The General Anime Thread...

SEL has psychological as well, but it's not all it has going for when it comes to the great head:censored:

 

[Lain]

But I think we can all agree on: Okabe > Lain > Shinji.

Nope, we definitely can't.

Lain > Okabe > Shinji, we can though. 👍

...if we're talking about likeable characters. In terms of depth, Okabe's far behind the other two.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Shinji's depth is more of an unfortunate fact than a good point


All the other characters in NGE are good with their depth though.

 

[Cano]

Nope, we definitely can't.

I'm with the guy with the bear hat right here. Okabe was an awful character.

 

[DK]

^ Exactly, Kurisu had a point whenever she used that word tsunderes love to use.

 

[Lain]

Nah, it's definitely a good point. If it weren't for his depth, EoE would be totally different.

And let me just re-iterate this point... Just because a character isn't supposed to be totally awesome and likeable, that doesn't mean that they're a bad character.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Nah, it's definitely a good point. If it weren't for his depth, EoE would be totally different.

I can accept this with open arms. EoE was :censored:ing awesome.

And let me just re-iterate this point... Just because a character isn't supposed to be totally awesome and likeable, that doesn't mean that they're a bad character.

I agree. I may not like Shinji's personality, but his family backstory is :censored:in' awesome and twisted.

I really really hate him as a character though, but that was most likely the intended effect. Or maybe GAINAX wanted people like TC to have an anime character to relate to. It was a long time ago before every main character was a giant pussy.

Well all in all Asuka is pretty complex, just like Misato.

Lain is big mental puzzle, since she has something that involves a whole bunch of spoilers.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Lain is a mental puzzle I enjoy. Glad I own the series.... wherever it may be. I think that's one of the shows my brothers broke.

 

[Lain]

Great, hate him all you want. 👍

He wasn't made for viewers to think he's cool and wish they were like him. He was made to be "so ****ed up".

 

[DK]

All of the characters are pretty complex, except for SEELE, who just seem to be a bunch of fundamentalist bakas.

 

[Dravonic]

HotD had tension, drama, great animation, great music and some seriously wicked action. If they removed boobs, boobs, boobs and ditsy :censored:in' characters. It would have been an absolutely fantastic show.

I have yet to become one of those cynics that believe zombies = instant terrible cliche. So I don't want some goddamn show trying to prove me wrong.

The animation and action were great. How they pulled of drama from time to time was surprising. But tension not so much. After a while it became quite clear that nothing would happen. Zombies would literally stop in front of the characters and wait for them to finish their sentences

Anyway, you obviously have not seen many zombie movies then

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Anyway, you obviously have not seen many zombie movies then

I have, but I try to stay positive that zombies can still be something great.

 

[Lain]

I have, but I try to stay positive that zombies can still be something great.

Like 28 Days Later.

28 Weeks Later, on the other hand, wasn't so great. But it had moments of awesome, such as the first scene and also the helicopter scene.

 

[Akira AC]

With awesome Monolith intercoms


And Zombieland(I know mainstream) was pretty good, not Robert Rodriguez good but still pretty good.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Zombieland was good, but I want serious zombie stories, yo!


Reworked my sig, thoughts?

 

[ranhammerR34]

Guilty Crown 12:

Spoiler

That was something else. Gai is Shu's childhood friend.... Inori is a replica of Shu's sister Mana.. which Mana was in love with Shu. WOW at the ending.

Awesome. --- Randy

 

[Akira AC]

Serious Zombie stories

The only thing I could think is Dawn of the Dead(1979, the George Romero's version), apart from that IDK.

Anime lacks in this area, I know Vampires have an awesome background but Zombies should get some love.

 

[TheCorvette]

Zombies? Did I hear zombies?!

I can't wait for season 2! April come faster!I need my second seasons of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? and Fate/Zero!

Also FUNimation, when are you going to solicit Is this a Zombie? Limited Edition?!!

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Kore zombie desu ka? has some really ballin' action.

 

[TheCorvette]

Kore zombie desu ka? has some really ballin' action.

Especially when you got a protagonist that can be cut up into a million pieces, and won't die because he's already dead.

Too bad that would make a lot of work for Yuu if he were cut up that bad.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

There were two extremely epic points in the show. The fight against the serial killer and episode 11.


So awesome.

 

[Azuremen]

Dat Guilty Crown. Takes on a bit of a new meaning now, the title.

 

[TheCorvette]

Oh yeah, when I get that CR membership finally this year, I can get 1080P!Now let's hope this laptop can handle that (It can handle YouTube 1080P, but many of those aren't really 1080P
http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-747465/crunchyroll-to-now-stream-in-1080p
This is what the family laptop is, still on Windows XP.

[Cano]

The only thing that matters now is:

WHEN WILL THE STREAM START?

I needs my Nichijou.

 

[Lain]

That reminds me, TC... I'm planning on rewarding person-faces who make notable contributions to TAGP.

Figured a little incentive might help those of you who are somewhat less-than-motivated to participate.

Oh and by "notable", I mean subjectively notable to me. Churning out a bunch of rushed crap for quantity's sake won't be getting you any swag for it.
And not that I think any of you would do this, but... if I catch anyone plagiarizing, you get no swag and you also get your author privileges permanently revoked.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Is plagiarizing really a concern?


BUT YEAH, Persona 4 The Animation! I love this show. Nanako was super ad'awwwwable once again and Yuu was awesome(as always). Explosive fishing is manly, but turning down a hot nurse is not. Damn it.

I can't wait for the actual plot to start up again, but these filler episodes are awesome. This show never disappoints and is my current favourite of the season. So:

1. Persona 4
2. Guilty Crown
3. Mirai Nikki
4. Haganai
5. Shakugan no Shana Third

Btw, this is totally the Cano show. Everyone gets glasses! Also, Yukiko :3

 

[Lain]

Is plagiarizing really a concern?

Am I concerned that people will actually plagiarize? Not really, no. Especially you guys.

Am I concerned that if people plagiarize, we'll get in trouble for it? Nope.

The main thing is I just don't want plagiarized reviews on the blog, and especially not in the PDF, and I'd rather make it unnecessarily clear that plagiarization won't be tolerated than to assume people know and have it happen because they don't.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

I'm going to plagiarize like crazy up in hurr!


🤬 your system!

 

[Lain]
