they have fighting spirits based on the different generals of the time period it made me chuckle a bit, and again sometimes fan service is needed didnt say it was good but everyonce in awhile fighting and jiggling boobs thats not porn isnt a bad thing lol

anyway looks like i need to pick up some new series to watch as the ones im watching wont last me much longer

oh few extra to add to the finished watching list

Outlaw Star

Eureka 7

Dead Space (liked the game so had to watch that to lol)

if you can think of any more series like Black Lagoon TLM id be interested, i do know black lagoon has a season 3 but its not complete yet, and im a marathon watcher that and i enjoyed the art direction of Black Lagoon as well so anything by the same group thats not terrible will probably hold my interest

Started watching Baka to Test to Shokanju. Very funny, but it contains otaku jokes, so wouldn't recommend to a freshly minted otaku. Seasoned otaku might want to take a look.

There are OVAs (http://myanimelist.net/anime/9471/Baka_to_Test_to_Shoukanjuu:_Matsuri) too. Watch the first OVA (the 2nd isn't subbed yet) after you finish the first season. Second season (http://myanimelist.net/anime/8516/Baka_to_Test_to_Shoukanjuu_2) will be Summer 2011 (July).

And honestly, if we have that technology right now, I would gladly go back to High School. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

@crazyeyesreaper: Try watching Darker than Black (1st season), Darker than Black (OVA) and Darker than Black (2nd season) in that order.

Yes, I am aware of the second season and also the OVA extras etc. Why would you want to go back to high school? My highschool is rather bland, so I would rather continue with my life.

Black lagoon 4 subbed...
Rock has elaborated a very complex plan involving mafia, triads, russians, americans, the Lagoon and even the church, everything for capturing Roberta...

That was quite the episode, not much bloodlust like the previous episode but it moved faster and more interestingly...

Oh but there was a lot of action still, Roberta manhandled with ease everyone who stood on her path and only got chased by the Russian army, and even on the plane she met Eda who arranged everything for her, Eda sure holds back even against Roberta...

Just what rock is planing, not even Chang knows or Revy for that mater...

Source??

My source (ANN) tells me: The official website of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica television anime series announced on Wednesday that the future airings and streams of the anime have been delayed "for now." Any news about the resumption of broadcasts or streams will be announced on the official website.

In addition, each of the first five Blue-ray Disc and DVD volumes have been delayed one month:

Volume Old Date New Date
Volume 1 March 30 April 27
Volume 2 April 27 May 25
Volume 3 May 25 June 22
Volume 4 June 22 July 27
Volume 5 July 27 August 24

The staff have already revealed that they have been working on episodes 11 and 12, and the 11th episode was scheduled to be streamed this week before the announcements. However, the official website does not list a Blu-ray or DVD release for the volume containing these episodes. The third volume of the manga version has also been delayed to a date to be announced.

Update: The official Twitter account of the anime reports that while the regular broadcast has changed, the staff is still aiming for the middle of April to get through the final episode.

It was a nice episode...

[entropy13]

It was an old post sorry. Yeah Madoka has been indefinitely suspended.

[kid41212003]

No one has posted for 2 days, i guess Magica's suspension does make many people sad... included me of course...

Out of all the anime... Why Magica? :/

I just haven't had the time to watch anime... I will now.. But, it'll be something on netflix so I can just "hear it" while working.

edit: only 1+2, who subbed 3?

[kurosagi01]

I think theirs BSS and TV-J that subbed OVA 3,the one i got is subbed by TV-J.

[entropy13]

hmmm... not sure what number i've seen upto.


edit: only 1+2, who subbed 3?

I downloaded some separate subs from nyaa.eu, as the 720p subbed I got had some unsubbed lines. They're basically the same though except for the missing parts (and the 1080p-appropriate size of the font lol)

[Cold Storm]

I got it.. I opened it to see how it was subbed and then closed it to wait til the next day to have "more time" to watch... Sad to say... I forgot all about it.. lol

Maybe because it is the most controversial anime in recent memory, because of its hight standards, it's made in shaft and is a perfect scapegoat...

The episode where they practice for a play is amusing.

The manga is also amusing. What with the way every female goes weak in the legs for the protagonist.

Spring 2011 schedule (http://randomc.net/2011/03/30/spring-2011-schedule/)

Fansubs usually take 12-24 hours for subs, so add that amount of time to the time they air in that schedule to get the usual "release time" for subbed versions.

The dates are shown there too, although the Preview would be a better guide for that since it's in "which gets released first" order. The schedule is just for what days they air.

[Fourstaff]

Started Highschool of the Dead. Story setting is nice, but I don't get all the fanservices. Could have been a great anime if they focused more on character development (and perhaps their slow slide to insanity) and kept cut down all those fanservice, but right now its only rated as "good" from me. Its still a cut above your bog standard ecchi stuff though, like Rosario+Vampire.

[djisas]

Yeah dog days...
Ima gonna watch Nichijou latter...
I also have star driver to finish up latter too and a bunch of other stuff, Bakuman is at its last episode too i think...

Not much of a difference between the two LOL

Tiger and Bunny = Real heroes, real danger, but the heroes are also in a "game"
Dog Days = The war is real...except it's a "war" game.

Star driver last episode: Fabulous
Kore was zombie finalle was unexpectedly awesome, actually i believe it was a sort of a "final twist"... Oh and besides the already listed ova planed for june, they raised the second flag in the end, and certainly there's plenty material for that...
Bakuman ended more or less within expectations but with a little surprise in the end maybe, nothing "fabulous" though...

Still wrapping up winter season...
Tomorrow starts spring for me...

[kid41212003]

Hanasaku Iroha seems really good.

I think you can make non-anime fan into one with this anime.. especially girls.

[Ra97oR]

Hanasaku Iroha is exception both visually and sonically which is rare for a non-OVA anime series. Its a high budget production for sure, hopefully the quality will stay consistent for the whole season.

For the first EP, the story seems very good and have great potential. Instead of cheesy fantasy life of only happiness, this is believable and hopefully brings out some interesting character development.

On the topic of PS3 media server and PS3, Can you actually watch 1920x1080 mkv's with embedded subs properly?
I use PMS with the 360 but i have to scale to 1280x720 via PMS settings or it stutters, its not my rig or net because the buffer on the pc is full and everything is hardwired so no issue there either.

I been debating getting a PS3 or HTPC for my room to pipe content from my pc-tv, all i need is something that works well with your typical anime release formats softsubs and .mkv etc.

PS3 media server just seems to be pretty crappy, PS3's arent that great for media sharing/anime watching imo. they hate subtitles.


considering that you can make a hardware accelerated PC that can play 1080p MKV's out of a sempron single core and a radeon 4200 onboard and 2GB of ram (win7), its not expensive.

That's what im thinking in one of those pretty Silverstone cases :D, or one of those zotac mini pc's if they can handle it ?

I wasn't sure if the ps3 was better or worse then the 360 at media playback, glad i didn't waste the money to find out as there sure isn't anything else to do with a ps3

Is there any way to play anime with FLAC audio through PS3 media server?

Yeah, it should do it by default. Or you might have to check the DTS/Flac to LPCM remux checkbox under common encoder settings.

It's most likely a bug. First, for the best subtitle playback, install CCCP and AviSynth and use AviSynth/Mencoder in PS3MS. Second, limit your bandwidth in common transcode settings to 200 for Gb networks, 100 for 100Mb, or around 50 for strong wireless.

The other reason it will stutter is a Java memory error. That's also easy to fix. You need to launch PS3MS with a bat file that tells java to use more memory, instead of the exe.

Copy this into a text editor and save this as a .bat file:

@echo off
echo Java PS3 Media Server
echo ---------------------
echo In case of troubles with PMS.exe, this shell will launch ps3mediaserver in a more old fashioned way
echo You can try to reduce the Xmx parameter value if you keep getting "Cannot create Java virtual machine" errors...
echo Last word: You must have java installed ! http://www.java.com
echo ------------------------------------------------

start javaw -Xmx2048M -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -classpath update.jar;pms.jar;plugins/*;plugins net.pms.PMS

And HTPC's suck for watching subbed anime as well, unless you want to use a mouse and keyboard all the time. The remote interface and subtitle playback in Media Center sucks, and things like XBMC don't do styled subs properly on many titles.

There really is no one size fits all solution.

I have a serious recommendation for everyone!!
All ages and all genders safe, it a new and innovative project:
According to Anime!Anime!, The Agency of Cultural Affairs of Japan invested 214 million yen ($2.26 million) in "Young Animator Training Project" and entrusted the execution of the project to Japan Animation Creators Association (JaniCA). JaniCA will produce four original anime (23 min long with OP and ED sequences) in cooperation with four production studios by the end of next January. Young animators will receive on-the-job-trainings under the supervision of professional anime creators. The anime works are planned to be shown on TV or at anime events.

Young animators are generally trained while they work on in-between animations, but such opportunities are diminishing since anime producers have been outsourcing the process to China, South Korea, and South East Asian countries.

The previous Aso government had launched National Comprehensive Center of Media Arts project, commonly known as "The Anime Hall of Fame" last year and prepared a budget of 11.7 billion yen ($123 million). However, the current Hatoyama administration criticized that it's a waste of money and dropped it. JaniCa was one of the proposers of the project and has been lobbying for improvement of the environment of young animators.

Singapore Media Development Bureau has launched International Animation Fundation and will donate maximum $3.65 million per one anime work through the fund.

the titles of these 4 projects are as follows: Kizuna Ichigeki, Ojii-san no Lamp, Bannou Yasai Ninninman, Tansu Warashi.
And i should add that gg as already subbed all 4 projects of which i have watched 3 and they are simply fantastic, fresh and innovative...

PM me them if you can..

I'll have to add that to the op.. It's something that can really help in the long run of things.

[djisas]

done, dont miss anything...

Edit, just watched steins gate, ive been waiting for it for almost an year...
It is very fascinating and intriguing, it makes your brain actually do something while watching it, thinking...

[Cold Storm]

Oh, no.. Brain thinking.. Not good!

Now, bleach.. has it finished it's "downtime"? Or do I need to wait for fillers to end?

[djisas]

Rukia said they gonna do a new story next week, dunno if its filler arc or they are starting the new manga arc...

[Mussels]

And HTPC's suck for watching subbed anime as well, unless you want to use a mouse and keyboard all the time. The remote interface and subtitle playback in Media Center sucks, and things like XBMC don't do styled subs properly on many titles.

There really is no one size fits all solution.

i just use a playlist in MPC-HC, and my universal remote to a USB receiver... play, pause, next rewind etc... what more do i need? gives me just as much control as any PS3 does.

[Fourstaff]

Finished Infinite Stratos. Its not as bad as what most people think. Story is of course not that great, but it depends on what you see the series as. I see it as a enjoyable "watch this over breakfast" kind of anime, along the lines of School Rumble. If you compare it with your average robot anime (Macross etc.) obviously its junk, but if you compare it with your average harem story (can't think of a good example here) its slightly above average imo.

[entropy13]

Watching Hanasaku Iroha right now. Not really my cup of tea, but I'll watch this while drinking a cup of tea (well actually they come in bottles now over here lol, "cold" green tea and not "iced tea", although we do have tea from Taiwan...)

You know I'm on episode 10 Infinite Stratos and it's just another harem with a different setting. It took me all these years to finally get pretty tired of the "idiot goes to all girl school and the women want him but he's woefully dense lolol" storyline. SO many anime do it too! I just started watching Freezing (don't judge!) and it's essentially the SAME formula. In Freezing the main character is a complete and utter dolt though, so much so that I only watch for the fan service (which there is a TON of). How many times can you use the same plot Japan? HOW MANY??? :banghead:

Sorry for the mini-rant, it's just very annoying. Some very good "original" anime I have watched recently: Time of Eve, Pale Cocoon, Kurozuka, Sword of the Stranger (movie), Nyan Koi (hilarious!), Angel Beats, and several others I can't remember currently because I'm at work. I've been watching anime for quite some time, though, so I have a lot of stuff I've seen. I haven't updated it in a LONG time but here's myanimelist: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Thassodar

[djisas]

2 or 3 times each season...
With so much better to watch why do you loose time with them??

I didnt watch IS or freezing, i knew what it was all about from the start...

Well, all harem follows the same plotline, with slightly different setting. I am sucker for "your average idiot" characters, so I can stand those anime. Examples include Shinonono Tabane from IS, Akihisa Yoshii from Baka Test, the ever so famous Mikuru etc. I don't like a ton of fanservice though (for example Highschool of the Dead), slight touch is enough (Code Geass).

[djisas]

I suppose you watched the greatest title in the genre: Love Hina and i supose Negima works too, although is a lil better than the norm...

[Fourstaff]

I suppose you watched the greatest title in the genre: Love Hina and i supose Negima works too, although is a lil better than the norm...

Haven't watched Love Hina yet, Negima is on my list though. I would also like to clarify that I don't particularly enjoy the harem genre, just that there are plenty of characters that I find funny and enjoyable to watch are mostly found in the harem genre.

[djisas]

You should take a look at love hina then, it has a fantastic row of characters with a variety of personalities...

[Thassodar]

I suppose you watched the greatest title in the genre: Love Hina and i supose Negima works too, although is a lil better than the norm...

I've READ Love Hina, never watched the anime. I loved the manga to death but that was in my high school years (6+ years ago). I've heard the anime doesn't compare though. Negima the manga was great! I watched a couple of episodes of the anime and they changed some major plot items sooooo much and the english dub was soooo bad (I'm one of those guys :laugh:) I haven't picked it up since. I only got through about 3 of the manga though, but they were very good.

[Fourstaff]

Fair enough, but I have a lot of anime queued up :o Still waiting for Madoka's last episode :/

Doesn't convince me...

Gintama is wicked...

I haven't missed any EPs. :laugh:

[Wile E]

I liked Ai Yori Aoshi (think it might be called Bluer Than Indigo in the US) way better than Love Hina.

[djisas]

Shaft wishes to finish Madoka in April...
We can only wait...

I liked Ai Yori Aoshi (think it might be called Bluer Than Indigo in the US) way better than Love Hina.

Hmm, i watched both Ai yori, cant agree it being better than love hina, it might be more romantic or something, but I liked Love Hina's characters more and the comedy is a lot better...

Edit: Tiger and Bunny, i am disappoint...
What with the shitty cgs and shitty hero looks...
It reminds me of Karas, it is somehow similar to this one, but that one was a whole lot better...

Quite the opposite for me. I found the characters and comedy much better in Ai yori, and also liked that they threw a little more tragedy into it, to give a broader range of emotions.

[djisas]

Leaving the harem behind, lets move on to better things...

Just watched the last part of the "Young Animator Training Project" Super Veggie Torracman, i have to say it was a very nice story, the animation was nice too, this kind of stuff should work well with kids...

[Wile E]

Mrs. just came back birthday shopping for my daughter with a surprise for me. She bought me the Evangelion 2.22 BD.

Speaking of anime on BD: This is exactly why I will stick with my DVD release of FLCL: http://www.amazon.com/FLCL-Complete-Blu-ray-Kari-Wahlgren/dp/B004DMIIPA/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1302137888&sr=8-9

Look at the user submitted screenshots and their notes.

It actually looks worse than the dvds in some spots and comes with no extras. Just not acceptable in this day and age. People are so desperate to have anime on BD tho, that people will still buy garbage releases like this. They could've at least fine tuned the upscale (to be fair, it wasn't done in house. Wish it was tho, as Funi has finally perfected their upscale process) and gave us some extras of some sort. Strangly, the iTunes upscales actually use a different source than the BD's and look better, but obviously lack on the audio and compatibility aspects.

Hmmm, I wonder if anybody has de-DRMed the iTunes version? I could easily a hybrid version of the BD soundtrack and subtitles, with the iTunes video if it was available.

Freezing is Korean. It's from a manhwa. :p

They deviated a bit with the anime though. There's more blood spraying around in the anime :laugh:

I watched Love Hina dubbed (local TV). That's a decade ago LOL

Really? So was it animated there or are they speaking Korean and I never noticed?

[entropy13]

Really? So was it animated there or are they speaking Korean and I never noticed?

The plot is essentially Korean, since Koreans made it (they're a two-man team, one story writer and one for the art). The only change the Japanese made (obviously) is that it's in Japanese and there are more deaths and blood shown.

Oh, no.. Brain thinking.. Not good!

Now, bleach.. has it finished it's "downtime"? Or do I need to wait for fillers to end?

I see there's an episode 316 out. Is that a new Bleach ep then? LOL

Just watched the end of Freezing...well that was a lot of scenes at the beginning you don't see in the manga LOL

[Zyon]

Indeed, sometimes I don't like the idea how the anime adds/changes features in the manga version, for whatever purpose.

PS: Being a latecomer here I don't fancy reading all 295 pages but, anyone fancy mahjong and related anime/manga like Saki or Akagi?

EDIT: 296, D'oh!

[djisas]

No!!
Not that i remember...
Need moar Saki...

[de.das.dude]

[GENTLEMEN]

@entropy13 I think I saw a OreImo nendoroid for sale there (Ozine)... then it disappeared ~_~

[razaron]

I had to force myself to stop watching Akagi because it was blasphemous of me to watch it without knowing how to play mahjong.

[Cold Storm]

sakye?

No... Saki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saki_(manga))

[Fourstaff]

We are almost at page 300 :toast:

Any good anime this season for me to put on "must watch" category?

[Shihabyooo]

I had to force myself to stop watching Akagi because it was blasphemous of me to watch it without knowing how to play mahjong.

Same reason that made me drop Saki... Half through the third episode I was like, wth are these damned winds they keep talking about !!!! :confused:

[djisas]

Good comedies are: Nichijou, A-chanel and Maria Holic second season, the 3 are all good and different from each other, nichijou being the wackiest...
Hanasaku Iroha is a fantastic slice of life story...
Tiger and bunny is the "american" heroes show with ugly cgs, but ppl seem to love it for some reason...
And lastly, steins gate is a cyberpunk show full of mysteries time travel and secret organizations, good enough to put the brain to work...

For now its the best stuff...

[razaron]

Any good anime this season for me to put on "must watch" category?

Nichijou. Maybe Gintama' if you liked the first series.
Steins gate is also supposed to be good although I am yet to watch it.

Same reason that made me drop Saki... Half through the third episode I was like, wth are these damned winds they keep talking about !!!! :confused:

I stopped watching Saki because it lacked yuri.
Akagi on the other hand was amazing. I grew chest hair on my nails, it was just that manly of a show.

[djisas]

Id like to add another good comedy i just watched: Dororon Enma-kun: Meeramera

with a 70's feel and little spicy to spice things a little, the characters are fun and the choice of cast is good, this will be a great comedy im sure...
This anime is also a remake of Dororon Enma-kun that aired in the middle 70's, that also explains the look of this new version but with fresh animation and coloring...
There was also an ova Kikoushi Enma that i watched and was really good...
The image bellow tells what you might expect...

[razaron]

I tend to ignore weird names. I ought to stop.

[Zyon]

If all else fails, go back to Naruto/Bleach/One Piece.

[Eternalchaos]

, steins gate is a cyberpunk show full of mysteries time travel and secret organizations, good enough to put the brain to work...

If you have watched Chaos;Head it takes place one year after that story

[djisas]

I did...
Not so fantastic anime, still wasn't half bad though...

[Thassodar]

Just started watching Bartender and Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls. Bartender is very unique, it rolls out kind of like a live action play with asides and everything. Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls has a different direction with the art style, it kind of reminds me of Tenjou Tenge but without EXTREME MUSCLES everywhere. There's a good smattering of comedy in it, too. I recommend both thusfar, I'm only on episode 3 of Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls though.

[phobias23]

finished Bakuman 23 ep, can wait for more i will start reading the manga.long time i didnt watch an anime so well done. till now is getting my 100% attention. even being a battle shounen anime watcher, Bakuman is over many series and is intense with no need of fights.
it really gets one into the mangakas world and manga and anime are produced. no wonder how that story gets every single anime/manga fan caught.:D

I watched hyakka Ryouran for the plot...
And tenjou tenge for the action...

I has good news by the way...

The official website of the Puella Magi Madoka Magica television anime series announced on Sunday that the anime will resume with its 11th and 12th episodes — the final scheduled episodes — on April 21. The anime's final two television episodes had been pre-empted out of "self-restraint" in the aftermath of the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake (Higashi Nihon Daishinsai) disaster, and then delayed temporarily.

The MBS television station in the Kansai area will run the 11th and 12th episodes back-to-back on Thursday, April 21 at 26:40 (effectively Friday, April 22 at 2:40 a.m.) The TBS television station in Tokyo's Kanto area will run the 10th, 11th, and 12th episodes on Thursday, April 21 at 27:00 (Friday, April 22 at 3:00 a.m.) TBS had preempted its airing of the 10th episode due to its news coverage of the earthquake. CBC in central Japan will also air the last three episodes on Sunday, April 24 at 26:45 (Monday, April 25 at 2:45 a.m.).

[Zyon]

For lovers of awkward moments, try School Rumble 1+2 (heard 3 will come out soon enough too).

[razaron]

Third series consists of 2 OVA's. It's already out (came out 2008).

[Zyon]

I must be living in the past then lol, say anyone still care about the classic ones like Doraemon, Hello Kitty and Crayon Shin-Chan?

[djisas]

Shin-chan is horrible, i could never withstand watching an episode with those horrible drawing made by a 2yo kid, and they dare call it anime...

[entropy13]

Indeed, sometimes I don't like the idea how the anime adds/changes features in the manga version, for whatever purpose.



The change is that they showed how she lost her two arms, both of which would be spinning away from her and squirting blood. While blood would be spraying from her shoulders, and there would be a pool of blood once she lands on the floor. The manga wasn't that explicit in depicting the fight at that point. :p

[Cold Storm]

The Sacred Blacksmith... Man, that was to DAMN SHORT... the last two episodes just where put together where it could of been more.. Show those other guys and boom, the series is over.. Dang it..

Dog Days is turning out to be a great series. It's FUN to watch, not just funny and "fanservicey." LOL

If only that's how we do wars too, maybe our world would be a bit more fun as well. :p

[Cold Storm]

Entropy.. I do want Dog Days!

As for Gintama... I've watched 3 and really don't want to go anymore into it.. But, I do have more, and I mean more to see.. So, might try some more of it..

[kid41212003]

I watch Gintama... It absolutely worths it. I like mindless joke :D.
:roll:

[Fourstaff]

Dog Days sound a bit like Zero no Tsukaima.

[Thassodar]

Shin-chan is horrible, i could never withstand watching an episode with those horrible drawing made by a 2yo kid, and they dare call it anime...

I don't care for Shin-chan either myself, but as far as different art styles go Kaiba is one of my top ten favorite anime and it looks like something from a Disney movie almost. Highly recommend Kaiba.

[phobias23]

The Sacred Blacksmith... Man, that was to DAMN SHORT... the last two episodes just where put together where it could of been more.. Show those other guys and boom, the series is over.. Dang it..

agreed, it left me a sour taste:shadedshu

[phobias23]

Absolutely YES!!! if you enjoy fun, so Gintama is.... FUN. Everytime i want to relax from other series i watch Gintama.

[morpha]

So I went to a convention on saturday. Got to talk to both the Japanese and English voice actresses for Asuka (Evangelion ) and Matt Greenfield (English Director), Mike McFarland (Something to do with 1.11 and 2.22).

Got a signed boxset of Evangelion Platinum Edition and a movie poster for 2.22. The poster looks great and I will get it Framed,.. After I have Spike Spencer (Shinji Ikari) sign it in August at another convention.

After the convention I went to a concert and saw the Cherry Poppin Daddies (swing band) play. That was awesome.

[Wile E]

Nice.

Speaking of Evangelion, when is the third movie due out?

Next year with luck...

The OVAs are actually really good! :eek:

I just watched it last night...

[djisas]

So out of the new crop of anime:
Tiger and bunny 2 was a little better this week, hanasaku iroha is probably the best and most serious of the season, great characters and nice growth in just 2 episodes...

Lotte no Omocha! with rie kugimiya doing what she does best personifying a loli tsundere, lots of fun and good character, if you into loli and good comedy...

Yondemasuyo, Azazel-san (TV) this one is a blast, crude and mature humor, those who watched the ova (probably no one here) already know what this anime is capable of, you'll only understand if you see it...

Nichijou is a wacky comedy with nice characters, second episode was quite fun as well...

A-chanel is another highschool comedy, a little softer than nichijou, less absurd and more down to reality, the characters are the strong part of it, it quite enjoyable...

Maria†Holic Alive, you knows whats in if you watched first season, a lesbian girl with huge nosebleed constantly daydreaming, an "angelical" trap with an attitude, a cool cold maid also with an attitude, an then there's God with inexplicable skill's powers for her looks and above all else, great comedy, not to much "service" actually if it bothers some of you...

Sofuteni, tennis and ecchi but nothing naughty to see here, its all covered with something, the first episode was actually fun...

Henzemi, now this is more serious than any of the others, while the ova is borderline hentai with actual nudity, the amount of humor put into the series is the same crude and adult humor, lots of sexual jokes, heavy fan service but first episode didnt have actual nudity so far...
Watch at you own risk...

Steins Gate, it was already talked here, its a cyberpunk tittle, a rare genre, with lots of mystery in the first episode, lots of unanswered questions, an interesting cast of characters, animation quality feating the genre, this is an anime where thinking is actually required to enjoy it and understand, as it seems many of the first viewers where left scratching their heads after watching it...

There's Dororon Enma-kun: Meeramera mentioned above, it is quite good too if you feel like watching something different, more retro...

There's dogs days, something about dogs and cats in a sports war, some ecchi and some comedy, still dont know if its worth watching...

There's also some shounen ai tittle going which for obvious reasons i could care less about...

There's A Thirty-Year Old`s Health and Physical Education, a tittle for 30yo virgins to learn about the pleasures of a 3d women, a pointless title with 60% of its content censored and not making any sense at all....

Oretachi ni Tsubasa wa Nai, this one is a little weird, it starts with an harem and then there are some weird situations here and there...
http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/7392/oretsuba0101.jpg (http://img828.imageshack.us/i/oretsuba0101.jpg/)http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/573/oretsuba0102.jpg (http://img203.imageshack.us/i/oretsuba0102.jpg/)

I think this is all for now, this week a few more littles are starting, like C, kaminomi 2, blue exorcist, deadman wonderlan, Aria the scarlet ammo,
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko, and a few others...

Seitokai no Ichizon? Y/N?

[djisas]

Heard its fun, but i skipped it after watching the first episode that was all talk between characters...

[entropy13]

Seitokai no Ichizon? Y/N?

Yes. It would also be having a second season.

[Mussels]

gundam unicorn 3 is out, BSS have released their BD rips. :)

[kid41212003]

YAYYY UNICORN!!!

Right...

[djisas]

Buu more mecha crap...

Just watched the new bleach episode, its starts with a brand new cool op full with action and hints to the new story which look promising, a lot is happening in the first episode already and soul society is in chaos, even Kon found himself a hot looking naked mysterious chick and brought her home...

I dont think this is related with the manga's main story which more or less i know where it is at, but from the looks of it there's going to be a lot of action...

[TheLaughingMan]

Boo more Bleach crap....

[Thassodar]

Boo more Bleach crap....

Agree! I'll take an intelligent mech anime (hello Code Geass Season 1!) any day over more Bleach.

[Cold Storm]

I still need to watch Unicorn. But, looks like I'll be watching the latest Bleach episode.

Good info Dj on the new series.
:toast:

[djisas]

Its for ppl looking into the new season but dunno where to start, at least half this season's anime is comedy...

New goods arrived today from the US:

Edit: Fantastic Steins Gate episode 2, new characters and a lot of development and a "shocking" revelation arou8nd minute 7, it was actually fun...

[Cold Storm]

Just watched bleach 317.. It was good.. Man, it does seem like it'll be a good arc..

Now, hopefully I'll turn on Gundam Unicorn tomorrow.. Need to watch Episode 3!!

[entropy13]

Just got a new PC, my anime are intact though (as they're in my 500GB HDD). For the couple of days I didn't have a PC I was just streaming through my dad's laptop.

Anime Pirate! (Sarcasm, I dare say NO one in here ever done no illegal downloads)

Just got curious and looked through your anime list, how do you manage to be 'currently watching' 29 anime at the same time? Are you a 29-core CPU with 29 pairs of eyes?

(Audiences suddenly go quiet and start golfclapping at Zyon, clearly thinks his excuse of a joke suck)

Anyone watched Chrono Crusade before? Or Trinity Blood? The blood effect in Trinity Blood is nice.

(Off topic) Your new PC makes mine look like mud, maybe I'll stick to building cheap PCs with unlocked AMD instead /sob

[djisas]

Long before, years ago, it was great...

I've an animelist too if you curious...

Although everyone's a pirate here, lots of us DO support the industry...

[entropy13]

Just got curious and looked through your anime list, how do you manage to be 'currently watching' 29 anime at the same time? Are you a 29-core CPU with 29 pairs of eyes?

Most of them are airing, so I can watch just one episode per week per series, although admittedly I should put the others on-hold.

[djisas]

True, we who watch ongoing anime must watch lots of anime at the same time to compensate weekly airings...

[entropy13]

There, I've put King of Thorn, KissXSis (OVA), Shuffle! Memories and Natsu no Arashi 2nd season on hold. LOL

[djisas]

I watched shuffle memories, only the last episode was good, the rest was a remake of the first, i am disappoint...

[entropy13]

I watched shuffle memories, only the last episode was good, the rest was a remake of the first, i am disappoint...

The first season is one of the very few anime I have in DVD. :p

The others were Galaxy Angels, Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins. My girlfriend have Trinity Blood and all the Full Metal Panic! series (1st Raid, Fumoffu, 2nd Mission).

[djisas]

I watched all the galaxy angels too, all but the last one, galaxy angel 2 rune with different characters...

Trinity blood was quite good...

I liked onegai twins a little more than onegai teacher when i watched them and FMP was great...

In anime the only series i own are Escaflowne, evangelion and my treasure Saber Marionette J which includes 14 dvds...

[razaron]

Shuffle. The anime that birthed the phrase "pulling a shuffle".
I've been on episode 19... for over 2 years.

[Cold Storm]

Long before, years ago, it was great...

I've an animelist too if you curious...

Although everyone's a pirate here, lots of us DO support the industry...

I like box sets... Yeah, we gotta love the industry.. Gotta love it..

[Shihabyooo]

Agree! I'll take an intelligent mech anime (hello Code Geass Season 1!) any day over more Bleach.

+1 to that :toast:.

I like box sets... Yeah, we gotta love the industry.. Gotta love it..

We all do. Mother earth doesn't though >_>

-Watched the 1st ep of Gintama. What's with the giant duck ?

[Solaris17]

I like box sets... Yeah, we gotta love the industry.. Gotta love it..

i buy stuff its over priced and i ask why. but im a physical kind of guy. i have to be able to touch it or im not completely satisfied. not to mention the art thats usually included is awesome.

[Fourstaff]

Seitokai no Ichizon is very heavy on the dialogue, and it has numerous references to the anime otaku subculture too. While I am enjoying it (haven't finished it yet), I would not recommend it to anyone who hates "Lucky Star style" anime.

[djisas]

I loved Lucky star, but Seitokai didnt attract me much...

Im currently watching Aria the Natural, it's been on hold for ages after watching an unknown n of episodes...

Its very relaxing but not boring...

[Fourstaff]

I loved Lucky star, but Seitokai didnt attract me much...


Seitokai does not have the "energy" of Lucky Star, if you like Seitokai you should like Lucky Star but it cannot be applied the other way round.

[djisas]

A good way to put it...
I do know that anime was actually popular when it aired, but only for more "veteran" fans i guess...

[phobias23]

guys take a look at this, this could be at least 70% true.

Finally managed to get back on track with anime again. I've been a bit busy at the Uni.

Any word on a 2nd season of Seitokai Yakuindomo?


Also besides Steins Gate is there any other anime worth watching for the fun/enjoyable factor?

[Fourstaff]

Did I just see Gundam Seed Movie? :eek:

Looking forward to Fate/Zero and Appleseed XIII

then why there is nothing on the official channels??
Namely amazon.jp or CDJapan or even ANN who usually pick news quite fast...

The date seems to be 10th of april which already passed an no news about it furthermore it seems J.C.STAFF hasn't confirmed anything...

I stand for what i said until official news no Bds or OVA for the coming months...

When they are made they will be listed up 2 two months before release on cd-japan or maybe even earlier because they already have most of japan's releases for the year...

It's neither fun nor enjoyable. Might as well watch one of the shows my mother loves watching. Just watched the 2nd ep. Depending on what happens next I'd drop this or not.

[razaron]

Gintama will be back to normal next episode. The tower of babel must not be.

You forgot to use ellipses in your typical abusive manner... :D

[djisas]

It's neither fun nor enjoyable. Might as well watch one of the shows my mother loves watching. Just watched the 2nd ep. Depending on what happens next I'd drop this or not.

But it is a good story...

For mindless fun:
Nichijou, A-chanel, Maria†Holic, Dororon Enma-kun, Yondemasuyo, Azazel-san, any of these is certain comedy...
Add lotte no omocha, if you dont mind loli's...

[scoutingwraith]

Hmm....i looked up Hanasaku Iroha, Kampfer 2nd, Dog Days and Maria Holic. So far only Steins Gate, Hanasaku Iroha and Maria Holic are the ones to be seemingly good.

Tiger & Bunny any good?

[djisas]

If you like heroes shows, americanized anime...
Second episode was nice and i like the characters, cg's might be not so good, but overall it passes...

[phobias23]

uhmm! i feel being ignored!

[djisas]

Its hard to simply ignore you when you put it like that...
I just have to say something...

I think watching to much Aria might brainwash me, i need to proceed with caution...

Im only still halfway season 2, so far so good, warm and fuzzy, calm and peaceful, boring without being dull, but its never enough...

Edit: this week is boring like hell, only steins gate and bleach on thursday, nothing else beside some other anime on mondays, tomorrow there will be a flood of fansubs including a couple new animes or so...

Keep an eye out for Ano Hi Mita Hana, brought to you by Toradora's staff...

[Cold Storm]

The list seems nice.. if it goes the way it's planned.. I'm just waiting on the FMA movie.. even though the "teaser" they showed a while back was old style version and look like crap.. IMHO..

As of being ignored.. It happens a lot here.. So, don't feel bad.. DJ's trying to catch up to my post record.. :roll:

:toast: Dj, none better then you.

[djisas]

FMA movie only next year on bd, good luck waiting, it's not even listed yet...
The movie itself airs on July...

Your record is as good as mine...
Given enough time that is...

As for the title.. You most likely will.. Work keeps me to busy anymore to watch anime.. Girlfriend also.. Man, 9m and going..

Thinking about getting the FMA first movie on blu ray... but I'm fighting myself since Samurai 7 is cheap as well right now.. Hell, even Summer Wars is getting me to want to.. lol

[djisas]

Last time i checked summer war was like 19$ on amazon...
Theres to much dirt cheap anime its hard to resist not buying lots...
I think i have only watched one or possible 2 Samurai 7 episodes, not sure but i think i did...


CS, this http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/index.html add on the first page, Nº1 source for everything anime made in Japan, specially to look up those BD release dates...

I think that list is mostly accurate from what i know, it'd be boring to check everything...

Edit: Just now gg a nutbladder released C: The Money of Soul, even i know absolutely nothing about it except its totally original and run on noitamina...

Underwater-commie released Denpa Onna, been waiting for this, its a sci fi tittle that i hope is good...

Hmm, Have to find some time to watch that.. the first two that you sent me to watch was pretty good..

I added cdjapan.. now bed time.. 2:30 comes quick.

Yeah, summer wars is $20.. Thinking about it.. but I really like Samurai 7..

Dang it.. Tsubasa reservoir chronicle for 32... blu-ray... dang it!

[djisas]

Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko is fantastic!!
SHAFT did it again, the character design is simply beautiful, i dare to say this anime has the best looks of the season, and an interesting story, lots of good comedy too...

Be careful, seeing these 2 pics, might cause permanent brain damage or might enter meltdown...

Also C, is as expected weird, but promising, so i recommend to at least check the first episode...

Probably old news but...Gaiking Anyone??:

[djisas]

Just did a full system upgrade, spent 4h replacing hardware, cleaning up, installing windows and stuff, although there's still a lot of stuff to install, i have it ready for anime at least...

Watched 4 new anime today before starting to mess with the pc...

Watched C which turns out to be an interesting concept and interesting characters...

Denpa onna was simply awesome, shaft did a great job and a very good first episode...

Ano hi Mita... short Anohana, it is also quite good, the story looks promising and characters are quite cool, so lets see if they keep up the good work...

Hidan no Aria, girls with guns, and boys too, a school where you MUST always be armed and terrorists trying to kill you first thing in the morning is just as normal as going to school every day, basically an anime where even girls are badass...

A-Chanel ep 2 confirms its a quality comedy without being crazy or weird...

Doronron Enma kun ep 2, as good as first episode, if you liked it you like this one too...

[Cold Storm]

Hidan No Aria.. sounds like it might be a good one.. Have to look it up later on..

Gotta pm me the system specs you went to!
:rockout:

[Sinzia]

Does anyone know of a good "mechwarrior" style of anime? Not like gundam, those move too fast for me, I want something thats slower, much more tank like.

Thanks! :)

I can't think of any slow tank-like things but if you don't mind space ships check out Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

Reideen, im sure its exactly what you want...

Big slow moving mechs...
Fantastic music...

[djisas]

Let me just say that Dead Man Wonderland first episode was epic!!

While i though initially character design was a little dull, instants latter the party begins, not only the animation was quite good, the music was fantastic in every moment...

Expect a lot of death in this anime, violence and all sort of bad things, Shiro looks fantastic, who, what is she??

It also seems according to manga readers, gore levels are off the roof and the anime is censored on heavier scenes, still some scenes are still quite crazy...

[kid41212003]

I've read a few chapters of the manga.. and it got me quite depressed, so i stopped reading it...

[human_error]

not sure if anyone's posted this yet but there's new Rurouni Kenshin anime coming out.

I seriously hate news with NO SOURCE LINK!

[The Witcher]

Guys you should check this new anime "Ao no Exorcist" they have just released the first episode but I'm pretty sure that it's gonna be a great anime, reminded me of D.Gray Man.

from what i heard it will be good, been waiting on it.

[djisas]

From what i heard its a typical shounen anime, deadman wonderland on the other hand has a lot more impact with its first episode and carnage...
But i have exorcist ready to watch and i will see if its really good or not...

That was even better.. lol

[djisas]

Hanasaku iroha 3rd episode was very good, it was fun filled this time, even some quality fanservice which might be something rare for this anime, some nice character development too, trully a quality story...

Ao no exorcist is truly a classic shounen anime, lets hope it keep a good pacing and doesnt drag, it does have potential...

[entropy13]

I've only been able to watch Dog Days episode 3 and Beelzebub, so the other ones have to wait until I get home (currently on vacation lol).

[kid41212003]

Anime is banned during vacation.

[Fourstaff]

Anime is banned during vacation.

Then why would you call it a vacation?

[entropy13]

Summer 2011 Lineup:
http://moetron.com/uploads/20110417_neregate_chart01.jpg

[Fourstaff]

Yes, Baka Test 2nd season, and Appleseed XIII!

Nothing else catches my eyes yet, but I need to finish the last season's Kore wa Zombie and Madoka Magica (whenever they finish airing it) first. Also, need to get rid of the damn exams first.

[kid41212003]

Then why would you call it a vacation?

Because watching anime is a stressful activity :laugh:.

[scoutingwraith]

Summer 2011 Lineup:
http://moetron.com/uploads/20110417_neregate_chart01.jpg

Hmm summer release looks a bit lacking i guess. The ones i might be following then will most likely be Baka 2 and Appleseed. Though Blood seems interesting. I wonder if it will have connection to Blood+ ?
