I'm gonna chalk that one up to "Drunk Posting"

I honestly can't recommend "Try Fighters" enough . This "expensive add campaign" is more entertaining than other Gundam shows, I have now finished watching the episodes released after the break and damn, the hype and over-the-top action just goes to ridiculous levels.

You KNOW a Gundam is awesome when it's burning ... IN SPACE. Or explodes an entire asteroid with his burning fist.

Gods, Transformers was nothing more than an expensive add campaign too and is one of my favorite shows of all time: Not many work, but when they do, DAMN.

Blasphemer... I haven't even bothered watching more then 2 episodes of try... the second I saw the main mech would be something from G gundam I was done.

Just finished Hellsing. Not a bad series, very Blade-esque.

I have to say Madoka Magica has the best music ever, I wach there series 3 years ago, and I still listen to its music.

Is 'World Trigger' any good? I just notice this really cool looking picture and i get interested.

Now that you mention it, I watched the first episode of that and liked it but not seen anything else. I must have missed catching the rest of that one or will have to see what happened there.

I'm enjoying all the junk food anime this season, and I really shouldn't be..

I have been slowly getting up to date thanks to my daily work route (so this is my opinion missing 4 eps before being up-to-date): It's a shounen, but a very different shounen from the usual. It has decent character development in a short time, the main characters are interesting and quite funny, one of that main guys is completely OP and there's a good reason for it, and the battles are fast and furious (and not many of them tbh, hence a lot of time for char development). This is a bonus for some people too: There's no fan-service. None whatsoever so far.

Stuff you may dislike: This falls under the trope of kids with powers, so most "fighters" are between 13-18. Except one character, it just makes no sense but hell, that's anime for you.
Also, the art style. This anime is from "Toei Animation" , AKA, "The guys that are doing One Piece for over 15 years" - It feels like their entire team is addicted to One Piece's art style. When I started watching it, the characters looked so simplified so... "One Piece-d" I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy the show, but thankfully the anime is so entertaining I just don't care about it anymore.
Ah yes, and no blood or gore. This is family-fun oriented although there are some casualties.

Now, about KanColle. Episode 3 was Madoka Magica all over again. The death flags were popping up like crazy, but c'mon!!! I THOUGHT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE GIRLS UND PANZER, GODS DAMN IT!

Finished Amagi today, Wow that sure was... Brilliant ( ) Jokes aside that was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.

Finished the main Higurashi series. It's pretty dire; the only way it could be solved happily is through the mother of Deus Ex Machinas, which I guess is the point.

Also, Shion with an AK <3

Is Ultimate different than regular Hellsing?

Its reanimated and consolidated IIRC but the story should be exactly the same (???)

Nope, completely different stories.
Ultimate is closer to the manga, has less padding, more gore and NAAAAAZIS

Lol what?!

Wtf happened to the show?! I only saw the first season and they basically conquered rena's homicidal mania and love of homemade bombs and big machetes with the power of friendship (lol what?). I wish i was joking. Not to mention people thought the big bad was aliens that spread a virus to people. I'm just going to call it 'Aliens Herpes/AIDS' because that's infinitely funnier. It makes sense because they think they have worms and they can't stop scratching every time they get an itch (which is frequent).

@TheDraconicLord: Oh and remember what i said earlier on 'steam'. Now i'm going to call you 'satsuki's whipping boy'. Somehow i think you'd enjoy that ;P.

There's a second season where everything is revealed. You find out the nature of the curse, and why everyone keeps dying after Rika gets sacrificed.
Oh, and the Club somehow manages to get the best of a paramilitary intelligence unit. Because...anime.

I still feel like satako always gets the sh*t beaten out of her regardless of the situation. It's usually her like the sacrificial jesus christ thing or as i like to call it 'My First Little Martyrdom Playset' which was made by some rip-off company in thailand which is also the makers of 'Snake in a Log'. Anyway her in the cross torture chamber designed for children with a stepping stool and all, the abusive uncle, the time she picked on rika in season 3 and gets beaten up, shion beating her up in the arc where shion goes crazy and getting her *ss kicked by her own delusions. I'm sure the list goes on and most of this was just in season one. I mostly only watched season one. Also am i the only one creeped out by the pedo doctor that wants to marry her and adopt her for probably that reason. He's so open about it too. It's just so weird how the people in that show are so cool with it that they don't even mind.

Also the nazis in 'Hellsing Ultimate' kind of turned me off to the show a bit. Same things goes with the Far East foreigners when i started seeing 'Full Alchemist Brotherhood'. I dunno maybe i should give both shows another chance.

Speaking of 'Hellsing Ultimate' i'm kind of surprised how the original hellsing had the priest try to make Seras a vampire instead of a ghoul, in ultimate he tries to rape and kill her or turn her into a ghoul while groping her big boobs and i'm wondering if in the hentai or similar if he actually did freaking rape her. Sheesh things must've gotten toned down a ton. Both ways work for me but it seems a lot more uncomfortable in Ultimate.

Yeah, that's pretty weird 0_o

My reaction when something perverted like that happens is generally this :



There is an episode where one of the teachers basically threaten him to stop doing it, though.

Keiichi does the same thing too, so I think it's making fun of harem anime. The animation style is similar to that cutesy-slice of life stuff, after all.

Satako does get it rough, but it is connected to the "Curse"
She gets it rough early season 2 as well.

You gaks have been playing the vidya games on steam without me? Now I feel sad.

No, just the anime.
What, you didn't know there was a second season of Higurashi?

I talked about Hellsing in the last post if you want to reply to that.

Perhaps a little it's making fun of harem animes. Honestly i think keiichi is such a lucky guy at his age. Basically he lives in a village where he's the only boy of rena's and mion's age. That said it's a little weird that even though they're stuck to the village they keep going into the city and the village seems to include a lot more people than just the few of them. Perhaps the village is just much bigger than i thought. It seems very backwater to me though.

Mion's more my style though. Pretty girl with erm as 'dark souls' might put it a 'nice chest ahead' and possibly a gamer (like the card game type) and tomboy.

I'm pretty sure kalashnikov marine was talking about what i directed at 'TheDraconicLord'.

I've been playing video games with Cthuluspy on steam a little (xcom: enemy unknown) as well as talked to him (mostly what i do these days with him) and i talk with 'TheDraconicLord' on steam.

I didn't even finish Hellsing Ultimate.
Is the complete english dub out?
Hellsing without Freeman just isn't the same.

Hehe lol you should see the english dub for 'higurashi'. It's bad. It's really, really bad. At least what i've heard from some clips on youtube it's terrible.

I'm quite fond of the Higurashi dub, actually. I find it quite endearing, and Rena in Oyashiro-mode is pretty chilling.

At the very least the evil laughter in the english dub is much more camp whereas in the japanese dub it's a lot more horrifying.

So, there is under 24 hours until I have to return for another grueling yar of highschool and I plan on spending all of today sitting on my arse and then his the gym tonight, so what should I waste my time on? how about something set in a modern day type setting. any suggestion for anything that'll waste a day?
