The General Anime Thread...

Loli is only being dekkai picky about it, the others seem to be under the impression that Loli thinks it's of low quality, which is dekkai stupid!

 

[otakukid96]

I personally can't accept RWBY as an anime. Main reason is that it isn't Japanese. Sure, I'm gonna watch it, but won't think of it as anime.

 

[DK]

It seems Tiernyan loves that word dekkai much.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

You should dekkai watch Aria The Animation. Then you'd understand.

 

[AOS-]

Maybe then it'll wipe the asuka subtext.

Pyui pyui nui!

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Maaaaa

If anyone is curious how the anime market in North America is doing, someone has the highlights from the report ANN never reported that's an update to this article from 2011.

Interesting to see sales are basically stable after that big drop (Part of which I blame on singles dying out), and not on the decline too much.

Finished DtB Black Contractor and almost done Gemini. Shame it's only 12 episodes.

I want to know what happened between first and second season.

If you want to know what happened between first and second season, watch the four specials episodes, DtB Gaiden.

It's just the random things given to Mr.Wizard. For example, Yoko Figma and a SAO body pillow.

Yeah, I thought I linked you to the ova and told you to watch that before gemini.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

He totally did it the smart way, because airing order is best

It actually upsets me that you need Gaiden to understand Gemini and Gemini to understand Gaiden. But the writers just needed to make everything dekkai complicated.

Well they keep playing back that flashback scene with Yin to the point I think I've more or less figured out what happened after Black Contractor. So far Gemini holds a much darker setting than Black Contractor and I'm totally okay with this. Black Contracter was hella episodic which made it difficult for it to dive into anything deep like Gemini is doing. However, Gemini itself seems to be skipping along the surface at times I find myself wanting more. Only got two episodes left so I'll wait to see how stuff comes down.

Dat Figma and body pillow.

[Hei]

And what does this have to do with anime?

 

[Shinshiki]

Seems like Mr.Wizard always has a big orange shirt on.

Maybe TC is post-whoring?

 

[TheCorvette]

And what does this have to do with anime?

Not very much (Which makes me question a bit why ANN reported on it...), but non-anime stuff has been posted here before.

Pacific Rim anybody?

 

[Hei]

PAcific rim was posted here because it seems to have been influenced by EVangelion. TGAT 1, TC 0.

 

[TheCorvette]

More like various mecha anime, and Japanese monster movies as well. I've seen plenty of people compare it to Mazinger Z which predates NGE by two decades for example.

RIP

The official Twitter feed for the Chibi Neko Tom no Dai Boken anime announced on Thursday that anime director and storyboard artist Ryutaro Nakamura (Serial Experiments Lain, Kino's Journey) had passed away on June 29 at 4 p.m. after months of being hospitalized while fighting colon cancer. The announcement was made after permission was given by his family. He was 58 years old at the time of his death.

Nakamura was the director of the Chibi Neko Tom no Dai Boken anime before his passing. He is possibly best known for his work as director on the Serial Experiments Lain anime. He is also known as the director of the Kino's Journey, Sakura Wars, and Ghost Hound anime series'.

Or some other bright color, he lost a good amount of weight though.

Very true. He was a lot bigger when I was in high school.

That sucks.

 

[Roger the Horse]

Sad. My condolences to his friends and family. Serial Experiments Lain has to be my favourite anime... Actually favourite TV show (perhaps bar Adventure Time), RIP.

Victorique. Guys remember her?

If Good Smile does the black goth loli dress, it will likely sit in the top 100 most sought-after figurines. It's just that wonderful.

 

[Sage Ages]

I like anime but, I barley know anything about it. I feel awkward.

 

[TheCorvette]

You shouldn't too much, there's tons out there that don't know much. Why there are people that think FUNimation made DBZ.

Yes.. even though i havent seen the show yet, I didnt know she was that popular saying its top 100
material.

EDIT

Also finished kokoro-connect a few days ago and it was really good , the characters where great but i thought there could of been a little more depth into the "incidences" which the 1st one was cool but after ep1 they lost the POV shock and aw feeling.

Also started Kamisama dolls as i write now.
