lol...oddly enough, that's how it appeared to me even before you posted that pic, lol, now it's worst. I don't think I'll ever be able to take any Yuki segments seriously.
C 2 - Yep biggest disappointment of 2011, how could nakamura create something so cliche, and fill it with so much cheap animation and terrible cg? i mean come on nakamura you can do way better than this..
Yet at the same time i seriously cannot wait to watch the next episode, and there is still some potential for it to either become really good or really bad.. awesome trainwreck indeed.:lol
All i hope is it doesn't become something mediocre in the long run, that's worse than being really terrible, because it's forgettable.

That was... really weird. This is very different than [C]. Don't know if I really want to watch any more.

Ano Hana 2
Link cables? Pfft, that's so eight years ago. Does no one have a Ninpendo DZ?
Actually intrigued to see where this goes. Yukiatsu is a creep and the other girl is a bitch, probably gonna be some prime melodrama involving those two.
Also why the hell does a ghost need to take a bath? Really now?

Yes I got the point I'm not stupid.

The first episode is the weakest. Keep watching - it becomes progressively more awesome.cosmicblizzard said:
Anohana episode 2 was more or less on-par with the first episode - not much to say about that as it's continuing the same mood present in episode 1 with the same level of direction and writing.
Personally that "thing" didn't really bother me in the slightest, then again this is coming from someone who watched Koi kaze which more or less had the same thing except it was worse!
Although to make that comparison koi kaze at least portrayed it as something immoral and wrong, i have no idea what they are saying about it in anohana mmm..

It's technically episodic, but it doesn't feel that way. All of the stories take place at the same time, and you'll notice them interacting with each other as you go on. The last episode is an effective climax to the series. You really should watch it.cosmicblizzard said:

is this the right thread for asking about anime recommendations?
i'm looking for animes that have really awesome action, with quality animation, and hopwfully an interesting story to go along with it.
I liked naruto anime and bleach since it had awesome fights and story. don't watch them anymore cuz honestly i lost track of where i was and i stopped reading bleach manga period cuz it just became a boring 'beat then next stronger person' story..(i am considering starting reading the manga again tho)
i really liked full metal alchemist brotherhood, and i have tengen toppa guren lagan so i'll watch that sometime. i also plan on watching code geass, im just having trouble finding a good download of the first season in high def.
other than those are there animes u guys recommend? movies count too.
-no dbz, series is too long for me to start

I'll check out more, but no promises I'll like it. I usually like weird stuff, but I thought the first ep was really boring.

I only watch Fairy Tail mostly for the boobs, and because I think the different kinds of magic are interesting.
Rave Master was definitely more interesting because it had Let who was a badass motherfucker. Also the manga's ending is probably one of the best since it concludes the whole HaruxEllie thing which a bunch of other anime have but never do anything about and that really fucking pisses me off.
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko 2
Dat Shaft Head-tilt.
Evidence for my "cousin is an ostracized autistic/trauma victim" theory falls into place, but I still wonder. There was some bothersome mood dissonance between when they got back from the trip to the beach and the aunt told the story. Plus this much exposition so soon in that category gives me the idea that maybe, just maybe, that they'll go back on the amnesiac story and say "LOL she really was abducted by aliens *awesomeface*" To which I will give my rageface and walk away. Another bothersome element is that she's a trauma victim, which would imply that her condition is acute rather than terminal, meaning she can be "fixed". It's all slightly bothersome really, but it'll likely end in dramatics where Erio will recover her lost memories with the help of boring, undersexed main character.
It's really too bad because they could have gone into certain cultural issues of shame and ostracization when it comes to the mentally handicapped in Japanese culture within the frame narrative of slightly off kilter, pretty-sure-it's-fake-but-still "alien" narrative. The dialogue and monologue systems seemed attuned to that sort of thing, only hinting at the more serious nature behind everything before bringing it down on a steady slope of "this is a serious issue", barreling towards a painful, but circumstantially "good" end.
Still, beats the "WOOOOooooOOOooOOOOooOOOOooo~! Aliens~!" BS that I was afraid of. It still could be though, and that would be a disappointment.
Also, that E.T. reference with the ending was BOSS.

I see you like shounen action shows like so i recommend One piece, its better then brotherhood and those other two.
its only 494 episode so far, hope you enjoy
Before duckroll gets here, I recommend Sword of the Stranger. A most excellent action movie.bigboss370 said:is this the right thread for asking about anime recommendations?

For a series, I'd say Hajime no Ippo. As long as you don't have any dislike of sports anime it's very good action.

i watched 50 or so episodes of one-piece and a friend of mine tried to get me into it, but it just didn't work for me. it just has ridiculous characters, the fights didn't flow and kept getting cut to other scenes, and the story wasn't all that great either and didn't move forward much..
does fairy tail have good action and story? i remember i started readin it a long time ago but for some reason didn't continue.

Yo.
Maison Ikkoku EP2
That little boy is a genius with the bloodline limit of secret clan cockblockers.
I seen a bit of this show before as kid a long time ago(1997) only remembered after seen akemi(don't know why)
Weird I don't think I ever seen some one not like one piece after watching it.
then how about hajime no ippo?

Fairy Tail has good action, but you might not like it if you don't like One Piece. The first few arcs aren't really that good.

i remember liking fairy tail up to wherever i read though, i thought it had interesting characters and powers, dunno about story. im gonna start reading it again so i'll see.
with one piece there were a few good moments for me, but just not enough overall to warrant my continuous attention. i remember this one part where Lufi had to go against the smoker guy and i thought to myself holy shit this fight is gonna be really interesting...and it never happened
and then when fights did happen there were just too many breaks in between to show other stuff..When i think about it what really makes the show a disappointment is it just isn't as stylistically interesting as his other works, I'm actually finding myself quite intrigued by the story and setting (despite being cliche) and what possible directions it's going take over the course of it's run.icarus-daedelus said:

I agree that OP takes too long for fights to happen. However, when they do, it usually pays off. I was getting REALLY impatient between Arlong's defeat and the defeat of the next major antagonist which was VERY far away. When it finally did happen, I said "holy shit" out loud and OP became one of my favorite series ever. The buildup is there for a reason and I really wouldn't change it with the exception of the Skypiea arc (much later after you dropped it).
I would suggest maybe try out the manga since you can absorb the same amount of story and action in a lot less time. If you like it, maybe go back to the anime only for specific scenes. It has some amazing action later on that a fan of shounen stuff like you would like. Of course if you just weren't enjoying yourself at all in the East Blue arcs, then don't bother. Not for everyone.
