I just bought that series. I hope its good.

It's a really good series. The first episode is something else, it really is an amazing first episode, and it manages to be a really enjoyable series even though it's somewhat restricted by the fact its a prequel to a pretty average manga. I give all the credit to Aoki who moved onto greater things like Wandering Son and Fate/Zero this year.

Tanooki are generally known for their magical balls. It makes sense that Japan would have made an anime about it. That Studio Ghibli would do it is high praise indeed.

Can someone give me a brief summary of which Gundams are worth watching? I haven't seen any since the original over a decade ago and I wanna get up to speed for extreme vs.

Turn A Gundam. Almost all the OVAs (08th, War in the Pocket, Unicorn) are good. For modern stuff, SEED was kind of okay, Destiny was not. 00 S1 was pretty decent, S2 was not. Not really a huge Gundam guy myself but I've enjoyed the shorter stuff more in general than the longer series.

Don't watch G Gundam.

G Gundam, 08th MS Team, 0080, Unicorn. That is all. The kid in me wants to say Wing but I know that Nostalgia goggles won't hold up for that show anymore.

 

[JKTrix]

luka you probably would have been better off asking in the game thread.

War in the Pocket is good Christmas viewing.

Don't watch G Gundam in English.

Fixed. Though the dub isn't really that bad.

Don't watch G Gundam.

Original gundam movies, Turn A Gundam, Gundam 0083 (for the battles) Gundam 0080, 8th ms team, G Gundam, Zeta Gundam (for the lulz)

Ben-to - 12

This ended really well. Had everything you could want in a Ben-to episode--manly speeches, the hunger of wolves, combat, eel bentos.

Hoping for a season two but it probably won't happen.

too bad i finished reading the manga a few days ago and now it's ruined for me forever

looks like they're getting splattered with something, don't it?

 

[Cwarrior]

Now am wondering why is Pom Poko so underrated, I haven&#8217;t even heard about this movie before, it's so fucking amazing and this is me coming off watching the excellent "kiki delivery services" which&#8217;s rated around the top 3-5 studio ghibli movies but pom poko is way better.

Spoiler

And no am not an environmentalist, I say let the future generation who got screwed for being born in the wrong era worry about it.

beautiful soundtrack

Merry Christmas, AnimeGAF. Take time to enjoy a great holiday anime like Garzey's Wing.

Ben-To 12 (END)

That was alright, but yeah,

Spoiler

copping out by not showing the last fight with the twins

isn't really going to improve my opinion of the second half of this show. Such a shame.
I'll bet Aoi Yuuki had fun voicing the fujoshi though.

Bunny Drop 6.5

who knew weather charms could be so moe

too bad i finished reading the manga a few days ago and now it's ruined for me forever

Uhhh, how could you read something that doesn't exist!?

 

[jman2050]

Ben-To 12

See, now this is what true SHOUNEN HAATO is about. There's no better and noble cause for fighting than food!

More sick moe, fighting, hot-blooded standoffs, and best of all, only two seconds of Shiraume!

Show was pretty rad, it's probably too much to expect a second season unfortunately.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm watching The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition on Blu-Ray on my 64" plasma with the family. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I didn't mind that. The real villain was the Club of Heracles, and

Spoiler

he got beat down with a freaking combo attack.

The twins are nakama now.

I guess, but it still would have been nice

Spoiler

to see the "defeat" part of the whole "defeat means friendship" thing. Plus the Club barely seemed like a threat fighting-wise; all his points were in intimidation

.
Anyway, I enjoyed the first half a ton and the overall concept as well.

Pretend? There is no manga, Usagi Drop is an anime original.

But what happens when season 2 comes out? what then???

 

[Unknown Soldier]

It's ok. We'll all have become furry by then anyways.

 

[wonzo]

Ben-To 12 END

FUCK YES. Wolves, speaches about pride and beating the shit out of each other over half priced bento. A return to form for the last ep of the season. Now the wait begins for the sequel that will never come.

damn i actually forgot about that.

But what happens when season 2 comes out? what then???

then season 2 shall cease to exist

Spoiler

in my mind.

 

[Cwarrior]

Forget the wait go watch Pom Poko-magic raccon testicles and become a furry in advance.

I want to eat some Shaga :9

I'm a little sad because

Spoiler

Yarizui didn't show up in the fight

though.

 

[Geneijin]

Anyone know a services I can use to get subtitles Anime that are currently showing in Japan? I don't care if I have to pay, just need a good service.

niconico.com is also another service.

Seeing this image makes me glad I droped this show (droped it when the blonde one killed the show for me, only half the girls on there).

Hosoda being a furry isn't exactly new though.

 

[luka]

okay, i'm getting gundam 1-3, 0080, 08th MS team and stardust memory. that should keep me busy for a while, then i'll look into that alternate universe stuff later. getting into such an insanely prolific series blind is such a hassle. thanks lafiel.

Fate/Zero 13

Nice troll cliffhanger. Three months is quite a while to wait.

Also every scene with Rider in it is amazing.

 

[Geneijin]

Thereafter, luka vanishes yet again ;(

 

[cajunator]

Now that's a Bento box I would fight for!

even wolves need to rest every now and then

 

[Jim E. Rossler]

Since Fate zero is a prequel can you watch it without knowing anything about Fate Stay Night?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Usagi Drop 6.5: Yup, it's Usagi Drop alright. Too bad the manga didn't follow this path...

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Since Fate zero is a prequel can you watch it without knowing anything about Fate Stay Night?

Yes, that's what I'm doing.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Hosoda being a furry isn't exactly new though.

Are you conflating the creator and the audience? In other words, are you saying you've always been a furry?

Nice of you to post here once a year or so, that way we know you're alive!

[Instro]

Yes, in fact its probably better if you haven't seen FSN.

 

[Hitokage]

Are you conflating the creator and the audience? In other words, are you saying you've always been a furry?

Fair point. Even though Hosoda already showed us his vision for the internet, the story he's telling this time around requires a different level of participation in that matter.

 

[darkside31337]

Since Fate zero is a prequel can you watch it without knowing anything about Fate Stay Night?

Yes. And you should. F/SN anime is awful, more so in retrospect when you compare it to just how good F/Z is.

Are you conflating the creator and the audience? In other words, are you saying you've always been a furry?

I can confirm Hito is indeed a furry. ;_;

 

[Uchip]

I can confirm Hito is indeed a furry. ;_;

or at least he has an interest in it
lets not jump to conclusions

 

[shintoki]

Night doesn't really even make sense anymore to Zero. Everyone just seems so fucking weak.

Not interested in drawing arbitrary lines like you though.
