Cross Ange is the new Code Geass, only better.

You guys said this about Guilty Crown? And I'm not sure I want to take the risk of trusting you again?

Ok, you guys. I'm fully on board the Ange train and have been basically since Episode 7 or so, but this straight up lying to the man/woman. LOL. In BOTH cases.

Cross Ange is a very entertaining show, but better than Code Geass? Naaaaaaaah. What world are you living in?,

As for what to expect in it - ultraviolence, lesbians, fanservice, prison sexual violence, JesusKira Yamato, cool mecha designs, and an anti-heroine that has a great character arc.

It's fun!

Power Plant No.33

I...is...is this...is this a Pacific Rim anime? BASED FUCKING TRIGGER

This was just amazing. Such a well formed and explained world (aside from the robot) with so little time to do it, it looks absolutely gorgeous, and the gargantuan sizes are so fully formed. Like, both the kaiji and the robot just feel big and heavy. Like, End of Eva gets props for making stuff like Asuka's final fight feels so big, and heavy, but in that department it's got nothing on this. Sure, this was a pretty simplistic fight, but holy hell did if feel like the sizes were right. Absolutely well done.

Also that main girl de-suiting at the end UNF so hard. Would totally waifu. Theonik, Zachy, Cajun, et al. get on this shit.

Does any of our francophone pals (R_thanatos, you here?) know what kind of quality releases to expect from the publisher AB Disques? Because the price per episode is making this Saint Seiya BD-BOX they are going to sell a pretty irresistible product (if they continue to offer similar prices for the following packs, that is)!

 

[Thoraxes]

I feel a mixture of fondness and embarrassment whenever I think about Bakemonogatari, and I think I dropped Nise a few episodes in, but I will take that into consideration!

All things considered, Nisemonogatari is kinda considered the low point as far as the series goes. With the arcs in the Monogatari Second Season you can basically just pick the characters you like and watch their arcs independently. Most of them have lightly entwined plot threads, but only really Otorimonogatari and Koimonogatari are really connected in any meaningful way. If you had to only pick one arc to watch from all of the second season, it should be Koimonogatari.

Hanamonogatari and Tsukimonogatari come came out after the TV-airing of what is considered the Second Season, though they all could really fall under that moniker.

I'm sorry I didn't leave you with a dictionary to decipher all the -gatari in my post >.>

One series that has not been recommended yet is His and Hers Circumstances though this may be a controversial one.

Good suggestion Shardy but yeah controversial because of the "ending"

How is it controversial? If I understand correctly, its KareKano (snipped name) in Japanese and the only thing I heard about it is how the anime just cuts off at the end and the manga continues well beyond that. Haven't read the manga, might get to that one day. Also, Full Moon Woshagote (I don't remember how to spell it) was another good one but that's enough shoujo for me in a lifetime lol.

Full Moon O Sagashite is one of my favorite shoujos. Damn its amazing and it ends beautifully. Easily one of the best anime endings. Gorgeous. Even the OST is phenomenal with all the songs by Changin My Life.

I really enjoyed the kabe-don with Sakai and Yuuma in the last episode. It was so funny. Even Fumina was like "..wut" That was the highlight of this episode however. The fight was so bad and cringeworthy.

So after Voices of a Distant Star, where should I look next for a good Anime series that has a good story/plotline, good relationships/love stories, it can be crude (I stumbled upon the holy boobs of Sekirei this weekend, but it's not on Crunchy, lol) and action/adventure to go alone with the story could be nice as well: I need to plot the series out now. For reference, my only Anime experience is SAO and Log Horizon. I really loved SAO and everything it offered. (Crunchyroll)

Attack on Titan 25 END

But okay, overall impressions. Well, this was. Okay. It's such a strange dichotomy of awesome and shit. There's some really great moments and animeation one episode and then slidehsows and boring as exposition and pacing issues. Shitty dub, though with a few good actors. Erin's dub actor in particular is a grating son of a bitch and perfectly exemplifies the angsty, grimdark teenager shonen nature this show is. Make no mistake, the show is decent, and the ending and beginnings are good, but there's undercurrent of trite edginess through out.

Glad you hmm didn't hate it. ;p Certainly not a show without significant flaws but it managed to execute its hype moments and twists so well I kinda tend to forget about them.

Just noticed Save N' Quit got banned.

Did he turn off the power while saving again?

His entire posts got nuked.

The twist in the last episode of Yatterman was so utterly shocking that he just couldn't handle it.

Come back soon. I need Naruto filler impressions !

I feel a mixture of fondness and embarrassment whenever I think about Bakemonogatari, and I think I dropped Nise a few episodes in, but I will take that into consideration!

You stopped right before the best episode of the entire franchise then !

Not French so unfortunately I can't help you but if it ships with their dub aka the best dub and the most magnificent opening of all time, it is surely worth any price !

 

[Cornbread78]

Season 2 of log horizon is 25 episodes.

Out of that list, I'd go with TTGL, Fate/Zero or Katanagatari. As as side note, finding even decent love stories in anime that is no focused on them is a pretty tall order in general. Most action series don't either have any or just have a clueless protagonist assemble a harem with no winners in sight, ever.

As a random non-crunchy entry, I'd recommed looking up Macross Frontier. It was good in many fronts.

I don't know what's on Crunchyroll, but in general here are my recs.

If you don't mind things divorced from action, Clannad, but in particular the second season Clannad: After Story, is a good choice if you want a depressingly sad love story. But parts are still ill-formed and it's long (just shy of 50 episodes total). Toradora! would be a fantastic choice though, watch that. One Week Friends is a good recent choice in this vein too.

If you liked Voices of a Distant Start, I can't also recommend Makoto Shinkai's other films enough; 5 Centimeters Per Second is godlike, and The Garden of Words and The Place Promised in Our Early Days are both fantastic. The dude's films double as scenery porn, which is nice. Hosoda's films are good too; I recommend Wolf Children, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and Summer Wars.

If you want love and action, Romeo x Juliet is pretty good. The dub is actually quiet interesting too; they took special care to make certain parts sound Shakespeare-ish despite it being really lose with it's adaption. Other great choices in the action+relationships/love area would probably include Eureka 7, Redline, and Space Battleship Yamato 2199.

Also, you can't go wrong with Space Dandy and Ping Pong so definately watch those.

If you want funny and crude, the Golden Boy. It's only six episodes, but it's the funniest thing you'll probably ever watch, full stop. Also, dub is required. This is non-negotiable. Doug Smith's Kintaro is legendary.

Glad you hmm didn't hate it. ;p Certainly not a show without significant flaws but it managed to execute its hype moments and twists so well I kinda tend to forget about them.

I largely agree. Another thing I didn't touch on is how they introduce so many characters and expect use to emphasize with them, so that their deaths are meaningful, but they seem so bland and they don't pop up enough or with enough depth to make me care.

 

[DiGiKerot]

Wake up Girls huh? Wait, I just Google imaged that..... Umm, yeah, umm, are they all idols?

This one?

Well, that's Wake Up, Girls - which, yeah, is an idol cartoon. It... Probably needs a certain mindset towards these things to enjoy it - I really like the show, but as far as idols go, I'd probably recommend anything with iM@S in the title (other than maybe Live for You) or Love Live or maybe even PriPara first.

What BGBW is talking about, however, is Wake Up Girls ZOO, which is the spin-off gag anime in which the members of WUG are animals in a downtrodden zoo, and one of them usually dies in a gruesome or deeply dark fashion. It's great and all, though I'm not sure if it was entirely series a recommendation.

It is entertaining, though.

I've not been keeping track (flu sucks), but did anyone mention Accel World to you, the cartoon based on the other novel about folks playing online games from the author of Sword Art Online? Admittedly, you might have to hit Hulu rather than CR for that, and the main character is a massive dweeb rather than effortlessly cool, but, meh, I thought it was pretty entertaining.

 

[Cornbread78]

Voices of a Distant Star

I didn;t realize this was a "classic" anime when entering, very intersting short story, that is for sure. Sad story, but hard to feel the emotion deeply because of it being a short film with no character build up, backstory or progression.


Also, is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann the same as Gurren Lagann? Garren Lagann is the only one on Crunchy..

Voices of a Distant Star

I'm not actually a big fan of the Makoto Shinkais work (aside from Place Promised in their Early Days), but the thing that is super-impressive about Voices is that it was essentially a solo effort, which is ultimately why it's so short - one guy with a copy of Retas Pro can only do so much. The directors other works, for better and for worse, are more substantial, but also way more impressive in terms of animation.

Also, is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann the same as Gurren Lagann? Garren Lagann is the only one on Crunchy..

Yeah, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is just the full title of the show, but it's the same thing.

AB disque is part of AB productions and their releases quality is barely average at best.

At this point , there is no place to get more info on the blu-ray quality. The best i could is to confirm that the sound quality is "stereo".
No i'm not kidding.
So trend at your own risk , one place did confirm the japanese voice track and there is the French voice track too but It's almost certain that the voice quality is shit.
As for the image quality , judging by their previous attempts ( dvd ) , expect the censored version with more than blurry pictures.

They aren't going to make an effort because sain seya is just too popular in france and they know people will eat it anyway.

EdIt : just got more information. Basic math indicate that the quality of the release is indeed poor

Maybe it's just me, but I consider it a lot better than Makoto Shinkai's other works precisely because of how short and concise it is.
