The General Anime Thread...

[Sephy]

Btw, I've let this marinate long enough; what do you guys think of the font I used in my avatar? Is it neutral to you? Neutral enough without being boring? What do you think of the size?

I like it.

I'm pretty damn excited for Pokemon Purple. Looks awesome from the little tease shots you've been giving us and I heeeeaarrt Pokemon games.

I'm excited too though I'm not big into Pokemon games. But if it's EVA themed I'll probably love it. Just please don't make it take forever to leave the starting town... That's where I always stop playing.

Glad to hear it.

But just so you aren't disappointed later on... don't expect a normal Pokemon game with a mere Evangelion theme to it. A lot of the gameplay mechanics are gonna be changed up a lot. Even some very core mechanics, like the purpose of Pokemon Centers, are gonna be totally different.

That said, it's still basically a Pokemon game.

I'm excited too though I'm not big into Pokemon games. But if it's EVA themed I'll probably love it. Just please don't make it take forever to leave the starting town... That's where I always stop playing.

So... you stop playing 5 minutes in? That's your idea of forever?

 

[Sephy]

It's boring. I lose interest. I'm not into anything Pokemon anyways but an EVA themed game I am totally down with.

 

[Lain]

Well then it's my hope to make you into a Pokemon fan with this game.

No, belay that. It's my mission to make you into a bigger Pokemon fan than an Eva fan with this game.

 

[Sephy]

Yeah good luck with that...

I'm sure I'll enjoy your game but mainly because it's NGE themed. The only thing I remotely like about Pokemon are its underage girls. And that really didn't come out as well as I had intended it to...


In other news, where has TC been?

Well, not sure what I did to fix it, but... the HTML5 version of Purple is working fine now.

Persona 4 ep. 6:

"I've always wanted to say that." I lol'd. This episode had a few lol-worthy moments, like then they crouch beside a mailbox to "hide", the delivery person finding them while they're running, and Tatsumi after the credits.

Walter, when you reach whatever episode where Brock uses "a frying pan... as a drying pan"... let me know that's got to be the most corniest pun ever.

I also like how CAMIkaze always speaks up when merchandise is brought into subject. 👍

How you dudes like Bakemonogatari's ED?


Ongoing edit on Gilcro 5

Spoiler

HOLY! Did you see the flowchart plan Gai presented? You gotta memorize all 145 plans, that's insane!

oh oh oh did you see Ayase twirl that pen in her finger??? :3 I can do that too, AND twirl it the other direction. No anime characters can do that

Goddamn Shu, you're pathetic! You almost remind me of... me! Granted I can't carry a rocket launcher; I won't faint from dodging a knife or not know how to pull a damn trigger.

Cut it out with the Inori fanservice ffs.. boob-pressing wasn't necessary...

Good stuff, Shu. Running was a smart choice, though I would have done the stop and turn psych-out trick.

 

[ranhammerR34]

Tsubasa-nekomimi for the win. ;3
Especially when voiced by Yui Horie.

Me neither.

So, I have had the flu the last few days and I haven't watched any anime.. I'll do that on Sunday night.

Edit Bakemonogatari's ED is very good @ Andy.

The question was really more pointed to Tierylord because I'm about to say supercell also did that theme song.

Bokutachi 6..

Spoiler

I hope you guys know by now that the boy with the hat in Kodaka's flashbacks is Yozora

edjt: wait wait wait- hold that thought.....

Spoiler

It might be that dude Sena was having dinner with.

Spoiler

Did you guys notice how horrible the art looked this episode? Eyes were lopsided and the colors were flat in the clubroom.

I facepalmed at the Karaoke bit.. their logic is so dumb. And then Kodaka was pimpin' after that, and Rika's a pervert.

edit:disregard 2nd spoiler.... and do me a favour and splooge like a happy elephant:

Can I have me some:
Black Rock Shooter
Nisemonogatari
Steins;Gate.. whatever the follow up OVA was
Toradora's extra episode...
That K-ON OVA

I am almost certain I'm going to try out:
Another (it's by PA Works! It's gotta have nice art), Moretsu Pirates (space pirates! 🤬 yeah! Why not?!), and Baby Please Kill Me! (because it sounds light-hearted). Gokujyo's got a revamped old-school look, though looks may be deceiving.


LOL GYO!

the smell is coming from dead fish, which are walking out of the sea. The fish are fused to metal legs and are infected with a disease contractable by humans that was invented as a weapon by the Japanese government. After Kaori is infected, Tadashi goes to find a solution to this putrid takeover, if there even is an answer to be found.

This sounds so dumb.... but I'm also intrigued.

Completely off topic but the Best Buy here has Queen's Blade 2 on Blu-Ray. I chuckled.

*Waits for some post by TC educating me on Queen's Blade sales and popularity and how not as many people in Japan watch Queen's Blade as I thought*

Doesn't surprise me, it's Queen's Blade for gawd's sakes. Media Blasters has been making a killing off of that title as sex sells. If it has sex appeal, it most likely will appear in Best Buy. Though the BD being there, that's surprising. They rarely if ever sell the BD's for any anime in the store.

Cano be playin' mind games!

You have learned well <3

He hasn't...

Denial is good. Denial keeps us alive.


ANN can go to hell! They said that GC is only 11 episodes

MAL nor ANN is entirely accurate, and you shouldn't believe everything in their encyclopedia, especially when it comes to episode count while the show is airing...

12 is usually the announced number of episodes when a show premieres (And bad sales can make them not go past that. This is most likely why Aria the Scarlet Ammo ended at 12 episodes.). MAL takes guesses a lot, they thought Fate/Zero was going to be 26 episodes, then it changed to 13 as in it being a split season show where the last 13 episodes will premier in another season.

Guilty Crown ep. 5:

Spoiler

Was feeling a little bad for Shu. Inori was told to say those things to him. However the dude needs to stop feeling sorry for himself.

The next episode is going to be crazy.

(Code Geass spoilers included.)

Spoiler

He's already proving to the kind of character Lelouch was like in the beginning of Code Geass, before you know, he went crazy, and became Zero, and blah blah blah blah. If he becomes like Lelouch, this will definitely turn out better.

Spoiler

I find it extremely hard to believe Inori has ZERO feelings for Shu. Really Sephy, think about it

Spoiler

Code Geass will piss you off too as that's EXACTLY how C.C. feels towards Lelouch, absolutely nothing. In fact, Lelouch was never really one to love people. He wasn't into men or women at all, and you'll figure that out very early on.

In other news, where has TC been?

On other forums, and catching-up on anime. I'm still trying to get my anime schedule back in order after my sister having to use the laptop Thursday-Monday.

I right now got 9 catalog episodes of One Piece, 4 episodes of Rurouni Kenshin, 4 episodes of Honey and Clover, 1 episode of Cardfight!! Vanguard, and that's it.

Also is it me, or did The Sacred Blacksmith start to finally drop the annoying "Cecily, your boobs are so big!" (How many times have they talked about her boobs the whole show now?<_<) stuff, and actually focus more on the story? Those final two episodes when I watch them next Thursday could make the show an 8/10 for me.

[img/]http://rukinet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/animechart_2012_winter.png[/img]

The Winter season is never really that appealing to begin with, sigh.

What interests me (Excluding OVA's and movies):
Zero no Tsukaina F (However, I have yet to see any of the seasons.)
Mouretsu Pirates
Inu x Boku SS
Another
High School DxD

Also how in the hell did Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi get an OVA? That title sold absolutely horribly.

Also, I can't ****ing wait.

Ever wanted to know what Hiro Mashima, the creator of Rave Master and Fairy Tail (Currently one of the best-selling manga in Japan, and the anime passed 100 episodes as it's in it's 2nd year.) looked like? He looks much different than I thought he would.

-> Works a handful...

Hard to say no to that cleavage

^ True to that!

Actually, Feyris isn't really THAT overdone. She's more charming than other maids, and doesn't sport the typical frontal bangs, and other stuff.. her appearance is kind of refreshing to the standard moe appeal... something more generic and overdone would be something like these:

big straight bangs...

^ I was trying to emulate this style with my drawings (and still practicing). Ken Akamatsu (of A.I. Love You, Love Hina, & Negima fame) uses this style religiously.

Akamatsu

Me the suck

dumbed-down detail (especially in the hair), school-uniform

^ I think of this style, almost as close to SD style. What I adore on this particular style are the simplicity of this style. Kiyohiko Azuma's style relegates closer to this also.

Azuma

👍

Me the suck

dem big ol' eyes...

^ I shout Shoujo on this one as over-exagerrated eyes dominates this genre...I normally don't do shoujo-style at all, but maybe on my other story I might adapt to this style.

Typical Shoujo Art

Me the suck

cat ears that actually look like cat ears, and the stylized facial expressions, school uniform again..

^ I see these as eye candy or avatar pics only. Nothing more.

Stupidly good example.... Long hair, frontal bangs, school uniform, big ol eyes...

^ Ooohhhh if I could draw like this, I'll draw one & fap every-freaking-day!!!

Redonkulously huge chest, cat ears (she's a cat demon, OH NO!), puffy front bangs and stupidly huge sideburns, long sleeves and those big ol eyes again....

^ Same comment as above...

her vs. Feyris:

yeah she's got the long side bangs, but the shape of her eyes are different, the curled pigtails are different, and the cat ears are freakin' CONES for crying out loud.

If you want to venture even further down the depths of Moe, you can contact salanos

^ Same comment as above...

First we start off with an illustration...

now we start going 3D...

Now we go beyond Merchandise:

You're probably wondering who the cosplayer is.... Tachibana Remika.


Naughty enough for you?
*grabs jacket*

^ Cosplayer not naughty enough. First figurine is , me yosh-ness! 👍

High wizard or Alchemist?
I was usually a SinX

or a High Priest

^ Thanks for the contribution! 👍

Almost forgot to post the song of the day. And since my brain is absolutely away trying to process 3 photoshoots for tomorrow, my brother sez: listen to dis:



Man we be retro this week.

^ Epic Music is EPIC!

Anime series review:

Iron Man: Finally, the dubbed versions of the Marvel Anime series are being put online. So far, there's only Iron Man and the first 3 episodes of the X-men. And let me just start by saying: This is one of the best Marvel series ever. The major downside to the series story was it was a little cheesy with the over done Japanese killer robots theme, and it was very sexist. However, since Tony Stark is a sexist pig, it's okay that the series had a sexist vibe to it, as well.

The over-done story, however, I'm fine with. I don't know why. It was that good. A 4 out of 5.

^ I actually like Iron Man Anime, its like a sidestory of the movie itself. As if the anime tries to depict everything from Robert Downey version to the exact point. The only thing missing was War Machine!

^ Awesome, but the series is too short...

-> The X-Men Anime deserves to be if not emulate their series from the TAS & Wolverine & the X-men storyline or should I say be like Yu Yu Hakusho (based on series length, 150-200 episodes). I'm just wishing though...

^ Damn she's HAWT!!!

I've been in this freaking thread half the day without saying a thing. I'm becoming a lurker.

^ Oh I'm like that everyday my friend...

This thread is now SFW.

^ NOPE!!! Not while I'm still around!!!

^ MMUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAA!!!!!

Damn that was a long post.

And, I'm off. Kinda tired, and my eyes feel like if I strain them more with any type of screen time, they'll get viral pink eye again (Caused by eyestrain by like too much TV, computer, etc.).

 

[C-ZETA]

Sure is a lot of posts here given how little there really was last night.

* SPOILER *

I didn't get that.

what the Fuyutsuki happened to OADY?!

That's so sweet, you guys missed me.

And I did not retire! I've just been a bit more occupied over at FP than anything else; every time I've popped in over here it's only been for a few minutes.

Oh yeah...OADY:

And, yes, Gundams too. Always Gundam. Everyday.

AOStina has me on PSN, so you should be able to see what I've been playing lately...

Very cute T12.

I don't understand why spoiler tags compel C-ZETA to use a ton of emotes...

Because racecar???

The only thing I remotely like about Pokemon are its underage girls.

You silly person Although the new Gen 5 girl looks alright. Which is why I suppose uMadson has her as a last.fm avatar.

"Yoko-san, hostiles in the perimeter! Give me some cover fire! Dai-Gurren, this is Lagann 1, requesting immediate assistance, over"
"Gurren 1's pinned down by target and Gurren 2's busy defending the-"
"Baka, I'm pinned down too, I need assistance right now!"
"ANDRE-SAN, CONTACT AT 11 O' CLOCK!"
"CAN'T GET A SHOT, HE'S OUT OF MY LINE OF SIGH-*gets shot by missile*"

I got too much of SSoHPKC MW3 lol. Would be epic if the Dai-Gurren spoke like the military.
