Manga/Anime Discussion

Just finished watch Blood+ yesterday. It is aweeeeeesome.

 

The movie, Blood: The Last Vampire, has nothing to do with the actual anime does it? Is it worth watching anyone?

 

Also, Fairy Tail DDDD: Lisanna

[Harakiri]

Jumping back and forth between the Rurouni Kenshin anime and Trigun. Trigun is pretty awesome, and so is the Kenshin anime, minus the voice actors, most of whom I don't feel fit the characters.

Reading The Legend of Koizumi.

 

[hide= spoilers]Because The Pope, Vladimir Putin, Bush father & junior, the Japanese Prime Minister and the Prime Minister of Ukraine, all of them playing Mahjong against Hitler and his Nazis who have built an army in the moon is just too awesome.[/hide]

 

And I heard it's getting an Anime adaptation soon.

Seriously?

 

All I can say is...DUUUUUUUUUWHAAAAAAT?

 

Then I remember we are talking about Japan, and anything is possible.

Maybe they will make Hannah Montana the manga!

I grew facial hair while watching this epic promo video for Hokuto Musou.

Started reading Berserk. Pretty awesome.

[Harakiri]

Started reading Berserk. Pretty awesome.

 

I attempted to read it, but when it got to the main characters childhood it went on forever and I got bored.

 

Finished watching Trigun. It was pretty good, but I don't know why it places so high on a lot of people's favorite anime lists. The ending just sucked, the last episodes got kind of boring and not as exciting as the beginning.

Anime's I need to watch:

 

Cowboy Bebop

Tenchi Muyo

Big O

Ghost in the Shell

Trinity Blood

 

After those I'll find some others.

I liked the Trigun manga much more than the anime. ._o

 

Oh oh and finally finished Blood+. Goddamned awesome.

[arvys]

Best anime I watched for me was Death Note and D.N. Angel also Fairy Tail (only watched 7 eps tho :P )

[Jernlov]

Currently watching Manabi Straight. It has quite a bit more depth than your average slice-of-life with little girls; it's even beautiful. A+++ will definitely watch again.

Those are the "masses" animes, to common hence in my mind I think they are too stupid.

 

I've been watching old anime again now, I've started watching Yatterman.

Well give the D.N.Angel manga a chance. I love the manga but can't stand the anime.

Well I already watched G-force (Gatchaman) before the game, only ones that interested me were Yatterman. Then I figured out they remade it in 2008, time to look for the 2008 remakes!

Ippatsuman and Casshan don't really catch my eye that much.

I've also started Vocaloids, and I need to finish reading Claymore.

'Oh no, this anime is popular so I must simply be unique and hate it!'

I just don't like anime that has alot of those little chibi moments or those frustration crosses (#) or water marks, like Katekyo is a good example. The cover looks good, but after the first chapter I was like "Umm this is really stupid...."

[Tim]

I just finished watching Zero Louise, Still yet to get around to watching D.N Angel and get the rest of Burst Angel off my friend.

[Toki_Hakurei]

I'm finally done watching Hokuto no Ken. I've never shed so many manly tears in my life. It definitely kicks Gurren Lagann's [wagon] in terms of manliness.

 

And now for some epic sadness music fit for a man:

I've always been a big fan of ABe, but I respect him a lot, lot more now. I wish someone would speak out like this in the UK; not so much about the subject matter contained here, but about the general state of affairs and if we want to live with things being banned (and surveillance) because people "don't agree with" them. It is a typically Japanese view on freedom of speech; it has its flaws, but nonetheless I still respect him a great deal for saying something.

 

Not directly related to anime or manga, but still.

 

I finished Manabi Straight. It is truly a masterpiece. I didn't really expect it to turn out like it did (I was expecting something like Lucky Star or Hidamari Sketch) so it even surprised me. Beautiful characters, beautiful setting, beautiful story, beautiful music, beautiful message. I cried girl tears over it and I'm not ashamed.

Oh, I see where you're coming from.

 

I don't think Death Note falls in that category. It's utterly serious. (Granted I've only watch 2/3 of it.)

 

 

On another note:

I have yet to down load Touhou: Double Spoiler. I've been neglecting my toehoez.

[Jernlov]

Death Note takes itself far too seriously for my liking. I generally like more light-hearted anime, mostly because I can wind myself down and relax with it; but something with a lot of drama can be just as good fun to watch. Also, those sort of slice of life shows that are in a similar vein to Manabi Straight and Aria; stuff that really fills you with a sense of well-being.

 

Also, I still have this lingering association that Death Note is watched and read by fourteen year old girls that are "obsessed" with "Japan" - there was someone like this in my high school class. She would dress up in Gothic Lolita or visual kei fashion outside of school and call things "kawaii" or "sugoi." Pretty much a walking stereotype. I bet she has grown out of it now.

 

I've been rewatching Hidamari Sketch. I would say it is my favourite anime, perhaps. It's a close contest between Hidamari, Aria and Manabi Straight. No series can really make me feel as relaxed and happy as Hidamari; I had really forgotten how wonderful I had found it, and I still have the latest season to watch.

 

Awesome.

So what spring anime are people watching?

 

Definitely watching Angel Beats, Black Rock Shooter, K-On!! (s2) and Arakawa Under the Bridge. Going to check out Uragiri wa Boku no Namae o [cabbage]teiru and possibly Working!! if I want some Moe fix - though that'll probably be covered by K-On.
