What anime are you watching?

[Brave-Charm]

I just wanted to know some anime that's cool to you all, if anyone watches it.

[Cloudstrife xx]

Mirai Nikki

[Zyrusticae]

Nothing right now.

However, I have to highly recommend Usagi Drop if you haven't watched it already. Completely heartwarming series. Everyone should watch it. Especially prospective parents.

[Xefi]

Currently watching:

Carnival Phantasm & Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru.

finish watching Steins Gate some time ago; a very interesting
show and i like the idea of time machine & time traveling. thanks
god the ending wasnt a tragic one. a must-see series for those
that havent seen it yet. also, the characters are VERY lovable. 9.5/10 pts.!

Working'!! (which ended today), Fate/Zero, Persona 4.

[GCoffee]

This season is the worst in years, imo. I can't even put into words how bad I think it is. I could not recommend any currently airing anime to you with exception to Bakuman, which again is just much better in manga form.

[Keilyn]

Been watching "To Love Ru" lately. Also rewatching with a friend DearS. Of course for non-Etchi, I tend to go through www.animecrazy.net and six other sites with different anime genres and IRC networks to find anime.

I used to watch anime through Japan Networks, but I truly hate waiting for episodes. Its the same reason why book series annoy me. I don't like reading up on a series until its complete because I just hate waiting. The only exception is video games.

[blace]

I haven't seen any in years, but recently got into Fate/Zero and Persona 4. Might watch Persona Trinity somewhere down the line and recently watched Fate/Stay Night.

[Yueri]

So much, since I am waaay behind... I, too, have not watched in years.
Just finished Sekaichi Hatsukoi though...

But great Gintama (seriously, watch it if you have not already) and never-ending Naruto I am slowly catching up to.

[Bomber The Cosmonaut]

Fist of The North Star.

[Sayara]

Hidamari Sketch.
the only thing i watch now a days

[Sha Sha]

Natsume's Book of Friends Season 2
I dunno why but i ended up LOVING it! I am collecting the English Mangas and soon the Dvds (in japanese for the time being)

[Ceresa]

Was a great season, shame most of this is ending now but...

The best:
Fate/Zero cliffhanger until April is a bitch
Mirai Nikki best yandere ever
Chihayafuru best sports anime of the year (karuta lol)

and the fun to watch but not really deep:
Ben-to
Shinryaku Ika Musume
Working
Haganai
Idolmaster actually expected this one to just be nonstop ecchi... but there wasn't any at all

and the goddamn trainwreck of disappointment that had too good a pedigree to fail so hard:
Guilty Crown 4 weeks until next episode, maybe if they try really hard they can turn it around.

Next season looks pretty terrible sadly...

[LK1721]

Gradually working through Mushi-shi, Shinryaku! Ika Musume?!, Tiger and Bunny, and Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru.

Re-watching Spice & Wolf since I just got those for Christmas in delicious Blu-ray.

[Ryno]

Haven"t watched any in a long time besides random dragon ball z here n there. Last I remember watching was murder princess which is a quick 5 or 6 episode series. Pretty decent. Was gonna say you could watch it on Netflix but they also got em on youtube.

Ben-to & Fairy Tail

Nuff said.

[Ghost Inside]

Natsume's Book of Friends Season 2
I dunno why but i ended up LOVING it! I am collecting the English Mangas and soon the Dvds (in japanese for the time being)
Yes! Natsume Yujin-cho! I love it to bits!
It feels so chilled-out somehow, yet engaging. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside! ^^
One of my favourite animes ever!

X men and Assassin Creed on G4

Assassin's Creed!? What!?

[NoiseHERO]

I know X-men had an anime but...

Assassin's creed now? @_@

I'm tired of hearing about that game.

[Crysteon]

Too bad Fate/Zero's first season ended last week >.> ....now I'm waiting like an idiot till April of next year for the rest of episodes. Type Moon and Ufotable dudes troll us! *speaks like someone crazed for the end of the world*

I'm currently watching Persona 4's anime...it's not that bad so far :0

[Taijutsu-Joshua]

I refuse to watch Persona 4 until I've played and beaten the game. IDK how I missed out on it when I had a PS2. Only hope is the Vita port...

You won't be missing much, some of P4's original story was modified to accomodate the the shorter timeframe of each episode.

There's also a bit of unneeded backstory that is added on to give the characters with smaller roles a bigger scene.

Fairy Tail anime.http://youtu.be/GZ2nrHGfB4E

[Noblewine]

Dunno if I ask this here but I'm trying to learn the name of an anime that someone was telling me about. Its a comedy/fantasy where a mad scientist turns his world into an anime and abunch of anime characters run around fighting a evil group that uses Data Drain when they defeat a hero. Does anyone know what the name of this anime is?

Its sounds really funny and I want to watch it.

[Resanoca]

Just finished Samurai 7. Currently on Canaan. D:

[NegaTsukasa]

as of late, watching .hack// Quantum. a 3 episode OVA. the other 2 episodes are not in subtitles. gotta find a solution to that. >.>

Soul Eater. It never gets old. 030

[Seth Astra]

Same as HU, I am currently watching Soul Eater. Yes, HU, I finally did get around to watching it. It is great. And the OPs are absolutely amazing.

[Amu-chan]

The anime that I'm currently watching is blue exorcist (further reading the manga) and persona 4
Have you seen Blood C ? Its made by CLAMP that did Tsubasa Chronicles, xxxHolic, Kabuto, and Sakura Card Captures

Gun X Sword. It's alright.

Why is he wearing a tuxedo.

[AC9breaker]

Really don't watch too much animu these days although I recently finished up Xam'ed which was pretty meh.

I've mostly just been reading mangas since it's less bandwidth heavy, and I usually find them more interesting then their animated versions.


The Breaker: New Waves
Hajime No Ippo
Beelzebub
Naruto
Bleach

and Berserk whenever they remember to update it.

[Taijutsu-Joshua]

I watch the usual Naruto and Bleach, and I seriously never thought I'd still be watching Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, it's pretty good IMO... as for anime I'm starting, I just started watching Darker than Black, and Hunter X Hunter (2011 version).

[NoiseHERO]

In my opinion hunterxhunter is probably one of the best shounen.

It looks bright and happy and typical dragon ball-ish from the outside, but it's actually really dark and takes place in a really fucked up world. Seems to stray kinda far from the typical shounen patterns of "keep fighting the next villian or train to fight(Or learn your next stupid special attack) him after he did whatever to prove he's your current strongest opponent." formula.

It's actually about adventures, assassin stuff and survival and the concept behind the character's powers later actually isn't annoying. Also Sasuke DEFINITELY copied Kurapika. D<

I'm enjoying 2011 anime, but I like the original better so far. Also hate how the censored the way Killua ripped that serial killer guy's heart out. and replaced it with some kinda stupid bag with the guy's heart inside of it as if that makes sense... was my favorite scene too...

[FOkyasuta]

Oh also forgot to mention im watching Samurai Champloo. Supriseingly the Dub is better then the Original Japanese Voice Overs...

Anime: Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!
comments: i finish watching "Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!" today. it was short. i like
watching it and enjoy the many funny moments. the show is a harem,
so you probably know what to expect from it. some of the fight scenes
were pretty cool. the story was so-so; i didnt really care of it since i like
the funny moments more. the characters were VERY likable. 8.8/10 pts.! :cat:

Finished the second season of Shinryaku! Ika Musume!

[Wayu]

Currently watching:

Guilty Crown
Nisemonogatari
Tales of Symphonia: United World Episodes
Brave 10 (considering dropping)
High School DxD (considering dropping)

Good stuff I recommend:

The three things highlighted above
Bakemonogatari
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi
Infinite Stratos
Legend of the Legendary Heroes
Seitokai no Ichizon
Spice & Wolf
Tales of Symphonia + Tethe'alla Episodes
Steins;Gate

BTW, there's an anime group out there. Might be helpful.

Guilty Crown is such a disappointment. The animation is outstanding and top-notch, same goes for the OST, no doubt about that; however, the exposition but especially the story's pace pace is just so bad that it still becomes just way too trashy. They really overdid mixing genres into that pile of mess.

Baccano!, Durarara!!, how I miss thee. Guess I will order you on BRs.

[Mkan]

Gurren Lagan came up on netflix today so I decided to watch the first episode.

it seems interesting enough, but there's no way in hell I'm going to watch the english dub

Yuri Lowenthal's voice just doesn't match his character...either that or I'm just tired from hearing to so much..

A lot of people that I know that watched it say the original japanese dubbing is the best when compared to the english dub.

I've also seen an episode in both english and japanese and I would have to agree with what my friends stated.

yeah the original voice acting is usually superior, however I think it's the other way around with the English dub or Cowboy Bebop. I personally found the english cast to be far superior tot he japanese one.

[Wayu]

I don't like subs or dubs. It's because I'm a native Japanese speaker; subs are useful when I have trouble with a pronoun/pun/accent but most of the time they get in the way. Dubs are...well, I avoid them like the plague.

I torrent my anime, though. Commie subbers have high-quality anime, and I usually take their uploads and simply turn off the subtitles.

It all depends on who's got the best to fit the attitude of the character. Some times english fits better then the Japanese voice but in the end, it all comes down to personal reference.

/agrees with the English voice for Cowboy Bepop

[Alnet]

Started watching Mobile Suit Gundam AGE as of last night. It's actually... pretty good. It's a lot more engaging than the previews led me to believe. Also started re-watching Mobile Suit Gundam SEED since it's getting an HD remake. I was going to rewatch it anyway, it's something I've been meaning to do for a while since I don't remember a lot of it.

finish watching this show about 6 months ago. pretty fun to watch.

Speaking of Cowboy Bebop I just picked up the movie on Blu-Ray. Only $12 not bad. Gave it a watch with my brother.

I also picked up Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood on DVD.

And next up I'm going to try to purchase Cowboy Bebop on DVD, probably from Amazon or something.

I swear I'm not spending my Christmas money on random crap.

Also I started Stein's Gate a few months ago then proceeded to forget about it. I really need to start watching that again. Oops.

As soon as I find an English subbed version of the third part of the Tales of Symphonia OVA I'll watch that as well.

[Ce'Nedra]

Is there a 3rd part? I only know ToS and ToS Tethe'alla Hen. I hope so, i like it alot. Shame they cut alot of the minor story related parts of the game though.

What's Steins;gate about? I heard the name a few times now but haven't been looking it up yet.

[Tetsaru]

I'm REALLY behind on anime lately. There's some stuff that's been out for probably a few years now that I've been interested in, but never got around to watching... Heck, I don't even know what current stuff is good these days...

I think the last thing I watched was a few episodes of Gurren Lagaan that a friend of mine downloaded when it was still relatively new. I really liked it, it was pretty crazy. That, and the movie Dead Leaves on Netflix while at another friend's house, but apparently that's a pretty old one.

Most of the time, I just end up watching reruns of Cowboy Bebop and other stuff on Adult Swim. Cowboy Bebop is still one of my favorites to this day. :D

[GCoffee]

What's Steins;gate about? I heard the name a few times now but haven't been looking it up yet.

Steins;Gate is about bullshit theories concerning time travelling that make absolutely no sense and that increasingly contradict each other with the following episode.

In short: People love it.

To be honest I actually really like that they cut all of the minor stuff from the thing, because really it displays the story a lot better than the game ever did.

Stein's Gate is basically about a group of college (I think) aged kids who have a microwave that can send text messages into the past.

[Brave-Charm]

I just start watching Rozen Maiden Traumend :D it's nice to me :p


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3qjJVkHBLc

[Ce'Nedra]

Hmm not sure i'll watch Steins;gate then.

Just watched and finished Freezing. Bit to much blood to my liking but the perv in me loved all the cut up clothes and uncensored breasts/nipples and such ^^ Also much and much better story AND combat then Kämpfer or Sekirei.

[GCoffee]

No, just no. Honestly, do you really find any of the time travel theories mentioned in this show reasonable? They make no bloody sense whatsoever.
But not to make you get the wrong idea Ce'Nedra: Steins;Gate was among the most popular animes of the last year.

I have no problem with idiotic, pseudo-scientific explanations for stuff happening in shows, but the fact people praise Steins;Gate for being thought through WELL is what makes me want to vomit. I saw cases were a person would question the plot technicalities, just to be crushed by fandom fools' ignorance towards science.

[Ce'Nedra]

Hmm it sounds like a boring anime to mean though, popular or not. I'll have a few other anime i got recommended by my bro that i'll watch first, then see if i can bring the mood to bother with Steins;Gate

[Ce'Nedra]

I started on GTO yesterday, it's good fun, done 13 episodes so far now.

[GCoffee]

[AlexCraig]

Saw the first couple episodes of Spice and Wolf recently. I need to finish that series.

[Sinue_v2]

Well, I've only really been watching what's up on Netflix so I haven't seen anything really good recently. Or at least since the last thread. One I did happen to stumble across that really got my attention was AngelBeats!. Despite having a very cliche roundup of characters and scenarios, and the comedy quite over the top in the gruesome department (thanks to the characters already being dead, thus immortal), the very human back-stories behind their lives and deaths, their rebellion in purgatory, and their eventual acceptance and passing on to the next stage were quite touching. I fully admit, that by the end of the series, I was dangerously close to bawling like a little bitch. And that was a good thing.

The art style is clean, fluid, and vibrant while the music is quite decent (both GirlDeMo and the generic background tunes). However the plot pacing could have used far more than 13 episodes, as many of the characters really needed more exploration, like T.K. Unfortunately, they're mostly all sort of brushed aside at the end. Annoying and a technical markdown, but ultimately it's forgivable.

Also, the informational pop-ups have the same sound effect as the menu pop-ups from PSO. Not really a plus, but each time the scene changed I got a little flash of anxiety thinking that I had been disconnected. That's got to count for something on a PSO forum.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvBHx9bNoF0

Since the show deals with the subject of pain and suffering of life, and what justice can possibly be done in the afterlife, I wasn't expecting much from an anime series when tackling the problem of evil... but it was still disappointing that AngelBeats! largely sidesteps the issue. Their answer is the old Buddhist standby of "joyful participation in all the sorrows of life", which is (I suppose) as of yet the best answer I've ever heard. At least it gave Blues music.

In addition, I've been watching the shit out School Rumble. Yeah, it's old news, but I'm still having a blast with it. For the most part, it's enjoyable but nothing really special. Kenji Harima, however, really makes the show worth while - and the dynamic he has with Eri leads to some of the better comedy moments I've seen in anime.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGpSxmofv_4&feature=related

Also, the second season OP resembles like what Bad Religion would have sounded like if Greg Graffin were a 19 year old Japanese girl.

[LK1721]

Saw the first couple episodes of Spice and Wolf recently. I need to finish that series.
Oooh, I like that series. Very interesting character chemistry going on along with...economics.

On the topic-note:

Started watching Chihayafuru, which is REALLY good so far! I didn't know I would ever be this fascinated by a show about a poetry card game.

Also started Mawaru Penguindrum which is FABULOUS MAX. I haven't gotten that far yet, but I've heard REALLY good things about it and I'm expecting something very interesting.

Senki Zesshou Symphogear is quickly becoming disappointing and a generic execution to a possibly interesting concept, and I'm hoping that it picks itself up again.

[Zantra]

I watched Squid Girl. It was okay.

[Raymee]

Guilty Crown, perhaps one of the best animes for this season, sadly.

[Raidou]

Currently watching Mirai Nikki, thinking of watching one called "Another."

I need to get back on watching Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, as I'm still on season 1 and... After that's done I'll watch Umineko No Naku Koro Ni.

Yeah 07th Expansion did a great job with both those projects. The Umineko No Naku Koro Ni fighting game Ougon Musou Kyoku Cross on PC is fantastic as well.

Didn;t watch a lot of anime this past year but I've been watching a few lately as most of them seem to be sequel/prequels to stuff I've already seen

Nisemonogatari
Shakugan no Shana III Final
Carnival Phantasm
Persona 4 The Animation
Fate/Zero

I'm afraid to watch the Mirai Nikki anime. There's just some parts to the story I'm worried they'll completely screw up... and one of them is the ending.

[Ce'Nedra]

^I haven't read the manga of Mirai Nikki (i never do actually) but i'm tottaly hooked. God damn i hate the cliffhanger ending of this weeks episode x.x

Edit: Finished GTO, nice anime but the ending is a bit meh to me. They shouldn't have squeezed Miyabi's story in 2 episodes really.
