The Anime Chat Thread (Nerd Warning)

I just thought of another one. "Texhnolyze", this is not one of my top pics but it fits all of your criteria. I have mixed feelings about this one. Some of it is awesome and some of it is WTF. It is a slow start, picks up the pace and gets good, then all kinds of crazy shit happens.

Episode 1 was the dumbest shit I've ever seen. I barely made it through it, I don't even know if I want to watch the rest of them.

So I found this picture on the internet that does a good representation of "Technolyze".

As you can see it is kind of slow but gets better by episode 4.

And it gets better and better up until episode 8 where it is awesome.

It stays awesome up until episode 13.

From episode 13 to 17 shit gets weird.

After episode 17 goes from weird to WTF.

It has moments from there on out but shit is weird. This anime is by no means predictable. And I am glad I saw it. I thought it was good but like I said it is not one of my top pics.

But if you don't mind deviating a little bit from your criteria. There is an anime called "BPS, Battle Programmer Shirase". It is about this guy that is the best hacker in the world, but it is a comedy. And the episodes are only 10-15mins long.

Kinda sounds like "Space Dandy", which I fucking LOVED.

Guys, I need your suggestions. I'm looking for some new anime to get into, I'm HEAVILY into the post-apocalyptic/dystopian stuff, heavy with the technology/cyberpunk/computer type of stuff. My favorites are Ghost in the Shell, Akira, etc. HIT ME.

The only one I can think of at the moment that fits those specifications would be "Kurozuka". It is more post-apocalyptic than it is cyberpunk.

If I can think of anything else I will let you know.

Got caught up with Akame Ga Kill...yeah...it's a bit painful to watch now...Up until episode 18, it was all smooth and chill. After that it's like vtech kicked in with 35psi of boost, people dropping left and right. With each member of night raid dying off, the show lost a part of itself and its come to the point where it feels empty even Wave-kun said it himself LOL. I haven't read the manga but they better find an imperial arm that resurrects fallen members. Otherwise a second season is no where in sight, but I wasn't expecting a second season anyways.
Also Tatsumi is probably the most useless character right now. I mean he hasn't even taken out anyone important I feel like I'm watching "Strike the Blood" all over again.

I just finished toradora and omg my heart.....like really.....dont play with my emotions like that. It waa good and eventho you know what how it's going to end it was really good.

[E30_Pare]

Yea they rushed the ending was the only disappointing part. Easily could of been a season 2.

Dude just finished Beck. Great anime. Covered pretty much everything I like and more. Slice of life, comedy, that awkward teenage romance lol. I hear the eng dub has better vocals. Gunna check that out

Glad you liked "Beck". It follows the manga perfectly. And the anime only goes up to I think volume 4. There are a total of 34 volumes, so if you are interested in knowing the full story, it is awesome. There is also a live action movie that was done pretty well.

"Detroit Metal City" is another music anime but it is straight comedy.

I just finished watching "Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai" an abbreviated name is "Anohana". It really pulls at your emotions through the whole series but the last episode is Kao Ken times 10,000. I had tears in my eyes, there were a couple of times I thought I was going to ball. I kept telling my self "this is stupid, this is just an anime, what is wrong with you?" It didn't work. I pulled through without tears falling. Either I am getting more emotional as I get older, or I am still emotional from the family I lost earlier this year. Any way, it is a good anime. I highly recommend it. Check it out for yourself but be prepared for the last episode, the emotions hit me by surprise.

Most anime (90%) are based off of manga and/or light novels. Very few anime follow the original manga/light novel for it's entirety. This is to promote you to read the manga or light novel. I am still waiting for the entirety of "Spice and Wolf" the light novel series to be translated so I can read all of it. Because I don't see there be another series considering how long it has been since the second season of the anime.

What is the worst ending anime in your opinion? This question goes out to all who read it. A thread within a thread.

Whenever you find a good anime, finish it and then find out it ran out of source material or isn't getting renewed :curse:
It's all sales if it's not selling its not getting renewed which sucks cause since the eastern side gets it first hand and it doesn't fly well with them and us on the western side get it long after its ended and we dig it, can't do much about it since there's only a handful of us.

Deadman Wonderland was the worst for me

Astarotte no Omocha's ending was so wrong on so many levels. The whole show was wrong man that's last time I go look up an anime from tumblr.

akame ga kill is a pain to watch. Your favorite character dies every episode now...

Hey, as long as Akame and Leone aren't killed I'm down lol
Some of the death flags are just too obvious.

I agree that "Deadman Wonderland" anime ended with a lot open but there are anime out there that end way worse. I remember when I bought "Berserk" around 15 years ago. I was watching the last episode. And I was saying to myself "How are they going to wrap this up"?, "This ending is going to be rushed". Then it ended, I was dumb founded, I thought I was missing an episode or something, I found out that was truly the end, I raged, "WHAT THE F&%$", "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" . Eventually I regained my sanity and learned of the wonderful world of scanlations and mangatraders.com. And the story continued. I caught up to the series and now I only get one chapter every six months. "Berserk" one of the worst ending of anime ever in my opinion.
