Anime

[mkprovince]

Just finished watching Sakuraso no Pet na Kanojo. Nice to see a slice of life kind of anime once in a while.

[Cloe]

Watched a "Shaman King" episode today since in years and I couldn't think of anything but my childhood

 

Always loved this show, too bad it's long canceled.

[ds64]

Hm I'm thinking of watching the Zettai Karen Children series, not the unlimited one. Also is it any good?

Anyone know where I can download the full series in mp4?

 

try http://www.nyaa.se/,

or try  http://animestash.info/ (sometimes they have mp4 format)

[Koko.Hekmatyar]

I'm not sure why people want anime in MP4 format having done video encoding for anime I found the MKV format works best especially if you're doing 10 bit encoding instead of the old 8 bit.

No third party app required for most portable devices like phones and tablets for the most part, I think.

Well, since Beast Wars II and Neo are seemingly "too obscure" to be subbed completely, I am now out of Japanese Transformers to watch. I am... somewhat saddened by this.

 

Need to cheer up...

 

 

THAT'S BETTER!

Recently discovered Makoto Shinkai's works, gotta say WOW
Loved 5cm per second, garden of words, and children who chase lost voices (which is a very nice tribute to studio ghibli)
Is it weird that a dude would enjoy these slow paced, romantic movies?   
Meanwhile my friends are all watching hollywood action flicks (avengers, transformers, other movies I would deem junk)

Some time ago a friend recommened to me Naoki Urasawa's "Monster" ,a psychologial thriller. Really solid anime full of twists and tension. Now I rarely watch anime. . . maybe if there is a Monster 2 I'll start watching again hahah.

[Koko.Hekmatyar]

Any of you that have watched Sword Art Online read the Description for this new Show Log Horizon and tell Me it doesn't sound like a complete SAO rip off Anime.

 

• Elder Tales is an online fantasy RPG that has become popular worldwide. But when its twelfth expansion package, "Cultivate the Noosphere," is installed, thirty thousand players in Japan are trapped inside. Among them is grad student Shiroe, who isn't very good at interacting with others. But to survive in a world full of monsters, he forms a guild called "Log Horizon" with an eclectic group of other players.

Monster was good, but at ~80 episodes it was a marathon. Lost interest midway through and kept going. The ending was worth it but I seriously thought they could have focused more on the main plot and gotten through it in about half the number of episodes.

Sword art online was honestly the most overhyped piece of garbage I've ever had the displeasure of watching. No plot, generic cliche characters who don't show any form of development, blatant and sometimes just dumb fan-servicing, and pretty much showing everything that's wrong with anime today. So someone's decided to make another one of it? Dear god.... Reading that description, seems like they're not even trying to hide it. Might as well rename it to "The gain profits off SAO's success anime".

[Koko.Hekmatyar]

I think most liked it because it was done by the same person who did Accel World and had some cross over between the two shows. I can't say I didn't like SAO at times I enjoyed watching it others I got bored

I agree on this one. The first few episodes were promising, it had potential, then it just went downhill real fast, a shame really.

[Koko.Hekmatyar]

Lets face it 3/4 of the time the Anime studios never get them right. They take a completely awesome manga or Light Novel and make changes to it instead of just sticking to what is in the existing media.

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

So I'm watching Zoids: Fuzors, and I can see why only 13 episodes were shown on American TV; the fights are boring, the characters are dull and there's not even a hint of any kind of plot. I mean, at least with New Century Zero, the episodic nature was explained; they were a Zoid combat team, but even then there was an actual, clear antagonistic group with an agenda. Fuzors tries to have the combat team aspect... but then mixes in needless things like delivery service and relocating wild Zoids, all the while the only actual antagonist just appears to give the main character a hard time and seemingly wants to commit homicide for reasons that aren't explained as of yet.

 

The main concept of the series, fusing Zoids isn't even done very well either; it's literally just stacking one Zoid on top of another so far, yet this is somehow supposed to make them hundreds of times more powerful? And the worst thing is, they're using the Liger Zero and Berserk Fuhrer for the main characters Zoids right after New Century Zero rather than try and get some diversity from a line that has something like 200 different models.

 

It's a sad day when I can honestly say that I like watching a Bakugan series more than a Zoids series.

[Koko.Hekmatyar]

Try Zoids Genesis

[mkprovince]

When I first watched Swords Arts, I felt like it's a rip-off of .Hack actually...

[FallenWarrior]

Finished watching Tamayura: More Agressive and High School DxD New (not as good as the first season)

Been going back to watching all 4 seasons of Minami-ke (Comedy, Slice of life). Mostly because I'm having a blast watching them.

Next up on the to watch list will be Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetomo Omaera ga Warui

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

So I'm watching Bakugan: New Vestroia... and while I have issues with some of the dubbing in the form of some of the voices not fitting the characters at all, I have to say that the dialogue is actually pretty well done. It's funny, it almost never drags and there's very little in the way of groan inducing that tends to get into these types of anime.

 

I always wrote this stuff off as another lame >insert hobby/sport< anime, but it's surprisingly good.

No no no, it's not the dubbing, it's that you're watching it in a language other than Japanese.  

Also, if you weren't watching some generic card battle/creature fight/must get stronger/you killed my father/had sex with my mother/I have a small penis anime, you probably wouldn't mind the audio :-P  

Bakugon=Pokemon=Digimon=Not worth the attention span it takes to watch.

[Koko.Hekmatyar]

Infinite Stratos S2 just started airing 14 minutes ago can't wait to see what happens in this season.

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

New Vestroia was totally worth watching because it constantly tries to one up itself;

 

The first arc involves a trans-dimensional invasion force of warships and city ships that take over a planet, reduce the native intelligent species to little more than slaves who then battle for the pleasure of the masses and a terrorist group sneaking into the cities to free them.

 

The second arc involves a massive palace ship and a crazy exiled king and his son that dimension hop and whose purpose is genocide against the former slave species.

 

The third arc then becomes about giant combining robots, the palace turning into a massive dimension jumping weapon whose purpose is genocide on a universal scale as it can blow entire planets up. And then the last few episodes...

 

 

... where one loyal minions of the king and prince turn away because they don't want to commit genocide and the prince then kills two of them to try and earn his fathers praise and love. Which he never gets because the king is so crazy that when his plans are found out by his enemies, he tortures his son to the point where he goes insane for his failure. And when the genocide machine finally goes up in flames, he stops his fathers escape so that the two of them can die together.

Well, since Beast Wars II and Neo are seemingly "too obscure" to be subbed completely, I am now out of Japanese Transformers to watch. I am... somewhat saddened by this.

 

Need to cheer up...

stay away from japanese transformers, its fuckin retarded what they do with their side of the franchise and the timeline

 

(they killed TFprime to create a shitty series called Go!, and it sucks)

[FallenWarrior]

Well..... Looks like I have to put Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetomo Omaera ga Warui on hold. Been watching the first episodes of Freezing Vibration, Strike the Blood, Golden Time, Kyoukai no Kanata and the first two episodes of Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan)

[Kamen Rider Kuuga]

Just finished Zoids: Fuzors... and dear fucking god, that show was terrible. It went for nearly 20 episodes before getting a plot, and by that I mean back story that tried to pass as plot. The whole damn thing can be summed up as one big JUST AS PLANNED up until the big bad was beaten.

 

At first you think that the story would be focused around RD trying to find the legendary Zoid; nah, it barely comes up, then when you think it might happen, he just gives up after an episode of searching. Then you think it might be focused on the rivalry between RD and the physical incarnation of a douchebag named Blake; nah, the whole reason why Blake hates him isn't revealed until about 20 episodes in, and even then it's so stupid that you wonder why the fuck he had such a hate boner for killing the guy. So then you think maybe it's about the battles like New Century; nah, that factors into very few episodes.

 

The way it does turn out rivals Transformers: Robots in Disguise for stupid plotting, questionable writing and a pace that's as slow as continental drift for about 20 episodes, then picks up ever faster in the last 6 with a terrible pay off and the eternal question of why in the fuck this was ever made to begin with.

blame takara, they want a comedy TF while we want a grimdark TF

they wanted to turn Beast Wars into a comedy and even changed some things that it still pisses the western community(like airazor instead of being a chick its a little boy, and tigertron sounds like a pedocat)

 

japan didn't had the last season or the Predacons Rising movie because they went sentai shit again like headmasters(urrgh its horrible)
