Anime general

i recommend boku no pico for those interested in a good story

 

The anime is great, beautiful art and awesome deep story. Would rewatch it but watching another anime atm. Recommend it to anyone who loves any type of anime.

 

There aren't any brakes on the tea party.


Log Horizon confirmed 4 pre good show. 10/10 would recommend.

 

I've heard good things about Log Horizon, and a lot about how it's supposed to be somewhat similar to Sword Art Online.

Maaan, SAO made me sad. The first half had some filler, I admit, but it was still pretty enjoyable, and they managed to keep it pretty serious up to the end of the first arc....
Then they hit ALO, and everything went to hell. Without the punishment for failure being immediate death, I think it just kind of lost its punch, and everything felt a little forced.

If I do watch Log Horizon, I hope it manages to have more meaningful conflict.

 

Reminds me of SAO, but with more actual MMO references. The first episode literally has them in the middle of a fight saying how shitty the controls are for fighting.

 

That's pretty funny.

I might watch it once I finish Attack on Titan... which is good, except for the excess of soldier angst.
"I'M SUCH A COWARD"
"EVERYONE'S DYING"
"POOR ME"

(Note: These are not actual quotes)

Maybe I'm just too used to characters being completely unafraid of death, but I'm about halfway through, and really feeling like it's becoming excessive.

 

It gets even better because those quotes are legit later on.

 

Saw the first episode of Log Horizon. Has promise so long as it focuses on adventure/narrative and not too much on this uguu kawaii and omg perv shit we see happening already.

I also saw the first episode of Yu Yu Hakusho. So 90s but it touches my heart. Also Jasoooooon.

What should I read after episode 25 of AoT? I needa to knowa.

 

AoT is way overhyped. Yeah, it's gritty. It's dark. It's "cool". But the characters are all rather boring (With a few notable exceptions, and Aren is not one of them), the show is confounded with astounding amounts of filler suddenly shoehorned in, and by god the flashbacks are all boring as fuck, aside from Misaka's life flashback. That was at least a 6/10 IMO.

I think most of my friends who recommended it are all just americanized animu lovers. They all flock together like birds of a feather.

 

I ended up watching and finishing Gurren Lagann this week.

Watched Gosick this weekend. Pretty okay, sweet little love story mixed in with a detective mystery(ies), catchy OP and EP, and good main plot progression. The show was still lacking something, like maybe humor? It wasn't funny, and while it tried to be mysterious, most of the mysteries were impossible to deduce from the viewers standpoint and ended up being solved by Victorica in the most absurd ways possible.

I'd rate it a 6 or 7/10.

 

Gosick was pretty enjoyable for me, though you're right... it was definitely lacking something.

Main reason I liked it was Victorique - as I've said before, I'm a huge sucker for cute female leads.

 

It seemed like it was trying to be scary or creepy or something, but it was riddled with tons of annoying anime tropes that really sucked the life out of it. For example, that annoying "HAAAAAh??" + dramatic panning upwards into the sky. I hate that shit, and the main guy does it constantly.

Just saw this. On my sub it was spelled Aren. Maybe I just watched a shitty fansubber, but that's how it was spelled for sure.

 

Yep defintially a fansubber :p because on the wikia it's Eren

 

Spoiler: I'm really enjoying this one
