Mevvrynne Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Monster is absolutely fucking brilliant. I rewatched it kinda recently. It is one of those animes that no matter how many times you come back to it you will still discover new things. I can only speak praise of Monster, and Johan is a completely fascinating character. I particularly like Dr. Reichweinn and Inspector Lunge, but I do agree that Johan is an absurdly good character. Quote

Stanleys Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 After god knows how long, I have finally finished Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and I have to say, it was great. Best thing I have watched in a while. Now that that's over, I have moved on to Zero no Tsukaima since I have already read the manga. Quote

Hmm, I might rewatch Zero no Tsukaima again myself, it's been a while since I have. Â I last saw it when I saw all the seasons in a row nonstop, that was a wonderful weekend....But I will stick with finishing rewatching Monster and then rewatch one Piece from episode 1! Quote

Sounds like we have similar plans then. Watching all the seasons of Zero no Tsukaima and One Piece from the beginning. Should make for good procrastination material until my two projects are due Quote

solidbatman Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Watched Mardock Scramble: The First Compression last night. It really needed to be a longer movie and work more in the world building aspect. Very well animated though, and an interesting premise, but ends up being an average movie. It's just too short on details. I'm hoping The Second Compression rights some of the wrongs, but my hopes aren't very high.  Also made decent progress in ef: A Tale of Melodies. It's not quite as good as Memories, but still pretty damn good. That said, I love the style of animation Shaft does, so I'm biased. Quote

solidbatman Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Started Saint Onii-san. It might be one of the most absurd things I've seen. I freaking love it and will certainly recommend it to my very conservative Christian mother. Quote
Cali Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I finished watching Hataraku Maou-sama and i loved it, kinda absurd but good. Watching mirai nikki and baka to test to shoukanjuu at the moment. Quote
solidbatman Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 Just finished up ef: A Tale of Melodies. I think I'm happy that I watched the anime rather than read the VN. Shaft absolutely blew me away with it. Easily my number 2 favorite series now. Quote

Down Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013  i finished joshiraku and yuru yuri, i'll try yuru yuri 2 after i finish little busters!  Yuru Yuri is one of those shows I know doesn't even try to do anything, but for some reason I really have fond memories of it.  edit: Oh yeah I forgot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvWb6j0hv24  ---  I'm halfway through Princess Tutu and really like it so far. I don't really know how to explain it, but it never exaggerates, never put too much emphasis or too much drama. It's always so captivating though. It feels like a mix between Doremi and Utena, with some sort of depressing mood but likable characters. Quote
Silvachief Posted November 1, 2013 Posted November 1, 2013 how do you know the VN is not even better than the anime if you haven't read it? Â While i'm not Solidbatman, i've experienced both and preferred the anime. Quote

I didn't say I thought it was better than the VN. But I highly doubt the VN can pull off what the anime did. What I meant to say is I don't regret not reading the VN, even if I've ruined the VN with unrealistic expectations now. Quote
Forythos Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 I finished Hanasaku Iroha yesterday, still have to watch the movie. I must say I was really impressed, it is quite deserving of the praise I had seen. A finely crafted anime. The story and characters were filled with depth despite some falling into certain obvious archetypes, The animation was also top notch and very pleasing to look at, all in subtlety, like the rest of the show. The whole crew of Kissuisso really grows on you as you watch the show.

roninmedia Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Watching Gin No Saji before the 2nd season comes out early next year. Quote
Yukiru Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 ef seems interesting, shaft animation style is always amazing, but covering 3 routes in 12 episodes seems like an impossible task, they seem to be making all of them run at the same time, but even then it has a fast-pace. they also changed chihiro's hair color for some reason, and if i heard properly the seiyuus for some characters changed. overall it is interesting to keep me watching but it has many flaws. Â And damn, i'm going to get pissed at Kenji again and even more than before. Â also i wonder how they are going to make Kei's route without finishing Miya's route Quote

Nosebleed Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Finished Clannad and Clannad after story and had my share of tears for now. It's time for something more bright so I just started Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan and i'm on episode 5, Also the first mecha anime i'm watching, hopefully it'll give me a better prespective on mecha. So far so good, it's pretty hilarious and random and Gurren Laggan is quite badass. I know this is a classic but I never got around to it before. Well i have high hopes now. Quote

Kei's my favorite heroine from Ef so far! no pun intended  Finished Clannad and Clannad after story and had my share of tears for now.

I see Code Geass as the master of Cliffhangers if there's someone who knows of a different one feel free to recommend it, though i would probably watch it after a while Quote

I see Code Geass as the master of Cliffhangers if there's someone who knows of a different one feel free to recommend it, though i would probably watch it after a while Don't get me wrong, i watched a streak of depressing anime: Angel Beats, AnoHana, Clannad, Clannad After Story All in a row, and all for the first time too. I think I cried enough.. Clannad made me cry too and now i want something that'll cheer me up. I haven't watched Code Geass simply for the reason it's a mecha, however like i said i wanted something that'll cheer me up and i read that gurren laggan is a well put together shounen comedy with action and it has mecha so i figured it's just the right mixture of new elements and hilarity. Code Geass might be good but it's too dark for what i'm in the mood now. If i enjoy gurren laggan i'll watch Code Geass after as i'm aware it's highly rated. Quote
