Title: Anime
Post by: KevinsLunchbox on January 10, 2012, 07:55:49 PM
Howdy WG!

I was wondering if we have any people who watch Anime. If so, what anime have you watched? What did you like? What didn't you like? Opinions, thoughts, and ideas, let talk about all that stuff. Also I highly suggest to make an account on Myanimelist.com. Heres my profile.

http://myanimelist.net/profile/KevinsLunchbox (http://myanimelist.net/profile/KevinsLunchbox)

You can track what anime you've watched, what you're currently watching and what you plan to watch. Same with Manga, and you can read reviews and stuff, its really cool. I'm not trying to advertise it I just think its really easy to keep track of what you've watched and stuff.

As for my favorite anime ever, I'd have to do with Oreimo but Ouran HSHC is a close second. I'll probably start watching Nichijou soon.  I'm currently in the middle of reading the Oreimo manga but its kinda boring since I know whats going to happen :p Have fun chatting.

Yeah you got me beat lol. My signature is from "Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai" which translates to "My Little Sister Cant Be This Cute". Its my all time favorite, called "Oreimo" for short or something.

I'm mostly into manga now (very rarely watch anime atm, though I've been tempted to pick up F/Z) right now I'm reading Dragon Head.

Also most of the chapters and stuff on my list aren't up to date, cause I can't be bothered. I'm pretty much caught up on everything.

Lol! That character doesn't appear until the third episode. Also how is it fan service exactly? Like I hear the term but I'm not entirely sure what is means. Like I know what fan service is like when I was playing Final Fantasy X-2 there was an entire scene where the characters were in a hot spring that had absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the game, thats fan service.

Oh it's good - It's one of those legendary Animes that you have to watch the next episode or you kill yourself lol.

By far the most legendary Anime I've watched is Steins; Gate - I just could not get enough, it was SOOOOOOOO ****ing good. I remember having uni the next day but I bunked off the whole day just to watch that Anime through the night, I just couldn't stop clicking the next episode, the most enjoyable Anime by far.

But I will watch it again soon when I get time.

The Boondocks is an anime? I didn't know that. Like literally, I never thought of it as an anime but I cant help but laugh at the humor in that show. I think its just so great.

I just finished watching Rosario + Vampire... If you ignore the over abundance of fan service, (it gets horribly bad in the second season) it was strangely endearing in a way. I still hear the dialogue of "Moka-San, Tsukune, Moka-San, Tsukune" in my head. It had a really catchy intro for the second season. Kind of disco meets trance..

I'm currently watching/downloading Fairy Tale, that I was told by another soldier was an amazing anime. I'm about 15 episodes into it, and it's ok. I can't say I'm overly impressed. The characters are pretty bland, and the humor really doesn't suit me. . But it's like 120 episodes, and I have nothing better to do with my time...

I've watched so many anime series this deployment. I can't even remember them all..

I recommend reading the second season of this in manga. They show Moka-San's other two older sisters, Tsukune actually uses his vampire powers, and they included a new enemy organization that is trying to eliminate the human race (Which gives Tsukune more of a reason to train and hone his skills as part Vampire). The series is still continuing so the manga isn't even finished yet, this was my first manga I've read (On the computer) and I thought it was a lot better then the 2nd season.

Link to the summary of the manga: http://myanimelist.net/manga/3403/Rosario+Vampire_Season_II (http://myanimelist.net/manga/3403/Rosario+Vampire_Season_II)

On a side note, I've watched aloot of anime over my time, literally just to pass the time (I sound old  O_o). I'll try to create a list of them all, but im expecting it to be over 50 titles...

I'm not sure if you'd like it Brent but I suggest Toradora as well. I liked it but basically like the first part of the series with a couple good scenes through out the rest. Later the way the characters interact with each would literally make me squirm because it was so bad. Overall I enjoyed watching it though.

I honestly teared up a little when Naruto met his Mom.  :'(

There are things I don't like about the series, but after following it for years... guess I've gotten more than just a little bit attached to it.

Anyway, I've forgotten my AnimeList password, and I have no idea how to recover it, so I'll be doing this the old fashioned way.  :wtf:

Air Gear
Bakemonogatari
Bakuman
Basilisk
Berserk
Black Lagoon
Blame! (OVA)
Bleach
Canaan
Claymore
D.Gray-Man
Deadman Wonderland
DeathNote
Dogs: Bullets & Carnage (OVA)
Elfen Lied
Ergo Proxy
Eve no Jikan
Fairy Tail
Fate/Stay Night
First Squad (OVA)
FLCL
Full Metal Panic
Ga-Rei: Zero
Ghost in the Shell
Gosick
Guilty Crown (currently airing)
Gunslinger Girl
Haibane Renmei
Hellsing
Higashi no Eden: Eden of the East
Hikaro no Go
Ima, Soko ni Iru Boku: Here and There, Then and Now
Kara no Kyōkai: The Garden of Sinners
Karas (OVA)
Mirai Nikki
Monster
Mushishi
Naruto
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Nisemonogatari (currently airing, sequel to Bakemonogatari)
Pale Cocoon (OVA)
Rozen Maiden
Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen
Samurai Champloo
Serial Experiments Lain
Soul Eater
Tenjou Tenge
Texhnolyze
Trinity Blood
Wolf's Rain

That'll do for my top 50.

I'm a bit obsessed with Guilty Crown right now, it's fantastic how they spent most of the first half of the season meticulously setting up tons of classic anime tropes just to blow them up in your face; it's like no episode can end on a happy note, ever. They're also actually putting the main character through some incredibly harsh character development. Like, personality-altering. He started as Shinji, then became Luke Skywalker, then Darth Vader, then King Lear, and now... perhaps he just became one of the most awe-inspiring male lead heroes of any anime ever? He definitely had a keen look in his eye at the end of episode 18 after...[SPOILER]...he got over having his arm cut off and all his powers stolen by the man he once idolized as being the perfect leader.[/SPOILER]

Bit of a teaser, all the clips are from the first episode so it's not much of a spoiler.

[EVS] Lessons Learned .. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhPjZOKSptQ#ws)
Also loving every second of Nisemonogatari, even went back and rewatched Bakemonogatari. Thrilled that Kizumonogatari is getting a movie.

Nisemonogatari - 'Courage' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTzMCwWYr_I#ws)
... if you can survive all the loli...

Nisemonogatari Episode 4 - Araragi & Shinobu Bath Clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmHVeim-xNs#ws)
I think this is technically a harem anime, although he's only going out with one of them.

Might add some manga later.  ;)

Forgot [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control. Completely weird, but strangely compelling anime.

Liked it a lot. The basics are that there's a sort of game under each country's economy. Players cash in their "future" and it's translated into game money, which can also be used in the real world. Your future also manifests as a creature you use to battle against others in the game. The entire system is monetarily based, you invest during a battle by authorizing your creature (pretty loose term, since most are humanoid-ish and completely sentient) to use attacks.

But there's a catch. Losses in the game hit you in reality, by changing reality.

Sure you'll have less money, since you lost. But you're not just gambling with your money, but your future, dated from when you started playing the game. You could leave a loss to find out you never had the job you had the day before, or you were never married even though you just celebrated your 10th anniversary. Or your children might simply... disappear from your life, completely unremembered by anyone else but you.

And if the game gets too unbalanced... the damage becomes more than personal. Entire countries could be wiped out like they never existed, or the contagion could spread to games underpinning foreign economies, whirlpooling them into the destruction. It's a fascinating, albeit heavy-handed, concept that'd aimed pretty squarely at how much our reality is so completely dependent on such an arbitrarity as money.

Neat characters and engaging battles with a curious plot and a fascinating, utilitarian villain. The ending is a massive cliffhanger, though.

It'll give you goosebumps after what's been happening in Europe.  -.^

My all time favourites would be Gundam 00 and Seed. I recently watched Code Geass, watched 50 episodes (16+ hrs)(both seasons) in less than 48 hours XD
I also watch Fairy Tail, Bleach and Naruto though I've heard the latter 2 are gonna end in summer :c
High School DxD seems pretty funny too so I've been watching that too. Overall, I've watched so much anime I don't even remember the names =P

I really like the anime, I forget the name, where there is that one plucky good-looking hero who never gives up despite everyone's misgivings of him. He's surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women who inevitably fall in love with him when he does some selfless act of service (because it only takes one). Of course, he is completely oblivious to it all and continues doing his thing, which leads to many comical situations. There won't be any real plot in this anime, but the blatant fan service and appeal to the male demographic will drive it forward.

Or that one anime where there is a random schoolgirl that for some arbitrary reason has magical powers that transports her to a magical/alternate realm where she will meet a native guy that is not only really hot, but willing to risk everything to defend a girl he just met (thinking with the wrong head, mayhaps?). She will start out weak, but thanks to some random gimmick (can tell the future, make awesome sandwiches, awakens hiddens powers etc), she will come into her own and discover a bit about herself. Would-be viewers will draw inevitable parallels and will be invigorated to improve themselves as well; this will last as long as it takes for them to leave the gym they just joined on whim.

Or wait...what about the one with giant robots where the plucky headstrong hero yells his attacks a lot? I love that one!

Or wait...what about that one where the plucky headstrong hero yells his attacks a lot? That one is pretty cool too. I really like how all his allies stand around waiting for a 1v1 each encounter...fate of the world be damned. Also it takes like ten episodes until he decides to fight all out/be inspired by tragic loss/flashbacks to occur...

Yum.

I really like the anime, I forget the name, where there is that one plucky good-looking hero who never gives up despite everyone's misgivings of him. He's surrounded by a bevy of beautiful women who inevitably fall in love with him when he does some selfless act of service (because it only takes one). Of course, he is completely oblivious to it all and continues doing his thing, which leads to many comical situations. There won't be any real plot in this anime, but the blatant fan service and appeal to the male demographic will drive it forward.

Or that one anime where there is a random schoolgirl that for some arbitrary reason has magical powers that transports her to a magical/alternate realm where she will meet a native guy that is not only really hot, but willing to risk everything to defend a girl he just met (thinking with the wrong head, mayhaps?). She will start out weak, but thanks to some random gimmick (can tell the future, make awesome sandwiches, awakens hiddens powers etc), she will come into her own and discover a bit about herself. Would-be viewers will draw inevitable parallels and will be invigorated to improve themselves as well; this will last as long as it takes for them to leave the gym they just joined on whim.

Or wait...what about the one with giant robots where the plucky headstrong hero yells his attacks a lot? I love that one!

Or wait...what about that one where the plucky headstrong hero yells his attacks a lot? That one is pretty cool too. I really like how all his allies stand around waiting for a 1v1 each encounter...fate of the world be damned. Also it takes like ten episodes until he decides to fight all out/be inspired by tragic loss/flashbacks to occur...

Yum.

Be right back. Going to do a training montage with an random old person so that I can go back and impressively beat the person that outclassed me before.

I had a single thought while watching Guilty Crown: Rebirth (Atonement) (http://www.funimation.com/guilty-crown/episode/rebirth-atonement/sub):

FUCKING YES!

Slightly predictable and somewhat contrived, but still an epic step leading towards the finale.

This was supposed to be Tenjou Tenge.

Couldn't remember the name so I googled a few things and the picture for Ikki Tousen looked similar.

But it's not.  :wtf:

So I randomly found a manga the other night, and ended up reading all 14 volumes in one sitting.

Anxiously waiting for volume 15 to be scanlated.

It's called Kokou no Hito (http://www.mangareader.net/kokou-no-hito), "An Isolated Man." It's about an intensely solitary high schooler who takes up mountain climbing after another student dares him to climb the side of the school building. As far as the manga goes, that was about 20 years ago. Almost immediately the story is intensely tragic, with several main characters dying in mountaineering accidents throughout the course of the manga.

And most of the people who survive are... well, dicks. Especially his old classmates.

(http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/3208/kokounohito2181651.jpg)

The main character, Mori Buntarou, eventually makes a name for himself by becoming an accomplished solo mountain climber.

While it's all highly dramatized (think House M.D. compared to your average doctor), this series is also intensely no-bullshit. And the vistas are stunning.

(http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/9126/kokounohito2228781.jpg)

I don't know if anyone involved in the series is an actual mountain climber, but they've obviously done an incredible amount of work researching it.

It reminds me a lot of Monster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_%28manga%29), and other very no-nonsense, psychologically-driven mangas. I'm pretty sure volume 15 is going to be the last one, and I'm petrified because I'm afraid they're going to kill Mori while he's climbing K2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2) (even in reality, K2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K2) has a vicious mortality rate: 1 reported death on average for every 4 climbers who successfully reach the summit; it's the second highest, and second deadliest, mountain in the world behind Mount Everest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Everest) and Annapurna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annapurna), respectively). I don't want to drop any more spoilers, but it's an incredible story and I highly recommend it.

It's not all about the climbing, either. The stories involving his old classmates, and the woman he falls in love with, are beautifully done.

... and incredibly heartrending, at times.

If it gets a legitimate English translation it'll easily be one of the handful of mangas I've actually purchased.

Kind of a bummer how long you have to wait after a series is over for the truly incredible AMVs to start appearing.

This one's probably the second best for Guilty Crown I've seen so far (there's a spoiler or two, you're warned).

First best being the one I posted on page two, which is spoiler-free past the first episode.

Oh yeah I remember watching the first episode or two of Guilty Crown.
I'm such an impatient whore lol, I don't like waiting until the series gets good I like the first episode grabbing me & throwing me into everything like Steins Gate did.

I'll probably have to watch the rest later if it's so good =D

Talking of Steins;Gate.

I'm a bit more mellow about Guilty Crown than I was while it was airing, I don't think it's one I'll be buying or rewatch exactly. It was good, though.

Also had someone talk me into watching Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which completely blew me away.

So if you like FLCL, find/watch Diebuster (also known as Gunbuster 2).

It's FLCL in space.
