Winter 2012 Anime Thread 2.22: You Can (Not) Outpost Cajunator

Not open for further replies.
I do need to be careful watching shows just because of a great OST because Angel Beats has a pretty good one and you guys LOOOOOOOVE that show.
Although, to be fair I did enjoy Angel Beats for the stupid show that it is. The music easily got me through it.

Music is oftentimes a pretty good indicator of a good show though.

But it had so many great moments

Cardcaptor Sakura is a good example of this, such a good OST.

How are you finding your new FA-003s, Cajun?

I love these headphones.
They were so worth it.
I've actually been hearing little musical details in songs that I couldnt hear before in the static and its making Anime OST's particularly enjoyable.
 
Gundam SEED Destiny, no joke, great soundtrack. The score + trolling Shinn fans about Kira replacing him eventually when it was airing was the only redeeming things about Destiny.
Athrun fans were trolled just as much as Shinn fans. Anyway since GSD soundtrack was mentioned I'd recommend checking out Symphony Seed.

I'm actually quite jealous, I'd offer my first child for a pair, but they aren't available here :(

What anime OSTs have you listened to so far? If you're looking for a good recommendation, try Wind. There aren't many tracks (10), but they are all really long and it remains one of the best orchestrated versions of an anime OST (or indeed, video game OST) that I've heard.

EDIT: Also, try going back to Moonphase, it's OST holds up really well IMO.

Been listening to some on recommendation, like C3, as well as Gundam Unicorn, then the sort of stuff I like such as Noir, Elemental Gelade, Angel Beats, Haibane Renmei, Sora no Woto. These work particularly well with instrumentals with delicate string arrangements and piano that used to be kind of distorted when I listened to them before.

Please Teacher! (END)

So I'm watching Please Teacher! and Please Twins! to sort of prep myself as Ano Natsu comes to a close. I don't know which one I watched first, Ano Natsu or Please Teacher! but I promptly dropped both after their first episodes. Of course, GAF's explosion over Ano Natsu 9 convinced me to pick it back up again and now that I've watched it all the way up to that episode, I wanted to find out what to expect with Yosuke Kuroda's other works. Especially considering the similarities between Ano Natsu and Teacher!

In comparison to Ano Natsu, Kei gives me a better appreciation for Kaito. This guy is just
annoying to watch for the sheer majority of Please Teacher! As slow at Kaito is, at least
he doesn't do some of the stupid crap that Kei does. But then, Please Teacher! earns points for moving the story alone faster. Ano Natsu took nine episodes to get somewhere. Meanwhile in Teacher,
confessions were being put out in the open, hookups were happening
. There was a lot of stuff going on and I liked that. I'm gonna start with Please Twins! now and see if this-

Please Twins! 5

I never asked for this.

Please Twins! (END)

I've made a huge mistake. What I thought was going to be some mystery-harem of them investigating who was related started teetering into
incestville
.

If I had to rank the three then it'd probably go as follows:
1. Please Teacher!
2. Ano Natsu
3. Please Twins!

I like Kazami better than Ichika because Kazami knows what she wants and she really-

Please Twins! OVA

OMG
KEI
FINALLY SPOKE! THAT LITTLE POS FINALLY SAID SOMETHING! BEST OVA EVAHHHHHHHHHH.

When I first watched the OVA I thought it was middling and fairly boring, but the TV series somehow has me looking back on it fondly.

I don't know which to way to lean, really.

The OVA was well made , but dull. The TV series isn't nearly well produced and it's filled with completely ridiculous melodrama, yet I can't help but be entertained by it.

I suppose I'm siding with the TV series here.

Now and Then, Here and There - 01

a.k.a Time to get some 12/13 episoders out of my backlog.

There better be a good reason why the girl can barely speak, and we have a main protag who just charges through things with little thought, oh joy.

Well, the latter is basically just his character. Half the fun of the series is seeing a SHOUNEN HAATO character have to deal with the crap in the series. For the former, they explain that later.

Fuse - A girl gunslinger's detective story

Original Author: Sakuraba Kazuki (Gosick)
Director: Masayuki Miyaji (Xam'd)
Script: Ichiro Okouchi (Code Geass)

New theatrical anime for Fall 2012.

When you combine all this talent in one project you can't help but get memorable results. In all seriousness, there's not enough information about this to care one way or the other, but that's hardly what I'd call a dream tea.

The way the hand is position in that promotional art looks awkward as well.

When faced with a choice, always err on the side of ridiculousness.

well not really...yet
Do you think Ayumi Kurashima is doing the animation character designs?
That drawing looks like her art.

Who is the studio animating this?

Also, believe it not, there was once a time when Okouchi would write decent stuff time to time, before Geass happened.

Well, I suppose I'm no longer alone (or just nitpicking) with my complaints regarding Nisemonogatari being inferior to Bakemonogatari. It never really pulled away from weak first couple of episodes, even with a few bright spots throughout the series.

Is this you feeling vindicated? :p

Aren't you the guy who only watches anime from the past five years or something? That would explain why you don't know Bebop.

I can understand someone not recognizing a character from a show, even one they've watched before. There are so many of them that look similar. However, Mad Pierrot kind of stands out.

Have you watched Arjuna or Brain Powerd?

No, not yet. Arjuna's on the list.
I keep looking on Ebay for it but I can't seem to win any of the auctions. always that one guy who bids up at the end. It must be a truly great gem of a series. Or else Gaffers are beating me to it.

You guys have me really wanting to buy Glass Fleet. what the fuck have you done?

What we had to do... what we've always done... turn horrible shows into a fighting chance to troll others into watching them.

I've never actually seen Glass Fleet
 
Kid Icarus Thanatos Rising p1

Kind of late, didnt know it was up on nintendo video today. I liked the visuals but it was just hindered by the va and then the system itself. I couldnt help but feel that 3D didnt really add anything to it and it would have done the staff better if Nintendo had supplied it on their sights to support larger and better defined video.

Only Paulutena sounded good voice wise. Pit was odd for some reason, whom I dont think I ever heard that VA before. Hopefully I make it to seeing the rest though nintendo video is quite slow.

What in the world is wrong with Killua's family? He seems to be the only sane person there. The worst mother and siblings ever and even the butler, I can already sense he will be some huge obstacle for the other three. Killua not being in the main party is quite detrimental to their combat capabilities.
It took all three, Leorio, Kurapika, and Gon just to open one of the doors? Killua opened like three on his own.
I can only fear what will happen if they run into anymore of the Zoldyck family. What if he has a father who is actually there, instant defeat. Seeing ones favorite character in such a condition is pretty emotional and depressing so hopefully they can meet or save Killua from this tragic and depressing situation posthaste without running into more of the crazy family.

The most shocking moment was definitely
when the apprentice butler was shot, once again a terrible mother, and is she an android?
