Its worth it, but it and the movie are probably up there for my favorite in the genre, really like the characters Soushi and Kazuki were really excellent. Hopefully will rewatch this spring.
Hey anime Gaf, first time here. I want to get into some anime because i plan to learn japanese and i think it's a pretty fun way tp listen the language (my english is a little rough too so forgive me if i make mistakes).
Anyways, i want to know if you could recommend me some fun anime series, mostly comedies, school life i don't know, like the one on this gif. it seems fun:
And that's it, any suggestions? Thanks!

All quite funny at times or even all the way throughout. Oh and Tsuritama.
The priest is a strange one because
at first he's on neither side, and after listening to the little vampire girl's story he sympathizes with what she has to put up with, then he practically sides with her after seeing the human's hunt down the vampires looking like the monsters that they feared.

Nichijou, Hidamari Sketch, Azumanga Daioh, and Seitokai Yakuindomo are good starting points.
Shame we kind of spoilt it for him. Hopefully he ignored everything we said.
Man, I should have offered the consumption of two tiny hats if Kill Me Baby won.
Harsh.
Well said. I tried to nicely ask that results are not posted but it looks like I was ignored. I even posted a happy face. How can anyone ignore my smile!?
No point in me doing anything because I'm sure most of my results are not in the top 10.
Poor Mitsudomoe.
Shame on all you 2010 voters.firehawk12

I suppose I assumed everyone watched it live. lol
But yeah, even for a first time watcher, E8 doesn't work and can only be explained in context. You might try to replicate the experience, the same way that ESPN (I assume) will constantly replay championship sports ball games during the off times because they have nothing else to air, but those replays of sports games have pretty much zero impact on you as a viewer.
Actually, Hawaii 5-0 tried a gimmick yesterday where you could go onto the website and vote for the ending of the episode. If you weren't watching live though, that gimmick is entirely lost on you and you couldn't participate in that aspect of the show.
If you actually cared about the theory behind E8, it's probably to just look up an explanation than to sit through the episodes anyway.
The Jin reasoning was only slightly less stupid than Sorata's idiocy. Slightly.
Well, that's a different discussion.
Before the jokers pop up (looks like I may be too late). That gif is from K-On.
Other good shows to watch.

Lucky Star (first three episodes are pretty slow but it picks up after that)

The longer the name, the more likely it'll get adapted!
It feels different than the part time Working Demon show next season, mostly because I expect more moe and more moe antics.
Nothing I can really do if I was asleep when the news broke ~_~

don't know what going on, but mio is naked today, so today is a good day.
No blurays? Smh
Agreed!
The first few episodes like six years ago. Don't recall anything in it that makes me inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt!
yeah if he was just an adapt-o-bot I wouldn't be scared yet, but this is the guy responsible for giving the world Welldone the Pussyhand. It sprang from his mind.
Yes I know that he sympathises with what she had to deal with, I just don't think it works because there is certainly never a switcheroo on who were really monsters in this show. She had to deal with a lot of bad stuff but she never stops being a person responsible for many murders and tragedy that we see quite effectively unfold in the story. That does not mean that there are not humans who do immoral things as well.
Showing the depravity and darkness in the killing of vampires and even inoccents was well done but the fundementals never change from the start. The gray beyond the fundamentals is particularly very interesting but the simple truth of vampires being the more immoral and threatful existance for the extermination of the village and even more mass murders other than that in outside cities does not change. That little vampire girl has murdered an incredible number of people. This is a war with a gray (more) good side with war criminals working mostly in self defense and revenge and a gray (more) bad side with some inoccents. Which makes people who don't like the killing and dehumanization going on but don't join the vampires to be commendable. We have sympathy for the vampires side due to their own desires for companionship and nature of feeding coming from blood and intstict of survival compelling them into mass murder but the fundamental of their predatory and harmful actions that they decide to do, does not change. The werewolf vampire for example was particularly sadistic. Of course the above does not make the death of that vampire woman any less impactful scene than what it was. Just that here we don't have two sides that are morally equal even if the human victory is also disturbing as well, it was the lesser evil out of a situation that would end in bloodshed. At least it was final bloodshed.
It takes both stupidity or immorality from one who cares about lack of killing to join the vampire girl side, the one who selifshly started the mass murders in the village and even targeted nearbye cities that due to wanting companionship (not purely selfish, but be willing to mass murder for that is at least partially selfish). His character did not entirely work for me but on the positive side he was the vehicle through which we got interesting development about the vampires.
A join neither side approach while making a stand against the brutality of killings could be more effective and relatable.

Kinda, you could skip to the last five or so minutes though.
That long for a review? (I admit I got annoyed half way through and shut it off)
All you need to say is that it was a good fap would recommend and warn anyone of potential grape stories especially when the cover tricks you into thinking it's about yuri.

There's some stuff in the end that'll lead to the new arc.
Of course, they'll probably recap that in the next episode.
Bear in mind that the priest
donated his blood enough for the vampire girl to feed, but left enough time to heal again, I bet if everyone gave their bit, there wouldn't be people getting sucked dry, of course this requires an open a dialogue with the prey so to speak, which isn't going to happen.
Can't be any worse than SaC.

I giveded you ten stars.
Nowadays Toei pretty mental when it comes to backgrounds, they love going all out on a backgrounds only to redrawn the same area whenever it's revisited dozens of times over just for the sake of it.
Backgrounds(am going to try to avoid posting spoiler pics)
Dadan's house is redrawn like 15+times in different angles,times of day,weather even when it's from the same angle.
You see the tiny clouds in the background yeah their animated that's not all so are the clouds's shadows and those line effects on the grass represent wind blowing through the grass.
"it's raining now staff, redraw those individual trees now with a wet detailed paint look so the tree's look wet & stuff", poor guys.
Storybook effects still around,looks more like a painting.
camping at dawn in the snowy woods
nice colours check that background out with snowygrass and trees
What I find important in background is characters should be able to interact with it and look very natural(not looking out place with characters on screen).
Now this is just silly why would you draw some detailed bin? with shades of multiple colours and even that bloody stick got it's own shadow, I told you Toei was mental.
Ops posted too many i should stop now.
Yeah, psycho-pass on the offset had potential than this based on the staff, and look how that turned out!
The vampires almost exterminated the whole village until humans started exterminating the vampires. There was never a different solution since vampires started mass murdering people planning to make the whole village a vampire village. Either they would succeed or the humans would kill them. The tragic character of that blond vampire who killed his best friend establishes the fragility of the idea of coexistance through minor feeding. This fantasy has nothing to do with the events of the show, and I wonder what happens if there are not enough blood donors or if the vampires don't care about waiting for donors? Not that, there was ever such a possibility in the show.
As for the priest he ended up dying and rising as a vampire so his feed others plan did not work that much long term and he never suggested to the vampires to start killing less IIRC, it was just his own desire to donate blood.
Yeah they went too far in some extends. It reminded me more of resistance movements against oppressive regimes that also end up killing some more inoccent and that the killing involved with that ends up being ugly as well, even if the enemy the war is fought against needs to be eliminated.
I have to admit I find your approach to this issue somewhat surprising.
I love this channel:
Tenchi Muyo (1992) #3 - 本田 雄 Takeshi Honda
(You might know him as having worked on the fight in End of Evangelion alongside Mitsuo Iso and Yoh Yoshinari)
Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle (OVA 2) - 上妻 晋作 Shinsaku Kozuma [?]
Patlabor 2: The Movie - 沖浦 啓之 Hiroyuki Okiura [?]
I don't like these sakuga vids where they aren't sure if they got the animator right but these look really good so what the heck.
Also, for those interested here's the scene Hironori Tanaka did for the Justice League: Doom movie:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9i_pnvq7RbM
Not even close to being his best work but it's still the prettiest scene in the entire film.

Let me guess. They are secretly siblings.
I really should play this. Bought it yonks ago too. But it requires switching OS and I'm too lazy to do that.
It's just a strapless dress.
Do we have to bring up Watership Down again and how kids can cope with this stuff.
Yep. I believe I voted for it in the OP/ED of the year award, but with Articalys I'll never know the results now.

It's the general perspective on vampires that I got through Shiki, it's all predator and prey, vampires mass murdering a human village is not much different in principal to humans mass murdering chickens for food, we just got the smarts to fight back and include morality on the issue.
Which is why I thought at the end of Shiki
when everyone went beyond simple self defense and went into overkill on anything that smelled like a vampire
That said I do think vampire girl deserved to die, at the end of the day it's all about survival and she started it.
I think it's impossible for it to beat "Duckroll sucks." at this point.
