Anime Nation

[entropy13]

As I have posted in 2009 here, there's actually a Blood+ java game for mobile phones lol (story is loosely based on the anime).

Fansubs' releases of the new anime are inconsistent right now; good thing multiple groups do a variety of the series lol.

About old anime, during the 90s local channels find it easier to get anime, hence Hyakujuu-Ou GoLion (Voltron), Voltes V, B'tX, Akazukin Cha-Cha, Magic Knight Rayearth, Slayers, Yu Yu Hakusho (Ghost Fighter), Dragonball, Gundam Wing, After-War Gundam X, etc. were all shown in TV (albeit dubbed). Add to that a dearth of sentai shows like Ultraman, Maskman, Bioman, Kamen Rider (Mask Rider), Jetman, etc.

Currently it's now more limited, and sometimes even the old ones get re-aired (not in the same channel they aired before though, they're shown in a new channel that didn't exist before).

When you feel like drinking beer, you don't find soda to drink. You don't eat candy when you feel like smoking, unless you want to cure your addiction.

You can't have an objective opinion on something when you haven't at least watched the 1st EP.

I have a TV but i don't watch "TV". I use Netflix and watch fansubbed anime.

New anime broadcast 1 EP per week. Usually, there are 3 or 4 anime that's worth to watch each season. That's 3 or 4 EPs of anime per week!

I'm sure everyone here has something to look forward to every week, some kind of shows on TV, but with me that's anime.

The last time i watched TV? 6 years ago.

No there isn't. 90% of the new anime released in the past 2 years is total rehashed garbage.

Honestly, it's not just anime that's suffering this fate either. Hollywood is just as guilty.

The problem is, people keep falling for it, so they keep making the garbage for the lowest common denominator. Currently, everyone is making anime for the kind of people that thought Avatar was a good movie.

The people I know that thought Avatar was a good movie don't watch anime.
The people I know that watch anime didn't even watch Avatar.

You are missing my point entirely.

Current anime is being made with almost nothing in mind except to make it look cool. The plot lines and character development completely suck. The same can be said of Hollywood movies like Avatar. Both fans of most of current Anime, and fans of most of current Hollywood, fall under very similar stereotypes.

and one common stereotype is: not Wile E.

seriously. fits about 6 billion people or so. big stereotype range.

I just watched a pretty good one called blood. However the story was a bit short and honestly wasn't very deep. But I watch Anime for the gore. So for me its like watching Godzilla for the character development.

There's the manga too, which i have...

You should watch more anime, every season there's a few there are really great and different from anything...

Last season we had Ika musume which took the community by storm, panty & stocking (needs no presentation by now), you wont find anything like that in anime, letter bee is another unique anime with great quality, Kuragehime was a refreshing anime,
Soredemo Machi was an interesting comedy and it wasn't moe, these where some of the best last season had to offer and all are very different from the norm...

Also i would like o recomend Wille E to watch Kemono Souja erin, im sure he never watched it and he has no idea of what he missed...

 

[kid41212003]

He passed the age for the highhool stuff. People do grow up, and their interest does chan. And in my case, I haven't passed that age yet.

I did not like Ika or Panty and Stocking. "Only watched an ep of each" Too childish in execution. "ZOMG boobies!!!!" Doesn't cut it for me, and neither does Moe. I haven't watched all of letter bee, but I did like what I saw. Might try Kuragehime and Soredemo.

That's how many out of the total made that qualify as original (and despite being original, how many still aren't actually any good)?

My point still stands. The current state of anime sucks monkey balls.

Thats true that there are to many unoriginal anime, to much moe, to much mainstream, etc...
Also i hate overrated anime and overpopular anime, like belzebub, there's so much "hype" surrounding it that i dont what to watch it, IS: Infinite Stratos is an example of rehashed, reused stuff but its seems to be growing in popularity many tx to "mechatards" that will watch any mecha anime thrown at them, i think Kimi ni todoke one of the most anticipated anime this season and one of the most popular of last year is overrated, its a nice watch but its to slow and mellow, but at least it doesnt rely on moe or "bewbs" and thats good...
Despite this, every season has a few exceptions, fortunately...

 

[kid41212003]

I read the manga Belzebub, it started quite good but after a few chapters, it got quite boring.

My point still stands. The current state of anime sucks monkey balls.

The anime industry grows and so does the trash.

Ya know the last Anime movie I really fell in love with was "Spirited Away".

 

[entropy13]

I highly recommend Bakuman. Of course the medium are different hence the execution are also different between the manga itself and the anime adaptation, but regardless of that the anime is great.

 

[djisas]

Ya know the last Anime movie I really fell in love with was "Spirited Away".

Have you watched summer wars and eve no jikan (time of eve) or Kara no kyoukai??
Kara no kyoukai is specially good cause it consist of 7 movies, a great story filled with mystery and an animation rarely seen...
And by the way, have you watched older Miyasaki's movies yet??
Like laputa or Nausicaa, Kiki's pretty good too...

Spirited away was great, but i dont think it was his best movie, even the next he did "howl" was equally good...

Ichigo Mashimaro

This made me LOL SO HARD.

 

[djisas]

One of the best comedies ever!!
Watching the prologue will make anyone an instant fan, it worked on me...
Have you watched Hyakko or azumanga daioh??
These two are also priceless comedies...

 

[kid41212003]

Yeah, i watched those already! lol.

 

[Solaris17]

i knew gundam talk would kill this shit. lets keep it real people. Back from apge 3

 

[morpha]

Ok I need some help locating an anime guys... My housemate wants to watch it

It is a Highschool drama/harem anime and in the first episode the main character is introduced as having a hand that in some way causes bad stuff to happen to people. This was a rumour spread by his best friend who i think was a homo...

Anyone know what it is? Any searches on this description just keeps bringing To Aru Majutsu No Index

all that came to mind for me was midori no hibi... but his hand turned into a chick for that.

 

[morpha]

midori no hibi was a good short read though... (im asuming you watched it, but I read the manga)

 

[Fourstaff]

Kara no kyoukai is specially good cause it consist of 7 movies, a great story filled with mystery and an animation rarely seen...

Aha! I like Kara no Kyoukai too, but I think the story is very Type-Moon ish, so if you are not into Fate/Stay Night and things like that, I would avoid.

Just finished Kaichou wa Maid-sama (from last year), I think its not bad. Would recommend to people who have nothing better to do.

On my "going yo watch soon list": Gundam Unicorn Ep3, Toaru kagaku no Railgun, Toaru Majutsu no Index 2, infinite Stratos, Kore wa Zombie desu ka?, and other older things like Darker than Black, Black Rock Shooter. What else should I watch? Level-E? I am mostly looking at series which have finished, so that I can watch them in one sitting

 

[Shou Miko]

what anime is good to watch atm? and i mean a new one?

the last aired anime i finished was "Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai" else i have watched other anime's some a little old.

i dunno if i should watch "Yumekui Merry" anyone know if it's a good anime?

If ongoing isnt entirely out of question, id advise to at least take a look at the ones i mention bellow...
Try watching SHIKI, the best Horror anime ive seen, about vampires...
Try gunbuster epic gainax mecha
Claymore, epic medieval action, unique animation and character design...
Kemono souja erin, dont let the looks fool you, its a true masterpiece for all ages...

i dunno if i should watch "Yumekui Merry" anyone know if it's a good anime?

I can help!!
Yumekui Merry is very good, it seems to be improving by the episode, main character besides great looks, is quite cool, animation is generally good and the alternative world is quite good too...

Madoka, 3rd episode brigs nasty twist and it grows ever darker, awesome animation and music, great action...

For the LOL, kore wa zombie desu ka?, first episode has guaranteed ROFL effect...

Fractale, seems to be good fantasy material, kinda like some of Ghiblies movies...

 

[THRiLL KiLL]

How about one piece??
I got one of the movies one of this days and i hatted it downright, didnt even watch it, it completely turned me down...

i can almost relate. i never saw the movies, but i tried to watch the 1st episode.

10 mins later and that was it for me.

3 years later a friend of mine made me watch the 1st 1o episodes.

took me about 3 1/2 weeks to catch up (400+ episodes) and i am hooked.

as for bleach / naruto. When will the filler end??

 

[djisas]

As for bleach, next week...

Been forgetting bout this, watched black lagoon OVA 3 yesterday

It was an all out war with many factions...
Revy, Saviola, crazy Katana bietch Shenhua and chainsaw wielding Sawyer plus Lotton for the comic relief and thats a team even more deadly than Roberta, speaking of Roberta, she's wielding an .50BMG Anti Material riffle in impossible ways for a normal human, but that only makes her scenes even more physics defying and badass...
This episode was the bloodiest in BL ever...

And Madoka 3, that was a great episode and it brings the first twist and very cool battles, and the witch was actually better than previews attempts, not only looked better but it actually put a fight...
