What anime does everyone watch?

[softtack]

Man, I just noticed I have too many animes to actually watch more of that are still on my computer. Such as Hayate no Gotoku, Tokimeki Memorial, Murder Princess, Monster Princess, Lucky Star, Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica, Zero no Tsukaima 2nd Season, and a whole load of others. Maybe I should just buckle down and watch them.
I had that problem as well a couple of weeks ago but then I just went and cleared out a bunch of them. Hayate, at 52 or eps, was way too long for me for an anime that wasn't particularly special. Polyphonica was a mess as well. I do like Tokimeki Memorial though, although the fansubbers have been taking their sweet time on it.

I've been disappointed that most of the spring and summer anime that interested me have turned out to be crap.

[Behemoko]

I actually liked the OP to Elfen Lied. Artsy, good music and nudity make a good combo. :D

Eclipse has subbed Claymore all the way to episode 19. Find them over at Mininova or any other torrent site.


Lay off the liquor, Phaded. :lol:

Thanks, downloading it right now. :-)

[SolidSnakeUS]

Well it seems that Tokimeki Memorial is finished coming out with episodes. It took them a while, but at least they threw like the last 4 episodes at you in like a weeks time.

[HellsJester]

HEY EFlen lied like thEB EST like anime EVER inro and all1!

I agree 100%
My favorite anime intro

[SolidSnakeUS]

I agree 100%
My favorite anime intro

I don't know man, I've had my favorites too. I would have to say it might be the 3rd Bleach opening, with the song by High and Mighty Color, which is an awesome song. Another would have to be Lucky Star, I love that opening, so fast, funny, and well drawn. Another has to be the beginning of Ergo Proxy, love the song, love the art; Monoral is amazing with their work. Another good one is the opening for Ah! My Goddess Seasons 1 and 2, always liked that song. There are a few others, but I have to think about them.

[Phaded]

I was drunk last night >_>, anyway i like Lucky Star, Elfen Lied, Shakugan no Shana, 1st Bleach, 1st Naruto openings. Ghost in the Shell 1st and 2nd Gig openings are my ultimate favorites though.

Isnt the 3rd one with the screaming at the end?
I think that is the worst bleach intro out of the 6 that are out now.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I've always liked it, probably because I listen to some screaming music myself.

[Phaded]

I thought the 1st Bleach opening was better with the Asterisk song.

[HellsJester]

I've always liked it, probably because I listen to some screaming music myself.

Bleh at that type of music.
My favorite Bleach intro would have to be either 2 or 6.

[UltimaMasamune]

I hated the second Death Note intro, not only was the first one more artistic especially the part where light is in front of a god statue emphasizing on him wanting to be a god, but it also had a better song

And I watched the first episode of Doki Doki School Hours and that stuff was hilarious too bad it took me 2 days just to download the first episode :P

I agree 2nd death note intro did suck as well as episodes 26-37.

[The_One]

OMFG OMFG OMFG!

Kara no Kyoukai is coming out XD. Alright, some of you may know that I'm like the biggest Tsukihime buff on this entire forum XD. So... yeah. Kara no Kyoukai was made by the same writer as a "prototype" to Tsukihime...

And the artwork/art direction is so **** good XD. I love the lighting in the trailer and the music! Feels so darn cinematic and epic!

[SolidSnakeUS]

You should get a hold of the OSTs for Ergo Proxy, they are really good. Anyways, if anyone needs a suggestion for an anime, just give me a heads-up.

[havoc19]

Claymore, crazy ****. Best new anime of the year so far

[Phaded]

The best intro is,

http://www.youtube.com/v/ViEH57xQu1c

because you just love to hate it, the song just stays in your head lol.

[GaryRobbo]

They all sound rather gay to be honest

[Phaded]

So then please leave and don't bother posting comments like that in this thread?.

[HellsJester]

Tengen Toppo Gurren Lagann 20 was awesome.
Cant wait for 21.

[Phaded]

Tenjho Tenge is looking brilliant so far, going to continue watching it.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Don't get your hopes up Phaded. You will eventually know what I mean when it gets later in the series.

[Phaded]

Well the fighting and stuff was good in the first few episodes :p.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I am talking about like the last 8 episodes, hell even the OVA was disappointing if you ask me. But you should finish the series to judge it for yourself.

[softtack]

Thanks for the tip. Removing from my download list. :)

Code-E is surprisingly good. I'm surprised that more people aren't watching it. I also saw the raws for Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan yesterday and disappointingly, it's a lot different than the OVA. I hope it gets better because I liked the original series.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Wait a tic, there is an OVA for Dokuro-chan the Beating to Death Angel!? Holy crap, I don't care if it's a bit different, I want to watch it, but with subs of course :lol:. Maybe I should download Code-E, I have been looking at it.

[Phaded]

Liking your new sig soft, i'm also going to start on Chobits too soon as i liked DearS and heard it was similar.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Chobits is an amazing show, it was one of the first real animes I completely watched, and it's very good.

[Phaded]

I just noticed that they are remaking Evangelion, be good to see the show with the much more updated art styles :D.

[HellsJester]

I just noticed that they are remaking Evangelion, be good to see the show with the much more updated art styles :D.

Oh god.
Thats all we need.

[Phaded]

Do you not like Evangelion?.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I just noticed that they are remaking Evangelion, be good to see the show with the much more updated art styles :D.

It's not a show, it's 4 movies that are based off of the fan works called Evangelion-R and the first movie will be dubbed and released in mid-December. Evangelion-R is 52 episodes long (or 54, something like that) and the first movie covers the first 12 episodes. And don't count on a fan sub. They already stated that they would sue the **** out of anyone who tries to do so. There was a 10 minutes trailer for it at Otakon, but I didn't go to that trailer.

Yep, the OVA should be subbed soon. It still retains the humor of the original TV series but stuff like changes in art style kind of bothers me because I'm weird. :)


Liking your new sig soft, i'm also going to start on Chobits too soon as i liked DearS and heard it was similar.
Thanks, I'm completely out of ideas right now. I wish I could've made a more inspired sig. :lol:

Chobits is definitely in my Top 5 list. I wouldn't really compare DearS to Chobits but I can see how others would say it is similar.


Do you not like Evangelion?.
No.

[Phaded]

Yeah well you know what i mean :p. @ SolidSnake

By the way softtack you should at least give Tenjho Tenge a try.

[softtack]

By the way softtack you should at least give Tenjho Tenge a try.
I watched the first couple of episodes at my friend's place and it didn't really interest me. I did put it in my download queue to try it out later. The manga is pretty good though.

[HellsJester]

Do you not like Evangelion?.

Overrated trash if you ask me.

[UltimaMasamune]

So can somebody explain to me what is bad about episodes 25+ pf Death Note? and do I need to watch them to fully understand the story? I'm at episode 24 right now and don't know if I should watch the rest or not.

[Phaded]

Well to understand the story you should watch it all yeah, doesn't mean that some of the the ending episodes aren't bad.

[HellsJester]

I dont think episode 25 was bad.
I think episode 25 should have been the true ending.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I just watched the 7th episode of School Days and now I can say that I am not mad at Itou anymore, but I would probably have to say the people that are around both Sekai and Kotonoha, such as Setsuna and the one girl that bosses Kotonoha around. I am liking what is happening, now I don't have to kill Itou as much :lol:.

Oooh, that's getting me excited. I'm about to watch the 7th ep right now. :D

[SolidSnakeUS]

I just watched the 6th episode of Umisho, and I can say I love that series. It really is good if you ask me, a lot of laugh, enough ecchi, not too much.

[softtack]

Just finished ep 7 of School Days. Even though Makoto scored a few points in this episode, he lost even more because of his indecisive attitude. All I can say is that he is in some deep fecal matter right now, and it's probably the unintentionally funny thing I've seen in a while.

At the very end would've been a great time to twist the plot with some crazy Higurashi stuff. :)

[SolidSnakeUS]

That is what it almost seemed like, but I don't think they would go to something that messed up.

[softtack]

I just want to see how he'll get out of this mess. It's odd that an anime I had low expectations for is keeping me hooked. Probably out of frustration.

That furby looking thing in Umisho 6 cracked me up. I don't know why...

[Behemoko]

I really need to make a list of "Animes to Watch.." Seriously, this is just a half of dozen people's personal anime gathering, lol. (I included myself as I often lurk in here without posting.)

[softtack]

Yes you do. All of the "serious" people have lists (maybe? I just felt like saying that.)

It's good that we have this sort of a hangout. Ratings on websites such as ANN only go so far. It's much nicer to have a place where you can ask multiple people their personal opinion about a certain anime and whatnot. It gives you a nice sense of community here on the forum, knowing others have similar interests as you besides gaming.

I don't mind you saying serious people have lists, I used to, but watched them all, and haven't made one in years because I could rarely find more than one at a time to watch, but with suggestions from trusted sources, a la' regulars of this thread, and high speed internet and all. Well, this is the first time since 9th grade I feel I actually need a list! Ranma; started watching it in 8th or 9th grade, and it's been pretty bone dry for me since then, because I just got high speed internet last October, and use many sources that didn't exist before last year, so I had no way of knowing most of them existed. I completely agree.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I just watched the first episode of Code-E and I think it was really good. I like how it is turning out. I've got to go to bed real soon, so I can't watch 2-5 tonight.

[softtack]

I find that keeping a list helps me keep track of what I'm watching. Since I'm often watching more than one series at a time, it's easy to forget which episode I left off on or which series I've completed. You won't believe how many times I've found an interesting anime, and I check it against my list only to find that I've already seen it. It's especially hard to keep track of anime because most of the names are Japanese, and since it's not my native language, it's harder to remember.

I'm in a slump right now anyway. I can't get myself to watch any of the ones building up in my to-be-watched list... That being said, I can't wait till October. :D

[HellsJester]

Claymore 20 was awesome.
Naruto Shippuuden 25 didnt have fighting but they didnt drag it on so i say it was decent.

Excellent... Let my influence spread all over the world. :twisted:

Watching a 1080p version of Beyond the Clouds and it is freaking beautiful. Makoto Shinkai is a Photoshop god.

[UltimaMasamune]

Episode 25 of Death Note was awesome, Light has to be one of the best villains ever


Now the show is supposed suck but I will still watch it since the story is awesome

I want to get one of them upscaling DVD players and watch my GITS collection on a big tv :p.

[christianpachon]

I am watching Dragon Ball Z in Cartoon Network all weeknights.

I'm pretty sure you can upscale with a PS3

[Phaded]

True but i don't have one of those yet ^^.

[Serjndestroy]

The .Hacks, Blood Trinity, Hellsing, and quite a few other good ones whose name is not on the tip of my tongue

[Tool 316]

just got home, im about to watch claymore 20 and naruto S-25, i also started to watch innocent venues which isn't bad.

[HellsJester]

Episode 25 of Death Note was awesome, Light has to be one of the best villains ever


Now the show is supposed suck but I will still watch it since the story is awesome

I didnt think Light was the villain.
I think he was the hero.

[Phaded]

Well he likes to think he is.

[HellsJester]

Well he likes to think he is.

Nah he is.
Killing criminals is a good thing.
But he made too many mistakes which led to his downfall.
If i had the death note i wouldnt make the mistakes he did like in episode 2 when he proves to L that his killings are by supernatural means.
I wouldnt try to be a god of the new world either i would just do my job and kill the bad people in the world and not take credit.

[UltimaMasamune]

I just watched episode 26 and it wasn't that bad, I actually like it more then some of the older episodes


I didnt think Light was the villain.
I think he was the hero.

no he was the main character (aka protagonist) but they way he acts and thinks like a villain, I guess "anti-hero" is a better name

[SolidSnakeUS]

I just watched episodes 18 and 19 of Nagasarete Airantou and it is getting real good. I like how the 19th episode is the first part of a two parter. Love this show.

[UltimaMasamune]

As i said in my last post Killing criminals is a good thing so i consider that being a hero.

His goals have nothing to do with him being a villain or not, Solidus Snake from Metal Gear Solid 2 had some very noble goals but he was still a villian

[HellsJester]

His goals have nothing to do with him being a villain or not, Solidus Snake from Metal Gear Solid 2 had some very noble goals but he was still a villian

Umm yes they do.
If the goal is good then he is good.
He changed his goals later though and they wernt good so yeah i would say later he was a villain but he started out as a hero.

[UltimaMasamune]

Umm yes they do.
If the goal is good then he is good.
He changed his goals later though and they wernt good so yeah i would say later he was a villain but he started out as a hero.

So you are saying that Solidus Snake, The Boss(MGS3), Big Boss and Vayne(FFXII) aren't villains because they have good goals?

and a good goal is just a matter of opinion besides the execution is what decides if a person is a villain or not

Although somebody being a villain is also a matter of opinion, so I guess anti-hero is a better name...

but Light is still a villain in my eyes >__>

[softtack]

I just watched episodes 18 and 19 of Nagasarete Airantou and it is getting real good. I like how the 19th episode is the first part of a two parter. Love this show.
Indeed, it is a good show. It gets a little weird at times, like with episode 17 but I still love it. :)

Can't get enough of that new ED either.

[ChaozXCreator]

There's one anime I know that a lot of people know and watch. "N A R U T O"! It's the only show I know that has the most episodes! Anyone know an anime that has 220+ episodes!?

[Phaded]

A lot of people don't like Naruto anymore or never have, I still like it myself but it's quite low on my list.

[SolidSnakeUS]

A lot of people don't like Naruto anymore or never have, I still like it myself but it's quite low on my list.

I agree, I don't like Naruto anymore, however, if I have time, I will get the rest of the scanlations and read them.

I just watched Code-E episodes 3 and 4 last night and I really like where it's going. Love the show. Thanks softtack.

[Behemoko]

There's one anime I know that a lot of people know and watch. "N A R U T O"! It's the only show I know that has the most episodes! Anyone know an anime that has 220+ episodes!?

Ever here of Dragon Ball/Z/GT? Z alone has about 280, Dragon Ball has 100 + I think so we are up to 380, and I will say GT is another 50 at least. Now I want to know how many there are, lol. Time to do some research!

EDIT:

Dragon Ball: 153 episodes.

Dragon Ball Z: 276 episodes. (But, I am pretty sure that is just the shortened American versions, 300 + in Japan maybe?)

Dragon Ball GT: 64 episodes.

So, now the total is at least 493, and I'm pretty sure if you go with the uncut versions you hit somewhere around 520 maybe?

[softtack]

A lot of people don't like Naruto anymore or never have, I still like it myself but it's quite low on my list.
When Naruto was still new and cool, I watched it for a while. But after it started to hit fillers, my interest waned like most other people. I started to watch Shippuuden but I stopped at episode 10 or something. Naruto just ain't cool anymore. :neutral:


I just watched Code-E episodes 3 and 4 last night and I really like where it's going. Love the show. Thanks softtack.
That's good to hear. It's a great show, but I guess it's not receiving as much attention as some other shows, which is a shame.

I need to get out of my slump. Someone, recommend me a good anime that's not mecha or mahou shoujo. :mrgreen:

[MavSkipper]

There's one anime I know that a lot of people know and watch. "N A R U T O"! It's the only show I know that has the most episodes! Anyone know an anime that has 220+ episodes!?

there's only one anime that has an overkill episodes :)

i bet everybody knows Doraemon(i think it started airing around the 70's)
afaik it has 1k+ episodes and still ongoing(?)

the other anime i know is One Piece.... currently @ 320 and still airing in Japan

[keyransolo]

Fullmetal Alchemist, Naruto and Bleach.

[Kashi]

1) Naruto
2) Bleach

And Bebop but lately i've not had time to download any episode further than 16...T_T

[Phaded]

Cowboy Bebop is a classic, gonna have to re-watch that at some point.

[softtack]

Cowboy Bebop has the best dubs of any anime. That's an especially high honor coming from me, because I would rather shove a pencil in my ear than listen to the dubbed version because stabbing myself is a somewhat tolerable pain.

[Phaded]

I think the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex dubs are the best myself, Bebop comes close 2nd though.

[HellsJester]

I think the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex dubs are the best myself, Bebop comes close 2nd though.

Yeah GitS dubs were good.
I also like dubs for Fullmetal Alchemist and FLCL.

[Tool 316]

Yeah GitS dubs were good.
I also like dubs for Fullmetal Alchemist and FLCL.

yea full metal had some great dubs i also like cowboy bebop, the guy who voiced spike is pretty cool. i would have to agree that GitS-SAC had the best dubs with berserk having the worst actuallya tie with naruto


Nah he is.
Killing criminals is a good thing.
But he made too many mistakes which led to his downfall.
If i had the death note i wouldnt make the mistakes he did like in episode 2 when he proves to L that his killings are by supernatural means.

They wernt great but i would say they were acceptable.


if i had the death note, alot of these idiot wouldnt be posting anymore.

Why am i a idiot?

I didnt think Berserks were bad.

dude i was not referring to you lol, im talking about the idiots on this site in general they know who they are.

[UltimaMasamune]

OK so I have seen episodes 26-29 of Death Note and I don't really see anything wrong with them at all

[softtack]

I like how we have 3 or 4 different conversations going on in here. :)

I think the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex dubs are the best myself, Bebop comes close 2nd though.
I haven't seen the dubbed version of GITS:SAC but I heard they were good too. Samuari Champloo also has fantastic dub. I think Mugen's voice fits him perfectly.

Watched episode 7 of Potemayo. Still random. Still funnier than hell.

Tengen Toppo Gurren Lagann 21 was great.

Provided i watch episode 7, are there any more to this series?

[softtack]

Onegai Teacher (or Please Teacher) has 13 episodes total. You might want to try searching under its Japanese name to find more episodes. It's a great series, and easily one of my favorites.

Onegai Twins (again, Please Twins) is a spinoff I guess of Onegai Teacher. I don't think it's as good as Onegai Teacher but it's definitely worth watching.

[Phaded]

The Naruto manga just got interesting. That is all.

[softtack]

I loved Nagasarete Airantou's two part episode. Easily one of my favorite series. :)

And I'm addicted to the second ending song! Argggghhh!!!!

I still need to watch episode 20 for it. I really want to see it.

Onegai Teacher is total perfection! I thouht it was going a little lame near the end, but it all fitted in perfectly!!!!!!

Best anime in a long time! I really really loved it.

I want the second season of Shakugan no Shana. Now. :(

[softtack]

I want the second season of Shakugan no Shana. Now. :(
You speak the truth, my friend.

I want it to be October, because the fall anime season will kick some major ass.

- Genshiken 2
- CLANNAD
- D.C. II
- Kodomo no Jikan
- Minami-ke
- The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi Season 2 (hopefully)
- KimiNozo Haruka route (I want this badly... badly.)

Just to name a few. :DD

[scorevon]

I think devil may cry anime series. in my opinion.

Meh i hate that, was looking forward to it for ages and it was a major dissapointment in my opinion.

I really enjoy Ghost in the Shell. However I find that sometimes the story line can become a little bit too political. This isn't always a bad thing though. I quite like deep, meaningful story lines at times.

[Phaded]

Yeah same, I think though that having read the manga first will help a lot of people, all this talk about Cyberbrains and stuff has me confused sometimes.

[UltimaMasamune]

Death Note's ending was frickin awesome... I can't wait for the director's cut special thingy

And I just noticed that Xenosaga has an anime series and the *******s replaced Crispin Freeman for Albedo and Jin with some other guys...this sucks, I guess I will just watch it with the Japanese dub

[SolidSnakeUS]

I watched the 6th episode of Code-E and I loved it. I just started downloading the 7th episode and I know it is going to be good.

[softtack]

Ooooh, my hatred for Makoto just soared to astronomical new levels.

He's already got three girls and he got my girl (Setsuna) in episode 8. I haven't been this passionate about an anime for a long time now. Weird...:???:

Also been watching Yume de Aetara, both the OVA and TV series. Everything is predictable but a fun one to watch overall. The OVA is only 3 episodes so I recommend anyone with some time to watch it.

[Phaded]

Nearly finished with Chobits now, brilliant series so far :p.

[softtack]

Chobits is a great series, one of my favorites. I have a lot of favorites, don't I?

Not that it's a bad thing...

[Phaded]

No, i still think DearS is much funnier than Chobits though, considering it's similarities.

[HellsJester]

Tengen Toppo Gurren Lagann 22 was awesome.

[softtack]

I just came here to report that I can't wait for the fall season of anime. I bet you can't guess which one I'm most excited about? Well, maybe you can...

I rewatched Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan again yesterday with subs and it's much funnier than watching without subs. I can understand some Japanese and pretty much make out the rest by context but this is one anime where I had no idea what was going on because it moves so fast.

I've been watching Di Gi Charat as well, and it's a lot better than I expected. I thought it was a kids' anime but it was actually made for a store in Akihabara.

[Phaded]

But Ren doesn't understand! hahahaha xD!.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I just watched Nagasarete episode 20, was very good and very funny, love the show. I also watched Code-E number 7 and that was very good as well, getting better and better.

[softtack]

I loved ep 20, especially Ayako's comment in the beginning. :mrgreen: I've been falling behind on Code-E. I think I stopped back at the 4th ep.

I'm also retrying Saiunkoku Monogatari. I gave up on it before because the subs weren't regular but I heard it was good.

Edit: Yay! Nagasarete Airantou ep 21 is out!

[Phaded]

I don't even know half of the anime's you guys are talking about now >_>.

I don't see it yet. Where is it!?

EDIT: Nevermind, found the direct download for it.

EDIT 2: If it doesn't download fast enough, I will find the torrent for it.

[jlippone]

Been watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai and it has been one of the more refreshing animes for a while.
It's some sort of suspense/mystery series. :)

Also started Monster again, definitely one of the better series.

[Phaded]

Meh after finishing Chobits i realised it isn't that good, too me it started out great but then it got too serious at the end which kind of took it away from the whole Ecchi/Comedy thing. The only funny parts in it was Sumomo because she was great :lol:.

[UltimaMasamune]

The Xenosaga anime sucks... good thing I finally found episode 1 and now I can know the story and play the series without watching the horrible anime

I guess I will watch Trigun or Smurai 7 now

[softtack]

I agree, the ending was kind of a downer. I find that many animes have bad endings. I guess it's the hardest part of a story.

I'm diving into the realm of patheticness. I'm starting Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I don't think I have seen that one yet. But I did update my animes by getting whatever I didn't get yet, and that was over 50 episodes. So I guess I have too much updated animes to watch :lol:.

[Phaded]

Just finished getting Ikkitousen and Tokko, so i will be watching them soon ^^.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Like I said, beware of the ending for Tokko.

[softtack]

Like I said, beware of the ending for Tokko.
I gotta see this now. :)

Ikkitousen was weird, not sure if I liked it or not.

[Behemoko]

Well, right now I'm watching Tsubasa's Chronicals.

[MavSkipper]

I just finished watching the movie(more like a 3-part OVA) Byousoku 5cm

and man was that good... Makoto Shinkai is god at making romance movies and his animation is just top-notch

if his movies were to be released on BluRay over here, I'd buy em right away :)

[Phaded]

Liking the new "Konata Fanservice" avatar soft :p. I want to use a couple of animated avatars myself but they are too big, i need a way of decreasing the size and Image Ready doesn't do this.

[mastershake86]

The only one I have ever watched was Initial D and some weird one on adult swim with a kid who had a robot come out of his head from time to time I like that one, but have no idea what it is called.

[softtack]

If anyone has Comcast On-Demand, Anime Selects has a show called Anime TV and you have to watch it because it's hilariously bad. The main host has a "I'm on a mission" way of speaking but the rest of the hosts simply bicker idiotically about a certain anime, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu in my case.

I highly recommend it if you want a good laugh.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I like the On-Demand, but it doesn't have everything.

[zarinrules]

Death Note is the only anime I'll watch (or rather, have watched).

[Spawn Of Cthullu]

Gungrave is the only anime I watched.

I liked gungrave overdose, the videogame, so much. So I thought I'd give the anime a shot. Surprisingly, the story was very, very, deep. It can rival the best drama hollywood has ever come up with, if translated into the silver screen ( which is practically impossible ).

I expected an all-guns-blazing anime ( like the game ) .. what i got is a deep story of love, betrayal(s), and plot twists, plot twists, and some more plot twists.

[2Tfps]

Disgaea 1 and interest in Cowboy Bebop (saw 1st episode).

[UltimaMasamune]

Is Witchblade any good? I'm currently downloading the first episode because I saw an advert for it on ANN and there is something about evil and sadistic looking characters that I just can't resist... especially if the character happens to be a MILF in a skimpy outfit >__>


And Doki Doki School Hours isn't as funny as I expected it to be, it's still a good show though...

And finally Trigun is awesome

Edit: Does anybody know when will the sub of the Death Note 3 hour special get finished?

It's quite nice fighting anime, with the usual cast of funny characters and mega corporations.
Oh, you will probably find someone with familar name as well. ;)

I watched episode 1 and it was pretty cool and I'm very curious on who is this person with a familiar name

[softtack]

A commercial for Shakugan no Shana Second was released today, and all it did was make me even more fidgety. I can't wait until October 4th! :D

[Phaded]

Nice, was this in America? :o. Anyway just finished watching TOKKO and i actually liked it a lot, though the ending wasn't that good like Snake said it just felt like they were trying to cram as much as possible into as little episodes as possible.

[UltimaMasamune]

Oh, you will probably find someone with familar name as well. :wink:LOL I found the thing with the familiar name, who knew that the name of a great sword smith and a badass weapon "Masamune" could also mean "Undefeatable breasts"

and thanks to Wikipedia I just realized that Ultima means "masculine/feminine/neuter" in latin(although I chose it because of Ultima Weapon the sword from FF)

So yeah my username literally stands for " masculine/feminine undefeatable breasts" :shock:

[Phaded]

I'm thinking Yuji might make a bit more of an impact in the battles in the next season now.

[UltimaMasamune]

I hate to admit this but I think I'm hooked, Trigun is one badass and funny show and Witchblade is surprisingly addictive

and is DearS any good? I need a new comedy anime since i just finished Doki Doki School Hours... I know it's funny but s it stupid funny like Family Guy? because that's what I'm looking for



I thought you already knew that when you made your name. :lol:

How the hell would I have known that a name of a cool sword is also a pun a for a chick with big boobs >__>. the only thing I was thinking about when I made up the name 3 years ago was that it had a good ring to it and I was addicted to FF at the time(much more then I am now lol)

[Uncool]

DearS is a comedy mixed in with good ole' girl teasing. Its a pretty short series as well.

[Phaded]

You should check the anime review thread Masamune. And DearS is bloody hilarious, but that's all that is so if your just looking for some great comedy then i recommend it. The faces on it are just priceless.

[UltimaMasamune]

I guess I will download the first episode to see how it is

[softtack]

The 11th episode of School Days just came out and I'm cracking up right now. It's karma bitch.

Best. series. ever.

[Phaded]

Isn't it supposed to be some angsty school drama love triangle thing? or am i thinking of something else?.

[softtack]

It's more like an angsty school drama love polydodecohedrongon thing, but not really a harem. Basically, the "luckiest" guy in the world, if you want to call it that.

[UltimaMasamune]

ZOMG DearS is hilarious... too bad it's only 13 episodes


and Witchblade is pretty addictive, the story is surprisingly great and it manages to balance story ,action, humor and stubble fan-service perfectly

[Phaded]

Told you it was hilarious, you could watch it with no sound and the faces alone would have you cracking up! :D.

By the way does anybody know a good .MKV converter, a lot of donwloaded anime's are in mkv format and i need a good converter because some of the programs i've tried have left the audio way out of sync and stuff, and i can't correct it.

[softtack]

The only method for converting MKVs to AVIs that I know is the way I've come with myself, using VirtualDubMod. It's complicated so I don't like doing it a lot.

The problem with MKVs is that they usually contain a smorgashborg of unusual codecs along with softsubs. It gets even more complicated if the video is x264 encoded or if the audio is Vorbis or AAC. I recommend just watching it on your computer instead of going through the hassle to convert them all.

However, the encoders of older series usually have the standard Xvid/MP3 combination along with SRT (the ugly ones) subs. Those can be converted into AVIs using a program called alltoavi.

[Phaded]

Yeah i use AllToAvi for nearly everything, sometimes it's fine with MKV's but you get the odd some that just completely mess up with the syncing. I've tried this VirtualDubMod thing but meh still out of sync and stuff, i guess i'le just watch them on my pc.

you could use winnydows' xvid4psp... it supports most if not all video codecs/format
but afaik it doesn't support surround sound, so everything will be converted to 2.0

[softtack]

What kind of subtitle support does it have? And does it support H.264 video from the input source? Those are the key issues of converting anime in MKV format. Sorry, I don't want to boot into Windows right now to find out. :p

i'm currently at work so iwont be able to check it :)

yea... the problem is that the video in the episode is encoded in MP4/AVC(apparently most fansub group are now using the new AVC) unlike other MP4 videos which are usually encoded in x264

and from what i can tell, AVC is not supported by xvid4psp(hope it will be in his next update though)

edit: ok as i thought... AVC is for some reason not supported on newer version of xvid4psp
either that or there's something wrong with its decoder/encoder

anyways... i just tried converting Death Note 37 to PMPAVC and it's done its job :)
i'm using version 4.1.0.5

[Phaded]

Surround sound doesn't bother me because i watch converted episodes on my PSP, like soft said it's just a matter of being able to select subs and the whole H.264 video problem, i'le give it a shot anyway thanks +rep.

[softtack]

If you guys get it working, be sure to tell me. I'll probably stick to my old ways but this method would be good for unimportant conversions.

[Phaded]

Works but audio was still out of sync and the encoding took AGES. I mean like AGES :o. AlltoAvi is much quicker so i will be sticking to that.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I really need to watch a lot of anime. I have a ton of catching up to do for watch, not for downloading (thank god :lol:).

Works but audio was still out of sync and the encoding took AGES. I mean like AGES :o. AlltoAvi is much quicker so i will be sticking to that.

maybe it's time to get a new PC :p j/k

anyways... yea it does take more time than converting from xvid
and for some reason it's way slower on 64-bit OS (around 130fps but on 32-bit winxp it was encoding at around 400+fps)

[Phaded]

Not really because AllToAvi basically does the same thing and it only takes around 5-10 minutes :p.

I'm watching the second season of Victorian Romance Emma, continuing my theme of those oh so good forbidden love animes. I've had this sitting on my hard drive for a couple months and as I open up the 7th episode I've watched in a row, I wonder why I didn't start this sooner.

This will be my next review, and you probably have an idea of what kind of rating it will receive.

[Jurdix]

I no longer watch anime, can't really give a reason for this, I just stopped. But when I did watch it my favorite series' were:

7 Samurai
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Madlax
Noir
Samurai Champloo
Cowboy Beebop
Full Metal Panic
Full Metal Panic: Fumofu
Vandread
X
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG

Sadly no.
Its getting a original anime ending.
So im gonna have to read the manga to know the rest of the story and real ending.
Original anime endings = filler to me.
I hate fillers.

[Phaded]

That sucks I hate it when an anime doesn't fully go on the same as the manga, it was the same as Tenjho Tenge, that ended ages ago but the manga is still going on.

Has anyone seen ARIA all the way through? I've always loved the music but I haven't been able to watch past the first episode. A review would be appreciated. :)

[UltimaMasamune]

For some reason my uTorrent has gotten pretty slow, I haven't even been able to watch anything today and yesterday because all the episodes I want to watch haven't finished downloading

[softtack]

I watched the raw release of Zero no Tsukaima episode 12, the last one in the series. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say that if I was directing the series, I would've had it end differently. Not to say that the actual ending isn't bad, but eh... it's hard to explain. I'll elaborate once the subbed version is released.

Not a bad series at all. I'm writing up a review for it so expect it within the next couple of days.

You're in for a few surprises as well. ;) Made me giggle like a schoolgirl.

[MavSkipper]

why don't you guys use IRC and download from a xdcc-bot

Torrents are actually faster than IRC bots for me. Even when a group claims to have "super fast" bots, I can usually double that speed on torrents.

Plus I'm lazy.

[Phaded]

There's also the fact that you will usually have to queue for use of the bots. Another good point would be that you can get whole anime series in one torrent. This is coming from somebody who hates torrents by the way and would much prefer any other method of downloading :p.

Edit: LOL at the anime chibi pic in your sig soft.

Haha, thanks. That actually was the original image for the ARC banner. I got bored of working on my other sig so I made an advert instead. :p

You reminded me of another point I forgot to mention. Smaller groups (which are life savers when bigger groups don't sub an anime or stop subbing one) often don't have access to bots so making a torrent and asking someone like EdwardK for a tracker makes it much easier to distribute. I do love those batch torrents too. :DD

[Phaded]

Yeah, Veoh doesn't seem to be working properly for me anymore (probably because their deleting all the anime) so i'm having to get like the whole series of Claymore in 1 torrent which is handy but what i don't like about torrents is the fluctuating download speed, it's just never stable, one minute it could be like over 200kb and the next it could be 12kb.

[HellsJester]

Veoh works for me fine.
Tengen Toppo Gurren Lagann 26 was amazing cant wait for next weeks final episode.
Last episode of Claymore in 2 days :(

[softtack]

Well, the anime industry just hit a new low today.

Overflow, the studio behind School Days, has decided to hold back the last episode NOT because they were being sensitive about the news (axe killing girl) but as a marketing stunt. It appears that they're holding a special preview event for the last episode with only a limited amount of seats. Okay, that's not so bad. But here's the best part. You need either an UNOPENED copy of School Days or Summer Days to get in, which is kind of strange because most people buy games to play them, not as a family heirloom.

*sigh*

I'm done with the series. I'll probably lower my review score to 0/10 just because of this. Sick of these marketing schemes...

Well, I'm off to watch the Shana movie then, and from what I've heard, it's going to be a long recap... x_x

You mean that the last episode won't be able to be watched apart from the people at this thing? or are they just going to be holding it back for a while?.

[softtack]

Mostly likely only until the DVDs are released. They're just trying to make some fast cash.

[Phaded]

Well that sucks i was going to start watching it soon but if the last episode isn't even going to be released for ages, if it all, then i probably won't bother.

On another note im up tooooooo Episode 10 in Kaze no Stigma at the mo and i'm enjoying it :).

[Mael Duin]

Watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. One more episode and it's all over. It's one of my favorite animes ever and has inspired me so much.

That's Rozen Maiden, and the character you're talking about is Suiseseki.

I stated to watch Kaze no Stigma when it came out but I got pissed off that they blatantly ripped off Shana so I stopped. People have been saying it's okay and it got a good review so I'll probably check it out when I have time time.

[SolidSnakeUS]

That show is called Rozen Maiden. There are three seasons: Rozen Maiden, Rozen Maiden: Traumend, and Rozen Maiden Ouverture (something like that).

[softtack]

I don't know if I wasn't paying attention or what but Overture seemed like a complete waste of time. Just seemed to me like more doll action for the otakus.

I never really watched the show other than a couple episodes of Traumend. But I like it though.

Overture isn't waste of time at all. It explains about Shinku and Suigintou. Watch first season fist, then Traumend and then Overture. It's delicious OVA.

Really you think? a lot of people happen to think it rips off Avatar the last Airbender more lol.
Yeah I can see where they're coming from. She uses the air to attack enemies, I think? I was disappointed that they couldn't come up with a more original character design. I'll probably give it another try later.

I don't know. I wasn't too interested in the first two Rozen Maiden seasons and I guess the OVA wasn't an exception. Maybe if I watched it more carefully, I'll see a reason for it but... meh...

Unrelated but it looks like Eclipse has finished subbing Claymore. I hope they release a batch torrent soon.

[Phaded]

Im in the process of getting it all from Veoh :).

Just saw Claymore 26.
No way was that an original anime ending.
Nothing was resolved.
They can totally make another season.

[softtack]

Oh fooey, the SnS movie turned out to be a condensed version of the series. It was a good refresher for the new series coming out in October though.

I heard that Claymore was going to have a second season, not sure if that's anything more than speculation though. I hope it's as good as everyone says it is. My friend is obsessing over the manga. :)

[Phaded]

Well the manga has a 7 year time skip on it which looks cool :p. On the Wikipedia entry it sais "The First Season aired from blah blah blah" indicating there could be a second season and i don't see why not because as Jester said it leaves stuff unresolved

The last episode felt like it's only reason was to put pieces in cerain places and give them nudge to some direction.
I really hope there would be second season as some of claymores episodes really were quite nice.

I just bought this upscaling DVD player with USB support, so i'm going to buy a big external HDD and just put loads of anime on it and stuff ^^.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I already have been doing this. I pretty much have all my anime on 2 drives, my external 250GB and my internal 160GB.

[softtack]

I have a HDD enclosure that can output to a TV so I use that when I want to watch something on TV. The majority of the time, I just stream my anime on my laptop from my main system.

[SolidSnakeUS]

If I watch anime, it is usually with my computer screen or a Divx capable DVD-player and watch it on TV.

[saleenf5]

just started watching a show called read or die it pwnes i always blew it of because i thought the idea of fighting with paper would be stupid but wow

[softtack]

This is for anyone that cares (probably no one, just me obsessing about it) but AT-X aired School Days episode 12. It's been subbed already by m.3.3.w. (supafast) so go an enjoy. I heard it was heavily edited so fooey.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I am downloading it now, hopefully it's really good. Don't spoil anything for me because I still need to watch about the last half the series.

[softtack]

I was watching it over at Stage6 but it stopped buffering halfway through so now I have to wait till I get home to download it. If the ending is half as good as I think it'll be, I'll have to revise my review. :)

Edit: Finished it, unexpected but still EPIC ending. Highly recommended series.

[Phaded]

No spoilers... but is it a happy ending? :p.

[UltimaMasamune]

meh... DearS stopped being funny after a few episodes. I'm halfway throygh so I might as well finish it

[Phaded]

WHAT!? that's blasphemy! DearS is hilarious all the way through! :p.

[SolidSnakeUS]

I loved all of DearS, it was hilarious and fun as hell to watch :D.

[softtack]

No spoilers... but is it a happy ending? :p.
It made me happy, if that counts for anything. In my sig is the best quote from that series, might give you an idea if you understand Japanese.

[Phaded]

Alright cool i'le have to start watching it soon, i'm off to watch some Kaze no Stigma though so bai ^^.

[UltimaMasamune]

I take back what I said about DearS, episode 7 was hilarious it's just that episode 5 and 6 weren't that funny

And Witchblade is really awesome and touching, a **** shame it's so underrated

[HellsJester]

Last episode of Tengen Toppo Gurren Lagann is today.
Subs will be ready either tonight or tomarrow.

[Mael Duin]

And if someone posts Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann spoilers without spoiler tags, I'm officially going to kill the posters face.

I got a question.
What do you think of Nia?

Dang, I guess my Ctrl and V keys won't see any action today. :p

I couldn't get into Gurren Lagann, I don't know why. Naturally, the spoilers made no sense to me. :D

[SolidSnakeUS]

I haven't watched it yet, even though I just need to download number 27, I can't spoil it for you Mael.

[Phaded]

Siesta > Louise, Saito is a noob :p.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Siesta definitely has the rack and loving attitude and she is the granddaughter from our world, but she has the creepy uncle :lol:.

[softtack]

And Henrietta > Siesta. She rules over a kingdom and has a nice rack. :lol:

[Phaded]

Who cares, Saito wouldn't be banging the uncle lol.

[softtack]

If you got Siesta, you might be able to get Jessica as well...

Decisions decisions...

I would love to eat her eyes. =) Just look at her:

And yeah, I just watched Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann 27. LOVE IS OVER ;_; There's nothing more to watch anymore. This anime truly is one of the best animes ever. This, Last Exile, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (and 2nd GIG!) and Honey&Clover.

[Phaded]

The fact that you haven't listed Ergo Proxy there is blasphemy :D.

[SolidSnakeUS]

Yeah, Ergo Proxy is a very very good show.

I hate Nia.
She stole alot of Yoko's camera time.
Yoko > Nia

Starting on Claymore tonight, hopefully it lives up to what people have been saying about it.

[HellsJester]

Wow they sure made the last episode of Gurren Lagann epic.

Everything does except the last episode.
If there isnt a 2nd season i will nominate Claymore for Worst anime ending.

[Phaded]

Well it's like i said before, the anime ending is slightly different to how the Claymore manga ended in "Part 1", i won't spoil it but the start of "Part 2" of the manga is after a six year timeskip, however there is also some changes to the story like Raki for example. If there is going to be a second season they are either going to have to re-do a final episode for Season 1 or just say that the end episode isn't canon and carry on from there.

Were the 1st 25 episodes following the manga and just episode 26 didnt?

[Ryunosuke]

The ending isn't that bad, it basically just ended in away where they can get back on track with the manga I believe (haven't read the manga). If there is a second season and they follow the manga, I hear it will be a while before they would have enough material from the manga to make a second season. Regardless if there is a second season or not and how the first season ended, I still believe Claymore was a great watch.

I am currently giving Tsukihime, Lunar Legend a try, which has turned out pretty good so far (on episode 7). I just wish some fansubbers would pick up animes like Shoujo Cosette, Kaze no Shoujo Emily, Glass Mask (watched the first 16 episodes which are subbed), and others like them that seem to never get subbed.

[softtack]

Started watching School Rumble Nigakki again, hilarious series. Finally got ahold of a batch so I can watch the episodes in chunks.

Also, tons of new fall anime are airing today and tomorrow, notably D.C.II and Sketchbook ~Full Colors~.

CLANNAD next Tuesday and Top Gear this Sunday, could life get any better?

[Phaded]

Yes... Shakugan no Shana part 2 could air today :p.

[softtack]

Shana doesn't air until Thursday :cry:

I watched D.C.II and Sketchbook ~full colors~ yesterday. D.C.II is supposed to be 50 something years in the future and all of the characters look exactly the same. It's a pretty lame series overall, I don't know if I'll watch it. I probably will just for the sake of continuity.

Sketchbook on the other hand is pretty good. I really like the character design and the quality of animation. I just hope it doesn't drop towards the end like Nagasarete Airantou did.

[UltimaMasamune]

Witchblade's ending was one of the saddest endings ever, but then again I barely seen any sad movies/TV shows/etc so that's not saying much >__>. Still... this is one hell an underrated anime, I highly reccomend it.

[Phaded]

Finishing off Claymore first. Then my next series to watch is Gantz, i'le give Witchblade a go after that.

[softtack]

Bamboo Blade was pretty lame... Yeah not much more to say.

A TON of the fall anime are airing or has aired today. My internet connection will die tonight. :D

(I'll post in the Review corner when I actually have an update so I don't have to double post. :lol:)

[SolidSnakeUS]

I have been looking at some of the new things from AniDB, and I would like to get my hands on the sequel to Da Capo II and maybe the other OVAs for the new Sousei no Aquarion OVA show.
