Mal Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 (edited) Sora no Woto... I'm currently half way through and it sure skirts the edge of being serious and being K-on with cute girl girls doing cute things. Linked is not SnW by the way, I'm not sure what it is. I think after episode 7.5... comes sadness? Madoka 3rd movie stuff. For those who want to jump in, I suggest the series instead. Now, click if you don't care or if you dare. If true, I can see it but I don't recall Sayaka's witch form looking like her. Charlotte is, though, unique in that she is the only witch that is clearly drawn out. So I suppose it makes sense and she is the new meguca though she was a meguca? Also, Mami is best meguca. She fought tirelessly in dark of her true purpose. --- Sora no Woto is done. It was decent and cute. At times I wish it kind of showed more of the darker side of human nature considering the world that the girls live in. The world can be comparable to age after the fall of Rome, in which the "golden" age is referred to the former-era. Tons of advancements were lost and the world had many unknowns out in the wilderness. So imagine if our technology advanced 100 years and suddenly got blown back to early 1900's. Our tech would seem so far out. The surviving people can mimic our relics but to have anything comparable to them is a dream. The world seems to be ending by all accounts. The fire of war is ever present while the no-man lands reach ever farther. So nigga, can we just stop this silly fighting? Sora no Woto was pretty much preaching to me, the choir (I'm kind of like a pacifist) but I liked it. I would recommend it for a nice easy watch. It is a bit fan service-y but it isn't that bad. With that all said... Season 2 when? This world can be expanded on so much. Edited September 7, 2013 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Started Strike Witches, Magic Knight Rayearth and watched A Letter to Momo. A Letter to Momo... I had it on file so I watched it since I got it sometime in the past for whatever reason. It was nicely animated and sweet story but it was kind of dull. A nice relaxation film I suppose. Magic Knight Rayearth... all these tropes man. I wonder if I can take it. Also these girls does not look like 14. I can watch Sailor Moon but this... I dunno but it is Sailor Moon meets Escaflowne. Onwards to mahou shoujo mecha battles! Strike Witches... where the fuck are their pants? The fanservice is strong in this one. The panties shots are not just flashes but in your face. This might be too ecchi for my tastes but I love the premise of mecha musume. If only this show handled the fanservice like Sora no Woto and Girls und Panzer... ie cute but not eechi or overtly so. Note, this is also a mahou shoujo show! Who doesn't like mahou shoujos are sinners who deserve to be eaten by zombies. Magical zombies. Mahou shoujo zombies. This manga is too ridiculous.

Waldorf and Statler Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Trying to watch Madoka but it isn't doing it for me so far. I dunno. Even if it's the Fate Zero director and the animation is fantastic it's not doing it for me. About to start episode 4. And it's not necessarily that the writing is bad, I just have never been interested in all-female shows, especially magic girls. This could be dark and broody but the fact the cast is all females just makes me not so interested. Not to say I'm sexist, it's just that certain tropes and relationships are never explored when it's all just one cast. The dialogue and situations are also clashing with what I expect in a battle anime. edit: i take it back it just got better Edited October 6, 2013 by Waldorf And Statler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Ah yes, Oro Buchi kicking in. --- I just started Kill la Kill, Trigger's new anime. So far, its not bad. I just think the first episode could of been done just a bit differently since its going for the badass sort of thing. Storywise, I think I can see where it is going. Might be a bad thing but for this genre, I really don't care. It get brownie points for proving me wrong. Also: Uniform rape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Mami is still best... ;_; --- I'm telling you all, SnK is a biomecha anime. Grim dark met the lovechild of Power Rangers and Escaflowne. When seen in that light, it becomes quite fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) Just finished it. Never thought I'd see a show about friendship that would make me shed as many tears as if it had been a man and a woman. So the third movie is a continuation right? edit: Just realized. I have officially watched every anime by Urobutcher. That kind of makes me sad. When I was watching Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet I had no idea it was his. I should have guessed once the show went from happy go lucky to FUCKING LOOK AT ALL THIS MIST KILL EVERYTHING SHIT EVIL RELIGION MURDER MURDER. I love this fucker with all my heart. new movie from him. http://myanimelist.net/anime/13391/Rakuen_Tsuihou:_Expelled_From_Paradise There's WAY too much talent. From director of old FMA and Gundam 00, to Rie voicing the main female, Toei animation and N+ as well. I can't wait but it was only recently announced so it probably won't come out till like mid 2014 so late 2014 for subs... FFFFFFFFFFFFFF Edited October 6, 2013 by Waldorf And Statler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Indeed. The third movie is a continuation. Shit is going to go down. For more Orobutcher. I suppose you can play Saya no Uta until the third movie comes out and get translated (End of this year?)... NSFW though. As for the new movie... I sense some Muv-Luv (First game is a dating sim and then... the second game...) thing is going to go down. For completely 3DCG, it looks decent but I'll need a longer shot to determine.

Waldorf and Statler Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 What's up with Muv Luv? I watched Muv Luv alternative and it was a sci-fi mecha harem. What should I expect of the visual novels? You can be somewhat spoilery in terms of darkness and shit I don't care chances are I won't play them.

Though in this world we have an Empress of Mankind. I wouldn't really know though since I never played the games. I would but they are long. If you are interested in playing...

Waldorf and Statler Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I don't have the time to spend 50-100 hours in a VN with low sexual content that's gonna end in tragedy. At least FSN had a secret ending where shit ended better. Is that video from Kill La Kill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Not sure if anyone here cares as much as I do, but Psycho-Pass is getting a second season and a movie. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-09-06/psycho-pass-anime-gets-new-film-along-with-2nd-season I have a feeling the movie will be a retelling of the first season. But a second season will fail if you don't bring back pwwwwwwotagonist. And I don't mean Akane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Yup, Kill la Kill. So far, its not bad. Potential is there. Again, the storyline seems to be all laid out because honestly... how many tropes can you see before you can more or less guess? Doesn't mean it is not fun to watch. President is just a half fry. She is pretty much a Lord Genome. Her mom is the Anti-Spiral. Or perhaps the teacher is going be a backstabbing cunt. Those are the two possibilities more or less for a halftime antagonist change since this seem to be moving quite fast.Also notice how Ryuko can beat the one stars with an uniform. People are calling bullshit on this but the reasoning behind this might be because of the scissor or... look at her eyes. She might be naturally a two star. The reason she got beat by the boxer dude was she just didn't know how to use anything. Really, the only fault it has is being compared to TTGL... which has a great first episode. Not to mention a rocking first ending theme. TTGL was a ride from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Gurren Lagann will always live on in our hearts simply thanks to one phrase. ROW. ROW. FIGHT THE POWER. also this is still one of my favorite videos about GL. There are picture spoilers so if you're planning on watching it, don't watch this video. But it shows fan reactions perfectly.

Waldorf and Statler Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I love how the fanbase thinks that everybody is a Titan. How many times have I read "Mikasa is obviously a Titan" Obviously how? If it were me writing this, the reason I'd make another main character so much more OP at 3d gear battles is because that's her/his schtick: being better at this than the other main character. Make her into a Titan and all of a sudden you make Eren even MORE useless as a protagonist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 With what we have seen from the current Titans, I get the feeling that when we eventually do learn just what the hell their motivation is, the author is going to try to make us sympathize with them or acknowledge that they have a good reason for doing what they're doing. That's gonna be one hell of a tall order, seeing that he'll be asking us to sympathize with GENOCIDE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldorf and Statler Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have a feeling it's going to end up being one of those "for the greater good" stories. Sure many humans have been sacrificed but it's because there's a race of ultra space spiral titans that are coming to destroy everything. Also the titans never killed the humans. Just disassembled them in their tummies so when the mega baddies are gone they can assemble them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Well, I found this speculation that isn't bad. Got some holes but overall it is quite fun. BRA is Bert, Rainer and Annie. MT is Monkey Trouble. The problem with this is what MT said in the few times we've seen him speak. It mainly centers on his surprise on that the humans know about the weakspot at the nape of the neck. MT is without a doubt an anomaly. In addition, Historia and the whole upperclass of the city may have the blood of shifters in them. At the very least the royal family has it. It goes a long way in explaining how all the colossal titans got lined up in three HUGE circles and got told to harden. I doubt the bloodline has been lost. We'll see. The group really have no choice to head back to the capital to report and defend the city. The basement got to wait but in the mean time... the royal family...

Waldorf and Statler Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 I wouldn't mind if that ended up happening but it makes the motives of the bad titans all the more petty if they were willing to sacrifice all these people and friends for such a sake.

Mal Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 They really don't have much to stand on. Isayama pretty much wrote himself into a wall with them. At this point, surprise me with anything with them, kind of like with King Titan. AKA Eren. This chart is kind of fun to keep track of. For a little while people were betting Mom Eater would be Armin... which is odd. The world could really use some more reveals. Too many mysteries around.
