Da fuck, really? Shit, that is Takuto.

The black and white threw me off. Guess I gotta finish this now.

Just watch the last episode for explosions and pretty lights.

 

[Hellsing321]

It's probably a lot easier if you make the account when you've just started watching anime.

Also cute av Kotomi.

Keeping it updated is a pain and I still am missing a bunch of shit. All this talk of lists has made me update with the shows I watched the last few seasons at least.

What he said.

 

[jman2050]

Last night got me rewatching CCS, up to episode 7 now. This'll be a fun way to pass the time partially until 'that show' airs.

 

[trejo]

I'll break down the Blood-C staff to explain what to expect.

How will it look?

Director: Tsutomu Mizushima (XXXHolic)
Original Character Design: CLAMP (XXXHolic)
Animation Character Design: Kazuchika Kise (XXXHolic)
Art Director: Hiromasa Ogura [Ogura Kobo] (XXXHolic)
Animation Production: Production IG (XXXHolic)

It will look like XXXHolic. In other words, pretty faithful visual adaptation of CLAMP's design.

I expect nothing less than Jack Skellington caliber limbs.

 

[Lafiel]

I'm late (and i was asleep while it was going on) but here's my list guys http://myanimelist.net/animelist/lafiel !

Man, what the fuck is with this season. X-men, Hanasaku Iroha, Dororon Enma-kun Meeramera. That's 3 shows so far which cover completely different sorts of art style, genre, and appeal, and they're ALL good shows so far. What is happening?! noitaminA hasn't even STARTED, and there are still shows which have not aired yet! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

So cruel.

With CLAMP working so closely on a brand new original anime series not based on any of their manga for the first time ever, it will truly be something no one has seen before. Mix the potentially insane storytelling CLAMP can be known for along with the totally hit or miss Fujisaku who can write good scripts at one moment, and direct something totally worthless like Blood+ the next, and the result could be a story beyond our imagination.

Will definitely watch it since it's CLAMP. Maybe it can be the next CODE GEASS?

so let me get this straight
blood+ is boring
digimon movies > summer wars
and comparing a finished manga to an unfinished anime of totally different genres is acceptable?

im going to sleep
you guys are depressing

Only thing that could be considered objective here..

 

[jman2050]

You people and your pointless anime lists. Such a waste of time!

 

[duckroll]

If both CLAMP and Production IG really bring their A game to this, it will soooooooooo surpass Code Geass on every level. Sunrise is small time.

I presume you're talking about trolling, because I'm talking about trolling!

Hey, keep your monocle pointed at the anime, buddy.

Do you? I think you do, but don't realize that in thinking that you don't, you really do care what the others do and don't like.

On another note, is Sket Dance any good? I've been meaning to watch it, but Idk if I'm up for another shonen/comedy

 

[Hellsing321]

To be honest you're the first person I've seen with a positive opinion on Blood+.

 

[Crash Station]

Yes.

 

[Uchip]

Do you? I think you do, but don't realize that in thinking that you don't, you really do.

nah its all fun and games really
the idea of grown european men watching subtitled animation featuring panty shots and uguu moments of underage girls is quite comical

 

[Jex]

To be honest you're the first person I've seen with a positive opinion on Blood+.

Also, Shouta. That makes two!

thats funny because everyone irl (and outside gaf) that ive talked to loved it or at least liked it
its only coming to gaf that ive seen such a negative perspective

 

[iavi]

Yes.

Eh, I'll have to give it a go then.

queue that comic, it can't be far behind.

Unwritten rule of Anime-GAF. take something you don't care for and subtract your positivity towards it by 3. Only way into the monocle club.

I ain't euro, bro.

and u got a problem with the uguu?

You're surrounded by bad people.

I imagine that people with the correct opinion vastly outnumber the irregulars. Even if they don't know it.

Aoi Hana 1: So it was claimed that this was like, better than Wandering Son. It's not. Still good though.

Also, shiny hair. It started here.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Sure. I liked the first episode; it seems like a good high school comedy centered around appealingly eccentric characters and their antics as they try to solve other people's problems.

 

[Uchip]

I ain't euro, bro.

and u got a problem with the uguu?

more like i cant quite fathom the appeal

 

[iavi]

more like i cant quite fathom the appeal

The fuck are you doing on this side of town then? This is where we rob bitches and say uguu while doing it. That's the appeal. The sense of fear it strikes into your enemy. The sense of superiority that you get watching them cower.

Must be something in the water where you live.

im sorry but friends that dont mind gathering for anime screenings on a 100" projector are not bad people.

 

[Jex]

Something about European men?

 

[tiff]

nah its all fun and games really

My life isn't funny at all actually.

 

[Uchip]

the internet is your life?

 

[firehawk12]

Damn, who said that? Was it firehawk12?

It's pleasant enough. Exists somewhere in that zone of surprisingly decent shoujo ai animu along with Simoun ('cuz most of that stuff sucks.)

I'm not sure how I feel about comparing Aoi Hana to Simoun, considering that Simoun has silly wincest.

(Although, I suppose Aoi Hana opens with the lead sleeping with her cousin... but in Japan, that's okay!)

Twilight Q was a short-lived OVA series from the late 80s, inspired by The Twilight Zone, which seems to have existed to give young directors a chance to explore science fiction-y ideas in an episodic format. I watched the second episode, directed by Mamoru Oshii, which is as far as the series got - only two episodes were ever made, sadly.

Is the name meant to allude to The Twilight Zone?

 

[jman2050]

Guys, the moment you stop divorcing your internet discourse from your real life is the moment everything starts going down the shitter.

Be wary.

Is there some classic firehawk12 comment lurking on the horizon out there, beyond the waves?

Who said it was better than Wandering Son? From what I've seen it's generally thought to be worse, but still good.

This came up back when Cross Game was airing. Adachi supports cousin marriage too!

regardless of dimension

I don't remember anyone saying that. It was mentioned (iirc) that if one liked Wandering Son, they should like Aoi Hana as well.

 

[Jex]

I think it was 7th, when I was discussing direction.

I mean, there aren't that many choices of possible Gaffer!

Chaotic Century was amazing. I was never a fan of Zero, though.

This is where I sit as well. As I sit there, I clearly view it as the only correct stance.

 

[firehawk12]

I don't remember anyone saying that. It was mentioned (iirc) that if one liked Wandering Son, they should like Aoi Hana as well.

Perhaps I'll pull a doomed1 and suggest that thematically, Aoi Hana is a better adaptation than Hourou Musuko. That's probably about as far as I'd go anyway.

 

[Jex]

I don't remember anyone saying that. It was mentioned (iirc) that if one liked Wandering Son, they should like Aoi Hana as well.

I found it -

I find it almost baffling that someone would be able to enjoy Wandering Son but not Aoi Hana; specially since Aoi Hana is probably the superior show.

 

[Dresden]

I found it -

Hmm, my memory sucks. Too many damn posts in these threads.

Adachi did incest anime before it was popular.

I can respect that.

[QUOTE=icarus-daedelus]The comparison is only there because they're both decent and they both have girls kissing each other. (The immense power of which can be harnessed to fly aircraft, naturally!)

Aoi Hana is the Strike Witches of the Noise block!

Mmm hmm.

Clever! Even if it only lasted 2 episodes...

 

[trejo]

So, I just went and gave it a zero rating just to balance things out a bit. The description of that rating is pretty spot-on, too: "Worst ever, maybe useful as a sadistic torture device."

More like masochistic, in the case of you all.

Tezuka did incest...wait, Tezuka did everything. Why even bother mentioning him?

Not really, Adachi used to be all about the panty shots.

hes like the Thomas Edison of anime perversion

Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi ep 1

I think Im hooked for it this season. It was pretty awesome and had me laughing alot, mainly because of the faces, like above, and the passionate editor. Main character is so jaded too, easily likable though.

So is it like the OVA/Episode 0 where it's all "dude wants to sleep with the manager" or is that just an excuse for random hijinks about running a manga company?
