Anime/Manga uguu?

I have Utena scheduled for April. I know all about it since it's a deconstruction of the mahou shoujo. And the staff of this did Penguindrum (which confused me) and Yuri Kuma (which I'm upset about), so I have it planned after I finish Ah! My Goddess.

(I schedule anime. I don't like watching things without having to rotate stuff in.)

I watched Penguindrum because of the staff from Utena and am watching Yuri Kuma Arashi for the same reason.
...I take it you're upset about the cliffhanger ending of episode 8 in Yuri Kuma? Everything will be okay... I think...r-right? It was left ambiguous..
This week's 8.5 episode was a special with the voice actresses from the show and an interview with director Kunihiko Ikuhara. Too bad there's no translation I can find.

There are only 12 episodes in this show and we're at number 9 now. The plot's approaching climax and things will start to get real.

Speaking of cliffhangers...I doubt anyone watched Juuou Mujin no Fafnir, but I'm upset about it right now because of the cliffhanger that one left me on today, too.

Haha, I haven't watched the latest episode of Fafnir yet. You'd be surprised, there's someone else who watches Fafnir in our bunch. *stares at Satoshi*

Also, Is Yuri Kuma Arashi really that good? I guess I skipped another hidden gem of the season.

A friend of mine is really into fafnir. No, scratch that, two friends of mine are. They've been telling me that it is a pretty good watch. Although I've also been told that the CG can get pretty jarring. No matter though, since after seeing Fate/Stay Night's dragon sex scene I don't think any crappy CG work can faze me at all haha. :p

Yuri Kuma Arashi, like previous works from the Penguindrum creator, seems to be one of those anime that has completely over-the-top elements (penguins in penguindrum and yuri + bears in this) but a decent amount of deepness attributed to heavy utilization of symbolism. At least that's what I gather from the multitude of opinions I've read over the shows on the interwebz. :v

I haven't watched through FSN, and this got me curious. Looking forward to see that scene not.

Oh, you'll enjoy it. If it doesn't melt your eyes, change my name.



this is fucking fantastic, on a totally different note XD

Ohh speaking of the Fate series I'm deathly excited for the next cour of Fate/zero. It's so good. I love it. So much.

I really need to watch Fate/Zero, because it really looks like a good series. *^* I've just never watched it for some reason.

its every bit as amazing as it looks (just don't touch anything made by Studio Deen, they're awful. Ufotable is where it's at). <3

Studio Deen is not awful. They've made some titles I really enjoyed. Law of Ueki, Sankarea, Loki Ragnarok, Sakura Trick, Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka, Full Moon wo Sagashite, etc. They're not awful.

I have Fate/Zero planned for August or September, iirc. I don't have it planned for awhile, but I watched Fate/Kaleid, and Zero is done by Urobutcher, so.

Zero was done by Urobutcher? That explains why I loathed it. Everything that man touches is tainted beyond redemption, he's the anime equivalent of Motomu Toriyama. I would suggest cutting off his hands to prevent him from creating any more over-hyped monstrosities, but if anime has shown me anything that would probably only make the situation worse.

Well, everything he's done I've loathed except Psycho-Pass. I really enjoyed that; it reminded me of Ghost in the Shell, only with guns that make people explode, which could only be a good thing in context. It was well-written, had a great cast, and was disturbing as hell. Shame the second series was so awful, though...leaves me feeling a bit apprehensive about the movie.

I actually watched Fate/Zero first before picking up FSN though, haha. Half of myself kinda regret that, but the other half doesn't since I tend to watch things in a chronological order. But man, that Fate/Zero is heavy on the FSN spoilers.

Obviously I'll continue to watch to see that dragon sex scene.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?!
I don't see any particular reason why I should be watching that series =D

Well...

Fafnir is godly. So far it's in my TOP 3.

You were supposed to say HanaKana here, though...
I'm disappointed =D

Everyone knows you watch several anime 'cause of HanaKana. There's really no need to point it out. :P

Ah, HanaKana like the seiyuu...

I first misread that as HanaKimi as in the shoujo series, and I was super stunned for a few moments. XD;

HanaKana a shit. Best grill is Kugimiya Rie. She voices Kagura from Gintama. 'nuff said. come at me, Sa-to-shi-kuuuuuunnn~

I wish I knew anything about the companies involved in anime. I'm so plain, I don't really care who makes what, I just judge by "was the show good or shit."

Well, knowing the good companies can give you a sort of 'will this show be potentially good?' feel I guess.
You know like Madhouse, Deen, Gainax, Kyoani. You know. All the good stuff.
