I've only seen the first LOGH film, being a plastic anime fan is suffering.

Charizard★ June 13th, 2011 1:35 PM

Never seen it, I might tho. Not sure yet.

Ah, I'm getting excited for next seasons anime even tho they haven't announced them. This season let me down :/

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 1:41 PM

With AnoHana, Yaoi Exorcist, Enma kun, TWOGK2, Steins;Gate and parts of C and Hen Zemi this season has been pretty high tier, best season in a long while anyway.

Next seasons chart isn't impressing me a whole lot although that is made up for by the inclusion of Bunny Drop. :D

Isn't next season winter? Unless the summer season hasn't started yet? I'm confused. I though Usagi Drop was is a summer anime? -headdesk-

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 1:54 PM

It's currently the last few weeks of the Spring season. The summer season starts when the first of the next season airs (Blade by the site I use).

Ohh. What site do you use?

Anybody see those Ore no Imouto Commentary episodes? I'm wondering if they're worth downloading or not.

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 2:00 PM

This. Next seasons Thursdays are going to be awesome, Usagi Drop, Blood-C and the Studio Bones series.

I didn't care for the series enough to try those, you liked it so it's prolly worth a try.

Is it worth watching Blood-C if you haven't seen Blood+?

Alrighty then, I'll give it a go. I wonder if there will be a season 2 of it...

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 2:13 PM

Yeah it's a completley new story, it's Clamp though so expect lots of Bishounen/Bishoujo, everyone's sexuality to be ambiguous, pimped out wardrobes and of course an open ending.

End Of Evangelion opening scene....I guess that's one way to relieve your stress Shinji, pretty brave that for him. o.O

Ryoutarou June 13th, 2011 2:13 PM

Blood-C is supposedly just a retelling of Blood the Last Vampire (which is also what Blood+ was) so you're probably good to watch it.

Oh lord. Yeah, that scene just made no sense to me...as tends to be the case with that entire movie.

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 2:22 PM

Spoiler:

-Shinji whining
-touching moment
-touching moment
-boobs out of nowhere
-ok....just put her back

-Oh no you're not
-He did

Strangely he won and lost respect at the same time.

I thought Blood-C was a completley original...well alternate universe type thing.

Yeeeeah. There's all sorts of wtf going on in that movie and this scene totally sets the tone for most people.

That is what an alternate story is. :P It's all the same characters in a different story, if it were completely original it would be random bishounen vampire #1689 from CLAMP.

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 2:36 PM

I think they've changed the characters, well apart from the main characters first name that is. I'm a Nana Mizuki fanboy so I'm very much looking forward for seeing the new Saya in action.

Oh, and although it isn't needed I'd still watch the the original film and series at some point. It may just be nostalgia goggles but some of that series was really awesome.

Charizard★ June 13th, 2011 2:37 PM

Okay, then I should enjoy Blood-C :P

I feel like rewatching some Gundam, even tho I didn't like it when I first watched it ._.
Is the new season a sequel to anything?

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 2:48 PM

I think the new series is a completley new setting although it's probably best to go into it with some knowledge of the Gundam world though. Honestly I dunno though.

Although if the only mecha series you've liked is Geass...going straight into Gundam is an odd choice i'd have thought.

Ryoutarou June 13th, 2011 2:49 PM

The new season is a totally independent series.

You should try to get into Turn A Gundam, it's the least mecha of all Gundam series and...well hard to explain. One of those shows you really have to see for yourself to appreciate. Plus, Romi Park as a lead in a Gundam series? Most awesome idea ever.

Which Gundam did you end up seeing that you didn't like?

I also like Ghost in the Shell, which is mecha, but idk if it counts since it's more 'police' type or something.

Alright I'll give it a go, and I'm not sure really, I just remember seeing it on SyFy a while back. What Gundam is your theme from?

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 4:27 PM

I forget that cyberpunk series often feature mechs of some kind.

As we're talking about mecha series do any of you rate this.

Saving the world from aliens to a J-pop soundtrack? why not.

Ryoutarou June 13th, 2011 4:30 PM

Ah, that was probably Gundam 00. I liked the first season well enough, but the second kind of second and it wasn't that great as a whole.

My theme is from Turn A Gundam, featuring the Gundam itself in it. Anywho, if you're looking to get into Gundam, these are shows I'd recommend based on genre (outside of Turn A which rocks anyway and if you like slice of life, you'll probably like it)

Action-Adventure: Gundam X and G-Gundam. Neither are too incredibly deep, but they are solid shows and they've got fun and fast paced stories for the most part.

Depressing-kill-you-dead: V Gundam and Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. Especially the second on, it's a short OVA series but one of the most loved from the franchise.

It's a decent show, the ending kind of makes you want to kick something. The original series has a much more satisfying end and Macross 7 is a pretty awesome space adventure.

Aren't there over 50 types of Gundam shows? (Including movies, specials, etc.)

I'll take a look at those, but right now my minds on Kamen Rider and Ghost in the Shell :B

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 4:44 PM

I'd give 00 a try, Ginga and Kamiya are on the same voice cast. :o

Ryoutarou June 13th, 2011 4:45 PM

50? Nooo no no. XD There are 10 series, three original movies, 10 OVAs and a bunch of manga that don't really factor in.

I would like 00 a bit more if it was more subtle than hammering you over the head with a brick.

That's not what MAL says :<

But, I'll give the ones with the highest scores a shot and Turn A :D

Weeaboo Name June 13th, 2011 4:56 PM

Specials, specials everywhere.

Also, stumbled across this from that link. For some reason i can't imagine Kiminozo parodying anything, i guess it was like the School Days mahou shoujo or something. ^^

Ah. Wasn't counting a lot of those since they're essentially just recap movies. Seems like a few manga are listed as well, and random CGI shorts that never aired outside of conventions or come as extras with model kits, nothing you're really missing out on. XD

But yes, Turn A! It's an awesome series. :D
