Mevvrynne Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Don't get me wrong, i watched a streak of depressing anime: Angel Beats, AnoHana, Clannad, Clannad After Story All in a row, and all for the first time too. I think I cried enough.. Clannad made me cry too and now i want something that'll cheer me up. I haven't watched Code Geass simply for the reason it's a mecha, however like i said i wanted something that'll cheer me up and i read that gurren laggan is a well put together shounen comedy with action and it has mecha so i figured it's just the right mixture of new elements and hilarity. Code Geass might be good but it's too dark for what i'm in the mood now. If i enjoy gurren laggan i'll watch Code Geass after as i'm aware it's highly rated. Gurren Laggan is a GREAT start for watching mecha, just a great anime all-around. As for Code Geass, I enjoyed it FAR more than I should have. Some of the characters seemed like they would really irk me as I watched it but, holy crap I was wrong. Code Geass is one of my favorites, mainly based on it's character development.

I have to wake up at 10am tomorrow and it's 3am and i can't stop watching Gurren Laggan, this really is entertaining As for Code Geass i shall watch it after when i'm in a mood for a darker show.

Flutterz Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Currently watching Refrain and Kyoukai no Kanata as they come out. I also watch an episode of K-on every now and then when I have the time. It's good, but I can't afford to spend a whole day watching it.

Exactly my thoughts on the matter as well as on Gurren Lagann. I plan on watching that at some point simply because people tell me it parodies and makes fun of the mecha genre (and I guess the shounen genre as well). I don't remember if I mentioned it in an earlier post or not but I've been watching Tari Tari. Exactly my cup of tea. Kind of mad I didn't watch it around the time it aired. It certainly would've been extremely relevant to me since I just started college at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I plan on watching that at some point simply because people tell me it parodies and makes fun of the mecha genre (and I guess the shounen genre as well). Actually it doesn't. That's a common mistake made by people who don't want to like robot anime for some reason. TTGL is fun, really fun, but it's 100% serious on what it's doing. It's not a parody, it's a tribute. A tribute to the old super robot shows, Getter Robo being its main influence, but it also places itself in a very logic continuity of super robot anime of the early 2000s (see Mazinkaizer, New Getter Robo, Zegapain, Gaiking, etc...) I'm starting to trail off after two sentences. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanleys Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Finished Zero no Tsukaima so I'm moving on to season 2 and I have to say, it's slightly pissing me off the way they are turning Saito into a major league pervert these first few episodes.

Beware, it'll turn into a harem soon enough. Though Zero no Tsukaima is one of my favorite anime of all time, mainly because it was a first in pretty much everything and it was what got me into anime itself but I can picture myself not liking it if i watched it for the first time now. It's still worthy of praise as it actually has some decent conclusion and no harem endings. Saito will get a grip eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god, I was especially shocked in the first episode where it seemed like he was trying to hit on every girl in his sight, even though he finally got Louise to accept him as an equal, more or less Figured I should put that in spoilers, just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosebleed Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I've been watching Gurren Laggan since i've come from school. I can't believe i haven't given it a try before. I feel like i'm a kid again watching explosions and robots, feels pretty nostalgic and at the same time it's awesome. This show gave me a better opinion on the mecha genre at least. 4 more episodes and then on to finishing Hidamari Sketch and watching Blood Lad.

Silvachief Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Finished Toradora and really liked it despite not liking some of the characters. I've dropped everything else i'm doing to go and play the PSP VN. Starting Kaze no Stigma now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanleys Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Starting Kaze no Stigma now. I remember that one. That was one of the first anime that I had ever watched, back when I would still would only watch english dubbed ones. From what I remember it was actually very enjoyable, though the ending left much to be desired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forythos Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I don't know how Kanon 2006 could cheer someone up, it's one of the anime I cried the most on lol. >_>;; I finished Ichigo Drop today. It was very touching, I really liked it. I also watched the Hanasaku Iroha : Home Sweet Home movie, which was very good, watched Ishida to Asakura, which was funny but not that great, and started House of Five Leaves.

solidbatman Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Knocked out Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion. I really hope the Third Exhaust delivers because I really enjoy the setting and story. But the second film lacked any sort of punch and wes just all set up for the finale, I hope.

Down Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I just watched the first Precure All Stars DX movie. I feel like an 8-year old kid in front of a Christmas present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidbatman Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Finished the Mardock Scramble Trilogy with the Third Exhaust just now. Disappointing, yet good. I feel like, that with a longer runtime, these 3 movies could have been incredible, but instead falls into the "good" category. Maybe there just wasn't enough to adapt from the novels, but not having read them, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoom909 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I just finished Rozen Maiden (the old one). Don't know how I let this one slip thru the cracks, it was great. But at least now when I watch the newer one I should be more prepared. I'm re-watching Mirai Shounen Conan which is a great adventure show, it's one of the oldest anime's I'm willing to watch--most 70's anime the art is intolerable for me but since this is Hayao Miyazaki it ends up looking really nice, actually. I'm also watching the new Star Blazers--sorry--Space Battleship Yamato 2199 at my friend's house--he has the blu rays. And I'm watching a show called Hentai Ouji to Warawarenai Neko, which is actually kind of not making a whole lot of sense, but I like it anyway, you can probably guess why.
