おはようございます、こんにちは、またはこんばんは！ようこそ！
Welcome to the Modacity Otaku Anime and Manga thread!

I have nothing else to say.

[Syuusuke]

Um...anime...

Last one was...
Prince of Tennis (manga and anime only) just to catch up.

It's pretty fruity.

Oh that's it.

[FireDragon04]

I'm a big Death note fan, my friends are tying to get me into D.Grey-man and some other stuff.
I was at a Anime/Manga convention on Friday (ReCon) and it was good, i cosplayed as "夜神 月, Yagami Raito" aka "Light Yagami".

The first picture after the titles is moi standing ontop of 'L' with my Death Note. [0:16 time]

[thehoodedsmack]

I've only ever read/watched Eyeshield 21 and Trigun. Both awesome, in my opinion.

[LlamaMaster]

I've been getting more into anime recently. (although I've never hated it) Most recently watched:

Tenchi Muyo OVA's (Favorite anime ever. Although I hate tenchi Universe and all the other spinoff crap except for the movies)

Inuyasha (borderline kids crap, sometimes I like it, sometimes I hate it)

Not fucking naruto.

Death note (repetitive, but meh...)

Samurai Champloo (I hate subs, but series is good)

Jin-roh. (A movie, the best animated movie I've ever seen. It's extremely dark, unpredictable, has no crazy eyes or hair, and is generally amazing)

All you anime haters can go fuck a goat.

[itszutak]

I've seen Evangelion and FLCL to their completion, but not much else. Too many narutards around to actually discuss anime in my school :/

[Pyong Kawaguchi]

I used to hate anime with the wild steriotype many people had, then i started watching deathnote, blood+ Code Geass and Bleach

[klange]

I myself do watch Naruto, but I must say I like the various theme songs more than the show itself (great Japanese pop rock). I watch the Viz dubs of Inuyasha on [as] every Saturday, as well as Bleach, but I never really care enough to watch Death Note and due to my use of prescription methylphenidate I usually am out cold half way through anyway.

[Hotrod]

I haven't really been into anime lately, but I have seen a few episodes of some shows here and there, and they aren't that bad. The main reason I don't really watch anime is because I don't really watch TV that much in general.

[m13120]

I love watching Rurouni Kenshin reruns.

[PlasbianX]

Currently im watching the reruns of Inuyasha, watching Deathnote, Bleach, and Code Geass.

Let me just put it as bluntly as possible: Naruto is better than that Nick-crap.

Two years later, my opinion has changed greatly.

[LlamaMaster]

Let me just put it as bluntly as possible: Naruto is better than that Nick-crap.
And almost everything is better than naruto.

[supersniper]

Samurai Jack was pretty good...

[Corndogman]

YES. Good ol' cartoon network.

[Arteen]

Avatar: The Last Air Bender :p
That show actually gets pretty interesting once it gets a few episodes in. I was put off by the "Nickelodeon-ness" of the first few episodes, but my (older) sister convinced me to get it a chance, and I started to enjoy it.

I mean...
lol nikcleodean sux

I haven't watched much recently, except for Code Geass and Death Note (both subtitled). I did watch FLCL to completion too, but I don't understand why people like it. It's awful.

As for favorites, here's what comes to mind:
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Death Note

Other enjoyable ones that come to mind:
Dual!
Slayers
G Gundam
Gundam: 8th MS Team
Cowboy Bebop
Hellsing
Trigun (good, although only had the chance to watch a dozen or so)
Kenshin (same)

[m13120]

I liked Yu-Gi-Oh! up until after Yugi beat Pegasus. After that it was basically just recycling the story with new cards.

[ima_from_America]

Love Hina was pretty good, but I vomited after I heard the English voice dubs.

[Stormwing]

GIGA
DRILL
BREAAKKKKAAAAAAAA

That's all that needs to be said.


....I deeply dislike anime and anime culture in general, but I'm a total mechahead. Other recent shows for me are Gundam 00 (pretty great), Macross Frontier (not terrible), and Code G(ay)ass (dumb fun, but goddamn those noodle people and the school hijinks need to stop). Just saw Gunbuster and Diebuster recently, working on Legend of the Galactic Heroes now.

Other good shows:
Dai-Guard (just for fun)
RahXephon
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Kenshin
Gundam 0080 (amazing)
Gundam 08th MS Team
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Macross Plus (best aerial dogfighting ever)
Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann (the initial quote, and yes it is awesome)
MEGAS XLR (fuck yeah america)

[thehoodedsmack]

Digimon, anyone?

[ultama121]

(Insert most popular anime's here)
Also, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist and a lot of other stuff I don't feel like thinking of.

A friend of mine is really into Elfen Lied. That anime is rather, er... explicit. Most violence/gore combined with nudity and really negative stuff like rape. Yeah... the story is good though. I feel like all of the extremely popular animes start to milk the cow after a while and end up ok, but turn out to be not anything special.

Also, anime crack is fun... http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,3978,btaiss,kaze_no_stigma.html

[nooBBooze]

I merely like Ghost in the Shell and some of the Animatrix stuff and pretty much despise every other animu since to me, they are all the same, well, safe for some minor color corrections to the various hairstyles.

Btw I've recently watched some ridicoulous japanese movie called "Death Note" and it's only now that i realise that it's actually based on an anime. So while i thought this was the worst possible way of ruining a promising premise [some guy is able to kill literally anyone but instead of turning the world around by taking out the big shots he prefers to kill off some minor criminals], watching it knowing that it's a live action anime adaption explains alot.

[Zeph]

I was brought into anime with DBZ. It was good until it got into namek and fights wound up being as long as entire previous seasons. I stopped caring about it after that. Gundam Wing caught my eye after that and held my heart until I found the original Gundam series. There, I realized Gundam Wing sucked as I started watching the rest of the Universal Century shows. Zeta especially is good stuff. It's really surprised me that Zeta hasn't been licensed for air time in the US. Seed started out as a good remake but turned out to be crap. Destiny started off amazing, but turned to utter suck before the first opening sequence change. Haven't watched any of the new series since then and probably wont until they make a full series length UC show.

Since then, I've picked up Ghost in the Shell seasons 1 and 2 as well as the TV cannon movie. I love that universe. I've watched the two movies that aren't in cannon with the TV show and they're pretty good as well.

Full Metal Alchemist was pretty entertaining. Probably one of the better casual shows with its great balance between its unique universe, character development, pacing, and plot development. The movie does a nice job at continuing the story while leaving it just as open ended as when the TV show left off.

Deathnote is interesting, but it's the same damn thing every episode. If you watch the first five or six, you've seen the entire series; essentially.

Code Geass is what I'm watching right now. A surprisingly good amount of fan service actually got me into it long enough for me to take a closer look at what was going on :p. In most animes, you typically have Japan as either non-existant, modern, or superpower. The fact that Japan is under occupation hooked me. It definitely uses super-characters that just pwn cannon fodder on a level that would bankrupt any post-WWII economy, but there's plenty that makes up for it. The season 1 finale was pretty good. I didn't know about season 2 at the time, so I was expecting it to literally end right there. I was mad at such an amazing finale. Season 2 hasn't been soo good. It's been a lot of rehashing character positions and not much plot development. Hopefully it'll pick up in the next 5 or so episodes.

I've seen a ton of others, but those are the ones that stand out for me. Humorously enough, most of those have been aired in the US but I dont pay much attention to them. The voice acting typically doesn't pull in the emotional tones from the original audio and often completely substitutes lines with new dialog instead of simply translating. I.E., the english audio for Batou in GitS whenever he is being sarcastic is almost never the same as the japanes.

I think Code Geass is actually playing on Adult Swim now. I should check in to see how the voice acting is going for it.

[supersniper]

Pokemon

lolz.

[n00b1n8R]

The only anime I ever got into was Cowboy Bebop.

Damn, all these show names sound so gay. xD

[Zeph]

You should imagine how bad the english show names are translated into japanese.

[ExAm]

Current:
Hellsing Ultimate
Ergo Proxy
Desert Punk (If I could find some more goddamn episodes!)
Ghost In The Shell

Finished:
Fullmetal Alchemist
Death Note
Full Metal Panic/The Second Raid (Fuck Fumoffu, don't touch that shit)
.Hack//Sign
Excel Saga (Ridiculously funny if you're in the right mindset)
FLCL

There are more... I just can't remember them

[Jelly]

The first Anime I ever watched was Naruto, since I'd heard about it on the Internet and saw it on Jetix one day. Watched a few episodes and found that it was repeating the same episode every day of the week >_>
Went to YouTube and watched the Eng Dubs up to Episode 81 and then Fansubs from then on. I watched every single episode, even the countless fillers and really boring episodes. I'm still following Naruto Shippuden, but, after watching other better shows, feel that it is just bad. I found Dattebayo's site and started watching Bleach. Every episode, again without missing fillers and boring ones, and I still follow it. I'm not sure why, because it's just not good any more.

Past that, I've watched:
Death Note, which I really enjoyed
FLCL. Oh. My. God. That was the best anime I have ever watched. I've never been so satisfied with another show.
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, which wasn't great, but was good to follow.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - but I think I watched the episodes in the wrong order. Was great fun anyway.
Clannad, which was almost identical to Haruhi Suzumiya, but slightly sadder.

I'm currently watching or following:
Code Geass - It's like Death Note with robots
Azumanga Daioh - But I've not really gotten interested yet.
Gundam 08th MS - I've yet to start
Evangelion - I've yet to finish downloading.
Hayate no Gotoku! - I got the first episode to see what it was like, and enjoyed it, so I'll get the rest later.
Fullmetal Alchemist - I've heard nothing but praise for this, so I'm hoping to enjoy it
Lucky Star - SCHOOLGIRLS AND DANCING.
Excel Saga - Also heard praise for this.
Elfen Lied - Violence and nudes :3

[thehoodedsmack]

Does Afro Samurai count?

[Stormwing]

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - but I think I watched the episodes in the wrong order. Was great fun anyway.
No, that's probably the order in which they were shown. It never actually went in order. (I think like ep 9/Someday in the Rain the last one timeline-wise...or something)

[Patrickssj6]

Avatar occasionally, Dragonball is my all-time favorite though (DBZ and the original one, hate mostof the GT episodes).

[Jelly]

No, that's probably the order in which they were shown. It never actually went in order. (I think like ep 9/Someday in the Rain the last one timeline-wise...or something)
It was the DVD order according to the subbers.

OMFG OTAKU THREAD YES.

Death Note

[Jelly]

Turn 11 of Code Geass was released yesterday; both GG and Eclipse have it available.

Why is it that whenever things look dire for Zero and the Black Knights, a new technology that Rakshata has suddenly developed is unveiled? I was certainly happy to see Lelouch out of trouble, but the plot seems to be relying on sudden developments as opposed to proper strategy. The one smart part I did like was the broadcast of the Noble's Tianzi comments, though.

FLCL (obviously)

E:

Cowboy Bebop

Megas XLR

Digimon

Full Metal Alchemist (htf did I forget that one)

EE:

Yuyu Hakusho

[Edward Elrich]

Bleach (if they'll stop with the stupid filler arc going now in both America and Japan)
FMA
Naruto (ish, but I'm waiting for January '09 when Shippuuden starts here)
Yugioh 5D's (card games on motorbikes, kinda lame yet the retardedness is gone from GX)
Vampire Knight
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle
D. Gray Man (manga, the anime can just go ahead and die right now)
Busou Renkin
And as for Pokemon and Digimon, first and second gen only, after that it just got really dumb and annoying.
There are a lot more, but I haven't really watched them or can't remember them right now.

Whoever said Avatar should know it's technically not anime.

[TeeKup]

-rep

Also, bleach and code grease suck

DIE IN A FIRE.

[teh lag]

I've tried watching some... the only one I liked was FLCL. (And how.)

Oh, and the Kirby anime, but that's only because it's Kirby. (Dear god the English dub butchered it D: )

[Edward Elrich]

Well it's 4Kids, what do you expect? These are the same people that severely ruined other anime, like Shaman King, maybe Pokemon but I haven't seen the Japanese to compare them, Yugioh, and other stuff like that.

[DrunkenSamus]

I love watching Rurouni Kenshin reruns.

YES. Good man...

There are only a few that I like such as Yo Yo Hakusho or whatever its called, Kenshin, and DBZ.

[ultama121]

Elfen Lied - Violence and nudes :3
I see wut u might of done thar. :lol:

[DaneO'Roo]

Finally, they made a thread about who can be the most poser Japanese.

Otanawa Zugablabla Watchawatcha Boinga Boinga is all I fucking read when I looked at these posts. Why aren't they're any french or italian animes? Something that has a sexy language.


The style has been flogged to death back and forth, and after seeing the same artstyle represented in most of them, with the washed out watercolour look with jerky animation, big eyes and stupid hair it really does make me want to pull out my hair whenever I see any.

[n00b1n8R]

Thanks for the constructive post Dano.
Feel free to say out.

[Jelly]

There are Italian and French dubs available, but anime is, by definition, Japanese in origin.

[ultama121]

Why wait for Shippuuden?
Just Get Naruto at NarutoGet.com

(Not an ad, a referral :P)

[ultama121]

Nice website Heath, I usually just use Veoh for anime streaming, they seem to have most animes.

[klange]

Why wait for Shippuuden?
Just Get Naruto at NarutoGet.com

(Not an ad, a referral :P)
I've been considering streaming/downloading subbed ones for a while now, but I feel I'm too used to the Viz dubs. Plus, any poor grammar or spelling in subtitles would drive me nuts as I'm just that kind of person. And seriously, it's not that long of a wait. At the current rate of airing, which will continue for the rest of the original series, and assuming Viz/CN do their part to get licensing ready for dubs, we could see the first season by the end of the year.

But like I said, I'm more obsessed with the theme songs than the show...

[ultama121]

The grammar is quite good actually. Get it from a fansub place like Dattebayo, you won't be dissapointed. http://dattebayo.com/

I'd probably have a heart attack.
But yeah, awesome. And I don't even watch Death Note.

[Pooky]

None of the ones I've even slightly liked even have English voice... and I get bored of reading subtitles.

[ExAm]

http://www.chasethegaijin.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/header.jpg

I'd shit a brick :/That's from the live action film, right?

[legionaire45]

Evangelion, Hellsing, Last Exile, a few others here and there. Last Exile is my favorite, although Hellsing is interesting.

[DaneO'Roo]

Thanks for the constructive post Dano.
Feel free to stay out.

Might want to shift over a bit, I think your sitting on that stain me and your mother made on the backseat.
Quit acting like a moderator.

[PlasbianX]

That's from the live action film, right?

Yea. I hate the live action though. The only guy that looks like the same guy from the anime is L, and thats only because they have the same eyes. Other than that, its bleh. Hell, misa has black hair in the life action X(

[Edward Elrich]

Why wait for Shippuuden?
Just Get Naruto at NarutoGet.com

(Not an ad, a referral :P)

So I can laugh at how much Viz messes it up. And while Dattebayo.com is good for anime, they only do Naruto and Bleach, so that's pretty limited. If you want a good place to get anime, try www.bleachexile.com (http://www.bleachexile.com). While they mainly do Bleach, they have a crapload of other anime to download and manga to read. (you do have to register a free account to download the anime)
And this is also a referral. They don't have a lot of the classics, but they still have a large amount of anime to download.

[n00b1n8R]

Might want to shift over a bit, I think your sitting on that stain me and your mother made on the backseat.

Quit acting like you know better than the rest of the people in this thread.

I have no idea why your trying to make a "your mum" joke other than to give yourself an excuse to throw in the ninja tags.

italian cartoons suck btw

[Edward Elrich]

French ones are worse... (namely Code Lyoko)
But besides that, I forgot one earlier: One Piece (no, NOT the pice of shit 4Kids did, the Funimation and original Japanese ones.)

O_o
Anime is what we call the Japanese cartooning style. French or Italian anime wouldn't exist. So you're saying the monotone cell shaded American fat bodied four finger hand style hasn't been flogged to death yet?

[Heathen]

Surfthechannel.com is good for me because I am on a DBZ watching spree now :P

Their pending an update. They had updated but there were bugs with the new layout so they reverted...

[Edward Elrich]

Finally, somewhere that has the uncut Yugioh episodes 4Kids ruined so much. Thanks for the link Heathen.

Oh, and there's also the manga Japan voted #1 of all time: Slam Dunk.

[Huero]

There are only a few anims I've ever been satisfied with
Full Metal Alchemist was alright
Elfen Lied was a trip to orgasmland, minus the ending
FL-CL was great
and honestly I can't think of very much else
Oh, and I loved Getbackers

[Heathen]

AH, the Get Backers was great. I got it with netflix randomly and loved it.

I always think about Inuyasha, but I dont really like it. Its basically Dragon Ball Z for girls :/

[LlamaMaster]

I just downloaded Elfen Lied. HOLY SHIT. Hardcore.

Edit: 3 episodes in. This is the best anime I've ever seen.

[Jelly]

My future wife is going to be a ruler of the universe.

[cheezdue]

I liked the first 2 Gundam series, the rest were boring. Yuyuhakisho(sorry if I spellled it wrong) the ghost files was awsome. Rurouni Kenshin was the best. Naruto best one seen in a while. My all time favorite, Dragonball z. There are still some other anime I watched other anime but dont remember thier names tho.

[LlamaMaster]

K, finished Elfen lied. Rant/spoilers below.


Dammit, why did they have to pull that bullshit at the end? Lucy died, right? So why is Kohta and everybody but Nana acting like nothing happened in the last scene? I'll repeat, what the fuck!? Did I miss something here? Jesus, I expected somebody to die at the end, but why did they have to pull that generic "wtf" horror movie ending.

Meh, I watched the ending again. Wasn't paying close enough attention. So I'm assuming Lucy came back at the end (she somehow survived?)and fixed the clock. But still, in the scene before that, why would she fight the police again? Whats to gain? I don't see how she could of gotten out of that alive, seeing as how the bullets got through the vectors enough to chip off her horn.

Quick review because I feel like it:

Pros:

Bad ass violence.

Nudity.(not the loli crap) :p

Great story for the most part.

Awesome art, especially the into.

Theme song.

Nyu! Nyu! Nyu!


Cons:

Starts out strong, then fades after episode 4 until near the end.

Lolicon creeps me out/is generically wrong. I mean, I understand the stuff vital to the story, but a lot of the time they were just finding excuses to get them naked.

Flashbacks started to piss me off.

Wtf:

Incest.

What kind of little kids beat a puppy to death?

Overall: A-

I expected to give this a higher grade before getting towards the end of the series. All the faults aside though, it's still the best anime series I've ever seen.


Also, I finished Elfen Lied yesterday. Now I find uber-powered women hot :3

Now I find girls with brain damage hot. :gonk:

K, not really. But Nyu was cute as hell.

So Slayers Revolution has started, and some parts of the Internet are having nerdgasms over it. I haven't watched the rest of the Slayers series, but the latest episode was pretty funny. Tadashi subs weren't bad, but Eclipse released their version today, so I might get their version for archiving.

Wow, I didn't know that another Slayers series was in the making. I watched the rest of the series a long time ago and enjoyed it. Thanks for the heads-up!

[LlamaMaster]

Anybody watch Death Note tonight?

Wow, Light died. Awesome. I didn't think they had the balls to kill the series like that. Props to them.

[ultama121]

The manga's ending was far better.
It doesn't end with Light's death. Stuff is explained n shiz.

[ExAm]

Was this a new episode? I watched the whole series through, I thought >_>

[Jelly]

The English Dub finished yesterday, I think.

[klange]

I'll be watching it in a few minutes. Had to DVR it for various reasons.
I hear no one died?

[Zeph]

You could have guessed that from the very beginning. TV shows typically aren't that great unless they have a similar twist at the end to resolve them so the protagonist overcomes a huge boss battle or unfortunately loses. If they dont, then they're typically like some show you'd watch on the history channel.

Books are easily able to get away with it though because they're more commonly the realm of leaving us in a different world to keep us thinking about the possibilities.

[Jelly]

For those following Code Geass, [gg] subs are out now.

[Chainsy]

Ehhhh, I was disapointed in Death notes ending last night. You could tell by the second to last episode the notebook wasnt going to work, but I think they also left alot of loose ends with this whole thing. Series was great, but the ending is the sum of the whole series, and it wasnt all too good, so overall, the english version was good..but not great.

[klange]

Wow... That was definitely... interesting.

e: Oh snap, I hit 666 posts.

I thought to last episode was awesome. Idk about you, but I enjoyed

light getting shot repeatedly. Finally, he can stfu. Although, i wish I knew what happened to Misa.(sp) I forgot, were her memories erased or could she still kill people? I abandon the series for a couple weeks so I missed some stuff.

[Jelly]

The second episode of Slayers: Revolution is out, and Eclipse have it subbed.

I finished Fullmetal Alchemist yesterday. The ending was hugely different to what I was expecting.

They're supposed to get everything back together >:O Not be split up by the gate. The film better make up for it.

[Heathen]

It does, but has an even :gonk:er ending to me.

[ultama121]

Full Metal Alchemist's anime diverged from the manga and is completely different. The manga is actually still going, I've heard it's really good.

[Zeph]

They're supposed to get everything back together >:O Not be split up by the gate. The film better make up for it.
spoiler on the film:
Nah, the film leaves them pretty much at the same exact point, but it gives Al some more development.

[Jelly]

I've just watched it, and I have to disagree;
They're back together with human bodies. That was their original goal, though Ed lost his arm and leg again. I don't think, however, that this should have been put into a movie. It was just like a really long last episode as opposed to a separate storyline arc. I'm glad I've finished it though; was a good anime.

[Heathen]

But its NOT over as Ultima said.

Edit: Also http://thatstupidclub.com/blogs/theclub/WindowsLiveWriter/FineDiningEvangelionStyle_2B41/213_eva_1.jpg

Manga doesn't count >:O

[ultama121]

Bump for some sort of justice.

In many cases, the manga is far better than the anime, Meester Jelley. :-3

[Jelly]

I never gave Manga a chance :3

Also, I've suddenly become obsessed with Animu like Kanon and Clannad. I'm forming bonds with the characters, then getting depressed after the last episode. I'll never see you again, Ayu ;_;

[ultama121]

The same technology Valve used for HL2... emotion. :lol:

Win. :lol:

Neon Genesis Evangelion is by far my favorite anime... although Shinji can get on your nerve. 1.0 was good, defiantly toned down Shinji's screaming factor. Ummm... anime I watch...
Neon Genesis Evangelion (FTW), Full Metal Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, Bleach, Great Teacher Onizuka, Naruto, Chobits, Samurai Champloo, Ah! My Goddess, Mushishi, Cowboy Bebop, Fooly Cooly, Negima!?, Eureka Seven, The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, Full Metal Panic... that's about it... still watching other stuff.

I finished up FMA a while ago... just now started reading the manga. Different... but I almost enjoy it more then the Anime. Still love the Anime though...

[Warsaw]

Favorite anime:

Last Exile

Awesome steampunk is awesome. :-3

[Jelly]

I spent £50 on the Neon Genesis Evangelion platinum DVDs, but the last episode was so bad that it hardly seemed worth it. End of Evangelion was pretty cool though.

[ExAm]

Favorite anime:

Last Exile

Awesome steampunk is awesome. :-3Just finished that one not too long ago. Awesome.

Also, I've been watching RahXephon. After the first couple of episodes I noticed some similarities to NGE. Now, I'm convinced. They're the same goddamn show. They're different enough so that NGE doesn't ruin the story of RX, and they're both still good shows, but still, I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of creativity here. At least the production quality is top notch.

[Heathen]

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Its rad.

I'm sorry, did you watch the ending? Again, how can they be together if they're separated between the alchemist world and the "real" world?

[klange]

Continuing on the topic of Gurren Lagann (Zeph blew my context...)
From the looks of it, we could be seeing a permanent addition to the Ani-Monday lineup (outside of the occasional movie they show),
seeing as SciFi is the only station showing the Bandai dubs and that it's a very new on-going Anime. This bodes well.

Then again, it's SciFi, so let's not get our hopes up. lol

[Heathen]

Wait.....Gurren-Lagann plays on Scifi?

[TeeKup]

Ani-Monday :D

[Heathen]

SAWEET. I love the show.

Been watching it here.
http://www.zomganime.com/anime/tengen-toppa-gurren-lagann/
They have the regular ep 6 however so I had to dl it.

[Co Redsonic]

Fullmetal ALchemist - #1 Fav
DBZ was good but GT absolutely destroyed it...
I havent watched Death Note, but it looks good - Ive seen the concept and some clips
Gundam Wing was EPIC WIN (Gundam in general is epic win)
Zatch bell was ok at first but it got WAY boring.

By the way: Avatar is considered NOT an anime, I heard.
Isnt Lucky Star like, hentai? xD I dont watch it, my friend does.

[Heathen]

Avatar is lame. Zatch Bell was the same as Avatar. IAWThePart about DBZ. FMA FTW. Absolutely love it.

[Jelly]

I'm sorry, did you watch the ending? Again, how can they be together if they're separated between the alchemist world and the "real" world?
Al came out of a suit of armor in the real world and they went on a search for a nuke. We're talking about the ending of the film, right?


Isnt Lucky Star like, hentai? xD I dont watch it, my friend does.
No, it's not Hentai, but I like it anyway ¬______¬

Seriously though, it's worth watching, though the story never goes anywhere. It's just following four schoolgirls' lives.

[ExAm]

There's a difference between hentai and ecchi. ecchi is stuffed with fanservice - panty shots, bewbs and the like. I don't think LS is ecchi either, though, but I haven't seen it, so I couldn't tell you.

[LlamaMaster]

No, lucky star isn't explicit at all. Well, at least from the first 17 minutes or so of the first episode. I got board and wanted to die after that. I mean seriously, they talked about food for like 8 minutes.

[ExAm]

I got board and wanted to die after that.Wait... You got board? :pervert:

[Edward Elrich]

Wow, 8 minutes of nothing but food? Sounds lame.

Absolute worst anime ever (yes, even worse than Yugioh)

DBZ and Trigun are like two of the only animes I was ever huge on. I kinda liked some others as well, like Cowboy Bebop.

Pokemon doesn't count as an anime. >:V

[Jelly]

You are such a liar.

[LlamaMaster]

Wait... You got board? :pervert:
Actually...theres some truth to that. There was so much sexual innuendo in the show that I was thinking about sex the whole time. You can only listen to so many lines like: "you hold it like this, and suck the cream out of this end" , before getting excited. :(

That's actually a parody of what happened in the manga and what will happen in the anime. I'm not going back to Naruto though until it's finished. They've already freaking milked it.

I will say that later in the series (like where the Manga currently is) there is a twist that I don't like.

[LlamaMaster]

First half I loled, second half was tl;dr.

[ultama121]

Haven't heard of it, but I just checked the ratings... wow.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1989

[Heathen]

That rating system confuses me. Did it get good ratings?

[ultama121]

A lot of excellents and very goods, even a few masterpieces. That usually translates to, DO WATCH ITS AWESOME. Atleast on anime news network.

[Heathen]

LOL, well it is excellent. You should watch the movie first though.

[ultama121]

Cool, does the movie come first as in chronological order?

[Heathen]

Pretty sure.

[ultama121]

Apparently it is, I checked. I'll probably read the manga first though.

[Heathen]

Yes, its very different, in a normal way.

[ultama121]

Although the Japanese are awesome... they are pretty messed up.

Ok... here is a list of hentai types according to wikipedia... WTF?


The scope of hentai encompasses the entire range of sexual fetishes, including:
Bakunyu, the depiction of women with large breasts. Literally translated to "bursting breasts".
Futanari, depictions of hermaphrodites or transsexuals that have both phallic genitalia (penis with scrotum, only a penal shaft, or an enlarged clitoris) and vaginal genitalia or a feminine hourglass shape including breasts and a penis plus scrotum.
BDSM, A spectrum of consensual sexual activities considered to be "kinky" or non mainstream, including such topics as power exchange (domination and submission), bondage, sadomasochism, spanking, etc.
Bestiality
Breast-oriented torture and Breast bondage, BDSM practices focusing on breasts, many times coupled with a variety of torture
Erotic lactation
Lolicon, depicts prepubescent or preadolescent girls.
Maiesiophilia
Omorashi (オモラシ / おもらし / お漏らし, Omorashi) in which individuals struggle with a full bladder before finally wetting themselves.
Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror
Shotacon, the depiction of young boys having intercourse, depicting young boys with older women, known as "straight shota" in western jargon.
Tentacle rape, the depiction of tentacled creatures and sometimes monsters (fictional imaginative or otherwise, also includes alien-like creatures) engaging in sex or rape with girls and less often men.
Incest sexual activity with legal family members noticiably seen in "The Sagara Family" a hentai computer game.

[Heathen]

Yeah, but I'm pretty fucked up too.


Bakunyu, BDSM, Lolicon, Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror, Unfortunately Tentacle rape, and Incest all interest me as far as hentai goes.

Lolicon ftw really.

E: Less often than others I will like some Omorashi , but far from often. And ONLY in hentai.

Yes, I am sad.

[ultama121]

Trying to imagine (w)horror...



VAGINA POUNDER

NO...
Erotic Lactation is the shit.

Edit: I bet in BDSM, that most of the time, the girls get the power. :-3

[Heathen]

Thanks for the recomendation

Np.

[LlamaMaster]

Yeah, but I'm pretty fucked up too.

Yes, I am sad.
:gonk: I gotta ask, what exactly is the appeal of lolicon? It has no tits, and no tits = no fun. From your point of view, why is it hot? (fucking stupid thing to ask, but w/e) Probably the worst thing I've fapped to is shibari (rope bondage, only in hentai), and neko. (not furry, just the ears and the tail) So I'm pretty normal? By the internet standards at least...

[klange]

This topic has become way too NSFW. OP has been updated to reflect new topic of discussion.

[ultama121]

Should I spoiler that wiki article?


Edit that might as well be a new post:

I actually just watched the first 3 episodes of Rosario + Vampire and I must say that they kind of ecchied up the anime. I can tell you personally from reading the manga that there was a whole lot less fan service in the manga than in the anime. If you only watched the anime and did/did not like it, I highly recomend going back to read the manga. Seriously. I realllllly think that they butchered it with fanservice. Hope anime watchers didn't get the wrong impression. :smith:

Also, start reading manga people! Hey look, its a website that allows you to read translated manga (most of which is not out in the states) online for free with great translations!

http://www.onemanga.com/

STAURT RAEDING

[Heathen]

Well I like neko and bondage so :/

IDK what it is about lolicon. I am a closet pedo. I sometimeswill see an 11 year olds and start thinking horrible things. It cant be helped really.

[TeeKup]

Heathens going to be a rapist. :haw:

[Heathen]

:D My friends pick on me for my lkings of severely underage girls.I'm only 15 and 12 is as low as I go. Now I wouldn't try anything with a 12 yr old, just look. As far as dating and all that mess, 13 may be as low as I would go but I prolly wont go lower than 14.

[teh lag]

IDK what it is about lolicon. I am a closet pedo. I sometimeswill see an 11 year olds and start thinking horrible things. It cant be helped really.

[ultama121]

Just watched some more of the Rosario + Vampire anime. I have to say, they made Moka cuter in the aspect of well... Kappuchu~ :-3. I want to get my blood sucked too! :smith:

Edit: Oh my god, I can't get over the fact that they made the ending credits so good! Seriously, the animation and music is just so perfect!

99IA0DEv5FE

Also, if you haven't watched the anime/read the manga, the sexual edge included in that ending song/animation is kind of unusual for the anime, but actually pretty cool at the same time.

[Bastinka]

Reason I don't like Anime:
Most of the time girls have very sexual features and take away from everything else that's going on in hopes of seeing something naughty. Underdressed female drawings in a cartoon/anime series are just.. :gonk:.

[ultama121]

That is something called fan service, Wind. Sadly, many animes are affected by it. :(
There are many animes that are not affected by it. Silent, if you want to get into it watch something like Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, or Samurai Champloo.

I'd highly recommend starting with Cowboy Bebop. You won't be dissapointed.

[Heathen]

Ultima, I am liking your recommendations. We have a VERY similar liking. Cowboy Bebop is great and the only time their is any fanservice is sometimes Faye, and Champloo is great, with the only fs being Fuu, but very rarely. I recently met the guy that does the voices of spike and mugen at Mechacon.

[Co Redsonic]

CowBoy Bebop IS :awesome:
Ive seen a few episodes, and the last episode.

[Edward Elrich]

Another without too many sexual references (but a couple come in as comedy relief): Fullmetal Alchemist. (plus the fact Vic Mignogna did an awesome job as Ed in the dub)

And one that's just plain good: Death Note.

[ultama121]

Ultima, I am liking your recommendations. We have a VERY similar liking. Cowboy Bebop is great and the only time their is any fanservice is sometimes Faye, and Champloo is great, with the only fs being Fuu, but very rarely. I recently met the guy that does the voices of spike and mugen at Mechacon.
Thanks. :D

Also, cool! Cowboy Bebop is the only anime in which I liked the dub.

Edit: Also guys, I highly recommend Claymore, it is one of the coolest mangas I have ever read. The anime is good, but it diverged from the manga and was ended in a stupid and abrupt way. (anime from sig and avatar)

[TeeKup]

WHY DID THIS BECOME A CHAN THREAD.

[ultama121]

Lawl.

[Jelly]

Oh god, I just watched the first episode of Black Lagoon. Bullets! Everywhere!

It is coming with me on holiday.

[ultama121]

Just read chapter 82 of Claymore since it was just released. That is one of the best/craziest/coolest mangas I have ever read.

[ultama121]

Ok double post because that was 2 days ago. I just watched the final episode of the Rosario + Vampire. That was quite different than what happened in the manga 0_o. I'll probably update with differences in the morning.

[Sel]

So after reading the encyclopedia dramatica page on Neon Genisis Evangelion I knew I must watch it. So I did, and it was lol.

[ultama121]

I thought that was supposed to be really good.

[ExAm]

It is.

[Stormwing]

I thought it was entirely meh. And anyone who says OMG ITS SO DEEP needs to get a clue.

But Rebuild was alright, and the end battle scene was fucking epic.

[Sel]

It was alright, but the ending was a load of shit, and there was not a terribly large amount of philosophy in it, which kind of disappointed me. However, there was a hilarious rape scene in episode 5, so that made it all worth it.

[ultama121]

Lol raep.

[Heathen]

I thought that was supposed to be really good.
It is.

E:
DAMN ExAm.

The guy that wrote it went mad and this was his expression of the feelings. The show shows characters being pulled into the chaotic world of the psyche and depression not often shown in anime. It WAS deep. You gotta see it for yourself.

[ultama121]

K.

[Pooky]

depression not often shown in anime.

:lol:

[n00b1n8R]

Angst =/= depression. :eng101:

[ultama121]

So after reading the encyclopedia dramatica page on Neon Genisis Evangelion
Finally looks it up there.

... Lol genitalia.

[Jelly]

Skip the first few episodes and watch Rebuild of Evangelion instead. It looks newer and there is less "chatacter development."

The floating shiny cube melts half a mountain. Awesomeness in a can.

[Stormwing]

And then
Unit 01 stands up holding the sniper in the smoke and flames lookin all I AINT GOIN DOWN YET MOTHAFUKKAAAAA :awesome:

[ultama121]

I finally just read the main story for the The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Kyon's point of view) and I have to say, that was incredibly well done. How it was executed and everything was very good.

Damn, I so called Haruhi kissing Kyon at the end.

[TeeKup]

And then
Unit 01 stands up holding the sniper in the smoke and flames lookin all I AINT GOIN DOWN YET MOTHAFUKKAAAAA :awesome:

Wait, they re did the scene from Mt. Futago and Rahiel?

[Stormwing]

Wait, they re did the scene from Mt. Futago and Rahiel?
I don't remember the names, but it was the one with the diamond-shaped beam-firing drilling-thru-geofront angel and positron rifle using all of Japan's power, etc.

It was already pretty cool in the original series, but the Rebuild version is insane. And you gotta see what the Angel does too.

Part of the final shot is in the first 20 seconds of this trailer:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=wI9rhVgRCys&feature=related
and that's just the tip of the iceberg of awesome.

[TeeKup]

Yes that was Rahiel, the 6th Angel. God I loved the sound of its Accelerated Particle Beam Cannon. <3

E: Excuse me thats actually Ramiel the 5th angel.

[ultama121]

Just watched some of the anime of TMOHS. I watched it chronologically rather than the weird messed up way that they tried to get you to watch it.

[Jelly]

Just watched some of the anime of TMOHS. I watched it chronologically rather than the weird messed up way that they tried to get you to watch it.
That's how I watched it first time. The climax is in the middle ;_;

I rewatched it in the airing order last week, but since I'd seen it before it didn't help me appreciate the anime any more.

Also, at the latest two episodes of Code Geass:
FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKK

Ledouche you totally just possibly killed your sister in an indirect and ironic fashion. If the anime ends now I will kill myself.

[TeeKup]

No need to worry. Code Geass R2 is beyond epic. Jelly would you like to see the new Guren?

[Heathen]

Just finished Elfen Lied. Holy Shiiiiit.

Best thing ever.

Hands down.

[Stormwing]

No need to worry. Code Geass R2 is beyond epic. Jelly would you like to see the new Guren?
If he saw the
black hole nuke Freia-whatever thing,
I think he did. Geass is still a dumb show though. Entertaining, but dumb.

Also, Teekie, you see the latest Gundam 00 S2 preview yet? Good song/new OP, and the most badass Exia ever.
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=-T7ELrTDmWk

[ultama121]

Meh, I've read the manga up to the latest chapter translated, and most of the anime. I really do not see whats so good about it. The dialogue is rather awful and the storyline isn't even that great. It is one of the most intense series I've followed though. The ending in the manga is much more concluding and about a thousand times more depressing.

Won't get into details why or how, but Kouta and Lucy end up at the top of a building and Kouta has been shot. From the shock of it, Lucy pretty much shouts that she is going to destroy the world. About a second later she releases this aura of power and her hand melts off. (the more power she uses, the more she melts) Although Kouta is still alive, he can't take much more, so Lucy devotes the rest of her power to protecting Kouta from the incoming army that has detected Lucy. As she protects Kouta she sings Elfen Lied (some German opera-like song) even though she continually melts. Eventually, she is no more than a body and a head. While in this state, Kouta wakes up, and Lucy wants him to shoot her. (That was what happened at the end of the latest chapter (103 of 107) so its pretty close to the ending)

In other words: :smith:

[Heathen]

SHIIIT. That sounds like a great ending.

[ultama121]

Its probably going to be rather :smith: though.

[Heathen]

ja. Really great show though.

[Jelly]

No need to worry. Code Geass R2 is beyond epic. Jelly would you like to see the new Guren?

R2 is what I was talking about :3

EDIT: Just remembered that I finished Black Lagoon on Holiday.

Worried that your show is getting too good? Why not make the Japanese voice actors try and speak English? Guaranteed to lose you fans in no time!

The only thing I remember clearly is "Burrets," but the subtitles said "Bullets"

:gonk:

[ultama121]

OK ITS OFFICIAL. EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH ERGO PROXY.

Its a very dark, realistic, and sci-fi-y anime. Explaining it via synopsis would not do it justice, just give it a trial run and watch the first episode.

Its hard to find for whatever reason, except I struck gold and found the complete series with subs streaming online. :D

http://www.gofish.com/channel.gfp?gfid=50-5795&videoGfid=30-1165308

Just a few important notes when watching it through that link:
1. Watch it in full screen or the ads at the bottom of the video will cover up the subtitles constantly.
2. The stream starts at the last episode for some reason so just pick the first episode unless you want some big spoilers. ;)

Also, they used Paranoid Android by Radio Head for the ending song. :)

[Jelly]

I found a torrent pretty quickly :3 (http://www.boxtorrents.com/torrent/129615/Shinsen-Subs_Pino-no-Usagi_Ergo_Proxy.html)

Cool thanks, I'll check it out, always open to new shows.

It won't be days if it's Boxtorrents.

[ultama121]

Hmm... I'm not familiar with Boxtorrents, if your downloading through that, what's your average speed?

There's a lot of seedboxes on it, so speeds often max out my connection. That's on the registered tracker, though, I'm not sure if less seeds are available on the public version.

Just a few important notes when watching it through that link:
1. Watch it in full screen or the ads at the bottom of the video will cover up the subtitles constantly.
2. The stream starts at the last episode for some reason so just pick the first episode unless you want some big spoilers. ;)

Also, they used Paranoid Android by Radio Head for the ending song. :)I'm a month ahead of you :v:

My friend's boyfriend uploaded all of the japanese episodes at one point, but they were deleted. I watched the English dub, though, i'm not sure whether those are still up.

The link in my post is to all the Japanese eps subbed. Streaming. I'd never watch a dub if there was a Japanese sub available.

Dubs can be better in certain anime. Black Lagoon, FLCL and Cowboy Bebop are some of the dubs that I preferred over the subs. I'm currently getting the LIME Dual Audio version of Ergo Proxy, so if I don't like the dub I can switch to Japanese audio and English subs.

[ExAm]

I watch dubs whenever I can get them, since I do more things at once while watching than staring at the window. I don't want to have to focus on reading subtitles.

I understand Cowboy Bebop because that dub was amazingly well done (Although I don't really think it could be any better than the sub), not so sure about FLCL though, I've seen one of the episodes for the dub and it didn't strike me as anything too special. Haven't watched Black Lagoon so I can't say anything about that. I usually have no problem with subs, I usually just um... pay attention and don't get distracted. :p

I watched End of Evangelion, and it started out good, involving him jacking off on this unconscious chick, but then it kinda sucked when it just went to Shinji crying for the last 80 minutes of the movie.

Then at the end he magically appears on a beach and starts strangling her for no apparent reason.

Cowboy Bebop, yes, dub was fantastic.

Oh look guys, more Fullmetal Alchemist.

[ultama121]

It'll probably start at the manga divergence and continue on from there rather than continuing a story line that should rest rather than continue. If I'm right, you guys are in for a big treat. Many manga readers agree that its a lot better than the anime in many ways. (Wait... how is that possible? :v:)

[Co Redsonic]

New FMA? YESSSSS

[Heathen]

FMA New? Sahweet.

[ultama121]

Woah... this anime is a bit of a slow starter, but its really interesting. Its called Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When the Cicadas Cry in English, or even When They Cry). It is a psycological/emotional thriller. The story rages is a bunch of different directions. Its really... intense to say the least. It starts out rather light hearted and then just kind of goes crazy. Its actually composed of many different arcs involving the same characters. I'm pretty sure its still ongoing. I think it isn't uploaded anywhere for streaming, so I got mine via boxtorrents. (Jelly ftw :cool:) If somebody can't use Bittorrent for some reason, I can upload it to Veoh if I have the time.

Got into Code Geass a few days ago, I'm on season 2

Does any of the Sonic shows count? Those are the only japanese cartoons I've ever seen.

(Sonic The Hedgehog, Sonic Underground, Sonic X etc.)

No. Get out.



...if it was made in Japan they still count, but it's not what people think of when they hear "anime".

[ultama121]

That anime that I was talking about in my previous post is perhaps the most different anime I've ever watched. It is composed of many arcs with all of the same characters with usually ill-fated endings. At the beginning of a new arc, all of the ill-fated events (ie the death of a major character) never happened, so the anime still continues on. This is probably the first anime I've ever watched that uses this strange parallel universes. Since there are many unanswered questions by the end of each arc, those questions are answered in another arc. (The anime has Question arcs and Answer arcs) It's by far one of the most interesting anime's I have ever watched... ever.

Besides that, its pretty fun to watch lolis kill each other. :lol:

E2: If you're going to watch this anime though, know that there is going to be some rather painful/brutal things in it. Sometimes I even went 0_0. And usually anime gore doesn't seem as bad as it is in this anime.

[ExAm]

Aw, goddamnit. I just finished Cowboy Bebop. It ended in a way that I hate shows to end.

Spike dies :(

[n00b1n8R]

But how epic was it. He makes Duke Nukem look like a pussy.

[Co Redsonic]

Well, he is what he eats.....

[Pooky]

Well, SatAM Sonic (the good one) and Sonic Underground weren't Japanese, but Sonic X (see: shit) is.

[Heathen]

Yes.

[ultama121]

Ok, manga ending to Elfen Lied... basically. They just translated ch 106 and the last ch is 107.
Basically what happened is that after Lucy protected Kouta, she was basically a melted puddle and her Dinoculous personality took over. She was about to annhilate Kouta and everybody, but Nyuu and Lucy's personalities take control and use pure will to redirect the vectors. They then appear in front of Kouta (nude of course :p) but they are just illusions created by their will, they aren't physical bodies. They then tell Kouta to kill them by shooting the melted body. Kouta couldn't do it, but when you think that he is about to get owned, along with everyone else, Lucy and Nyuu take over and use their vectors to give Kouta the gun. He takes the gun and the chapter ends with a line (said by Kouta) saying, "Thats when I killed them...". Ugh, very ;_; ending. Now the only one who actually loves Kouta is his cousin... wtf why incest? Its probably just going to end with Kouta ending up with his cousin, being happily together but remebering Lucy/Nyuu. Ugh.

[Heathen]

Actually I fell for one of my cousins.
Let me explain before the incest Louisiana train comes in.
Happened like this.
We started to like each other early on last year.
Then we found out we were related so I chilled on the flirting mostly but she didn't.
We found out we werent cousins soon after that.
We kissed at a foot ball game.
She came to my house one afternoon while I was sleeping and kissed me.
Things led on that day because no one was at my house cept her and I and I sleep in my boxers.
Nothing too far though so dont get THAT idea.
I then found out that we were cousins again.
After freaking out (more because I was totally gay for her but couldnt be with her since she was my cousin), I found out that it was by marriage, and they divorced.


SO :D

Now she and I are pretty damn close.

[klange]

Lucky?

That is probably the most amazing thing ever. :lol:

[teh lag]

So I watched Gurren Lagann. I am still reeling from the distilled amazing that the final episodes emit.


Things get punched so hard they rip a hole in space-time.


Anyone who hasn't seen it is missing out on something amazing. Seriously - visuals, music, everything. Refer to Heathen's post (somewhere way back in this thread) for linkage.

Ya.

Nesting mechs was an awesome concept. The thing that really carried the show for me was the fact that the good guys always win by sheer I-can-punch-the-fuck-out-of-shit-just-because-I-say-so awesome.

[Bastinka]

I don't get the deal with mechs :X

[ExAm]

They're giant walking machines that make stuff go 'splodey boom. What's not to like?

[teh lag]

I don't get the deal with mechs :X

This is the deal with mechs. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTx1oaGbj58)


Srs response :

I didn't (and for the most part still don't) like most anime mecha stuff, but this was something else. I guess it's either something you think is awesome or you don't.

[Heathen]

I loved MegasXLR :P

Seriously, can someone add "Thread" to the end of the topic title again? I would if I could...
