What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
DuelGundam2099 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Perhaps I should see this Attack on Titan everyone talks about so much. Anyway, up to episode 7 in Inukami! and oh boy do I have titanic complaints: -Youko is a colossal dick. Seriously, I have seen very mean spirited anime characters before, but this is just awful (and not just because she took Tomohane's underpants although that was cruel and.... kind of weird, why would dog gods give a darn about their clothing enough to make them cry over it- okay I am looking into that too deeply). I would not be surprised if she dethrones Shanlara from Goldran as my least favorite anime character ever and to be worse than THAT is saying a lot. -Secret agent guy (I forget his name) only showed up twice in seven episodes so he is sadly a background character. What a shame, he has potential. -No monster fights! Okay, they fight ONE ACIDIC BLOB and that is it, the rest are just ghosts that are possession happy and a weasel that sticks stuff together with it's eyes.... Magic for anyone wondering. They promised this in the first episode! It is This Ugly Yet Beautiful World all over again, but not as obnoxious. -Not that funny, self explanatory. -The loli character, Tomohane, mostly because I dislike lolis period. The sad part is that they actually tried to make her decent in episode 6, but next episode she turns into a school-girl-wannabe gawking and aroused by Keita and his man-meat (I should be saying elephant but eh). *shrivels* Oh yeah, she'll make the least favorite list, just not as far up as Youko. I kind of expected something like this since this was done by the same people that did Triangle Heart and Nanoha; kind of weird that their furry fan service does not bug me this time although it is limited to just tails this time so eh. I should not be enjoying this, but it is nowhere near offensively bad as some other anime I have seen. Just 19 more eps and a movie to go (so not looking forward, but as an exile of MAHQ I have nothing else to do). -
But Peter, this does not take place in a time and place that has white people, therefore we must call it racist/oriental/shoehorning/(insert color here)face and such!

The Syfy Channel Original Movies Thread!

I finally managed to watch Sharknado.... And I was disappointed, it was quite meh. It was basically a zombie movie with sharks that travel through tidal waves with the actual tornadoes being irrelevant until the last fifth. At least Ghost Shark looks promising since the title monster can attack you on slip-n-slides and drag you down into buckets. -

Just got back from seeing it, awesome as hell, no complaints from me. -
Judging by the trailer it looks fun-ish, but at the same time it looks like it has too much sex junk. Kind of on the fence.

Am I the only person here that actually judges movies after actually watching them in full and not just a trailer? I was referring to their animated stuff, stuff like The Hunchback of Notre Dame come to mind since it was based on a serious book. I know Pinocchio and The Jungle Book were also based on dark stories that got heavily modified. Yet, somehow, nobody seems to mind their changes. If done correctly I would totally watch this.

Disney movies take liberties when they make movies, why have a double standard? You actually care about who is in it?

So is mine, there was no need for insulting me. And this is a bad thing because.... So by this logic Disney movies are bad because they take fantasy liberties with their movies.... So why do movies such as theirs get a free pass and this does not?

Yeah, the ova ended badly, but at least that is what Great Dangaioh was for.

Perhaps I should take on School Days and see if it is that bad or not. -

I just started watching Inukami! starting with the first episode. Because this is ecchi there is a high chance I'll dislike it.... But so far it isn't TOO bad. I mean Yoko is annoying as hell, but so far that is the only bad part to and it looks like there will be fights with supernatural creatures, plus that agent guy seems like a neat character. I also really don't want to admit it, but the ending theme is somewhat catchy. Maybe it won't suck bat testicles, but only time will tell, I mean it did have a bear juggling cars. And why the hell does the main character have a dog collar? -

I just finished Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer. I thought it was pretty dang cool even if it had too much sex junk and the last episode was not very interesting. I can also imagine how this lead Obari to designing Dangaizer 3 since the titular character has similar armor (and it is called Soul Gear no less, which carried over to DGZ3 apparently). Why can't the Street Fighter movies be this good? -
^Plus a rough draft early on was to have said Junior as the titular Goji. That is also why FW had the 100 meter height scale instead of the regular 50 meter one.

I just finished Cybuster. When talking about this series the basic consensus was pretty much MAHQ (man how I miss that place) ranked it as the worst average of any series reviewed, even more than SEED Destiny or Age. I could not help but wonder WHY so many consider it to be so bad.... And you know what? It is not. AT ALL. On the plus side: Cool mech redesigns, it has a good first and last episode, the last quarter was well done, the music was not bad (not good either, but still), none of the characters were bad, decent villains, and NO FAN SERVICE. I guess Chris was wrong, there is anime with no fan service after all! On the minus side: The characters are boring, the plot is paced too slowly for the first three quarters, they threw in a "oh Masaki was Mizuki's lost brother" twist without any foreshadowing or going anywhere with it (other than making the last episode his back story.... which they should have saved for earlier), the action was rather poor half the time, and the physics are mixed. Black holes cannot decide whether or not they kill people or not, sometimes they do and sometimes they do not. I can buy the Cyflash undoing everything and what clearly looked like vaporizing the villains was just transporting them back to Earth, but for frick sake there was no consistency! Oh yeah and the final battle was very disappointing. With all that said.... It is still better than Divine Wars. In fact, it is better than a ton of other subpar mecha anime. This series might have been much better if not for the lackluster budget, which unfortunately shows, although you have to give it some points for trying. Here is where I rank it among all the anime I've watched so far: -

Why yes, Mr. Tines, I do have one! http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36393&page=17 And gosh darn it Schwarz I did not hate the kaiju, I simply thought they were Lovecraftian knockoffs and yes I am aware of the effort used on the behind the scenes complete with staff votes and stuff.
