They are really trying to find more stuff eh...

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 2:18 am

Just learn how to use Winny and you'll have no need for raw groups

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 4:40 am

I know how to use winny, but it's actually kinda slow in a lot of ways

I also don't have updated nodes, but I suppose I could stop being lazy and find them out

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 7:27 pm

Yakitate 1
Uta-Kata 2
Gankutsuou 2 (Shitsquad)
Final Approach 2

I was reminded that Solar is doing Genshiken btw, so yay.

So what exactly is BECK? I only had time to watch the intro, and now I have it stuck in my head. What's the story, and why am I so intrigued based on its intro alone...

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 10:10 pm

It's about a kid who joins a rock band and their merry adventures~

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 4:44 am

First episode of Genshiken I watched and enjoyed, although the premise is a bit different, I like the characters and it's pretty funny

Defenitely a keeper, probably going to sleep up on a lot of people, so get on the bandwagon now?

I think next is Yakitate, so I'm looking forward to that.

The first two minutes.. what the hell. This is hilarious.
ROFL AND THE REST. HILARIOUS.

IT'S RYOUSUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TheDarkOne · Post by **TheDarkOne** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 6:01 am

it seems he likes Yakitate :>

we told you so!

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 6:21 am

The first two minutes weren't in the manga and I thought it owned.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 7:24 am

Okay, went through some more new stuff.

Kannaduki no Miko 2 - I REALLY like what they're doing with this, and they really cut through the crap. They accomplish in two eps what would normally take ten in your usual anime of this nature (not that this is usual... it's like Maria-sama x Yamibou x mecha). Personally highly recommended, but it probably won't strike everyone's fancy. And finally, I like what SS does with the ED karaoke.

Gankutsuou 2 - awesome.

Uta-Kata 2 - more ehh from me... it's kinda lame, I guess...

School Rumble 2 - still charming, but losing a little bit of novelty. Not nearly as energetic as the first episode.

Tactics 1 - nice art/mythology, but yaoi~

Edit: Grenadier 1 - utterly ridiculous. I suggest you pass on this.

Gray · Post by **Gray** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 2:18 pm

am i the only one who cant use anime.mircx?

Just checked, I've got the same problem too.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 4:32 pm

It's been borked for a couple of days.

dicetomato · Post by **dicetomato** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 4:52 pm

Grenadier is basically Vash The Stampede switching with a ridiculously huge breasted woman.

It's alright but meh.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 5:11 pm

TheDarkOne · Post by **TheDarkOne** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 6:41 pm

why i dont know...

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 7:55 pm

Champloo 17 finally subbed and it was great. Finally enough to push Champloo over Samurai 7 for me since Champloo gets better and better, while Samurai 7's inconsistencies are a bit putting off.

Subbed?

I've decided to follow the new SEED, so I'm going to finish SEED, which I'm getting off of a crazy slow torrent.

Too bad we all have to wait until the new network has aired the original 17 episodes before any new episodes air.

I've finally figured out what the hell Champloo is while watching Azumanga Daioh DVD 5. Apparently, it's a specialty food in Okinawa.

Mai-Hime episode 3=:E:E:E
Mikoto is my favorite character by far and I completely love the sword she's wielding but I'm a big whore for large swords. The design work for this show is so intriguing and the music is some of Kajura's best. It's really refreshing to hear something that's different from her typical Beetrain works.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sat Oct 16, 2004 9:53 pm

I thought we established what Champloo was a while ago.

You forgot Zipang. Switch Yakitate and Kannazuki no Miko and put School Rumble Higher than Mai HiME and you've got my list. Wow, Doom and I agree

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 4:25 am

Well, somebody needs to sub Zipang !

dicetomato · Post by **dicetomato** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 8:45 pm

You forgot Viewtiful Joe, Doom.

HKK · Post by **HKK** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 9:31 pm

My list:

1. Yakitate!! Japan - caught me by surprise a lot, I'm reading the manga and I love it. I'll definiately keep watching this. It's my first cooking anime, so the idea seems kinda fresh to me.

2. Gankutsuou/The Count of Monte Cristo - pure, absolutely badass style retelling a classic book in a different setting and time. I will keep watching, I have high expectations, hopefully Gonzo won't fuck it up.

3. Gundam Seed Desiny - There's not much to say about this other than that it is the sequal of my favorite Gundam tv series, so I am sure I'll like it a lot, especially since it's a continuation and has old characters returning.

4. Beck - Interesting story. Characters seem moderately likeable, but the story and plot seem pretty solid. It kind of looks like a more serious version of Detroit Rock City but animated.

5. Bleach - seen two episodes. And it's pretty meh-ish at this point to tell you the truth. I'm just not all that interested in another anime where the characters fight enemy after enemy and the show has over 100 episodes. One Piece is my series for that, I stopped watching Naruto.

6. Viewtiful Joe - I saw the raw for episode one. The style is kinda...I don't know. It's nice that they have the style of the games, but it just feels wierd having the characters look like that for some reason. I didn't understand what they were saying, but otherwise I thought it was alright. I heard I'm not missing much when it comes to story though, so that's good.

7. Mai Hime - started watching the first 5 minutes and started watching RE Cutie Honey after viewing the intro. Meh. Since so many people are spooging over this, I'll finish watching it later.

Now the only new anime series left for me to try out (that I'm interested in atleast) is School Rumble.

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 10:42 pm

The only ones spooging over Mai Hime are Killey and myself.

WHICH EVERYONE SAW COMING FIFTY MILLION MILES AWAY.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 10:51 pm

It's true, it's true.

I like it just fine but I need to have it show me something new before I start getting enthusiastic about it.

Seta · Post by **Seta** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 10:52 pm

And me.

It's good mindless fun.

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 10:54 pm

Exactly!

I can't wait to see what she does in episode 3.

Kokaku · Post by **Kokaku** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 11:02 pm

Anyone know why BT keeps giving me a "IO Error: [Error 13] Permisson denied" half way through all my SEED torrents?

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Sun Oct 17, 2004 11:50 pm

Yeah, it's beginning to seem more and more like Godo is a lesser version of Killey/LoR. He loves Saikano and Stellvia...

Killey · Post by **Killey** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 12:02 am

Maybe I should use that temp sig that Mikey made for me as the quote pretty much sums up the main reason why I like Mai-hime.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 3:31 am

According to AF-F, Champloo 18 won't air until January.

Killey · Post by **Killey** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 3:47 am

Doom wrote:According to AF-F, Champloo 18 won't air until January.

Yeah, I saw that coming when episode 18 didn't air for two weeks straight. I just assumed the new network was reairing the series starting from episode 1 so it would take another 17 weeks before we saw anything new.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 3:58 am

Exactly.

Of course the first DVD will be out here then !

Killey · Post by **Killey** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 4:29 am

I wonder if this setback will throw off Geneon's plans for future Samurai Champloo DVD's. Wouldn't they need all of the Japanese DVD's to be released in order to make the North American DVD?

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 2:13 pm

Initial D 7 and 8 are out.

FINALLY a KEISUKE RACE!!!! JOY TO THE WORLD.

Does anyone else who is watching this think that Iketani, Kenji, and Itsuki were all drawn so horribly... they look so fat now, while Takumi, Keisuke and Ryousuke are all pretty much the same with angular chins and faces. Even Kyoko was a bit.. I dunno, different. A lot different than the manga.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 5:24 pm

i can't tell... they're all just different shades of ugly

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 9:50 pm

Eh, watched HiME 3... still not particularly impressed by anything except for the fact that Kajiura is finally coming off as more dynamic with her work here. That and Mikoto's fighting style is cool. But that's about it.

Killey · Post by **Killey** » Mon Oct 18, 2004 11:50 pm

It's actually very refreshing to hear music that is not associated with Beetrain from Kajiura. The music in Mai-hime reminds me of her works on Aquarian Age, which I absolutely loved (the music that is).

Mikey's sig for me pretty much sums up my opinion of Mikoto and pretty much Mai-hime for me.

Has anybody checked out Grenadier yet? I've yet to watch it for myself but I've heard as well as seen images of it that makes it quite amusing. The action sequences look interesting with the main heroine bouncing bullets off her breast to reload her gun.

I know it sounds very lame but the effect is executed a whole lot better than it sounds.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 12:10 am

It IS lame, but in an amusing way such that I'll keep watching. The show is pretty shoddy overall though.

TheDarkOne · Post by **TheDarkOne** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 1:40 am

wtf is the difference between this thread and the pub?

Killey · Post by **Killey** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 2:21 am

I've asked the same question but I've forgotten the answer already. I think it was to help seperate the general anime discussion and not let one thread get too big. Personally, I don't think there's much of a difference in the first place.

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 2:48 am

Pub -> General anime discussion
Ongoing -> Current anime discussion

TheDarkOne · Post by **TheDarkOne** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 3:56 pm

good thing that has been clarified...

Leftover · Post by **Leftover** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 3:57 pm

omg MoO 15!

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 5:28 pm

The only reason why it doesn't seem like there's much of a difference is because you useless pricks don't make the distinction and post arbitrarily in both threads.

j0hn Ayanami · Post by **j0hn Ayanami** » Tue Oct 19, 2004 6:11 pm
