The General Anime Thread...

I'm not, I just find it stupid when legal streams are ripped and put on illegal streaming sites.

It's like fansubbers being too lazy to do their own work.<_<

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Weeeeelll..... not all sites have their own fansubbers. They just take what they can get, so that's why..


Ranking of shows this season so far:

1. Mirai Nikki
2. Guilty Crown
3. Persona 4
4. Haganai
5. Shakugan no Shana Third

 

[TheCorvette]

Though doing that increases the risk of the companies going after them. I mean this almost happened. They later dropped the case however (Which I found to be pretty stupid of them to drop.).
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-01-25/funimation-sues-1337-bittorrent-users-over-one-piece

Anyway, might as well rank my Fall 2011 shows I'm watching.
1. Hunter x Hunter (2011)
2. Guilty Crown
3. Fate/Zero
4. Shakugan no Shana III (Final)
5. Haganai
6. Shinryaku!? Ika Musume
7. Mashiroiro Symphony: The Color of Lovers

 

[Loliblade ver2]

I said don't get into it.


You know what I don't like about Shana Third? Nothing has happened yet to make it special or even that enjoyable. I'm only excited for Shana's part of the story..

 

[TheCorvette]

1. Get into what basically? I was stating how I find it stupid when legal streams are ripped to illegal streaming sites (I never really got this practice to be honest.), and how FUNimation nearly actually sued people for downloading One Piece.

2. It's pretty enjoyable, but it fails to match either of the previous seasons in quality.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Only the Shana/Yuji relationship is interesting.

 

[TheCorvette]

Not like it's there this season anyway.

Spoiler

Our main character Yuji has become very controlling, and gone down the dark path to where Shana hates him.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Spoiler

I hope you realize that relationships are broader than just romance... Friendships are relationships, enemies are relationships. And I wouldn't say Shana hates him, she's just confused... like all of us... duh.

Night everyone!

Steam is back up...

How mad was Mari when it was down?

 

[uMadson?]

You do know why it was down the whole time right? I think I know and I on't even have Steam.

Nope. Look back at dk's posts and find something better than that.

Yes and I don't see why you need to bother if you don't have Steam.

And Loliblade can pull of something as awesome as that, your argument is invalid. That's either me messing with ya for a bit or me being a Loliblade fanboy. Clearly the latter, I suppose

How mad was Mari when it was down?

I don't know at all, she keeps secrets from me, maybe she has a copy of MW3

 

[AOS-]

How mad was Mari when it was down?

Wow seriously...?

 

[uMadson?]

Wow seriously...?

Yeah, it's like Mari isn't much of a gamer chick

 

[AOS-]

Yeah, it's like Mari isn't much of a gamer chick

 

[Dravonic]

^ ???

 

[AOS-]

You'd get it instantly if you watched Clannad, but it's basically a group *headdesk*... and you should know what *headdesk* means when responding to something.

 

[Dravonic]

I did, but it was a long time ago so I barely remember anything :3

I'd rather have the good old *facepalm* though

 

[uMadson?]

WHY BRO WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

asdf

 

[Dravonic]

Speaking of Clannad, I've heard enough times that After Story is very good to make me interested. It is one of the highest rated anime on aniDB too. I never gave it much thought because I remember not caring much for Clannad due to it's excessive amount of teen "drama".

What do you guys think about it? Is it worth a try?

 

[AOS-]

Dude, AFTER STORY IS WHERE IT'S AT. you just have to put up with the teen drama in the first season to get to the best part. WATCH IT NOW!!!

Here are images of my finished tracing box AND light box:

24 flashlights goddamn.... Sourcing fail AND it's not super bright....

now onto the lightbox!

It's bigger now and I attached a sheet of tissue on the side walls. They aren't useful just yet, but once I get some brighter lamps....

I failed at picking out the backdrop material...

The goal was to make it collapsible to make it easier to store away... And here's a demo of how you pull it off.

 

[uMadson?]

Whoa AOS- you look like you're really dedicated to those kind of stuff.

 

[Sly Guy]

I see...

Spoiler

I too like the concept of Bakemonogatari where people are involved with spirits and stuff...the school-aspect just gives it that good ol' fashion everyday students which greatly contrasts it and that is what kept me watching. The content in Ep 2 is a bonus... a got damn good one at that. ;sly;

Tsubasa cat is definitely and clearly the most significant arc of them all, and I liked that one most of all, because it tied all the arcs together AND Shinobu got screen-time.

Shinobu and Araragi's moment to shine happens before the events of Hitagi Crab so of course we aren't going to see much... Wait for the upcoming OVA.

The movie is gonna be Koyomi Vamp. If you really want to know what started it all you could just read the translated novel.

And here's the fight scene. It replaces most of the flashing cards.

In the mean time, check out the link in my sig, guys.

👍!

*pics*

That's coming along nicely.

I know that wasn't directed to me too but thanks for reminding me to watch the his videos after subscribing to Mark way back...

EDIT: TGAT's Steam Group is up!

http://steamcommunity.com/groups/gtp_tgat

It needs admins though, because I can't just run it by my own self. Invitations sent to salanos and dice1998, and if you have a Steam account, please add me as a friend there if you want to be added to the group. My profile's in my sig.

EDIT 2: Steam is down atm... grrr.

Sweet. I'll join it sometime today.

This figure. I require it to be in my collection.

DO WANT!

The last half of After Story is super good.

Here are images of my finished tracing box AND light box

Good stuff. I like how you made it collapsible.

Sweet OADA

TTGL 23:

Spoiler

Now we are borrowing mind screws from EVA as well? Wow lol.

How are you supposed to create a complete alternate universe to hide the Moon in...

And looks like everyone is going super awesome now. Awesome!! Wonder how everything actually unfolds.

 

[DK]

Test suit is justice!

Anyways, no celebratory business time for me today. Asuka +

Spoiler

Her favourite driver retiring

= locking herself in my room with a tub of Haagen-Dazs.

 

[C-ZETA]

TTGL 24:

Spoiler

WTF Nia...odd.

Everyone has now died...now we're getting an EoE style thing.

And to cap it off everyone sinks into an ocean in space. Anti-Spirals can adjust whatever the hell they want in space so it makes sense...and now everyone is going to die it seems...or are they? Nah, they won't.

Notice I haven't used any smilies in these spoilers, for Loli's benefit...

Spoiler

Her favourite driver retiring

Spoiler

I thought for a sec you meant MSC was retiring lol.

 

[DK]

Thankfully Anno wasn't involved in TTGL...otherwise Simon would have probably fallen into some sort of bottomless psychological pit.

"Waah, I wanna see Nia again, waah, why is she not listening to me, waah, why is she not here, waah, why is Nia an enemy, waah etc. etc. etc."

Nia would be ousted in annoyance levels if that were the case.

Night everyone!

Spoiler

I thought you were talking about just the love relationship, not other types of relationships. You do after all love romance quite a bit.

Whoa AOS- you look like you're really dedicated to those kind of stuff.

And he probably wouldn't even be making stuff like that for his figures if I didn't somehow get him back into anime last year.

Nice how one thing leads to another.I join a certain forum, post a certain thing in a certain thread, and bam he gets into the stuff again. He later helps get Loli into it more.
---------
Damn Rurouni Kenshin just keeps getting better and better. The Sony dub (Why couldn't the Media Blasters dub or sub get legal streams?) does ruin things, but it can't bring down the quality all that much as of late.
Listening to this right now.

I always wondered why Saber always hated her last master...the latest ep was a perfect example.
