The Anime Thread

Watched grenadier lately, which I didn't quite love, tho it's not horrible either. Also saw the DearS series, which is kinda funneh imo. Tho already waiting for the next Bleach episode to be hosted Bleach is really nice imo
Also seen a few episodes of Sunabouzu, which is nice too Ghost in the shell 2 wasn't quite as good as the first one imo, tho it's got some nice parts in it... Enjoyed cowboy bebop/trigun/love hina and some more, but that's been a while :x Bough the Devil Lady series on dvd, not knowing what to expect, and it kinda sucks... Got the first dvd of Fighting Spirit, which was really good, but I'm broke atm so can't get the next episodes, and haven't found em on the net /cry
Oh, and I liked Neon Genesis Evangelion quite a bit too, a while back

Try searching for it under it's original title of "Hajime no Ippo", you'll probably have better results

Sunabouzu rocks, just it gets fansubbed so slow :< just like kerero gunso, which doesn't get subbed at all it feels like since it's so sloooow x<

Yeah, only got the first 5 episodes of Sunabazou x<
I'll have a look for Hajime later, ta for that, really liked the first couple episodes

 

[Straef]

Doh, second and third dvd both got 1 seed and 0 downloaders xD Guess that won't be capped speed -.-

 

[Straef]

Animes i'm currently watching....
Girls Bravo

Haven't even gotten to watching on those, been downloading for ages but it's worst possible speed... and in a 2 gig file :<

 

[Bubble]

Straef you can also get the episodes from #Lunaranime on rizon (they fansubbed it, and they have Fast xdcc bots)
But i think its been licenced (or was that only season 2)

So you might have a bit of a search on your hands

 

[Chrystina]

hah, I'm back in action

just started watching Fullmetal Alchemist ... wicked series ... time to get all 51 episodes me thinks ...

 

[Bubble]

I gotta finish watching that series
got to around 22 and then they licenced it.

Only got the first season x<

It's only 1 season One long 51 episode season of uberness, FMA being one of the best animes of last year.. Surprised me I must say, a series comes out of nowhere and when the first episode aired it was said it had a scheduled 51 episode run oO (the manga isn't particularily long either). First few episodes I felt were only so-so and since I was pretty busy at the time I dropped it ;x Later, after hearing others raving about it I got caught up and stayed with it til the end.

Whilst I won't ruin anything for people, I'll just say, it's a fantastic series, wonderfully structured - after the initial episodes which were imo rather decidedly average shounen kind of fair tho with high production quality - every episode leaves you eager to see the next to find out what's happening/going to happen next. There's a lot of mysteries and unexpected twists...

It's also a very accessible anime to newcomers, since it's not full of fanservice (as is more the norm these days) nor is there anything *too* weird in it (anyone who watches anime a lot knows what sorts of things I mean )... well aside from the whole alchemy itself I guess, but I think most people can manage that degree of suspension of disbelief..

Anyway, yes, everyone should watch it, damn fine series and highly recommended

pffft

Fanservice > all
Spoiler#####

I guess that episode where you see Scar kill that girl is a example of twists in anime

 

[Straef]

Bah, don't even have the 1st season then Just got 13 eps -.-

Fansevice \o/ But it can scare of new people to anime giving the impression of anime being just cartoon pr0n

**** More Spoilers ****
Indeed that part was probably the first major unexpected bit, but there were more bigger (and sadder) bits after too

 

[Bubble]

pff theres a Massive line between Fanservice and Hentai
(well there used to be untill i saw the first episode of Girls Bravo Seasons2 )

FMA is a damm good anime, now that i have a 2mb line i'll finish downloading the rest (i downloaded 1 to 22, and 49 to 51 cus i wanted to see how it ended yeah i didn't know half the people and it just confused me)

Any idea when the FMA movie is being released?

Gah how could you do that?!
The ending can't possibly make the slightest bit of sense after skipping so much Ending is very good.. IF you've actually watched the rest Hmm thought you had atleast seen past 22, you've missed most of the really cool stuff too! And *that* incident also...

Don't think there's a set date for it yet, but think summerish 2005.. can view a very short trailer at http://www.hagaren-movie.jp/top.html

Watched some episodes of 'Yakitate Japan' and that's some weird shit tbh :I Kinda funny sometimes, but I wonder who came up with the idea of creating an anime series about... bread
Also watching the first episode of Elfen Lied atm, which made me giggle The explanation about the word 'onigiri' just popped up, which made me want to spam :> So you're a riceball xD

'Don't fucking stand behind me, stupid bitch' That's comedy

lol, indeed I am a riceball! If you want to know *why* I chose to be a riceball, you can watch Fruits Basket to find out (it'll also explain the Umeboshi part)

Elfen Lied is very good, I was pleasantly surprised by it when I watched since normally so much blood puts me off, but I guess the cute elements helped balance that

 

[SoulFly]

Onigiri also means a squeezed fist.

Oni Giri - means Demon Edge(Slash/Sword)

Pretty cool eh?


Malevs a Riceball tho, since prydwen.net database has been wiped i can't prove the pervert wrong atm

Riceball with pieces of fish innit! :>
Yer, watched about 10 episodes now and liking it quite a bit

Umeboshi: dried plum... so that would be a raisin? Guess I need to watch the anime to get that one lol ^^

 

[Bubble]

I could tell you what he means by that
Specialy with Umeboshi as his last(Back ) name

but that would spoil the anime
Fruits Basket is one of my favs

 

[Straef]

Never heard of it, but should be good if both of you recommend it...

Its a fluffy anime, almost no action but the story is good.
Healu watched the series last week and was really upset when it ended
