This show is one of my favorite anime series' of all time. Many of the staff involved were killed and I want to honor it.

Please watch with me.

I've never been able to get into it due to the very different vibe than mainline FMP (which I really like), but I'll give it another shot.

Himu · « **Reply #4 on:** July 18, 2019, 02:56:20 PM »

Funny. I've never been able to get into regular FMP because I like Fumoffu so much and thought it took itself too seriously despite the soldier x schoolgirl dynamic. If you give Fumoffu another try I'll give regular FMP another shot.

FMP proper is mecha action, so it's something I'd like more by default. And slice of life high school comedy stuff has never been my thing.

I'll give it another chance for sure.

Consider Fumoffu less slice of life high school and more Japanese Looney Toons. It might help.

Still all kind of the same thing, just not for me. Willing to try again in light of today's events.

I've had FMP and Fumoffu on my watchlist for a long time, but never got around to them. I'll start sometime this weekend.

It's a playlist. The plugin tries to embed it, which obviously fails.

Fumoffu is a stone-cold classic.

Bonta-Kun in SRW and ACE:R is pretty awesome. I’ll give you that.

I just ordered Fumoffu and Lucky Star on Blu-Ray.

Man it seemed unreasonably high last night when the death count was at 8 or 11, but now reading that it's 33 is insane.

You'd think that they'd be able to escape in time but apparently the fire just ripped through the whole building because of all the paper and the extreme amount of accelerate used

Looking at pictures of the building, it doesn't look like it had a fire escape on the exterior or really any secondary exits [just a lobby with a main entry and side entry]. The perp started the fire at the entrance, so people had to flee away from it.

He also doused people with gasoline.

But this thread is about celebrating their work as we mourn.

I want it to be more positive.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #17 on:** July 18, 2019, 09:35:57 PM »

Cindi, have you seen any of Haruhi Suzumiya? It's kinda hard to recommend it if you're not at least somewhat familiar with the series, but the movie they release a few years later is extremely good:

Himu · « **Reply #18 on:** July 18, 2019, 09:59:10 PM »

Yeah I watched the first one and liked it. Haven't seen it since. I'll have to watch it now to celebrate KyoAni.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #19 on:** July 18, 2019, 10:15:01 PM »

Watch Hyouka too if you haven't seen it. It's kinda moe blobish, but also good.

bork · « **Reply #20 on:** July 18, 2019, 10:22:07 PM »

They also made K-On!!.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #21 on:** July 18, 2019, 10:29:42 PM »

Cindi, what about Nichijou? You seen that? You mentioned that you really liked the absurd, Looney Toons-esque antics of Fumoffu, which Nichijou has in droves, as well:

It's streaming on Amazon Prime: https://www.amazon.com/Nichijou-Ordinary-Orginal-Japanese-Version/dp/B01MUDU7B3

bork · « **Reply #22 on:** July 18, 2019, 10:39:37 PM »

That was amazing. I need to watch that!

And Fumoffu too!

Nichijou is the kind of show that could only have come from KyoAni because no other studio would have put in the effort to have animation that detailed in a show like this.

Himu · « **Reply #25 on:** July 18, 2019, 10:57:20 PM »

KyoAni always put crazy details in the goofiest shit.

Like Free.

By the way, IndieWire put together a nice list of where to stream all of KyoAni's series:

Same, I pretty much hate Fumoffu vs the rest which I love.

Himu · « **Reply #28 on:** July 20, 2019, 01:44:19 AM »

Watched ep 1/2.

Still hilarious af.

Still the GOAT anime comedy.

Himu · « **Reply #29 on:** July 20, 2019, 02:07:29 AM »

i'm going to give lucky star a shot. once i'm done with fmp. never seen it and assumed i wouldn't like it.

I've also never seen k-on. figured it would ben uguu fest. I do like Haruhi, Free, and Fumoffu though obviously.

Himu · « **Reply #30 on:** July 21, 2019, 07:24:00 PM »

Update: up to episode 5. still hilarious.

I watched the first 9 episodes in the last couple days. So damn good.

It seems the FMP manga is completed now (I haven't watched/read anything since Second Raid) so I think I'll catch up on that too.

Himu · « **Reply #34 on:** July 22, 2019, 09:50:05 PM »

Oooh I have to read the FMP manga then.

Glad you liked FMPF! First time?

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #35 on:** July 22, 2019, 10:18:35 PM »

Read the FMP light novels.

Thirty-Ought-Six · « **Reply #36 on:** July 23, 2019, 08:44:09 AM »

I watched all the FMP anime series years ago, all are among my favorites but I liked Fumoffu the most.

I remember looking into the light novels back then, but from what I can find the last ones aren't translated. But, since the manga has an ending I think I'll rewatch everything and jump to that.

Momo · « **Reply #37 on:** July 23, 2019, 08:56:40 AM »

didnt like fumoffu overall but this shit was super funny

FMP is better than I remember. Have gone through half of it in a day.

Thirty-Ought-Six · « **Reply #40 on:** July 23, 2019, 08:09:16 PM »

Everything with the crazy policewoman is amazing.

Why does Sousuke keep putting Kaname in dangerous situations despite being assigned to protect her?

How should a police officer request for a high school girl to act as bait for a perverted criminal?

If you don't show, I'll arrest you too!

Himu · « **Reply #41 on:** July 23, 2019, 08:15:04 PM »

Crazy police lady is the fucking best.

Also Sousuke does it because he trusts in her judgement. Girl has gone through literal war zones and survived. He knows she's capable. <3

Cutest couple.
