Persona 4: The Animation - 6://Spying on people may be hazardous to your health
Naoto and Kanji make their first appearances.
Kanji is
in the show, marking a very distinctive departure from the game, which always purposely left things very much up to the player's interpretation. This may be the first of significant changes in the main group which comprise the main characters. Well, we hope so, it would be boring if the show followed the game exactly, and thus far all departures from the game's story in the anime have been an improvement in the storytelling over what was in the game.
Restaurant-girl is pretty awesome in this episode, showing up to deliver their beef bowls on a scooter while they are running away from Kanji. She seems to have been added to the anime primarily for our amusement so far, but who knows if they'll make her important later on. She is not the new character being added to Persona 4: The Golden, so if she turns out to be important later on she will be an anime-only character added to the story.

Kanji is
pretty blatantly and hilariously gay

Patlabor OVA - 6
Great final episode, even though it has no big Labor action sequences but the story telling and the non-cliche dialogues, it was so good.

Mirai Nikki 06 or how to fuck up censoring so that whatever it is you are censoring ends up being worse: Yuno is too fucking adorable. You guys just cannot comprehend true love.

I enjoy it, but the show seems to be heading into love polygon territory... which, well, can end up good or bad depending on how long they make people pine for each other in linear love shapes.

The 4-part '80s OVA series is good, but the late '90s, ~26-ep TV series is so much better... also, the TV series is more a different version than a sequel. The OVA is worth watching anyway though, it's only four episodes and it's decently done. But don't expect it to be as good as the TV show.icarus-daedelus said:
Ignore the haters, it's a great show. One of the better shows of the first half of the '00s, I would say.Ezalc said:
And yes, expect girls with guns, hints of yuri, and lots of unhappiness and tragedy, with mostly likable assassins as the main characters. Also, no pantyshots ever, despite them almost always fighting in miniskirts. Oh, and yeah, a great soundtrack too. It's a lot like hack sign's soundtrack (it is from the same composer, of course), and both are fantastic...
Noir's my favorite of their 'girls with guns' shows for sure... I like all of them though (Noir, Madlax, El Cazador de la Bruja, and sort of also Avenger).
There might be better girls with guns shows out there, but not many of them... Noir is one of the best.Jexhius said:

Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos
Better than the average shounen anime movie, I guess, but nothing spectacular. They throw so much history at you just for the film that I lost track of the plot about halfway through and settled for enjoying the cool fight scenes. I'd still recommend it if you're a big FMA fan but probably not otherwise.
Also, it felt a bit weird hearing Romi Paku instead of Vic but I got used to it pretty fast.

He's like mid-late 20s.

If someone actually cares, then I'll post. Otherwise, I might as well talk about how Eva TV > End of Eva and start that thing again.zeroshiki said:Of course it is! This is a discussion board
Still a bit too young to think about needing to fantasize about your wife in order to get it up though... I would think.cosmicblizzard said:

Is there an anime/manga that stars a senior citizen? And no, someone that is past the age of a human's lifespan but looks like a teenager does not count.
firehawk12 said:
I am genuinely curious. But I like Kimi ni Todoke and lots of forms of shoujo so I'm not the norm here.
cosmicblizzard said:
Howl's had the girl as an old woman for half of the movie.
Golgo is pretty old. Kochi Kame too. If we stay in the manga world there are probably a ton from seinen manga and up.

I figured Golgo was like 40s. Definitely doesn't qualify for senior citizen unless he just looks fuckin good for his age. Don't know enough about Kochi Kame to judge.

For KnT? Because it was always about character growth and not the romance.zeroshiki said:

I prefer it to the agency-less heroines in all the other texts though. She does everything by herself without really being saved at any point.zeroshiki said:
And you must hate where the manga is going now then. Haha.

We need more Kimi ni Todoke. I support this notion by buying the future blurays.

The stuff after the second series is more focused on Sawako's BFFs though, so... I don't mind, but it suddenly becomes a lot more traditional.InfiniteNine said:

I'll agree that the second season/later volumes of the manga are very much the author trying to delay the inevitable, but it turned out okay for the most part. Even the misunderstandings were fairly low key and thematically relevant (ie, "Reaching You").zeroshiki said:
firehawk12 said:
Oh don't get me wrong. I've swallowed my fair share of cliched to death shoujo and Kimi ni Todoke is indeed a breath of fresh air. I just don't think its that much of one considering it fell into shoujo extension tricks. It just went about them in a different way.
Heidi 46
Not many episodes left. This was another sweet episode, as all the one ones before it, depicting Clara's vacation on the Alps. The buildup to Clara
While rewatching this every morning, I started to change my mind about the show. I never liked Heidi in the past, but now I actually can see that it is good, with some really special moments (the one today with the rainbow was worthy of a postcard).
Natsume book of friends S1 and half of S2
This show is nice and relaxing, with Nyanko-sensei being a great comic relief, but sometimes I feel like it is played a bit too straight with no real twists. From all the recollection though, I'm of the idea that watching Reiko would have been a more exciting experience than watching her too nice, too naive grandson.

actually really wanting to walk and not be a burden on people is handled nicely, and even Ms. "Oh my God!" is kinda softening up in a way.

Patlabor OVA - fin (bonus episode)
I love this show, there are not many action sequences, just one short real Labor vs. Labor fight, but the story, a big group of unique characters, humor and some of the greatest animations for a OVA production make it to an great anime. I had a lot of fun with it.
