I refuse to watch lewd mermaid shows, so I don't have to rate it!
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
After three episodes:
OP/ED:
- favorite: Gargantia
- most interesting: Aku no Hana
- will probably drop before episode six: Valvrave
- most likely to inadvertently spoil someone on: Attack on Titan
- surprise of the season: Hataraku Maou-sama
- best comedy: Muromi-san
- biggest disappointment: Azazel-san Z
OP/ED:
- best: Muromi-san
- runner-up: Railgun if you mute it and skip the first twenty seconds or so
- interesting if, like a sandwich, you took it apart and looked at individual parts but once assembled it doesn't actually work, like that Subway sub that you asked for the wrong sauce on: Attack on Titan
- best ED: Attack on Titan, up until Eren shows up
- best ED.2: Gargantia
- best song: Aku no Hana
The power of Sat from fripside.
I like his song composition for Accel's world ED and OP2.
You're missing out.
Only 15 mins per episode, probably not missing that much!
That so lame, dude.
I don't know, the music on S2 Railgun was okay but they almost all delivered the same experience for me, skipping them directly to get to the story. Only on the first time I see the OP of a series I let them play in full once every 3 or 4 episodes. But all of Index and Railgun, I skip them right away after watching them once in full.

And the Yang Rebellion begins!
The episodes sure get a lot bloodier when the Rosen Ritter are involved.
Lennenkanpt's suicide gambit failed. Muckily, there are women in the rebellion corps!
Reinhard is gonna be incredibly angry once he hears about all of this.

Someone's gone mad with perceived power.
Now I know how Makoto feels with his gigantic penis! It all makes sense to me now.
I'm official withdrawing my support for Attack on Titan's OP under "best direction". It was a mistake. After further analysis I have concluded that the entire OP is a fraud. A deception. The impression the OP gives most people is that it has to be well directed because it seems to fit the song so well and everything works.
The truth? The song is the Anime OP equivalent of the Guile Theme. It works with pretty much anything, as long as there are repeated motions, fast motion, and most importantly visual garbage on screen. There are over a dozen parody OPs using the song, and they all work relatively well at the bare minimum even with zero effort. Those with actual effort put in work amazingly well. Good direction is not required.
FRAUD!

I have a question for all the anime watchers out there.
What are some good anime TV shows worth watching over the past 5 or 6 years?
I have started watching Shingeki no Kyojin which is really cool.
The last time I was into anime was a long time ago back when Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop came out. I kind of stopped watching anime in 2005 as the transition to Blu Ray happened where I decided to stop buying DVD's.
So please recommend some shows, don't mind what genre or whether it's available on Blu Ray or not.
I have and am planning to watch Death Note and Monster. If it also helps I do love mecha shows and Serial Experiments Lain and Boogiepop Phantom are some other favorites of mine.

How many bollywood synced videos with the song that you've watched today?
Pack it up guys, the best Shingeki no Kyojin MAD is here.
GIRLS UND SHINGEKI

This video actually got effort and effects which makes it ten times better than those souless shingeki guile MADs.

That sorted one works really well. It takes a few seconds, but this is much better than the ones I tried out earlier from this thread. Some of it still needs work, ie I have a "Seikai no Senki III," but all the rest of the series are under their English names. There are a couple of other examples like that.
Let's get these out of the way because everyone is going to recommend them:
Movies:
- Sword of the Stranger
- Redline
Series:
- Gurren Lagann
- Samurai Champloo
OVAs:
- Gundam Unicorn
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
Even though they're not remotely similar to the kind of stuff you like, I'd at least recommend Nichijou, Toradora, and Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt. And if you have a high tolerance for VERY Japanese humor and don't mind reading a companion blog that explains some of the more obscure jokes, Joshiraku is extremely good.
Oh yeah, maybe try Black Rock Shooter TV as well.
You can also check out 2012 anime of the year thread picked by gaf.

Come post in the new OT as well, dude!

You'll be the first set of new impressions there.
Not all shows but if it's listed under shows it works.

Oh. If you're in AU, then one of my recommendations (Nichijou) isn't available on CR there. But Madman Entertainment streams it on their site exclusively for AU, so you're still covered.

That's why you should have just ranked it arbitrarily without labelling it 'best direction'!
As a side note, the best non-Bollywood parody is obviously this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptjEpQZzH_A
Oh ha ha ha. True, most region-locked stuff is usually U.S. based and blocked to other people looking in, but this is still a low blow.
(and yes, I realize Xam'd is available on CR for U.S. people anyway)

Thanks for that .... and how does Duckroll know about Madman?
Duckroll is based in the singapores? I don't know if that has anything to do with it actually
Patlabor: Early Days - Episode 3
I should have known when Ohta was using Baltan as target practice that this was going to be something special. I'm guessing that this is based on the same story that movie 3 used as it's basis just to a more hilarious effect. There was also an episode of Big O that shares some similar ideas but i have no idea if that's a coincidence or some of the same staff worked on Big O.
Wasn't really expecting the lighter tone but i'm really enjoying the OVA's so far.

I don't think it hurts to have an awareness of anime distributors around the world - particularly when so many anime don't get physical releases everywhere. Madman and Siren Visual in Australia are great for cheap collections or weird releases you don't get anywhere else (DENNOU COIL AND KAIBA), and are particularly useful for Europeans now that the BD regions match up.
Back in the day, I bought Pretear from Odex in Singapore because it was super cheap and region free, although it took a while to get used to the characters saying "Yap!" all the time. Are Odex still going? I thought they hit a bit of a rough patch after that filesharing scaremongering they did a while back.

I thought only Australian's would know about them, sorry. lol
Australia now has Hanabee too.

As BluWacky mentioned, Madman is the only distributor who has released Denno Coil on home video in English, anywhere in the world. It's a pretty big deal for some of us!
Edit: I'm stupid. Sorry Siren Visual!
Those classification ratings are HUGE!
