What's the consensus here on Samurai Champloo? I've picked it up after finishing Boku No Pico and Nichijou.

And before anyone asks, yes. I watched Boku No Pico. I was disgusted by it, but if I watch something, I have to watch it to the very end before I have a concrete opinion on it. Definitely not something I would ever recommend to anyone ever, given the subject matter. *Shudders*

You managed to watch all of Boku No Pico? Lmao!

Like I said. Even if I hate it, I have to watch it through to the end to get an informed opinion.

I've actually been watching Gurren Lagann lately and I can't say I disagree with you. It's the tits.

Gurren Lagann Was good until like the last 7 Episodes. Its got so fucking ridiculous . The ending of that serious sucks.

Finished Gurren Lagan and now watching The valkyria chronicles while slowly working my way through Naruto.

I have heard several people tell me Shippuden is where it starts getting good. I got up to the Chunin Exams and afterwards things lost my interest. I should give it a shot again.

Yeah it's a silly show. The pace really takes off during the last phase of the chunin exam. also there's a lot of "filler episodes"(that way the show doesnt catch up to the manga too quickly) I don't mind them too much myself but if you skip them, it moves the story along a bit quicker.

And having watched a couple of shippuden episodes, yes it's a bit more serious i.e. naruto isn't as much of an idiot anymore haha.

Who ever recommends Boku needs to burn in hell.

naruto ended like months ago.

"Naruto Shippuuden" anime is still airing, Guy has recently become the red beast, but it should be over soon. The "Naruto: The Boruto movie" comes out August 8th. I think that will be the official end as everything is pointing to Naruto being killed in the movie protecting his son.

god dammit

god dammit

I feel the same way. I am hoping he survives. Kishimoto said that even though the movie is about Boruto, Naruto is going to steal the show. Hopefully not with his death. I will post on here when I have confirmation.

My favorite anime by far. The tone, writing, art style, music, and characters are all in sync and the product is a wonderful journey. My only complaint is that the final episodes get just a tad bit over the top, but it is tiny compared to the beauty of the work as a whole.

Also I'm fairly new to this and the anime I've watched so far have had very little"fanservice" to them so I guess I haven't been desensitized yet lol. Just finished gargantia today and it was a good series. Would recommend esp if you are into futurology or anything similar. wish they would've developed the love interest more between the two main characters, but beggars can't be choosers.

Also I quite liked sword art online as well. They pace the story very well and draw you in from the very beginning. The whole dynamic with his sister was kind of weird, but I can see that they were kind of exploring how people would react in that kind of world/situation...plus it's japan so there's always bound to be a little weirdness.

Late to the party I know,

But I loved Champloo. As far as the "weird bits" at the end, it states before each of those episodes that the episode is a "Samurai Champloo Period Drama." It was just there as entertainment filler.

Sword Art Online? I liked it, at first. After a while, even before the incest, it just was too preteen, do you love me, girly. For no reason. It's like making a wife when you played Legos as a kid.

I am watching Mushi-Shi at the moment and find it to be quite poignant. Great little vignettes.

[LowR3V'in]

you nailed it.
sword art online is not a real exciting anime.
very digimon type of crap. boring stuff.

So I started watching Soul Eater and DuRaRaRa!! as of late.

Soul Eater is surprisingly good. I was expecting it to be along the lines of One Piece, and I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed One Piece as well, but it started losing my attention in the later episodes.
