Gui Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Saw Ponyo yesterday: a good movie but a very average Miyazaki: perfect if you still have a child soul
RogueTrooper Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Finished the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime which i thought was really good even though it was different to the manga. Caught up on the Dragonball Kai, 22 filler epiosdes into 8. No waiting around watching power-up episodes and Got my weekly dose of K-ON! Big Mugi fan. Going to start Yukihaze, someone in my Japanese class yesterday said it was the Brokeback Mountain of anime?
DrStrangelove Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I'm working my way through Space Battleship Yamato and the Mysterious cities of gold
Rbstr Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Finished the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime which i thought was really good even though it was different to the manga. You know that there's a remake of it airing right now. I haven't watched it (don't really care for the series myself) but it's supposedly much more like the manga. No its not. You're in it for her money. Psh...I'm in it for the eyebrows. Edited June 10, 2009 by Rbstr

Major Focker Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 watched the penultimate? episode (battle with the spiral king) of gurren lagann on tv. awesome, if not a bit rushed, or perhaps it was really just frantic. anyway, despite my aversion to super robots, i somehow got hooked on this show, and i'm still trying to figure that out. is there more after this? so hanging around the tv, nodame cantabile came up next, and i found myself laughing hysterically with my girlfriend am i getting soft?
shiroikaze Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 is there more after this? Oh yeah. so hanging around the tv, nodame cantabile came up next, and i found myself laughing hysterically with my girlfriend am i getting soft? Nah, you feel just about right.
shiroikaze Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Looks like K-On! is only twelve episodes long but but BUDOUKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! Anyway, I enjoyed Toaru Majutsu no Index. It's like Godhand almost, except you're in a fictional city of Japan and that Magic and Science are butting heads. I look forward to season 2. Totally recommend it. Edited June 13, 2009 by shiroikaze

Its not bad considering the show is only 10% about its titular character. I heard there will be a spinoff series concentrating on our favourite biri-biri Railgun. :3

Now that you remind me, I now have two things to look forward to~
Ghost Train Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 aaaw... one more eps of K-on left . I really enjoyed this week's eps though, especially Azunyan's attempt to "defuse the tension XD". And apparently, Mio is everyone's dream anime waifu: http://that.animeblogger.net/2009/06/13/ja...-and-husbandos/ ... rather strange list, Rukia Kuchiki #4 ? .
Rbstr Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I know it's cool to rag on Eden of the east recently.... But I quite like it. It's sort of atypical and in the last two episodes it really grew the beard with the conspiracy and everything.
RogueTrooper Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 Just finished Yukihaze ep3, cool plane but finding the series kinda boring. Also watched The Sky Crawler which was really quite good, sometime i coudl'nt tell of the background where real or drawn during the parts when the fighters where in the air.

It's sort of atypical and in the last two episodes it really grew the beard with the conspiracy and everything. Really? Who's ragging on it? I've heard nothing but praise on how awesome this show is. Ep 10 was pretty awesome as well. Sad that ep 11 (or was it 12) will be a major cliffhanger till the movie comes out.
Ghost Train Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 Don't say Indy....a K-ON AMV. Original Epic vid I actually like the original Tunak Tunak (and I'm not Indian ).
shiroikaze Posted June 16, 2009 Posted June 16, 2009 I actually like the original Tunak Tunak (and I'm not Indian ). That guy is like the king of moe Speaking K-On!, these are cool/awesome and creepy at the same time... http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/eng/im...ustom+Head.html
dreamweaver13 Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 2 episodes into Tora Dora. found it hilarious! and taiga is endearing. man, that parrot is hideous...
Gui Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Saw The Sky Crawlers the day before yesterday: it's a very good movie although a bit confusing in the beginning; you have to wait the second half to get where Oshii wants to go, but after that it all becomes pretty clear and appears as very characteristic of this director's previous works (especially GitS: one of the characters in Sky Crawlers makes this quite obvious...) I've not been very awed by the visuals though, not as much as I expected to be actually: even if the various landscapes and the animation of the planes are flawless, the characters looked rather bland to me (but, due to the theme of the movie, it may have been intentionnal...)
Greyryder Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Still watching Shin Mazinger. Episode eleven was epic. Still waiting on subs of 12.
Rbstr Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Last week I watched Lova Hina. I've never really been one for the unwanted harem type stuff but watching Keitaro bounce around after getting whacked never got old for some reason. Then I read the manga, which gives some nice closure. At the beginning of the 13th volume everyone complaining about how naru and keitaro were all over each other and how they keep failing at gettin' it on in the 14th volume got me rofling. Going to start Welcome to the NHK soon.

wolfx Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Yeah the manga ends nicely. :3 They lived happily ever after. NHK is awesome too.
shiroikaze Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 i've watched all of love hina, but i never gave the manga a try. so there's actual closure there? hmmm.... My god, Love Hina was the anime that got me back into anime Literally bought the entire set all at once. My dad wasn't very happy at the time... And yes, the manga has closure... after 14 loong volumes. I stopped reading NHK since nobody at the time was releasing consistently. I hear it gets pretty depressing later on... Anyway, watching Shikabane Hime on youtube. Neat series by Gainax.
dreamweaver13 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 NHK is awesome too. different from how the anime went?
Keith Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Just finished Gankutsuou, and starting Romeo x Juliet.
wolfx Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 different from how the anime went? I've only watched the anime and thought it was awesome. Differences with manga reported to be minimal as well. Oh this.....so moe i died. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqb6PMyAy84...player_embedded
Ghost Train Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I raise your nyan nyan moe with ... er... another form of nyan nyan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WUcRcuqQKM...lated&pos=5
anime52k8 Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Just finished Gankutsuou, and starting Romeo x Juliet. wait... the made an animu of this?
Ghost Train Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Yes, apparently there is : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romeo_x_Juliet ... though loosely (very loosely) based, been wanting to watch it myself. I am personally waiting for an animu version of Hamlet with lots of mecha, nekkomaidos, moe, and a tsundere Ophelia.
