ah see the other day i was just thinking "i want to see that list of mecha anime on GAF but how to search for it"
i have a mecha-shaped gap in my anime knowledge, only non-recent thing on that list i've watched is Eva, i want to watch & understand!
love 50s Film Noire and loved Asimovs books as a kid so will probably start with The Big O
think i watched the first couple episodes of FMP S1 and wasn't really feeling it, is it ok to skip ahead to 2nd Raid?
No, well, I mean. You should definitely watch at least Fumoffu before the Second Raid, because much of The Second Raid is about putting the main romance through the ringer, and without the development of two shows, a lot of impact is lost. I'd recommend watching all of FMP, but if you're not feeling, it, I dunno. It's my FAVORITE, but not necessarily THE BEST.
But please watch The Big O. Everyone needs to see that show.
Yea, Final Fantasy Unlimited is not what I would call a good anime, that Gonzo touch.
Haha, I confess that much of my like of the show is rooted in the fact that I will forever dig Makenshi's theme, and because who doesn't love Chobi?
Now that is an impressive list, Corvo, I've even picked up some stuff to watch. It also reminded me that i really need to get around to watching The Big 0, because I love that kind of noiry retrofuturist stuff.
If my list accomplishes nothing more than to get more people to watch The Big O, then it will have been a force for good.
Listening to the Shingeki No Kyojin OST reminded me that not only does it have kickass intros it also is one of the better OST's to come out for anything in a while.
I only hate the 2nd OP. Everything else in the show is pretty kicking, musically.
Wait how can one like ZZ the best but hate the beginning?
That was when the show was at its best. Then it tried to take all those wacky characters and shoehorn them into serious roles to lead into Char's Counterattack
but at all times ZZ is a show where nothing any character does makes any sense at any given moment. I figured most UC fans liked to pretend this show didn't exist, so it's weird to see it as someone's favorite UC show. and for reasons that aren't even the strengths of the show.
Judau won the newtype ability lottery though. Ability to make every single female you come into contact with hopelessly attracted to you.
I felt like that was more Kamille's thing. Judau's power was to protect all the imoutos of the world. Haman Khan is secretly an imouto somewhere deep down. And I should note that I actually quite like the beginning of ZZ, but many folks don't. That said, I still prefer the second half, aside from them trying to suddenly make Mondo into a serious character. I thought they did a fine job of doing that to Judau, Roux, Beecha, Elle and Glemy, and seeing how Haman had left Chara and Mashmyre screwed up worked, too.
I'm a rare minority on this, I know, but I honestly think that ZZ does everything Zeta wanted to, but better, and I think that it is precisely that goofiness which enables it to. Zeta gets bogged down in all kinds of problems in the middle that ZZ, because it shrugs stuff off, never falls victim to. I'm crazy, but I legit think ZZ is the better show by a country mile. No Katz, no Sarah, no Reccoa, Char's corpse has been buried, no Poptarts Sriracha. ZZ was great for me, although it took a long while for me to warm up to.
No Golden Boy on second list. Tsk tsk, Mr. Raven.
Also, Corvo, do you want some shitty mecha (i don't know if mecha is the right word. There are mechs though) show to watch, go watch Divergence Eve. Shit's pretty bad and has more fan-service than you can shake a....well, a stick at. But that's just lewd to say.
I still haven't seen Golden Boy, and I kinda think I need to lay off bad mecha after Victory for awhile. I really, really need to see Macross, Getter, Mazinger, Patlabor, Giant Robo and the Buster shows. Also I still have to resume and finish Zegapain and Dual! Parallel Troubles.
OK i'll admit , you made me laugh with this.
If nothing else, my hope is that people will enjoy reading my complaints about AGE more than they did AGE.
Oh god Divergence Eve is horrible I didn't like the fanservice, and I watched this when I was a horny teenager looking for hentai everywhere, it was super boring.
You have to watch it Corvo.
Oooooh boy. Y'all's tempting the giant here. You know how I can't resist a bad show.
Who needs anime when you've got Pokemon?
Not me, that's for sure.
(Waiting for tomorrow is going to suuuuuuuuck why couldn't I live somewhere with a midnight release?)
Speaking of getting stuck in games, I bought Kid Icarus Uprising today. I don't get why I need the stand or even how to use it. Pit's a dweeb, but Palutena is fairly on her way to waifu. Here's hoping she doesn't turn out to be another awful JRPG Goddess.
Fine, fine.
Valvrave the Liberator 1-2
...what?
Other than that, lots of pretty colors. Reminds me a bit of Gundam Seed. Not sure if that is good or bad thing yet, as this show is hella different in most everything other than looks.
Have you watched Code Geass yet? Cuz the show is so much better if you've seen Geass.
TL soulmate leads.
