So, are you going to post a more detailed write up? I only ask because I've noticed a lot of people posting on twitter about anime that they're watching but not actually posting on GAF.
This isn't really an issue except that I don't really feel like writing long responses via twitter as it seems kind of silly. It's not something I'd want to do for every show, of course, but some of the Gundam shows deserve a bit more discussion as does Hunter x Hunter.
So what's the deal with Free episode 13?
Nothing on Crunchyroll but was teased at the end of 12.
Perhaps while I'm in the process of slowly walking down the hallway you could have a narrator explain those points to me even though it's pretty clear what they will be.Actually yeah but later as that last third of episodes had some major problems.

The Rose of Versailles - 03
Well this episode was fucking hilarious. Marie Antoinette crosses hairs with a dubious woman named Madame du Barry, who apparently cheated her way into power from off of the streets and into the king's lap. What occurs through the episode is basically a "MY DRESS IS FRILLIER THAN YOURS!" campaign between the two and it is amazing. It definitely give me Dear Brother vibes, and I'm really hoping there's more of it. Mean Girls ain't got nothin' on this.
barakamon - 08
Fuck Type Moon.
Berserk - 03
Grifith seems to be mr perfect. Okay episode, I would prefer that the main plot continues soon though
It's not like I wanted to join your gang or anything.. baka

Surprised you went with the tv series instead of the 3 part movie series.
I was under the impression the tv series was the way to go
Berserk - 04
You don't even have to go to the tsundere violence dynamic (which I don't really like) to understand that relationship in Nozaki-kun, though. The dynamic between Hori and Kashima is basic manzai stuff. Violent slapstick physical response to stupidity is all over the place in Japanese comedy. Their relationship is no different from that of many other comic duos, and is meant to be read by the audience through that lens.
Nozaki-kun makes a point of not linking anybody through romantic feelings, outside of Sakura's one-sided love for Nozaki. Hori is Kashima's upperclassman in a club, and that is how they relate to each other. Forcing that pairing through the prism of intimate romance completely misreads the context.
Is it just me, or is Deadman Wonderland somewhat crap?
Should've just watched the by all accounts superior 1999 version.

Well I didn't expect this (NSFW?)
Backstory to the backstory. Some interesting stuff, born from a corpse? And the man in his nightmare from first episode was his "mentor"
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but I can assure you that you're experiencing the main plot right now.
More fairies and slaying of demons less Grifith/Guts bromance is I think what he wants.I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but I can assure you that you're experiencing the main plot right now.

Bad wording on my part, I'm referring to E01 grown up Guts, perhaps 'Main timeline' would've been better

It was already sitting on my to-do list. What the hell.Welp, looks like I have no choice but to add this to my watch list.
We're losing all the greats to twitter.So, are you going to post a more detailed write up? I only ask because I've noticed a lot of people posting on twitter about anime that they're watching but not actually posting on GAF.

I mean, what does "is gud" mean. Which arcs? Which moments? Etc etc.
What you're watching right now is by all means the main timeline. That first episode is more of a flash-forward.
Time for another watchbet. This time with nintendoman58:
Gurren Lagann 01
Everything starts with a big bang.
Underground villages and lots of drills. So this is where those glasses are from, and I can see how the people who made Kill la Kill made this as well.

It's... uhh... really far. I mean, really, really far.Oh, alright. I thought there was going to be 2-3 episodes of backstory and then straight back to E01. Without spoilering too much, how far forward is that?

It's a bit more complicated than "by all accounts". I think many would consider 2011 vital since it covers more of the story. Consensus seems to be something like:
Hunter exam: 99>2011
Tower: about equal (2011 may have edge due to animation)
Yorknew: same as above
Greed Island: 2011>>>>>>>99
Chimera Ant: 99 version N/A so 2011 wins by default (has pacing issues that were present in the manga)
So for all but one arc, the 2011 version holds its own.
Well... Did you like it more or less than YamiBou?
Yamibou was a sloppy mess that was so boring it put me to sleep on multiple occasions.That's equivalent to asking "Which drove you less insane?"
A good anime?
Something good for once.
Ghost Stories with english dub obviously![]()
You seem to love crap, may I suggest a Valvrave/Guilty Crown back to back viewing?
Ojamajo Doremi End
I have completed what was originally suggestedt by Yuu and done partly in the name of Hito. This series was completely not what I had always thought it to be. I honestly thought it was about fairies are something whenever I saw it in passing and also didn't give it a chance because '90s anime'. Holy fuck I was off. I found the vast majority of the episode entertaining and was amused when they solved things with magic or just good ole fashion know how. Certainly one of the better magical girl shows out there as well.
I'm sorely tempted to jump right into the next season after that ending. Pop and Onpu confirmed for best.
So hossana, your beloved guide wagcb thd sams 140 eps twice and you still believe that certain show ain't worth watching?.
So AnimeGAF, I'm thinking about doing another List double dose here soon.
Here's what I've seen so far:
- Geass
- Yami
- School Days
- Mars of Destruction
- Garzey's
What should be my next move?
Oh, it looks like Sentai's release slate for January just got announced, including a random new license for Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse.

So, some new stuff, some rereleases now on BD and two new dubs.

Which is why I was just hoping for a Toradora ending. Otherwise, why go through with the goodbye at all? Just have them stop at the airport.I told you Hana would make it back! I thought it was cheap, but still liked the ending. The real world implication of her going back are hilarious. They had about a day, so her mom probably bought a super expensive ass flight, Hana got on the plane for an at least 12 hour flight, and got there around 7 pm. I don't feel like charting the flight and times, but it seems impossible hahaha

Just A-Channel, which has whatever the same bonus stuff its DVD had; everything else only has the clean OP/ED listed from what I can tell.Any of this stuff have special features?
Also a Dog and Scissors dub... I am very :chitanda about it.
Should've just watched the by all accounts superior 1999 version.
My prediction
Hunter x Hunter - Dark Continent (2025)
see you there!
So, how did captain earth end?
Weird. They're not even throwing in the OVA for that one?Just A-Channel, which has whatever the same bonus stuff its DVD had; everything else only has the clean OP/ED listed from what I can tell.
