They're still way behind. Ep5 airs this Sunday.
No kidding :\

Ep 4 will probably be out a lot faster anyways.


at least I hope so....but in any case, it's worth the wait :)
 
So far the Video Girl Ai manga is torture... (reading Chapter 17 now) I hate this worst than the indecisive fools in Ichigo 100% and I"s

How cruel is this shit?!

The Ending Better be to my liking :)

edit: finished 17 here we go again ;_;

Finally managed to take leave from work at long last. I seek GAF's help in recommending an anime series I should follow next. It has to follow the following citeria

- Loads of action
- Awesome orchestral music

These are the animes I have watched to help you guys filter your recommendations

- Last Exile
- Gundam Seed
- Samurai Champloo
- Samurai X
- Flame of Recca
- Shaman King
- Full Metal Alchemist

Aim for the top 2, Basilish, (bleach, naruto,) Fantastic Children (think Last Exile), Yakitate Japan if you want good humor, Tales of Phantasia OVA (2 out, great!) Grappler Baki (a little old, but still the best fighting anime out there), Macross Zero aaand Wolf's Rain. All great series worth watching.

One Piece.

On the second tier I would put Read or Die.

That's just recommendations strictly for action/orchestral though. Loosen up the requirements a bit and there's a whole bunch of other stuff.

just watched Trinity Blood ep 1.

what can I say? it sucks. it's like a mix of Trigun (the main character) and Hellsing (the plot and some characters). And I didn't like either of those shows. Bleah!

I might watch E7 next, but Honey & Clover and Gokujou so far are the only anime i'm dedicated to watching this season (dropped Emma cause I prefer the manga).

- Honey and Clover is back on track, folks. Ep 3 was awesome and the music on this show just keeps geting better. I need a soundtrack like now! :D

- Eureka 7's 3rd ep was great too

- Trinity Blood seems weak but I like the ED song so I will watch a few more eps ;)

PS: I'll check out Gokujou just cos Pellham hasn't steered me wrong yet!

Just finished watching Last Exile. Holy smokes... the last 2 episodes were pretty amazing. Really had me on the edge of my seat. The only main gripe I have about the series is that some of the characters were not as well developed as I would like them to be ( Alex ). And although the soundtrack is pretty good, there were not enough tracks and they kept recycling the same ones over and over again

really i thought the last few episodes really began to suck just like escaflowne's last few episodes brought the series down.

Well, gotta add the Snow Queen to my list of stuff to download every week. It's an anime rendition of the Hans Christian Anderson story and the first episode is quite good if you ask me. Harkens back to anime from the 70s and 80s like Future Boy Conan and several others in style.

The raw I got for episode 1 was 489 megs and had a screen resolution of 1280x720. Sooooo fantastic looking. Capped these in another proggy and the res was cut down a bit just so it wouldn't overtake the forum. This raw is quite possibly the best raw I've ever seen. It's actually better than a lot of the DVDs I've seen. :lol

You say "raw" so I assume it's being fan subbed? Sounds like something worthwhile.

It just showed last week so no fansub of it yet. I'm actually considering subbing this myself. :lol
Please do, Shouta. :lol

I saw "Snow Queen" listed last week at the usual places and saw that it was Hans Christian Anderson and instantly wanted to see it. Now that I've seen what it looks like I definitely want to see it. :D

Not exactly on topic, but I don't see the need to create a whole new thread just for this Q: can anybody recommend me any good anime romances? Comedy or not, whatever.

I've seen: Love Hina, His and Her Circumstances, Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, Chobits, Onegai Teacher.

Kimagure Orange Road and Maison Ikkoku are considered classics in the shounen romance category. I highly recommend them.

Ai Yori Aoshi

For a second there I thought you were Konex. Such a bad recommendation. -_-"

But like I said, Kimugare Orange Road (manga cause anime look so dated) and throw in Ah My Goddess also. ^_^
 
Eureka 7

I would like to know the relationships between the crew members on that ship.

Who are those kids? Do they have parents on that ship?


----

Whats so bad about Ai Yori Aoshi besides not having an ending?
Okay Okay but Ai is so cute :lol
 
Maison Ikkoku, Manga or Anime which is best? thanks

I always read mangas regardless just wondering if it would be worth the hassle to download 97 eps I have no space left on my HD let alone deleting 16GB for it

can't find Orange Road :(

I need to buy an external HD for my powerbook fast

I'll trout slap your face if you mention downloading Maison Ikkoku again. =P The series deserves to be owned on DVD.

I actually enjoy the anime more than the manga for Maison Ikkoku but the manga is just as good, the deliberate pacing that you get from anime productions works incredibly well for Maison Ikkoku and it makes the series feel satisfying when you watch it. It's also like video crack, start a disc and you can't stop watching it.

Eureka Seven is still the best series of the spring season.

The subbing situation kind of sucks, though. Long waits and that damned clock...

AYE! I'm glad I'm not the only one that notices that damn counter sheesh

but I really love this show I hope all 50 eps stays gold because I plan to own the DVDs

It's also coming out on UMDs for PSP :D

I don't have a PSP but if this keeps up I'm importing a white one


edit: watching ep 6 now that stupid counter is a clock now :lol
best show of the season why are we getting retarded raws?
 
I like the way they animate that walk :D

I kinda like all the girls, except Eureka (she gives me android vibes)

eps 6-7 seem really cool I want to learn Japanese so bad

I still wish they would sub Karas, it has potential coming out the wazoo. :) ^^^I'll check it out, it's only RAW yet, right?

Dammit, where's my Speed Grapher 7? Shinsen-Subs need to stop churning out PoT and get their arses in gear... I thought PoT had finished anyway, why is anyone still subbing it?

I;m simply not feeling Rah-Xephon man. I'm at episode 11 and I'm on the verge of giving up. The pacing is horrendously slow I feel. I don't know... a large part of the problem could be that I went into the series expecting something similar to SEED
