Nada. There have been some good FMA episodes and the first two episodes of Canaan were pretty awesome, but thus far there have been no stand outs, IMO, much like the last several seasons.Pein said:what are the good shows this season? but no moe or loli crap please.
Can you believe that got a sequeljman2050 said:Queen's Blade
Decado said:Can you believe that got a sequel?I haven't seen it, but I have to assume it is crap
Decado said:Because Alucard is my favourite character in the series and I've never read the manga...
BTW, based on how quickly the ova series is progressing, how many more episodes would you say are left?
I am both disappointed and pleased that the series is approaching the end. On one hand the upcoming Hellsing OVA's are among the very, very few bright spots on the anime calander, but on the other, I'll finally get to watch the whole series all the way through.duckroll said:Well, the OVA comes out really fucking slowly, but Vol6 covered up to the end of Vol6 of the manga, and Vol7 should be most if not all of Vol7 of the manga. The manga is 10 volumes long, so we're looking at 2-3 more releases after this year.... which means at least another year or two. Lol.
Lafiel said:It dosen't really, the show always had a serious tone that was present in the second half, but in the first half it was split between the light-hearted moments and the serious stuff. The second half just went away from those light-hearted moments and went completely 100% serious. Which suits the show really, makes it more like the manga. Which barely had any comedy compared to the anime.
Kandrick said:I watched Kanamemo for the first time yesterday, up until the 6, and i agree. Its very funny, i am liking it so far, but the loli + yuri isnt for everyone i guess :lol
Busou Renkin might interest you because it's almost like a parody of shonen.Decado said:I have a lot of time on my hands these days. Are there any Shonen shows worth watching recently? I don't particularly like them, but for some reason I can kill an enormous amount of time speading through them. I haven't seen any in several years.
Did Naruto ever get back on track? What about Bleach? Is One Piece still entertaining (despite the billions and episodes and movies that have already run)?

firehawk12 said:For some reason, I decided to check out that Juuden-chan thing... and I find the concept of older women lusting over tween girls kind of disturbingly hilarious. I suppose at least Kanamemo admits that it's creepy. :lol
MelloBoy said:uh...Juuden-chan is just lewdness (nipples and cameltoes) and no older women lusting over lolis...i think you have series mixed up![]()

Would watching anime in Japanese be a good way of learning spoken Japanese? I'm not going to be living in Japan at least for another year, but I really want to speak at least /some/ before I make the journey. Anime is really the most readily available format of Japanese entertainment for me. Would it be a good aid?
I've learned reading and writing in Hirgana, and some introductions/grammar rules.
If you don't need action to keep your interest, Bakemonogatari.Pein said:what are the good shows this season? but no moe or loli crap please.

It's good for picking up on phases and such, but it's not really recommended, since most anime is overdramatized and not representative of how actual japanese people talk, plus they use alot of words that aren't used in actual japanese conversations either.ProudClod said:I know I should ask this in the Learning Japanese thread, but I didn't get a reply for my last question, so I'll ask here.

Big B said:When's the next episode of Taisho era girl baseball coming out darn it.
Yes, also good OST and it gets into WTF territory at some point.kiryogi said:Sorta sad no ones looked at it, but if you're into murder mystery. Check out Umineko Naku no Koro ni. The designs are just about right, no offensive territory like the above. However, the chars can be creepy as hell.
Liked the OST, but couldn't get past the first few episodes. Seems like a kiddie mystery show (even if it has dark elements) and the little girl just pissed me of. Couldn't stand her.Tetsuo9 said:Yes, also good OST and it gets into WTF territory at some point.Uuuuuuuu~~...

I don't think you could call it a kiddie mystery show after the second episode. :lolDecado said:Liked the OST, but couldn't get past the first few episodes. Seems like a kiddie mystery show (even if it has dark elements) and the little girl just pissed me of. Couldn't stand her.
Dude, you're missing out big time. I've read the visual/sound novel and I can tell you that it is definitely not "kiddie". It gets pretty gruesome and violent later on. Don't believe me? Wait for the next episode of the anime, episode 8 I believe. First twilight.Decado said:Liked the OST, but couldn't get past the first few episodes.

Oh my God, no, just no. That show kicks ass.Decado said:Didn't see the fuss about that show. I thought a merchant anime may be interesting, but it didn't seem very well done and I hated the wolf character.
Must see.firehawk12 said:This week was actually a fun episode. Sort of like that "criminal catching" episode in Cross Game taken to the next logical slapstick extreme.
I guess next week is the awkward "are we really engaged" episode with random yuri jealousy thrown in.
mAcOdIn said:Anyone see Pandora Hearts 20?
WTF????
The show's really hit and miss, I'm still following it because sometimes it's really cool and the music does kick ass as someone else said in the Spring thread, but man was episode 20 and the one a few episodes earlier just totally weird. Or weirder than usual Pandora Hearts episodes.
Maybe he meant kiddie in the sense that the plot is stupid.Hellsing321 said:I don't think you could call it a kiddie mystery show after the second episode. :lol
I'm curious if everyone getting chummy together is foreboding that some of them are going to finally die or if it'll go a safe route and through team work they all come out in the end ok.Lain said:I keep watching it because sometimes it is weirdly fun and it has a kind of dark atmosphere I like, but the latest episodes were weak and the way things are looking, I'm not sure I'm gonna like where things are gonna go.
