Anime/Manga Discussion

I've never actually seen all of Gurren Lagann. I know this makes me some kind of heathen. With that said, you should watch it first as it's pretty spectacular and came first.

However, don't sleep on Kill La Kill. Yes, it's not a perfect show, but it captures that ridiculous B-movie grindhouse style perfectly. It's comparable to something like No More Heroes, or Kill Bill: Violent, stylish, makes you a bit uncomfortable at times, but a complete roller coaster ride all the way through.

I'm actually watching FMA Brotherhood right now because I loved the manga in middle school. Very good show.

Also, anyone asking for recommendations, I will always recommend Baccano! and Steins;Gate as they're both incredible. Watch the dubbed version of Baccano if you can as it's objectively incredible, and personally I adore the Steins;Gate dub and like it over subbed.

Oh, and if anyone's looking for some cute romance that deals with some surprisingly serious issues, watch Kokoro Connect. The main character is a wrestling fan who has an Undertaker poster, if that influences your decision any. It's another one of my favorite shows and no one watched it.

I'll keep those in mind, thanks Doc. And if you're in to fan comics check out "Bleach: Happy to serve you" on Deviantart. That's easily the funniest comic ever. And the art is pimpin'.
 
Barbossa you need to see the Behind the scenes for the latest cooler movie. Apparently the best description for the movie is "fuck this movie"

It is a bit disappointing to see so many faults pointed out in what is to my mind one of the better movies in terms of looks and potential, although you could say that most of the movies are untapped potential.

I mean Janemba, Broli and Metal Cooler are great villains.
 
The movie did have loads of potential compared to others. But like the video points out, it has more plotholes than anything else in the series.

And Worlds Strongest really is awesome too.
 
Get a better secondary story in there - basically a better fight for Piccolo and Gohan (the usual gimmicky subordinates perhaps, or just have Piccolo face a Metal Cooler as he is as powerful as Goku and Vegeta at this stage) while the Cyclobots could be left to face off with Krillen and co - and transport the story to Earth and you rid yourself of most of the problems.
 
So that new anime about the terrorists blowing shit up in Tokyo actually looks really good (from the first episode) it's called "Zankyou no Terror" check it out :D
 
I fell for my standard routine. I start to watch an Anime series, I get a few episodes in. I then go and search it on google, go to the wikipedia page, spoil it for myself. Not be able to watch the series for a few weeks until I forget the story that I didn't see in detail.

Was watching Kokoro Connect because I saw a thing on youtube that made it seem funny. Its not bad I just do my usual.

Kokoro Connect really is fantastic so that's really a shame. My friend does that a lot - I've come to realize to never google anything until I've completed a show or game.
 
Sword Art Online II episode 2 was way better than the pilot. Finally got to see some gameplay from GGO and it's pretty interesting. Sinon is a very likeable character and I look forward to seeing what else her role is in the series. If you're not watching this series yet, get on it!
 
Quick note for anyone who hasn't seen it before: Watch Ouran Highschool Host Club because it is the best thing ever. Don't question it. Don't even look up info on it. Just watch the first episode and then watch all the others and then watch them again 6 times over.
 
Holy fuck. Anyone seen the latest SAO?

If you ever needed a reason to believe guns are bad, this is it.

I've seen it. What a backstory for Asada huh? That was pretty sad. Hopefully we see some action soon. It's just starting to get good.
 
I already knew the backstory, but Jesus did they make it graphic. 4 shots and the still didn't go down.

I'll concede that I watched it and absolutely loved it. I think I lost my masculinity sometime during the process. Only had one bad episode IMO, the Alice in Wonderland. All the rest were quite excellent!

Geez I'm gonna regret admitting this...
 
So SAO II.

Kirito just got a hold of Mace Windu's lightsaber. Right down to the fucking sound effects. That's hilarious.
 
Not touching SAO until it gets further along. Same with AOT. I'm currently making my way through 5 different series, with Yu Yu Hakusho likely taking the longest to finish. After that I'll probably start Slayers.

What is AOT? I don't know of any current anime that have that acronym.

I liked the SAO episode, but I swear if this leads to another girl falling for him because Kirito I'm gonna quit watching in a heartbeat

Attack On Titan I believe. No second season announced yet, but it's inconclusive right now.

It's nowhere near as insane as his sister/cousin. The light novels barely imply it.
 
My thoughts on episode 4 of SAO II.
Why does Kirito resemble a girl in GGO?! But anyway very interesting that they'd give Kirito what's basically a light saber for a weapon. He'll probably end up revolutionizing how to play GGO. In the end, everyone will want to use swords. SAO II has definitely started out slow and I hope it picks up soon. Very enjoyable episode though. I liked seeing what kind of weapons were available in the game.
 
The idea behind the odd avatar is him being still pretty skinny and unfit due to the 2 years on SAO so they just gave him the closest thing.

It's not anime, but anyone heard the news on Legend of Korra? Nickelodeon simply pulled it to exclusively online with no warning due to it doing far better numbers online.

Ahhhhhhh thanks that makes sense, I've only seen it abbreviated as SNK. That'll get it's second season, even though it made me extremely angry it did sell like a motherfucker.

That cousin stuff was baaaaaaaaaaad, but at least there was a feeling of her knowing that it was not on - just accidentally falling for him over the internet and it pushing her over the edge. That's got an actual character arc to it not like "Oh Kirito helped me find my pet/gather a mineral for three days so now I'm insanely in love with him because the writer didn't understand how relationships work when he wrote it" stupid harems....

Did you read the light novels? The two reasons I'm watching it are because people on my facebook keep insisting this arc is amazing and JAM loves SAO so I thought I may as well watch too :p
 
I've read up on them but not actually read them. It makes sense how ridiculous the second arc was given it was supposed to just be one volume. The other two stories make sense too given he was a pretty normal guy in a military-minded death game. So it makes sense the other girls went nuts for him when they met him in-game.
 
Don't read the light novels unless you want to laugh at the worst-written sex scene not in a hentai.

Hint: The word "glopping" is actually used.

Also, Sailor Moon Crystal, guys. It's so so so good.

Oh I've seen that scene before, and now I cannot unsee that scene.
 
Just finished watching all three episodes of Zankyou no Terror. It's definitely like Death Note and I have no problems with that. It sort of looks like an old cartoon though. I was hoping it's production was better than this but I guess they were going for the "old cartoon" feel. There's nothing to dislike about this anime so far. You should all check it out!
