Winter 2012 Anime Thread of Roundcats Up in This

Not open for further replies.
Good start, already made myself look like an idiot. I for some reason thought that was the episode title.

I'm sure your top 10 list did enough damage anyway.

But realistically don't sweat about it. AnimeGAF have consistently been very accepting throughout the years and you'll be more than welcome in to the loose fellowship via commentary and personality through time.
 
You're a fool if you think you need to love someone to have sex with them. Many times after breaking up or being cheated on by someone I've seen girls go for the first guy they see. They may not love the person, they may do it out of shock thus making a bad decision like
Kotohana, but that does not mean it's not consensual. This explains why Kotohana did that, she clearly didn't mind Taisuke doing that to her. Maybe she wanted sex with someone to imagine they were Makoto, she was obsessed after all. I think you need to stop mistaking a bad decision for nonconsensual.

I guess what I was trying to get at is that consent is a reaction of some kind, she didn't react to anything at all and he took it the wrong way, simple as.
 
I'm 21 too. I just can't stand older animes. ^^

You and me junior, we can get along.

Since top 10 is now trending I decided I might as well share my glory with the rest of you folks since I don't think I ever have.

1. Touch
2. Honey and Clover
3. Gankutsuou
4. Monster
5. Mushishi
6. Code Geass
7. Tatami Galaxy
8. Cross Game
9. Madoka
10. Toward the Terra

Also, putting Touch #1 on there kinda invalidates your first sentence since Touch is old as fuck.

I know you said you liked but I didn't realise you liked it that much, especially considering all the other space opera out there.
 
Man, I really am quite the failure. I couldn't even make a top ten. Maybe I just chose ten titles, and I don't include any movies, and I don't rank anything.

Maybe then.
 
High School D x D 01
I uh...what? I guess I should have read the synopsis before watching this. I'll bring some scented candles and body lotion next time.

Everything here is really crude. There were actually some decent cuts and repeating motifs that I was okay with but otherwise it seems like all of the time and effort of the staff went in to the fanservice, which felt unusually vulgar, even for a show like this.
 
I've never posted in the anime thread before, but I figured this was the right place.

I just finished the first season and the OAVs of Darker than Black, and I'm surprised I'd never heard of it before I saw it on Funi's website, because it's one of the better shows I've seen in a while.
The 2-part episode format was a double edged sword in that it did a really good job of developing side characters
before killing them off, sending them away, making them disappear into thin air, or revealing they were already dead.
But Hei is a boss so it's all good.

It's not an instant classic or anything, but I'd definitely put it in the "pretty damn good" category. And it manages to remind me of better shows like Bebop or GITS:SAC without being a crappy ripoff.

Now it's time to watch the second season and hope it's not crap.
I'm prepared for the worst

I feel bad for you. By all reckoning Darker than Black should be a great title - The protagonist spends most of his time looking cool and not really talking - which means he doesn't make annoying speeches. On top of that there's lots of excellent fight sequences with great choreography.

Yet, something went wrong. Horribly wrong. On one hand you have the plot, which is needlessly complicated, then more importantly you have the change in protagonist - to a little girl. It's wasn't even a subtle attempt to court the otaku market - it was a brazen ploy to get them interested in the franchise.
 
Edit fail.
Do it. Do iiiiit!

Let's roll then. As I've seen over 400 anime titles I feel that I can't restrain myself to ten. I'm trying to avoid the recency bias as well. I'm not really sure what my own criteria for choosing a list would be, but I try to think of titles that I'd always want to keep in my collection.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes (Technically an OVA series, but whatever)
Master Keaton
Cowboy Bebop
Evangelion
Anne of Green Gables
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Blasphemous thought - maybe Moribito is superior?)
Mushishi
Monster
Gankutsuou
Mononoke
Planetes
Gurren Lagann
Patlabor TV
Gintama
Urusei Yatsura
Turn A Gundam
Rose of Versailles
Berserk
 
I know you said you liked but I didn't realise you liked it that much, especially considering all the other space opera out there.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes would technically be in my top 10 but I kept it to anime series only, shrug. After that though Terra is definitely my favorite of that genre.

I don't think we can be nakama anymore :'(

Am I think am just going to pretend it's another one of your jokes.

Holy fuck 400 animes and you've been watching anime for something like 5 years (you said that not long ago) I've been watching anime for like 18 years and I haven't seen any where near that much.

I would like to think I seen about 100.
 
Adachi bro~~~

Also, putting Touch #1 on there kinda invalidates your first sentence since Touch is old as fuck.

It's okay though because Adachi works transcends the nature of time. Most shit from the 80s is garbage just like most shit from any other decade. I just don't like people parading around acting like the 80s (or 90s) were the glory days of anime that did no wrong.

I too have watched 400+ anime, it's not easy to narrow it down to 10. I narrowed it down to the 10 I enjoyed the most and considered the best on my first watch through, some of them aren't exactly the stuff of multiple viewings for various reasons.
 

Hito lets people do it to themselves. He just shows them them where to go, he doesn't force them to sit down and watch it all!

You really can't expect another show as good as Nadesico. That was made during the golden age.
...........................................
Has Jex voted in that 2011 Top 10 thread yet?

Yes.
 
Crest is miles better than To Terra though. Unless you don't count Seikai as space opera.
I don't know how it wouldn't count. It has a tighter focus on a very small number of characters than most space opera, but it's still pretty clearly in that genre.
 
Crest is miles better than To Terra though. Unless you don't count Seikai as space opera.

No I count it, I just wasn't that big of a fan of it.

And in defense of Cajunator, Nadesico is easily one of my favorites from the 90s (although I suppose this says as much about what I think of most anime in that decade as much as it does Nadesico). There hasn't been anything quite like it since. Looking forward to the BD release of it this year.

This episode Sakura wishes she was bigger than her brother so she can stomp on him, sibling love is a beautiful thing ain't it?

Sakura-mad.gif
 
Does anyone know a good anime that can even cause tears? So kinda drama(with action maybe) I guess.

Lists of shows that made me cry manly tears in rough order of tears shed:

Clannad After Story (this one had be bawling so hard. Manly tears of course and easily the most I've cried watching an anime)
Touch (this was my first Adachi experience)
Chrono Crusade (the best/worst ending of all time and it was for a rather mediocre series to boot)
Code Geass (yes that scene got to me, I am a sucker)
Katanagatari (these weren't manly tears, they were of another kind)
AnoHana (don't judge me)
5 cm (of all his works this was the only one that managed to draw some kind of emotion from me other than awe from staring at his clouds)

and the first Pokemon Movie. I was around 10 or so when I saw it and I lost my shit when
Ash died.
This was in a theater as well. Thankfully there were other kids who were crying worse when that shit happened.

There are a few others but they don't directly come to mind. I cry a fair amount of salty tears ;_;
 
1. Revolutionary Girl Utena (TV)
2. Night on the Galactic Railroad (movie)
3. Angel's Egg (movie)
4. Mushishi (TV)
5. Legend of the Galactic Heroes (OVA)
6. Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer (movie)
7. Boogiepop Phantom (TV)
8. NANA (TV)
9. Welcome to Irabu's Office (TV)
10. Belladonna of Sadness (slideshow)

I have watched over 5000 animes btw so you know this list is legit.
Mixing up TV, OVA and Film like a pro. Still, that's a pretty good list (in other words I agree with your choices because I like those titles as well. Seeing someone else like them validates me liking them in the first place).

I need to do a movie list we well, clearly.

Grave of the Fireflies makes people depressed and is certainly the most commonly cited title of that type.
Seconded. In the same vein, the Barefoot Gen films are something that also has to be seen (and always remembered)... but don't watch them back-to-back, for your own good.

It may be bit more political than the first 15 episodes, but shit gets real nonetheless.
Rossiu is a dick. NIA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! T_T
 
What's your name, cajunator?

Nope, but I do consider myself to be his nakama. And I was feeling a touch down 'cause I was feeling pang of lonliness. Happens occasionally, I've learned to sleep it off. ^^;

Maybe, everyone knows that Koi Kaze is a quality title.

I need to get around to this.

There's some stuff I haven't seen in too long to properly rate, or just haven't gotten around to yet, but this reflects how I feel about my favorite anime right now.

Daichi is directing Roundcats? Huh, suppose I'll have to watch me some Roundcats, then.

Yeah. It feels kind of like a waste of his talent (although it is pretty amusing for a 3 minute show), but I'm just happy to see Daichi getting work of some kind.
 
Does anyone know a good anime that can even cause tears? So kinda drama(with action maybe) I guess.

All shows that have brought me close to tears/to tears:

Samurai X - Trust And Betrayal
Now and Then, Here and There
Elfen Lied (COME AT ME BROS)
Shingetsutan Tsukihime
Honey And Clover (mainly the end of season 2)
 
I just woke up and LISTS EVERYWHERE!
I am ok with this. Fuck I have to work tonight though. Free time over.

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/aims771&show=0&order=4

no one commented on my mal list, everyones busy with the new guy :(
Your list isnt bad. I like most of those shows.

Good start, already made myself look like an idiot. I for some reason thought that was the episode title.
You have to do a whole lot in this particular forum to look like an idiot. You have not yet begun that particular journey.

Man, I really am quite the failure. I couldn't even make a top ten. Maybe I just chose ten titles, and I don't include any movies, and I don't rank anything.

Maybe then.
I have this problem also. Almost need to break it down into moves/ OVAs/ series

Edit fail.

Sakura-mad.gif

Haha. I watched that episode this week. Sakura is a little monster.

No I count it, I just wasn't that big of a fan of it.

And in defense of Cajunator, Nadesico is easily one of my favorites from the 90s (although I suppose this says as much about what I think of most anime in that decade as much as it does Nadesico). There hasn't been anything quite like it since. Looking forward to the BD release of it this year.

What can I say? I was born in 1982, and wasnt really "aware" of anime until the mid 90s, and I started following it seriously around 1999-2000. I narrowly missed the debut of several huge series, although the US didnt really catch onto these either until a couple years later, so I think I "rode the wave" so to speak. I started buying into it at the end of the VHS era and the beginning of the DVD explosion.

That is a really really nice list. Some great music to be found there as well. Seeing Haibane Renmei so high on peoples list makes me HNNNG.

Nope, but I do consider myself to be his nakama. And I was feeling a touch down 'cause I was feeling pang of lonliness. Happens occasionally, I've learned to sleep it off. ^^;

Good stuff. I guess despite our differences on this forum we are still generally in agreement when it comes to the best shows. That's good to know.
 
What is this? A Final Fantasy thread?

The Final Fantasy fan looked to the anime fan and smirked with an assured gaze. "We're not so different, you and I..."

What can I say? I was born in 1982, and wasnt really "aware" of anime until the mid 90s, and I started following it seriously around 1999-2000. I narrowly missed the debut of several huge series, although the US didnt really catch onto these either until a couple years later, so I think I "rode the wave" so to speak. I started buying into it at the end of the VHS era and the beginning of the DVD explosion.

Same here, born in 81. And I didn't realize we were so different? o_o Oh well, guess it's on my end.
