Any anime fans?

Post Reply New Topic

The other day I found out how Fairy Tail ends... I have never wanted to forget anything more than that.

Well don't say it, I am enjoying the ride. Recent episodes about Silver were pretty awesome for the twists. And good ending at some point would be nice though. Also the whole END thing gives me a big theory about tying a bunch of things together.

Oh yeah, new series have been getting released. Some alright shows but nothing yet that is on my radar yet as too amazing. Well maybe one, Osomatsu-san had an amazing first episode. It is the sequel (?) to a 1967 anime, which means practically ancient by anime standards, and it has a lot of fun at the fact that it should mean it would be very irrelevant, and then does some great parodies of current anime. Not familiar with what is based off, but that does not seem needed.

Probably would have been the most random anime right now, if it was not for Concrete Revolutio, which is like a bunch of shows got thrown together, including magical girl, aliens, secret agents, and the like.

I am really enjoying the return of Lupin The III.

I am definitely a huge anime fan. I recently got done with Madoka Magica and I'm currently watching The Seven Deadly Sins on Netflix.

Lupin Lupin Lupin The III

I am enjoy a number of current shows.

Erased: Really quite cinematic with how the show does a lot of scenes with an interesting mystery involving time travel.

Grimgar: In the way of increasing amount of stuck in a game or game like fantasy comes this slow paced show that follows a team with natural human flaws that impact I would say realistically on transitioning to a new world, where there drastic impacts on their psyche. How would normal people react if they were told they had to kill another living thing?

KonoSuba: Also kind of a game like fantasy world, only this one is more of a parody, where things don't go the way they should. Found it very funny so far with a party that just is not right.

Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn: This is actually one of my favourites, only it seems that barely anyone is watching it. Retro like anime have been kind of in, only this one feels reminiscent of something from the early 2000's and not earlier like other retro anime. I find it delightfully charming with the topic of cyborgs and androids, it is largely light but has some interesting topics underneath.

Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū: An anime about Rakugo, a classical Japanese medium of story telling where one person sits on stage and plays the different parts of characters of the story. You would think it be incredibly boring, and it probably is to the very young audience, but the show has an amazing job of selling it that the 10 minute Rakugo performance in the 45 minute first episode is incredibly engaging.

Plus we have returning Shiroyuki-hime, Assassination Classroom, and Gate.

I didn't know anime fillers existed until about 2 years ago, I actually watched all the 100 episodes of naruto filler and thought they were all canon. I didn't even realise the 3 tail beast and Fake 9 tails Jinchuuriki Sora arcs were filler, I only caught on once Naruto used too many flash backs.

For me personally I enjoy filler. Where would Gintama be without filler?

i have been surrounded by anime always, since i was a child, for my whole life until now... but i am not a serious fan of it. it is ok to me. but i am not fanatic about it. i am neutral.

Not really a "fan" of anything really but like the darker side of anime when I'm in the mood. Presently watching;

Diabolik Lovers - Season 2

Dance with Devils

and

Shingetsutan Tsukihime

I might prefer anime over live action but I don't really watch a lot of series or movies, regardless.
Just finished Monogatari Series Second Season (4th installment of Bakemonogatari) and I love it.
Other faves include NGE, Steins;Gate, Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star. I guess I gravitate towards seinen anime that isn't overly dark or violent. That being said, I really, really liked Hellsing Ultimate and the Berserk manga (to the point that I don't want to watch the series, because I fear it will break the magic).

Those are some.... interesting titles (the first two of which I am familiar of at least, they have a bit of a certain reputation with what I am involved in. Diabolik Lovers got a bit full on for me that I could not watch what was happening to the heroine after a few episodes into the series. And Dance with Devils became an unintentional comedy to me, especially when it had a certain scene with Pomeranians. Although I like how people can get different things out of different shows


Monogatari is a pretty interesting, it has a pretty confusing timeframe that requires some graphs to piece it all together. It is a good series by Studio SHAFT which loves its symbolism. I might recommend you another Studio SHAFT anime if you enjoy some of the thinking stuff, perhaps try Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Magical Girl Madoka Magica), it is technically about "magical girls" but it plays around with the genre and has the same director as the Monogatari series.

Has anybody watched this relatively new anime (or read its manga) Dagashi Kashi? Per TVTropes, a synopsis:

---
I like the series. It is a nice, light-hearted comedy series, and I like the main character's name.

You mean "Coconuts"? It has been a fairly interesting series where I have learned a bit about Japanese candy. Nothing too serious, just some light fun.

^ Yes, "Coconuts". What a name that character has. XD

I take it you have seen Cute High Defense Earth Club Love! as well, amirite? I liked that one; it was about time a magical boy anime got made!
