an illegal amount of yamadas

edit:


i don't have an issue with slow shows

Damn, that's too much Yamada.

Spoiler

In a good way

There's always Sengoku Basara. There's only like three women in the entire series.

Well, there's more like four. The femme fatale gunner, the housewife, the booby ninja and the one that does nothing but apologize.

The games only add the token loli, which got like a cameo at the end of the first series, and a schoolgirl miko archer and another gunner which I don't think shows up in the movie.

Fantastic, I'll watch it this week. Thanks for the info.

Btw, has Guilty Crown gotten any better, or is the main character still a giant shitlord?

Its still bad. but it has moe, and moe is no good.

 

[dimb]

It got worse.

Every time it looks like Shu will turn into Simon from TTGL, he doesn't

Gurren Lagann - 11

*fistpump*

*cries tears of joy*

I'm so happy right now.

 

[Instro]

Has there been anything as awesomely hot blooded as Gurren Lagann since...Gurren Lagann?

No moe would be a nice plus.

(only newer anime, please. I already have a laundry list of old super robot anime I need to watch through, I don't need to add to that list)

Maybe Panty And Stocking with Garterbelt? ...Redline is pretty ott, you could try that. Or maybe Toriko. Enma-kun kind of had that same vibe, but I thought the show was pretty boring and unfunny.

If you just want some manly anime the Golgo 13 anime from a couple years ago is about as manly as you can get, but not hot-blooded.

maybe he will now that

Gai THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND is finally dead.

 

[Hellsing321]

Can you really say its letting you down when Guilty Crown was never good in the first place?

The really depressing thing about your post is that I've watched all of this already (besides Toriko and Enma-kun, which were already recommended)

I love the premise, and I enjoy the music. The promo art seemed good, too.

I dunno
Kaiji could be a good pick
but it has a lot of men crying

Is it manly crying?

 

[Steroyd]

Is it manly crying?

Manly crying of utter despair. Zawa zawa.

 

[thetrin]

Manly crying of utter despair. Zawa zawa.

I can get down with that. I'll check it out.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Is it manly crying?

Very manly crying. High-stakes gambling. Practically no females. Should be up your alley.

 

[thetrin]

I love females in anime. I just don't want them to be retarded moe tropes. Females who act like females in real life are super cool.

My issue with moe is that every female is hypersexualized in one form or the other, and serve very little purpose other than to give the viewer a boner. Now, I'm not against boners, but it would be nice to see some strong, empowered females in anime once in a while, instead of being totally helpless and criminally stupid.

TTGL's Yoko is hypersexualized to a ridiculous degree, but at least she remains a strong, empowered female despite the fact that she fights wars in a bra and panties.

Hellsing Ultimate is also very hot blooded, very over the top and very manly. It's also very stupid, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. In fact, it most certainly makes it better. But yeah, Redline is a good pick I guess.

That's not what "moe" is.

 

[Geneijin]

But TTGL is chock full of moe crap too. Where's the line get drawn?

It has moe characters, but the amount of moe is very little really.

 

[darkside31337]

Sentai Filmworks announced on Monday that it licensed the television anime adaptation of Yukito Ayatsuji's Another horror novel. The company will release the series digitally "through multiple outlets" and will then release it on DVD and Blu-ray later this year. Crunchyroll is currently streaming the series as it airs in Japan.

oh good

this is not kaiji! dont listen to the lies!

 

[thetrin]

oh good

I'm only human.

That's not what "moe" is.

I didn't say that's what defined moe. I just find that that's the byproduct of moe.

 

[Geneijin]

It isn't a byproduct of moe at all. What you've described is a fanservice character, not a moe character.

 

[Articalys]

So, here is a proper list of all shows from this season so far that have been picked up for disc release:

Licensed by Sentai
Zero no Tsukaima F
Moeretsu Pirates
Ano Natsu de Matteru
Another
Inu x Boku SS

Licensed by NISA
Natsume Yuujinchou Shi
Brave 10

All of which are of course also being simulcast, and none of which are past their second episode.

 

[dimb]

Sure, but Nia is still going to be Nia.

 

[Ezalc]

Rinne no Lagrange 1&2
I like this, there's a hot blonde, a good OP, dem hips, and that alien part was pretty funny. I'll keep watching for now

Innuendo the show: EVOL is just LOVE bakwards 1, 2, & 3
So this is basically; G Gundam + Aria + Fanservice. That can only means that I'll totally be checking this show out. Dat fang girl, Andy is a bro, and I wish I would start flying when I get a boner that would mean I'd never have to walk again. wouldn't have to pay outrageous gas prices for my car.

Captain Harlock only with less Harlock and more little girls 1&2
Fun show, don't understand the hate the first ep got sure it had no action in it but I thought it was interesting to learn a bit about the world and etc.

Thetrin if you want a strong female character watch Moribito guardian of the wind or something like that I forgot the name exactly but it's pretty awesome.

 

[Lafiel]

I didn't say that's what defined moe. I just find that that's the byproduct of moe.

Nah, what you describe is the sexualization of anime characters, which isn't really the same thing at all. Moe actually started as a reaction to that kind of thing, except it went so far that it became a form of pandering in itself.

Well you can't expect people who hate something to know what it actually is, that's just unreasonable.

It doesn't help that moe is such an amorphous concept.

Which of these shows are Aniplex? We can already write off BD releases for all of those.

 

[icecream]

But I'm there

Well in that case, I'll try... ^^;

Ano Natsu de Matteru 1

This is anime.

Yes, yes it is.

Spoiler

Assuming you aren't being sarcastic

 

[survivor]

I can get down with that. I'll check it out.

Yeah I second the recommendation of Kaiji anime. You will become a better man when you finish it. It's very manly anime that avoids a lot of anime bullshit tropes.

 

[cajunator]

Have you watched Twelve Kingdoms? If not, you need to.

And moe = hnnng, fanservice = fap. Do not confuse the two.

 

[Uchip]

And moe = hnnng, fanservice = fap. Do not confuse the two.

and yet 99% of the shrines, waifus and body pillows are moe characters
on average more people probably fap to moe

 

[Dresden]

 

[e_i]

Girl Bravo Finished.

"Great, I'm catnip for lesbians."
This show also has the most annoying loli EVER.
Needed less Fukuyama.

I also finished Popotan. Cute series...but some heavy subject matter.

Another ep 2

Eyepatch. Eyepatch. Eyepatch. Fuck!
It's been licensed by Sentai for Blu-ray release. Can't wait for the lossless audio to kick me in the nuts.

Nisemonogatari ep 2

Nadeko is a slut. Karen is awesome. Kanbaru is fucking nuts.

Moretsu Pirates ep 2

What? Did something happen?

 

[Risette]

He's right. Spirited Away is a snoozefest.

 

[NewFresh]

and yet 99% of the shrines, waifus and body pillows are moe characters
on average more people probably fap to moe

But...everything is a form of moe to someone.

It doesn't have to be "someone", it could be an "something"

 

[Lafiel]

and yet 99% of the shrines, waifus and body pillows are moe characters
on average more people probably fap to moe

But unlike non-moe characters they actually feel guilty about it afterwards...

why would you feel guilty about having sex with someone you love!?

With exaggerated figures perpetuated like that, it's no wonder the misconception persists.

This. I dont see myself fancying cockroaches or cute cars.
But I find some of them "moe". Maybe I just have a bizarre definition of what I consider it.

 

[cajunator]

:cajun = :ihaveaboner

no. :Cajun is more like "dawwww.

This is how all the pedo accusational bullshit gets thrown around.

but we all knew what thetrin meant, yet still jumped on his definitions like a pack of rabid k-on fanboys
he just wanted hot blooded animu
