It's piloted by the soul of a dead elf, what do you expect?

[ultama121]

I just finished Higurashi (that anime that I've been talking about in my previous posts). All I have to say is that this is probably one of my new favorite animes. It has a very strong and rather compelling story. Loved it.

Edit: Just checked a little of the dub out... ok... everyone who has the slightest urge to watch the dub... don't... aside from atleast 1 or 2 characters, the voices don't fit the characters at all.

DUB FAIL.

[ultama121]

Needs moar bump.

Watching Neon Genesis Evangelion.

:awesome:

How are the Japanese so good at unintentional rape?

[TeeKup]

Cause they're Japanese, the need no explanation.

[Jelly]

Enjoy your character development episodes >_>

[ultama121]

Do you mean that negatively? If so... er why? What's so bad about character development? It allows for further story expansion, which is usually a good thing. I'm on Ep 17 now so I think I've experienced atleast a few of those episodes before and I can't say that the anime has bored me.

[LlamaMaster]

Just finished the elfen lied manga. I don't even know if I need to spoiler this.

That was fucking terrible. Time after time the author betrays the reader by bringing the "dead" back to life. No, when somebody "dies", I want them to stay the fuck out of the rest of the story.

Sexual shit, it sucked. Ok, yes, it was consistently funny for a while, but you killed it you perverted asshole. There's only so much fanservice you can stuff it one series without the reader loseing all respect. Sorry, but I'd rather not see nana/nyu/yuka/mayu naked every other chapter.

Jesus Christ, the girls are fucking pussys. Must nana cry every chapter? It's bad enough that they cry constantly without reason, but if they are so damn emo, they shouldn't have unaturally happy highs.

Generic anime garbage. The first half or so of the series was pretty good at avoiding that, but later on it gets completely fucktarded. Hurrr, my horns grew spontaneously!! Hurr, I'm a giant mutant!! Hurr, imma tank running off of organs!!

So basically, first half, awesome; second half, lame.

[ultama121]

IMO Elfen Lied sucks... period. All I see is gore, nudity, awful dialogue, and an ok storyline.

Also... Elfen Lied was made by a woman... yeah... Lynn Okamato.

[Jelly]

I do mean it negatively: an Anime about giant fighting robots really shouldn't have an unwilling unstable male main character. The only real reason it managed to stretch to 26(I think?) episodes is because of Shinji's crying about everything, otherwise it could have been done in half that.

Also the ending is :gonk:
You'll be like "What? Did I miss something?" BUT YOU DIDN'T MISS SOMETHING.

[legionaire45]

I read through Elfin Lied only for the sheer shock factor of it all. That got a bit boring about half way through. Lol, at least now I have some semi-decent CS sprays of people being ripped apart.

Last Exile people: o/

[ultama121]

Also the ending is :gonk:
You'll be like "What? Did I miss something?" BUT YOU DIDN'T MISS SOMETHING.

AW SHIT. I hate those kind of endings. I love it so much so far that having a :gonk: ending would be like a giant crotch punch.

[ultama121]

Oh my God... I'm almost done with Neon Genesis... (I'm on ep 23 now) this is one of the most deep animes... ever... the episodes are starting to get really trippy and creepy. The last thing I'll say is... HOLY SHIT.

[TeeKup]

Was Unit 01 going batshit crazy on that angel not awesome? :awesome:

[Lateksi]

I was kinda like wtf when it started to eat the angel. I love Evangelion and it's one of the best animes I've watched. I finished it like 3 ago I think :)
You guys should watch the movies too, those might light up something.

[ultama121]

Was Unit 01 going batshit crazy on that angel not awesome? :awesome:
HELLS YEAH.

I didn't really predict the main character's sexuality though... I wanted him to end up with one of the girls or something, mb he's bi or something, I mean there's an entire manga based on that alternate universe in ep 26. That is of course another love triangle manga. Of course... I haven't finished the anime though... NOBODY SPOIL ME IF MY PREDICTIONS ARE WRONG. (I've only watched up to 24 and heard about the alternate universe in 26 so yeah)


Finished it. Wasn't a bad ending... thought it was a bit strange, but I thought it was tied in a neat bow.

[LlamaMaster]

2 episodes into FLCL. The very least I can say is....WHAT THE FUCK? In a good way though, it's deep....I think. Idk, I guess I like it because it's so different.

[ultama121]

Haven't tried it... saw a little of the dub but I haven't really finished it.

[Corgy]

[Jelly]

I agree with Corgy.

By far the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

[TeeKup]

FLCL is :awesome:

[ultama121]

Just watched the first 5 minutes of end of Evangelion...

WHAT THE HELL, EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO SHOW CUM IN ANIME. THAT'S HENTAI MATERIAL. WTF.

[LlamaMaster]

That's Japan for ya, they will cum all over the place on TV, but GOD FORBID they show a penis in their porn.

Wait, shit, I shouldn't know that. :phonegonk:

[TeeKup]

Just watched the first 5 minutes of end of Evangelion...

WHAT THE HELL, EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO SHOW CUM IN ANIME. THAT'S HENTAI MATERIAL. WTF.

WHAT!?!?

[ultama121]

Beginning of End of Evangelion. From what I saw, looked like Shinji was masturbating to Asuka's unconscious, breast exposed body... :gonk:

Also, I finished it.

Wow, that ending was awful for the characters, and it kind of dissapointed me. I can't believe everyone died... freakin Rei clones giving people their dreams but at the same time 'asploding them. I mean really. OMG MISATO SENSEI *BLAGHL*. To tell you the truth, it sort of made me laugh though because of how over the top it was. :awesome: After all of the surreal "I AM NOW UNITED WITH YOU, WE ARE HUGE NUDE ANGELIC PEOPLE" stuff, I really didn't get what happened. Ok... the third impact happened, and Asuka and Shinji are alive... and Shinji tries to strangle Asuka? wat? No more explanation of what happens afterwards? Huh?
Aside from that: :awesome:


I'm starting to watch "ef- A Tale of Memories". It seems good so far. The art is amazing along with the music.
Edit: Just found out that it's based on an eroge... ugh that disheartens me a little.

[ultama121]

Bump because this post is rather to mark the start of a discussion of a very interesting article...
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_108/1315-Heart-wrenching-Hentai

Downloading at the speed of something really slow because the XDCC bot is being flooded.

Season 2 was terrible I will admit. The plot is in total chaos and tried to make up for it with blazing mech battles. Who else thought Lelouch's "crown" was retarded as hell?

[The_Wraith]

So who just watched the Code Geass series finale?That show was going to revive my interest in watching anime but it turned gay after the first 5 episodes.

[ultama121]

Wow... I just watched a bit of Welcome to the NHK... oh my God this is great in so many ways. :awesome:

This is probably the best Otaku parody ever.

Go watch Gundam 00 then, if you want a more serious and dramatic show. Hits some very relevant modern (and future) issues too.

If you want constant crazy and awesome sorta show I'd recommend Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

*both are robot shows

[TeeKup]

Both are bloody epic. :awesome:

*both are robot shows No pretty much Gundam Seed destroyed any faith I had in any new Gundam series.

Gundam: Wing, The 08th MS Team, and G were the only series I found to be good. Lot of people hated G but I thought it was a fantastic change while still retaining the mobile suit theme.

I'm very picky with the anime I do like. I found most of it to lack any substance and just border on fucking stupid. I hate most of the ones with magic and other bullshit, save for the Miyazaki films and Death Note.

[ultama121]

Wraith, you should really watch Mushi-Shi, its very different compared to other animes and even if you don't like anime, chances are you'll like it.

[The_Wraith]

Wraith, you should really watch Mushi-Shi, its very different compared to other animes and even if you don't like anime, chances are you'll like it.
To humor you I actually looked up a synopsis of it. Try again.

[ultama121]

Can you go into detail about what kind of anime you're looking for? Just so I don't end up suggesting something you wouldn't like.

Man, I thought anyone would end up liking Mushi-Shi... its actually in the top 10 of pretty much any anime list.

[ExAm]

We are all like that guy. Or girl.Jesus christ no we're not NO WE'RE NOT :gonk:

[The_Wraith]

I'm totally up for new anime as I've been watching the same series over and over and they aren't getting stale...just want something new.

Ghost In The Shell
Laputa: Castle In The Sky
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke
Blue Gender
Cowboy Bebop
Death Note
Gundam Wing
The 08th MS Team
Mobile Fighter G
Samurai Champloo
Blue Submarine No. 6

I also enjoyed, to some degree, Eureka 7. Though at times Renton's behavior and his relationship with Eureka gets quite annoying. Also the underlying plot doesn't really make any sense at all. Reminds me of the ending to Blue Gender. That show is great until like the last episode when the writers seemed to take a shit on the script.

[ultama121]

Oh you've watched Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo... you may want to go with Wolf's Rain which is by the same creators.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1806

I'll recommend some more tomorrow, but I need to go to bed. ;_;

OH and also, I haven't watched it personally, but my brother has and loved it.
Noein: To Your Other Self: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5887

I've seen Wolf's Rain. It was entertaining but nothing I would actually keep on my HDD and watch more than once.

[LlamaMaster]

Try elfen lied. It gets up its own ass in bullshit sometimes, but it is only 12 episodes so it doesn't ware on your nerves to much (like the manga did). It has a ton of gore/nudity, so that makes it good? You decide, I liked it:

http://www.imeem.com/people/EvV8TmJ/video/xs4Yn8S5/elfen_lied_episode_1_sub_animation_video/

If you want robots: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Anime crack: FLCL (it's good, but you will be saying "what the fuck?" all the way though)

[Jelly]

But when you rewatch FLCL, theres loads you can spot that you missed the first time around.

That's a very good list. The 08th MS Team had to be the one of the best gundam series, despite how short it is.

[Stormwing]

No pretty much Gundam Seed destroyed any faith I had in any new Gundam series.
00 is totally different. It begins sort of like Wing, with 'terrorist' Gundam pilots trying to change the world, and then it goes off on its own path and gets quite good. It starts a little slow, doing a lot of world-building, but when things kick into action it gets real good. And you'd be just in time for season 2, which starts on Sunday.
I can't stand Seed/Destiny either (you gotta admit though, Seed 49 was a hell of an episode), but I was pleasantly surprised by 00. It's directed by the same guy who did Full Metal Panic.

And in retrospect Wing really wasn't very good...

The 08th MS Team had to be the one of the best gundam series, despite how short it is. Don't forget 0080.

Also, tossing another show out there....RahXephon. And take a look at TTGL.

So guys yesterday I watched Yu gi oh and got horny for the black lust soldier

[Stormwing]

RahXephon is almost a complete clone of Evangelion. Don't bother watching if you're cynical about that sort of thing.
It's still a good show though. I can hardly stand the bs "symbolism" Eva throws around and Shinji's retarded whining, but Rah takes a similar premise, refines it, and makes it a lot more enjoyable (and less mindfuck-y). Rahxephon is one of my favorites, while Eva isn't even close.

Besides, it was based more on a show that came out long before Eva, Brave Reideen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_Raideen).

[Heathen]

Wraith. Try Wolfs Rain, S-cry-Ed, and Paranoia Agent.

That's a very evil avatar of Exia, where ever did you find it?

EDIT: @ Heathen, Wolfs Rain was beautiful.

[The_Wraith]

Wraith. Try Wolfs Rain, S-cry-Ed, and Paranoia Agent.Seen them all. Wolf's Rain was mediocre but S-cry-Ed was just...well stupid. Like I said I'm very picky over my anime. I lean towards more realist storylines and universes like in GITS and Cowboy Bebop. Miyazaki's work is the only eception.

[Stormwing]

That's a very evil avatar of Exia, where ever did you find it?
You've never seen TerminExia? A few pages back I posted a link to a commercial for 00's second season, calling you out about it specifically. That was the first appearance of it.

Here's the latest teaser:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=sV0W5o3gXD0
Setsuna took the broken Exia, and patched it up as well as he could, reattaching the head and putting in a replacement head camera. The GN Sword is still broken, it's still missing a leg, and the cloak covers the missing left arm. I am SO DAMN PUMPED for S2. JUST ABOUT ONE DAY LEFT HAHAHAHAHA

also: Wraith, you want realistic storylines? watch 00! :D It's set in Anno Domini, the source of most conflict is due to lack of resources and orbital elevators (http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/10/02/space.elevator/?iref=mpstoryview)/ring of solar panels are built around Earth to harvest energy, lots of political stuff going on, and touches on racial conflicts, child soldiers, moral ambiguity, and *possibly* gender identity of artificial lifeforms?

[TeeKup]

I was surprised I didn't notice that. I haven't been keeping up with the show due to certain.....circumstances...

It only covers the missing left arm, since it really something that you'd want to show off.

Edit:

Have any of you played any visual novels? They're rather cool. It's almost like a manga but in color and with voice acting. Some are pretty amazing, like Tsukuhime and Fate Stay Night. Now here's a bit of controversy... a lot of the really amazing ones are actually eroges (Including the ones I just mentioned). Now don't be discouraged by that, the eroticness of them is simply a separate entity from the compelling stuff (Story, characters etc). Although there aren't very many visual novels officially released in English, the die hard fans have translated the awesome ones. Here's a list of some of the fantranslated visual novels (Downloads [For the free ones] and Buy links [For the ones that cost money] are available on this page)

http://shii.org/translate/

One visual novel has been in the process of translation lately (And it's 95% finished at that). Its entitled: Chaos;Head (Don't worry this one isn't an eroge :p).
Here's a sypnopsis for it.

Chaos;Head is a Japanese visual novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus with gore, psychology, and science fiction elements. The game is described by the development team as a "Delusional Science NVL" . The game's premise revolves around a high school student named Takumi Nishijō who unknowingly walks into the scene of a gruesome murder on his way home. More mysterious events starts happening afterwards as more gruesome murders occurs in the area. Takumi struggles to cope with reality and the delusions he experiences as he tries to avoid being getting caught by the perpetrator behind the chain of murders. So far, 2 episodes of the anime have been released fansubbed and it seems pretty cool so far. (If you don't like the anime, don't judge it by it, because some of the most amazing visual novels have had shitty animes). A beta patch for the visual novel has also been released. http://www.mediafire.com/?gomjyedywyg (Everything is translated besides the pictures, which will remain unedited until the next and most likely final patch is released).

Here's the Opening for the visual novel (the song is pretty awesome, it's entitled: "Find the Blue"):

[teh lag]

So I watched King of Braves : GaoGaiGar and GaoGaiGar Final (the sequel)...

For the first ~25 episodes it's a generic kid's show about giant robots with generic villains. There's very little development on the part of the antagonists with a monster-of-the-week approach to plot development. It uses an irritatingly large amount of stock footage (comprising anywhere from 1/8 to 1/4 of a 24-minute episode) and a very facepalm-inducing transforming vehicles aspect - both of these don't totally go away until far later in the show, which really detract from its quality. The opening theme will make you wince, as will a very large number of moments throughout the series...


But then around episode 29 it gets insanely, fuck-yeah-ing awesome.




It's like halfway through the show the producers realized that they would appeal to a far bigger audience if they turned down the suckiness. The stock footage is trimmed, the antagonists get a better motive than "lets rule world lol", and there will be scenes where you go "OMG NOOOOO :(" or "FUCK YESSSSSSSSSS :awesome:." Granted, the childish elements take a while to fade way, and even after the first FUCK YES point there will be facepalm moments that send the show plunging back to the failure that it started out as, but by the end they've been completely overshadowed by the aura of BURNING PASSION AND COURAGE that the characters emit.

While you're waiting for the suck to go away, the show (inadvertantly at times) lets you have some good laughs involving :


-Rocket-powered rollerskates
-A unicorn mech equipped with energy weapons made from freezers and microwaves piloted by a homeless guy
-A fire truck that shoots fire
-Penchinon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RgIU5tgCkA)
-The writers' terrible understanding of the English Language; results include a supposedly American character exclaiming "great!" when she is informed of a railway gun being aimed at a city
-A gay robot that fights using a gold-plated key-tar that shoots lasers
-General suckiness
-WTF moments that, I guarantee, overshadow anything else you have ever seen.

I went into this show with my dislike of most mecha anime (I have yet to enjoy a single Gundam series - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has up until now been the only mecha anime I liked) and really had my doubts up until said turning point...

But by the end of the main series I loved it, and with a few minor hiccups the sequel was even more amazing. If you're going to watch it, I'd reccomend seeing the first few episodes just to become acquainted with the main characters and the premise, but then just skip around until 29. (Not skip over, because some episodes *do* have cool stuff regardless of the early-on suck factor. The first 5-10 minutes can usually be an indicator of if something important will happen or not.) It's ~50 episodes in total, no reason to waste time watching the entirety of an episode with nothing interesting happening.

In conclusion, it'll probably be worth the time investment, unless you suck and can't appreciate BURNING PASSION AND COURAGE.

All episodes are on YouTube. Except the very last one. YT is a faggot and thought it would be funny to make it cut off in the middle, which caused me to rage like I've never raged before.

[CabooseJr]

I just started watching Higurashi. It's getting pretty good so far.
Although, it kinda freaked me out when they said that Mion's body was in the well in episode 8 and she just popped out of nowhere and finally nailed Keichi

[ultama121]

Higurashi is reeeeeeeeeally scary. At times it's kind of hard to beleive, but its overall awesome. Very brutal scenes ahoy. :)

[CabooseJr]

So far, I'm loving every story arc. My favorite character right now has gotta be Mion.

[ultama121]

'Boose, you may want to try the visual novels. Higurashi's has only been partly translated... but the new one, Umineko is actually almost fully translated.

Protip: The visual novels are always way better than the animes. :-3

[BobtheGreatII]

Downloaded and watched Spice and Wolf...

Over all I think it was pretty good (looking forward to season 2), has that whole cheesy love type thing going on. Of course, I liked Ah! My Goddess and Chobits... so I dunno. Anyway, I believe it's a total furry show, so if you're a furry it's for you. I'm not a furry, but something about the fox ears was kind of... oh gawd :smithicide:

Anyway, yeah, download and watch if you haven't.

And yes, I got the idea to watch it from the updated youtube post with the opening as the test video...

[LlamaMaster]

Wolf girls aren't furry dammit! >.< Also, what a coincidence, I just finished that series 2 days ago. Overall I loved the non-cliche-ness of it. Aside from Horo's minor annoyances, it was fairly mature. Art is great too. Would definitely recommend it.

[CabooseJr]

Just got done watching the first season of Higurashi and I gotta say, every character has issues.

I watched one episode. I thought it was boring...and the annoying lolis didn't help. How was the rest of the series?

[CabooseJr]

I would suggest you watch up to episode 4. That completes 1 of the story arcs. There are actually 6 story arcs.

I disagree, its storyline has some similarities, but RahXephon is just too good to be deemed a representation. RahXephon's superior execution makes it better IMO.

I prefer Black Lagoon or Love Hina, that's the only ones i watch now..... rarely anything else,
but i do play alot of "anime" themed games: s4 league, tales runner, etc.

Oh, one more thing:
does this happen in your school:
some obsessed over vampires/deathnote/asia chick/guy
has a "deathnote" notebook, and goes around and writes people's names in it and how they die? Cause in my highschool, a crazy chick has my name in it after i "borrowed" it.

Made me Lol, cause i was gonna get killed by a vampire at a clock tower...

Teenagers fighting a computer virus that has manifested itself as a giant cricket in a desert and possessed a computer nerd which was created as a result of a doodle was just too much for me to swallow.

When that stuff got involved my willingness to suspend disbelief for what started out as a comedy was stretched too far. I understand that there was supposed to be an element of irony in that, but when said irony makes the show unenjoyable it's not worth it imo.

Why does everyone like Death Note? I mean honestly. I found it to be annoying. Like, I understood that Light had gone mad with power within the first few episodes.

Why must Hollywood continue to rape good things?


FROM MOVIES BLOG (http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/01/16/keanu-reeves-to-star-in-live-action-cowboy-bebop-adaptation/): Last month, MTV caught up with Keanu Reeves about his dream project — a live-action remake of the anime classic, “Cowboy Bebop.” (http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/12/17/keanu-reeves-eager-to-do-something-good-with-cowboy-bebop-movie/) Reeves confirmed that he and Fox were “trying to do that” and that a writer was attached. Now, The Hollywood Reporter (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3i4b7a99706a1f6a077ed21921bf2d43fd?imw=Y) is confirming that Reeves is set to play Spike Spiegel, and that Peter Craig is writing the script. No director has been named.:mech:

Edit: Yes I know, that was announced back in January... but seriously... Keanu Reeves?... No.

[LlamaMaster]

Your wrong, lots of people don't like death note. Death Note is only really liked by the "anime noobs." (which I used to be, but even then I started to hate it after a while)

Anime adaptations of video games?! That are good?!

Naw.

No, I don't count visual novels as video games. >.>


Too sloppily directed to succeed at action and too clunkily scripted to make for compelling drama, Devil May Cry does have the makings of a good, down and dirty exploitation series. The needlessly gory violence, shallow characters and even the hideously overbearing guitar-rock score would all be advantages in an unrepentant sleazefest. Unfortunately Devil May Cry just isn't nasty enough to work as exploitation, and with its dull cast, piles of dumb clichés and uninvolving action, it ends up being one thing that even exploitation series are never allowed to be: boring. (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/devil-may-cry/dvd-3)

Say sonny, you might want to watch a better anime. Please? :(

You poor soul. D:

I hate to quote again, but hey, its well said.

And that part of the scene is what makes Gantz itself unredeemable. Honestly ... that they had the gall to depict a girl who had just committed suicide and then seconds after a violent rape attempt, being giggly and laughing over a dog going down on her? I just ... can't compute this. (http://www.themanime.org/viewreview.php?id=841)
I haven't watched Gantz personally, but reviews like this have kept me from doing so. So once again... you may wanna watch better anime. D:

[Alwin Roth]

Not sure if this has been brought up, but i think
"spirited away" is one of the best ones,

-It's not superbly perverted like the modern ones.
-It has nice animations, not like naruto where it repeats certain animations.
-It has a nice storyline, and no random shit, like that bobobobobobobo one...
-You can understand it by watching it once.

[ultama121]

Three posts in the same thread in the same day woo. *cracks knuckles*

In my opinion, Spirited Away, and most of Miyazaki's works for that matter are absurdly overrated. Sure they're imaginative and well written, but they just haven't left me feeling like I've experienced something that will stick with me, like most other good anime I've watched have.


-It's not superbly perverted like the modern ones.
Heh. Not all modern anime are like that. Since the Japanese are indeed the Japanese, they practically feel obligated to put fanservice in of some kind, which is why you see so many innuendos in anime. It really depends on the anime you're watching though. All of the good anime don't suffer from this, but there might be a tiny bit of fanservice.

-It has nice animations, not like naruto where it repeats certain animations.
Lol, most good anime have good animation. Naruto however is not a good anime, nor are its production values even remotely high.

-It has a nice storyline, and no random shit, like that bobobobobobobo one...
There are a lot of shit anime out there with shit storylines. Sounds like you've been subjected to a lot of shit ones. Its just a matter of watching the good stuff.

-You can understand it by watching it once.

All of the good anime don't suffer from this, but there might be a tiny bit of fanservice.

http://www.catsonmars.com/faye/fay17.jpgI would count that as a small amount of fanservice. There isn't an excess of pantyshots, and I would hardly call anything about the show's plot "superbly perverted". Ultama's statement still stands.

[n00b1n8R]

There were a few shower scenes :P

[ExAm]

Still nothing close to "superbly perverted". If you've ever seen clips from an ecchi then you know what superbly perverted is.

[ultama121]

ATTN n00b the swamp creature:
Watch a few seconds of Ikkitousen, Grendaier and Rosario + Vampire for tame-ish ecchi and then watch the first few minutes of Elfen Lied or Gunbuster for full blown fanservice.

You'll be wondering why Cowboy Bebop even tried to put a little bit of fanservice in. :haw:

I dare you to watch the movie before completing the complete storyline. You will want to kill yourself if you did.

Clannad is a great series. It is generic and moe as hell, but works within that extremely well.

Shit, this is seriously well-done. I like it when people break the norm for things that are otherwise shitty (in this case, actually putting time into selecting an appropriate song and video editing instead of placing random scenes together with some Linkin Park song.) The way the visuals from the last episodes call to mind the original music video for Crazy is a nice touch... And regardless of if you like Eva or not, the remix is pretty good.

Want to rewatch Evangelion now, but I know the LOL CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT will ruin it for me again.

Was looking for a Korean hip hop singer that was titled "bounce with me" the music video...

[TreborMaharg]

I love any kind of anime where the female lead characters have huge breasts.

[ultama121]

@ All who watched the Clannad anime.
http://clannad.thewafflehouse.net/index.php

The visual novel translation is nearing completion, which you may want to play seeing as many people say its way better than the anime. Oh and before you ask, yes the anime was based off the VN.

@ Jelly
It may be just me, but the character development never bothered me. If I remember it correctly, it was usually well done, sooooooooooo... :confused:

@ lag
That kicked ass. I've also stumbled upon some really good AMVs, one of them being for Eva as well.

It might have been well done as far as character development goes, but there was far too much of it.

DJ Sharpnel is awesome, I have all of their albums. They have a lot of good tracks. Main site (http://sharpnel.com/)

Eva was mediocre. The mix of horrific animation and TEEN ANGST ruined it. EoE was good though, and the Eva Retake manga is amazing. (it's part porn, but the plot is better than the series....)

[ultama121]

Eva was mediocre.
RAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG.

TEEN ANGST
Clannad? http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-psyduck.gif

I... really didn't see it that way. The animation wasn't the best, but it wasn't what I'd call "horrific" either and a few scenes were exceptionally well-done even by today's standards. Yeah, the elevator and holding Kaowru were a bit much to swallow, I'll give you that. The angel designs were also pretty uninspired compared to say, the enemy designs from GaoGaiGar (which at least proved pretty unique even when they were kiddie show monsters of the week), but then you never saw much of them anyway and when you did they weren't usually as bad.

...Unless you're talking about the last 2 episodes when they were running out of money, which I don't think should leave such a large impression on someone's opinion of the series.

Nor did I find the "teen angst" to get in the way - it was just how Shinji (and later on Asuka) developed as characters and I was willing to deal with it. I don't think you don't have to like a character or their attitude towards life to enjoy a series; I actually enjoyed hating the protagonist for a change. I guess I just don't see it as a fault.

heh, ultama takin animes serious

Code Geass was boring. My opinions are not everybody opinions. Lag didn't like Haruhi....

[teh lag]

Well if that's how you felt about it I won't yell a-


Code Geass was boring.

omg fuck you

[BobtheGreatII]

Code Geass was ok. I think it was alright, but I couldn't stand how everyone looked. I haven't seen the second season... so I don't know what's going on with the series. But judging off the first season, it wasn't bad, just didn't like the art style. Just me though.

[/ramble]

[Heathen]

okay, so I have been playing the shit out of this game called Princess Waltz.

Yeh, its an H-Game or whatever name you choose but the sex scenes are rare and I gotta say, the story is damn interesting, and in a few occasions I was way too into it.

So...are there any plans to make this into an anime or anything?

Because its fucking good.



Since I feel like ranting I will explain the premise a bit.

Prince needs a woman. Princesses "waltz" for the kings hand. Waltzing is badass sword fighting called "dancing." They wear "dresses" which are armor that is powered by the tiara they wear. The goal of the fights is to either destroy the tiara, knock it off, or kill them.

Bleach-esque sword battles and some damn good plot twists. At one point you get to thinking the main character is EXTREMELY dense but its still good.

[ultama121]

Lol Heathen. Looks like you're playing your first eroge/visual novel. That annoying main character syndrome is a product of many eroges. Its almost stereotypical of them... If you like Princess Waltz, you're really going to want to play some other VNs, because in reality, Princess Waltz is only the tip of the iceburg. ;) Good VNs/eroges are pretty much known for amazing story lines.

When your done with Princess Waltz, you may want to check out one of the following:

[Heathen]

Rofl. no, I have played a few before. Sagara family and the likes, but those were too cut and dry for me. This one is actually pretty good.

Also lol, everyone I have EVER played, the main character wakes up in the very beginning.

[ultama121]

Sagara family and the likes,
Those games put the "ero" in eroge.




Ok I even hate myself for that pun. Enjoy the world of Visual Novels that aren't porn. :3

[Heathen]

Infinitely better imo.

[ultama121]

Hell yeah.

[LlamaMaster]

I've played Tsukihime (incredible...and porn), Wanko to Kurasou (catgirl porn, which was very interesting...until the porn), and Saya no Uta (very good, except it seems to be degrading into porn...) God, it's all porn.

[Heathen]

So just right quick,
1. suggest me a hentai with good story.

And I don't mean a decent story.

2. Suggest me something darker and awesome without censorship. Like Elfen Lied.

[ultama121]

Uhhhh you aren't really going to find a hentai like that. The best you'll find in terms of a of hentai and story is in eroges, and most hentai eroge adaptations suck. There defintely are some hentais with good stories though... try Kite or Mezzo Forte. I've heard those are pretty good and dark.

Oh and Elfen Lied had censorship. :v:











Elfen Lied was also a pretty bad anime... atleast imo. :S

FOR THE VAIZARD

also Pendulum arc was :O!!!!

what.
It broadcast on May 22nd, and Bod was the only person to post in this thread at that time so uh.

[klange]

Stop mucking up my thread, guyz.

[Heathen]

so whats with FMA Brotherhood?

I'd started watching it thinking it was a continuation, then Hughes is still alive.

Is this sort of a chronicling of what happened during the series's jumps?

[ultama121]

Nope, its a remake of the series. Rather than diverging from the manga, it follows it.

[Heathen]

So its the Manga in Anime form.

So...are we gonna see the same events from the first season also? Like Rose and all that jazz? First episode was movie epic btw.

There are 5 episodes on Hulu btw.

and with Hulu Desktop (http://www.hulu.com/labs/hulu-desktop), its awesome.

[ultama121]

I prefer the 720p fansubs. :downs:
