| Got something you want to randomly say, say it here, or whatever. This is similar to the anime thoughts thread I made on AN, but instead of just limited it to anime, I'd like to extend it out to Manga, and talk about the AN forums in general. Try to keep it appropriate though. And don't use it as a place to badmouth the mods or admins either. My thoughts: KimiNozo was good stuff, can't wait for the OVA to get released to see the alternate ending. Also, Code Geass! Pizza Hut! |
| Damn you, I was going to make this thread because I was bored. Oh well. Random thought: why is Seirei no Moribito only on like...two or three lists in the club? Get watching, people. Random thought: why didn't MADHOUSE finish Claymore right? ;_; |
| Seirei no Moribito was great stuff....KimiNozo not my type :p I was wondering really...why i have so much difference in the oldies in my list with the other members -.- I wish i could talk with someone about my 'ancient' anime :p edit:Also:Why the club maker doesnt rate his anime ? :p |
 |
| Well, I don't really like to put a distinct value on things. Then I have to decide whether I'm rating things fairly or not. Example? Burst Angel and Dragonaut. Both are utterly horrible, piece of crap shows. They're also guilty pleasures for me. So where do I rank them? Low, or high? Since I'm borderline OCD and quite definitely anal-retentive, if I ranked any significant number of titles, I'd need to rank them all (sort of an all or none thing). Usually I prefer people ask me about series, or focus on my viewing habits from the list, rather than look at the ratings and say "oh, such and such person likes this anime, he's weird" or the opposite, or...you get the idea. I'm odd, I know. |
| What is worse is that Seirei no Moribito lost to Clannad for animation in the animesuki awards lol Now i like Clannad but lets compare the tomoyo fight with the jiguro spear fight... lol Seirei no Moribito (i love the comment someone made a little down the page: "This is the shit!!! If only the latest naruto fights could be like this :D") rotfl Clannad (spectator view FTW tho lol ) |

| LMAO the latest Naruto fights,eh? xD No,seriously,i have seen a lot shows with good animetion,but Seirei no Moribito comes first.Shows like Clannad or Kanon might be great,but they dont show so much from animetion(enviroment pictures,grass,mountains,rocks,etc) |
| |
| With all the drama around me, sometimes i feel like i am in some crappy drama anime. : That or a bad jerry springer episode. I don't even get the benefit of moe girls or super powers or sparkling miracles :P |
|
| Hmm hope they keep subbing True Tears (and i guess shigofumi)...no way im gonna buy a 2 ep dvd (I wouldn't even rent one...that would just tick me off lol) |
|
| True Tears will get subbed out the wazoo, since everyone and their mother wants to watch it (it's harem or something to that effect, instant popularity). I'm more worried about Shigofumi, since it took so long to get started. Less worried when I think about how many groups picked it up after the first, but still. EDIT: D.Gray-man is another one. It might get licensed by Funi, it's their type of show. The problem with that? Both the current subbers, Black-Order and Shinsen, would stop (Shinsen only because they've had trouble with Funi in the past). So I'd be out of subs for that one, no idea if anyone else would really sub it. There's other groups, but they're still in the mid twenties, and 68 aired this week, IIRC. |
| ef -a tale of memories is a good show, but there just isn't anything about it that has yet to grab me. Good music, great animation and a nice variety of characters, but just nothing to pull me in and get me too interested in this show. It's teetering between a 6 and a 7 in my book. |
| It gets vastly better near the end. At first i was bleh about it but about 3/4 in they turned it up a bit. Oh and i like your sig pic :) |
DazarGaidinJan 30, 2008 9:19 PM
|
| And you're correct, it went from a 6/7 to an 8 at the end. Ah, good stuff. My mini-review is at AN in the Anime Completed thread, as always. Day 2 of 6 is over, finished Code Geass and ef - a tale of memories. I'll start Minami-ke in about an hour, and try to get at least 4 episodes in before bed, while download Blue Drop. So far, so good. 3 Shows, all 3 have been Very Good, you really can't ask for more than that from a marathon is you're getting constant enjoyment. |
| El Hazards pretty good, Jinnai cracked me up a few times in ep 3. |
| Jinnai has such a legendary laugh. |
| Which El Hazard show did you like the best, I looked up your list and every single one got a 7. |
| I really like all of El Hazard. I usually hand out a 7 to shows that are very enjoyable to watch, yet don't do anything ground breaking. Most people seem to like The Magnificent World most of all, but I've always found Alternative World to be the best. Barely anyone would agree with me on that. All of them are good. You get three OVAs that continue where the last left off and the Wanderers that did a good job retelling the whole story in a slightly different way. Some people don't like the TV series as much because they think it's more on the kiddy side compared to the OVAs. There is some truth to that, though it did a really good job at developing some of the characters the OVAs didn't get enough time to work with. El Hazard is a fun feel good series. |
| The song from Fruits Basket, the opening, really makes me feel good listening to it. It's kinda weird..never had the same feeling from music before. |
DazarGaidinJan 31, 2008 5:01 AM
|
| Yeah it has a very relaxing opening and I really need to see episode 7+ some day. Thanks Hisoka, I'll probably watch everything in the franchise sometime soon, I've enjoyed the first 4 eps of Wanderers a lot more than I thought I would. |

| Why is everyone so ready to punch someone else in the face on Zeta Gundam? Even for minor actions. They must have too much testosterone. |
Phantom said: Why is everyone so ready to punch someone else in the face on Zeta Gundam? Even for minor actions. They must have too much testosterone. Some of them deserve it *looks at Katz* Also, you have to love the Bright Slap, it's /m/'s Finishing Move. |
| It's because Zeta Gundam is immensely GAR and hitting other people is awesome. I mean, there's all kinds of anime about hitting people, after all. Zeta Gundam is just an evolution of the genre! XD Also: I hate everyone who isn't watching Les Miserables. Only seven episodes have been subbed. I have to directly DL my eps (my college doesn't allow torrents and has haxxored their network so they don't run), and I found out like two days ago my sub of 06 was only half downloaded or something bizarre like that. But yeah, it's like the Cliff Notes for the novel, especially considering it'll take most people eight billion years to read through it. Not to mention Cosette is so cute and Fantine + her fellow working girls = hot. |
| Treize, I think you should hate every group that isn't working on Les Miserables instead. Staying on topic, I hate everyone that hasn't watched World Masterpiece Theater titles that have been subbed for years. *counts* That makes all of you! :P |
| I have heard of the Bright Slap. I'm only on episode 18 or so so i have yet to see it for myself but its quite famous on the net. Make sure you all watch Spice and Wolf. Episode 4 came out today so get downloading! |
| Gundam 00 just did 22k for it's first dvd this week, to put that into perspective the first weeks for Code Geass was36k and SEED Destiny was 56k. So I guess we can look forward to a 3rd season of Geass, and probably SEED as well... |
| Yes, because GSD is QUALITY, after all. Anyway, just finished Myself; Yourself, which may very well be the surprise of the marathon. I was expecting a good show, but I wasn't expecting it to be anything I'd love and add to my favorites. Speaking of which...shifting all of those images is gonna be a pain. |
| I really have no idea why GSD outsold the first series by such a large margin, especially with lower tv ratings. Since you like Myself;Yourself you should check out Kimikiss Pure Rogue when it's finished, same with True Tears. |
| Yeah Myself Yourself was surprisingly good, especially for a short anime that was just meant to promote the game. |
|
| No need to worry about a lack of Shigofumi subs, 4 just come out. Also I really want the ED single for Shigofumi by Snow, she did the Kimikiss first ed as well which was nice. |
| Naruto is shounen. Same story as every other shounen, just different details is all. Kids love it. Hell, I'm watching it. The only real difference is when the stories were released originally. Oh yeah, small edit: Prons, don't repeat Camille's mistake. I might not be on all the time, or even too often, as was evidenced by my lack of response, but I'll boot your ass faster than NASCAR drivers go in circles if you do. |

| I'm loving Sky Girls so damn much for reasons I can't really explain. But seriously: Cute Girls + Transformable Mecha = Win. |
| Small hard drives suck. My computer desk is overflowing with hand labeled DVDs. I need to pick up a couple of 1TB externals, maybe that will last me for the next few months. ^_^ |
 |
| You know, I've been thinking about picking up a 500GB external, since my current desktop's HDD is 250GB and I usually have it filled with only about 20GB free at the most at any given time (I've had as little as 100MB left before, too). How much do they cost? |
| Hmm i paid 120 i think altogether for mine. Its almost filled with anime already lol Tho my laptop only has a 60 gig drive :\ |
|
| They cost a lot. Why are you guys so obsessed with externals? Regular HDDs are much cheaper. Here in Israel I can pick up a 500gb HDD for as little as 150$, but it will cost about 250$ to get a 500gb external. Don't know about 1TB though, but it's logical to assume that the same comparison still stands. |
  |
| How come in the Fushigi Yuugi: Genbu Kaiden manga Takiko could |
 |
| Yeah I'm gonna get a regular 500 meg HD when I upgrade to ADSL 2 in March, can't believe it's taking them so fucking long to upgrade the network. Also I'm looking at some newtype polls somone on ANN is PMing me from August 07 to Feb 08, only seen Aug-Oct so far but damn Code Geass total domination and wtf @ SEED still being extremely popular.

| I honestly have no idea how anyone could ever send in a vote for Kira overthe awesomeness that is Lelouch yet somehow enough Japanese do it to make him 2nd place.

| I've also noticed this in Newtype the last couple of months. I'm always seeing what seems to be the same series: Code Geass Gundam SEED (and Destiny) Lucky Star Evangelion Those are the ones right off the top of my head. I don't think there's been a time when Eva [I]Hasn't been on the list. |
| |
| I just want my Geass Anime Legends set. I don't care enough to get the singles, since Bandai never has any bonuses. Not good ones, anyway. Now, TTGL, on the other hand...c'mon, ADV. Give us Kamina sunglasses. And then give us GARlock glasses. |
| Randam thought: Watching anime OP's at 5x speed is epic win. |
