As someone who only ever watched CCS, can someone explain what tsubasa chronicles is supposed to be?

I heard it's wacky as hell with different universes mixed in and stuff. Is that true?
It's CCS meets Kingdom Hearts.
 
Its amazing how many things in anime I have overlooked that this forum has pointed out. Some of it I dont even remember.
Like the series Ai Yori Aoshi. I love it to death. One of my favorites ever. I'm sure GAF would tear it to shreds.

We aren't pessimists that look for bad things. Some criticism I can't even comprehend. I mean I can kind of understand some of it in retrospect, but it's stuff that doesn't even cross my mind until someone mentions it. One of the reasons I like to go into stuff that interests me blind.
 
wat. I'm guessing it's utter shit?

Imagine that it started out as this love story, sorta, between Syaoran and Sakura . . . and somewhere along the way stuff happens for no reason and you're like wut and things are happening but you don't know what's going on and then it just kinda ends and you're like, what happened?

So yeah, CCS + Kingdom Hearts.
 
Is anyone else a closet otaku irl? I'm not ashamed of it as a hobby, but if my friends find out, i'm in for some societal consequences. And will probably labelled as "that guy" among my closeknit group of friends.

I need to find new friends.

I played Ar Tonelico in front of my roommate's female friends. What do you think?

Well, the story is nearly as convoluted as the story of KH.

Maybe moreso.

Art is good though (again, just like KH).

im not big on shounen but One Piece is one of my favourite shows
probably because its so fresh in comparison to everything else

You don't even need to like anime for one piece, I know those that hate anime but love one peice.

But I don't wanna miss sell it to him cause one piece doesn't appeal to everyone some may find it disappointing it doesn’t take place in highschool,theres no love triangles,harem or lolis falling over for panty shots.

It is on "the list". I'll get to watching it some day.

Move it up that list....yes higher right at the top.

Never to late to jump in.

I almost want to watch it from that description, but i'd rather not stomp on my childhood I think.

I wouldn't have the courage to do that, so all the more power to you. :|


And damn, dat clamp art. The proportions are just as fucked up as ever.

Actually I think its also the fact that the main cast isnt a bunch of tweens

Yeah its kind of....Clamp but its fun clamp.
I have both seasons.
Its kind of a huge adventure storywhere the hero has to save the hngggh by restoring her soul by finding parts of her memories.
Thats pretty much the most sensical way to describe it.
 
Hunter x Hunter (2011) 1:
Well, it was a good first episode. I'm not huge on them skipping over Kite (although I'm sure we'll get that eventually), but I'm glad that all the filler from the first couple of episodes from the original series was cut out. The art style will take some time to get used to, though.

Just to elaborate, I consider myself a geek and not an otaku. In reality I suppose they can be considered the same thing.

As for being a "closet geek", I'd say no. I don't hide it and at the same time I don't go out of my way to promote it.
 
Oh, the TRC anime is pure shit. It's only good for the Kajiura soundtrack.

The manga is worth a read if only for the art.
 
Sailor Moon - 11

God damn, this episode has the creepiest monster. Even the transformation sequence is creepy, dolls are creepy. Though I bring this episode up for another reason other than the creepy doll (so creepy god damn fucking dolls man), it's the first episode where the 3 Sailors fight together which is rather neat.

Get off that Panda driven train Krillin and get out of this show.
 
If there was a kingdom of wrong you would be the supreme chancellor.
Let me paraphrase the entire TRC anime.

Syaoran: "Sakura..."
Sakura: "Syaoran..."

Syaoran and Sakura stare lovingly into each others' eyes while Mokona does some silly stuff in the background.

Swap Syaoran out with Tomoyo and I'd be so down for that. Girl got robbed.
 
It's kind of sad that in an infinite number of universes with a potentially infinite number of Tomoyos, every one of them loses out to Suzaku Syaoran.

The Mokona stuff was entertaining at least. There was also guest stars by those two other people as well.

This shit is bananas.

That classy opening, shades of Yoiko right there. Only disappointment is that there is no narrator this time around.
 
Bakemonogatari 12

Satisfying ending which brought the series full circle in a glorious and tender fashion. From the opening (
meat rising in slow-motion - "Let's go on a date" - meat falling in slow-motion
) to the ending against the backdrop of stars, I loved it. Senjougahara and Araragi's romantic relationship is shockingly believable (within the world constructed here, of course). They're so well suited for each other.
Disappointed that Shaft skimped out on the kiss, but I'll take what I can get.

K-ON! 12

As the best parts of this series do, this episode made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Mixed together a little light drama, an affirmation of the value of friendship, exciting concert performances, and of course plenty of great-looking animation for a strong ending.

----

Although there are some extra episodes of both shows left to watch, these are the finales for all extents and purposes so I'll proceed to sum up my feelings about this double watch. Both shows have too many problems to be considered great, but they are both good. They each have their own weaknesses and strengths, and are enjoyable for their own reasons. I don't feel like I wasted my time with either one of them.
 
Sket Dance 1:
Well, that was great. I had read the first volume of the manga awhile back, so I knew how it turned out, but it was executed very well. There were so many laugh out loud moments, and the series style translated to anime really well. I need to get back to reading the manga and watch more of this pronto.
