Stray Cat Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Rather close to my ratings, I gave S1 a 7 and S2 a 4. The movie on the other hand... a masterpiece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the Barber Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I picked up The Rolling Girls yesterday, since I happened to pop into Funimation's panel about it at Sakura-Con. It is very weird, but very enjoyable. I've only watched the first two episodes, which turn out to just be the introduction of the "real" show. Both the sub and the broadcast dub seem good, though the dub is noticeably less overacted than the sub, which actually seems wrong - judging by the first two episodes, this show is supposed to be at 11, and it feels like the dub only goes to 10. It needs to be one louder. Â Also still watching Big Windup (currently something like 11 episodes in). It is still good, but only if you are a baseball fan. I fall a bit harder for Coach Momoe with every episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sub-zer0 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Currently watching Kiseijuu, I'm so hooked, haven't seen anything that has me this interested in a while...only a couple of eposides into it so far, but it keeps me going nonstop , I could probably marathon this in one day if given enough time, the music from this is automatically 10/10...op, ed, even the fight music, it is all amazing , story so far has got me hooked and interested, characters are also good, you can relate to them and the way they act,looking forward to what is going to happen next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Shinmai Maou was pretty terrible as a TV adaptation. But i can't deny the blu-ray version is kinda nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regenerate Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Rewatched Grisaia no Kajitsu with the brother last night to prepare for the OVA and the new season. Currently plowing through the first VN too. The text are so long I fall asleep through it sometimes, but I still want to make the effort to read all of it. No matter how long it takes. Waiting on Sekai Project to finish their translations on Meikyuu and Rakuen. Then I can die happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Shakugan no Shana reminds me of Mass Effect  The first one introduces the world, characters and lore >> promising  The second one has a particular focus on the characters but story wise kind of meanders >> enjoyable  Then the third one throws in this epic global-scale conflict, has little regard for what happened in #1 and #2 instead focusing on this one conflict with everybody temper tantrum doing whatever the hell they want my-way-or-the-highway style with no consulting others whatsoever and it's a long ass marathon of back and forth jumping around humpty-dumpty war explosion shenanigans until the very end in which you're just left with a 'k' expression once everything's all fine and dandy finally resolved thank the lords. >> ???  Shana can sum up S3 easily: Amen.  But hey, they finally kissed so 10/10 best animu  Oh and all things aside it was still a decent watch. Not as enjoyable as I'd hoped, but not disasterous either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Cat Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Durarara Season 2 as it comes out dubbed.  I'm to episode 5 and as you can guess I'm loving it.  Izaya's sisters are great. SanadaShadow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the Barber Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Marathoned about 10 episodes of Big Windup, and still have one completely-unrelated-to-the-previous-plot episode left (I keep thinking the show is over, since the last big arc ended, and then another teaser for the next episode keeps appearing...). I will reiterate my previous statements that if you enjoy baseball, this is a really great show. If you don't like baseball, you will probably loathe it, though, because they spend ridiculous amounts of time on single games. Still, although I enjoyed it, I'm looking forward to a change of pace after so much baseball... perhaps Accel World season 1 session 2.

Turnip Sensei Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I just finished Eureka Seven and just woah... The last 10 episodes captivated me completely. I was constantly either grinning, shedding manly tears or going awww, sometimes all at the same time. It still bugs me that they don't explain some of the terminology they use.  Now the problem is, that after such experience it's hard to start watching something else. Kenshin_sama 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as enjoyable as I'd hoped, but not disasterous either. Well, the ending itself is satisfactory since it's what you've wanted all along. But the ride until then was very convoluted, it's harder to enjoy, though in the end you still have to watch it if you want a conclusion to the story so I guess you could say it's one of those things you watch and then forget everything about it except the ending.

Eureka Seven is one of those spectacular shows that really bogs down just about anything you watch shortly afterwards. It was a very interesting series to follow, and I'd consider it a gem amongst others in the romance genre. So refreshing. Try to avoid the sequel if you can help it though, it wasn't nearly as good. I felt the first series shines for its characters and romance; the sequel had no romance and I had no attachment to the characters. It didn't do anything to fill in the storyline gaps from the original either and is even more convoluted with its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipsed Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I can't believe you haven't yet. Can u also believe I barely started watching anime starting this Jan Excluding the childhood pokemon and high skoo FMA/nardo/bleech/rip note, of course.

Nosebleed Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 You sound like me some years ago, the tsundere trilogy were some of my first anime (Zero no Tsukaima being the first and the best) and I was obsessed with anime after that, it's always a good place to start when you're a newbie. Â I have no doubts if I had watched any of these anime now I'd probably dislike most of them. Eclipsed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Cat Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I think when I really started getting into anime was around the time of Gurren Lagann and Mirai Nikki.   I've watched enough stuff to say I'm decently informed and I still enjoy almost everything I watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The more anime you watch, the more you realize how recycled everything in the anime industry is and the more likely you are to start disliking popular (and overused) tropes. Things start reeking of genericness and they don't faze you anymore since you've already been exposed to it so many times. It's a natural process to refine your tastes  But it's not to say you still can't enjoy stuff, I still enjoy lots of SoL which is considered meh/bad by many.  So really, it all comes down to how  your tastes develop, you may still like stuff like Zero no Tsukaima many years in the future. Nothing wrong with it. Eclipsed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray Cat Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I tend to prefer the darker mystery side to other things, which seem to be more unique than romance and SoL end up being, for now anyway.   Also, I'm the kind of person who can re-watch the same thing 5 times and still enjoy it so that probably helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
