Gargantia is mecha, so not my cup of tea. I might just take it up though, to finally see what this ruckus is about.

A friend of mine said it's like people stuck in tau battlesuits fighting nids.

.....for the first part of the first episode. Mecha takes a huge backseat to plot/drama/character development

Yeah. Gargantia really isn't a mecha series. It's just a series with occasional mecha moments.

I did say I haven't watched it.




Also this fits too well. WAY too well. Better than the real op song, even.

Hey guys - was thinking of picking up the original TV series of Fist of the North Star. However, I've since seen that there is a 'New Fist of the North Star' that has been released.

Anyone know if it is any good, and should I buy it instead of the original series boxset?

Anyoonnnneee?

If I don't hear any different I'm going with the original boxset (on the grounds of the crappy but somewhat charming animation), someone please tell me if I'm about to make a grievous error!

YotsubaSnake, I hate to say it, but the thing I think of every time I see your sig image is her cameo as one of DS harem in one of the remade volumes of the Bastard!!! manga...

Oh god, why the Puella Magi crap? I really thought it was boring.

What are the chances of the AoT opening song being perfectly synced with 2 other Anime openings

It's synced with way more then that.

There must be some sort of standard pacing for opening montages everybody uses.

Now I have a desire to see Pumpkin Scissors opener overlayed with the AoT lyrics. Of course that's like having to choose between strawberry and chocolate syrup for your ice cream.

Hah nice coincedence, I just watched all of fate zero in 2 days. Gonna rewatch the original now.

Well I just watched Gargantia and Holy Crap On A Cracker, between it and Titan this was definitely the week for WTF I Did Not See That Coming.

Actually find the twist at the end of Gargantia Ep 9 coming for awhile now. There's another series (or a few) that played out like that. Trying to remember their names but I'm drawing blanks.

Still. Stuff is getting intense. Wonder what Ledo's gonna do now.

I've been waiting for the twist, but that wasn't the twist I was expecting at all.

ahHHHHH! Don't tell me about spoilers. I almost read your posts. Actully, I don't know if they are spoilers, since I didn't read them, but heck. I just freaked myself out.

Three episodes into Mirai Nikki. It's definitely an interesting show, plus I finally found out where that hands on face yandere pose came from.

Finally got around to Evangelion 3.0.

It's... It's something XD

How many of those are there supposed to be in the end? I kind of want to wait for all of them to come out before watching any for some reason.

At least one more because it ended in an annoying TBC. No clue what they are gunning for though. (or whatever the feth was happening)

Rewatched Black☆Rock Shooter, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Stikers plus the two movies.
Pretty good series if you ask me, especially the movies that cover the first 2 seasons. And they look amazing.

How was Nanoha? I saw some ads for it in Akiba last week and thought it looked interesting

Oh it changed some in comparisson to the series, but for the better. The A's movie is just amazing (Funny thing is that the movie is 2:30 hours long, and the ending is roughly 30 minutes.). And now I cant wait for StrikerS.

Rebuild of Evangelion will consist of 4 films total.

I watch most everything on http://www.pinoyanime.tv/ because most of their streams work on my iPhone.

Awesome link there - thanks!

Alph, there is also Crunchyroll, they're kind of like a netflix sort of service (streaming only to my knowledge). You can get just an anime streaming service for 3 months for 20 bucks. I've definitely gotten my first three month's payment worth in Sword Art Online, Magi, Girls Und Panzer (gundam Wing when they had it), Attack on Titan, and now Gargantia though I'm starting that tonight. I can play it through my xbox, and I think it's available for the ps3 as well.

I love crunchyroll. I don't give them cash, since I'm fine with the 1 week delay, but the subtitles and video quality are great, even in 340p.

I decided to start paying for Crunchy Roll just in the name of support, one year subscription is about the price of a single new box set and I know I'm beating my money's worth out of it.

And I'll be taking up Gargantia... Apparently it's pretty decent and I got interested.

It's like you people are new to the internet...

Is the five part Roberta OVA the end of Black Lagoon? I'm just starting up on that series.

Yes. Roberta's Blood Trail is set after the main series.

Apparently, the manga's creator is finally going to continue writing the series, which may result in another season. It will take some time though.

Ooh, that's good, really loved that series.

Spoiler free 'gist of the thing', to see if it is something I might like, please?

Thanks!
