The sweat thing was to give you a dose of silly before the show went full on grim dark, which it did before the end.

Then I may give it another chance. This makes me happy.

Haha ya the show definitely has it's flaws. I found that episode to be rather funny, and watching it with friends made it easier. But I do agree that something like that is something that generally turns me away from shows( I prefer serious), and I might even go as far as to day I thought it was dumb lol but like Aduro said, the show does bounce around between very serious and very silly. It's a series that is episodic, so of course some episodes will be amazing and some will be sweaty x-men :p I recommend hamatora bc I think the over arching plot is interesting an has/ still has the potential to lead to greatness. Right now it's a bit of a let down, but still a good let down. Like space dandy

I need to finish Tokyo Ravens. I really like it... I just have issues getting motivated to get my arse over to funimation's website. I need to finish D Frag too...

I have that same problem, and I have no idea why.

worth it for D-Frag though. Truly that anime is a reflection of the inner workings of video game designers... when they're on acid.

I have now watched this week's BB ...

feth that world's humanity. feth it to hell. Just like in the Game of Thrones I want to read the White Walkers crossing the Wall and annihilate Westeros, I now want to see Gastrea crossing that barrier.

I've kinda felt like that from the start. Their whole society's pretty fethed up. Relying on the cursed children for protection but otherwise outcasting them, abusing them, killing them...

Makes you wonder who the real monsters are don't it?

That is kinda the underlying question/point the whole show is based on, if anything past lol grimdark loli action!

Did we discuss this yet?



Reaction to the dub has been somewhat muted, with people saying that Senketsu should be older sounding, and that Satsuki isn't sufficiently authoritative. Oh, and Mako mispronounces her own surname! For my part, I'll wait until the voices are fully processed and mixed into the soundtrack before judging. However, the initial release in multiple small volumes will add up to silly prices in the first instance, so that may not be for a while. As of this preview thought the dub's gonna be a flop for me I think. On a scale of Love Hina to Hellsing Ultimate in terms of dub voice acting I think we're looking at middle ground work barring something incredible happening in post. It's just not going to top the original cast for me.

In other news, holy feth.

Holy feth.





*squees internally* judge me all you want fethers I have no shame in admitting I really like Sailor Moon. (Speaking of terrible dubs...)

*wanders off humming the original theme*

Sailor Moon was probably the first anime I ever saw... I'm quite found of it and although it was portuguese dubbed, including the OP and Ending, I love the song.




I too am not shamed to say I eagerly await the remake Plus, I'll get to see Sailor Mars kicking ass again. Oh Sailor Mars, you so sexy <3

Sailor Mars is almost certainly where my thing for shrine maidens comes from.




Gotta love the original, though I like the Portuguese Op!

New OP is by the incredible Momoiro Clover Z, who as you'll recall is the idol group who have recorded a track with the guitarist from Megadeth and are in fact an SM inspired Sentai/Magical Girl team on stage complete with transforming belts.

How the hell can you people watch that?

It was definitely the first anime I ever saw, though I dunno if I'd like it nowadays. That and robotech. But I remember sailor moon being on tv in the morning before school well back in the gradeschool days... I think, robotech was at least a couple of years later.

Now robotech... I'll totally still watch that.

My first anime was Tekkaman Blade. Because I'm hardcore like that.

My first anime was Eureka seven, which was definitely not crap, and definitely a really good example of a good first show to watch. My god my young mind was not ready for some of the more mind screwy bits.

My first Anime was My Neighbor Totoro.
Because I was a babby.

First Anime period? Spirited away. My Dad got it for us to watch from Netflix.

First Anime series? I watched the first 30 eps or so of Fullmetal Alchemist. (The original) before swapping over to Naruto.

Regarding Dubs, I didn't even think they'd dub Anime into Portuguese. I always thought it was Japanese, English, Spanish, or French or you'd have to find understandable subbed versions

So where's a good place to Watch Clannad? Crunchy doesnt have it and everywhere else seems to re-stream it via Hulu. I just hate Hulu's ad's I dont mind ads in general, Crunchy does a good job theres not a ton. Hulu seems to just throw crap tons of them at me.

As for the discussion at hand. My very first Anime was Probably Inuyasha back when I was a kid. To this day I still dont think I've ever watched the whole thing front to back...

^Oooh me either, but I did enjoy watching the bits and pieces of it that I did.

Tentatively starting to watch the Naruto offered on Amazon. I'm not even sure if the 8 seasons they have of it is the whole thing, but it's enough to keep me in something to watch. Plus Prime is where Dora lives and that has to be on the TV 50% of the time or better around here or someone gets to have a bad day. (me, y'know due to the crying and fits )

I remember Sailor Moon as that before-school thing. Maybe even old reruns of Speed Racer. I think the first one I watched that I actually cared about was Voltron, though- the original Lion one.

First one I saw that I realized wasn't American Made was Princess Mononoke, though.

First anime's I got really into was Dragonball Z, YuYu Hakusho and Cowboy Bebop. After that it was everything I could find at the video store and game stores. Anime was sooo expensive a long time ago.

Animecrave has both Dubbed and Subbed available.

You only have to watch 2 ads at the beginning of each thing you watch(plus whatever runs along the edge of the screen) so its pretty ad light.

Thanks very much! I'll keep them in mind for this sort of thing. Seems to happen every now and then.

If you become a supporter they turn off the ads and give you better streaming times too.

Will definitely have to think about that if I continue to need their services! At this point with how much I'm getting back into it I'm thinking of setting some money aside for crunchy. I certainty use it enough lately

Ladies and gentleman, once again it's time to start picking what the heck you are gonna waste time with



Rail Wars! got my attention. It sounds so crazy it has to be good

Now, give me a second as a give thanks to the God-Emperor because those OVAs... OH MAN: Besides Girls und Panzer that we knew about, fething Noragami, Mangaka-san and

NON NON BIYORI! YEEEEEEEES!!

Tokyo Ghoul sounds like something up my alley

Concerto Nobunaga also sounds interesting, and a new Black Butler might be good. Hopefully it will be better than the second season.

AoT and Girls und Panzer OVA!

Girls und Panzer OVA? Im down with that! A few of the other shows also sounded interesting. Looks like a decent enough season on its way.

Time for the Italian girls to get there tanks pounded!

I had a look at the list a few days ago over on Anichart and seeing that the first series next season comes out 2/6/14 I quickly put choosing anything off so I could do some study.

I just hope a good comedy show starts airing on Mondays. Or slice of life.

I had Non Non Biyori that honestly cleansed my soul, this season I had Mangaka-san (the voice actors are amazing, and the one doing Aito, feth, I hope the guy gets a raise) that makes me laugh way too much than it should : a moral boost to start the week would be so welcome

Looking forward to see how they add the extra stuff from Persona 4 Golden into the anime adaptation. Hope they keep the part from the previous Persona 4 Animation though when Nanako tells everyone that Yu is a manwhore though

And there is me, waiting patiently for Arise....
