Library Wars is over 
Very enjoyable series but waay too short. Oh well, at least it also introduced me to Base Ball Bear. They are pretty good

Wow this movie looks nice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeB53drJASg
Pretty wild style but I will definitely buy it on DVD and now it's definitely one of my most anticipated anime (well korean animation) movie of this summer.

The bass player is a real cutey if I remember correctly. But, I think we can agree that Aishiteiru is the pussiest song evar.

Ep 2 of Birdy was good. Just as amusing and fun to watch as the first ep. The fight animation isn't half of what it was in the first episode (but that's standard for like every series) thought but it was a lot better than the majority of shows when they aren't in their key sequences. The art was also consistent too which gives it a leg up over a lot of things.

The only problem I have with Birdy is the effect of gravity (or lack thereof) while moving in the air during fight sequences...it just feels odd; i can't quite put my finger on it beyond that. I'm really enjoying Chiba Saeko's voice acting a lot. Quite a few critiques about her acting while she's Shion to be quite annoying but I find it to be quite "cute" for lack of a better term. I never saw the OVA so can't comment in relation to the original acting by Kotono. I definitely like the newer artwork (based on the OVA dvd cover) in DECODE.
Decided to order vol 1&2 of the new run of Birdy in Young...Sunday? Looking forward to reading that in the near future

Anyone else watch episode 14?
Definitely enjoyable for what it is, as it progresses the plot relatively quickly and they steer clear of filler. I'm genuinely interested in seeing where it's going to go, as they've done so much I wasn't expecting. I've liked everything about the show, except the lame humor.
Hey Relix there is one thing I have found that goes great with Geass and that is Darry's analysis of the episode. After I watch, I go straight here and read his comments, they enhance the show alot. (basically he pokes fun at it's ridiculousness).

Birdy ep2 was good. For some reason I can't put a finger on it when it comes to the fights...I dunno,maybe it's impact?
Oh man this show really gives off a gurren lagann vibe although the plot and setting is different.
Simon looking type character? Check
Hot looking chick similar to yoko? Check
A homosexual guy? Check
Afromania ED? Check

Okay, so in an attempt to understand Anime-GAF's hatred for Code Geass, I borrowed my friend's DVDs and started watching season 1 (at Ep 11 atm).
Does Season 2 take a plunge into shittiness or something? Because so far Season 1 is pretty great, what with all the factions and mecha types and intrigues. Also, Lelouch's assholery is highly entertaining to me.

Allot of Gaf posters are extremely one sided put it that way. They worship shit sometimes, and completely unforgiving to others:lolXisiqomelir said:
For the most part, its more of the same except it gets escalated more. I love the show for that reason. Just keeps a nice pass, makes its plot twists, and doesn't look back. Highly entertaining:lol

The show isn't bad in comparison to other programmes, but many of the characters and situations are so ridiculously contrived and unreal that it's difficult to take it seriously. Both of the main characters are arseholes, the designs are not particularly brilliant, and the mecha fights, though exciting, are nothing nobody has never seen everywhere else. I have to commend it on the mind-fucking strategies between Zero and his opponents, but everywhere else it seems as if the writers were pulling stuff out of their arses.
I, for one, love it because of this. It's like a mindless blockbuster movie with many plot twists every single week. Writing-wise, however, it is atrocious. You need to be in a certain mindset to be able to enjoy it.

Up to R2:E6. How can people hate this show? It's fucking hilarious :lol
Decided to give anime a break for awhile, I've got a lot of episodes to watch but I couldn't resist checking out two anime I've been wanting to watch ever since this thread came about.
World Destruction - Heaps better than I was expecting. Female lead character who isn't a push-over, a male lead character who is an absolute joker but I would easily befriend, and a small "bear" who seems to be striving to become a real knight in shining armour :lol Can't wait for the rest of this series.
Antique Bakery - A lot of gay humour but I love it when it's like that. It's also surprisingly very heartwarming. I can't really explain much more but all I can say is Antique Bakery = Ouran x Bartender + a dash of Yakitate. It doesn't take itself too seriously yet camps up the seriousness brilliantly somehow. A shame (or maybe a blessing) it's only 12 episodes. I absolutely adore both the OP and ED in terms of animation ideas and songs - everyone should check them out at some stage as the way they are done is quite original.
Now there's only one more series I have to grab in Chocolate Underground. I hope it turns out decent because originally I wasn't very optimistic for this season and I couldn't be more wrong so far.

:lol Anyone who takes the word of GAF as gospel needs to step away from the door for a little bit. Whilst times the GAF opinion can be valid (H&C, Paradise Kiss, Bokura ga Ita), other times it can really stink. It really depends on what you believe you want to watch and move on from there.Relix said:
I think Code Geass is different because it was a mecha that was hyped up, let alone having Goro Taniguchi at the director helm with Ichiro Okouchi as the writer. People (including myself) were expecting something as great as Planetes.

Good to hear as I'm thinking of getting the pack when it comes out in September.speedpop said:
duckroll said:Code Geass is shit. Saying that people hate it because its popular is retarded. Gundam 00 is much more popular than Code Geass both in ratings and in sales, and it gets tons of love around here. You'll have to come up with better excuses than that to defend your shitty show!
CG was near greatness 3/4th of the first season and then it went to shit.
