Mushishi is about as close as you can get to a perfect television show. Each episode is its own self-contained masterpiece about the sweet and bitter consequences of humans getting mixed up with the supernatural. You should definitely check it out, especially now that we're getting a second season.
Nah, you're explaining it fine. To a certain extent, we probably aren't thinking of the series the same way because you read the manga and I watched the OVAs, lol. Plus, it's not like I didn't like it. I enjoyed it, but I just enjoyed the first OVAs better.
Lol, wow. With recommendations like these, how can I not get excited for it? I'll probably check it out when I have more time. OVAs are easier to find time for than a series but hopefully I can make the time somewhere.
Looks and sounds terrible.
I just read the description for Coffin Princess Chaika from Crunchyroll and, unless the manga is massively different from the light novels, the description is really misleading. It sounds like he's a normal person who gets transported into a magical fantasy world and that's completely not the case, lol.

The fantasy follows a hikikomori, who, went sent out of the house to find a job, successively meets a silver-haired girl carrying a coffin, is attacked by a unicorn and is sent to a fantasy world.
lol
but gothic loli + supersize weapons = why not?
Sounds so good
This....oh this looks Niiiice.
So here's how I would describe Coffin Princess Chaika:
The main character, Toru Acura, was someone who was bred for war, but the war ended before he could fight. Because of this, he spends his time lazing (hence the hikkomori description). He is supported by his sister, also bred for war, who takes jobs from the guild both belong to for money. She eventually forces the main character into looking for work, and he runs into a magician who is being attacked (by a unicorn lol). After saving her, she asks to hire them to help her retrieve magical items that she is looking for and the three go on their journey.
Lol, it isn't anything amazing but the Crunchyroll description sounds awful. Using a bad description like that and loading it with words like hikkomori makes it feel like it's one of those, "Regular otaku gets sent to a magical world," and that's not what it's about.

Sounds like it's right up your alley.
Oh but it could be! The magic of adaptation.

Better than gothic lolita with miniature jets?
This isn't really spoilers, but their cover doesn't get blown by birds because birds and dogs hate going near the mecha with their ECS/Invisibility mode engaged. Something about the ECS having a strong ozone smell and being visible to birds still. The basic idea is average animals don't go near an Arm Slave.
Nothing is as good as General Septum. That's a gold standard.
Sousuke balancing his career and his feelings for Kaname's a big part of his character in the show.

If you haven't seen it yet, put it at the top of your priority list.
I really should rewatch it soon.
Senran Kagura is on my list for exactly that reason.
*looks up on youtube*
Hah, that's pretty good, but there are better examples in this world. Like I said, you need to branch out.
There's also the AB Group dub of DBZ movies 1-9, but those are harder to come by.
No, this is the bad kind of terrible. The kind that shits up each and every season with it's generic blandness. Pastiche tripe swimming in a sea of bad LN writing.
Ep 7 was actually p. good.

wait! Does Senran Kagura have miniature jets?
Mysterious Girlfriend X 7
I was considering dropping this show as the episode progressed, but then Jrabe showed Tsubaki's locker tag on her thigh, which convinced me to give it one more chance. She really is carrying the whole show on her back now. Its become pretty standard romcom material otherwise.

I really should get around to start watching the second season of FMP. Such a likable cast.
Samurai Champloo - 19
Crazy to see Christianity used as a cult. I actually wonder how the Japanese rulers dealt with Christianity back in the day. Some of Jesus's language really makes it sound like the religion is aimed at overthrowing the authorities (King of Kings and Lord of Lords). Wouldn't be the first time it got the religion in trouble.

working on some lineart so I can just leave it on in the background.
These are amazing. I still have the links from when this thread was talking about one of the movies:

Naruto Dub ~24
Caught up with Toonami's airing of the dub, Naruto is still the worst popular thing I've ever experienced. Naruto himself is incredibly annoying and I never want to root for him, Sasuke is an ass and Sakura is just as annoying as Naruto. The only decent character is Kakashi mostly cause he trolls the shit out of his team. The Chunin exam is the first really great arc and so far the anime has done a good job of adapting it, far better then the way they adapted the land of waves arc seriously that was horribly dragged out for no reason.
Now that I'm caught up on that dub I guess I'll start on
Bleach Dub 1-4
Early Bleach really was fantastic, English cast as a whole is great and sucks me into the world. JYB gonna JYB as Ichigo but as I'm a fan of JYB I'm not going to complain. I plan give the various filler arcs a chance to at least be entertaining, if they're awful I'll just skip them.

Rankings: Origami = Tohka > Yoshino >>>>>>>>>>>> Kurumi
How does Kurumi have money to spend?
Is Tohka aware that Shido's got this harem thing he's gotta do? I mean, Yoshino knows it already and is cool with it.

I guess she could have just stolen it from the people she ate

Yes
It seems like the sort of show animeGaf would love. I dont get it either.

Do you know anything about the light novel? I like the manga, but it's monthly and hasn't gotten too far.

Sasuke's english voice is perfect and amazing. I always read the manga/doujin imagining that as his voice. The anime really took off for me once they got out of the forest stuff and was just into the room for the ones on ones and etc.
The Bleach filler arcs are at least worth seeing for the fights, only one thats slightly not good is because of a really annoying character.
Punishable by death from the sakoku to the Meiji restoration.
Dont fuck with Mirai.
IF you dont die from her cuteness she will not hesitate to produce a gun or jet from her dress and destroy you.
For fun.

Not myself since i've seen/read neither the manga nor the novel but i have a friend that won't stop talking about it.
From what i've gathered both have similar stories.
Now that there is an anime , i might have another reason to start reading this one

Sorry if I was unclear, the only English voice I dislike is Sakura not because the voice doesn't match the character but because half the time her actress doesn't sound into the role and when she is it's always for the annoying scenes like the inner monologues or the awkward "Oh Sasuke" scenes. I think Yuri Lowenthal does a fantastic job as Sasuke, my complaint is really more with the actual plot and direction the series took. Kind of like my issue with Attack on Titan manga that I've argued before in the manga thread.
Like I expected. Did they take the same offense the Romans did (considering them rebellious) or was it merely religious purity?

Damn, what happened to the art in this episode? Did the budget run out?

Ah, yissss.
That's not a mudkip. Why is this not a mudip?
If I told you that the jet came out of a black hole from under her skirt and she then rode off on it to escape, does this make it any better?

I'm hoping it gets a decent staff working on it. The anime should be pretty entertaining. It's a pretty clean fantasy as far as anime goes (doesn't break the fourth wall or reference otaku culture at all if I remember correctly).
