Abyssal Monkey Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Inb4 Homura is actually the protagonist. What you talking about? I laugh at the people who think Madoka is the protagonist of Madoka Magica. The show's title is referencing how powerful Madoka's magic is, with Homura as the protagonist attempting to stop it. It's like Index, the show's namesake is the ability of the character who holds 103,000 magical grimoires and thus is an index, yet the show's protagonist is Touma, the guy who protects her. Also, you can skip the first two movies if you already watched the series. They are a theatrical recap of the entire series with just the third movie being the sequel. Quote
XReaper Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 puhhh wish they would announce index season 3 soon, want to see touma getting badass & stuff, like the dragon tingy with his hand....but endurence is a virtue..... Quote

Dragon thingy? That only happens in season 2 (I think its 2?) in the deep blood arc, and at what would be season 4 in the fuck the world arc. Season 4 is gon be good if it ever happens. You'd be better off wanting railgun season 3 because thats Daiheisai festival arc where the Touman spawns 8 fucking dragons from his arm. Oh yeah, and attempted level 6 railgun. Hmmmmm, Academy City War + DRAGON Arc or Level 6 Railgun + Touman Dragons The dilemma. If Index 3 had the English Halloween Arc, that would win hands down. Quote

Out of all anime characters for me thus far, she gets the 'character I grew fond of the quickest' award I look forward to seeing how she develops~ Quote

Shana falls more on the dere side of tsundere while Louise falls more on the tsun side though. Quote

Don't you despise Louise but adore Shana though Is it cuz of the Louise more Tsun, Shana more Dere difference? ~~ Oh gawd Episode 9 Louise + Love Potion Quote
Kenshin_sama Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 As much as I love the entire holy trinity of KugiRie tsunderes, Louise is my least favorite of the three. I still consider her a wonderfully cute heroine, I just don't think she's as great as the other two. My favorite is Shana and my second favorite is Taiga. That being said, I actually liked Toradora more as a series than SnS despite my character preferences. I felt a little more impact with Toradora. Quote
Ceris Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Don't you despise Louise but adore Shana though Is it cuz of the Louise more Tsun, Shana more Dere difference? ~~ Oh gawd Episode 9 Louise + Love Potion Pretty much, I find Shana heartwrenchingly cute, and some other things throughout the series factor in as well. She's more of the innocent, inexperienced, naive type. I hated how mean Louise was. Quote
Abyssal Monkey Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Shana was adorable. As I refuse to watch how badly the series of ZnT deviates from the LN because it was my first series, at least in the LN Louise becomes adorable dere later on. She has a complex, but she's dere. As for Taiga, I couldn't stand the drama of ToraDora, so the only thing I can really say was that ToraDora was a complex relationship mess. Alphonse best Rie. Quote

Waa ..... wa whaaaaaaat !!!! Dragons from Touma ???? The hell is that. I do know about DRAGON(only that it exits nothing more). But damn you keep those spoilers down, we haven't read LN's you know.

SanadaShadow Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Don't judge the show based on its first episode (aka episode 0 or the OVA they released before the real episodes started airing) please. For the most part, the show is extremely self aware and keeps poking fun at typical harem tropes but the OVA is completely over the top in that regard with ridiculous amounts of fanservice to the point where it degenerates into a sort of self-parody. Thankfully, the show itself isn't anything like this. What's Saeneko about? I tried searching on google, but I must be doing something wrong because I don't get the relevant posts. Manga is not the source material, it's an adaptation from the anime, so I suggest you check out the anime instead on this one just for the sake of it being the source material Yeah, I tried it. It seems I was right to judge it. It sucks. Badly. Pls. Stahp. My mind is meltinh. STAAAAAHP Finally started Zero no Tsukaima; episode 4. I friggen' LOVE Louise. Out of all anime characters for me thus far, she gets the 'character I grew fond of the quickest' award I look forward to seeing how she develops~ Well, ZnT was a pretty nice anime, but if I remember correctly there were four seasons and I had a hard time finding the fourth one. Lol, if you like the show, just keep in mind that it doesn't end in three seasons. Quote

But damn you keep those spoilers down, we haven't read LN's you know. Touma dragon was already shown in deep blood arc of anime. The second arc, episodes 6-9, or maybe the second LN if that's considerable too. I hardly consider that spoilery because you don't know how or why, it's just "he can". Hell, its so convoluted not even the hardcore fanbase knows, its on the same level as guessing who the 6th level 5 is (btw, new LN just released is total fanservice, he's just giving us what we want, first more pre-memory loss Touma and Misaki, and now the mystery level 5 he's been hiding.)

Well, ZnT was a pretty nice anime, but if I remember correctly there were four seasons and I had a hard time finding the fourth one. Lol, if you like the show, just keep in mind that it doesn't end in three seasons. It's a show about an otaku guy assembling a team to create a dating sim based on a 'vision' he had when he met a certain girl. He ends up basing the main character on her while working together with a cast of girls: the doujin artist Eriri Spencer Sawamura (childhood friend/classic tsundere tropes) and the romance novel writer Kasumigaoka Utaha (Kuudere & senpai tropes). There are two other girls but they have gotten very little screen time so far. It's a harem, which means that all the girls are pining over our protagonist but he doesn't really have an interest in 3-D girls, which is quite hilarious at times. The 'main heroine' Megumi Kato is also something else, because she really does not give a flying fuck about anything. She's incredibly refreshing to watch and she's basically the main reason why I love this show Quote
Kosakyun Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Dragon thingy? That only happens in season 2 (I think its 2?) in the deep blood arc, and at what would be season 4 in the fuck the world arc. Season 4 is gon be good if it ever happens. You'd be better off wanting railgun season 3 because thats Daiheisai festival arc where the Touman spawns 8 fucking dragons from his arm. Oh yeah, and attempted level 6 railgun. Deep Blood was in the first season, as far as I'm concerned. Mystery dragon hand coming out of Touma's severed arm go! Also, about the Daiheisai Festival Arc... I thought it was the one about St. Peter's Cross being put on Academy, yeah? The one where there was something alignment that allowed the territory where the cross was cast to belong to the Roman Catholic Church? Quote

Railgun manga has the version centered around Mikoto; remember, they made that punishment game bet, well this is Mikoto's side. It's pretty good In it we get to see wingman Saten and the reason why she is the best insert character ever. That ending to the arc... I was laughing. Quote

I was under the impression that it was just crappy animation(trying to show a shredded arm with meat sticking out), or it was just something that the antagonist of that arc(alchemist something) halucinated about as he was shit-scared. Oh well now I now that it was supposed to be a dragon and was intentional. Quote

Oh well now I now that it was supposed to be a dragon and was intentional. We still don't know why though. That was actually the prevailing theory that the guy was going batshit insane and imagined it, but then it happened in the fuck the world arc, and again in Railgun. So we have no clue. Quote
XReaper Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 yup there´re very little clues up until now regarding the dragons and how they are connected to toumas power or not. even in shinjaku there´re no big revelations. but as we know toumas existence is the central point in the whole series and it would be somehow nice to get some informations, i mean after countless arcs we still know nothing.

If it hasn't been animated, don't give names or places. Quote
XReaper Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 though it can be seen as a spoiler in a way it isn´t really one, cause there´s no real information bout it, you literally see the same as in season 1 and can only speculate what he is related to. perhaps there´ll be an answer to it in the year 2025 when season 5 has aired, regarding the current speed they are animating the mangas or the Ln´s... as for now its only known that several people before touma had possesed the imagine breaker, but nothing bout the dragon(s), or the invisible thing so far. after all the different kinds of enemies he fought, whether they´ve been espers, magicans, magic gods or other entities, i only miss the appereance of devil(s) and therefore wouldn´t be surprised if he turns out to be one himself in the end.it actually might become true, when you look at that what is known bout allisteir crowleys plan for the world, with the whole overtrowing of religions & creating an artificial heaven on earth, where touma´s power is playing a crucial role in it edit: as for the misaka attempt sry that i mentioned it Quote
XReaper Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 yuri kuma karashi gave me my wtf moment of the daydead konami turned into cyborg was too much for my mind Quote
Fred the Barber Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 I couldn't find a legal way to watch Milky Holmes for the anime club (you say "Excuse"; I say "Plausible deniability"), so I started watching Chuunibyo. As you may be able to guess from my avatar, that's going pretty well. I haven't laughed this hard at an anime since I watched Working!!, which is high praise from me. I was pleasantly surprised at Margaret McDonald as Rikka - I don't expect to enjoy her work, after her performances in Girls und Panzer, Little Busters!, and Tamako Market all sounded very monotone to me, but she does an excellent job with Rikka. The rest of the cast is basically great as expected (I generally really like Sentai dubs), and I was delighted to hear Brittney Karbowski show up as a main character in the episode I just watched.

Eclipsed Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I'm about midway through S3 of Zero no Tsukaima 2nd season was a bit ehh compared to the 1st; too many side characters introduced with story wasted focusing on them (ie. Agnes)... Void magic & Gand@#% lore was not expanded upon much(there IS more lore about that, right..? I like lore!!); repetitive drama between Saito x Louise (gets even worse in S3; how many times do they have to confirm that they love each other and only each other only for Saito to get tempted like a scrub 2 seconds later and Louise to be unforgivingly stubborn >.> oh right, there's 4 seasons -.-) S1 S&L (Saito & Louise) dynamics were the most enjoyable for me. No feelings, no commitments; just master beating on familiar for being a lecherous chick magnet. After S1 though it's Louise beating on Saito for being an unfaithful dunce (though it's her fault as well for not communicating her feelings; actually it's both of their faults for not making their damn relationship official so everybody would back the fk off) and so you have to grind 6+ episodes of back and forth BS just to finally get 10 seconds of quality S&L time (which then gets ruined by more BS shortly after) Siesta is the most infuriating reverse-cockblocking man-stealer ever. We all already know she has ZERO chance so when her only purpose is to create needless smh-worthy drama for S&L it's pretty damn annoying. That being said, Siesta's actually somewhat a good type of annoying (if that even makes sense) cuz like although I get annoyed I've also had a lot of fun getting to join in on Louise's being irked and "YO WTF SAITO" reactions whenever he gets tempted. And Siesta does have some hilarious ceasefire-truce moments with Louise whenever there's a third girl in the picture soo +1 for her? (tho -9324832948 for all the other annoying moments) >.> Too lazy to dig through favorite S&L moments. Maybe will do that after I finish S3 & S4 and do another Misc. Thoughts/Ramblings Edit: Oh gawd this post looks like a huge negative rant but I'm actually having alotta fun with this show so dw Quote
Nosebleed Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Nah i feel you, Siesta pissed me off too, there was no reason for all the cheating on Louise in my opinion and i always felt bad for her on that end. But overall i still had fun with ZnT, especially the ending of season 4, that was the icing on the cake. Eclipsed 1 Quote
