Niko Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Anyone that hasn't watched Kobato. Do it. Do it right now. One of the most beautiful and underrated shows i've seen. I loved every minute of it. Nosebleed likes it? Since we have extremely similar tastes, I'm sure I'll like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forythos Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Good. I'm pumped (: I heard Kobato was extremely good. What's your opinion on it? Kobato was a recommendation I got on this forum and I wasn't disapointed. Visualy it's nothing spectacular, but the story and characters are really interesting. This show managed to make me both laugh a lot and cry a little as well. I still have four episodes left to watch though, and I expect major feels ahead.

I cried more than once at several stances and overall the show just captivated me to cheer for Kobato as well as make me want to watch it till the end. You get emotionally attached not just to the main characters but the side characters as well. Kobato's journey to reach the place she wants to go is one i will never forget and i recommend this show to anyone anytime. It is one of the few shows i wholeheartedly gave a 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidbatman Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Katanagatari 2 episodes in and I love it. Of course, I think I love everything Nisio Isin does. Guess its time to get into Medaka Box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxter0987 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Finished season 1 of Working!! I didn't like Inami much at first but she grew on me. Also, hopefully Maya gets more screen time in season 2 since she piqued my interest when she was randomly introduced at the end of season 1 T.T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosebleed Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Maya makes cameos in season 2 and has a big role at the end just like season 1. Don't expect much from her during the second season. I think that's one of her cool traits though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoom909 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Watched Hayao Miyazaki's "Kaze Tachinu" about the guy who invented the Zero. Looks fabulous on Blu-Ray. Buuut, it would be wasted on you Imaishi lovers. There's a kid next door to me who makes flip-books with crayola crayons that'd be better for you--he's got a really "original" style. After all, all art is equally good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't exactly know what you mean by that. It's not a very original design but every Ghibli movie has gorgeous animation, approximately the best that can be produced nowadays. Seeing planes or scenes like the earthquake at the beginning animated this well, in 2D, in 2013 is pretty close to orgasm, honestly. Or maybe I didn't understand what you wanted to say. Happens to me a lot and I end up ranting away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens to me a lot and I end up ranting away. It was just kind of a silly way of saying, I cannot appreciate avant-garde style in anime, just as I fail to enjoy abstract modern art. So, it's nice to see that in 2013 a great-looking movie was made using what I think of as the traditional animation style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sakanaとkoeda Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Katanagatari 2 episodes in and I love it. Of course, I think I love everything Nisio Isin does. Guess its time to get into Medaka Box I need to finish Katanagatari, too~ I was also only a couple of episodes in, but I enjoyed it as well. Argh, new things keep showing up though T_T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceris Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Watched episodes 2-6 of Shugo Chara and am enjoying it. It'll take me a long time to get through it since I struggle to watch things past 50 episodes. I can marathon a 26 episode anime in one sitting but get bored if s show goes on beyond 60+ *shrug* Will be starting Kobato next week with Niko.

Forythos Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I finished Kobato last night. Much feels, yes, much feels... ;_; The ending was quite good, which is nice since this is often the most disapointing part in many series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Cat Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I have a huge feeling Kobato is going to be amazing. You can easily say I'm pumped~ Sure, I'll jump on the hype train too. I'm usually fond of Clamp and it doesn't look likes it getting Dubbed anytime soon so I'll watch it now as well (it can't be any worse than the Falling Skies season premiere last night). Edit: Just saw episode 1. Hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidShu Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Starting Love Live! S2. Also waiting for the last episode of NGNL and If Her Flag Breaks episode 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Clamp is pretty solid, but I was never a big XXXholic fan. Everything else though, is good! That's my favorite Clamp. Come fight me!

Haha, I had a friend back in high school who was really into XXXholic, though it never really pulled me in like Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. I really liked that one and enjoyed how good the OP was. Have you seen Tsubasa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Have you seen Tsubasa? Only read it. I was advised to not watch the anime because it's pretty bad except for the god-tier soundtrack. Don't know if it's true but since I read the manga it's not in my priorities anyway. I liked TRC, but I still prefer xxxHolic over it.

While the manga is probably levels above the anime, the show is actually a sweet tale and easily worth the watch. I liked it and that was back in like 07-08 when I was a bigger fan of the action based anime. Watch it sometime. Even if its like next year xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Though I don't know what the adaptation is worth) (And that's actually false, Sakura beat them all) Two against one let's do this. XXX-Holic, All, The, Way. Easily one of my favorite stories (I do agree the anime could have been better). I read both Holic and Tsubasa as they came out and loved them both. For me, who loves the supernatural, Holic was right up my alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
