New Anime Season

[Jabberwock]

I gave up Nabari no Ou. Absolutely couldn't stand the main character and his pussy behavior. Shit, if they wanted to make him so over the top feminine they might as well of made him a chick. But then again I'm not sure if the intended audience was female anyway.

The manga is supposed to be a generic shounen with action and martial arts, but imo is more like Loveless x Ninja crap with bishounens or whatever ... Plain stupid (at this point and possibly forever).

[desterion]

I thought it would get better, but it's obvious it never will be.

[Lucky-7]

The second I saw the anidb I knew it would be shit. But my animu EXPERTISE was doubted, and "doubters" still decided to "give it a try".

Needless to say, I've been proven right.

One thing that's funny about the show (I'm told) at one point the teacher uses an english textbook to read to the class. Ash tells me this book is real, as she used it herself when she taught in japan.

[sothis]

so the next one i have to watch for adding purposes is penguin no musume heart - am i going to want to kill myself after watching it, similar to kanokon? :/

[Jabberwock]

I passed on Kanokon, but if you like cosplaying female characters in demi yuri competition, the 1 ep. will be enough to decide.

I always figured it to be a Naruto with a much more fruity main character.

[desterion]

kanokon is so bad it's sickening.


20 faces is shaping up to be great now. They're able to take the thief theme and do some great stuff with it.

[sothis]

kanokon is so bad it's sickening..

big time.

just watched penguin musume 1-3, it's almost as bad... actually probably equally as bad. -_-

[emetic]

Hay
what's on the watchlist?
I'm watching RD Sennou CHou because it's awesome. The OP is groweing on me too. I'm also watching Chi's Sweet home because it's mega awesome. Koi no sweet kuso meriken.
My typign's awful because I;'m tired. izvinite.
20 faces musou machine is col. I don't watch it, but it's cool.
Is that all which is worth downloading at the moment? Hmm.

[Lucky-7]

You're missing out on Kaiba and Golgo13

[rinjichan]

kanokon is like reverse loli. It's so frightening I can't stop.

[emetic]

You're missing out on Kaiba and Golgo13

Oh yeah, I forgot about Kaiba. Oh wow, ep 5 has been released and I missed it o_o zoom.

[emetic]

So I'm downloading the first ep of Mnemosyne no musume-tachi. It's 700MB for an ep (what?) and taking ages... so someone tell me if it's any good o_o jsut while I'm waiting. Also downloading an ep of Project Blue but probably won't watch it for a week becasue I have a bit of a backlog. Is that any good either?
It seems liek no one here is watching anything at all really o_o? No one aimlessly talks about what theyt're watching o-o

[KasugaSan]

oh ...umm...ok...random anime right?

OH liek why is rumbel taking so long to sub soul eater! Soul Eater is liek teh seck!!! I luv soul eater...soul eater is my life lulzzzzzzzz

ZOMG liek..Golgo13 has teh biggest gun!! That's so turns me on...I bet he turn every men gay too lulzzz

Real Drive is like so weird...I bet the girl likes the old man romatically..that's so sick lulzz


Note for the stupid: none if that is my true opinion...well except Real Drive cuz that girl is just fuckin' weird >_>

[Shakedown 1979]

Out of all the new torrents ive been seeing the only one ive downloaded is the remastered cowboy bebop

[bakam0n]

i signed up for this board to find out about new animes to watch but it seems that there is a paradigm here: no one on this anime board seems to like anime.

[silverace99]

-_- why would we be here if we didn't like anime

[derrio]

Someone cut through the bullshit and give me a comprehensive list of the latest anime out, and their genres.

Please, for Christ's sake, do this. I really would like to know.

[desterion]

It's different here. Most of the guys hate pretty much all anime.

[silverace99]

Boom: Daughter of Twenty Faces, Library War, Soul Eater

Bust: Real Drive (it's not as cool as it pretends to be) and Blassreiter (probably takes Dumbest Show of the Year award)


And dest you make it sound like we're bitter old men (which we might be >_>), but the truth is most anime IS crap... it's the few that aren't that keeps me in it though.

Real Drive is great it's my second-favourite of the season (behind Chi's Sweet Home, of course) o_o It has cool animation and it's not really like anythign else coming out at the moment. It possibly suffers from Shirow Masamune something something... I mean, he just churns out a lot of stuff wit hthe same basic theme. But it's great anyway.


For Derrio:
http://animenfo.com/animebyyear.html

My synopses:
Chi's Sweet Home: Awesome. Sweet stories about a kitten.
Real Drive: sci fi, robot hot girls, people who 'dive' into a huge internet mind thing. Except the mind thing is like the sea and the people who dive are literally divers o_O idk, it's cool anyway.
Daughter of Twenty Faces: Mildly interesting. A thief organisation headed by a charismatic dude who takes a young girl in tow and they foil bad guys' plots and take a token piece of jewellery.
Mnemosyne no musume tachi: Sci-fi, dark futuristic kind of thing. Big-breasted invincible woman runs a detective agency (lah) but it might turn out ok.
Toshokan Sensou / Library Wars: Great Tomboyish girl joins a military force to shoot the dudes who try to censor books. It's a silly concept. A little political, a little silly. It's kind of like Pumpkin Scissors in that the army force is lame.
Shion no Ou: (last season but slow subs) o-o um. sports anime about Go and psychology. the art looks like Jigoku Shoujo. I don't really like it but my girlfrined is addicted.
Kurenai: looks interesting. there's a dude who checks out stuff adn likes to fight. I havne't seen it/
Kaiba: Surreal, fantastic, sci-fi bizarreness. Looks kind of 50's o_o but the art style definitely works in its favour to express the poignancy and such. cos lots of people die in dramatic ways, but it's not a standard gore/violence based thing. SO yah, 10/10 on the cool scale.
Amatsuki: Present-day-ish schoolkid thrown into Edo-era tokyo with fantasy monsters and desu eye powers. Meh, but idk, if you like that sort of thing it's probably interesting.
soul eater: shitty teen mahou shoujo with a twist.
himitsu: the revelation: shite. tries to be serious with a whole thing about getting memories from dead people and using them to eat murderers' livers or something like that . I forget. It was very dumb.
golgo 13 Again, I haven't seen it. I can't imagine that I'd like it. THe original movie was a super duper macho-fest but I get the feeling that this one is just cashing in and won't be able to capture the pure cheese awesomness of the original.

that's about it, afaik.

[KasugaSan]

I kinda look forward to this fall season tho

but i do agree with silvy about Real Drive, compared to Ghost Hound I think Ghost Hound is better; which goes to say that Shirow Masamune's anime really depends on the director's take, imho

Real Drive seems forceful and the girl acting as a comic relief is not that amusing
and her skirt is too short she should just take it off

[emetic]

SHe's not comic relief o_o she's a counterfoil to Haru's quiet wheelchairy wise nature. She's, like, his opposite. a yin and yang dynamic, perhaps.


and wow, I didn't know Masamune SHirow had anythign to do with Ghost Hound (which is just getting better and better, despite the super slow subbing) o-o
I see he's listed as the Original Creator again... hmm, I wonder what sort of input he had in this one.

As far as Real Drive goes, he just designed a cool poster and some dudes decided to work it into a whole anime. It's weird.

[KasugaSan]

I still find Minamo weird, ditsy and annoying nonetheless

[emetic]

I just looked "counterfoil" up in the dictionary but it seems to bear no relation to what I actually meant. Hmm
