Azusa Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 which one? there are a few, and i've heard that most of them suck. :p errrr to my knowledge there isn't a single bad Macross then again if you hang out in places with a high level of Gundam fans then i can understand how you may have "heard" that but really Macross is the only post 70's animé that's gotten close to the bar set by Uchuu senkan Yamato .

shakey Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 I've been pretty absent from this recently. Been holding off on catching up with bleach and naruto and gantz lately... but finally did it today. Gantz is just getting crazy. I believe they are going to end it with a very shocking but not shocking - EVERYONE DIES! - type of ending... Naruto is still just amazing with its current story and battle. A huge twist was just revealed in the latest manga. Really blew my mind, and I am very very eager to find where this is all heading. Bleach was losing it for a bit, but now its finally speeding up. Getting to see some good fights showcasing how much stronger the captains and vice captains have become over the last 17 months. Really eager to see more of these fights unfold. Bleach Anime has finally ended with the filler arch, though it was really bad. But it has now started on the manga path, but it seems to be fleshing it out a whole lot more. I think we will be pleased with this. Also, seems like more blood in this new starting anime arc. Bleach first started off showing blood, but after a while, started doing mainly black blood or only wound blood. I hope they get back to the awesome showers we saw in the last one.. because I want a blood bath when Kenpachi cuts that big dude in half :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamushroom Veteran Posted October 15, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 15, 2011 watched em both. Eureka Seven was really good, NGE I watched when I was first getting into anime and I didnt like it, probably just looking for something else at the time. You could always try out the Rebuild of Evangelion. It's a remake in feature length film form without budget troubles and a depressed director.

rustix Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Wow, it's been a long time since I visited this board. For some reason I haven't received any email notifications for this thread (again) since around mid-end September. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter of Naruto. I hope they reveal a few more details regarding the twist last week in the next chapter. As for Naruto Shippuuden, I wish they'd finish with the fillers already! :angry: One Piece has finally reached the post 2-year time jump in the anime and I'm looking forward to seeing the current manga being animated (although I know it's gonna be a while :rolleyes: ) I also started watching Fate/Zero. So far it looks interesting but I'm wondering whether I should watch the older ones first.... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadishTM Veteran Posted October 20, 2011 Veteran Share Posted October 20, 2011 Been a while since I popped into this thread .... Updates .... I went to another anime all-nighter at the beginning of the month! The films screened were - "Jin-Roh - The Wolf Brigade" (you can truly appreciate the hand-drawn animation on the big screen), "Tekken: Blood Vengeance" (the plot was complete fail but the the friggin' hilarious and camp English dub saved it :laugh:), the most enjoyable and vivid "Welcome to THE SPACE SHOW", the lulzy "TRIGUN: Badlands Rumble" and the kinda long "Eden of The East: Paradise Lost". I've watched all the the films apart from "Tekken: Blood Vengeance" previously, so going to this was really for a friend who's never experienced an all-nighter and they enjoyed the whole night (apart from "Eden of The East: Paradise Lost", which will leave you confused if you haven't seen the previous films/series) :p Earlier this week, I watched Makoto Shinkai's new film "Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo" at the BFI. And wow! He's raised the bar high again for producing beautiful, animated visuals. I was in complete awe scene after scene of gorgeous backdrops :| :drool: I thought the plot was pretty great alongside this tho, it won't appeal to everyone but I found it engaging. A immensely deep and fantasy/mythical-based film with many Ghibli elements scattered throughout; particularly from Laputa (Shinkai's favorite film), Nausicaa and Princess Mononoke as well as portraying the grief of losing someone close to you and how cruel the world can be, what said person means to you and the lengths you'll go to bring them back in your life .... from the afterlife. It's even got some blood, guns and fighting .... Yeah, so no doubt it's a complete departure from his earlier works with his usual formula but this new film goes to show he's got great talent and can think outside the box. I hope he continues this for his future works (Y) Oh and a nice surprise (that I didn't expect) was that he was at the screening of the film. I personally thought he was in the US, promoting the film there. It's the 2nd time I've seen him in person but unfortunately didn't get to meet him like I did with the screening of "5CM Per Second" a few years back. He came on stage later after the film screened (with his translator) for an interview with the director of the cinema. Talking about how this film came about, him living in London, learning English (for a person who has lived here for just a year, his conversational English is damn good!), his creative processes with regards to producing "Hoshi wo Ou Kodomo" and how his cats betrayed him once he went back home to Japan :laugh: So that's all from me, till next time! :D (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakey Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 I've been absent from the discussion for a bit, but haven't stopped keeping up with my main shows. I haven't been watching the anime versions of bleach or naruto, as they are both in slow areas or filler. But the manga version of each is great. Bleach is starting to reveal some secrets of the past, so I am amped to learn more. Naruto is still in the huge ninja war, and the battle just gets more and more intense. On a plus side, yesterday, I think I got my GF interested in naruto. Was showing her some FAS RO DAH funny vids people made, and came across a naruto one. She commented on how well the animation was. So I showed her the fight between naruto vs sasuke as kids in Naruto, as well as the fight between Naruto and Pain in Shippuuden. I explained to her the stories, how the characters had developed, and showed her some AMV's that had songs she liked, and explained how the meaning of the song actually expressed the feelings of the characters. So, we got to watching the first few episodes of Naruto last night :) Going to be a long journey, as there are roughly 220 episodes to just get up to Shippuuden, and then what, another 220 to catch up to now lol.

Duffydemon Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I just started watching naruto last week, currently on episode 108, where sasuke and naruto fight for first time. Waiting for one piece episode for 1 week is annoying. And One piece manga doesn't interests me at all, i like action in motion, reading manga only tells you about story. Friends recommended me to watch Cowboy bebop too, so kinda excited about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo003 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I remember the good'ol days :) took me something like 4 days to watch over 170+ episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
