On the rarer than finding a shiny Pokemon chance that you DO decide to watch Nanoha(it's good, but watch Kino first), make sure you stick with the movies, because they're perfect for those unfamiliar with the franchise, as they don't have to sit through S1 Nanoha's filler.

The Nanoha movies are pure fanservice that leave out character development and in the A's movie's case, entire plot points. Also it doesn't have Brave Phoenix so the TV series should always be recommended first.

There's that F-word again, don't do that to me son!

Oh yeah? What if I defeat your self-deprecation with RESPECT?

What kind of awesome? The heaven-piercing Gurren Lagann kind of awesome? The Hunter X Hunter kind of awesome that's also insanely dark? The Nanoha kind of awesome where girls fly through the sky shooting lasers at each other?

All three.

Getting Sousei no Aquarion's vibe from Nobunaga the Fool. I'm ok with that.

It felt like one could overlay the scenes when the mech are activating in Nobunaga the Fool with those in Aquarion Evol and one wouldnt be able to tell the two apart, unless my memory is wrong of evol. I liked both.

Sometimes, sure. I don't often quit shows that I find spectacularly awful. It's the spectacle, really. I mean, "How awful can it be?" is basically what kept the Ripley's Believe it or Not show on the air, if not all of reality television. It isn't noble or whatever, but it sure as heck is fun taking pot shots at shows I think are bad.

When it isn't fun, I quit it. That's why I dropped Victory Gundam- because unlike AGE or 00, it wasn't even fun to hate on it. Same with Rah Xephon.

I also occasionally drop shows because they don't look like anything I want. Samurai Flamenco and Speed Grapher are both shows I didn't get very far in because I saw no real reason to.

Yeah, this is me to an extent. I gave up on Yuyushiki about five episodes in because I just felt like it wasn't going anywhere and it wasn't consistently funny enough to keep watching. If people liked it, good on them, I'm not going to criticize you.

Watamote, on the other hand, didn't bore me, it outright angered me. I kept watching, thinking "OK, this is going to be the point when Tomoko stops being a terrible person and I can feel good about watching this." But that moment never came. Its one thing for a show to be boring, its different when the show makes me angry. Watamote makes me angry.

You are a wonderful person and I think that . . . I am not cut out for this being a nice person thing. I'll just wait for Cajun to do it instead.

Debatable for the first series, but watching the A's movie first is a horrible idea.

Attack on Titan 20

[Tenumi]

This post is unbearable. No one is stopping you from watching or commenting on a show, but talking about how you'll do it just to piss the fans off is as small and petty as it gets.

Speaking the truth right here.

On a random side note, with Attack on Titan now on Netflix, it tempts me to check it out and see what the fuss is about, but I just know it'll probably end up on Toonami and that makes me feel like I'm just wasting my time...

This was pretty funny. It's possibly the lowest-budget anime I've ever seen, but it's pretty funny.

I can get behind an 8-minute show starring Kana Hanazawa about a girl watching her classmate's increasingly complex (and somehow completely invisible) games he's playing on his desk.

Could always check out the first couple eps and decide from there. Might save you time later if it does make it to Toonami!

No, the first movie had awful pacing that didn't let anything breathe at all. I may not be big on Nanoha, but the TV show was much better than the movie.

It's also only 13 episodes. You should be ashamed for saying "filler".

The Nanoha movies are pure fanservice that leave out character development and in the A's movie's case, entire plot points. Also it doesn't have Brave Phoenix so the TV series should always be recommended first.

There's that F-word again, don't do that to me son!

Ah, when I said "Filler" I was mostly referring to the first three episodes, as things didn't pick up for that show for me until Fate showed up. I guess I just liked the way things progressed better in the movies. Didn't mean to offend anyone by calling it "filler". Apologies.

But then again, these opinions are coming from a guy who watched the TV series first, then the movies 3 months later, so my knowledge of the TV series might be a bit rusty. I'm just speaking from how I first experienced it.

All three.

Innnnteresting....

The first few episodes of Attack on Titan are pretty fun. That should be enough to show whence cometh the hype. If you want to see whence cometh the backlash that'd be the Defense of Trost arc.

That's true. 3 episode rule has really failed me before, doubt it would now.

 

[Geneijin]

Not the first time I have ever done it, probably will not be the last, the hate watch is on.

That is so petty. And I mean unbelievably petty. No exaggeration. It's the equivalent of fellating an inflated ego.

 

[rhizomatic]

That's true. 3 episode rule has really failed me before, doubt it would now.

I'd give it six. Mainly because the first three episodes make you think it'll actually be good.

 

[dakkumauji]

That's true. 3 episode rule has really failed me before, doubt it would now.

If you want to watch something that smashes the 3 episode rule into tiny little pieces, try watching Sankaera.

I wonder who they will pull to be Eren, Jean, and Connie.

Though its going to be so odd to see how they do the opening to air on tv.

I'm not sure what to think about Japan remaking Sixteen Candles in anime form. I'm not sure they can recreate the magic that was in the John Hughes 80's classic.

"investigate." There'd have to be some kind of mystery to solve for that.

Also is she Chitanda or her infinitely better American counterpart Daphne?

Cuz this show is like Scooby Doo with out the 70s fun.

Next few episodes explain some things. Watch those.
Episode 6 is inspid. Skip it u nless you like chitanda being hnnng

 

[CorvoSol]

Chitanda is Scooby and Daphne. Other girl is Velma. Satoshi is Fred, Houtaro is Shaggy. In this version of Scooby Doo the mysteries have fewer masks involved and Shaggy has been promoted to Main Guy.

supposed to freeze to death? Did the Sea God get lazy and just freeze the sea and forgot about the surface?

Either way the show got much more interesting by radically changing the entire status quo. I wish all slice of life shows did that if they were longer than 13 episodes, really freshens up the settings. And now with the

Spoiler

age gap, if the writing is good lol,

then all the existing relationships will be changed a lot and should open up a lot of possible new delicious drama.

Looking at the OP, Manaka seems to be missing from the group shots so

Spoiler

I assume she is probably lost or something in the sea? Maybe frozen permanently?

But more importantly this means that Hikari x Chisaki has a legit chance of winning. THE DREAM IS ALIVE.

Sakura Trick is such a dissapointment, kinda like that Kyoani anime I forgot the name of with that bird.

I'm never going to get hyped again.

This new opening sucks. I was lied to.

[CorvoSol]

Not yet there isn't. Hotaro is unmotivated to solve mysteries and sarcastic about events. Shaggy. Chitanda is the rich girl. Daphne. Chitanda was literally called a dog in this episode. Scooby. Mayaka is snarky. Velma. Satoshi is the only guy interested in these mysteries and therefore Freddie.

So you did time travel that time.

I've actually been time traveling today. My bedroom got sucked into the 90s this afternoon, and I made a pit stop several minutes in the future before returning to my own time.

You're only saying that because you haven't seen the Batman crossover.

Dude Mysteries Incorporated was a legitimately, unironically good show. Everybody should watch it. Pup Named Scooby Doo was also great.

I believe you're confusing "KILL IT WITH FIRE" with "NUKE IT FROM ORBIT".
