Super Saiyan Witchblade gives a me raging woody.

🤬

 

[jeffgoddin]

Bamboo blade is girls kempo tournament (sword fighting HS level)

 

[TheCorvette]

It also has a pretty good story, and pretty good humor. It didn't really make me laugh out loud (There aren't many shows that can make me do so.), but it definitely was full of funny moments.

BTW, the main character, Tamaki is an otaku that loves ALL anime.
(No, this is not Oreimo meets Kendo.)

 

[Cano]

well people, nite.

 

[C-ZETA]

Space Cowboys > Samurais > Cowboys > Steins;Gate

Let me suggest...seeing as it is quite clear you don't like SG, why not avoid the semi-colon now to avoid the fans even more I never bother with it myself.

You suck. BAD. I can smell you all the way from Mexico.

Called it. BOOM

 

[jeffgoddin]

well people, nite.

Nice!!!!

And keeping up with this thread is preventing me from indulging in my urge to compulsively re-watch WM... Screencap from my pause moment:

 

[Terronium-12]

I never said I liked it, but it sounds of "happy family" when I hear it....

I skip it every damn time. Psychic Lover is so much better.

All I get when I hear it for those few seconds before skipping is "WTF is...this?"

Super Saiyan Witchblade gives a me raging woody.

🤬

Spoilers, dude!


I think.

Just tried Burst Angel and here's what I think of the first episode:

Spoiler

I can't tell you how much I despise the combination of CG and traditional hand drawn animation...that's why I dropped Vandread after the first episode, and flirted with the idea of doing the same to this after only 3 minutes. Anyway, I think I quite like it so far...but Meg is another red-headed Asuka-style biotch.

It's only the first episode so we'll see how it goes. I unknowingly walked right into watching an action anime with mecha tones in it - why does that happen to me with practically every anime I watch? The animation (bar the computer animated mecha bits) is so far fantastic and a bit...old school, late 90's style. I don't care much for the dubbed voices but I've heard far worse so this won't bother me much.

Oh, and Meg is hot. It's always the hot redheads that are bitchified.

 

[TheCorvette]

You dropped Vandread? Son I am disappoint, especially when season 2, Vandread: The Second Stage was excellent.

 

[Terronium-12]

You dropped Vandread? Son I am disappoint, especially when season 2, Vandread: The Second Stage was excellent.

I couldn't put up with the way it went from hand drawn to computer generated - that...that's just so out of place. Even when it's done well I can't help but cringe a little bit.

Do one or the other. Don't combine them both and risk the incredibly high potential of having the two clash...especially when the CG image is in the same frame as the hand drawn image.

Witchblade

Spoiler

Was hoping for more intense fighting, but it was more about the emotion.

I almost want to cry but the scriptwriters seemed like they were being rushed...

 

[DK]

And if it's the episodic nature of Cowboy Bebop that bothers you, well... your loss? Each misadventure of theirs is either action-packed, laugh-out-loud hilarious, Über-emotional... or often all of the above.

True dat.

But it certainly becomes more prominent at the end, since the end is obviously where the major plot reaches its climax.

Also true. LOL climax

 

[jeffgoddin]

Poorly integrated CG and cells pissed me off in the late 90's or so. Today it is simply inexcusable, and like you I'll instantly drop an anime which grossly distracts me with such poor production quality.

I told you that!

It's just nasty. Like I said, do one or the other. Don't do both.

Not even when it's done well. It still bothers me.

 

[jeffgoddin]

If I can tell, it's not done well. But I suspect some studios are getting so good that I won't be able to tell.

 

[AOS-]

Oh my....

 

[jeffgoddin]

Here's a bit of sound from WM. Not the best example of what you'll hear from the Devil Z in the series, but in the first couple seconds of this youtube vid you'll hear a little of the great sound this anime captures

 

[Terronium-12]

School Rumble is 🤬 hilarious!

I love it.

 

[Akira AC]

School Rumble is 🤬 hilarious!

I love it.

It is 🤬 fantastic.

And Harima is probably the most funny male character you can ever see.

Steins;Gate ep. 1

Spoiler

Kurisu-tina ded... Something ain't right here. I can sense that she'd be back to life later in the series... Kinda obvious anyway.

Okabe, the schizophrenic scientist!

Well seeing Kurisu-tina back to life isn't much of a suprise.

I'm watching this while eating hotdogs, so I might as well call Steins;Gate, errrrr, Steins;Hotdogs.

So far, first impressions. Scenes look like they're waayyy to short, it feels like a compilation of 5secondfilms clips added altogether. It's kinda predictable too. Seeing [classified information] seemed... expected. But well that's just the first episode

I wonder why the intro's not in the first episode... Maybe it was "cut out" or something. Bah, who cares about something unimportant. And about the intro itself, I coulda sworn I heard an 8-bit sound effect in the music.

The numbers... WHAT DO THEY MEAN?! (Yes, I'm talking about why it reminded me of COD:BO again.)

Steins;Gate ep. 2

Spoiler

GOD KYO- I mean, OKABE, WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU UP TO NOW?!

 

[domino5343]

Steins;Gate is a great show. It starts of a little slow but the ending will blow you away.

 

[uMadson?]

I wonder why Feyris-tan rang bells in my mind. Have someone posted a pic of her?

*goes into Okabe-style net lurking*

Final words on episode 2

Spoiler

I liek nanners

And with the 3, errr, two girls and 1 cross-dresser introduced into the plot... Things are starting to get interesting. Finally people get to understand what Okabe's up to lmao.

Steins;Gate is a great show. It starts of a little slow but the ending will blow you away.

Hopefully.

[uMadson?]

^ I dig.

Might be worth a try... Screw the details.

BEEECCTTHH...

 

[Sephy]

And now I go, because everyone in this thread is far too insane to have a conversation with.

Lol'd hard!

What if it was Canadian cinema cliches?

If it was anything Canadian it would just be an anime about hockey and Tim Hortons.

10 Things Outlaw Star Has Taught Us

1. If your last name is "Starwind" you're awesome, by default.
2. Aisha is a tease, and possibly easy.
3. The Galactic Leyline is real, so suck it.
4. Harry was an egotistical, maniacal, masochistic jackass who got owned by Hazanko.
5. Hot Springs Planet Tenrei is the best episode. Ever. Of any anime.
6. We need a Planet Tenrei.
7. It doesn't matter how old or how many ailments you have, when it comes to lewd footage of a hot chick you're instantly light on your feet.
8. Gilliam II is da man, or rather, is da AI.
9. Jim will never know what happened to Hanmyo.
10. We really need a Planet Tenrei. What about this aren't you understanding?

Should I be ashamed I haven't seen Outlaw Star, and or how it doesn't interest me at all?

Yes.

What the? FLCL THAT high up? What...?

Wow, noticed that thread is from 2007. It got bumped once in 2009, again in 2010, and again this year. Still, even in 2007, FLCL being THAT high up?

I don't know why you're surprised. Everyone loves that show. The list overall is okay but needs a little fixing.

To answer the OP, I love funny anime but dark ones too. Favorites have to be:
Cowboy Bebop
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
Darker Than Black
Reborn(although they need to finish it)
Hajime no Ippo
Major(favorite of all time and best sports anime)
Eyeshield 21
One outs
Durarara
Gintama
Naruto shippueden( fillers suck though)
GTO
Hunter X Hunter
Tenchi Muyo
Trigun

I got way more but these are my top choices.

Welcome to the thread!

Your list is fine, just take Naruto off of it.


Have you seen Evangelion? I think you'd like it.

Silence. I know you understand why I don't like Trigun. You just like Vash's stupidity.

Vash is a funny guy but I actually watch Trigun because I love the story. It's messed up.

Also, I broke down and made a DVDA account.

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

I might have to give that a try.

SHE'S STARING RIGHT AT MY SOUL...
"You're creeping me out, you know..."
It feels good to be a tryhard driftking18594.

-------

Is that... Feyris-tan?! You've got to be kidding me... OH WHY DIDN'T I REALIZE IT EARLIER?!

-------

I haven't seen what's so special with Kurisu-tina's tsundere attitude... It seemed less blatant that Asuka's.

-------

"In 2015, WW3 occurs"

Well that's kinda true...

-------

Steins;Gate, Episode 3. Will never be released... You get the lame pun, right?

Spoiler

Human is ded.

100 bucks say it's Kurisu.

Thanks. Naruto is alright to me, plus I followed it from the beginning so I'm not gonna give up on it yet.

I did see Evangelion. It's a must see so I had to see it. It was while ago though.


Plus, to add to the trigun thing, it ended to short. I wanted more. Trigun stupidity was the icing to the story. Defiently when his attitude turns completely opposite, it's just awesome.

I'll top that

Oh, let me top that again...

If it was anything Canadian it would just be an anime about hockey and Tim Hortons.

I am thoroughly offended....by your insolence! *Sends 3 table bombers to your house*

 

[C-ZETA]

If it was anything Canadian it would just be an anime about hockey and Tim Hortons.

So so tempted to put this in my sig... But I won't, for fear of upsetting the AOS-tian.

Also...as a quick observation on Ep 4 of Haruhi...

Spoiler

We see when Mikuru's future self shows up that she seems to act really provocatively at first with Kyon...then when she realises 'it hasn't happened yet'...what could she mean by that? Does it get told in the main story or will we ever get to know?

 

[uMadson?]

So yeah, I got to watch S;G because I don't have any headache to bother me, aside from my exams next week. My crap PC can't handle simraceway's graphics so I'mma wait 'till my PC gets upgraded again. Tried to tell my mom to buy a new PC altogether instead but she said that the $$ isn't present at all.

Nighty night people.
