Hell yeah, Redline is awesome.

I started watching One Punch Man, it seems pretty fun so far.

Just finished watching and enjoying Charlotte. I thought it was a great take on the whole super-powered teenagers trope.

Anime on my to-watch list:

Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans
Asterisk War
Comet Lucifer
Concrete Revolution
Heavy Object
Terror In Resonance

Soak in the wisdom of Saitama-sensei!

Started watching Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto ga Iru!, and I have to say that judging from the first few episodes this is by far the most shameless author self-insertion fantasy I have ever seen. The protagonist is a ridiculously flawless and privileged rich-mans boy with a full harem of girls constantly seeking to bed him and literally the only problem he has in his life is that one of them is secretly his little sister so he can't just indulge himself in them. But it is ridiculous enough to be funny so I guess I'll keep watching.

i have started watching "the big o"
let us see how this goes shall we?

It's a standalone film, but exceptionally animated.

MadHouse I think.

Go watch it.

Indeed

Redline's a great film and a labor of love, took 7 years to complete between other Madhouse projects. Every single frame of animation is hand drawn, no use of CG.

No one picked up Valkyrie Drive?

I don't believe it! No! That's impossible!



As aside, a friend recommended The Seven Deadly Sins.

It's on Netflix (for now... fuck them) and so far I made it a few episodes into the 26-episode season.
I'm laughing every time.
Especially the talking pig. I love pigs. Makes me want to play a talking pig bard in my brother's upcoming D&D campaign.
But seriously, it's a great show, the style is like Final Fantasy Tactics but with overpowered combat like a high-fantasy DBZ.

Watched Boruto, the Naturo son movie, this weekend. Its pretty good, easily the best Naruto movie of all (which is not a difficult thing, as the others were inconsistent at best). I wonder if its gonna turn into new series or something.

So, appearantly there's a new GITS Movie . . it's called: GITS - The New Movie . .
i'll probably be giving that one a try come saturday . .

I have been watching a lot of anime lately. Probably too much, given I used to be a weeaboo. Plastic Nee-San, Bayonetta, Cat Girl Planet, Princess Lover, B Gata H Kei (the character design is just flat-out beautiful for her. I think it's the eyelashes and the mouth shape), Grenadier, and Teizokurei Daydream. I will actually review any of these if people ask.

I generally recommend Daydream for people who want something short (4 episodes), and who like a serious plot tempered by silly comedy moments.

My to-watch list is still huge... BlazBlue, Yuruyuri, Rozen Maiden, Ghost in the Shell, K-On!, Maken-ki, Boku wa Tomodachi Sukunai, Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!, Onee-chan ga Kita, Aki-Sora, Mahoromatic 2...

Send help ;_;

I highly recommend Persona 4 the Animation (not Golden though) and Persona 3 the Movie (it's a trilogy, the third one is not out yet). They are pretty good.

YuruYuri just started the 3rd Season.
Still cute fun. GITS . . . you should have watched that by now! o.o

I've been loving One Punch Man, and have managed to get my roommate to be as anxious as I am about upcoming new episodes.

Coffin Princess Chaika is the most "Meh" anime that I've ever really seen. Granted, I don't really watch much anime, but that is seriously the most mediocre experience that I've ever experienced. Everything about it the damn show is like-ain't that some shit.

Digimon Adventures tri. is pretty good. I mean, it's basically what you'd expect, and I suspect that if you're in the age range that frequents this site you pretty much have to be an old digimon fan, but I liked the four episodes that are out right now.

I wasn't too impressed by Tokyo Ghoul...

Is that an English dub, or the original Japanese sub? Because if it's the latter, where do I go to see it?

Crunchyroll has the sub.

Well now I know where I'll be spending my afternoon.

I enjoyed most of the first season. It looked like they were going to seriously get into what it'd be like to have to suddenly rely on eating people and all the things that entailed. Then they just didn't. Copy paste that sentiment for each and every potentially interesting direction they could've taken the story and then just didn't. It had me even up to the end of the 1st season but they did so little that when the second season came out I couldn't make it past the first episode of it.

Concrete Revolutio is great. It's an incredibly nuanced look at post-War Japanese culture and militarization through the lens of superheroes. I highly recommend it.

Season 2 (Tokyo Ghoul A) is really bad. It totally avoids all the interesting questions, ruins every good character except Touka, who just gets mostly sidelined, and becomes pretty nonsensical by the end. They also manage to totally deflect any potential world-building at all. Consider yourself lucky that you skipped it.
