Nosebleed 4718 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I watched Railgun S1, then Index S1 and S2 and then Railgun S2 I was clueless about the order as well at first, but from my experience I usually recommend Index before Railgun S2 just because you get to know Touma for that Sister's arc. But it's still not a requirement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rainsismyfav 206 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It's quite "late" but I just started to get hooked to Parasyte. It's awesome so far I haven't gotten hooked on an anime in awhile~ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ceris 452 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Parasyte is freaking amazing, I really love it. The story is just so interestings. It's the only anime I kept up with from last season when I wasn't watching anything this season. rainsismyfav 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nosebleed 4718 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yuru Yuri Nachuyachumi. 1 whole hour of Yuru Yuri. I thought it'd be just a regular OVA but it was ONE ENTIRE HOUR. I'm moved to tears. It was very lighthearted and didn't have any over the top comedy, just good old slice of life with cute girls and yuri undertones. Let this sell well so we can get a season 3.

Kenshin_sama 1357 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I figured it was about time I came off my anime hiatus right about now and started getting back into things with Dog Days. Thought I'd start with something a little light and this is turning out as well as I hoped it would be. Always had a soft spot for vibrantly colored anime, so the designs are pretty much spot on for me. The heroines don't break away from the usual tropes you see in anime, but I'm not the type to dislike that kind of thing. Millhiore is an angel and I absolutely love her. <3 The battles are really enjoyable too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nosebleed 4718 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Finished Chihayafuru season 1. This was such an amazing show. Everything about it was done properly, i couldn't hate anything even if i tried. Starting season 2 now. I'm sure it can only get better. Naturally after that i'll also start the manga. I never thought a show about a card game with ancient Japanese poems could be this fun. Dreamysyu 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cloudy12 49 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Hoh... I passed on Chihayafuru cuz of the whole 'how good can show about a card game with ancient Japanese poems be?' thing, but I guess I should give it a shot later huh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I passed on Chihayafuru cuz of the whole 'how good can show about a card game with ancient Japanese poems be?' thing, but I guess I should give it a shot later huh ~~'Bout to finish Railgun, starting Ep 24. Random misc. comment about the end-game villain: A huge pet peeve of mine regarding villains is to have them be the 'corrupt leader of organization' types aka Therestina Kihara Lifeline. It's just soo unrealistic how they get into their position of power especially when their end game motives are utter crap and a complete 180 of what their organization is supposed to represent (I like my villains to have a damn good reason for doing the shit they do and Therestina's is just no). And to have all these MAR goons just going along with it and battling with Anti-skill and Judgement just makes me go "WTF is wrong with the hierarchy of this world?!@#"/rantAnyways GG time to watch Index TL;DR power-hungry villains are so boring and Index better not have any The whole second arc of both seasons of Railgun is filler material, none of it is in the manga.

XReaper 659 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 rest assured, i think index has pretty cool villains Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eclipsed 2056 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 @cloudy Uh oh. Don't hype it too much for me otherwise I might get the curse of going 'it wasn't THAT good!@#' @Ceris Makes sense then. Filler villains...... ~~ Starting up Index. Pretty excited so far, this is actually the first series for me where I'm watching follow-up material via sequel/prequel/sidestory/parent story etc.. It's a nice feeling to get to continue with a series instead of moving onto a completely new series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nosebleed 4718 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Just 3 episodes in and Chihayafuru is still going strong. I love the new additions to the club, it's like they're doing the same as season 1 but it feels so new and interesting. I don't like the opening song as much, but i've definitely become addicted to this series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had never know what it was before this show but it had been mentioned in several others (even Da Capo(!)) It seems like a fun game. Well I saw this show and the later installments of "Saki" at around the same time period, and I was thinking it was interesting to watch two shows about gamesmanship with such a huge difference in approaches...

Nosebleed 4718 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yeah i actually did end up looking up things about Karuta. The anime makes the game itself look quite fascinating and i took a liking to it. Even ended up watching irl matches and was fascinated to see how it all plays out with real physics, only to find out the anime is a pretty stellar representation of it, I can't say the same about Saki though because the show never teaches you much about mahjong, i never knew what the hell was going on i just guessed from the characters expressions and general common sense, and even if it did explain the rules the show is more about supernatural lesbians than anything else. In terms of the game itself, Chihayafuru is obviously superior. But i don't hate Saki either, they just take very different approaches to their themes. It is fun to compare the two.

Yeah I can see how Saki would be confusing if you hadn't played mahjong before... unlike karuta, I had played mahjong before (because there's no computer or console from Japan that doesn't have some sort of mahjong game on it) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy92 0 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Since I heard that there will be a new gintama season I am so excided that I am rewatching the whole anime, but I'm afraid I can't wait until april. I also just finished Grisaia no Kajitsu but I was so dissapointed, I think I won't watch the second season, when it comes out. I guess I'll give Railgun a try. Sounds promising.

Saki is one of my favourite series, all the yuri <3. Admittedly I started watching Saki because of the mahjong, since I can play (I suck though) but couldn't understand what was going on (point and combo wise) because it was japanese mahjong and not chinese. Obviously there for the yuri now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ezeefreak 136 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Only 2 Episodes left of HaNaYaMaTa (But I think HaNaTaYaMa would be more fitting ). The final rating will be decided after these 2 but I can now say it's only pending between 9 or 10. It's really great! The one thing I like the most about it is that it makes me laugh really hard in the one second and the next second it's so "touching" that you almost cry (or really ). I love that only one show till now could also do that and this was nothing less than Sakurasou. So I'm really looking forward to the last two episodes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finally i can get behind your opinion, though i won't forgive you if you don't rate it 10/10. Also i never "almost cried", i was bawling my eyes out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
