The General Anime Thread...

[TheCorvette]

God, if I had to pick Bleach eps worth watching (assuming you already had the gist of the backstory) it probably wouldn't add up to 20% of the total. But at times it has been really good, and since I'm already caught up, just one episode a week is easy. Right now they're in the Fullbring arc, where I think Strawberry-boy will get his powers back, and then maybe we can move on to something serious again. Though honestly, they should have ended it with Aizen's defeat... but I suppose it's a shame to waste nice characters. Just that it's starting to feel like a soap opera, going on forever with no end in sight.

Unfortunately, Tite Kubo wants to keep the trolling going for another 10 years.

I wanted more after Aizen's defeat (Finally), but not that much. Even just 5 more years of Bleach is overkill.

I finished screaming.

Anyone got some other glassed anime girls that I need to see?

I'm going to bed. Goodnight everyone!

EDIT: The anti-brony group is gone. I lol'd.

 

[TheCorvette]

Oh, I forgot, finished Honey and Clover II today. Not much to say, but one thing that annoyed me, they didn't resolve the love situations at all, they're still where they're at from last season.

10/10-The 10/10 streak now ends, no show I'm watching has the possibility of it at this point.

Wow, my mean score for "Watching" on MAL is now 7.9, first time I've seen it below 8.

And then he watched Clannad After Story.

I was going to watch 5 Centimeters Per Second tonight but I accidentally started drinking so I'll watch it tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, YAY NEW ANIME DAY! Sad that it's Haganai's last episode though.

You can watch 5cm/s drunk... it's probably more exciting if you did too. Thank god Haganai's over tomorrow... makes more room for Erio.

I'm afraid my 300kbps upload speed won't be enough to stream anything

Oh then I may as well forgot it then.

 

[TheCorvette]

And then he watched Clannad After Story.

That could happen (Me giving it a 10.), but who knows. I have 18 episodes of Clannad to go through still before I can start Clannad After Story.

 

[AOS-]

It is all for a table top war game, so I have hundreds of models and figures.

I never understood how those games ever worked.

 

[jeffgoddin]

I never understood how those games ever worked.

Warhammer is awesome, but only if you're into miniature battle games and lots of dice rolling and rules. And spending $300 for your first army (after $100+ in books), and then painting it so the other guys don't think you're lame. If you want to be serious, expect to spend $1000+. But oh, is it awesome. Orks vs Eldar vs Chaos vs Human Empire. I liked the old Fantasy setting, too. Build your own fortifications, hills. All on a big tabletop (ping pong sized.) Kind of like miniature railroading now that I think about it, but with more violence!

It was too silent anyway so there's no more use posting there

 

[Lain]

I accidentally started drinking

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight... "accidentally"...

You should make a good effort to watch 5 Centimeters Per Second sometime soon though... It's really good, has gorgeous artwork Hoshi o Ou Kodomo and the rest of Makoto Shinkai's works do, and it's only an hour long. 👍

Anyway, update on what I've been watching:

6 episodes into Clannad After Story. Was going very well up until episode 6, which was kinda lame.
4 episodes into Wolf's Rain... very badass so far. Have a strong feeling I'm gonna love this show.
3 episodes into Mobile Fighter G Gundam... sorry T-12, but I'm seriously considering dropping this crap.
40-something episodes into Monster, and it's as amazing as ever.

 

[Dravonic]

I used to play Dungeons&Dragons. Never bought any figurines though. There was no real need for them. Squared paper and tokens worked just as well. Good times.

 

[TheCorvette]

This was a big year for Bandai Visual and Aniplex. Also, every single Madoka Magica single is on the BD list.

Edjit:

Actually, that's what I spent hundreds of my teenage dollars on, but mostly on books. Much more an abstract game (than 40k) that can be played with paper and pencil as you described, but for big battles we'd pull out the big vinyl rollup hex map and out minis for more strategic play. I loved carefully painting the few minis I sported. Those were the same guys that got me into anime in about 1989. Ah, good times.

 

[TheCorvette]

I sometime got to recommend some, but I'm holding out for a while so I have more to post in one post.

BTW, I forgot, I still need to add the rest of the Spring 2011 anime in the thread for the best anime of 2011.

Also in need of moar support:
Jyu-Oh-Sei
Gankutsuou
Koi Kaze
Les Miserables Shoujo Cossette

Not to mention Bokurano.

...All of which recieve an official "> Steins;Gate" seal of approval from me. 👍

 

[TheCorvette]

One Piece needs more support also, it's awesome.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Yeah, as I said, I only got 40 or so eps in, but it's great in its own way. I'll get back to it at some point.

 

[Terronium-12]

3 episodes into Mobile Fighter G Gundam... sorry T-12, but I'm seriously considering dropping this crap.

I don't even remember what the first three episodes are about, so I can't get offended even if I were overly sensitive like that.

If you can't make it to, say, episode 10 then drop it and move forth to 00.

I'll give it until episode 5.

To be fair though, episode 3 had some mildly humourous moments that weren't simply due to how awful the show is.

 

[dice1998]

No! 0083!

Ok, I'll go there now. And about X'amd, it's sitting on my hard drive right now, in full-HD glory. I've been told I'm gonna love it, and from what I've read about it, it so seems. What say you, Goddin? you know me.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Hmmm... haven't watched that yet. So it's good... how?

Edjit: Cano, yes, you'll love Xam'd. If you don't at least give it a 9/10, I'll eat my shoe and send you a video of me doing it.

 

[TheCorvette]

Yeah, as I said, I only got 40 or so eps in, but it's great in its own way. I'll get back to it at some point.

And as you get further, it gets better. It's a show that only gets better, never worse.

BTW, once you hit a certain point in the 200's, there's an arc called Water Seven, and Enies Lobby. I have yet to see it, but apparently this is one of the most popular, and well received arcs in the entire series.

 

[Terronium-12]

I'll give it until episode 5.

*Tries to remember*

Has Domon started looking for Kyoji yet? If that's just started, then yeah, I can see how you're bored (or perhaps you find it ridiculously cheesy as I originally did?). I don't think much is going to change by ep. 5 either as it's some 40-something episodes long.

As I said though, I can't remember without reading episode descriptions.

No! 0083!

Don't think he has that, dicey! In fact, I don't think walter has 00 either.

What do you have, Waltergate?

@jeff: Who are you talking to about the ninja edit?

 

[AOS-]

Edjit: Cano, yes, you'll love Xam'd. If you don't at least give it a 9/10, I'll eat my shoe and send you a video of me doing it.

I hope Cano hates it because I want to see this public stunt.

He's been searching since the start of the show.

And yeah, Mobile Fighter G Gundam's the only Gumdam I've got, except for a couple movies... F91 and Char's Counterattack

 

[Sly Guy]

So how'd you even know?

Maybe because I watched both the DVD and BD on my ps3?

 

[TheCorvette]

You do know the PlayStation 3 upscales DVD's when it plays them right?
