Anime/Manga - Discuss Japanese cartoons and comics here; NO CULTURE WAR DOOMPOSTING!

Currently laughing my ass off at how it's possible to make an anime about something as mundane as Beyblade. Either that, or it's because I'm listening to Motley Crue while watching a bunch of little anime boys freaking out over a bunch of spinning tops hitting each other with the TV on mute.

Oh my gosh, you watch that out of masochism too?

I don't understand how those spinning tops can even do those "special moves". Physics? What's that?

Nah, I don't really watch it at all. It comes on every morning, and I leave the TV on before bed to help me sleep and wake up on time. But yeah, it just looks so boring, I don't get how you could make an entire story out of it.

Shinsekai Yori ended. It actually had a really good ending, which is nice because to this day I'm still not sure if I like Psycho-Pass's ending, so it was nice to have at least one ending that was definitely good.

Having said that, Shinsekai Yori's ending wasn't what I expected it to be. I can't explain how without spoiling. All in all, a really good show.

Those tops are possessed by spirit dragons and such.

I'm on season three of Slayers; its like a more streamlined Dragonball with a focus on sword and sorcery rather than martial arts. Berserk is still top-tier manga; its the only one that's managed to hold my attention. I'm on Volume 15, I think. Its the one where the Band of the Hawk start getting wiped out.

Volume 12/13 *has read the series (thus far) a bazillion times*

Fate Zero is where it's all at. It makes Death Note look like a coloring book. Do note that you'd probably want to take some BLOODY HISTORY LESSONS before getting into it. Since some of the characters are from history and legends.

Check out the review for it.

I'm a Fate series savant and I approve your statement.

 

[DiscipleOfTheLie]

I just got finished watching "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time", "5 Centimeters Per Second", and "The Place Promised in Our Early Days". Damn... I'm depressed now.

Wasn't that written by Urobuchi? the same guy who did Psycho-Pass and Madoka? I love that guy's work. I've been wanting to check out Fate/Zero.

Try getting into the Kara No Kyoukai series. It's interesting in a more "unique" way than Fate. Then there's Tsukihime. The Near Side Routes are kinda... bland with all the bad writing of smut. Though it shows more of the Nasuverse besides Magi and Servants. But the Far side routes (Kohaku and Hisui), makes Mirai Nikki look like a Children's Novel from my opinion (and from what I remember). At least Hisui's route.

Yeah, Urobuchi wrote it. And Nasu accepted what's in Zero as canon since a lot of it fits with what is established.

As if all the guns Kiritsugu uses isn't obvious enough.

I can't wait for Fate H/A and Mahou Tsukai to be translated.

"5 Centimeters Per Second".

That's the only anime I've watched in which I stood silently and just smiled for a few seconds, kinda like the main character. I identified completely with him, and understood everything so perfectly. It was a precious moment.
I still watch the ending from time to time.

ALso, everyone, and I mean, everyone, should read oyasumi punpun.
It's one of the best things I've ever read.

I've seen a few anime series (read no manga) but this is the only one I still get really enthusiastic about.

I saw 10 episodes, thought it was amazing, but never got a chance to finish it. :/

I spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday watching the entirety of Blood+ on Netflix. I've seen the whole series before, I just decided to see it again
