WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?
HOW COULD WE ALL FORGET?
You know who else Tange Sakura played?
Nausicaa of The Valley of The Wind
One of the most beautifully crafted worlds I have seen in a animated film. The animation was masterful and the film score was amazing. This is one I will remember for a very long time.
For those of you who have taken the time to examine this seasons chart you may notice that, outside of a couple of potentially shows, it looks like the vast majority of what will be airing over the next few weeks will be forgettable garbage. To help pass the time a number of us will be watching 'backlog' titles - anime series that aired sometime ago but that we missed watching at the time. The advantage of retroactively visiting these shows is that as they are older we already know what people think of them and as such we can chose to watch only well received shows. Moreover, if more than one person watches one of these backlog titles at the same time then there exists the potential to have a discussion about them. A certain unnamed internet forum does this quite regularly and they seem to enjoy doing it.
Backlog Schedule
Unknown.
Wandering Son was so good. Wish I could watch it again for the first time.
Lolz. Come on.
Haha!
Every season these kinds of posts always appears, I'm curious as to what you guys (everyone) want in an anime to appeal to you.
Yami time, bitches. Though this may be the only episode I watch tonight. I'd like to keep an eye on the Boys/Skins game, plus I also bought the Castle in the Sky blu-ray. May also play something.
Backlog
Oh wow, they found white actors to play the American parts? Did they even go to Houston? How did they handle the English? lolSpace Brothers (live-action version)
Shun Oguri's wig is pretty damn good in this film. It doesn't even come off when he shampoos it! Maybe he got his actual hair permed for the film. I don't know.
Anyway, for those of you familiar with Space Brothers this film will hold very few surprises. Due to it only being 2 and a bit hours long it really speeds through the material, getting further than the anime has to date after nearly three seasons. There are some obvious changes - the second exam is massively simplified, for instance, although it hits most of the same story beats over half an hour or so that the anime did in several episodes - and a corresponding shallowness of characterisation. With that said, they basically characterise Serika effectively in a 1 minute long speech, and there's no time for wacky hijinks with burglars and American chat shows, so it's not all bad.
I guess everyone finds different things in Space Brothers to be entertaining, and it seems from many of the recent posts about the show that people enjoy Mutta's inexorable head to becoming an astronaut more than Hibito's storylines. The story makes very little attempt to bridge the gap between them - they're only together for about 10 minutes of screen time as adults - but the film feels as though it plays up the significance of their emotional bond more than the anime does (although bear in mind I dropped the anime during the second exam arc so this could be me reading more into it than is actually there). I'd actually prefer this - I guess I've always felt that for a story called Space Brothers there's very little brotherhood actually in it - so the tone was interesting to me.
The acting's pretty good from everyone, even the Americans (although the most famous of all of them isn't exactly a brilliant actor...) - there's a surprisingly large amount of English dialogue in the film and the Japanese actors mostly cope with it. Production values are strong given it's a Japanese film; the special effects are decent if a bit on the cheap side, and they've clearly filmed a lot on location for authenticity. Some of the close-ups are a bit Tom Hooper in their intensity but they mostly work, even if neither lead actor can apparently cry to order.
Other important points:
Yuri content - none
Homoeroticism - two men showering next to each other
Prominent dog genitalia - unfortunate
Tokyo Encounter 18
Amazing. There should be more shows about celebrities playing dating sims.
And Sugita got a great taste picking Kaoru
Mouryou no Hako, Hataraki Man and Wandering Son sound like things I could enjoy. I'd love some other suggestions from anyone. I've only really gotten into anime more than a passing interest in the last few months or so. As long as it has well written characters or an interesting story I'm up for it. And don't think anything is too obvious.

That's all I've watched or am watching right now, at least that I can remember. So just suggest anythingthat is actually good.
I also just started watching GIRLS und PANZER. It seems like a fun show but I don't know if it really interests me past its ridiculous premise.
What's crazy is that he only played her route because he didn't want to cheat on her!
It's too bad they didn't really finish it. Even Arino was able to get the TokiMemo girl. lol
Oh sure. Although they finished that godawful baseball game!They can only play so much, especially when they only film once every season.
Oh wow, they found white actors to play the American parts?

How did they handle the English? lol

Kaoru was miscast... she's really cute .
It was great until the show became all about those stupid kids and their crippling social disorders. Any normal kids would have said something before letting shit hit the fan the way it did and it would have spared us all that terrible melodrama.You should check out some of these anime, the 25 best anime ever.

Thanks DTL.
You complain on that while ignoring the ugliest miscast of all megumi?
This was the same case as Xamd. I saw it on Righstuf and later ran into it randomly on crunchyroll. Decided to check it out since Girls und Panzer is finished for now and I want something new to watch. Nothing went the way I expected it to which was awesome. The main character is a a stubborn girl to say the least. Japanese Velma and thigh highs... I like this show already.

I'm just fumbling in the dark at the moment when it comes to anime. I just need an interesting cover and synopsis to draw me in. Crunchyroll's streaming and 12 episodes makes it too easy to get trapped, I guess. Also, I take more risks than before because I find that sometimes I close myself off to much. I thought Haruhi would be garbage until I saw the two seasons and it turned out decent(except for that endless night bullshit) so I like to keep an open mind.Weird you mention Xam'd since this show quickly falls apart, too. Never hit the highs Xam'd did, but collapses faster.

FLCL at four on the main guy's, Wolf's Rain at least twice, Black Lagoon S2, Gankutsuou. Didn't finish it yet.The actual list of their top 5s hasn't been posted yet. Do you remember what any of them were? lol
Originally I would have thought of Megami and Nyantype as being more in a licensed merchandise-maker position than a promotional position, but Megami's so established at this point that I guess there probably really are people who watch a show because of Megami rather than buy Megami because of the show.Yeah it's basically "free" advertising for the show in magazines, but some magazines require certain specific things to qualify. So for magazines aimed at dirty fangirls, there is usually a condition that they only want male characters in the poster artworks, and for lewd magazines for males they want something more raunchy or there's no point running it. Shows can choose to not feature in magazines, but that's a loss of visibility for the production.
You may also find Jexhius's list of 00's anime worth a look too.
Spice and Wolf's inclusion surprised me, not sure why, other than some misplaced prejudice. I literally have no frame of reference for it.

You haven't seen Spice and Wolf? Its really good.
Holo is a cutie.
Time to fix that I reckon then. Nice and short it is.Spice and Wolf's inclusion surprised me, not sure why, other than some misplaced prejudice. I literally have no frame of reference for it.
While this list is a good five years old now, start from the top and work your way down through titles, check out plot synopses, and give them a go.

No, but then again, I haven't seen most things. Might stray into unfamiliar territory, though, especially as my Rightstuf order is perennially back-ordered!

Yami is pretty amazing isn't it?
It entertains you while it utterly confuses the shit out of you.
I have yet to watch either season one or two other than previews, but I do own all of the current translated light novels from Yen Press. I am a bit surprised that the fourth novel was skipped in regards to the anime though.
I did. So good. Need to start reading the manga since we'll probably never get a second seasonDid you check out the full versions of episodes 10 & 11?
