Mirai Nikki. I needed to know more about Yuno. I also had a crazy dream of me being ambushed by a pink-haired girl asking me if she "loves me"

Yep I am that outdated when it comes to anime these days. There are so many i haven't seen and I've already finished both the Jojo Anime and the P4 Anime adaptation months ago.

Since I made my last post, I've finished DRRR!! Ten, I started Anitore! EX (Really, Earth Star Entertainment? Really? This is just such blatant otaku-bait. Still watching because it's a low mental effort watch where I can laugh at the idea of what I'm pretty sure the show is being used for in many bachelor pads in Japan), started and finished Aiura (the way it sets up, it feels like it'll be a longer series than 4 minutes per episode, but then it just abruptly cuts off after a soft punchline, killing the comfy full length slice-of-life vibe it gives out), and started and finished Ai Mai Mii: Mousou Catastrophe ("random" and violent with a bit of continuity).

TL;DR: Shorts are comfy and easy to marathon and I finished 2 of them.

Since my last post three weeks ago, I've started/finished:
Started and finished Ame-iro Cocoa (Rainy Cocoa) - this is bishounen city holy hell, also the pacing is pretty bad
started Ame-iro Cocoa: Rainy Color e Youkoso! - see s1 comments
started Doamaiger D - this concept is dumb and it's cheesy, but it's kinda fun, too
started Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu (aka Parasyte: The Maxim) - this is on Toonami and ewww I don't like it, sir, not at all
started Ore ga Ojousama Gakkou ni "Shomin Sample" Toshite Gets♥Sareta Ken (aka just Shomin Sample in English) - cliche harem otaku-bait, but it has some pretty fun gifs circling the net from what I've seen)


Really not a whole lot new in the past 3 weeks.

 

[Acnologia Rising]

I am currently watching No Game No Life.

I freaking love it. The opening has quickly become one of my favourite anime openings ever. I also love the humour in it.

Also, Shiro is freaking adorable...and she's awesome too XD

 

[Anvils Alive]

I'm currently a few episodes into the masterpiece that is JoJo: Stardust Crusaders.

And boy, were the Hamon arcs dank as fudge. KOOOOOOOH~

I know in some channels the Avatar series may be debated on whether to consider it anime or not, but to be honest I've never paid attention to the arguments. I suppose I, on an offhanded thought, consider it anime.

Anyhow, I've just finished A:TLA and A:TTOK and I am suffering the post-series symptoms. I actually watched Korra first and then watched The Last Airbender. I remembered most of ATLA from my childhood, but I still teared up every other episode or so. The characters are so well done in my opinion. It was the ending I never saw as a child, so I had a good amount of closure there.

Korra was very different in characterization and themes. I still appreciated it as much as ATLA, just for different reasons. The battle choreography was definitely a high point to the episodes as well as the relate-able themes now that I'm older. Love, betrayal, soul-searching, fear and death. ATLA had these things, but in a different degree. Either way, I still teared up in the end. I'm an incredibly sentimental person and a sucker for touching moments. I was the proverbial crying baby when I watched Angel Beats, my word...

Refrained from spoilers here. If you'd like to gossip about the series send me a VM or PM, I'd be happy to. (=

Paused:

Paused:
These shows are listed in the recentness of the last episode seen. Sometimes I reach a point in an anime where I disengage. This is usually to take in what I've seen, and I may move on to other shows as I wait out any type of burn-out, frustration or loss of interest due to real life interfering with my consumption rates or mood. Time_Wait is an extended form of pause; usually due to awaiting episodes to surface, usually because episodes have stopped and there's uncertainty as to whether the series will continue to be made available or if I need to decide to stop due to availability issues. Ratelimited is when I don't focus on a show due to it being long running, or have a lot of episodes left to finish. If I try to marathon them, I get burn out, and they get stuck on Time_Wait which I try to avoid

Ranma 1/2 (Paused) - Ratelimited.
Daganronpa (Paused)
Ultimate Otaku Teacher (Paused)
One Piece (Time_Wait_Extended) - Ratelimited.
If Her Flag Breaks (Paused)

I jump back and forth from time to time, but I'm watching Monster, Bleach, One Punch Man, Dragon Ball Super and Seraph of the End.

Similar in ways Bleach use to but because it isnt really releasing any more episodes and just manga im more into manga now. One Punch man manga and anime but im loving the quality of work, dragonball, z, and gt not many a fan of gt and super.

I quite a fan of pretty much all anime in a way just shows what was in the minds of others but i think budget places a big role in what you can actually create even thou iv seen many low budget animes that was very remarkable.

Well it's not.
Neither Avatar, nor Korra are anime.

 

[donavannj]

By the western definition, anyway. In Japan, both are anime.

Anyway, nothing new started since my last post, just more of the weeklies I mentioned at the start of fall season.

Sometimes i get alittle confuse on whats anime and whats not strange as i usually would say most cartoons/animes lol from japan are anime then you have all the american cartoons sometimes they feel more like anime, more down to art style then anythink i think not sure though or at times the similarity's between cartoons and anime are that different or you just get people saying japanese animes just cartoons. Dont really care how people label a anime or cartoon i guess i thing maybe its what the person views it as that helps define what it is properly wrong. Have a nice day everyone

And here we go again with this.
Imo, at best, they call it animeeshon without abbreviating.
I mean, why would Japan, of all places, call something absolutely unrelated to their product the same name...
I would actually appreciate if Akiba shed a bit of a light on this because I have no idea why would Japan categorize Anime and Cartoons together when they are so fundamentally different.

And one thing, as you say, at best it's Japanese thing, hence, someone who isn't Japanese shouldn't consider them as such, isn't that correct?

 

[JJ Styles]

Are you ready guys?

Spoiler:

Sengoku Basara Judge End. I just started watching this clustercluck of win, after I've forgotten about Sengoku Basara in general years ago. Basically the anime adaptation of SB3.

Because "anime" in the English language is a loan word from Japanese, which itself is the popular short form of the word animeeshon (Romanized form), which is just the Japanese form of the word "animation". The etymology is pretty straightforward and simple. In Japan, it's used to refer to all animation. Outside Japan? Not so much. Doesn't take being a native speaker or even knowing a whole lot of Japanese to find this information out.



ANYWAY, I've been slowly chewing through this week's episode of Yuru Yuri. It's been fun, but I've just not had the will to commit a proper 25 minutes to finish the whole thing in one go.

One-Punch Man

The current Anime I'm watching. Many rumored me about a new character that is EXTREMELY OVERPOWERED and UNBEATABLE that can defeat Goku and Superman in just one strike! LOL (unless Light from Death Note writes Saitama's name on the note *gulp Haha). Anyway, it is just my conscience to watch this. I've just begun today and done episode 1. Gonna watch more! XD

Recently done:
- Akame ga Kill
- Your Lie in April
- The World God Only Knows (Part 3)
- Attack on Titan: A Choice with No Regrets (Part 2)

Recent read Manga:
- Attack on Titan Chapter 75 (hyped for 76 for the usage of "electrical spears")

So basically an animation that comes from japan is Anime and what isnt is not simple unless theirs someone else that would like to add to this maybe ?

Using the Avatar series as an example, it's considered an American animated television series. You can get strung up on concrete definitions and borderlines between cartoons and anime, but in the end they are all animations.

I take back what I said before, because I said it on a whim, but I suppose I really would refer to the Avatar series as a cartoon or an animation, but not anime. In my previous post my mind was just going anime = animation = Avatar = just watched it and wanting to talk about it.

In my opinion, "anime" is just another way of saying Japan's version of cartoons. Some people don't see it that way, but if you don't want to offend anyone, then I would just stick to referring to everything from stick figure cartoons to Japanese anime as "animations."

Lol stick figures paper drawings, offending people seems just to happen whether you like it or not especially when they love it alittle more then you do in some cases.

So aside from watching Sengoku Basara Judge End, I totally forgot and just started to watch Monster Musume's anime adaptation and I've already washed my hands after one episode so I've got more to start. Now excuse me i need to buy more hand sanitizer ;)
