Anime/Manga NP: The Theory of Slice of Life

[Satoshi Ookami]

Aww Laptrap, so cute.

He's tsundereing, I see.

I still haven't watched SAO...it's on my to-do list. I've had an equal number of people telling me it's the best thing ever and that it's utter trash and to watch Log Horizon instead. I went with neither and watched Accel World instead...although I didn't care for it, because it meandered off course and didn't have a proper ending...and the protagonist was the sole short, chubby kid in a world of stick people. I'm all for diversity in anime, but I like to see it in more than one character...

Hm... I would say... Log Horizon > SAO > Accel World

 

[Sopheria]

I just recently watched Chaos;Head and I was really satisfied with the ending. It just had the opposite problem: it took too long for the action to start and for things to really make sense. I don't think they explained what was really going on until like episode 8 (out of 12). Until then we're all just left to wonder if it's all just in Takumi's imagination :P

 

[derozio]

I didn't watch that anime as I heard it was an inferior version of Steins;Gate. :p

Also, here's the new naruto OP I was so pumped for.


Underwhelming, to say the least. The song, by DOES's standards, feels kinda uninspired. Idk, the vocals just don't possess the energy they does in, say, this one (first 1 and a half minutes):

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Think the full version of the song will be better, that 90 seconds seems to have pretty bad arrangement to me. Seems like a grower. As for the visuals not a lot to comment on really, glad they included the lewd hand holding scene though.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

As for the ; series. I liked Chaos;Head more than Steins;Gate but Robotics;Notes the most.

 

[derozio]

Then I need to watch all three, I guess.

And hopefully the full version will be good. But I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Robotics is the only one I'd call good though.

 

[Sopheria]

I think that if you liked Steins;Gate, you'll probably enjoy Chaos;Head, even if not as much. I still have yet to see Robotics though, I'll probably check it out some time in the near future :P

 

[Darkwing Ducklett]

I was going to watch Robotics as it aired, but something else distracted me at the time. I think it's been dubbed now - or is in the process of being dubbed - so I'll probably watch it dubbed now...somewhen. I've got such a backlog. xD

I've seen both Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head, though. The former I adored, the latter I hated. Still haven't seen the follow-up movie for Steins;Gate yet though, and I really want to...I've not seen the Star Driver movie yet either, and that was released around the same time. Movies are always harder to find than series =/

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Still no subs for the Star Driver film. Horrible.

 

[derozio]

Steins;Gate movie was meh tier. It is highly overrated. The series itself was a good watch, though.

I'll watch Robotic;Notes and Chaos;Head sometime later. Once I finish Watamote, Soul Eater and Ergo Proxy.

 

[Netto Azure]

Robotics;Notes was meh. But it had my attention for a while.

Steins;Gate on the other hand was pretty good. Movie was ok-ish

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Not deep enough for Netto.

 

[Netto Azure]

Oh its not that. It was just I already spoiled myself before it got to the tweests.

"Sono me, dare no me" has caught another victim =D

S;G > R;N > C;H

Chaos;Head should have been 2 quarters anime like the others.

 

[Netto Azure]

I still need to see Chaos;Head. Which adaptation is the best?

 

[Seki]

I've only seen S;G, but I will eventually watch the other 2.

Meanwhile... Just seen the first episode of Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou, and I have a good first impression of this series already. And what's more Satoshi, HanaKana!

 

[Darkwing Ducklett]

Ooh, is that one worth picking up, do you think? I was going to give it a miss because it didn't immediately grab my attention, but I'm always open to recommendations~

I'm still not entirely sure what to pick up this season, actually. After skipping Zexal entirely I might try Arc-V, and Captain Earth looks good. I really should avoid the Escha & Logy anime since I've not played the game yet...

 

[derozio]

This season, Jojo, Mushishi, No Game No Life, Mahouka and a few others look interesting. Mangaka-san to Assistant-san's premise sounds funny.

I'll be watching a lot of these shows. Entered a club and we have a deadline of finishing Mushishi before 19th of this month. Shall start Mushishi 2 after that.

To me its worth it, but I have different tastes from other people.
