Yuto Amakawa is an ordinary 16 year-old high school boy protected by Himari, a beautiful, sword-wielding cat girl spirit.

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.

And why do they always have to be fucking 15?  Look at Sound Of The Skies-- 15 year old girl realizes dream to join the military!

The plot on Chu-Bra is described as "Azumanga Daioh with panties as the focus." 

They already did that and it was called "Girl's High".

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.

The anime series was okay, I guess, but it did like to throw out lots of casual fanservice.

I'm downloading 5 Centimeters Per Second: the Speed at Which Cherry Blossoms Fall.  I hear it's good...

[Junpei the Tracer!]

Watch Darker than Black.

[Mr. Gundam]

God, it's all so horrid.

Someone wake me when Gundam Unicorn and the new Votoms show start up.

[Don Flamenco]

Watch Darker than Black.

sounds alright, but looks a little too actiony for what i'm in the mood for right now. 

[Great Rumbler]

I have it and have been meaning to watch it, but just haven't gotten around to it. Everything I've heard is positive though.

I don't even want to know why those underage chicks are lactating.

[Mr. Gundam]

What the fuck.

Japan, you used to be cool. What the fuck.

[Great Rumbler]

Oh, Japan. 

[Vizzys]

chanin them bitches up

scars on mah face

Ima lick yo tits

[Great Rumbler]

None of them have green hair so don't even pretend like you're interested, Viz.

[Vizzys]

none of these shows look interesting no

[Joe Molotov]

SMH X 9000 at this season's lineup.

[Great Rumbler]

Durarara!! will probably be pretty awesome, but there's really not much else here that looks like it be anything more than the typical animu dreck we get every season. But I'm still holding out hope that one or more will surprise me! Just not very much hope.

I like the art for Katanagatari, looks different. I doubt that will be the case with the series itself, but we'll see.

[Purple Filth]

it like every season is getting fucking worse

[Mr. Gundam]

it like every season is getting fucking worse

Yep. Where's the mecha? Where are the cool BONES, I.G. and Sunrise shows? smh x infinity

[Great Rumbler]

it like every season is getting fucking worse

This past season has been pretty good actually. Letter Bee, Trapeze, Scientific Railgun, Armed Librarians, Dark than Black 2, Blue Literature, and even Kimi ni Todoke have all provided worthwhile viewing.

allen walker sure found a better series.

[bork]

What the fuck.

Japan, you used to be cool. What the fuck.

The manga is over three years old-- took them long enough, really.  Why can't they make shows out of GOOD manga, like Ping-Pong Dash?  I loved that comic, and I couldn't even understand all of it!   

it like every season is getting fucking worse

Seriously.     There are still plenty of great comics coming out, which you will unfortunately never know about unless you are living over there.  Anyone who thinks everything gets picked up or fan-translated would be dead wrong, sadly.

allen walker sure found a better series.

I had to look that up.  Then I LOL'd.

as for recent seasons i will find 1 (or if the stars align 2) that will interest me (eg DTB2 currently) and its like you have to really dig now to find the surprising gems.

also there is the old "taste" difference but i will check out some more of those your recommending.

allen walker sure found a better series.

[Himu]

I think season 4 of Major is probably the best so far. It has more spirit, it's more realistic, down to Earth and tackles actual baseball issues; whether it's going from high school to pro, the pressure to go pro, or the various styles of baseball there is (defensive, offensive;etc).

Hopefully it keeps this up.

[Don Flamenco]

Need a series to watch over the next few weeks.  Like 26 eps max. 

I think I might be in the mood for something insanely violent or dark...but I'm open to all suggestions.    (I've already seen Gantz and Elfen Lied)

[Himu]

Now and Then, Here and There.

If you've seen it, then...Baccano.

[Joe Molotov]

When They Cry is kind of awesome.

I gave baccano a chance a while ago and was intrigued, but was kind of annoyed by its loudness/hyperness. but I'll try it again.

When They Cry is kind of awesome.

looks a bit like loli moe???

[Himu]

Have you seen Now and Then, Here and There?

[Don Flamenco]

seems pretty serious.  I want mindless violence, not "horrors of war that really make you think" violence

[Himu]

Oh. It's crazy dark, which is why I suggested it. It's not mindless in the least.

If you want something crazy violent, check out Black Lagoon or the new Hellsing OVAs.

[Don Flamenco]

Black Lagoon

Themes: girls with guns, pirates, terrorists
Age rating: Mature (May contain sex, drugs, and extreme graphic violence)

and thanks for reminding me...they probably put out one more episode of Hellsing since I got caught up a year ago.

[Himu]

New Hellsing OVA comes out in Dec.

[Don Flamenco]

looks like I have a few to catch up on.  Last I saw was 3 or 4.

[Vizzys]

hellsing ultimate has nazi vampires eating dead babies

i think it fits the bill

[Joe Molotov]

When They Cry is kind of awesome.

looks a bit like loli moe???

That's what makes it kind of awesome. It's like HAPPY HAPPY SUNSHINE LALALA WOAH HEADLESS CORPSE PEOPLE GETTING TORTURED IN BASEMENTS WITH POWER DRILLS

Sounds like you want some Shigurui: Death Frenzy!

looks a bit like loli moe???

It is, but then you also get scenes like this:

And these:

[Don Flamenco]

don't tase me uguu~! 

gah, I'm not really into that kind of thing. for some reason, that's more disturbing than, say, massive magnitudes of death when vampires, nazis, and the vatican collide. 

[MCD]

Try Ga-Rei Zero.

Major season 5 is AWESOME

[Great Rumbler]

Am I really the only one watching Trapeze? Well, anyway, episode 7 came out and it was another good one about a yakuza thug who's afraid of sharp edges, including the points of pencils. 

[Great Rumbler]

Currently watching this:

that show was awesome.  Not even "awesome for anime" awesome...I genuinely enjoyed it. 

[Great Rumbler]

Do what to myself? Astro Fight Sunred is solid gold.

[cool breeze]

finished Major season 5.  Season 6 in April I think.

[Mr. Gundam]

Sunred is brilliant.

[Himu]

finished Major season 5.  Season 6 in April I think.

Oh for real?

I thought the show was over now. It would have been a suitable ending at least.

What'd you think of season 5? I thought it was the best overall season.

[cool breeze]

It has its moments.  It's hard to remember when Season 4 ended and Season 5 began.

My favorite part was probably Kaido.  In sports anime, I like the training sequences, and Goro showed how super human he was during that part.

[Great Rumbler]

Sunred is brilliant.

Glad I'm not the only one watching it! I'd say it's probably my favorite anime comedy series since Cromartie High School.

Hell yeah. That was good too.

[cool breeze]

I actually want to rewatch that part.  Goro is fucking doing squats with weights on his shoulder while everyone else is complaining that they have to stand there.  They constantly bitch about all the hard work, but he's just like "I'm doing this because it's fun and I'm getting stronger" making them all feel like wimps.
