I still can't believe how much quality Erased is. I'm still so in awe with the latest episode. It's nice to get shows like these every once in awhile to remind me of why this medium can be more than just a nightly time killer.

Emma A Victorian Romance S2 ep.8-9
Well, looks like William finally manned up and is making decisions for himself to move forward. Too bad these selfish devisions are destroying his family name. I'm surprised he made the decision to go see her at the end. The final three have to come to a tragic conclusion.

I feel bad for some anime if they are really just viewed as a way to pass the time. Why watch them?

Today, I was roped into rewatching Eva. Now, I like Eva.. probably as much as the next guy, but I NEVER want to rewatch it ever again.

The original TV series, how about 'dat Episode 25 + 26?
They're shit, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

For exactly that, to kill 20mins of my time with some entertainment. Once in a while we do get gems like Erased though, and those I look forward to watching every week. The rest is... kinda just there? I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this.
Don't watch the third movie. Or at least not yet. Felt like the most pointless 2hrs of my life. That sure did kill my time, in the worst way possible.
Well isn't what a lot of TV viewing is?

You almost there Cornbread78. Wish you do a let's watch on this series but I guess not everyone will like watching this anime show. As for me, I am just convert one of the anime I got today into my HDD so I can watch it later. Also, slowing down a bit on watching anime as I have few stuff at work which need to look into. Sigh...guess it's life.

Heh, I don't want to go on too much. All I'll say is that the title is very literal in a way I didn't expect.
That's not a very effective way to sell someone on watching a show!

I mean, it's exactly the sort of murder mystery series you were asking for a little ways back, complete with the traditional detective denouement at the end. It's interestingly and atmospherically directed in a great period setting, and the characters are pretty interesting. As long as you don't mind sitting through an extended lecture on Japanese folklore, you should enjoy it!
Where are the robots or dinosaurs though?

Duckroll if you want to watch something with robots and dinosaurs, watch Shin Getter Robo V.S. Neo Getter Robo.
It's four episodes of SUPER ROBOT ACTION with dinosaurs piloting giant robots fighting humans piloting giant robots! That's literally all you need to know about it. The rest of the show speaks for itself.

Since you didn't like Nobita's Dinosaur 2006, I'm not sure you deserve to have those!

Here's a robot:
Here's a man strangling a dinosaur:
Assuming you haven't already seen it, I think you know what the right choice is here duckroll.

That doesn't look like strangling to me... Dude looks fucking hungry.

Why? Pretty good series for a rewatch I'd say. Good direction and it matters little if you already know where Eva ends up.

Eva is a show with many great moments and some near-perfect mech battles interspersed between some interesting character development and some stretches that are absurdly dull. Those dull stretches really killed me this time around.

Well technically, he's wrestling it. They're both in a ring in that scene.

This is a pretty stupid show, but probably one of the more entertaining ones for me this season.
I know this feeling so badly.

If I watched an anime just to kill time, I probably 1) would be surfing other sites while its on and 2) couldnt tell you anything about the plot of the show. So why spend the time to "watch" it when I wouldn't pay attention to it?

Clannad After Story and 5 versions of Gintama are in the top 10.
MAL sucks.
Live by the MAL rating, die by the MAL rating.

But is Metropolis actually good?

MAL continues to be useless for judging the quality of shows.
I go by far more scientific reasoning when judging a show.
Like my heart.

Well, I didn't think it was bad. I've certainly seen worse films by Rintaro.

Yes. :c The animation is fluid, the lighting is beautiful, the CGI blends seamlessly into the hand drawn elements. An absurd amount of detail builds the city of Metropolis, and the characters that fill the city are full of life. It's hard not to care about them - the protagonists, antagonists, and everyone in between. The ending is probably the reason why it's so low, but even that is handled better than most other movies.
I only have four anime that I would say deserve a 10. This is one of the them.
Edit: That's a lie. I have like.. fifteen anime I think deserve 10s. :c Probably only four tv series though.

Gintama's a good show but having it take up 5 spots on the list is dumb. That'd be like if my favorite game ever list went like
1. GameCube Resident Evil 4
2. PC Resident Evil 4
3. DOS Doom
4. Wii Resident Evil 4
5. 360 Doom
6. SNES Doom
7. 32X Doom
8. 360 Resident Evil 4
9. Jaguar Doom
10. PS2 Resident Evil 4

As fantastic as Gintama is I don't know if I'd rank it in the top 5 of all time. Not even sure if top 10.
We all know Naruto, one piece and death note deserve those spots

I really wish I had that, the Onimusha sword controller, the GameCube PSO controller and the controller for Steel Battalion.
I love dumb and unwieldy controllers. Like the N64's.
Wait, scratch that. The N64 controller sucks.

I liked it when I watched it. That was a long time ago now though, so I'm not confident in my current opinion of it. Neat use of Ray Charles though.
It's good, but not that good.

Considering how much I played Star Fox 64 when I was a kid, I'm surprised my hands aren't serious malformed because of that godawful controller.
This definitely stands out the most to me. Though I also loved the character designs, and it was well animated.

I'd like to see the version of this show directed by a different Mamoru.

Cat Planet Cuties ep.4
Oh no, our kitty alien cutie has been kidnapped by a religious psycho group of wannabe cat people! What's worse is, she might go in heat while in captivity. This is definitely a big problem when Japan is trying to negotiate a peace treaty with the cat people. Needs more SoL cuteness.

Giant fantasy knight robot duels so good. Escaflowne so good.
The mechs look so good in motion.

Did you start watching this because I was talking about it a few days ago or coincidence?
VoE is my absolute favorite mecha anime.

No, I'm simply watching this to sate my mecha thirst, lol.
I don't have much to say on the plot as of now, other than it's pretty Shoujo-y. But the mecha designs and animation is fantastic.
Myriad Colors Phantom World #3
So yeah, the show's transparent as hell with its plot points. It does look good, though.
Also, Mai-oneesama sounds way too much like mayonnaise-sama.
Ojisan and marshmallow #3
So intense. A cute ecchi-comedy that basically manages to do the same thing other shows such as TLR do in about seven times less air time, and without the need to actually censor lady bits everywhere to get its point across (even though Mr. Mustache is completely oblivious to it).
Erased #3
Now this was good. May this show keep up the pace and never crash and burn, because it's definitely one of the better things I've watched in a while.
