Anohana 11 [END]
;_;........ T_T
Yup. A good cry was had.
While it was melodramatic at certain parts it didn't lessen the impact of that ending. It built everything towards this ending and of course pushed it's message, which to be honest I wasn't sure it had until these last few episodes. I love how simple messages, like for this show being about friendship, can evoke emotion out of people.
It was a good watch and I am glad I had the pleasure to watch it.

Dio isn't a good example, since it's from a work that's borderline homoerotic.
Oh yeah, also Hikaru in Kimagure Orange Road and a bunch of other examples that may not have been brought to the states as efficiently.
Actually that looks like from before the timeskip TO 17, so he's 15/16 there.
Then there's Chad.
Yeah, I can't argue with that admittedly. Every guy there looked like they were in their late teens at the youngest, then NO WAIT WE FLASH FORWARD TO 7 YEARS LATER where apparently their muscles are more like body wide tumors that went completely out of control.Dio isn't a good example, since it's from a work that's borderline homoerotic.
Yeah, but that's more because Araki has no idea how to draw children.
In anime they actually look like kids though.
In Part 2 we had Joseph
spying on his mother in the bath
"Almost"?

I love the entire cast, it so hard to pick a favorite in this show.
Also Mackie watching his sister undress in BGC.

I'll always say it, people should be asking them to make a Fist of the North Star game as a God Hand spiritual successor.

Okay. Gonna start Aquarion EVOL now. I know it's a sequel, but screw it, I've heard this one is better than the first and that it's okay to start here.
All right let's do this.

Think I might hold off on that for a few days. Let me recover from this one. I did watch it in 2 days after all.
Plus I still have a watch bet with Corvo to watch G Gundam. Also I wanted to watch some of these new shows popping up on CR.
And I promised Nintendoman I would watch TTGL. So... Yeah give me a few days.

G Gundam is the superior Super Robot show.

Brain Base gods please adapt the Sensei ramen date and the Totsuka movie outing.
PLEASE.
Why do I get the weird ones?
Pleasantly please to see it break 3K.
Dio isn't a good example, since it's from a work that's borderline homoerotic.
Jojo homoerotic? What a ridiculous idea...

Out of context two cowboys seemingly wearing lipstick riding cross country in what's called the "Steel Ball Run" sounds pretty gay.
Its not quite list worthy but it comes close.
I dont remember much of the original aquarion.
Well we could but it'd probably be as animated as the manga.

God, the KLK thread is killing me. Hilarious stuff!
I would be okay with a JoJo series made with the CGI characters from the openings.
Besides JoJo TV is already barely animated.

Hahaha. Maybe. Did love Gundam Wing when I was a teen.
And we wouldn't have it any other way!

Is there an actual list?

I have a giant smile on my face every time I watch this show. Most surprising anime I've ever watched in my life. I heard it got critical acclaim, but I never expected it to blow up the way it did for me.
I don't like the look of this...
You should finish Angel Beats first.
I'll try and find a balance of some sort. I'm putting Gundam X on hold, because honestly, I'm 28 episodes in and I'm not exactly hooked. It's not horrendous, but damn it I want a mecha show with better characters.
Eww no.
I remember virtually all of the original Aquarion; how many other mech anime give you:
i) an episode where every member of the cast has to pretend to be someone else;
ii) an episode about sex addiction;
iii) an episode entirely devoted to Satoru Utsunomiya's weird animation style, including the only instance of cel animated mecha in the whole show
iv) an episode that takes the piss (obliquely) out of Arjuna;
etc. etc. - plus all the silly gattai stuff that gets reused in Evol and so forth.
There was a reason we nicknamed it Aquaricrack on Animesuki at the time...

I love the fabulousness of Jojo. The colors, the manliness, the poses, the clothes...
I wonder how the Japanese old shonen fans dealt with it. Aren't Japanese known for being not exactly progressive in that regard? And I suppose shonen fans from 15 years ago weren't more open to he issue. For them is all totally straight?

Could you PM me said list. I want to see how many shows I have seen on the list and how closely it matches my own list.
Pllllleeeeaaaaasssseeee....
Heh I think they're okay with it since it's one of the most popular shonen of all time, and is liked by all kind of people.
