I seriously gotta get my hands on Arjuna. For some reason I drag my feet and keep neglecting to buy it on ebay or amazon when it comes around.
I cant comment on the manga, only the anime.
Their nudity was just there. They were naked. nothing was made about it or discussed. no sexual jokes until Nyuu was actually clothed later on and even then it wasnt any worse than your typical heremshit. It never was disturbing or bothersome unless merely a young girl being naked is totally bothersome to you.
I wouldn't call it a challenge because there's no reward for completing it, only regret and disgust.
Hitokage is a hard man to track down these days but I really need to finish compiling the official LIST of "transcendent anime experiences" with him and create that thread we've been planning for months.
Ace wo Nerae! - Movie
NOT COOL ;_;
Other than that, this was brilliant. Superbly animated, especially for a movie from 79, coupled with a fantastic cheesy disco soundtrack (that I can't find anywhere). Best of all was Otowa not being the typical shoujo huge bitch.
While I was watching it I thought this lacked the crazy melodrama from the TV series, but the movie redeemed itself with that ending. Fucking hell.
THAT'S NOT COOL. WHAT THE FUCK COACHIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Is Arjuna actually bad?]
It looks pretty fascinating by the looks of screenshots and short videos.
Tomat what the hell.

It's not bad, just insane.
Yeah. By which I mean, what Ace o Nerae! movie? I know of no such film.
Well my friend had one of those.
I have bugged him to watch Madoka Magica for over a year, and he kept putting it off until finally he sat down and we marathoned the blurays.
He went from indifferent to "this is quite possibly the best anime I have ever seen" and promptly made a youtube review of it and everything. You could see him go from casual interest to being more and more riveted to finally being moved to tears and emotional towards the end of it. I was pretty amazed how much that show changed his mind.
Actually, "transcendent anime" is just our code for THE LIST. y'know, stuff like Garzey/Yami/Laws of Eternity/School Days/etc.
Ahhh. Yes.
Yami is fucking incredible.
Garzey is the best 5 bucks you'll ever spend.
Is Code Geass on this list?
I have a few friends that don't really like anime who loved madoka
its one of those shows thats devoid of the things that make anime horrid for your average guy (fanservice, awful synth music, plot holes, inconclusive endings, pointless filler)

If Saber were genderbend to male, then the anime would definitely be top ten material.
That's a tough one. It's infuriating to watch, it has terrible characters, it makes you scream at the TV constantly. The problem I don't think it sinks to the level of enjoyable bad. It's just bad with enjoyable mech action.

Funny enough, the Jdrama special sort of picks up where the movie leaves off. Well, sort of. lol
Really? It was subbed ages ago. Basically a catch up of the first two seasons... sort of.
Glass Fleet.
Ah yes but Code Geass enjoys reverence in this community. It is pretty much worshipped.
You've seen Fate/Prototype, right?
A fact that I'm constantly encountering and am continuously confused by.

It's a short OVA showing what if Nasu had follow his original plan and had the protag of F/SN a female and Saber was a male.
It's pretty cool, makes you wish they done something with this instead of what we have now known as F/SN.
Of course. The tentative list is 30-ish shows long. I don't know if Hito is still invested enough in GAF to still want to go through with the thread (which would have divided the shows into categories like "infamously bad dubs", "ideological tracts", etc. and all with summaries written by animegaffers) but I'd still like to eventually make it a reality. At some point I'll seek input from everyone else here.
You might want to reconsider the intent of my statement!

Code Geass is schlock of the highest calibre. What's not to like?
Frankly I enjoyed it quite a bit but it suffers from a lot of the same problems that other shows are panned for. Its an enigma.
It's a 15 minute little digest version of Nasu's original concept that had a female Master and a male Saber. It's not really developed and more like a series of vignettes but oh what could have been.
Good schlock I can understand. Code Geauss schlock, with one of the most hateable, obnoxious, selfish protagonists of all time, I cannot.
To settle the debate: Geass is easily list material. The amount of one-upping, fabulous melodrama, shameless implementation of bad anime tropes in a self-serious narrative, and "PLOT TWIST EACH EPISODE AT ANY COST" are unparalleled by any other anime. It's the quintessential trainwreck.

Wow that looks incredible, will have to check it out.
It's a shown hewn from the rawest of cliffhanger.
Geass doesn't hang from cliffs, the cliffs hang from Geass.

Dohoho~
This has to be my next list watch show. I've been recommended it far too many times. With my username, I feel duty bound to undertake it.

Poo you!
The probability of someone unironically enjoying Geass is far too high for it to be worthy of the "I hate myself and want to die" GAF list
Including it would probably be better rage fodder for everyone but the person watching it.

Well shit, the second set has commentaries. Now I'm interested even though I hate it so much. I wonder if it's a Kobayashi commentary...
Oh hey, I just thought of something. Have you guys watched Those Who hunt elves? because you totally fucking should!
