I've already suggested Exorcist...some of you are already watching it 👍

I'm getting on it tomorrow night.
 
Well it doesn't have to be Kyouko.

Rewatched Angel Beats episode 14, and watched Another Epilogue. Epic speech :lol:
 
VB and I are already watching World God only Knows... However, it's not like some story where there's something to speculate on. So with that said, I'm going to speculate on Exorcist:

Exorcist ep 1 Spoiler:
can see that Rin can excel pretty damn far in life. He just needs to take it easy and not do things so carelessly. This one trait of his is what will keep the show running, in other words stall the plot.
 
So I’m watching Wangan Midnight. It so sucks so far, and I’m only at 5. The cars look really cool and the music is surprisingly good (bar the op and end, which are both hideous), but man, everything else is FASTIDOUS. The characters suck, the sound sucks, the plot sucks even more (all the “devil” thing… come ONNNNNNN) and on and on. I hope I don’t dump it, but heck, it’s 26 episodes. They could have done 6 and it would have been the same, at least so far.

I may keep watching it, but I don’t know how many episodes I can stand. I guess if I keep on watching it it will be to see the other cars he may end up racing. The White Testa Rossa looks neat… when it’s CGI’ed of course, when it’s a normal anime drawing it looks like a 5-year-old’s drawing.

At least it’s better than Initial D, where even the cars looked awful and the music was horrid… and the characters, plot and sounds also sucked.

Back when I first watched WM I posted here about how I didn't think it was going to be very good after having watched about 5 episodes, so your post rang a bell for me.

After watching the rest of the series, though, I came back and said how much better it got, and I was glad I watched it through!

The whole creepy "devil" thing goes away very soon, don't worry about that.

The characters and plot/story I'd say are both stronger than ID. But you don't watch Initial D for anything but the races. Whenever D even tries to do character development its a total fail.

And after a few more episodes of Wangan Midnight, I'd like to hear your opinion again on the music. For me it was pretty awesome. Edit: oh wait, that's already the thing you liked best about the series!
 
Hmm. I stopped watching Wangan Midnight for the same problems Cano mentioned.

But it gets better, you say? Hmm. Might have to give it another shot.
 
ID's about cars not the people :p

All I watch in ID are the smooth cornering and wait patiently for the Overtake.
 
AOS-
Sounds terrifying. How would you compare it to Clannad?

The same, but Clannad doesn’t have cars, so it sucks more.

Truth be told, when I saw some Clannad pics I almost laughed. The way it looks, the typical moe-ish girls and guys and the overused anime expressions/graphics/jokes prevented me from even wanting to watch it. And to be honest, I’m way past the over-sentimental stories. I’m realizing more and more that I can’t stand typical anime trash.
 
Don't get me wrong, WM is still mostly about the cars, and somewhat about racing. But I'd still give story and characters a 7/10, watchable. Overall 8.5/10, very good. Initial D I'd give story+characters 5/10, unwatchable, but still overall 8/10 and even 9/10 for the 1st and 4th stages! Some people say they like the cheesy old-school style of Initial D's animation. It's certainly inspired a number of parodies.

8.5? I’m struggling to give it a 3. We’ll see.

As for Initial D, I saw (barely) the first season years ago and was like “lol, sux”, and at that time I watched a lot more anime, and saw anime in general with a much gentler view. I suppose if I saw it today I’d throw up.
 
I like this attitude you impose, Cano. It's going to strike up great debate and excite a fruitful amount of activity in here.

*wink*

ID shows more of a story line than WM. Aside from that, Takumi is a spoiled brat.
 
Who wouldn't want to drive freely on a public road without ever being caught for dangerous driving? Despite never having driven a car myself, I'd like that kind of opportunity here where I live.

Spoiled, indeed :)
