I just follow that tutorial thread that someone made on here http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=438369

Oh snap, thanks for the guide.

I don't think so, myself. I just spent last night reading a few BL mangas, and looking through the animes to try and get some perspective...it's actually WORSE, from what I could find translated/subbed. Nothing but the strictest adherence to the seme/uku structure, silly 'I just want to fuck' narratives, all of it. I'm sure there's some good stuff out there, but hell...

Well, I do guess I was being too general. I have seen BL series where they are just trying to hump each other. Though, I guess I just seen more romantic Boy Love Series than, Girls Love.

It does seem that I should check out this Natsume show.

That's pretty rude. I've made many constructive posts and you don't respect a thing I have to say? I'm not buying your forced apology or likely made up explanation.

the reason/apology is neither made up nor forced. I'm just keeping it real. But I do agree that I need to desalinize. Stuff though...

I'm not going for criticism, I'm merely stating my disagreement. Ideally, with my disagreement in mind, you could try to understand why I disagree -- maybe by just thinking about my stances on things or reading more in the future instead of expecting me to lay everything out for you.

Lol, lay everything out? You're mistaken. Pizzaroll, (1) that's lazy and again inconducive to an honest discourse, and (2) you've said nothing. Everything would be nice and save me some time, I admit, but damn; If you're going to speak with absolution, at the least, back it up. It's really that simple. Even the shittiest preacher puts more into his homilies.

I'm not calling you an idiot by any means. This is you looking into things because of a preconceived (& incorrect) view you have of me. What I said is what I mean -- I'm stating my disagreement. Nothing more.

No, lol, I didn't mean to say that I felt you were calling me an idiot. That was more a passive-aggressive (or not so passive, lol) insult than anything, and I apologize again there. Desalinization in progress.


The thing with film is that it's not just a visual storytelling medium -- it's a form of visual expression. A deep story can be a part of this, but it doesn't have to be.

Wouldn't that still be called a story though, those sequenced events of expression? I might be acting as a bit of a reductionist in saying that, now that I look at it, but it doesn't seem as if it's something unable to be reduced.

If that's where I think it is in what I think it is, I recently just got past that bit in the game lol.

Yeah it's Inazuma Eleven, I love the show. I haven't played any of the games yet, but I'm thinking of picking up one of the 3DS ones.
 
Controversial Opinion Anime-GAF

I'd probably rather watch a Boy's Love anime over a Girl's Love anime, and I'm straight.
That's because shows with shoujo-ai content typically try to give straight guys a boner, while shows with shonen-ai content typically try to make fangirls squee. -_-

...This looks like it could be good. I'll give it a read. What I've been looking for, is something like... an Ai Yazawa piece, but with Isabella being more than an honorable mention.

I'm relatively new to it all, myself. You could be completely right.

In general, fanboys are way more obsessed with purity than fangirls so shounen-ai dudes humping each other would probably not be that big of a deal. Lesbians should be pure, though.

yeah, it seems like the humping or, at the least spooning is pretty much standard greeting. Like a handshake.

Angel Densetsu OVA


KYYYYYIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~

I loved it. Kuroda's voice was off IMO, but I didn't imagine the manga would translate well to anime to begin with, so the OVA proved me wrong.

So to all the people still watching Guilty Crown, is the wheelchair girl going to die anytime soon?
There are no signs that would indicate they will even remember to put her in the coming episodes.

Anything with porn goes into the beating off box. Kuroko is basically those boob grabbers. Its not like she's done anything to Misaka!
I guess you can have guys making out on TV, like in No. 6.
I'm trying to think if there's been any girls making out in anime and nothing comes to mind at the moment.

Frankly, I've no idea what's going to happen with all the bullshit they pull out of their asses from week to week. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if cat girl is the only one who makes it out alive! XD

Depends on what you mean by "making out" I suppose.
Kanamemo's lesbian couple gets to make hot lovin' off-screen (in bathrooms and various places).
The lesbian couple in Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere get a kiss scene; not really an extended make-out session though.

Oh damn, Kanamemo. I totally forgot that one.

Might be a stupid question, but does anyone know where I can go to check what the latest anime out is and when it airs etc. Thanks.

Garzey's Wing 1 (Dub)


Oh, yes....OH YEEES. This dub is humorous excellence.
King of all Bad OldDubland.

Also, DAT RAFT SCENE
People panicking with all the energy of an elderly man on the patio!

"We die together?"
"Probably."
"NOO! It can't be true!"

I have yet to find a dub to make me laugh aloud so much. And I still have two more parts to go! Looking forward to more, "I'm being chased by a REAL army!"

Thank you all for your recommendations!!! I've got a lot to look forward too now! I am excite!

So many hidden mecha gems recommended there that I'm surprised I've never heard of them before, but to have not found or heard of them and then find out about them like this... well, I'm sure that I'm in for a good period of Anime'gasmic future :)

There's something I'd like to ask as well... I seem to recall seeing something some time about a witch or a witch sister or somtehing and it was based on magic and was medieval or whatever and I can remember I think I liked it but I have no idea what it was called or what it is... perhaps I just saw one episode at a friends house or something one time... I remember thinking to myself "oooh I've got to watch this" but never remembered until now.

Also, while many of those recommendations were Mecha based, I'm wondering if there are any more Medieval / any Medieval, swords and Knights and Elves and Magic and Dragon type anime?

Could you guys make some of those type of recommendations? Heh... sorry for asking so much of you all :)

Berserk-Set in a medieval Europe-inspired world,a tale about a young swordsman who joins a mercenary band called the Band of the Hawk lead by a young man named Griffith who dreams of having his own kingdom(must watch).

Claymore-set in a fictional medieval island where humans are plagued by Yoma, humanoid shape-shifters that feed on humans. A mysterious group, known as the The Organization, creates human-Yoma hybrids to kill Yoma for a fee. These female warriors wear Roman army-like uniforms. The public refer to them as "Claymores," alluding to their Claymore swords, or "Silver-eyed Witches," due to their silver eyes.
