Anime/Manga NP: The Theory of Slice of Life

[Netto Azure]

Its a Tablet. Easier to hide stuff.

 

[derozio]

I know but...I have newphews who are always around me lel. Either way, doesn't seem like it does have nudity. ;p Seen 4 episodes.

Oh, and I saw OP after a few weeks. The One Piece anime is inconsistent as ♥♥♥♥. It sometimes feel like they're dragging the episodes. But this latest one felt kinda natural with the progression. Didn't feel dragged out at all. Looked like it was handled by a competent director. I wish all episodes were like this one.

 

[Phazon Elemental]

Speaking of older shows, I really need to get around to watching more of GinTama and Legend of Galactic Heroes. Both of which I have more than a hundred episodes each of which remaining.

Thankfully I am really good at staying awake for a really long time.

 

[derozio]

Get to it. :p Gintama is awesomesauce - speaking from personal experience - and LoGH is loved by most that see it. :3 I wanna watch LoGH asap. But I'll marathon it in college. Which will start in two-three months. Will continue watching short series and follow weekly ones till then.

 

[Phazon Elemental]

GinTama is probably one of my favorite anime, what I've seen of it -- closely tied with The Big O and Gundam 0080, though those are mostly for different reasons. LoGH is, so far as I've seen, very, very good. It kind of reminds me of a lot of the classic Gundams but with fewer giant robots, so far, both in terms of general subject matter (space, warfare, etc.) and that a lot of sequences are pretty harrowing.

I have a lot of time this week, I can easily chip a little off my backlogs on both shows, especially since I'm only watching two new series this season (Akuma no Riddle and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders -- as you might expect from my title).

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

All of those shows ARE pretty good. At least that's what some of my trusted sources say. :p I plan to watch them sometime soon too. For now, watching Ergo Proxy on Aunt's tab. Just hope it doesn't have nudity. ;;

Nope. Ergo Proxy has no nudity iirc.

Revolutionary Girl Utena
Space Adventure Cobra
Macross
Nadesico
Slayers
Hidamari Sketch
Uchouten Kazoku
Aria
Detroit Metal City
Boogiepop Phantom
Ghost in the Shell
Lain

All of those are loads better than that and on Hulu. Get to it.

Oh, finally a good choices, Lap.

 

[derozio]

Well, ♥♥♥♥. I'll still watch till episode 6 or something anyway. As I have them downloaded. :B

 

[Pokestick good times.]

For some reason one of my usually quite reasonable friends decided to show me parts of the climax of Ergo Proxy. It didn't exactly make much sense to me, but I sort of don't want to watch it (for a while at least) because of that. Climaxes are best when accompanied by the buildup, let's just say.

 

[Sopheria]

That was kinda how Queen's Blade was for me. I inadvertantly saw the climax first, didn't really care for it, then I saw the entire thing and it put the climax into context. Sadly I already knew what would happen though...

 

[Weeaboo Name]

I liked the first half of Ergo Proxy a lot more than the second. Was still a pretty decent ride though.

 

[Netto Azure]

I've seen someone watch it I think. Don't have time to pick it up tho.

Climax?

Endings were never forte of shorter anime :/

 

[derozio]

Gonna stay the hell away from spoilers. :p I've seen upto episode 7 as of now. It is good-ish.

 

[Sopheria]

Just watched Gokukoku no Brynhildr. I think this is going to be my anime of the season :)

 

[Weeaboo Name]

I read the first 10 chapters of that to see if I'd made the right choice in dropping it. I did. If you're into things with blood everywhere and the blandest characters ever then you'll enjoy it.

I was hoping it would be like Another, that was terrible but fun. This is just bad.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Well, ok then. Have fun, I suppose.

 

[Sopheria]

Well, ok then. Have fun, I suppose.

Eh, I probably worded that totally wrong, but meh, whatevs.

 

[Noire]

I know I'm not the only one, but I can't recommend Ghost in the Shell to anyone. Anime-wise. It's just dull? Every time I try to watch it, I've fallen asleep

 

[Weeaboo Name]

First Ghost in the Shell film was fantastic. Stand Alone Complex was entertaining. Second film was a little pretentious for my liking but the visuals were stunning.

So yeah, it isn't dull.

 

[Darkwing Ducklett]

I quite enjoyed Ghost in the Shell. The first gig more than the second (although I did like Gouda - as an antagonist he was quite memorable) and the movies were pretty good.

I'm annoyed they changed the dub voice actors for the compilation movies, though. And I really didn't care for the first prequel movie...I would have preferred a full sequel series set after Solid State Society. Movie projects just seem lazy to me.
