oh man now i understand why 2nd gig ep 15 took so fucking long. the first ten minutes is a BOMBARDMENT of sociological theory, and the timing must have been insane too. what a fansubbing nightmare. :D

and on that note, the ep itself was fucking awesome (it's the tachikoma ep for 2nd gig).

Yeah, I couldn't even make out the majority of what was going on when I was watching the raw so I can't even imagine how hard it must have been for the translator.

Seed 3 raw is out but nobody is seeding it. :boom

I really don't care what happens in FMP as long as SOMETHING happens to the Chidori x Sosuke realtionship, and I mean SOMETHING worth waiting for, not the ending of the first season or the two little cute deals in the second season.

It looks like someone finally subbed Viewtiful Joe. It's either that or a raw group is just really behind in releasing stuff.

Wow, I can see why nobody else subbed it now :{

On the upside, I love the theme song, and it's always fun to watch something that was subbed without a spell-checker.

Now I just need to find the theme song, so that I never have to watch Viewtiful Joe again \o/

What is that bad?
I havn't seen the show myself but I skipped through the raws and I thought it looked quite interesting. The game was really fun so I thought the anime wouldn't be so bad and Tomokazu Seki as Joe is a big :check for me.

I really need to download Beck soon. :sadpanda

Does anyone miss the stuff they've seen already?

I mean I really must be the sappiest motherfucker on this forum but I started playing the OST to RoD TV, Scrapped, and Stellvia, and I got stupid depressed.

It's me, isn't it?

Oh GOD, I don't want even think about how much of a moron I'm going to become once KS is over.

The artwork is appealing, the animation is nice, the action scenes are awesome, and in my opinion, the only things Viewtiful Joe misses are :

a) Characters with 2 or more dimensions
b) A plot that takes more than 6 words to describe in it's entirey

I tend to take characters and plot over all else. You could pretty much draw an anime entirely with stick figures, and as long as it told an interesting storyline, and created characters I wanted to see interact with each other, then I'd eat it up with a spoon.

Jiewtiful Joe is basicaly the complete opposite of an appealing anime, to me :{

..But I *DO* like the theme song ^^;

Well, It's not so bad for me because I end up purchasing the DVDs in the end so I can rewatch the series I loved so much. I watched the 3rd Volume to ROD TV last Saturday and I'm loving it even more with the dolby digital 5.1 surrond sound. :E I still have to make time to watch Stellvia though.

Then you'll know how I feel right about now. I'm just glad that the DVDs are being released at a fairly decent rate.

Anytime I get anime en masse I watch it as soon as possible.

I watched like, 87 episodes of Inu Yasha in about a week. Read all of Kenshin in 8 hours. Ten hours for Ranma. Three days of Evangelion, two for Trigun.

SO THERE :frust!!

Oh and I've decided that after I finish KS and this seasons current offerings, I'm going to stop watching anime for a while.

Or at least I'm going to try too. I mean I did it for like three years straight, and then Doom popped up and Scrapped, and Stellvia, and then this forum happened again like three times.

I'll grant you that there haven't been many shows lately that have sucked me in, but neither did some of the former heavyweights (in the beginning, I mean). Gankutsuou might snatch the title this year...

I'm delaying Gakutsuou for a while, I"ll catch up to it later.

Rozen Maiden is good, I liked it. Super cute, quite creative too.

The only series I am BURSTING to see more of Maria-sama, that's it.

Kannaduki seems to have settled down more, so now it's become fairly average... hope things pick up.

Genshiken is awesome and anyone who says otherwise probably deserves to be raped.

Yeah, I'm liking Genshiken. Thought it was going to be a mediocre series with ugly, cliche art based on pictures but it's turning out pretty good.

And Mai-Hime is my favorite this season by far. :love

well my number one choice would be LE actually, and PA second. while alot of shows have grown on me, like planetES, those just blew away from first ep. also the bebop movie made a huge impression on me and to this day i consider it one of the best made movies, just because it looks like its handdrawn all the way through and not cg like everything is these days. and with manga 20thcb and I"s

I saw Genshiken episode 1 with a friend and while it was quite funny I don't think it really is spooge worthy. I find the concept highly amusing but it's pretty much similar to Otaku no Video except done better. The beginning completely threw me off as I was yelling at my friend that he downloaded Kujibikiri Unbalance instead of Genshiken. The choice of voices are big :check for me and the ending theme ownz.

:check to Mai-Hime episode 5.
Finally starting to see character development although nothing great at the moment but we'll see how it turns out later on. Unfortuantely, there's no action in this episode and I didn't get any sword action. :sadpanda

apparently in conjunction with Genshiken, they're ACTUALLY releasing Kujibikiri Unbalanced too... which they appear to have made into a real anime...

About 3 months late (as usual) and possibly posting in the wrong thread but man, Melody of Oblivion is great. I've had it on my harddrive for a while now but never got around to watching it. Looking out for ep 16 now. :check

Don't think so. I've seen episodes 16+ summarized on forums in the past.

I would also like to say that the random fanservice, especially during the Melos scenes, is hilarious.
