Are you certain that's a Men's prison?

Also: Uuuhhhh....

It looks like there are both sexes.

Finished watching Chaos:Head. (Well, S1, E1-12, not sure if there is more outside of Netflix). Interesting, in a mind-screw kinda fashion. Didn’t really bring enough to the table to counteract the amount of WTF? it generated. Would not recommend.

Started watching Gunbuster. It's so 80's! But also really, really good, so far. I'm impressed.

I was going to watch Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040, but apparently only the first 4 episodes are available on YouTube. Might look around to see if Funimation has the rest on its main site.

And no, the Netflix one isn't the same. I'm watching the one where they don't have wrists.

Gunbuster, you're like, 40 years old! Why do you have so many feeeeeels!?

So, was using the crunchyroll random thingy, and ended up watching the first episode of Cuticle Detective Inaba. I have no idea what is going, but I don't care.

Asian men are kind of feminine (or at least have trouble growing facial hair) so sometimes it can be hard to tell.

I wish they made more seasons of rosario + vampire....
But nope :(

Chaos;Head is by far the worst of the 3 science adventure VN adaptions so far. Steins;Gate is by far the best of the 3 and sits somewhere in the top 10 anime I know. Robotics;Notes is pretty boring at first but gets better. Still better than Chaos;Head though.

Fairy tail is fun. also, a friend of mine suggested...umm, I think it was "elfen lied" what's anyones opinion on that?
in other news (shut up I'm telling everyone) I've lost six kilograms of weight, yay me.
tho unfortunately my going to the gym most nights is eating up my anime time, oh well I guess everything in moderation as they say.

I know a lot of people use their mobile devices and watch anime while they're working out. Gives something to do with your brain while your body is working.


And elfen lied is... potentially problematic, from what I've heard. I don't recall specifics, but I think it's kinda NSFW for some reason.

I think it has something to do with a naked girl slaughtering a few dozen people on episode 1.

The plot is divine, everyone I know that watched it loved it to hell and back, expect MASSIVE gore. Ridiculous quantities of blood and ripped members. It's like an anime of the 80s, only with better animation. And boobies. I know, THE HORROR, how dare they show boobs!

AND NOW WE ARE FETHING TALKING!
http://www.crunchyroll.com/store/p/140059/Kantai-Collection-KanColle-Battleship-Re-Class-18th-Scale



Create an abyssal Standard Carrier Wo-Class figurine and WOOOO! baby, I shall have to add a KanColle Abyssals collection to my Touhou Collection!

Ok, I might be heretical, but...isn't the plot to Kancolle basically the same as Nobunagun?

Wait, so the Kantai girls are genetically predisposed to become ships? Is this the sequel to Arpeggio, after the admiralty got jiggy with the ships?

It's a Men's only Maximum security prison. For special performances if the prisoners are literally all on good condition they'll bring ladies over from the neighboring women's prison, like when they did Gangnam Style




Their version of thriller is legit.

Hmmm. Not a bad call, though I'd honestly say Strike Witches is the better comparison, and as someone who liked Nobunagun, I think KanColle's executing better. But the former's more srs and the latter's a moeblob so take that as you will.

Today i'm interested in 'Arslan Senki' or more likely 'The Heroic Legend of Arslan' (which seems to be the older version.

I'm rather curious in both versions though. It sounds a whole lot like 'record of lodoss war' with a sort of d&d style to it and i love that and that show.

Anyway more 'parasyte' will be watched soon. This show is fantastic. It's totally what i enjoy. If only more episodes would come out sooner but sadly i'm stuck to one new episode per week. I'm still surprised it took so long for this anime to get made considering how old the manga is (it's from 1990). Well it's being made now is all that matters i guess.

Okay, Star Winning Gundam is my hero <3

I (reluctantly) caught up with gundam build try. I can't believe it's so much worse then the first reason. It's straight up BELIEVING IS POWER anime now. I caught up in the faint hope there would at least be some cool new-ish mechs in there. But alas, it's G Gundam (the worst gundam series of all time) combined with SD Gundam and... I'm done.

On the bright side, Death Parade is amazing,

after watching gundam build, i'm sad that try went the I win because i really really believe it will happen route

So, I watched the first episode of elfen lied. I demand that all of you do the same.
So far, I have three things to say.
numero ouno: That was the most brutal thing I have ever seen in anime, I want people who say anime is for kids to watch it.
numero dou: that was some mother-fething intense intro.
numero dreh: Amnesia=adorable.

That sounds about right.

In other news, cuticle detective iniba is adorable. It's so silly the majority of the time, whenever it tried to be serious it's hilarious.

I'm amazed there are people who haven't watched Elfien Lied yet.

I haven't seen Elfen Lied.
Because I am a big baby-man.

Oddly enough, I have seen Higurashi no naku koro ni, which follows the same sort of idea; cutesy moe kids getting brutally murdered, accompanied by well written character arcs.

They really aren't similar, at all.

How so? Are the characters in Elfen Lied unlikable?

Setting, story type, method of killings etc. etc. They have nothing in common except for girls and gore.

And lets be honest here, there are a lot of anime that have those two things in common.

Never saw Elfen Lied either. Not my cup of tea, I hated the thing after episode one and what happened to a poor character.

I read the manga, though. Feth, I gave up around half of it, when a big flashback happened. That gak was far too fethed up and sad, that was the point I said "Ok, this is where I draw my line."

And exactly like you, I saw Higurashi and loved it.

Wait, really? I am the opposite, I never finished Higurashi due to a combo of boredom and annoyance.

Also, Elfen Lied clearly wins for best intro.
