What certain Anime ending has made you feel like this.

To the point where you don't know what the hell to say.

Too many.

I also just finished Glass Fleet, and that ending took all the series' fuckery, multiplied it, then put it in a leftover grocery bag and handed it to you like you were supposed to eat that shit up. I don't even know.

 

[Syrinx]

Too many.

Nice canoe.

 

[BGBW]

I will always remember Elfen Lied as my first bad anime ending. It's actually all I remember about it. Oh and that it had nudity.

 

[Branduil]

Too many.

[firehawk12]

Glass Fleet was the one with the girl who pretends to be a guy for some weird reason, right?

(Also the two carriages charging at each other)

 

[wonzo]

the glass fleet ending is the hypest shit ever

Yeah.

I don't get it either.

the glass fleet ending is the hypest shit ever

For all the shit I'll forever talk about it from now on, overall, Glass Fleet was kinda hype.

They also have spaceships but use fucking bows and arrows and shit outside of them.

 

[Branduil]

Yeah.

I don't get it either.

So hype.

 

[jman2050]

The show was dumb and nonsensical from the start but it completely lost me when it decided that physics in Space was only a thing when narratively convenient.

 

[CorvoSol]

I never really felt like Glass Fleet's ending was as crazy as people said. Mostly cuz I felt like I saw most of it coming.

Getter Robo 24

In which a little boy spears a man to death and then imagines his father's ghost laughing it off like that's not some twisted shit.

Also Ryoma and Hayato wore wetsuits and there was not a single objectifying shot of them in spite of this. I was disappointed. Gundam and Mazinger would not waste this chance!

Kindaichi Case Files R 1

Huh, I get the feeling this isn't where I'm supposed to jump into the franchise.

Kindaichi Case Files R 1

There's apparently a whole 100+ episode series before the new one, but good luck finding it lol

 

[CorvoSol]

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam 24

So the siege and conquest of Von Braun city ends sort of abruptly and confusingly and I'm left with a lot of things I don't think I quite understood. First: how could the Titans so quickly retreat from a city which just a few episodes back we were told "whoever controls controls the universe"? Second: Why did Blex name Quattro the new leader of the AEUG? What kind of system does the AEUG run on that he can do that? Third: Why is Katz such an awful character? Also, why did Char expect that the EF would do anything other than surrender its military power to the Titans? I mean the AEUG started a war with them, and threatened as the EF must feel since they're trying to rebuild their planet after the whole OYW thing, what were they supposed to do?

Actually, really, what was the Earth Federation expected to do other than all the stuff it has been doing? Rebuilding a planet, governing an empire that spans to Jupiter and waging a war is hard to do.

Anyway, other than that, the episode wasn't that bad. Kamille gets to bounce around town like he's some kind of spy, the Zeta is still wicked sweet and I confess that Fa using Haro to knock Reccoa over so she could get onto the Banana Methuss was pretty damn funny.

Also I think this is the first episode in which Lt. Yazan Gable is introduced. He spends Zeta as a bloodthirsty bastard with one hell of a rape face. He spends ZZ Gundam trying to stay fed as total novice Judau clowns with his dork face.

What certain Anime ending has made you feel like this.

To the point where you don't know what the hell to say.

Ayakashi.

It's a rather gory fighting series where everyone fights using the creatures they have under their control, bit like a 2nd rate Narutaru or something. There are lots of deaths, even important characters tend to die

The main villain's death causes everyone to come back to life.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I asked the Manga thread this but I'll ask it here too, just slightly reworded.

----------------------

So what is the absolute worst cliche a writer can put in a romance series?
And I mean something infuriating enough to make you want to find them and punch them in the face.

For me it would definitely be the oblivious character(s) or the whole series being the getting together part with the couple finally becoming official at the very end or near it. These two infuriate me. I can deal with the 'bad boy who has a heart of gold but nobody knows' or 'the transfer student' or 'random childhood friend shows up and he/she is in love with main character as well'

Actually childhood friend bothers me a lot as well. Especially with the whole "When we grow up, I'll marry you!" and them taking that to heart. First of all y'all are fucking kids, which kid in their right mind says that when they're under 10 years old? Especially boys, like most I knew at that age thought girls were icky and didnt' care for romance. Second of all, why would you come back X years later and expect them to care about that? You were kids, kids say a lot of things. Jesus fucking christ Japan.

Two mangas/anime recently took cliches I hate and completely buttstomped them and told them to get the fuck out. Ore Monogatari because the couple gets together really early on and it's complete diabeetus and hilarity, and Baby Steps because

Spoiler

Natsu has a childhood friend who promised to marry her as kids, but both of them are just really good friends currently and laugh at shit like that. Thank god.

Kindaichi Case Files R 1

Huh, I get the feeling this isn't where I'm supposed to jump into the franchise.

I watched the first arc fine. I'm still not sure if I'm charmed by how old fashioned it is or not. Well, that and the fact that this is what Hyouka might have been like if it was about real cases.

 

[jgminto]

The fuck is this? Why is CR putting motion comics with terrible dubs up?

 

[fertygo]

Madoka : Rebellion
Man the plot is comic book as fuck, Urobuchi pls..
I'm OK with the ending but the 2nd half is way too dragged.

Best part was the fucking Gun Kata fight, the choreography are trying too hard with the fighter just flipping all over the screen, but I don't care its a effing Gun Kata fight.. Urobuchi you bastard, you're requesting this aren't you. Anime need more Gun Jata fight.

 

[firehawk12]

Manga 2.5! lol

I remember when the Western comic companies tried this... I think they gave up pretty quickly though.

 

[Grzi]

Anohana END

I dare anyone to watch that and not at least tear up.

Raises hand.

 

[fertygo]

Raises hand.

I teared up almost in every episode back then when the anime still airing, but I can say for sure its not because the plot.. you know what I'm saying LMAO

 

[jgminto]

I must have missed Manga 2.0.

Heh, if we wanted that stuff we'd take full blown animation, as quite readily displayed here already.

Re: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in general, am I supposed to enjoy it ironically or does it know how dumb it is? Or yes? It's not a big deal, I've enjoyed it so far either way.

Why would one enjoy it ironically? Enjoy because it's over-the-top, and it knows it is.

 

[Jintor]

If enjoying things ironically is enjoying things 'in spite' of what is presumably author-intended, I don't think JoJos really fits that mold.

 

[Theonik]

I dare anyone to watch that and not at least tear up. I'm still crying.

I was crying of laughter at how terrible it was if that counts.

 

[Eusis]

If enjoying things ironically is enjoying things 'in spite' of what is presumably author-intended, I don't think JoJos really fits that mold.

Yeah, there may be a case for Part 1, but even that seems more intended over the top theatrics. Then you get to the next part and it quickly becomes apparent he just loves being absurd.

 

[Nothing1016]

You know what I hate? When two of your friends stop by to watch the new season of Mushishi at 1AM but instead of watching it they fall asleep in a matter of minutes. I was gonna sleep on that couch. -.-

 

[BGBW]

Stop having friends then.

 

[Shard]

Yea, Mushishi is not a series I recommend watching when one is tired.

 

[firehawk12]

That's coloured pages!

Well, there's always Inferno Cop...

While I think a 8 Hardcore History of the Kawahara-verse is probably out of the question, I think someone should do a recap podcast of S2. Because if Game of Thrones can have like a dozen recap podcasts, SAO can have at least one. lol

 

[Eusis]

Well, there's always Inferno Cop...

Need to actually look into that, but there's definitely something to be said for actually creating it that way rather than trying to cram an existing work into that kind of mold.

OK. Someone call kayos and we can have a back and forth debate on skype or something after each SAO S2 broadcast. I mean it's basically what we did on the board anyway. With special guest R_thanatos who will calmly explain to me what the anime skipped out from the LN when I ask silly questions.

Not a Jdrama podcast?!?!
(What's yours called?)

The problem is no-one wants to do the editing.

I don't think that's really a problem when you can just crap out a Google Hangout directly to youtube nowadays if you absolutely had to. I suppose it depends on how produced you want to make it though.

 

[Joe Molotov]

The Kayos Confusion Cast!

Needs to be a video podcast so he can accidentally post pornographic images without realizing what they are.

There are many that I didn't like or where just plain bad. And there are those, where I wanted to beat up the directors who did that.
My-Hime was a damn finde anime, until it came to the last episode. And well the Manga of Usagi Drop kicked my guts. Oh and True Tears, fucking True Tears. I can't forgive them for doing that to poor Noe!

 

[Theonik]

Yes but the problem there is that no-one seems to want to put the effort to decide on that either.

Or agree on the cast

It requires more effort then you might suspect.

Hence aint nobody got time for that.

Indeed, this is why the ToonamiGAF podcast fell off so quickly.

Whelp here goes nothing. Let's start this.

 

[cajunator]

If you're referring to my comment on Chaika, it's probably about half-true. She's pretty much the only redeeming feature left on the show

Spoiler

unless the new girl spends most of her time not in cat or dragoon form, but unfortunately it doesn't seem that way from the preview.

The show isnt bad at all. So far its a fun fantasy story with some decent action in it. Could be a lot worse.

Too much. I want to use my BD Player damn it, not hinder it.

What do you mean by hinder it?
I think it would get quite the usage!

Chaika - Episode 4



Outsourced episode, looked pretty bad at times, mostly in the first half. The adaptation is kinda interesting in what they choose to keep and what they omit and change though. The back story in this episode was supposed to be much darker, but what they've done with it feels kinda like a Disney version. Not that I really mind though, since there are tons of try hard grimdark 2edgy4me LN stuff out there anyway. Can't wait for the Scrapped Princess vibes to keep building. Lol.

I know nothing of the adaptation, but whats here does feel more like Scrapped Princess and Im enjoying it quite a bit as such. Then they just added fuel to the fire.

Hitsugi no Chaika ep 4
From a Dragoon to a human lady then to a loli.....what a downgrade.

Chaika is getting cuter and cuter every episode dammit are they gonna turn me into a cajun?

Not if youre saying things like this

It's cheaper than I expected. Hell, I was ready to pay $500 if it came down to it.

Same here. What we are actually going to pay is a bargain the likes of which I never expected. But I also paid 80$ for all of CCS on DVD originally (all 18 discs) so CCS has been great to me!

How bad is this anime, like if I were to watch it would I face palm.

You would hate yourself more likely. The show isnt even a fun kind of bad. Its just terrible.

Anohana END

I dare anyone to watch that and not at least tear up. I'm still crying.

oh goodness, im gonna buy this arent I

I remember selling my Geneon DVD sets for like $600 each on Ebay. Dont regret it anymore lol.

How is NIS QC?

I will NEVER sell my Pioneer set. Not even to part it out for a crazy profit. I love CCS too much!

been wondering this for a while, but why isn't there a Precure OT?

See below..

No one is brave enough to have their name as the topic's creator.

I already said I would gladly accept this, but Id need a lot of help with creating graphics and content. Ill "take the fall". It doesnt bother me in the slightest. Just create content, hlep me set up the layout and Ill post it in my name and take whatever insults people throw.

Engage Eyeball: Kiss Dum - Episode 7

Shu's awkward chats with his invisible women are creeping out his visible women a lot more than usual now. Luckily there's this mirror out there that makes them visible and one of the characters from before Episode 4 has it!

The good news is now the invisible women are now visible and the already visible women can see that he wasn't talking to himself the entire time. Shame Shu's a lot weaker now because of it.

Have I mentioned before that I hate the ED to this? That high pitched scream at the beginning of it is not headphone friendly at all.
