Pretty much by accident, I stumbled upon a new anime that started airing on July 2nd, but already having lots of anime on my watching list, I decided not to start it. But then a friend on another forum made a topic about it, saying that it was stupid and a TTGL ripoff. At that point, I couldn't ignore it, and had to watch the first ep (which is all thats out right now) Well, I did watch it, and I can say with 100% sincerity that it DID NOT suck, and it was NOT a TTGL ripoff. Sure its really similar with its animation, characters, and epic amounts of GAR, but its different enough to not be a ripoff.

Anyway, that anime is Needless: http://myanimelist.net/anime/6030/Needless

Watch the first ep, and tell me that its not the most epicly intense anime you've ever seen.

Yeah it was just one ep, but it had more intensity in it than most animes have in its entire series

No worries you're doing good at English ^.^

I'n d/l it now to watch ... though I can point out that the 1st ep is crucial for an anime. If it can't snatch you on the 1st ep then the chance you'll keep watching goes down.

I won't have a firm conclusion off the 1st ep but it'll sure establish how I feel about watching the next one.

Well, it would seem like there's a lot of hate going around for this anime, mostly for no good reason. A lot of people say that it's a rip off of TTGL, but every smart person knows that's not true because the Needless manga came out quite a while before TTGL. (People need to do some goddammed research before they make outrageous claims)

But anyway, even though it was just the first ep, I had a lot of fun watching it, and any one who enjoys intensity enough to join this club should feel the same.

*kicks my comp* Well I had the 1st ep d/l with 2 other eps at the same time & I ended up with only the 1st half of all 3 so I'm re-doing the d/l one at a time & haven't gotten to Needless yet but am close.

What I've seen so far, I think its a great anime to watch. As for the whole TTGL rip-off crap ... I can see where they might hink that but then again I think its mainly due to seeing Kamina's shades re-colored has a lot to do with it. However even if they didn't do any research & they watched the 1st ep even halfway thru then theres no way in comparing it to TTGL at all. Needless is very very different.

Glad to see someone agrees with me. I though it was lots of high blood pressure fun, but a lot of people dont think so, and that must be because they're taking it to seriously. Really, if you try to have fun with it, its almost impossible not to.

So true Osaka ^.^ I especially liked that battle near the end ... that sold it for me. It was pretty good, bordering mediocre but when they showed that I couldn't look the other way. In all honestly I think its 1st ep is way better than TTGLs. I know ppl who after a couple eps quit watching TTGL but I think they'll enjoy Needless a helluva lot better.

ooo I can't wait Geisha ^.^ It is a really good watch, it doesn't disappoint at all.

I know, I wasn't very impressed with the first eps of TTGL either. I wasn't anywhere near dropping it, but it wasn't as good as all my friends insisted.

And while I agree that Needless' storyline wasn't very interesting, the fight scenes were rivaled by none. As long as they have more of those, then I know Im gonna love Needless.

I think either ep1 or ep2 of TTGL, I laughed like crazy when Yoko 1st appeared ^.^ It was so funny with the dialogue between her & Kamina ... it may only be me who thinks so but anywho lol
Sadly TTGL didn't start getting good til ep8 when
I both hated & loved that ep >.>

Honestly I think Needless did great in establishing its story line to be the 1st ep & having a great battle too. Not many animes have been able to pull that off perfectly yet. So I have to give it props in trying & doing well at it.
Oh I so hope that they stick to such great fight scenes cuz I think thats whats gonna make it a great anime in the long run but guess we'll have to wait & see if the mess it up at some point XD

Moment of truth is finally here ^.^ I'm d/l ep2 now

**ep2 watched ^.^ Honestly I have to say that the storyline was better, the fight was awesome (not as good as the one in ep1), & great job characterizing the enemy this round. Unsure how I feel about the preview of ep3 but still gonna watch it.

Finally all I have gots to say about this anime is ... WTF is that ending suppose to be o.0 it is so far from being relevant to the anime that I think somehow they screwed up & put the wrong ending to this anime >.< I shall never understand it ~sigh~
