Anime Thread: No longer has a stupid title

[NonCon]

So, I'm at episode 47 of Monster and really liking it. The fairy tale is awesome. Suk is cool in his own way. 42 made me WTF. Grimmer is one of my favorite characters so far. The whole "Magnificent Steiner" thing is kind of cool and sad at the same time.

After this I have no idea what I'll watch. Any recommendations? What have you been watching or even rewatching lately?

[phil_]

I'm still grinding my way through Slayers. I've gotten through the first two seasons, the first two movies, and Book of Spells. So, now I'm on Try. It seems to be getting better, but I have this feeling that I'll have wasted my time by the end.

[NonCon]

I haven't seen too much Slayers, but I never really got the appeal of it.

EDIT: Toradora! 14 was good. Show continues to be great. I wish I could say more, but it's just one of those shows that anything you try to say to explain the appeal would either scare people away or fail to live up to the show itself.

If you're gonna watch Revolution just look for the first three episodes or so. Everything else sucks.

[EVILNess]

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. It's short and they make funny faces.

[Megaman FTW]

LFM animes. I've already seen Death Note, Trigun, FMA, Naruto, and a lot of Bleach. I prefer ones that aren't too weird and don't like the ones that continue indefinitely past 400 episodes. Ending at 13-50 is fine with me. Preferable, in fact, because it means you don't have to deal with watching it religiously for 6 years only for it to turn lame like Bleach did. Its helpful if they're not too weird.

[NonCon]

Gurren Lagann!

Now that that's out of the way, I recommend Casshern Sins, Afro Samurai, Haruhi Suzumiya, and Hellsing. And Monster.

[Buddha Fett]

I just finished watching Gurren Lagann yesterday, and I've gotta say it was an amazingly amazing show.

[Belm]

I just finished watching Gurren Lagann yesterday, and I've gotta say it was an amazingly amazing show.

Word.

Since Megaman is looking for another anime I'll throw out Gungrave again. It's an awesome mafia anime that's in the 20ish episodes length.

[Donomni]

I just finished watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann yesterday, and I've gotta say it was an IMPOSSIBLY amazingly amazing show.

Fixed. :p

Regarding out Blue Bomber poster:

Eureka Seven.
For serious, you'll love it, dood.

[bluestarultor]

Basilisk isn't bad if you don't mind knowing pretty much by the time that you've seen 5 seconds of the intro that everyone is going to die by the end. Not my thing, but Phantom7 liked it.

I personally like what I've seen of Black Cat. Tons of gun action on par with pretty much any gun-oriented anime. Also seems intelligent enough, but I first caught it partway in and really haven't seen that much of the story. It's a little bishie, but I suppose that that's to be expected from Shonen Jump.

I find Fruits Basket hilarious from what I've seen, but it's also got a bit of a darker side to it. Some of it has some pretty good insight, too.

Past that, if you haven't seen Excel Saga, it's crazy funny. :D

[Ryong]

So, I went and saw TTGL again when showing it to a friend. Sorairo Days makes me tingly. And he liked TTGL a lot, which only confirms how much of an idiot my other friend who hated TTGL is.

[Regulus Tera]

I know this is me being picky, but...

http://i44.tinypic.com/fk77m8.jpg

Did they change animators again? Ryuuji's face was all kinds of weird in this episode.

A lot of the animation seemed flat too. I suppose this is the result of the post mid-season "finale" budget drain.

Fixed. :p

Donomni.

Who here has watched Full Metal Panic? I saw someone post a video of it in the youtoobs section and i was like "oh yea, I forgot this hilarious slice of anime existed" FMP Fumoffu will never cease to make me laugh hysterically.

I've watched it, Fumoffu, and The Second Raid(TSR). All were wonderful in exicution of both serious para-military themes and just quirky/funny Japanese highschool situations.

Amazing anime, manga goes beyond where it ends and makes it even better.

For the girls out there I'd have to recommend Earl and Fairy and Skip Beat!. Daughter of 20 faces is very nice as well, I just can't find the LAST two damn episodes.

Some old personal favorites include Kino's Journey and Twelve Kingdoms.

Full Metal Panic is one of the few subjects that can make me violently angry even in comparison to my usual default state of violent anger. There's no point repeating myself on the subject so instead I'll just link it (http://forum.nuklearpower.com/showpost.php?p=759257&postcount=6).

Souske and Chidori were from vastly different worlds. It is no real stretch to believe that throughout the course of the series they would, in fact, not end up together. Japan in general has a habit of making anime that doesn't have a completely happy ending......or just has a down right sad one. I don't see how this is any worse than say an anime about a guy who can control peoples' minds with his left eye so he decides to hop a mech and fight a revolution.......or a contrived tale of an office worker who gets kidnapped at sea and decides to become a great mercenary with his captors, rubbing elbows with Russians mob bosses, crime syndicates, and arms dealing nuns.

EDIT: Plus the show actually capitalized a lot of its humor off of the misunderstandings that occurred based on the differences in thought process of a teen-boy super-soldier and a common sense using temperamental girl.

[phil_]

Well, now that Fifth has ranted about FMP, I feel comfortable expressing my less vitriolic opinion that it was boring, stayed boring, and I dropped it. I didn't really care about anyone, I didn't really care what was happening, and I didn't care to watch two more seasons. The mech design was alright.

Sort of like Slayers, except Slayers has Xellos, and he's pretty amusing for an omghax character. Slayers could use some giant robots.

[Tev]

Hey, quick question. Am I the only guy out there that's seen the anime Bartender? And if not, what'd you think of it? I've been wanting to have a good conversation about the anime based on booze with someone but I practically have to make people watch it first so that said convo can take place.

Also, if you haven't seen it, I'd suggest it. It's only like 12 episodes and as a bonus you get to learn a lot about various alcoholic beverages and their histories. And, as a bonus, during each episode's ending credits they teach you how to make the featured drink of the episode.

[Fifthfiend]

Generally I will agree it's the case that over the course of a series that two characters from different walks of life might not end up together.

The problem is that in FMP it was completely retarded by the third Goddamn episode that the two main characters haven't ended up together and there's no good reason for them doing so except for that both of them are mentally handicapped and Mechsie McTactics is apparently the Man With No Penis. Or he just doesn't like girls I don't know.

Plus the show actually capitalized a lot of its humor off of the misunderstandings that occurred based on the differences in thought process of a teen-boy super-soldier and a common sense using temperamental girl.

Which is to say the show capitalized all its humor from the exact same misunderstanding, repeated over and over again for like 24 Goddamn episodes, and then an entire second series wherein they could then repeat the same Goddamn misunderstanding for another 24 episodes.

That's usually the case with comedy based anything. Unless it's random it'll start to suck around ep 5.

[Tev]

Mechie McTactics is apparently the Man With No Penis. Or he just doesn't like girls I don't know.
Well to be fair, they do make it a point often in the series that he's a certified soldier to the core. His entire history is based of taking orders and killing people. He is dogged constantly about how he is so female-inept by his own teammates. Frankly, he just plays the part of the unobservant guy that just doesn't get it. That's his role in the show. Near the end he does start to grapple with his feelings for Chidori, but as usual, the soldier and protector in him come out on top.

It's pretty close to the same role of the guy in all those harem animes where the guy is surrounded by like five to seven women and really wants nothing to do with any of them. We don't say that guy hates girls do we? He just doesn't like being in the middle of an often dangerous catfight.

To be honest though, I enjoyed watching the show for the mech designs and seeing just what Souske would do to piss off Chidori that episode. If you weren't up for the messed up relationship they were in, I can understand the tech not being enough to keep you watching.

[NonCon]

Casshern Sins 14 was pretty good. Dio and Casshern fight. Nothing gets resolved, but you do get a little more understanding about Dio. Also, Luna is at the end of the episode. Yay, plot. New ending song is pretty good, too.

[Fifthfiend]

Casshern Sins 14 was pretty good. Dio and Casshern fight. Nothing gets resolved, but you do get a little more understanding about Dio. Also, Luna is at the end of the episode. Yay, plot. New ending song is pretty good, too.

Is there some number of episodes I can just skip over to the point at which the plot stops being "CASSHAN! GET IN MAH BELLAY!" and starts being about things? Cause the couple eps I watched seemed like they'd be pretty good if they would just like, do that.

[Regulus Tera]

No. You're probably better just dropping off the show.

[Fifthfiend]

That's a shame. I mean him punching the guts out of robots was hella cool, I just wish there was like, a more diverse range of motivations for him doing so.

[NonCon]

Hey, Fifth, do episode six, eight (if only for the singing and fighting part near the end), nine because it's the best episode so far, ten, and thirteen onwards. Eight and nine don't add much to the plot, but they're amazing for being Casshern & Friends episodes.

[Possum Knight]

Hey, quick question. Am I the only guy out there that's seen the anime Bartender? And if not, what'd you think of it? I've been wanting to have a good conversation about the anime based on booze with someone but I practically have to make people watch it first so that said convo can take place.

I didn't watch the series, but i read the manga, and from a friend who read and watched both, he said the manga was much more enjoyable.


It's probably my favorite slice of life manga for the feelings attached to each drink and the memories they bring back and how the bartender figures it out. It's almost like a simplistic version of a detective show....but with drinks. So its more like real life detectives.



Gundam 00 episode 14 was interesting, and a good number amount of plot was explaned. Also, the Gundams actually showed their awesomeness for once rather than just them getting the mess beat out of them showing how "advanced" they are.

[NonCon]

Toradora 15 was nifty, and I worry for Kitamura.

Monster is cool and I love all its picture books.

[Regulus Tera]

Can I assume from your avatar that you've been reading Tora Tora Tora!?

I liked the colouring in that one. Oh yeah, as for the episode, pretty standard Toradora! stuff.*

*Meaning awesome and fun and heartwrenching. I'm burned with anime right now, but there's a reason this is the only show I'm still keeping on weekly for a reason.

[NonCon]

So, something about Casshern bothers me. I still like it, and I'm gonna watch it to finish, but something irks me about the whole thing.

Casshern: I killed Luna.
Robot: Kill Casshern.
Other Robot: Casshern is mah buddy.
Robot: Devour Casshern.
Casshern: No, don't!
Other Robot: Casshern is still mah buddy.
Robot: You killed Luna!
Casshern: I killed Luna? I... I... I killed Luna! *Goes crazy*
Robot: *Dies*
Other Robot: Casshern is mah bestest buddy.

Specifically the fact that no matter how many times he accepts that he killed Luna and says it himself, if somebody else tells him he did it, he goes all crazy and whatnot.

EDIT: I actually think this show would be better without Casshern. Just the one episode characters and whatnot.

[Incendius]

I'd like to recommend Claymore for anyone out there looking for a good action series that has strong, non sexualized, and interesting female main leads, as well as a ton of kickass monster designs. If one can ignore/stand Raki for say, the first two episodes as the world building is going on, it starts getting really into gear, and it maintains as one of the best series for the rest of its run, even given the altered ending. (The series followed the manga for the most part, but the manga is still a monthly ongoing so they had to change a few things near the end.)

[Victus]

As usual, I'll throw out some of what I've seen:

Noir. Anime about a couple of assassins wrapped up in trouble with Les Soldats. Smooth, realistic action. Lovely musical scores. I've yet to finish the series (I think it was around 20-30 episodes), but intend on doing so when I get back to Kadena.

Chobits. I've only seen the first episode, so my judgement on this is a little less thourough. If the rest of the series is as funny(or funnier) than the first, then this should be a great series. Seen some perverted humor from the main character.

Full Metal Alchemist. If you haven't watched it, change that now. Lots of action, some strange pseudo-science, and lots of good times to be had. Animation is smooth and pleasant.

Detective Conan. This is a pure mystery anime. I find it to be mentally intriguing with a nice storyline along with it. Sadly, I haven't seen how/if it's finished out yet, but I did get a few dozen episodes in. Has it's funny moments, and has it's serious moments.

FLCL. Fooly Cooly. Oh god, how to start....Lesse...Less than 10 episodes, random as all high-hell, bloody brilliant music and atmosphere, and packed full of good action and comedy. Everyone should see this anime, just to say "wtf?" after it's over. And it's short, so not much time to lose by checking it out.

Trigun. Shoot'em up action and fun. Quirky main character with a past, and even more hilarity. This is a nice mixture of action/comedy. Highly recommend.

Hellsing. Need I say anymore? Okay, fine. Dark vampire anime. Bloody, fun, and just wonderful. Sometimes this guy puts out some good one liners. Oh, and the phrase he wants "police girl" to remember....XD

Dragonball Z. Just kidding. Avoid it like the plague :P

[Regulus Tera]

Chobits. I've only seen the first episode, so my judgement on this is a little less thourough. If the rest of the series is as funny(or funnier) than the first, then this should be a great series. Seen some perverted humor from the main character.

It isn't. The filler:plot-worthy episodes ratio in this one is like 8:1. Go read the manga if you're interested in it.

[Victus]

Guess that teaches me to judge a book by it's covers. I have some episodes on my external HD. Guess I'll watch 10 and then make a judgement. But then again, I'm easy to please, I mean, I love Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh

[EVILNess]

Detective Conan. This is a pure mystery anime. I find it to be mentally intriguing with a nice storyline along with it. Sadly, I haven't seen how/if it's finished out yet, but I did get a few dozen episodes in. Has it's funny moments, and has it's serious moments.


HAHAHAHAHA, erm sorry.

Detective Conan never ends. I think the poison really killed him and he is is some kind of purgatory hell where he is 10 forever, because he was poisoned like 10 years ago already.

[FenrisWolf]

Azumanga Daioh.

Azumanga Daioh.

Azumanga Daioh.

Azumanga Daioh.

[Eltargrim]

Hey, RT. The Daughter of Twenty Face ep 21 is out. 'bout fucking time.

[Regulus Tera]

Please tell me Ep. 22 will be out soon. I'm not bothering with a months-long cliffhanger again.

[Eltargrim]

Beats me. Your guess is as good as mine. I can dig the cliffhanger, though; I watch BSG, for gods sake.

[Victus]

Azumanga Daioh.

Azumanga Daioh.

Azumanga Daioh.

Azumanga Daioh.
Assuming from your avatar, I take it you love Azumanga Daioh too? =P

[FenrisWolf]

Assuming from your avatar, I take it you love Azumanga Daioh too? =P

You could say that.

[Regulus Tera]

Hey Fenris I've never watched Azumanga can you tell me why should I? Honest question please don't ban me.

[Victus]

Because it's hilarious. Pure hilarity.

[NonCon]

RT, I'd say just watch a couple and see if you like it, because they're all the same.

[Tev]

Anyone else seen Black Blood Brothers? I watched it a while back and it has cemented its place just under Vampire Hunter D near the top of my list of Vampiric style anime that I enjoy.

The little brother Vampire reminds me of a mini-Qatra from Gundam Wing. Seriously, it looks like they shrank him down and gave him fangs.

[Victus]

On the note of vampires, I haven't seen the anime to it yet, but the manga to Vampire Knight isn't too bad. I've certainly enjoyed it.

[Eltargrim]

Hey, RT! No cliffhanger!

[FenrisWolf]

Hey Fenris I've never watched Azumanga can you tell me why should I? Honest question please don't ban me.

Because it's hilarious. Pure hilarity.
Pretty much this, it's hilarious, and it's a nice break from the standard, "HERE'S A BAD GUY LET'S KILL 'IM" anime you see a lot. This is kinda like Peanuts on LSD.

So, y'know, if you like Schultz's "Slice of life" story and LSD, you'd like Azumanga.
RT, I'd say just watch a couple and see if you like it, because they're all the same.

Kinda true but the characters do evolve and really if you enjoy the show and the cast be prepared for one of the most moving endings to a series ever.

[EVILNess]

Osaka really is one of the more creepy anime characters out there too. Well, not all the time... but she sure has some moments.

[Jagos]

Chobits. I've only seen the first episode, so my judgement on this is a little less thourough. If the rest of the series is as funny(or funnier) than the first, then this should be a great series. Seen some perverted humor from the main character.

This series could have been a great action series and longer because of it. Instead it goes the route of romance and (&^&s up the entire series with a Big Bad out of left field that's nothing more than a wall banger...

(I really have to stop looking at Tvtropes)

Hellsing. Need I say anymore? Okay, fine. Dark vampire anime. Bloody, fun, and just wonderful. Sometimes this guy puts out some good one liners. Oh, and the phrase he wants "police girl" to remember....

I didn't finish this series... Did Gainax ever finish the fight between Alucard and Neo or whomever was the other really evil vamp?

[Victus]

Have to say I'm not too far yet. I need to get more of the manga, as I'm only a few volumes in ;_;

[Possum Knight]

I didn't finish this series... Did Gainax ever finish the fight between Alucard and Neo or whomever was the other really evil vamp?

Well, the series did end, but people were upset with it because it didn't get even close to the manga as far as pure awesomeness and story.

So, they made Hellsing Ultimate which sticks to the manga to it like bear to honey. The last bad guy in Hellsing was stupid and didn't deserve the slot. Hopefully the OVAs will prove to be much better.

[grthwllms]

Hey Fenris I've never watched Azumanga can you tell me why should I? Honest question please don't ban me.

You know, I've tried. I really have. I've started writing this post about six times and I just can't freaking figure out why I love Azumanga Daioh.

OH WAIT. YES I CAN.

I LOVE IT CAUSE ITS FREAKING AWESOME SO GO WATCH IT.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0tTTGH4Xi4

Edit:

I suddenly realized why I love this show above overs of its type.

NORIO WAKAMOTO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69A3aL3Yrs0&feature=related)

[Julford Hajime]

I read the Azumanga Daioh manga. It made me cry at the end, but that was probably more because I was fresh out of high school when I read the last book, and GODDAMN that last chapter hit too close to home.

I always start watching the anime, and then forget to keep watching it after the first session. I've seen the first three episodes like three times now, because I refuse to pick an anime up from the midway point, even if the plot is non-existant.

As for other animes I like to recommend...

Love Hina, if you like Harem style animes. This is the show that got me BACK into animes after going into my "Everything I liked as a kid was lame" phase that made me hate DBZ and all other anime (I got better). Basically, Keitaro is a loser who became the manager of an all-girls dorm, with three of the tenants being close to his age, and the other two tenants being in middle school, and all five wanting to get into his pants. Don't worry though; besides mild fanservice (At least compared to the manga >.>), Keitaro never does anything. Like, at all. They needed two movies and a three-episode OVA series just to catch up to the part of the manga where he actually got something accomplished in his life.

Chobits was... interesting. The ending confused the hell out of me, but the first dozen episodes were fun. The problem is that it tries to drop the plot on you in the last six episodes or so, after all the other parts of the story did nothing but vaguely hint at Chii's dark and broody past. And then all the comedy dies and a part of your soul dies with it.

Chrono Crusade; depends on whether or not you can tolerate a boring as all fuck middle arc. I've hailed this series as having the most tear-jerking ending sequence I've ever seen, but CHRIST getting to it can be an uphill battle. The main characters are likable enough, but they get stuck fighting battle after battle in the middle of the series, which is something it cannot do all that well. The character interactions is what kept me going through the series, despite it being marketed as an action anime. The manga, oddly enough, delivers VERY well on both fronts, handles the ending completely differently (With an even MORE tear-jerking ending), but turns it into a save-the-world dealio. All in all, the manga is superior, but the anime should be watched as well.

I'm a big fan of Gundam, but that's because I grew up salivating at the prospect of piloting robots, and discovering the original Gundam series (And it's immediate sequel, Zeta Gundam) grabbed the part of me that loved robots as a kid and kept me hostage. If you like drama with a hint of robot goodness, Gundam is for you.

[synkr0nized]

AD is one of those shows that even anime fans of different genres and with various tastes can still get together and enjoy, agreeing that it's a good time. There's a reason why it exploded all over the place when it came out.

I suppose I should take my own implied advice from above and apply it to TGL, but I have difficulty liking it. But I digress, that is a topic I don't need to visit again.

I could spew out some additional choices, but I've grown to just enjoy what I enjoy and let others go hitherto spreading anime joy.

[Regulus Tera]

I just have two words regarding that:

http://i40.tinypic.com/etcwus.jpg

TAIGA PUNCH

Very very glad to see the budget is back. It felt like a GAINAX episode all the time.

I don't think there's much to say besides the usual. God these guys know how to pull all the emotional punches. THEY BETTER FULFILL THEIR SABISU PROMISE FOR NEXT EPISODE.

Regarding the ending to Nijuu Mensou no Musume, augh. I really want to watch it, but those hiatuses all over the series make it a burn to pick myself up to go get it. This better be good.

EDIT: I never thought I'd say this, but Studio Shaft surpassed the Picardwtfisthisshit.jpg-level they set in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei with Maria+Holic's opening (http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/maria%2Bholic%2Bopening/video/x8128s_maria-holic-opening_shortfilms).

[NonCon]

Afro Samurai: Resurrection (http://www.spike.com/full-episode/exclusive-premiere/29787) available to legally watch on Spike.com! Fuck yeah!

Note: Afro Samurai is a pretty graphic, though fucking awesome show. If you aren't prepared to handle gallons of blood, don't watch.

[Eltargrim]

Regarding the ending to Nijuu Mensou no Musume, augh. I really want to watch it, but those hiatuses all over the series make it a burn to pick myself up to go get it. This better be good.

Eh. It worked.

I am like 5 episodes behind on ToraDora shame shame shame.

I did, however, catch the latest Candy Boy. Incestuous high school twin yuri that's actually done well? What the fuck?

As to Maria Holic, I still maintain that the first Goku SZS opening trumps MH's. Still pretty wacky, though. It might top Pani Poni Dash's, but that's a maybe.

[synkr0nized]

You are only just now getting it? Fail.

Marathon watch it. It's fun. I love boxed sets because of this. I just finished doing it with like 4 seasons of The Next Generation.

Marathon watch it. It's fun. I love boxed sets because of this. I just finished doing it with like 4 seasons of The Next Generation.

I tend to miss class and work when I get a new show to watch coupled with the ability to watch it all right now. I watched 49 episodes of GaoGaiGar in one sitting right after I watched all of Gurren Lagann. Then I watched like 4 episodes of Gad Guard before I collapsed in robot induced shock. A week later I watched the then current 5 seasons of NCIS in one sitting. I need to learn some restraint.

Still haven't finished Gad Guard though.

I ordered it after watching it 3 times for free on veoh. I figure that if something can hold my interest that long for free then it's probably worth a buy to support those who worked on something I enjoyed immensely. Considering I just recently rediscovered Azumanga, I feel I was rather timely in my Azumanga purchase, thank you very much!

I thought it was kinda nifty, not as nifty as the originals, but still a good listen.

Also, started watching Cowboy Bebop again. Not only is it better than I remembered, but also a lot sadder. The episode where Ed and Ein leave made me cry.

EDIT: RT, does this make up for the rap version? Bure Shoujo VER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jmWfLKkLpw&fmt=18) Sounds pretty much like the original, but with some more emphasis on the female voices.

MOAR EDIT: I think one of my favorite things about Paprika is the relationships. Especially between the main chick and the fat guy. The fat guy is awesome.
