Kore wa Zombie seems decent enough albeit the lousy fan service.
I also remembered that I've started Durarara a while ago.decided to see how it goes ended up watching 11 eps in a row -skipped dinner for it-. I've just finished ep12. Epic OP and a beautiful ED. I give it 9/10

djisas · Jun 23, 2011

I think you should watch Baccano, its even more outrageous than durarara and from the same creator...

Akira is one anime that if you find cheap.. grab it.. I'll watch it over and over again just because of what it is in the form of Anime..

Viper, thanks for the thoughts on everything and hope you like it here in this thread.

Just watched Akira on blu ray and it was nice! Much better than the DVD, feels like it fits the screen better still think it doesn't have the shine of native HD material but its definitely great. The ending was a bit strange lol.

Loved the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball and Z. Ocean Dub is for losers, i even liked Funimations its over 9000 better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiqbyQuEUy0
Seems more realistic the ocean dub is just lulzy

djisas · Jun 23, 2011

Horrible...

Cold Storm · Jun 23, 2011

Glad you finally got to watch Akira.

:toast:

Yeah, I'm with you dj... the stuff they come up with.. :roll:

ViperXTR · Jun 24, 2011

ive always preferred the original Dragon Ball dub (Japanese one) >_>

The english dub (not sure if funimation or ocean dub) had some unnecessary/additional dub placed into the scene (mostly when the character is not seen on the screen), liked the original music as well (orchestra) Dragon Ball Kai made some differences in the music tho...

Just recently started watching that madoka maho shojo anime, because of some interesting comments in it so i got curious lol.

Still hoping for a 3rd season of hajime no ippo anime >_>

twilyth · Jun 24, 2011

Any opinions on Vampire Knight? I just started watching. There also seems to be a series called Vampire Knight Guilty. Anyone know how this is related? DVD releases were all in 2008 - not sure that means much.

ViperXTR · Jun 24, 2011

I only know that its a shojo manga/anime, aimed at female audiences so not much comment here >_>
But ive heard its a pretty popular series.

Fourstaff · Jun 24, 2011

Watched Vampire Knight and VK Guilty, wouldn't say its good, or worth watching, but if you have nothing better to do, watch it. Worth knowing what other otakus like, and when time comes you can recommend it to them. The manga is not terribly bad though, I like their artwork.

Any mecha fans here for Gundam series?

I do watch a lot of more recent Gundams, but I didn't like all of them. You can call me a follower but not a fan.

Zyon · Jun 24, 2011

Recent Gundams? Lol I thought series ended at Gundam Seed Destiny :O

You have 00 after that, then recently Unicorn. And a lot of random stuff like Gunpla Builders Beginning G.

ViperXTR · Jun 24, 2011

ive only watched Gundam Wing >_>

hell no - 00 was one of the best.

Yep. 00 was one hell of a good setting for them.. Wish they went along with Unicorn, or 00 for the one they have coming out now... But, it seems they do it like this.

For every two serious series, there is one kiddy series...

First season is not bad. The second one is an absolute disaster in my eyes. Cant remember any good part other than shiny new Mobile Suits flying around.

yeah it wasnt as good, season 1 had much more adult and realistic themes to it.

the music was Fing fantastic however, one of the few animes i've downloaded the songs from - i've grabbed a few from bleach, one from soul eater, all of FLCL and all from 00... just some fantastic OP's and ED's there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlgOu3C747I&feature=related

^ for example

edit: the actual intro videos are here

^ that second song is sung by the same chick who sung the soul eater song i love. some parts sound quite similar.

Fourstaff · Jun 24, 2011

The OP and ED are quite good, but I still prefer music from SEED, for example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx80S5GD50A

I wasted countless hours listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYo4XvAyK9k

both of those are good, but not my tastes.

i think its clear that you're more into classical music, while i'm more into rock and thats skewing our choices.

I started liking UVERworld and Stereopony after that. Especially Stereopony because the vocalist is pretty. LOL

But undoubtedly this is one of the BEST, if not THE BEST Gundam OP/ED:

Indeed

I like my music nice and slow, you like yours lively and furious. (insert sexual tendencies here).

I wonder what I should watch next. Something finished from last season please, I have developed a bad habit of "marathoning" anime I watch (Kore wa Zombie in 2 days, Madoka in one). Merry worth watching? I remember someone saying that the end is meh, but if its sufficiently funny enough, I don't mind watching (I have extra low standards here, IS is "not bad"). Level E is must watch, yes?

But undoubtedly this is one of the BEST, if not THE BEST Gundam OP/ED:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQC-U9vy6ZI

Really like this too

Mussels · Jun 24, 2011

wow we have some varied tastes in the 00 music then. that one you guys are calling the best is a distant third to me after the two i listed.

Doesnt that law apply for entering the US also ? That your digital devices can be searched for no reason at all. That aside i wonder if they found actual Manga or the Doujins?
