Commissar Badass Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 GITS: Arise is really good. Can't wait to see the other movies in this series. Really really liked #1. Yeah just watched it today - you're right. I'm sad that it's released in movies (and only an hour in length); would have loved for a complete season of the stuff. But the animation was pretty snazzy and the major was bad ass as usual! Quote
Heyitsjiwon Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 Damn, I thought that Bakemonogatari Season 2 was going to start next week, but it's starting tomorrow. I was planning on watching all the prior episodes before watching the new season. Looks like I have to marathon nisemonogatari and nekomonogatari: kuro today. Quote
Ryoji Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 Ok, just saw episode 1 of Danganronpa. yeah, not impressed at all. Generic characters and art that looks like it belongs on the Disney Channel. Seriously WTF? All the hype on this one and I felt like it was geared towards 12 year old kids. As for the plot, ill reserve judgement untill I can watch a bit more. I hope it gets better, I really do. I thought this was going to be a more adult show based on the premise. But now Im just hoping im not going to be VERY disappointed. Quote

solidbatman Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Watched Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku episode 1. I'll stick with this show for a bit I think. Because bears. Quote
Ryoji Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 Just saw ep 1 of Love Lab and I like it so far its a pretty damn funny and silly slice of life anime. Love the Manga so Im stoked for this one!! Quote

solidbatman Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 And just watched Danganronpa episode 1. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with this show (still need to read the VN but thats a long way away from happening.) I thought the art looked fine, but I'm still a newbie so yeah. Quote

I just really hope they stay true to the plot of the VN or im going to be pissed. Seriously pissed Quote

Seriously pissed :angry:/> I personally got more of a Saturday morning cartoon vibe from it, which fits perfectly with the setting/story in a way. The art style seems to go well with the show to me at least. Quote

I was pretty disappointed that the show looked like it was trying reach a kiddish audience. I was hoping for it to be more dark like Future Diary or something similar. Quote
Ryoji Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 just watched Gen'ei o Kakeru Taiyou episode 1. LOVED IT. Magical Lolis + Tarot Cards + Magic = Good Times!!! People are comparing it to a certain Magical Girl anime (which I wont name because its bullshit and I refuse to believe it will be anything like that crap) Quote
solidbatman Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 That just brightens my day... and year... and life Quote
Ryoji Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 OK, just watched Ro-Kyu-Bu!.SS and all you need to know is... Hina!!! Quote

Ryoji Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 @Kendjin and Batman: I must be in the minority. While I like that series of Anime, its nowhere near top 20 for me. Watched the first episode and while it was enjoyable, it wasnt the best thing ever. Quote
solidbatman Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 3:56I made a mess..... ]CAN'T WAIT!!!! You are the best. I was gonna go back and screen cap for myself. @Kendjin and Batman: I must be in the minority.While I like that series of Anime, its nowhere near top 20 for me.

Ryoji Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 As long as I don't get any Hachikuji smack talk from you, you are free to think what you like. Nah, not at all man hahaha, its not that I hate the show. Its just not a favorite is all. Quote
Heyitsjiwon Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I'm going to admit, when I first started watching bakemonogatari I didn't really care for Hachikuji. Then, I started picking up the LNs once the animes finished and well... let's just say that she became one of my favorite characters because of the end of her arc in the 2nd season of the monogatari series.

Down Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 I said I wouldn't but I still ended up watching a few first eps... So, didn't like Free. I really don't feel like I'm in the target audience and I can't like the characters. Monogatari S2 ep1 had a very poor animation, otherwise it was rather close to what Nise was: less good than Bake but pretty nice. That damn teasing. Pleasantly surprise by Prisma Illya. I watched the poor webrip but the animation was pretty nice, with fights reminding me of Nanoha. As well as those Kaleid Sticks (with Kohaku and Hisui's voices =p). Seems like a pleasant comedy/parody to watch, especially for Fate fans. Love Lab ep1 surprised me too. Funny, dynamic, surprisingly good animation, overall very enjoyable. I'll probably watch a few more than disappear for a few weeks and watch the 3 following episode when I come back. Quote
Wahfuu Posted July 7, 2013 Posted July 7, 2013 Welp. Got into it a bit. Love Lab is great. Some.. surprisingly good animation and great chemistry. Prisma Illya is.. pretty bad. Like I expected, honestly. I might keep going with it if only because of my lingering attatchment for the Fate franchise, but that wasn't a very good opening for sure. Fate is testing me with this after Fate/Zero. Bleh. Although I think Gen'ei o Kakeru Taiyou was worse. Holy mother of god. Monogatari was okay. Hanekawa is just a bit stale honestly. She's pretty good at making the other conversation partner shine, but that's all. I have heard she gets quite enjoyable by the end of Tsubasa Tiger though, so that'll be something. This series script and dialogue still is great fun. Nise still remains one of the most polished works I've ever seen so I have good faith. Hanekawa OP is appropriately boring for Hanekawa though. Free is unironically decent. The absurd fanservice is part of the fun. Danganronpa was... well, it was something. Im not even sure what to think of it. Pretty dumb overall. But yes. Love lab show of the season, calling it. Quote
