Never watched it with commentary, give us a TLDR

Forget most of it though, must rewatch again

 

[JCG]

I havent seen commentary for code Geass and Im not sure if the DVD set has it. WIll have to look. If it does I might have to watch it that way. I love when directors are like "We just felt like doing this for the lols".

Truth be told, I don't think that specific episode has any commentary. But on some of the others the staff does say "yes, this thing that happened in Code Geass is totally impossible outside of anime, but we felt it was amusing or funny". Which makes the attempt to provoke audience reactions quite intended, unlike a lot of the other titles on the list that have no self-awareness.

 

[Gbraga]

I think I should follow the list

It reminds me of a scene in, I believe it was Cat Soup where the director is like "I wanted them to make a bird with the sky in it because its awesome".

Do you importing those Free! BDs DTL?

Would have if they had engSubs.

But I did buy more Free! stuff this week.

 

[cajunator]

I think I should follow the list

Yes. The list has things in it like Arjuna and Yami to Boshi and BLoodC that really ought to be seen. Or maybe its better to say experienced.

 

[Gbraga]

Never heard about at least half of the list. This gon b gud

If it says dubbed version, the experience is multiplied.

 

[Gintoki313]

Honestly, don't.

5 episodes in and it's been a piss poor adaption for anyone familiar with the games.

And the way they've managed to mishandle the story of CT/CS, makes it's all sorts of confusing for any newcomers who've never played the games before.

Well that's disappointing. Is the action at least any good, the trailer made it look nice?

 

[cajunator]

Just as long as the anime doesnt ruin my enjoyment of the game. Which would be pretty damned difficult.

 

[Gbraga]

If it says dubbed version, the experience is multiplied.

I can only imagine. I'm not even a native english speaker (probably obvious) but I'll watch the english dub of those anyway, I'm sure it'll be unforgettable.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I'm not sure if you truly know what you're getting yourself into.

oh, they're unforgettable alright!

I think it'll be a life changing experience.

 

[Mockingbird]

Haven't kept up, whatever happened to Pupa?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Haven't kept up, whatever happened to Pupa?

We know it exists, but there's no new news about when/where it's going to air.

 

[R_thanatos]

Action : Cajun woke up ...
Effect : Thread speed x3

---------------
Arpeggio of blue Steel - Ars Nova - 05

This episode was better than expected

I mean i knew there would be friendship , but i certainly didn't expect that in such a way .

Ah then we reached the final design !

Friendship ? Good
Dressing dolls ? Better
Goofing comedy ? Great.

 

[FelixOrion]

Haven't kept up, whatever happened to Pupa?

A trailer...a creepy trailer. And that's all I think.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I think it'll be a life changing experience.

Okay, so you do know what you're getting yourself into.

 

[cajunator]

I think it'll be a life changing experience.

Several shows on that list will definitely make you see things in a new perspective.

 

[Gbraga]

I wanna start with a bang, which one is the best?

 

[cajunator]

I wanna start with a bang, which one is the best?

Have you seen any on that list?

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I wanna start with a bang, which one is the best?

Laws of Eternity

 

[cajunator]

Blood C, Mad bull 34, Garzey Dub, Yami to Boshi, Arjuna, School Days

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

School Days works for the best if you have 0 knowledge of it either.

 

[cajunator]

Well thats true. It is the definitive show of its genre.

 

[FelixOrion]

I wanna start with a bang, which one is the best?

Mars of Destruction

Spoiler

Just kidding. This thing is 30 min of pure pain.

 

[cajunator]

Mars of Destruction

Spoiler

Just kidding. This thing is 30 min of pure pain.

But it has pretty great sound production

 

[Save 'N Quit]

It does have Platinum and Makoto in it though so I have to at least try it. Not really looking forward to it though. Maybe if they put Kokonoe in there.

She already appeared in Episode 5 and I'm pretty sure she made a few other earlier appearances like when she captured Hakumen.

Well that's disappointing. Is the action at least any good, the trailer made it look nice?

Nope.

Infact, the poor action can be summed up with the Jin gif.

And where the animation budget went towards.

[Syrinx]

Laws of Eternity

This is the first Happy Science film, correct? May watch soon. These sound positively fascinating.

Blood C, Mad bull 34, Garzey Dub, Yami to Boshi, Arjuna, School Days

I've watched all of these but Arjuna and I recommend them.

oh god. THAT is where that gif came from? Fuck.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Yeah. I think they're up officially on Youtube as well so there's that.

 

[madp]

Please don't suggest bad things to people until you've suggested good things.

 

[Syrinx]

Yeah. I think they're up officially on Youtube as well so there's that.

Are they dubbed?

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Are they dubbed?

Yes

 

[Syrinx]

Yes

Are the dubs amazing?

 

[JCG]

Please don't suggest bad things to people until you've suggested good things.

But there are only two or three actually good things on the list. What else are they supposed to suggest?

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Are the dubs amazing?

Sure

 

[cajunator]

Please don't suggest bad things to people until you've suggested good things.

The things I suggested were excellent things!

 

[rhizomatic]

The only List anime I've actually seen is Baoh. I know I said I was gonna watch Mad Bull 34 a few days ago, but I still haven't gotten around to that (I was busy catching up with HxH).

 

[Syrinx]

Sure

Does that mean no?

 

[cajunator]

Watch Arjuna. Its right up there with the rest!

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

I'm pretty sure Yes doesn't mean no.

Mad Bull is worth your time. Hell its worth a second time.

King of the Juniors!

Might as well do an updated seasonal ranking:

AoTS Tier:
-Kyousougiga: An interesting world, really pretty art, and the best OP of the season! The question is, where will it go in its second half?
-Kill La Kill: Some people will find it incredibly grating, some people will love it. I fall on the second side. The series seems to be turning to a somewhat more serious tone with increased world building, although we'll see if it sticks.

I Did Not Expect This To Be Good Tier:
-White Abum 2: A very light touch supporting a trio of characters who are all likable people with good interactions. Has the experimental, avant garde touch of the protagonist being an up-standing, confident guy who's neither a klutz or a pervert.
-Log Horizon: Fun show with a fun cast, and some nice MMO-y touches to make the world actually feel like a game. Unique protagonist. Not brilliant, but very entertaining so far.

Hanging On By A Thread Tier:
-Samurai Flamenco: Poor production values aside, my opinion on this show has been up and down like crazy. I like the core stuff between Masayoshi and Goto (Episode 2 is my favorite so far), but now they're introducing side characters, neither of whom I particularly like so far.

Hanging On By A Thinner Thread Tier:
-Golden Time: I want to like this show, really! There's some nice character interaction, and some decent humor, and I really like the way it's paced to get past some pre-relationship crap. But I can not handle some of the ridiculously stupid plot points this show throws at me. Also Koko is constantly on the border between being likably whacked and just being insane.

 

[Syrinx]

I'm pretty sure Yes doesn't mean no.

Whenever I say "sure" to "Is this good?", I usually mean "I don't know", " I don't care", or "I don't feel like talking about it". But that's just me I guess.

 

[CorvoSol]

Team nekomimi/kemonomimi is the right choice.

Clearly.

You'll be in the middle with your Escaflowne catgirls.

I blame Breath of Fire II for imprinting the idea of catwomen as sexy into my young mind.

I think I should follow the list

[fertygo]

But there are only two or three actually good things on the list. What else are they supposed to suggest?

Honestly I can't bothered with that list after seeing a few..

 

[Syrinx]

Mad Bull is worth your time. Hell its worth a second time.

The last episode had more stupid packed into 45 minutes than gaming side has produced in the past year. Everything was "Wut?"
