[Warpticon]

Haha, CC and her pizza.

Also the return of Bizarro Urd.

[Stabby]

You guys talking about harem stuff?

Only good harem anime are Higurashi and Elfen Lied.

[Hoonyo]

I was wondering if anybody else was watching this. Though I'm kinda hopping back and forth between teh anime and the drama.Would you say one is better than the other?

[Spirit Juice]

The drama has some absolutely hilarious special effects, I can say that much. :lol:

No problem. :cool:

[Aion]

There are only two episodes out for Getsumento Heiki Mina right?

And Ikki Tousen Dragon destiny is finally out, but I'm abit late on that =( They took out some of my fav characters though =/

[Master Chibi]

Clamp is indeed a team of four female artists.

Also Higurashi and Elfien Lied are not harem anime by any stretch of the imagination.

Has ANYONE else here watched Maria ga sama - Miteru?

I swear to god I'm so fucking gay for that show it's not funny.

[Makoto Scrub]

I have. Seen the first two seasons. That show is pretty....... pretty.:sweat:

Edit: Now that I think about it, that show is perfect for you Chibi. :lol:

[Warpticon]

I may have to watch it now.

Being home sick and iserable = anime marathon. I watched all 13 episodes of Zero no Tsukaima yesterday, and I'm up to ep. 20 of Busou Renkin (Not as good as I expected, but interesting enough to keep watching). I may catch up on a couple of shows I've kind of forgotten about tonight--Nodame Cantabile (both versions) and Red Garden.

[Zazzarius]

I have. Seen the first two seasons. That show is pretty....... pretty.:sweat:

Edit: Now that I think about it, that show is perfect for you Chibi. :lol:

what tipped you off? :wink:

[shrimpnoodles]

hey. looking for really good anime to watch. mostly comedy genre but action and everything else is good. just nothing sad, depressing or too dramatic. haven't watch anything in a long time. I need suggestions so I can download it. if you could be so kind as to give me some titles.

now before you go flaming me "search noob" or something like that I did, but search function but fail, since, if you think about it, (typing: best anime to watch) can come out with sooo many threads and I really don't feel like wasting my time to read through everything to get a few titles (not when I can be watching them.)

thanks everyone whether you help or not.

ps. you don't need to mention naruto and bleach.

[Master Chibi]

I have. Seen the first two seasons. That show is pretty....... pretty.:sweat:

D:

I just started it, being a pretty big fan of shoujo-ai (het romance is boring as hell) I'm liking it so far.

[Master Chibi]

Het romance is boring as hell when done wrong / dragged out beyond fuck.

I just fucking love all the god damn characters in MGSM so god damn much.

Like it's not even about the light yuri (really light actually), I just fucking love the characters.

And there are like no fucking figures for this show at all.

But I dont think I've seen teh OVA's or the specials for them. But that show just has something about it.

How are Higurashi and Elfen Lied not harem anime?




"The prototypical harem anime features a number of characters, usually with a minimum of one boy and three girls whose personalities are often stock characters popular in moé fandom. The term does not necessarily imply sexual connotations. Most members of the "harem" have some level of emotional attachment to the lead, ranging from romantic interest to casual friend to a sibling figure. And Chibi has no idea what he is talking about.

Just because they are good series doesn't exclude them from being harem shows.

[Master Chibi]

It's because either show is good that I didn't label them as harem.

To me harem (shows) has a negative connotation to it, and I wouldn't use it to describe either show (even though Higurashi itself came from an H-game), but if you want to be completely technical about the matter, yeah you could label both shows as harem.

Like Ai Yori Aoshi is harem. Dual! is harem. Chobits is harem. And all three of those shows suck ass.

;p

[DeathScythe]

What's up with the current state of Lupin and Geneon? All we got was the second TV series and a few movies from them. Funimation put out the TV specials and other movies.

It'd be nice to get the first TV series. I heard it was pretty good and I saw like, 4 minutes of it and it looked good.

How are Higurashi and Elfen Lied not harem anime?





Just because they are good series doesn't exclude them from being harem shows.

The wikipedia statement, states what features harem animes have, but it doesn't mean that all animes that have those features are harem animes. The converse is not true.

[Spirit Juice]

How are Higurashi and Elfen Lied not harem anime?

Just because they are good series doesn't exclude them from being harem shows.

A harem show is usually classified as some sort of romance sub-genre. Typically they're romantic comedies, but sometimes they have mild drama thrown in (lol, shuffle) or ASSLOADS of drama thrown in (Kimi ga Nozomu Eien). While the male leads in both Elfen Lied and Higurashi have "love interests" and many of the support characters are girls, it's hardly the main focus of the show or to the point where it actually becomes a romance anime. Graphic violence, intense drama, and disturbing stories/images/plots are all the last things you'd EVER see in a harem romance anime.

Speaking of "harem" anime, I finished watching Kanon a few days ago. Oh man... :sad: to the max, but I loved the series as a whole. The ending was wonderful, and now I see what the whole hoopla about Kanon is about. The story was great, the characters are deep and superb in their own way (even if Makoto was annoying as hell... the last two episodes about her choked me up a bit), and the animation was top notch. I'm just glad it ended happily, unlike AIR which left me feeling quite sad (though not as depressed as Narcissu... that damn novel left me depressed for DAYS).

Of all the Kanon girls, Mai was by far my favorite. Her character design was freakin' awesome, and hearing her say "honey bear", "chubby racoon", and "Doggie. Woof." was probably the most MOE thing I've ever seen... EVER. Her story was by far the most intriguing for me... even if everything pretty much tied together with Yuuichi and Ayu's relation... UGUU~

...course I'm probably the only person here who watched Kanon... or admitted to it. ^_^;

[Master Chibi]

Nah, I watched all of Kanon as well.

And if I'm not mistaken it's not what actually happens in the game either.

I loved the series, and I'm really happy for the ending we got, but it's like 23 episodes of pain and suffering and great drama and then *~POOF~* all better yo.

And I enjoyed all the gals, but Ayu was my favorite for certain.

:3

[Spirit Juice]

And I enjoyed all the gals, but Ayu was my favorite for certain.

:3

THAT'S BECAUSE YOU LOVE TEH LOLI

[Master Chibi]

I just really liked her realtionship with Yuuichi near the end is all.

An actual 'couple' in the show as enough to get right at me.

;p

[Warpticon]

I <3 Mai. Maybe that's because she's all Moriya in EFZ, which was my first ever encounter with her, or maybe it's because...well, she's Mai. I dunno. I just know I <3 Mai.

Just watched Black Blood Brothers. LOVED it. <3 Mimiko sooo much. I have to many fictional pseudo-crushes now.

[Stabby]

While the male leads in both Elfen Lied and Higurashi have "love interests" and many of the support characters are girls, it's hardly the main focus of the show or to the point where it actually becomes a romance anime. Graphic violence, intense drama, and disturbing stories/images/plots are all the last things you'd EVER see in a harem romance anime.

Were... were we watching the same series? Elfen Lied was entirely about that main dude's relationship with the girls. He even had like 3 more girls in the manga. All the shit about the vectors was just to explain why people were getting torn up.

Higurashi? All about the relationships between Keichi and those crazy girls.

Dude living in a house with a bunch of girls that want him to bone them, but he doesn't for some reason = harem anime

Show were the dude has different ending scenarios with the females = harem anime

[Spirit Juice]

Haha. Right. Harem anime with graphic violence and gore. That's like saying a random horror flick that has a random sex scene for god knows what reason is a romance movie, not a horror movie. Right.

[Master Chibi]

Your avatar looks a butt SJuice, not a nice set of bubz.

[Mizuki]

Spirit Juice, where do you get the images for your avs?

[Zazzarius]

Spirit Juice, where do you get the images for your avs?

that looks like Rangiku from the Bleach anime to me

can recognize those tits anywhere

[Spirit Juice]

My general "censored" avs are from hentai game CG sets. Most of them are from Fate/Stay Night.

As for my av, it is Rangiku's tits from Bleach. I wanted to animate it with the sparkles all sparkling and such, but there's a slight pan up which makes it difficult to center the image on her huge bubz. In other words, not worth it. There's another shot I had in mind of animating, but I've been lazy and haven't got around to it yet.

i'd change my av to bigger bubz, but i don't have prem any more and i like my hueg av size

oh well, the newest busou renkin was neato. pappi was certainly feeling unfabulous at the end there.

I love how I keep an av for a year+, and then change about once a week now. :lol:

I've seen the whole thing. Its alright lovely animation but I didn't really like the story that much. I would give it 7/10.

Nah, I've mentioned it a few times in this thread, earlier when it was still airing, but almost nobody else was talking about it then either. It's a comfortable show to watch; one of the few I can marathon without getting bored of. Of course, as a student in an animation department, the supreme quality and attention to detail in this show plays a large part in that, too.

As for favorites, I like 'em all. Mai probably a little bit further out in front than the others, with Akiko close behind. But it depends on which arc I'm watching at the moment.

[UncleBuck]

Master Chibi: I've watched up to episode 118 of Bleach and would like to read the manga starting around there. Would you happen to know what chapter that is? Thx.

Read the manga. This isn't just some manga elitist speak, either. That slide show at the end of the anime? That's an entire volume of the manga. I fucking HATED that about the anime. If that was how they were going to end it, it should have stopped at 25 episodes. Also, the manga is still ongoing. It's currently several years after the end of the anime.

I saw that box at work and it is sweet. Have you seen the Haruhi LE with all the extras? Too bad we gotta wait two months :p

Also, bubz bubz bubz.

The only thing is.... the manga just isn't complete without the MUSIC! Man, a manga about a band just leaves something to be desired without the capacity for sound, ya know? No matter what, the anime is my favorite with Beck.

And I finally watched Chobits. Damn, that was great.

Is Haruhi still not fully released over here? I watched that last year.... damn....

Coyote Ragtime Show was pretty good. The ending was a little abrupt, but the series overall was a nice change. The pacing was fast enough to keep you excited the whole time, yet left enough room to push the story in. Kinda reminded me of Ocean's 11, if you know what I mean.

[Warpticon]

Damn, it's hard to keep up with everything I'm watching:

Currently following/watching (anime/drama):

Busou Renkin
Naruto ShipCpuden
Bleach
Red Garden (finally...again)
Death Note
Code Geass
Legend of the Galactic Heroes (can we please get less month long gaps, Central Anime? The chinese/english subbed ones i have are crappy, and I want to finish this amazing series.)
One Piece
Sumomomo Momomo
Nodame Cantabile
Nodame Cantabile (drama)
Gokusen 2 (Drama)
Kimi wa Petto (Drama)
Beautiful Life (Drama)

I keep forgetting to finish drama I'm watching.

About to start/resume:
Twin Spica
Kanon (new)
Nana (it's been so long now since I read the manga and ruined my desire to keep up with the anime that it's probably all fresh to me again. Plus Nana is awesome.)
Twin Spica
Play Ball (cute baseball anime that I had completely forgotten about but need to pick back up, because I enjoyed it.)
Yakitate!! Japan (the old manga conflict thing again)

The only thing is.... the manga just isn't complete without the MUSIC! Man, a manga about a band just leaves something to be desired without the capacity for sound, ya know? No matter what, the anime is my favorite with Beck.

Which is great, except for the fact that the anime is two years over, and the manga is still going. If not for that, I'd be right with you.

Incidentally, that's another reason I should be watching Nana. Nana is essentially shoujo friendship drama + Beck. (It's awesome.) It has to be that much better in anime form.

Expect to see me ranting about Nana a lot in the coming month or so.

Because there is so much of it,Japan would have to have as many channels as American T.V. to cover all of it.

What's with this Code Geass anime?

Honestly how good is it? I'm usually one to believe the hype and this one seems hyped like no anime since Evangelion.

According to this one site it has a 9.9 out of 10 rating. At another site where I can get it it is the most discussed anime on the site.

This shit came out last year so obviously it hasn't been distributed so should I reserve precious gig space on my computer and snatch it?

[Zazzarius]

its good, but it isn't quite like other mecha shows

when its good, its EPIC, when it fails, it FAILS HARD

but i'm awaiting the next episode quite intently, so i say try it out.

[Master Chibi]

it hasn't failed yet

and its the only damn thing worth watching right now~

[orka]

the only things i like code geass for... really... are millay and viletta's bubz. D:

then again, i usually hate mech anime in general so it figures. also, the guys in it are way too flamboyant.

i wear pink shirts, yet still feel this way so that probably means something.

[Master Chibi]

but theshow is so good

really gud actually

its fantastic

the best

i love it

and you should too

euphinator~

[Spirit Juice]

I semi-spoiled myself by visiting image boards and saw the big episode 22 spoiler for Code Geass. Interested to see how it all plays out once I watch episode 22. @_@

Also, don't bother watching Mai-Otome. HiME was a million times better than that garbage.

lol @ MC's av

[Master Chibi]

That's why I don't hit up 4chan / iichan / etc as much anymore, they will spoil the shit out of EVERYTHING. I ain't having that~

EUPHINATORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[Zazzarius]

it hasn't failed yet

and its the only damn thing worth watching right now~

there are some aspects i like and don't like about the show, but i'll wait for the end of this season before making a final judgment

[GunflameBuri]

Man I don't understand why everyone keeps saying that shit, every damn chick I've had in my avatar isn't in fucking pre-school or some shit, leave that to fucking Gunflame Buri.

HEY DONT HATE ON DELICIOUS FLAT CHEST OKAY.

Thats all I have to say in this thread atm.

[Mizuki]

Uhmmmm Lolis are mine.

[Warpticon]

Hype? Who gives a fuck about hype? I started watching Geass because of a screenshot, liked it okay (enough to stay on it) for a couple episodes, then started really getting drawn in about 6 eps in. I'm not much into mecha shows at all, but this is a mech show that doesn't really feel mechy. Think more Escaflowne than Gundam or whatever. No, it's not perfect. It has some annoying typicalities to it, but then it goes out and just...man, 22. I did predict that it would be slow for a few episodes, and then get really crazy around the late teens-early twenties...I don't think I've ever been so right about anything ever.

[GunflameBuri]

Wheres the location of lolidansenstreet you child molester :V.

Also, why does that chick in Chibi's ava look hawt, despite being on screen for only like a second.

[Stabby]

I can't watch some shit designed by CLAMP and named Gayass

Kenichi is so bad I'm loving it

But I'm missing Ueki so much. I hope Law of Ueki + gets turned into an anime too, but that won't be for so long even if it does happen.

Also-- I miss you, HxH.

Anyone know how many episodes are on each fate/stay night dvd?

adding to the HxH...uhhh...stuff. One of the rumors going around is the manga-ka was having and outs with the editor of Shounen Jump due to some changes he wants to make to the story. Rumour is he *might* go to Young or Ultra Jump.

Who knows, I'll fully understand Japanese by the time the series ever finishes so I'm in no rush for it....

Would you guys think Blade of the Immortal would be a good Manga to Anime conversion? It remains my favorite Manga, and would like to see more of it, I just don't know if it would do well in full animation/color.

Bleach and Naruto seem fine long as they're follow the Manga's actual story. So I guess that's evidence they can do it without slaughtering the style of it.

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe if it was done as an OVA.....maaaybe.


The manga-ka has stated he wouldn't mind it as long as it was as detailed as his manga.

When something like a manga becomes animated it can loose a HUGE amount of detail in both art and story. Examples being (but not limited to) Crying Freeman, Mad Bull 34 and Tough.

Death Note 24 was some serious shit. This series is supposed to have 37 episodes, right?

don't lie to the poor guy. Destiny is awful.

it starts out nice enough then THE FAIL keeps piling on until episode 39 when *surprise* Strike Freedom shows up and logic goes totally out the window. Also Lacus' evidence of Gil being evil was his old college notebook scribbles. WTF?

And they murdered Cagalli's character. Where's the angry hellcat from SEED I liked so much? God she sucked in Destiny the most.

[Dasrik]

Well, the biggest problem with Destiny is that the characterization is almost random. The guy I liked the most turned out to be the bad guy and there wasn't much of a hint of this until later on when they hit you over the head with a blunt "HEY HES EVIL" instrument.

Tack that on with what Zazz said, random resurrection of Mwu la Fllaga, Kira being the resurrection of Heero Yuy, a main protagonist who doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, and real painful "People die if they are killed" monologues and you have one crappy piece of shit.

<3 Wiki.

If you're familiar with Tsukihime, it's pretty much a story that's somewhat of a precursor to the events in Tsukihime. In other words, it's more fucking awesome stuff by Type-Moon and will surely be made of win. While Tsukihime was a blunder on their part, my faith in TM was redeemed with Fate/Stay Night.

The only thing I can hope for now is a mother fucking Melty Blood TV series. I must see my delicious Sion-chan beautifully animated in all her awesome glory.

Also, warpticon mentions a drama version. where can I find this? Gyabo!

no, wait, I just found a torrent of the whole series on tokyo toshokan, so there you go. Most of the first four episodes happen in the first drama episode, though some stuff is left out. EDIT: and by left out, I mean hasn't happened yet through 1.3 episodes, but probably will. (Actually, the attention battle looks like it may be skipped, which is not much of a loss.)

Don't know if it's ever been mentioned in this thread(due to it being over 150 pages of whatever the hell you talk about in here), but to all looking for a good down to earth manga, Genshiken is the way to go. I seriously forgot about this book up until I went to BnN on tuesday, which happened to be the release date of the 8th book. Its probably my favorite manga of all time, and I've read a bunch. It's extremely funny, and pokes fun at the lives of a group of otaku, rather they be drawing porn or trying to find a job.

You could find it on gotlurk.net if you wanna download it, but I'm pretty sure you guys already know that site, being that this is "that" type of topic.

Also, I am rewatching the entire Tenchi series(minus Tokyo) for the 4th time now. That is seriously one, if not the best anime I've ever seen. Ever.

edit: After searching the thread, I kinda noticed that Genshiken has come up quite a few times in a couple of conversations. But it seems as though everyone is talking aobut the anime, and not the book, so got out and read that manga pliz.

I'm a big fan of the manga, but due to a few things that the actual translator doesn't know about, his anime/manga translation references are off (don't even get me started on the fighting game stuff in one of the volume's extras...) Apparently the last manga volume will be volume 9, I'm looking forward to it.

yeah, dramas are live action. there are several manga/anime series that got drama interpretations, with varying degrees of success. GTO is perhaps the most well known, and my favorite incarnation of the series, despite the stuff that gets switched around and that never gets gotten to. Ace No Nerae, Kimi Wa Petto, Gokusen, Hana Yori Dango, and more that i can't think of offhand exist.

nice anything special with it besides the box?

no, but the box is awesome!!

you just have to see it for yourself. the panoramic window on the side... the top loading lid... patterned interior... everything about it is so nicely detailed. i own around 90 anime dvd's, but i can say without doubt that this is the nicest box i own out of all of them right now.

now i'm actually even glad that bandai usa released such a shitty box with the first dvd, because this replacement we get with volume seven is just way beyond the quality of typical collector's boxes.

o yea, and it turned out that there was a director's cut of episode 26. i've never seen that version before so that was nice.

Your Best Buy be breakin' street dates.

Lol, its anime so no one cares.

Junk?! <3

sheraz, you should get it too. use them sweet employee discounts, lol.

Currently watching Part I of the Mobile Suit Gundam Compilation Movies (Heirs To The Stars). I've never seen Zeta Gundam originally, so all of thsi is new to me. Its quite fucking badass as of now.

Avatar related.

it's actually a remake trilogy. the second one (lovers) might make you go "wtf :arazz: :arazz:" though...

but if you haven't watched the original, you will probably end up enjoying all of them.


also... on a related note:

"lovers" trailer (http://youtube.com/watch?v=CG51nY65A08)
"lovers" mai-otome parody (http://youtube.com/watch?v=SMhHfR2p8vc)
"lovers" nanoha parody (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ja1q0LRiAhk)

[Shade]

It's a compilation, with new material/scenes added/sprinkled around, plus digitally remastered footage, etc. I mean, you cant tell? =P

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeta_Gundam - Scroll down.

And muchos gracias for the links to them parodies. I'll take a look at them after I finish Heirs.

[Spirit Juice]

i can only find the first 2 episodes of the nodame drama subbed in english. everything else is chinese and I even found a finnish sub. the torrnt with the entire series seems to have vanished.

but nodame 11 is out, and I liked it. I wonder whats gonna happen now with saiko and nodame.

Baka-updates and Tokyotosho are good torrent sites for anime downloads. Right now Froth-Bite is up to episode 11 for Nodame.

[Master Chibi]

No no, I think they're talking about the LIVE drama for Nodame.

;p

[Hyperhal]

Does anyone have any new information the new Eva movies coming out? I remember reading some of the script somewhere, and how it mentioned three movies being made? That was like 2 months ago, and I haven't heard anything since. The movie was supposedly coming out this year, ala LotR style.

[Spirit Juice]

No no, I think they're talking about the LIVE drama for Nodame.

well, it technically is a compilation since it does reuse a lot of old clips. but it is also a remake since the movies redefine and reinterpret specific phase of the original series.

so that is what i was kind of referring when i called "lovers" a full of wtf :arazz: :arazz: in my previous post. i'm not going to spoil, but for some people (like me) lovers was kind of disappointing because it bent camille and fau's romance in a really weird way. it made a lot of fangirls happy, though.

[Mr. Bastos]

yeah i was talking about the live action. I just got to episode 11 with the anime, Thanks though

I managed to get the first 2 episodes of the drama, but thats it.

[Warpticon]

Currently on ep 10 out of 11 of Nodame Cantabile: I'll finish it in the next two hours. Been watching nonstop since I started last night.

[Mr. Bastos]

I just started watchin the drama, and its pretty good so far. too bad i dont have enough time to finish the first episode before i need to get ready for work.

4 movies, first to come out September 1, 2007. The last two are being released together next summer. Movie 4 is an alternate ending, while the other 3 are a loose retelling of the TV series.

don't ruin zeta for yourself watch the tv series first not the crappy movies.

[Shade]

From what I've seen thus far (maybe halfway through Part II now), its pretty freaking awesome. Whats "crappy" about them, may I ask? I mean, I havnt spoken to a single soul who didnt like them, yet. Plus, how could a digitaly remastered + new footage + new sound and music of an already classic series = crappy?

I see you're a SEED fan though, =P.

[Warpticon]

Finished it, and it was great. And it's going to be hard to get me to follow the anme now, seeing as episode 11 of anime happens in episode 5 of the drama.

It's a nana situation all over again.

[GreyFoxx]

Just curious is Fate/Stay night something i should take a peek into? Anyone going too ACEN in IL?

[J4YX2]

I just finished watching Amaenaideyo!! Katsu!! freaking hilarious.

[Spirit Juice]

Orka, take pictures of your shiney new Mai-Hime box and post them. I wanna see~ ^___^

[Dasrik]

Just curious is Fate/Stay night something i should take a peek into? Anyone going too ACEN in IL?
Considering it's the source of the infamous "People die if they are killed" line, my advice would be don't.

[Hyperhal]

Rofl, I remember watching Amaenaideyo. That anime was okay with fanservice until it got to the later episodes, when everyone started getting naked everywhere. Why do all animes follow that path >_>?

Also, has anyone seen This ugly yet Beautiful World? I kinda got to the 9th episode and lost it somewhere on youtube. It was a pretty average series, although there have been people that have told me the anime was genius. Anybody know why?

Oh SNAPS, I just remembered something. If you haven't seen Iketeru Futari, see it now. It's hands down the best anime I've ever watched(although there are 13 eps and each is 5 minutes long). God, I discovered that anime three years ago and I STILL watch that ish daily and crack up at every joke. The manga is just as good, possibly better, so get out there and GET BOTH.

[kz0060]

i'll try to borrow a digicam and get it up tomorrow or the day after.

seriously... you should get the box too. if you don't own any of the other dvd's, just buy 'em later. it's that sweet.

[Spirit Juice]

I'll think about it. I absolutely loved Mai-Hime, so I'll pick it up if it's awesome enough. :)

[dialupsucky]

fate stay night whatecr the fuck it is is horrible. dont watch it doesnt even make sence. dont give the creator of that any more satisfacvtiions. hes already fooled enough idiots somehow dont be anoter one.

[Master Chibi]

shut the hell up clayton, it's worth watching in every sense of the word.

damn.

[dialupsucky]

tats why when i btrought up all those plot holes just off the top of my head a coiuplke months ago u had nothing to combat it with eh?


the show is horrible. but i guess if u like stories that disregard earlier "rules" in the story just so the main characters can have sex for no reason its obvious theres no use argueing.

[Master Chibi]

You fuckin hold ikkitousen on a higher pedestal then the show it completely ripped shit from man and F/SN, there was no point in arguing.

:\

[dialupsucky]

i dun remeber ever saying ikkitousen was better then tenjou tenge or asnything to that extent ebver,

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. Dark. Mysterious. Fucked up beyond all imagination. Watch it now.

[Wellman]

Picked up the complete Giant Robo series for $20.

Five episodes in. Damn I am sadden that no one got me for not picking this series up before. I'm LOVING it, almost more than the woman I wish I was with right now.

The only real giant robot stuff I had seen before was Gigantor and Big O, but the story is very good and more importantly the characters all kick ass.

[Emil]

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. Dark. Mysterious. Fucked up beyond all imagination. Watch it now.

Oh yeah, I got this one too. It definitely did give me the wrong idea at first, with it's cutesy art. I guess I will finish this one.

[Spirit Juice]

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

SERIOUSLY. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN THIS SHOW ANYMORE. I'M ALMOST FUCKING SPEACHLESS.

Episode 22 I knew what the big spoiler was, given that image boards spoiled Euphie's killing spree of Japanese, but I never expected Lelouch's Geass to never turn off this early in the series. Of course it had to be at the worst time possible, accidentally ordering Euphie to kill all the Japanese. What shocked me even more was when Lelouch ordered the Black Knights to kill Euphemia, despite that it pained him to kill his own sister.

What I find amazing is Lelouch's resolve to see everything through for the sake of Nunnally. A shit ton of stuff hasn't exactly gone according to plan, including losing Shirley as his friend, realizing Suzaku is Lancelot's pilot, and having to kill Euphie. At the end of episode 23, it's clear that he's willing to sacrafice everything for Nunnally, even killing Suzaku in order to get what he wants. There's a fine line between genius and insanity... and Lelouch definitely walks on that line... almost proudly.

Episode 23 fucking blew my mind. Now, I wasn't 100 percent shocked that Euphie died, killed by Zero, but I wasn't expecting for things to MOVE SO FUCKING FAST. Holy shit. In almost an instant all of Japan's Japanese were fucking owning everyone. At the cost of Euphie's life and some thousand Japanese, the whole country is pretty much in a bloodthirsty uproar. Let's recap.


Euphie dies
Lelouch pretty much goes crazy
All of Japan is instantly in chaos
Lelouch's army is HUEG LIEK XBOX
Nina is apparently working on some uber death machine
"Orange" guy is back (not really that shocking)
Marianne, Lelouch's mother, is talking to C.C. somehow
Viletta is GONNA GET RAPED
Princess Kaguya is moe~ <3


Of course the biggest one of all is this...

FUCKING C.C. TWIN NAMED V.V. (lol, volcanic viper?)!!!! SAOJOFDJIOFJFJODSF WHAT THE FUCK. Well, not really a twin, but someone whom obviously shares the same background as C.C. and quite possibly another "Geass" power. Will Suzaku be able to shoot laser beams from his eyes soon or something?

What made me fucking sad was EPISODES 24 AND 25 AIRING IN THE SUMMER. FUCK. WHY MUST THIS SHOW BE SO FUCKING AWESOME.

Waiting is going to suck! ;_; :sad: ;_; :sad: ;_; :sad: ;_;

Viletta gets her memory raped back?

I'm just glad Kaguya has a known name so I can stop calling her Skuld.

Ok, so I downloaded this Geass anime, but the only english subgroup I found was gg, which uses some mkv files that I can't seem to run. And yes, I have the Matroska pack and many codecs, and have been able to run other mkv files in the past, but these ones just don't work.

[Mr. Bastos]

have you tried using VLC player?

What video player do you use? Try the latest version of VLC. (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)

edit: ^ posted at the same time as me :P

As far as anime goes...I'm almost up to date with Tenjou Tenge, and I started reading Hellsing just a couple days ago. I went from volume 1 to 6 in a pretty short time..it's pretty damn good, after all.

yeah i noticed that when i tried playing some stuff before. I used Media Player Classic alot before then when I was at EA a guy who gave me Full Metal Panic told me to use VLC to play mkv's since I couldn't get them to play. and I just started using it more than classic. plus I just got a new comp and I was too lazy to find all the codecs again. perhaps I should go back.

BTW, either yesterday, or today, or some shit, the first episode of Zero no Tsukaima's 2nd season was aired.

Anyone else besides myself looking forward to it (the second season that is)? :lovin:

[Master Chibi]

Woah woah woah, there's a second season?

Hell yes, I loved Zero no Tsukaima.

I didn't like Louise in the begining, but I totally fell for her in the end, though I did want the guy to fall for Sieasta (whatever her name was, SHE WAS A MAID AND THATS ALL THAT MATTERS).

:3

[Pinion]

Woah woah woah, there's a second season?

Indeed there is!

It was made official sometime in December of '06. Here's a link. (http://www.moetron.com/2006/12/20/zero-no-tsukaima-2nd-season-confirmed/)

And this is, I believe, the official site for season 2: http://www.zero-tsukaima.com/index2.html

The first episode for season 2 is/was scheduled to air April 2nd. All we gotta do now is wait for a fan subber to pick it up!

I honestly checked out the series on a whim (solely for Louise), come the first two episodes I was kind of "meh" towards it, but eventually I got hooked.

I agree with you about wanting Saito to hook up with Siesta, I'm not a fan of big bubz, but she's extremely likeable as a character. As for Louise, I fell for her at the start. :lovin:

[Master Chibi]

That reminds me, I have to buy that figure of her on the ladder.

Shit, Code Geass is fucking up my rotation right now.

I'm right in the middle of watching xxxHOLiC and now I got my hands on Code Geass. Shit that first episode had some girth. Now I don't know what series to finish first.

It seems like it's trivial, but I like to concentrate on one anime series at a time.

I like to follow series as they come out--"oh, new episode! *watch*" "Oh, new disc! *watch*"

But other than that, I prefer to follow one at a time, which I end up doing by marathonning them in a day or two. I did watch the first 18 episodes of Monster over 2 months, and the remaining 56 in four days, for example. I watched all of Scrapped Princess in one night. I watched all of Zero no Tsukaima (season 2? AWESOME) in a day. I just watched all of Nodame Cantabile drama - episode 1 in a 16 hour period. I think you know what has to happen.
