well, let's compare their greatest accomplishments:
Katz
-flew the G-Defenser to support the Mark II
Fa
-takes showers with the two kids on the ship and runs after them naked
I think Fa edges out over Katz since they could always assemble the super gundam before launching.
Continuing the Zeta Gundam talk - were Katz and Fa the two most useless characters in the series? Fa pilots the Methuss which seems to get destroyed every other episode, and all Katz does is be annoying and whiny like Kamille but without the ace piloting skills.
Fa > Amuro at the start of Zeta, btw

finally, a good gundam movie :smug
i saw marina in it too.
she's way worse.
Mr. Bushido was the only part of Season 2 that wasn't complete garbage. The rest of it was all blah blah blah INNOVATORU blah blah Saji and Louise being distinguished mentally-challenged, everyone bitching about who is actually supposed to carry out Aeolia Schenberg's plan, Tieria in a dress (okay, that part was actually awesome), Ribbons looking all smug about something, touchy-feely moments with Marie and her almost-dad Andrei, and lots of other just random bullshit going on that I didn't care about.
I should finish 00 season 2, shouldn't I?
Maybe not.

I don't have time to justify myself to your viewers. I have a galaxy to save, excuse me.
If a brother such as myself was to get into anime, what would you suggestNaruto.
If a brother such as myself was to get into anime, what would you suggest
Satoshi Kon's movies are awesome - Millennium Actress, Perfect Blue, Tokyo Godfathers (my personal favorite).
If a brother such as myself was to get into anime, what would you suggest
The second film by director Satoshi Kon and screenwriter Sadayuki Murai recalls Perfect Blue, but Millennium Actress is a more complex, subtle, and sophisticated work that evokes the history of Japanese cinema. After nearly 30 years of living in strict seclusion, the aged film star Chioyoko Fujiwara grants an interview to journalist Genya Tachibana. As their conversation begins, Kan intercuts scenes from Chioyoko's films with her memories of pursuing the mysterious artist she met as a young girl. Accompanied by his blasé cameraman, Tashibana finds himself within Chioyoko's memories and films, alternately observing and aiding the woman he adores. Kon's skillful direction and subtle use of color strengthen the intriguing story: Chioyoko's memories are rendered in shades of gray, with hints of muted color highlighting the overall composition. American viewers will find their appreciation of this shimmering, spiral narrative deepens with repeated viewings. (Rated PG: violence, mature themes) --Charles Solomon
One of the most ambitious animated films to come out of Japan (or anywhere, for that matter), Perfect Blue is an adult psycho-thriller that uses the freedom of the animated image to create the subjective reality of a young actress haunted by the ghost of her past identity. Mima is a singer who leaves her teeny-bop trio to become an actress in a violent television series, a career move that angers her fans, who prefer to see her as the pert, squeaky-clean pop idol. Plagued by self-doubt and tormented by humiliating compromises, she begins to be stalked, in her waking and sleeping moments, by an accusing alter ego who claims to be "the real Mima," until she collapses into madness as her coworkers are brutally slain around her. Director Satoshi Kon, adapting the novel by Yoshikazu Takeuchi, shows us the world from her schizophrenic perspective: days blur, dreams cross over into the waking world, the TV show blends into her real life, until her life merges with her part and she can't separate the ghosts from the real-life stalkers. Though the pat ending sweeps the psychosis and anxiety away with nary an emotional scar, it remains a smart, stylish thriller and one of the most intelligent and compelling uses of animation in recent years. Though tame by the extreme standards of "adult anime," there is nudity and a few sexually provocative scenes, and the animation is detailed and stylized (if somewhat stiff and jerky by Disney standards). --Sean Axmaker
Satoshi Kon's third feature (following Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress) confirms his status as one of the most interesting directors working in anime. Tokyo Godfathers centers on three homeless people: Hana, a flamboyant ex-drag entertainer; Gin, an alcoholic former bicycle racer; and Miyuki, a sullen teenage runaway. Their tenuous existence becomes more chaotic when they set out to find the parents of an abandoned baby on Christmas Eve. They scream insults as they confront the lies they've told each other--and themselves--about the past. Yet they remain curiously endearing and even noble. All three care passionately about the abandoned infant, and they love each other, although they're loath to admit it. Kon skillfully uses color to suggest the bitter winter cold and the characters' alienation. Tokyo Godfathers shows that battling the inner demons that led these three characters to skid row can be a more daunting challenge than fighting aliens and cyborgs. (Rated PG-13: profanity, violence, tobacco and alcohol use) --Charles Solomon
My Neighbor Totoro is that rare delight, a family film that appeals to children and adults alike. While their mother is in the hospital, 10-year-old Satsuki and 4-year-old Mei move into an old-fashioned house in the country with their professor father. At the foot of an enormous camphor tree, Mei discovers the nest of King Totoro, a giant forest spirit who resembles an enormous bunny rabbit. Mei and Satsuki learn that Totoro makes the trees grow, and when he flies over the countryside or roars in his thunderous voice, the winds blow. Totoro becomes the protector of the two sisters, watching over them when they wait for their father, and carrying them over the forests on an enchanted journey. When the children worry about their mother, Totoro sends them to visit her via a Catbus, a magical, multilegged creature with a grin the Cheshire Cat might envy.
Unlike many cartoon children, Satsuki and Mei are neither smart-alecky nor cloyingly saccharine. They are credible kids: bright, energetic, silly, helpful, and occasionally impatient. Filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki makes the viewer believe the two sisters love each other in a way no American feature has ever achieved. My Neighbor Totoro is enormously popular in Japan, and some of the character merchandise has begun to appear in America. The film has also inspired a Japanese environmental group to buy a Totoro Forest preserve in the Saitama Prefecture, where Miyazaki's film is set. --Charles Solomon
Hayao Miyazaki (Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro) achieved his first international hit with this delightful 1979 adventure yarn. Quick-paced, high-spirited, and loaded with wit, Cagliostro is a dandy throwback to the caper pictures of the '60s. International man of mystery Lupin III stumbles back into the picturesque European duchy of Cagliostro with his faithful and gruff sidekick, Jigen. They will encounter, in no particular order, a runaway bride, a magical ring, an evil count with a dastardly plan, an inspector bent on catching Lupin, perilous rooftop chases, hooded guards with superhuman powers, a well-used dungeon, a counterfeiting scheme, and an ancient mystery promising grand treasure. Lupin deploys an array of Bond-type gadgets, razor-sharp wit, and a surprise up both his sleeves. Despite the hail of bullets, this caper is great fun, never taking itself seriously. Miyazaki's career illustrates how limiting the term anime can be for these films; there are hardly more than 10 live-action films of this genre as entertaining. Far less mean than Hollywood fare, it nevertheless is for ages 9 and up with language and gunplay. The Lupin character has been featured in other anime films, but never as successfully or with as much fun as in Miyazaki's film. The new English-language dubbing is excellent to boot. --Doug Thomas
Many anime fans acclaim writer-director Hiroyuki Yamaga's Wings of Honneamise as a masterpiece, but general audiences may react less enthusiastically. Honneamise is a small country in a parallel world very similar to Earth. Shiro Lhadatt, the least impressive cadet in the air force flight school, volunteers to become the first astronaut in a controversial space program. Training toughens his body, while the priggish evangelist Riqunni challenges him to discipline his spirit. In one distasteful sequence, Shiro attempts to rape her. The next morning he starts to apologize, only to have her apologize for braining him with a candlestick, a scene certain to infuriate feminists. Despite an invasion by a hostile country, Shiro gets into space and delivers a ponderous homily from his capsule.
Wings was made by a group of young artists in 1987, and with a record- setting budget. Art director Hiromasa Ogura's lavish designs blend '80s high-tech with art nouveau, and Yamaga's leaden pacing gives viewers the time to study every detail. Fans of Honneamise acclaim it as a critical meditation on the illusions and follies of the human race, which suggests that profundity, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. (Ages 13 and older for violence, attempted rape, and occasional profanity) --Charles Solomon
The entire Anime legend, Berserk, in one collection. Completely remastered, every bloody battle and brutal strike like they've never been seen before. In the castle town of Midland, a new king has come to power through treachery and violence. His demonic agents victimize the citizens, until one night a mysterious warrior comes to destroy them. Known as the Black Swordsman, he has an unrelenting grudge against the king. Before the twilight of Midland, a young mercenary named Guts fights for his fortune on the front lines. There he meets Griffith, who is charismatic, graceful and deadly. Griffith s mercenary company, the Band of the Hawk, is a powerful military force and the talk of elite political circles. Between the strength of Guts anger and Griffith's ambition, the face of midland will never be the same.
Sure has some nice art though! I read it long time ago but I caught up to the raws, so I fell off reading it. Pretty much forgot everything, I'll start back up someday.the art is ace, most detailed faces in a mango ever.

Also I noticed DTB OAV ep2 is out for MCD, Viz, Junpei. Grabbing it now.
At the recent Tokyo International Anime Fair a rather interesting new anime series, called Kihei Senki Legacies, was announced. Now, we know this is primarily a mecha gaming website – so why cover an anime series announcement?
Well, the first reason is that the mecha design is being helmed by Kunio Okawara. The granddady of real robot mecha design and a designer that has worked on numerous mecha games over the years. The second reason is down to the narrative premise of Legacies; as the series’ protagonist is an ardent gamer and as such is ideally equipped to pilot the Omega 99 pictured above (which looks like an interesting fusion of Gundam and Patlabor design sensibilities, with a dash of Mr. T thrown in for good measure).
Now this is not the first time a mecha gaming nerd has fronted an anime like this, as Overman King Gainer did it not that long ago. What’s interesting about all this is that gaming is entering more into the world of mecha anime, as it’s normally the other way around – with games referencing anime based functionality to form the base rulesets for the mecha.
The TV series is planned to have a 52 episode run and there’s no word on a release date as yet.
Yeah :/

eh, Highschool of the Dead looks kinda ugly. Bad art + lots of boobs and other fanservice = ugh.
"Ugly?" :wtf The art is great and it's very close to the manga version. It's titties n' gore n' zombies. Winning combination.
The proportions -obligatory huge anime titties nonwithstanding- are fine. I like that guy's art a lot. Forget his name. He tends to more hentai than anything else though...that certainly must be a shock. :P

It's got schoolgirls killing zombies and you DON'T want to see it? Duuude.
Movie. First of three.
That was when Gonzo was doing it but not anymore. So no more Murata either.
Do we have a studio?
The Anime Innovation Tokyo (AIT) production company has announced at Tokyo International Anime Fair on Friday that it is producing a new 52-episode television anime series called Kihei Senki Legacies. Story creator Shin Kibayashi (Bloody Monday, Kindaichi Case Files), mechanic designer Kunio Okawara (Mobile Suit Gundam, Armored Trooper Votoms, Yatterman), character designer Daisuke Nakayama (Tweeny Witches), and musical composer ReTurnTable (Transonic, Tanzmuzik) are collaborating on the science-fiction adventure robot anime with director UGAT.
Update: Trick Block, Inc. (Cavity Express) is producing the anime. AIT is THINK Corporation and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's joint venture that sponsored last year's Cencoroll. AIT describes the story of Kihei Senki Legacies as the following:
This story is set in Kissyo City, an urban zone with a vaguely unnatural atmosphere, though reminiscient of a typical modern Japanese suburb. The city is one of several oasis districts around the world that are dying due to the consequences of wars in the previous century. In the past, many large-size robots were created during wartime, though due to constant battle none have survived intact. Only the deformed and customized robots remain. These relics robots [sic] from past wars are called Legacies. Underneath the veneer of a calm and peaceful oasis. Kissyo City is being targeted by a dreadful armed group, who steal resources and the 'secret' of the city. Simone, the mayor and commander of the defense forces, rises the occasion with determination, hiring 5 rogues who can operate the Legacies in defense of the city. Together they decide to counter the threat using their 'trump card', Ω99 (Omega Double Nine), a unique series of military robot that has been lying dormant for an age. Using their 'mind', each robot selects the pilot who should operate them. Only those who can 'synchronize' with these robots can board them, hence the pilots are called Synchronizer. Out of all of the combat robots, Ω99 is the most challenging to pilot, requiring the highest level of operational skiils. Ω99, the final hope of the defense forces selects an average teenage boy called Yamato, as the synchronizer; a character who is unaware of the dangers approaching the city; a good-for-nothing who's only apparent skill is at playing games.
Well, it could be good?
Though the mecha design really does look like a RX-78 mish-mash.
will marathon it, viz.
Sora no Woto end was nice. Nice stuff altogether.
But it was sure nice when she played Amazing Grace.

It's just like in every other anime set in the United States! :o
Yamada (no first name yet, the show informs us) has but one goal for her first year of high school. To get laid! …By 100 different boys! Such a valiant pursuit, to ascend the heights of slutdom, but oh wait, there's more layers to her noble and captivating quest! She's only after virgin boys because she's afraid her muffin doesn't look terribly tasty and is positive that only fresh fish would take the bait she has to offer down south. So now her quest is to deflower (would it perhaps be dethorn?) 100 men instead! Her first target: nerdy Kosuda, who she finds unattractive but beggars can't be choosers!
Is this normal? Of course not! The concept is downright insulting to women on the whole, but is it at least funny? No, it's rancid and obnoxious for a myriad of reasons. First of all, the main character is, what a surprise, despicable. If she were consistently wild and licentious, that still might be funny, but no, she's inexperienced so she flitters between incompatible extremes. One moment, she locks an unsuspecting “cherry boy” in a closet to flash him and get him aroused so she can get a good rape in to kick off the year, the next she'll be shoving him over and fleeing in terror at the sight of a shielded stiffy. (That's the crowning gag of the episode, by the way.)
Second, we're graced with running commentary by an “erogami,” the personification of Yamada's libido, who resembles and functions like Babbitt from Kodocha except a thousand times more annoying. Even when that abomination isn't prattling away, every other character from the series pops in at random times to share such classic quips as “She's so stupid!” and “Just talk normally, Yamada!” It goes without saying that Kosuda has no traits whatsoever to distinguish him from the usual spineless male lead in these things. That might have at least improved the concept behind this trainwreck a smidgen…okay, half a smidgen.
Was this supposed to be funny even in theory? The “joke” that she was about to sex Kosuda up but forgot that kissing comes first is played off as cute, but reversing the genders on this entire premise would not be acceptable, much less funny, and this cringe-worthy “comedy” is hardly acceptable either.
Here's the premise of B Gata H Kei: Yamada is an abnormally pretty, sex-obsessed 15-year old about to enter High School. Her goal? Bang 100 dudes! But fate has other plans in store for the perverted Yamada, who's too embarrassed to sleep with an experienced guy, convinced she won't be any good in the sack. So she meets Kosuda, a virgin, and is determined to have him be her first, even if he's too timid to return her aggressive advances.
Yep. That's what this show is about.
B Gata H Kei is yet another in a long line of crappy anime sex comedies that seem to rely completely on lame “envelope-pushing” boner jokes and increasingly underage girls who have oh-so-wacky issues with sex. Last season we had Chu-Bra!!, which pretended to be about female puberty but was really just an excuse for otaku to leer at a high school girl who wouldn't shut up about her panties; B Gata H Kei at the very least tosses out the pretense (so there probably won't be any “no guys it's really a show about [insert well-meaning but obviously bullsh*t topic here] and it isn't just creepy otaku bait!!” arguments) and is mostly a series of unfunny tiresome gags about how badly Yamada wants to nail Kosuda. Surely there's a segment of fandom out there that will find this gut-bustingly hilarious, but it's about as funny and inspired as those straight-to-DVD “National Lampoon Presents” movies with titles like “Sorority Ass Party 2: Boner School”, except it's an anime so of course everyone's underage, which means not only is it just a bunch of lame sex gags, you're going to feel like a total creep watching it. Fun, right?
In the middle of the episode they (of course) try to tack on some cheap “tender” moments that suggest the budding relationship between Yamada and Kusoda is really an innocent one between two kids who are just so gosh-darned confused about sex and might really have feelings for eachother outside of Yamada's burning desire to jump Kusoda's bones as her first conquest toward her goal of boning a hundred other guys (every time she brings up that plot device my stomach churned a little). It doesn't work, and they're not fooling anyone, especially when the climactic joke is that just before their first kiss Kusoda gets an erection and Yamada – even though she's a sex-crazed nymph – just can't handle even seeing it! Oh, the hilarity!
Sometimes these sex comedies have weirdly high production budgets and so the animation winds up being pretty good, but that isn't the case here; this was produced on the cheap, so the animation is mediocre at best. The character designs are all really generic and uninspired too, so it's not particularly fun to look at either. This is lame, lazy junk aimed at some phantom audience out there that I'm not part of. Skip it if you value your personal dignity.

I finally bought Gundam Unicorn on DVD and watched it.
THAT.
WAS.
AWESOOOOOME.
You guys are homos.
Gundam dubs are better than the Japanese voiced versions.
You guys are homos.
because you watch anime
Dubs don't always suck (rare I know).
GitS dub was good
DBZ japanese voices got annoying quick
Fooly Cooly dub is superior
I don't remember exactly, but I think the Cowboy Bebop dub was also superior
Have you seen the Zeta movies? How are they?
first episode of Major season 6 is out
major ja nai?
No, dubs suck. Original intended language >>>>>>>>>>>>> some crappy voice over. And that goes for more than just dumb ol' animu.

The zeta movies are cool. Not for the story, because they're a butchered version of zeta, but for the sweet awesome re-animated fights. Movie 3's entire finale battle which is like the last 5 eps of Zeta is 80% completely new animation and it's badass. I liked movie 1 & 3. Movie 2 changes the four arc so much that it's painful to watch.

Wrong.
major ja nai is the main subber for Major anime.

Dude, they were absorbing people's lifeforces and going Super Saiyan and having force duels inside each other's minds and all kinds of shit in those last few episodes, how am I supposed to know what he's capable of?

You have to think of that in terms of psychic-type sci-fi shit (like Scanners and whatnot), not supernatural spiritual shit.
I felt like there was more plot going on than dtb1 which was twice the length.
F91...such potential. The first thirty minutes or so of the movie have gorgeous animation.
there was no ending.QuoteI felt like there was more plot going on than dtb1 which was twice the length.
dtb1 = episodic + lots of episodes dedicated for characters like yin or huang, it was slower which was much better since i like watching hei and his two persona. the plot was between these episodes till they reached episode 20 or so where they had to wrap it up (with a silly ending too.)
dtb2 is just the main plot, i like it but yeah, needed to be longer (i guess the ovas will cover some of that) + a real ending or season 3 and this time hei as the main character.
still though, i am actually surprised you liked it, guess i can't troll you now.
and for some reason i am re-watching berserk.

Question:
What are some essential, top-tier anime films?
What I've seen so far: Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Wicked City, most of the Miyazaki/Ghibli stuff.
I'd like to watch more of the essentials. Nothing with uguu or too many tentacles, please.

Eat it.
Quon Kisaragi is a mysterious young girl who speaks the first words of the TV series and is shown meeting Ayato in episode 4. Her standard expression of surprise or agreement is "Ra-ra" (or "La-la") and most of her dialogue is cryptic and musically themed.
Smh, Rahxephon...:lol
I liked it at first, but it kinda went nowhere and shit didn't make sense to me. Some weird or dumb shit happened in the 2nd to last episode and I dropped it. Still better than Eva though.
Then again, I haven't seen Rah since I was 16 or so.

RX tv was ok.
The Rahxephon movie by Kyoda, who then went and did Eureka Seven, was awesome. It remade the plot of RX into a much better one and compacted it all into 90 mins. The way he weaved the original footage together to tell a new tale worked very, very well. The ending was great too. RX movie = him turning RX into Alice in Wonderland. Though I don't think the film can be fully appreciated without having seen the TV series first, so you see what he did with it.
Too bad he failed horribly trying to do the same thing with the E7 movie. Soooo bad. Turning E7 into Peter Pan did not work at all. And watching Hap and Stoner try to rape Eureka was wtf
RahXephon >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Eva

Stop being a contrarian just for the sake of it, himuhimu. RahXephon had a lot of nice things going for it, but it turns to shit in the last few episodes. It's not even worthy of licking clean Eva's bootheel.
If Rah sucked, Eva blew like a hungry fat bitch.
mmm... i don't know it's 50 episode and it sounds kinda like a plotless action show...

Eureka 7 was not the best ever but its not as bad as some here talk about the series.

Watched about the first half of Vampire Hunter D last night. That shit is 80s-tastic! :lol Holds up about as well as Transformers the Movie.
I went from rewatching the essential Gundam UC (MSG, Zeta, CCA) to the side stuff and now I'm starting up the alternate universe ones. My "goal" has become just watching all Gundam shows again. Right now I'm on Turn-A because it was my favorite alternate universe series and so far it is still great. I'm curious about how I'll feel about Victory Gundam since I don't remember liking it much in the past, but I've come to appreciate F91, so why not that.
I'm watching Birdy the Mighty.
Please someone tell me that this series continues to be awesome 80's anime action and not 00's stupid nerd social life ???

Don't forget Tatami Galaxy which is probably the best show this season that's not K-On!!
Still finishing up Trapeze which is good too
Some BD-Live content has come (and some has gone, apparently) for those who load the English menu...
As of tonight, the "what's new" page says that from 26 Mar - 22 Apr the "opening day stage greetings" were available.
They also added the episode storyboards to page through (46MB; 141 pages, usually with two per page) on 26 Mar, but access to them appears to end on 27 May (well, "available for viewing until ..." are their words).
On 23 April, they added an audio commentary for the episode. Production people mentioned in the description are "Kazuhiro Furuhashi (director), Yasuyuki Muto (script), Shinya Ogura (conceptual consultant), Harutoshi Fukui (story [writer of the Unicorn novels, according to ANN]), Naohiro Ogata (producer)". It's a 146MB download, and currently has no cut-off date.
A teaser says that a cast commentary (Japanese, I presume, but maybe they'll do an English one for our market?) will be part of the next update on 28 May.
Going to look at the Japanese side, it doesn't look like there's anything new in the "Special Content" section. I do see three trailers flagged as "New" in the "Information" section. One is a 32 sec "Break Blade"/"Broken Blade" trailer. There's also one for something on DVD/BD/UMD that's Code Geass-related (music, pictures, and cast and/or crew on stage). The third flagged trailer is for something VOTOMS, runs for only about 20 seconds, and replaced a previous trailer.
Episode 2 of the OVA, "The Red Comet" will be released in Fall. The biggest selling point is of course Unicorn Gundam vs Sinanju. Banagher Links will be fighting in normal suit and Unicorn Gundam will use its Beam Magnum. There will be many MSs and battleships from the U.C. era to see as well.
Some images of Episode 2's storyboard can be seen in this previous posting.
There's also explicit mentioning in the text shown in the image that the OVA will be moving at the pace of 2 releases a year. This is the first time we get to confirm on the timing I believe. With that in mind, Episode 4 will be released some time in the second half of 2011 then.

Has it been confirmed how many OAVs it's going to be in total? Is it going to be 6?
I hope Full Frontal is a cool character. 9/10 times the masked characters in these series are the best.

Here's another new show that's pretty good:he's a character in detective conan, doubt you getting a full series just for him.
Kid the Phantom Thief
It's from the guy that that did Detective Conan. Apparently what's out right now is just some kind of TV special, but maybe there's going to be a full series soon? I don't know, but the first episode that they put out definitely made me want more of this. Aside from some CG, it has the look and feel of a mid-90's anime.

wait, he has his own series?
Kaito Kid appears every so often in the Detective Conan series (and in the focus of the excellent third Detective Conan movie). It is usually a treat because it is a time with Conan's "victory" is at best stopping Kid from complete success. Kaito Kid is also pretty awesome because he helps Conan out and knows his true identity, yet he doesn't do anything because he enjoys the competition Conan presents.
yeah, I'm looking for it to see whats up.
The closest he had to leading role in a series was that crappy Conan / Kaito Kid / Yaiba crossover special. Those never turn out good.
They had Lupin vs Conan and it turned out to be shit!
yeah, Working is the most surprisingly good show because the premise is terrible. It's like moe satire.
I watched Working!! ep1 last night and it was ok. Light entertainment, animation was ok, was alright. But I'm already getting better animated, funnier slice of life comedy with K-On so I don't think I'll watch anymore of this. Speaking of which I thought K-On!! ep4 was a really cute and funny girl bonding ep. The animation was sooooo good. I dunno if it's sad for the industry or just impressive for the studio, but K-On!! probably has the best quality animation this season. It's so fluid and the characters change clothing like EVERY 10 MINS. Very nice.

Is it just me or have the past few season of anime featured more aggressively-awful shows than there used to be?
Is it just me or have the past few season of anime featured more aggressively-awful shows than there used to be? I mean, it's not just that there are a lot of shows that aren't very good, because there certainly are, but there's been this insurgence of shows that have pushed the bounds of good taste so far that it boggles my mind that they ever made it on to television in the first place.
Shows like:
-Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou
-B Gata H Kei
-Kissxsis
-Ladies versus Butlers
-Chu-Bra
-Dance in the Vampire Bund
-Mayoi Neko Overrun!
-Shin Koihime†Musō
-Sora no Otoshimono
-Queen's Blade
-Seikon no Qwazer
There's varying degrees of badness here, but some of these shows are well and truly putrid. There's been some really bad shows before, but has it really been THIS bad?
I got an Amazon spam mail saying the Samurai Champloo BD box set is now only $39. Is that a good deal?

The official website of the Senkō no Night Raid anime series has announced on Monday that it will stream the seventh episode ("Jihen"/Incident) instead of having it air on television. The episode depicts the point of view of the Japanese in Manchuria during the events leading up to the 1931 Mukden Incident. The alleged sabotage of Japan's railway in this area of China was the pretext for Japan's invasion of Manchuria that same year.
The streaming of "Jihen" will run from May 18 to May 30, although whether the stream will be geographically restricted has not been specified. Instead of showing "Jihen," the television stations in Japan will air the special episode "Yogen" (Prediction), in which a key person of the story will discuss the story thus far and predict what will come for Japan's Sakura Kikan spy organization in China.

Not bad. Kind of by the books, but satisfying. Similar to X it seems like the manga is copying the original anime conclusion to some degree. Probably because the original anime ending was AWESOME.

Redline was in development for over half a decade, finally being released several years later than originally planned. Given that it's the directorial debut feature of Takeshi Koike (key animator on The Animatrix, Dead Leaves and Samurai Champloo, and director of the short OVA Trava – Fist Planet) it seems slightly unusual that MADHOUSE allowed the production to drag on for so long, and presumably swallow up a hefty budget. All of which begs one obvious question – was it all worth it?
The simple answer is a resounding yes. Whatever you might think of MADHOUSE's creative and economic risk taking with Redline, there's no denying that for the film's entire 100-minute runtime you are watching something very special, very different, and insanely exhilarating.
For a start, Redline looks like nothing you've seen before. It's easy to see that Koike is a huge fan of western graphic art, and has been influenced as much by French comic artist Jean ‘Moebius’ Giraud (possibly best known for his design work on The Fifth Element), the US animated film Heavy Metal, cult UK sci-fi comic 2000 AD, and even the Star Wars movies as much as he has by the likes of Katsuhiro Otomo, Hiroyuki Imaishi or Leiji Matsumoto. Not that Redline feels or looks like a mash-up of different styles – somewhere in the visual chaos it unrelentingly throws at its audience it becomes something that is far more than the mere sum of parts, a unique piece of animation that at times doesn't even feel like anime in the traditional sense.
Take the character designs for a start – the film feels like it is crammed with literally a cast of thousands of extras, all of different alien races and species. In fact it's only really JP and his love interest Sonoshee that appear to be baseline humans here, meaning that they are the only characters designed in a ‘traditional’ anime style, and are vastly outnumbered by the freakish and unusual looking. The same goes for the mechanical and set designs – there's little here that is reminiscent of a traditional anime production. Instead everything – buildings, vehicles, spacecraft, the Roboworld military's insane planet wrecking weapon systems – all seem warped out of scale, hideously impractical and with the apparent ability to be twisted and stretched out of shape despite how solid they might first appear.
It's amongst this onslaught of graphic insanity that Redline accomplishes something truly surprising. Somehow, without the audience realising it, Koike has managed to make all this chaos believable. Perhaps through the pure density of detail or just knowing when to pull in the reigns slightly, he makes everything from the busy alien crowd scenes to the full-throttle, explosive race sequences seem like events in a real, tangible world. Exactly how he manages to pull this off is impossible to work out after just one viewing, and may never be revealed fully, but it does seem to hint that Redline is the work of a genuine genius.
Not that everyone will love this film – it could be that some will be put off by its soundtrack, comprised almost purely of high-octane, scratch-mixed techno. It might not be to everyone's taste, but it fits the film's visuals beat-perfectly, and it's hard to imagine any other style of music doing the job as well. Some critics are going to look at the film's minimal plot and decry it as ‘style over content’, but to do so will be to reveal themselves as not even within driving distance of the point. Redline is animation not only at its best, but also largely animation for animation's sake – not a story that had to be made in anime form to due to budgetary restrictions, but a story that could only exist in this medium. It is experimental, challenging and most importantly exhilarating in its artistic style in ways that most works could not even dream of reaching through script writing or thematic devices.
There will probably also be some more conservative anime fans that just won't get Redline, that will look at it's unconventional character designs and over the top action sequences and see something they don't consider to be anime. And that's fine, because ironically what will be turning them off is exactly what gives Redline the potential to be a huge cross-over hit – its unique blend of art, music and groundbreaking animation sure to pick up fans from outside the scene, as well as making it potentially one of the most daring and important anime movies for a very, very long time.
Overall : A+
Story : B+
Animation : A+
Art : A+
Music : A
+ This is the most insanely exciting, visually exhilarating anime film you've seen in decades. Incredible fun.

Oh, and I have no idea what the hell is up with the sub group (Coalguys)-- the last episode I watched (seven, I think) was full of weird net-slang that really didn't fit, or just shit they made up. There's a part where a mother asks if the kids want watermelon, and they say "haaaaaaaaaaaaai!!" The subs said "AWWWWWW SHIT!!" :lol Another part had a female character telling the male that she made some fried chicken, but the subs said "I bought some KFC." :wtf

I finished watching Trapeze and the show ended up being 10x better than I would have thought from the so-so first episode.
The pairing of interesting people with interesting personality disorders led to some great episodes like the Yakuza guy who has an OCD fear of sharp objects. Or the teen is addicted to his cell phone. Or the reporter who always has an irrational fear that his house is on fire. Lots of enjoyable episodes.
Then the 2nd to last ep about the newspaper/baseball_team owner was actually a legitimately good piece of drama. Powerful good stuff.
The final ep was ok, but the end that closed up the series was nice.
Thumbs up, would recommend.

I mentioned this before, but I'm going to do it again. I'm 30 chapters in and it's one of my favorite comedy mangas...ever, maybe. It's just absolutely hysterical. It's a bit like School Rumble, in a way, but far, FAR better. The characters, the situations and how the characters react to them, and the reactions themselves [particularly extreme, Loony Toons-esque faces], it's all really good.spoiler (click to show/hide)(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k33/GreatRumbler/mahou_x_yankee_kun_to_megane_chan_3.jpg)

So it was all violence, tits and heavy metal references. Which spells awesome for me. Sure I hated the anime cliche's and the evil laughs were horrible, but damn if that wasn't entertaining. I hate Yoko and that little kid Lushe, but Dark Shneider was awesome and Gara was the definition of badass.
Too bad they only made 6 episodes out of 8, would have loved another two episodes.

I started watching K-on a few nights ago to give it a fair chance after seeing 95% of the gaf anime thread is about it. I'm kinda...sort of enjoying it. I mean, it's not that bad. It's like watching a glade plug in for entertainment. :-\spoiler (click to show/hide)moe moe kyun :uguu[close]spoiler (click to show/hide):'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

Apparently Kimi no Iru Machi is a manga that will make you very upset with character decisions. Kinda makes me want to read it, though I'm already reading Good Ending, I dunno if I can handle two romance manga at a time.don't bother, while i love the school/country theme shit, is rage inducing.

i definitely recommend that manga mcd mentioned to everyone
its a pretty heartwarming story
just done reading it.
what a blast, i recommend this manga with every man juice in my balls.
just watched Hellsing 7. This series is so fucking awesome. I hope there are enough people buying anime to keep the industry alive long enough to finish it...

Yeah, Hellsing OAV 8 is supposed to be THE GREATEST EPISODE OF ANIME EVER
but apparently because of that it's going to cost A LOT to animate it and the OAV doesn't sell well enough (and Geneon who was funding it from the USA died) to fund it so it's been TBD for a while now.
Rumor has it that there's a panel at AX where there's going to be an announcement of Funimation taking over the rights and funding the last 3 eps (going to be 10eps total).
Viz told me to read that. Only read a couple of chapters, always meant to get back to it.i've decided to read it too and...
sorry mcd.

New mecha show from BONES, Star Driver. Very Five Star Stories-esque design...

Is the Hellsing OVA series good? I remember watching the first ep, but they took so long between 'em that I fell off. I liked the original series though, even if it supposedly diverges quite a bit from the manga.
How is the music? I really dug the music in the original series.
Is that clip of a fool blabbering the usual animu gibberish supposed to be representative of the series? I want fun music and absurd action. will I get it in this series?
The 36 publishers in Japan's Digital Comic Association and several American publishers are forming a coalition to combat the "rampant and growing problem" of scanlations — illicit digital copies of manga either translated by fans or scanned directly from legitimate English releases.
The coalition asserts that "scanlation aggregator" sites "now host thousands of pirated titles, earning ad revenue and/or membership dues at creators' expense while simultaneously undermining foreign licensing opportunities and unlawfully cannibalizing legitimate sales." Google lists one site on its list of the 1,000 most-visited sites on the web. An unnamed spokesperson for the coalition also pointed to smartphone applications designed to read such sites as an escalation of the problem.
The coalition is reportedly threatening legal action against 30 scanlation sites, whose names were not revealed. The organization currently includes Japanese publishers Kodansha, Shogakukan, Shueisha, Square Enix, and the Tuttle-Mori Agency, as well as North American manga publishers Vertical Inc., Viz Media, Tokyopop, and Yen Press.

Watched five eps of Hellsing OVA now and I'm out. Way too much straight up disturbingly bad exposition. I can't fathom that they wrote, recorded and animated all that without realizing how terrible it is. The action is good, and the music, while not up to the previous show, is good, but I can't be assed to sit through this when there is ten times as much time devoted to talking heads blathering nonsensical nonsense in broken-ass European languages (they say prosit as a toast for fucks sake) compared to the few smatterings of action!
MOTHER. FUCKING. RAGE. QUIT.
I don't recall any focus on story in Hellsing OVA. I just remember a bunch of awesome shit.

You rage quite right before the most awesome battle in the series.
omg watched the episode of Aria where the President runs away because he thinks he's only getting in everyone else's way.
:'(
also, K-on Season 2 kinda sucks compared to the first one. The characters take the their shtick to an unbearable level. Yui in S1 was aloof and now she's distinguished mentally-challenged.

You should be watching House of Five Leaves and Tatami Galaxy instead!
I guess y'all are more tolerant than me. Every dialog was at the very least twice as long as needed and the constant barrage of english and german phrases being destroyed was way over the line for me.
Like, in the fifth episode the major is like "destroy london! destroy everything! muhahaha~" And then his soldiers are like; everything? big ben? YES! Trafalgar square? YES! THE IMPERIAL MUSEUM?! FUCKING YES! HE SAID EVERYTHING! they keep going on forever like the writers are listing shit out of a london sight-seeing guide! how do you not fantasize about shooting yourself while watching that?
???
It's also kind of a shame S2 sticks to the 3rd year in HS because just the idea of a school show starting as freshmen and going BEYOND high school and dealing with college and real life would be pretty refreshing. Seeing the characters actually grow up and the band get bigger. Could've been a cool show beyond the music and jokes and moe. Like Beck without the gangsters and guns and contrived drama subplots.
And I think Genshiken is the best slice of life series when it comes to showing how things change over time. I'm hoping there is a Season 3 eventually because there is more of the manga left to be animated.
The Cinema Today website reports that MADHOUSE is the acclaimed anime studio (Death Note, Paprika, Vampire Hunter D, Summer Wars) that is producing the previously announced Supernatural the Animation project for Warner Brothers. According to the website, this is the world's first animated project from a Japanese anime studio that is based on a popular overseas drama series. Shigeyuki Miya (Lupin III: Green vs Red, Aoi Bungaku Series, Buzzer Beater) and Atsuko Ishizuka (Aoi Bungaku Series) are co-directing the project.
Warner Home Video will release Supernatural the Animation on Blu-ray and DVD in Japan on January 12, 2011. The original live-action series follows the Winchester brothers Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) as they hunt creatures and other supernatural phenomena across the American landscape. The series premiered on The WB network in the United States in 2005, and it will enter its sixth season on The WB's replacement network, The CW, this fall.
Update: The animeanime.jp website reports that the anime will be a 22-episode season that will cover the storyline of the live-action version's first two seasons. The first volume will ship on January 12 with the first two episodes. On February 2, the "Box 1" set will ship with episodes 3 to 12. On April 6, the "Box 2" set will ship with episodes 13 to 22. (There will be a different release schedule for the rental version of the project.)
The anime project will not only remake the best episodes from the live-action version, but also depict original episodes not seen in the live-action version. Those original episodes will include prologues of the Winchester brothers' childhood, anime-only enemies, and episodes featuring secondary characters from the live-action version.
Supernatural creator Eric Kripke is credited as the anime project's creator, and MADHOUSE co-founder Masao Maruyama is serving as executive producer. Naoya Takayama (Night Head, Liar Game) is supervising the series' scripts, and Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Trigun) is designing the characters.

The episode were they went to Japan and suddenly bitches be speaking english was dreadful. Other than that it was fun. Wasn't there supposed to be a third season?
It's over? Angel Beats, Durarara, and Five Leaves are on my "watch after they finish" list.
HERO OF JUSTICEshould rename manga to that.
fuck yo manga nicca. Watching Lain, on Viz's recommendation, and it's pretty fucking fly. Only seen two episodes, but thus far it's really cool. I especially like how they aren't scared to go long stretches without dialog.

No it's not. It's overwhelming. You have 30 things to look at on screen at once, forcing you to pause every second for a full minute. Not relaxing, not comfy.
is it gonna be just one episode?

Oh, the Evangelion 2.22 HK Blu-ray has a separate English subtitle track. If you'd rather not wait a year or so for Funimation to get around to releasing it, Play Asia and Yes Asia have it for sale.

maybe i should do that because i watched the first two and was bored to tears, it's why i usually don't watch animu movies, long artsy fartsy derp.

haha, yeah I mean the plot is lolz anyhow so you probably could do that.
movie 1 is absolutely terrible. Would not recommend to anyone in their right mind. Maybe it's decent after you've seen the rest but it's like Berserk ep1 except even worse.
movie 2 is the only one I thought had a good story, but then it's all mysterious and doesn't explain anything (I guess movie 7 will)
movie 3 is ok episodic
movie 4 is kinda nice because it explains movie 2 somewhat and you want to know what happened, but it still purposely avoids answering too much
movie 5 is crazy

I checked out that Naruto ep. Lots of really cool animation but the ep sucked and reminded me of why I don't watch jump anime adaptations. The pacing soooooo slow. It's like with this ep you have all this super stylized great animation but there's no energy to it because the pacing is like you are watching it in slow motion. This ep will make a lot of great looking animated gifs though.

Tatami Galaxy final ep was a great end to a great show. Definitely the show of 2010.
I've always like Yuasa's stuff, but it's often been too arty and too incomprehensible for its own good (Kemonozume, Kaiba, Mind Game). Dialing it down a bit and doing something more mainstream and fun worked wonders. Really likeable show from start to finish. Funny and charming, with stylish art and good animation, two thumbs up.
Hope they bring it out in the US. Would be nice to own this on bluray.

I want to watch it but the stream isn't working
bit heavy on the panty and breasts shots, though.
it's about zombies, blood, mayhem, and breast/panty shots. what do you expect
The HoTD manga artist does (did?) a lot of hentai manga before he went mainstream.
Did the manga series ever finish up? Last time I checked it was on hiatus and he'd released some new comic instead.

Yeah, none of what I said is directed towards Highschool of the Dead since I haven't watched ep1 yet.
Paranoia Agent is pretty awesome. Opening theme is amazing.
Susumu Hirasawa hasn't made a bad soundtrack to date. He and Satoshi Kon work so well together.

Everyone likes Ritsu the most. I don't like Ritsu. I like the depressing characters like Nadoka, Asuza, Ui, and the teacher. The main four girls are jerks. Yui wrecks everything, then she tries to act cute, which is to say she acts borderline distinguished mentally-challenged. Mugi plays ignorant towards it all and they only keep her around because she supplies them with sweets and musical instruments. Ritsu is just a bitch. And Mio acts timid but we know she is a wicked person; all the songs about marshmallows and pillows doesn't hide anything.

it's slowly released and will never end (although probably in the final arc now, but who knows how many years to go)

It would be awesome if they made it realistic and not fantastical.
It's Japanese, so a live-action movie will be over-the-top-stupid and try too hard to be like its source material, which generally doesn't work when not in animated form. (At least DMC got it right.)

I think that's why I like the 'boring' characters. Episode 4 or 5 in Season 2 that was about the people left behind was kinda tragic. I can see most people not liking them, but I just think it's funny that when they have free time, their lives are empty. If there are more in Season 2, I should continue watching. That was the only episode I enjoyed so far.
I don't agree about Yui. The difference between Yotsuba and her is that Yui is just lethargic and stupid. They could replace her with a dying pig and it would have the same effect. Yotsuba is creative, energetic, and able to apply that whimsy to anything, making ordinary things seem like grand events. The series and character are really charming. Why hasn't it become an anime yet?
I may be hating on the characters a bit much because in Season 2 they really just become unbearable. I had no real problems with the first season.

The creator of Yotsuba doesn't want it turned into an anime, that's why.

Despite its popularity and the success of Azumanga Daioh, no plans have been announced for an anime adaptation of Yotsuba&!. In an entry posted on his website on 15 May 2005, Azuma said there were no plans for it to be animated;[32] he reiterated this 5 December 2008, claiming that the stories and style of Yotsuba&! are not well-suited for animation.[33]

I actually think it's cool that as a creator he thinks this particular story was created for a certain medium and doesn't want to see it converted to a different one. Kind of like Bill Watterson with Calvin & Hobbes.

Nihei's Evangelion. Kaji's english voice is so so bad. It was almost completely unintelligible.
All of the characters in High School of the Dead are basically anime archetypes, but the otaku guy is probably one of the most awesome anime characters I've seen in a long time.
And he interestingly looks a bit and has the same name as the guy who wrote Hellsing :lol

It was only like 16000 yen, so it's not a ridiculous price for a 13 episode series or anything.
Actually cheaper than when I ordered the full series of Escaflowne from the US all those years ago.
Yeah, I spent like 50000 for Fullmetal Alchemist and around 70000 for Eureka Seven back in the day on R2 dvd. To be fair those were 50ep shows though and I was way more into anime than I am now.
These days I'll wait for US $50 boxsets unless it's Gundam and then I spend $180 for 6 eps :X

I dunno, that's pretty reasonable compared to most anime prices these days ???
A gigantic promotional one was made for Ikkitousen Xross Impact.
I would LOVE for companies to offer a legit manga reader site online. Shit, let us even dl them. The convenience is SO GOOD. Instead of shutting these guys down, these companies should probably buy these sites and invest on the idea, because they're popular for a reason. I would PAY a monthly/annual fee for a 100% legit online manga site with hi res images that I can browse online and even on an ipad (which I will get in the future). It would be awesome, but these companies are so behind the digital times.
anything worth watching this season besides HotD and Basara if you like Basara?
I haven't checked out any ep1s. Everything looks trash.
Also the guy who directed Kurenai and other awesome shows is stuck directing GUNPLA THE ANIME along with Sunrise staff and Kuroda Yousuka writing :(
To think if this crew actually did a real Gundam it might have been good!
wasting time on gunpla anime smh, the lead mech in it looks so shitty.
After years of No Export For You, it might actually be coming to America, with Bandai Entertainment using TV Tropes itself to provide the hint (by listing three tropes at random).
Anyone seen Cat Shit One? First episode is out it seems.
Around 360 chapters into Naruto.
This is great stuff. Part 2 > Part 1
Deidara owned :'(
Manda :lol
Oh, the chakra particles thing made sense to me. I mean, even Kakashi recognizes Deidara's chakra. It's not like anyone else in the series can recognize chakra by feeling alone. It's not dbz.
omg jiraiya :(
Baccano 2
This thread has become The Himuro-Naruto Twitter feed.
Man, now pain has invaded Konoha. I can't believe all the hate Naruto has gotten from manga gaf after these past few chapters. It's not One Piece caliber but it's still great shounen.
PAIN ARC OWNS :bow :bow :bow
Holy fuck! This is awesome!
Not yet, Naruto has taken out all the Pain's except two.
Never seen Naruto. Let me know when you're back to talking about robots or something else that's cool.
amazon has a bunch of anime on sale right now so could ya'll recommend me some stuff? :uguu
ive already ordered fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood without having any idea if it's a good series or not.
thanks for the effort but i should of specified that i'm looking for newer (past few years) stuff.
two that are decently priced are claymore or heroic age. are either of those any good?

Is Baccano on dvd here? Seen Mushishi? Basilisk?
Get Gundam 00 season 1 if you haven't seen it. Don't watch season 2 and it'll be a solid conclusion to the story. :)
Also, get Gundam Unicorn vol 1
There isn't much to clean up from digitally created anime and enhancements are pretty spotty.
checked out Tezuka's MW from the library knowing nothing about it other than it was a Tezuka i hadn't yet read
it's 1) kind of rapey 2) really anti-american 3) hella gay
i think it's the perfect EB Manga
Wait wait wait, every episode past episode 2 of High School of the Dead is for PREMIUM subscribers only? Uh, yeah, die in a fire Anime Network.
Here's some thoughts on the new stuff this season:
Shiki - Gothic-lolita horror anime! But it's actually pretty good, outside of the fact that some of the male characters looked inexplicably ripped straight out of some bishounen series. It's got that creepy rural town feel of Higurashi, but without the mood swings between playful slice-of-life and completely psycho. It looks pretty good and seems to be building up an interesting mystery, centering around a series of bizarre deaths and a European-style castle. Not great so far, but we'll see.
Occult Academy - If Sam Raimi made an anime series, it would probably be something like this. Maya, the daughter of a private school principal, shows up late to her father's funeral, just in time to see his corpse reanimated by a lamia. The school has a reputation for this sort of thing and Maya wants to put a stop to it for good. Unfortunately, there's also a time agent from the future that wants to stop aliens from taking over the world and who believes that the school is at the center of the whole thing. There are also other shady things going on. It's fairly over the top and doesn't take itself too seriously which, for the most part, works in the show's favor.
Asobi ni Iku Yo - I really want to like this show, I really do. Because it really feels like the creators are trying to make this show more than it is. Unfortunately, they aren't entirely successful. The setup is that an airheaded cat girl alien with huge breasts comes to Earth to have fun and ends up living with a bland, personality-free male character that wouldn't stand out in a lineup of one. The male character also has a hot female friend, an emotionless female friend, and a female teacher. Normally I'd have shut this off after the first minute. But, get this, his hot female friend is actually a gun-nut bounty hunter, his teacher works for some shadowy corporation on the side, and his emotionless friend is some kind of living weapon. Yeah. Also, the first few minutes consistent of a cool scifi battle where lots of modern-day pirates get totally jacked up. So...ehh...I really want them to ditch the idiotic harem nonsense and the awful male character, but that probably won't happen. :-\
but would it have hurt to put in like one other main male character besides Mr. cliche typical Japanese generic high school student?
but would it have hurt to put in like one other main male character besides Mr. cliche typical Japanese generic high school student?
That's become like the buzz words that make my brain instantly shut off.
*picks up manga/anime to read synopsis* "A typical high school student..." *brain shuts off* *manga/anime automatically goes back on the shelf* "Hmm...now what was I looking for again? Oh yeah, Dudebro Mecha."
You blame Tenchi for boring leads? While Tenchi was a student, he wasn't really typical.
You could say the same thing about Ranma. "Typical student gains the power to turn into a chick!"
Tenchi is hardly at fault here, though it did help popularize the current harem genre. That along with Love Hina and Ah My Goddess.
I wouldn't say that Tenchi is normal at all. he attends school, but he's also the prince of an alien planet and has crazy sword powers. Tenchi is anything but normal. I don't think you've seen Tenchi in a while. The father is eccentric and batty, the grandfather is the most normal character on the show and he's an alien prince.
When I think of "normal" I think of Keitaro from Love Hina.
I haven't read Ranma in ages. I can't remember anything because Ranma is just that: forgettable.
You haven't seen the ova then that would explain it, because my idea of Tenchi is something different then.
Tenchi was probably where the trend got started though. He still had personality, but he was a much more grounded/normal figure, especially compared to everyone around him. But, today it's gone so far in that direction that male characters have become little more than an ineffectual, inoffensive blank slate to act more as an avatar for the lonely otaku audience than as an actual character with personality traits, hopes and dreams, hobbies, and so on.
Man, I think it's been nearly a decade since I watch anything Tenchi Muyo.
He had some personality and actually grew a bit as a character, but yes, he's definitely generic.
Toonami,Rurouni KenshinSamurai X, and Gundam Wing are what made me an anime fan.
I remember a big episode of Sailor Moon was gonna air one day.
And my dad took me to see Titan AE, so I missed it.
Titan AE sucked.
All I remember was,"I missed Sailor Moon for this shit?!?!?!"
He had some personality and actually grew a bit as a character, but yes, he's definitely generic.
The only thing that urked me with this was that he became the clone of another character in the end. Other from that he was okay
I recall the first Tenchi Muyo movie [In Love] being my favorite of the Tenchi franchise.
Tenchi in Love is amazing.
I first watched it when it came on the Scifi Channel back in the late 90's. :rock
man scifi channel was the SHIT back then. I want a whole list of the stuff they played because I've forgotten a lot.
ROUJIN-Z :bow :bow :rock
PROJECT A-KO :rock
IRIA :rock
Sci-fi anime Saturdays, Dragonball Z, Rurouni Kenshin, and Gundam Wing are what made me an anime fan.
Ah..the days when I'd get bootleg Rurouni Kenshin vhs tapes... :-[
I read that online and I was like,"Wow Japanese cartoons are so much better! They tackle complex issues!!!!"
Ah, 14 year old me go fuck a kite
Ranma is what made me a fan. Prior to that I'd read some other manga and seen Akira, but in 1992 I found Ranma 1/2 in my brother's comic box and was instantly hooked. At the end of '92, Viz released the first Ranma 1/2 TV series tape (two episodes FOR ONLY $34.99, what a bargain! :lol), Ranma 1/2 OVA (We were like "who the hell are all these characters!?" Some of them didn't pop up in the English-translated releases until like a decade later. Crazy shit.), and DTMC released the second Ranma 1/2 SNES fighting game all around the same time. I went fucking nuclear over this. :lol Back then just one new tape release was an event. Comic shops had very few releases and rental shops/stores had even less. Media Play was the biggest in the mid-90's with its "Japanimation" section. They used to put the hentai out with the regular stuff. Nobody paid any attention to it.
My dad had a comic shop from '93-'95, and during that period I got just about every single anime release that came out on VHS. Everything. I would go to the comic distributor with my dad or another store employee and literally empty the new release shelves into a shopping cart. Shit was half off for us so my dad let me go nuts. I have never been so spoiled like I was back then. We easily purchased about $400-$500 worth of comics and tapes every month back then.
It's been a long time since I saw Iria. They had a decent (at least at the time; it's probably aged horribly) beat-em-up on PSOne based on it called "Zeiram Zone."
Eh, well it's obvious to me that a lot of mecha anime, specifically Gundam anime, are made to sell toys too.
My father was a fan of DBZ so we'd get tapes whenever they came out. 30 bucks a tape for roughly 3-5 eps a tape for the "uncut" versions, 20 bucks for the cut versions.
But by that point, I was full into anime nerd mode and I needed more. So my friend lemme borrow his bootleg Kenshin tapes and the rest was history.
Then eventually more and more friends started getting into. So we'd buy a few tapes of series and swap, and then the next person would buy the next batch and we'd swap until we all saw the whole thing. Goddamn those were the DAYS.
Jesus Christ, I couldn't afford that much. I relied on stuff that was on tv, bootleg tapes from friends or at local comic shops, or for my friends and I to do the "buy one volume, you buy the next volume and we trade" shtick.

Then one carried the tapes, that day i t was fully confirmed that they edited a lot of crap before showing on TV.
its also funny that my local station actually carried Kenshin unedited way before Toonami came and i was like "holy shit" :lol
my brother bought the whole manga set of videogirl ai :-\
i remember we once bought this thing which was like jump and had several manga stories,one of them was gunsmith cats and i was like ultra-impressed by it,but i could never read the whole thing because we only bought that volume
another stuff we had was ghost whisperer mikami

You could always check out Dragonball Z on Spanish TV stations way before Toonami was around, too. :)
Remember how DBZ was when it first started? Nobody died and instead went to "The Home For Infinite Losers." I cringed every time they'd replace dialogue with someone being dead with "he's in another dimension!" :lol
DBZ in Spanish was so hilarious. They played it uncut too.
I would get up at 6 am every saturday morning to watch DBZ. It was the pre-Toonami days before it got really popular. I don't even know how I found out about it. I just got up early one day and was like WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CARTOON????? and the rest is history.
I was a Sailor Moon fan too!
Forgot the name of his other series which had the time-traveler chick going back to the present to stop some nerdy kid with DBZ-hair from becoming the "mega playboy."
I can't actually remember a single thing about Sailor Moon. :lol
I can't actually remember a single thing about Sailor Moon. :lol
Isn't that hilarious? Me neither. But I loved it at the time.
Looks like you guys were busy while I was putting up insulation in the basement.
My first real exposure to anime was a bunch of VHS tapes my cousins in Japan (US military brats) sent me. Watching raw unsubbed episodes of Zeta and ZZ Gundam as a little kid was awesome.
I remember always seeing EGM cover the import DB and DBZ games in 1991-1993, but I had no idea what it was about.
now that i think about it,they also did cardcaptor sakura once
but i think they stopped it before the ending...
heck does it even has an ending?

:bow EVANGELION :bow2
some other stuff they did here
slam dunk
trigun
yu yu hakasho
excel saga
GTO
karekano
master mosquiton (i don't think this one is know at all,it was about a vampire who would get super powers by sucking the blood of the girl that awakened him)
Golden Boy
Blue Submarine no.6
escaflowne

I know it's not generally accepted but I HEART Kare Kano anime.
[youtube=560,345]XPQ28v-_cLY[/youtube]

Some of the music from Kare Kano is in Eva 2.22.
the opening song was wtf. Reminded me some crazy 80's openings.
No way :lol

As for Eva i never watched it until it showed on Toonami edited to hell (although i knew about it way before that) finally watched the entire series and the movies sometime after and was like "wtf did i just watch :o"

Check out Rebuild. Eva 1.11 is ok, but 2.22 is awesome.
Aside from the ending, 1.11 is pretty much identical to the TV series. 2.22 throws everything out the window.

The first anime I watched were shows like Robotech and Speed Racer, then a few years later I watched shows like Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, and Sailor Moon. Stuff like that.
But the first "real" anime I watched were the ones I mentioned from the Scifi Channel when they used to show a bunch of anime movies.
I remember scrounging up enough money to get subbed tapes of Evangelion and Cutey Honey in the mid to late 90s... those fuckers were expensive!

There's slight changes throughout 1.11
For one thing, the Shinji in 1.11 isn't a whiny bitch, which goes a long way!
Import gaming is still incredibly niche, though.

Gundam UC volume 2 released on November 12th in Japan.
Not early 90s, but I still have the magazine ad for Dragon Ball GT Final Bout (plus the game) :rock
It is incredibly cheesy and says something like "how did this lethal weapon get through customs?"
It is a really bad game, btw. Even as a young dragon ball fan, I thought it was trash. Luckily my friend imported Dragon Ball Z Legends and that totally rocked.
[youtube=560,345]pI-zXj13CTQ[/youtube]
this game
My first import game was Jet Set Radio on the Dreamcast. I sat out on console gaming during the PS1/N64 era. The DC was what got me back into things.
I'm talking more about importing games that never get released outside Japan.
I'd love to see the numbers of Japanese copies of games sold in the US compared to the domestic sales in both Japan and North America.
I was in high school and just didn't care about video games for the most part. There were other things that were more important (music, girls, etc.) I played FFVII in high school and VIII in college on my PC, but that was my only exposure to consoles until I got the DC right before starting college. Once I got my PS2 in early 2001 I went back and bought up a ton of stuff I missed out on.
Ultimate Battle 22 did suck, but for some reason it was still fun a bit. Probably on Bloody Roar level.
It made DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 look good! :lol
Total shit game. I'm sure I've posted this before, but we would sell tons and tons of copies of the Japanese version (and later the U.S. version when they finally did re-release it...hard to believe, but at one time the American version was insanely RARE and sold for a few hundred bucks!). We'd tell customers how bad it was and they'd buy it anyway. Even in front of the boss...he'd just nod his head and say "see this? These guys are telling you this in front of me, but I don't care. The game sells." And the customer would buy it, bring it home, likely hate it, and sell it right back to us. :lol
Sucked. The Saturn version of it was an "improvement" and even then it sucked. Garbage game. Good soundtrack though.
IMO the best DBZ games are Legends, Hyper Dimension, SuperSonic Warriors, and Super DBZ. The latter played pretty nicely and even got an arcade release, but bombed miserably.

I want to see Kare Kano after seeing the opening. Looks neat.
Also just looking at the amount of interest online and the number of import shops that were around, imports were at their peak in the mid-late 90's, and fell off in the 2000s. Piracy and emulation definitely played a part in this, but how large is the question. Some like NCS have hung in there and seem to be going strong. Others, like Buyrite Games are thankfully dead and gone. They were so fucking shady.

I remember going to EB Games to pick up a DC Gameshark and the high and mighty clerk was all "yeah, I hear you can use this to play import games" and I responded with "Yep, I've got Jet Set Radio on the way." Shut him up quickly.
The Japanese manga and game publisher Square Enix has announced on Wednesday that it will launch a digital manga store in North America and France this fall.
The first chapters of Fullmetal Alchemist, Soul Eater, Black Butler, and O-Parts Hunter are already downloadable for free from Square Enix's North American and European websites in advance of the paid service's launch, with other series planned for later. (The North American website lists The Record of a Fallen Vampire, Pandora Hearts, Sumomomo Momomo, and Spiral: Bonds of Reasoning as "coming soon.") The service requires Adobe Flash Player on Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X.
The service is on display at Square Enix's booth at Comic-Con International in San Diego this week.
Who cares; the manga sites go down and others take their place. They are never going to win.
Can someone tell me a good site for RAW (Japanese) scans, BTW? Looking for One Piece, Naruto, and Hitman.
Nope. Guess no one has scanned it yet.:-\
Yep, Turn A Gundam got announced today by Bandai Entertainment.
reading elfen lied. I have a soft spot for really terrible manga that are page turners and full of fucked up moments. The art is soooooooooooo bad. Moe derp derp shit is awful, but the uber violence keeps me reading and chapters take about the same time as Bleach to read.
read Solanin and it was a nice little slice of life manga. Nothing too amazing, but the art was real good.
haha
you're reading elfen lied? :lol I've watched the anime and it was fucking stupid but I still watched every ep :lol

i don't remember.

Well, I've come to the conclusion most manga are not "good" but entertaining, so that's not too surprising.
Well, I've come to the conclusion most manga are not "good" but entertaining, so that's not too surprising.
I can find a shit ton of great manga. I don't have that problem.
But if I go in and expect good writing/good storytelling, then most manga is not "good". The writing level is above your average videogame, but far below films or novels.

It took you this long to figure this out?
Comic books rarely are on that level.
junpei what do you think of Prunus Girl? I found it absolutely hilarious. I got to chapter 5 before I could stop though. The whole premise is fucking stupid and it's admittedly not a good manga at all but it's SO FUCKING FUNNY (in a bad way).
Stuff like Naruto are pure entertainment, but I'd say Tezuka and Urusawa are fantastic storytellers.
What manga are you reading?
This is why I mostly stick with drama, seinen, and gekiga. I mostly loath shounen, although it can be entertaining. Stuff like One Piece are exceptions.
I'm amazed you'd classify Urusawa in particular as "entertaining". Urusawa? Entertaining? When I think of "entertaining" I think of a any random shounen manga, that strives to tell stories on the most basic of levels. This is..puzzling. I've never really read anyone describe Urusawa as entertaining.
This kinda makes me wonder what your exposure to so-called hier tier manga is. Do you find anime to be more fulfilling than manga? I find it to be the opposite these days. Manga has more depth, more variety, better writing, and often better art.
Different strokes I guess.
Bebpo, you've outgrown anime and manga.
Which is weird since you love those cheesy JRPGs. :P

it's all about leveling up and finding cool stuff
xenosaga is the only good rpg though.
With good anime, like a film, they plan out everything before making it and structure is a main part of it. Because of the way manga runs over years and years, the writing quality doesn't feel very consistent.
Otoh with anime every year there's always something on par with the best films each year. Baccano, Tatami Galaxy, Sword of the Stranger, Eva 2.22; It's seems like you don't get manga of that quality, at least not anymore.
Himuro, what are some manga you'd recommend with great stories and writing?
Yeah I do think in general anime tends to be a better storytelling medium than manga.

This...I disagree with. Even if these are good anime, I wouldn't say they're nearly on par with the best films of each year. What are you comparing them to anyways, stuff like The Dark Knight? I wouldn't even compare them to the best live action tv series on an annual basis either, in terms of storytelling and writing. I find the crap:quality ratio is higher in anime compared to film, tv, music and comics, but in general I think just about any form of entertainment or art has a high crap:quality ratio. But I still wouldn't compare let's say, the best anime of 2009 (whatever the fuck that was) to Moon or A Serious Man or Inglorious Basterds.
You never answered how many kanji you could read.
Stuff like Naruto are pure entertainment, but I'd say Tezuka and Urusawa are fantastic storytellers.

Real talk: Who gives a shit how something compares to the other unless you are making some kind of review? You like what you like, and not everything has to be top-notch Oscar-quality to be good/great/awesome/amazing/whatever. There's plenty of great comics n' toons out there that I have enjoyed, but I never looked at any of that stuff as the defining works of our generation, just as some good ol' entertainment. And that's all I really care about.
No doubt that anime has gone downhill in recent years, though. Manga certainly has not. Blame the anime industry for it. They release shit that is priced way too high, and only the otaku will buy it, so they just cater to them. It's really sad. They aren't doing enough to adapt to the internet age, either. Release stuff online for iTunes-like prices. (Yes, I know about places like Crunchyroll but that's not enough, plus that's for the English-speaking audience)

Haven't seen much difference in the manga thread (though i don't lurk as much as i used to) who are these "hardcore"?
2ch’s usual scathing response lends some insight as to how the closure of the world’s biggest manga piracy site sits with Japanese manga fans.
As ever, not all of their opinions are based on sound information or reason:
“Won’t they just start another site under a new name?”
“The biggest illegal distributor online, eh? Hurry up and destroy the rest.”
“Teach them the consequences of serious crime!”
“Just deleting them won’t stop it – the data will live on forever. You have to put in place fines and make it a serious crime or you’ll never stamp it out. It’s the same with music and movies.”
“With the major source gone I expect the small ones will die off too.”
“Scanlation won’t disappear, but a billion monthly page views is obviously going too far.”
“The industry has brought this strange situation upon itself by not seeking damages. Being forced to pay damages would have set a precedent and discouraged them from being so brazen.”
“Now get rid of Megauploader – they are busy making money off fansubs!”
“Manga is wasted on foreigners. Those outside Japan should stick to reading manhwa!”
“With a billion page views they must have been rolling in it. Best to sue them.”
“The reason it came to this is probably because this content is only that of the yellow races. They should have sued first like Nintendo. They’ve probably got used to scanlation so it’s no good now.”
“Good move. Now do it more with music and movies too.”
“It’s the fault of those idiot publishers for doing nothing. Whilst Hollywood was busy protecting its copyrights they just let it slide. You reap what you sow.”
“With the strong yen they are probably aiming to curb Japanese copying.”
“The disease has spread too far – the market seems to be collapsing like that of anime. It’ll be layoffs and bankruptcies from here on.”
“They enjoy making scanlations – it’s like a club activity to them.”
“It’s like that for fansubs too, but they’re all saying they are helping propagate them. Even the guys writing ero-doujinshi don’t think like that.”
“If you don’t release simultaneously with the Japanese release they will pirate them. They are that committed.”
“They get them even faster than the Japanese regions do. It’s too much…”
“What a bunch of crooks. They make a fortune off donations and advertising revenue. They pretend they are creators and heroes. I want to watch Hollywood movies and American dramas at the same time as their US release. Of course, for free.”
“Overseas manga is ridiculously expensive, so that’s probably behind One Manga’s popularity. However you look at it, ¥2,000 for a single volume is way too much.”
“If the prices drop they’ll just start using censorship as an excuse instead.”
“They wouldn’t buy even if it were cheap. Their anime is far cheaper than in Japan and they still won’t buy.”
The indignation of Japanese anime and manga fans who see themselves having to support an audience of freeloading international fans unwilling to support creators, whilst themselves paying top dollar to ensure even niche audiences can have their needs met, is perhaps not unreasonable, however unsightly its manifestation may be at times.

-Yoshinari did conceptual design, Nishigori did the finalized character design.
-The cartoony style was chosen to allow for super-violent and stylish action sequence without losing some sort of twisted cuteness.
-The whole Gurren-Lagann animation team is involved: Sushio, Chikashi Kubota, Akira Amemiya, Tadashi Hiramatsu, Shouko Nakamura, Takashi Mukouda...
-Yoh Yoshinari is trying too do as many big action sequences as he can.
-Even if action sequences are the main dish, there is some sort of story going on in the background, as well. Panty & Stocking are supposed to be "angels", but they have problems with the bosses at "Heaven". Panty & Stocking's "Heaven" is a "blissful and peaceful" place filled with politeness, rules and pretending. Panty & Stocking are characters are extremely honest and don't go around "pretending" just for politeness: if Panty thinks someone is hot, she won't go around bullshiting her way by claiming she likes him for his personality and will just tell him that she wants to fuck him; if Stocking thinks someone is being annoying, she won't quietly ignore it, she will make sure, usually by force, that whoever is being annoying stops being annoying. Why hasn't "Heaven" gotten rid of them? Because they're some of the strongest angels around and they need them to fight against the monsters called "Ghosts" that "Hell" is sending to terrorize Earth.
-They managed to get a broadcaster that promised them to let them do whatever they wanted with no censorship whatsoever. The show will begin its run in October 2010.

Does not compute
I use Netflix and Hulu for all my legal anime watching these days and the odd purchase here and there.
subbers do it quicker and better for free
whats the incentive to wait months for a shit dub again
indeed, no one has to justify themself - least of all to the board mong
Why the fuck aren't all series just put out in boxes by default? Like I'm going to buy a fuck-ton of two episode packages? Like I'm fucking going to import like 13 dvds for once series? fuck no. Himu should kill the anime industry quicker so it can be restarted by someone with some fucking sense.
You like michiko and hatchin so much you'd buy it? Damn I must have missed something watching that show.
You like michiko and hatchin so much you'd buy it? Damn I must have missed something watching that show.I really did like it, yeah. I guess if you didn't feel the characters then it's probably not too fun, and there were some people claiming the pace gets dodgy at certain points, but I felt it had a great sense of "episodic stories contained within a greater adventure" thing going on. And I loved the characters, that probably has a lot to do with an ex of mine being absurdly similar to Michiko's personality.
I bought a bunch of One Piece manga, some Tezuka manga, some Tatsumi manga, and a bunch of other manga graphic novels in the past few months.
Last anime I bought was Gundam Unicorn and before that, Cowboy Bebop Remix and a bunch of One Piece boxsets.
Yeah. I don't watch anime really at all anymore.
One of the few times Himumu-chan isn't at fault. Fucking Harmony Gold.
BTW, distant, the Gundam movie trilogy is already out? I need to pick that up.
:o
0079 TRILOGY RERELEASE?!?!?!
Man, I wish the original Gundam series would get a box set release, even if it's sub-only. I skipped the original DVDs because they only included the dub. :(
Also, the original Gundam Movie Trilogy is readily available at Amazon for $32, I don't know why Himumu is so hyped over it.
Hey peoples is Macross Frontier any good?
Has the CCA blu-ray come out in America yet? I remember seeing screen shots of it a long time ago and wanted it bad.
:o
0079 TRILOGY RERELEASE?!?!?!
I'm talking about the Zeta Gundam Movie Trilogy. I think the 0079 trilogy is getting another rerelease this Fall, though.
How do you not already have it? It's had like two or three releases already since 2001.

I just bought the Zeta Gundam movie trilogy on archaic DVD. Rest of the year I'll be buying Gundam UC vol. 2, FMA Brotherhood vol. 2 and Eden of the East on Blu-ray. That's the most anime I've bought in a long long time.

Episode 1 - Wait, these action scenes are pretty good. Wait, this is going to be a harem show? Wait, all this guy's girl friends are actually terrorists or agents? Wait, this is actually kind of good, what's going on?!
Episode 2 - Ugh, harem nonsense, get back to the scifi and the action. Oh something's happening! Now it's over. Uhh...not sure what to think here. Okay, now...wait, what? UGH this is so stupid. Okay, it's almost over now. Oh what the heck? MORE cat aliens? UGH UGH UGH. This is going south fast. Well, it's over. Maybe the next episode will be better somehow.
Episode 3 - UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH this is so horrible. Everything about this is horrible. This can't possibly be any more horrible. Harem nonsense, school swimsuits, utter stupidity at every step. This is beyond trash. Oh wait, two of the female characters have now engaged in an action scene at night while completely nude? :rofl Yeah, okay, thanks AIC, but no thanks.
I can't believe I let them sucker me into thinking this was somehow going to be anything other than absolute garbage.
It went from "somewhat interesting scif/action/romance with a bit of promise" to "fanservice vehicles designed to sell DVDs/Blurays to lonely otaku" in the span of two episodes. Are there really enough people in Japan that will pay $30 per 2 episodes of detailed crotch shots and shower scenes to justify the existence of this show?
All you really need is Eva 1.11 and Funimation has said that this time around they're only going to release Eva 2.22.
yeah, Evangelion 2.22 (or whatever they called it) is really great. Makes the, what, 2 or 3 year wait for the next really hard.
I'm not denying it probably isn't good, but the movie of the year? Does this encompass live action as well or just animated?
Eva 2.22 = film of the year?
No, the first three were grohotun, but the fourth was BSS. I didn't mind the babelfish - got the gist of it and I'm mostly in it for the electric shenanigans anyway.OVAs are the missing parts from season 2 like
Fourth episode was really fun - I guess this OVA was supposed to connect the first and second seasons? I never finished the second one and the various anime connoisseurs around the internet are quite down on it so I thought maybe it was a retcon or something.
If the manga is still going I'm assuming they'll be making more? A third season maybe?
I feel so lost. I dunno what's out or worth watching anymore. How many DtB OVAs are out and how many are left?Season 2 + OVA are done. Series is basically finished.

Will buy you this if you do.
In another words, prequel or like you said a bridge between the first and second season.I like my moe tension free - like eating cakes and shit, but I guess the little Russian lassie wasn't too bad. kinda creepy how she birthed a rifle every time she got into some shit though...
I say watch season 2, it has it's awesome parts (read: the action) and the moe is covered with Suou (you like K-On so you should like her anyway.)
Or read the manga when it's done, set before the OVA and season 2.

Never seen DtB. Gonna check it out.I envy you. Enjoy the ride.
The second half of Demon King Daimao begins with perhaps the single worst episode of anime it has ever been my misfortune to watch. It starts off innocuously enough: The usual harem nonsense, unconvincing "emotional" turns, and generalized unevenness in full attendance, along with the rumblings of magical combat and the eternal hope that maybe it'll tackle Akuto's Demon King problem head-on. All very normal. And then Mr. X shows up and the episode goes straight to hell—faux Go Nagai-style. Shadows become pronounced, Akuto's muscles swell to Schwarzeneggerian proportions, everything gets angular, and Mr. X immediately kidnaps kid sister Yukiko and starts licking her armpits. A giant sea slug is raised from a lake and sicced on a nearby town, and Hiro acquires the world's ugliest, and most weirdly perverse, power suit, which he directs at the sea slug in a series of Mazinger maneuvers. It's obviously meant as some sort of parody, but it isn't funny or clever so much as bewildering and disturbing. Give the series credit for thinking outside the box, but sometimes the box is there to keep you from wandering naked into disasterland.
That foray into disasterland is the series' death-knell. Prior to that episode, there was always a chance, however slim, that the series would somehow even out and salvage something compelling from the tattered mess it had made of its promising premise. After watching aesthetic atrocity Mr. X slop saliva all over his nubile captives, no such illusions remain. When the follow-up episodes bog down in some unfunny business involving an arranged marriage, when they betray Akuto's atypical intelligence by having him act the dunce in a romantic farce, it's hard even to get mad anymore. This is a series so obviously off the rail, so clearly destined to become a train wreck, that you can do nothing but sit back and watch it crash and burn.
And crash it does. Having spent its first nine episodes with eyes affixed firmly to bust and buttock, having squandered every opportunity to develop its plot and left its (relatively) strong cast to atrophy while it amused itself with dropping them into dumb rom-com situations that challenged them not in the least, the series is left with three measly episodes to cram in a finale. A villain is introduced—a time-hopping pretty boy—and one of the girls is put in mortal danger (Keena), which forces Akuto to fully assume the role of Demon King. This puts him at odds with Junko and newly hero-ized Hiro, even as a divine (as in hatched by the gods) conspiracy is implicated in his dark destiny.
It isn't a terrible set-up for a climax, but the restricted time frame—made all the more so by the occasional return to romantic complications best left in limbo—leaves it no space to unfold. Events are mashed up against one another like frightened sardines in a particularly small can, and you can practically see the series eyeing its watch as it plows through emotional confrontations, stripping them of all resonance. The pace is hectic, the progression of events is sloppy, and betrayals of character are common as there is no time to sufficiently justify anyone's behavior. The effect is disastrous, lending even the most obviously premeditated events an air of pulled-from-the-rear randomness. Akuto's long-anticipated transformation in particular is so flagrantly unconvincing that it fairly burns the enjoyment out of the entire climax. And then, just to bake the ashes a little more, the series reaches for the reset button, looks you right in the eye, and presses it. Crash. Burn. And with any luck, never return.
So catastrophic is the narrative self-destruction that it's difficult to honestly enjoy even the non-plot-dependent qualities. The pervasive high-end fan-service becomes a hindrance during the climax, time being an endangered resource even before panty shots start eating it up. The way the intrusive censorship yanks us out of the fights doesn't help either. From a purely technical perspective, the fights themselves are excellent. Their mix of impact-heightening shortcuts, punchy intercutting, smartly-deployed animation, and magical CGI glitz is rock-solid, and the inclusion of the student council and various ninjas and villains mixes things up nicely. But while undeniably cool, they aren't very interesting—a direct consequence of us not caring whether the participants live or are reduced to ectoplasm.
A similar argument can be made about Tatsuya Katou's score. It has some wonderfully hammy flourishes up its sleeve, particularly on the orchestral fantasy and modern rock ends of its sonic spectrum. But they're utterly wasted once the series runs amuck and splatters itself on its own finale.
There is one thing you can take from this particular wreck—a little lesson of sorts about what happens when you use fan-service, not as a spice, but as a meal unto itself. Allow the purveyance of naked girl-flesh to edge out basic storytelling, and like Demon King Daimao, chances are you'll choke.

"You can laugh at it now," comments executive producer Mata Yamamoto in an interview on the DVD, "but it was the first time we'd used computer graphics in a Japanese film. It took more than a million dollars to make it happen!"

The United States Armed Forces in Japan have announced on Monday that they are collaborating with the Maritan manga creators to publish a manga celebrating the 50-year alliance between America and Japan. The official blog of the Maritan manga franchise confirmed the news. Artist Yukio Hirai is best known for Mahō no Kaiheitai Pixel☆Maritan (Magical Marine Pixel*Maritan), the manga/CD set that teaches Japanese people how to talk like a U.S. Marine — with profanity.
The first of four Our Alliance — A Lasting Partnership (Watashi-tachi no Dōmei — Eizoku-teki Partnership) issues will be released exclusively in Japanese at noon this Wednesday. The remaining issues are slated for later this year. Maritan's "Col. Ayabe" is responsible for the story scenario and text in this new manga, and other Maritan contributors also worked on the illustrations. The manga officially marks "the 50th Anniversary of the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between the United States and Japan" with a story about a Japanese girl named Anzu Arai and Usa-kun, an American boy visiting Japan.
Finished the Monster manga. Loved the last two books but hated the actual end of the final book.
Not big on the ending myself. Urusawa struggles with endings and this is why I'm dreading finishing Pluto.
Junpei, serious question:
Are you interested in the Thermae Romae manga purely because of the vast quantity of naked men in it, or does the story/art appeal to you?
I have a couple of Eiji Otsuka mangas to catch up on, but after that, I might actually buy this, cos it seems quite interesting.

Angel Beats ep9 was surprisingly good. It was the flashback ep about the MC's full backstory. Even for KEY that was a really depressing backstory. MAN TEARS
Despite the generic look, the show really deals with a lot of heavy issues. On one hand I want them to be happy, but otoh not knowing what lies ahead after death/disappearance is :\ Dunno how this will have a non-tear jerker ending. Yurippe is already a super sorrowful character, living eternally while hating herself for the death of her siblings. Sad sad show :'(

Keima Katsuragi, a second-year high school student, is an avid galge gamer. He is known on the Internet as "The Capturing God" for his legendary skills to be able to "capture" any 2D girl in games. However, in his actual school life, Keima is known as otamegane (オタメガネ), a derogatory portmanteau of the two words otaku (オタク) and megane (メガネ-"glasses").
At the start of the series, Keima receives an e-mail offering him a contract to "capture" girls. He accepts what is thought to be a challenge, and a demon from Hell nicknamed Elsee appears. She asks for his cooperation to help her in catching the runaway spirits. These spirits hide themselves inside the girls' heart, and Elsee suggests that the only method to force the spirits out is by "capturing" their hearts—making them fall in love. Appalled by the idea, Keima refuses after clarifying to Elsee that he is only interested in "capturing" 2D girls and that he detests reality. Nevertheless, with the contract already accepted, Keima would have to help Elsee no matter what; if they fail, both Elsee and Keima would lose their heads.

Um uh yeah.
What the fuck is Star Driver? I don't watch mecha just because it has mecha in it. I watch mecha because it's either cool and awesome (Giant Robo, Gurren Lagann) or has a good story (Gundam, SDF Macross). I don't watch or play mecha stuff because I find giant robots are awesome.
It's BONES + UTENA
It's like Persona 3 except the schoolkids ride in their persona mech and fight in the galaxy or something.
actualy the last super robot show i saw was the big o which was suggested by someone in this thread (viz i believe) which yea was super cool but had no plot whatsoever
and the last real robot show i saw was code geass (also suggested by someone here) which had a plot but it was so distinguished mentally-challenged it makes me wants to kill someone
i have never seen gundam (well some random episode of wing since they did on tv here) but it always looked a bit too convoluted for my taste's (i also refuse to see anything that's bigger than 26 episode's)

well i surrended after the episode where he saves his robo friend from some crazy scientist or something
Giant Robo and Gurren Lagann are a few of the super robot shows that I find enjoyable. GaoGaiGar has some awesome moments, but it also drags so much at points that you want to blow your brains out.Shin getter armageddon was great. It was only 13-episodes so it never dragged.

First time in a while I beat MCD. Feels good man
I think if they do a S3 in college it'll be a lot more interesting because college is much more non-standard for anime. Would be even more interesting if college meant co-ed classes and the show can introduce the dynamic of MEN into the show.
A romance angle in a college S3 could help that.
well i'm in the mood for some anime so suggest!

WHY DOESN'T ALL ANIME LOOK THIS GOOD
Finished watching Ouran High School Host Club today. I would say that it's easily one of the best anime series I've seen in the past few years. It's fun and funny, with a bit of drama mixed in for a good measure. And it doesn't fall into a lot of the pitfalls that so many series lately seem to. However, it's...probably not something that someone who doesn't like anime would enjoy.I liked it a lot too, especially since they never got serious with the romance bullshit like most animes.
It's probably the last good Bones show ^^;

kuchuu blanko / Trapeze is good. It's episodic stories of people with mental problems but some of the pairings make for pretty hilarious eps like the Yakuza member who has an OCD fear of edges.

[Zero-Raws] Black Lagoon - Robertas Blood Trail - 02 (BD 1920x1080 x264 AAC).mp4
that panty & stocking anime would have been a very cool capcom game
as a 10 minute anime i guess it's cool too
Mr.Gundam and Bebpo would like SRW OG. It's filled with robot fightin and explosions, nice music too. I strangely prefer the CG explosions over the 2D ones.
The high heels + the hand on the hip gives the impression that that robot is saying something like "Ho, you better step on back from my man!"
*facepalm*The high heels + the hand on the hip gives the impression that that robot is saying something like "Ho, you better step on back from my man!"
Its worse when it fights (though it gave a mean backhand :lol)
Beezy will not be pleased, since he was the one to point it out.

I'll still check out the first ep...
I watched this season's "Queen's Blade," Samurai Girls. It has a pretty cool art style, with all the backdrops having a painted look to them. Basically this is yet another "let's take historical figures and turn them into moe girls" anime, following Ikkitousen and Koihime Musou. But instead of using Chinese warriors, this one goes with Japanese Sengoku era figures like Sanada Yukimura and Hattori Hanzo. The latter has been turned into a somewhat ditzy MAID NINJA who is forced go down on her female master...uh, yeah.
But amazingly, what sets this apart from the rest is that the main character IS A MALE. :o :o :o :o And he's cool. :o :o :o :o And he can fight better than the girls can. :o :o :o :o And he has a personality. :o :o :o :o And he doesn't get all stupid when there's moe-moe-harem crap happening. :o :o :o :o I wonder how long that will last. Anyway it turns out he too is related to a pretty famous historical figure, whose female incarnation shows up at the very end.
So I guess I would put this as being closer to Ikkitousen, meaning it has ecchi everywhere but that is not the entire focus of the show. I was also really surprised that the show was focusing on a guy-- you'd never know he was even in the show if you've ever seen any promotional art for this. :lol
Guess next up is Star Driver.
my little sister cant be this cutespoiler (click to show/hide)is really cute and amusing
also I could see people finding this show kinda creepy
anyway I like it /no pedo[close]
K-on!! 26 was really good! It had lots of great comedy and a strong finish to the series.

I'm gonna miss this show :'(

I'm watching this too. It's definitely amusing so far. The sub group missed that the historical figure whose name the main guy was scribbling out in class had the kanji for "sister" in his name though.
I LOVE how there's a family conversation with the main guy saying he wants to watch some anime and his parents are like "that's what those otaku watch, isn't it? Don't go polluting your mind with that filth." :lol
Star Driver was darn good. Awesome Nakamura block breaking animation during the fight scene.
Story is generic Bones robo show, but the production is that excellent kind of art/animation/music/directing that no one else besides Bones can do anymore. They're the only studio channeling the quality of 90s top-tier anime. Which makes sense since Bones = the people who made all the top tier shows in the 90s at Sunrise.
I'll pick it up eventually during a sale. But I already paid like $7 an ep off PSN when it aired (so like $150?) so I'm not in the mood to spend more cash on it atm.
Yeah, every year I become less hardcore of anime fan. My current self would slap my 2 years ago self for spending that much renting episodes.
And for the same reason I am refusing to spend $47 on Unicorn ep2. $60 MSRP is ridiculous for an OAV ep. It's one thing for a classic feature film like Honneamise or Jin-Roh, but for an ep that (if it's anything like ep1) has pretty crap TV animation outside the mecha action...no way. First Gundam I'm not gonna buy. I may have to turn in my Gundam badge.
Although I should warn that if you make it through S1, S2 stops being a story of a band and becomes a slice of life comedy about nothing outside a few poignant parts.

yeah, I don't know if Season 2 picks up, but what I've seen of it wasn't very good. I saw all of Season 1 in about a week. I have been stuck on episode 6 of Season 2 for over a month.
Fun little series, but Azumanga Daioh is still the reigning champ of this slice-of-life stuff.
I finished K-On! and it felt like nothing but slice-of-life stuff, with the band parts only being a minor part of it. It was mostly のんびり if I can get all weeaboo for a second, to the point that the few serious parts didn't fit in well. Also what the hell was up with them having multiple beach and Xmas episodes? It's like they ran out of episode ideas fast. Fun little series, but Azumanga Daioh is still the reigning champ of this slice-of-life stuff.
Will watch K-On!! next, but may wait since the wife is now interested in it too, but she only watched the first two eps.
Mr. Gundam, I don't think Star Driver was that bad in that respect. Sure it was more teen-bopy than the first ep of Raxephon or Eureka Seven, but all Bones robo shows start of with a teen kid, a romance interest, jokes, and then GIANT ROBOT -> BATTLE at the end of the ep. I don't think calling the show out on having those elements at the start really means much for the show in the long run. That being said, I do think they are going for more of a Ouran High School x Rahxephon thing with Star Driver. So I expect it to be fairly silly and light until the later parts. Kind of like how in Utena they fight every ep but no one ever dies IIRC. My only disappointment about Star Driver ep1 was that it wasn't as stylish as Ouran or Utena.
NYCC stuff:http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-10-09/bandai-ent-adds-1st-gundam-tv-with-english-subs
Gundam Unicorn DVD = 2eps for $30 retail

So much bullshit. Will wait for Blu-ray box set of all 6 for $99
-Also, K-on! licensed. 4 Blu-ray set; $35 each, or $45 LE with cd; probably just ep1-15 (S1)
-Girl who Lept Through Time Blu-ray coming.
-First Gundam Blu-ray, 2 box sets for all 42 eps

That show with the squid girl is pretty funny, it's very reminiscent of Sgt. Frog.
I went with KSH but its not perfect, typos here and there but does the job.Go with whatever you want.-_-
The World Only God Knows - a demon from hell pairs up with a kid who is the master of dating sims to win the hearts of actual women. She didn't know he was only good at dating sims so its a pretty funny mistake. He then applies his dating sim skills to real life to some success. Funny and interesting, another one to watch I think.
Last but not least:
Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru - Very different show from everything else that is airing, slow, funny, above average voice acting. this show is about a struggling maid cafe, the main character is terrible at her job and her otaku best friend shows her how its done right. 5/5
Is panty and stocking a clever parody?

The best part of it is the main girl's actress who is so good (she was Maka in Soul Eater). Although apparently a large portion of the anime fanbase refuse to watch any show with her because they find her voice grating.
Bakuman is alright but everyone talks with one eye closed. It's really annoying.
And apparently the people working on the shows (tl, editors, etc...) all lost their jobs
man, fuck the guy who hacked their site just to get the show 1 day early.

watched all of kuchu buranko....
i got somewhat bored at the end,it's different and interessing yet there is no real plot and each episode more or less ends "and everybody lived happily ever after!" by the last episode it's lost is novelty and every episode start to feel the same

Character driven show with your usual emotional breakdowns. Recommended.
Ore no Imouto is such a weird show. It's a pretty good innocent family friendly mainstream comedy about hardcore loliporn :S
It's one of those things that, even if its good, you can't really recommend to anyone irl.

It's about a guy whose sister is obsessed with loliporn games.
Also, it's hard to call it "innocent, family-friendly mainstream comedy" after The Scene in episode 4, where the creators go "Oh, yeah, we're supposed to be making THAT kind of show" and it gets real stupid for a few minutes.
Also Super Robot Wars OG has like the worst art I've seen in while and I've seen Iron Man. Every frame is off. Nothing is consistent at all and the nudity fanservice is gross and overdone.

It's not any worse than stuff like Love Hina. Ore no Imouto is a mainstream comedy that's fairly well directed with good pacing, good animation, likeable characters, and a quirky subject. It's just a show that's kind of awkward to discuss because to a degree the intended audience is icecream.

How can you even let that phase you if you've watched anime anytime in the last 2 decades.
Eva has it
I'm pretty about 95% of legitimate anime shows have a scene where a guy falls on a girl and is grabbing her boob. Again, I don't see how that can lower your opinion of a show. Maybe it every joke was a boob joke or something, but 4 eps in and one grab the boob joke is not really a big deal at all.
How can you even let that phase you if you've watched anime anytime in the last 2 decades.
Oh, if this was Samurai Girls or whatever's the latest harem show, I wouldn't be. But I thought, perhaps wrongfully, that maybe Ore no Imouto was just a LITTLE BIT better than that. Apparently not!

Seriously? In a show where the plot revolves around A DUDE'S YOUNGER SISTER PLAYING LITTLE SISTER PORN GAMES AND WANTING HER BROTHER TO TRY THEM? :wtf

I haven't watched P&S #5yet, but just went skipped to a part in the second half of that episode...so it's like what South Park did with their April Fools episode? Different characters...hell, different art style? Awesome! :lol

Ika Musume
Soredemo Machi
Panty and Stocking
Ore no Imouto
Kuragehim and Star Driver are supposed to be pretty good too, although I haven't watched them yet.

Didn't watch Ika Musume but did scan the first ep and found the ending hilarious.
Just watched Ouran High School Host Club on Netflix at the recommendation of a friend. It was pretty funny, I enjoyed it. Also watched Full Metal Panic! for the first time not long ago. Suggest similar, anyone?

Did you just watch the first season of Full Metal Panic? Because, if so, make sure you watch Full Metal Panic Fumoffu, it's absolutely hilarious.
Also, The Wallflower has a somewhat similar setup as Ouran and a lot of the same kind of humor.
they definitely used up some major animation budget this week

Sounds pretty awesome, I'll check it out.
Plenty of good anime!
Panty show - not for everyone (I think its stupid) but even if you dislike it, it's worth 20 mins of your life each week just to appreciate the art/animation.
Star Driver - pacing is episodic monster of the week, but awesome action/mecha and eventually like every super robot of the week show it'll get really good before it ends. Plus it'll be in SRW one day so it's good to watch.
Sore demo machi wa matteru - best comedy. Nonstop hilarious after the first 2eps which are less funny because they setup the plotlines.
Imouto show - entertaining. It's not artistic, it's not offensive, not bad, but every aspect is competent so it's enjoyable in the same way Densha Otoko was enjoyable because it focuses on real world super nerd culture.
Jellyfish Princess - ok. I don't like the art designs much (too shoujo), but it's entertaining and not dumb or offensive.
Arakawa under the Bridge season 2 - I'm still watching S1 but the show is great, so unless it gets bad S2 should be good as well!
Super Robot Wars OG2 - no this isn't actually good anime, I'm just listing it because I like SRW!
Previous 2010 shows you could always watch if you haven't seen:
-Tatami Galaxy - best show this year
-Angel Beats - it comes off as generic at first, but it's actually pretty neat
-House of Five Leaves - can't vouch for but I heard it's good
-Katanagatari - can't vouch for but the source material at least is by a great writer and the art looks kind of like Okami meets Gainax.

Mr. Gundam-san, how complete is this? like, what are the contents exactly?
Sakigake!! Otokojuku takes place at the fictional academy Otokojuku, founded by WWII hero Edajima Heihachi, where students undergo rigorous physical challenges to become real men, and play an active role in politics, economics, and industry all over Japan and the world. The story focuses on the mysterious first-year Tsurugi Momotaro, a mysterious dropout from a prestigious school, who resolves the problems of the other first years, all while enduring the rigorous training that the malicious teachers impose on him.

Anyone know a good Higurashi no naku koro ni site that has detailed summaries for each arc? I kind of want to watch the 2nd season since I never finished the story, but I don't remember much about the first since it's been a bunch of years.
Wow, I have GitS SAC on my HD right now, but never bothered with it since all I keep hearing is that it's more confusing than the first's final 5 episodes.
i will never understand how someone has the patience to sit trough a 110 episode anime :-\It's no different from going through 5 seasons of a TV show that has like 20 45-mins. long episodes.
It's been a long time since I saw and enjoyed a decent anime, and since I've been out of the loop for so long I need some recommendations. The only requirements are:
- Good story and characters.
- Good art style.
- Mecha would be a nice bonus.

I was very happy to find out that Panty & Stocking is gonna be 26 episodes long! :D
The anime series is animated by Gainax and directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi, began airing in Japan October 1, 2010, and is expected to have 26 episodes. The series' animation is done in a distinct style resembling and homaging North American cartoons, much different than Gainax's previous works. The series also has a lot of sexual themes in each episode. Following the broadcast of Imaishi's previous project, Gurren Lagann, the show's staff went on a trip for rest and relaxation. At that time, they aired their opinions to each other under drunken and humorous circumstances, saying such things as "Next time, I want to try this" in regards to approaches to animation. Almost all of the concept for the anime was made during the initial trip; the names of main characters, 'Panty' and 'Stocking' were coined at the very first meeting. The theme of the anime is 'vulgar and indecent jokes', with Imaishi saying, "If we are going to do this, we will try it thoroughly."[3] The series' musical score is composed by Taku Takahashi of M-Flo. The opening theme is "Theme for Panty & Stocking", performed by Hoshina Anniversary, and the ending theme is "Fallen Angel", performed by Aimee B. The original soundtrack will be released on December 29, 2010.[4]
It was just an excuse to sell more loli figures.
Well, if the hardcore fans are to be believe, this could be the death knell:

Maybe I responded quickly, but I still find about 98% of modern manga/anime seriously creepy.
One manga has already been banned [by the publisher] because it features characters wearing school uniforms and the law hasn't even passed yet!
There aren't violent games on the level that there were during the PS2 era. No way. Now we get stuff like Sigma 2 with purple blood or all these games where you fight robots/aliens.
And when you say T&A, you don't mean actual nudity/sex. Because there is none in Japanese console games despite western games putting it in more and more.

To be real men.
Moe needs to be eradicated, but the new bill is way too heavy-handed and would potentially destroy the manga industry.
Unfortunately, the whole moe thing has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly on Wednesday enacted an ordinance that vastly expands a law meant to restrict people younger than 18 from purchasing or flipping through manga depicting rape, sex crimes, incest and “sexually explicit acts and graphic images that are not acceptable morally.” By making previous rules broader and more clear, the Tokyo government will have the authority to deem more manga as “unwholesome books,” which restrict where and how they can be sold.
A group of 10 major Japanese publishers, including Kodansha Ltd., Shueisha Inc. and Kadokawa Group Publishing Co., said they will refuse to take part in the anime fair, which this year attracted more than 100,000 people, a record. The publishers said that the Tokyo government, led by Gov. Shintaro Ishihara, didn’t discuss the ordinance in advance with publishers and artists. Artists said the new rules will stifle their freedom of expression and creativity.
Bill 156 would require the industry to also regulate "manga, anime, and other images (except for real-life photography)" that "unjustifiably glorify or exaggerate" certain sexual or pseudo sexual acts. Another section of the revised bill would allow the government to directly regulate the above images if the depicted acts are also "considered to be excessively disrupting of social order" such as rape.
Want to know what the definition of irony is? The main supporter of this bill, the governor of Tokyo, is known for writing national best-sellers that feature girls being raped and killed by men. His books are available in most bookstores and can be purchased by children.

what's that?
trigun movie is out, just not subbed yet
B-Gata H Kei does not belong with the rest of those "Mind Poison" awards. It was good stuff.
I thought Panty Stocking was a lame show, but I know I'm in the minority there so you guys can continue fapping. The music montages were about 10x better then every other scene in the show. Why? Because the dialogue is fucking awful, the "stories" are stupid, and the characters are all 1 dimensional. The Garterbelt flashback story was probably the best part in the entire show. They should have done P&S as a music video dvd like Gurren Parallel Works instead of as a TV show. The animation and art is fantastic, but the show is just mediocre as hell. All the cursing, sperm, feces, piss, puke seemed to have no point but to try to be COOL OFFENSIVE. Basically felt like a show written by a jr. high school thug whose trying to rebel. I find the show more embarrassing to anime than most of the moe/harem genre.
also if you didnt watch arakawa under the bridge x2 you are all that is wrong with the world, kill yourselves
I've accepted that I'm out of touch with the modern anime fan. They like watching animated women take off their panties, yell fuck a lot, and run around covered in feces while puking.
I'll stick to my intelligent, tactful or mecha shows.

Soredemo machi troll ending was pretty great. Show ended up being really good. I'd say it's the 2nd best thing Shaft has done behind Bakemonogatari. If they do another season down the road it'll be cool, if they don't it's a great show as is.

I'd like to see an AU Gundam that is like MEDIEVAL GUNDAM or something where it's all sword fighting and very few beams. Basically make it like Escaflowne.

Bones B studio announced the biggest anime of 2011 Towa no Kuon
B studio is their real studio that makes the ridiculous animation awesome action original epics.
B studio's past record
---------------------
Bebop Movie
Rahxephon
Mars Daybreak
Scrapped Princess
Skullman
Eureka Seven
Sword of the Stranger
Xam'd
Basically the big hitters. They're not always great (Xam'd plot was a horrible disaster that made no sense) but they're awesome to watch. This is what they've been making since Xam'd finished. So it should be rad. It will have mechs and people and action and stuff. It was originally being directed by the guy who did Gundam 08th team until he died last November. Now it's being finished by some other Bones regular who was the guy under him. The character designers are by the Cowboy Bebop, Gundam 08th, Wolfs Rain guy. The visual effects director is Nakamura who is the guy who animates all the crazy 10 seconds of "better than movie" animation in the best Bones eps/movies. He did the final fight in Stranger for example and Soul Eater ep1 action. This seems to indicate he will have a constant involvement in the show so the animation should be TOP NOTCH. At best this should be similar to the animation quality of the first half of E7 or Xam'd and hopefully the plot will make sense.
HYPE!
Should I watch this new Haruhi movie? I watched the original season back in the day and didn't really like it but it had some interesting aspects. Didn't watch the 2nd troll season but heard about the trolling. Haven't heard anything about the film, but I do like good animation and kyoani has good tv animation so I'd imagine a movie would look pretty nice.

New GEASS series? i had no idea.
(http://i.imgur.com/0R9BI.jpg)
I'll watch the Trigun movie at some point when I have that much time free (same with Haruhi film), but I'm not hyped at all because the Trigun manga turned into such steaming pile of shit by the end. I loved the original Trigun TV so I read the manga and it was even more awesome and then I kept reading the manga over the years as it kept going and getting worse and worse and worse and by the end I didn't care about any of the stupid sci-fi crap going on and the ending sucked. Hopefully they never try to animate the entire thing.
Is Redline any good? I passed up an opportunity to see it in theaters.
Maybe this is why I bailed on Macross F and haven't really given any of the long Macross series a fair shake, heroes shooting one million missiles at 1000 enemies is just not very interesting for me. I want 1 on 1 or 3 on 1 type battles.
Also the dumbest part of the OO movie not counting the ending which is so dumb it's broken the charts and can't really be compared on a realistic scale is the part with the new INNOVATER guy who looks all evil looking and then the aliens circle his mech into a big cloud ball and you think they're going to turn it evil and take control of it/him and have him fight Setsuna in the movies big 1 on 1 overpowered mecha fight and then...you never see him again :lolThat what they wanted you to believe before watching the movie - a red herring.
Setsuna piloting a flag was actually pretty lame. It felt like they were just copying what happened in Endless Waltz, except without any point. In Endless Waltz, Heero was in his Leo up against the chinaman in his beefed up Altron Gundam and manages to hold his own. It makes Heero seem like a capable pilot even when he's not piloting a super mobile suit like a Gundam, especially when put up a more powerful opponent that he didn't want to harm. Unlike in the 00 movie, it wasn't planned since it was an escape and the Gundams were off to be destroyed. In the 00 movie, they're in a flag while they have two Gundam in perfect condition plus the 00 Raiser w/energy pack that Setsuna rides out in later on. Instead it's just a scene where he destroys some scrub enemies with a flag we don't see ever again. Maybe it was there to provide at least one mech against mech battle since the rest is fighting uninteresting pieces of metal...They already explained why they didn't want to use Gundams, keeping a low profile etc...

- The birth of ichigo is surrounded in mystery since it's very special. The readers will be amazed when they eventually learn about it! He is eager to see their reaction.
- The Arrancar arc wasn't originally meant to be long. It's thanks to the craze of the Japanese fans for the Arrancars, without it, the arc would have been shorter.
- Female characters that kubo prefers are Matsumoto and Inoue.
- Male characters that Kubo prefers are Mayuri and Aizen.
- The end of the Arrancar arc should have been the end of Bleach if it didn't work and if the publisher had asked Kubo to finish the manga quickly. (Like before the start of the SS arc, because Bleach was threatened at that time)

Freezing
Evangelion by way of Gunparade March. It trades in equal parts somber drama, violent action, and fanservice, managing to miss a least some of the pitfalls that most shows from recent years happily leap directly into. The first episode at least shows some desire not to indulge in pointless hijinks and blank-slate male characters, although we'll see whether that willingness continues into future episodes as well. The first episode wasn't great, but it had an interesting premise and a surrounding aura ambition that does give some hope that it could become great. It does have a lot of fanservice, though.

I was about to watch this based on your description and then I saw some pics....all women cast of girl fights with tons of fanservice? Not my thing :(
I was looking over the Winter slate again and it's really a pretty blah season. There aren't many new shows and most of them look like crap. Not even many ep1s I'm willing to give a shot. Only shows I will try ep1 are: Madoka, Fractale, Gosick, Wandering Boy and of those 4 I'll probably only make it to ep3 on 2 of them :(
Spring can't come soon enough. Winter is another "get through backlog" season.
tl;dr It's another harem show.
I think Infinite Stratos is about mecha and I hope that's better
Second half is about the boy and his sister and how he runs in and catches her naked. So now that we have all type of fetish fanservice present, including incest, you wonder what will happen next? well the episode preview seems to bring in bondage. If you're into that stuff, maybe check out Freezing.

Adding fanservice at points when there wasn't really any, enhancing some to ridiculous levels, etc.

The manga makes the story ok as MCD (love the fighting since can be brutal as hell) but with how their doing the anime its gonna be arkward if they keep piling on such fanservice. :lol
plus its not really a harem either.

I'll watch the second episode to see how it turns out, but I got a bit ahead of myself with that post [I was writing as I was watching the episode, instead of waiting until it was actually over].
Second or third episode should be better if they handled the rooffightRAPE well.
I stopped reading after that because there weren't many chapters scanlated yet.
Isn't that full of spoilers? not that I care anyway, will be waiting for it to end.
wow, the Haruhi movie was really good.
Surprised that it was close to 3 hours long and only felt slow in the last fourth or fifth of it. The first half was definitely the best and I went from "I haven't seen anything Haruhi in a long time and I wasn't a big fan of the series" to "goddamn this is engrossing."
I want to watch the second season of the anime now. I vaguely remember some weird way the episodes were played.
I don't even know what that is so it's all cool, UC daddy.Isn't that full of spoilers? not that I care anyway, will be waiting for it to end.

It was actually the next manga I was going to read and I had no idea they were going to make an anime adaptation of it.
It wasn't on any of the "upcoming anime lists" I saw.
that zombie show is pretty good
I actually don't think the fanservice was bad at all since it seems to be parodying mahou shoujo shows. A lot of the fanservice that happened earlier in the episode was to give context to gags later in the episode.Basically it just doesn't come off as pandering like it did in that shit show freezing.spoiler (click to show/hide)Like the panty shot of the girl only to see a similar shot when the guy is cross dressing at the end.[close]
why would you need another mahou shoujo show when you have madoka magika though

I really like Star Driver. Depending on how it goes for the 2nd half it could be my favorite Bones show since Eureka Seven.This is why you will never be bro-tier, Bebpo.

I plan to watch that one day.
Watching Full Metal Alchemist on netflix. Got the Samurai X OVAs, the rest of Angel Cop, and High School of the Dead lined up.
Not sure why, I'm on a big anime kick lately. Guess I'm enjoying some "turn your brain off" entertainment!
The original Japanese language version of Angel Cop is controversial for its Anti-Semitic plot points. In the original Japanese, it is revealed that the Jews are the main threat to Japan's standard of living, and are trying to sabotage the country's economy and turn it into a dumping ground for radioactive material.
When Manga Entertainment adapted Angel Cop into English, they removed all traces of Anti-Semitism from not only the dub, but the subtitled version as well, instead an American owned corporation is responsible.
I have not been able to find out much about the history of Angel Cop, though it must be a strange tale, as there was a break of several years halfway through the show (likely an indication of funding problems), and the six-parts took a total of five years to be produced. As this is the first anime title I've ever written about that doesn't even have a Japanese Wikipedia entry, it can't possibly have been well-loved in its country of origin. This, despite a manga adaptation in Newtype 100%.
Strangely, some of anime's true all-stars came out to work on Angel Cop, including character designer Nobuteru Yuuki (Escaflowne, Paradise Kiss), animation director Yasuomi Umetsu (Kite, Mezzo DSA) and director Ichiro Itano (Megazone 23 II, Gantz). Itano loves his gore, as he showcased in his directorial debut -- the deeply upsetting Violence Jack -- and here he reunited with screenwriter Noboru "Shou" Aikawa (Fullmetal Alchemist. Twelve Kingdoms, Nadesico) to come up with this... this... act of pubescent nihilism.
To date, I have not heard either of them talk about this title or their reasons for making it, but most people would find their original intentions to be pretty offensive. In the end, it's discovered that the top levels of Japanese government have sold out to the Jews that took over America, and having successfully plundered Vietnam and Iraq for the sake of money, these Jews are going to turn Japan into Asia's nuclear waste dump.
Yes. That makes no sense, is patently anti-American, anti-Semitic, ethnocentric, Japanese imperialist, vile, and above all, dumb. But that's okay. The subtitle track on Manga Video's DVD tones this down a bit and the dub does away with it entirely. Us evil Jews Americans would never know the difference!
Madoka ep2 was great. The persona worlds are pretty awesome. It's sort of like kuchuu blanko artstyle used in a mainstream persona-ish way. Nice music too.
For the last 2 years or so Shaft's been pretty consistently good. They've really come a looooong way from their startup.

I think you were the one who brought my attention to that show!
and the first few eps didn't disappoint (I'm watching the ridiculous english swearing dub.) I'm gonna have to watch them again for the anti-semitic shit :lol I didn't notice that at all (and being raised jewish, I usually notice those kinds of themes.) I was paying more attention to the robocop and blade runner fan service, I guess. Not that I care, it just adds to the show's craziness.
Freezing - Episode 2
This is a series overflowing with brutal violence [towards girls] and pointless fanservice, but neither of those things are the problem. So what's the problem? The dough-faced little twit-burger that acts as the main male character. He's the biggest dull-eyed little punk I've ever seen. In almost every scene he stands with his mouth agape like friggen goldfish and so far has done nothing even remotely worthy of note except turning the awesomely-cool main female character into a blushing pile of goo. I guess I'll watch the second half of this episode anyway, but I can't imagine anything's going to happen to salvage either of these two hopelessly infuriating characters.
Fake Edit: Oh, totally didn't see this coming: the dough-faced boy is lightly slapped, causing the one girl to Hulk-out and totally trash this other chick.

For me it is Level E only right now. I have to check out Wandering Boy, Madoka and Fractale still.
Beelzebub seems like straight gag show; if I really wanted that, I'd start Gintama already. The zombie show is funny but it might fall into the Hayate no Gotoku area where it wears thin after a few episodes.
Oh, and I'm still watching Bakuman. I'll probably drop it since an anime version is a bit pointless and I'm caught up with the manga.
Not really feeling the second episode of Beelzebub, just feels like a lot of the same jokes as the first episode repeated [and repeated]. Unless episode 3 is really good, I'll probably drop it.
Soul Eater was awesome until the last few episodes, which were doo-doo.
I think Bones is really inconsistent for the most part, even within the same series. Jyu Oh Sei and Chiko both had great starts and middles, then they just had a huge drop. The same is true for Eureka Seven, Xam'd, FMA, etc. but the decline is slower there. Then there is Heroman and the Eureka Seven movie :-X
oh, and rahxephon put me to sleep faster than when I washed down an ambien with some nyquil.

The North American anime distributor Funimation has informed ANN that the Fractale Production Committee — the Japanese copyright holders of the Fractale television anime series — has forced the company to halt its simulcast of Fractale after only one episode. According to Funimation representatives, the committee requested that Funimation eliminates unauthorized videos of the anime on the Internet — including streaming sites, file-sharing networks, and file servers — before its simulcast will be allowed to continue. As a result, there will not be a simulcast of the second Fractale episode tomorrow, and the rest of the series' simulcast is on indefinite hold.

Madoka ep3spoiler (click to show/hide)Didn't expect that :-\
I kind of wonder if the series is going to go GANTZ style and the wishes will be used to revive people who die in line of duty[close]
what is madoka
Watched Tales of the Earthsea last night. People had been saying it was bad, but I thought it was alright. Not up to what people expect from Ghibli I suppose; the plot and pacing were quite messy, but it was pretty enough and had that 'omg nature so pretty' theme that Ghibli does really well.
I straight up did not understand the dragon stuff though. I mean, the film is book-ended with appearances from the dragons and that's basically all there is to that. They briefly mention that dragons and men originated from the same being and that they now co-exist, but what the fuck is the dealio with the dragon at the end?Apparently it's based on a series of books, so maybe it's similar to Akira in that there is too much stuff to fit into a single film and have it be understandable for people who are new to it...spoiler (click to show/hide)Was she a dragon all along? Were her parents (who abused her and burned her face) dragons? Or maybe she was a witch? I dunno.[close]
I did enjoy the sense of there being more to the world than we got to see though, but Ghibli has done that much better in the past with Nausicaa and whatnot.
so everybody was as confused as me regarding the dragon bit at the end? because my friend who I watched it with didn't get it either. we aren't luminaries in any particular field though, so it might just be us being thick as fuck.

The North American anime distributor Funimation filed a copyright infringement complaint against 1,337 "John Does" over the 481st episode of the One Piece television anime on Monday. According to the suit filed in the Northern District of Texas, the unidentified defendants "collectively participated, via the Internet, in the unlawful reproduction and distribution" of the episode "Ace Rescued! Whitebeard's Final Order!" via the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol. The suit lists defendants by their host IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and Internet service provider. The alleged incidents of copyright infringement took place between January 9 and January 12.
The lawsuit identifies three of the sites where the defendants allegedly found the BitTorrent reference descriptor files for the One Piece episode. The suit also notes that users in a BitTorrent "swarm," by the inherent nature of the technology, are simultaneously downloading parts of the file and distributing parts of it to others. Funimation believes that the identities of the current 1,337 defendants and "additional infringing parties" will be revealed during the pre-trial discovery phase of the lawsuit, and it will then amend the suit to include their names.
Funimation asks the court to stop the defendants from infringing on Funimation's copyrights for this episode and any other videos now or in the future. If another request in the suit is granted, defendants "shall destroy all copies of Plaintiff's [videos] that Defendant has downloaded onto any computer hard drive or server without Plaintiff's authorization and shall destroy all copies of those downloaded [videos] transferred onto any physical medium or device in each Defendant's possession, custody, or control." Funimation also seeks compensation for damages and legal costs.
ANN is awaiting Funimation's response to a request for comment.
Hmmmmm, this could be the end of all fansubs.

Finally decided to pull out my Darker than Black season 1 box set that I've had since last summer now that I'm trapped in my own house because of Snowpocalypse 2011. I'm up to episode 15 so far and I really like this show. It's not the best thing ever, but it's just the sort of anime like there ought to be more of. Action, a touch of lightheartedness with a lot of seriousness, a scifi story that doesn't cram too much explanation into too little time, and pretty much none of the sort of things that make me irritated when I watch modern anime. Darker than Black sort of feels like a mesh of Cowboy Bebop and Witch Hunter Robin, maybe a little Batman as well [:bow Chinese Electric Batman :bow2], which is a combination that can't go wrong. I would say that, approximately halfway through the show, that it's not quite great, but it's definitely within arm's reach of great.Funimation licensed season 2 but still no DVD release. Not even Blu ray release for season 1.
Is season 2 going to come out on DVD sometime?
I watched Gunpla Builders: The Beginning and it was alright. It's a short 40 mins kids thing but it has a bunch of decently animated footage of all kinds of gundams fighting each other. Like Hi-Nu and Dendrodium and Astray vs. The O. Kind of cool. Better than the OO movie at least.

Plus the original Gundams for the show are pretty crazy. Beginning 30 Gundam is nuts. It's basically V Gundam x OO Quanta. It has all these magic shields and wings and 3 beam saber claw and throwing beam knives and RAISER BEAM SWORD and all kinds of crap. It's sort of awesome! lolol. I wouldn't mind them putting it in a GvG game or something.

Fractale 4 was good, but every ep is becoming worse than the previous one :X I feel like the pacing is trodding too much with everything being "MYSTERY" and not much actually happening per ep. It wants to be Ghibli meets Last Exile, but the plotting of the thing so far keeps it a notch below. The first ep was the best. The show can still become really great, but it needs to start picking up the pace.
Watched the first episode of Claymore-- BORING
Watched Kenshin: Betrayal and Trust OVAs-- HELL YEAH :hyper is the full series this good?

It took me about a thousand hours, but I finally caught up on Yankee-kun to Megane-chan. It's been really great, the perfect blend of crazy humor and high school sentimentality to be really entertaining across 100+ chapters and it's got a great cast of characters [and great art]. Will look forward to more chapters soon.

Hey doods --
Is Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood better/as good/worse than the original? Is the dub good? I usually prefer subs because I feel like it's closer to the original experience but if it's good enough I'm okay with being lazy. I don't watch a lot of anime but I really enjoyed the original series, though I was kinda so so with the ending. Your input appreciated!
Madoka continues to be fucked up
Episode 5 of Fractale was pretty terrible, almost made me lose all hope in the series. Really awkward unfunny humor, Phryne's personality is all over the place, and even less happens/is revealed than in the first four episodes. Episode 6 was a lot better, though.I like how it look nothing like the promotional artworks.
Okay, I'm caught up on Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, Onidere, and Yandere Kanojo, so what other lighthearted delinquent comedy-romances should I be reading?

although thats more "school club helping other students hijinks" (similar to the student council parts in Yankee-kun)
It's a distant third behind Madoka and Level E, for me.

I can just see it now: Yui gets knocked up by the captain of the baseball team, Mio falls in with a sorority and gets drunks every night, and Tsumugi shacks up with a group of dope-dealers off-campus to feed her habit. It all culminates in an intervention by Azusa in the two-part finale.
Male characters wouldn't matter for romance plots, since the girls are all futanari anyhow.

All the recent news about the disaster and nuclear worries reminded me of Coppelion, so I went and caught up on that.

Nothing's been said about it officially, just fan speculation. It's still seven months until the scheduled air date, so there's a lot that can change between now and then.
And it's not just the new episode of Madoka that got delayed, all anime broadcasts from CBC, MBS, and TBS have been pushed back.
no star driver
no madoka
:fbm
isn't this gonna be the second week for star Driver now
You're going to be lucky if any of the currently airing shows get endings before dvd release
The latest I've heard (not officially announced) based on the Syoboi Calendar database site, is that Madoka wil not air next week either. But ep11 will air on 31st March on MBS, and ep12 will air on 7th April on MBS. A two week delay doesn't sound that bad...

Hi,
I’m sure my request is going to be outrightly denied, but I thought there would be no harm in trying. I am contacting you today [...] because I wish that the hentai pictures of the character Aisaka Taiga, form the series Toradora!, would be removed from your site.
I know that this sounds like a foolish request, and there is no gain for you, but it is something that is very important to me.
I am not someone that frequents your website, so you may be thinking that my opinion is of no importance, and you may be wondering why I care, if I don’t see it, it shouldn’t affect me, right?
I care because i really, truly, love Taiga, and seeing people draw her like this pains me. It is not right, it corrupts her image, it’s not in her character, it doesn’t make sense, why would someone want to see such a precious girl like Taiga do these hentai things?
I know that many people do like that sort of thing, in fact, more people like it than are against it, and why would you run a site like sankakucomplex if you were against such things?
All I can do is ask you, beg you, to remove them. Although there is no benefit to you and your website, i beg you to remove the hentai picture/drawings/art of Aisaka Taiga, as a favour to me.
All I can do in return is be eternally grateful, and wow….. is that an amazing reward or what? Having someone you will most likely never meat, and who doesn’t visit your site, eternally grateful.
I know that the reward is not nearly equal to the action that I am asking you to do. Please, I ask you, person to person, I ask you to do a favour for a stranger. Please get back to me preceding the decision.
Sincerely,

Quote from: Some dude on Sankaku ComplexHi,
I’m sure my request is going to be outrightly denied, but I thought there would be no harm in trying. I am contacting you today [...] because I wish that the hentai pictures of the character Aisaka Taiga, form the series Toradora!, would be removed from your site.
I know that this sounds like a foolish request, and there is no gain for you, but it is something that is very important to me.
I am not someone that frequents your website, so you may be thinking that my opinion is of no importance, and you may be wondering why I care, if I don’t see it, it shouldn’t affect me, right?
I care because i really, truly, love Taiga, and seeing people draw her like this pains me. It is not right, it corrupts her image, it’s not in her character, it doesn’t make sense, why would someone want to see such a precious girl like Taiga do these hentai things?
I know that many people do like that sort of thing, in fact, more people like it than are against it, and why would you run a site like sankakucomplex if you were against such things?
All I can do is ask you, beg you, to remove them. Although there is no benefit to you and your website, i beg you to remove the hentai picture/drawings/art of Aisaka Taiga, as a favour to me.
All I can do in return is be eternally grateful, and wow….. is that an amazing reward or what? Having someone you will most likely never meat, and who doesn’t visit your site, eternally grateful.
I know that the reward is not nearly equal to the action that I am asking you to do. Please, I ask you, person to person, I ask you to do a favour for a stranger. Please get back to me preceding the decision.
Sincerely,
[Name redacted]

Fractale has no real villain because it has no real plot writing :P
And that's another problem with modern anime, they spend too many episodes slowly plodding along, hinting at a real plot, and then rapidly trying to tie everything up in the last two episodes.
I'm not a fan of Blood or Blood+, but the Grashopper-developed proto-No-More-Heroes Blood+ game is kinda cool.

They're already on it with the upcoming 3D version of Solid State Society.
Watched the Haruhi movie. Trolled by dem Haruhi fans again. Damn you kids!
actually it was a good movie, but it shares the same problem as Haruhi tv in that IT'S FREAKING SLOW. It's not a 3 hour movie because the story is some epic 3 hour tale. It's a 3 hour movie because it's a 90 min anime film at Haruhi pacing. The first 80 mins was tough to stay awake through. Once it picked up the pacing was fine for the rest.
Also the movie is definitely made to play on emotions connected to events from the series. Like "oh man they're taking this ONE SCENE from the show and doing so and so with it" and the problem is that it's been like 4-5 years now since I saw some 13ep show I didn't care for and so I don't remember it at all. I had no idea who some of the characters were like Asakura and I did not recall any of the events discussed in the film. So yeah, if you don't remember the plots of Haruhi tv it's like playing MGS4 without ever having played MGS1-3; it doesn't have a whole lot of impact that it would to someone who knows the prior stuff.
So yeah, for the Haruhi fanbase it's probably some awesome film, but for someone who didn't get why Haruhi was popular and just thought it was a kind of boring show, the film is just ok.
Nice animation as always from Kyoto animation though.
Suzumiya Haruhi can be appreciated at a deeper level if one is educated in physics/philosophy and mathematics although on the surface it is a science-fiction comedy.:(
The official website for the television anime Working!! confirmed on Saturday that production on a second season of the anime has been green-lit. The website also features a trailer in which several characters announce the new season.
I watched first episode of Star Driver with my friend just now.
Shit is mad homo fabulous. And I loved every minute of it.
This is why BONES are the best animu studio.

Best thing about Star Driver is the colors. Makes me Sammy LED shine.
Tiger & Bunny
Corporate-sponsored superheroes fight criminals on live TV for points to determine the greatest superhero. The action is tight and impressive, the writing is sharp, the characters are just the right kind of over-the-top, the animation is pretty good though a bit inconsistent in a few instances, and...well...it's pretty awesome.
It's streaming on Hulu and ANN.
You guys should watch Wandering Son now that it's done. It's cute but in a non-pandering moe way with actual depth and sophistication behind it.Tiger & Bunny

I'm not starting any new shows until all these delayed current season shows finish in the next week or two. Then I'll take a look at what's out there.
Only thing I'll definitely check out is the PA Works show by Ando who did Sword of the Stranger. Sure it's a slice of life moe girl show, but damnit stranger was awesome so I want to believe he will give it some great direction (although he also did Canaan which sucked hard).

It's kind of weird how the animation in SD 25 had soooooo many nods to Gainax.
and so thats 25-0, Takuto is god tier confirmed :lol
where can I torrent the new xmen anime?
The story depicts a young boy named Shuichi Nitori who wants to be a girl, and his friend Yoshino Takatsuki, a girl who wants to be a boy.
I really wish Madoka was a little less creepy in the naked little girl transformation scenes kind of way. It's a show I'd really like to recommend to people because of the story/style, but it's also a show that you gotta be very careful about who you recommend to, so you don't have people thinking your a creepy pedobear. Especially if they don't know what mahou shoujo genre is and they're like "Why are you watching a show glorifying little girls".
i keep seeing a lot of madoka related stuff on the internet... what's the deal with it? isn't it just like every sailor moonesque anime?
So what new shows have aired this season worth checking ep1?
I think I'll check out Tiger & Bunny, Iroha, X-men, and Steins Gate. Anything else?

Summer 2012.
If it ends up like that Dante's Inferno or either of the Dead Space films, who gives a shit.
A good mass effect film would be welcomed.
I tried watching the first episode of X-Men and got about halfway through it. It was just...ZZZZZZzzzzzzz. A crappy version of Jean as Dark Phoenix going down, and thenthe rest of the X-MenCyclops going all emo over it. I take it that Armor is playing the Kitty Pryde/Jubilee cartoon role as the token newbie.

Yeah, I watched 12.5 over the weekend (I had stopped after ep12 since that was the end of the first arc). Will watch 25 after 24.
12.5 was better than pretty much every anime airing these days. Durararara is soooo good. I stopped after the first half because it was so A++ that I didn't want to have it end :(
I hope this team does another set of novels by this author; Baccano and Durarara are freaking good!
MCD, you are dead to me :(It's not my fault characters here can't kill for shit.
I enjoy any chapter that has Naruto in it, but he's being stupid right now and 9/10 chance says he's just going to fuck up and get captured because he's a rash idiot.
Started watching some Aquarion since somebody on here was hyping it up a few days ago.
Aquarion stuff
Bleach manga chapter was kind of good. Surprised.It was till Aizen 3 made his big entrance.
bleh
Vandread was never good!
I remember Aquarion being extremely gay.
North American anime distributor Funimation launched the open beta of its new website on Thursday. The site, which has been available in closed beta form for four weeks, now indicates that Funimation will simulcast the television anime C (for CONTROL) starting on April 21 at 12:45 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). The site also now hosts a special message video from the anime's director, Kenji Nakamura.
The site is also now hosting a clip from the original Gainax television anime Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. A press release confirmed that the company has acquired the DVD rights to the series and will release it in North America in 2012.
Funimation Marketing Manager Adam Sheehan confirmed via Twitter that users in Canada can watch all of the videos on the beta site. In a press release, Funimation indicated its plans to launch a premiere paid subscription for the site "later this year."
In the video, Nakamura introduces the series, which takes place in an economically troubled future Japan, in which the "appealing characters put their future on the line as battles unfold." Nakamura also addresses the recent difficulties of Japan as the result of the March 11 Higashi Nihon Daishinsai (Great Eastern Japan Earthquake) disaster, promising that the staff will not become discouraged despite the troubles.
An English-subtitled trailer for the series is also streaming on the site.
Noitamina's head editor Kōji Yamamoto revealed the original television anime this past December. Funimation announced in April 2010 that it had entered into a simulcasting agreement to stream Noitamina titles on its website. Anime News Network Australia will also simulcast the series starting on April 22.
Star Driver
My humble opinion: watch first episode then skip straight to the last.
Final episode was so goooood. Sexcellent animation, great twist and a good ending which is, a surprise coming from BONES. (if a bit too happy.)
Takuto goes BATSHIT INSANE. He SPACE FUCK EVERYONE just because HE CAN SEE IT. If only he did that the past 24 episodes, what a shame.
And this is why Star Driver is a wasted potential; we needed more hot blooded space fuck action, less yaoi girls uguu.
Kinda lttp on this, but I just watched the Time of Eve movie and it was really, really good. I think aside from Eva 2.0, it's the best animated movie I've seen in years. I recommend checking it out!

the version of cutey honey that caught my interess a long time ago was this one
http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=215
worth a watch?
The real problem is that the animation is worse than puchi puchi boobie 2 airing on tv
Film had nooooo budget :(
I skipped most of those based on the synopsis alone.
That was my impression based on the first two episodes. If it actually turns out differently later on, then I'd retract what I said. :P
ends in fighting or training and unleashing special powers
The problem with that is I can't trust early synopses when it comes to new shows because a lot can be misrepresented until when the actual episode airs so I find it better to just try out everything first and decide what I like after.

Yea like for example Lotte's Toy (although thats myself hoping they don't fuck the anime up).
After you've seen enough anime, it becomes quite easy to tell from even a one sentence synopsis which shows are going to be banal garbage [and which will make you want to stab yourself in the brain].
Well, I do also read the first episode reviews at ANN as well.
They've pretty much deviated from the manga right from the start, so I just hope it doesn't end in too much of a trainwreck.
Nichijou: Bebpo, I am going to clobber you. Lucky Star this ain't. Lucky Star at least was funny because it talked about actual everyday events and mixed in cool otaku references along with being about absolutely nothing. Nichijou on the other hand, keeps the boring absolutely nothing part and peppers it with doses of randomness. Not even the good Azumanga Daioh type of randomness either, the what the heck are they trying to do here oh my god brain hurts make it stop. The only saving grace is obviously KyoAni's awesome animation and it shows here brilliantly. Too bad they chose the worst show to display their talents... go back to working on K-On S3 you hacks.
A Channel: The BETTER slice-of-everyday-life moe show of the season. Yuri, girls, and baseball bats. Actually funny, and the gags don't leave me scratching my head. Granted, there aren't as many "gags" in general and more "moe" moments, and they reused the boob-smacking one way too much in the first episode, but the fact that it actually made me laugh means it beats Nichijou any day of the week.
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko: Apart from the child neglect issues displayed by the aunt, this was a very strong first episode. Definitely a SHAFT show with the characteristic large amounts of speedy monologue and cut-in takes. The protagonist for some reason or another moves in with his aunt and discovers her daughter who is really weird and thinks she's an alien. If I had to describe the show it's almost Bakemonogatari all over again, except this time the heroine isn't some crazy stapler-psycho girl but some crazy weird-loony girl.
Tiger & Bunny: The blatant product advertisement is amusing, but gets old quickly. Reality/Game Show type setup with superheroes fighting crime to earn the most points and be victorious. Animation is okay, CG is cheezy. Had almost written off the series if it wasn't for the last minute jump it took into the protagonist's backstory and character development, which was actually interesting. Will stick around a while longer to see where it goes. And I suddenly really want to drink some Pepsi Next Zero.
Good martial arts manga please. Teppu and Yawara are about the only thing I can think of. Stuff like Kenichi are good but too Shounen for my tastes.
Waiting for C on funimation site :)
what day is it premiering again?

K-ON Vol. 1 BD is $35 for 4 episodes. :yuck
I saw that but I don't know how much I trust this company I've never heard of.
I find TRS overpriced and overhyped. Yeah, they're anime-centric and you get stuff early, but I don't see a reason to pay for a membership so you pay less for stuff.
And yes, volumes two and three will be the same price.
I seriously am up for a Kenshin re-read. Still the best shounen after One Piece. It was so good that I have made the title character's name my forum name for over 10 years.
Best.
I saw that but I don't know how much I trust this company I've never heard of
I went into the ending hoping they would think of a solution that I couldn't and surprise me. But it was just kind of what was expected and I found that disappointing.
The movie is the best thing to come out of Gundam.
I am the only Gundam 00 fan here, I should know.
I like how in Super Robot Wars whenever Setsuna says something distinguished mentally-challenged like that everyone goes :wtf and Lock-on goes "yeah, we don't really get him either"
He was able to become Gundam in the end.
From shooting your parents to saving the world, you just can't get anymore awesome than that.

Madoka is nothing like Gantz. I don't really see the comparison.
QuoteMadoka is nothing like Gantz. I don't really see the comparison.
the basic premise sounds the samespoiler (click to show/hide)group of people get forced in a fight of death or life against magical giant creature so that they can get special currency for an entity that might or might not be evil but at least is sure creepy,this ensues lot of "oh no he died!" and "i can't take this anymore!" drama
in both cases at a certain point a veteran of the fight dies,there is the whole "YOU GET A WISH" business in both cases... i know it's silly to make such comparisons without even having watched the whole thing but after reading a summary that's what i get[close]
i can believe that but the reason i stopped bothering with gantz anymore is because i was sick of that kind of drama,so really coupled with the hidamari sketch-esque cast i just don't want to bite even if those visual do indeed look kickass :-\
as i said i spoiled myself some of the plot to decide whetever it was worth to watch or not and i accidently spoiled myself the ending toospoiler (click to show/hide)it kinda sounds stupid,in a deus ex machina way[close]

Love the art... and that's about it. Everything else about the show is pretty... boring.
i decided to watch akagi,that has to be some pretty kickass rock/paper/scissor action BUT WHY IT'S TAKING IT SO LONG TO END???
Just got back from seeing Redline with a bunch of people. Everyone loved it. Some thought it was the best film they'd seen in years.
It was a lot of fun. Very energetic, very funny, great animation/action. Would recommend.

Is that real?!?
Chaos;Head the anime adaptation was horrible. It's not about being adverse to the type of drama/suspense it presents, it's just a horrible quality product, period. If the concept interests you enough, I would highly recommend just playing through the ADV then.
As for Umineko, the answer arcs haven't all been finished, as far as I know, so there really isn't any point in doing an anime on them yet, I think.
Plus the sales of Umineko BD/DVDs were so bad, it's probably hard for them to justify animating another season.

Air, Kanon
Higurashi seems pretty close
and on a side note, I'm surprised Redline hasn't been released on DVD/BR yet, seeing as it's a movie from 2009. I thought I saw a torrent for it a while ago, but I must have imagined it. Weird. I guess I'll watch Mind Game instead.
Any of you dudes know when the latest Highschool of the Dead or Deadman Wonderland chapters will be out? I don't know where'd I'd find that info so I figured I'd ask here.
You should just marathon it, Rumbler.

Wakamoto?
One of these days I need to finish that up. I watched through the first "arc" of the show, but stopped right after that.

I'm going to watch Panty & Stocking soon, but the western/Cartoon Network art style has been a strong repellant for me. Gotta finish Durarararara and Rainbow before I get to it though.

I dunno, I've seen everything .Hack at this point and I think all the anime entries are pretty bad but I liked the chibi one the best because at least it was funny.
Now watch Bacanno! [if you haven't watched it yet]
Totally forgot that GitS Solid State Society finally comes out on Blu-ray early next month.

They need to stop releasing dvd-only anime in the US. It's ridiculous they are still doing it. I refuse to buy anything non-BD at this point.
AND when they do release shows in BD, they keep releasing the shows made during the 2000-2007 era in 480SD so they're just upconverts with no reason to be on BD in the first place. Everything pre-2000 is ignored and recent shows like Gundam OO aren't released on BD. It's maddening. Especially since all this stuff both new and old is being released on BD in Japan.
My guess is that if say Funimation has the rights an older show, they'd have to re-license and re-pay for new BD masters to do a BD release, whereas they can probably take the existing SD-material shows they already paid for and licensed and do an upconvert themselves and sell it on BD at no extra cost. If that's right then they're just being cheap and it's screwing over anyone left in the US anime fanbase.

It is currently the Taiheimeji Era, 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 Manyuu 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.

Thoughts? Looks like a pretty good list to me, besides the FMA movie being on there. I'd probably cut the Gundam movies out too because they're just an abridged version of the series. And of course, EoE should be #1. And 2.22 should be #2. 8)

Well, at least it's the best one.
I never understood why Totoro is so popular either. It's good and all, but Spirited Away, Howl, and Grave of the Fireflies are much better Ghibli movies imo.
One thousand years after the "Seven Days of Fire", an apocalyptic war which destroyed civilization and Earth's ecosystem, scattered settlements exist throughout the Toxic jungle (renamed Sea of Decay in subtitles and the manga translation), a forest swarming with giant insects. Everything in the Toxic Jungle is lethal to humans.
but to me he just looks like some kind of master hippie animator,everything is about "WAR = BAD! NATURE = AWESOME!" for example i never watched nausica but let's just read the first paragraph of the plot summary
I never understood why Totoro is so popular either. It's good and all, but Spirited Away, Howl, and Grave of the Fireflies are much better Ghibli movies imo.
Yeah, I agree. To me, it's one of the lesser Miyazaki movies, but I guess it's the nostalgic choice for a lot of people.
>:( philistine!
on-topic: I watched Metropolis (the anime) the other day. I really liked it. The way they wove all the different stories together was really masterful, and some characters like Rock ended up truly surprising me. Loved the animation and setting too, classic steampunk. I've never watched Astroboy, does it hold up to Metropolis? Prob going to check it out now

Ah yes, the nostalgia criticism.
I didn't see Totoro until I was an adult and it's still my favorite Miyazaki next to Castle of Cagliostro.
Castle of Cagliostro, mayne. People don't mention that one cuz they're faggets.

Next Gundam TV Show?
Already looks like a bad mecha design, even from the shadow. Mustache Gundams make triumphant return?
Would be cool if it's October show, but I can't see Sunrise airing Sacred Seven and a new Gundam at the same time. Will probably be Sacred Seven -> New Gundam, so maybe Jan? Unless Sacred Seven is only 13eps.
I envisioned it like the 3rd one down.

Terrible writer + kiddie gundam = ffffuuuu
Only hope is that they're pulling a V gundam with little kids who all get brutally murdered in SERIOUS WAR DRAMA.
If Mr. Gundam doesn't post in the next 24H, somebody get the suicide hotline going to his house to check on him and his wife.
The new series will have three generations of "father, child, and descendant" as the lead characters. The main characters pilot the Gundam unit to fight against an unknown attacking enemy (UE) and save Earth in a "One Hundred Year War" — an apparent homage to the One Year War of the first Gundam series.
The first main character is Furitto Asuno, who developed the Gundam AGE-1 mobile suit (humanoid mobile weapon) equipped with the AGE System (a self-adapting computer). The second main character is Asemu Asuno, Furitto's child. The third main character is Kio Asuno, Furitto's descendant who inherits the Gundam. The Gundam AGE-1 can be augmented as the Gundam AGE-1 Titus for more power, or as the Gundam AGE-1 Sparrow for more speed.
Other characters include Emily, Furitto's friend since he was 7. Guruudekku is a Commander in the Earth Federation Forces and the captain of the battleship Diva. Mireesu is a Lieutenant (junior grade) in the Federation Forces aboard the Diva.
Tied into the anime will be "four ultimate projects" in the works: manga, hobby (model kits and figures), games, and cards.
here's a trailer for the new Gundam
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8um1N78AhY
Gundam Age is directed by the director of KEROKERO GUNSOU
Good thing I stopped watching this crap right after the masterpiece, 08th MS Team.
What was with that painting at the end? Does this somehow tie into U.C./0079?
At least they announced a Gundam AGE rpg.
Too bad it's by Level 5.
What was with that painting at the end? Does this somehow tie into U.C./0079?
The story takes place over a 100 years with 3 generations of a family and 3 main characters (all in their chibi eras). I'm not sure whose generation goes first so I'm guessing the kid is one of the later generations looking at a painting of the gundam his ancestors piloted.
Meanwhile the best Shinbo show is still not available in America

Because it is not anime; just a shitty slideshow.

I just want to squeeze Erio and never let go.
The August issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Monthly Gundam Ace magazine is announcing on Saturday that Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin manga is launching an anime project. The manga is itself a re-imagining of Yoshiyuki Tomino and Sunrise's first Mobile Suit Gundam anime project by the anime's character designer. Yasuhiko is ending the manga in the same August issue.
Naruto manga has been good for the last few chapters. It's crazy how when the manga focuses on the LIKEABLE characters like Naruto/Bee/Raikage it's good!
So out of all the shows from the currently airing season, did anything turn out GREAT and worth watching?
What happened with the Ando show? Iroha something something?
Deadman's Wonderland?
C?
If you have a spare $100 lying around and happen to be in Japan, you can go to a one-day event that involves bowling with Oogame Asuka (the seiyuu for Erio from Denpa Onna) and then dinner with both her and fellow seiyuu Uchida Aya.
The event will take place on 17 July, and will cost 8980 yen for both events, or 6980 yen if you're just attending the dinner. A total of 30 tickets for the full day will be sold, with 60 tickets altogether.
However, the event will not proceed unless at least 40 people sign up. People will meet up at a place to be revealed later in Shibuya and will go from there to the event.

The manga writer doesn't want it to be made into an anime.
I kind of agree. I think it'd lose its charm a bit.
The last 10 eps man! Come onnnnnn!
Also Mobile Suit Gundam (the original) still has the best Gundam story. The only thing that remotely comes close is 0080.
Zeta Gundam is the best of the best as far as I'm concerned, and I'm sticking to it.
Never seen Patlabor. Which do I start with?
There hasn't been anything from the Summer season yet that's really worth watching. A one or two "decent" shows, but that's it.

I forgot how good this show is
So I finally watched Solid State Society last night. Refused to buy the DVD release years ago because I knew that a Blu-ray release was definitely going to happen.
It was pretty convoluted for no real reason at times, but man, what a scathing commentary on modern day Japanese society.
I remember enjoying SSS, but I don't remember anything about it. Was extremely forgettable compared to SAC or 2nd Gig.

The DMC live action movie and the manga are both licensed, but not the anime. WTF?
Yeah, Steins Gate looked interesting. Will check that out soon.
So far in 2011, the shows that I've felt had good professional execution were:

-Madoka
-Gosick
Berserk is shit now. When it went from awesome dark fantasy to whatever the fuck it is now i just stopped reading.

Went back and watched Solid State Society again, for the first time since I watched it when it originally aired on the Scifi Channel back in 2007. It was actually better than I remember it being and I enjoyed it more the second time. But there are two major problems: it feels like there's some character development missing and the ending was rushed and little awkward. Both of those probably would have been rectified through a 26-episode series rather than a 2-hour movie. But, anyway, it's basically more of the same of what was so good about the 2 series, so I won't complain too much.
did you watch baccano! yet
you watched some arakawa under the bridge right? What did you think of that?
what do you like again magus
mmm... what else,i like mysteries,if i want to know how it ends,it's cool as long as it doesn't take too long to end up there or the character ends up doing things that have nothing to do with the plot at hand

Mobile Suit Gundam AGE Character Voice Actors:
Flit Asuno: Yuuko Sanpei
Asem Asuno: Yuka Nishigaki
Kio Asuno: Komatsu Mikako
Gundam AGE: Hiroshi Kamiya
Emily Armond: Minako Kotobuki
Ace Now: Yuuki Kaji
Grudech Aynor: Hiroki Touchi
Miles Aloi: Kitanishi Junko
A bit of new info for the upcoming Gundam AGE series. The list of voice actors are confirmed. But what is interesting here is that Gundam AGE is also voiced. And there were rumors going around that the Gundam in the series can talk... Perhaps it is like 'J.A.R.V.I.S.', the personal artificial intelligence computer program for Tony Stark (Iron Man movies), which assisted him to construct & maintain the function of the Iron Man suit. Or perhaps, Gundam AGE will be a sentient computerized being to be sort of like a teacher for the main protagonists. Hardcore Gundam fans might already have a gripe with the idea of a talking Gundam.
But not to worry... Level-5 boss Akihiro Hino addressed chatter that Gundam mechas will talk in MS Gundam AGE, calling it a "misunderstanding" that the mecha can speak. According Hino, the series will be kid friendly, but won't deviate from traditional Gundam conventions. So no talking giant mechas!
The Akihiro Hino penned Gundam Age anime debuts this fall as Level-5 is working on an Age title.
What, a TV series, two OVAs and three movies aren't enough for ya?
let's watch patlabor after cowboy bebop
Howl's is the worst thing Miyazaki has done. He tried to adapt a book into a short running time and totally failed to do so. It's so condensed that there's almost no development and things just happen happen happen and then conveniently everything literally falls into perfect place and THE END. The animation and stuff is great, but the movie sucks. I think I like Earthsea better and Earthsea is pretty weak.
Ponyo was a step back in the right direction for Miyazaki though, so I think he should just stay away from adapting novels. Earthsea was also an adaptation and a mess because of being unable to transition it to a 90 min film.
Anyhow, I haven't watched any anime for a week or two. I think I'm going to have to skip everything because I just don't have time to follow shows :X Or maybe I'll watch Usagi Drop 3 this week.
Blood was pretty crappy. Bad animation, bad art, bad story, bad voice acting, bad everything. Avoid.
is there any new info on the new rurouni kenshin
the anime industry makes no sense
There are new Berserk and Hunter x Hunter anime. Both are long running manga with unfinished anime adaptations. You'd think they would continue where each series left off, but no. Both are retelling the first arc. At least with FMA Brotherhood the story was different since it was based on the manga. It will before the chimera arc of HxH gets animated, and since Berserk isn't even a series.
that said, I wouldn't mind a Rurouni Kenshin reboot series to tell the entire revenge/Enishi arc and remove all the bad filler.
It's gundam. Therefore I'm watching it regardless of how bad it is.

the human art reminds me of a Megaman cartoon I saw. I'm intrigued
I don't mind the art that much, like PD says, it has that retro megaman look which is a perfectly legit style of its own.
Just worried about the story because Hino sucks and having aliens (which completely failed in OO movie).
When's the 4th Unicorn ova gonna be released?
The distributor Virgin Records will release INTERSTELLA 5555, the anime musical created by the French electronic music duo Daft Punk and anime/manga creator Leiji Matsumoto, on Blu-ray Disc in the United States on October 4. The feature-length work already received a DVD release in the United States.
With INTERSTELLA 5555, Toei Animation adapted the songs from Daft Punk's Discovery album into a space opera story. The two members of Daft Punk made cameos in the anime, just as they did in Tron: Legacy, another film for which they contributed the soundtrack. Matsumoto's numerous credits include Galaxy Express 999, Queen Millennia, Space Battleship Yamato, and Space Pirate Captain Harlock.
Looks somewhat retro. The character design is straight out of the 70s/early 80s.
It's gonna be a little kids' show.

Real talk, what good manga is there from pre-90s? I'm not under the impression there is a whole lot.
Slam Dunk
Fist of the North Star
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
3 x 3 Eyes
Vagabond (not sure if this is 80s or 90s)
Five Star Stories (again, not sure if this is 80s/90s)
Dragonball (will never read this; hate the art)
???
Meanwhile there's like 100 decent or good manga in the last 2 decades.
I don't think there's anything wrong with following manga/anime from the era you got into it (for me, mid-90s). There's always so much new stuff it's hard to find time to check out older things. I make an exception with Mecha because there's really not all that many mecha anime/manga in history and robots are timeless.
And don't get me started on 80s anime. Man I hate 80s anime where everything looks like Bubblegum Crisis and Gunsmith Cats eewwww. 60s/70s anime was pimp though. Everyone looking like Lupin and full of political incorrectness. I guess I just hate the 80s in Japanese entertainment.

Bubblegum Crisis is awesome. Although, I got into anime thanks to my cousins who lived there (military base) in the 80s and sent me videotapes of shows.

A number of guys at my work are in love with this series. I'll give it a shot.
Recently started watching a bit of anime on Netflix. Any suggestions for some good anime available on netflix instant streaming?
Tales from the Earthsea doesn't make sense and himu forgot to highlight Samurai Champloo.
haven't read the books so that might be why the ending didn't really make sense to me, but yeah, it's a fun adventure movie, but hard to recommend over anything else Ghibli. Or at least what else of their catalog I've seen.
The end part I didn't get:spoiler (click to show/hide)"Cornered, Cob strangles Therru to death. However, she does not die, and instead becomes a dragon, thus killing Cob and rescuing Arren from the collapsing tower that Cob destroyed to prevent Arren from advancing."[close]
o well. Still, it kinda made me want to read the books. my brother is real big on Harry Potter and His Dark Matters and stuff like that, so I figure I'll buy him the first two books and if he gives it a thumbs up I'll read em.
Bright's voice change is really noticeable.
But really while that looks pretty awesome, what makes me :'( is that all the mecha animation is beautiful 2d animation and then the AWESOME GIANT MOBILE ARMOR is....cell-shaded CG :( It sticks out a lot and is a shame because I'd love to see it in 2d animation to the detail of all the other mecha.

but here's the thing,i liked the first 2 episodes where there was the mystery and all... but then at a certain point (episode 3-4? when they find the little girl) they just start talking and talking and talking and nothing happens and... blargh! the funny thing is i watched the episode from 2 different fansub group and the translation were completly different and i wouldn't have noticed because literaly nothing was happening on the screen,it was so boring i just lost all the interess i had in it
so i'm wondering... what the heck i'm missing?
THANK GOD HE SPEAKS.
God how I LOATHE mute fucking characters, good thing they are few and rare nowadays.

Is it good? The artwork makes me interested :-[ :-\
Just watched the final episode of Kaiji S2. The ending was awesome.
As a whole, I think The Bog arc has been the worst out of the entire series so far, but it was still good. Just not as good as anything else they've done. I loved Ichijou though, he's a great character and I hope he keeps appearing throughout the series. I'll probably start reading the manga now, because a Kaiji S3 probably isn't going to happen. Isn't Madhouse in dire straits? They'll probably want to avoid niche series that don't really make them any money. :(
Just watch the original trilogy for free on youtube, pd

does S2 ends with the bog? that's where the scanlation ended too (well a little further but only like 10 chapter further) the last time i was still caring
positively convinced japanese businessmen are distinguished mentally-challenged now.
It's standard Gundam but with a younger cast than usual.
HxH anime is probably like that because I doubt it'll be 50+ eps this time around.
I'm passing on it because the Ant arc in the manga basically killed my interest in the series. I don't care about any of the characters anymore or remember what happened prior since it's been so long. For me, the highpoint of HxH will always be the Ryodan(I think that was the name) arc and the OAVs they made based on it.

Call of Cthulu planet-size. It's ok and kind of a neat sci-fi horror idea, but ending is kind of weak.
When does the new Last Exile start? Anyone legally streaming it?
New Last Exile? :wtf
On February 1, 2011, Gonzo revealed that a new Last Exile story will be planned. Titled Last Exile -Fam, The Silver Wing- (ラストエグザイル～銀翼のファム～, Rasuto Eguzairu Ginyoku no Famu?), it will be released sometime in 2011.[21] The anime will be "a new series of Last Exile [with] new story, [main] characters, and mechanical designs." Koichi Chigira, Last Exile's director, will return to direct the anime. Range Murata and Makoto Kobayashi will also return to provide the series with its unique visual style. Music will again be done by Hitomi Kuroishi.[22]
Four characters, three fifteen-year-old girls and one nineteen-year-old girl, have so far been revealed on the anime's official website: Fam Fan Fan (ファム・ファン・ファン, Famu Fan Fan?) who pilots a small-sized vanship named Vespa, Giselle Collette (ジゼル・コレット・ヴィント, Jizeru Koretto?) who is Fam's close friend, Milia il Velch Cutrettola Turan (ミリア・イル・ヴェルク・クトレットラ・トゥラン, Miria Iru Veruku Kutorettora Turan?) who is a princess of the Kingdom of Turan (トゥラン王国, Turan Oukoku?), and Liliana (リリアーナ, Ririāna?) who is Milia's older sister.[23] The story will revolve around the conflict between the Commonwealth of Adess (アデス連邦, Adesu Renpou?) and the Kingdom of Turan.[24] The MacGuffin will be Exile, but whether it is the same Exile from the original series is not known.
A partial list of voice actors playing some of the characters was released on the official website on March 10, 2011. Fam is voiced by Aki Toyosaki. Jizel is voiced by Aoi Yūki. Milia is voiced by Ai Kayano. The list also includes characters such as Luscinia Hafez (ルスキニア・ハーフェズ, Rusukinia Hāfezu?) played by Kazuyuki Okitsu and Alauda (アラウダ, Arauda?) played by Masaya Matsukaze. From the original series, Natsuko Kuwatani, Eri Kitamura and Junko Noda will be reprising their roles as Alister Agrew, Tatiana Wisla and Dio Eraclea, respectively.[25]
The new series is set to premiere in October, 2011 and the opening theme will be "Buddy," by Maaya Sakamoto. Funimation Entertainment has announced that they have licensed the series for streaming and home video release.[26] The US Premiere was at Anime Expo 2011, July 1-4. Melbourne Anime Festival will host the southern hemisphere premiere on August 26 and 27. Animax Asia is set to air this new series on a same-day telecast as Japan, making it the fifth anime to be simulcasted the same time as its Japanese premiere on the channel, after Tears to Tiara, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Inuyasha: The Final Act, and Maid Sama!. Teaser videos have already been aired on their cable TV and Youtube channel.[27]
Still, it's the best thing airing right now.

Pantene Presents: Guilty Crown
Do we really need another main character who hates himself, mopes about not being able to "protect what's important to him" and laments the fact that he doesn't have the balls to touch some pink haired girl's hand? Apparently Japan thinks we do.
As I was watching it, I was thinking "Why can't Gai be the main character?" Hell, Shu would be fine if he was a normally developed human being.
hey i wanna watch gundam age too man
they included Australia, so it just seems to be they hate anyone not in their part of the world :(
Yeah, the AGE situation is a mess. Even the fansubs suck on it because if people didn't care enough to put out OO at a decent pace, you think they would for a kids show?BSS rocked weekly with 00 so shut up you...you...KISAMA TROLL.
Also about the ep:spoiler (click to show/hide)The AGE system is going to have to get destroyed at some point. Takes the challenge out of any fight if he can just instantly make a weapon that beats it, lol.
Also is the girl he picked up a Tifa-like Newtype? Or is she just the pilot of one of the enemy units so she knew the base plans inside out and knew when and where the enemy would fire their shots? Hmmm....I think the latter is the generic likely answer, but I'd rather AGE have crazy psychic newtypes because that makes everything more fun.[close]
Y'all nerbos needs to watch Mawaru Pengiundrum instead of this kiddie garbage.

New Macross title?
The anime will center around nine idol candidates who aspire to be "legendary idols," in the motif of AKB48's real-life sōsenkyō (general election) Top 8.
I'm skipping Frontier and just watching the movie versions.
I don't have time to watch a 26eps bad series :P I'll take the condensed version.
who wants another Macross after ALL THAT CRAP THAT CAME AFTER THE ORIGINAL lol
who wants another Macross after ALL THAT CRAP THAT CAME AFTER THE ORIGINAL lol
Yeah.
Plus has good music though.
I feel bad we're all beating up on Mr. Gundam's other favorite mecha franchise :(
I don't dislike Macross, I'm just not a big fan of dogfighting/planes. I don't play Ace Combat, I don't watch Top Gun every few years, I only like Yukikaze for the :-*
Except Aquarion is fucking creepy. ;)
Oh awesome, didn't know this was being scantalated!

Unicorn 4
GREAT animation, pretty good direction and music.
but holy hell Banagher is THE WORST WHINIEST gundam lead in forever and between him whining crying whining and newtype DRAMAAAAA and distinguished mentally-challenged story plot-twists...all the content of the show basically does it's best to try to undo the fact it's a good looking gundam with nice designs and a real budget!
I dunno, I find it frustratingly unsatisfying. Wish Unicorn was less emo and more just a kick ass Gundam with awesome animation and good mecha designs. Stick the kid from AGE in Unicorn as the pilot and the show would be much better!
you need to add Bakemonogatari and Black Lagoon RBT
Also Kimi ni Todoke if you can stomach cute awkward teenage romance
Imo Bakemonogatari is the finest anime/light novel of the last few years. Can't wait for Kyomi vampireyou need to add Bakemonogatari and Black Lagoon RBT
