Damn, Geass is bonkers right now. I thought it was going to burn out like both of the gundam seed series. Glad I was wrong.
Legend of the Galactic heroes is owning right now though. One of the best shows I have ever seen. I really wish a space opera could be done in similar fashion on network TV.

So far (episode 10), I'm enjoying Code Geass...but I think the story developed way too fast in the very beginning...too much happened in a short period of time.
C.C. is nice...
Btw, I see mentions that episode 23 is the last one in the series. What is this discussion about 24 and 25?

In my previous posts I mentioned how I'm torn between watching xxxHOLiC and Code Geass.
I'm going with xxxHOLiC because I was already in the middle of it, but from just one episode of Geass and the positive reaction from pretty much everybody, not just here, but on numerous sites, I can tell Code Geass is a fucking beast.
If you see one anime watch Code Geass.

Just got done reading Genshiken 8. Holy hell I need to get 9 right now.
Did you guys know that they started adding more episodes to the Tenchi OVA? I kinda just randomly figured this mess out while searching around for some Tenchi stuff to grab. I haven't SEEN anything on it though, so I was wondering if the new episodes were even out.
Random romping in Barnes & Nobles led me to find the Midori no Hibi manga(Americanized as Midori's Days). I didn't even though this shit got an american release. I remember reading it back i nthe day when snoopycool still had a website and I were semi-interested in Yakitite! Japan manga. This was and is still my absolute favorite manga, will definitely buy it to support whoever the hell publishes it.
And I just found out I get 35% discount off of everything at Barnes & Nobles. Oh happy day.

Oh, seriously? I remember seeing the Sasami anime, but I heard nothing regarding the new Tenchi episodes. I just found it funny that as much as I'm into Tenchi, I heard nothing on the new eps. What the heck was I doing this entire time.

You should watch the drama if you can. Also, definitely watch Nana. Nana is shoujo Beck.

Damn, I hate being behind. Glad Central is back on track: I may do a marathon tonight even though I really need to be doing other stuff. I'm about 6 episodes behind right now. I'm going to assume that Julian is no closer to tapping Katerose in six episodes.

Geass is very dense. It's one of those shows where you'll find a lot of stuff watching thorugh a second time. I watched some of the earlier episodes again when I was going through some of the boards after watching 22 (I felt like I seriously needed a fucking support group after watching that episode), and I kept seeing stuff that I hadn't really caught or didn't totally grasp the first time.
As for 23, it's the end of the regular season. There will be two more eps aring sometime this summer, and then season two starts in the fall. I'm going to be sick of waiting. I almost wish I didn't know about it, so I could be surprised, like I was with Black Lagoon Second Barrage.

What's the deal with xxxHOLIC? I've been hearing it bantied about, but I have no idea what it's about or whatever. I'm just vaguely intrigued.
Oh, and I'm halfway caught up on Sumomo Mo Momo Mo. This show is absolutely retarded, in a good way.

xxxHOLiC is strange as hell. It's about a teenager who can see evil spirits and through the help of some super sexy fortiune teller chick he rights the wrongs and bad habits of people ailing from these spirits.
So far I still don't know where this series is going and I'm on the eleventh episode. Still, it's an interesting story, it's from CLAMP and as far as I've known they have never done wrong (based on Chobits and X).

I love xxxHolic, but I only read the manga. Never bothered with the anime (same applies to Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle). If you don't mind me asking, what exactly is going on by episode 11?
BTW, whenever someone finds a torrent for the first episode of Zero No Tsukaima season 2 please give a heads up. Cause I'm actively looking (know it still may be a couple days wait), but gotta help your brothers out you know? I'll be sure to do the same if I stumble across something early.

xxxHOLiC episode 11 was about the Rain Sprite trying to set up the Vestal Sprite with Watanuki. Episode 12 featured a trip to a summer beach house and there were evil spirits there of course.
And let me tell you, Yuko looked fucking RIDICULOUS in her bikini. Her tits were almost jackoff material. She's skinny yet her bust is just well, busty. The best part about her chest is that it borders on the over-the-top yet stops just short.

Can anyone that seen Giant Robo explain to me, it the finale is really all there is to the story?
Great series but that ending especially with Big Fire waking up had me, cursing. Still better than Big O season two ending.
I absolutely hate the animation style of xxxHolic...it kind of turned me off from watching it entirely.
code gaess is too good..i forgot about this anime for a min...but im watching 16 right now.
but seriously..the pizza hut product placement is too much. it seriously takes away from the anime.

Wellman, for the Giant Robo question. Yes that's it. The manga-ka(on the extras on the disc) mentioned he would like to do more of the animation but there are no plans for it right now. ALot of the staff during the interviews seemed wiped out after epsidoe 5
Personally I loved how it ended. Probably THE most beast ending, I've seen in quite some time. I like how it was left open-ended but there was still a worthwhile ending that was just awesomley bittersweet and epic.

Don't get me wrong, I love the ending, but I WANT MORE!!!
More Magnifcent Ten (ALBERTO)!
More Murasame the Immortal!
More Robo either punching or shooting mofos in the face!
I just want more, hell, I am still not even sure who the IPO's Celestial Nine were supposed to be. The show was so open ended, I expected another episode. I pity the bastards that had to wait from 1992 until 1998 to get just the seven.

Aside from Rozen Maiden at the moment, there was only one other anime that left a hole in my heart. And that's the Nakoruru OVA, only one episode was released and it ends on a HUGE cliffhanger. Episode two got canned and I'm left crying. :sad:

@Pinion, don't worry mate, you just have to be patient. Hopefully Hellsing Ultimate is doing good in Japan and with time that part will get animated. Remember that every Ep. of Ultimate=1 Manga Vol. or such.
@Green- I got my Hellsing via DLing from mIRC. If ur interested PM me.

Aside from a few big key battles, practically every fight in DB >>> average DBZ fight, if only in uniqueness.
Warpticon: Could be, I can't remember the last time an anime has made me feel like crying because THERE was so many cool things unresolved.
I mean there are tons of anime that leave stuff unresolved, but Giant Robo makes me sad, I will never get them resolved even after a grand finale on Giant Robo's scale.
I'm going to start watching the Ginrei specials now, but frankly I don't expect it to be nearly as good.

About Claymore-
gave it a quick look at Wikipedia and since Berserk is like my 2nd fav. manga series (If I read first before JoJo's B. A. it would've been no. 1), would I find it as interesting as Berserk? Or if it is somewhat on a different leauge than Berserk, is a good read?
DLed the first vol. of 20th Century Boys- damn this shit is sick! Once I finish DLing All vols. of DB, I'll start DLing more of it!

And even though the episode count is huge, it's all good man. You'll be hooked on this worse than crack. And for a series that's this long, One Piece does a great job of not being filler-happy.

one peice is an example of art styles clashing
he has realism in his art..in terms of details in the boats and cities..but all the characters are very cartoonish art. its clear he has a clear understanding of artistic laws and how he can bend them. its very much a japanese groo...where his characters are cartoonish but the backgrounds are highly detailed.
That's how most anime is 9 times out of 10.

i saw the first 15 or so eps of one piece. felt too goofy. i mean, theres on point where this dude fucks up his straw hat and he tweaks out for like 5 minutes, then other random shit (i guess you could call it comedic relief) takes over. the series just didnt seem serious at all. now im not hating on comedy animes, but iunno, one piece just didnt take.
and yes i realize one piece is not a comedy anime....unless it is @_@
edit: 7 eps into myhime. SO COOL.

Oh and
Lacus>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Than that retarded crazy bitch Flay.
Flay>Lacus
And I will tell you why... (Entering Gundam fanboy mode... NOW!)
Lacus is a goddamn tool son.
Yeah, I know Flay was a bitch, racist, stupid and in some circles could be justified as a whore, but the bitch had a personality.
Then you have Lacus, pink hair, loves Haro toys, has insane amounts of political power, craves peace and sings.
My man, Lacus is the ungodly spawn of a Relena Peacecroft (Gundam Wing), that singing bitch Minmei (Macross/Robotech) and every other pink haired goody to shoe bimbo in anime. No personality worth a damn but every mofo on the show busts a nut at her command or they are a villian. Kira actually had potential until she ruins him. Shit gets worst in SEED Destiny.
So give me the bitch with an original personality over a stuffed pushy made up of overused and lame cliches.

I guess you are right about her character being cliche.
That still doesn't make Flay any more likeable IMO.
She has gotten better,since she joined Earth Alliance,and apparently has chosen Kira over the dude with glasses.
And yes,it is insane,that Lacus Cline holds ANY political power.I know her dad is powerful,but she should ONLY be a Pop Idol.Not a politcian,mobil suit pilot,and a bunch of other shit.
-------
BTW,when do the broken God Tier Gundams come into play?
If Gundam Wing Zero saw the power of these Gundams,right now he'd be rolling in his grave.And the stealth Gundam that's in the show right now,comes nowhere near DeathScythe.
I cried during the Arlong arc, no joke.
oh thank god....at least some other male cried at that..when nami begged luffy i balled. that series can get your emotions...even though the way they animate crying scenes is weird..when their pulling for your strings they do it.

Actually OP is kicking serious ass now, manga specifically, what with the current arc, Thriller Bark, having the freakiest, craziest shit yet!
In addition there ARE badass designed characters in OP-
Kuro, Crocodile, Dragon, Enel, Lucci, Kaku are to name a few oh and Hawk Eyes as well, can't believe I forget this guy.
Take it from me- Read the OP manga before the anime. ATM the are for the anime is shit when compared to years ago. I mean seriously, Zoro's Rashoumon is STILL the move that I have no fucking idea how he even DOES!

Biolink: The semi-invincible Mobile Suits don't come until the second half of the series, when shit get ridiculous. And I mean RIDICULOUS.
And One Piece is a lot more graphic in manga form. So many of the characters lose gallons of blood and take vicious hits in the fight, its beautiful. One of my favorites is the Baratie/Don Krieg fight, Luffy takes shit loads of damage and still stomps a mudhole in Krieg's ass. Zoro usually either cuts and/or gets cut the fuck up in his fights as well.
Giant Robo has got me thinking, I will have to look for more little talked about classics I have missed. Also I need to pick up Big O season 1 and 2.

Just finished watching the first episode of Darker than BLACK, starts off really slow but shows some promise. Hoping to learn more about the characters and the world they reside in with the following episodes as not much has been explained just yet (matter of fact episode 1 starts off by basically throwing you in the middle of something :confused: ).
I'm going to give the next couple of episodes a chance, if it doesn't progress to my liking I'll drop it. Still worth looking into though.

I just watched Lucky Star just before Darker than BLACK and I have mixed feelings about what I saw. The dialogue featured is terribly mundane, although I'll admit that I smirked over the conversation concerning the relation between colds and influenza. That aside the episode was rather devoid of life despite the lively intro.
What I do like is the implied fact that Kona-chan is a pervert, that just appeals to me for all kinds of reasons. :rofl: Plus her beating the shit out of Guile was funny.
I'm gonna stick with it for a while, maybe even see the whole thing through, we'll see.

You damn kids and your ability to understand moonspeak. I'll have to wait for subs before I can watch Lucky Star. It's a shame that the actual anime, at least for the first episode, lacks the life and whackiness that the OP has. I'm surprised it seems so dull, considering the same director of Haruhi is in charge of it. Perhaps it'll pick up in the next episode... as the first episode of Haruhi was kind of bleh at first as well.

So, I came here to ask for suggestions on some animes to watch. Ive already got some good resources to watch anime so don't really worry about how Im going to watch them.
Could everyone please suggest to me your very few favorite animes, like maybe around 5 max please... try to keep it as short as possible. Subtitles or not, no difference to me either. I havn't seen too many full series of animes in my life either.
These are my absolute favorite animes I have seen. I really try to cut it down to the very best.
-Samurai Champloo
-DBZ
-Fullmetal Alchemist
Extra info on what to post or what not to post/questions I have on some animes
-Is Neon Genesis:Evangelion any good?
-Already saw Gunslinger Girl. Thought it was descent but nothing spectacular.
-Death Note Saw the first 5 mins, story looks good. The way I am trying to download it will take a long time...is it worth the wait?
-Cowboy Bebop Saw a bit, is it as good as Champloo?
-Trigun Saw a bit, I didnt see any too spectacular. You reccomend it?
-Elfen Leid Saw a bit, would you reccomend it?
-Hajime no Ippo Is there a story to it?
-Afro Samurai Kinda turned me away cause it isnt Japanese, but since The RZA did the music maybe it will be much better?
Ones not to suggest for various reasons:
-Dragon Ball (original)
-DBZ: GT
-Naruto (I do not like it, maybe you will understand my tastes better if you know that I hate it)
-One Piece (not my taste)
-Avatar (not my taste)
-Bleach (I dont really like it much, just average)
-InuYasha (Dont really like it much either)

Not really new to anime at all, just havnt watched many series all the way through. Usually only watch like 1 or 2 episodes to see if I might like em.
I know 3 years worth of Japanese and anime just means animation in English, so therefore Avatar technically would be.
Is afro samurai really Japanese? I figured it wasnt because of what tv station it was on, Samuel L. Jackson as a voice actor, and the RZA doing the music.

Don't believe the haters about Evangelion. It is an excellent series. However, you must see the movie immediately after the watching the series because that in my opnion is the true ending.
Cowboy Bebop is great. At first I thought it was the best anime ever. Now that I've seen more, it's still top tier rather than king of the mountain. It's is a very cool story and the ending is intriguing.
Trigun is also top tier. It is a slow anime at the beginning. But once you get to the heart of the series it is an excellent story (I still have questions about it, but I'm not confused, you know kinda like watching the Matrix over to fully understand it). And the final battle is one of the best fights around.
Elfen Lied is good. Definitely worth a watch. Short too, so it won't waste your time.
Rurouni Kenshin is a very LONG series. I have seen the movie which is just a cut of a few episodes and it was fantastic. It was dramatic, romantic and action packed all at the same time. How many movies can you truly say that about?

Its a stupid show, and no one should watch it. Let it die and dont give the creator any money he doesnt deserve. It doesnt even make sence, and they constantly change the "rules" of the story through out it, just so they can allow stupid things like allowing the main characters to have sex. Beacuse thats just what we need more nerdy fan boyish people masterbateing to ugly ass anime.
Dont be tricked into watching it like I was.

Just finished watching Gundam Seed for the first time.It really was something else,and had me almost in tears a few times.
One thing I will say is that,Gundam Wing Zero rapes every Gundam in this series 10x over.If the Zaft and Earth Alliance people thought Justice,and Freedom were powerful,then...
And also,what the fuck is wrong with some of these kids.Wanting to blow up their Gundams?Those things are too cool to just blow up like it isn't shit.

your weird..you like dbz but not db? i never hear that.
avatar isnt an anime
but...
-prince of tennis
-yu yu hakusho
-full metal alchemist
-bleach
-one piece
-tenjou tenge...doesnt even begin to touch the manga.
-hajime no ippo
i'm mostly into fighting animes..even if their shitty.
afrosamurai is japanese...i dont know wut ur talking about..you say alot of weird things..are you new to anime? not making fun of you just a serious question.
umm no his kinda right afo smaurai was animated by studio gonzo ,but was cofunded by spike tv hence the western feel of it, and the fact that it
doesn't have a japanesse cast seem to appy its for the western fanbase.
team cable what were you confused about with trigun???

Deadpool, give Hellsing Ultimate a watch, and NEVER touch the anime! This series kicks ass :tup:
I'm not much of a fan of anime all of a sudden as I have been reading a lot of mangas that are FAR superior than their anime counter parts (with a few exceptions. I wonder how good the MAR anime is compared to the manga ver.?)
I know 3 years worth of Japanese and anime just means animation in English, so therefore Avatar technically would be.
Is afro samurai really Japanese? I figured it wasnt because of what tv station it was on, Samuel L. Jackson as a voice actor, and the RZA doing the music.
no i really mean...avatar is american. like 100% american production...its not an anime.
i guess afro samurai can be skewed as american. but...the story is from a manga, the animation is japanese..only thing american are the voices.

Just started Gundam Seed Destiny.It's aight so far.
I do have a gripe with Impule Gundam though.The way that thing is set up is a DISASTER waiting to happen.Unlike other Gundams that have pretty much a preset body type(Except for the occasional Gundam that can transform),this particular Gundam is launched,and assembled in PIECES(Torso/Cockpit,Legs,and Upper Body).One of these episodes I know some random Gundam is going to interefere with the assembly process and leave Shinn really screwed.It's a Gundam not some power rangers zord.
Cool idea,but its setting up Shinn to be really screwed over.
I'm watching/reading tons of anime/manga right now. I always seem to diverge into anime/games/etc a few weeks before finals :(
Anime
- Code Geass (going to start ep3. its good so far, waiting to see even more EPIC things happen)
- Mezzo DSA (lol based on a hentai~ I like it. Ep5 really did it for me though)
- Eureka Seven (ep10)
- "Rumbling Hearts" aka Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (renting the whole series from netflix, just waiting for it to arrive)
- Kaleido Star (renting after Rumbling Hearts)
Manga
- Berserk (I cannot fathom an anime character more gar then Guts. still on vol1 though :\)
- GTO (vol2, good stuff)
- Tsubasa (vol8)
- Kare Kano (vol4)
- Excel Saga (bought all the volumes online at a cheap price, waiting for it to be sent)
- Galaxy Angel (bought vol4 and 5 to finish my collection, waiting for it)
- Desert Coral (just bought vol1 only, seeing if I can get into it)
finished/caught up with:
- Hellsing manga (i wish this series would get finished up sooner)
- Tenjou Tenge (...bleh)

1)I have only watched 3 Gundams(G Gundam,Gundam Wing,Gundam Seed)and all of those 3 were great.I can't speak for the other series because I haven't saw them yet(I'm new to the Gundam series as well)
2)Where ya been at man :lol:.Are you just getting into anime because you haven't seen Bebop or Trigun yet :lol:, Anyway those are all great animes.I haven't watched all of Hellsing,and the Evangelion ending requires you to watch the movie to completly know what's going on in that little shit's head(You'll see who I'm talking about).
I watched a bit of Haruhi,I didn't like it that much,but the majority of people I know do like it,so you can give it a try.
3)Death Note is VERY worth watching.Action,Mystery,Drama,it's got it all
4)Hajime No Ippo's story isn't anything that we haven't heard before(Kid that was bullied learns how to defend himself,and proves to everybody that he isn't weak)
Hajime No Ippo is THE classic underdog story,and it is an awesome anime,filled with plenty of comedy.You HAVE to watch it.

You haven't watched Gundam if you haven't seen the original 3-movie rendetion of the 79 TV series and/or Gundam Z!
And yeah, Ippo is top-tier. I'm not into boxing, yet I find the show most excellent. The manga is even better.
I also concur on the Death Note recommendation. Real good story.
Also, Deadpool135, if you want a show with a great story, give Monster a try. It's like watching a really good real-life drama and not an anime LoL!
GC!?:tenjou tenge needs more bob...after the big ass fight with the girl in like vol.12...that shit was insane..best art for a fight ever done. and now bob is a background character :(
i dunno, but that fight actually quickly turned madoka into one of my favorite characters. she's awesome.
my favorite battle is still maya versus tetsuhito. that shit was too good. reiki activation is broken.
characters-wise, my personal favorites are:
males
1) bunshichi
2) masataka
3) mitsuomi
females
1) maya
2) madoka
3) aya
what i really want to see is bunshichi fight again. he's listed as vice captain for the enforcers team's selection tournament line up so we'll probably see him in action again when juukenbu fights them in what is probably the final battle of the story.

Sweet Jesus, no. You don't just watch any Gundam to get into the genre. If you want to get into Gundam, watch the original Mobile Suit Gundam first. Not only do you get where the entire series starts from and gets most of its inspiration from (lets face it, the first half of Seed is really just a crappier, less believable version of MSG with better animation), but you also get what is considered one of the best, if not the best, Gundam series of them all. There are really only 2 knocks against watching that instead of any other Gundam series:
1-There is, at this point in time, no way to get an original Japanese dub, but the English dub is acceptable.
2-The animation is really dated, but if you use that as an excuse to not watch it, don't blame me for calling you a graphics whore.

Like Maxx mentioned,the Season 2 opening theme song will make you want to slit your wrists VERTICALLY though,so avoid it at ALL costs.

what codecs do I need for media player classic to play mkv's? In fact what are all the codecs I need period for avi's and mp4's and all that. vlc just isn't working for me when I play them, it's always freezing and crashing on me. I figured it'd just be best to go back to media player classic.
EDIT: Well I found an old cd that I had put all my old codecs on, I installed them all and got media player classic and the mkv's seem to be working just fine now.
EDIT #2: I was watching nodame that warpticon linked, which is why I was asking about mkv's, and I was checking out episode 8 and it looks like the subs are kind messed up when she's singing some fart song, they overlap the japanese subs and there are these random hex looking codes that appear in front of them, any idea's on how to fix this? I checked it out on vlc player and that hex code isn't there and it doesn't overlap, though it does eventually freeze and crash. maybe I am doomed to never being able to watch mkv's I wish it was just not embedded into the file. the 2 episodes of the nodame drama I managed to find were hard subbed and worked just fine.

So yeah, I watched Lucky Star ep 1 this morning and I feel the same way that everyone else does. I could see the humor in talking about eating random foods, but it drug out far too long. Konata is the only one with any real personality to her, being that she's a lazy, but strangely athletic, otaku; everyone else seems rather dull and void of a personality that stands out. There were a few humorous parts, but the best one was about Konata beating up Guile (completely random... lol hurricane kicks). However, I was expecting something with more energy... like Azumanga or Ouran High School Host Club. Scene progression didn't make much sense... in fact it seemed kind of random. Episode 1 was literally about nothing... no coherent plot to it whatsoever.
Overall it was a bit disappointing... the best part being the insane OP and Konata's silly ¦3 face.
Hopefully episode 2 will pick things up a bit... or I'll probably lose interest. I was really looking forward to this series as well. What the fuck Mr. Haruhi Director? I expected better from you! T_T

I agree with most this list, cept I'd put mitsuomi over masataka and change Aya to Makiko Nagi. I'd also like to see Bunshichi fight more, too bad he usually doesn't seem motivated to fight.
And am i going too hell for not watching Harui?
no, and I think the fandom has quieted down..at least a little bit. If there will be a second season, the internet will once again turn into chaos. I recommend just watching it so you can get it past you. It's a good series, but man, some people are freaking INSANE about Haruhi and I don't get it.

yes, I certainly hope he can pull off a few more wins before the series' end. hell, I wouldn't mind if he decided to join up with Mitsuomi (who's been wanting to train him for a while) and get a few pointers so he can get stronger and compete with the rest of the cast. he's got the potential, as Mitsuomi said.
honestly, it's annoying when some characters are sometimes left in the dark or are vastly undermined by everyone else. Chad from Bleach is a good example as he's lost a lot more fights then he's won...and when he DOES win he loses immediately after. Yeah, it's probably because he runs into some seemingly broke-tier opponent right afterwards, but...
Sometimes I think shounen characters should be balanced in a way that One Piece does it - each character can at least hold their ground in their own way. No one (at least the way I see it) is truly weak, and they don't always need to rely on the buff main character (Luffy in this case, or other character) to come save them all the time.

I'm not going to say I dislike Haruhi, because I honestly don't, and I don't have any reason to. However, I DON'T like the fandom (which is what you're referring to), but this in no way affects my opinion of the series itself. Let me put it this way..I like it, it's a good series, but it is NOT a GREAT series like everyone makes it out to be, and I have no idea why it got the crazy hype.

a couple pages back someone posted vol.1-6 of the scanlated ones. Hopefully(for your sake and other english speaking fans of Baki bad assness) it doesn't get dropped.
That's the best you gonna get unless you can read Japanese. Fandom here isn't up to the level of the Latin countries and some European countries, so don't expect to see it on these shores anytime soon.*points to TOUGH as an example*
Son of Ogre is pretty bad ass as well(Baki goodness after Baki the Grappler)

Oh I know what you mean by everyone pushing you. That shit's annoying and it makes me NOT want to give in to watching whatever's pushed to me.
If and when I decide to watch whatever series is pushed at me, I just say to myself "I just want to see what the big deal is" and watch it while trying to keep a neutral point of view.
Hey, if you hate the series, that's fine, I don't blame you. When I finished Haruhi I was like "ok, and?" It didn't really impact me as much as it apparently did others.
Warpticon
04-12-2007, 09:06 PM
GC's feelings about Haruhi are pretty much identical to mine. I enjoyed the series. I don't understand the preliminary hype at all, and I only understand the post-watching hype somewhat. That did not affect my enjoyment of the show at all, because it was quite entertaining when it wasn't just being weird to be weird.
So I mentioned earlier that I was going to follow the new Cameltousen series because I like trainwrecks. For anybody who hasn't seen it, it pretty much sucks in exactly the same ways the first series sucks, plus a couple more. Specifically, the art and animation are absolutely laughable. The show is about, like, 90 thousand hot chicks, and somehow they all run like cardboard cutouts and are shaped like Lego men. Except for Kan-u. In fact, everything good about the show is pretty much Kan-u. She's one of three characters with an actual personality, she somehow comes off as dignified despite wearing the shortest skirt and shortest shirt ever, and most importantly, she carries a fucking halberd everywhere. She's the diamond in the shitpile. Also, new characters are introduced in volume and circumstances so disjointed and overwhelming as to make the show completely unwieldy. You have to be trying your ass off to remember who's on whose team and what they're trying to accomplish with only a single watch. Sadly, it doesn't suck enough to really be funny (okay, the shitty art/animation is funny at times), so it's not the trainwreck I wanted it to be. I'm torn on continuing. I'd watch a Kan-u spinoff show, though.
Apocalypse Zero is underrated.

Everybody is a pussy except Shinn.
I don't care that his character ended up the way he did like most people have a problem with.
It's a breath of fresh air that the Neutral/Confused fighter doesn't always go to the good side.He pretty much represents what Athran would have been like if he chose to seek revenge instead of ending the war.

I just got done watching all of Seed Destiny.
I HATE how they place Kira on a fucking pedestal.

You guys did warn me :sad:
I also am not liking Lacus as much.She has a
"Holier than thou"
She's so perfect and idealistic,that it's sickening.
Shinn was great in the beginning of the series,but he slowly deteriorated(sp?)to the point where I think he was going borderline insane,and he started doing only what people told him to do.
I DID like him moreso than the rest of the pussy main cast though(Kira,Athrun,Cagalli,Lacus,and the rest of the crew).

i dont understand the hype of grappler baki...didnt like the anime much. for some reason the story felt kinda flat. all it was is baki training and getting beasted. granted some of the fights in the first season i thought were cool, but the second season just seemed like one big crapfest. i understand that yujiro is fucking invincible and baki's mom was a fucking nutjob, what i dont understand is how baki could think that he would ever be able to compete with his pops.

Nope there is no sex scene in Gundam Seed Destiny.
There is an implied sex scene in Gundam Seed though.
Kira gets out of the bed,puts on his clothes and then they show Flay with only a blanket covering her naked body.

I forgot about that one.
Durandal gets Commander Gladys pretty early in the series.

Alright guys, in regards to Zero no Tsukaima: Season 2.
Apparently the 2nd season officially starts come July. Sorry about the misinformatio, I feel stupid to say the least. ^^;
On a related note, who the hell is holding Louise on the official website (http://www.zero-tsukaima.com/)? Is that her mother? Older sister maybe? Whoever it is looks like she's got some big BUBZ lol.
EDIT: Oh shit, after looking it over I think the other two featured on the front page are Louise's sisters! Cause isn't she the youngest out of a set of 3?

Only minutes ago, I finished reading Hunter x Hunter 14; honestly, what a fantastic read!
I'm heading over-seas soon, and because I won't be taking my manga with me, I'm severely cutting down on my rate of purchase, but I'll make sure that I am always reading this one.
I know there's a few fans in this thread, what did you think of it?

Can someone tell me the song from Cowboy bebop the movie
The song that happens when all the planes are flying and Jet is giving them instructions and Spike is flying to avoid getting shot by the other planes.
That wicked instrumental tune

Against the bequist of everybody,I have watched up to episode 36 of Seed Destiny.
*Preliminary Thoughts*
Everybody is a pussy except Shinn.
I don't care that his character ended up the way he did like most people have a problem with.
It's a breath of fresh air that the Neutral/Confused fighter doesn't always go to the good side.He pretty much represents what Athran would have been like if he chose to seek revenge instead of ending the war.
oh please Shinns so fucking EMO kira is the shit!

That son of a bitch and his bitch Girlfriend and that bitch crybaby Athrun,and his stupid whiny idealistic girlfriend Cagalli should have all died.

listen to this man...if u just started with like seed or wing as your first series ur gonna think everyone is gay or sum shit. Old school gundam ftw...and gundam g haha. gundam g is a must.
Gundam Wing is the first gundam series I've truly watched and it is still by far the best one I've seen :tup: . Later I watched almost every gundam series and I still think it's the best although there are some really good ones too. Just as a heads up Gundam Wing and G gundam are much different then most of them they also take place in a very alternate universe(s) compared to most of the rest of the Gundam series.
:lol: I remeber G Gundam also it's like a straight cross of Gundam Wing and Dragon Ball Z but it's still interesting to watch. :lol:
although one I really really didn't like and one you should probably skip or not watch at all :shake: is Gundam 0080.
Also if anyone is interested we (Game-Zone Recreation a video game and anime club) are having a big event called the Kinyobi con which means friday con in Japonese which is an anime con in Hayward, California (North Cali) at Chabot Community College. It should be really fun :party: so check it out at www.gzronline.com and if you want further info about it PM me :tup: .
