LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted January 11, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 11, 2010 i had watched anime for more than ten years by the time elfen lied came out and i watched it. I started watching anime in the early 90's around 94 or so. if you think that is a gorefest watch Gantz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedxyz Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 if you think that is a gorefest watch Gantz. I didn't think Gantz was that bad at all. I though its violent was more relevant since it didn't have little girls go around killing special force soldiers right and left because of their emotional problem/imbalance. Ane-Doki cancelled...now this sucks. :angry: It might be because of its fantastic story. Ah, the dream of 13! Kouta is our normal everyday boy, living with his fun-loving workaholic father. Lusting after the school idol in his class, playing games with his friend, there's nothing especially noticeable about him. But one day his father has to transfer to Sapporo for a time and mysteriously appear a girl who volunteers to be Kouta's live in caretaker. And what a girl!Everything about her is mysterious: her mysterious incredibly showy body, her mysterious interest in our boy, her mysterious need to sleep in the same room... Doki, doki...

Azusa Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 It still doesn't excuse the poor plot twist and rubbish dialogue (in the manga) and the team's attempt to connect their two main franchises through parallel worlds. perhaps shojo manga isn't for you?

deletedxyz Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 perhaps shojo manga isn't for you? Kare Kano is one of my favorite manga/anime series. xxxholic isn't classified as Shoujo, neither is Tsubasa Chronicle. It is sad to see that Shounen simply means average guys, who attain an x power with several power ups, fight "evil" and are cheered on by "cute girls" who are as dumb as rocks while Shoujo means guys who are drawn as girls and "understand" every "problem" the unremarkable female protagonist a la Twilight. The manga was funny, not a piece of crap like Naruto. :rofl: There are too many manga and anime that follow the same story, such as Video Girl Ai and Dear.S.

deletedxyz Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I just watched Kara no Kyoukai 4 & 5. I have no idea how this series garners a 8-9/10 rating for seven of its movies. This series is a compilation of signature TYPE-MOON characters with a dash of rape, supernatural events and angst with plenty of attempts at symbolism and self importance with choir music that does not match the fantastic animation at all. The Kara no Kyoukai series is what happens when Elfen Lied meets Sola and Tsukihime (a TM anime series I enjoyed thoroughly). There is absolutely no intelligence required to to enjoy this movie's plot complemented by predictable twists. 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udedenkz Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I would need to re-watch all seven movies to criticize that one. It seems flawless the first time I seen it. Although, it is hard to understand at times because it assumes sometimes that the connection between a and b can be derived by whoever is watching. The music used is excellent also. The first and the six one had really awesome music that helped tell the story, set the mood. #6 was a side story, but what really helped it was the great music. I also like the imagination of the creator which is evident in all the movies, it seems unique and I like all the dark magic and whatnot. Another major positive over other anime, is the lack of the comic / cuteness relief or actually the need for it. Such as say in Elfen Lied which has two modes - cute and innocent and holy **** violent. This one doesn't have comedy, cuteness. It doesn't pride itself on shock scenes as it keeps the same and doesn't swing the mood up and down as much... it is quite easy to watch - relaxed I would say. The animation is also excellent, some fight scenes are simply gorgeous. For me this is God Tier. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berserk87 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Just finished episode 3 of Aoi Bungaku, seems really good, not "master piece" status yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedxyz Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) I just watched Patlabor 2. HOLY $@!#! It'sthe best movie I've seen since Ghost in the Shell: Innocence. Every Ghost in the Shell, mecha, military, sci-fi, thriller fan NEEDS to watch this intellectual masterpiece. I haven't enjoyed a movie this much, both Hollywood and anime, since Ghost in the Shell. This movie shows how brilliant, talented and visionary Production I.G. was before it released Ghost in the Shell in 1995. Gits and Patlabor were directed by the same person, Mamoru Oshii. It's an absolute shame that this masterpiece has been forgotten even though it was released 17 years ago. It can single handedly beat 99% of all animated movies out there with no contest.

I suggest watching them in chronological order to fully appreciate the characters' backgrounds. @Masked Forever: There's also a 3rd movie which is direct by both Takuji Endo and Fumihiko Takayama. I'll be watching it tonight. :D HD resolution ftw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedxyz Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Does anyone like the new MAL layout? I wonder how much rage Chu-Bra!! would inflict upon you :rofl:Radish™ O_O I just checked it out. It probably is one of the most vapid things I've seen. I wouldn't be bothered by loli but the sheer audacity of the producers to not give the loli characters some brains for the sole reason to appeal to fanboys is creepy and disturbing. Chu... Bra... The sheer marketing genius to advertise this {insert predictable negative adjective} show to its target demographic (lolicon) revolts me. The voice acting makes my ears bleed.
