Mister Jack Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Mal, I have to ask. What is your avatar from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 W&S, I'm not entirely sure. I think it is a webcomic from someone in Japan. They get translated as they come by the folks on 4chan. I think there is something else with Sasha (Potato Girl AKA Best Girl) and Connie. Might be Bert though. The amount of shipping in this series is intense. Honestly, I think something is going to happen with Mikasa. It is just too convenient that Mikasa is going to end up with Eren. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y1jBJwFKew MJ, she is Agiri from Kill Me Baby. She makes the decent show much better.

Mal Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1311401276/little-witch-academia-2 My hear strings are all pulled. TRIGGER heard of Kickstarter from "fans oversea"... which mean folks like you and me (Unless some of you guys are in Japan). With the funding they go so far, it got to have turned some heads. For a small studio, the amount they got is quite a bit. Maybe, just maybe, we'll see some interesting stuff happen... also I'm not as afraid of animation kickstarters as I do for video game ones. I feel that you can much better measure out how much time you need. Sure delays can happen but the ones that can appear here seems more manageable. Anyways... I need mai credit card.

Waldorf and Statler Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 My friends and I watched 21 out of 25 episodes of Fate Zero and will watch the rest by ourselves since we each have something to do during the week and really want to finish it asap. I'm 4 episodes shy of reviewing this but I definitely have to say this: this is easily one of my top 5 anime shows now. I mean CB will always be on top, but this may have pushed Samurai Champloo down a rating. There is only one negative aspect: at some point during late first season/early last season there are episoded dedicated entirely to conversations between Archer and a Master and Rider and his Master. These conversations bore my friends and I to death. They also weren't fans of an episode dedicated entirely to Rin and her little kid adventures, but that was only one episode then you barely see her if at all. The 2 flashback episodes showing how the main character turned into an asshole are fucking awesome. Like I said I'm 4 episodes away, but if I had ever seen an anime that could be as gripping as Game of Thrones it would have to be this.

Waldorf and Statler Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Yep. Just finished Fate Zero and cried like a god damn little bitch. Kiritsugu, fuck you stop bringing out the feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Look at my avatar's face. That is my reaction to your feelings towards Fate Zero. Stop making me regret not getting into the Fate universe all those years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) I feel bad for my friends. They'll finish this and I've warned them that Fate Stay Night is the ugly cousin of fate zero Here we have Fate Zero with its international appeal. Fucking kings, conquerors, assassins and professional hitmen. And what's Fate Stay Night? A dark harem starring high school children with super japanese characters Edited July 30, 2013 by Waldorf And Statler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 That is the thing, I don't feel like going through that to get to the good stuff like UBW and Fate Zero. If I gave it a chance five-six years ago, it might have clicked but now? Hardly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) I could give you a run-down of what you need to know of the holy grail war for Fate Zero. I did the same with my friends. Edited July 30, 2013 by Waldorf And Statler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 It wouldn't be the same. I think I'll wait for the remake of Fate Stay Night which so happens to be made by the same studio as Fate Zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Eh, Fate Stay Night wasn't so bad. I've seen much worse (that was praised). For some reason Umineko no Naku Koro ni comes to mind. Probably because I can't rinse my brain of its awfulness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Well if by remake you mean it follows Heavens Feel then yeah, I'm waiting for it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waldorf and Statler Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've watched anime involving giant space flying robots being piloted to what amounts as a pair of tits, and this anime focusing on little girls in tanks is still the most ridiculous sounding to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 *tiredwhines* The only real problem I saw that the anime had was the plot armor. Other than that it was all cute girls doing tanky things. Sure, some of the tanky things were not realistic AT ALL but this is a world where racing tanks is a world wide vehicular sport which just so happen to evolve a "death"match offshoot where shooting each other is the main goal. Hell, the racing also can involve shooting each other... sounds like Mario Kart. So yeah, screw realism. And yes, what I just said is canon. Now I should stop talking about Girls und Panzer before I get sucked back into everything tank and maybe girls who do tanky things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Don't take it personally I just tend to hate the "all girl cast" anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) You're not my animu bro anymore. Your opinion on the matter is invalid. (Not really since most anime now has to intrigue me enough to get me to watch them*) Now talking about a (near) "all girl cast" anime.. I'm still waiting on Sailor Moon to come out. Rozen Maiden cannot come out fast enough so maybe I should jump into the manga. *Also Fall guild is out: This is kind of shitty though I suppose I can give Log Horizon, pupa and Neppu a shot. Oh wait, a Trigger anime, Kill la Kill. I hope there are some sleepers in here though. Edit: WAIT. Captain GARLOCK motherfucker. Also new ARISE. This is gonna be good.

Mister Jack Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Blazblue is getting an anime? And Persona is this fall? Ehehehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I can get behind Blazblue. Give it a kickass OST and decent fight scenes and you got yourself an enjoyable anime. Its a good IP, I feel though I never played the games since I don't like fighting games. I never got into Persona due to lacking a PSP and shit. Or I could of been blind?

Waldorf and Statler Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) From the Fall 2013 line-up I can safely say that there are a few anime I'll probably end up watching, all-be it as B-side shows.Aka shows I'm not excited about but will give a chance as a guilty pleasure because they'll most likely have cheesy romance. Stand-out things I definitely want to check out though: Pupa [interesting idea and might be decently animated] Samurai Flamenco [guy that did Baccano] and Saint Young Men [i'm Jesus in Kotaku and constantly get linked to that lol]. P3 is a given. Harlock I'll watch if it forgives me for not being familiar with the show at all since the show is too old [let's face it] Other movies in there look good but nothing I can get excited about without more info. And we'll probably end up getting them 2014 in the west. Infinite Stratos 2 will be the guiltiest pleasure out of all of those since that one is a straight up harem, though the princess one and the vampire one sound like harems too. edit: Also Mal you don't mean that, we are so animu bros. Bros don't have to like everything the other likes. And with that SNK avatar I know we are cool. Also if you see anymore of the chibi strips post them here plox Edited July 31, 2013 by Waldorf And Statler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Nothing really stands out to me. Maybe Pupa. Maybe Samurai Flamenco. Maybe Outbreak Company. Maybe Kaguya-hime no Monogatari. Maybe Sakasama no Patema. Probably one of them. Probably will just wait until something stands out while the season is airing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 About Kill la Kill... Gurren vibe. This might be good... I remember when TTGL first came out. It was a slap in the face and it kept getting better. When I read the brief overview I was expecting a more normal high school but now, color me interested. This is going to be some Rival School turned to the max. Yes, the hot blooded anime is checked off for the year. pupa I'm cautious about since its by DEEN. They usually crash and burn near the end. And will do Wally. As they say... ¡Mikasa su casa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 that trailer didn't show me anything besides girls not being moe kawaii, which is a plus. And yeah the only reason I didn't say something completely negative about DEEN is because of Zombie Desu Ka. But let's remember that the studios that are doing Yamato 2199 were infamous for their low quality stuff before this show, and Yamato 2199 is really high quality. So every studio gets its chance. If anything has ever sounded like a game changer for this one, it's Pupa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Referring back to this post... I am honestly considering dropping a Benny on this. Consider it payment for all the pirating I've done?
