The Oreimo game isn't that bad from what my friend's played of it and it did OK during the week of release about 88.something K as per media create. It's more of a cross between visual novel and dating sim type of mechanics though is what I hear so in that way it'll be different from the anime.

 

However the preorder bonuses were a bit much someone said. Dengeki had a decent prerelease report --> http://news.dengeki....000/338/338635/

 

 

It's one game I'm wondering if I should import same as the new Haruhi game which continues the story after the disappearance (not a major fan of the series, my wife was at some point but I'd like to see how it ends up) which releases this month iirc.

In general, I can't really stand anime or manga. The tropes and cliches that pervade every moment of every single one tire me, I was tired of them years ago.

 

There are still, however, some classic's I'll never tire of. Which is quite a huge contrast, but hey.

 

Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis (a bit), Studio Ghibli films (save Earthsea), Full Metal Alchemist. Maybe a couple of others, including manga, I can't recall.

I finally got started with Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. Like what I'm seeing so far. It got a nice attitude and style. Its not your moe moe animu.

Also, just now I spoiled Bleach for myself. All I am thinking right now is... when will Ichigo fight God next?

The art style of Panty and Stocking did the opposite for me. And I sort of felt like it was trying too hard.

 

I'm currently watching:

 

The World God Only Knows

Shinryaku! Ika Musume

Puella Madoka Magica

Edit: Forgot to add Hanasaku Iroha to the list.

 

I believe the last series I finished was OreImo. Absolutely loved that one. I tend to flitter about between anime.

The only anime I've ever watched is Pokemon. My wife was a big Inuyasha fan back when she was younger, so we've been watching those on Netflix now and they're pretty entertaining.

I swear, InuYasha was like a pre-Twilight in my experience. Girls you would never think had an interest in anime, well, they liked InuYasha. I bet what probably helped was that Kagome had power over Inuyasha whenever he acted up, "Sit, boy!"

 

Still, it actually was entertaining. I contribute that to the demons, and (personally) Miroku. Dude was a bona fide ass-man.

Funny that you say that; we watched the first 10 episodes over the weekend and came to the conclusion that Stephanie Meyer "heavily borrowed" from the show for Twilight.

Let's hope it turns out better than Persona -Trinity Soul-.

 

 

Oh man! Don't remind me! What a boring show. I was all like "Awesome! Persona anime!" then it arrived and it was rubbish...but it wasn't clear that it was rubbish and I kept watching but it didn't change. Such a shame.

 

I'm hoping it'll be better because it's literally an adaption and not a prequel/sequel/side story/whatever.

Deadman Wonderland anime starts in like a week. I read the manga a couple of years ago and it was great, never got around to finishing it though. It's definitely worth checking out the first eipsode of it when it arrives.

The manga was great but yeah, never finished it but I did like what I saw. I might give this series a spin. Like OMG... I'm watching a currently airing anime again...

My girlfriend's totally into Bleach now, I haven't told her the Bount arc isn't part of the original storyline but she seems to be really enjoying it. In fact I think she likes the faster pace of these episodes. Her favourite character was Chad but now its switched to Renji, who is pretty funny in the Bount arc. She likes Ichigo but calls him a nuisance as well :P

The Bount arc is watchable (though I have no desire to own it on DVD). The later filler, and one-off fillers complete kill the pacing of the series though, which even in canon parts is slow. I found watching it as new releases came out that it would get to a good part... and then go in filler arcs. Most annoying thing ever. I'd rather have just had seasonal breaks. I haven't watched it since the end of the last arc now though.

End of the last arc as in the one that just finished? A new filler arc is starting this week.

 

Oh and if I didn't mention it already, Gintama is back with a fifth season. If you haven't seen the series before, I highly, highly, highly recommend checking it out. The entire series (202 episodes) is available for streaming free on Crunchyroll.

Gintama is like the best [comedy] anime ever and if you don't like it you suck. FACT.

 

I concur.

 

So I just finished reading volume 27 of the Berserk manga (finally! It only took me like 2 years to get around to it!) and just as I went searching for the rest of the volumes released so far, I come across great news that I completely missed out on at the end of last year. The Berserk anime is coming back and it'll be back this year, beginning with a feature-length theatrical release (which I assume will probably cover the same ground the original anime covered) and continue with a series with the intention of continuing through until the end. I can only hope the show isn't toned down or censored (At least too heavily) as the gore, brutality and graphic imagery is part of the story.

 

ANN News Release

 

Now, back to pilfering the manga. :)
