Arlong was one of my favourite arcs, probably the best one before they hit the grand line, next to Loguetown, of course. :) Episode 70 is near the beginning of the Baroque Works saga, right? Probably the best one during their time in the Grand Line so far if you ask me. :)

Weeaboo Name June 12th, 2011 6:58 AM

Oops, meant to say 80. Yeah that's the arc, pretty good so far. Miss Valentine has to be one of the more annoying villains i've found in all of my time watching anime. ^^

Alternative June 12th, 2011 8:31 AM

Miss Valentine was one of the more annoying antagonists in the series. She's just some weirdo who is a lemon. :P

I know one thing is that 4kids, back when they dubbed OP had skipped an entire arc, the Little Garden one to be exact. You say you've gone past there, so I thought I'd let you know that. :)

Weeaboo Name June 12th, 2011 8:46 AM

Bit of an odd one to skip, it was a pretty light-hearted arc after some of the previous stuff. How much did the wreck the Bellemere part of the Arlong arc? invisible guns? ^^

Alternative June 12th, 2011 8:51 AM

I can't remember offhand. Maybe Bellemere stuck a stick down Arlong's throat or something? But I wouldn't know I haven't seen the 4kids version in such a long time.

All I know about the Little Garden arc is that they cut it out completely due to being too heavy in violence and guns and whatnot, because of the giants. They then went on to blame Nami's illness on the Grand Line's climate.

Weeaboo Name June 12th, 2011 8:59 AM

Ah, right. 4kids are amusing sometimes though.


Also NGE 14, I thought i was watching Lain for a minute there.

Alternative June 12th, 2011 9:03 AM

I have no idea what Helmeppo's holding to Cody's head there. It looks like some sort of gun, or a springy plunger, or a defibrilator or all three put together or something idk. :P And I did look up the changes in the Arlong Arc. It's something like Nami's past was cut down by half, a lot of the fights were cut down, Bellemere was never shot, but instead trapped in a dungeon or something. It's confusing. :P

You're right it is, but I was wondering if the anime followed the anime.

Ga-Rei Zero is the prequel to Ga-Rei

Just finished watching Cowboy Bebop, and I really liked it, for the most part. Maybe it's because it was less 'weird' than FLCL, or maybe because the episode count meant more backstory for the characters, but I definitely enjoyed it. Still need to see the movie, though...

Alternative June 13th, 2011 4:45 AM

I've never seen Cowboy Bebop. Isn't it some kind of japanese musical gunfight anime or something? It sounds like it lmao. XD

I'm still watching Highschool of the Dead, thanks to Charizard's suggestion. I really do like it, and I hope to finish it tonight. It feels like it's too short though, as I would've loved to see more to the zombie apocalypse anime. :]

I finished the True Route of the OreImo anime recently. I need to get around to finishing Madoka, as well.

Charizard★ June 13th, 2011 7:22 AM

I haven't even touched Madoka yet, and I'm beginning to get bored of this seasons anime so I'm rewatching some old ones. I haven't seen the specials of OreImo, but I'm going to get to them soon hopefully, and the same goes with HotD special. Just got a external hard drive which mean more anime/manga/Japanese Drama/etc. Funny thing, it was 2TB and right after I added all my anime/manga it dropped down to 1.4 TB. And that was only after a year. /._.

No, it's not, but that would be amazing if it was. It's a space western show.

Haha, if you liked HotD then try Elfen Lied it's not zombies or anything but it's similar in the fact with blood and such. Hyakka Ryouran: Samurai Girls &
Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? are also two other ecchi action ones that are pretty decent also.

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 7:34 AM

Space western with an awesome cast, music and slick animation for the most part. The manga version was pretty damn terrible though.

Oremo specials were great..... until the last episode.

300gb is enough memory for me, well until I want to start keeping stuff long term anyway.

What was wrong with the last episode? On second thought, don't answer, I want to find out by myself haha.

Well, for some reason, I can't bear to delete anime, I rewatch the ones I like every once in a while, but I'd like to keep them as a collection.

Dropped Seikon no Qwaser. Seriously had problems with it. It was messed up.

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 7:54 AM

More messed up than KissxSis, Oretama and Sundome? :o

Kiss x Sis, I fairly enjoyed, Oretama never seen, Sundome a bit weird, haven't finished, but yea it's more messed up than all of those combined. (This is not a spoiler it says on the synopsis) a being who gets more powerful by drinking breast milk? It's just messed up.

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 8:05 AM

I think that method method of powering up should be in every powerlevel shonen series. Haven't actually seen the series but it sounds genius.

*back to my CCS episode*

Charizard★ June 13th, 2011 12:03 PM

Dragon Crisis isn't that bad now that I'm getting into it.


Also, I'm going to start to rewatch GITS since the last time I watched it was 7 years ago ._.

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 12:50 PM

I dropped Dragon Crisis after about 2 episodes i think. I don't think it was terribad i just didn't feel like it at the time.

Downloading the GITS movie now. It's a part of the establishments anime you have to see sort of list so yeah, I'll check it out at least.

Finished Neon Genesis Evangelion... Pseudo-Intelligence for the last 2 episodes were pretty fail but the rest, especially episodes 18-24, were awesome. I can see why people both slate and adore the series, did feel like a poor mans Utena and Lain in places though. On to the movies I guess.

Well, you should finish it, it's a nice anime, some good parts every now and then and it's pretty pleasing.

What do you mean 'you have to see sort of list'?

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 1:09 PM

You know, the "top 10*insert media medium* to see/read before you die" type lists.

Off the top of my head most lists look something like;
Cowboy Bebop
Lain
NGE
Akira
GITS
LotGH
....ect.

Ooo, gotcha. I'm watching Cowboy Bebop at the moment, and it's not bad. Pretty good actually.

LotGH? That's Legend of the Galactic Heroes right?

jigglyppuff8 June 13th, 2011 1:20 PM

You can't call yourself a true animation fan unless you've seen Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I don't by the way.
