The Anime/Manga Thread v2.0

All I've seen posted from this show has been heavy on the PLOT, if you catch my drift.

And the music in it is so fucking awesome. It fits in perfectly.

You might like FMP Fumoffu better. That's more of a humorous series set mostly in school, and Sousuke still has his weapons (hilarity ensues).

Yeah episode one of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt was pretty cool. I think I'll stick with this.

I just started this series... I'm three episodes in and my mind is full of fuck.

Good show.

I read the Manga... it was goddam amazing. If you really dig Monster and are open to the idea of reading manga, I would suggest checking out 20th Century Boys. One of the best stories I've ever read.

The Steins;Gate fans in this thread will probably want to know that the OVA included in the Blu-ray has been subbed, and was pretty good. Your basic vacation OVA, but it's definitely still worth watching.

Yeah, it's one of the best.

Dude... no joke if you think that was good... you ought to read 20th Century Boys (Naoki Urasawa). Same exact style... just a more epic story.

Lol. But with a sotry this good, you'll have no problem with it.

Finished Welcome to the NHK last night. I felt like I was looking at my future self the whole time

Judging by the activity of this thread, i might be the last one here to still keep up with /a/

Anyone hyped up for part 2 of fate/zero? Not that you should be watching it unless you played the VN.

I don't keep up with currently-running shows. I like to watch things when they're done. Also, /a/ is full of buttheads who like to kiss their own butts.

I'm watching Mawaru Penguindrum right now and goddamn it's cool. I love the style. Plot seems to be unraveling at a nice pace too. Certainly a unique little show.

Haven't watched any in a while because I've been doing other stuff and have less time on the whole for it.

So, Bleach is over. Overover.

watching this these days, it's great

That is so winter/2012. I didn't watch it, but i certainly remember dat smile

smile?

lol. literature girl is such a klutz

By the way 5/8, you should be reading It's not my fault that i'm not popular (AKA spaghetti-tan). Tomoko Kuroki is socially awkward, absurdly awkward, hillariously awkward. You first laugh at her at then you think back of how you were just like her. It hits too close to home

your sig is incredible

IF ANATA WERE KILLED ASHITA, I WOULDNT IKU 2 UR FUNERAL CUZ ID B N JAIL 4 KILLIN DA BAKA THAT KOROSU U! WE TRUE TOMODACHI, WE RIDE ISSHONI, WE DIE ISSHONI!

FLCL is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Starting episode three now.

Well I just finished and holy shit. That was one of the most random things I have ever seen but by the fourth episode I was very entertained. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to watch something more ridiculous than anything you've ever seen, or if you just wanna knock out a full anime in one sitting (it's only six episodes long).

I thought it was okay. It seemed like it was trying way too hard to be "look how weird and zany this show is".

personally it didn't really seem to be trying hard at all, just emanating with no filter whatever weirdness the creators had in themselves

I agree with the IRC Pikachu.

Also, last night after I finally finishing watching Gurren Laagan another time, I started Elfen Lied. And oh my lord, I am three episodes in and

\o

I love it And EL is more intense than anything I've seen in quite a while. The entire show is up on Youtube if you wanna start it in the near future (subbed).

Elfen Lied is awesome. That is all.

lol

Sooo, I told myself I wasn't going to post too much about shows that I complete, since I know you guys have had the same conversations regarding them several times over the past couple years, and I'd hate to bring up a stale conversation. But I have to make an exception for Elfen Lied. I fucking cried...like, I've teared up a few times in the past, but I was bawling. That has never happened to me before. It was when

Lucy was apologizing at the very end of the show and Kouta said he still loved her

That anime was one of the most incredible, heart-wrenching things I've ever seen. I haven't felt that emotionally invested into something for a long time. God dammit.

Elfen Lied is great. However, don't make the mistake of picking up the manga. It's just... wrong man.

Yeah that's what I heard. I am forcing myself to not look stuff up online about it anymore (which is something I generally do after watching something mindblowing), especially the ending. I accidentally came across a piece of information that happens in the end of the manga that I just like to now pretend never fucking happened.

I am really curious as to what else happened that makes everyone hate the manga so much, but from what everyone says about it, I know that I'm apparently better off not knowing.

oh dear god what have i done

p.s. I'm starting Kara no Kyoukai soon

It's excellent! But it's not an easy watch, especially for someone who is not versed into the nasuverse/type-moon. Try it and see how it goes.

Mawaru Penguindrum is such a cool show. In terms of style, nothing really struck me about Brain's Base's other shows (Baccano was fucking rad, but I assumed it was mainly because of the source material) but this series gives off a really unique vibe--like something by SHAFT but a lot slicker and less gimmicky. The plot is also pretty captivating thus far. Maybe I should check out more recent stuff by them.
