Title: The Bore Anime & Manga Thread
Post by: MrAngryFace on July 03, 2008, 10:50:48 PM
The last thread was too old for its own good. I am currently watching:

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/mrangryface_bucket/slayer-revolution-1.jpg)
Slayers Revolution
Sure, only the raw is on the net so far, but what I watched was awesome. BUDGET! A Slayers series with BUDGET and entirely faithful to the previous series. It should be considering the same people are behind it.


(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/mrangryface_bucket/projectsos.jpg)
Project Blue Earth SOS
An OVA about ALIENS INVADING THE PLANET EARTH. I really love the look of this show, and the plot has that same charm of all those old japanese monster movies. No one can say 'G-Reactor' like the japanese. The plots a bit predictable, and the periods of characterization dont quite fit in a show with so much high adventure. At 6 episodes long its been a fun ride. I should have this finished tonight.

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/mrangryface_bucket/soltyrei400yk7.png)
Solty Rei
A good, but 'safe' show. There's a couple bait n switch plot points, but most of the episodes are the types of things we've seen in most anime. Beinga Gonzo effort the production values are high and at its very worst, its 'another super powered robot girl' anime. I wish they'd turn down the music; there are times I can't even hear what they're sayin!

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/mrangryface_bucket/persona-ts-b.jpg)
Persona Trinity Soul
Just started watching this today, and its pretty awesome. I enjoyed Disgaea's anime, so I figured I would give this one a chance. Quality animation and an interesting story.

I'm still watching Macross Frontier. Even though some episodes are just "WTF, why?  :-\" like the episode where the squirrel stole Sheryl's panties and the one where they were making a movie, there's still enough good bits in there to keep me interested. Like when they discovered

I dunno, they didn't really make it clear at the end of the episode. They were just like "*gasp* MACROSS!?" at the end of the episode, then it showed this:

I found out my sister actually bought all of Slayers  :hyper, so I'm watching the first season now. Fun stuff so far, I like Lina and Gourry a lot.

Also going to watch Revolution when it gets subbed cause I like new stuff.

Haven't really been watching much anime though, dunno why.

Code Geass R2

+ Immortal green haired bitches that love pizza
+ Purple outfits and superfluous hand gestures for some added style
+ Doesn't take itself too seriously 99% of the time
+ Isn't afraid to show people get blown up,crushed by rubble, or shot up, killing themselves or others.
+ guaranteed to piss off chess players:

It's a character quirk not uncommon in Japanese anime. As best I can tell, it gives off a more "catty" appearance.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: MrAngryFace on July 04, 2008, 02:19:45 AM
Well Earth SoS was pretty decent. The ending felt kinda slapped together and a lot of events didnt have time to provide the impact as intended. All in all its a fun romp with a bunch of silly sci fi radiodrama touches all over the place. The dub isn't bad but the main character has a bad habit of running his words together funny. The show could have used another 6 episodes, partly because it would have been better for it, and partly because I was left wanting more.

I think I will be making another run through the TV and OVA of Guu next:

Have the DVDs for the movies back home, but I downloaded rips.  Also the original OVA series.  What I also found is the original TV series, which never got an English release.  It's crap VHS quality, but watchable.  And it's been fansubbed.  Eat a dick, anime companies.  You want to solve your problem?  Bring shit out for decent prices.  I'm also re-re-re-re-re-re-re-reading Adam Warren's take on the DP.  Loved those comics.

Also it's way past time I watched ALL of Slayers, in honor of the new show.  I only have seen some of the OVAs, the movie, the first TV series, and half of the second.  And I barely remember any of it.

Sons of bitches left that part out this season.  Best stuff seen so far was a battle in progress/ending at the beginning of an ep. :maf

That said, I love watching Lelouch's plans going to shit just to see his awesome "Do Not Want." face.

Yeah, I'm surprised that was such a cause of issue for people. As you said, he made an illegal move on purpose if only to see how Zero would react and most likely to personally confirm it was Lelouch under the mask.

in the show no one thinks its odd at all

actually lelouch moves his king behind his pawn and schniezel makes a remarks how he is a pussy and should have taken him out

Lots of people like it. I dont really watch it because it looks like one of those shows...you know the ones I dont like.

To put a finer point on it, its the passive/aggressive fanservice I dont really wanna have to deal with. All the female characters seem to be put into situations that are there to titillate and I see people react on forums or whatever and it feels kinda dirty.

Why aren't you guys watching Birdy? Look at all this love:

oh wow, birdy was great
charming charismatic characters and nice animation.
what do you want more


The first episode of Birdy was great. Charming characters, and very slick fight scenes. I want more!

Finally found the time to watch Birdy ep1. Great stuff. Very high octane animation, and the animation and art style is really good. Everything looks natural and there's lots of subtle animation but the actual style is totally exaggerated and ridiculous. Great mix. Akane continues to prove that he's a really good director, so I'm really looking forward to the rest of this.

Birdy was charming and full of life, very fun and visually interesting. Definitely a keeper.

Nuh-uh!! Anime is the greatest thing ever invented! It has great animation is always really smart, but has plenty of action as well! Of course, something like anime could only come from Japan, which makes all kinds of awesome things that are better than anywhere else! *sigh* I wish I was Japanese...

Funimation has scheduled the first anime DVD releases from its distribution deal with Geneon Entertainment (USA):

September 2: Karin volumes 1-4, Kyo kara Maoh! season 2's volume 1-7

Funimation announced at Anime Expo 2008 on Thursday that it had agreed to manufacture, sell, and distribute selected DVD titles from Geneon Entertainment in North America. Geneon Entertainment had ceased in-house distribution of its own titles last September.

Hellsing Ultimate 4 on dvd, will be mine day 1 :bow :bow

Ah finished some series, moving on to new ones:

(http://anime.osiristeam.net/images/others/gurren_lagann.jpg)
The first two DVDs were released in volume 1. I never took the time to watch the entire series so its nice to grab it for so cheap on DVD. Bandai is pushing this series out FAST N HARD.

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/mrangryface_bucket/slayer-revolution-1.jpg)
Episode 2 just hit the net and WOW. The show keeps getting better and better. It was nice to finally see a fully juiced Lina Inverse Dragon Slave. I love it when she tries to use it on someone for some mundane reason and someone has to stop her.

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb165/mrangryface_bucket/persona-ts-b.jpg)
After four serious episodes it came outta nowhere with a funny episode. Good thing too, cause the all-serious all the time crap was starting to wear on me a bit I know Persona stuff can be funny, so do it! The budget is still holding, I hope it lasts the whole series.

(http://www.animemojo.com/images/news/full-metal-alchemist.jpg)
Never watched this show cause people were so tard about it. Now im giving it a chance and im really digging it. Never knew it was so gory in parts lol. On episode four so far, bunch more to go.

FMA was awesome and the movie really ties things up.  Metropolis was a good flick, I own it and have watched it several times, though not in a year or two.  I will maybe watch it next week.  I just watched Origin: Spirits of the Past and enjoyed it.

Watching Aeon Flux again has put me on a Peter Chung kick, and I watched Reign the Conqueror for the first time on Youtube, and I saw screw the haters, Reign is awesome. If Reign is a bad anime, then it's the best bad anime ever. After watching the first episodes, I was hooked until the end. Despite the over-the-top nature of the series, I was surprised at the amount of historical (or at least semi-historical) details that were included. It was probably at least as historically correct as some of Hollywood's attempts. Also, despite having the men fight in titanium battle thongs, it still managed to be less gay than Alexander.

I finished watched Kurenai and Library Wars, they were both decent but not spectacular. Kurenai seemed like it was building up to a really cool ending, but then it kinda floundered.

 I've still been watching Macross Frontier steadily, and after a few meh episodes it's picked up steam and has had a string of really good episodes. Epic space battles FTW.

CASSHERN!

Quote
Takara Tomy displayed an exhibit at this week's Tokyo Toy Show that included a section about Casshern Sins, the tentatively titled remake of the Shinzo Ningen Casshan anime. The anime studio Madhouse had already revealed at the Tokyo International Anime Fair 2008 in March that it is working on the project; at the time, the project was just called Casshern. Tatsunoko Production, another anime company that recently became a subsidiary of Takara Tomy, created the original anime about a cyborg who rises against the robotic armies that have subjugated all of humanity. The new version will have director Shigeyasu Yamauchi (Saint Seiya, Boys Over Flowers, Dragon Ball Z movies), character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi (Berserk, Mushi-Shi, Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor), and series script supervisor Yasuko Kobayashi (Claymore, Witchblade, Shakugan no Shana).

Streamline Pictures and ADV Films both released the 1993 Casshan: Robot Hunter animated video remake in North America, and Go Fish Pictures released Kazuaki Kiriya's 2004 live-action movie remake.

Is it at least worth paying for? I mean, are there any cool fights or moments of great animation that justify the $4 spent to watch it in 1080p?

I still think it is bullshit to pay $4 an episode and still want to refuse to pay for it, but if it does have some cool look to it, I might cave in for episode 1.  It should really be like Qore or something where you buy a subscription and have access to Xam whatever and the various other HD anime they have there.

I don't remember too much anymore, but...

Manga:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Lots of crazy shit happens in the school where these chicks kung fu fight and beat up people.  I think at one point these girls were pissed off that the female teacher was hot and all the boys were jerking it to her.  It ended with Onizuka in a hospital bed after getting hurt, but then he revives or something after he hears that some chick was in a burning building or something.  At one point the nerdy math teacher also went wacko again.  It was stupid.
[close]

Drama:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Onizuka and his class lock themselves up in the school and all this chaos happens outside for some reason, then when others finally get in, they see that they planned a surprise festival.  Onizuka quits and you see him getting a new job at a new school.  That female teacher took a job as a flight attendant, but then Onizuka is in front of the airplane and carries her away to lose his virginity.  There is an SP after this that starts with Onizuka looking at his condom packaging implying they did have sex.  The SP is basically that blond older girl from the Anime's story, but with this random new girl from another school.  This ends with these girls asking him for favors.

The drama is worth it, but if you never seen a Japanese drama before, it is a bit daunting.  It is probably the cheesiest shit you have ever seen, but still funny in a way.

Yeah, the quality is quite good on those two.  I rented the first episode earlier this week and enjoyed it quite a bit.  Despite being floored by how amazing 1080p Anime is, I probably will only rent episodes with a lot of action from now on.  Just skimming through Episode 2 makes me think this is an episode worth renting.

I finally finished watching the uncut, non-dubbed version of Outlaw Star for the first and it is much better than I remembered it being. It came out around the same time as Cowboy Bebop and likely suffered because of that comparison. There are similarities between the two such as both being about band of odd-ball intergalactic bounty hunters who are often flat broke and both draw heavily from the Old West theme of frontier lawlessness. But it seems to me that Cowboy Bebop focuses more on its characters while Outlaw Star focuses more on space, the exploration of, and technology.

However, both are good shows in their own right and if you skipped Outlaw Star back when it first came out, you may want to give it another try.

I've been watching Oban: Star-Racer. It's an Euro-anime collaboration with the 2D animation and music done in Japan and the 3D animation done in France, I think. Usually that's a recipe for mediocrity, but it's surprisingly good. The series is about an intergalactic race, not unlike the one from The Phantom Menace, that will decide the fate of the universe.

The actual racing usually takes up less than half an episode, with the rest being used for character development and interaction and strange aliens/alien worlds. The 2D animation isn't really anything special, but it looks good enough. On the other hand, the 3D animation works really well in the series and definitely is the highlight in the respect. Overall, though, the series just looks good from an art stand point. The music is great too. The characters are all pretty well-rounded, although it does feature the prerequisite totally evil guy that is clearly bad for the sake of being bad.

Finished:
GitS: SAC (season 1) (yum)
The Skull Man (kinda cool, some neat twists and turns, gets suuuuuper dark at the end)
Cowboy Bebop (yum)

Now watching: Key the Metal Idol.  I remember hearing about this back when I first got into anime, about eleven years ago, and I'm only just now watching it.  It seems like it could teeter into melodrama at any time, but there are some interesting/surprising things going on with the characters.

Gundam Seed is atrocious.  Worst Gundam series yet, and only made worse by how popular it is.

Most Gundam shows aren't high art, but they are still better than Seed (and I include Seed Destiny as part of Seed).  And I still consider 0080 and Char's Counterattack to be the two best bits of Gundam media.

Gundam Seed was bad for a number of reasons, but I will go into just one of them for now:  The actual battles against all the Gundam were incredibly boring.  Super powerful Gundam with constant beam spamming and lasers everywhere is not fun to watch.

Actually, I will address two more problems:  Horrible mech and character designs.  The guy who did the characters is apparently the same guy who did Scryed, but some how between those two shows, s/he must have suffered head trauma which led s/he to create lame characters like Kira.  The mech designs themselves consisted of someone looking at the RX-78 and wondering how much stupid shit they could throw on it without it becoming a mobile armor.  It turns out that they could throw on a lot of stupid shit, and varied stupid shit at that.

The best thing to come out of that series are the enjoyable games for PS2 and PSP.  I surprise myself with how much I hate seed, because usually I am not hard to amuse.

I don't have a problem with SEED, I thought it was a fun re-imagining of 0079. Some of the Gundam designs (I'm looking at you Forbidden, Calamity and Raider Gundams) are atrocious, though.

SEED Destiny, however, is a total mess. It started off with such promise before it collapsed on itself.

Just finished watching Macross Frontier episode 19. It was a boring talky episode, but it seems to be the calm before the storm, with multiple plot threads coming to a head in the last minutes of the episode. The president's chief of staff, who has spend the entire series so far looking really shift and talking cryptically, has now put out a hit on the president so he can take over, Vajra larva that have been secretly bred onboard the Frontier have just hatched out and are about to attack, and Ranka just walked in on Alto hugging Sheryl after he (apparently) found out that she was about to die. :omg

Also started on Kaiba, which is really interesting visually, but otherwise seems to be typical Japanese "provocative" by way of being deliberately obscure (which I kinda dig, but lack of fulfilling closure can get annoying).

Key the Metal Idol. I've watched everything but the last feature-length episode. The first feature-length ep is a massive infodump on the show's backstory that plays out like a spoiler-filled Wikipedia article. The next ep will wrap things up.  The show has its problems - it's pretty contrived, and the villain is nowhere near human - but other characters have some surprisingly human aspects about them, and the show generally does a good job of showing instead of telling (that last ridiculous episode aside).  It's okay.

Next is Gundam 0083.

Operation British:

Quote
The One Week War culminated in Operation British, supposedly named after the American Revolution against British rule in the 1770s. Operation British's goal was to destroy the Federation's central military command at Jaburo in South America, a facility hardened against nuclear assault. The plan called for the use of a recently depopulated colony cylinder. During the opening battles of the One Week War, Zeon troops launched a gas attack on Island Iffish, a colony in the Hatte province of Side 2, employing a highly-toxic nerve gas known as GG, which was able to enter even into the gas shelters via the colony's ventilation system. (An upgraded version of this nerve gas, G3, was used in 0085 by the Titans to put down a rebellion in the 30 Bunch colony cluster of Side 1). The cleansing of the colony's entire population was accomplished within 20 minutes. After the gas attack had concluded, Zeon forces then prepared the colony by attaching it with nuclear propulsion engines, before initiating the second phase of Operation British.

The Federation's space forces mobilized as the Principality set the colony on a slingshot course around the moon. Intense battle raged above the Earth's orbits, but the Federation Forces was unable to stop the colony. As the colony passed the point-of-no-return, both sides withdrew from battle and emergency evacuation of Jaburo was ordered. However, the heavily damaged colony fell short of its intended target, instead shattering into large fragments due to the heat of re-entry over the Indian Ocean. The largest piece, comprising most of the main colony cylinder itself after being shot at while over the Arabian peninsula, fell on the heavily-populated city of Sydney, Australia, obliterating the city outright with its 10-million population. The strike caused a 60,000-megaton blast (or estimated to be 3 million times the power of the Hiroshima bomb) and created a 500-kilometer crater along Australia's coastline (later named the Sydney Crater). The immediate effect was of a Magnitude 9.5 earthquake at the impact point and Magnitude 9 earthquake over a third of Australia, a 200m/s shockwave being detected in Melbourne; it destroyed roughly 16% of the continent. The ensuing shockwave also led to massive tsunamis around the globe, incapacitating a large portion of Earth Federation's planetary defence systems, while also causing huge humanitarian crises.

Macross F is all stupid love triangles and shit...it is getting really stale.

The distinguished mentally-challenged love triangle is what MAKES the series!  :lol We've got not one, but two pop idols dueling for the affections of this douche that barely even acknowledges either one of them and when he does he's kind of a jerk to them, and is also probably gay anyway. Priceless!

And speaking of douches that are probably gay, poor Michel.  :'(

spoiler (click to show/hide)
And while Michel was busy dying, we get to see a brief shot of Klan's nips and muff but the fact that she had the body of 12 year old just a few minutes earlier and was also partially nude then is just wild pedo. WTF, show?  :-\

El Hazard: The Wanderers
Forgot how good this show was. It doesn't beat the original Magnificent World OVA, but the retelling is definitely entertaining in its own way. Its got a quirky charm thats pretty unique. Still, Mokoto's science skills in this telling are pretty absurd, but its El Hazard.

Gundam 0083 is rocking my ass.  The influence of the future BONES and Bebop staff really shows. Ep 6 felt like an episode of Bebop.  The whole show is absolutely gorgeous, and the pacing is perfect.  The action scenes all look great, too. The mecha have a nice sense of weight and movement that I haven't really seen in other Gundams. This might be my favorite Gundam series yet, and it's certainly the best-looking I've seen.

They made Anamone and Dominic lame in one of the last episodes of Eureka 7; and RahXephon was pretty weak.

Right now the only things I can stomach watching are One Piece and Slayers Revolution. Gurren Lagaan's pretty interesting, tho. Should I keep watching that?

aoshen is the only group thats done them all when they finish this latest, they are like speedsubbers and they make tiny grammar mistakes that seem obvious to even me, but from a translation standpoint they seem competent enough

then their is another group called Emina thats doing them at a much slower pace but I hear they are of a better quality, they just released ep 5 which came out months ago so they wont be done anytime soon

hopefully season 2 will have competent subbers

Macross Frontier ended, with exactly the kind of bombastic, over-the-top, cheese-filled finale that it deserved.

Soul Eater plods onward. I've started watching Xam'd as well.

I couldn't get into Code Gay-Ass either.  Maybe I'll watch the first few eps of Macross at least.  Anime generally just sucks so fucking bad now, with rare exceptions like DETROIT FUCKIN' METAL CITY FUCK, Birdy Decode, and Slayers (which I haven't gotten around to yet).  The Blade Of The Immortal anime adaption ain't bad either.

Your wife cried when she read that? He went out like a wuss.  The only thing In Naruto that was even close to sad was when they said Rock Lee couldn't fight anymore...I mean, right after he showed how awesome he was he can't fight anymore? now that is sad.

The only Anime that ever got me close to being tears sad was Ippo.  Vorg  :'( Fucking racist Japanese assholes robbed you.

I can definitely see that.

I felt Beck worked better as an anime but they just ended that when it was a quarter through the manga's story.

I could tell it was based off a manga due to the unique visuals. It looks like they're trying their hardest to get down the original artist's manga.

I love it when anime does faithful transitions from manga like that. Cromartie did the same thing. Very unique shit.

I  look for the same type of stuff franz. I'll be on the lookout for a new one.

My God Detroit Metal City is amazing.

A quote from episode 2:

*main character Negishi, and the rest of the band eating with this girl he has a crush on, he doesn't want to freak her and her friends out*

*she picks up a small wiener with her fork and is about to engulf it*

Negishi's band mate: To eat a wiener, you must first lick the tip with  your tongue, then lick the entire morsel slowly, then you may swallow.  You mustn't rush...

*Negishi freaks out*

Negishi: Hey, did you know? That was the French way of eating a wiener! Nishida is a returnee from there!

Negishi's crush: Could you please speak some French?

Negishi's band mate: Anal.

*Negishi freaks out*

Negishi: D-did you get that? "Anal" is the perfect form of "amour", which means true love!

my favorite part was when Robert and the other american dude were running through the corporation shooting those random beasts.  They were like "I am real American!  I love shooting things and women and expensive cars!  Lets go get a beer after we kill all these things!" 

That was about all the character development the show had to offer :lol

I think Blood: The Last Vampire is one of the only anime that had English in it that wasn't almost completely incomprehensible.

I think what really has me is the atmosphere and setting.

Yes, I agree with that. Surreal scifi settings are some of my favorite, particularly ones with post-apocalyptic underpinnings. Also, I like the whole "quest" that constitutes the middle half of the series.

Texhnolyze is in a similar vein, which is why I mentioned it, but the ending was just horrible. And it didn't help that much of the rest of the series ran the gamut of all the negative emotions mixed with a few tablespoons of drab and dull.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: MrAngryFace on October 20, 2008, 07:08:23 PM
I think the title Texhnolyze is something that would actually KEEP me from watching it haha. It just sounds kinda cheap.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: Great Rumbler on October 20, 2008, 07:13:27 PM
Haha, yeah I don't know what they were thinking with that. I got into it because of Yoshitoshi Abe's [minor] involvement. I stuck it out till the end, but when the credits ran on the final episode I couldn't help but think "Why did I waste my time with this mess?" I mean, it's not without merit, but it's one of the few animes I've seen that actively despises its viewers and does everything possible to make them want to kill themselves.

Me well I just finished stand alone complex s1, been watching like 1 dvd a day from the boxset, time to get season 2now I guess.
more recent stuff Ive seen

- casshern sins  - which is pretty nicely animated and stylized, have to see more before a verdict on that though
- chaos;head - just kinda randomly downloaded this one off the title and was surprised at how good it is
the main character is some delusional otaku that stumbles upon a murder, anyway to not spoil anything it has quite a bit of humor with a dark twist, give it a try
these guys dont suck at subbing: http://m33w-fansubs.com/2008/10/chaoshead-01/

Ergo Proxy is amazing.  I watched it a few semesters ago...skipped a couple days of class to rambo the whole series and got completely into it.  The shinsen sub of it was particularly awesome since they had a lot extra info (albeit wiki'd) that filled out some of the references, but they hadn't finished the series at the time-- only up to ep 13 or so, i think?

It was hilarious, there was really no reason for him to say that to her. It's like "Oh, you got me. Nothing I can do. I guess we're going to have peace now and I'll have to stop be a terrorist. But before I do, I just want you to know that I could say something crazy like 'Kill everyone and start a huge war' and you'd totally do it, for reasons that I can't explain. Oh wait, you're actually doing it? Oh....shit. Oh damn. Well that sucks, but on the plus side I guess the terrorism thing is still on then."  :lol

That's why I only really watch the movies.  I think this Music based one is the 13th movie.  This is probably one of the more bad movies there is since the case just doesn't make any sense at all.  It's like, this guy wants to explode this building so he rigs up this piano to detonate 24 bombs around it, so he has to wait for this guy to hit that note 24 times.  That's all fine and all, but then they say that they can't just tell this oblivious guy playing not to play because they saw the culprit with a remote control for the explosives...wait, what?! if he has a remote for the explosives, why would you bother going through all that work? what's worse is how they do solve this...a woman has a soprano sing off with another and wins by singing Amazing Grace.

Because I'm too busy watching Clannad After Story, ef - a Tale of Melodies, Rosario to Vampire Capu2, and Vampire Knight Guilty, that's why!  :maf

But seriously though, watching Michiko to Hatchin just makes me wish someone would finish subbing Chiko, Daughter of Twenty Faces. There's only two episodes left of that, but it's been weeks since the group released an episode.

PA is better as a collection of stories, because it was essentially a collection of ideas. Paprika suffered from 'weird japanese ending syndrome' while Millenium Actress does not

yeah, Millenium Actress is a fine piece of cinema, classy all the way through...I need to re-watch that sometime soon.

I liked the the first part of PA the best--
spoiler (click to show/hide)
when it was just stories of people in tough spots being redeemed by the bat boy and the detective chasing him.  When the other detective started having delusions of being in a videogame and then all that weird shit started happening, it became kinda hard to watch.  The show would've been better if the surrealist/metaphorical stuff was toned down.

It's basically the anime version of The Right Stuff, except replace ruggedly-handsome military pilots with clearly moe-bait high school girls. On the whole it's actually a fairly decent series and is fun to watch. From the cover and description you know that you'll need to have at least some suspension of disbelief, and you're not wrong. Beyond the prerequisite underlying theme that any adversity can be overcome with a positive attitude and perseverance, it indicates that within just a few months average teenage girls can be trained to handle complex missions in space as well as Neil Armstrong, and not once but TWICE they manage to land the capsule in their high school's pool. However, it does provide a reasonably accurate presentation of what goes into astronaut training and the science of space travel, as well as how every mission is a hair's breadth away from disaster.

Oh God, I just watched MD Geist and its sequel. Urgh, it feels like someone just punched me in the brain.

I mean, the first movie was made by some first-timers during the middle of the 80's, so I can kind of forgive it; although it's still quiet bad. But, MD Geist 2, my God. Everything is worse in the sequel. The animation is worse [lots of scenes or just still images that shake slightly, including one bizarre scene between Krauser and the chick from the first movie], the voice acting is worse [one of the worst dubs ever], the writing is worse [lots of scenes of just talking and talking about stupid stuff], and it actually makes even less sense.

But do you know what just absolutely kills me about MD Geist 2? CPM coughed up the money to have it made TEN YEARS after the first movie!! Ten years later and they made something that was worse in every respect?! It just boggles my mind.

So what's everyone watching these days?

Gundam 00 Season 2 is turning out to be a disappointment currently. I don't think Sunrise knows how to make good sequels.

Been watching Michiko To Hacchin. It kinda reminds me of Cowboy Bebop.

I have the first few eps of Titania but I kinda haven't really watched much. What I have watched really gives me a LOGH vibe but...that's expected given the director.

Hajime no Ippo is another thing I'm watching. Good stuff.

Finally, I'm still watching Turn A Gundam

Also watching some Hyakko, which is probably the best high school anime I've seen seen Azumanga Daioh.

Trying to get back into LOGH. I started watching it, but got distracted by some other stuff. Sorry. :(

Still trying to finish Bubblegum Crisis. The first four episodes were really good, but it took a nosedive with episodes 5 and 6 where everything got really melodramatic and just really mediocre overall. Episode 7 is looking up, though.

Finally got to check out the first Vampire Hunter D movie. It's pretty good stuff what with the macho main character, vampires, post-apocalyptic wasteland and all that. On the other hand, the animation really hasn't held up all that well, even compared to other movies and OVAs that came out around the same time. It's got some problems with things happening with little to no setup or explanation. It's certainly not enough to ruin the show, but I don't think it's a timeless classic. Now I need to go back and rewatch Bloodlust.

Awesome spoilers, more like.

That's pretty much 80's anime in a nutshell, though so it shouldn't come as surprise to anyone. There's really no real reason for that to happen, but it's the 80's so whatever let's just do it. In the end you get random nudity, a guy's head explodes, and there's some post-apocalyptic wasteland full of biker gangs.

great rumbler did you ever get to watch the best anime ever? Kenshin: Trust and Betrayel? I didn't see your impressions of the best anime ever.

I watched it a little over a week ago. My opinion is this: It's an extremely well-made period drama, but I feel that it suffers a bit from overlong monologues and dialogues about the meaning of life and the purpose of life. I can appreciate it for what it does, and it certainly does what it does very well [which is basically to be a 50's-60's era samurai tail in animated form], but I think it's been a bit over-hyped. However, I also think this is something worth revisiting a year or two years down the road to see how a second viewing holds up.

The music in it was amazing, by the way.

great rumbler did you ever get to watch the best anime ever? Kenshin: Trust and Betrayel? I didn't see your impressions of the best anime ever.

I watched it a little over a week ago. My opinion is this: It's an extremely well-made period drama, but I feel that it suffers a bit from overlong monologues and dialogues about the meaning of life and the purpose of life. I can appreciate it for what it does, and it certainly does what it does very well [which is basically to be a 50's-60's era samurai tail in animated form], but I think it's been a bit over-hyped. However, I also think this is something worth revisiting a year or two years down the road to see how a second viewing holds up.

The music in it was amazing, by the way.

The greatest anime...overhyped???

I dont' recall any "lessons about life" or anything except maybe in the last ep, and the bad guy is mainly talking about women being weak and how it's his job to protect the shogunate or some shit. The only monologues I don't like in the anime is when Kenshin is blind, deaf, delirious at the end. "Otsu. Should we go to Otsu?" wtf are you talking about, Kenshin? Also, a lot of the monologues should be taken with historical context. Like, for example, Katsura's thing about his master. If you look it up, apparently that's one of the reasons he started the Choshu clan rebellion in the first place. There's a lot to the anime that you'd otherwise wouldn't understand without knowing the historical context. Another big one is Shinsengumi and Okita.

It's a bit overhyped in my opinion, yeah. I contantly see it at or near the top of a lot of the top ten animes lists floating around. It was great, but I probably wouldn't put it in my top five, not yet anyway.

Have been working through Second Gig over the last week.

I think that I prefer the first season to the second, so far. 2nd Gig seems way darker and more serious than the first season. Sort of like the movies. Which I don't prefer. I like the lighter tone of the comic. But one big advantage to second gig is that it seems to remember that it is anime, and dudes get fucked up. Lots more blood and exploding body parts.

There's also some nudity  :-*

It's the lightest tone of them all, by a large degree. The Major in the comic is vastly different from any of her anime representations.

In the comic, she's hard drinking, constantly broke, fights with Arimaki all the time, and for a side job she records and sells videos of her sexing lesbians.

Get the first manga from Dark Horse, don't even bother with GitS2: Man-Machine Interface.

Overall, though, I thought the manga was the weakest of the three iterations, with the movies just barely edging out the two series. It's all good, though, except Man-Machine Interface.

By the way, I finally got around to watching the manliest manime ever made: Fist of the North Star. Gallons of blood, people getting ripped apart left and right, tons of awesome fights, huge guys that are over 30 feet tall, and fighting all the time. The ending's a real cop-out, though.

It's just the one paperback. Maybe a couple hundred pages?

http://www.amazon.com/Ghost-Shell-2nd-Masamune-Shirow/dp/1593072287/ref=pd_bbs_8?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235424160&sr=8-8

And WTF, reading the description, it looks like they put the sex stuff back in. I was going to bait and switch the cartoon perverts with the temptation of anime lesbians, and then laugh because Dark Horse axed those two pages in their US release. Seems like it's back in and my copy of GITS is now out of date.  :'(

Dark Horse put out reprint back in 2004 that added the sex scene back in, but it's still in left-to-right format and features the original translation.

I picked up a used VHS copy for $4 from Half Price Bookstore, which is currently the only way to get it. HOWEVER, there's a new DVD release coming out in May.

On the other hand, the janky audio and visual artifacts kind of add to the experience.

The backstory on Saito is so worth going through it though (or one could just skip to it). The whole refugee drama sort of bogged everything down, I didn't really care for either viewpoint, I just wanted more techno jargon.

I have the rare Streamline Pictures DVD for Fist.  Wonder if it's still worth anything.  Their old dubs were the best.  As nonsensical as they were, I'll take their version of Akira over any other one released.

AP Police OVA. It came out in 1990, so it basically takes the sum total of the 1980's and packs it into three 30-minute episodes.

More people should watch Votoms. It's a great 80's mecha show, much more hard nosed than a lot of the material that came out during that time. The PS2 game that Yuke's released in 2007 is brilliant, too.

I got the first 13 episodes on DVD a few months and watched the first episode, but then it went back into the pile and I forgot about it. That's not really anything knew though, I've got a lot of shows that I've started and probably won't finish anytime soon. Still, this is one that I'd like to go back to sometime and dig into some more.

Same here, although more so than previous series of the same type, the ending really made most of the episodes in-between the first and last episodes feel like they never mattered.  But it was always a show about the developing relationship between the two title characters and the journey itself, not the ending.

Hiroshi was a real dickhead.  I wish he'd gotten what was coming to him instead of basically getting away scott-free.  Also they never did explain who Hatchin's mother was.  No way it was Michiko...right?   :lol

I watched an assload of Naruto in one stretch years ago, but pretty much fell off/got bored. I noticed the other night that Shippuden is on Hulu. Watched a few episodes, may acquire it.

A few episodes in, I am wondering if watching animu usually corresponds to crushingly depressing periods of my life. I watched a lot when I was a miserable young thing, and come to think of it, whever I've been unemployed. Then there has been this week.

Cross Game

(http://www.ibiblio.org/phil/fnordchan/Spring2009/39-cross-game.jpg)

Other stuff that seem promising or I'm just watching for shits and giggles:

Lupin vs Conan
Dragonball: Kai
Eden of the East

Anyone else getting a fierce 80/early 90's character design vibe from Cross Game?

Anyways, seems like a promising, if decent season. At first sight I was thinking it may not be as good as last years but after some reflection it has plenty of potential. The fact there's going to be FMA, a remake of Mazinger, and an anime rendition of Romance of the Three Kingdoms alone means it probably won't disappoint. Probably.

-Sengoku Basara
-Queen's Blade (lol, ecchi)
-Dragonball Kai
-Slap Up Party (just because of the name)
-Fight Ippatsu Juuden Chan

Think that's it.  Maybe the new FMA for my wife.  I want to watch Chi's Sweet Home but I never saw the original series.

Is that Conan Vs. Lupin III OAV out yet on the net, BTW?  RAW or subbed, doesn't matter.

Post by: Great Rumbler on April 02, 2009, 02:20:58 AM
I started watching the Princess Resurrection anime, based on how much I liked the manga and how awesome the DVD cover looked. Man, was I in for a surprise. Madhouse took pretty much everything that was good about the manga and tossed it in the garbage. I only paid $30 for the first 13 episodes, but still.  :-\

I'm currently in an argument about the show with some guy at AnimeNewsNetwork. I wouldn't bring it up, but some of the things he says just...make absolutely no logical sense whatsoever, so I figured I'd share.

Quote
Looks like I'm the only one here who doesn't like the sub only release. Otherwise I would've been more tempted to collect the anime adaptation of the original Princess Resurrection manga, if it came with a quality and proper localization of both English sub and dub. I mean originality is a good quality to have simply due to its rarity, but right now the Sentai Filmworks licensed R1 anime DVD of Princess Resurrection from ADV isn't a quality production worthy of my contribution. However, it is a mockery to what could have been otherwise an enjoyable anime adaptation by Madhouse Studio.

But through the process of licensing the anime by Sentai Filmworks, Madhouse Studio as the copyright holder of the Princess Resurrection anime should had full executive decision on the R1 anime post production. So when I deemed the finished product of Princess Resurrection anime turned out to be a mockery with the approval from the original creators, needless to say I'm offended by that licensing decision made by Madhouse Studio, Sentai Filmworks, and ADV.

Quote
At least I can still look forward to what could possibly be an enjoyable English voice acting, if nothing else. And since the anime series was aimed to be broadcast on TV network and not direct, straight-to-home video release, just what kind of explicit content you think that can be allowed on Japanese national TV network is beyond me.

Quote
That can still be the executive decision made by the original manga licensee, the Japanese medias publisher of the Princess Resurrection manga Kodansha. Madhouse Studio may have the copyright of the anime series, but why should the animated TV advertisement paid by the manga licensee, to outdone the original manga work owned by them? This is a case of the position of power within corporate ownership, pure and simple.

He also accused me of being grumpy and disliking the show but not knowing why.

Finished armored trooper votoms, last 5 episodes were awesomeness, i'm surprised how heavy the sci-fic themes went at the end though, but i liked it being a fan of sci-fic.
And Chirico is easily the greatest pilot in a mecha series. 8) going check out the OVAs next, hope there good, kinda disappointing one isn't translated though. :(

Watched Queen's Blade (subs were not so hot); pretty much you'd expect...fantasy adventure, except everybody is female and they show tits n ass every chance they get.  The last part of the first episode is lol-worthy.

The main girl kills the monster underneath her (who is also a large-boobed woman, of course) by laying on top of her as her UBER-DANGEROUS UDDERS FILL WITH DEADLY-ACID-MILK and explode.  Yeah...?

Valkyria Chronicles kinda sucked.  I'm amazed by how budget the show is.

that show that begins with Phantom or something was pretty boring too.

that trailer for Shangri-la got me interested whereas before I was probably never going to watch it because it focused on young girls as every role.  Maybe it might not just be shallow pedo bait.

I watched the first episodes and it looks promising. But it was also a total information dump with lots of characters, factions, and concepts being tossed out in rapid succession with very little time spent properly introducing any of them. Still, once the show gets going, it could be pretty good.

Let's see, we've got:
-Metal-age [one or two main characters and a load of supporting characters]
-Carbon Police [mentioned but not seen]

Gonzo is so hit and miss man. But when they hit, they REALLY hit.

True, true. Full Metal Panic, Last Exile, Hellsing, Gankutsuou, and Welcome to the NHK are all top-notch works. Unfortunately, a lot of their others shows are mediocre at best.

By the way, I just came across this seasons balls-out awesome anime that no one's watching: Basquash. It's from Thomas Romain, the creator of Oban: Star-Racers, a solid and underappreciated Fraco-Japanese production. This time around, he's teamed up with Shoji Kawamori to create Basquash! a series about an alternate Earth where mechas compete in basketball tournaments. It sounds weird on paper, but the end result looks great so far [and I only just watched the first half of episode 1].

The animation is slick and vibrant, the character designs are pretty good, and the world is some weird fusion of futuristic and dilapidated steam punk [or something]. The story follows this kid who hates robots, apparently from some tragic incident that happened in the past, and so he and his friends rip through town and bust up all the public TVs that are showing the mecha basketball tournaments. Presumably at some point the main character will have to enter the mecha tournament to something something friendship or whatever. If they can keep up this level of awesome through the rest of the series, it'll end up being really good.

No.  Gonzo is just bad.  Your excuses do not save them.

The last decent show they made was Count of Monte Cristo and how many years ago was that?  C'mon, let them die already.  They already outsource 99% of their animation to Korea.

Yeah gonzo are just bad bad bad, even their good shows like FMP hellsing and last exile were pretty weak overall and could've been so much more. Count of monte cristo is the only one kick-ass show they ever made.
I still need to see NHK though.

I will watch the "remastered" Dragonball Z show coming out.  It's supposed to be cutting the length of the episodes down to make things go faster, voice actors are re-doing their lines, and they are making it 16:9.  This is from the original studio, not Funimation BTW.  I assume it will be fansubbed pretty quickly. 

And for the perv in me, I will check out Queen's Blade.

Are you downloading Queen's Blade? Didn't it just launch?

shangri-la - first ep, kind of weird, fuckload too many characters and words introduced for a first episode imo. but things get blown up by a boomerang so Ill watch another ep. the background art is really godly though, you can tell they are spending a LOT of money on this.

Robot's great, but it's a collection of short, one-shot mangas from about a dozen different artists, so you'll only get about four or five pages of Murata art per volume.

I haven't watched too much lately. Now that school's more or less over I'll have some time to catch up on Basquash, Eden of the East, and Shanri-La.

Mostly what I've watched lately is Lovely Complex. As far as romantic-comedy shows go, it's pretty good, although it follows the tried-and-true formula of taking forever for the lead characters to finally figure out that they love each other, making the show a bit excruciating at times. The high point of the show is Risa's broad range of hilarious facial expressions.

I tried watching another episode of K-on since people on gaf talk about it on every page of their thread.  I managed to get past the OP without suicide, skipped through most of the episode watching 20 seconds to see if there was anything watchable, got to the ending and promised myself I wouldn't ever try that again.  On the plus side it's slightly more watchable than Lucky Star.  Swine flu is a still a better choice than both.

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Some kind of post-disaster show about people coming together or whatever, might be interesting
Canaan - Sounds kind of weird, will probably check out the first episode
Bakemonogatari - Heard the name bounced around a bit, will check out
GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class - Based on a 4-panel comic that was pretty good, will check out
Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Based on a classic detective novel series [if I remember right], might be a decent watch
Needless - Sounds vaguely post-apocalyptic, might have to check out

Nothing jumps off the page. I'll check out Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 because BONES is usually pretty good, and then we'll see where it goes from there.

Tonight though, I'm going to try to marathon through the last 13 episodes of Mobile Fighter G Gundam. :rock Domon :rock

So, how did these shows turn out?

Souten Kouro
Ristorante Paradiso
MAZINGER Z - watching this anyway
Cross Game
Shangra-La
Sengoku Basara

Eden of the East and FMA2 I gotta catch up on.

Note:

Canaan, despite looking like an awful Noir clone, is directed by the guy who did SWORD OF THE MOTHERFUCKING STRANGER (this will be his first TV show) and like Stranger it is an ACTION show.

So it might actually be badass and worth watching.

Oh and it's 428 the animation.  428 is the visual novel game on Wii that famitsu gave 40/40 because the story was THAT GOOD; and this is an anime based off the original script by Typemoon (Tsukihime, Fate)

The Eureka 7 movie is so bad it's amazing that it exists in this form.  If you've seen the TV show you have to watch it though for the wtf moments.

The movie lacks ANY energy, which is exactly what the tv show had in the first place that made it exciting.  The first hour of the movie is boring slow paced talky talky; the 2nd hour is random wtf in a nonsense plot.

The animation is a romhack of the tv show with old scenes photoshopped to become new.  The mech design is a terrrrrible Gundam ripoff complete with Bits and Dendro-clone.  Even the music is absent for most scenes and you don't care about the scenes by the time the music does come in.

I have no idea how this got made and released.

Yeah I've heard the manga is so much better. Trigun is one of the most overhyped animes I've ever had the "pleasure" to watch.

Are the main characters not as vapid as they are in the anime? The only characters I like in the anime are Wolfwood, Knives, and...that's it.

The linebacker chick the worst character still?

Forget about Trigun, in the first 2 minutes Needless has vampires, shoot-outs, giant spider robots, a super-human priest with a grenade inside a hollowed-out Bible, green-haired girls with huge boobs, and people yelling out the names of their special moves.  :o

It suffers from a split-personality, like a number of anime, except to a very extreme case. Kind of feels like two different shows with the same characters spliced together. I really enjoyed it despite that, but I can see how it might turn some people off to it. Most of the second half, and a number of the episodes from the first half, are great though.

Vash still has that "no desire to kill, kind to everyone" attitude but he doesn't seem nowhere as whiny compared to his anime counterpart IMO.

Legato has more story and actually does something, knives gets a lot more action.

More detail about Vash/Knives race

Linebacker chick still doesn't do much.

wolfwood is the same for the most part (with Chapel being much different from the anime adaptation)

Post by: Joe Molotov on July 11, 2009, 03:13:17 AM
The first episode of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 was boring, the entire thing was OMG FAMILY DRAMA. Summary: Pre-teen girl hates her life because her mom works late, buys rectangular cakes instead of round ones, gets into passive-aggressive fights with their father, and forces her to take her baby brother downtown to the robot festival during summer vacation. Presumably this is so we'll all learn a valuable lesson about not knowing what you've got 'till it's gone, but whatever, BORING; let's just get to the earthquaking, which did hit in the last 30 seconds of the episode. I still have hopes for this series.

But regardless though, I've got Needless for my Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Action/WTF fix and Kanamemo for my moe fix. I'm all set for this season.

 :lol Well, for what it's worth, you can have my impressions. I'm no great judge of anime, I just know what I like.

Visually, Bakemonogatari reminds me of a lot of Shaft's other series (Paniponi Dash, Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, Hidamari Sketch, etc.), in that it has a lot of the familiar visual quirks. A lot quick cuts, text on the screen, characters talking side by side on the upper half of the screen, if you've seen a few of those shows, you probably know what I'm talking about. It probably looks the most like ef, which I really liked the look of.

As for the show itself, for the first 10 minutes, it was like BLAH BLAH BLAH PANTY SHOT TALK TALK TALK and I was like

 :-\

but then out of nowhere this chick staples his mouth and I was like

:lol

The second half of the episode was pretty funny. I could see myself watching this show. It's sort of like the dark humor of Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei with a dash of When They Cry thrown in, maybe.

I don't like Sayanara Zetsubuo or whatever. I can see the appeal but the overuse of visual puns and gags isn't my thing. I'm more of a Cromartie High/Guu/FMP: Fumoffu guy when it comes to comedy animes.

Planetes is good, but overrated. Zeta Gundam is good but it takes forever for the plot to move forward. The last 10 or so episodes are great but I wouldn't want to watch it again. Cromartie is the best out that list.

The problem with Zeta is just that Camille is a bitch until around ep30+
By the end he's pretty cool though.  Apparently watching people die in horrible explosions makes you grow up.

Agreed. Also, the story just isn't that interesting until around ep 30. Especially compared to say, 0079 or Turn A, or even 00 s1. They're going around doing random ops sometimes, and it's just so hard to care; psycho gundam assault and camille's situation with his parents aside.

But by the end, you're in love with the characters and the ending made a really big impact on me.

I just highly disagree with anyone calling Zeta anywhere close to the best Gundam tv series.

Hell, I don't even like Char's Counterattack. Shit story. Hate what they did with Char, the best character in the series. The stupid little kids ruin the story. The only good thing about it is the animation and mechs.

CCA is awesome.  Mech fights so good that it negates whatever problems you had with the story.  Probably my favorite Gundam movie for the mostly mindless combat and mech designs.  Sazabi :drool  Nu Gundam :rock

Most probably wouldn't agree with how I feel about Gundam.  Gundam 0080 is my favorite Gundam series by-far, and I didn't think 08th MS Team was as great as others.

And planetes is awesome and totally not overrated because I rarely see it rated period.  The only time the series got a bit lame was when they tried to go dark and depressing later on, bu it was still great.  If they did an FMA2 like series that covered the manga story instead, that would be even better.  The manga is a lot more lighthearted than the anime was, and many events are different; specifically, the manga continues a bit after the anime finished.  I guess the enjoyment of the series would change if you weren't big into space stuff.  The series is fairly realistic compared to most anime dealing with space.

I love the serious parts of Planates. I highly dislike the silly parts because they feel so thrown in. I liked the episodes that actually had to deal with living in outer space, or how the writers think space life will be in 100 years. Like the moon girl who's tall as hell. Or stupid lead female going outside

or hatchi's attept to make it to space.

The silly stuff was distinguished mentally-challenged and fell completely out of place. It'd go from serious to silly over and over, and only few are capable of pulling it off right.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: cool breeze on July 15, 2009, 01:32:05 PM
It's more that the serious parts were thrown in.  Like I mentioned before, the manga is a lot more silly and consistent than the anime.  One example is
spoiler (click to show/hide)
the entire Hakim is ended early.  Tanabe kisses Hachi, then Hakim pretty much stands there and is like "I'm done with this terrorits shit"
[close]
A lot like the FMA, actually, they tried to make the anime version a lot more serious than the manga and that's why it may seem disjointed.  I'm not a fan of when they keep it disjointed and would rather it be one, the other or a good medium between.  Planetes struck the medium for most of the series, imo, until later in the series.

Gundam 0080 is one of my favorites. 0079 and 08th MS and Turn A are the kings though.

I don't like mindless Gundam. I'm all about the story.

I don't mind it, and that's why CCA is the best for mindless enjoyment.  Though it isn't devoid of story like 00 s2 or SEED is.

and yeah, Turn A is definitely the best non-UC Gundam series.

I think you gotta be a dumb dumb to download anime when funimation subs it that same week. I mean seriously. That's why I was so hyped for funimations OP treatment; a dub on a weekly basis instead of a sub? Sign me up.

This is the first time I've heard of the funi site that stream anime; it's pretty awesome.  They have full series both subbed and dubbed up there.  The benefit to fansubs still seem to be the speed they are released, which is at least a couple days before that site gets them up.  I use fansubs just for watching episodes early and deciding which anime to buy in the future, so streaming is good enough for me.  Like, I saw Gungrave though fansubs years ago but still ordered the boxset the other day.

I also like seeing DVD boxes on my shelf  :-[

Just watched Episode 3 of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0.

The little girl is just a total curmudgeon, and annoying, but slightly less so in this episode than in the past two. We get some more destruction and panicked citizens in this episode, although it still hasn't boiled over into total pandemonium just yet, which I expected to happen before the end of the series. The CG people in the background still look kind of wonky, but overall the animation is still fairly decent. Best episode of the series so far.

I don't even remember what the story was.  I think some old guy was pedophile who fiddled with war orphans, then magic shit happened because a terrorist teacher, and like, they become older or something and wanted revenge.  Then Eureka had cancer or something and almost got raped at one point, and the mechs are all marshmallows inside armor.  Also, like, red souls or something that can talk when under the influence of steroids.  At one point there was this old lady who became a little girl wearing different clothing for some reason, then she was chilling with some ghost in a giant marshmallow mech.  Naked people randomly everywhere.  Where is the music? what is even going on? who is the old lady talking to the soldier? why is the communication done through giant pixel faces or something? why do these things ride surfboards, or better yet, why did they need to when they have jetpacks? why...I don't even know what's going on

The reason a lot of people think season 2 sucks is because the first season.

It throws everything that was good about season 1 out the window.

The first season of OO was brilliant. Second season isn't bad at all so far. I typically don't hold anime to a high standard, seeing how it's TV made to sell model kits, cards and video games.

The show is going a little bonkers, but I'm still digging it.

Episode 18 brought another appearance of the OO Raiser's OMGWFTBBQ mega beam saber, and then it ends with all the pilots saying the name of their loved ones on their way into battle.... Tieria loves a computer, and Setsuna loves his Gundam.

Episode 19: In addition to the Tomino-esque "metaphysical/spiritual love will conquer all" musings in the midst of a holy shit awesome space battle, this epsiode shows the Ptoelmy crew the mistake of not learning the most important rule in the OO universe: PURPLE HAIRED PEOPLE ARE BAD FUCKING NEWS.

Started watching Code Geass S2. Everybody getting their memories wiped and Nunnally being the next Governor-General were some LOLworthy developments. I can't wait for Lelou to slap down that little bitch of a fake brother. I also like how the second season maintains the careful balance of Terrorism, Political Intrigue, Mecha Battles, and Generic Anime High School Hijinks (the one girl can't cook, Lelouch gets in trouble for cutting class, it's funny! :lol ).

Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: Mr. Gundam on August 03, 2009, 10:54:12 PM
Episode 21: The death count keeps rising, and Louise joins the pantheon of batshit crazy female mobile suit pilots in Gundam shows. Also, maybe "Ore wa Gundam" has more meaning than just some creepy dude who loves his mobile suit a little too much.

I'm also digging the crazy Gunpla commercials that Nyoron is tacking on the end of episodes.

Episode 22: More deaths, more alliance switching. And that gigantic OMGWTFBBQ Transam O Raiser beam saber destroys an entier A-Laws fleet. Seriously, if you have a beam saber that's larger than the universe, you should NEVER lose.

The best way Berserk anime is described is as a trailer for the manga.  It covers the entire flashback part in the manga.  Only the first and post-credits part of the last episode are in the present time of the manga.

Basically, the manga has a larger section before the flashback that has present Gutts and characters that are in the present time story, like Puck.  They also remove some characters who show up in the flashback for a tiny bit but have more importance in future chapters, like The Skull Knight.

The last scene of the anime is sets up the first episode.  The manga is more of that, with Gutts killing demons with his Dragon Slayer.

Wise from your gwave!

Code Gease - I've had the first two parts for a few months now, back when Best Buy had a bunch of anime at 50% off. First 9 episodes are totally awesome, can't believe I didn't start this sooner. Some of the fanservice and highschool hijinks come off as totally out of place, but that seems to be pretty intermittent so far. Everything else is just really cool, I'd say this is easily one of my favorite shows from the past few years.

The Wallflower - A parody of bishounen shows from the director of Excel Saga. It's totally off-the-wall and crazy, but so hilarious. It tends to be a bit repetitive though.

R.O.D. The TV - A friend of mine has been going on for a long time about how this is one of his favorite animes, but for whatever reason I kept passing on it until yesterday when I got the first volume from Netflix. As with Code Geass, I can't believe I waited so long to watch it. The show's got slick action, comedy, and plenty of style. I can't wait to watch more of it now.

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Started out with a bang, middle part was dragged on a bit too long, and the ending was a utterly bittersweet. Overall, it ended up being better than I thought it would be, definitely one of the better shows from Summer 2009.

Yeah, that's what I've heard. I'll probably buy the rest of season one and maybe rent season two sometime down the line when I'm bored.

And his big plan to the make the world a better place? Be a bleeding-heart pacifist liberal, despite the fact that he's a trained soldier fighting for the country that took over his father's country, and, I guess, killed him as well, and has, on at least two occasions, tried to have him killed, all while piloting the most cutting-edge killing machine ever invented.

Yeah, the Japanese anime purchasing market is NOTHING like the USA's domestic market for it. Japan gets away with a lot against its own consumers; even regular music CDs are about 30 bucks here, and they've been that price for at least 16 years. Occasionally I can find the import version (US domestic) of American or British bands I like for about 16 bucks, but many Japanese don't buy those because they lack J-translated liner notes and lyrics.

The new anime season is finally here and the first round of new shows has started.

A Certain Scientific Railgun - Kids with psychokinetic powers live in a futuristic city and help keep the peace. The first episode does a good job of setting this up and manages to avoid one of the biggest problems plaguing new anime: info dump. It gives you the information you need in a way that comes across as a lot more natural than in a lot of series. There's nothing about some shadowy conspiracy or shadowy organizations or shadowy figures. There's Judgement [the city's police force], ESP powers, and varying levels of ESP powers. That's pretty much what the first episode gives you, aside from introducing the four main characters. The highlights of the show are the animation during the action sequences, which is fluid and well-done, and the backgrounds, which are vibrant and detailed. The characters themselves probably won't win any awards for originality, but they do seem to have some depth beyond that.

The Good: Animation during action sequences, backgrounds, good basis for some cool stuff later on, and the characters are slightly above the norm for anime.

The Bad: Cheesecake [Shock!] is present from episode one and it sets the basis for more to come [one of the girls is in love with another of the girls, so expected LOTS of jokes stemming from this].

Hard to tell where it's going to go from here, but the first episode was pretty good.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: cool breeze on October 03, 2009, 01:13:40 PM
Major is fucking amazing.  :o

are you starting from season 1?

Season 1 and 2 are great, Season 3 begins to drag and Seasons 4 and 5 are pretty much the same things.  There is also a movie that's good and set between Seasons 1 and 2, but since it's a flashback, it spoils events from Season 5.

If you liked the first two seasons and wanted something like that, but a lot better, check out Ookiku Furikabutte (or Big Windup in the states).  It's pretty much the second best sports anime behind Ippo.


I haven't been watching too much anime in the past few months.  I've actually kinda stopped watching anime I was n the middle of, so I should return to those.  Probably Michiko to Hatchin since I stopped at episode 15.

Post by: Great Rumbler on October 03, 2009, 01:34:03 PM

I wasn't going to!

Here's another first episode review:

Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra - In a world that's sort of like Victorian England, people that die turn into stone books that contain their memories and such. It sounds interesting, but the execution is...not so good. It's a total info dump show with tons of characters that get a minute or two, lots of overwrought dialogue, mind-numbing philosophical ponderings, and little to nothing is explained in any satisfactory way.

The Good - Some of the actions scenes look okay, premise is interesting, and some of the European-esque architecture looks really cool.

The Bad - CG is TERRIBLE [like, I've seen mid-90's videogames with better CG], animation overall is pretty weak, no interesting characters have emerged yet, and too much philoso-babble.

Overall - Could be good down the line, but I'm not wasting any more time on this one.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: Great Rumbler on October 03, 2009, 02:03:12 PM
And another:

The Sacred Blacksmith - Straight-up medieval fantasy. A female knight gets her sword shattered in her first real fight and is saved by a guy that's blacksmith of some kind. She wants him to make her a new sword, but he doesn't really want to. There's also demons and some shadowy entity that controls them.

The Good - Nothing really offensive here, animation is okay, and that's about it.

The Bad - There's nothing here that really grabs from the onset and it just feels kind of bland.

Overall - I might try episode two when that comes outs, but if that doesn't do any more for me I'll drop this one as well.

Watch Ookiku Furikabutte.  Seriously.  If that's what you liked about Major, you will really, really like Ookiku Furikabutte.  If you don't, feel free to come back and tell me to "fuck off".

and the only reason I'm thinking about finishing Michiko to Hatchin is because it's the least amount of catching up I need to do.  Other anime I need to finish are:

Ghost Hound (stopped half way, was kinda boring)
Allison and Lillia (the first major plot point ended at episode 4 or so, and I have 22 more episodes to finish; it was so-so but it's from the guy who did Kino, so I have faith in later episodes)
Nodame (the whole second season)
Haruhi (whole second season)

of the few episodes of Michiko to Hatchin I watched, I thought it was kinda boring.  It tried too hard to be stylish but there was no real payoff to it; it was pure fluff.  Samurai Champloo was similarly going for that super stylish, uh, style, but you had awesome fights and characters (THE DOG PLAYS BASEBALL).  Michiko is an annoying bitch and Hatchin is an annoying brat.

Post by: cool breeze on October 03, 2009, 03:38:51 PM
It kinda is.  I mean, there is no romance or hints that boys are into girls, and the biggest relationship is between the pitcher and catcher (no homo).  And in one of the later episodes, there is practically an openly gay character.  But it's great and more about team building, strategy and characters rather than just two powerful teams going up against each other.

actually, thinking about it, there is a lot of gay subtext that could be read from many of the scenes.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Checking this out then.

Is there an anime?

The manga on onemanga has 21 chapters. Is that up to date?

edit: Seeing that the first chapter has 64 pages, I'm going to assume it is.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: cool breeze on October 03, 2009, 03:41:52 PM
Never read the manga.  But yeah, there is an anime that's the standard 26 episodes.

I would say it's worth watching the anime since the animation and music are good.

and another good, different sports anime recommendation is One Outs (still Baseball).  It's a lot more about gambling and mind games based around baseball.  Like, the main character is a pitcher named Tokuchi, and the reason he's a good pitcher is because he just fucks around with everyone else in the game.  In one episode, the other team had a rookie pitcher who was really good, so to break him, he pretended like the pitcher had a tell while he was pitching.  He said it loud enough that the pitcher could hear it, then from then on, the pitcher kept grasping his glove tighter thinking it would counter the tell, when really, he never had a problem and Tokuchi fucked him up mentally and gave him one so they could win the game.  He basically ruined the guy's career to win that one game.  In another episode, he catches someone cheating, but instead of going to the authorities, he makes that person bow to him in front of the entire stadium  :lol

My anime backlog, much like my game backlog, is huge.  I have stuff going back like 10 years that I still need to watch.   :lol  I think I'm going to go through Cromartie High School next.  I got the first DVD years ago when it came out, but never got the rest of them.  Just downloaded the entire series and the live action movie.

Detroit Metal City's manga is better because it continues after the anime's ending. Baccano has a great plot and characters while every DMC episode got repetitive past the first three episodes. You could always predict what was going to happen.

Yes, if you asked me about comics, I'd tell you DMC is the best one of the last 4-5 years, too.   ;)  DMC is all about the gags.  It was great the whole way through.  And stuff like "fucking" Tokyo Tower, that's pretty predictable!

Manga is pretty much always better than the anime adaptions of them.  You get better, more consistent artwork, more fleshed-out, longer stories, etc. etc.  The only anime I've ever enjoyed more than the manga was Azumanga Daioh.  It just worked better animated.  I also hate how so many anime versions of manga are cut short and finish in 13 or 26 episodes.  Even some of the longer ones, like GTO, still didn't cover everything, and it got a goofy ending completely different from the original.

A new season of Inuyasha is coming up. Don't you like Inuyasha? Inuyasha is good. Fairy Tale is apparently One Piece with magic. Seems like a good time to me.

I like Urusei Yatsura, One-Pound Gospel, and love Maison Ikkoku and Ranma 1/2, but just could not get into Inu-Yasha.  Takahashi has some new manga out now, and its plot description was also just "meh."

Fairy Tail is awesome.  I bought all the comics when I was in Japan.  I'm looking forward to seeing it in animated form.  It's from the same guy who did Groove Adventure Rave (Rave Master in the U.S., right?).

Here's one more:

Letter Bee - In a world where the sun never shines, people called Letter Bees deliver messages and packages between the world's semi-isolated cities. Also, there's these giant insect-things that are massively huge and lurk in the areas between cities. The main characters, named Gauche, comes across his latest package, a young boy named Lag. Together they set out for the destination Gauche was given. Not much in the way of story has come through just yet, but the world is a really interesting one.

The Good: Art style is fairly unique with lots of dark purples and blues, world is interesting, no fanservice in sight.

The Bad: The story really hasn't gotten going yet and the first episode is a bit slow.

Overall: I'm intrigued by the world, so even though there really isn't a story to draw me in just yet, I'll stick with it.

Watched the first episode of Seitokai no Ichizon and then tried to watch the first episodes of Kampfer and Nyan Koi, though I really don't know why. Nyan Koi isn't offensive like the other two, but there's really nothing there to distinguish it from a million other, similar shows. Seitokai no Ichizon is like every light-novel-turned-anime that's ever been made, but worse. Don't bother watching any of those shows, even out of morbid curiosity.

Fall '09 Ranking:

1. A Certain Scientific Railgun
2. Letter Bee
3. Sacred Blacksmith
4. Armed Librarians
5. Nyan Koi
6. Seitokai no Ichizon
7. Kampfer

 :lol

-Bad pacing (changing the manga flow for no reason)
-Bad direction.  Scenes are made overdramatic for no reason; normal scenes are draggged out; zero sense of directorial style
-Totally average animation with rare moments of great animation
-Random bad art times
-CG ENVY ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The original anime while having way more filler early on was still a far better anime.  Mizushima was a great director.  Without him the show is no different than the anime adaptations of Naruto/One Piece/Bleach and other standard action anime adaptations.

Only thing I'm watching is FMA, which is disappointing on a weekly basis but what can you do

Mainly out of duty since the original FMA was one of my favorite series and I like the manga.  Plus occasionally there are great fight animation scenes in the anime.  Like Ling vs. Wrath/Gluttony.

what are these shows even about rumbler

This:

Quote
A Certain Scientific Railgun - Kids with psychokinetic powers live in a futuristic city and help keep the peace. The first episode does a good job of setting this up and manages to avoid one of the biggest problems plaguing new anime: info dump. It gives you the information you need in a way that comes across as a lot more natural than in a lot of series. There's nothing about some shadowy conspiracy or shadowy organizations or shadowy figures. There's Judgement [the city's police force], ESP powers, and varying levels of ESP powers. That's pretty much what the first episode gives you, aside from introducing the four main characters. The highlights of the show are the animation during the action sequences, which is fluid and well-done, and the backgrounds, which are vibrant and detailed. The characters themselves probably won't win any awards for originality, but they do seem to have some depth beyond that.

The Good: Animation during action sequences, backgrounds, good basis for some cool stuff later on, and the characters are slightly above the norm for anime.

The Bad: Cheesecake [Shock!] is present from episode one and it sets the basis for more to come [one of the girls is in love with another of the girls, so expected LOTS of jokes stemming from this].

Hard to tell where it's going to go from here, but the first episode was pretty good.

to be honest, I was going to mention the main character was a wuss but thought that would scare off anyone wanting to watch it  :-[

It's part of his development through the series.  His back story is essentially that he likes baseball but wasn't very good.  Since at his last school he had connections to the owner, he chose to be greedy and keep pitching, making his entire team hate him.  To try and counter this, he trained a lot but the only thing about his pitching that got better was the control.  This didn't matter much since the catcher was also shit.  Most of the actual baseball that happens in the show is the new catcher dictating all his pitching and using a lot of strategic plays.  He never quite stops being autistic, but he gets better and there is more focus on the team as a whole later on.


But try One Outs.  I posted about it before.   That one is good, honest!

Out of boredom, I decided to watch one of the new fall shows not yet mentioned here.  Went for Kampfer, since the description said something like "this is quite possibly the worst show we've ever subbed."   :lol

SPOILER REVIEW

I figured this was going to be a tired old harem animu, but it wasn't.  The cutesy intro and ending do not fit the show's theme at all, and it was surprisingly light on fan-servicey stuff.  Not a panty shot in sight.  The premise is a Ranma 1/2 rip-off about a boy who finds himself turned into a girl, because he's been chosen as a "Kampfer" (due to having this bizarre stuffed animal with its guts hanging out and blood drooling out its mouth) and Kampfers must be female, and their job is to fight against other Kampfers for unexplained reasons.  Uh...right.  S/he takes on another Kampfer, who's some psycho red head with a pistol, but ends up rescuing her when a telephone pole is about to fall on top of her.  While this is going on, the girl he likes is watching, and he rescues her from being shot by psycho-bitch too. 

What I liked about this show was that it didn't come off as a harem anime, but there's still that chance that it may turn into this, since the protagonist is the only "male" main character.  But at least he has a strong personality and even talked to the girl he wants to go out with, without typical animu loser crap going on.  No blushing, no "I'M TALKING TO XXXXXX-SAN, YIIIIIIIIIIII" type garbage.  He was pretty confident.  So at school, he gets called out of class by this timid girl (the male and female students are split between two sides of the school) whose description of stuff sounds like the wrong thing (lots of innuendo), but it was a little lol-worthy.  Timid girl is actually psycho bitch; when its Kampfer time, her personality changes.  The show deals a little bit with the shemale's predicament when going female (like being uncomfortable in a skirt, and wondering how the hell to use the toilet, that sort of thing), then ends with more action.  The only really cringe-worthy animu moment was towards the end, when shemale's crush tells him that she's "interested" in the girl that saved her earlier, which is of course actually him.  You can already picture the wacky animu hi-jinx that will ensue from this.  Overall it was nothing special; the big shock here is that this is NOT Queen's Blade-level perversion, and is in fact far from it.

There also seems to be a number of huge-breasted chicks in the manga and anime, too. 

Quote
"One Piece" is now into the "Thriller Bark" saga, and the creators of the
anime have obviously decided that they need to "compete" for attention
against some of the other current series. Therefore, episode 341 had an
extended Nami shower and bath scene.

One has to wonder if this will help the DVD sales, given that in other
series "steam" has a way of disappearing on the R2 DVDs.

Quote
I don't normally consider "One Piece" as a fan service anime. Sure, the
girls are generally busty, and there was that one part in the "Thriller
Bark" arc where Nami spent a lot of screen time wearing nothing but some
water droplets, but otherwise I've always thought of One Piece being a
fairly service-free anime. Now, with the "Amazon Lili" arc, I'm having to
reconsider my position.

The main One Piece story line restarted in episode 408 after two episodes of
filler, just after Luffy and gang were convincingly destroyed by World
Government forces on Sabaody Island. Luffy was blasted into the sky by Kuma,
and ended up on an island of Amazons, where no men are allowed. Okay, what's
the traditional attire of "Amazon Women" movies? Yes, you've got it - very
little at all.

What we have here are literally hundreds and hundreds of individual One
Piece-style women, the majority of whom are busty, dressed in very skimpy
outfits - usually bikini tops or revealing halter tops. The women come in
all shapes and sizes, but the common factor is that they are all showing
lots and lots of skin. Except for the absence (so far) of visible nipples,
this arc is "Queen's Blade", but with a couple orders of magnitude more
quantity of skimpily dressed females.

But none of the bloggers appear to be noticing this. Instead, what has been
grabbing everyone's attention is Luffy's state of undress and half-dress.
Luffy spent the second half of episode 408 naked, except for some
strategically placed soap bubbles, and he spent the first half of episode
409 naked from the waist down. As with Frankie, Luffy seems quite at ease
exhibiting his "kintama" to all of the women. And having his "mushroom"
almost pulled off didn't awaken Luffy either.

Time of Eve is good, there just isn't much of it.  What ep are they on these days anyways?  I think I saw up to 3 or 4.

There's six episodes in all. The last one aired back in September.

Hey, the lyte edge™, I found the perfect show for you:

Quote
Sora no Otoshimono

You know those nightmares where you get up in front of your class to do a presentation only to realize that you're stark naked? Given the choice to live that nightmare or watch Sora no Otoshimono…well, I'd probably go with Sora no Otoshimono. But only by a hair.

Scrawny twerp Tomo has a recurring dream about a winged girl who leaves him to live in the sky. When he asks a warped classmate about it, he is sent to a nighttime rendezvous with a black hole-thing, from which falls a (different?) winged girl who instantly imprints on him and promises to do anything, anything he wants her to. Let the rampaging of the libido begin.

There's wish-fulfillment and then there's diseased fantasy.  This is the latter. When Ikaros imprints on Tomo, a chain sprouts from her collar (yes, she wears a collar) and wraps around his hand. He spends the rest of the episode literally leading her around by a chain. That is when he isn't ogling her, telling her to strip, and almost (but not quite, he is a good guy after all) forcing himself on her. And that's before Tomo discovers that Ikaros can stop time and render him invisible. After watching Tomo run amuck like a naked, invisible SD leprechaun groping and stripping panties off of unsuspecting girls, you'll need a bucket of soap and a scouring pad to feel clean again. And to add insult to injury, the episode tries to take an emotional turn at the end (no, seriously) that leaves its stinky, sticky fingerprints all over every heartstring it tries to pluck. Never have I been so ashamed to be a man.

The Book of Bantorra could be good later on, but the first episode just left me cold. Probably in part because of the terribad CG. 2D backdrops in the second half of the episode look amazing, though.

Finished watched Time of Eve. People that claim there aren't any good animes these days need look no further than this simple, internet-released series. This is the sort of the thing that Surrogates should have been. Both deal with mysteries and conspiracies related to new technology, but only Time of Eve relegates those to background details and focuses directly on how this technology impacts human beings and the way they live their lives.

Kanokon's story revolves around Kouta Oyamada, a young first-year high school student who moves from the country to the city and thus transfers to Kunpō High School. On his first day at his new school, he meets a beautiful second-year female student named Chizuru Minamoto. Chizuru asks him to meet her alone in the music room. When he arrives, she tells him that she is in love with him and accidentally reveals to him that she is in fact a fox spirit. Chizuru constantly flirts with Kouta which embarrasses him greatly due to others watching. Soon after the story begins, a wolf spirit named Nozomu Ezomori transfers into Kouta's school and class. From day one, she is all over Kouta which serves to embarrass him more and cause Chizuru to become annoyed at her new competition for Kouta's affection.

the amazon lily arc isn't really fan service-y, because it's an island full of fuckin' amazons. 3/4s of them are fat, old, or creepy -- it'd be weird if the occasional one wasn't supposed to be attractive. hancock dresses like a slut, but that's because her powers revolve around her ability to inspire desire. i'm not saying anime should disavow any/all sexuality, but its alright if it is largely justified by the context of the story, instead of BEING the context. plus oda doesn't draw females particularly attractively, anyhow!

Also what do you mean by "recently-released?"  New season or something?  This is another show I'd like to watch, but I've read all the manga up to around volume 12 or so.  I like that despite having very few (human) male characters, it isn't harem crap.  I love Mine Yoshizaki's artwork...he did the designs for Otomedius and also the guest character Angol Fear (which totally did not fit the game) in Soul Calibur IV.

Oh look, another first episode review!

Kobato - In a Madhouse production of a Clamp manga, a mysterious girl [Kobato] comes from...somewhere...to Earth, along with her talking, blue dog named Ioryogi, to fill up a bottle with scarred hearts in order to fulfill her wish. It sounds like the perfect setup for some major otaku-bating, but it actually comes across as way more of an Aria-like show than most of the other crud that's come out recently. Meaning: no fanservice, no goopy love stories with bland, milquetoast nerds, and no overt otaku-baiting. There's lots of pastel colors, water-color backgrounds, and slice of life antics. Nothing amazing here really, but it's entertaining fluff that won't make you want to smash your brains out with a hammer. One of the recurring gags is that Ioryogi breathes fire on Kobato when she screws up, which is fairly often.

The Bad: Almost too cute for its own good, but it's not in a pervy, otaku-bating way at least.

The Good: Light and inoffensive.

Revised rankings for Fall '09:

1. A Certain Scientific Railgun
2. Kobato
3. Letter Bee
4. Sacred Blacksmith
5. Armed Librarians: The Book of Bantorra
6. Nyan Koi

Another round of first episodes and one second episode!

Shin Koihime Musou: Spinoff series of anime based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms with all-girl cast. Vapid, lots of fanservice.

11Eyes: Lots of supernatural goings-on, some highschool hijinks, and lots of inexplicable panty shots [well, I guess it's not THAT inexplicable considering the source material: a hentai game]. Somewhat reminiscent of Persona 3 down to the weird dark-world, Junpei-esque side character, and highschool-aged characters.

Book of Bantorra episode 2: Better than episode 1 and features much less terribad CG. Still not quite THERE, but I may stick around a little bit longer to see if it can make the leap.

They're supposed to be warriors but the first episodes consists of a battle that last approximately 1 minutes and the other 20 minutes is about one girl obsessing about calling another of the girl's by her first name, a lot of misunderstandings ensue.

Scientific Railgun episode 2 came out today as well. It's pretty much more of the same as in episode one [lesbian hijinks, slice of life sort of stuff], but whatever, it's funny okay? Anyway, the guy that can repel Misaka's power makes a brief cameo, along with some thumping music, and there's also an awesome guitar track that plays along with the appearance of the dorm manager. Looks like we might get some real stuff going in the next episode.

The first episode was just a mess of info-dump, horrible CG, and characters that I'm given no reason to care about. The third one is still in play, though to a slightly lesser extent, but the other two got mostly rectified. Still, I'm not quite feeling it just yet. Episode 3 will most likely be the make or break episode for me.

Yeah, that's another one. It's clear that this is a series that really, really WANTS to be great and intelligent, but sometimes it feels like everyone involved is slightly in over their head or aren't entirely sure what they should be doing, so sometimes you have moments of brilliance shining through but then you have a lot of moments where everything feels off. They've still got a long ways to go to the finale, so maybe they get some momentum.

Yumeiro Patissiere - Pure food porn, with some classical music. Nothing special.

Sacred Blacksmith episode #2 - Story finally shows up, but main characters are still pretty flat and uninteresting. Seriously considering dropping this one.

Letter Bee episode #2 - A bit more of the same sort of thing from episode one. Art style is still really, really good. End of episode marks the end of the prologue and the start of the main story.

Fairy Tail - MEEEEEEEH. Outside of the CG from Bantorra, this is probably the cheapest and blandest animation I've seen. It's flat, has a low framerate, and minimal movements. Background characters are embarrassingly undetailed. It doesn't really help that everything Fairy Tail does has been done before and better by a lot of other shows. The only saving grace of the first episode is that it has a smattering of genuinely funny moments and most of the backgrounds look nice. Thumbs down.

1. Armed Librarians: The Book of Bantorra [4 episodes]
2. A Certain Scientific Railgun [4 episodes]
3. Tentai Senshi Sunred season 2 [2 episodes]
4. Aoi Bungako
5. Kuchu Buranko
6. Letter Bee [3 episodes]
7. Kimi ni Todoke [3 episodes]
8. Kobato [3 episodes]
9. Sasameki Koto [3 episodes, might drop]
10. 11Eyes [3 episodes, might drop]
11. Sacred Blacksmith [3 episodes, might drop]
12. Yumeiro Patissiere [2 episodes, dropped]
13. Kiddy Girl-AND [2 episodes, might drop]
14. Nyan Koi [dropped]
15. Fairy Tail [dropped]
16. Kampfer [dropped]

That's probably the last of these that I'll do since everything's pretty much out already. I haven't been watching Darker than Black 2 because I never did see the first one, unfortunately.

Great Rumbler, which of those are the more serious animes? I'm not in the mood for comedies or lovey dovey shit right now.

Bantorra - A bit like a Gonzo series, but it's been really good after the terrible first episode. Episode 4 kind of throws a curveball though, so it's hard to say for sure if it'll stay as good as the past three episodes have been.

Aoi Bungaka - Serious drama series based on Japanese literature. 12 episodes, 6 different stories. First episode was really good and had some of the most striking visuals of the season.

That's about it, unfortunately.

Man, so far season 3 in Major sucks balls. Is it really so hard for Goro to join a team that doesn't suck? Why is it always "I WANT TO FIGHT THE BEST"? Dammit. I wanted to see Goro and Toshi as a BADASS battery. This gives very little fulfillment for the viewer.

We have seen the "make a shitty team THE BEST EVER" plot strand two times already in the series, why do it again for  THIRD time? On top of this, the whole"Let's go to a school that has no baseball club so we can start a baseball club out of nothing and make it THE BEST TEAM EVER" thing is a total baseball anime cliche.

Bantorra - Quality jumped after the first episodes. 4th episode was great. Could be this seaon's best show.

Letter Bee - Good fantasy series with a really great visual style. A bit on the light side early on.

Trapeze - Second episode came out today. First episode was so bizarrely awesome.

Tentai Senshi Sunred - One of my favorite comedies since Cromartie High School.

Aoi Bungaku - First episode was really good. Heavy emphasis on drama, no emphasis on animu stuff.

Darker than Black 2 - Haven't seen it since I never watched the first season, but everyone says that it's really good.

With the advent of Gundam Unicorn and the Hellsing ovas, I think I'm pretty much an ova and movie exclusive guy when it comes to anime these days, because the anime series are, well, they're not good.

Watching a new anime once or twice a year is good for me. I'm no longer a teenager.

I love Shirow, but in general I find his comics visually luscious but incomprehensible. The GITS movies were similarly dry and confounding, but not even as visually pleasing.

Same here.  Ghost In The Shell is probably the worst in that regard, maybe followed by Orion (but damn did I love those characters-- Susano is bad-ass).  The original Dominion is still my overall favorite.

Appleseed was okay. Go in with the Roland Emmerich mentality: no plot lots of action.

Cool!  There was another group doing this, but its taking them fucking forever...they had four episodes done last time I checked.

Yeah Live-Evil, they suck. They were subbing Chiko, Daughter of Twenty Faces and it took them about 8 months between the release of Episode 21 and Episode 22, about a year after the show had finished airing. Poop or get off the pot, dudes.

Our friends from Russia came through for us in a big way.

They've also been subbing the original Space Adventure Cobra TV series and it even comes with a Russian DUB!  :o

Alright, I think we're deep enough into the fall season to make some conclusions as to which series are worth watching.

Armed Librarians: Book of Bantorra - Along with Dark than Black 2 [which I haven't seen since I missed watching the first season] is this season's action show. Some of the animation isn't too great, especially the CG, but it presents an interesting world and the prospect of an intriguing story. Currently my favorite series of the season.

Letter Bee - This season's top fantasy series. The main draw is the world, which is a place that's lit entirely by a small, artificial sun that leaves much of the world in near darkness. The story revolves around Lag Seeing [the names is this series are bizarre] who wants to become a Letter Bee, letter carriers who have passes that let them travel all over the world delivering packages and letters. The art is some of the most striking I've seen and easily the best this season. Overall animation is uneven at times though.

Trapeze - This season's psychedelic drug trip. The story is about a doctor, who appears in three different forms, who helps people with bizarre physical/psychological disorders, mainly by giving them an injection of some kind and then following them through their daily lives. It's trippy, very trippy and often hilarious. Animation is...present.

Blue Literature - This season's non-animu drama. Everything is played straight in this series and there's very little humor. It's kind of a downer through the first story arc, but it's interesting nonetheless. Some very good animation here. Very surreal at times.

A Certain Scientific Railgun - This season's unabashed animu series. It's got fanservice, highschool hijinks, and fast-paced action scenes with a thumping techno soundtrack. Story meanders a lot and is mainly focused on slice of life stuff. Animu haters stay far away.

I'm watching this OVA series called Genocyber and, ya know, watching it...kind of makes me want to die. The second episodes had a major plot point that revolved around a group of kids being brutally ripped apart in the most violent manner possible. Now, I know what you're thinking, surely an anime like that much be TOTALLY AWESOME, but everything surrounding that scene is pointlessly dull and pointlessly incomprehensible and all the characters are so one-dimensional and stupid and unlikeable that the bursts of super-violence only make the show even more soul-crushingly depressing. Little wonder it's from Koichi Ohata, the man behind MD Geist.

I've slogged through an hour and half, but there's still an hour left. If I don't post any tomorrow, you guys will know why.  :-\

Does anyone know about Funimation's blu-ray releases?  I decided to go ahead and try one of their sets (Burst Angel); figured $40 for a complete TV series was worth a shot.  Witchblade just came out a couple of days ago.  I have the DVD set but have yet to watch it.  Figure the jump in quality is probably not worth buying again, since it was never broadcast in HD.

Also I see that Akira is on blu-ray.  Any point in bothering?  Basically, are any of these blu-rays worth it if you have the DVDs already?  Maybe it's the wrong method of thinking, but it seems like it would be easier to clean up the picture and improve the color on animation over live-action...

This season produce an unexpected gem in the form of a short movie called Cencoroll. It's best described as a grown-up Pokemon with people who control strange alien monsters that had various abilities [one can make itself invisible and another can transform into itself]. Definitely worth watching.

I will buy Darker than Black Blu ray box if Funi bring it over here but other than that don't think I will bother, maybe Sengoku Basara and Gurren Lagann if they ever get the Blu ray treatment. 99% of my animu are from the interbutt (that 1% is Gurren Lagann DVD) so I can buy these Blu ray releases with ease since I never bought them on DVDs, as long as they ain't total upscale shite.

and oh, don't buy Full Metal Panic, all the Blu ray screenshots I saw of it are very, very shitty upscales.

But how much better-looking is it than the SE DVD?  I also hate how blu-ray releases have no extras.  I end up not buying them and waiting to see if an SE version hits later.  The first one I ever bought that lacked extras was Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (on vacation in Hawaii; saw it for $14 and figured what the hey), and it's missing all of the massive amount of extra content that comes on a second disc in the DVD version.  WTF is the point?  My blu-ray collection remains pretty tiny, simply because it seems like it's just not worth bothering with replacing the movies I have on DVD.

I'm waiting for that Samurai Champloo Blu-Ray, it comes out in December.

Yeah, I might get that.  The only thing stopping me is that after having watched the series once, I don't have any real urge to go back and watch it again.

I dunno about Gurren Lagann (DVD picture looks pretty damn good already), but I'd definitely buy Basara on blu-ray.  If series get GOOD blu-ray releases and they are priced reasonably, I will actually buy anime for once.  Those funi sets I was looking at are around $40 on Amazon, but the MSRP is twice that.   :lol ::)

I'd be shocked to find out if he was a writer, though.  Ohata directed AND wrote Genocyber.  That's probably why it sucked.  And he created MD Geist.  So I guess he ain't bad when handling other people's stuff.   :lol

I'm now on season 4 of Major.

Goro goes to America to try out for the major leagues.

There's this one hilarious part where they have to team up to win a game in tryouts. There's this white guy on the team, and this black dude goes up to greet him to which he's given the following response,"Sorry, I don't befriend people who aren't white. If you want me to shake your hand, I could go touch a toilet later if you wish."

And I just bust out laughing.

It's cute, Japan's depiction of America. I mean, I'm not denying that racism doesn't exist any longer, but no one in their right mind would say that shit. This show continues to be as ridiculous as possible and it keeps topping itself. :lol
Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: bork on November 18, 2009, 03:41:08 AM
Has anyone translated the Major manga?  It's like 72 volumes long!  I was reading up on it on Wikipedia, and it sounds pretty cool.  Starts with the Goro's dad getting dead-balled in a Japanese pro game, winning, but then dying due to internal bleeding, and then it switches to Goro as a little kid and follows him all the way up from little league, to high school ball, to the American minors, and then the majors.  Crazy!  He also goes up against
spoiler (click to show/hide)
the guy who dead-balled his dad and eventually beats him.
[close]

How far does the anime series go?  The manga is still on-going.

The only sports series I ever got into was Harlem Beat, a basketball manga.  I liked it because it focused on street ball instead of high school animu stuff, and enjoyed the story and characters.  Basically, you have this everyday typical kid who always quits clubs/sports teams instead of trying to get better.  He tries out for the basketball team, gets sent to buy some equipment, and runs into an old female classmate from elementary school.  She takes him to a street hoop, run by an undefeated team.  One of the members shows up and they play, and the kid is about to give up, but the girl essentially calls him a little bitch, and he bucks up, gives it a try, and ends up doing a high jump into air walk, scoring a basket off the member that no one else could beat.  This series had two major problems: One, the publisher was Mixxzine/Tokyopop.  They changed character names to more "Americanized" titles, then after 7-8 volumes, put the series on hiatus.  That leads to the other problem, which is when they brought it back under the name "Rebound," but skipped ahead and didn't bother with several volumes, fucking up the continuity.  I loved the first 5-6 volumes, which focused on street ball, and then shifted to the high school team, with several members using street smarts to win.  But then it basically just became all high school-stuff, without the street ball, and I lost a lot of interest.  I have no idea if Tokyopop ever finished translating it.

The author, Yuriko Nishiyama, then did another series that Tokyopop brought over, called "Dragon Voice."  It was basically Harlem Beat with a boy band.  I never thought a comic about pop music singers could be fun, but somehow it worked.

I have been looking for Major manga, lyte, and have been unsuccessful.

Major is good, but it's not the greatest sports anime/manga. It's no Slam Dunk, but it's fun enough to watch. Though, at times, it gets to a point where you're like WHY DO I BOTHER.

And the beginning part of the series is the best. The growing up aspect is one of my favorite parts of the series.

I think the anime is on season 5 now. I'm not sure if they're on Season 6 or what yet, because I only see up to season 5 on Major Ja Nai (the fansubber who does Major).

With that said, I downloaded Wicked City the other night. I really got into it for awhile, and I almost wanted to recommend it to some friends, but why the hell does it need so much weird sexual stuff? Like, why does that tentacle parasite have to enter the girl's throat in such a sexually penetrative fashion? And why does the spider demon shoot webbing from a toothed vagina? Most of the movie is fucking badass - the action scenes, the overall premise, the characters, but I know if I tried to show it to most of my friends they'd be like "wtf, you perv" when those scenes came up.

These days it's moe; in the late-80's through the mid-90's it was weird sexual stuff. Especially in movies and OVAs.

Also, Wicked City was directed by the same guy that did Ninja Scroll, so no surprise there.

Title: Re: The Bore Anime Thread
Post by: bork on November 19, 2009, 08:41:40 PM
I think for quite a lot of people who were teenagers/adults in the 90's, anime can be defined by Ninja Scroll, Ghost In The Shell, and Akira.  When I was in high school, it was those three plus SFII The Animated Movie (with dubbed-in GRUNGE SOUNDTRACK!!  YEAH HARDCORE!!)


These days it's moe; in the late-80's through the mid-90's it was weird sexual stuff. Especially in movies and OVAs.

Also, Wicked City was directed by the same guy that did Ninja Scroll, so no surprise there.

I wouldn't make that comparison; stuff like Wicked City you could count on one hand back then, whereas moe is like EVERYTHING now.  I haven't seen it in years, but Wicked City's sexual stuff would probably be pretty tame nowadays.  It's not like it showed any of the naughty bits, and those scenes were very brief.  I wouldn't exactly equate it to say, Urotsukidoji from back then. 

Those were definitely the days when you had companies bringing out any anime they could find with BLOOD!  and SEX!  "BECAUSE ANIME IS MATURE!  NOT FOR KIDS!" was their M.O.

I woundn't make that comparison; stuff like Wicked City you could count on one hand back then, whereas moe is like EVERYTHING now.

It wasn't so much on TV, as I said, but there were a lot of OVAs from back then that delved into that sort of thing.

what is it about

People with psychological disorders go to an unorthodox psychiatrist for help with their problems. He generally solves them by giving them a "vitamin" shot and then inserting himself into their lives to try to help them figure out the causes of their problems and what they need to do to solve them.

All of which tells you very little about what the show is actually LIKE. It's trippy, hilarious, and off-the-wall.

Also, Onamori Himari sounds exactly the same as this other moe show from several years back, only that show had dog-spirits instead of cat-spirits. 

Anyway, there's a couple of shows in there I will check out.  Or rather, will probably download and never watch, just like this season.  The artwork on Katanagatari looks pretty cool.

Chu-Bra is based on a manga by Yumi Nakata.  Yes, a woman.  I knew her name sounded familiar...read a decidedly "ecchi" series from her called "Shitamachi Madonna Shokudou" when I was in Japan that never came out in English.  Pretty much just had typical fan service.  The plot on Chu-Bra is described as "Azumanga Daioh with panties as the focus." 

Uh, sorry.  I don't think even I can handle this one.

Nah, I read that years back.  It was clearly a comic made for girls of that age (also written and drawn by a woman) and was more in the "gross-out/comedy" vein like a lot of boys' comics with similar themes are.  I dunno if the anime adaption perved it up or not though.

Hopefully it keeps this up.

It's pretty much the funniest animated comedy currently airing. Each episode has been consistently hilarious and, unlike the vast majority of animes recently, it doesn't pander to the animu/moe set.

Wow, how did I forget about DMC already?! *checks DVD shelf* Ah, that would be why. But there's no more episodes of that either, so something's gotta fill the void. And DMC is really more Adult Swim than shows Cromartie and Sunred.

It's awesome.  The more they announce crap after crap the more they justify my position on giving up on anime!

Apparently I'm watching nothing until the next Hellsing OAV and then Unicorn OAV1 after that.  I will possibly give the show by the Baccano team a shot after its done if people say it's excellent.  But since 90% of the reason Baccano rocked was the source material, I'm not going to expect their next project to automatically be great.

And no, that Sunred clip does not make me want to devote hours of my time to watch the episodies.  It was cute for 1 min, but I had to force myself through the whole clip hoping there'd be more than just 1 joke repeated over and over.

I'm a borderline fan of the FMA manga.  It reads really, really well and is a total page-turner.  Good art too and some enjoyable characters.  Feels big and epic.

...but whenever I stop and think about the plot points I come away feeling the story behind it all is kinda lame.  I actually like the first anime's original plot much, much better (not counting the shitty movie).  Although Ling is an awesome character so I give the manga story that and Pride is way better in the manga story too.

I like the story and characters more in the manga.  Reading it all, it makes the old anime seem like they tried too hard to give characters a lot of motivation for their actions.  The manga is a lot more simple, but at least it isn't as contrived.

If Wrath doesn't turn on Father and fight for humanity I will hate the manga story.  They've been setting Wrath's betrayal up for years and now it looks like they might not go through with it and just have him die against Scar.  Huge cop-out if that happens.

ive watched evangelion recently, like a couple months ago, its still pretty good today i think
watch the series, then skip to end of eva, their is another movie but its like a recap + the first part of end of eva put together so its a waste of time
end of eva has some great scenes and is a much better ending imo than that tv crap, its still plenty mindfucked tho

if you like waiting, like a couple more years, they are actually redoing the entire series "rebuild of evangelion" which is I guess the guy who created the series doing it all again with a much nicer budget and more time

Its about 40 chapters currently. Which translates into, well, 40 episodes since they've been going at a 1-1 pace for the last few years.

Apparently volume 4 mentioned that he was 17. Although he ought to be at least in his 20's by now.
there was a rumor where Oda has recently indicated that Luffy is still 17 and this current battle will be the last of that age.

Yeah, apparently in that "Volume 0" book they handed out at the new movie, Oda had written something like "This will be Luffy's last adventure as a 17 year old, so please enjoy it!". Currently, no one knows what the hell he meant by that or why its the movie that will be hist last adventure.

Personally I tend to just ignore those ramblings by the author because they're always misleading. For example, once he mentioned that a crew member would die that year and then 3 years later the ship "died". So yeah...

As for Hancock, there's only about a 10 year age difference between her and Luffy. Its just that Luffy acts like a 5 year old while she acts like a mentally disturbed milf.

whole yin thing wasn't to my liking, she should have stayed as a doll and aided chinese electric batman like usual instead of some fucked up nia like character, it doesn't help that they don't explain shit about her leaving you to wait for some dvd ova special bullshit.

overall, pleased with the sequel thanks to the good fight scenes and the gorgeous bones art/animation, the new characters were also good (like Hazuki and August 7) along with returning characters (July is a pimp and you know it).

as for the ending, like season 1 it is some hell gate bullshit blahblahblah (i would have actually loved it if they didn't "kill" suo's character, what a waste) and leaves a room for a sequel, i will welcome it as long as Hei is in, he just makes every fight more interesting but i dunno, they ended this one fast with only 12 episodes and whole animu business doesn't look all that good recently so this might actually be the last dtb.

as for the ending, like season 1 it is some hell gate bullshit blahblahblah (i would have actually loved it if they didn't "kill" suo's character, what a waste) and leaves a room for a sequel, i will welcome it as long as Hei is in, he just makes every fight more interesting but i dunno, they ended this one fast with only 12 episodes and whole animu business doesn't look all that good recently so this might actually be the last dtb.

the most they have said was that she and Hei eventually got separated and she got caught and turned into that.

actually whole Hei kicking ass with no powers was also briefly seen in season 1 (flashback scene where he was pretending to be a contractor just to be with his sister, Pai).

though as seen in the very first two episodes in season 2, he kicks more ass with his powers (his fight against August 7 the magician is so amazing) but then again all his fights with Hazuki were also amazing.

anyway like season 1, i don't wanna to think too much about whole story/ending and just want to be surprised at a sequel announcement a year or two later.

Make money off of nerds like me who are willing to import? They originally said that Gundam U.C. would get a simultaneous worldwide release, but Bandai's March 2010 release has come and gone without any mention of it, nor has it been announced for anywhere else outside Japan.

Maybe they're going back on the simultaneous release idea and it will get released at a later date. But I really don't care, I'm not waiting a year for them to figure out what the fuck is going on in North America. Bandai has given up on Gundam in North America the last couple years, fuck 'em.

If you people remember that anime coming soon about a dude who fights shit and gets power from breast milk, i decided to read the manga and holy shit is it ecchi beyond belief (constant nudity, milk drinking, bondage, S and M, lolis, etc). Aside from that its actually a somewhat decent story which takes existing stuff from shonen stories.

I'm now curious on how the anime is gonna handle alot of this crap.

Fall Season 2009 Recap:

-A Certain Scientific Railgun: Could have been much better than it is, but the direction is really bland and lifeless. Any attempts by the writers to inject tension into the show is wasted by an over-reliance on have characters explain every single thing or quickly resolving any issues as quickly as possible. It gets interesting leading up to the halfway point, but that arc is quickly finished up and then it goes on to a standard issue beach episode. 7 out of 10.

-Trapeze: One of this season's bright shining stars. It's weird, it's crazy, and it's absolutely hilarious. But it also offers a glimpse into the lives of people coping with psychological issues and how they overcome them. At times poignant and at others so very funny. It's well worth watching. 8 out of 10.

-Armed Librarians: Another show that could have been much better than it is. Has some very strong individual episodes that are absolutely wasted by a story that jumps from one character and situation to the next with reckless abandon. The overarching story is fairly interesting and sets up a unique world, but too often new characters are introduced, developed, and then killed off after an episode or two. This process has been repeated three or four times throughout the first half. Some of the backgrounds are amazingly detailed, but the CG work [which is thankfully limited] is atrocious. 7 out of 10.

-Letter Bee: This season's fantasy standout. The world in the series is amazingly to look at and delve into, though the story is a bit lacking. Most of the episodes are just standalones that center on developing aspects of the main characters are showing off some part of the world. Nevertheless, it's fun to watch and doesn't take itself too seriously. The main character does have a somewhat annoying trait of crying at some point in every single episode. 7.5 out of 10.

-Tentai Senshi Sunred: A parody of sentai shows that absolutely excels at what it sets out to do. The characters and situations are all just so amazingly funny. Might not be for everyone, but those that appreciate this sort of humor will find nothing to complain about. 8 out of 10.

-Blue Literature: A series of stories from Japanese literature. The first story was really good and the second story started really well, but I just lost interest in it after five episodes. Of all the shows that I've dropped this season, this is the one that I'd be most likely to come back and finish. 8 out of 10.

-Kimi ni Todoke: I really like this show even though there's no reason at all why I should. It's female mind candy and has way too many episodes that end with pointless cliffhangers, but...man, it's just so good. But I still dropped it after 9 episodes because I knew in my heart that it was the right thing to do. 7.5 out of 10.

Everything else from the Fall season can go die in a fire.

Winter Season 2010 Preview:

-Legend of Koizumi: A show about former Japanese Prime Minsters playing mahjong against other world leaders with the peace of the world at stake. It's like a combination between Gurren Lagann and...I don't know...Top Gun or something. Maybe Hot Shots. Anyway, the preview of the first episode [7 minutes out of 30] was absolutely amazing. And absolutely hilarious. This is going to be one to watch.

-Hellsing OVA: Episode 7 came out less than a week ago. It was really good stuff and a cure for the all the moe/animu junk that too many shows have these days. There's also a preview for episode 8 floating around as well.

-Ladies vs. Butlers: Pure, unadulterated garbage. Pulls out every possible cliche and genre trope and crams them into the most vapid excuse for animation I've ever seen. There's tons of fanservice [both censored and not], which clearly demonstrates that the sole purpose of this show is to induce mouth-breathing losers into forking over $30-$40 for two episodes on DVD. Or $40-$50 for two episodes on Bluray. Don't watch this. Don't even watch it ironically. All I did was skip through it and just that little bit of exposure was enough to make me want to puke all over the people who made this.

I can somewhat see the ultra serious (main character's action, attitude, the fights, the enemies, etc) part but not the epic.

Milk drinking is almost secondary in this thing  :lol

It was so difficult to get through it.   :lol 

I tried to watch Kanokon, but I couldn't get through more than a few minutes of it.  The plot seems to be about some big-tittied chick who's really a fox deity trying to fuck a "high school" student who looks like he's seven.  They should have called it "Shotakon."  Whenever I think of the name "Kanokon," I keep picturing a cartoon about characters who love Kano from Mortal Kombat.

I liked Pluto but I think it suffered from the same flaws as Monster & 20th Century Boys.  It's super intriguing and an absolute page turner that builds and builds up the suspense and then in the end the manga can't live up the momentum/mystery that's been built up and so the post-revelations story is meh and unsatisfying.

Agreed on Naruto (should have ended with Exam Arc, everything post time-skip has been lame outside Jiraiya vs. Pain)
Agreed on Bleach (should have ended with Soul Society arc, instead milked for years and it's gotten worse and worse)

But I don't get why people care about HxH anymore.  I used to love HxH during the first few arcs and even Greed Island was ...readable even if it was not great.  But the bug arc has been complete shit.  Even aside from the pencil drawings, the characters are boring, the story sucks, and it's mainly just a bunch of fights now that I can't bring myself to care about because of the two things I mentioned.  This arc should've ended years ago and the manga should have either gotten better or ended.


This is why I read One Piece, because everything else in Jump sucks.

Yeah I'll keep reading Urasawa's stuff because it's very enjoyable, but I just feel he can't close the deal on his stories. 
I usually wait until the entire series is done though and read it in one go because they are such page turners.  Waiting on Billy Bat to finish atm.

The chimera arc is awful in HxH but at least it is getting finished.  Apparently the reason it was on hiatus for a year was because the writer had another baby with the Sailor Moon writer.

Also, right now the Hajime no Ippo manga sucks big time.

I also read Hitman Reborn, which isn't a good series and is confusing as hell right now.  yeah, I need to start one piece.

I read Nijigahara Hologram today which was ok.  I didn't particularly care for it but it was competently written.

Then since I was in the manga mood I spent the last 3 hours finishing up the last 25 chapters of Bokurano and that was sure a waste of time.  No plot twist, no explanation, no positive ending.  Just shit that gets worse and worse and worse and then it ends like you would expect from the beginning.  It read pretty well and was totally depressing the entire time, but since there was no surprises in the end it was just kind of boring.  Especially compared to Narutaru's crazy fucked up ending.

Yeah, Narutaru is probably the most fucked up manga I've ever read.  Like I would be afraid to have copies of the original Japanese version on my shelves in fear of being arrested some day and it used against me.  Narutaru starts out all "hi we're pokemon" and ends up all End of Eva style except incredibly evil, with lots of loli sex and hardcore gore and everyone and everything dying all the time in any way.  I mean hell Dark Horse couldn't even release it uncensored in the US.  The tone kind of reminded me of Saikano, but Saikano had some tact; Narutaru has none.

But after thinking about Bokurano for a few hours, I think it's a much better work from the writer.  The characters are good and I think the author has things to say because especially the later half of Bokurano doesn't really have much shock value stuff, so it's being written for an actual purpose.  The story is really, really simple and because of what the story is, there's very little room for a satisfying conclusion, but I think I enjoyed it overall.  It's kind of nice that it exists in the world of stories as a different take.  Probably the most bleak thing I've ever read.

That's why my post ended with "maybe". I was going to say Cowboy Bebop, but I think that's pretty much a given.

On another note, I watched the first episode of winter anime Chu-Bra. It's bad. Real bad. Some of you might be tempted to ask, "Sure, but is it worse than Ladies vs. Butlers?" and there's really only one response that I can have to that: Would you rather have AIDS or syphilis? That's really what it boils down to.

Although, in Chu-Bra's defense, it does actually have a point, even if that point is really quite horrifying.

I think it's funny that the creator is a woman.

Yes, a woman created it.  Women even put out perverse and even hentai comics.   :o

EDIT: Ah, okay...this is the Yumi Nakata manga.  I read one of her other comics in Japan called "Madonna Shokudou," about a widow who runs a restaurant and her perverted customers.  Nothing sexual, just perverted.  It's really fucked up that she chose to make a comic about underwear centered around MIDDLE SCHOOLERS though.  :wtf

By the way, as someone who taught at Japanese junior high schools, I can also tell you that girls' skirts are not that long, and they wear their P.E. clothes underneath their uniforms, so nothing at all like animu happens.

...Well, except for the time that I got flashed by a student wearing undergarments that she most definitely should NOT have been.   I realized I couldn't even get her scolded for that, because then everybody would be wondering why I knew a student was wearing panties.   :lol

Alright, guys and gals, here's the news you've finally been waiting for: The winter 2009 anime season is officially SAVED. That's right, well and truly saved, courtesy of the creators of Bacano!, meaning that I'm talking about Durarara!!.

First episode is mainly setup since there's a ton of characters all moving around and sometimes interacting with each other, much like Bacano. Right now it's a bit difficult to see where it's going, but that's not really a problem right now. Anyway, the first episode was really good. There were a lot of characters, some that look rather interesting, and a bit of mystery added in. The story is about a highschool kid who has never once left his home town and then transfer to Ikebukoro to go to school with a guy that knew several years ago. But that's just the surface, there's a lot going on beneath that and it looks like a good setup for some awesomeness. Here's the kicker: animu is a minimum, fanservice is zilch, and moe-loli is not found here.

Rejoice, my brothers. Rejoice.

Baka to Test to Shokanjou

It's a highschool comedy show about a guy who's an idiot that's in love with a ditzy girl that's actually really smart. By any and all accounts this show should be not unlike many such horrifyingly awful shows that have polluted every anime season for the past decade, only...it's not. Somehow, despite everything against it, it's actually a really funny show that doesn't take itself seriously, isn't predicated on fanservice, and despite leaning on a few cliches still manages to feel far fresher than a lot of other shows out there.

What sets is apart is this: the show is built around all of the students being segregated into different classes based on their test results. The smart kids get a really awesome room with computers and sofas, the dumb kids get a room that's falling apart and have to sit on straw mats. In order for the dumb kids to get a better class room, they have to defeat that higher classes and take their rooms away through a virtual reality program that creates summoned beings based on tests scores.

It's kind of animu, but actually not a bad way!

  The variety show-style they used was original, but just dragged on for too long.  You could easily do a condensed version of the show in five minutes and not miss a single thing.

Yeah, it's the break between story arcs. Still, that's not even the biggest issue. The direction on this show is just so bland and unengaging. Scenes that should be really tense instead come across as lifeless. It has its moments, I'll give it that.

Yeah, it was pretty uneven but overall it was still fairly interesting. However, it gave me hope that Shaft could turn it into something other than lolibait like the manga was. Maybe that's just false hope though, but we'll know either next week or the week after.

Baka to Test to Shokanjou- You've got to be fucking kidding me.  This is like Megaman Battle Network or Pokemon or some shit, where the kids "battle" each other with points based on their grades, to take over the other classes' (better) classrooms.  I like the art style (and there's a few laughs in there), but this is just dumb so far.  Total animu.

EDIT: They take a make-up exam to recover "hit points?!"   :lol  I'm done with this.  It's a kids' show for the Pokemon crowd.

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu – Last Dumb Impressions

Please go back and try again

Among the tremendous amount of harems, ecchi shows, and romance come Baka to Test, a most original story about straight F students who enjoys dueling. As intriguing as the idea of watching yet another show about students going to school to learn the arts of the dueling and becoming abusive Pokemon masters, Baka to Test is proving to be more that I thought it would in terms of failing to entertain and and moving on to the realm of I don’t see why they still make shows like this except for the fact that people still like it.

Story? Let’s see. We have the top straight +A girl who is most friendly towards the most incompetent guy on the whole student. Mind you, it should be hard to distinguish who is the biggest failure among the large amount of F students though but let’s flip a coin and pick the guy with the who is the undivided center of attention of this show even though he has have no other redeeming qualities to make Baka to Test any more or less interesting. I’m just assuming he’s the main character because he has the most amount of screen-time and his incompetence should make other F students feel better about themselves. Too bad that in those 25 minutes Baka to Test ran he or the show didn’t manage to make me grin once. You’re failing this course, buddy.



Mind you Mizuki’s l33t writing skills was the only redeeming thing I found

I half expected Mizuki to be the Louise of Baka to Tsukaima but that wasn’t the case, for better or for worse. What I sawinstead was that Mizuki was the Miyuki of Baka to Test for better or for worse.  They should have added a pair of glasses to her design if they were going for that appeal.

Although supposedly Mizuki’s presence is supposed to make this show a bit more interesting, it doesn’t accomplish to make any difference at all. Ok, I’m exaggerating she’s likeable just doesn’t shine enough as the trap of the show. At least they introduced his twin sister who is actually not a guy in the first episode… or is she? The rest of the characters are more plain than vanilla flavor. It was more like, Hi, uh-huh, I’ve seen you before. We could be friends but let’s not. Let’s move on.

Mind you, I never had any real interest in RPG games and I don’t understand what’s so great about them. So this might be a good argument to explain why Baka to Test isn’t appealing to me at all. Maybe is the boring characters and ’stupid” premise of a show, the unfunny jokes and a show whose  only good attribute was its surprisingly great animation. Frankly, I doubt that watching an anime with RPG-like battles is going to make me enjoy it any more. Even less when I didn’t find the first episode to be  any more interesting than the rest of the shows that I already stopped watching, but only less painful. Getting Baka To Test out of the way right now will save me the trouble of dropping it later on.

More shows that actually will  manage to catch my attention are supposed to air this week so I’ll patiently wait for them. Hopefully I won’t have to politely ask anime studios to wake me up when the season is over.

Verdict : Dropped

I liked the "trap" character's transformation joke and the generic pervert's reaction to seeing upskirt.  That was about it.

Yup.  Although there's a large part of that first episode that had the typical "WELCOME TO [in this case, Ikebukuro] WHERE IT IS DIFFERENT THAN YOUR SUBURBY-PART OF TOKYO" vibe going on.  At least it wasn't Shinjuku or Shibuya for the umpteenth time.

Even though I had mixed feeling on it, I think you should check out Dance In The Vampire Bund, Bebpo.  The parts with the variety show satirizing the typical kinds of guests (and even the audience) were spot-on.

Durarara was kinda disappointing.  The OP is great and gives Baccano vibes but the actual show is lacking the energy that Baccano had.  Instead it's just kinda like every other anime on the planet.  It's not bad, but it doesn't stand out like Baccano did.  Will give it a few more eps and hope it turns around.

Don't have much hope though, Japan has become a wasteland of talent in every medium.  I dunno what happened, but everything out of that country has been sucking for the last few years in comparison to the quality they produced in the 80s/90s and first few years of 2000s.

I haven't watched it yet since a sub has yet to appear, but apparently Qwaser got chopped up pretty bad by the censors. To the point where you can't even tell what's going on in some of the scenes. Laaaaaame.

I skipped through a RAW.  There was one scene of BREAST MILKS and it was indeed censored.  They zoomed in the upper part of the screen so you couldn't see anything, then it cuts to another girl looking on in horror/amazement as this guy is getting his milk on.  Probably lasted 10 seconds, if that.  Looks like it has good animation, but I wouldn't bother watching unless you are curious about BREAST MILK POWA-UPPU

Maybe they shouldn't make a show about a dude who gets powered up by breast milk.

BREAST MILK

Don't have much hope though, Japan has become a wasteland of talent in every medium.  I dunno what happened, but everything out of that country has been sucking for the last few years in comparison to the quality they produced in the 80s/90s and first few years of 2000s.

Plenty of great games from J-land.  Comics too.  It's just anime that's in the pooper.

I'd argue otherwise but this is an anime thread and not a "decline of the Japanese game & comic industry" thread. :P

Sorry Bebpo, but Detroit Metal City, Yotsuba, Bayonetta, and Street Fighter IV alone negate that argument.

oh i suppose i should also mention that i finally watched all of death note and have never seen a show tank so hard for 20 eps. after 15th eps it just kept getting worse and worse until eps 26 (i think) where things start looking up for a second but any hope of it getting better were dashed away once near and mellow were introduced.

Post by: MCD on January 11, 2010, 05:23:54 AM
try to watch two episodes together since they are connected, like watch 3+4 then you can stop and come back later.

when i first started watching it, i was new to animu (only watched few animu with a friend before it) and i didn't understand how this slow paced episodic story works, stopped at episode 7 for a while then went back later with an open mind and enjoyed the hell out of it.

i just love how it's "mission based", hei taking on missions slowly, interacting with people...etc...

season 2 isn't the same sadly (short and fast, just main story now) but if you love DtB you will probably enjoy it (maybe not the ending) but i think it's better to wait for the 4 OVAs since you don't look like in a hurry anyway.

and btw, i hope you are watching the blu ray rips of DtB, it's 720p only but still look amazing. i want dat boxset dammit.

edit: totally forgot about the manga (http://www.onemanga.com/Darker_Than_Black_-_Shikkoku_no_Hana/) read this only after the 1st season, similar theme too but not complete yet.

Self-professed 'real otaku' rips into 'moe' fetish fakers

One of Japan's most prominent woman manga artists has lashed out at the country's burgeoning otaku culture, saying that those now proudly boasting of being geeks are little more than pedophiles, perverts and losers, according to Shukan Bunshun (5/18).

Mimei Sakamoto, a multitalented manga artist whose "Nippon no Mimei" is a must-read for all hip young Japanese, rips into the otaku, whose geek culture has moved into the mainstream courtesy of the business of "moe," a word that literally translates as "gushing" and describes the warm feeling the otaku get when they see something they like.

"Perhaps it's because 'Train Man' (the story of an otaku who wins the heart of a pretty woman) was such a hit, but recently I've seen all these dorky guys walking around in thick glasses and checkered shirts and it pains my heart to think that they may be hoping to meet some pretty girl who's going to fall in love with them. Sorry guys, the chances of that happening are zero," Sakamoto tells Shukan Bunshun.

Sakamoto goes on to lambaste the otaku tendencies to idolize young girls and women wearing spectacles.

"This fetish you call 'moe' is a pedophiliac fetish and is nothing more than perversion. It's not really something you should be gushing over," the manga artist says, addressing the otaku. "In other countries, they'd call what you're fantasizing over 'child pornography' and you'd all be arrested. I'm ashamed that these 'otaku' who are perpetual criminals have entered the mainstream and started an otaku boom."

Sakamoto continues, saying that those now regarded as otaku really aren't geeks at all.

"All the world is going around talking about maid cafes and stuff and making these so-called otaku look good. But people must realize that these guys are simply men incapable of recognizing reality and are incapable of being in a normal loving relationship. I can't stop crying over the fact that these people have been labeled as otaku and that we are now going through an otaku boom," she tells Shukan Bunshun.

The manga artist also points out that sharp marketers are also suckering the ersatz otaku.

"There's a tendency in the otaku market to avoid producing contents that are going to sell in terms of millions or tens of millions. Instead, they find a semi-hit then bring out figurines, DVD box sets, premium editions and all sorts of related materials that are drastically over-wrapped and sell to the same people who bought the original product in the first place," the manga artist says. "So-called otaku are caught up in this money making cycle and all they're doing is spending their hard-earned yen (which often comes from their parents in a lot of cases). And, what's really sad, is that loads of these gullible suckers don't even realize that they're being taken for a ride."

Sakamoto claims to have street credibility.

"I'm a fully-fledged otaku. I used to shut myself away from the world. A real otaku would never go out and about in the world because they wouldn't believe anything good could happen to them if they did so, anyway. They all believe the world is out to get them," Sakamoto tells Shukan Bunshun. "Real otaku should go back and shut yourselves off from the world again. The true value of being a real otaku lay in the belief that nobody else understands you."

Cobra the Animation

If you've seen the old Space Adventure Cobra series, or maybe some of the recent OVA, you have a pretty good idea of what this show's about. If not, it's about a guy [Cobra] who blasts fools with his psycho gun, hits on hot women [that's WOMEN, as in adult females], cracks jokes in the middle of battle, and gets into lots of scifi adventures. It's also probably the best thing on Japanese TV right now. Cheesy? Oh yes, definitely. But that's why I love it.

Oh wow.  $35 is very doable for me.

I'd given up on importing anime because spending $500 on a tv series was a huge waste of money back in the day when I was into anime.  But I'll pay non-import prices for GUNDAM on blu-ray for sure.

And this is very much a non-import price for us americanos.  I'm sure if I imported it from Japan it'd be like $60-70 an ep after shipping.  I think I paid about $60 an ep to import FLCL as it was coming out >_<  Worth it but still >_<  So $35 no tax, free shipping w/prime = fine price for day 1 Japanese quality anime on blu-ray.  Wish we could have gotten the new Hellsing OAV like this as well.

Episode 2 of Durarara!! was more focused than the first, as expected. It continues to be really, really good and much better than anything else this season.

Episode 2 of Baka to Test was good too. I know lyte hates it, but I think it manages to be just enough of a parody of the battle arena and high school comedy genres to be consistently funny. Yeah, some [most] of the stuff is stuff we've all seen before, but it's got a light-hearted energy to it that just works.

Episode 2 of Cobra the Animation was another injection of pure 80's nostalgia, a much appreciated thing in these dark times.

It's Durarara and it was mentioned earlier in this thread right after the first episode came out.

Quote
Alright, guys and gals, here's the news you've finally been waiting for: The winter 2009 anime season is officially SAVED. That's right, well and truly saved, courtesy of the creators of Bacano!, meaning that I'm talking about Durarara!!.

First episode is mainly setup since there's a ton of characters all moving around and sometimes interacting with each other, much like Bacano. Right now it's a bit difficult to see where it's going, but that's not really a problem right now. Anyway, the first episode was really good. There were a lot of characters, some that look rather interesting, and a bit of mystery added in. The story is about a highschool kid who has never once left his home town and then transfer to Ikebukoro to go to school with a guy that knew several years ago. But that's just the surface, there's a lot going on beneath that and it looks like a good setup for some awesomeness. Here's the kicker: animu is a minimum, fanservice is zilch, and moe-loli is not found here.

Rejoice, my brothers. Rejoice.

This is something I've never understood.

And it's always the people who like stories that want to hold your hand who say it.

Bebpo has a plot, but it's subdued compared to the general story, which is about the universe the story takes place in. The crime, the mobsters, the culture, the worlds, their cities, the sciene experiments. I think Bebop is about humanity and it tries to envision what things would be like if we (as in humans) successfully made colonies in space. I like how refreshing the setting is: I've noticed that in many sci-fi settings, everything looks sleek and high tech, but A LOT of Bebop looks poor and downtrodden. It does this successfully without appearing to be a cyberpunk as well.

Cowboy Bebop still remains the best anime tv series in my eyes.

The direction, writing, dialogue, music, setting, characters, story, plot, themes are such a cut above most standard anime tv series that it's ridiculous. Only few, to me, really stand up to it and that's stuff like Now and Then, Here and There.

Goddamn, I'm turning this into a Bebop thread.

[youtube=560,345]w-jcE8kqK9k[/youtube]

I'm all for less violence and more sex (as in, it's always been fucked up to me that sex is taboo in society and it is reflected this way in TV shows/movies, but violence is no problem!), but naked little girls and borderline molestation scenarios is where the line has to be drawn. 

"Fan service" used to just be like panty shot here or a boob bounce there.  It wasn't the prevalent part of anime.  That's the problem with so many of these shows...it's taken over.  Good writing and story have given way to moe-loli panty shots and harem scenarios.  How many fucking times do we need to see "typical high school student, shy around girls and devoid of personality gets thrust into situation in which various female character stereotypes suddenly vie for his (nonexistent) affection?"  Enough with that shit already.  THINK OF SOMETHING NEW.  Also consider that there is in fact life after grade school and ages 13-16.

Anime is the one instance where people aren't wearing nostalgia goggles when saying the older shows are better.  They really are.  If it's going to take some sort of "anime crash" to make the industry realize that this crap isn't going to sustain them forever, then so be it.

Well, I haven't seen anything even come close to a dead coming back to life, raping a nurse in the morgue, and then growing to the size of a giant while his equally-gigantic member crushes buildings like a runaway subway train.  And then there's a climatic battle where the two characters' dicks are used as weapons!   :lol  That first Urotsukidoji was fucking hilarious.

Yeah, mainly those two. Baka to Test is a pretty good comedy that's bizarre enough and crazy enough to by worth your time if you go in with the right mindset, Sora No Woto has a great setting and some good music but its held back by standard slice-of-life stories and characters, and...uh...there's the third season of Hidamari Sketch which is basically more of the what the first two seasons had.

There's a new show from the guy [girl?] who wrote Umineko and Higurashi, but the first episode didn't really do much for me. Might be worth sticking with though.

So, yeah, mainly Cobra and Durarararararararararararara.

Finally watched the first episode of Katanagatari and it was pretty good. It's a bit more shounen than I would like for it to be [for example: main guy is super-powerful but naive, he is recruited for a quest by a woman who is not super-powerful but is knowledgeable about the world, and they go on a quest to find these special swords with each episode being about them getting another one], but I can overlook that since it's only 12 episodes and won't require a long investment. Art style and animation were both really good.

The listing for the March issue of Fujimi Shobo's Monthly Dragon Age magazine on the Seven Net Shopping website states that an anime adaptation of Daisuke Satō and Shoji Sato's Highschool of the Dead manga has been green-lit. The listing also says that the manga will resume in the same issue after a break of more than a year, and it will also adorn the cover. The March issue will ship on February 9.

The story follows a group of students and a school nurse who try to survive a worldwide plague that has turned people into the living dead.

Complete Dawn of The Dead rip-off, done animu-style.  So huge tits, zombies, and school girls.  They even spend a bunch of time holed up in a mall!  The guy that does the art is a big hentai artist, so expect plenty of ass n' titties -human or zombie- on almost every page.

This first episode really feels like a short but impressive feature film, complete with a big budget and a movie-sized plot. If it has any kinks in it, it's that it still falls into the "boy pilots father's giant robot" storyline that's been a staple of mecha anime for decades, even though initially it didn't look like it would go there. However, Gundam UC, at least with this initial approach, tackles that well-worn story with a little more nuance than we've seen before. Otherwise, it's a beautiful entry into the Gundam franchise thus far and a promising start for Universal Century fans.

Yo, somebody tell me what this Bakemonogatari is?
duckroll is saying it's about to become the highest selling/most popular anime in Japan on blu-ray in a few more releases when it outsells Eva. 

Is this actually a great show?  You'd think if it was selling so much because of the usual otaku pandering or loli pervert shit it wouldn't have enough pull to outsell even Eva, so does that mean there's some real quality involved?  Should I watch the show?

I'm kind of in the same boat, Bebpo. I watched episode 1 when it first came around but it didn't really grab me. Now, it's grown into some huge monstrosity and everyone's talking about it like it's the next Eva or something.

I downloaded the Bluray rips, since the animation has been updated/fixed/completed, and I'm starting it again. It's...kind of otaku pandering [you know, like a tsundere character that REALIZES that she's tsundere], but it's more interesting than most other shows from the past year.

So any seen the DtB ova ep yet?

I watched it.  I wasn't a fan of the original DTB, but it was good enough to at least watch to completion and I skipped dtb2 because it looked distinguished mentally-challenged.  This oav was more of the same from dtb1-style except being short it was pretty rushed with not much story and generic lamo villains.  Still the animation was very solid and it was entertaining so I thought it was worth watching.  Will continue to watch the OAV since it should be short and I hardly watch anime anymore.

The movie/OVA section is hot stuff with Trigun, Gundam Unicorn, Eden of the East movie 2, Armored Trooper Votoms, King of Thorn, Breakblade, and Haruhi Suzumiya.

The series section doesn't look quite as hot though. Senkou no Night Raid, Yojou-han Shinwa Taikei, and Hakouki look interesting; Giant Killing and Arakawa look weird enough to be worth a watch; aaannnddd not much else.

An anime based on the Japanese occupation of China? Night Raid will surely be horribly offensive and xenophobic. :lol

Shinwa and Hakuouki look interesting, but in general, the TV shows look like a bunch of crap.

Yeah, it doesn't look too good. Although, I will admit that the series about the high school girl that dreams of 100 casual sex partners has piqued my interest a bit.

That's not all bad though, since movies and OVAs have bigger budgets and less useless filler.

Here's some newer charts for spring:

Hey Rumbler, have you watched any more of the tortuous Ladies Vs. Butlers?  I was right about the tan-skin character-- she's a muslim.  And they decided to show her stripped-down, nude and then in a burqa.  Wonder if this would cause any shit to hit the fan if this anime ever made it outside Japan?  It's even got some random Farsi text...that kind of thing got the people who put out an old JoJo's anime in trouble before.

I deleted Vampire Bund.  Liked episode 1 okay, but couldn't get into episode 2 and beyond.  It appears to have gone down the "loli girl -who is really much, much older- runs the show" route and then it also seems to take place at a high school too?  And it's all mostly serious?  No thanks.

Really liking Durararararararara now, although since it focuses on different characters, some episodes have been great and others kind of boring.  I think it was #4 that focused on the motorcycle "chick," and that one in particular was kind of boring compared to the previous episode.  Less supernatural, more crazy characters, please.

Post by: Great Rumbler on February 15, 2010, 02:22:16 PM
Baka to Test

This should be a series that I watch the first episode of and then dump. Maybe I don't even watch the first episode. It's a typical highschool-based comedy propped up by battle arena underpinnings that wouldn't look out of place in an episode of Pokemon. The characters are cardboard cutouts from every such show that's ever been made. You've got the dopey main character who's a completely idiot, his best friends who's a body double for Brock, the main character's childhood friend who is self-conscious about her flat chest and prone to violent outbursts, the ditzy female character with huge breasts who just happens to by super-intelligent and in love with the main character, and a host of other genre favorites that pop up to be the butt of a joke. The story features such timeless classics as the pool episode, the treasure hunt episode, and so on. It's also borderline harem and unabashedly animu. By all accounts, it should be generic, forgettable, and worthy of being mercilessly bashed.

But it's actually good! Why?!

Well, the answer to that isn't a simple one. There's absolutely nothing on the surface that might reasonably lead one to conclude that the show has any real merit, having already been undone on account of how many cliches it pulls out right from the start. I think that the creators of the show realized this and decided to go for broke. The show has a sort of manic energy that infuses every episode and makes even boring plot elements and cliched characters seem funnier than they have any right to be.

It's also not above pulling out references to other anime, complete with a shift in art style to go along with it, but, unlike Fall '09 snoozefest Seitokai no Ichizon, the references don't feel like they're being broadcast from a hundred miles away, they actually feel somewhat clever. The battle arena aspect of the show is little more than a comic foil to pop up in the last few minutes of the show to blow through a few more jokes before the credits rolls, rather than trying to be the driving force behind the plot.

In a way, it's a lot like a Shaft series, but without all the self-importance.

Sora no Woto

The first six episode have basically been a K-On! rip set against the backdrop of a crumbling future-world ravaged by war, which is never shown but alluded to from time to time. The episodes were all about girls becoming friends and doing random girl stuff. Mildly amusing, but hardly engaging. Then came episode 7. It basically took a complete u-turn. The war that got alluded to from time to time was shown in great detail as Filicia, the captain of the group in the series, has a serious flare up of PTSD wherein she recalls an incident where the crew she belonged to was completely wiped out, leaving her to crawl her way through a war-torn city flooded with soldiers. One of the secondary plot points of the series is that humanity is on the decline and heading towards an event of some kind that will wipe out the last remaining humans. It's pretty dark, and bloody.

Hopefully this foreshadows the tone of the rest of the series and isn't just some one-off episode.

It's a great new manga about girl's mixed martial arts. There are only six chapters out so far, but it seems very promising. The fact that main character is incredibly mean spirited, while her rival is the tiny and cheerful one makes for an very refreshing change of pace.

holy shit Gundam Unicorn is incredible

I will definitely buy this on blu-ray on March 12th.  I was already planning to, but the first episode already surpassed what I was expecting, and I had high expectations for it.  So, so, so good.

I hear it has a cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers

...and 2nd ep isn't until the fall :X

 :'(

All I'd say is, the first episode was thoroughly satisfying in terms of completeness.  If I didn't need to study for two tests this week, I would watch it again right now.  By Fall I'll end up watching the blu-ray version a couple times too.  No worries here.

I was gonna post Teppu but I see Himu beat me to it. Good stuff and like Otoyomegatari it's released bi monthly, so it's waiting time. And don't be queer MCD read this shit. So I've been watching a bit anime lately and one of them has been HeartCatch Pretty Cure, I normally wouldn't watch a show like this but it's Pretty Cure Casshern and it's really entertaining.

FUCK TON colorful though, prepared to blinded by the colour onslaught. I really like the ending theme:

I thought that Unicorn was supposed to be the first in the series, from a continuity point of view, but they reference the One Year War and Char and all that stuff.

Anyway, recommend me some more Gundam to watch now.  I'm not sure if I'd be able to take the original series at this point, sorry.  I have read the Viz Comics cel comic adaption of Stardust Memory and saw a lot of Wing back in the CN days, but didn't care much for the latter.   

Also still have Code Geass ready to be watched...

Waiting for the DVD here since I don't own a Triple and don't pirate shit.

Give the original a chance. Just watch the movies instead of the actual episodes. I think I watched them for the first time like 2 years ago and I had no problems with it.

I'm sure Himuro and distant will be in here soon, but 08th MS Team and 0083 Stardust Memory are my favorites so far.

Just watched it and its now officially the 4th UC Gundam series worth my fucking time.

So awesome  :o

it also has this slow like feeling (especially the fights, human or mobile suit), but it looks really good and as lyte says feels old school.

I like the main character (huge plus since i couldn't stand amuro in his beginnings) and the others involved in this so far

except the classmates, esp that girl who obviously has a crush on him.

That cliffhanger was so fucked up and i'm actually pumped for the next ep


but 08th MS Team and 0083 Stardust Memory are my favorites so far.

add in Chars Counterattack and thats my UC list   :o

Movie trilogy is good, Zeta TV series is great, ZZ TV series starts out horrible but gets a lot better about halfway through. Finish things up with Char's Counterattack and you'll be caught up for Unicorn.

I love 08th MS Team, War in the Pocket is well done, and 0083 is basically Top Gun(dam)... mindless plot but fuck awesome animation and action.

GIVE IN TO THE DARK SIDE.  You're buying it anyway...watching it early is just like a preview!   8)  One that will run at a higher resolution than the DVD you're going to buy.  :pimp

The continuity is:

First Gundam (the original show)
MS Igloo 1 & 2 (take place concurrently with the original show)
The 8th MS Team (ditto)
War in the Pocket (takes place in the last weeks of the One Year War)
Zeta Gundam
Gundam ZZ
Char's Counterattack
Gundam Unicorn  (takes place a couple of years after Char's Counterattacks, but the plotline centers around the origins of the UC timeline)
Gundam F91
Crossbone Gundam (manga only but one of the most popular spin-offs)
V Gundam

The other Gundam series are all alternate universes that take place outside the original timeline.

To get a good sense of Unicorn's background, I would recommend the original Gundam movie trilogy, the Zeta movies (if you can torrent them),  and Char's Counterattack.  You can get all the info you need from Wikipedia, though, if you don't want to go through all those.

As far as quality, my personal favorite series are MS Igloo, War in the Pocket, and The 8th MS Team.  They're also great in that you can enjoy them without having to know all the background about Gundam and worrying about missed references.  They work great as stand-alone series, they are fun to watch,and they are relatively short.  MS IGloo is six eps, War in the Pocket is four, and 8th MS Team is 13.  I don't really recommend 0083 unless you're a mecha animation freak - the animation is glorious, the designs are cool, but the story is just nonsensical if you're not a Gundam otaku since it's meant to tie in the original show with the events of Zeta and ZZ.

It has the best female Gundam character, though - Cima Garahau, the Mayfly of Space.

yeah, that is about what I would have recommended. 

Movie trilogy of Mobile Suit Gundam 0079, Zeta TV series, and Char's Counterattack in that order.  ZZ isn't that necessary to fully understand what is going on in Unicorn or the general UC plot, not that it's bad or anything.  The other ones mentioned are great series but also more individual tales in the UC rather than affecting the main plot line.

And Unicorn is better if you've seen those series and a fan of Gundam in general.  In the first few minutes you see
spoiler (click to show/hide)
Char's helmets from 0079/MSG and his uniform from Char's Counterattack.  Even before that they are teaching the events of Char's Counterattack in the school
[close]

Also, War in the Pocket (0080) is still one of my favorite if not favorite and parts of Unicorn reminded me of it.  A big reason I like it is because the focus was on civilians living on a space colony.  Other than telling a nice story, the style change meant the sense of scale of mobile suits was that much greater.  Even a Zaku seems like a huge and destructive force in 0080, and most of the battles are slower paced with much more detail.  Plus it features Gundam Alex, which is one of my three favorite mobile suits in any Gundam series.

btw, if you think you want to watch the original Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 series instead of the movie, it isn't exactly worth it.  The movies are better and make changes for the better.  Like, when the rx-78-2 first enters the earth atmosphere in the series, he fucking throws a giant bag in front of the Gundam.  I think in the movies he just has fans that super cool it as it falls.

It's a CGI series focusing on the grunts of the One Year War. The first "season" came out in North America as part of the Honneamise line on DVD, and it was super expensive. I think I was a poor graduate student at the time so I passed on it. It's now out of print and even more super expensive.

but yeah, if you're into hard sci-fi and space, it's really a great series.

I hope that they port the new Gundam vs Gundam to PS3 (at least, since it's based on the hardware) and also make a new One Year War or Side Story game.  Hopefully one that isn't just telling the events of the one year war again.  Something like that one PS2 game UC Climax, except good.

It's great, you'll be fine without understanding Japanese.

Only $42 with shipping included:

You get a better understanding of one of main characters in Unicorn by watching the Zetas in addition to the original MSG trilogy.

I'm considering it

I still want this to be a game:

I bought Journey to Jaburo based on that video thinking it would be kinda sim like and Gundams would be huge and power.  Then I buy it and get this:

It's just a standalone episode set sometime during the first half of the series. Pretty sure it's not based on anything from the manga.

I own MS Igloo.  I guess it's the most rare of all Gundam series.  Seems to be mostly unknown by anyone except diehards, too.

distant, the CGI is not crappy.  They actually use the CGI models used to create Master Grade kits for a lot of the mecha!  It's one of the best Gundam shows I've ever seen.  Centers around a ship in charge of testing experimental Zeon units.  Each episode focuses on a different prototype they're testing out.  The series starts out with self-contained episodes and as the war starts turning against Zeon you see that the prototypes they're in charge of 'testing' are actually cobbled together from already existing mobile suits since they no longer have the resources to roll out new machinery.

Too bad we'll probably never see English versions of MS Igloo 2 now, thanks to Honneamise folding. :(

I just recently read one of the best graphic novels I've had the pleasure of reading.

MW by Tezuka.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2Bd0h2yALL._SS500_.jpg)

Amazing story and as usual it is filled with beautiful, beautiful drawings that light my eyes up. Highly suggested. It costs like 13 bucks on Amazon and it's worth it.

Much darker than his usual offerings, too.

From Amazon:

Review
"Verdict - 9.6
A diabolically epic story.
+ An anti-hero you can't take your eyes off of.
+ Osamu Tezuka. (Need we say more?)
- Possibly Tezuka's bleakest work yet." - Anime media network.

"Created during the period of 1976-1978 MW is a shocker, especially for it's time, both in terms of the potential for terrorism and the phsychological effects on the reader, who, in some cultures, might not easily adapt to this nature of storytelling (for example, what would Hollywood do with this plot?)" - www.anime.com

"MW is a story that will make you think, and will probably make you unhappy about a segment of mankind, and will thrill you in ways that feel uncomfortable. It’s a major graphic novel by a major creator, grappling with the nature of evil in a way that superhero comics only wish they could. And it’s presented in a form nearly transparent to Western readers. From what I’ve seen, Tezuka’s dark works of the ‘60s and ‘70s are easily his best, and MW is right up there." - ComicMix
"The author shrewdly reveals through these characters the vulnerability of human beings and the concept of latent "original sin" that lurks inside us." - Brian Cirulnick --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

Comics god Osamu Tezuka's darkest work, MW is a chilling picaresque of evil. Steering clear of the supernatural as well as the cuddly designs and slapstick humor that enliven many of Tezuka's better-known works, MW explores a stark modern reality where neither divine nor secular justice seems to prevail. This willfully "anti-Tezuka" achievement from the master's own pen nevertheless pulsates with his unique genius.
Michio Yuki has it all: looks, intelligence, a pedigree as the scion of a famous Kabuki family, a promising career at a major bank, legions of female admirers. But underneath the sheen of perfection lurks a secret with the power to shake the world to its foundations.

During a boyhood excursion to one of the southern archipelagos near Okinawa, Yuki barely survived exposure to a poison gas stored at a foreign military facility. The leakage annihilated all of the island's inhabitants but was promptly covered up by the authorities, leaving Yuki as an unacknowledged witness--one whose sense of right and wrong, however, the potent nerve agent managed to obliterate.

Now, fifteen years later, Yuki is a social climber of Balzacian proportions, infiltrating the worlds of finance and politics by day while brutally murdering children and women by night--perversely using his Kabuki-honed skills as a female impersonator to pass himself off as the women he's killed. His drive, however, will not be satiated with a promotion here and a rape there. Michio Yuki has a far more ominous objective: obtaining MW, the ultimate weapon that spared his life but robbed him of all conscience.

There are only two men with any hope of stopping him: one, a brilliant public prosecutor who struggles to build a case against the psychopath; the other, a tormented Catholic priest, Iwao Garai, who shares Yuki'ls past--and frequently his bed.
Serialized beginning in 1976 in Big Comic magazine, where Tezuka's trailblazing medical thriller Ode to Kirihito had appeared a few years earlier, MW probes the complexities of homoeroticism as well as the reality of extensive U.S. military presence in Japan. The result is as bracing today as it was thirty years ago.

“Darker than you think—than you want to think […] MW took on the stuff of today’s headlines some thirty years ago.” —The Agony Column

“MW is the newest of those masterpieces to be translated into English, and like everything else with [Tezuka’s] name on it, you are cheating yourself out of one of the best graphic novels out right now if you don’t read it.” —Advanced Media Network

“Tezuka spins an entertaining, slightly preposterous yarn, serving up more plot twists, car chases, and gender-bending costume changes than Dressed to Kill and The Manchurian Candidate combined.” —popcultureshock

“You’ll stare at the page, eyes popping and muttering, ‘I cannot believe I just read that.’ But you did, and it worked, and you turn the page.” —David Welsh, Comic World News

WEIRDEST MOVIE I HAVE SEEN IN A WHILE. 


I mean the characters and overall plot structure is pretty standard, but the mixing of genre into:
spoiler (click to show/hide)
a family drama movie about fighting an internet virus with kung fu
[close]
is  :lol

It was definitely enjoyable from start to finish.  You have to kind of throw believability out of the window after about halfway, but otherwise it's fun.  I think The Girl Who Lept Through Time was a better movie, but at least this has a satisfying finish and isn't a total copout ending like that one.

Thumbs up.

heck there is even a capcom fighting game about the third story arc

anyway last time i was in this thread i was blabbering like an idiot about umineko right? well i made some search and turns out that the visual novel is still in progress so that means that so far there is no actual ending! yay! i've read some of what happens next and it doesn't make a single lick of sense

What is it called?

People have suggested Jojo's to me before but...I've never read or seen any of it.

himu jojo has like seven story arcs,if you just need to pick a single one,just pick the third one,it's the one most known and the better one,and really you don't need to know much about the previous two
heck there is even a capcom fighting game about the third story arc



i agree with having to pick the third one since that's where the whole "Stand" comes from.

but read the first 2 to get an idea about some of the characters (such as the main enemy himself )

When they brought the series out in English, Viz Comics skipped right to the third arc for volume 1.   :lol

mmm,no love stuff,i love comedies but it doesn't have to be a comedy,i hate filler episode (unless of course if you are a comedy,you really can't expect a plot in the first place) to the point to sound a little bit generic i'd say that if the plot gives me a reason to wonder "what happens next" then it's good... i mean while i'm still pissed at like a gazillion of things with umineko the fact that i still wants to know how it ends means it's good for me

i readed a bit of the manga... it's a love comedy,not my kind of stuff
short summary
spoiler (click to show/hide)
everybody is scared of guy A because he has "gangster eyes" or something like that but in reality he's really a nice guy! guy A is in love with girl A,but he hasn't declared his love,one day he meets girl B who has the fame of being "the portable tiger" basicaly the kind of character who's always angry at everyone and everything,turns out that

- Girl B is in love with Guy B
- Guy A and Guy B are friends
- Girl A and Girl B are friends too

so basicaly Guy A and Girl B team up so that they can both find the way to declare their love,good lord love comedy are stupid stupid stupid stupid

basicaly now that i think about it,i think that "it's like school rumble" would be a pretty good comparison

Artstyle is too loli/chibi.  I'm looking for shows like Summer Wars. 

To me Summer Wars was suuuuuuper anime.  But it was the good kind of anime that isn't creepy to watch.  Honey & Clover, Nodame, East of Eden are a similar kind of style.  They have all the anime trappings, but they're about teens/young adults and their daily lives & relationships.  Humor is there, but it's not overkill slapstick.  Drama is there, but it's not overkill sappy.  It's just kind of a good mainstream show of anime.  That's what I'm looking for.

Genshiken manga is probably better than the anime, actually.  Anime mostly just has updated fanservice, like Etrian Odyssey noises coming from the DS, them playing Guilty Gear, cosplay of more modern characters, etc.  Plus the anime isn't complete and skips a bunch of stuff in the second season.

as for NHK, it's a bit like satire on slice of life anime.  The anime and manga are different and I'd say check out both.  If you had to only follow one, go with the anime if only for this:

I just came across a new manga last night:
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2742/4413911030_568fedd89a_b.jpg)

"Maria is a witch living during the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Our young heroine hates war, so to keep the people of the village she protects safe, Maria will use all the power at her disposal to stop the fighting, whether that means conjuring giant dragons or sending her succubus familiar out to mesmerize the warring generals with her charms. But what do the villagers think of her "help"? And what will happen if Heaven notices her interference into human affairs? This story has a funny touch with a little history thrown in"

It has the Archangel Michael and dragons. Unfortunately this is in the same magazine Teppu is in, so that mean waiting, lots of waiting.

Last night I went all "I'm 16 again!" and watched the first ep of a bunch of :uguuuuu anime like I did back in the day.

Kimi ni Todoke - Was ok.  With a more stylish director it could be great, but it's a bit vanilla plain.  Might check out another ep or two or maybe the manga instead.
K-On! - Was so :uguu but good.  A lot of parts had energy & great animation and were funny.  Pacing was a little slow, but otherwise was fun.  Will check out some more eps.
Baka test - Was terrible.  The jokes were sometimes funny, but the art is ugly and the summon battle shit is horrible.  I had to turn this off before it ended.
Natsume Yuujinchou - Best of the bunch.  Enjoyable show.  Art was good and the story is interesting.  Will watch the rest of this show.

Going to check out more ep1s tonight since I've been out of non-gundam tv anime for about 2-3 years now.  I have seen Time of Eve and that was nice.


I need to check if my favorite director Akitarou Daiichi (Kodomo no Omocha, Now & Then Here & There, Jubei-Chan, Fruits Basket, Bokura ga Ita) has done any shows lately.

I'm being serious here. The hater are JUST PLAIN WRONG. Like I said, first episode was okay, had some funny moments but kind of ditched them to have some tournament battles. The episodes after? The tournaments battles shoved to the back burner in favor of squeezing as many jokes out as they can. Some work, some don't, but there's more of the later than the former. Is it animu? YES, but it's actually far better than it has any right to be.

watched more ep1s

Natsume Yuujinchou - so it turns out that I had watched the first ep of of season 2 yesterday.  But it seemed just like a 1st ep of show so I couldn't even tell wtfff.  Stupid anime making "seasons" (that aren't actually called "season" but have like 1 word different in the title) now instead of just making EP27-52 like back in the day.  I you were watching ep27 you would not think it was the first ep!  Anyhow it was good.

Trapeze - Weird.  Which I'm ok with.  But I need to have some substance besides tripped out visuals and the first ep had all of 2 mins of actual story and the rest was 20 mins of tripping.  I respect what they're trying to do artistically, so even though I thought the ep was kinda meh I'll give it one more ep before I bail.

Bakemonogatari - I swear the Soul Taker director has been getting more and more overkill with his editing every show.  This show is like Michael Bay the anime with cuts every second.  Keeps it from being boring, but it's way overkill and just comes across as trying too hard.  Still, was really entertaining and looked nice and it had a chick with school instruments as deadly weapons which I approve of.  Will keep watching.

Aoi Hana - Wow, this is the best lesbian show I have seen!  The art is AMAZING and the animation is solid too.  Such a gorgeous show + the writing/directing was good and characters are likable.  Will continue to watch this as my slice-of-life-with-lesbians show.

at least you figured it out early lol, i watched whole season 2 and thought it was just one season.

in fact, i didn't watch the first season to this date, probably because season 2 hd animations spoiled me and tbh, show is episodic like Mushishi with a main story in an episode or two, not a big deal.

So any other ep1s I should check out before moving onto the ep2s of stuff I liked?  Shows you guys recommend from 2008/2009/2010?

I just grabbed DTB2 ep1 & Kara no Kyoukai and saw Durarara!, Bakemonogatari, Natsume, Aoi Hana, Kuchuu Blanco, Kimi ni Todoke, K-On!, Baka Test.  I also think I'm going to give Black Lagoon another shot because I only saw ep1 when it aired and didn't like it so I didn't watch the rest.  I've seen Time of Eve, Michiko to Hatchin, Gundam OO, Mazinger Z (never finished Mazinger though because it was kinda slooooow), Kaiba, and I'm gonna read Genshiken & Welcome to NHK in manga form someday.

Sorcerer Stabber Orphen (very old fantasy show, one of my favorite thanks to that launch ps2 game)
Starship Operators (crazy girl space tactics)
True Tears (derp love drama)
Zettai Shonen (only liked the first half)

yeah I didn't wait.  I skipped DTB2 because it looked dumb!  But I figure I should at least give ep1 a chance at this point.
I did enjoy the OAV ep1 though and will watch the rest of the OAV.
DTB2 is good but like most animu shows it ends with derp ending that leaves more questions unanswered.

I watched it for chinese electric batman anyway.

some other shows worth a watch if you haven't already:

Akagi - can't watch an anime if I don't like the art; don't like this style
Kaiji - same; watched ep1 back in the day
Casshern SINS (emo warning) - watched a few eps, was slow & boring
Gunparade March - watched this
Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (derp love drama) -never heard of it, will check it out
Juuousei (can get homo at times) -saw it; was kind of awesome until the ending that was terrible
Minami-ke (my favorite slice of life, just avoid season 2) -heard of it, never checked it out.  Will grab ep1
Moyashimon (only watched 1st episode but heard good things about it) -Saw ep1 when it aired; was ok but wasn't a fan
Sorcerer Stabber Orphen (very old fantasy show, one of my favorite thanks to that launch ps2 game) -yeah, saw some of this in the 90s, lol
Starship Operators (crazy girl space tactics) saw ep1, didn't like
True Tears (derp love drama) watched this.  Don't even remember it
Zettai Shonen (only liked the first half)  I think I saw ep1, didn't leave much of an impression

Will check out Hanbun no Tsuki, maybe Minami-ke

Bebpo, Akagi and Kaiji are like...the best animu ever.

just try to swallow the long noses and all artstyle for an episode or two and you will get hooked fast, it was like One Piece for me, weird artstyle at first but fuck that THIS IS AMAZING.

also, did you watch Seirei no Moribito? I didn't like it but same author/studio made another animu called Kemono no Souja Erin and it ended recently at 50 episodes, might wanna give it a try.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime & Manga Thread
Post by: Bebpo on March 08, 2010, 08:52:20 PM
But they are about gambling too (well at least Kaiji)!
I don't like sports anime!

I dunnnoo maybe I will try it again at some point, but the noses + sports makes me have zero interest.


I liked Moribito.  I like everything by that guy (GiTS SAC, Moribito, East of Eden).

hanbun tsuki ep1 - was alright.  I'm a sucker for depressing stuff and since it's only 5 more eps I'll probably finish this up.
DTB2 ep1 - plot seems real stupid.  Hei is evil antagonist now?  Loli twins?  Same reckless disregard for human life DTB1 had?  smh.  Might still watch it because it's Bones though.
minami-ke - too moe for me.  Seemed like Yotsuba&/Azumanga but not as insane and with MOE.  When the sisters were running around trying to kiss each other I had to bail.

Unfortunately after having decided to try to get back into tv anime with 3 nights of watching ep1s, I then watched In The Loop which was about 1000 better than any of the anime I watched and now I wonder what is the point and my time is probably better spent watching good films because all these recent anime suck in comparison :\

I dunno, she's pretty small!  Almost loli-age to me!

Title: Re: The Bore Anime & Manga Thread
Post by: MCD on March 09, 2010, 02:59:27 AM
shrug

how many animu and games you watched/played, bebpo?

do you really think hei was being all evil? he did the same fucking thing in season 1 (bitch slapping and killing that contractor right before the opening.)

edit: i am not sure what you mean by her being small/loli because derp, she is, i was just pointing out how they are brother and sister twins, not loli twins.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime & Manga Thread
Post by: Bebpo on March 09, 2010, 03:04:09 AM
Yeah and I thought Hei was a terrible character for most of the series.  Anyhow I know where the plot is going, but it's just a super cliche start.
DTB is one of my least favorite Bones shows.  None of the characters are likeable.  They're all cold-hearted killers.  At least towards the end Hei got better.

One reason I'm actually enjoying the DTB OAV is because it's end of S1 Hei where he just barely passes the likable mark.
Title: Re: The Bore Anime & Manga Thread
Post by: MCD on March 09, 2010, 03:13:54 AM
that's the whole point of the show, contractors think rationally and not on some human emotions.

and if you watched the show, you would remember how hei tried to save that doll in the first episode or how he tried to save havoc or how about when he told yin to choose for herself.

hei can be an ass (he is chinese electric batman after all) but he only kills when he needs to.

derp.

hanbun no tsuki ga noburu sora e got contrived real quick.  "Hi, I love you and I'm going to die really soon but since you have porn I'm going to get pissed off at you and refuse to see you" + EVIL JEALOUS DOCTOR @_@

It's too bad because the main pair are the kind of sappy sad romantic couple that I enjoy.  Hope the last ep or two is worth it and full of MAN TEARS like any depressing romance tragedy should be.

Trapeze ep2 was pretty good.  A lot better than the first ep with the acrobat.  I like this show.

K-On! is kind of boring and I think I'm going to drop it.  Does the show get better when they actually start playing music?  The potential for a quirky girl comedy version of Beck with great animation is potential I like, but the first couple of eps were kind of dull.

And even though Bakemonogatari is full of itself, it's my favorite show of the bunch.  It's so entertaining and slick looking.  When I finish an ep I want to see the next one right now.  Most anime these days lacks this kind of "insert next ep" addiction.  I think last show I had that with was Kurenai.

Bakemonogatari is so good.
Ep3 is basically two people in 1 spot talking for almost the entire episode and yet it's more engaging than 95% of anime episodes.  The writing is craaaaazy and the crazy visuals accompany it well.

I think I just like shows where the script per ep is like 400 pages.  I enjoy my dialogue.

This may become my favorite anime since Baccano.  It's super self-indulgent otaku pretentious show about nonsense conversations set to nonsense visuals.  Yet...it works.

I think it's Shinobu's best show since Soul Taker.  Much better than Moon Phase & Zetsubou Sensei imo.

The show is basically the same show as Trapeze/Kuchuu Blanco except instead of 1ep arcs they are 2-3 eps. 
Person has traumatic event, needs to overcome it, this is expanded with a slideshow of symbolic art & hilarious nonsense dialogue for the whole eps.

I don't think it is an award-winning show, but for me it hits the right notes.  I finished the 2nd arc, the snail one last night with the loli.  I can't believe they spent all that money making the OP for that arc and used it for ONE EP.  That op was lolloliliololloli

For those getting Gundam Unicorn on Blu-ray...

Quote from: AoD Forums
I started the disc by choosing the Japanese option (I haven't tried either English or French, yet). BD-Live's menu has "What's New", "Special Contents", "FAQ", "My Favorite", and "Information." The "Information" menu provides download options for a Gundam 00 trailer that runs 1:06 (which I'm presuming is for the movie, since there's something there that I don't recall having seen before), a VOTOMS trailer that's about the same length, a Tales of Vesperia trailer (1:41 long), a very short M(ai/y)-HiME BD trailer, and a very short Zeta HiME BD trailer.

Now to look at the English side of things... Select BD-Live... The menu options there are "What's New", "Special Contents" (all Gundam UC promotional stuff), "FAQ" (which contains nothing), and the empty "My Favorite" screen.

I don't think Bandai or anyone in the industry or fans of the industry really care if anyone downloads anime or buys it.

That ship sailed about 10 years ago.  Companies don't expect their viewers to actually pay for their anime.  If they do it's a bonus.

Piracy is bad. Don't be like Himuro.

If they released a DVD version I wouldn't have to pirate it. :patel

I've got a huge shelf with 500+ anime DVDs, all bought legally, and a Netflix account which I routinely rent anime from, so don't waltz in here and look down your nose at me. If Gundam Unicorn was on DVD, I'd rent it and watch it, since it ain't I'll settle for watching it with my brother on his Bluray player.

Here is my problem with it-- Unicorn is $34.99 on Blu-Ray, for one (long) episode.  I can get entire anime TV series on Blu-Ray for $38-$40.  Price this stuff better and I will buy, animu companies; it's getting to the point now where HD rips are out before the domestic releases. 

And PLEASE tell me Gundam Unicorn doesn't go for 6000 yen in Japan.  PLEASE.   :lol

I'm an uber Gundam fan, so I'd frankly pay whatever they were asking. I don't think Bandai is looking to sell a lot of these, it's clearly a niche product.

El Cazador de la Bruja

Half of one episode in and I'm already having flashbacks. The dull realism of the animation, the flat look of the backgrounds, the languid direction, the gunslinger female protagonist that's a bit older, the emotionless girl with a powerful secret that's a bit younger, the smirking antagonist who's evil for evil's sake, the secretive organizations that control things from behind the scenes, and secret plot to control the world. Yes, this is the same guy and the company that produced Noir and Madlax.

honestly, my original plan was to watch the downloaded versions, then wait for a boxset.  This is until I saw the first episode and knew that this is something I will watch often enough that the premium is worth it.

Renting doesn't make much sense for me when there's very little I'm even interested in. I'll support stuff through legal means like Crunchyroll, or I'll just buy it.

I bought a TON of anime in the early to mid 90s, but lately, it's all shit. Pure unadulterated shit.

Well, I ended up watching two full episodes of El Cazador and they did nothing to convince me that the series is going to be any different from the previous two series. With that in mind, I will pass up on the remaining 24 episodes.

Watched Unicorn.

The mecha action animation & direction was really excellent.  As mecha porn this OAV will be amazing.  Really is F91/CCA movie quality action.
The non-mecha animation and direction was really average, kinda weird the disparity between the two.  But I guess if I had "x" amount of money and was making a GUNDAM show I'd probably put it all into the mecha scenes as well  :lol

The story was alright.  Kinda typical gundam opening.  What's up with the Londo Bell though?  Is Bright actually in this show even though his seiyuu is gone?  I'm guessing since we saw the captain and it wasn't him, the answer is no?

Also Full Frontal is THE WORST VILLAIN NAME EVER.  I mean really?

Title: Re: The Bore Anime & Manga Thread
Post by: Bebpo on March 14, 2010, 03:08:59 AM
Watched it a 2nd time directly after.  Liked it a lot more the 2nd time!
The way they rushed the first 20 mins of the ep makes it a lot more enjoyable when you know exactly what is happening in each scene.

Tried BD-Live for the first time ever.  Kinda clunky but it works.  The 00 Movie trailer was terrible.  The animation and art is so much worse than Unicorn it just looks lolz.  Plus I'm like ugh, I don't like these characters!  >_<


I wonder if they're going to do a Gundam TV series in the fall or next spring to capitalize on the interest in Unicorn and 00 Movie.

I think Unicorn is just what I need to get me in the Gundam mood again so I can finally finish V, the only Gundam I still haven't seen.

Nozomi Entertainment, the anime production arm of the online retailer Right Stuf, has announced on Wednesday that it has licensed the Dirty Pair television anime series.

The 24 television episodes and two specials will come in two DVD collections, each of which will retail for US$49.99. The first DVD collection is slated for a late Fall 2010 release. The DVDs will include remastered video from the Japanese DVD release and Japanese audio with English subtitles.

Railgun's probably better than Kampfer, it's at least got a decent budget, nice looking backgrounds, and some interesting ideas. Too bad all of that's almost completely wasted except for three short story arcs that might amount to a third of the series. The rest is just slice-of-life fluff.

The 3rd arc, Suraga Monkey in Bakemonogatari was kinda weak.  The main girl was really boring, so ep7/8 about her were a bit zzz with moments of genius.  Hope the next arc is better. 

Also normally I enjoy the cuts to text during conversations, but constantly doing it during the well animated fight at the end of that arc was a total buzzkill.  Instead of seeing great fight animation you see TEXT >_<

I have some questions to ask since I'm coming up on a huge anime binge.

What's the difference between the two Fullmetal Alchemist series? Himuro told me the newer one is just like a reboot or something. I'm sure it's shit, but how do I discern the two?

I remember YuYu Hakusho being pretty badass. Is it actually worth checking out or will my nostalgia probably be lost on it?

A series I really love the idea of (but only ever seen a few episodes) is Case Closed/Detective Boy Conan. Is it worth seeking out?

Finally, Lupin III is one of my most favorite anime series, but I really don't know which seasons were best. My local comic store is selling the First Box Set on DVD for like $30 and I've been wanting to get it, but impulse buying anime sounds like a terrible idea to me.

What's the difference between the two Fullmetal Alchemist series? Himuro told me the newer one is just like a reboot or something. I'm sure it's shit, but how do I discern the two?

first one is called full metal alchemist, in 4:3 format and does not follow the manga.

new one is called full metal brotherhood, 16:9 hd format and follows the manga, still airing.

A series I really love the idea of (but only ever seen a few episodes) is Case Closed/Detective Boy Conan. Is it worth seeking out?

more than 500 episodes of the same shit and still going, you tell me.

Didn't know it was one of the long-running series.

I never read the FMA manga, and to me the 4:3 series was badass, aside from iffy parts in the third quarter and the finale.

It's all in the tone. They certainly didn't replicate these jokes ad nauseum in the original show. Then again I haven't read the manga.

And I liked the second half of FMA a lot at the time. I was 17.

I'm with himuro and duckroll and some people that the original FMA anime >>>>>>>>>>>>> Brotherhood.

That's not to say that FMA #1 >>>>>>>>>>> Manga, but as an anime Brotherhood is kinda zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.  I can't think of a single GREAT ep in brotherhood, whereas the original FMA anime had a lot of A+++ eps.  It also had a lot of filler and some stupid stuff, but man were those A++++ eps fantastic.


I think I also prefer Bones/Mizushima's take on the FMA story because it was darker and more edgy/fucked up than the manga/brotherhood which is just standard fare shounen.

Realtalk: Bakemonogatari is not that great of a show  :'(

I've realized what I like about it is:
-Neat original style, good music
-Senjogahara is an awesome character.  Very well written.  Dialogues between her and Araragi are the high points of the show
-Araragi & Oshino are well written with great seiyuu performances

But then after the 2nd arc, senjogahara basically disappears, the style starts to wear out its welcome, and every ep the show gets more and more creepy fetish and loli.

So yeah, I think some of the eps are good, with ep3 being sooooooo good.  But I don't think the show is top20 anime of all time material like I did in the first few eps  :-\

I still like the OPs though!

The music owned.

Also, the direction is amazing. It has great shots, and beautiful animation. Arguably my favorite Gundam.

The scene in the first episode? Where Aina and Shiro are waiting for help alone, with a sea of stars enveloping the screen? I don't know why, but that part (the whole abandoned ship part of the first episode) coupled with the music is my favorite part in any Gundam and it has minimal giant robots fighting.

I'm betting that arrogant ace Zeon pilot who shows up in the early half of the series (only to be killed by Aina's brother in the next to last episode) would've had a bigger role.

the best is when they start expecting to be beaten when they make a mistake.  There is one point when Katz is just like "c'est la vie, let's get this over with" and doesn't get his (he totally deserves to get smacked around).

my favorite is probably Kamille's dad.  Mention his mistress and you get it across the face.
