The Anime Chat Thread (Nerd Warning)

[rzerob]

I finished "Another" last night. It was good. The first 3 episodes I was disappointed with but out of nowhere it got better, and then it was hard to stop watching. I skipped over it when it first came out because I didn't think I would like it. And I only gave it another chance after reading someone mentioning it on this thread. It is a kind of a dark mystery. If you like mystery anime but not quite as dark, my favorite would be "Hyouka".

I just finished Sword Art Online and am now starting to watch samurai champloo. I was already a big fan of the music, the show is very artisitc; I like the vibe

[gtdragon980]

Samurai Champloo is what started my anime addiction. The music, story, characters, everything was just perfect.

Also, Tokyo Ghoul is fucking awesome, probably my favorite show right now.

Nothing has caught my eye in a little while. Of course I just spent the past few weeks powering through Avatar TLA and TLOK... No ragrets.

I dunno if it was mentioned cause theres ALOT of pages to read.. but I recently watched "tekkonkinkreet". One of the best anime's I've seen. Definitely recommend it

I think I might have mentioned to watch Another. After things start to make sense you get hooked on it.

Tokyo Ghoul = Amazing
Tokyo Ghoul Root A = Shit

So much disappoint, it's like they blew their budget on the first season and was just like ehh when it came to Root A. Even the intro sucks. It doesn't have the same spirit it as the first season. Literally like 8 episodes in I haven't seen a decent fight, zero meaningful dialogue and the animation just seems shoddy at best. I thought the story was about Kaneki Ken. NOPE this dude is MIA 80% of the time. And when he is on screen this dude is hella edgy, starts yelling or crying and then he's gone.

Really? I'm completely the opposite. Don't get me wrong, the first season was pretty darn good, but I feel like we were only just getting to know Kaneki. Now on season two, it is a whole lot darker and serious. The last few episodes of this season should have plenty of awesome fight scenes. Already saw a good bit on the latest episode.

Just somehow Root A can redeem it self in the second half.
I do like all this development going on and all the back story with the twins, Eto, Akira's Mom, the owl and so on and the seriousness. But the encounters that happened just didn't do it for me. I'm no creator/animator but comparing what I saw in the first season to Root A there's no competition. I feel like they rushed a lot of stuff in Root A especially the fighting sequences. Like TF happened to the dude in the prison that started wrecking Kaneki... Now with the stuff going on with the Owl in the most recent episode they could have made him more badass but nope he's just gonna stand there and shoot shards at everyone. Recently I felt like every episode of Root A ended on the biggest cliff hanger and the next episode just never delivered. Thats how I feel about Root A don't hate it, don't love it either.

Totally know what you mean. I haven't read the manga but I know some fucked up shit must have happened during that part. IDK if they showed it right then and there or touched back on it in the future chapters. Kaneki doesn't get much screen time either which does kind of bug me. I do hope the anime doesn't end without any sort of elaboration on all the gaps in the story. The show has so much potential, especially since it doesn't follow the manga. They could easily add to the story and make it better.

If "Tokyo Ghoul Root A" is the last adaptation of the rest of the "Tokyo Ghoul" manga then be prepared. I haven't watched "Root A" yet, I am waiting for it to finish. But the manga was good and the ending was... hard to put into words. It left me staring at the last page saying "really, that is the end?" There is so much more that they left out, so much more story potential. Thank goodness that a sequel manga came out soon after. I think it is based 5 or 10 years after the original manga.

"Another" has a new novel coming out, so maybe in a year or so after the novel, we will get another season of "Another".

I recently finished Paranoia Agent, and I'm currently getting delved into Soul Eater and Durarara!! as a side anime. Paranoia Agent just gave me the chills and was such a thought provoking story with very interesting characters.

I can't wait for a new season of "Another"

I finished a run through of those a couple weeks back. Never really followed the show before and now so sad that they aren't making new episode :[

I haven't watched any anime in a while. I bought Dragon Age Inquisition and have been kind of hooked on it. I was not feeling well yesterday so I figured I would just watch a few episodes of anime. Well that turned into a marathon. "Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso" is really good, one of the best I have seen in a while. I highly recommend it. Someone mentioned it on here before when it had just started sometime late last year. They said it was good, I agree. The anime is over now, 22 episodes. Great art, music, and story.

[E30_Pare]

yea rob i recommended that one. Just finished last week didn't disappoint. Came here looking for something else to watch.
