I think what hurts it is that the premise has already been done 5 million times before in anime. It's better executed than most, but it still does absolutely nothing new or original.
My opinion on it might be hurt unfairly by watching it in tandem with Mushishi, which similarly deals with supernatural creatures but does it in actually interesting ways and has far more thematic depth.
is Parasyte similar in nature to Shadowstar Narutaru?
This is the hidden treasure of the Berserk dub. Ihowever it may have ruined Berserk because I always expect Griffith to break into song in serious moments.
My squees are ready.

Yeah, that's got to be the reason, doesn't it. He certainly hasn't done anything to actually deserve it! Sure, in eps, uh, 3 and 5 I think he does a couple of slightly useful things, but he's still mostly useless, and main girl still gets a lot more done, but all she gets is (mostly) wrongly criticized for it. It's really stupid. I kind of like her anyway, though... it's probably one of the reasons I haven't abandoned the show for good yet.
that list is pretty solid except SAO.
Simoun I didnt expect to see.
Interestingly, any time Ive heard casual or non anime fans talk about Elfen Lied it was positive.
No Millennium Actress no sale!

Hey now. That main security guy at the station just wants everybody to do as they're told and not be proactive in preventing crime so he can go on to a better position. ;P
He has to be. He is way too consistent with it.
That day will come
when you import the japanese version cause there wont be a US one
Well..hentai IS japanese pop culture
Puella Magi Madoka Magica 10
Suffering x 100
Fuck man. I caught feels. It all makes sense now, especially episode 1. This is too sad
This is probably one of my favorite anime episodes ever. It explaines so much and singlehandedly elevated the series to one of the best.
I will see if it will be able to top J-Decker in its due course, now that was a damn fine anime series, and probably the most underrated one I have ever watched.
If you enjoyed that one check out Millennium Actress. Kon's best work by far.
Hnnnnnngh
this show did have its moments
its one of the most overrated shows though.
Thats...a hercules beetle!

Kill La Kill 25 [OVA]
Well, damn. That shit had just as much hype as the original series. I really digged it. Of course, there was that one asspull. Despite that though, it was a good way to really end KLK.
I didn't know there was a OVA, uh.
I think it ended quite beautifully. A bit open ended but the show could only be like that. Skip the first two movies since they just rehash the series. Movie 3 takes the franchise in a very controversial direction (but an inevitable one imo)
The story does begin to kick into high gear about that time. You also might fall in love with Kurisu but thats normal.
Oh yay, SHIROBAKO is 2 cour show
2 whole cours? YESSSSSSS

Goldfish Warning! Episodes 1-46
I've been watching this for the last month or so and now I have to stop due to the fact there aren't any more episodes subbed (There's 8 episodes left as of this post) but I'll just give my impressions of it anyway.
Goldfish Warning! is the story of a girl called Chitose Fujinomiya who suddenly loses her entire fortune after the death of her father and gets kicked out of Tokai Academy (A school for rich kids), the only possession she has left is a pink goldfish called Gyopii. She's discovered by the students of the rundown Inaka Junior High where she's nursed back to health. The school has both people and farm animals amongst its students that cause tons of trouble. Anyway after finding out that her father also left her a small fortune she becomes the owner of the entire school. The rest of the series follows her trying to force her trying to make everyone into refined people like her and also to get back at Yurika Sugodaira, the Student Council President of Tokai Academy.
Goldfish Warning! was the show that the majority of the Sailor Moon staff were working on before Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon was the replacement for Goldfish Warning!'s timeslot) and it really tells just with how the characters look most of the time. If I were to put it simply, Goldfish Warning! is basically just like the more comedic episodes of Sailor Moon but with no overarching plot as the entire series is all half episode stories. Seeing as I really enjoyed the more humourous side of Sailor Moon, this series hit the spot for me. If you didn't like episodes of Sailor Moon like Episodes 20, 31, 37 or 40 this may not be the series for you (give a it a shot anyway!). It's really underwatched, possibly due to the fact that it has not been completely subbed but I think more people should try it out even if you end up like me waiting for more episodes of this to get released!
In my opinion Goldfish Warning! is even funnier than most anime comedies out nowadays. this manages to be consistantly funny for 46 episodes, while there are some anime that have aired recently with episodes that can't even make me crack a smile and they're only 12-13 episodes and you'd think that with its length, Goldfish Warning! would have lost its charm after a while.
This series comes highly recommended from me. Hopefully this post gets more people to watch it!

The End...for now.
Aikatsu! 102
Not the first show of the new season, nor even a new show, but the first "new season" of the new season that I'm watching. I've been saying for months that introducing Akari when they did made the transition to her as the main character of season 3 less abrupt, more natural, and the audience is ideally welcoming to her presence. Plus all the great side characters like Principal Orihime and Johnny are still there. There's a few new music cues, a whistle-happy opening, and a new Aikatsu phone to sell, but otherwise, things are as they have been and shall be.
Having Akari's room be wrecked early into the episode by a bad rainstorm is a quick and easy way to get her a room with a more plot important character, and I'm glad that Sakura is still going to be a major presence in this season. She never did much in S2, not as much as I would've liked. It's also seen that there's one more girl who's going to join Akari's circle, known neither in name nor brand. Sumire and her fortune telling is alright, but right now I need more time to get to know her. I'm mostly riding off the goodwill that she has by being a fan of Yurika, and everybody loves Yurika. Ichigo wasn't even "gone" for that long before making a return appearance in episode 2.
Another year of idols, and to that I say, bring it.

For such a small country Finland sure has a lot of representation in different anime series. Must be because of the Moomins.

Is the Toriko anime good or should I go straight to the manga?

I agree, episode 10, and the revelation that Homura
pretty much made things even better for QB
this wasn't really Madokas story, but Homuras.
I'm a little wary of watching Rebellion now :x
It was a solid series but it would have been better if it had a full season to flesh stuff out. IIRC the last 3-4 episodes were anime original so it was totally rushed and didnt really make sense and left a bunch of plotholes. The middle part with Yukine's fall and redemption were excellent IMO.
Probably worth going straight for the manga. The anime is alright but I feel something is lost in the monster designs during the transition to anime.
I haven't seen any other show in the Brave series, but GaoGaiGar is nice for a couple reasons. First off, though, note that it's REALLY formulaic, stock footage etc. But its also a really nice show that begins with this really innocent, happy world that it slowly tears down over the series. There's sort of a cumulative effect over the course of the show. Like hero gets a new special, new bad guys thrash him, he gets even better new attack, so that by the end the heroes are doing some really crazy fun stuff.
It's not -the best- mecha anime of all time, but its a good one if you can get past the MOTW formula for much of the show. The second half of the show through Final was some good moments.

"I read a doujinshi like that once," the series. A work com with the flavoring of otaku culture in its premise. Stuff like this, the Akiba-type stuff (though not necessarily as direct about it as this) is what makes anime feel like anime, to me. Like here. There's not much "fanservice" in the sense that people would use it, but there's no denying that lewdness is part of these characters' everyday lives. They have their fetishes, their nicknames, their stock types (many of which are the type to do stock, those books ain't gonna move themselves), and I'm still feeling a pleasant hang-out kinda feeling from the show.
Getting a Comiket-story this early is kinda surprising, but the two shorts format has been proven to work before. Each story has a tighter run time to tell itself, and the comedy mostly worked, because it's about the essence of what anime can be when it works with its elements instead of trying to fight against them. I wouldn't call it new, but if this is the first thing I see in this new season, then the days ahead are looking bright.
Taketatsu's OP and the cast's ED are both pretty easy listening.

Gundam Build Fighters ep.1-25
Super fun show! Best Commercial Ever!
The whole Gunpla and kids show information initially made it seem not really something of interest to me and I was just not going to pay it any attention. Seeing some screenshots and gifs from others though and it at least looked really good. Giving it a shot and I thought it was fun right from episode 1. Unfortunately I haven't seen much Gundam, so I didn't get most of the references. I didn't even know who Ramba Ral was,haha.
I was curious about Aila right near the beginning and was even going to make an avatar of her but at that time there was only about two artworks of her just as she looks in the opening.
Fortunately now though after her time in the show, there's all kinds of pictures.
I hope to see at least a cameo of her, but hopefully more, at least like with China where she's a bit older and in Paris.
Zach was mentioning her to me I think as a way to get me to watch Strike Witches. I quickly looked her up and wasn't there two girls from Finland? I thought she had a sister or friend or something.
All right! Another person was watching this show!
I got a little busy so I'm actually only on episode 14 or something I think.
I agree as well that it's still a really funny and entertaining show. I was watching it at about an episode a day and every day it was one I was looking forward to. Would also like to mention again that it indeed is underrated and more people should really give it a try.
Youve made a wise decision.
I like that twist too. Madoka seems like a run pf the mill mahou shoujo but quickly sets itself apart.
you should watch the third movie with an open mind to the possibilities.
Its amazing the amount of money you can sink into that site.
There are so many things I want off of it. I really should just spend the $250 each time and get free shipping.

It was your post that made me give it a shot. So thank you for that!
Finished it just in time for all the Gundam this season (and 0083 and 8th MS Team which I'm watching next).
What? From RightStuf or postage?I checked back home and apparently a 100$ order got lost
That sucks. They will probably (hopefully) replace anything for you.
I keep seeing Madoka talk in here and I keep trying to not buy figures.
$200 Homura figure or new hockey/snow shoeing equipment.
ill probably buy both options

Our very Mr. Reg-chan sure must be smiling right now enjoying your conversation and his legacy in here, wherever he is on that transcended plane of life beyond this community... soon to be ready for a new re-incarnation and coming, to help us at this worldly place on next January for the task of spreading again Saviour Ikuhara's teachings.
Rightstuf shipped it, tracking number says ups delivered it but its nowhere to be found.
Thats the worst possible situation. Hope it works out.
Ill just repurchase the stuff I guess.
