Bleach-talk eh , I havn't watched Bleach in a long while and I think I'm okay with that. Been interested in comedy type anime lately anyway.

Have you seen Lucky Star???

[EndKreator]

Have you seen Lucky Star???

Nope , anything special about it?

[Xperimance]

Nope , anything special about it?

Well, there's no storyline to it but it's about the lives of four high school girls and........well, I kinda can't explain much about it, you gotta see it to understand it, but it is soooooo funny

[Jodez]

Soo I watched Code geass the other day and I loved it.. not really a fan of mecha but in this case it works quite nicely

[Xperimance]

I heard about Code Geass, they say it's quite a good show. Never watched it myself but many people say it's quite good

[Jodez]

Its good yeah, reminds me of Death Note a bit, has good mecha battles, lots of suspense, action, some comedy.. all in all Id rate it pretty high

[Sir PaniCore]

Watched the first episode of the Wolverine anime and its pretty much everything you would expect from a wolverine anime. It's better than the Iron man anime though.

[B4warn3d]

Just watched the first episode of Dragon Crisis! and the story has me hooked, Looks like it has some serious potential. Dragons = ****ing Uber!

[Sir PaniCore]

THIS IS A WARNING:
If you have not read the manga do not, I REPEAT, DO NOT! watch the Naruto shippuden OVA on animetake.
It's basically a music video but it has scenes that are extremely spoiler heavy it contains a Fight between Naruto and sasuke that has not happened in the Anime yet. Don't watch it if you don't want to have this arc spoiled for you like it has for me. :(

[Xperimance]

I watched a show called Higurashi and it's quite intense. In the beginning, it's very confusing and misleading but near the end of season 1 and at the beginning of season 2 everything makes sense at the end. Recommended for people who like psychological thrillers gory violence.

[FreakKing]

Let's see. During this holiday, I watched a bunch more.

Finished today is Angel Beats! A good anime with a surprising twist at the end. I can't see how it and Durarara!! are similar except that you delve into the characters' past. (BTW, Durarara!! is frikken AWESOME! Good story, brilliantly executed!) Angel Beats! is pretty bloody, but not in a gory way. It has its funny parts.

Highschool Of The Dead was pure awesome! I could really feel the panic that rises during a zombie apocalypse! Even though they are the slow type of zombies (not like L4D, as I was used to), the anime shows how quickly things can turn badly! I didn't read up on it yet, but I really hope the second season (if any) comes soon.

Gungrave, almost finished it. I can't believe how awesome this show is! It's a bit old, but really good! So much happens during an episode, and you think you are near the end of the story, then notice it's only at episode 6. O_O
It has a good portrayal of friendship (or something with a stronger meaning) the relationship between you and your "nakama" (One Piece focuses on this too)!

Going to finish Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood from tomorrow onwards.

Edit:

I mostly read the manga version of Naruto nowadays so I think I know which part you're talking about

[Kharrak]

Gungrave, almost finished it. I can't believe how awesome this show is! It's a bit old, but really good!

Man, nothing like someone calling an anime you remember watching as it came out "old" to make someone depressed :P

I enjoyed Gungrave immensely. That is, all the episodes that didn't have sci-fi and monsters, and so on. Absolutely love the outro song, I have to say.

[FreakKing]

XD

I have to admit, I have no idea why I said it's old (probably 'cause it looked that way). It /was/ aired in 2003 so not that old. And I confess as I was watching I was amazed at the graphical detail they put in.
Yeah, once the monsters came in, didn't have that big pull on me.

Anyway, another brilliant anime is Katanagatari. All twelve episodes are an hour long. The art style of the characters takes getting used to, but the scenes and action are pure awesome! Finally an anime set in the old times, but no frikken samurai (again)! I won't spoil anything, just saying WORTH A WATCH!

[Xperimance]

I don't know if mentioning your favourite manga counts in this thread but I'll say it anyway. I'm busy reading a manga called Vagabond which is a fictional recount of the life of legendary swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. The artwork is so amazing! It's different to the style of normal manga but it works brilliantly with the story. Worth the read!

[Sir PaniCore]

There is news that the bleach Anime is gonna end this year. (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-01-10/band-posts-about-bleach-last-season-deletes-mention)

I think they gonna do the same thing as Naruto and end the series for a while before bringing in a "Bleach shippuden", so to speak, instead of wasting cash on fillers.

Apparently there is sort of an ending for Bleach which means that if they're gonna end the series then it's finished for good

Thank you FreakKing, I have done so before but I'll do it again.

If you haven't watched Gungrave yet, do so now. Like stop reading this damn sentence (which I have no idea why i'm still writing it :P) go and get it! Even Look & Listen has the complete box set so it ain't hard to find. To put it bluntly, this anime kicks your ass, taps you on the ass and tells you to get the f*** out.

Anyways just finished watching Grenadier. Pretty awesome gun fight scenes and typical airhead chick with big boobs humour are the order of the day here. And it's short too so no worries of it being shonen.

Also, there is a rumor floating about of a new Fullmetal Alchemist movie in the works. But no one has any idea what it will be based on... I just hope any and all stories behind it is false because Brotherhood imo is perfect as it is...

[Griff3n]

If you haven't watched Gungrave yet, do so now.

Anyways just finished watching Grenadier.

Yeah Gungrave was pretty schweet... havent finished it yet...

You sir are the first person that i have met that has watched Grenadier. It is quite good... only got the first 10 EPs tho...

[Xperimance]

Back before Animax became crappy there was a show called Solty Rei that I loved watching. The story was well done, the animation was good and the characters we're very well drawn up

[Incognito]

Aaw dude I loved Solty Rei. It was awesome! I remember watching that first ep and seeing a little girl with weird ears taking on a giant mech with nothing but her bare hands! A true "WTF" moment in anime history!

[Kharrak]

I tried watching Hack.Sign three times. Every single time, I could not get past the 13th episode.

And Vagabond is fantastic, one of my favs. Presents swordsmanship in a gritty realistic, "painful" way that is rarely seen. Just sad that the High Res scanlators died :(

Can't say I have. Any good?

I've started watching Claymore, for some reason it makes me want to watch Berserk again....

Ghost Hunt is some good **** yo

It's quite good, only read the manga though. I can't really explain it but all I can say is that it's about this group of ghost hunters who go around trying to put an end to all the paranormal activity (excuse the pun) in different places.

[Jodez]

Well if youre into paranormal the Supernatural anime starts/started this month.. not really a fan of the series but I know lots of people like it

[Scy7he]

Been watching a bit of Super Robot Taisen OG: The Inspector. Seems pretty cool, but suddenly too many things are happening at once and i have no idea whats going on in the story. Who are the bad guys and who are the good guys when it comes to the "Special Units" Guess ill find out later on.

[James Donaldson]

I'll finally be able to see Lucky Star and those new Evangelion movies in a few days, unlike most people I don't have many anime-hording-connections ;)

Heroman was okay, but the story seemed too simple.

[Miz3r]

Well i have recently started watching Bleach and Naruto again, and found my collection of Initial D seasons that i am excited to start watching again.

[Jodez]

Super Robot Taisen OG.. is that a 2011 anime?

[zolmaster]

Anyway, another brilliant anime is Katanagatari.

It's an action show but we're going to spend 85% of the time talking in the first episode. Good lord, if the rest of the series is anything like the first episode it doesn't deserve the ratings it's gotten.

Enjoying Level E and Arakawa under the bridge, loved Kuragehime, and am really enjoying the Bakuman manga. There's also a great little gem called Wandering Son about a boy who wants to be a girl. It's not cheesey comedy but full on drama, and is handled very tastefully. The first episode was awesome, and the second episode was pretty good.

Also got around to reading the Deathnote manga, which is great for the first half and completely boring in the second.

[Kharrak]

Super Robot Taisen OG.. is that a 2011 anime?

Yup, the latest season is. Started running last year.

[Sir PaniCore]

Oh my gawd the wolverine Anime is ****!!

I take back my previous post, the Anime is crap, however, it is still better than the Iron man Anime. Seriously the first 2 episodes are all about how wolverine got his ass kicked by an old man with a stick. :/

Fairy tail is still brilliant, Erza, Happy and Natsu have breached my list of favourite Anime characters.

Naruto: When will the God damn fillers end!!

The Anime is brilliant. It's hilarious and after the cursed Island arc the fight scenes become amazingly done (during and before that arc the fights scenes are quite Meh).

The best thing about it though... NO FILLERS!!!!
... well One or two "one episode fillers" which is forgiveable. so far Every episode has been awesome and I'm on episode 63.

Does the anime follow the manga chapters or is it like Bleach? I think I better check this out... Thanks Sir

Going to get my hands on Fullmetal Alchemist soon from an anime-buff friend of mine , hope it turns out alright. Thoughts?

First anime series is rated pretty damn high. The remake, which follows the manga (the original series deviated early on and went on its own trip), is rated astronomically high.

The manga is a personal favorite of mine. Was genuinely sad when it ended :P
Fantastic pace, fantastic characters, fantastic action, fantastic plot.

No idea which series you got. The remake series is definitely the superior, so just hope for that.
Regardless, both are of very high caliber, so you should enjoy it no matter which you get.

Anyway, has there been any new news over the rumored remake of Berserk? Just finished watching the anime(for the umpteenth time) and busy reading the manga. Why the hell did the anime stop at such a crucial point anyway?

[Kharrak]

The remake was cancelled.

....but it's up and running again. There are a few teaser trailers for it, I'll hunt them down now and edit them into my post.

As for the reason why the anime stopped where it did: The anime actually left out a tremendous amount of content and characters. One of these absent characters were pivotal to the climax and conclusion of that scene in the last few episodes. So... because the anime left the character out, they couldn't really continue.

Edit: The trailers

WExssMJy_AI&feature=related
SW6qbv8K-r0&feature=related

That last trailer has one of the (very) important characters that were left out.

The Naruto Fillers will finally be over next week and the new arc is starting :')

[Jodez]

Just seen theres gonna be a high school of the dead ova coming in april sometime... I love that show

[Incognito]

Thanks a mil Kharrak. I also wondered why they didn't show the Skull Kight at the end of the series. But judging from those trailers it's gonna be good :)

[number13]

I'm so sick of the Naruto fillers and I can't wait for the new arc to start. I got a hold of Eureka 7 though and so far I'm loving it. . . . .But more than anything I'm amped for Beserk! I kinda gave on it when it just randomly ended....

[FreakKing]

Finished Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. I think it's been made clear that it's an awesome anime in this thread and I'm just here to confirm it.
It's got it all! Last few episodes truly had great OMGWTF moments.
It's epic!

[Jodez]

FMA rules no doubt about it

[Xperimance]

I remember watching Black Lagoon (Season 1 and 2) a long time ago (not on Animax) and I have to say that is one of the BEST ACTION ANIME'S EVER! The gunslinging, action and intensity of the show just made it damn awesome. I remember in an episode on Season 2 they make a mention about South Africa :)

FINALLY!!!!

[James Donaldson]

^Thank god, though the Naruto manga has once again confused me as to why it's called Naruto. Out of thin air the full on Ninja War starts and is surprising gory, but it's weird because Akatsuki is just Madara, Zetsu (and his 80000 clones), Sasuke in bed and most of the killing is being done by Kabuto, who isn't even a member, but is apparently the only reason the White Zetsus aren't wiped out in no time. I mean, how in the world do you start a World War with a terrorist group with 2 members, an emo kid and a dead-raising Temp?

It's been good lately, but that's exactly why it's become such a joke because Naruto is the freaking main character yet right now he hasn't been in the story for 6 chapters (Kakashi's flash-back doesn't count) and is apparently the only person, IN THE NINJA WORLD, who doesn't even know there's a World War on.

They should call it "Ninja Wars: Episode V: Akatsuki Strikes Back"

[Xperimance]

They should call it "Ninja Wars: Episode V: Akatsuki Strikes Back"

And then you see Madara walking in while the Darth Vador theme is playing

[Incognito]

Just started watching a strange anime called Freezing. Have to say while it's all fan service I like the whole Untouchable Queen title of the main character.

If you want some serious lol I recommend Kore wa Zombie desu ka.

Also while the second episode of Wolverine was sort of terrible it's basically right on track. Except I REALLY don't think that mullet is in no way remotely cool. He's just supposed to be hairy :/

I don't know if this has been asked before in this thread, and I'm not going to search through 142 pages to check, but does anyone know if there is anything in the pipeline for more Tenjou Tenge episdoes? I don't watch a lot of anime, but I watch my share and Tenjou Tenge was fun. And it ****es me off that it's not finished!

What the hell? We have a million Bleach Episodes, Naruto coming out of our ears but we can't finish Tenjou Tenge?

Yeah, I know how you feel. Even though the show mostly focused on Souichiro and Bob it was mainly focused on Shin, even though it wasn't clearly shown, but the story suddenly stopped and nothing was revealed at the end.

[Jodez]

I think they kinda gave up on that show, havent heard anything abut a second season and its been out for a while already

[Squirly]

The manga is still going on, from what I've found out. Apparently it wasn't finished yet when they started on those episodes we do have and once the story wraps up in paper-format we'll get the rest.

Apparently.

[Kharrak]

Nope, Tenjou Tenge anime ended with that first season, followed by an OVA and a movie, but that's it.

The manga itself has finished, at a total of 22 volumes.

I think the length of the series works well, even though it's a bit short, because we would have to face fillers and all that jazz if it was any longer.

I know that the next series that I want to get stuck into is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I haven't heard anything negative about the revamped series.

The world of Ao no Exorcist consists of two dimensions joined as one, like a mirror. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah. The other is the world of demons, Gehenna. Ordinarily, travel between the two, and indeed any kind of contact between the two, is impossible. However the demons can pass over into this world by possessing anything that exists within it. Satan is the god of demons, but there's one thing that he doesn't have and that's a container in the human world that is powerful enough to hold him! For that purpose, he created Okumura Rin, his son from a human woman, but will his son agree to his plans, or will he become something else...? After killing Rin's guardian Father Fujimoto in an attempt to bring Rin back to the Demon world, it led to Rin's journey on becoming an Exorcist in order to defeat Satan.

Now that looks like some good **** right there.

[FreakKing]

\o/
I'll never forget Darker than Black's outro song.

Damn... I couldn't quite decide. Had 3 favourites. But I've decided
Intro: Umineko no Naku Koro ni - Katayoku no Tori (OP1) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScUHens70QA) (I actually like the 4th intro, but it has a few spoilers)

Outro: Gosick - Resuscitated Hope (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rid883XJes) (can't wait to get the full version of the song!)

(Please, if an intro spoils the story and you post it, say so before)

[Xperimance]

Intro: Lucky Star
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViEH57xQu1c
Who doesn't love watching cute anime girls dancing while listening to an upbeat bubblegum song?

Outro: Samurai Champloo

Just a beautiful song made for an awesome anime series, works well for the setting and situation of the series

Who doesn't love watching cute anime girls dancing while listening to an upbeat bubblegum song?

*puts hand up*

But I'm a "burnout-phase" anime fan, so I'm picky and snooty :P

[EndKreator]

My favourites
Intro:
-Ghost In the shell S.A.C
- Fate Stay Night(first arc)
-Claymore , it's absolutely misleading about the main characters , I love it .

Outro:
Samurai 7 , I will rejoice the next time I hear that theme.

[Stalker 103]

I love the Death Note Intro song.
What the hell is a human sucker anyway?

[Jodez]

Watched the latest pokemon movie last night and man was it awesome, cant believe I forgot how great pokemon could be.. made me want to play the games again.. wish I had Pokemon Black :(

[Incognito]

Just finished watching Yu Yu Hakusho.

My God.... it's awesome....

Seriously it's good! Try it!

[Kharrak]

If you enjoyed Yu Yu Hakusho, check out Hunter X Hunter, the mangaka's followup and current work (if you haven't already). I do believe it's rated higher than Yu Yu Hakusho. I really, really enjoyed it, and the anime received quite high praise. Characters are great, fights are fun, and, one of the reasons I love the series so much, is that characters you meet stay powerful throughout - rather than being powerful the first time you meet them, and then suddenly being beaten up when the character has trained up.

The anime is about... 64 eps, with two OVAs. It doesn't conclude the story, as the manga is still going, but it cuts off before the arc where issues with the mangaka affected the quality of the manga and it's release schedule. A pity, since it's one of my favorites :(

The mangaka is actually notorious for botching up his work when he gets "tired" of it. Same thing happened with Yu Yu Hakusho. He ended the entire series immediately and suddenly within a few chapters, in the middle of the story. The anime, thankfully, avoided this and actually fleshed out a proper end to the story.

[Darranged]

Just finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood last night, awesome series that stuck quite closely to the manga.

Now to start watching these old episodes of Tenchi Muyo that I found the other day. Gah! English dubbing!

[Cranky]

New so couldnt read through the billions of posts .. But im not the biggest anime fan but im enjoying fairy tail allot at the moment

[NecroWolf]

I saw the first couple of episodes of Haruhi Suzumiya on Friday (anime society screening! :D) and it seems quite interesting, so I'm getting the rest tomorrow.

Will do, Thanks Kharrak. And wow, I'm glad I watched the anime first instead of reading the manga.

Also, who else here has been watching an anime called "Freezing"? It is actually very good! It's like a combination of Ikki Tosen and Evangelion with a dash of IS. And the title for the main character "the untouchable queen" is quite possibly the coolest title ever for an anime character. Hell my sister is actually thinking of using that title as a nick.

Oh and on the topic of favourite intro and outro songs mine is from Gungrave. Can't really say why, maybe it's because it sets the mood or something. But my second fave is from FMA Brotherhood: the second last intro they used was pretty damn awesome but I feel like they should have used that intro last because the soundtrack makes it sound like a "this is it! THIS IS THE HOMESTRETCH!" kind of song.

In case any of you wondering if you'll ever see your favourite manga/anime again, here's a list of artists/studio people that are confirmed to be OK, after the Japan quake.

*sigh*

So I found out that a feature film for Fullmetal Alchemist Broherhood has aired in Japan a week or two ago and is working on a translated theatre release planned later this year. (rumors only)

:( (http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com)

Now, don't get me wrong, I thought FMAB was freaking awesome, but it already had a perfect ending! I just fear something is going to happen in this film that's going to throw the whole story ending into disarray.

And to add insult to injury a 3rd season of Code Geass has been announced...

[Jodez]

I think the new Code Geass is just a spinoff or side story or whatever, which isnt so bad as it wont mess up the original's story... plus the Code Geass manga has spinoffs so I think it'll be ok

And Im pretty sure the FMA Brotherhood movie is only releasing in Japan in July

Only anime i have watched and am addicted too is Naruto Shippuden and Bleach, but ran out of episodes too watch so need to wait till can get new series too watch :(

Recently watched a show called Chibi Vampire, or Karin as it's usually called. Really a light-hearted anime with great characters and an overall great story. Waaaaay better than Twilight!!!

One Piece. That'll keep you busy for a while...

I forgot that Rhetorical questions don't work very well on the internet... :P

Anyway it did come out, it just happened to be a day late.

What about Berserk, it has to be in the top 10. It was the one that got me into Anime.

1. School Rumble has to be one of the funniest shows I've watched in a while , right now I'm waiting to get my hands on the second season

2.Kenichi: History's greatest disciple gained my respect , a humorous show with excellent fight scenes.
I cracked hard.

...Oh and Vampire Knight has to be the most depressing show I've ever watched (and I thought Claymore was dark). Vampire Knight takes the cake. Well , those are about all the shows that have been burned into my skull as of late.

It truly is the funniest show ever made, it's random yet it fits in perfectly in the end. IMO, I think the voice acting for both the english and japanse versions of the anime were well done

Anywho, has anyone seen Girls Bravo?

Damn! The Supernatural anime's first episode is already dubbed!

Also finally watched Cowboy Bebop's movie, it's pretty damn awesome but out of curiosity I switched to english and found that, *sigh* Steven Blum voices Spike. Still an awesome movie.

Also, I can't say I have seen Girls Bravo. Any good? What anime does it relate to?

[Xperimance]

Well, it's about this guy who is, believe it or not, allegic to girls so one day he discovers this portal that leads him to another planet where it's only ruled by girls so when he returns this one girl returns with him and so ya, thats how it is, haven't finished the series so I don't know the ending

[Sir PaniCore]

Hey guys, just to spice up the thread a bit, what was the most EPIC anime fight scene you have ever seen?

For me it has to be the Final battle in Toppa tengen Gurren Laggan. (Do not watch clip if you haven't watched the show yet; contains spoilers)
wOOCp6sdzJc

Dude... They are throwing GALAXIES on each other. You can't get more epic than that.

Totally agree with you. In scale you couldn't get more epic than Gurren Lagann. I mean, two mechs chucking universes at each other like rocks? Where else have you seen it?

[Deathburst]

yeah Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was really epic! For me one of the best fighting scenes was in Naruto where pain and Naruto fought...things really got out of hand there.

[Xperimance]

I would have to say when Ichigo and Hollow Ichigo fight while in the real world Ichigo is trying to control his inner hollow.

[Darranged]

The Naruto vs Pain battle was epic from start to finish. That and the final showdown in FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhoods was riveting on a visceral and emotional scale.

[FreakKing]

Tengen Toppa-Gurren Lagann should be the definition of EPIC!

Seriously, One Piece for epic fight sequences? They throw one punch and spend the next four episodes going "I will win" and "Nu uh, I'm gonna win!".

[Kharrak]

Lol. You just made my day. And Kharrak too because what he says rings true.

Probably not so epic but the final episode in Berserk where Guts cuts off his own damn arm with a broken sword to save Casca from getting the old in out with Femto was pretty damn epic. And probably the most painful thing in anime ever next to SS3 Goku getting hit by the back of Kid Buu's head in DBZ.

[FreakKing]

I have to disagree with you there. Well, partially.
In the beginning of One Piece, the fight scenes were awesome and to the point. However, ever since Alabasta Kingdom, (more) comedy was forced during the fights and each member of the Straw Hat Crew separates to fight their own battles. Interchanging between the increasing Straw Hat member count streeeeeeetches battles out horribly like Alabasta and Enies Lobby.
The talking during battles is MUCH more evident in Bleach and Naruto...


Welcome to the shounen genre.

... exactly.

[Drone]

How's the Death Note ova/oav? I starting reading the Manga(Actually found the Black Edition at an Exclusive Books) and I'm finding it very interesting.

[B4warn3d]

Naruto has some serious epic fight scenes, like Naruto vs. Orochimaru, Naruto vs. Pain.

[edit] never forget the Sasuke vs. Itachi scenes. Simply awe-some! :P


The most unepic 'battle' goes to Bleach, Ichigo vs. Aizen...

[Jodez]

One of my favourite battles of Naruto was Tsunade and Jiraiya vs Orochimaru... was greatness

[Xperimance]

Since we're mosly talking about Naruto fight scenes, I'll join in the chain too. Mine has to be The Zabuza arc from the first Naruto and Sasuke VS Itachi in Shippuuden

[Griff3n]

Mine has to be The Zabuza arc from the first Naruto and Sasuke VS Itachi in Shippuuden

Isnt that the first battle that we see what Naruto is really capable of? and the Itachi fight was really bad ass.

[Xperimance]

Ja, but to be more specific with what I said earlier the battle I liked in the Zabuza arc was Kakashi VS Zabuza.

[Jodez]

So it looks like they're making an anime movie of Mass Effect

"BioWare, a division of leading video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc. and FUNimation Entertainment, the leading distributor of Japanese animation in North America, announced today an agreement to create an anime feature film adapted from one of the video game industry's most revered franchises, Mass Effect."

http://alt.systemlink.me/2011/04/anime-feature-film-of-mass-effect.html

Could be good maybe?

[Kharrak]

Just to be clear, it's T.O Entertainment that's doing the production, while FUNimation brings it over to the west. T.O doesn't have much of a track record, but what they've done seems of quality, and they seem to be able to pull off several styles, so I have high hopes!

[Deathburst]

Another epic battle scene/scenes is from Claymore ... i mean with that anime i never knew what was going to happen, from heroins being killed to just plain epic fight scenes

[Scy7he]

There are a few animes coming out this month that im really interested in viewing.

There is the X-Men anime.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-VrfU3t4VQ

----------------------

Anime called Toriko. (Already 2 episodes out it seems)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kocn1DfHFj0

Which was a short movie at first, as far as i can tell.

---------------------------

A show called A Channel, which reminds me of Lucky Star.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8kwqbgBHcg

-------------------------------

An Ecchi anime called Astarotte no Omocha!
Which is about a loli succubus who at a certain age has to get herself a male harem, and then needs their semen to stay young and beautiful. :p


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vhcZIRWD80

----------------------------

Seikon No Qwaser Season 2 seems to be coming out too.

---------------------------

Hidan no Aria , an anime about a school that trains children to become gun blazing detectives.

---------------------------

And finally an anime called Deadman Wonderland. Which ill just paste the info of.

"A massive earthquake ravaged Japan's mainland and destroyed most of Tokyo, sinking three-quarters of it into the ocean. Ten years later, the story starts with Igarashi Ganta, a seemingly ordinary, unassuming middle school student attending Nagano Prefecture's middle school. An escapee, a survivor of the great earthquake, Ganta has no memories of the tragedy and has lived a simple, normal life. This all changes one day when a strange man covered in blood and crimson armour appears, floating, out of his classroom windows. Smirking madly, this Red Man massacres Ganta's entire class and, instead of killing him, embeds a red crystal shard in his chest. Within days of the massacre, Ganta is declared the sole suspect and, following a suspiciously quick trial, is sentenced to life imprisonment in Deadman Wonderland, a massive theme-park-like prison."

Sounds interesting at least.

[FreakKing]

Holy ****, really? I didn't even know a second season was in the making.

THIS HAS MADE MY YEAR.

This goes down in history! :P

I'm watching Nijuu-Mensou no Musume. But only found 14 episodes. ;_; It's a pretty decent story!

@ Scy7he
I'm also keeping an eye on Deadman Wonderland. I've got the manga, but never bothered to read it. Till now.

[whitecopter]

Could some please put up a poll or list which contain the current best anime, preferably finished. I would really like to go through all the post but, come on most of these replies contain personal opinions not everyones general acceptance of what is the best currently. I would like to do one myself but, I don't really know all the anime.

[Kharrak]

...come on most of these replies contain personal opinions not everyones general acceptance of what is the best currently. I would like to do one myself but, I don't really know all the anime.

Then why are you asking for a list from us :X

I can give you a list of the highest rated anime. As for "best", that's entirely subjective.

Okay, so last week I decided I'm gonna go int Animeworx and decide to pick a anime box set out randomly and see if I like it. The resulting anime I picked was Chromed Shell Regios.

My lord it's a pretty sweet anime. It strangely reminds me of the story in Blazblue with almost similar characters. The fighting scenes are awesome and I tried the english language which, because it was published by Funimation and mostly the cast from D.Grayman's eng dub, is pretty darn sweet.

I'd say check it out if you have the time...

[Shad0wstr1k3]

If you have decent internet, you can watch anime online for free. And I'm sure it's not illegal. Adds on the websites pay for it. As long as your just watching and not downloading.

After years of searching, I finally got a hold of the english dub of excel saga today and it's so much funnier than I remember(then again, the first time I watched it, I didn't get most of the jokes). I definitely recommend it, it's hilarious, not despite the weirdness but rather because of it

I also recently watched Bakuman, Ookami-san, Detroit Metal City and I'm currently watching Code Geass. The surprising thing about Bakuman was that it's the kind of show I wouldn't necessarily enjoy, but it was just so well done that I was sucked in. I'm also loving the Death Note vibe from Code Geass. Finally, DMC is one dirty, dirty show but damn it's funny...I think.

[BladeMaster]

I just recently got into anime thanks to Drone. I always loved japanese culture and would have loved to get into anime sooner, but ja.

Now that I know what I've been missing, I'm seriously ****ed at myself! I love it. I've watched Berserk, Golden Boy, some Bleach, some Hellsing and 3X3 Eyes. I'm hooked and I'm addicted...

Nope, according to lore he is the son of Dracula. If you look at the name Dracula and Alucard:

Alucard is Dracula but spelled backwards. Came from some old movie by the name of The Son of Dracula.

Wow!

So I've just finished watching the first season of Supernatural The Animation Dubbed.

My goodness! Ignore anything that anyone says bad about this anime. Go buy the first box set and help support for the second season! I was especially giddy in the last 2 eps when I heard the original Dean from the Live show voices his animated counterpart just like Sam. That just goes to show that hopefully more of the original cast will hopefully make it into the second season as well.

[EndKreator]

After hearing about it for quite some time , I finally got my hands on High School of The Dead and I'm looking forward to some zombie mayhem. Anyone else have anime in mind for the weekend?

[FreakKing]

I watched Lamune. :/ Waste of time, but it was still cute! And the ending of episode 11 shocked me. Stupid end, though.

I'm now watching Kuro****suji, or Black Butler to some. ;)
I love it so far!!!

After that I'm going to watch a recommendation from a good friend of mine, Hikaru no Go! Pretty good, so far (episode 3)! o.o

[Xperimance]

Been watching Karin lately, busy watching the final episode right now, I'm gonna be sooo sad when it's finished, it's such a lovely anime!

[Sir PaniCore]

Nope, according to lore he is the son of Dracula. If you look at the name Dracula and Alucard:

Dracula
Alucard

Alucard is Dracula but spelled backwards. Came from some old movie by the name of The Son of Dracula.

Well thats one of the theories.

The other Origin is that he was originally Vlad the impaler but after witnessing the death of his poeple he rejected God and drank the Blood of his soldiers, thus becoming the first Vampire and he then Adopted the name of Dracula, but after he was defeated by the Hellsing Family, he became their servant and was given the name of Alucard.

I think thats what it said in wikipedia :/

[Darranged]

Busy watching Cromartie High at the moment,and for an english dub,its actually done pretty damn well. Still weird as **** anime though.

[Scy7he]

Finally got around to watching a bit more anime. Finished watching one called

Kore wa Zombie Desuka?

I thought it was pretty good, but wouldve liked it to be longer with the Ayumu developing stronger relationships with the females.


Also i watched the first episode of Toriko

The animal names are pretty creative and Toriko's "ability" is pretty funny.

[Xperimance]

Started watching The World God Only Knows, My Ordinary Life and Battle Girls: Time Paradox

The World God Only Knows is about this geek who's been hired to put the souls of girls to rest, but the catch is that they must fall in love with him.

My Ordinary Life is kinda like Lucky Star and Cromartie High mixed together into one anime.

Battle Girls: Time Paradox is about this high school girl who is transported back into Sengoku Japan, the only catch is that all the warriors are female, but retain the same names as some of the legendary heroes, eg. Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc.

[umairaraza100]

well my favorite all the time is Neon Genesis Evangelion (TV) i like it so much

[FreakKing]

I just saw Ga-Rei: Zero... I just saw the first episode and I was left frozen during the credits (and a bit afterwards). The ending shocked me to the bone! All that went through my mind was "WTF?... WTF?... WTF?... WTF?...". That was a SERIOUSLY unexpected plot twist, and only in the first episode!
o.o
I'm scared.

I just saw Ga-Rei: Zero... I just saw the first episode and I was left frozen during the credits (and a bit afterwards). The ending shocked me to the bone! All that went through my mind was "WTF?... WTF?... WTF?... WTF?...". That was a SERIOUSLY unexpected plot twist, and only in the first episode!
o.o
I'm scared.

I'm now tempted to have a sneak peak with Ga Rei : Zero now , I have it but I'm currently on High School of the Dead instead. Sounds like its worth putting HSOTD on hold , yes?

[FreakKing]

I'm not spoiling anything to you, but no!
Finish High School of the Dead first! Awesome anime that!

Just to shake things up a bit again in this discussion: What is the best AMV (Anime Music Video, for those who didn't know) that you've seen so far?

Reveille - Bleed the sky AMV

Some of the best Animes. Is an old AMV though...

You guys need to check out AMV Hell (http://amvhell.com/index.php?pageid=amvhellseries):

the First 2 are just about 5-10 minutes long but the last 3 are full Hour and a half movies of the funniest AMV's I have ever seen in my life. Seriously these things are hilarious.

"I forgot the words....We going on a field trip, a field trip, a field trip, a field trip, a field trip, a field trip, a field trip..." :P

EDIT: Oh yeah, only download AMV hell 1-5 and the CE, don't go near AMV hell 0 and /0 since that contains freaky hentai **** :/

I just finished watching FLCL which I loved, seriously it's only 6 episodes long and it was awesome I recommend it to everyone. I also recommend watching it in english since it has an awesome dub.

Currently watching Soul eater which is quite an average shounen show.

Edit: Oh and FLCL is the name of the show, it isn't an abbreviation (or accronym?).

[KaosLord]

Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
I've only seen till episode 10 but it seems to only go up to 12.
I hope there's a second season cause that's some good ****.

[Incognito]

I've also watched all the AMV Hell! I Love it almost as much as Sanity Not Included! Except for AMV Hell 0.... that was just super disgusting.

Anyway I finally watched Soul Eater after my one friend nagged me to. Man am I glad he did! I freaking love Blackstar! I also like Death the Kid but I can't seem to like Maka. I like Soul though, he's cool :P

Also started to watch another few animes in my free time: I freaking loved New Fist of the North Star! YATATATATATATATATATATAT-WATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! sorry (ahem).... also started to watch Hero Tales, Its kinda meh but it's from the same people who made FMA and Soul Eater so it's definitely better than some anime out there.

Wow, I just watched the first episode of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. That show is HILARIOUS and AWESOME. It's kind of like a seinen PowerPuff Girls on steroids.

Although for this show, I recommend that you leave your decency behind or you won't find it funny.

I've started watching an anime series called Black Lagoon. I've only watched one episode so far and I'm not sure what to make of it.

Anyone watched it? Is it good? Should I stick in there? I'll watch some more episodes and get a more informed opinion then post what I think...

Also if you like the word Black in the title of an anime watch Darker than Black. It's just freaking awesome!

Just finished watching soul eater... yeah it was pretty average but it did have some good moments in it.

Lolno.
Second season of Black Lagoon is way better,especially since it starts when Hansel and Gretel show up.

[Xperimance]

That's true. It's freaky to see little children with a flippin machine gun slaughter a whole bunch of gangsters like that!

[FreakKing]

:?
Personally, I thought the Hansel and Gretel was the best part of both Black Lagoon seasons. But overall the first season was better. Or rather the second season just felt a bit boring/predictable.
<scratches head>
I can't remember so well anymore.
<goes and checks my previous posts on it>
Ahhhh... Seems I remember correctly.

I have to say my favorite anime is somewhere in a battle between Fullmetal Alchemist and Darker Than Black.

[Jodez]

Been watching one of the newer animes called Steins;gate and so far its pretty awesome, its all about time travel and conspiracies and an evil organization that rules the world from the shadows etc and a main character thats a self proclamed insane mad scientist but yeah its a pretty cool anime albeit a tad bit confusing at times, definately one of the better animes this season

[FreakKing]

I rewatched the last 5 episodes of Gundam 00 Second Season in just to recap so I can watch the movie Awakening of the Trailblazer...

Wow! Absolutely amazing! Gundam sure know's how to keep me on the edge of my seat! O.O
I loved it! The panic I feel is incredible, it's so believable. It's a must-see if you like mecha anime!

Dude I love all the Gundam anime. Besides Code Geas and, if want to call it mech, Evagelion these are the only decent mech anime imo.

Anyway started to watch He is my Master until my order arrives. It's a good laugh and funny as ****.(especially the alligator)

The anime I'm waiting for and watching next are: Martian Successor Nadesico; Those who hunt Elves and Sorcerer Hunters. Has anyone here watched any of these and what's your opinion on them? With as little spoilers as you can please ;)

Now that is some kick-ass ****.

Martian Successor Nadesico

This show is just hilarious , I was a little sceptical at first about watching it subbed and (had the option of Dub) actually enjoyed the hell out of it. That's all I'm going to say.


I recently wrapped up the first 26 episodes of D.Gray Man and the concepts of the Millenium Earl and the Noah Clan blow my mind. I need more , and I need a life , but most importantly I need more D.Gray Man

I just saw Ga-Rei: Zero... I just saw the first episode and I was left frozen during the credits (and a bit afterwards). The ending shocked me to the bone! All that went through my mind was "WTF?... WTF?... WTF?... WTF?...". That was a SERIOUSLY unexpected plot twist, and only in the first episode!

This reaction to the power of 9000. Did not see it coming. It left me wanting more.

For those who don't know: Steins;Gate is a story created by the same person who made Chaos;Head. I've seen only 3 episodes of Steins;Gate and it's pretty awesome! It has the same feel as Chaos;Head, but I think this will be a tad more fun to watch! So if you liked the one, you will most likely love the other.


This reaction to the power of 9000. Did not see it coming. It left me wanting more.

Ahaha... :D
I watched it completely. It was pretty good! Since Ga-Rei: Zero was a prequel (hence the "Zero" in the title), I'm reading the manga now.

[7sins]

naruto FTW!!!. i have been watching hellsing anime but its missing the elements than made me love the manga. its missing EXTREME GORE!!! where did the world go wrong?!

[Stushla]

Deathnote. Or maybe Fullemtal Alchemist (the manga following not the first one). Both really brilliant and ended amazingly. I used to watch Naruto, Bleach and One Piece but it gets a bit much at episode 300...

What I thought about it. (http://www.nag.co.za/forums/showthread.php?4874-Favourite-Anim%E9-Show&p=317026&viewfull=1#post317026) Worth a watch!

[Xperimance]

Anyone seen The World God Only Knows?

[FreakKing]

I finished an anime called Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai (My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute), or just Ore no Imouto for short.
I enjoyed it a lot!
It has one of my favourite intro songs currently, and I love how the intro changes a bit in the middle depending on the episode (it seems the occurance of different intro's are getting more and more common ever since Bakemonogatari). Even every ending theme is different!
It's definitely a worthy comedy, and it has become one of my favourites! Quite entertaining. 8.5/10!
Oh, and the bonus episodes are also worth watching!


Anyone seen The World God Only Knows?

Yes.

[Incognito]

So I watched Martian Successor Nadesico. While it had it's laugh out load moments at the end of the day it just felt incredibly stupid. Going to watch Those Who Hunt Elves next. I've been in the mood for some retro anime lately maybe I'll give Outlaw Star another watch too while I'm at it.

[Xperimance]

Going to start watching Deadman Wonderland. Heard some good things about it. Opinions?

[Xperimance]

Awesome show! Must watch! The art style reminds me of Eureka Seven...

[JohnnyRocket]

I highly recommend Monster. It's a thrilling, long series (following very closely to the manga) about a Japanese surgeon living and working Germany, who falls into a plot involving a serial killer. I didn't reach the end, but I don't think you'll find any energy beams here, it's quite realistic and down-to-earth/grounded.

[Sir PaniCore]

Just finished Angel beats and I absolutely loved it. The show had was funny as **** The jet engines under the seats had me in stitches and it was especially a feel good and heart tugging anime the part where Hinata tells Yui that he would marry her despite her paralysis had me on the edge of tears... and it usually takes something especially emotional to do that :(
All the characters are especially loveable and this is anime has some of the best visuals I have ever seen.

My only gripe is that some parts seemed to be rushed out. This Anime feels that it should at least be 26 episodes instead of the 13.

Overall 9/10 for me :P

[Incognito]

Started to watch Deadman Wonderland. Goodness gracious it's an awesome anime. And yes it is strange, it does feel like watching Eureka 7 for some odd reason.

Anyway, I started to watch Gundam 00 again but this time dubbed. Now I know what everyone's thinking but it's actually really good! Like, Trigun dubbed good. It's way better than the FMA Brotherhood dubbed episodes. Most of the voice actors I don't recognise (no Steven Blum :D.... yet) and they really sound believeable!

[CyniKill]

I don't understand people's problems with dubbed anime. I've yet to hear a bad one (granted, I haven't actually watched that many) and it's really annoying hearing so many people whine about it. I don't mind subtitles, but if there's dubbed, I will always choose that.

I'm more into manga than anime lately since it's a bit hard for me to get my hands on anime. I've read all of Fairy Tail, Air Gear, Witch Hunter, The Breaker: New Waves, Aflame Inferno and Beelzebub so far (and reading new issues when they're released). Finished The Breaker and Veritas (both Korean), and probably a couple others. Busy reading Good Ending, XBlade, The World God Only Knows Sket Dance and I'm not sure what else. This is all in the last 3 months or so. I feel like such an addict. :P

[Jodez]

Hows The Breaker? is it good

You sound like my sister. :) She read about the same manga's as those recently.


Hows The Breaker? is it good

I only read one chapter then got lost in Dengeki Daisy. The Breaker is good. Amazingly well drawn! And my sister loved it.

[Incognito]

I've discovered a neat little anime called Ao no Exorcist. Watched the first episode and liked it. Will watch the rest to see if it can keep my interest.

[CyniKill]

Hows The Breaker? is it good

It gets really good once the main character gets through his whole emo phase. So after about 10 chapters you'll start enjoying it more. What I love the most (besides the action) is the progression of the main character. It isn't like most mangas where the main character basically just gets stronger as it progresses. He actually grows in character.

So yeah, check it out. :P

[Sir PaniCore]

currently watching GETBACKERS and its quite a cool Anime with Ban being an especially cool character.
