The Anime Chat Thread (Nerd Warning)

[UlrichFennec]

"Nichijou" I have not watched yet. It is not really the type of anime I watch though. But I might give it a chance one day. If there is nothing else I have to watch at the time.

As for the rest of what you posted, I had to look it up. And you are entitled to watch what ever you want but that is not really relevant to this thread.

I thought Boku was gonna be some cutesy slice of life stuff when a friend recommended it, but boy was I wrong. Scarred, lol.

Back on topic, I'd really recommend Nichijou for anyone who loves slice of life stories with absurd humor. The characters are extremely likeable, funny and it's a little more down to earth than similar animes I've watched. As much as I like manga/animes with shittons of action and convoluted plots, it's a nice refresher.

What's the consensus here on Samurai Champloo?

"Samurai Champloo" was good. It had good characters and story. I enjoyed the art and music.

"Nichijou" I have not watched yet. It is not really the type of anime I watch though. But I might give it a chance one day. If there is nothing else I have to watch at the time.

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*

I don't think anything beats gurren lagann
If you think it's not the best re-watch it on netflix.

"Gurren Lagann" is really good.

Baki The Grappler....
The best eva!

"Grappler Baki" is good but I don't know about the best ever.

just finished the first season of Sword Art Online gotta say pretty impressed, you gotta be into MMOs or online gaming to really make it have the full effect i think though. its not dubbed yet on hulu but was still pretty great.

I really like the "Sword Art Online" series. I thought the second season was really good too. But I think I might like "Log Horizon" a little better. Something to check out is you like "Sword Art Online".

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

Anybody here start on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders? I love it!

I could never get into JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I don't like the art and all the characters look the same to me.

Finished cowboy bebop and liked it, but the ending felt a bit abrupt.
Now working my way through fullmetal brotherhood. First impressions: It seems to have more cutesy anime tropes and a different tone to the original, but I hear the overall story is a bit better since it follows the manga.

Also watching "Gargantia on the verderous planet" because it has a cool premise. I like the art style and the story is pretty good, but there's a lot of fanservice and other stuff that I can tell are aimed squarely at pleasing otakus. It just makes me kind of roll my eyes from time to time. Not too bad though.

I liked "Cowboy Bebop" when it first came out. But there are so many other anime I like better.

"Full Meal Alchemist, Brotherhood" was definitely the better of the two "Full Metal Alchemist" anime, in my opinion. I thought the ending was really good.

I liked "Suisei no Gargantia", it had a good plot and I didn't think it had too much fan service. I think I talked about it at some point in this thread.

Now I'm going to start cowboy bebop and fullmetal alchemist. Gotta hit the essentials.

Im just a mainstream type of anime person but Fullmetal was fantastic. Definitely liked the Brotherhood version better.

I liked "Tatami galaxy". It has a unique plot.
