It's great. I recommend dub though, since the subs get a little too extreme. I had to pause at some times.

Yup, season 3. ****ing amazing.

After you watch Code Geass S1 and S2 go watch the movies with Akito the Exiled!

GotenGraal 10-04-2013 03:59 PM

If you wanna watch something extremely epic that gives you those crazy adrenaline rushes then Gurren Lagann is a must see.

I've also seen Baccano (dubbed) and I thought the character voices were perfect, better than the sub's.

Code Geass like everyone has been saying is a must see. Another epic one filled with plot twisters.

AoT is also pretty cool, can't wait for season 2.

And Naruto gets a lot of hate but that last episode!! The Uchiha brothers teaming up!

Now imma probably watch the new anime made by the creators of Gurren Lagann, finish katanagatari, and AWAIT THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED POKEMON ORIGINS!

Yeah dubs do suck most of the time but baccano's dub is brilliant and adds to the show (having people talk japanse when its set in new york sounds wierd)

Tyler 10-05-2013 01:45 PM

I watch most of mine in subs, but I thought Soul Eater and Code Geass had great dubs.

Skill 10-06-2013 04:28 AM

I prefer subs over dubs, but then again most of the animes I watch aren't big enough to be dubbed in the west anyways, so all I get is fan made subs xD

I'll have to see CG's subs, but there's no way in hell the dub can even stand close to Lelouch's original voice.

Ramone 10-08-2013 09:49 PM

That pokemon origins though.

EDIT: I know Clannad is pretty popular, but if you haven't seen that one I've heard great things about it.

Clannad, the anime that everyone cries to.

I absolutely hate people who say a series is sh*t because their waifu had one bad episode, or when you say you don't like said 'waifu' they call you an idiot. Annoying as hell.

Yes, a series revolves around one character having a bad episode. Come on Talon, we all know that.

Pazx 10-10-2013 06:02 AM

Watched From Up on Poppy Hill at 1am this morning. Didn't enjoy it. First let down from Studio Ghibli for me.

Talon 10-10-2013 06:25 AM

why 1am this morning

could there be a 1am during the evening

Pazx 10-10-2013 06:57 AM

because it felt like last night

That's one of my favourites :O

Pazx 10-12-2013 08:09 AM

It had the look of a SG movie, but it felt like a bad slice of life/school anime. Which is probably what they were going for, but I felt that the stuff about their father/s wasn't as emotional or interesting as the plots in other SG movies, and it wasn't enough to rescue the film from feeling like a rushed slice of life anime.

Whisper of the Heart and Grave of the Fireflies are next for me.

Pazx 10-12-2013 11:20 AM

~~~~~~

roughly 3 hours later:

Whisper of the Heart was good. Similar to From Up on Poppy Hill in the way that it bares resemblance to slice of life and school anime, but differs in the way that it doesn't suck. It also avoided being a trashy teen romance, and provides nice insight into the world of junior high students.
Spoiler
The movie was paced well, it wasn't rushed or forced but unlike From Up on Poppy Hill it kept moving, and the romance was good (besides the whole "will you marry me" thing at the end which felt quite dumb, but I suppose it was to show that they were made for each other). The characters were realistic and 3 dimensional. Typical of Studio Ghibli, fantasy elements were present, both in Shizuku's story and the antique store, but the realistic and relatable nature of the film is what makes it stand out. Yoshifumi Kondo did an excellent job directing the film, and it differs to films done by Miyazaki particularly in the animation and backgrounds (which are spectacular) but it still is a SG film and resemble's Hayao Miyazaki's other films. It references other SG films, and I thought the Baron was dressed similarly to the Prince in Howl's Moving Castle. The dub was good, it's not a film where you must watch it with subtitles. The ending still kinda sucked though. A lighthearted movie that aims to give you that warm fuzzy feeling, well worth watching.

Strike The Blood, i think it's pretty dang good!
Another good one is Log Horizon. It's kinda like SAO.

Strike the blood so far has been pretty good but here is where you downfall. Log horizon is completely different to SAO. Why? Well for one you cant die, so far there has been no clear way of getting out of the game, combat is different, theres hundreds of thousands trapped in the game not 10,000 in SAO. So yeah very much different

Anyways you all should watch samurai flamenco, its about a young model who ever since he was young always wanted to be a hero and with the help of a police officer he becomes samurai flamenco. Its basicly just kick ass but an anime version but it is directed by the guy who made Baccano so WATCH IT

This anime is a true masterpiece. I don't say it about things very often, but this anime really changed the way I look at life and is one of the best things I've ever seen.

Hopefully it's a quality over quantity anime if it can change the way you look at like.

Ramone 12-04-2013 08:25 PM

Ah it's been a while. So has anyone started any new animes? I recently started hunterxhunter and watched all current 100episodes in pretty much a week. twas fun.

Me, very good, alot of drama and action with some comedy relief. I love it so far,
but it'll be sad when it finishes in the next few weeks.

Talon 12-08-2013 06:22 PM

k, I'll check it out

thx u

Tyler 12-09-2013 03:39 PM

Has anyone finished a mainstream anime? I always make it to 200 something episodes and just stop and watch another anime. I've done it for Bleach, Naruto, and Naruto Shippuden.

Pazx 12-10-2013 12:55 AM

most mainstream anime are (is?) ongoing though

i gave up around 200 for naruto too lol

Talon 12-10-2013 12:58 AM

yeah, Shippuden got bland for me after I saw the direction they were taking it after around 250ish, especially with the obscene amount of fillers

twilit 12-10-2013 01:57 AM

Shippuden's actually finally picking the pace back up. The war is starting to wrap up more or less. But there's still a lot we all know they are going to draw out and prolong.

Ramone 12-10-2013 03:23 PM

I'm watching the anime that's your avatar piciture right now....AND IT'S FUNNY AS HELL. Holy crap I cannot go one episode without laughing it's that great. "My mental choices are completely interfering with my school romantic comedy"

oh yeah im also starting to watch toriko, i must say the idea of this anime is very good and im starting to enjoy this.
http://www.watch-anime.net/toriko/

Description
In the world of Toriko, many extravagant and delicious ingredients exist in the most dangerous places, and it is up to the Bishoku-ya, or Gourmet Food Providers, to hunt down these animals and plants in the face of danger. Toriko is one such Bishoku-ya, taking his place as one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Bishoku-ya with his immense strength and appetite. Together with Komatsu, a timid chef trianed in the art of preparing food; Coco, the poisonous Bishoku-ya who can see the future; Terry Cloth, the offspring of a clone of the long-extinct Battle Wolf; and many more, Toriko takes on job after job while searching for the foods great enough to make it into his dream full-course meal.

It's over today, I'ma cry now. I love that series so much, might even consider it as one of my most favorite series. I thought WataMote was a great comedy series, but NouCome topped it, definitely my favorite comedy series now.

After the last episode, I am totally on Team Ouka Yuuougi

So I'm watching Kyoukai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary). Pretty fun right now, nice balance of drama and comedy, but some of the character development is glaringly forced. Just nitpicking though, I recommend it.

i like the animation though the story seems a tad boring and doesn't draw my attention too much.
