I should be asleep getting some rest for work tomorrow, but I've been waiting for the Bleach and Naruto manga release. Absolutely worth the wait!

Naruto: Team 7 is reunited, of sorts. Naruto finally finds Sasuke, in time to save Sakura from getting killed. Kakashi is there too, but the really interesting cliffhanger is what will Naruto do to stop Sasuke? :twitch:

Bleach: We finally find out what Wonderweiss is all about. After Aizen pretty much beats all the remaining captains, Genryuusai finally steps in. But as he launches one heck of a display to finish Aizen, Wonderweiss appears. Turns out he was created with the sole purpose of defeating Genryuusai's Bankai. :eek:

The anime is dead! Long live their manga! :laugh:

From that list i am looking forward to the Iron-Man lols,Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan and Kaichou wa Maid-sama.

Also i have just finished Gundam X the ending was a bit rushed and disappointed but overall great series that could of last longer.

I think MKmod mentioned about "Now and Then, Here and There" before, and I got it like a month ago, couldn't watch it until today. It's probably one of the best mood changing anime imo.

I wanted to watch something funny at first, but after I watched the 1st ep, it totally changed my mood into something else, and I'm no longer want to watch funny stuffs. :laugh:

MKmods · Feb 25, 2010

Dj told me about it before, it seriously made me sad for several months...It was a great story but I dont ever want to see another like it again.

TheLaughingMan · Feb 26, 2010

See, I got a whole different vibe from Now and Then that I will not discuss because it may upset several people here.

An anime called True Tears is something that made me sad for several days. Everyone knows about the emotion drain Grave of the Fire Flies can caused (an others like it). But if you want to be depressed by an anime, True Tears will do it for you.

MKmods · Feb 26, 2010

I have all the Ghibli stuff (but havent seen fireflys yet) I did see True tears but it didnt affect me like you.
The war story Now and then

raping of the poor girl and hopelessness of it totally messed me up.

Different strokes for different folks. The characters in that show just made me want to hurt them. They were all so stupid and foolish and down right annoying at times.

And while the systematic raping of the women they kidnapped was messed up, I just couldn't feel bad for long.

They reminded me "hey, this is the protagonist" and I just get mad again for him being so damned annoying and unlikeable.

True Tears to me kinda when, "Real life is depressing and sucks and no one loves you. Too bad so sad." Then just rubbed it in over and over again. Even the ending was kinda weird to me because while some people got what they wanted (I will not ruin it), others were just kinda left without real closure. They just kinda get a "tough luck, life goes on." Granted that is very realistic and all, but I was apparently not emotional ready for it to end like that.

Well I detailed a better explanation, I hope I didn't give away too much. If I did, I will go back and spoiler warning it.

MKmods · Feb 26, 2010

LOL, well I just saw Bleach 259 and it was the straw that broke the camels back for me...It was just to plain stupid..

Im not watching any more..Thank god for Ladies VS Butlers ...

Wile E · Feb 26, 2010

For emotional anime, kimi ga nozomu eien (Rumbling Hearts) was pretty saddening for me.

Believe it or not, I still haven't seen all of Now and Then to this day. I always seem to get sidetracked when watching it.

entropy13 · Feb 26, 2010

Indeed, Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien has a saddening story...

re-watching fate/stay night in blu ray.

Will have to check that out when I am in the mood for something emotionally heavy.

Loved True tears, while i think it was a good ending, i really feel sad for the remaining ppl specially Noe:
BIG

While she had everything she desired at some point, by the end she was left all alone, even her brother left her, he loved his own sister as a women and so he had no choice but leave her

And here's something i wrote back when it aired:
Even Bigger

How can we not empathize and feel sad for the boy whose girlfriend never loved him, instead always loved his best friend and, she broke with him but he did not want to let go the love of his life, until the day came they both realized they had to move on, but will it be the end for them??

How can we not be sad for the girl that always loved her childhood friend, she secretly loved him for ever, but her love made her be with a guy she did not wish to be with, until the day she could not keep all the burden for herself and opened to the one she desired for eternity, but to him, she was but a childhood friend, a close person that he could not love and so the two could not be together...

Ho w can we not be sad for the young girl that found what love is, that found someone to love, someone that would restore her long lost tears and one day that love seems so distant that she cant reach it as if nothing but a dream??

How can we not be sad for the childhood friends, living together, being close to each other, loving each other but so far from each other never being able to get close, instead always further and colder...

How can we not be sad for the boy that cannot let the girl that he does not love and does not love him go because he can not break a promise he made, as long as her sister was loved, he had to be always near the girl, no matter what and submit to any of her wishes, sometimes leading them in the wrong path and causing him to lose something he worked all his life for...

How can we not be sad whit all that is going on in this small town??

You could try watching Kanon and Clannad if you no longer want to watch funny stuff, the good thing is that they are both funny and sad, even depressing in latter Clannad after story ep

KGNE was a great anime, The same recommendation's as above apply for those looking for serious anime...

Here's a review i wrote about KGNE: http://www.animeorb.info/plugins/content/content.php?content.16

I just saw the 1080p version and its definitely worth it...

Last night I saw Sola...kind of like Air but to me quite a bit better. While the ending was bittersweet it was well done and the anime was just great to watch..

(the 2 OVAs were a huge waste of time)

kid41212003 · Feb 28, 2010

You have that figure?

MKmods · Feb 28, 2010

LOL, I could NEVER explain to my family that I owned a doll....(its hard enough keeping them from being pissed every comp case I build)

That figure is supposed to be released in July...

... like in my previous post I wouldn't mind making a life size version, although it too would be quite hard to explain (but worth the trouble) :rockout:

KieX · Feb 28, 2010

Been catching up with Fullmetal Alchemist this weekend, watching episode 40 after I finish this post. Absolutely amazing! Had to throw out all memories of the old series out the window and strap myself down for the experience. So damn good! Anyways, gotta go, the awesome is calling

Cold Storm · Mar 1, 2010

God, I love fate/stay Night.. As much as I love these..

Chrono Crusade
Trinity Blood,
Hellsing

Don't ask me why I think of those but I think it's...

Blue dress for Saber makes me think of Rosette, Chrono Crusade.

Who Rosetta is, woman of the cloth (well sorta) Makes me think of Sister Ester Blanchett of Trinity Blood.

Sister Ester due to her being ties with Abel and his form of "Crusnik" makes me think of Vampires which turns to make me think of Hellsing.

As for Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood... My god it's Pure blisss!

I'll be starting on Gundam Unicorn now. It seems I will definitely not be disappointed.
