I'd probably watch it if the girls had DFCs.

eww....

moe and comedy draws my attention the easiest. This is apparent when someone posts a video somewhere or when I eventually end up watching some funny scene after going through 3 or 4 related videos on youtube.

If a trailer has some wicked animating style or if any action scenes keep my attention, I'm already interested...

It's actually been a while since I actually went and looked up a show to watch... after a while it just became recommendations and more recommendations.
 
For me, it's the plot summary that makes me interested in trying a show or not. Sex appeal and animation may catch my attention, but I won't watch the show based off of only that.

If Sekirei for example had a story that didn't interest me, I wouldn't bother checking it out. In reality after reading the plot summary, I was interested, checked it out, and fell in love with the show.

Truth. Story is where it's at. Good animation and eye pleasing characters are a plus but they are nothing without a good story. Granted I do take breaks to watch something silly but shows with good stories are the most important ones.
 
Not getting into this dumb ol played-out debate again....

Speaking of Nichijou, for those who didn't already know, it sold poorly in Japan. It won't get a second season ever. Nice how this news came after Bandai Entertainment licensed it.<_<

I would read it, but with the low resolution and poor handwriting, it's nearly impossible to read :p

^ Low res? Bad handwriting I get it but low res!?

:confused:
 
I think it depends on your camera. My camcorder is horrible with getting smaller print even when I put in focus. I need a better camera if it's going to easily be able to see the print on a page of a magazine for example.
 
Alright caught up on the new shows. Good stuff so far. Now going to bed so I can wake up early to watch some more After Story before class. Night TGAT! <3
 
Just finished Gilcro2

First of all, GAI's A GODDAMN GENIUS! Nakamura Yuuichi <3

I take it Shu killed Yan in that short-lived action sequence and I certainly hope so. I can't stand people like him.

I agree to both statements. Only halfway through GG ep 2 since my net is kicking my ass. Going to watch Persona 4 episode 3 and then hopefully be able to finish GG.

It may be too mecha for me, but I'll cling onto it because I heart Inori already and the action is pretty nice.

Pink haired girls are great. Yui, Lucy, Anemone, Inori, Yuno, Feyris... just some examples.

Stream for Persona4 is out of sync really badly. Going to try again later..

Feyris has my heart so far for pink-haired women...and I love Yui's personality... especially in ep14 :lol: if Inori is capable of doing something spectacular, then she wins.

Oh one more thing, you know how Inori was all innocent-like in the first ep? I like how she speaks up in this ep. It already tells me she's not another soft-spoken introverted helpless pitiful girl... so far she's got a fair level of wisdom and that's good, but I just hope that doesn't lead into the cutsy ignorant crud...

Looks like I have some anime to watch tomorrow night. ;) --- Randy

Oh I know that feel with out of sync so much. Toei Animation streamed Pretty Cure (Part of this deal with FUNi where certain Toei series got streamed.) so horribly (I really wish there was a DVD release.). If you ever watch the legal streams for Pretty Cure, watch out.

Big yellow subtitles, sound sounds like it's coming out of an old record player, you can hardly hear on max volume on some episodes, quality doesn't look all that great compared to the actual thing, and on some episodes the sound is very, very out of sync where you need to play that same episode in another tab without volume and try to sync the two that way.

On a completely unrelated note, I really feel like re-watching Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal but I don't have the damn BD.:(:(:(:(:(Sigh, when my parents will pay me for the yardwork I did so I can buy it, I'll never know.

I'll probably buy it before Oreimo as even though that was a top-seller and a popular pre-order, it's still in-stock. It might last as long as the Baccano! LE BD which came out in May which you can still get.

I'm fairly certain you'd like Anemone from Eureka Seven, she had my heart much more than Eureka did <3 Also, dose murderfaces

Guilcro2
Inori's soft spoken, but at no point would I have considered her helpless. Sure, she may not be kicking ass like everyone else. But at the same time she wasn't going Shinji on us. Most likely going to be my favourite female. Maybe just because of her hair and that cutesy attitude.

Oh, and btw: I hate the opening. Got damn hate it so much. The ED is great though :D Nice, soft tune.

GAI IS TOTALLY BOSS, MAN. I didn't like him at first 'cause he was being a little bitch to Shu and Inori. But he kicks wicked ass and knows how to strike a pose while shiz is blowing the 🤬 up. On top of that, it seems like he has a softer side to him as well, I like that.
 
AOS- should just straight up watch Eureka Seven already. It's :censored:ing epic.
 
Guilty Crown Episode 2: Awesome. :D Shana III: Final Episode 2 was good too.
YUJI'S BACK!

Not Shinji, more like ... Kotomi.. dumb-founded and oblivious by nature. But again, despite having that kind of face, she was able to converse with Gai formally so I have nothing to worry about.

Fair enough. I never did like Kotomi, she was boring like Rei...... aside from her violin of death :lol:
 
Violin of Death :lol:

Did you know she can play the entire band instruments and perform Through the Fire and Flames on a single Violin?
 
El Cazador de la Bruja review: With a name like "The Hunter of the Witch", one would expect this little anime series to be exciting, fast paced with a lot of magic and what not. In reality, it's slow, meandering Mexican western about a bounty hunter hired to find and protect a young witch wherever she maybe going. The series is so nonchalant about the pace at which it moves, that some people might find it boring. I, however, find it refreshingly enjoyable. It's a nice change from the normal run and gun, fast paced anime. There is a little action here and there, but the action scenes are never very long. There is some underlying tension at times, but that tension is usually dispersed by the small talk between the two women.

In short, El Cazador de la Bruja is a refreshing, casual paced story that spends more time building the relationship between Nadie and Ellis than anything else, which is nice and is helped by the fact that both characters are enjoyable. This series is so casual that, while both girls have mysterious pasts, it doesn't actually feel like they're going to bother with exploring them in any great detail. The series is does a brilliant job at keeping the relaxed pace, which means you don't feel like you have to sit down and watch every episode in the series right now as if the lives of the characters somehow depended on it.

A 5 out of 5.

EDIT: P.S. El Cazador is from the director of Noir and Madlax and there is at least one major reference to both series here:

Guilty Crown was badass.

Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai... I love this show more every time I watch it. Sena is hilarious. And there's some development between her and Yozora with Kodaka

Pic 1: Reminds me of Asuka's test suit...:drool:...please tell me she's legal!
Pic 2: Reminds me of the scene in NGE where Rei, Asuka and Shinji are travelling through the ducts...and Shinji gets pwn'd.
