I would get most of that if I weren't saving money for Penguindrum.

Hopefully more time means more cubes, if you know what I mean.
That's why it starts with naka, yes.
Sunrise please make a second season although the manga is cancelled.sonofabitch, why did they put both of the Ohio showings in northern Ohio? Not cool.
Haha, it's so funny to read this because I absolutely can't stand the dramatic piano music in Say "I Love You." It always takes me out of the show when it starts up.
Aww. But yeah, Girls und Panzer pretty much requires you to enjoy both girls und panzer to like it. Although some people in this thread seem to be soldiering on for panzer alone.

From the New World 6:
Saki done fucked up. This episode was a lot more interesting story wise than the previous episode, although it is still below earlier standards. It's a real shame that the final scene didn't look more impressive, because that could have easily been an awe inspiring scene if they had handled it properly. Still, the show is remaining very enjoyable, and the story is highly engaging, so I won't complain too much about the last two episodes.

I didn't like the designs very much, so early on it was definitely for da panzers, but I'm really fond of the characters now.

Goodness gracious the dubwork is awful. Everything else is pretty cheap-looking as well, but I can't expect much from a ten-minute commercial.

Why can't there be a middle ground?
I consider myself pretty casual. I may watch a bit more than what is defined as casual and want some of the merchandise (such is figurines), but at this point I only watch. Maybe somewhere in the middle I guess?

Creating art is not possible without the use of drugs.
Edit: Before I read this single sentence I didn't even know these series were valued as masterpieces but now I can even understand why.
Enlightening.

No I mean seriously I've watched like eighty episodes of Slam Dunk in the last year and I don't remember a single instance of nudity or ecchi or whatever.
I couldn't help but think of this when I read that and burst out laughing.
i'm a fan of all things wahjah
Im pretty much on the otaku end but not appearance wise.
If you saw my room you would be 100% sure

WHY CAN'T TWO TOPLESS WARRING TEENAGE BOYS JUST BE B-BALL RIVALS
WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO ENTAIL BACKDOOR SEX
At any rate, seeing Slam Dunk get mentioned reminded me of this amusing live-action parody of its first OP:

I don't think I can get into the childish animes anymore. It needs to be something unique. The last one that I loved immensely was Death Note. Haven't seen anything seriously good since then.
Any recommendations for serious original animes?
Currently watching "From the New World" and it's not bad. Had a few hiccups in the middle but looks like its getting back on track.
I watched Tsuritama and Code Breaker (1 episode each) and they are quite childish.
I am thinking of starting Steins;Gate again as I dropped it after 7-8 episodes. Seeing the lack of original stuff, I might have to pick it up again =/

Yeah, I wasn't going to comment on that, but all of those choices are pretty bizarre.
Soul Eater, I can at least sort of get, but Gantz?
Does anyone above the age of 12 think that Gantz is even close to something resembling a coherent and well thought out narrative, never mind a masterpiece?
Of the works that were named, Slam Dunk is the only one that really seems to be widely considered a 'masterpiece'.

I wouldn't really consider Tsuritama to be childish, unless 'childish' means bright and colorful, and has some younger characters.
Certainly it isn't nearly as childish as something like Death Note.

I think we are lowballin' (get it?) the meaning of masterpiece here.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Ages 14-24: Hardcore watching everything wearing cat ears in public baka gaijin otaku anime is the bestest thing ever I will watch anything from Japan OG OTAKU MOTHA FUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Ages 25-Present: Casual. If it's cute I'll watch it.
I'd recommend you stick with tsuritama as it really isn't childish at all and gets better with each and every single episode. As for more recent stuff, you could check out Kenji Nakamura's other series: Mononoke (incl. the Ayakashi Bakeneko Prequel Arc) and Trapeze.
oh and School Days sounds right up your alley.

School Days is quite the refined love story
Thank everyone later.
edit: seconding Mononoke though a really interesting and suspensful series.
Casual is already the middle ground.

Only the first series. Z was hipster shit. GT was just shit.

Z was just taken from Z Gundam anyway 'cause they thought it was cool. Fucking hipsters.
UC Gundam > Dragon Ball
as someone that is currently halfway through watching it again I have to agree
they just don't make shit this charismatic any more
Tsuritama isnt that childish.
Anyway, Fate Zero would perfectly suit your tastes. Possibly Psycho Pass.

I've read Dragon Ball (the volumes before Z) so often.
It is great and it aged well.
The humor just flows.
Considering how popular Z is, how can it even be a hipster thing?
But I agree, GT is shit.
