what kind of anime do you watcH?

almost everything. then i forget it ever existed and never watch any of it again, except for the really, really good stuff.

Currently watching Punch Line - weird show. The premise is one thing, but around episode 5 the tone has changed for the better. curious to see where it goes now, and its ecchi premise is totally irrelevant to the chaotic plot.

In the middle of checking out the new build fighters battlogue episode. There seems to a minor crossover from ZOIDS (Chaotic Century) appearing.

Rewatching Gurren Laggan as we speak. Haven't seen it in years. Still the greatest to me. I'm not really a big fan of Shonen or mecha stuff either.. it's just that it takes these to 11 and in a way, becomes really inspiring. Even to my old self.

i might rewatch that myself, due to its totally batshit dial everything to 11 attitude, it was completely unpredictable - but unlike a lot of other shows, didnt really rely on mcguffins or stop making sense while it did so.

Quite rare to be so completely over the top, but still sticking to its own internal logic.

I still can't decide if the movies or the series is better.

Gurren Laggan? I've never seen a movie. Hmm...

I'd love to see a prequel story of Lordgenome. Kind of like the Star Wars fallen hero stuff or something.

Dear Lord, Kittan's death still brought tears...

And I'm 40! :shadedshu:

Other than that, Bebop and maybe Claymore are in my top 3.

"You Only Kiss Once"'s fault.

FreedomEclipse · Sep 17, 2017

Been working my way through 'Zero kara Hajimeru Mahou no Sho' or 'Grimoire of Zero' translated. Starts off pretty good then feels rushed towards the end as its only 12 episodes....

StrayKAT · Sep 17, 2017

Finished Kill la Kill after realizing it was done by some Gurren Laggan guys.

Not as good, but it's kind of another interesting twist on human evolution.. But the opposite of the "Spiral Power" thing in Laggan. There humanity rose up through "Fighting Spirit", but in Kill la Kill, humanity's evolution took place through external/alien lifeforms and evolution is seen as negative. Same over the top animation though, which made it fun to watch.

got bored with the lack of anime and rewatchd one punch man (i rarely rewatch anything)

goddamnit, 12 episodes lasted two days. bored again.

I rewatched and re-read all Hunter X Hunter manga and anime. Master Togashi is one hell of a person. He would put a series on hiatus for several years because he refuses anybody else to draw his mangga. The series have a lot of ups and downs and a there's still a lot of plotholes to be covered.

Try checking out "Akame Ga Kill" - that's one weird series.

Mussels · Sep 17, 2017

night raid, yep seen that one

StrayKAT · Sep 23, 2017

Watched Aldnoah.Zero

Another mecha.. totally different than Laggan. This time a nerd and no powerups. It started out great, but the second season began pissing me off. The main characters stopped making sense and behaved irrationally.

GoldenX · Sep 23, 2017

First season is by Urubutcher, second isn't, same as Psycho Pass, same problem.

StrayKAT · Sep 23, 2017

Your Lie in April...

Is that for me? Umm, don't know the studios, but that makes sense if it threw things off a bit.

Rewatched both seasons of Silver Spoon (Gin no Saji). This time with the missus. Still great and heartwarming.

Maybe I'll watch that next. I seriously need something to cheer me up after that last one (Your Lie in April). I haven't felt this bad from TV since watching an old British cartoon as a kid, called the Plague Dogs.

GoldenX · Sep 23, 2017

Don't watch Anohana then, or Clannad.
Silver Spoon is as great as Fullmetal Alchemist (same mangaka), and it doesn't use action scenes to be that good.

I've heard about Clannad too... but I may be a masochist.

It isn't that I disliked Your Lie... It's just painful and even now sticking with me. Or more like, it's partly that it reminds you of real experiences. The pain of being ignored, the joy of a girl giving you attention, the helplessness of losing someone close.

I'm on the 4th episode of Silver Spoon. So far, so good.

Just pre-ordered mobile suit ZZ gundam part 1 on blu-ray as it was on offer in the UK. Been wanting to watch ZZ for long time after watching Mobile suit gundam and then Zeta gundam.

Strangely enough, Ive had this on my NAS since the dawn of time and i have never watched it.... Ive seen Zeta, I remember that... but i dont remember watching ZZ.

I just skipped through a few episodes of ZZ just to jog my memory and i definitely havent seen it.

On a side note -- Ive just finished watching 'Atom - The beginning'. I'll be watching Episode 5 of Gundam Origin before i hit the sack.

I havent seen any of the astro boy stuff. I used to have a big astro boy jumper as a kid but i never thought about checking it out. Im suprised that the franchise hasnt really been rebooted, though I guess Atom is kinda what it is since you mention it.

Full scale Unicorn Gundam is officially unveiled now. One of my favorite Gundams and they made it life size. #rgbislife

I am currently watching My Hero Academia, just binged the first season today, probably get to the latest epi tomorrow after work. I am enjoying it. I have been watching a lot of really good 1 and 2 season animes recently but I cannot wait for season 3 of Food Wars.
