generic Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I'm definitely enjoying Valvre a lot more than Guilty Crown which was closer to Geass in having a serious core around which it built all the ridiculousness. And this core was pretty lacklustre. Valvre is made out of 100% crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerolunar Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Does anyone know if "Little Busters!" is worth the watch?Also, Attack on Titan is very popular. Atleast on MyAnimelist.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a wooden chair Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I've been loving Valverave, galactic majestic princes, and gargantia so much.Valverave is over the top, flashy, and so satisfying in a style over substance way. Latest ep I saw seems to be making it a bit more serious but that just may be the crux for them needing to make more pilots just to save lives.Gargantia is a good take on fish out of water and I love how it doesn't just outright make the humans on earth to be Japanese. Both space and earth humans have their own created cultures instead of just transposing current to future.Majestic princes? Enjoying the tribute.

Galactus Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Yeah, all the mecha-series are fun.I'm kind of having a hard time getting the big deal about Titan though. I mean, it's well done and such, the giants angle is a bit novel, but I don't get the fuzz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Aegon Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Attack on Titan made me watch anime again for the first time in years. I read the Manga but the animation of their manouver-gear is just brilliant, makes me wish I could fly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generic Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Going by the source material AoT clearly has a fairly well thought out plot with most of the later reveals being completely obvious in hindsight, yet not so blatant that many people caught on while the developments were ongoing.

Ser Rodrigo Belmonte Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Attack on Titan made me watch anime again for the first time in years. I read the Manga but the animation of their manouver-gear is just brilliant, makes me wish I could fly :)It's decent but I don't get the hype. Stuff like code Geass, death note or fmab is waay better. Hell even stein's gate was a vastly superior show. Or maybe I've been watching too much zombie stuff lately..

jurble Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 I watched the latest Berserk movie. Good as always, but still waiting for it to start adapting manga material past the previous adaption. Guts is one of my favorite rage-filled, ultra-violent heroes. If only Rickon were aged up to an adult, so we could have some equivalent in ASoIaF.Hataraku Maou-sama is done for this season. Hopefully it gets a second, I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I just watched GITS: Arise.So it's definitely non canon it seems... I thought it was a prequel.But it's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Bass Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Gargantia is fun to watch, although it's heading towards a predictable ending IMHO. I like how they actually played with the language barrier issue, using POV as the cue for what language we're hearing translated into subtitled Japanese. As mentioned above, it's a great fish out of water story.I watched most of the first episode of Attack on Titan, and just didn't care. Didn't interest me for some reason.

Galactus Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Honestly? No idea. It seemed really lacklustre, and all of the 1st eps haven't aired yet, so I can't even give first impressions.Servants X Service (workplace comedy about public servants) was fairly funny, but you might have had to work a low-level government job to find it funny?Majestic Princes is continuing I guess (I'm weirdly liking it, it somehow seems to be better than the sum of it's parts) but other than that it mostly seems to be five different flavours of moeshit. (including a reverse harem with WAYYYY too many characters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 This season has the merit of bringing parity to moeshit.Now, even girls (and gays) have their moe : Free!.But don't ask me if it's good, I don't watch this shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red snow Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I just watched GITS: Arise.So it's definitely non canon it seems... I thought it was a prequel.But it's good.Didn't realise it was out. Will have to find it. I think the blurb for it was fairly clear it's another re-imagining. Then again each film was pretty much a different take, SAC was its own beast and the original manga is different too. Japan has no problem with this approach and I don't entirely blame them if it allows them to tell a good story. Although thinking about it, it is no different from Marvel comic characters. The X-men have 2 different continuity comics, several western cartoon incarnations, a manga series, a live action film and an anime series. So maybe there isn't a big difference afterall?

Pliskin Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Then again each film was pretty much a different take,Well, not really. GITS 2 is a sequel to the first GITS film. And the SAC film is a sequel to the SAC series.And the first GITS film is kind of a loose adaptation of the manga (without all the "erotism").

Sansa_Stark Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 This thread should double as a manga/manghwa thread.What series are people reading?Right now I currently am:Shingeki no KyojinFairy TailNarutoBleachOne PieceBerserkShokugeki no SoumaAkemi ga KillClaymoreOne Punch ManAssassination ClassroomBeelzebubTorikoThe World God only KnowsAnd a dozen or so nearly no name series.and a dozen or so moderately unknown series.

I always felt they were all pseudo sequels at best. Although I agree that everything with the SAC brand was in continuity with itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errant Bard Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 The only thing that looked good to me, so far, is Turning Girls. It's got a Tatami Galaxy vibe with a dash of Josei, somehow.Other than that, heh, I suppose Railgun and MJP are still going strong, unexpectedly.Speaking of going strong, I managed to have enough time to watch Paranoia Agent at long last, and wow, it is awesome. Even though I now see Paprika was not that original in Satoshi Kon's body of work (same themes, same characters, same stories...)This thread should double as a manga/manghwa thread.I am pretty sure this is actually covered in a few threads in the literature subforum.

Galactus Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 So.... Free! is pretty funny. (some of the commentary from the director is hilarious too. "The themes of this anime is friendship, sports and UPPER BODIES. Character development is important too." also "Upper bodies are filled with dreams."I mean, yeah, it's a blatant manservice show that pretends it's a sport anime, but it's at least reasonably well done.
