/Insert 'What is this animu you speak of?' type question here.

 

[Edelweiss]

It does feel a little early for that sort of thing but no I was expecting some of this in Madoka★Magica. Really enjoying this series so far even if Mami's eyes are creepy.

Mami? I think you mean the devil in disguise Kyubei.

@Pixy: Obvs, we're talking about this manly thing right here.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

You do get the feeling Kyubei will be the final boss of some sort don't you.

 

[A Pixy]

Oh.

You gaiz make it sound like it's the best thing evar.

Is it? :U

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Maybe not the BEST thing evar, but pretty epic nonetheless.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Hmmmmm it is pretty awesome if you like magical girls and Akiyuki Shinbou.

 

[A Pixy]

I have some pretty high standards for 'Most Epic Thing Evar'. :U

What is it's AQ (Awesome Quotient) on a scale of 1 to 100? o3o

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Oh.

You gaiz make it sound like it's the best thing evar.

Is it? :U

Silly Pixy. Those titles are reserved for things like Cowboy Bebop, Code Geass, Vanishment, CLANNAD ~AFTER STORY~, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Gurren Lagann, and FMA: Brotherhood. Since no show will ever live up to these pinnacles of anime, we have to settle for talking about the most popular flavor of the season whose awesome quotient is probably no more than 50 when compared to the 100s of the aforementioned titles and will be forgotten the moment it ends and replaced with the next most popular flavor of the season. Just like every other season. :V

 

[A Pixy]

Oh.

I have a personal vendetta against FotM things.

I'm more of a 'Timeless Classic' type person. :U

In related news, I saw Evangelion 2.0 two days ago.

In the theatres.

It was epic. :U

Spoiler:

Shinji must've tapped into some Spiral Energy toward the ending.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

See this one? The is the bond that transcends all. People are talking and one mentions Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and suddenly, Woah! the respect meter suddenly shot up.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Too bad I haven't watched it and never plan to. :V

SILENCE! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WILL UNLEASH WITH THAT STATEMENT?

 

[Edelweiss]

All I know is that my tastes > your tastes. NO ARGUMENTS ALLOWED!

 

[Alice]

^ Your tastes better be the same as mine then, or you're just plain wrong.

 

[A Pixy]

I like One Piece.

No one else here does.

MY TASTES ARE CRAP BY DEFAULT.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

When i tried OP ages ago i also didn't like Naruto orBleach, I like both of those now so chances are i'll like One Piece. I was planning on trying it again after i finish Code Geass and Spice and Wolf.

 

[A Pixy]

I'm reading it right now.

I like the part of the story where it is entertaining and where Oda's assistants draws all those pretty landscape shots. And actually draws backgrounds. :U

 

[Weeaboo Name]

I usually like the entertaining parts of stories as well ;). I've read a little of the manga and yeah for it's genre the art is nice. Compared to Bleach's Blandness and Naruto's stupid amount of toner i would say OP is superior.

 

[A Pixy]

My favourite part of One Piece, outside of the fact that this can be readily summed up as a reconstruction of the Shonen Genre, it's characters have character, it knows what it wants to be and isn't in denial, it's funny, it uses it's art creatively, Oda foreshadows hundreds of chapters in advance, it blindsides you at random times, but my favourite part is that Oda knows exactly what he wants to do with his story. He wants to tell a story and the story just happens to be long. No one criticizes the Harry Potter books for being long. Seven Samurai was more than 3 hours long. Sometimes big stories take a long time to finish. He's already half done. It's not like he's spazzing to try to finish things and he isn't already foreshadowing the ending. He is in control. His story will be finished when he's finished. He isn't gonna make it long for the sake of being long (Naruto) and he actually cares about his creation, instead of being nonchalant and dragging his story out (BLEACH). He cares for his story and is willing to make it long. It seems to have paid off too. Best selling manga of all time is a pretty prestigious title. :U

 

[Shanghai Alice]

And actually draws backgrounds. :U

This post speaks

THE TRUTH

because an artist that can draw backgrounds is very talented indeed.
