[MKmods]

yep. I'm still waiting on my second season of Desert Punk.. Even if it may never come around..



Now, for some strange stuff..

I was listening to Eminem's "beautiful" last night before going to bed.. When talks about hiding behind tears of a clown, makes me think of an anime.. lol


Jing: King of Bandits


I don't know why.. maybe the mask he wears in a episode just sticks out so far... lol..

 

[MKmods]

I just read the reviews of that and it looked like it may be pretty fun.

It was a good anime. it made it to which i would watch it again only for how it was made via fantasy. I don't think some may like it, but I feel this.. If you like DnAngel, you'll like this.

I have seen stuff that was awful to me (but others LOVED it) and stuff I went NUTTS over and Im sure others think Im crazy.

Back in the day we had to buy albums to listen to our favorite groups, they usually had 1 good song and 10 awful ones what a waste that was. Now a days to watch anime dosent cost much (free streaming FTW) so if something is awful so, il find another one.

nothing ventured nothing gained.

 

[Cold Storm]

Very true MK.. I remember when I would have to make sure that the singles that the group put out, would be good enough to want to spend the $20 on the album.. So, I'm with you man.


Anyone here seen "blue seed"?

I saw it when it first came out via us.. God, that was so long ago. But, great anime. I thought at lease.

Makes me think that they looked at that for inuyasha's Character build

Free streaming is killing the anime industry, kinda. It provides a outlet for little known anime, unlicensed works, and at times can generate enough buzz to get stuff licensed; however, most places do not take them down once they are licensed. That is a violation of the license, but no one does anything about it.

I try to pay for my anime when I can. I will free stream to sample a series, but once I am sure I like it, I go buy it.

 

[MKmods]

I do too, I have a membership at Crunchyroll for that reason, the place I DL also pulls stuff that has been licensed.

In the beginning I didnt understand but now I do, but as computers and the internet evolve all the other industry's need to as well.

Another example is TV, I NEVER watch network TV any more as I switched to cable. Now I practically watch no cable either. I actually turned mine off and to get me to turn it back on they lowered my Cable TV bill to $4 a month for expanded cable.

Can't stand the fillers, it's what made me follow the manga instead. Naruto I'm gonna pick up again cos it's out of fillers IIRC. Can someone let me know when Bleach isn't in filler?

I was hoping bleach would be coming out of filler in the last episode but the idiots have decided to extend the current arc even more. I swear i'll be lucky to see the end of this filler in my lifetime the way it is going I'd not watched the last 3 episodes until tonight hoping i would see the end of the filler and the start of the aizen arc, but nooooo they just keep it going.

As for naruto i'm pleased they seem to be moving on with a proper story arc (though i am 2 episodes behind at the moment, will fix that now )

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Human error, you have made an error. You are watching Bleach. The solution to your dire emotional state about fluff is the stop watching Bleach, Naruto, and every other "Zombie anime" out there. They need to know when it is time to take a final bow and say goodbye.

MKmods to answer an earlier question, Black Lagoon is getting a Season 3, possible season 4. It is officially in the works and will continue the story from the end of season 2; however, it is currently on hold because the production studio stated "they have other projects they would like to finish before concentrating on BL: Third Barrage."

OMG I saw Crest of the Stars last night and it totally made me lose track of time (almost impossible for me to do). I didnt move from that spot till I had seen all 13eps(Crest). It went by so fast I was incredibly sad it was over..

Than today while I was searching for who recommended it in the first place I saw the "Banner" in ur post and realized there is a "Banner of the Stars" and even a Banner2 and 3 and im honestly more excited than if I had just hit the lotto.

To watch the characters develop was an amazing experience for me.

Spectacular anime if character study is ur thing.

I figured you would appreciate it. I'm getting a good feel for your preferences now. Very similar to mine, with a slight lean to the lighter side.

Eureka 7 is another favorite of mine, if you haven't seen it. Starts a little slow, so bear with it a little. Gray Phantom (G-P) has the best version out there right now.

E-7 seemed a little trendy for me and the fact that TTGL (Gurren Laggan) made it even more obvious that these series were sacrificing unique story/character development for something more formulaic. The art was good... everything else was mediocre.

 

[Wile E]

E7 was far superior to Gurren. I never even bothered finishing GL. Can't even be compared really, different feel and executions altogether. E7 started out slow in development, but really took off later in the series.

Bleach story is not terrible. The manga has a much better story line now than in the past. But those fillers are killing the anime. But you're right as well they are gonna have to kill it at some point. Manga is finishing up with Aizen arc, so maybe they should go into that King's key mystery, answer all the unknowns like Benihime's Bankai, Ichigo's father's past and then mercifully finish with a deserving good ending.

One can only wish

I won't get into an argument, mainly because I'm too lazy to defend anything I like, but I really enjoyed Gurren Lagann. It took me a while to get into it, but if you get hooked it is a fun-packed fast-paced epic adventure.

But if you think E-7 is better then I'll give it a watch since all your other recommendations tend to be really good ones.

 

[human_error]

Bleach story is not terrible.

Agreed. I like the main bleach arc too, only reason i keep up with the anime, there just sint justification for the filler at the moment - the bunt (sp?) filler arc gave them more than enough buffer time behind the manga (especially with how long the fights take these days).

 

[TheLaughingMan]

E-7 was only good to me until about episode 29ish I think. Then they stated some BS that came out of left field and made no sense what so ever. I will not detail so as not to spoil anything for others.

I truly enjoyed the series up until that point because it was a coming of age story with heart, character, and realism. I know realism is weird to say about an anime with 5 story tall, transforming, air surfing robots, but it is true. The characters do random normal stuff that made the whole thing surreal. They have girlfriends that they hang out with, fight, and makeup like real couples. The use the bathroom, something that is very rare in anime. They go shopping, take days off, change clothes, etc. It was beautifully done......until then threw it all away for that horrible last season of mess.

Gurren Lagann runs on pure adrenaline and badassery. Your are right that you can't compare it to E-7 because it had an identity and stuck with it, unlike E-7 and its mid-series crisis. TTGL is better anime that E-7 because it had character and was willing to stick to being what it was regardless of what any said about it. Love it or hate it, you have got to respect it....cause it will probably hit you in the mouth if you don't.

I no longer argue anything about Zombie anime with its fans because it is a pointless fight. I will say one thing. I never said the story was terrible. Those are your words, not mine. I said the series needs to know when it is time to end it.

But people and situations changing, as such in e7, is also a fact of life, and therefore aids in it's realism, as far as the human condition is concerned. Most of the plot change beyond 29 made perfect sense to me, as they came closer to their goals, and became more focused on them, they changed. This happens to everyone in real life.

TTGL is only good if you want an anime with no real character development, and a very generic plot. Is it terrible? For someone that enjoys the need to think about a plot a little, yes. For someone that just wants action or pure pointless fun, not so much. All flash, no substance, so to speak.

Wile E, have you seen Skullman?

No, not actually. Should I?

Sorry, didn't mean to infer you called it so. I used "not terrible" since it was more appropriate than any direct compliment such as "great" or "awesome".

Was just making my point that it's not so bad as to be killed off just yet. I still think it has some juice left in it if the developers pull their heads together. I agree it has to end in the not too distant future, if only to go out with some dignity and not be rememberd as the series with so much stuffing it asploded.

 

[Wile E]

Bleach left dignity behind 100eps ago.

Haha

(I still hope it recovers it)

bleach took a shit in a hat, put on the hat, had shit dribble all over its face and its been sitting there smiling thinking its funny every since.
