brother to the point where they make him feel uneasy about the situation. They end up sleeping in his room … And I think at the very end of the video, the brother wakes up and actually finds his two sisters in bed with him. And, you know … they are sitting there smiling.
This video, too, fails to depict or describe anything more than implied sexual intercourse. That the sisters were "all over" their brother and "in bed with him" alone is not "sexual conduct" as defined by statute. The content is certainly suggestive, but suggestion of sexual conduct alone cannot constitute obscenity. If sexual suggestion alone triggered the Obscenity Statute, censors could train their scopes on clearly constitutional expression, from great literature to soap operas to internet memes.
Bedtelyon's probation officer conceded that the type of sexual conduct forbidden by statute was left to the viewer's imagination, describing the videos as largely "thought provoking" and "intended to … provoke … deviate thinking." Bedtelyon's therapist testified that the videos were concerning because their content "feeds that deviate fantasy." But matters that encourage deviate thinking are not necessarily obscene—which Bedtelyon's probation officer also acknowledged when he testified, "I guess where I said obscene maybe doesn't necessarily make it illegal." Here, the probation officer is right. The United States Supreme Court has limited regulation of obscene materials to those that "depict or describe patently offensive 'hard core' sexual conduct specifically defined by the regulating state law, as written or construed." …
The third video, I am the Seventh of Sextuplet Girls and I Am a Boy, stars sextuplets, the seventh of which identifies as a boy. {Careful readers will notice that sextuplets are only six, not seven, siblings. The record contains no explanation for this discrepancy.}

The Initial D car popped up for sale in GT7 and I remembered my friend who was really into Initial D. That was in high school. Those were VHS fansubs.

Power Antoinette 2022
"If the people don't have bread, let them pump iron!"
The queen's proclamation echoed across the Place de la Révolution. Chased from her palace and sent to the executioner's block, Marie Antoinette exploded in anger at the people who were basking in the euphoria of the Revolution. The people she loved were no more.
The muscular queen (of France) Marie destroyed the executioner's block and confronted the revolutionary horde, wielding the guillotine she had taken from them!
"I am France. The one and only France."
This is a story of rebirth. Muscles only become stronger after it has been injured.
The story of the strongest queen who reversed the French Revolution with her own strength!

Twenty-five years old this week, the film is Japanese animation master Hayao Miyazaki's most complex work. But how it was mishandled in the West speaks of fundamental artistic differences, writes Stephen Kelly.
Out with the Ryan Murphy deals, and in with the modest-sized bets on cheaper, “stickier” animation and anime fare.
...Demand for animated content has grown consistently over the last several years, making up just over 7 percent of the total global demand share for content in 2020, according to research firm Parrot Analytics, where I work as director of strategy. On top of that, demand for adult-oriented animation and adult-oriented anime has consistently grown, with a projected global market share of $43.73 billion by 2028, according to global marketing research firm Brand Essence.

Falcom and Tatsunoko Production have released the first trailer for The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel – Northern War, the upcoming anime set in the world of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel.
Lavi is a girl born and raised in North Ambria State, the poorest region in the northwestern part of Zemuria.
To protect her hometown, and to prove she is different from her grandfather Vlad—who was once hailed as a hero, but betrayed North Ambria—she volunteers to serve in the renowned Northern Jaegers, the largest jaeger corps in the continent.
Devoted to her duties to the point that she repeatedly breaches discipline, Lavi is grouped into a platoon with Marty, Iseria, and Talion and ordered to undertake a reckless undercover mission into the Erebonian Empire.
Witch is lame so far. It looks and sounds fantastic. But anime highschool nonsense sucks and is not what I want from Gundam. If it wasn’t Gundam I’d drop it.

I fucking love the German and Dutch opening to Sailor Moon. Having it be a happy hardcore song is an amazing choice. The Dutch one is sung by the voice actress for Bunny (Usagi) Tsukino.
I’m sorry your counter point makes the show sound even stuipider.
But there’s a unique fact about Rudolph, tied to its creation. The kind of fact that’s famous enough to inspire did-you-know articles every December — but obscure enough that those articles surprise a large audience each time. The fact is: Rudolph was outsourced to Japan. Its concept, songs, voices and storyboard came from America and Canada. The animation and puppets were done in Tokyo.
Back then, outsourced animation was booming for the first time. Rocky and Bullwinkle had been animated in Mexico a few years before. Tom and Jerry got shipped off to Czechoslovakia in the early ‘60s. The outsource artists on these productions were a diverse, unexpected bunch, who had their own views about the situation.
Yet maybe none were so unexpected, or so fierce in their views, as Tadahito Mochinaga — the leader of Rudolph’s animation team in Japan. At the time, he was a member of the Japanese Communist Party. His ties to Maoist China were close, and his opinion of America’s influence was low.
Gundam Witch From Mercury Ep1 - Was enjoyable. I liked it more than ep0 which I didn't like to much. The school thing is kinda yawn, but the mecha action animation at the end of the ep with the duel was pretty badass. Ariel is pretty crazy if the main gundam has fucking fin funnels from the start.Did you already watch the prologue episode? You should if you haven't.

You should also check out some recent ones from the fall season like Blue Lock and Chainsaw Man.
Does the tv show version add anything? I thought the 1st movie was petty bad.
Meanwhile, Adult Swim taking their sweet-ass time:
Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of people saying Trigun went hard and people love it in ep3 but like I'm guessing all these people never read the manga?
It was clearly not Cowboy Bebop and I realized at that point that if I wasn’t involved, it would not be Cowboy Bebop.
In handling this situation, Watanabe said that, “when I went to Los Angeles for the recording sessions, I told the team that if I saw that producer I would just punch him in the face. The producer ended up not coming to the recordings, which is unheard of.”
I watched Chainsaw Man because the hype and since I’m subbed to Crunchyroll and caught up on the shows I’m watching.
It was good, but idk didn’t get the “best ever” hype. Maybe because it felt pretty standard shounen which I’m very over at this point. Really well animated and well directed. Good character stuff, but the fights were kind of stupid and not really satisfying wins, just BS wins mostly. Kinda feels like an edgier Bleach with the devils looking kinda like Bleach monsters and the main guy looking like Ichigo.
It’s also like a really downer world and there’s no likeable characters. I prefer things a little less grimdark like FMA.
I liked it enough that I’ll watch S2, but not enough to be interested in reading the manga. Probably the most interesting bit of the show was wondering how the fuck this runs in Shounen Jump because with all the violence and gore you’d think it’d run in a seinen magazine like Berserk/Hellsing. This has to be the most violent comic ever in Shounen Jump?
Better than Golden Boy?
the devil is a part timer got a second season. now I have to go back and rewatch the end of the first because I don't remember what happened :brain
