Steins;Gate is SO good. Proably top 3 or at least top 5 for me (if you couldn't tell from my avatar). Not that I've seen THAT much.

Now that I've seen a bit of the series, I know what your avatar is now  :tup

This surprised me. I hope it's better than season 1. It probably won't be.

I loved S1 until the about 80% through the season, then it left me bored. But this looks interesting. Nothing more... I'm still railing for Attack on Titan S2. The manga keeps getting better and better so I at least know what to expect. I haven't read any SAO (or any of the other 'games').

I wouldn't expect AoT s2 for atleast 2-3 years. S1 covered 37 chapters so we would need at least 74 chapters worth of manga for season 2 to begin. That's 2 years away.

Oh god, they're making more SAO? ಠ_ಠ

I've been watching it on Toonami since it started airing and not even the gorgeous animation can mask the horrible writing.

I'll have to watch that sometime. I keep hearing great things about it. Maybe after Kill la Kill is done.

Shin Angel is sweet. Yes, it’s quite hentai, but there’s some good character development. The story is fairly romantic.

I haven't seen that yet, but I like the lighthearted tone of Gurren Lagann, and the oft-affectionate parody of similar shonen.

I watched the first four episodes of Attack on Titan today. It's pretty cool; one thing about it I like in particular is how well-blended the still backgrounds are with moving characters. Usually it's a lot more obvious when a background was painted and animated objects seem like they're in a completely different plane, but on the show it seems very organic. However, I don't think I'm a huge fan of the bold outlines around everything; it looks very reminiscent of a comic book. But I'm intrigued. Will definitely keep watching  :tup

Finished Steins;Gate.  Now I'm wondering why it took so long to watch it.  It was as good as I had heard and then some  :hefdaddy

This has been a great year in anime for me. I'm so glad I got over my shonen phobia. Anyone gonna catch the Space Dandy debut in a half hour?

So that was...interesting. :lol I'm definitely also going to catch the Japanese sub tomorrow. I dunno, I thought it was pretty good, but I get the feeling it's funnier in the original Japanese.

It... looked pretty? I guess?

Meh. Way too much time spent in Space Hooters, and none of it was really that funny. I knew that it was going to be silly, but I at least expected some kind of plot. I guess the joke's going to be that they die at the end of each episode? I'll give it two more episodes before I drop it, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed.

I think it's way too early to judge, personally. It's Shinichiro Watanabe, so I'm willing to give it more leeway than I might any other new series.

Edit: Also rewatching the English dub now, and for some reason I like it more on review.

So, uh... Yesterday I watched the entire second series of AKB0048. That show is unreasonably addictive.
This is as exciting as superluminal neutrinos. The sexy thing is that this actually exists :D

Nice, Snap! Good gal you got there.  :lol :metal I'm getting my girl into Attack on Titan. She's into really gory movies and shows (just got into Dexter and is absolutely obsessed...it's actually kinda annoying how much she talks about..er...forgot the actor's name, but 'Dexter' himself) so I'm thinking she'll get into it eventually, she's having a hard time getting past the whole "ANIMATION IS FOR KIDS" thing, which really annoys me since she loves stuff like Rio and Finding Nemo. Anyway, I'll break her ignorance once she sees the brutality of the titans...MUUUUAHAHAHAHA! She got me a really awesome Levi poster since she knows I'm addicted to it so that's really awesome, and she's learning the characters and such.


Anyway, I concur on the Samurai Champloo viewing; if you like Bebop, there's no way you won't get into Champloo unless you're some kind of samurai hater. It's based more in Japanese mythology than Bebop, but it's very, very much the same style, vibe, and general feel. The music is also the absolutely best soundtrack that any anime can offer and I'm actually listening to it right now, and often do most days. Very chill, very entertaining, and yet so deep in it's inception and purpose. Wonderful ride.

I'm getting into Kill La Kill and I'm loving it. Other than that, I'm still really into my manga and not so much into most anime. Crunchyroll has a wonderful selection now, but I'm still not so much into the anime as I used to be. A lot of it seems...shallow. There's a few that intrigue me but the stories tend to fall flat after a while. I suppose me growing up as a manga addict is a hard habit to break. I really like my anime, but they are few and far between, especially since the ones based on manga are mostly complete shit. I find that the Bebop/Champloo ones (and/or standalone anime) are the ones that I flock to.

I actually haven't check out Steins:Gate yet... and I don't think Crunchyroll has it so I'm gonna have a hard time getting it (er...legally...and with a good quality format). I'm in the process of doing some maintenance to my PC so I'm without a Blu-ray/DVD player at the moment, at least for the next few weeks, so I'm thinking I'll have Attack on Titan finished within that time and hopefully will get a player before then. But yeah I'm really interested in that one and have heard nothing but great things. I don't wanna bombard her though, she's new to the whole scene and is just now getting into the manga culture, and with a new anime, I'm hoping to ease her into it without going all fanboy on her.  :lol

I just watched it on Hulu.  It wasn't rated M so you might be able to watch it without an account, but there are ads (and it seems like the breaks get longer every time I watch something)

I've got an account on Hulu, although I don't know why because I haven't been on Hulu in about two years  :rollin I used to have it to watch Community but I haven't liked recent seasons so I stopped using it, but that is good to know that I can put my money to use! I might have to get the Blu-Rays just for the quality though, I really like the crisp, clean look of HD anime shows.

Did anyone watch the first episode of Pupa? It's a 4 minute episode but it's definitely ...special. I honestly don't know what to make of it but I enjoyed it, so I guess it was good?

Anyway, check it out! You've only got 4 minutes to lose.

I said that because i don't think Attack on Titans is a really great choice for her to get past the "ANIMATION IS FOR KIDS" thing you said... i would have chosen an animes like Steins Gate, Death Note, Clannad  :corn

Maybe if you were familiar with Elfen Lied beyond the very violent first scene, you'd know that it is in fact a compelling, disturbing, depressing, and a bit heartwarming psychological thriller, and that I am indeed being serious.
