talk about anime here
-insert anime talk-
Yup. You guys should definitely get an account on http://anilist.co, it's worth it and then we can share our lists.
This is mine : http://anilist.co/animelist/33134/Streetwalrus
And aeTIos's : http://anilist.co/animelist/29639/aeTIos
I had a list of anime on another anime website like that one except I forgot the URL. >.< ANyway, in my case I was mostly into MCoG (the Mysterious Cities of Gold), although I don't know if Season 2 and higher count as anime, since they were not co-produced with Japan, unlike season 1.
EDIT: Oh right it was Anime Planet that I used. Here is my list http://www.anime-planet.com/users/DJOmnimaga/anime
Hmmm MCoG is good, I watched all of it with my sister when we were younger.
I think I should add a lot of Miyazaki movies to my list. I'm a huge fan and I have to (re)watch some of his masterpieces.
Glad you liked MCoG too. Some people hate it because it lacks much action and it's too much exploring for their tastes, but it depends of people. I like the season 2 too although Kokapelt voice is friggin annoying in that version and the season is much shorter (26 episodes instead of 39), plus some graphics like the great condors don't look as polished since the conversion to CGI.
Hmmm I didn't watch season 2 yet. I should probably watch it though.
By the way Season 2 picks up a few months after where season 1 left of. The reason why some people hate it is because they did not reuse the original voices and people generally prefer originals to newer stuff and it's next to impossible to do as good as in the original. The issue, though, is how the hell do you keep the same voices if season 2 was created 30 years later? I mean, are all the voice actors still even alive?
Well at least the people who voice acted the kids, but their voices changed. :P
That said, I heard that one kid voice actor is still the same. I should check if that's true. O.O
I went last week by Code Geass's first seasons. I have mixed reactions from friends about the last part so I'm waiting for some confirmations. Yet I tumbled by SAO and it looks pretty nice. I should watch it from start.
Yes SAO is very good, it's definitely a must watch. :)
/me is marking SAO in his watch wishlist.
Do you have any other suggestions?
Look at my list. Pretty much all of the shows I'm currently watching are really awesome (you may or may not like the shoujo stuff though :P), same for stuff I completed.
I'll have a look so. And yes, let's avoid shoujo, that's not my style at all!,^^
Also notice how aeTIos and I are watching the same shows. :P
You just watched a few more than me. You can basically say anything I watched has been watched by Street too. That said I'm often the one to find the anime we're watching in the next season :P
So a friend showed me Angel Beats. Didn't see anything as mind blowing since Madoka Magica. I definitely recommend it.
Also among the currently airing shows, Parasyte is really awesome. My friend and I are following it together and the story is epic.
When you first brought that anime up, I thought it was an electronic music band or song, because of the name. <_<
Oh yeah I thought the same. Also if you like metal, Detroit Metal City is super funny. I need to watch it.
I watch quite a few anime and drama those days, because I'm part of the school's anime club and each Friday we watch a bunch of episodes 1 (so we can watch a lot more series and anyone missing one session won't miss anything/get spoiled because it's never the same anime).
Ah that's pretty nice. I myself found a guy with the same interests as me so we watch some things together (tho he doesn't like shoujo :P).
It's weird that I'm saying this but I can't wait for SAO2 finale. Mothers Rosario really is a good way to end this series (assuming there isn't a third season)
I have it downloaded right here. :3 Gonna watch tonight.
Actually, SAO is pretty fun, it seems. I got by the sixth episode and I've been caught in the flow. I should take some time to watch it more!
Yup SAO is awesome. Guess why I rated it 10/10. :P
Amagi Brilliant Park (another KyoAni title) was great. It literally just finished in japan.

I was going to watch it, but then I saw the other 6 anime I wanted to watch last fall. Going to watch it later on.
I've been watching Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu Ka? recently. It's basically moe girls in maid dresses doing cute and fluffy things, mixed with a bunch of comedy. Made me LMAO several times.
I also finished Angel Beats! last week. Huge recommend.
And then I have those 10-ish anime that I only watched a few episodes from and said "I should finish this". I should really finish them.
I finished the 25first SAO episodes (SAO and ALO arcs). What should I watch next to keep going?
Erm, watch season 2? Pretty easy :P
'Was wondering if it had a different name from the season 1. Thanks anyway
Quote from: aeTIos on January 03, 2015, 07:13:06 PM

^This ^^
Also, someone told me Angel Beats is good, but I dunno anything about it. Also want to watch Attack on Titan, but I haven't found the time yet. Anyone seen it or have any comments on it?
You should definitely watch Angel Beats. While not a masterpiece, it's definitely a good show. For Attack on Titan, I watched episode 1 and put it on hold because I have too darn much anime to watch ^^; All I can say is that it's very WTF and shocking, but seems like a good story.
Finished Gochuumon wa usagi desu ka yesterday, highly recommended. It is rumored that a second season is in the making but I haven't seen any official news on that yet.
I started watching Little Busters! yesterday. Two episodes in, I'm going in totally unprepared. Totally going to finish this, I'm really interested.
Also downloaded Kin'iro Mosaic yesterday. Also a moe show like GWUDK. Been wanting to finish it for a while but I couldn't find a good release.
A Kancolle anime will start airing next Wednesday (Jan 6). Ever since I came across the franchise I knew it was going to have an anime. I hope it's good :D Does anyone else have recommendations for anime that start airing next season?
Is Attack on Titan in any way related to Titan After Earth?
I don't see any link between the two.
Also, for GochiUsa, I found an official announcement for a second season! http://2chmokomokocat.blog72.fc2.com/blog-entry-6730.html
Aah ok I was wondering due to the name. Titan After Earth wasn't an anime IIRC and it wasn't very popular but that movie has some cult following online.
EDIT: Actually the English title is Titan A.E.
Here are my favorites,
1) Death Note
2a) Attack on Titan
2b) Psycho-Pass
2c) Deadman Wonderland
3) Fullmetal Alchemist
4) Soul Eater
5) Fairy Tail
All the anime aeTIos is talking about seems pretty good and I should watch it.
That aside, Sora no method was genius. 10/10, you guys should watch it.
Code Geass is epic.
Log Horizon 2 gets better every episode.
SAO2 was a bit disappointing (first half was great although slow, second arc started great but they screwed it up imo).
I also strongly recommend Parasyte, Tokyo Ghoul and Akatsuki no Yona.
Oh and I approve of Angel Beats. Masterpiece for me.

If I understand you correctly, SAO2 takes place after SAO and it's the next season.

To add to that, and to address the thing eiyeron might be confused about, no, SAO2 is not the ALO arc.
thanks aeTIos, I finally got it.
First episode of Kantai Collection is out! And boy, I like it. I wanna see how this turns out :D
I also finished Sora no Method yesterday. 11/10 will buy this on DVD/bluray. (probably buy DVD then download blurayrip because 1080p x) ), Highly recommended, this is by far the best anime of Fall 2014.
Another anime that's really promising is Akatsuki no Yona. Started in Oct '14, I thought it would run for ~24 episodes, maybe 2 seasons. But it turns out that it's a manga adaptation of a manga that's been running since Aug 2009, so I think that this might end up being a long-running anime. Feels cool to have jumped on the train from day one (even though I only caught up with it today, wathcing ~10 episodes :P)
Indeed, Sora no Method was very good. It's a must watch imo.
And yes it does feel pretty cool to have started a long running anime from day 1. :D

Look at us just assuming that AnY is going to be a long run anime. Seems quite likely, though. First season is already halfway and not quite much has happened yet.
A long anime would be if they remade some American soap opera TV shows into anime and remade every episode. I think some have like 10000 episodes or more, since they aired every week day for 40 years.
365 * 40 = 14600.
Oh my goodness. That isn't a soap opera anymore, it's a timeline!
More like (365-104) * 40 = 10440, since they don't air on weekends. But yeah, The Young and the Restless have about that much episodes.
Edit: 10574 episodes at the time of writing, and it's in its 43th season. Not far from my estimation.
Imagine someone doing a watching marathon of such anime series O.O
Assuming 1 hour/episode, that would last 440 days and 14 hours non-stop. Plus a few days so you catch up the episodes aired during your marathon.
I think a typical soap opera is an hour, but if you exclude commercials it's more like 40-50. Some might be 30 minutes long (or 20 with commercials removed)
Québec City is in the new Pokémon movie! *.* (well, sort of. Notice the Frontenac Castle at the beginning)

So Juju made me find AKB0048 a few weeks ago by linking Kibou ni Tsuite (the intro song). Looked up the anime, thought to myself, hey I like this. Downloaded last weekend, marathoned last night.
。
。
。
And it was freaking awesome. I would recommend you to listen to some music from AKB48 before watching the anime so you can hum/yell/dance along with the songs (which are amongst the best I have heard in an anime so far). Songs I'd recommend you to listen to are Aitakatta, Heavy Rotation, RIVER, Beginner and Oogoe Diamond.
The anime is also pretty feelsy, I teared up a couple times but that might also be due to being tired and not being able to resist as much. Tho maybe that's just the true feels coming out ~.~
Short story synopsis: Girls become idols to spread hope to planets where entertainment is banned. Not your regular idol anime.
I just started assassination classroom. It's a pretty fun anime and it seems to have a pretty good story so far (2 episodes aired).
Well that's pretty cool they based that movie on Canada, I got pretty excited when I saw this. (Then our local MTV made jokes on poutine and other stereotypical stuff.)
And yeah, AKB0048 is your typical idol anime based on real life group AKB48, but they went a step higher by incorporating some sci-fi in this, and they did it pretty well.
And for Assasination Classroom, I watched an episode, it looks pretty cool.

Hmmm. My friend told me to watch this so I guess I should.
Well I just finished death note (its my favorite) and it was very heavy. The ending was pretty good so I'd definitely recommend it.
Don't look here if you care about watching it:[spoiler]So I was really upset when they killed L. I felt like there was no way for them to end it well without L but they managed to resolve it pretty well. Anyway if you've seen it what was your favorite and stuff?[/spoiler]
So I tend to like heavy animes so here's my modified top 5 list (10 because of ties).
1. Deathnote 2. Attack on titan Psychopass Deadman Wonderland 3. SAO Fullmetal Alchemist RWBY 4. Soul Eater 5. Kaze no Stigma (just started, this will probably change places a few times)Sorry for the revive of an old topic but I felt like sharing.
All I can say is Clannad.
Ugh its not on netflix. I can pretty much only watch anime on my tv which only has netflix. So is it your favorite?

y u no free streaming sites
I use my computer and watch Netflix at the same time and so I can use streaming sites. I'll use them when I get my PC built though.
Dual monitor i guess? :P
I primarily use torrent to watch anime. :P
Anyway this week are the finales of Akatsuki no Yona, Parasyte and Tokyo Ghoul (already aired, great animes), as well as Log Horizon and Maria the Virgin Witch (to air this weekend). With that I'm out of airing shows, looking forward to the next season. ^.^
Yep, the next season began this week, there's quite a few anime that looks pretty interesting, like The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan (basically a spinoff of The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi set in the alternate universe Yuki created where everything is normal, also slightly different style) and Food Wars (it's an ecchi. Yep, you heard right. Cooking. Ecchi.).
Cooking? Ecchi? Whipping cream, asparagus? Oõ.
I'm confused, where they could go ecchi in cooking? Except going full fanservicing out of cooking sessions..
That seems very weird. >.< (and for members who are unfamiliar with anime, Ecchi involves some 18 years old+ material (although for the most part, it's usually just the themes suggesting it, the visuals not showing as much of it as some other more hardcore categories of mangas/anime), so it's best that you avoid watching it if you are not allowed to watch such stuff)
Ecchi is to hentai the exact same way that erotism is to c.
On a side note, over here there's a manga store with 18+ mangas next to popular manga shelves with j ust a small 18+ warning. I hope that parents keep an eye on their kids there... O.O

I guess nobody would bring their parents to buy such stuff... :P
Indeed, plus unless the employee is new and doesn't know much about that manga category, then the cashier will most likely not even sell it anyway.
Just started DanMachi after seeing a literal flood of pics of a character on /r/pantsu. It's pretty good so far (2 episodes aired already), so I'm keeping an eye on it. :D
Beware : In /r/pantsu, there are lots of... pantsu... Ahem. Better shut my mouth for today.
Oh and I prefer reading mangas than watch anime. To have to listen to original voices where everywhere have a high-pitched voice is quite meh for me. I mean, I just ended up on a recent Detective Conan episode (you can see that they're recent when they use smartphones, heh) and... No. Forget listening. I won't, sorry.
In my case it doesn't matter. But in some case the translation is much better in the manga than the anime and I can't follow well if I watch an anime with subs.
Personally I like the Anime / Manga drawing style, but never watched any series, nor read any manga yet. At school I know a few classmates who read manga, but yeah, never started it myself.
So I'm watching Samurai Flamenco and Noragami right now, they're both pretty good. So if anyone has seem them I'd like to know what you think about them.
The Mysterious Cities of Gold season 3 is up now. They're heading towards Japan this time around to find the 3rd city of gold. Also they reverted back to a main song theme similar to the original (pitched exactly like it, and the style is similar to the original)
I won't enter into details, tho, because explaining too much the first episode intro will spoil the ending of the season 2. However, to sum up the first episode, basically, the golden condor goes into self-pilot mode again (which means it's directing them near the next city of gold like the last two times). However, they land on a cliff and soon after they arrive, an earthquake causes the cliff to collapse with the condor on it. Also there's a volcano island in front of where they land (probably what caused the earthquake?) so I wonder if that might be where the city of gold is located...
Anyway now the condor is underwater. And Japanese people don't seem to like strangers back then but again Mendoza wasn't very diplomatic <_<
EDIT: OMG the music is epic (as in more than season 2, and a lot of the tracks are reminsicent of the original season
Inazuma Eleven, best sports anime ever.
So I'm done watching MCoG season 3 and can't wait for season 4 already.
I have to say season 3 is better than season 2. It seems a bit closer in overall style to the original 1982 season, especially music-wise. The only gripe I have is that near the start it seemed a little too fast-paced at times (I think they only stay in the 4th city of gold for one half of an episode), but overall I liked the result.
I won't spoil too much, but basically, they're heading to Japan to find the 3rd city of "gold", which is underwater, to save Esteban's father who was captured. During this season they learn the truth about Ambrosius (the guy who built the airship in the previous season, although for people who watched season 2, I think it was pretty clear already) and after saving Esteban's father the kids (and later their spanish friends, who initially wanted to go back to Spain but then changed their minds) head for the 4th city of gold and realize they must prevent the Mu empire secrets and the cities of gold from falling under the wrong hands. Like in season 1 and 2, once someone pick up an object or treasure from a city of gold, that city shuts itself down and they must escape before being trapped. I also felt that the main characters overall are closer to each others, even the spanish men who used to only think of becoming rich.
In the first season, they traveled to Central and South America. In the second season they traveled to China and now they just traveled to Japan, India and the Middle-East. With a city of gold located in Central America, China, Japan and Middle East, that makes me curious about where the 5th, 6th and 7th ones are (Antarctica? Greenland? Siberia? Alaska? Center of Atlantic Ocean?)

inb4 the Moon or Mars, who knows?
I doubt they'll leave Earth, but we never know. I think all 7 cities of "Gold" are on Earth in the series.
In the event where Atlantis and Mu cooperated together when they were built, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a second underwater City of Gold located around Atlantis in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Otherwise, that location can probably be ruled out. Antactica's only issue is that the city of gold would probably be only possible to visit for about 6 months a year, because the great Condor requires sun light in order to fly. Same for Alaska, Norway or Siberia to a lesser extent.
It would be funny if the last one was located under Barcelone, where Esteban now lives XD. As for the Moon, I think it depends if Mu empire came from space or if they managed to go to space in a distant past or if they made a collab with Atlantis and that Atlantis people managed to go to space or came from there. Also space is a possibility since the cities of gold were built in case of a giant cataclysm.
Also an Atlantis collab is entirely possible because:
[spoiler="DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ SEASON 2 AND 3 SPOILERS!"][spoiler="YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"][spoiler="Second warning in case you don't read caps"]In season 2, it's revealed that Esteban is descendant from Atlantis
In season 3, it's revealed that Zia is descendant of Mu Empire, just like Tao.
Despite Tao and Zia being the only two so far whose origins are from the people of Mu, it's Esteban and Zia who inherited the title of Chosen and the two sun pendants.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]
EDIT: Fun fact: All 4 cities of gold discovered so far are at the same latitude or close. Could this mean that the three remaining ones are on the same line or that the 7th one is in Antartica or the North Pole, forming a pyramid when connecting each cities via lines?

Really ? And what is cooler than soccer matches with killer techniques, giant god spirits, aliens and armors ? :p
Mutant League Hockey? :P That Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game was cool :D
Also Super Mario Strikers :P
That said I can't judge if those are better or not because I never watched those sports anime.
Bu did you watch the six seasons of Inazuma Eleven? (the three first and the three last are separated by 10 years btw)
finally found the time to create a list, too (but I'm pretty sure I forgot something...) ^^

Not yet sadly. And I didn't know that. I am glad that some old series get rebooted. Eg MCoG got rebooted with a 2nd season 30 years after the first season first aired.
Actually I meant 10 years in the anime, not in real life :walrii:
Oh ok lol. I thought it was like MCoG and Doctor Who series revivals. :P
No, actually Ianzuma Eleven is very recent (began in 2008) BTW it was released with a series of games for DS and 3DS :p
Anime FTW :)

Swort Art Online!
Current Season Watch List:
Dragon Maid
Kono Suba
...This season isn't very interesting, if all I'm watching are comedies :/
I'm watching Konosuba with
@aeTIos and Urara.
Sword art online ;D
I suggest recommend demand Shigatsu Wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April), Gin no Saji (Silver Spoon), One Punch Man, and Seven Deadly Sins to everyone here.
Uuuuh right, one punch man as well :D
I second Your Lie in April. It's a good drama.
In addition, here are some general recommendations:
- Fullmetal Alchemist '03 and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, in that order - Both are really good. The first one focuses more on the building of Ed as a character pre-c hitting the fan, but Brotherhood is, in general, better. By watching '03, you feel more for Ed though, through both iterations of the series.
- Hibike! Euphonium - Yes, I'm a band nerd. Yes, this is KyoAni. Yes, the characters look moe af. Yes, there is yuri(baiting). However, all that stuff, even if you don't like it, can be set aside for a really good, true-to-life, down-to-earth drama. Unlike Your Lie in April, which is a more dramatic form of drama (as in, "this is sad but this isn't going to happen to me most likely"), also using musicians, Hibike! tells a story that is closer to something that could happen to anyone. Both are good shows, but if you're not into being depressed 24/7, I suggest Hibike!
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - Shounen for people who don't like shounen. It's 100+ episodes in its current state, but it's also split up into distinct parts, making it easier to watch.
- The Devil is a Part Timer - One of the funniest comedies I've ever watched, in any medium. Satan working at McDonald's, need I say more?
- Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica - Magical girl anime for people who don't like magical girl anime. It's really. freaking. good.
I started watching Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. It's pretty interesting.
Ah yeah, the new KyoAni. Started watching it and also Gabriel DropOut, pretty fun shows.
So I started watching Interviews With Monster Girls. It's pretty good, and it touches on disabilities in a way I really like.
Quote from: wikipediaInterviews With Monster Girls
The story takes place in an age where "Ajin" (demi-human), more casually known as "Demi," have slowly started to become accepted into human society. Tetsuo Takahashi is a biology teacher who ends up teaching three such Demi, hoping to understand more about them while also managing to catch their attention.
(Source: Wikipedia)
so it's about the
Ajin - Demi Human story, maybe a second part...?
Just picked up Seiren, watched 3 episodes, very nice show so far.
