sword of the stranger.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood,

and of course, Naruto

One Piece (when it's actual fights, and not some nameless side-character getting an ass-whoopin)

Dragon Ball (The Tenkaichi Budokai Tournaments)

Mobile Suit Gundam (0079) (Because Amuro's a bitch-nigga Char is the embodiment of unadulterated bad-assery)

Since there's been a relatively small influx of it here - Morbito.

Samurai Champloo.

if it wasnt for that dammed base ball episode

I loved that episode. Besides, it still satisfies all of the requirements that you laid out.

baseball episode was bes episode

like everyone always says it should have ben put in closer to the beginning

Thats true
Maybe they wanted to get a joke episode out before shit got serious

but it worked out terribly

It didn't bother me so much as it did other people

Hajime no Ippo

No

it was good, didn't really like the moon squirrels episode but i'm happy

I read about 9 chapters of the manga. I liked it a lot but for some reason I just stopped.

It was nice. I liked it. Also, sorry, I don't think many people here have seen it

Remind me, what part was that?

I was a little disappointed with the second cour though(even though I liked it more than the first) and I don't know why.

But try not to give away spoilers.

It is the last episode... last time you see them on space... I could be more specific but then I'd spoil the whole series

That's what I had a hunch it was, but I can't really remember the ending that well.

All I want to know is why did they start to say random shit like that... I mean, I have no problem with that, it's just that I want to know

What do you mean with "cour"?

Ye, can't remember that ending very well.

Japan airs TV in seasonal blocks, so while it is all considered one "season" or "series" by us and them, it is two cours split over two broadcasting seasons. Cours are just normally 11, 12, or 13 episodes halves of series.

So, cours = set of 12 episodes

Well, thanks for your opinion anyway... Planetes is one of those animes that left me with that weird feel... Now I have to start either Lain, Baccano or Tutu

Lain is best anime, Baccano! is good too.

Make sure to get the BDs for Lain, they improved the visual quality quite a lot.

I downloaded the original version.

I had the original until I bought it. It still looks pretty good (especially for a 1998 anime) but worse than the BDs.

I was thinking of buying a bunch of BDs about three days ago. Then I realized I don't even have a BD player.

PS3

I would if my friend didn't still love LBP and would sell it to me for a fifty.

Fifty bucks for a PS3?? wut?

He wants fifty.

Er, wanted fifty. He won't sell it to me anymore.

I might get to buy a lot of anime soon as I barely spent any money in Thailand which left me with a ton now.

Wait... Can't I download the BD version?

www.nyaa.eu/?page=view&tid=171718

You can, I just didn't the first time I downloaded it and only saw them when I bought the series.

Thank God

Not always twelve, but usually just think of them as like half of a series, except for rare circumstances.

Go for Baccano.

That's good man... I didn't know Lain had BD's... I've already given up to find these old series in more than 480p

Maybe I'll go for Baccano just because it's the shortest and I already downloaded it... But even on /a/ they say: Tutu>all of the anime

Well if you do watch Baccano, watch it dubbed. One of the rare times where it's better.

It'd give me a hard time to watch it dubbed... Not that I can't, it'd be a hassle

What?

It just doesn't sound as well to listen to Japanese seiyuu try to give off a 1930's Manhattan accent. While some voices are...regular Funi, a good portion are well done. I've listened to both. While the sub isn't bad it isn't as immersing to see all these American locations and then...the characters speak Japanese.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cV-g_aPzJE

I might give it a shot... you see, I'm not from the states man...

I know that.

Thanks anyway

You say that like I didn't help at all.

I just thanked you

Well, I'll leave now, see ya people some other time

Chuu-2

It's good but if you don't have a good knowledge of anime you won't get most of the references. And there are a lot of references.

Also for comedy you might like Baka to Test ,K-On, Chobits, and Angel Beats(to an extent).

It's good, but the first few episodes suck because the original director was garbage.

It's terrible.

And yea, Nichijou and Azumanga Daioh.

Nichijou

Azumanga Daioh made me do all three of those things.

And if you read manga, I recommend reading it in manga form too. The anime is pretty much covers EVERYTHING from the manga, but there's also a couple of extra chapters released for the anniversary called "Supplementary Lessons" that are also pretty good.

Baccano! also watch school days and Sora no Woto. All great for different reasons.

So just recommend our favorites?

yea pretty much

School Days, Inferno Cop, and Sora no Woto. The first two will make you react like you wanted, and the last is a nice change of pace.

I was actually going to start school days right now :D thank you good sir. Here is a SOA gif for your troubles

That worked out nicely.

Berserk.

Whats that?

Anime.

None of my favorites have made me do that.

What you're describing is obviously Hajime no Ippo

I post it for every rec thread because I am too lazy for personalized recommendations.

It's a decent recommendation chart though

That's because my tastes are good.

Well I didn't know you made it yourself...

It's great because once you've made it it's very easy to add more things as you watch more anime.

I would add Hyouka and Planetes to your list... and even though I've never seen Durarara, people've told me it's not that good... and then there is ARIA, it's meh

Hyouka was boring, but unlike ARIA it wasn't relaxing.

DRRR!! Had a great first half, but a weak second. I still rec it for the first half though.

Planetes is still in my PTW.

Man, I really enjoyed Hyouka... Leaving aside all the moe and the fact that Chitanda = Mio, it was a good show

And you're missing Spice and Wolf (I know season 2 ED was shit, but still)

Don't even know what PTW is

I actually forgot to add Spice and Wolf, I'll add it when I have 4 others to go with it so I can have another row.

PTW = Plan To Watch, as in I have yet to watch Planetes.

And you also forgot Princess Tutu and Full metal Panic... just sayin...

Haven't seen Princess Tutu

Don't like FMP. Tried to do too much at once and suffered for it.

That's my anon.

Dude,edd ed n eddy is best anime.
Your are insaiyen.

But Spongebob is better than all of them, it is the best anime.

Watch 4 only trust me on this one

Why 4?

It was neither the best nor worst. It was just there.

Bad Sniffy, bad.

Expect supernatural, mystery, and that it's fucking gorgeous

Oh, and movies 1-4 are not in chronological order. Movie 1 will be very confusing but over time you'll get it.

Each movie is about an hour in length except for movies 5 and 7, which are two hours long each.

If you're about to watch it anyway, why not just go in fresh instead of expecting something?

This is probably one of the few times I think it'd be good to ask that question since if he didn't know that it was shown out of chronological order he might've dropped it due to confusion.

I suppose, I just don't like that question, especially when someone is right about to watch it.

Ye, plus it's always bound to make people spoil something.

Is it bad that when I saw this commercial www.youtube.com/watch?v=07ufXTXJQOs I immediately thought of Aku no Hana?

It actually looks better

Heh, it's damn close.

Exactly.

So what is the chronological order?

2, 4, 3, 1, 5, 6, 7

Do not watch it in this order though. Only people going for a rewatch should watch it like that.

nest watch order
4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4

Hmm okay. Thanks, man.

Mujun Rasen(5) is usually considered the best of the films, so that's a heads up.

Well I heard it's gory as fuck and I just wanted to know if that's true or not. But you're right.

Yes.

You gif is explode.

I know, cba to fix it.

I really can't wait for Kizumonogatari. I read the LN, and god is it going to be fucking amazing.

Steins;Gate movie to go to DVD

Summer Break...........................
oh...and more Hajime no Ippo

I think he means announced.

wut

i mean announced.

my answer is still sorta the same

But the blu rays for the TV series are out.

Mirai Fukuin

Also this

i mean for the movies. the two anyway.

U got till July luzer

I'll probably have to wait till next year for the Mirai Fukuin BD

2 far 4 me

probably. looks like you will have to suffer like i did :D

I'm still waiting for the Madoka BDs.

thats right. looks like were both suffering.

*im suffering

The wait's not so bad for the Madoka movies since I already know what's happening. I don't know what happens in Mirai Fukuin.

well the third movie is suppose to air in october then it turns blu ray so like, its like a year and half.

More fucking Yamato 2199 episodes.

I've been watching the newest trailer on loop for a week waiting very patiently. And I still have a month to go.

EXAMS TO FUCKING END

>reverse image search

he tried

my first attempt was here.

I'm smirt

Clearly he didn't try hard enough. I found it through google. Not directly but image search led me to here (archive.foolz.us/foolz/thread/314453/) in which a different file of the same girl was under the filename tantei-inaba-azusa.gif. I pooped that into google and got my answer.

anyway thank you very much ^_^

All i got was Deviantart links which is why i helped him.

It's on the second page, below the DA stuff.

Ah, i usually give up when its not right there in front with big bold letters.

i got bored after 2 minutes.

three minutes, damn it

the fucking voices they makes, holy shit

Aw man, i always lose!

this guy

I was laughing pretty hard the whole time, this is fucking genius. This couldn't have been made seriously, right? Right?

It was made just to see if it could be made at all. It was only half serious.
The anime coming out is serious though.

I feel like it's a more accurate depiction of how interactions between the characters go than actual dating sims, I love it.

I was hoping so because the whole thing was pretty damned funny.

The anime isn't an adaptation of this though, this is a mocking of the anime.

Ye, that's how I feel.

God this is awful.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAT1LjpIBis It is going to be an anime.

I already know. It'll be such shit.

Fuck that, I want the one with the birds to be made into one

This is KyoAni.

I forget the name of it.

Hatoful Boyfriend.

You realize that most websites like that will do the conversion for you right? And if you use credit, Visa or whoever will do the conversion (I think). But don't ever think of moving to Japan for any reason. Visiting is fine, but it is a really shit country that is terrible to live in. Sources: a friend who taught abroad.

Whas so bad about it anyways,besides the living space?

Bitches don't have heating in their buildings.

They have air conditioners,but no heaters?

Neither

Woah. I have no idea about the year-round climate in Japan, but as a man from the Southern United States, I'm confident in saying that I will not move anywhere that does not have an air-conditioner for the entire house. I've spent too many months each year going outside in 100+ degree (fahrenheit; obviously) weather to be taking any chances without glorious air conditioning.

Japan, at least to my knowledge is varied in temperature. Hot in the summer and cold in the winter making it the exact worst place to have neither heating or AC.

I don't believe you.

www.cracked.com/article_20118_5-things-nobody-tells-you-about-living-in-japan.html

#4

This entire article is so truthful it hurts. Not hurting me, but is a quick gravity switch for anyone thinking Japan is a good place to live. I am going to take that link.

Hardly any jobs, low birthrate, economy is shit, they have to import basically all natural resources, you need a parking permit to own a car, foreigners are looked down upon, it is harder for them to get jobs, you used to need an "alien identification card" which basically gave you your rights, etc etc.

A lot. These are the things I remember being told.

I have a friend that went with his dad for a business trip there for about a week.
He said that everyone was fascinated with him,like he was being asked
where he was from and he said the asian chicks really dig americans.

And I was planning on going to japan this summer for a few days,maybe I wont.

Ask if he was in a rural area. That would explain the interest and the comment about the women. In Tokyo and Kyoto foreigners are more common, and thus less exciting. However, my blonde buddy did mention that when he went into the countryside his hair was the only thing everyone cared about, seeing as though it was natural. Blonde isn't natural for full-blooded Japanese and they are fairly isolated so....

It would be fine if you were just visiting, living there would suck though. I recommend going to Okinawa for vacation purposes though. Nice beaches, pretty well developed city (Naha) and likely some girls for you too. Not too much nerd stuff though. Unless you are into martial arts, in which case you could train at the Humbo Dojo, or one of the many others in the city.

I am a bit of an otaku though so.......any rural areas you might recommend?

Many thanks, chap!

you had feels from mirai nikki? it better be nothing from yuno at all. maybe the couple or ninth, but thats it.

>Mirai Nikki
>feels
ISHYGDDT

I laughed hard at this. It has feels, but the more you analyze the "feels" you just expressed, the stupider you feel for having the feels.

I did however did feel something seeing Yukiteru all alone. But in the end, that was just pity that he didn't deserve.

I didn't feel anything, at all. None, nada; I don't get how people can get feels from it.

[spoiler]



well, i had feels when those childhood lovers died together, forgot their names, but i guess you know what I'm talking about.
9th death was fucking awful too, like how she saw her little self walking off with her parents : <
and when yukiteru's mother died, i had special feels to yukiteru's mother ; _ ;

you can have pretty good feels in mirai nikki too.

idunno. go watch ano hana?

Feels? What is feels?

Kanon (2006 version is better imo)
Air
Ano Hana
ef- a tale of memories/melodies
Myself;Yourself
True Tears

Oh god.... If you watch Air, you will die on the inside.

if you really want to feel your tears
i strongly recommend you anohana and myself;yourself.

thank you i'll look it up later..

suit yourself ^-^

Anohana

If any of those that you've previously watched made you shed a tear, Anohana will make your body ache from depression.

thank you i'll look it up later..

AnoHana had to be the saddest anime I have seen, almost made me shed a tear. Should try the movie 5 Centimeters per Second.

>almost made me shed a tear

damn, you're strong.
I cried like a toddler at the end.

My tears have dried up from lack of use.

we need more animes with feels

yeah, maybe something will bring a tear to my eye.

I laughed, I didn't care for a single one of those characters.

>anime with feels

He means ones with braille subtitles.

sounds legit

Better than braille dubs at least, the VAs they get for them are terrible.

thx for the explanation, i'd be lost wtihout you

How else are blind people supposed to watch anime if not for braille fansubs?

i aggree, it totally makes sense

I'm new here.

just go watch Rurouni Kenshin or Macross Frontier,

thank you i'll look it up later..

darker in black summarized in one great gif.

I just now realized that they're in order of appearance.

oh yeah the reviews.
1. one of my favorite shows. watch it
2. on the surface just another action show, but has much deeper tones throughout
3. I heard it's about little girls killing people, sounds cool I guess.

1. Makes you think it's a light-hearted comedy, is actually an amazing dark action/adventure anime with likeable characters and an interesting lot.
2. Really grim action anime focused around what makes someone human, and the worth of a human life. 8/10

1. Had no gates, 0/10
2. No noun to describe what is darker than black, 0/10
3. I dunno what this is, 0/10

so in short he should watch school days instead?

Now you're thinking.

We dull eyes now?

for Nino that's not even a competition

It's a competition everyone wins.

das rubbish

no u

Marvelous.

1. I enjoyed it a lot
2. I enjoyed it a lot
3. never seen it

We're a part of the no thank you group.

1. A good sci-fi show with time traveling. Definitely worth watching.
2. I've heard great things about it but I dropped it on episode 6.
3. First season is good but I've heard mixed thing about the second, Il Teatrino.

Thank you.

No problem.

Trigun >> Steins;Gate = DtB S1 > Gunslinger Girl S1 >> DtB S2 > GG S2

thank you

do you even MAL?

MAL? explain...

myanimelast.com, they always have a bunch of user revs below the main one, it's faster than trying to hack out the same biased opinions out of us, not better though, but certainly faster less confusing and more simple

ahh well i've already seen reviews i just wanted something real like... idk what i expected. But for example the review 95% of people will give you on naruto or something like that is completely different from what i'd give. just wanted some other opinions ya know

well just give it some time and someon'll probably give you something, i haven't seen any of those so i can't help you there

http://myanimelist.net/anime.php

My Anime List, for all your anime or manga related needs, except the whole watching or downloading part.

Oh opinons on Trigun would be awesome too.

I dropped it after the first episode. Does Uchida play a bigger role later on? She was the only reason I was considering continuing watching Photokano.

nah, not really, she's still sort of a supporting character
but she might get more attention in the next episodes.
i really hope so.

If she does then I'll pick it back up. I'm still amazed that a show that lackluster managed to hold my interest with the introduction of a single character.

hehe, yeah, she's the most interesting girl imho.

if you're that interested in the plot setting you might be better off waiting for the doujinshit, at least that'll have SOMETHING interesting

yeah i agree i did not see that coming

ikr,
made me change my opinion about the best girl ^-^

Most people dropped it after the first episode.

hmm, I really wonder what's going to happen in future,
heard some good things about the visual novel and the plot is not that bad, i guess

some people never even picked it up

I have my backlog in a word document since it's easier to update than MAL so I can't share many:

That's.. uhh.. quite the backlog..

Ahh yes, Jake's infamous list.

Your list doesn't even allow "All" anymore, wow

myanimelist.net/animelist/BoydDaMilkman&status=6&order=0

Index is pretty good, especially once you meet Accelerator, who's really badass. Kamijou doesn't really have a lot of shining moments, but he's overall pretty cool. I'd give it a watch.

I really liked Sakurasou, but most people think the drama is a bit over the top. I'd say you should watch it if you like romantic comedies and drama, and you shouldn't watch if you like things to always go the Main cast's way.

I'm never watching Sakurasou I'm just too lazy to remove it, and I'll watch Index maybe in 6 years. Too many higher priority things.

You aren't really missing out on much when it comes to Sakurasou. You'd really only like it if you like the genre's a lot.
And you can determine whether or not you'll enjoy Index through the first 3 episodes. If you don't like it at that point, you might as well drop it.

myanimelist.net/animelist/Watashii&status=6&order=0

I read the first volume of the Densetsu no Yuusha LN, and it was interesting enough, the MC was pretty capable and didn't really have any negative traits except laziness, and as far as I remember there were no stereotypical archetypes.

Ookami to Koushinryou is incredibly forgettable and wasn't anything special, only worth watching if you literally have nothing better to do.

Persona 4: The Animation had some pretty hilarious moments, if you liked the game you'll like the anime.

watch trigun

Nah.

i think this is like the third time ive told you to. whats gonna change....

Watch Lain

Sure.

Great success.

Wait, really?

Of course not.

Time for plan B then.

I just realized that since your MAL uses my files I can change it to whatever you want.

Just you wait, I'll make Lain the only option.

whatever I want*

Okay I'll watch it I'm sorry

Like I haven't heard that before.

Every anime is going to have SELs picture and clicking them will redirect you to SEL.

I'm kinda of worried doing this might crash your MAL since it's my old Opendrive links instead of my new Dropbox ones.

I'm always too lazy to change it since I'm afraid of breaking it.

If you just copy mine and change to your header it should be the same.

And then it would be easy for me to edit yours.

Your fate will be in my hands.

I've only seen guilty crown on your list. It was okay till a weak ass ending. this picture is quite apt for it
