Jeff Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I watched the Macross Frontier movie recently. It definitely wasn't as entertaining as the whole series but I guess that's what happens when you try to put an entire 26 episode series into a 2 hour movie. Hoping the next movie (which will actually be canon instead of a retelling) is much better.
Mav Posted November 19, 2010 Author Posted November 19, 2010 I finished watching FLCL last night, it was... interesting, I feel like I should have watched it stoned.
Alexrd Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Finished last week the 4th season of "Mad Men". Great show. The best there is on TV.
Mav Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 hmmm, Lynk and I watched Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi recently, I felt like I should have watched it on LSD.
Lynk Former Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I've been buying the One Piece manga... bought 23 (out of 55 released at this time) volumes so far.
Darth Avlectus Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Is claymore any good? I have a $15 off coupon and see the entire disc set. Tempting. Though I want it myself I was thinking of getting it for a fellow anime fan--a fellow swordsman as well. I also see a ~16 vol manga. Please tell me it's worth the investment. And if not, is witchblade any good? I only saw the first episode and it seemed good IIRC but things are getting a bit hazy now.
Sabretooth Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I was following Bakuman (the anime), but it got boring.
Mav Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Finished watching R.O.D OVA and R.O.D the TV with Lynk a week ago or so, I think I liked the OVA better, but the TV had some great moments and characters.
Mav Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Finished Wolf's Rain, it was... interesting?
Sabretooth Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Following GOSICK, Hourou Musuko and the terrifically awesome Level-E right now. And Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. runba runba runba runba runba runba
Alexrd Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Last week I've watched the 1st season of The Walking Dead. Good, but short. And no cliffhanger for the next season.
Jeff Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 I watched Summer Wars last night and I really recommend it, it was excellent. (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)
Sabretooth Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Seconding that, Summer Wars is made of pure awesome. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show)
Mav Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 Seconding that, Summer Wars is made of pure awesome. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) A challenger appears! Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) You can consider this me "thirding" watched the other night with Jeff, also watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time tonight, was also very good though b/w the two I'd pick Summer Wars.
Sabretooth Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Now watching: Steins;Gate, because it is made of pure awesome. (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) Also loosely interested in C, but I think it's soon going to devolve into a loosely-metaphorical-Yugioh-for-grown-ups. Second anime I'm following is Tiger & Bunny, which has awesome animation and is surprisingly entertaining every second. It has a neat blend of Western, CGI and Japanese animation to it and good writing backing it.
Mav Posted June 3, 2011 Author Posted June 3, 2011 I still need to check that stuff out Sabre :/ But for now, re-watching Last Exile, because it is that awesome
Sabretooth Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.)
Mav Posted July 28, 2011 Author Posted July 28, 2011 Finished Last Exile a while ago, and watched the first episode of Steins;Gate, but then I went on vacation and my wimpy little netbook doesn't like 720p .mkv's so Steins is on hold. I did manage to finish the 5th season of Dexter though.
Jeff Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Haven't watched much animu in a while, but I've been watching K-ON!! the past few days. Also, I haven't started yet, but I bought the first volume of Akira. It's one of my favorite anime movies so I expect to like it.
Mav Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 I've been watching Steins;Gate it is rather entertaining
Sabretooth Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Been following the new season now, hmm... Usagi Drop - I like this one the best, though I procrastinate the most to see it, because it's slow and heartwarming. Sweet animation and Rin is really, really cute. It's a good series all-in-all, different from the rest, at least. No. 6 - Utopian/dystopian to the max. The story (so far) really isn't anything new - naive kid who grew up in a seemingly-perfect utopia meets savage kid from outside world, learns that people live outside the utopia in misery and third-worldiness, yada yada. Surprisingly, the homosexual relationship hinted between the two main characters is the most interesting part of the anime, followed by the otherwise excellent animation (even though the outside world looks like it's Fallout: The Anime more often than not). Mawaru Penguindrum - This is the season's WTF anime. The first episode was hilarious all through, but the other episodes not so much. It's absurdist comedy in the vein of Arakawa, but that's also the annoying part about it, because it can't seem to decide if it's wants to deal with something serious or something ridiculous. Terrific music though. Kami-sama no Memo Chou - It looks like Gosick crossed with Durarara!! with a bit of Angel Beats! and has the strong points of neither. Very slick and well-researched, and will apparently be dealing with social problems in Japan, but it's hard to take the series seriously at times, with its misplaced fan service and steretypical characters. The hero is too cynical to care for, the heroine is too cold and distant, and the side-characters too plain boring. Could have potential later though.
Mav Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 I recently bought the Samurai Champloo Blu-Ray, so I just re-watched the entirety of that, awesome.
Lynk Former Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 All of a sudden I had a huge Cowboy Bebop marathon including the movie (which fits in between ep 22 and 23 for those who don't know)... feelsgoodman.jpg
Sabretooth Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 New season starts next month, so Ima so excited. Except not, because most of the anime coming out appear to be otaku trash with only 2-3 decent concepts (which is about as many as I can follow anyhow). So right now I'm only following Usagi Drop (rather slowly) and Mawaru Penguindrum (not so slowly) as Steins;Gate and Tiger & Bunny have concluded. My Top 5 for the year so far: 1. Steins;Gate 2. Mawaru Penguindrum 3. Tiger & Bunny 4. Usagi Drop 5. Gosick
