Well, I tried convincing some of my close friends, and one of them gave it a try. But she was told by someone else, and it turned out the manga she was reading, was actually a yaoi hentai.....and she showed me some of the pictures, because the way she was describing it was something similar to Kanokon and at the time I haven't read that manga.....god I regret looking a the pic x.x

Agreed, anime will never really be an accepted entertainment form anywhere, I mean it's not even accepted widely in the nation they air.

Also, TWOGK is at one of my favourite arcs now.

Spoiler:

Season 2 really has been better than the first.

 

[Charizard★]

Has anyone seen Denpa Onna to Seishun? I'm planning on watch it soon and I just want to get some feedback on it. Oh and how about Baccano!

 

[jigglyppuff8]

People usually translate "Denpa Onna" as "Electromagnetic Wave Woman". I'd translate it as "Electromagnetic Wave Women". Seriously. All the chicks in this show are crazy. It's like Bakemonogatari plus Arakawa Under the Bridge. Mostly normal guy's interactions with crazy people.

Bacanno is just full of wonderful. Watch it.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

I gave my opinion on Denpa on your profile so I won't bother again.

Not seen Baccano! but it's always rated up there with Bebop and the other action big hitters so it's probably worth it. I've had this on my laptop forever but just haven't started it.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

To elaborate on Baccano, you'll probably hate it at first because you'll have no clue what's going on, but that should change as you watch.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

I'm a big fan of shows that keep you guessing like that, Lain, Utena and I guess Higurashi would be ok examples.

 

[digi-kun]

Touga, who'll do anyone as long as they have a hole
Akio, who'll do anything as long as it has a hole

Baccano is high up there. I just kinda wish they'd do more of the novels at some point.

Baccano kind of reminded me of Pulp Fiction if it was set in the 30's

I loved Pulp Fiction, so I'd rec Baccano

Ah, okay thanks for the input!

I'm mainly interested in it because it's based in Chicago, and I want to see how it's depicted. It should be pretty interesting, since I asked here and some other people and they all said they enjoyed it.

The first 4 episodes I saw made perfect sense. o3o

Also, Gintama 211, I lol'd, then I was sad, then I shouted awesome, then I was sad again. :C

YOUR FACE

Isn't Gintama more of a parody series than anything else? Something similar to Lucky Star or something?

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Lucky Star isn't exactly the best thing to compare it to. While it does reference other shounen anime liberally, it's still a shounen anime in essence. Meh. I'll just let the fantard take over in explanation from here.

 

[A Pixy]

I would draw comparison to The Simpsons. You think it's just some silly, stupid parody thing. But then you get attached to the characters and that's when the creator can do whatever he wants with your emotions. He made me sad. :C

So it's more of a comedy anime than anything? Is it worth watching? I know it's ranked pretty highly on MAl tho.

 

[jigglyppuff8]

Exactly. Depends on whether or not you would dedicate about 30 initial episodes of slow character character development before the show goes full throttle. And by full throttle, I mean filler filler filler ARC filler filler filler ARC etc.

Ah...I don't think I would really like that. Maybe when I have more free time, but not now. I'll put it on my to watch list tho.

Anyone like the series Denpa Onna?

 

[Weeaboo Name]

I'm not even sure if it's characer development in Gintama, it's more just you getting used to them. I've been watching it for months and I'm still not even half way through the first lot of episodes, still better than most comedy series out there so it's cool.

Also I'd say Gintama is nearest to Hayate no Gotoku! or strangely enough Cowboy Bebop imo(shoot me if you wan't).

Gotta love the random moments.

Spoiler:

As for Denpa, I answered the other day I think. Ok but far from amazing, it's like Arakawa but worse with an annoying lead.

 

[Charizard★]

/shoots Lapras.

Anyone seen Astarotte no Omocha? I haven't yet but the info on it is a bit odd....
Synopsis:

Spoiler:

In the medieval fantasy world of Alfheimr, succubus princess Astarotte Ygvar, the first princess of the kingdom of Ygvar, has just reached the age of 10. For the coming years of a young succubus' life, it is necessary for them to have a male harem. In order to maintain their body and preserve their beautiful appearance, they must consume a substance only found on males. This substance is a liquid called Sauzfryma, better known as semen. The princess, however, bears a great dislike against men, and only agrees to create a harem if a human male is to join.

Is it just me that thinks that it's a bit weird? I'm all for an ecchi anime, but this might just be too weird for me.
