Not as much as Cowboy Bebop, lady.

Ore Monogatari!!, no doubt.

Not even a "Hi I'm back from the Navy"?

Depends. How you've been doing, though?

ANN's take on creating a new anime fan.

If it's people who aren't drawn, acceptant or hard-wired to be disinterested in cartoons, then I'd open them up with the following (aside from Ghibli and Bebop):

Attack on Titans
Lupin III
Fate Stay Night Unlimited Yadas 2014
Ghost in the Shell SAC
Initial D (only if they're car people or are easily suckered into dramatic action)
Garden of Words
Garden of Sinners
Zankyou no Terror
Death Parade

 

[SVX]

Started a drawing of something, finally. Taking my time with it but it's coming along well.

Attack on Titans.
Lupin III.
Cowboy Bebop.
Fate Stay Night Unlimited Yadas 2014
Ghost in the Shell SAC
Initial D (only if they're car people or are easily suckered into dramatic action).
Garden of Words.
Garden of Sinners.
Zankyou no Terror.

Might I also add Ore Monogatari!! to this (sorry to reference to it offen). Someone who was not really into anime at all I introduced it to - he really enjoyed it and found it hilarious.

Problem with UBW is that I feel that new watchers will think certain things were an asspull or something, specifically towards the end unless they're willing to research, so they're gonna misunderstand. Plus there's some things that could have been done better. But I think ufo did a pretty good job with UBW

edit: I was looking at studio DEEN's F/SN and jeez this adaptation is terrible (mind that I've already read the VN). I could not take it seriously anymore after the Archer vs Berserker fight.

Ah, true! I didn't post my drawing because I didn't have time to scan it at work last friday, but it's done! I'll post it in monday right away 👍

So, here's today's efforts.

Hmm... Porsche 919 Hybrid 2015?

Well, these anime producers move fast, eh? Adding a brand new LMP Porsche to the background of a scene... Not a bad reference all things considered.

Also, why would you want to save that picture? To try to fool those who don't know that Pico show?

 

[Rage Racer]

Also, why would you want to save that picture? To try to fool those who don't know that Pico show?

Basically, this is how it works:

1. A newcomer to /a/, after watching another title (his second or third), creates a thread asking for a good anime to watch.
2. Some trollolo replies saying, "Boku no Pico is a masterpiece, I recommend!"
3. The gullible victim downloads it, opens the file and finds hardcore gay porn inside.
4. ?????
5. FFFFFFFUUUUUUU

Alternative version: a screenshot of some (well-known) title, and somebody asks "What anime is this?". You know the answer.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

So in essence it's some good ol'fashioned trolling towards people who don't really know much about good animes (or animes that are better than Pico, if anything, which shouldn't be too hard to find).

And I had no idea you could also do that without showing an image of the show itself, and use images from other shows. So you could actually fool someone by saying that it's Boku no Pico when in fact it's a much better anime being represented in the picture? Good grief...

Is anyone gonna watch Dragon Ball Super? It'll probably be the most-talked anime for some time. Fate/ had a lot of hype when it was airing but I doubt it'll match Dragon Ball's hype

Only if it doesn't turn into the same disaster that Sailor Moon Crystal was. Toei botched that show badly, so I'm not sure if they can avoid botching Super's execution. I'll give them the benefit of doubt, but I'll also hold my words back until I see how it turns out.

 

[Downhill Dino]

As long as it's not another GT, then I'll be looking into it.

Hello backers,
Production on Labyrinth has started!! No ETA or progress reports just yet.

Might not be able to play come September.

Finished UBW 25.

Good stuff. I shut my brain off about 7 episodes ago though so I have no engaging thoughts on the matter now. Sorry, @Technycruel.

ep 25 was just a fan service ep. Not much to see there. But I still enjoyed it to bits

Spoiler

And lol Shirou goes to fight ISIS

 

[AOS-]

Not nearly enough fan service though.

So it seems there's going to be a brief wait for the summer season shows to start.

Gangsta starts in 2 days and 16 hours from now.

God Eater - 6 days 12 hours.

Prison School - 11 days 14 hours.

True dat.

Rin doesn't look half bad with her hair down too

----

I looked over Charlotte and found that Jun Maeda, the same guy who did Angel Beats!, will be working on it. Probably be worth seeing how it'll go in spite of its pretty generic synopsis

 

[AOS-]

As much as I've grown to not like the cookie-cutter quality of twintails, I think it worked perfect for her. Her hair now looks like it's missing a lot of something to it.

The side ponytail's a bit odd on Rin (for me) if I may be honest. Or I'm just not accustomed to it.


But moving on: Week 26: Fujiko Mine (Lupin the 3rd). This professional thief is hot as sin. Brilliant at orchestrating the perfect crime and outclassing her rivals, she lives the high life competing with Lupin for desired goods.

So we've reached the halfway mark. Starting on week 27, I'm going to switch from TV series to specific artists. The featured pics will be more obscure while continuing to not overlap what I've already covered. Get hyped.

BB Fish.

So how was the Navy? Are you mad salty now?

 

[TayeezSA]

Welp, Fourth Stage was cool but I miss the shenanigans from 1st stage with all the characters. Finished it now.

I'm gonna take a break from Initial D and watch Rin: Daughters of some weird item. After that , Sakurasou Pet Na Konojo since I'll need light relief from Rin

I got one of my mates into Initial D and Cowboy Bebop this past weekend. Job well done to me 👍

In other news, my next mission will be getting one of my model friends to cosplay and watch anime this should be interesting.

Yeah, that's always the reason I loved First Stage, Fourth was the closest to replicating that imo.

Piccccccs.

 

[TayeezSA]

Piccccccs.

PM'd dunno if the link would classify as NSFW but there's nothing riskay on that page so I didn't post it here.
I've gauged the interest of cosplaying a bit but I'm looking for good cosplayers to show.

Which makes me wonder, how far will cosplayers go? I did want to do Afro Samurai at some point when I had a massive afro but nah, that biz isn't for me.

Who would you guys cosplay as?
