wait what, your asking about anime that has furry fan adaptations?

What?

....Area 88 is a brutal as hell OVA from back in the day about Mercenary Fighter Pilots. It is awesome and you should go watch it.

What the hell are you on about Darkcloud?

Well, my Thursday's are gonna be a lot more boring for a while. Guess I'll finish Desert Punk.

Yuushibu was beautiful. After a massive disappointment that was the whole end part of Galilei Donna AND Infinite Stratos 2, Yuushibu ended in a proper and cool manner!

Thoughts for this week:

Strike the Blood - Man I hope Koujo's powers to be a 10th level bad ass AND completely run over by the women surrounding him never ends. It would get old handled improperly, but it hasn't yet and I'm certainly still enjoying the ride!

Yusibu - Holy feth! An incredible finale, even if it was a bit of a tease.

[spoiler]Seriously. All that fething build up and not even a kiss? Complete bastards.

Galileo wrapped up? Maybe I'll go ahead and watch the two remaining episodes then just to see it thru

I saw this Naruto comic some years ago I think. I bet whoever wrote it feels like a genius now. Or was it that obvious and only I didn't see it coming?

I've been watching Danganronpa.... pre-ordered the February Vita release of the game already...

I've been watching Ah! My Goddess. It's been a while, but who cares? It's a romance anime without annoying harems and loli and such...and one that doesn't devolve into fan service.

Been wondering where the latest episodes of Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta were at since I didn't see a new one last week and no new one this week either. Looked around and found out they Did have new episodes come out last and this week, but the people who were doing the subs decided to stop doing them, and there are only three episodes left!

I'm seriously considering getting a vita just so I can play it and Super Dangan Ronpa 2.

Just finished Attack on Titan(only S1 out currently), amazing
High School DXD, get past the boobs its an great anime
b gata h kei, great anime from the girls point of view,
watched My bride is a mermaid, I didnt care for it too much
Pokemon Origins, Nostalgia heavy, loved it
these are what I recently watched, need a new anime

So a thought I had during the commute today about Attack on Titan, some individuals have drawn lines to lay the anime out as an attack on rampant consumerism and capitalism. I think that's a stretch. I think it might be an assault on Government and Government Power though. The State in most modern nations is a bland, massive entity that destroys and consumes all it comes into contact with no thought to those it affects, merely it's own power and continued existance. As the power of the government grows, our freedoms shrink in the name of "security", much like the humans in AoT are forced to retreat further into their walls.

Government is not an unstoppable force, though it can feel like it to those of us beneath it's trod, but humans, single individual humans are ever the titan killers.

So, yeah, Non Non Biyori finished yesterday...

Suddenly my Mondays got a whole lot crappier ... I hope there's another heartwarming and relaxing anime like NNB this Fall season. It really was a fantastic anime.

Ever seen Azumanga Daioh? Looked briefly into the one you mentioned. I think Azumanga is kind of like that one and reviews have been mostly positive. It has the whole heartwarming calm-ish feeling you're looking for. Try looking into it, you might like it!

I got Attack on Titan: Outside for Christmas. There's a lot of great stuff in it, but sadly it's straight from Japan which means I can't do much more than look at the pictures.

Here are some of the gems I found:

With Valvrave and Little Busters refrain ending this week, I will only have Log Horizon and Gundam Build Fighters left going (until Kill la Kill comes back). Winter season doesn't look too shabby; so I am sure my anime schedule will fill up some more. I am just probably going to try the new season anime first before committing (unless someone can convince me that I have to watch 1 before then).

Little Busters? What is that, some sort of GunBusters Babies anime?

Anyone else watched Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler?)
Apart from the glaring anachronisms and hilarious stereotyping, It's actually quite fun, reminds me of Hellsing, but with 90% less blood and gore, no vampire-Nazis and zeppelins... but much more tea and cake!

Yes. It's a pretty fun show. I like how Sebastian pile drove that demon dog.
The second season was absolute nonsense though. I also have an odd feeling that the writer saw Code Geass. It has something to do with the main character being motivated by hate and having a contract with a supernatural entity that affects his eye, me thinks.

I prefer Hellsing, because that's how vampire fiction should be: lots of blood, gore, and ultra-violence. Unlike this gak.

I have heard wonders about that one but never saw it. I'll put it in my "to watch" list

That's really not selling it.

Watched Gundam: AGE. It was...average and uninspired.
Finally got around to watching Victory Gundam. Very depressing.

Currently watching Venus Vs. Virus. Its entertaining in a shallow, actiony, girls with guns kinda way.

Attack on Titan is next in my list.

It's still pretty gory and messed up. You got doll people, a psychotic angel who fused the queen of england with her dead husband, and a serial killer who

No kidding; it's like Destiny all over again.

Well, they do call him 'Kill 'em All' Tomino for a reason. If you want to see him work when he's not depressed, watch either Turn A Gundam or the Zeta Gundam A New Translation movies.

I might give that Non Non Byori anime a go sometime. Already lost interest in Bleach after watching the first part of the bount arc.

I'd skip the Bount arc, If I were you - it had the same battles over and over, but it gets better again in the next arc, IIRC

Yeah, I heard. I don't know. Maybe I'll get back to Bleach later.
Erm... you wouldn't happen to know what episode the arc after the bount one starts do you?

The Arrancar arc begins at ep110, although it takes a few episodes to pick up speed - I often skipped bits of the episodes from the Bount arc onwards TBH, it saves listening to Orihime whining or Ichigo giving his "I can't lose!" speech again - I basically just watched the fight scenes!

Thanks man!
