Zero cool? That's so 90s ;P

Isshiki gets a love letter, Isshiki messes up and takes the blame and Isshiki shaves his head. Lots of Isshiki in the episode.
 
Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V Episode 34

No, not what I wanted at all. Duelwise, second or third best one in the whole anime. The traps, effects, traps, and effects was good for making it fast paced. I just wish it wasnt between Kurosaki and Sora.
Sora having to lose so early on was not right, he was one of the better ones in the whole anime and his deck had so many good fusions. Why Raid Raptors have to be so overpowered.


Destruction of the field was incredible.

Shingeki no Bahamut 8

So when the angels and demons and stuff started to appear and take more the limelight in the series and people criticized for it, as it wasn't as good as the first two/three chapters, I didn't say anything. I wanted to give it some trust, and wait and see how things developed.
But yeah, honestly it isn't being that interesting, the series never got to be as awesome as promised by the first episodes. Though it's still good.

Here we learn an conspiracy in the devils side. We have an explanation of the black guy being the "father" of Amira, and shamefully, Amira's character loses some points
as she is simply a little girl in a big body. That's a different character that I imagined and as seen in the first episodes, which had her confusing moments but one supposed it was simply because she just appeared in that world.

Also, Lucifer is a bishonen, as it should /Yuki Karoi.
Beelzebub design is also pretty cool.

So I am entirely sure that I'll regret posting this in this thread. I need some recommendations.

I need more crappy and mediocre anime to watch. There are too many good series that I haven't seen and am I just now willing to dedicate the time to. On the other hand I watched Aldnoah Zero in the past two days and that was absolute great. The show was dumb, mindless, unoriginal, incredibly mediocre. I didn't have to think, I didn't even have to pay attention since it was so obvious and predictable. Hell I tune out the last 3 episodes almost entirely. I guess any recommendation for mediocre shit like that or mindless train wrecks would do.

Boys Be...
Pupa
Divergence Eve
Infinite Stratos (PURE ART)
Another (Final Destination: The Anime)

Which wan of these is SliceSabre

I see no doggirls

Is Pupa so bad that it's genuinely entertaining? There's some pretty high standards to be met for a show to quality as list-worthy.

No. Pupa is just an absolute fucking mess. Maybe if they got rid of the censorship it would be worthy for pure cringe-worthy gore combined with being a delayed compact train wreck.

Pupa was just a show whose episodes were too short to accomplish what it needed to do.

There's a lot more wrong with Pupa than episode length, thought that is a big factor.

High School DxD is the best dumb fanservice-harem show around.
 
Yona of the Dawn 9

Some nice world building in the first half followed by great character building moments for Yona as she trains with the bow. I'm sure some people will get annoyed with the FMA:B style comedy scenes during some of the somewhat serious scenes but like in that series they don't really bother me here. By far the best scene in this episode was when Hak told Yona to
shoot at him as if he was Soo-Won
had the right level of emotion and strong writing that made the scene feel like a great deal of pay off for all the hesitation Yona has had up to this point.
 
Parastye 8

Sinichi becomes more like a parastye, finds himself in a love triangle where is OTP continues to think he's a creep. Also a dead dog isn't a dog it's a dog shaped lump of meat has got to be one of the best lines in any anime ever. Another great episode of Parastye

Nadesico episodes 1-13

Wow, another anime where the girls want the lead character's cock. But it has some character death. It wish annoying guy from Nergal would die really horribly. Anyway, Ruri is love, and best girl. Marika>>>>>>>>>Yurika.

Nadesico episode 15

And now the big twist!
Yeah, I saw that coming. They were fighting other humans the whole time. And they like Gekigangar!
 
World Trigger 8

Man that first 5 minutes had some Naruto Shippuden caliber pointless flashbacks :/ thankfully the the second half of the episode was really enjoyable. God damn it Toei/Jump if you really wanted World Trigger to have become the next big thing you needed to give it's anime adaptation more then $25 dollars for a budget -.-

It is something I still need to watch! Gonna have to investigate what you call "cat episodes" one of these days.

I would post pics but I don't feel like getting banned. :lol

Dxd is somewhat competent and decent at story telling behind all the fanservice.

maken-ki is just a dumb harem show with entertaining females to look at.

Fair enough. I still need to finish S2 of DxD

This episode really highlighted just how twisted and fucked up both Lelouch and Suzaku have become in all this.

Lots of shit is about to go down. I guess what happens over these next eight episodes trumps even
KILL ALL THE JAPANESE!
, so...weeeeeeeeeee!

Book Girl ~Today's Snack: First Love~

A brief short to introduce myself to the premise - it does help that most of the books are in English, so I can read if I want, but I think I'll be able to obtain all that I need from the anime material. This is basically animated synesthesia. I wonder what jokes about Touko's "taste" in books would be like... or if they were the catalyst for the entire series in the first place. So when people talk about food porn, this is sort of what that's like, except with literature. Using metaphors in a story is a thing since time immemorial, but what if the metaphors are the story?

Book Girl ~Memoire~

So these aired over the course of three weeks before screenings of the movie, to provide more context. That's one way to get more people coming to see it again and again. Fantasy, tragedy and (romantic) comedy apiece. Nanase's and Touko's were cute, while Miu's... "difficult" is the right term here. When Japanese media deals with topics like this, it's not always with a gentle hand, and gets right to the emotion of the thing.

Book Girl Movie

Several bits of novel were skipped over, and it looks like the most dramatic story was chosen. Miu is a broken person, but I don't want to demonize her. Her heartbreak was more tragic (and central to the movie) than Nanase's, but Nanase's silent rejection at the end tugged at the hearstrings just as much. She endured herself to me pretty well in one OVA.

The whole meta idea of a book about books, and a book that was adapted into a movie becoming a book that was adapted into a movie, really does draw attention to what the strengths and unique features of otaku-based fiction are. So much of it has become metafiction. Touko's role in the movie wasn't quite as big as I thought it was going to be, but she had that planetarium moment near the end that more than made up for things. It's her story, so it all comes back to her in the end. Not the greatest anime movie I've seen. As a standalone film, it holds up, and the mildly supernatural element of Touko keeps it something I think is worth analyzing. It certainly made me want to read the books.


Only one more book-based anime to go in this quartet. It started with action, and so shall it be bookended with action, while still playing to the strengths of Kokoro Library and the literary allusions/name-dropping of Book Girl. Tomorrow, it begins.

Just wondering if people here still buy anime DVD or bluray or just stream it online now? Just notice from cleaning up my room of how many Anime dvd I have own right now and it's quite bit. Might consider to get rid of them soon as I am slowly transfer the show onto my external HDD. The picture below are show I have own as of now.

Note: Currently watching Noir right now. Kinda slow pace in the beginning but kinda interested in the Sodlat stuff right now.

Lelouch: Your Geass killed Nunally (as well as thousands of others)
Suzaku: You killed Nunally (as well as thousands of others)
Pls understand.

Edit: Oh, did I say
thousands
? I meant
millions. As in, all of Tokyo

Not the best but still intresting


Same here, now i only buy blu-ray and i avoid dvds.

It's a matter of image quality.

I am slowly going into blue ray but not all the anime I want is on blue ray and some of those are upscale. Might want to get a TV to play my show on.
