Landiskan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) I'm actually, to my surprise, enjoying Gundam Seed. I'm at episode 22 now, about to start 23. my friend bullied me into watching this. It's not as bad as I feared. of course I still want to strangle some characters but eh, that's normal for me. In other news a friend wants me to visit Japan and dress up for some convention. No. Just no. I am not dressing up in some pervert-issue costume! p.s. What is a Prestidigitator?

Tale Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Watched an episode of Code Geass yesterday. Surprisingly dark and looking good. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I'm hungry for season 2 of Code Geass. The first one was the most unfiltered piece of dramatic awesome and just pure love for the whole genre. It has all the retardation of mecha and school that you can think of, but CLAMP did an unbelievably good job on the characters, I'm constantly at the edge of my seat over the plot and the action is epic yet refreshing without homing rainbow multilasers or seven swells. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theslug Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah Code Geass was pretty cool. I wasn't digging the begining of the show but it grew on me. Still some flaws in the show but good stuff. I've been waiting on season 2, I need my fill of pizza hut advertisement and loligoodness. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musopticon? Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Chobits is a great manga, it's CLAMP's alumni right there. Can't say much abou the anime though, I heard it has a lot of filler. Edited February 26, 2008 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

jaguars4ever Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The first half of season 1 Deathnote was TOTALLY SWEET AND AWESOME. The second half was a bit of a train-wreck but overall the first season was still very solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) gundum OO question what happened to reporter lady? gutshot Hey guys! I'm on a massive anime kick and am in need of something to watch that I've missed over the years. What are the absolute favorite series around here? I'm talking major anime kick. This past week I've watched Code Geass, Claymore, bits of Trigun, bits of Martian Successor Nadesico, and I demand MOOOOORE. I'll probably buy Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid sometime this week.

Tale Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Already seen that, how about a list of the several favs? And I agree it was awesome. After I watched it I couldn't watch anything for a while. I had to take a nap because living just wasn't awesome enough anymore by comparison. My list is going to be: Record of Lodoss War Code Geass Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Comedies like Haruhi and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei are good too, but never have that lasting appeal that makes me watch them 20 times. Or even Martian Successor Nadesico, which has the appeal for at least 5 viewings! I'd mention Macross Plus, but the blasted thing is too short for my kick.

Xard Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Evangelion 1.0 wins Anime of the year at Tokyo's Anime Fair Gurren-Lagann was rewarded for best character design and took honorable mention (or did it share the prize, I don't know, article is little bit unclear) for best TV animation These awards seem like political crap to me. I can only speak for the Gainax/Khara shows though since I haven't seen the others. Hideaki Anno is a terrible director, and he wasn't even the Director for Evangelion 1.0 according to ANN credits, it was Kazuya Tsurumaki, so letting Evangelion win is just for "anime politics" I would suspect. I haven't seen Eva 1.0 yet though for myself (I'm just very familiar with Anno and Tsurumaki's styles...btw I'm not implying that they are similar) so I might change my mind when I do. About character designer, that also looks like a political award to me. I am not sure exactly what Atsushi Nishigori did and didn't do for Gurren-Lagann, and I acknowledge that Yoko is an excellent character design, but that's it. She's only one person. Everyone else in Gurren-Lagann looks like characters from Samurai Jack (or Dead Leaves). Anyone who thinks that's high quality character art is an idiot. Of course since that's in ANN some (un)intentional lulz is unavoidable thanks to village idiots like GATSU who bitch about anything that isn't made by Satoshi Kon. Heaven forbid they have something to do with GAINAX. After recently watching all of the early GAINAX and Hideaki Anno works I am even more sure than before Hideaki Anno is one of the few top-class anime directors. His and Tsurumaki's styles are rather similar too. And Gurren-Lagann characters are from Samurai Jack? Pfffft. Meshugger, as you can see, it is possible to dislike Gurren-Lagann "cuz the characters are from Samurai Jack". That said I think it is somewhat corny giving Eva 1.0 award that requires that the winner "made the greatest contribution to the world of anime" that year. Evangelion 1.0 was frickin' awesome movie, but it's about as innovative as 70 % shot-to-shot recreation of TV series back from 1995 can be. Meh, I guess it's the popularity award after all.

Atreides Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Glad you guys are enjoying stuff. I'd recommend School Rumble (season 1 then 2) for the epic lulz and then check out Honey and Clover (season 1 and 2 - though I enjoyed 1 more) for a drama-ey show that's still awesome. But it's sorta few years old. On new stuff, I tried an ep or two of Spice and Wolf which did look interesting. I still follow Rental Magica when I can lol. Also check out Darker than Black if you haven't. Btw there's some Persona one that I was looking forward to. Hope I'll get to watch it sometime.

Musopticon? Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) Ouran Kokou Hosutobu! It's ragingly hilarious, so you've probably already seen it. Another is KareKano(His and Her Circumstances), just a damned good romance there, with Anno-awsumness. The supporting characters are a hoot as well. As you've probably guessed, right now I'm on a shoujo-binge, just started Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge(Perfect Girl Evolution). Yes, yes! I admit my failure as a man, but I'm having a great time! On the other hand, if you cannot stretch your manhood thin enough to stomach these, there's always Honey and Clover and arguably the best anime ever, Noir.

Tale Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) I dunno. My go-to-guy for anime says: Noir was another "just ok" series that I couldn't finish. And this is my go-to-guy!
