You haven't finished Bebop? Or started it?

I shouldn't really be surprised, you've been too busy with Samurai Girls and Infinite Stratos.

I haven't started Bebop. And Infinite Stratos is the show of the year. It's down to Sister vs France!

Hmm... did it took long?

The replace form is up, there is hope!

I did it when they first announced the program but before they had any details, so I don't remember. But I think people got their discs the a couple of weeks after they announced that they were shipping them out. I'm in Canuckistan, so it probably took a bit longer.

Yeah the music was pretty good. Of course the best thing about Initial D was that it inspired the greatest doujinshi ever made:

Holy fuck, that's awesome.

Don't decide to watch or dislike a sports anime based on the sport. It's one of the biggest problems the genre faces. I don't know I can watch X because I don't like the sport. You don't have to like the sport.

You don't even to like any sport.

I only rarely skip opening but usually skip endings. Mostly because endings nearly always get the least effort put into them.

They are usually an afterthought, by the looks of the majority of them.

 

[hellclerk]

I think doomed's real problem with Madoka is the lack of a creepy 4th-wall-breaking otaku to pant over the girls.

It would certainly make it funnier. :lol

But no :|

They are endings....

Not bothering with spoilers at all. I'll post this each time I'm talking about this.

Glass Fleet - 02

An unknown ship was spotted out of nowhere before Michel was about to surrender himself to the enemy commander at the end of episode 1. A battle begins and the unknown ship soon finishes the battle by piercing the battleship using itself as a weapon like a bullet.

The unknown ship goes to ransack Michel's ship, and Michel's butler remarks how they're probably pirates. Before they leave, Michel asks the leader to take him and his crew along with their group (his butler and maid really), but he gets rejected. So instead of becoming stranded in space, waiting for capture, and most likely executed, he says, Michel asks the leader to take him with him or to kill him. Cut over to a scene where Vetti eventually orders for the death of the messenger of bad news after listening to him - the commander of the failed operation; the Pope arrives after to discuss Vetti's marriage to his daughter. At the end of the episode, I find out the leader's name is Cleo, who's apparently the descendant of the royal family supposedly killed 20 years ago turned pirate. His ambition I guess is to conquer the galaxy in incremental steps, winning and winning he says. Also, Cleo says he'll conquer the strongest guy in the galaxy (Vetti huh).

Also, male Rie Kugimiya voice. Didn't think she get another role like this.

 

[trejo]

Its' hardly like I'm praising Legend of the Overfiend, or something!

Pretty fun to watch with friends MST3K style, actually.

 

[Branduil]

It would certainly make it funnier. :lol

But no :|

Why don't we just have InfiniteNine add a commentary track just for you. It would be almost the same thing.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

There are certainly more great openings than there great endings, but there are plenty of the latter as well. A lot of series are more willing to do zany or weird things with their endings than they are with the openings, too.

France stopped being cool, though. It was around the time when she stopped wearing pants and became Char.

Sister victory.

 

[Jex]

Only reason I made it is because I had a lengthly conversation with Firehawk over heteronormitivity and yuri! Also I bashed Madoka. I don't really very often post much in these threads.

It's not about how much you post, it's about how angrily you are remembered!

You're hovering betwen B and C. Being newer, there's not enough data for an accurate ranking.

It's hard to argue with such a solid list.

I think Kaiji is dumb, does that count? Bad story, drowning in worse art, surrounded by dull and unlikable characters. Seriously.

Who let you in?

I can't think of many iconic scenes in Eva that don't involve at least one person in an Eva.

Well that's because the Eva's are of course our protagonists, covered in metal and WRIT LARGE to make their actions more exciting and dramatic.

Well, time to fill, wait and cross fingers...

True. I enjoyed Hanamaru, but the endings were definitely the best part of the shows.

The first Soul Eater ending also had more effort put into it than most

France stopped being cool, though. It was around the time when she stopped wearing pants and became Char.

Sister victory.

When does Infinite Statos end? I'll do a marathon later!

One would think that'd be an improvement, no?

 

[Jex]

That's why I said majority.

With Derrida as my witness, they shall not see the morning light! >

Did I mention deconstruction today? I feel that I should have done.

Come on now, how can you not like Kaiji? He's the ultimate survivor!

Not to mention a suffering pariah!

I watched the first episode of Akagi and thought it sucked, which is why I haven't watched Kaiji yet.

It's not like you haven't been told that you're crazy for doing that!

 

[Dresden]

Marathon? Don't marathon. Follow my episode guide.

Not at all. She became just another haremblob after that. Before, she was goddess. It's amazing how a pair of pants can affect a relationship.

 

[flawfuls]

There is little point in watching Infinite Statos if you're not watching it alongside your comrade in arms. In fact there is little point in watching even if you are.

Aria the Natural 1: What a lovely return to the series and for me an excellent segue into the second season...

You're trying to clear firehawk12 by overloading his mono no aware censors!

I watched the Kaiji Live Action movie and it was the biggest POS I had the misfortune of spending money on.

This is why I haven't touched the show. And the art.

Another madman. Why would you watch a live-action adaptation of an anime or manga? And then use it to judge the original material?

There's entirely too much K-On love in this thread, something must be done about this.

It says something troubling about anime fandom if this is considered cute.

Do I really need to see the Utena movie?...

Yes. Now.

Not really. If you're in the kind of mindframe where you are just going to read the show as such, it's not really going to be a reasonable critical appraisal.

Something something too much Madoka love something moe something something something Infinite Stratos something.

Norimitsu Suzuki EDs are all pretty damn great. His work includes:

Soul Eater's first ED
Kaiji's ED
Eureka Seven's first two EDs
Fullmetal Alchemist's EDs, all four of them

I'm being facetious...

Wait, people actually read every single post in these threads?

Is there some other way to do it?

You're catching on.

Yeah, I just read the current page and the previous one if more than 2 pages have elapsed since I looked at the thread. :3

Pretty much the best part of that show!

Who needs Jexhius when you have the magical power of angst and despair of Japanese adolescent schoolgirls at your disposal?

Then you're missing all the subplots!

 

[InfiniteNine]

Pretty much the best part of that show!

I liked the rest of the show more. ):

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Please. Like anyone posting in these threads doesn't have enough free time to read each and every post made.

 

[Jex]

The only movie I'm concerned about is Redline. Is that ever coming out?????

I hear it's vaporware.

Real answer: one day. It's like Valve time.

oreimo is pretty good when kirino isn't in it

Wow, someone subbed Umasou! I knew it was the right idea to hold off on it.

And rejoice, shintoki! The OVA of that DEEN yaoi show is out!

Kirino = best character in oreimo!

 

[Hellsing321]

Eh the new episode was pretty crappy until Fujoshi girl showed up. Until then it was just Kuroneko acting like Kirino.

 

[firehawk12]

I was kind of put off by how some dude knocked up his student, married her and then took her to America. :lol

I suppose it was cute though!

 

[Branduil]

I'm watching the Time of Eve movie right now, it's really wonderful. Nice to see some of these backgrounds in high resolution too.

I'm fairly certain this scene wasn't in the ONA series.

That's one lovingly painted plate of eaten spaghetti.

[zeroshiki]

Another madman. Why would you watch a live-action adaptation of an anime or manga? And then use it to judge the original material?

Because I didn't know it was based off an anime/manga at the time and it starred Light AND L as the main leads T_T

It was horrible.

 

[Jex]

As a gentlemanly scholar, I'm only interested in sister/brother relationships and so I'll have to vehemently disagree.
