Chihayafuru 2 2

I thought Hanano was going to ruin the show for me, but Kana saved the day and made her into someone who's likable. I also think I'm used to Chihaya's mom and sister not giving a shit about her. It's hilariously tragic.

 

[Steroyd]

well, that is a narrow selection. Why can't the ass and the boobs sampled into a single show since they both serve the same function?

Because

QUESTION: Though I won't be finishing it for some time, I'm thinking about which Gundam to watch after AGE. It can't be UC because I want to watch all of those in order. I was thinking either G Gundam or Gundam 00. Thoughts?

Turn A. Failing that, G Gundam. Gundam 00 had some amazing first season promise before it pissed on the fanbase.

Out of those 2 choices definitely 00, its the much better show.

I'd recommend 08th MS Team in general though, definitely the best Gundam.

Definitely go with G. It's a great show, and one that I think you would enjoy quite a bit. It's also very different from every other Gundam series, so it won't feel too samey compared to all the other 'let's just retell the story of the original' shows.

Whoa. Not cool, man. Not cool.

I need to lay low for a while and think about purpose of life for a bit...

 

[zeroshiki]

Alright so, long story short, I'm retiring from GAF. Not anything to do with you guys, just that posting here (and other places on the internet, including the IRC) constantly is a distraction that I can no longer afford. I may or may not come back later on down the line, but for right now I'm done.

Actually, I'll probably make the occasional post on Gaming if something big happens and maybe show up here to give quick impressions on what I'm currently watching, but nothing more. Just can't do it anymore.

Sasami, Haganai, and Minami-ke are still pretty good and I have no desire to watch Tamako 2. Maybe one of these days... Hopefully others here will be able to take on the SHAFT banner in my stead!

No, wait, what will happen to Yankees-AnimeGaf? We can't let Enron win.



Fine, be that way. I'm sure the Toradora 2 announcement will make you come scurrying back. No?

I wish you all the best, man. I hope you get through whatever it is you're doing.

no, I didn't... mean...

 

[Theonik]

I wake up and I see K-ON GAF has finally assassinated jman.

This should be a lesson that this is what happens to all those who oppose us! Long live the Principality of Mion!

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

You forgot The Big O, you silly tomato.

I recommend the following for whenever you get around to it:
Armored Trooper VOTOMS
Getter Robo Armageddon
Shin Mazinger Z
GaoGaiGar
G Gundam
Koutetsushin Jeeg
Macross Plus
Armor Hunter Mellowlink
Giant Robo

edit: Mr.Jeff, you're all right.

LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!

So if anyone can help let's suppose this person never watched any Ghost in the Shell properly, what should be watched? What order? For the first film, original or 2.0?

 

[Syrinx]

Everyone says 2.0 is an abomination. Go with the original.

 

[wonzo]

Just watch GitS and GitS 2: Innocence. As for the first film, avoid the 2.0 version at all cost.

 

[Haly]

Giant Robo isn't a mecha show, it is about ninjas and the energy crisis.

 

[xptoxyz]

Okay, thanks, I knew that was a big possibility with remasters like this, but was trying to not jump to conclusions.

edit:

So avoid the TV Anime and stuff? Well this way less stuff to get through.

Watch the first film it its original form then watch innocence. Then you can stop watching altogether if you like. 2.0 is really bad messing with the original with some weird colour choices and some fairly bad CG both of which are unneeded.

Shining Hearts Bread of Happiness Omake 1

BD specials and the first had to be a beach episode which this time, they actually did bring Rick along instead of making him cook bread in the kitchen alone. Was alright, really just seemed to do this art style then show each of the girls in their swimwear in normal anime style...

 

[Ultimadrago]

Giant Robo isn't a mecha show, it is about ninjas and the energy crisis.

WITH mech fighting!...

Spoiler

kinda

.

 

[Mature]

Giant Robo isn't a mecha show, it is about ninjas and the energy crisis.

What, really? Haha. I got this for someone for Christmas because it looked mecha-y and Tezuka-y and he likes both of those things. Hopefully he'll still like it.

 

[CorvoSol]

Oh yeah I always forget that Turn A isn't UC, haha. Maybe I'll look into that.

Rah Xephon 6 The show is beautifully animated, but man, I dunno, I can't decide if it's a lame Evangelion rip-off, or I'm just not to the good parts yet.

 

[Ultimadrago]

It's good fun. He should.

 

[Taruranto]

^^RahXephon is pretty meh, and the "confusing" plot doesn't even pay off, imo.

I really don't like you.

RICK'S BREAD SP1

The girls go to the beach to help heat up RICK'S BREAD and make it rise the only way they know how. Such dedication to making the best RICK'S BREAD.

There's a giant robot. Good enough.

Oh he'll like it.

Aah "Rick's Bread" jokes, how I've missed you so.

 

[Syrinx]

Wow, you guys weren't kidding. K-ON!!'s OP is soooooo much worse than K-ON!'s. Like, they're not even in the same league. What were they thinking changing it?

Arashi no Yoru ni 1

This is actually super cute. I shall attempt to murder cajunator with this.
Wiki says this was actually broadcast with an optional English audio track. Neat.

He fell on his own sword! Don't look at me!

Depends what you want. Do you want pure cyberpunk? Stick to the movies. Interested in a police procedural with a healthy dosing of cyberpunk philosophy? Check out Stand Alone Complex

 

[Chet Rippo]

Well, it's a new season, and don't worry, the second OP is a lot better. Both EDs are fantastic though.

Rick goes to the beach with the same girl who just wears different accessories.

 

[Moonlight]

I wouldn't avoid the TV anime if I were you. It's good. Very well produced with good action, excellent world-building and great world building. You should give the movies and the show a look. Decide from there which one you like better. They're both worth your time.

Good luck. I sometimes feel the same way.

I'm still not gonna leave Anime-GAF as long as this backlog season keeps going, but I should probably cut down on my pointless lurking. It eats time and doesn't give a commensurate return.

Seems like a strange place to put them, though? And I've only watched one Le Betard rant before on YT that cajunator linked to.

"Hey, do you like this J-pop song from the super-adorable magical girl anime, Heartcatch Precure? Then you'll love Dan Le Betard ranting about the Heat from almost two years ago!"

The personalized recommendations are based on your entire prior viewing history, and they have nothing to do with whatever you're currently watching.

I honestly find them pretty distracting.

Gyrozetter 15

I wonder how long it's gonna take for the other drivers to get their upgrades/new Gyrozetter's. Well,

Spoiler

not long apparently according to the Preview!

They're gonna have to update the OP & ED pretty soon at the rate they're going.

 

[Articalys]

I don't know how I missed this news earlier. To commemorate 10,000 followers on the show's Twitter account, the official Kill Me Baby website has created a set of new Twitter avatar icons. What makes this special is the number of icons they decided to make: one for each of the first volume's 686 Blu-ray sales.

I'm sure they're glad it sold so low now.

686 too many imo

GaoGaiGar 1

Ash Ketchum is rescued by Raiden on a North Pole Space Lion from a Garbage Horse. It makes sense in context.

It is, and I may as well post the rest of the K-ON! set:

Yui
Mugi

Azusa

[Syrinx]

K-ON!! 1

My holdout for Season 2 really didn't last very long at all, did it? Oh well. I'm almost done with AMG and DTB anyway.

The Light Music Club wants to recruit new members so Azusa won't be lonely when the rest of them graduate (and that there will actually be a club, for that matter). They start by putting on their animal outfits, which was puzzling since that had such catastrophic results the last time they did it. Why was Azusa the pig and not the cat? She's fucking Azu-nyan goddammit! Needless to say, it worked out no better this time.

So they go ahead and try new tactics, like seeing how other clubs recruit members. They learn some stuff, but they don't actually do anything with what they've learned. Just dress up in their animal outfits again. So they don't recruit any new members, even after their performance. which they didn't fucking show! I want my Light and Fluffy Time, dammit! But then they realize they're happy with the club as is. Hooray. Everything works out. And Azusa plans to be even stricter with Yui, who hasn't changed much at all since she came to high school.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 16

I laughed so much when Kyon was like "I felt like Ive seen this scene before"

Spoiler

when hes starring at Nagato by herself at the pool

. I like how they do throw in new scenes or things to go with some of the conversations already covered and occasionally new lines. Koizumi's swimsuit upgrade was nice and his watch and then the scene where he just stops, stares, and smiles at Kyon. I hope the solution isnt actually

Spoiler

to embrace Haruhi from behind, and go "I Love You" that Koizumi suggests...I hope its something more like someone has to win at the insect catching contest unless its something not on the list. Its like Koizumi wants to say something and even Asahina, then Haruhi also seems to be expecting something.

He sounds like Raiden. Or maybe Dio from VLR. Either way he keeps reminding me he's only 20.
