animegaf, im dissapointed yall didnt tell me akame ga kill is actually good, that crunchyroll cover kinda almost made me skip it, i didnt even know it was a manga!


also what anime is this awesome gif from?

This gif is nicely stupid.I want to source too !

Also Akame ga kill was praised nearly every week by people like me who enjoy how it's faithfully adapt the manga source material.

 

[BGBW]

It looks like Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san.

It is.

 

[FelixOrion]

I won't use MAL because it is 2weeb4me

You can always use Hummingbird. I use both.

You can search by using the English title I believe.

You can, but you can't set them in your own page to English, just the weeb-ass romanji. So, like, if I'm in my list and there's an entry that I don't remember that being the japanese name for, then I have to google.

It's better.

Looooooosheeeeeee

I shit you not. Looshee is second out of my only three anime waifus.

And yes TUSR I like it better. Those that say it isn't are largely made up of people who like Yamada.

What if I think Yamada is one of the worst characters in the show but I prefer Working!!?

 

[Firemind]

Yamada isn't the worst character in the show, but she is a terrible person yeah. Also, people who refer to themselves in the third person are weird.

That yandere is the worst character in the show. Can't even remember her name.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Then you've just given yourself away as the chameleonian. Though as long as your favorite character isn't the one that punches the guy the whole time it's all good. Because her character development was gone by the second season and she reversed to being horrible. If you like the sanji clone and the katana girl though I can't fault you.

My favourite is Kyouko Shirafuji.

[Finalow]

reading that everyone likes Barakamon I guess that I should start to watch it, I'll probably wait for this season to end. I'd also prefer if the anime just ended with this season, without following the manga which seems like it's still ongoing.

 

[zulux21]

you're really fucking weird

heh, thanks. I'll take that as a compliment as I find normal boring >.>

plus as I said before, there is a reason I run crazy maka as my avatar... it kind of fits my personality

 

[cajunator]

It was like talking to a brick wall. I have even more damning photos that pretty much confirm it's a bootleg. I'm uploading them now.

Yeah this whole thing has turned out so messy but with solid proof you should win this particular case.

You expect Anime-Gaf to actually talk to each others? We'll only be conversing via IRC, this thread, or group text.

No Game No Life 12

Whelp, that finale went in a direction I didn't expect. I hope another season gets made.

nah. I would hug all of you and talk to you until you got sick of me lol.

Im a quarter of the way through Hyouka and realized I will never be able to watch this again for the first time.

Well...thats true. Lots of shows I will never see again with unknowing eyes.

Trigger's Ino-Battle wa Nichijo-kei no Naka de PV1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni_KP1PLmoM

Oh. the white/pink haired girl is a cutie. This might be fun.

Admittedly I didn't try this one but the super-zany gag humor shows never really were my sort of thing.

Its more for people who enjoy things like Binbougami Ga. I sitll stand by that as the best metric because of the MC.

When they first did the OP songs for Hanasaku Iroha I wasn't quite fond of them, but I've become a fan over time.

I love that band so much. They do sound kind of nasally I suppose but its distinctive.

No thanks. I think I'd rather watch Non Non Biyori S2.

Me too

That Trigger's anime still not sounds as terrible as this

Well I can tell immediately what that girl is gonna be like and its already aggravating me.
Maybe at least they can make her like Niko from Accel World. that would be kind of hilarious.

Playing around with crunchyroll on chromecast.

This is super fucking cool.

What does chromecast do? Does it change the interface?

 

[survivor]

It's better.

Spoiler

Looooooosheeeeeee

I have been currently watching it and finding it better so far too. Of course it's still fresh to me so I'm still not worn out by its comedy style and imouto scenes have been completely awful so that may make me hate the series by the time it ends.

 

[Rhapsody]

For that new Trigger anime/adaptation thing, if I never looked it up, I wouldn't have guessed it was Trigger.

Although I'm kinda glad about that. Since some studios just stick to a similar art style even on adaptations.

 

[Vylash]

Thanks.

And is Servant x Service good too? I saw someone mention it last night.

SxS is like the polar opposite of good, you can watch it if you hate yourself and don't like entertaining shows I guess

 

[TUSR]

Well...thats true. Lots of shows I will never see again with unknowing eyes.

You're not part of the IRC group? Ive been thinking of joining you guys but it might be too much Chariot for me.

Whats your stance on Ryuko from KLK?

The style is so different than what I was expecting, im not sure if its a good or bad thing in this case.

Yeah, but it's a job for them. Got to get those adaptations for big companies while their studio can slowly grow.

There are blurays of the movies out.

3.33 (preorder)- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GS1DM2S/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I don't think there are any legal streams for the show though and the DVDs are OOP (crazy over priced now)

3.33 will never come out

Watch rebuild first just like I did. It's what all the cool chaps are doing. Also I don't think there are any legal options for streaming unfortunately.

nooooo. Doooont do this!
Rebuild is a much changed and edited version. FInd the original series. Dont judge it on Rebuild >_<

Arjuna 4

Not much to say about this one. Really beautiful episode. Just an old guy teaching some kids about nature, life, and the things we take for granted. Let nature run its course, don't interfere too much and things will be alright, for the most part.

It's also becoming increasingly clear that humans are most likely the cause of the Raaja coming to be. We're responsible for most, if not all of the damage the earth has accrued.

The ending song for this episode is another good one. Really beautiful.

Edit: ^ I sometimes feel as if I'm the only one on the planet who still hasn't seen all of Cowboy Bebop yet.

That orchestrated rendition of Mameshiba is GOOOOORGEOUS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEOu6RqGXYI

Strangely, it's streaming on Crackle. Or at least it was... so someone owns some piece of it.


Anime is getting retailer exclusive bonuses now?
Waiting for exclusive anime DLC.

I hate this retailer exclusive stuff. Even figurines are doing it now. It makes me so mad.

They preordered that hours ago lol

hmmm after inu x boku I need something new dubbed to watch...
how is from the new world?



it's pretty good I've finished the series twice.... I've seen the movie *does some math* 7 times I think (I watch it every Halloween)

From the New world is a legitimately excellent story. the atmosphere of the show is very unsettling and mysterious. Its a great experience.

No, but I've driven one.

Spoiler

Not a euphemism.

I've seen several episodes out of order over the years, but I've just never watched it from beginning to end for some reason. The episode I've seen the most is the one with the guy who was experimented on. He had an umbrella and the episode took place mostly at like a theme park. Pretty sad episode.

It's like every time Cowboy Bebop is on, it's always that episode I see.

Edit: I love Psycho Pass. Great show.

Mad Pierrot. Crazy episode.

My little monster 1

I can already tell that I'm going to enjoy this a lot.

Yes, I do believe you will. Natsume is hnnnnngh too. Holy hell her voice.

Basically pushes the stream on my phone to the TV.

I wonder what the issue was for Funi with 3.33. At least I got to see it in the theatrical run earlier this year.

Though I do like the Rebuild movies, I would agree with Cajun here, and seek out the original series + End of Evangelion first. If for no other reason than to have a basis for comparison with the Rebuild works.

Chihayafuruu - 06-07

So we get two new club members and a bunch, rather shallow, drama while upping the comedy a bit more. I'm hoping to see more of Arata soon as he's kinda the most interesting character so far.

It still hasn't really grabbed me strongly unfortunately. That may not happen before an exciting tournament happens.

Really not a fan of this art style as far as faces are concerned. It's not s.th. on the level of Clannad but the eyes, mouths and blush-streaks make the characters look rather derpy here and there.

Yeah the Karuta events are where it really took off for me. Some drama was ok but I was really into the sport. They manage to keep it pretty exciting, though it does drag a bit later on.

Well I certainly didn't expect the full version of the Tonari no Seki-kun OP would transform into flub-step.

Thats...what? I dont know how to feel about this.

I'm purposefully leaving out any names or events and sticking to my feelings alone.


It's still pretty good. And only in a couple spots really.

Kanahana's cute voice is the real jewel of that song. It's like butter.

And the ED is so good. Especially the full version.

Truth. Only way I made it through that. however this is an example of the short TV version being better.

The Severing Crime Edge - 01

So this is the crazy hair cutting and fetish edgy anime that wonzo hyping years ago, its just as weird as advertised.



The show opened with the hair cutting maniac protag go into this girl house that have insanely long hair, he suddenly fall in love with this girl and wishing can cut the girl's hair, the feeling is mutual because the girl also want her cursed hair cut.. the premise is that weird.

The show also have some oddly nicely animated scene such as





As picture above suggest, the show plot quickly revealing the plot about psychotic killer and their weird weapon, just add even more fuel to the already silly premise. Like you may have already get the gist, this gonna edgy as fuck.

But you know what, this first episode is surprisingly very well directed.. despite the silly plot, dialogue, and scene.. somehow its have weight behind it, the directing seem holding each scene tightly and use some visual/camera language to ensure these scene not get ironically funny (but of course you can also grasp it this way) with nicely placed music too.




This last scene is rather sweet, with how its perfectly build up and executed although still twisted as hell, what a weird show.

Now I kinda wishing the same studio and director handling Akame Ga Kill instead White Fox.

This show and Dog and scissors are some of the most bizarre anime I have yet seen. Perhaps not coincidentally both contain scissors and can be just downright creepy at times.

1. Acchi Kocchi requires intensive training in withstanding moenukes

This is quite accurate.

 

[cajunator]

Thanks.

And is Servant x Service good too? I saw someone mention it last night.

Its pretty good. SOme would say better for the

Spoiler

romantic bits

but this kind of show is more a comedy to me and I like Working better.

I need to add those to my queue. I'm finally building an anime backlog. It sucks

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We're so happy you could attend. Step inside step inside.

heh, thanks. I'll take that as a compliment as I find normal boring >.>

plus as I said before, there is a reason I run crazy maka as my avatar... it kind of fits my personality

I know what you mean. Normal, as far as just going with what the majority likes, is often boring and there are more intriguing things on the periphery. Such is where I like to lay my own head.

You're not part of the IRC group? Ive been thinking of joining you guys but it might be too much Chariot for me.

Whats your stance on Ryuko from KLK?



The style is so different than what I was expecting, im not sure if its a good or bad thing in this case.

Ryuko is alright. Shes an edgy protagonist thrust into a rather insane world. Im not sure what people expected from her.

I still dont really understand Karuta well but one thing this show does really well is building tension throughout the matches. Its gripping and gets you really invested. Music is lovely as well.

I hope theres another season of it

Happiness Charge Precure 27

"I didn't fall in love! Yeah!" Kinda a bullshit way of getting out of that love triangle.

Our long international nightmare known as Precure Memory is finally over. Though the new ED isn't exactly great. But hey, it's bearable! Also got me to stick around for next episode's preview, and I have to say the concept of them

going into another territory to help other Precure

I feel like I should just get around to reading it at this rate though...

Momo Kyun Sword 06

I should've known this was coming since the Celestial Maidens' CD was announced before the anime even begun, and as an idol episode of a non-idol anime, I enjoyed it. Momoko momentarily took the background, and the fight at the end, no big problems with it. The barrage of light arrows striking down the oni was kinda enjoyable. Though I'd also love to see Onihime as an idol. Turn this into a war of singers and I'll really feel like it's Koihime again.

Ikkitousen Dragon Destiny 01-03

Speaking of.

A new director, a new studio and a four year break in between have done quite a few things for this show, and surprisingly, a lot of them are positive. The animation doesn't look nearly as cheap, the show doesn't feel nearly as exploitative, and the narrative switching focus to those three from the Peach Garden has made the show feel more grounded, cuter, though not without its fights. I loved this trio in their Koihime incarnation - they were the main characters, even - and having Kannu be a main and Ryuubi being a simple book lover works. The animation isn't taking nearly as many shortcuts - or at least as many that I can spot - and the pacing feels better, too. And the opening finally fits with the show's tone!

The plot thread of "fighting against destiny" remains, and the dragon spirits are being expanded on. Like Hakufu herself said in the preview, I'm surprised it took them three episodes to show the main heroine, but it was a welcome diversion. The opening fight with Ryomou was also pretty competently directed. There's going to be more of the show under this team than the first season, and so far it looks like most of the kinks have been worked out. I hope it can keep this up.

I think the speculation was that people back in Japan were not happy with the Dub so Funi has to do it over.

you are looking at 3 different seasons
season 1 fmp complete series
season 1.5/spin off fumoffu
and season 2 second raid.

while I enjoyed FMP quite a bit it's not for everyone... it's often not enough of a mech show for mech fans, and not enough of a comedy for comedy fans, you have to enjoy both in order to truly enjoy FMP.
