The Anime Thread

What has made me watch so much recently? In general, I believe I was inspired by watching Gurren Lagann, as well as the abundance of free shows on the internet, to immerse myself in the medium.

Code Geass was the first anime I watched after Gurren Lagann. I forgot what pulled me in. Probably just it's popularity. I saw a few demotivational posters poking fun at it and decided to see what all the fuss was about.

Eureka Seven was the result of boredom and searching for more mecha anime to watch.

Haruhi Suzumiya is, well, Haruhi Suzumiya, and I figured, if I'm gonna be an anime fan, I should get to know this one.

Soul Eater was a title that popped up frequently on TVTropes, and the characters sounded interesting.

Deadman Wonderland had an amusing premise: boy framed for classroom massacre, sent to amusement park prison, suddenly has blood powers. And it now just occurs to me that I have a rather unorthodox definition of "amuising".

Next up, Puella Magi Madoka Magica. First found out its existence from an AMV. Read up on it, heard it was a Magical Girl story except it was a deconstruction, and was hooked.

Finished Casshern Sins this July...huh.
24 episodes of this super robot guy who apparently killed this god-like woman and indirectly brought about a disease that targets robots and humans alike, but he doesn't remember a thing. And now everyone wants to eat him. To be immortal. Yeah.
First half is virtually nothing but Casshern meeting one-shot characters, standing around and doing nothing until someone tries to kill him. The second half has much more of an arc to it.

Since the previous forum shut down, I've watched Asura Cryin'. 26 episodes, and the first one alone features a ghost, giant robots, demons, and gun-toting student councils. I really liked it.

And I've also seen a few episodes of Durarara!!. It's...weird. There's lots of different, seperate story arcs, and no one absolute main character from what I can tell.

I can't decide what anime I like more, Cardcaptor Sakura or Gurren Lagann. I think lately my taste has changed to the point that I find GL kind of.. obnoxious. CCS is extremely light hearted and, of course, nostalgic.

My Watchlist:

Highschool of the Dead
Azumanga Daioh
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Chronological order of episodes: 2, 3, 5, 10, 13, 14, 4, 7, 6, 8, 1, 12, 11, 9.)

man we need an anime sub category

an anime sub cat? Separate from the television?

This will probably be fine. I mean outside of random posts saying "this anime is good", "we should all watch this anime", there really isn't much to discuss.

there is so much! the melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is good! we should all watch this anime

This. I think we can contain all of the discussion in one thread.

The Melancholy is AWESOME!! I watched a random episode which was literally a home made movie they all made.

Sounds like Super 8. Now THAT'S a good movie.

im on ep 2 of melancholy. i really really like it, i also watched an ep of asumanga daioh this morn, and it was awesome too

Cowboy bebop that's all i gotta say its easily the best anime iv seen minus the first two OVA's of Mad-bull 34 of coarse. Why else do you think I have the ever lovable John Suleepy of the 34th precinct as my avatar.

Mad Bull 34: I would give it a solid 8.4 out of 10

mad bull 34. sounds mad

I'm also finished season 1 of of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. It's adventurous, magical, mystical, whimsical.

rate it on the media reating thread

YEA! Well, Im going to finish Season 2 first

hey look up the anime Bokurano duncan!

Well this is unexpected.

I looked up Bokurano on Google Images. The pictures really make it look uninteresting, but, they are just pictures. Apparently, it's a very un-heard of anime but not bad.

Bokurano...why does that name sound familiar?
*Looks on TVTropes.*
Ah, that. I never looked much into it, but the premise in interesting enough. It is, basically, kids saving the world with Humongous Mecha. Apparently it is really depressing.

Yea, I read it is constantly dealing with death. I don't really have an interest in watching it.

Ninja Scroll is great, Kite is decent mainly good action though but it is pretty dumb. Avoid Doomegaopolis.(probably spelt that last one wrong).

Still need to watch some Miyazaki movies, Akira, and Gosht in the shell.

Digimon is a pretty solid show if you can get past the mediocre voice acting (it's really only the champion forms that have meh voice acting)

I like digimon. I also think you would probably like bokurano duncan. Tyler you should watch it
