Title: Anime/Manga/Etc...
Post by: kamikazekeeg on September 01, 2014, 06:03:40 am
As we were starting to take up the other thread with pure anime talk and with it becoming more than just what we watched, figured we could do with a discussion thread for everything Anime related, tossing in Manga if you read it, to I guess even if J-Pop, J-Rock, or whatever else Japanese related.
I last posted my anime list I put together. Should have most of what I have watched, though I'm sure I'm missing stuff here and there, particularly older anime I'm spacing on.

Well here's mine http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Demise_of_Sanity
BTW I've seen on amazon there are placeholders for the original arc of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Phantom Blood) and judging from the price it's going to be the 3 in 1 books bad news first one's not coming out until February.

Lets not bring that kind of stuff in here lol
Having seen my anime list, did you have any slice of life type shows to bring up like we talked about before? Doesn't need to be super serious, but also shouldn't be cartoony goofy. Just kinda looking for interesting japanese life stuff like maybe they run a store in Japan or something else like that. Too much anime out there to tell what is good, what is just goofy harem anime, and what might just be depressing, though I'm totally fine if it has feels. Feels are good.

Can you be a little more specific on Cartoony goofy? Is anything fine as long its not a cliche harem?

Can't think of examples off the top of my head, but just like goofiness where it's all extreme cartoon reaction shots and they turn into little characters all the time, that kind of stuff, but yeah, as long as it's not cliche harem stuff, I'm kinda alright with it, just kinda anything that could be considered pretty good and maybe even interesting to watch.
Oh I see what you mean about the hack. That explains why a number of the entries got messed up, particularly with extremely popular anime series. Doesn't seem to be very serious though other than being obnoxious lol

Of that list, I have seen Free, at least the first season, and it was okay, but don't have too much desire to continue into the second.
I have seen pretty much most of Death Note and just thought it was okay.
Gash Bell I remember seeing and not liking I believe.
Thought Log Horizon was pretty poor and stopped around episode 6 cause I just don't care about what is happening in it compared to Sword Art Online.
As of right now, I think I have a nice list of stuff to watch, though I am interested in more average life type stuff. No supernatural or even fighting, just kinda regular times in Japan. Could you pick out two or three like that perhaps?

SAO is pretty mediocre. I was def. on the hype train during the releases. I watched it over and over and i realize a lot of flaws that my delusion were covering up at first.
I guess this for now? - NHK ni Youkoso! - Seitokai Yakuindomo - Usagi Drop - Nichijou - Hanasaku Iroha - Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to The Animation - Same VA as Kirito. Its a really weird transition from Sao to this. - OOPS can't forget Gin No Saji

Even if SAO isn't good as it seemed to be, I still liked it way more than Log Horizon lol And thanks, I think I got enough lined up for now to keep me busy for abit.

I still like SAO with all its flaw but other people on the hype train needs to stop worshiping it. I like Log Horizon. It wasn't that bad, it went with the more realistic VMMO which was cool.

Also I second Welcome to the NHK, and will recommend BTOOOM! similar base idea to the first part of SAO (stuck in the game and trying to get out) only stuck on a deserted island with the mechanics from a video game brought into the real world, with more survival and slight horror elements.

I just got generally pretty bored with it. The mystery of why they might be trapped in it couldn't hold me.
And as I watch Aldnoah and like it, I feel like I don't enjoy how the mechs are called Kataphracts lol I understand now that it's meant as reference to a type of ancient warfare unit, but I just don't like the word for some reason lol Doesn't roll off the tongue to me.

Well Log Horizon is having a 2nd Season so I'm expecting an answer to our plot hole... maybe. Anime can only fit so much before you count it as "over pacing" then being too spread to be called "dragging". Its a harsh world for anime directors. Manga & LN are probably the more safe route. The Mech name doesn't really bother me much, but that ED... aLieZ soooo goood.

BTOOM! is an alright show. It does get pretty dark in some moments. "When humans are faced with truly terrifying circumstances, they don't think about other people around them. They're even willing to sacrifice those around themselves. By exposing that unsightly part of them, they can no longer get along" (8MAN). Pretty much 99% of the btoomers in the show.

Caught up with Aldnoah, great stuff and just starting with Akame ga Kill. It's this weird combination of humor and extreme violence you don't often see. Like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, but they aren't censoring too much here. After the "WTF!" of the end, it has my attention.
And nearly caught up up with Akame ga Kill in just the night lol It's pretty good and it manages to keep the surprises coming pretty well. Definitely a lot better than I was expecting.

Title: Re: Anime/Manga/Etc...
Post by: kamikazekeeg on September 04, 2014, 04:55:08 pm
Akame ge Kill is great, a must watch, will definitely keep up with it.
Dropped Glasslip cause I didn't care for the characters at all from the first episode and heard the bit of looking into the future doesn't amount to much at all.
Hanasaku Iroha I'm getting interested by, but man I feel bad for Ohana lol No father, terrible mother, grandmother doesn't like her, her co-worker REALLY doesn't like her for some reason...But I feel it'll make for a good story as she needs to try and overcome all of it.

Good, you dropped Glassslip. Akame ge kill will get better esp in the manga. Im glad you like hanasaka iroha. There is a movie for it too. N1s is also selling it as a special bluray edition for the movie.

I dont remember what happens in the 3rd episode. Its been a while since i saw the show.
It's the episode where the "writer" kidnaps Ohana and then she starts to feel sorry for him I guess even though he's basically been perving on the underage girls in the inn to write some porn, and then in turn is shown to have just been scamming the inn for a month, and then they just sorta...forgive him and have him work at the place and to continue his porn writing. I'm not really looking for realism here, but nothing about that shit was believable and now he's gonna be a regular character lol
I mean, the grandma slaps the shit out of the two girls the episode before for making minor mistakes, but then the Grandma is just like "It's cool you were perving on my grand daughter and her fellow young co-workers, come pay off your bill and win an award for your writing..." I'm not seeing consistency here.

lol It's what I planned to do as I see good story in here, that episode just through me for a loop and it surprised me because it felt like such a tonal shift for no good reason.

Not yet, I'm not jumping around a ton at the moment, but I have Usagi Drop on my queue along with some others. I didn't have Gin No Saji (Silver Spoon) on my list, but I just added that so I'll check those out maybe after Hanasaku Iroha.

Awesome! Thanks for the notice. :)

I still havent watch kill a kill. Sao 2 has been so good lately. I cant wait for next episode.
Kill La Kill is some real good fun. Super crazy lol
Started on Silver Spoon. Seems goofy and they certainly don't try to pretty agricultural life up at all, but it might turn out to be entertaining.

And finished Hanasaku Iroha. Gonna watch the movie a little later, but the series itself was pretty good. Very sweet, and while a few parts got abit sketchy and Minko gets a bit frustrating with her erratic and angry emotions that tend to grate on you after awhile especially after she finally softens up abit, the last couple episodes leading up to the finale were incredibly well done. All the right feels were felt and that's the best you can expect from a show like this, heh.

Man, Jojo is going off for 4 months. How dare they be allowed to have breaks! lol I still get annoyed that they ridiculously censor any amount of gore. It's done so poorly too with just big black circles skewing everything. I'm pretty positive if you just drew something a little differently, you could show the violence, without showing the real nasty bits. I'm curious. Are the DVD's censored? Anyone know that? I might be able to forgive them for that if they un-censor them for the collection.

Are they airing the original Hellsing TV series, or the vastly superior Hellsing Ultimate?

Not sure, haven't watched Brotherhood, but the difference between Hellsing and Ultimate is basically the first movie kinda remakes part of the first season of the original show and then it goes into an entirely new plot that I believe is supposed to follow more closely with the manga. Can't say for sure with that, but Ultimate is an extremely better show lol
Been watching Barakamon which is pretty good. It's about a calligraphy artist who after a mishap with a prominent critic, is sent away to an out of the way village on an island to pull himself together. Learns to let loose after coming to meet the very friendly village which is a very new experience to him as a city boy from Tokyo. Some good humor, nice animation, and it never gets too serious beyond the feel good moments it needs to show. There's also an amazing Abridged series for it lol

It seems to me that cdjapan has some good pricing for many items, but alot of it is for newer products that came out in the last several years or so. I personally use e-crater for my video game soundtracks since they have alot of older game soundtracks that are pretty hard to find anywhere as well as amiami for some stuff. If those two don't have good prices for what I'm looking for, then I just search the net and price compare between different websites for the same product.

I'm fine if it is for more newer stuff. I've come across a few albums that I want recently that are newer. I got lucky with Babymetal being on iTunes, but it doesn't seem like alot of the Japanese even gets a digital release here like Maximum the Hormone, I was kinda interested in getting the last Kiryu album after coming across them online, funnily enough through their goofy My Dragon spinoff lol, and I'm pretty sure I have something else I want to if I can just remember it, but I can't find this stuff anywhere lol

Yeah, iTunes and other u.s music services haven't really worked to bring many japanese releases over to their stores, and the best I've seen on iTunes for something I wanted was the Pokemon X&Y offical soundtrack but that's pretty much it. Those providers don't see much of a point in bringing these songs over here because they don't see a big enough market for that stuff. So its pretty much a journey to find this cool music for decent prices across the net, especially since when it comes to retail, I've only encountered one chain called Book-Off that sells a lot of japanese soundtracks, although their prices tend to be too high for some of their products. So you're probably going to have to just stick to those sites for those kind of albums.

Oh well, the joy of importing lol
While not anime related, anyone have any good Japanese documentaries? Nothing specific really, though I would say less about old history and maybe more about Tokyo, or city life, or just something kinda interesting. Maybe something music related or just the culture in general. I watched a small documentary not long ago about an old Japanese man who makes wood furniture entirely by hand and the craftsmanship was pretty impressive. I so wanted one of his works lol

Instead of starting a new thread, I thought I'd share my experience at Nan Desu Kan (NDK). For those of you who don't know, NDK is one of two anime conventions that are here in the Denver area, NDK being the bigger and more popular of the two. I've been a pretty regular attendee since 2009, and this year was among the less than stellar years I've gone for a variety of reasons. So here is my general experience.
Pros: Without fail, the highlight of NDK is the dealer's room and an area called Artist Ally where independent artists sell their work. I bought some pretty cool stuff from both areas at the Convention this year, including a Fire Emblem Awakening Art Book, some Final Fantasy X capsule toys, two Case Closed statues, some really sweet pixel art of Squall (FFVIII) and Terra (FFVI), and about 5 really sweet custom video game poster prints that were created by independent artists selling their work. The artists in Artist's Ally were all very nice and it was interesting talking to them, specifically one that my GF has been a huge fan of online for a while and we finally got to meet her in person. She was very nice and gave us some free stuff. Another pro at NDK this year, that doesn't really have to do with the con itself is that it is only 10-minutes from where I live so it was easy to get there and get home each day I went. I am also happy that I was able to attend all three days of NDK this year since the past couple years I've been there have been a variety of factors that prevented me from attending as much as I would have liked, but this year no such issues prevented me from enjoying it to the fullest.
Cons: Sadly, NDK has many cons, mostly stuff that I go into every year knowing. These annual annoyances include the venue being way to small to accommodate its popularity, very rude staff, and about 75% of the attendees are some of the most obnoxious people you will ever meet. With that out of the way, here are a few cons that were unique this year. There was an overall lack of interesting panels this year. Of probably the 40 or so panels scheduled, there were about 4 that I was interested in, and sadly the 2 of those I made it to were pretty bad. One was a general discussing panel on video games, and the two mods were fairly uninteresting and lacked my confidence on their authority and qualifications to host such a panel. The other panel, actually more of a contest I went to, was the Anime Music Video contest, which was fairly lackluster this year. My final compliant about this year was the poor showing of playable video games in the game room. I can appreciate some FPS games, but there was an overrepresentation of COD and Halo this year, and a fairly homogeneous mix of fighting games. Mario Kart 8 was set up, but considering you had to play with a Wiimote I chose to pass on playing it.
Overall: If I had to give this Con a grade I'd probably give it a C-. It definitely excelled in its usual spots, while faltered in the usual ways it typically does as well. Sadly most of the things that could have distinguished it from past NDK conventions as being one of the better years were not there, and what was there failed to deliver as I hoped it would. Despite this, I still had fun and I will be attending next year. I just hope that NDK really steps up their game with the panels, and maybe addressing some of the long standing problems that have plagued this specify convention for years.

Post by: kamikazekeeg on September 14, 2014, 07:38:03 pm
That's pretty cool, despite the cons.
The only thing close to me that doesn't require renting a hotel for the night or weekend is just a day show for anime, comics, and gaming. It hasn't really changed in the couple years I've gone which is a shame as it has a lot of potential to grow bigger to a day full of entertainment, but they still mostly just have the same couple vendors, the same couple artists, and kind of the same usual stuff as before, though this year there was even less panel stuff and what there was, wasn't for me. But I can't complain too much as it is a very small event. I'm kinda hoping that now they have found an overall bigger place to utilize, though it has bad for panels, they can try and make it grow by trying to get more artists and vendors to show up.

These experience posts are pretty cool to hear about the different types of anime conventions that I've never heard of, and things I might want to check out in the future.
For me, Anime Expo, that big convention, is super close to my house and always has gigantic crowds thanks to continuous record-breaking attendance figures that the convention has had for the last several years. I heard quite a lot about how bad the lines were , even just for getting in and for many of the panels. From what I've heard from friends, there were a lot of cool panels and stuff to buy, but there's just too many people in demand to see panels, try out games+ demos, and to even buy stuff from really popular vendors. I was planning to go this year, but I forgot about registration and missed out due to school and stuff, so hopefully I'll be able to check it out next, especially since I haven't been to it since 06'( which was the year i got to play Metal Slug 6 on the Sammy Atomiswave with a bunch of other people, good times).

I've been to Shadocon for a day in Tampa which is a smaller anime/mixed convention and it was pretty fun. Got to listen to Egoraptor and Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic), got their autographics, went to some panels, played some games, and got to check out a bunch of cosplay as I'm huge into cosplay stuff. It's one of the reasons I want to try and go to more and it helps push me to work on my own stuff.
I also went to Metrocon in Orlando for the day years ago which was real fun, but hectic and real cool seeming some bigger celebrities. I get so nervous meeting people like that lol It was my first real convention at the time and it is what started me wanting to go to more.
Wish I lived in Tampa really as they have two or three small to mid-sized ones throughout the year.

NDK is unfortunately the only Anime/Gaming convention I have been to so my experience with cons of this sort is limited. The other convention in town, Animetown Wasabi is relatively new and I didn't even know about it until about a year ago.
The attendance at NDK is pretty enormous for the venue, around 10k in a hotel that is quite crowded at even half that capacity which gives you an idea how chaotic it is. With that said, the lines are typically insane, some you have to get in line over 2-hour before to ensure you will have sitting when you get in. The video game panel wasn't bad in terms of the line, but the AMV contest line seriously wrapped around the whole interior of the hotel almost twice over. I was somewhere in the middle of that line (got in line an hour and a half prior to the event) and just barely got a seat. And there is often more people than space to walk throughout the whole convention. Attendees have begged the organizers to move to a larger venue for years, but they refuse to. Parking is terrible as well.

Weird that they are refusing to move. It would certainly cost more, but I imagine if they are reaching max population, it'll work out for them to have more available space.

Another new one I've added to the watch along with Barakamon is called HaNaYaMaTa. It basically seems to be like K-On! but instead of a band, it's centered on a group dance style called Yosakoi. Even sorta has the same kind of beginnings of needing more members to have a full group and be able to start a club at the school. Though it being familiar to K-On! is certainly a good thing and of course it has its own unique characters, but you get that same sorta vibe from it. Only 11 episodes released so far, so it is easy to get into and it's on Crunchyroll.

I agree, I feel it's very easy to just turn into a boring moe mush of pointless cuteness in shows like this if it doesn't have much a point and is just about like school life, but so far it's abit more entertaining like the others and once it gets settled into the yosakoi aspect more, it'll be a new thing to learn about as I had never seen something about yosakoi before. I feel that'll be enough to kinda hook me in like K-On! did, where it probably would've been far to sugary and fluffy if it was just about highschool life, but because it had the band and music aspect, it was a lot more fun to watch.

Blitzed Glasslip yesterday night because I heard they werent going to have any NTR bullshit... talk about mind fuck. This show has more plot hole than swiss cheese, it has such a deep ideal behind it you can't be comprehend it, so much lack of character development on certain character. Art style and music was great just what I would expect from nanoRipe and P.A.
It has an open ended ending that didnt really explain much and left more questions because it didn't give us a closure. I have mix feelings for the show but it left a bad unsatisfying after taste in my mouth. 5/10 just because of art & music.
Considered a extreme bad show by many.

Nice end to the current arc of Sword Art Online. I'm going to miss GGO because I love the idea of a large scale shooter MMO more than I do a fantasy one as I heard the next arc goes back to ALO stuff and that was one of the weaker aspects of the first season of the show after they got out of SAO.

Well that was disappointing :/
Just got done watching the series Angel Links for the first time and it is sadly one of the worst anime I've ever watched. I had high hopes for it because it was done by the same people that made Outlaw Star and actually takes place in the same fictional universe. I didn't expect to be as good as Outlaw Star, but had no idea it would be as boring and low quality as it was. Thank goodness it was only 13-episodes, but sadly I kept on watching hoping it would get better, sadly it did not. Aside from a few minor things involving the main character, there was very little redeemable about this series. Like anything, make your own opinion about it, but be forewarned, it's pretty bad.

Just got done watching the series Angel Links for the first time and it is sadly one of the worst anime I've ever watched. I had high hopes for it because it was done by the same people that made Outlaw Star and actually takes place in the same fictional universe. I didn't expect to be as good as Outlaw Star, but had no idea it would be as boring and low quality as it was. Thank goodness it was only 13-episodes, but sadly I kept on watching hoping it would get better, sadly it did not. Aside from a few minor things involving the main character, there was very little redeemable about this series. Like anything, make your own opinion about it, but be forewarned, it's pretty bad.
I'll keep that in mind.

Hi-sCool! Seha Girls is more fun than I expected lol It's super cutesy and the episodes are really short, but the humor is actually pretty good and it's filled with all the Sega references they can manage to stuff into it lol I think the best jokes centered around Dreamcast, such as her coming from a poor family, which I'm sure brings tears to the Dreamcast fans eyes lol
Has more potential to introduce characters if they tried, such as "Sega CD" who wants to stay attached to Mega Drive all the time, with a potential added joke of "32X". Maybe "Game Gear" who like to run around a lot, but quick to tire (battery joke). Maybe an older character who would be "Master System". There's a lot of fun to be had here.

It's weird, but it might be kinda fun. With Marvel Zombies, they aren't shy from getting gory either, so it shouldn't hold them back too much unless they are going for a more PG-13 crossover.

Odd to see Frieza return. Kinda curious how Freiza will come back as a threat lol I'm all for it though. Hopefully it'll be more action packed than Battle of Gods, which had a fun finale, but the rest of the time it was just goofy. Entertaining, but it felt more like a lost episode than a movie.

Yeah I hope this is a bit more action packed. Freeza's henchmen look pretty weird, and I'm wondered how they're going to buff Freeza up considering he's been dead all this time, and we have Super Saiyans everywhere and huge power levels, so maybe he might get a new form and some training so that he is a threat to Goku and friends. Beerus is apparently in the movie as well, but I'm not sure what he'll be doing in the plot just yet.

My guess, is that Beerus or Whis sense a return of Frieza, since I remember them talking about Freiza before as someone he was keeping an eye on. My guess is they come to spectate the fight of Frieza and Goku. I'm not sure they'd be playing a huge part, but never know. A new form could be a way to explain Frieza's strength boost, learning it wherever he supposedly was as death is a weird thing in the DBZ universe lol

I got around to finishing Persona 4 The Golden Animation and Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova today. P4G was pretty enjoyable as long as you've played through the game, but it would've been super confusing if I hadn't already. Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova was pretty good too, but some people can't stand the CG animations. I had no problem with them, I thought it looked neat and was a nice change.

With the year ending soon, what were peoples favorite animes of the year? Doesn't have to be something that end this year, though to narrow it down, it should have at least started this year.
Shirobako - Been a nice show, good when you want something more reserved, slice of life, type stuff, looking into the background anime creation abit. Can't particularly say I have all the characters names down well, but I enjoy watching it.
Aldnoah.Zero - While I still have issues with the ending, it was overall a pretty good show. Some interesting mech suit battles that weren't just about one guy working to be stronger than the other.
Akame Ga Kill! - Uggh...this one is just a relentlessly brutal show lol Incredibly violent, but it does bring you in with the characters and wanting to see where this all goes.
Sword Art Online 2 - To lay it out...The first part of SOA2, is better than the second half of SOA1, but that first part of SOA2, isn't as good as the first part of SOA1 lol Honestly I'm bummed they were done with GGO. I feel like the problem with the second half of SOA2 is just that it isn't all that exciting. What makes the show good, is the tension between the MMO danger and the RL danger, but there doesn't seem to be that anymore. I mean, it's fine to watch, but again like the first season, it peaked midway and now it isn't as engaging. I still like it, but missing GGO.
Jojo's Bizzare Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - So good, so ridiculous, just a ton of weird fun!
I watched a few others like Black Bullet which was okay, but super depressing and wouldn't overly recommend it. Barakamon I technically watched most of and kinda liked it, but never finished it, but it was alright slice of life stuff. That was kinda it. I know there was more to watch this year, but haven't gotten around to anything else that came out this year other than an episode or two in a few random shows to test the waters that didn't pull me in.

Finally decided to watch the last episode of Akame ga Kill...SPOILERS SPOILERS...
I don't think I've ever come across an ending quite like this. Of the 10 characters that made up Night Raid, only 2 survived. It almost makes the ending feel abit hollow because so many people I liked died, but it was never done poorly as every death was impactful, emotional, and only drove the surviving characters to better accomplish their mission. I wanted Mine and Tatsumi to survive and get together, or Leone to continue being Big Sis to Tatsumi, and really it goes back to just wanting to see more Bulat or Sheele cause they were great. It's just one of those stories where it is trying to tell you that even though victory is possible, it's not gonna work out like how you want. Where you got shows like Fairy Tail, which shouts out that "Friendship is the greatest strength of all", Akame ga Kill just says "Fuck that, friendship isn't a power, people die" lol I liked the show and while I'm not happy with the ending, it makes sense to me. Would be cool to see another season or just an OVA where it's Akame a few years later, now a roaming mercenary of sorts, fighting the new evil that crops up now that the powerful corrupt empire is destroyed.

And finished Sword Art Online 2. I was kinda bummed after the GGO section we were back to Alfeheim and that it felt like the story was just gonna be kinda mini stories to finish it up, or it was just gonna end up being a small story with Asuna dealing with her mom, but it became something I wasn't quite expecting. It was handled very well though and I was pretty satisfied by it as it took a different direction than what would be considered the last three arc's of the series which were a much more frantic and intense completion to the story with very dire consequences. Don't know much about what is to come other than it'll be set around a new game called Underworld they participate in, so it'll be interesting to see where that goes.
After watching this, it just makes me want to go back to the good times I had in MMO's years ago. The early days of Star Wars Galaxies, playing with those I knew or came to know locally in my small town (In a time for my town when internet was not the best for us), or at a bigger more anonymous scale of the early days of Warcraft, completing Molten Core for the first time with the guild, or even the short time I spent with close friends in Final Fantasy XI. Never been able to get back the same feelings of those days.
And slightly off topic, but Crunchyroll related, is there anything in the drama show section that is worth checking out? I've never really watched regular Japanese shows and I'm kinda curious if there's anything worth taking a look at.

Just finished watching all of Hunter X Hunter. Overall not too bad of a show, though it was all over the place in terms of quality. For one, it started out with a number of very anti-climatic conclusions to things, and it took 30 episodes before there was a proper fight. It seems also like they wanted to do a much bigger story, like One Piece level, but I guess because the manga is going so slow due to the creator maybe having health issues, it just won't happen. By the end, so much of the story is left unfinished. Also, I really hate Leorio lol He's completely useless to the entire story, but they keep wanting to put him into the main group as being on the level with them.
It was a show that was better than I expected, but could have been way better than that had the writing been better. Many times throughout the 148 episodes I just got annoyed at story elements, and character designs, and trying to make you care for certain characters...No, I will not care for the stupid fucking octopus character! The Chimera Ants in the NGL story arc drove me nuts. Just from design when they stopped being bug-like, to how they wanted you to feel something for these characters who are mass murderers. One or two earn it and that is it. The NGL Arc might have most of the better story stuff that happens in the show and what could be the worst. Plus they drag the crap out of the story in the later half of it. Though generally keeps better pace than a lot of the other shounen shows out there like Naruto and One Piece, who kill countless episodes with constant flashbacks and dragged out battles. They also had like one or two recap episodes in the earlier time of the series, which was nuts, but they eventually stopped that.
Would be nice for the show to be brought back eventually, but I doubt it since it seems like it'll take years for the manga to move along far enough to start up the show again.

Didn't seem to be very popular, so it's not gonna return. Super sucky. I did that with a TV show awhile back that I watched online that I thought was really interesting. Only had one season and then was canceled. Super lame!

Deadman wonderland was one of those shows that was only made into an anime with the mindset of increasing Light novel sales. The way they paced it really turned me off from it. It was really cool in the beginning then pacing and the way they cut off the season 1 really killed it for me.

That's what I've come to realize and yeah the ending was terrible. Was a terrible spot for it and especially to make the actual last episode a flashback for Crow. It was a good episode, but that should've been put into the show a couple episodes back as it means they didn't even end the season on the main characters.

Not sure if I like Samurai Flamenco or not lol It starts out with kind of a real and interesting premise, like an anime "Kick-Ass" in a way, but then they introduce actual monsters and complete nonsense to the story to kinda make the idea of being a superhero a reality, which sorta ruins any of the drama the show had. I still want to keep watching though, cause it interjects realistic aspects into certain parts that keep it engaging, I just don't find all the monster stuff to actually be any good. I'm just waiting for this all to turn out to be like...a dream sequence or a fictional story within something lol

Is there a good cooking anime out there to check out?
I tried watching this new one called "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" on Crunchyroll and the idea behind it is fun and entertaining enough, but then there's this aspect of it that is literal food porn, where everyone straight up orgasms every time they eat something good. That wouldn't be inherently awful, but it's such overt fan service, even if it is being silly about it, but it's still lots of women moaning, huge breasts quaking, and other stuff like that and it kinda gets in the way of the actual show I think lol I say this, while also being a fan of Kill La Kill, so yeah...

Like I said, I enjoy Kill La Kill and I can also add I was a fan of Highschool of the Dead, so jiggling isn't an issue, I think I just want more of the entertaining, over-the-top, cooking aspect, rather than long gratuitous sections of girls moaning and jiggling every episode lol It feels weird and out of place here.
Never seen Triage X, but I'll take a look at it.

If you liked H.O.T.D then you will like Triage X cause at least in the manga they share the same illustrator, Fujimi Shobo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%8Dji_Sat%C5%8D_%28artist%29) so with this in mind you already have an idea of what you can expect or see, this past Monday I saw the 7th episode of this one and am not disappointed with the currently events in this one, give it a try, at least the first two episodes, I'll be waiting your comments ;)

I can say for instance that I pretty much dislike fanservice, that was for example the reason that made me stop watching Gurren Lagan after a few episodes, that was just irritating nonsense. I'm not against nudity or sex themes but it should be brought by narrative reasons IMO, like it is done in Berserk for example.

Is there a good cooking anime out there to check out?
I tried watching this new one called "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma" on Crunchyroll and the idea behind it is fun and entertaining enough, but then there's this aspect of it that is literal food porn, where everyone straight up orgasms every time they eat something good. That wouldn't be inherently awful, but it's such overt fan service, even if it is being silly about it, but it's still lots of women moaning, huge breasts quaking, and other stuff like that and it kinda gets in the way of the actual show I think lol I say this, while also being a fan of Kill La Kill, so yeah...
Uhh I can't say for many cooking anime, but here are the shows I rec. for this season.
- Arslan Senki - Denpa Kyoushi (Protag. sisters VA is just horrid.) - Dungeon ni Deai o Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka? - Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2nd Season - Gintama° - Hibike! Euphonium (Suppose to be some type of K-on successor but it fall a little short.) - Kekkai Sensen (Probably has the best music this season OST, ED, OP). - Nagato Yuki-chan no Shoushitsu - Plastic Memories - Ore Monogatari!! - Owari no Seraph - Punch Line - Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku (#1)
Summer 2015 - I dont know most the show but here are ones I read the manga for or their 2nd season. Shows to look out for I guess. - Akagami no Shirayuki-hime - Durarara!!x2 Ten - Gangsta. - Gatchaman Crowds insight - Jitsu wa Watashi wa - Kangoku Gakuen Prison School [Excited for this one]\ - Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou (Def. a new territory ehhh I dont know) - Non Non Biyori Repeat - THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls 2nd Season - Working!!!
Fall 2015 - Same here as previous - Gakusen Toshi Asterisk - Haikyuu!! 2 (good sport anime) - One Punch Man (The anticipation is real) - go read the manga not the one version. - Owari no Seraph 2 - K Return of Kings

Might've been interested in Sound! Euphonium, as I liked K-On!, but just glancing at this, I feel like I wouldn't care for it on the concert band aspect. K-On! was very light and fun cause it was just pop rock type stuff with the humor of Death Devil injected every so often and I got a feeling that wouldn't be the same here and not really interested musically.
Jojo and Fate/Night Stay are the only two I'm watching that aren't long running things. Watched a little of My Love Story which is cute, but not really keeping up with it.
*EDIT* Goodness, I thought the fan service was over the top in Highschool of the Dead, but I think Triage X might put that to shame in the first episode alone lol Not sure if I like it. The action parts seem good for what they were, but the fan service again feels like it's overpowering a more interesting story like it did with Food Wars. In Highschool of the Dead, it's basically kinda cheesy zombie action and it's interjected with some overt fan service, so it doesn't really feel out of place to have. In Triage X, they are a badass underground group determined to cut the cancer of society out in a very surgical manner, with the main lead having a tragic backstory and reason for doing what he does that's explained by the end of the first episode...And also the very literal first scene of the anime, is to show off breasts in a bikini so large that it would make Hitomi Tanaka look flat in comparison lol I don't need a narrative reason for this like Turom might, but it's goofiness just makes it hard for me to take it seriously and therefore to invest myself in it.

Damn did you just got all that impressions from the first episode or did you cheated and read some article from the Wikipedia ? so I guess that you will not continue watching this one, I don't take anime that serious cause don't see that much, for example yesterday I only saw one episode the whole day and it was the episode two from Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma where I have to admit that again I feel hungry after I saw the episode, for some unknown reasons the food of Sōma Yukihira made me starving at the end of it, did love the "orgasm" scene and really want to see the next one ;D

Caught up with Triage X. It's alright. The fan service is pretty ridiculous, not really in any particularly good or bad way, but I don't think it's nearly as entertaining as something like Highschool of the Dead. Might be because HOTD seemed to have the fan service as secondary to the overall show, even with its prominence in certain scenes, but with Triage X, it seems like the fan service wants to over take a lot of the show. Hard to take Episode 8 quite as seriously as it should, when Hitsurigi is wandering around in just an open patient gown and her crotch is bathed in the black hole censor they like to use. Also why does this show get censored to shit, while the latest episode of Fate/Stay Night shows off one of the more disturbing things I've seen recently with a scene almost akin to Akira in it? lol I might keep watching for the heck of it, the story itself is watchable enough.
Dumb black hole censoring. Makes Jojo obnoxious to watch at times...Oh no, Jotaro, a 35 year old looking 17 to 18 year old is smoking a cigarette! CENSOR IT QUICK!

Crunchyroll recently kicked me another 30 day trial, so I shotgunned all of Sword Art Online. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, enough that I'm a few episodes into Sword Art Online 2.
Aside from that, just Sailor Moon Crystal every two weeks and a handful of other series I have on hand an have yet to watch.
Manga wise, just the usual: One Piece, Fairy Tail and Monster Musume.

Damn you already are on the episode 8 about the censorship I hated as well but really hope that there will be a uncensored one, don't mind if I have to see the whole series again just because am a perv, by the way didn't resist the temptation and this weekend I saw eight episodes and today the number nine, these two last ones were the best, the fight between Takumi Aldini's team and Sōma Yukihira entertained me but without a doubt the fast interaction between Hinako and Megumi was the best, I'm glad that the event at the hotel is not finished, want to see more about this event ;D

It's strange, I normally don't like stories like this. Goofy slice-of-life harems, bleh. But something is very striking about this series and I've yet to figure out exactly what it is. I like reading about the characters interacting.

Your comment touched a nerve so yesterday searched for some images of it at Tumblr and what I saw didn't disappointed me, thanks for the recommendation kinda remind me the harem style that has To Love-Ru which is ok to me also when I was there saw some images of Sidonia no Kishi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_Sidonia) and started seeing the first two episodes of it, it's just me or this anime is also kinda weird, dunno why but I got the impression that at least the animation, the characters or something is related to Akira, it's anyone following this one ? ???

After seeing a lot of images of Rachnera Arachnera (http://dailylifewithamonstergirl.wikia.com/wiki/Rachnera_Arachnera) I read this past week all the numbers of Daily Life With A Monster Girl / Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou, why ? maybe because I totally felt in love with her, she reminded me a lot to Ivy Valentine from the Soul Calibur series, as Kimihito Kurusu I do love legs and since she also have that dominant essence that love in these characters I don't have to say more, wanted to see the anime but this time I didn't resisted the temptation and I went first for the Manga ::)

I finally saw the latest episode of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma where I really don't know if the best part was at the bath time where Dojima Jin heard the Yukihira's name, want to believe that he already has known is father and that there will be a chance for another interaction with this character or the Shokugeki part at the end of the episode, really can't wait to see the next one to see what happens and how the hell he's gonna defeat him (http://i.imgur.com/knSwkIP.gif)

Finally managed to see the latest two episodes of Triage X where can't decide which one was better, episode nine has a nice cosplay of Princess Leia from Star Wars (I guess that there was no need to said about her origins) but episode ten has a lot of fan service, well at least the first minutes of it were the best, really can't wait to see the uncensored version of it, I have high hopes that it will be like Maken-Ki! or Sekirei! cause these two are at my top of my favorite uncensored Animes ;D

Triage X was a alright show but the end was kind of an abrupt conclusion. I came home wen. sat down and went to go torrent Triage X but I couldn't find it... Then it hit me that last week was the last episode.
on the other note, Oregairu 2, soooo good. Sad thing is that last episode of the season is next week. we will probably have to wait a few years for the next season because there is not enough content [Light Novels] for season 3 yet.

And another season of Jojo is done. The third season felt like a mixed bag compared to the previous ones, mostly because a large number of the enemies they fought were...bullshit? So many shenanigan type enemies and very few ever felt like real threats. Some great moments in it and though I kinda call shenanigans on one of the ending story parts, it still ended well. Looking forward to them hopefully getting to the next story arc.

Unbelievable can't believe that is already finished haven't had a chance to see the episode 12 and not because I don't wanna see it is just that I got a new supervisor and can't see as much anime as before at the office anyway is a shame that they are doing the same shit as H.O.T.D really hope we can have at least an OVA because to be quite honest don't expect a second season of this one, but we do deserve a beach episode an a good one >:(
Will try to see this last one and I'll leave my comments as soon as I see it.

Just noticed that Triage X was complete at the episode 10th and only because I was talking with a friend and he told me that, didn't believed him so decided to made my own research and every site that visited said it was true, this was the most pathetic and damn bad way to end a series, can't believe that it was even more awful than High School of the Dead >:(

Just finished Blue Exorcist and I liked it. Got abit slow early on, and I even just had to plain skip a pointless filler episode involving a birthday, but the last 5 episodes were all pretty good. I kinda hate Rin though. He has his moments, but as the stereotypical stupidly headstrong type, that can't even stay awake in class, and also has the most ear grating scream, it's hard to really like him. His connection with his brother is good though.

Summer lineup is going and I started with "Gate". I'm loving the idea, of a gate to a magical fantasy world connected to modern day Japan, of which an army comes out to attack before being repelled and then a modern military unit goes in. I really hope it turns out to be good, because it could be pretty fun.
Rokka - Braves of the Six Flowers seems like it could be good too, your typical fantasy anime, but I like that the culture they show off in this one has a very Aztec feel to it, which should keep setting abit more refreshing than just the usual regular fantasy animes. Also it's nice to see one that has nothing to do with MMO's or an MMO feel lol Two characters so far are also pretty likeable. The cocky, headstrong, lead guy is common, but he has an interesting look to him and his fighting aspect and can actually deliver with his fighting ability.
Aoharu x Machinegun is gonna be another fun one I think. It has some good humor and very stylized action and the setup is more unique, being about airsoft battles which you don't usually see. I thought at first it was gonna be like...Free!, but with airsoft, and they kinda are playing it up like that, but the twist is that Hotaru is a girl dressed and acting like a boy and Ryusei doesn't know that. So there's that Bishonen love thing going on between them, with lots of moments where it's like he's about to practically kiss her but doesn't. It would be gay, but it's meant to be weirdly friendly lol You can kinda see the plot points being pretty obvious of Hotaru having to pretend to actually be a guy, because Ryusei doesn't let girls on his team, but Hotaru is also this psychotic half-terminator with a hyper passionate desire to fight injustice, so she'll probably win him over in the end. It's hard to explain really, but I'd recommend giving it a look cause it could be entertaining once they get into the airsoft battles judging from the intro.
Kinda funny to line these up and it's like "Gate...Fantasy meets Modern. Rokka...Chosen heroes go to slay a demon god. Aoharu...Well the lead character that is a boy, is actually a girl and for some reason, she is half-cyborg due to the insanity of her strength, and she meets a dude who totally wants to kiss her, but he thinks she's a guy, so he doesn't REALLY want to, but he totally acts like he does, and then she's forced to join his airsoft team because she's basically The Hulk hidden away inside the body of a crossdressing girl." lol
*EDIT* And here's the Dragon Ball Super opening. I'm pretty excited for this, but I am not gonna watch the sub, I just don't think I can with grandma Goku. That kills it for me and it's like the only show I really can't handle the sub lol Luckily I don't feel it'll be too long before Funimation gets the dub out. This is basically a gold mine for them.
And Triage X ended with a flop. The show really isn't that good, so I don't expect anymore out of it. And it better not get a beach OVA...Stupid HOTD OVA nonsense lol
Going right through shows now as I also finish up Fate/stay night. Overall I liked it, the battle scenes are amazing and the animation in general is really good. The story kinda felt all over the place and I'm not sure if it explained everything, but it ended really well that I was satisfied with.

Vacations are over and didn't saw a damn episode of any Anime until my return to the office where I noticed this morning that an OVA of Amagi Brilliant Park (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amagi_Brilliant_Park) was released these past days, totally felt in love with this series as soon as it was aired but to be quite honest they ended it as Triage X with the little difference that the story here was good enough for a second season but it seems that we will not gonna have it, some of my friends told me that the Manga is more complicated and complete, really need to take the time and see this one before it's to late and think that is pure crap too, the OVA as the episodes didn't satisfied me an decided to see it only because my beloved Isuzu Sento.
Right now I started to see Okusama ga Seitokaichou! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Wife_is_the_Student_Council_President), didn't received a recommendation for this one, just saw some gifs of it at Tumblr so decided to give it a try even when the episodes are so short, less than 10 minutes but once you see the storyline there is not much to be done here just sit and enjoy the Plot ;D

Finally managed to see the latest episodes of Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma where the rest of the events at thr hotel at least to me where pure lame, with the exception of the event between Kojirō Shinomiya and the team of Soma/Megumi, without a doubt the final of the episode 15 was good enough to compensate all the emotion that the previous chapters didn't had, can't wait to see the next episode ;D

Re-watched DBZ: Battle of Gods cause of the new movie coming up next week and I still enjoy it. It's still like the worst of the movies, more of a goofball "lost" episode for most of it, than a proper movie, but it's entertaining enough, especially with the great finale. Really can't wait for Resurrection F and for the new TV series to get dubbed. I'm tempted to watch DBS now, but it's one of those animes I just can't watch subbed. I need that good dub because the characters all sound so much better lol
*EDIT* Also started Tokyo Ghoul. Was kept pretty much in the dark with this other than some cosplay, but it's good so far. Very intense. I've also come to realize how much I hate censorship. So frustrating to watch certain scenes when they turn a blinding white or into a dark shadow covering up everything. Sure, I know what is going on, but it just makes it annoying to watch visually.

Finished Tokyo Ghoul and really loved it. That Season 2 ending! So many unanswered questions! Apparently it's getting a prequel OVA centering on Arima, who we know little of from the anime, other than he's basically the strongest member of the anti-ghoul force. Apparently the possibility of season 3 for Tokyo Ghoul is sketchy at the moment from a little I read, but hopefully that isn't true. I hate when a show gets cut off before its finished and is able to properly tell all of its story.

Read Jaco the Galactic Patrolman the other day. It was a short, fun read that ties into the Dragon Ball universe nicely. I'd definitely recommend it to any Dragon Ball/DBZ fans. I decided to pick it up a while ago because I noticed that Jaco was in Resurrection of F, plus I was interested in the Dragon Ball Minus chapter that introduces Goku's mother.

Catching up with some of the new stuff over on Crunchyroll after binging through Tokyo Ghoul and Darker Than Black.
Gate is really balancing this fine line. I love the modern/fantasy setting mixture, and how the modern military is creating an entirely one sided battle, everything about that is great and there needs to continually be this awe and wonder about modern military engineering lol The more cliched almost harem thing they got going on though nearly derails the show though I feel. I don't mind that the lead is an otaku, because he's still a very competent soldier, but all the awkward girl situations just feel kinda lame. Dumbs down what is a pretty great story idea.
Rokka continues to be real good.
Aoharu x Machinegun is still odd, but entertaining at least. Basically a less overtly sexual Free lol

So, after much procrastination, I finally got around to watching my blu ray Fate Stay Night "Complete Collection". It's a 2 disc set with 24 episodes - I'm assuming it's the 'basic' set/season.
Anyways, I...fucking loved it!
Question: Any sequels, side-stories, etc. worth watching?

In the world of the fate there are three routes. Fate (Saber), Unlimited Blade (Rin), and Heaven's feel (Sakura).
The one you watched was the Fate route. Unlimited Blade just finished about a season or 2 ago and Heaven's Feel is coming out as a movie.
I recommend you watch Fate Zero, the prequel to all of this.

I keep forgetting how amazingly cheerful it is to watch My Love Story. Anime isn't exactly known for its quality romantic stuff I feel, not that I've watched a ton, but it tends to have its cliches that kinda drag it down, but this show has a totally proper couple who totally love each other, filled with great humor, and they seem to regularly knock down alot of the tropes pretty quick, heck, having the big brutish guy as the lead instead of the pretty boy is a shift in type itself. Really great humor also and it seems like every episode has a half dozen or more gif-able moments lol

Sorry that wasn't my intention anyway last week I searched for the 24th episode of Food Wars without luck, have to admit that I had a bad feeling about this dunno why but had the idea that it was canceled but appears that it was only a delay cause earlier today noticed that it was released (at least at the page that I use to see it) this past 22 of September, in my personal opinion this episode has ended the season very well, as always enjoyed the Soma and Erina "relationship", gonna read the Manga until the second season is released and just because a friend told me that there was a beach / swimming pool on it ;D

Stepping into the new season, I've found a couple to enjoy. One Punch Man is fantastic, I can't wait for more. The new Gundam is also pretty good so far. I just watched the first episode of Beautiful Bones, which I think will be interesting. It's basically Sherlock meets Bones in high school lol
On the other hand, I watched the first episode of Anti-Magic Academy: The 35th Test Platoon, and I don't think it's very good. The action seems okay, but too much cliched fan service crap. It's the first episode and we already got pointless playboy bunny dress up scene and stupid boy falls and grabs a tit while making a chest joke. Also I think you call this a "harem" anime when it's beautiful women surrounding a single guy like with Triage X. The show might get better later, but I don't like cheap fan service. Either embrace the pervyness like Kill La Kill, Highschool of the Dead, or Prison School, or just don't do it. It's lazy and rarely funny.
Also tried to watch a show called "OWARIMONOGATARI", that is apparently about math or something, but I got like 10 minutes into it and had to stop. It was making no sense, had some weird editing, and I never felt so quickly turned off an anime.

I might give it a shot. I just finished up Prison School which is weird, uncomfortable, but pretty entertaining. Might also be one of the best animated shows of the last season behind Fate/Stay Night lol So many different styles happening within one show. Also Andre's tiny face is unsettling.

A month ago started to watch Gakusen Toshi Asterisk (http://myanimelist.net/anime/30544/Gakusen_Toshi_Asterisk), have to say that nobody recommended me this one cause my interests are more related with the Plot, something that not everybody like anyway I was looking for some animated gifs at Tumblr and saw a couple of good ones so decided to give it a try, always search this kind of stuff because I share them at my Pinterest account until one day when I was looking for more saw a gif from a scene that haven't seen at the show, did a little research about the characters and that's how I reached to my beloved Stella Vermillion from Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry (http://myanimelist.net/anime/30296/Rakudai_Kishi_no_Cavalry), started to see this one too even when I really don't like to see too different Animes at the same time, dunno why but every time that I have done this I totally forgot to see one of them, this haven't occurred with these two even when honestly don't know if am wrong but they are so similar, both got a redhead princess that have seen practically naked, that manages fire, that felt in love with an useless swordsman that suddenly become the strongest one at the academy, both protagonist are now giving instructions to the rest of the students and became pretty popular with the girls, both have power limits and I can continue with more similarities, dunno which one is a copy of the other one but both of them entertain me ;D

Finally have completed the two series that I mentioned before and this past week enjoyed the first episodes of another two Animes the first one is Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Magic_Academy:_The_35th_Test_Platoon) where Usagi Saionji and Ikaruga Suginami have become my two favorite characters and yes I found this one too when I was looking for some Gifs, it's kinda rare that I start to watch something just by the recommendation of somebody, had bad experiences in the past following what other people likes.
The second one is Ore ga Ojousama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Gets♥Sareta Ken (http://myanimelist.net/anime/25099/Ore_ga_Ojousama_Gakkou_ni_Shomin_Sample_Toshite_Gets%E2%99%A5Sareta_Ken) and I totally admit that the main reason that I started with this one is only for the Plot, Reiko Arisugawa it's my favorite character from the whole series, saw the following two Gifs at Tumblr and that same night started to see this one, for what I have seen the story is kinda weird and being a muscle lover (am talking about Kimito not me) even freaks me out ;D

I started into the Winter 2016 anime and man it's kinda weak. Active Raid just seemed generic with weak suit designs, so much so, I didn't finish the first episode. Schwarzes Marken had a great setting and premise, in the 1980's with mechs fighting weird aliens, but it didn't really do anything for the setting beyond it having East and West Germany and none of the characters were shown to be likable. Also could they have at least tried to make the characters look European? Phantasy Star Online 2 had one of the weakest reasons for there to be an RPG going on and it's handling of the game felt kinda poor. These seemed like the only kinda bigger ones outside of returning shows.
The only shining light looks to be Erased. It has a cool premise, it explained its setup real well, and I'm genuinely interested to see where it leads. Only one I could recommend. I think there's one or two more that I'm going to look at, but so far, kinda underwhelming outside of Erased.

Yesterday have paused almost everything that I was playing, reading, watching (comics, videogames, Simpsons) but not wrestling because I started to see the first episode of Musaigen no Phantom World (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31442/Musaigen_no_Phantom_World) where Mai Kawakami has became my new female favorite character, she kinda remind me a lot to Isuzu Sento from Amagi Brilliant Park discovered this one two weeks later since the second episode already has been released, definitely am gonna see it as soon I leave the fucking office, as a pervert old man who loves plot this one is perfect for me 8)

A couple of days ago I finally have completed Ore ga Ojousama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Gets♥Sareta Ken and Taimadou Gakuen 35 Shiken Shoutai where I do have to say that I'm highly disappointed with the first one and not only because they missed a great opportunity to explore and use the Plot at its maximum capacity, the staff didn't used the obligatory beach/pool scene that fits perfectly this kind of Anime also the ending was to damn forced and most of all incomplete also the latest episodes were pure lame, kinda mad because the characters where perfect for an Ecchi harem and they did a complete mess anyway about Taimadou Gakuen everything was perfect but the latest two episodes kinda reminded me Triage X where they didn't know how to end it, they have used the characters very well until the evil sister made his appearance, a second season where she can be the main evil character would have been better that this, they forced it too so I really don't expect a second season for neither this two >:(

Since I have seen the latest episodes of Musaigen no Phantom World started to watch another two Animes this past days being the first one Hai to Gensou no Grimgar (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31859/Hai_to_Gensou_no_Grimgar), totally admit that as at the rest I was interested only for the Plot, that master thief totally caught me when I saw her but after two episodes decided to give it a try, have to admit that it was one of those times when I came for the boobs and stayed for the history also am in love with the colors and the details of the backgrounds and the atmosphere that they use here, haven't read the Manga and being honest guess that will never gonna read it cause the animation looks so freaking amazing, dunno why but kinda fell relax it when I watch this one, don't get the wrong idea it's everything except boring, the story right now have turned in a way that didn't expect it at least not that fast but I love it and that's all gonna say cause don't want to leave any spoilers except for the following two Gifs:
The second one it's Oshiete! Galko-chan (http://myanimelist.net/anime/32013/Oshiete_Galko-chan) and even when the episodes of this one are less than the ten minutes long have to admit that those are the best minutes in the week, can't imagine that a simple history about a normal life of a student in this case Galko (http://myanimelist.net/character/137159/Galko) where so damn funny, yeah Plot here is another or the main reason why I started watching this one too but even it is less than 5% it really doesn't need it to be good, love the three main characters cause they are very different in every way, Ojou (http://myanimelist.net/character/137161/Ojou) is my second favorite character here even more than Otako (http://myanimelist.net/character/137160/Otako) just like her I want to know how the hell did she became her friend cause they are practically the opposite in everything anyway too never expected to be this entertained with this one, really hope that we can have more than the 12 episodes that they have announced at the MyAnimeList webpage or at least to have a second season.

Gonna check out Grimgar once it's done for the season since I don't have much else to watch over at Funimation that requires a subscription. Figured once that's done, I'll go back and binge that, perhaps also check out Dimension W.

Post by: kamikazekeeg on March 04, 2016, 05:13:11 am
Dimension W is great so far and I started into Grimgar. Didn't know anything about it going in, but it's a "trapped in a world" type of show. It's interesting though, cause there's really no big hook to it right now, it's played as a very real world, and while it has tradtional fantasy elements, it's very low key with moments of kinda serious realism to it. Great art to it also with the low detail watercolor backgrounds. It's kinda funnily a sorta "slice of life" type show outside of the action bits. I'm sure the story will pick up soon, but it's kinda chill right now.

It will, trust me am currently at episode 8 where without a doubt the episode seven is my favorite and really can't wait to see number nine this next Monday, Grimar is the kinda of Anime were I do feel the characters joy, pain or sadness kinda curious cause I haven't seen an Anime this good in years always searched for the Plot but for this one I made a huge exception, please let me know your opinions when you see a couple more of episodes ;)

Just saw episode 9 of Hai to Gensou no Grimgar and that was quite a nice and relaxing episode. I know some Light novel readers were bummed out because some parts were cut out like the Orc Invasion, but nonetheless there was character progression esp. Mary. The usually water paint background was really emphasized in this episode and I absolutely loved it. Gorgeous

Just caught up with Grimgar and it's really good. Honestly, the entire show could've just been those 8 episodes, and I would've been happy lol The artwork for sure is impressive. It's sketchy and soft, but it works really well and there are just some very good looking shots. I'm not sure I remember the last anime I watched that had such impactful moments like this. Plenty of emotional moments, but from their first reactions to killing a creature, up to what happens later, it's all dealt with pretty well. Where shows drag on moments for the sake of it, you can really feel for the characters here and the pacing is great.

I told everyone that Grimar was awesome didn't I ?, haven't seen the latest episode of this one (if am not wrong it should be the 10th because last week started to watch Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut (http://myanimelist.net/anime/30749/Saijaku_Muhai_no_Bahamut) and only because of Philphie Aingram, felt in love with the character and her "personality" where do have to admit that am not a Mecha / Armored Mechanical fan but decided to give it a try and being honest am not that disappointed as I was expecting to be, has been a long time maybe years since the last time I saw this kind of Anime and it's nice to have it back again anyway am currently following four Animes and the latest episodes of Oshiete! Galko-chan are showing more plot even more than Musaigen no Phantom World, kinda weird cause I was expecting since the beginning that there will be tons of gifs from Mai Kawakami (http://myanimelist.net/character/132429/Mai_Kawakami) at Tumblr but the ones from Galko (http://myanimelist.net/character/137159/Galko) are much better, without a doubt she has become my favorite character from this entire season.

Post by: kamikazekeeg on March 26, 2016, 03:48:08 am
Erased turned out to be very enjoyable. I can't say it went full on like I thought it might in the finale, it kinda slowed down after its huge start in the final few episodes, but I still very much liked it.
*EDIT* Other stuff is ending to. Durarara was a pretty fun story overall, even if it got a tad confusing at times, but that they managed to hold it together with all those characters and plotlines is impressive nonetheless.
Gate continues to be a mildly enjoyable show, that I mostly keep up with for the action, because a lot of it just ends up being modern versus fantasy and modern wins constantly every single time with little effort. It's kind of the most one sided show I've ever seen lol Other than that, it gets kinda dumb with its harem nonsense, but I'm alright with the rest of the show. All that is left new I think for me is Iron Blooded Orphans, and Show Genroku, which is done, but I'm like 4 episodes behind.
We got good stuff on the horizon though. Jojo will be back next month, that new show from Trigger is coming, and in the summer, we get a brand new Berserk that actually will continue the story and not just rehash it again!

It seems that I have picked wrong my week of vacations cause next week will be the ending of the the season of the Animes that am currently watching maybe not but all appears that Oshiete! Galko-chan has already ended being honest don't want to say this has been a ride, but this has been a ride only have to say that is or was pretty fun and it shows that you don't need a big idea or scenario to make things the right way, Musaigen no Phantom World became more intense at the episode 12 and am glad that this one will have a 13th episode, really hope that we can have a second season of this one or maybe an Ova, about Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut it was ok, wasn't the big deal but it kept me entertained still want to see how this one ends if they do an Ova definitely will see it but not a second season but without a doubt the one that was the best it was Hai to Gensou no Grimgar I came to the office today just to see the episode twelve practically was refreshing the damn page until this one appears, there is no need to say that a second season has to be done cause for me things just started and there is pkenty of material to work with it also still to know how did they appear at that world ;)
Title: Re: Anime/Manga/Etc...
Post by: kamikazekeeg on March 27, 2016, 03:46:22 pm
Right! I knew I forgot something with Grimgar. That's good cause I was getting bummed about no new anime for awhile lol Think I'm an episode or two behind on that.
*EDIT* Finished Grimgar and just really liked it. I might like this one more than I do Erased for the season. Erased was more intense and plot driven, while Grimgar had more chill moments and was slower, but as an experience, Grimgar is just nice to watch, especially with its soft art style.
All that is left is to finish Dimension W, which started out good and got kinda..."Eh" as it went, though still watchable to me and Iron Blooded Orphans, which has already been confirmed for a second season in the Fall. It's an alright show, though the Gundam part is very small, which is why I know some people have issues with, but I think its still kinda interesting drama and action.
Thinking I might go back and see about catching up on a show till the next months new stuff starts. I stopped watching Fairy Tail a long time ago around episode 32 of Series 2. I figured I'd let it go on for awhile and then binge on it again down the road. I kinda like the show, but it suffers from the problems most of these long running shows do, such as Naruto and One Piece, where they are trying to adapt every single scene and then adding other pointless crap, so it drags on forever. I abandoned Naruto awhile back, because screw suffering through that dragging garbage any longer. Plus it stopped being an entertaining ninja show when Naruto went Super Saiyan lol. I only keep up with One Piece, because it's such a ridiculous show, it keeps me somewhat entertained, even if it also drags on like no other. Makes me wish there was a One Piece Kai lol
Man, I'm lost on what is going in Fairy Tail anymore though...Something about those key spirits of Lucy causing trouble from the looks of it. Oh well, it gives me like 70 episodes I can binge if I don't skip any lol
Title: Re: Anime/Manga/Etc...
Post by: kamikazekeeg on April 06, 2016, 08:44:26 pm
New stuff is starting up and this is my impressions of the ones I've seen.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 - I've been watching Iron Blooded Orphans since that started, but it's not a very traditional Gundam show. This one seems much more like it and hopefully it's good, cause the animation is great. It has that older classic style to it. I haven't watched a regular Gundam series since Gundam Wing, so this will be entertaining I hope.
Bakuon!! - It's almost literally K-On with motorcycles instead of music. It's very silly, with maybe abit too much boob humor, but it's mildly entertaining in the way that it's about actual motorcycles and such. Reminds me abit of a Girls Und Panzer in that way. It's kinda one of those nothing shows you watch when you want something light and fluffy and no real drama lol
Joker Game - Set in pre-WW2 Japan, it seems to revolve around a soldier sent to work with a group of spies. Very serious anime, but the idea seems interesting. I like the period piece animes like what we got with the Rakugo anime, so I'll be keeping up with this.
The Lost Village - I don't really quite understand what this anime will be, but the premise sounds interesting and it's one of those animes with a ton of characters that all have something to them and I'm guessing they might die off or disappear...I don't know, it's an odd premise of these people who were invited to start a new life in some town considered to be an urban legend.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - Been waiting for this! The color scheme for the new season is really weird, but it makes for something visually standout to me and it's Jojo, so it'll be weird and crazy and I can't wait for it.
I still have to watch Ace Attorney, Kiznaiver by Trigger isn't quite out yet, and there's some a Funimation exclusive show or two I won't watch till later cause I don't like subscribing to them.

Finally managed to watch the latest episode of Musaigen no Phantom World where I have to admit that was expecting to see Enigma a little more longer but am comfortable with the last battle and in how this history ends, I need a second season of this one with more and powerful Phantoms now that Ichijou (http://myanimelist.net/character/132427/Haruhiko_Ichijou)has revealed new powers also finished Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut but don't have to much to say here cause saw this one only for the Plot anyway started another two series being the first one Bakuon!! (http://myanimelist.net/anime/30795/Bakuon?q=bakuon!!), not a big fan of motorcycles but this one caught my attention also pink has became my new favorite color, guess that I don't have to say why ....
The second one is Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31404/Netoge_no_Yome_wa_Onnanoko_ja_Nai_to_Omotta?q=Netoge) where totally felt in love with Ako (http://myanimelist.net/character/131005/Ako_Tamaki) and her relationship with Hideki (http://myanimelist.net/character/132322/Hideki_Nishimura), really liked the history inside and outside the online game but I won't say more cause don't want to give spoilers anyway this one has became my favorite one from this season, now I only need to find another two series cause don't like to see that many at the same time ;D

Finished up season three of Yuru Yuri. It was pretty good, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first two seasons.
I also started watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Pt4 and Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096. So far so good for both of those. I don't really pay much attention to anime "news" anymore, so discovering JoJo part 4 was airing already was a nice surprise when I was browsing through Crunchyroll earlier.

Think I found my chill/relaxing anime of the season with Flying Witch. It's like a backwards Harry Potter, where instead of the normal kid going to the school of magic, it's a witch who is going to live with family in a smaller countryside town, where she'll be going to regular high school. It's kind of slice of life with what looks to be some general magic aspects to it, but I feel it'll be kinda easy and enjoyable to watch.

Spent last days watching one episode by day from an Anime from the last season that really dunno how I missed, am talking about Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (http://myanimelist.net/anime/30831/Kono_Subarashii_Sekai_ni_Shukufuku_wo), dunno why but the story kinda reminded me Grimmar but without being serious or without those beautiful backgrounds but still fun to be seen, even when am not quite sure if a second season is scheduled really hope to see more about these characters specially from Lalatina Dustiness Ford (http://myanimelist.net/character/117285/Lalatina_Dustiness_Ford), she quickly became my favorite and even more after seeing episode nine:
Also started to watch Hundred (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31338/Hundred) which has became my third show from this season, being honest am seeing this one just for the Plot cause a lot of people is saying that this one is a mere copy or a rip off of Infinite Statos but since didn't saw it am giving Claire Harvey (http://myanimelist.net/character/136549/Claire__Harvey) a chance yes she is my main favorite character anyway can only say that from the two episodes released have to neither the story or the characters are the big deal, gonna give this a try but if something better came will put this one at the wait list :

Seems like The Lost Village is kinda fitting well into the name "Lost" as it feels kinda like the tv shows "Lost" lol It's getting weird, though continuing to hide all the weird stuff so far. I'm curious if it'll get more interesting the more that is revealed. As long as it has a better ending than Lost, I'll be alright.

This made me laugh today. I wandered over to FYE to browse around, decided to try and pick up some used CD's for cheap, found Megadeth's "Super Collider" (Massive fan, but man this was mostly a dud) and found Anthrax's "Anthems" which is a cover album. Opened it up in the car to listen to and found this on the inside cover. That's legit artwork for an official band. Big titted anime girl repping for Anthrax lol I guess cause of the Cheap Trick song "Big Eyes" on there, that it made sense to put a big eyed anime girl lol That's just great, even if the anime style is abit cheap...Kinda mid-grade harem anime cheap lol
This fictional harem anime is about the usual bunch of school girls trying to get with a cool boy, but it turns out the studious, top level student, is secretly a metalhead, and a big plot point for an episode, is the boy wanting to impress the girl by going with her to Anthrax at the Tokyo Dome, but he gets amusingly banged up in a circle put during "Caught in a Mosh"...
I need to make this anime...

Watched the new Ghost in the Shell Movie (Literally tagged "The New Movie"...God that is awful), and I liked it. It's the usual good action surrounded by political mindgames and philosophical discussions that I have never understood since the even the original movie. Still one of my favorites series though. I think the only thing I haven't watched right now is one of the Rise OVA's.

It took me a time but I finally have found my fourth Anime of this season where first I have to admit that really tried to give Gakusen Toshi Asterisk 2nd Season (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31737/Gakusen_Toshi_Asterisk_2nd_Season) a try but it doesn't caught me like all the rest of the shows that am currently enjoying in fact I actually didn't managed to see even the first episode anyway the one that really took my attention is Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31240/Re_Zero_kara_Hajimeru_Isekai_Seikatsu?q=Re%3AZero%20kara%20Hajimeru%20Isekai%20Seikatsu) decided to give it a try after watching some gifs of Emilia (http://myanimelist.net/character/118737/Emilia) and Elsa Granhiert (http://myanimelist.net/character/118749/Elsa_Granhiert) at Tumblr where without a doubt the first episode gave me the impression this one was another funny Anime but episode 1.5 told me that I was totally wrong, it might not be as good as Grimmar but it's pretty damn good, managed to saw the first 5 episodes last week and am currently at the office waiting for the HD release of the sixth one ;D

Finally started watching Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. Incredible show so far. Very interesting and with a quicker pace to it than Attack on Titan, while still being really engaging. The setting is something I really dig, mixing old, traditional, Japan, with steampunk tech weaponry and transportation. The Kabane creatures are basically just super strong zombies, so it works as a zombie show too.

Started watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood for the first time. I had watched the original series years ago, but never saw the most recent version. From what I understand, it sorta handles things like Hellsing Ultimate did, where they are rehashing what was done in the previous series, but much quicker, no fluff, and then will be adhering more closely to the manga for the future. It'll be interesting to see. I generally know the basics of a number of things from the first series, but there's still a few emotional moments early on that still got me, even knowing they are coming. The two big ones that any FMA watcher would know still tugged at the heart strings.
Gonna be a good watch.
*EDIT* And it was. Just finished all 5 parts and super enjoyed it. It's so well done and way better than the previous version of the show in most areas. Only negatives I would say is it felt like they were rushing things a little bit early on in the series, such as skipping over the events of the mining town completely. Sure, it doesn't have any significant impact on the show and they explain what happened in Part 3 I believe, but they reference the place multiple times and one of the side characters that Scar hangs out with is the baddie from there, so it seemed like it might've been worth doing a quick single episode on it like they did with the Cornello and Liore. Other than that little nit pick, it's great. I don't really know why I waited so long to watch this version of FMA.

Watched a good real world feeling anime about an earthquake that is likely to hit Tokyo and it's about two kids and a woman getting home to their family. It's a good single season series, but don't watch it late at night. It's quite sad lol It's called Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. There's no big action or anything really unrealistic in it, it's just a good drama about what is likely to happen there with a big earthquake.

Even when we already have reached the month of June I'm still looking for my fifth Anime from this season, saw two episodes of Seisen Cerberus: Ryuukoku no Fatalités (http://myanimelist.net/anime/32595/Seisen_Cerberus__Ryuukoku_no_Fatalit%C3%A9s) but seriously neither the story, the characters or even the plot took my full attention the one that took it was one from this past 2015, am talking about Bikini Warriors (http://myanimelist.net/anime/30782/Bikini_Warriors) am currently enjoying this but just one episode per day cause the duration of each episode is less the eight minutes, I don't have any problem with this cause Oshiete! Galko-chan was almost the same anyway Paladin and Mage instantly became my favorite characters but gotta love all the ladies ;D

While not about anime, it is the same country, so I was wondering if anyone has watched any interesting documentaries about Japan? Kinda opening to anything. Historical, political, geeky. I've seen a few, watched some travel shows that talk about it like Anthony Bourdain, I just find the country interesting, faults and all.

Terror in Resonance turned out to be a fairly interesting anime. It's something different than what I've watched lately and it had an engaging story to it. The story gets abit quirky in a few areas, but I feel like it still held up reasonably well enough. Director is Shinichiro Watanabe, the director of shows like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, though it doesn't particularly feel like those works at all.

Not the kind of documentaries that you might have seen or maybe you already have seen some ones about Aokigahara (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aokigahara), if you not you must give them a try, even before the movie The Forest were released I saw and read a lot of interesting facts about this forest, Japan is one of my favorites countries also am a big fan of all paranormal things, ghosts, haunted mansions and all that shit and also have seen some documentaries about Akihabara (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBVzmQlc_nY) this two are the places that I must visit before I die.
About the topic of the thread I finally saw the 12 episodes of Bikini Warriors this past Monday and stared with Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai (http://myanimelist.net/anime/29786/Shimoneta_to_Iu_Gainen_ga_Sonzai_Shinai_Taikutsu_na_Sekai) the same day, yes it is another perv series from this past 2015 that I have found at Tumblr, really don't give a shit about the main characters well maybe a little to Tanukichi Okuma but only when he interacts with Anna Nishikinomiya (http://myanimelist.net/character/115699/Anna_Nishikinomiya), she might be a support character but all the scenes that I saw from her are so damn good, before started seeing this one was reading some reviews and a lot of them said that it's a bad one but thanks to one of this I noticed that this was censored so the one that am currently enjoying is the uncensored one ;D

Yeah I've seen one or two things on the "Suicide Forest". Very creepy place. I use to watch more paranormal stuff for the trip and location value, nut for actual reasons of the paranormal, but I kinda stopped watching that stuff.
And yes, Akihabara is definitely a must go place for myself too. It's a dream to go to Japan and travel around for abit.

How was the spring 2016 anime season for folks? I thought there were a couple gems for this one in particular.
-Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress was great, though I need to finish the last episode. -My Hero Academia was a lot of fun, I think due in part to it's pretty great animation. Some action scenes were fantastic and there was characters I definitely thought were pretty cool. -Kiznaiver was an oddball show that ended a tad weak, but it was also meant to be more character focused, which is a big departure from what Trigger tends to do usually. I at least liked the characters, so it succeeded with that. -I'm only halfway through Bungou Stray Dogs, but for the most part I think it's entertaining enough. -Mayoiga, The Lost Village, was another that I felt started strong, but as it went along, it got abit annoying, but it wasn't too bad. It tied itself up well enough in the end. -Flying Witch is basically my chill show for the season, I'm only halfway through, but it's the most laidback anime I've seen awhile. Just peaceful country living with sprinklings of magic. I feel it's needed when everything else I tend to watch is action heavy lol -Jojo came back and it's a lot of fun, though I don't think I'm liking it quite as much as Stardust Crusaders right now. I feel its because there's not really a big danger like with Dio from before. It's still weird, goofy, nonsense, though. It's ongoing though and will be getting an extra long show run which is awesome.
The only shows I abandoned were High School Fleet, which felt like it wanted to be Girls Und Panzer, but it mostly was just dumb nonsense going on with highschool girls who were given real working naval vessels with live amunition and IT IS JUST SO DUMB. I also dumped another moe girl show with Bakuon, the motorbike club that is trying to be K-On, but also didn't seem to be as good to me. It's not as bad as High School Fleet and had more genuine humor to it, I just didn't feel like going back it.
Summer season is coming up and a few are jumping out at me.
-Berserk, because finally they are continuing the series. -Arslan is coming back for a second season and it's a solid enough fantasy/medieval battle show.
Mostly it right now. Kinda waiting to hear about anything else to see if I might like it.
I know which one Doafan will be looking to watch ;D
I know which one Doafan will be looking to watch ;D
I saw it yesterday but apart from the fact that the subbing was horrible cause some parts were translated to Spanish, saw it online and even downloaded a copy cause the quality really sucks dunno what the hell was wrong with it, I was expecting the release of this Anime until this next 6th of July, at least that's the date that My Anime List (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31845/Masou_Gakuen_HxH) has for this one but it seems that will have to see it again because this version it's censored but don't have a problem watching it twice, anyway a lot of people are complain about the fact that this one is practically Hentai, after reading a lot of comments my reaction was what the fuck is wrong with them, I mean come on just by looking at the poster you already know what to expect, I really enjoyed every damn second of the "action" here (http://i.imgur.com/IAQN23U.gif)
I watched someones first impressions, and wow, it's more lewd than I was expecting for the art for the show lol Practically is hentai.
Soft Hentai but I don't have a problem if they decide to make it happen 8)
Edit: The uncensored episode was released today at the web page that I follow which is kinda weird cause they don't show uncensored versions there anyway I saw it again, the quality this time and also the subs were perfect, guess that will have to wait a couple of days more to see the complete one ;D

About half way through the anime "Baccano" after hearing it was supposed to be good. It's far more violent and intense than I expected, while also being weird and goofy. It's hard to get a good idea about the show due it's very disjointed narrative that constantly jumps back and forth between three different years and like a dozen or more characters. I am very entertained though which is great. Feels kinda like Durarara in that regard, following a large cast of characters that are all interconnected into the main plot in some way, but it's way more confusing due to the timeline. A whole lot of the time I'm struggling to keep track of where we are at in the plot. Takes at least two or three episodes to even get a handle on it, at least for me.
Interesting mix of characters though. A couple are rather obnoxious, two of which I'm unsure if they actually matter much to the plot or not. Others are good just for story reasons. Some are just great, with one in particular, being incredibly unique such as Ladd Russo, a psychotic bad guy in the story. He reminds me a lot of like The Joker from Batman with his insanity, who's fixation on blood, violence, and killing is next level. I honestly don't know if I've ever seen another character as truly maniacally in love with what he does as Ladd. I mean, he's a detestable monster, but god damn is he an entertaining character.

Started to watch my second Anime from this season where have to admit that I really was expecting it with a lot on anxiety, I am talking about Shokugeki no Souma: Ni no Sara (http://myanimelist.net/anime/32282/Shokugeki_no_Souma__Ni_no_Sara) and no am not watching this one because of the Plot even when I do have to admit that there are some of it with the best tasting food reactions that I have ever seen in my entire life, like the following one of Alice (come on everybody already know that I have to show something) ...
... have enjoyed the second episode a couple of minutes ago and only have to say that am pretty sure that this one will be my favorite one from this season, even when the chapters from the Manga has been released weeks ago decided not to read it because I love to see the animations from this one, they are in my personal opinion fucking awesome, by example the match between Megumi and Ryou is a pure example of what am saying with this clear reference of the game JoJo's Bizarre Adventure ...
... and man what can I say about the food that they show, had to purchase something to eat here in the damn office when I was watching this episode, but now have to wait until next week to see the next one and am still starving :'(

Yeah I'm gonna jump into the Food Wars season 2 myself today. I didn't like the first season at first with the first few episodes because I thought it was gonna be nothing about the overtly sexual reactions to food, which I thought would make the show too one note, but once the challenges started happening, it actually turned into an entertaining show and was a good watch.
I love that Jojo bit, I thought it was directly from the new Jojo with how good it looked lol

Shokugeki No Soma is definitely back and great. I just want to try and cook something every time I watch these episodes lol
Also something that sorta keeps with the food theme is a show called "Sweetness & Lightning". This will be my cute/chill anime for this season as it's a slice of life type of show about a father trying to raise a daughter after his wife died 6 months ago, the toddler being too young to fully understand what happened, and while it has these tinges of being bittersweet throughout, it looks like it'll be centering around cooking food for his daughter to eat with the help of a fellow student of his who's mother runs a restaurant and I think it'll be her trying to realize desires to cook as good as her mom. Not sure if they are trying to play up a relationship between them in this, or if it'll just be a regular friendship or not.
This show also made me want to cook, though much simpler, as I just want to make some pot rice cooked with abit of sake lol I'm actually hoping to maybe someday try my hand at sushi again and create something like a volcanic roll knowing what it takes to make good sushi rice now.
Seems to be about it other than Berserk that I'll keep up with. A light season which is great as I still need to catch up on a show or two I didn't finish from last season as I really don't want to drop Flying Witch.

Last weekend I pounded through the My Hero Academia, Berserk, and Punpun mangas which were all really good.
Only anime I've watched recently was Food Wars season 2 and Berserk. Food Wars is really good so far, whereas I'm not happy with Berserk due to all of the changes they made, and skipping arcs already. Not to mention how some of the sound effects and cg don't sound/ look good.

The Black Swordsman arc and Lost Children arc in pretty much their entirety.

Yep, I guessed that since they already made those 3 movies off the Golden Age arc that they wouldn't do that again. But I was kinda bummed that they skipped over those arcs, especially the Lost Children one. Episode 2 starts off at Chapter 135 in the manga.

Could they just work those arcs into the story, just placed differently? I don't know a ton from the manga itself.

Perhaps, but the only flashbacks I've seen so far are from Golden Age. In my opinion, lost children has a lot of character development w/ Guts, and the Beast of Darkness, new combos,, while black swordsman establishes the base setting, Gut's early personality, the belhelt and the spirit world, etc. They are pretty important to fleshing out the world of Berserk, although Lost Children does a better job of this than the Black Swordsman arc.
I was really hoping they would do a complete adaption of the manga, given how the earlier series is primarily the Golden Age arc. Unforuntately, the company behind the new anime has a pretty low budget/staff ( their previous works is Tekyuu 1-6, which is mostly one guy), which is probably why its only a 13 episode season , and has low budget cg w/ barely any 2d animation. There is also a surprising lack of blood for battle scenes, especially compared to their original counterparts. If only Madhouse or Bones did it, I'd think they could totally make a complete adaption work.

Yeah they really needed a better studio for this. I don't completely hate the new show, though I haven't watched episode 2 yet. I can still find parts to enjoy, but it's definitely not the show anyone wanted after all these years.
Title: Re: Anime/Manga/Etc...
Post by: kamikazekeeg on July 12, 2016, 02:00:44 am
I don't get why they are mixing drawn animation and 3D models in Berserk. It is straight up drawn animation in the flashbacks right? They just look so different from the main show, because it looks like a proper anime. It's weird, because the flashbacks visually look way different than the main show. They do continue the line work shading they use in the main story meant to represent manga, which I like, but this show is just odd.
It's still watchable to me, this show generally looks better without the awful skeletons and there was a lot of blood too. I figure the first episode wasn't that bloody since it's mostly skeletons and not alot of real gore there to be had. It is a better episode for sure, but yeah it seems like they are rushing things. Got a feeling their rush to this short season will end up with them not continuing it for the long run.
*EDIT* Started watching a new show called Thunderbolt Fantasy. It's not anime, but puppetry that's actually kinda impressive, mixing very detailed and well handed puppets with CG for effects and stuff. For the medium, the action is just as good as normal animation. I think it helps that it's a good combination of practical effects and CG. It is a tad cheesy at times due to the puppets mouths not really moving (Like the bottom moves a tiny bit at times, but it's not actually in time with the voice), but the detail is handled so well, that you can kinda forgive that. It helps that the dolls aren't creepy at all. Usually I can find dolls a little unsettling or very cartoony, like Team America, but it's all very "bishounen" visually lol
(http://i.imgbox.com/UTKh2TVX.gif)
And found another cute slice of life show called Amanchu I'll watch. Basically it's about an introverted girl who moves to a small seaside town in her first high school year, unsure of her new place, who befreinds an overly outgoing and goofy girl who loves scuba diving and it seems like it'll be kinda just about the introvert finding something to enjoy and have fun with in her new life. This kind of stuff is just relaxing to me.

Alright, you should watch episode 2. That battle scene w/ farnese and the guards has a lack of blood or damage w/ Guts, especially since they skip a previous battle, and it completely screws up the importance of the end result. I'm still gonna check out episode 3 when it airs on friday.

I wouldn't say there was a lack of blood or damage, like 6 guys are chopped in half with one blow and just explode into a geyser of blood and parts. That is kinda mostly it other than all the guys he smashes up, but I thought that worked fine for what they were trying to get across. It seems like those that don't know the manga will be able to get more entertainment out of this, like me, than someone expecting a specific plot to be followed after having read over a 100 chapters of the manga. It's probably why I'll stick with the show for the season at least.

It seems that Berserk is kind popular around here I was decided to watch the first episode this week, need my regular dose of blood, violence and of course boobs and since the old version of 1998 had all of this it was supposed to be my third favorite Anime from this season until another Anime took my complete attention, am talking about Taboo Tattoo (http://myanimelist.net/anime/29758/Taboo_Tattoo) saw the second episode this morning and it sure packs a punch, a lot of blood, good and intense fights, more blood and of course some Plot in moderate quantities, don't believe me ? ;D

I was talking about Guts himself. It just didn't look like he was too damaged, but he gets that little sword nick in his neck, and passes out. Whereas in the original story, it was the last straw for him since his endurance was pretty low and was badly injured since he'd been fighting demons and armies of fairies the previous night ( lost children arc).
You're defenitely right about that the show will good more entertainment for non- manga readers, and that's good for them to broaden their audience. It just that most of my friends and I were pretty dissapointed since we wanted a straight adaptation.

Not to knock ya or anything, maybe you weren't paying attention too much to it, but Guts very clearly states he can barely feel his limbs when fighting the main knight, his right arm erupts with blood from a wound as he flexes his bicep to use his sword to hack the guys in half after taking the arrow bolt to the leg that sets him off, and then as he launched himself at the girl leader, a large log was chucked at his gushing leg wound, which I think was the real cause of him going down, not the stab to the neck with the sword itself, though it clearly jabbed into his neck muscle a good couple inches. I think that green guy chasing after Guts at the end of the episode was the one who threw the log quickly perhaps, since there's something sneaky about him.
It's clear they are hurrying things abit, but I thought it was pretty noticeable in that fight that he was pretty worn out, since he wasn't using his sword too often in the battle other than a few outbursts because he just can't fully use it in his current state.

Oh crap, totally forgot about the log stab w/ serpico. I completely missed that detail due to not paying attention. But he is supposed to be pretty damaged from his fight against the huge fairy from the previous arc. I just remembered that Guts looked way more damaged, with blood everywhere, and it didn't really seem like it was there as much in the anime to me. I wonder if they're gonna keep the horse scene in the next episode. This whole arc has some pretty nasty monsters, so I'm still hoping that the cg animation doesn't look too bad, especially for the goat demon.

He does look more damaged in the Manga, just checked to make sure. I'm also wondering how they're going to take on all the heavy stuff that's coming the farther we get in the conviction arc.

Finished the main run of Baccano. Weird, occasionally intense (It's violent, but oof, sometimes they push it), but entertaining. I ended up kinda hating the comedic relief characters of Isaac and Miriam, which is a shame as they factor into most of the story, while basically being completely unimportant to the plot. It got a little confusing at times when they jumped around a very specific three year timeline, with so many characters involved, but like half way through the show, you start to get use to it.

Episode 3 of berserk: This was actually good, nothing got removed thankfully. The new apostle and setting worked well in my opinion.
Although from the ending, it looks like they going to skip over the other apostle and his followers from the Holy See organization and jump stright into the Hawk of the Millenium Falcon arc. My guess is that they're gonna try to get everyone in Gut's party by the end of the season by the rate they're going for.

I actually finally decided to give Re:Zero a watch. I had heard it was a slow start and picks up later, but I think it's pretty interesting right off the bat. I was kinda worried they were gonna treat it like every other "Trapped in a fantasy world" anime, but it helps that all the characters are well done. No one is a helpless damsel, the lead is kind of a dick, but has a good heart and determination when needed and isn't fine with just waiting around for something to happen, and the stories gimmick is handled pretty well. To hear that it's supposed to get better is exciting as I'm currently up to Episode 7.

Man, Inferno Cop is amazingly dumb. Trigger is just a wonderful studio lol
Yes, Inferno Cop is some good senseless fun. Never change Trigger.
I'm glad I finished Inferno Cop first before finishing Space Patrol Luluco, or else the Inferno Cop cameo would've made a little less sense lol

*Slightly spoilery talk for Episode 17 of Re:Zero*
I know Subaru is basically being driven insane with all of his deaths and everything that happens to him, but the whole time he's trying to talk to Emilia, I'm just saying "Tell her about the cultists, tell her about the cultists, tell her about the cultists, TELL HER ABOUT THE CULTISTS...Or just grab her and tell her she's useless. Sure. That works." Also his inability to connect the loss of Rem to the magically flying whale is frustrating too. When faced with multiple instances of people being erased from existence because of the whale, he can't put it together.
Probably being far too harsh and looking at this as an outsider who has the convenience of piecing it together, but it seems pretty obvious with the caravan driver disappearing, Otto not remembering Rem, and Ram also not remembering her. With that, he should've been wondering "why", rather than just simply lashing out, like it's their fault. I'm pretty sure they would just have that be the result of his sanity slipping way, but I personally hate frustrating stuff like that. That kind of stuff just drives me nuts lol I don't care if it might make sense in the story, I want it to stop and for them to realize what is going on lol

Another emotional rollercoaster for Re:Zero, but in a good way this time as it seems like the story can really progress now after the hell Subaru went through. It was getting more increasingly dark and I wasn't sure if they'd pull out of that tailspin or not. Rem is also confirmed as best girl.

So it looks like I jumped the gun, and Berserk looks like it will cover the end of the Convention arc, with the priest and his subordinates; sorry about that. The cg faces still make me laugh my ass off, and it's a bit weird when one scene has half of the people and background moving in 2d animation, and the other half are cg models, and it just looks so out of place.
I've also been watching Jojo Part 4; the adaptation is actually really good. Also blazed through Jojo manga pts. 3-8 last week so I'm fully caught up with the series. I really enjoyed most of the parts; weakest one in my opinion was Part 5. The few things that were jarring were : Josuke in early part 4, Jotaro looking a bit too young in pt. 6. This is truly an awesome series, and its amazing that its still going after almost 30 years. The art in parts 7/8 is also incredible; defenitely check it out if you plan to read it.
Planning to start reading Welcome to the N.H.K., especially since I enjoyed reading Goodnight Punpun, and wanted to check out more of this guy's works.
Edit: Finished N.H.K.; thought it was too short but alright.

Yeah I've basically stopped Berserk at episode 3. I don't hate it as much as others do, but it's just so ugly looking and the good looking parts are so far and few between. The upcoming Berserk game looks leagues better in visuals.

Yeah, I'm pretty impressed with how it looks so far, as well as the multiple playable character including Zodd. If there's a physical PS3 Asian version, I might import it as long as it runs ok and the price isn't super high like some of the other anime game imports like Eyes of Heaven.

Finally managed to found my fourth Anime from this season but before I say the name of this one have to say that the episode 16 of Re: Zero (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31240/Re_Zero_kara_Hajimeru_Isekai_Seikatsu) gave me an horrible headache really didn't understand what the hell was happening at this one, the relation between the white whale and Rem's disappearance from the memory of everybody and what happen next was intense and this is why haven't seen the latest episode even when it was released days ago, Taboo Tattoo (http://myanimelist.net/anime/29758/Taboo_Tattoo) is getting a couple of "gore" scenes with the supporting characters of the story which I still like it just hope that they don't get that much since I only decided to see this one for the Plot and the fights, need to watch episode five whenever have some free time, Masou Gakuen HxH (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31845/Masou_Gakuen_HxH) is becoming a Hentai but don't have any problem with this so am not gonna say more about this one about the second of Shokugeki no Souma (http://myanimelist.net/anime/32282/Shokugeki_no_Souma__Ni_no_Sara) as always every episode leaves me starving and really can't wait to see how Souma will beat Subaru at the shokugeki.
And finally Amanchu (http://myanimelist.net/anime/31771/Amanchu) took my full atention, have seen the first two episodes but totally love the interactions between Hikari and Futaba, there is no fights, gore or plot here just a pure an entertaining good Anime where the background music is pure awesome also the relax atmosphere that this show has to offer makes me feel better after a bad day of work, the kinda of Anime that everybody needs to watch to have some fun, Whoop whoopity whoop! ;D

With that over with, I think Amanchu will be the replacement, muppet faces and all lol That and Sweetness & Lightning are my two casual relaxing shows of the season.

Does anyone know what's exactly going on in Dragon Ball Super? I haven't been watching the show for a while, but it seems that there is an evil " Goku" that can travel through dimensions and its a bit jarring because I probably missed some backstory.
Abunai Sisters had all 10 episodes on kissanime, so me and some friends decided to watch it, but wow its such a horrible show with really ugly CGI and made by Production I.G. of all companies. This got sandwiched between two bad fan shows on youtube, Tokyo Crystal Mew and Nyan Neko Sugar Girls.
On the manga side, I started Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin. The artwork and mechs are top-notch, and I'm liking how the story is coming out compared to the original anime. Certain characters get some characterization as well. Also got Gantz and Vagabond on my backlog along with 20th and 21st century boys.

Stuff like this... http://d-kamiichi.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/shinkaimakoto-per_second_5_centimeters-film.jpg
It's what I usually use for my desktop backgrounds if I don't have anything else.
Real world stuff can work to if it's visually interesting like this which is basically my current background. http://blog.hdwallsource.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/mt-fuji-widescreen-wallpaper-51291-52987-hd-wallpapers.jpg

Tried getting into Mob Psycho 100, a show I know some people were going nuts over, but I personally didn't care for it. I know it comes from the guy who did One Punch Man, but I find the art style here to sloppy and messy to enjoy. When it gets crazy, it's kinda interesting, but generally I just don't like it which kinda kills the show for me.

Haven't been able to find another good Anime from this season and since Masou Gakuen HxH is becoming more hardcore with every new episode decided to see some Hentai because is practically what am watching right now, I enjoyed the two episodes of Maro no Kanja wa Gatenkei where being honest still wonder why the hell they did only released two of them, the history even when it's not that original is quite fun, the damn doctor has become my favorite male character also saw Baka na Imouto o Rikou ni Suru no wa Ore no xx Dake na Ken ni Tsuite but from this one I only enjoyed the first episode, the animation are not the big deal, the story is pretty dumb the same as the character but since discovered some good gifs from it at Tumblr decided to give it a try am sorry but from this two there won't be any sample images ;D

Man, I really need Attack on Titan Season 2 to hurry up. I know it's out next year, but after dumping a bunch of hours into the PS4 game and currently rewatching the dub for the show which is pretty good (Watched it in Japanese originally), I'm about to just start reading the manga which is so much father ahead. I prefer anime over manga, but I'm very tempted, especially after being slightly spoiled on a few story details coming up. I really want to know more lol

My five series from this season are over where am glad that all of them will have a second season, well am not sure if Amanchu! will have one but at least the will have an Special the next year also Shokugeki no Souma: Ni no Sara only had 12 episodes this season dunno why the hell they decided to release only this quantity if the past season they gave us 24, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu is the one that took all my respect and seriously can't wait to see what happens next, Taboo Tattoo well since am not gonna see anymore my boleved Touko Ichinose and that the story went nuts at the end dunno if will continue watching this with joy or only to know what happens and finally Masou Gakuen HxH what can I say about this one, need more PLOT ;D

I started into the new stuff last night. Tiger Mask W is kinda old school feeling, but isn't anything particularly impressive. It's just okay. Kaiju Girls is one of those cute 5 minute shows. The Ancient Magus Bride seems really interesting and I'm wanting more from it as the world feels real rich. Lots of details and little tidbits that draw you in. Izetta: The Last Witch seems pretty good too, set in an alternate reality version of WW2 Europe, where things are very familiar, but details are changed and of course magic is involved with the stories witch character. Magical Girl Raising Project is basically a moe magical girls show, but it's clearly going to counter the cuteness with some upcoming violence, subvert the genre it's doing, such as School Live. Not sure about this one yet. I think there's another show or two coming soon, but that's all I've watched so far of the new season.

(https://myanimelist.net/anime/32603/Okusama_ga_Seitokaichou_) despite the fact that their episodes do not last more than nine minutes really enjoy the story and the Plot, oh the Plot here is awesome, glad to have Ui back in action ;D

I swear, everytime I see these kind of shows, I go "Well this is certainly for DOA" lol This is the new show "Keijo". It's an anime that is basically built around that Dead or Alive Extreme Volleyball booty bouncing game lol
It no joke has some pretty fun action to it, very over the top, down to there seemingly being powers I guess? Might just be the exaggerated visuals of powers, like you see in sports animes. It's so overt, so incredibly dumb, I can't help but find it entertaining. It's kinda like Highschool of the Dead in that way.

You must be kidding me, can't believe that your first impression when you saw was: Hey it's the kind of stuff that DOA must like and you are wrong cause I don't like it I TOTALLY LOVE IT in fact I saw the first episode yesterday before I leave the office that's why I wasn't able to post my impressions, about the "powers" they are so freaking amazing for example that Butt Cannon is quite impressive ...
Indeed it looks like a copy of one the DOAX mini games but in this Anime the players can also use their bOObs to attack too, damn I haven't played the DOAX3 so am not sure in the latest release of this game they can use this kind of attack, if they haven't am very disappointed anyway don't have to say that it has become my favorite from this season.

How is it that Berserk, the incredibly well known manga that's been around since the 90's struggles to get the show it truly deserves, but the guy who made Hellsing gets two amazingly done shows now with Drifters? lol
Drifters is awesome so far. It's the same exact style as Hellsing, down to art and humor, but this time it's set in a fantasy world where warriors from different eras are sent for some reason. Super cool setting, great animation, and fun intro with mixing art styles and a rocking tune.

Hadn't heard about this one, but could be fun, I'll give it a look. Coming across quite a number of shows to watch this season. I got Poco's Udon World which is basically this seasons Sweetness and Lightning it seems. Drifters from the Hellsing guy. Crazy butts with Keijo. The Ancient Magus Bride, which isn't actually a regular series. Kaiju Girls which is just a short series. Izetta which is the fantasy WW2 setting. Not sure if I'll watch the rest of Magical Girl Raising Project which is one of those cutesie shows with a dark twist. Wagnaria which is just a sort comedic slice of life. Then I have seasons 2 of Jojo and Iron Blooded Orphans.

Yikes, I think Occultic Nine is awful lol Insane pacing, some of the fastest dialogue I've come across outside some of those short form shows that are usually like 5 to 10 minutes, but this was that in a full length show. It was confusing and awkward and the lead guy is ridiculous obnoxious, yelling constantly. Also kind of messy with it's editing and art. It's not super clean, but at times it's almost blurry it feels. I couldn't find anything to latch onto with it so I'll be dropping it.

I only watched the first episode. I could barely keep up with the dialogue and what was going on visually and I'm 100% great with English lol I just had nothing to go on when the show was over. I was completely confused, which can be alright if there were other things I liked, but I came away not really enjoying much or really wanting to learn more. It really didn't help that the lead guy is incredibly annoying.

The guy has became more annoying but the story is getting pretty intense and even more complicated, have to saw some of the episodes even three times just to try to understand it, in the other hand can say that am happy enough with Keijo!!!!!!!! and Okusama ga Seitokaichou!+! to much plot for my eyes and my hands anyway have found my fourth Anime from this season, am taking about Shuumatsu no Izetta (https://myanimelist.net/anime/33433/Shuumatsu_no_Izetta) honestly am not a big fan of the witches but the fusion between them and what appears to be a copy of the WW2 is kinda cool, Plot here is minimum so yes am seeing this one just for the history ;D
This film was amazing. Words can't describe how great it was.

I'll tough it out though as I just want to get to the later stuff in the series that I hear is good.

I ended up running right through all of Dragon Ball Super and while a number of the Japanese voices still bothered me, I'm glad I did. There's a lot of good stuff going on outside of say the first two arcs that just rehash the first two movies, though they altered enough stuff in ways that worked better for the tv show, for the most part. There's a Future Trunks arc that they just finished that had some great action and good villains in it so that was certainly fun. Very curious to see where they are gonna head next as apparently they'll reveal the next arc in a week or two.
Currently pretty far behind on the rest of the new shows this season though. I'll have to do some binge watching eventually to catch up, maybe drop a show or two that isn't drawing me in entirely.

I did decide to snag a series last weekend in that I picked up Hunter X Hunter Vol.1 on Blu-Ray. It was on sale from $59.99 to $27.99 and came in Steelbook packaging which I'm an absolute sucker for. :P
It's only 13 episodes so I'll get around to watching it eventually. ;)

Finally started getting caught up with the anime of the last season. I kinda didn't watch much in the past two months, but I dropped a couple I didn't really feel a strong urge to watch and binged through One Piece, Drifters, and Jojo.
One Piece finally just reached a point where we are reminded that One Piece exists and that we seem to be on that path again for the first time in forever lol Got some plot twists that kinda reinvigorated things since Dressrosa was such a long and kinda tedious event.
Drifters is great, not quite Hellsing Ultimate good, but I love all the mixture of characters from history fighting it out in a fantasy world. There's kind of a surprise reveal on a previous Drifter in the show, which is interesting, because you realize more and more that this isn't a normal Good Guys vs Bad Guy kind of show or even like the kind of fighting for good seen in Hellsing, most Drifters and Ends were once tyrants, bloodthirsty soldiers, etc...I think it kinda comes down to how people died and whether they died with rage towards the world or not. Hard to explain lol
Jojo continues to be weird, ridiculous, and entertaining, though I'm curious if there is more to this season of the show or if we are ending it soon for the next era, because the main villains haven't really been as good as Dio or the Pillar Men. Kira works great, he's truly evil, but he's not Dio level. Curious if it picks up by the end.

This weekend started to watch Fuuun Ishin Dai Shogun (https://myanimelist.net/anime/21821/Fuuun_Ishin_Dai%E2%98%86Shogun) and really dunno how did I miss this Anime, is not that recent because it's from this past 2014 but it has all that love, bOObs and Mechas, even when it has a bad reputation/reviews I don't care cause am watching an episode per day and really liked what I saw by the way Occultic;Nine has become more intense these last episodes so I really recommend it being honest didn't expected to see a good development in the story but it really has became so weird and obscure, despite the facts that they do talk to much and that the dialogues are to damn fast it really deserves a second chance, trust me.

Yeah I have Occult Nine in my queue still, one of the few I kept, so I have that, Keijo, and Izetta to watch for the last of the current season stuff to catch up on, so I'll probably burn through each of those up till Christmas.

From the few episodes I watched, I thought it was good, silly, fun. It's like Highschool of the Dead in that way. It's not like it's being watched for the plot or characters, it's just about some dumb, well animated, action.

I just came from seeing the last episode and trust me when I say that you need to watch the last three episodes immediately, the animation is very fluid and those damn attacks are quite hilarious so the Plot is no the only good thing at it, you have to believe cause nobody in the whole forum is as perv as I am ;D
nooooooooooooooooooo this is why I haven't been watching any shows for the last 3 months.

And another part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is done. Honestly, I think I liked Part 2 and Part 3 better, just because the villains are way better. Sure, it's unfair to compare him to Dio or the Pillar Men, who have absolutely insane powers, and maybe it was better to have a more grounded villain after those, but I did feel like the ending was a tad underwhelming. It's not a bad Part, there's a lot of charming elements and characters, but Stardust Crusaders and Battle Tendency just had more I enjoyed overall and ended in big ways.
The next one I feel could be more interesting with a quick glimpse at its location and main character, so I'm hoping for things to pick up when that happens.

Part 5 is Japan's favorite so I can see David Production really giving it their all with it. (Assuming we get an adaptation)

I assume we will see it continue, I think it's been doing good for them, but you never know. I hear it gets ridiculous later on, so I really hope they continue on. Sure, I could read the manga, but to me, Jojo is a show that is far more style over substance and looks better in motion than on the page.
Title: Re: Anime/Manga/Etc...
Post by: azure on December 24, 2016, 12:29:39 pm
Yeah, the ridiculousness never stops when it comes to JoJo. You're in for some pretty bizarre stuff if they keep the adaptations up. I think DP does a great job adapting JoJo, while adding some additional story, aside from some of the animation messes we saw with Part 4. I gotta disagree with JoJo looking better in motion, it's a discredit to Araki's style. I believe it comes down to more of a preference, like you said on how some prefer too see something in motion than panels on a page.
I assume you don't know much of later parts by your wording. So what did you think of Part 4's shift in artstyle, from the more manly Fist of the North Star style from the earlier parts?

I probably like the show the most around Part 3, but I didn't mind the style shift at all. I think it still looks pretty good as it is and I really loved the extreme color shifting they had with this one. It kept everything very visually exciting. As for what I meant about in motion, I've seen manga shots where clearly that glorious art is way better, for very specific scenes, it's definitely one of the better looking manga's I've seen, but still overall, I want to see the flurry of punches or hear the voices calling people out, things like that sell this show way more to me than simply reading the manga.

Had the idea that Getsuyoubi no Tawawa (https://myanimelist.net/anime/34213/Getsuyoubi_no_Tawawa) was already over because at MyAnimeList the webpage that I use as a reference to know when an Anime will start and when it will finish they have this one with the status Finished Airing but yesterday when was looking for some gifs saw some new animations that have never seen before, didn't took me that much to know that they lied or were wrong so don't have to say that already have seen the episodes 13th and 14th, am glad that this one is still going on, it's a series that obviously have some Plot but the kind of Cute one with a silly history, dumb characters so it really deserves a chance also and because of this started to watch SoniAni: Super Sonico The Animation (https://myanimelist.net/anime/20555/SoniAni__Super_Sonico_The_Animation) have seen the first three episodes and really have to say that am not disappointed, was expecting to see Plot of Sonico's boobs every damn minute but I was completely wrong, it does have a story a silly one but still entertaining, definitely will continue with the rest of the episodes ;D

Doesn't seem like much to watch for the winter season this year. Blue Exorcist got a season 2 I might watch, and Akiba's Trip could maybe be something, though the game was so bad, it's kinda soured my interest lol Probably something you'd like I'd imagine, DOA lol
Dragon Ball Super is getting its English dub, so I might rewatch that and I'm seeing One Piece Gold in theater next week, but haven't seen too much else preparing to show up. I think spring will be the big start of this year with Attack on Titan Season 2.

Am kinda surprised for two things, first you seems to know me pretty well or at least you know the kind of Anime that I like and second already saw the first episode yesterday at night where I can only say that totally freaking love Akiba's Trip The Animation, it has the three things that I love, Plot, Boobs and my favorite place on earth Akihabara, can't wait for the second episode to be released :-[

Started into the new season with "Interview with Monster Girls" and its mostly just a cute highschool show. It's kinda more the opposite of that other popular monster girls show, as it's nothing sexual really, outside of a little talk, but feels a tad more slice of life. Just a kinda simple, cute show, where some of the other girls are "demi-humans", which mostly just means they are like genetically different from humans and are vampires, dulahans, snow women, succubus, etc...

Watched the start of "Saga of Tanya the Evil" and its hard to tell if I like it or not. I like the fictional WW1 setting, a slightly alternate world of ours where magic exists in the form of wearable gems/tech and the idea of mage forces that fly around and basically act as the aerial strikers rather than planes that would be there of the time.
Though as the title points out, Tanya is a cruel monster who just happens to be a kid, who is the reincarnation of a modern day Tokyo salaryman, who was an asshole, and is determined to rise up the ranks at any cost. There are enjoyable asshole characters in anime for sure, but not sure about Tanya. Again...it is in the title, "evil", but not sure if it makes for a watchable show. At least some of the action is good to watch. Also the reasoning why this guy was reincarnated seems real dumb and I'm kinda curious if that ends up being much of anything to the overall story by the end. Also, I feel like she's just become like a dictator by the end too somehow.

Have found my third favorite Anime from this season and it's kinda awkward that I did like it cause am not really into music but totally felt in love with Fuuka (https://myanimelist.net/anime/33743/Fuuka) dunno if it's for the characters, the animation, the music or the story or maybe because it's from a genre that have never seen that I enjoyed this one that much, already have seen the four episodes that has been released in fact I just saw the last one a couple of minutes ago and already am waiting for the next one, damn am even considering to read the Manga just to know more about this one about the Plot well it's practically none but we already had the classic beach episode without a doubt it's very good and the draws kinda remind me another but right now can't say which one :P
Title: Re: Anime/Manga/Etc...
Post by: kamikazekeeg on January 21, 2017, 02:03:44 pm
Music you say? I on the other hand really enjoy music and there's a few music related anime I like, such as Detroit Metal City, Beck, and K-On. I'll have to check this out.
*EDIT* Nevermind, that first episode of Fuuka is awful lol

Oh come on you can't say that an Anime is awful just by watching the first episode well at least that's why I think, the real deal jus started at episode three when she decided to start the band and when .... am not gonna spoil you more but seriously if you don't have something better to do just give it a try.

Skimmed through Hand Shakers first episode hearing how bad it was and man...That was bad lol As I heard it said, it's basically the most ambitiously bad anime I've seen in awhile. It has both good traditional animation and good rendered CG backgrounds and such, but combined they look horribly out of place, with crazy camera shifts and then like there's lots of bad CG mixed in and the characters are covered in shadow and lighting effects, it's incredibly awful. It's frustrating to watch, which is a new feeling to me when watching anime, because every time there's some drastically out of touch visual element, its kinda draining to see. Like you wouldn't think anything ridiculous would be happening with kids walking to school and there's lots of hand drawn characters which is more than you see in a lot of anime tv, but there's also the CG background and like weird lens choices and the camera is moving at the same time, and the sky is CONSTANTLY moving at high speed, oof...
That's a bad one lol

Every time I see a well animated CG anime now, such as Ronja over at Amazon, I just think about how badly handled Berserk was. THE Berserk gets garbage, while this family friendly show gets a nice 'ole adaptation. Charming show, has some production help from Studio Ghibli, and the director is Goro Miyazaki, Hayao Miyazaki's son. Likely my chill anime for the season.

Don't want to admit it but I have found my fourth favorite Anime from this season, dunno what the hell it's happening to me I mean am still a damn perv but totally liked Seiren (https://myanimelist.net/anime/33836/Seiren), the typical story of romantic and comical stuff at school anyway felt in love the first four episodes with Hikari Tsuneki (https://myanimelist.net/character/146254/Hikari_Tsuneki) which is not the typical girl that you expect to see in this kind of Anime and at the episode five I felt in love with Tooru Miyamae (https://myanimelist.net/character/146290/Tooru_Miyamae), the typical gamer girl that nobody knows that she likes to play video games, there is no much Plot here maybe a couple of them but very minimal and well done :D

Watched the Gantz:0 movie up on Netflix and its pretty good. I wasn't gonna watch it at first, because I thought the original show and manga was much more gory, like body horror level type stuff, but this is just extra violent with some real weird creatures to kill. Certain types of gore is just too uncomfortable to me to watch, despite my enjoyment of zombie material and general violence. This even turned into a Kaiju movie at one point.
I remember that I think I tried to watch the Gantz anime like 10 years ago, but don't remember too much from that at all and never read the manga.
Anyone else know Gantz? I'm curious if they ever explain what Gantz really is, like its background and the reasoning for everything. Its said in the movie that its aliens, so does the synopsis on the wiki, but the creature at the end says its gods that they are fighting, which would make sense being that they look like demons of Japanese folklore. I don't want to be spoiled on what the answer is, just to know if they actually answer it. Stuff like this can bug me at times if we never get a definitive answer. Like I want to know how the virus spread in The Walking Dead, but I know they will never answer that lol

Last week started to watch Masamune-kun no Revenge (https://myanimelist.net/anime/33487/Masamune-kun_no_Revenge) and I really liked it, have seen the first ten episodes practically in a row where of course didn't forgot the other series that am currently following, with the little exception of Seiren which I paused for a couple of weeks or at least until this one is over and mainly because don't know what the hell is going with this one anymore, Masamune-kun has an interesting story, the characters are well done, not in a perfect way of course but since is the typical Romantic/Comedy type and this is not my favorite genre decided to give it a try, the Plot is minimum, practically none ;D

Post by: doafan on March 31, 2017, 02:00:47 pm
Almost all the series that am currently watching are ending where I have to say that am kinda disappointed with some of these, for some reason got the feeling that if they wanted they could have done more, for example with Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 2 the only complain that I have with this one it's that it ended at the episode number ten but the good new is that we are going to have a third season, with Seiren dunno what the hell they where thinking cause they changed not only the story but also the waifu three damn times but am ok cause the ending was highly appreciated, the one that really deserves all my hate is Fukka the ending and the development of the latest episodes were pure crap, won't expect a second season cause the totally killed the story, for this one I started to read the manga and can only say that I missed TRUCK-SAN!!! anyway not everything was bad this season cause Masamune-kun no Revenge leaved a good impression and totally expect a second season also Akiba's Trip The Animation had thirteen episodes where haven't seen the latest episode, am leaving this one for this next Sunday, without a doubt my favorite Anime is Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon and really gonna miss this one, felt in love Tooru and Quetzalcoatl, the good thing is that for this one they will release seven specials ;D

Anything this season that looks real chill to watch? As much as I like my action anime, I usually like to have a chill anime to watch, such as Flying Witch or just kinda simple slice of life type shows. Slowly going through Terrace House on Netflix, a Japanese reality show where you see these young 20 somethings slowly having these very cutely awkward, innocent, and simple growing relationships with each other. Feels way more real than most American reality shows such as like a Real World or something like that lol

Man, the Attack on Titan intro this time is real spoilery, with stuff that I'm not even sure they'll get to by the time the second season is done, I mean I read ahead in the manga, so I know a good bit of what happens for awhile and I still didn't know this kind of stuff was coming. If you are trying to be as spoiler free as possible with this show, best to just minimize the window for the opening to listen to the good song and ignore what is playing, because I'm kinda surprised they revealed what they did which involves the Titans.

If am not wrong I saw the first ten episodes of Attack on Titan, the show was pretty good but right now dunno why the hell didn't saw the rest of the episodes, guess that if there is nothing good for me this season I'll continue with the first season so I can continue with the new one anyway yesterday started to read the manga Hajimete no Gal (https://myanimelist.net/manga/98938/Hajimete_no_Gal), am currently at chapter 12 and since there will be an anime adaption really want to know all of it before it's aired, as far as I know it will be released this summer and for some gifs that casually I found it seems that they are doing an outstanding job ;D

Have been watching the first episodes of at least six series from this season where two of them became immediately my favorites am talking about Re:Creators (https://myanimelist.net/anime/34561/Re_Creators) just because of Celestia Yupitilia (my new waifu), nah am kidding the Plot here is practically none but the story is quite interesting, won't gonna give any spoilers but the first two episodes were fun enough to make me decide to follow this one, the other Anime started to enjoy and that is currently at it's third episode is the second season of the all mighty Saitama, well a naughty one in the series Souryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni... (https://myanimelist.net/anime/34823/Souryo_to_Majiwaru_Shikiyoku_no_Yoru_ni) am very proud that managed to get the uncensored version with an awesome quality, about this can't share any Gifs cause is practically a Hentai novel ;D

Wasn't expecting to have many series to follow/enjoy this season but am glad that I was wrong, recently I started to watch another two series being the first Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul (https://myanimelist.net/anime/30736/Shingeki_no_Bahamut__Virgin_Soul) for this one did a a little search because a friend told me that this was released time ago and he wasn't wrong, previous and different versions of this Anime were released before but I didn't care and started to watch it, am glad of this cause Nina Drango is awesome, am currently at the episode three even when the four was released recently but have been kinda busy these days and really don't want to watch all of them in a row.
The other one is Dungeon ni Deai wo Motomeru no wa Machigatteiru Darou ka Gaiden: Sword Oratoria (https://myanimelist.net/anime/32887/Dungeon_ni_Deai_wo_Motomeru_no_wa_Machigatteiru_Darou_ka_Gaiden__Sword_Oratoria) being honest didn't saw the first season cause it didn't took my attention but this prequel for some unknown reason took it, so decided to give it a try and is not that bad, it seems that after this one ends I'll continue with the first season, the plot here is also minimum and the story even when most of the times I don't understand what the hell are they talking is pretty good, am in love with the animation and with the Hiryute twins, guess that don't need to say which one of the two is my favorite.

Kado: The Right Answer might definitely be the most interesting anime of the season. It starts similar to what you would get out of like The Day The Earth Stood Still or the more recent Arrival in terms of scifi, but introduces some cool concepts and I really wonder where it'll be taken to by the end. Also one of the better looking CGI shows of this style, I think mostly because it's not an action show, being all dialogue related.
Shinawa is great though. Her and the negotiators friend are sorta the more light hearted elements of the show.

These past week I added another two series to the list of those that started to watch from this season, being the first one Renai Boukun (https://myanimelist.net/anime/32262/Renai_Boukun) totally love the parody that they are doing with the Kiss Note, the story might be nonsense but gotta love the characters specially my beloved Akane Hiyama (https://myanimelist.net/character/87823/Akane_Hiyama), she has become my favorite Waifu not only form this season but for the whole year, am already at the episode seven were of course the beach episode was my favorite this far ;D
The other one is Granblue Fantasy The Animation (https://myanimelist.net/anime/31629/Granblue_Fantasy_The_Animation?q=Granblue-Fantasy-The-Animation) and damn I really love it , the animation, colors, characters, story the fight scenes are so well done, love everything from this one am currently at episode eight and really need to make some free time to watch the most recent episode, I heard that there will be a game for the PS4 and am thinking pretty seriously to purchase one just to play it, wouldn't mind if Nintendo decided to use Gran (https://myanimelist.net/character/143740/Gran) at their latest Super Smash Bros game 8)

Finally got Anime Strike on Amazon as I was tired of missing what seemed like the only good new shows this season and watched through what was available for Made in Abyss and I'm a couple episodes into Re: Creators.
Made in Abyss is great, it's a fantastic setting with a great and cute art style to it all. It's also a story with a dark tone to it, which kinda makes events contrast with that cute art and the fact that they involve kids.
RE:Creators is also good, reminded me of the Fate series abit, just with anime/game characters instead of historical figures. It's also more fun and kinda light-hearted than Fate, which is a more serious show, but I dig this one.
I think there's one or two other shows I wanted to watch on Anime Strike which are said to be good, such as Princess Principals and I think there was one more, but these two have been worth it so far.

lol Things just quieted down abit since last season as the only good stuff that was new was on Anime Strike and I only use Crunchyroll or Netflix. Other than that, I mostly have just been keeping up with Dragon Ball Super and My Hero Academia. Still need to finish Little Witch Academia on Netflix and you just reminded me that Re:Creators is a show from the previous season and I have 14 episodes to watch there lol

Wow, I finally watched some recent animes after like 8 months of nothing. I really been out of this loop. Just binge watched some of these for now - Gamers! - Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni [Already been reading the manga way before this came out] - Knight's & Magic [Already been reading the manga way before this came out] - Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e

Being honest I wasn't expecting to enjoy that many series this season, only wanted to follow Hajimete no Gal but am currently seeing seven from this season and three from the past one, take my advice and make yourself some free time to give it a try to Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e (https://myanimelist.net/anime/35507/Youkoso_Jitsuryoku_Shijou_Shugi_no_Kyoushitsu_e_TVl) and Kakegurui (https://myanimelist.net/anime/34933/Kakegurui), these two are my favorites right now 8)

Just as I did with One Punch Man I saved the last four episodes of Re: Creator for a special day and that day finally came, just saw the episode 22 a couple of minutes ago and almost cried when Yuuya Mirokuji and Shou Hakua said goodbye to Yatouji Ryou, these two badass really cared about his God/Creator and it seems at least for me that they saw him like a father anyway since Meteora wasn't able to return to her world just wonder if there is any chance even a little one that we can have a second season of this one :'(

Post by: kamikazekeeg on September 23, 2017, 04:48:22 pm
I'm good if there's no second season, because it basically ended everything pretty perfectly, though I'm sure they could always figure out a way to make another season work.
I also got around to watching Princess Principal since there aren't too many other shows to watch on Anime Strike and that's also a good one. The alternate history world is interesting, the steampunk designs are great, the main characters are cute and enjoyable with their own backstories that get explored abit...Still got 4 episodes to watch, but I was pretty into watching it the whole time.
Title: Re: Anime/Manga/Etc...
Post by: kamikazekeeg on October 01, 2017, 01:55:46 am
The Summer season is over and there were a few really good ones. Re:Creators was an interesting idea that turned out to be generally pretty enjoyable with some fun characters. It never really hit like Fate series level to me, which is what it kinda feels like, but still pretty good. This one had my favorite opening song too.
Princess Principal was better than I was exacting as the idea didn't seem special, but the art, setting, and characters made it worth it. No too mention some of the episodes went a few places that I wasn't quite expecting. It also had a really catching opening theme.
Made in Abyss might be my favorite. It's horrifically dark, made all the worse by this being children and it doesn't shy away from much of anything and I hear it's only going to get more intense based on the manga, which it's like "I want to watch, but someone please save these children!". Aside from the traumatic horror going on, the characters are cute, the animations is wonderful, and and I love the story going on. It's real hard to watch sometimes, but I really want to see where it goes.
That was about it for new anime. Didn't watch anything else really.
Next season looks like some good stuff though. Food Wars is back for a third season, Black Clover sounded like One Piece, but with wizards (Or I guess just most Shonen shows), Blood Blockade Battlefront is back for a second season and I hope there is a refresher as I don't remember how that show ended because I remember it being abit nuts, Dies Irae sounds like a possibly interesting idea, and there's a hot springs inn show called Konohana Kitan sounds like it could be dose of cute and chill I like to have every season if possible. Not a bad selection for the season.
Oh and Girls Last Tour is another coming and seems right up my alley, being a post-apocalyptic setting that's mostly just about two girls traveling around an empty Tokyo together. I'm not entirely sure what the show is about, but that setup is good for me.

I might be over simplifying the plot I read on it, but whenever it's like a kid determined to be the "King" (In this case, the Wizard King, who is apparently the top knight in the kingdom, I'm either thinking One Piece or Naruto lol

Starting into the Fall season of shows...Not sure if I'll get to Girls Last Tour as it's on Anime Strike and I don't plan to renew since that's the only show on there for the season that interested me. I do want to see that one though, the concept interested me.
Black Clover - Instant Fail. I have never hated a lead character so much so fast. Much as I was bringing up shonen shows this sounded like, the lead character is basically Luffy, Naruto, and Natsu, but all the bad parts of them, combined with what may be one of the single most aggravating voice actors I've heard in anime. He just yells 85% of his dialogue and it's piercing and painful. This show itself might have an okay premise, a generic one, but it's dead to me. The lead character has destroyed this show. An English dub would fix that awful voice, but it wouldn't fix this awful character.
Garo - Vanishing Line - I wanted to like this one more than I did. Premise is basic, seems to be a normal person with a mystery to solve gets caught up in this dark underworld of monsters, saved by the good tough guy, who is a part of a team hunting monsters. It's got good music, reasonably good animation, and the main character is your friendly, charismatic, but slightly sleazy, badass. It's negative is that the camera work they have going on makes a lot of the action incomprehensible. Lots of artificial camera shake and wonky edits, or just crazy camera work that takes what I can tell is good action, and makes it hard to follow. It's a shame, because there's a reasonable show here. I'll try and keep up with this one. Has a song from Jam Project for the OP, so that's also a plus. Need that camera work to get better.
Love is like a Cocktail - So I didn't know what this was exactly, but apparently it's a one of those super short shows and was only three minutes long and I didn't know this beforehand lol Basically it seems to be a show about this straight laced office chief who becomes a cute, goofball, when she drinks and the show features some specific drink in it...Yeah...It was a thing? A cute thing? It's a thing lol
Kino's Journey - This is a slightly odd one. I guess it's based off an older light novel that got an anime in the early 2000's and this is just a new adaptation on it. It's about a kid traveling through this fictional world on a talking motorcycle (Which is totally normal for the world) and it involves traveling to a new country (Countries seem to be quite small) with unique customs in each one. I feel like they want to say towns or villages more than countries... I think maybe every episode will sorta revolve around some sort of philosophical or moral concept, as this one was about a country that made murder legal. Sounds like it would be crazy, but it was actually very chill, almost slice of life like in tone as not a lot goes on, though it had a tiny dark bent to it in an interesting way. I kinda liked it though. I'm kinda curious where it may go, but not sure if I'll stick with it for long unless they bring more into the show.
Konohana Kitan - This was the last of the brand new shows I was gonna check out. Was looking at this one for my chill/cute show I tend to like having as something to wind down from most of the action heavy shows I watch and games I play, but...This wasn't bad, but it was a little fanservice'y and more goofy than I would like it to be. Story is basically about a young fox girl who comes to work with other fox girls at a traditional Japanese onsen, set in an old fantasy Japanese setting, but I feel like I wanted something a little more slice of life and less "Cute girls be cute"...Like Hanasaku Iroha was, where this kinda has that same concept, just more cutesy overall, and is less interesting because of it. I'll probably pass on this. I think my chill show will be Sakura Quest still, which I only watched the first 11 episodes of and it's up to 25 now.
Only thing left is Food Wars returning, which will be great. Oh and Blood Blockade Battlefront season 2, which looks like it starts today.

Have finally managed to completed those series that I was enjoying this season where now am expecting and really can't wait to see the second seasons of Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e and Kakegurui both were amazing and the end of their last episodes only leaved me with the impression that I haven't seen the best of them, from the rest of the Animes that I was following aka Hajimete no Gal, Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono Deshita, Netsuzou TRap, Re:Creators really don't expect anything well maybe with Isekai Shokudou (Restaurant to Another World) which by the way was if not an attempt of copying the idea/concept of Shokugeki no Souma it sure was a nice idea, really loved each one of the episodes and each one of the characters that made their appearance at this one ;)

After years of gradually picking up volumes here and there, I finally acquired all 37 volumes of this awesome series last weekend. on a side note I also picked up the remaining three volumes of Neon Genesis as well to complete that set, but I digress. I first starting reading Gantz back in 2010 and despite the series not being finished until 2013 and the final volume not being released in English until last year I believe. Because it was unfinished I was only able to read up until volume 23, and many of the later volumes I read on Manga scan websites with fan translations. Even though I have never finished the series, it is currently my favorite Manga series of all time. Now that I have all the volumes in their official translated releases I am reading the series from the beginning and plan on reading the whole series. I hope that it remains my favorite manga after I reread what I've read so far, plus the manga that I've never read.

It is! I am a big fan of action Manga because they often read fast and I really dig the style of most of them. Another series I love is Claymore. I need to finish that one as well since the last time I started reading it they were only up to volume 20 or so.

After I read this post. I went and blitz it the last two days. Now, I feel empty, mixed emotion, Shipped Reika, Sad, bothered by some of the plot holes and wasted arc potential (vampire one), very much enjoyed it, RIP reika, Lack of Grammar in my part, I glad the author killed both Reika and Clone Kei rather than keeping one of them alive [I hate when some story do that], Tae cool and all but only existed for the sake of plot Armour for Kei, Happy for Kato & Anzu, Felt bad during god scene when they revived kei preivous lovers [Sorry Laura Croft], TFW a good manga ends and you question life "why god", emotional rollercoaster, fuck Izumi [what a douche] & Fuck Natsu [slime]. I'll end my babbling for now. Reika was true BAE.
Time to go watch the ANIME, which I doubt covers all the manga.

Finally got around to watching "Your Name." and it's a pretty sweet and beautiful film. It didn't blow me away like it did for others, perhaps the hype levels were too much from what I've heard since it was in theaters, but I really did enjoy it. It's so wonderfully animated, with the music mixing really well with what's going on and a story that had just enough of an engaging element to surprise me.

I watched a few last season and not sure what I'm watching this season. I'm catching up on Girls Last Tour, which was Anime Strike exclusive on Amazon Prime (They just shutdown Anime Strike and moved it into Prime itself, so no more extra costs just to watch anime, so I highly recommend Made in Abyss, RE: Creators, and so far Girls Last Tour is cute with an interesting setting and tone). Kinda waiting to see impressions on stuff to find out what to watch so far as I've only watched one new show this season so far, though the main shows haven't started yet.

Post by: kamikazekeeg on January 10, 2018, 03:52:46 am
With Anime Strike gone, figured I'd take advantage of that with my Prime membership and decided to binge through Inuyashiki. It's a harsh and intense show, which makes sense coming from the guy who did Gantz. It's less about visceral gore, but real feeling brutality, putting aside what the two main characters are. It's pretty dark, but mostly balanced by the joy coming from Inuyashiki and his actions. So it's extreme dark and extreme good. It's a rough watch for me as I'm not overly into dark stuff, like violence isn't an issue usually, I can watch Berserk or Hellsing just fine, but like body horror and purposefully realistic violence can be unsettling, but this show is interesting and really well done. Don't think I particularly love the ending, but overall I'm fine with it.

Yeah I wanted to watch it, but Netflix are being shits and have decided to delay releasing it regularly, only in North America, so that we can binge it down the road. Nice of them to make that decision for us, so now I'm missing an entire show this season. I could illegally stream it, I still might, but for now, I at least have more than enough to watch, so it's not a huge problem. Funnily enough, the most entertaining show this season to me is Killing Bites. It's trashy garbage, but it's entertaining trashy garbage lol

Anyone who's familiar with the series have any thoughts?

I think the manga is overall good and adds abit more to the show that got overlooked so they can make the show work. I ended up downloading a bunch back when the first big game came out, because I wanted more story. Either way, that's a great price for all that manga as manga isn't particularly cheap and you get like 50 volumes for only something like 20 bucks.

Yeah, I watched a few episodes of the anime up until the same part at where I stopped in the manga (approximately the first season, I think), and I agree that the manga gets some more of the good details that get glossed over in the anime. Also a bit more gruesome, too, which I admittedly kinda appreciate!
Thanks, all. I'll probably end up picking it up so that it's on hand when I get the urge to read manga again.

Didn't expect to have many series to watch this season but found another two more, am talking about Darling in the FranXX and 25-sai no Jyoshikousei, it's very hard to make some free time to watch all of them, with the work, social life, family, games, comics and all the usual stuff am glad that I still continue with this hobbie 8)

Kinda feel bad for seeing this thread so lonely plus the fact that I was the last one who posted here makes me more sad, haven't forgot to watch Anime these past days or should I say months, started to follow at least eight series but being honest completed two of them first, started with Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tsueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru (https://myanimelist.net/anime/38659/Shinchou_Yuusha__Kono_Yuusha_ga_Ore_Tueee_Kuse_ni_Shinchou_Sugiru) where a lot of people said that they were so lazy with the draws/animations but honestly I didn't mind if this is true or not cause really loved the story, the useless goddess with reminded me a lot to my beloved Aqua but in a blonde version and of course the badass hero that they gave us, cant't say to much cause don't want to give any spoiler.
The other one was Enen no Shouboutai (https://myanimelist.net/anime/38671/Enen_no_Shouboutai) managed to get to this Anime for a gif that I saw at the comment section of one post at 9GAG (love to waste my time at that page), asked for the name and that was all I needed to felt in love with it, started a little late, when I saw the first episode already 13 of them were released and after that I was always expecting the next one, everything in this one is perfect, gotta love all the characters even the anoying ones, damn it I even loved the opening songs which by the way I got as my ringtone, saw the 24th episodes and can't wait to see the second season, I'll start reading the manga just to see which parts were removed and didn't appear at the Anime cause they always do this.

I haven't been watching as much anime lately, though I got back to watching My Hero Academia and Dr. Stone and I still casually watch One Piece which is in a pretty great arc right now. Really needed this arc after what I thought was a pretty bad arc with Big Mom. Also need to get back to watching Dragon Ball GT, but these early episodes are terrible lol And I got Claymore on Bluray for Christmas, so I'll gonna watch that through as I haven't seen it in years.

It blows me away how popular Manga has become. My wife and I have been huge manga collectors and readers since the 2000s, but after taking a bit of a break from it or a few years we got really into it again this past summer. Literally everytime we'd check out the manga section at our local Barnes and Noble stores or any place that had a manga section there would always be a ton of people around it checking out the selection. Compare this to 4 or 5 years ago when the manga section at any given store had been gradually shrinking since the early 2010s and you'd be lucky to see anyone else head on over to it while you were browsing. I've specifically noticed a lot of younger zoomer girls being into manga, including quite a few that I'd never took for manga/anime fans if I'd seen them anywhere else. Makes me wonder why it became so popular amongst that demographic.
Another thing that blows me away is how valuable certain out of print manga has become. Up until recently I've never known manga to be super collectable; more or less any manga series I'd ever wanted to read, whether in print or now was always pretty affordable and never more than cover price per volume. In fact, most of the manga that my wife and I own was bought at various used book stores for a quarter of cover price or less. However, we were looking at what some of the series we own go for now and it's insane! Probably the craziest being Gantz which might be my favorite manga series; full sets are going for as much as $2000 right now. Fortunately I own the entire series, but jesus I'd never guessed this would happen! Similarly, Battle Royale, Nura, Flowers of Evil, and other series I've been into for a while that are no longer in print have mooned like crazy. Sadly, there are a few series I really regret not scooping up back in the day like the aforementioned Battle Royale. I've read most of it either through a few volumes that I do own as well as manga reading sites, but about 10 years ago I a small book store my wife and I used to visit had the whole series used and if I'm remembering right I could have had the whole series for no more than $60. I stupidly passed and now it's going for $400+ for the whole series.
But yeah, just thought I'd comment on how crazy the manga scene has become and how it really seems to be popular with younger people today (god, saying that makes me feel old lol).

Manga was never something I got into for whatever reason. I think because back in the day, it was really hard for me to find them, no one locally had them and buying online wasn't the cheapest. I think because of that, I just haven't felt the need to get into manga. Plus generally I'm into anime more, because I want these stories in all their visual glory, so give me the colors, the voice acting, the crazy action or intense drama. Not that manga can't be good, some of the art I've seen is amazing (I think Berserk would be one I'd get into purely on art alone) and I know that there are anime's that kinda botched things (Promised Neverland being one I know of), but anime just has the best draw and ease of access.
And like you said, there's a lot of manga that has gone up in price, making some series harder to get into, but manga is pricey in general as some series can have so many volumes. Like I brought up Berserk before, but getting into that, it would cost me nearly 50 bucks per every deluxe volume, and there's 9 of them currently, and that's not even all of the currently available regular volumes.

Kind of like with movies or TV shows based on book where the book is almost always better, the manga is almost always better than the anime. In fact, some of the better anime out there isn't based on a manga at all. That's not to say the anime based on manga are all bad, but just that the manga is typically better. It's way easier for me to get motivated to read a manga series and continue to read it more than it is for me to get through some anime series I've watched in recent years. But as you said, the value of some of these manga is ridiculous, especially if its a more well known series that's out of print. But, I'd definitely pick up a manga series based on an anime you like and see if your preference swings one way or another. It certainly does for me in favor of the manga 95% of the time.

Pacing's definitely the biggest reason as you can tell when the anime's too caught up with the manga, like with Namek's "5-minute" destruction, how the last third of Naruto is 90% filler, or how One Piece can turn into 50% recap per episode (Dressrossa). Or if they don't have enough episodes and have to cut things out, like how Promised Neverland removed the Goldy Pond arc and most of the characters involved. Sometimes the manga itself can seem a bit poor-paced too, but in most cases, that's caused by being fully caught up and reading only 1 chapter a week/month rather than the volume as a whole (or if the series is getting the axe, so the author needs to wrap up as much as possible to get some semblance of an ending).
I will say, manga's my current collecting focus right now since my desire to collect some of my other things, like video games has diminished (mainly a combo of having most everything I want from the past couple generations, a small trickle of new releases I'm interested in, & having the digital-only Series S). So, I've been picking up a handful of books each paycheck. Right now, I'm getting a lot of 1st volumes of newly-published series that I discovered online from fan scanlations, like Happy Kanako's Killer Life or The World of Otome Games is Tough for Mobs, as I know I already like them and it lets me support the authors. Besides that, I am keeping pace with a few series's releases (Beastars, Dr. Stone, the Fullmetal editions of Fullmetal Alchemist), and getting caught up/completing other series I've let stay fallow for a while (Promised Neverland, Rise of the Shield Hero, Rurouni Kenshin).
All of that has accumulated to this wonderful wall of weeb: (https://i.imgur.com/h9KlTtx.jpg?1)
