The All-New, All-Different Bore Anime & Manga Thread!

[Bebpo]

I'll pick up Xam'd blu-ray after the price drops a bit during a sale.  Liked, but didn't love, the show.  Plus I paid like $130 or something already to watch it as it aired every week.  Thinking back, that was kind of a ripoff since you didn't actually own anything.

Today is suppose to be One Piece day but it's not!   What a cruel world!!!

[cool breeze]

His mech looks feminine as fuck.

Shut 'yo mouth! It looks like something out of Five Star Stories. It's easily the coolest part of the show.

Pre-ordered Gundam UC vol. 2 and Xamd volumes 1 and 2 on Blu-ray this morning.

Doing my patriotic duty to PAY for anime. Mecha HD goodness.

I was actually preordering Vanquish this morning and wanted to throw UC vol2 in, but Amazon doesn't have it up yet  :'(

Deal with it.  Hunter X Hunter fans have breaks that last months and years, not like two weeks or whatever you guys cry about.

Endure my friend, endure.

Hmm...a large box from "Anime King". No one watches the devil's cartoons in this house, I wonder what this could be.



Mio Akiyama? Name doesn't ring a bell, but IIRC, K-on is some kind of giant robot fighting show.



Ah, it's one of those pedophile action figures! She's kinda cute though, I guess I'll keep her.

Thanks, MCD. I know it's actually not the one I was going to get but after much contemplation, I decided that this one was moe-er and I could cover the extra $10 for that. Although, not the moe-est, which would be the one where she's wearing a maid outfit and doing the "Moe Moe Kyun!" hand gesture.



I'll just add that one to the ol' wish list for now.

I preordered it with RightStuf. They don't charge sales tax for Washington state customers (Amazon does), and they almost always get things way before release dates and ship them out.

You need to pimp Chinese Electric Batman more then.

Glad you got your Mio, Joe. And you should have told me about the extra $10.

Buying K-on filth for Chinese Electric Batman. It hurts.

I also bought this:



Anime toys, man. I think I've crossed a line that can't be uncrossed.

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, you're pretty much staring into the abyss. It's only a very short step to Love Plus and body pillows.

[Joe Molotov]

Love Plus sounds like a lot of work, I'm too lazy for that. Body pillows, nah I'm totally against those. 95% against them. At least 75% against. Totally.

SLIPPERY SLOPE

Yea, plus that Sailor Moon style transformation 


the animation and his uniform (barring transformation) looks fucking boss though. Will take a look when available.

I just got RAIDEEN in my party in SRW@3.  His music is so awesome:

old-school super robot openings were the best

[MCD]

[Bebpo]

Couldn't you have at least used the best Gundam opening in decades?

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

[MCD]

My mistake, I meant this:

[youtube=560,345]uFh4ZeTThtM[/youtube]

[Beezy]

Still the best Gundam opening.

[Himu]

finally a topic in this thread I can get into.

[Himu]

Why in the fuck can I not find Gundam Seed op3?

Copyright sucks. I try to find Zeta Gundam op 2, which is top 5 Gundam op material and can't find it or Gundam Seed op 3.

[cool breeze]

wow Himuro

I swear I just spend the last four minutes trying to find the second Z Gundam opening.  I eventually settled on posting the Turn A opening.  damnit.

second Zeta opening is the best if only for the NES version of the song

youtube doesn't have it, but gametrailers does: http://www.gametrailers.com/user-movie/zeta-gundam-op-2/19555

[Himu]

They used to have it.

[Himu]

Help me find Gundam Seed op 3.

[cool breeze]

gundam 00 for the most part had awesome openings and endings

the best was when

started playing before the credits rolled

wait wait, the best is

[Beezy]

08th MS Team

I really need to get around to watching Zeta and Turn A.

[Himu]

Zeta takes a while to get great but when it's on, it's on.

Turn A is unlike any other Gundam. This can be considered good or bad, but it's an excellent show.

[Bebpo]

takes you 30 seconds to realize you aren't watching Initial D

 So true!

It would suck to have the contract where you have a to break a finger when other people just have to write a poem or smoke a cigarette.

[Beezy]

I like the Texhnolyze intro. Is the anime good?

Ergo Proxy was a disappointment. The anime started strong then just kept getting worse.

Texhnolyze had one of the worst endings ever. Also, Ergo Proxy is like Texnolyze but better. So there you go.

[Beezy]

PASS

[Great Rumbler]

I'll elaborate because I feel like it:

-Texnolyze's ending makes no sense at all and is thoroughly depressing
-The characters are mopey and largely emotionless, nothing to hang on to at all
-Motivations are largely nonexistent or purposefully obscured
-The show is drab, dark, bleak, and depressing from start to finish
-The last few episodes descend to a level of incomprehensibility that I've rarely seen before outside of obscure, arthouse cinema

Um uh yeah.

oh wow

an anime in this thread that interests me

[Bebpo]

You're not interested in Star Driver?

I revoke your mecha license.

[Himu]

What the fuck is Star Driver? I don't watch mecha just because it has mecha in it. I watch mecha because it's either cool and awesome (Giant Robo, Gurren Lagann) or has a good story (Gundam, SDF Macross). I don't watch or play mecha stuff because I find giant robots are awesome.

So basically, I never had a mecha license to begin with.

[Bebpo]

It's BONES + UTENA

It's like Persona 3 except the schoolkids ride in their persona mech and fight in the galaxy or something.

We need to fix this.  Watch some SHIN GETTER or the last half of GAOGAIGAR.

Giant robots are awesome.

[Himu]

Eh. If ZoE2 doesn't tickle my pickle nothing will. Though, robot designs are often very very cool, I'm never really swayed to play or watch something just because it has giant robots. Different strokes. I'm mostly all about story no matter the genre and if we're talking about games, I have to consider the game fun first. I think Dynasty Warriors Gundam is fun, but not because it has giant robots, but more so because it involves one of my favorite anime series and is fun to play.

It's BONES + UTENA

It's like Persona 3 except the schoolkids ride in their persona mech and fight in the galaxy or something.

I'll look into it when it airs.

[Mr. Gundam]

GIANT ROBOTS ARE AWESOME. END OF STORY.

[magus]

i like giant robots but i can't stand the "villain of the day" structure that almost every giant robots show follow which is why i can appreciate the fact that something like gurren lagan has an actual plot!

[Himu]

What mecha series has a villain of the week structure? Most mecha series have over arching plots with multiple villains.

[Mr. Gundam]

Yeah, most giant robot shows don't follow the villain of the week structure.
