Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu - 4/110

Yeah, you should get to that.

Haikyuu is about Volleyball. Also there were football series way before Whistle. Way before Captain Tsubasa even.
 
I think I can finish it in fifteen days once my college starts. ♥♥♥♥ing college. I want to get there asap, ♥♥♥♥. Then I'll marathon the ♥♥♥♥ outta every goddamn series on my PtW. I'll watch those considered classics first, though. LoGH, GiTs, Akira etc. Maybe even get into the Gundam series.
 
I've only seen Tsubasa Road to 2002 iirc. Or was iit something else. Been too long; wanna rewatch it.
 
I think only about 80 episodes of the main series have been subbed in English. Sucks that they never aired it over here despite our country inventing the sport and stuff. Aired in loads of other yuropean nations.
 
Surprise surprise, as it turns out, I've actually seen a bit of Hungry Heart. I heard its name but couldn't recollect. Mind remembers characters, though.

Is the actual main Tsubasa series available on the net subbed, lappy? Leave 80, I couldn't find more than 10 last time I searched for it like 5 years ago. Or maybe I was searching in the wrong places...
 
Ah, thanks! I'll check it out two months from now when I get my PC back. :p

also, lappy, what's your opinion on OP's, Naruto's, Bleach's and Gintama's OPs? Which series did you think had better openings as a whole? Just curious. :3
 
One Piece ones are usually the most fun. I'm most likely to listen to Gintama's ones in full. Bleach ones are probably best art direction wise. Naruto had some really great ones but they have been consistently forgettable during Shippuden.

Bleach opening 13 will eternally be one of my favourite anime openings.
 
I agree with most of it. Though Shipppuden gave us Sign and Diver and Lovers all three of which I liked quite a bit :p
My faves from each series -
One Piece - Tie between 13th One Day and 14th Fight Together
Naruto Shippuden - Sign
Bleach - Ranbu no Melody
Gintama - Sakura Mitsutsuki. Although I feel Togenkyou Alien, Gintama''s first Op, is the most accurate OP for the series.

Apparently DOES (donten, shura, bakuchi dancer) are doing the next OP for Naruto. Its gonna be legendary. :D
 
Looking over them again the first batch of Naruto ops were easily on part with Gintama's for listenability and the visuals were pretty nice. Depressing how dull the Shippuden ones have been. My fav from Shippuden was 7 I think. wooooooooooaaahhhhhhhhhh ohhohhh

My favs would probably be

One Piece - Hikari E
Naruto - Couldn't pick 1
Shippuden - Toumei Datta Sekai
Bleach - Ranbu no Melody - there are songs i much prefer but I love the art direction
Gintama - Same as Naruto

Also One Piece opening 13 is probably my least favourite from that series. Not awful but yeah.

There was also 1 memorable FT op! Song anyway.

I loved ranbu no melody both for the song and the visuals. The visuals were amazing. And I'm a SID fan. :p I need to listen to naruto OPs too. Been too long. Also, I found multiple FT OPs listenable. FT as a series had a good soundtrack too, I felt.

Unrelated but I sometimes wonder if anime studios, if they had the budget of a pixar movie, would be able to create amazingly animated 2 cour series or something. Or maybe 50 episode series. I heard the budget for one of pixar's or disney's movie is insane.
 
Yeah, Japan doesn't really into true animation quality, especially in series. Doesn't bother me though. I mean a poorly animated anime series still looks infinitely better than a majority of western toons nowadays. Did you see what they've done to Tom and Jerry?;_;

Also this.
Spoiler:
 
HOLY ♥♥♥♥ING ♥♥♥♥. Oh my god. I didn't know the difference in budget was this large. Wtf america. Give japan some moneyz u guys.

And what did they do to Tom and Jerry?
 
Yeah, that caught me off guard too. Didn't know the difference was this huge lol.

Anyway, I crave Kill la Kill episode 23, Log Horizon episode 25 (jumped like 100 ranks on MAL after it got compleded. The one fifth rule strikes again!) and One Piece episode 636 right now. Oh, and Noragami.

Also, suddenly have a very strong urge to watch Nana. Too bad I can't. Two more months. Fml. :(
 
Ahhh, hope Wowow gets another season. Don't think it was selling particularly well but those government funded toons don't really need to. That being said I don't think there would be enough source material for another 25 episodes, LH s2 in 15 months time pls.

Yeah, being an NHK funded show, it can get another season even without selling well :p I still have yet to see the last episode but heard wowow animated 5 volumes of the series in this 2 cour show. Only 7 volumes out now. No LH for a year or two. :[

also, heard author planned it to be a 15 volume series.
 
5 of the best shows from the last 6 months end soon. Going to be a sad couple of weeks.

1 - Nagi no Asukara
2 - Kyousougiga
3 - Ippo
4 - Gin no Saji
5 - Samflam
6 - Wowwow
