What Anime Are You Currently Watching / Recently Finished?

Freezing gets better as it goes (I watched the dub and am waiting for the dub of 2nd season) and at the end it's really good. Shame the momentum couldn't stay due to having to wait for 2nd season to air subbed and now waiting for dub. That said, if u watch the whole s1, then u can watch the ovas as, they're really separate to the story entirely and in fact, contradict the story at times. Not to mention are, overly ecchi and with fan service. (They weren't that bad though imo)

 

- Finished RWBY Season 2. Overall better than season 1 I'd say, if only marginally. Also while all the fights were pretty cool in the last episode, I felt like almost nothing was accomplished compared to the finale of season 1. Wish there was more to it than that. Still fun though. 7/10
- Half way through Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. It's a step up from the problems I had with Stardust Memory, but still not particularly interesting yet. 5/10
- Episode 5 of Fate/stay night: UBW. Still as sexy as ever. Rider fight scene was brilliantly-directed, albeit short. 9/10
- Finished Hellsing Ultimate. Honestly, all the wait turned out to be a big letdown for me. What started out as some fun bloody action just got too grandiose and messy for its own good over time. The best fight scenes were all at the beginning of the anime and the later episodes felt like the choreography got incredibly lazy and unimaginative. Also some scenes were just stupid, like (minor spoiler ahead) Integra losing her eye for pure melodrama's sake. She had ample time to just pop a cap in the Major's head before he shot her, or call on Seras to finish him off, but instead she slowly walks up to him just to look like a badass, meanwhile giving him all the time in the world to pull out his pistol and shoot her. 6/10 only because the first half of the series started out so good, otherwise I would rate it even lower.

 

Well i started by asking him which genre he wanted to watch, from there i narrowed it down to a few classes of that genre this case action: I gave him dark action(Attack on Titan) Comdey action (Needless) and Over the top action (This one i was going to have as DxD). We started with needless and it was about the point when eve got the drink on her he turned to me laughing. I'll quote the convo we had:
Bowser:It had to be white....
Me: Yep, but you ain't seen nothing yet.
Bowser: Do we end up seeing boobs?
Me: Kinda in this one, but not as much as the other one
Bowser: Which one?
Me: The over the top one
Bowser: GOD DAMN IT WHY DIDN'T I PICK THAT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

He is okay with fanservice and has about a normal tolerance of it, I however have become burnt out so i may be judging his tolerance too low

Yes one tried the door bu gave up the crowbar guy actaully had sense and started beating on the windows. However I find it funny, in some situations the school pretty much collapses and in others it's Welcome To Fort Knoks!

Time for long winded story and also possible theory time!

Spoiler

Yes and No, the moment Namoi dropped her ID bout 50 red flags popped up in my mind so i knew it something was going to happen. What I thought would happen was Who ever's piece of paper is used to get back THAT person goes back even if they are dead. Meaning i for saw Satoshi and Ayumi being in the real world why Namoi was stuck despite using Satoshi's piece. The other thought i had was it would transport the dead person's body instead of her seeing as you are 'linked' to your piece

Now for Theory time: Corpse Party seems to run off of the Multiverse theory. To save time I'll do just a quick bit on said theory for every decision or action there is a univere for that said action, if you go left there is another universe parallel and you went right instead. Well if you look, what if there was an infinite number of 'closed spaces' in Corspe party. as there are constantly people being taken there it would only make sense. Plus is you literaly everyone was in a different 'closed space' but managed to cross over to a different space. Imangine a 100 transpernces of the same image, looking from above you would see the exact same thing all the way through. But let's say we spaced the out vertically and drew lines connecting the transparneces, from above you still wouldn't notice but if you ended up on one of those lines you would 'change' to a different transparnce. I think Corpse party works in the same way, as you see various shot of the same location but in each shot it's different. In one it's almost pristine condition while others it's damn near broke down but they are exactly the same spot! best example i could give is the candle you see in OVA 1 Namoi almost falls on it while running out of the nurses office. But in another space you see Ayumi placing the candle down as a marker. This also leads me to believe that The events we see aren't happening over a short 1 hour or too of finding everyone and meeting up but are all happening literally at the same time. Another example is ball hair girl, she gets destoried by the ghost in OVA 2 or 3 (idr) but we see her body in OVA 1 right off the bat we just don't realize it.

Anyway I'm rambling and need a second view point before i go further

Been trying to watch Kill me baby but for some reason it won't load....... As for lucky star THAT is one of 2 that i've dropped, the second being the art style lazy train wreck that is clannad

 

Ok
EDIT: sorry didnt get to finish..... Thats my only issue with the series, the ecchi/fan serivice. I was expecting it but I feel its too much.

 

aw another one who dont watch anime just because of the animation.... *sigh*

 

I'm going by the cute/desire to protect definition of moe (exactly how many definitions of moe are there?) so yes, but only white/kind Sachiko. When she is red/pyscho I'm more of nope run away. It's kinda like a Rena or Yuno situation, very cute and lovable up until the point they go crazy then the moe is thrown out the window for Yandere mode

Lucky star i dropped because after the first episode i was asking what did i just watch? Four girls talking about food they like and how to eat it.

As for Clannad it has my hate because of personal reasons. Once upon a time i would draw my own characters each character i made was unique and no two looked alike unless i was creating a character based around my self. I realize animation is a time consuming process but to see carbon copies of characters as the main cast seems extraordinarily lazy to me. They only thing making each character their own is the voice cast (which happen to include several favorite dub actors of mine so I SHOULD love this). I enjoy alot of animation but when you get lazy on me and do something like that i don't like it all that well to keep with it

 

well lucky star is understandable. i get the same feeling as you on that episode. but that didnt ditter me cause im a completionist. xD

now about clannad, how should i say it, if its their animation style then i wont go whining about it. for me, its like their signature that for when you see a new show, youll know the creator right away without searching the net. with what you said that characters from different shows must look unique when made by the same creator, i cant argue with you on that since its your preference. i just only cant stand people that will say on the spot "dude i will not watch that shit because the animation is shit."

 

Hate to break it to you but, the ecchi/fan service is QUITE low really, sure their clothes get ripped while fighting and sure there is an ep or 2 that has a way too much fanservice thing but, all of that is happening for legit reasons. Example, the clothes get ripped while fighting and it is shown when they get ripped, so it's like rl and thus doesn't bother me. The "prank" which is one of the things I mentioned earlier is also legit because it was a prank/revenge and thus is more acceptable even if forcing someone into such an outrageous dress is questionable. Even so, sure it has moments but it's all typically legit reasons. I look at it as it betters the exp. because it makes it more realistic which further helps us to bond and get to know the chars. Now, if u REALLY STILL THINK that Freezing has too much ecchi/fanservice then I DARE YOU to watch We without wings. I gave it 3 eps a chance and NOTHING but fan service shots, forget ecchi, it was all pure fanservice and NONE OF IT was at all funny, not even the boy randomly pulling down the waitress' skirt while she's working because he didn't like her. Compare that kind of fanservice to Freezings' ecchi/fan service and I doubt u'd have a prob with it anymore.

P.s., I REALLY don't rec u watch We without wings but if u do, don't say I didn't warn u. lol

Ginger, maybe I can help u to watch it and actually GIVE the anime a chance. See, Many animes have chars that look like other chars from other animes. (Example, Rei from Evangeleon) Heck they'll even act like them in a way too! And then to a lesser extent but u will find it if u closly look hard enough. many anime also have chars that look very similar to each other, Clannad just has more of that than most do. That said, I will say you're wrong that they're only distinguishable via their VA. They have their own personality too u know and, Clannad (Combined with After Story) is a GREAT anime. (Understatement) Plus, it makes everyone cry. (Minus the Mafiacow but we won't go there. )

So really, you're missing out on a great (Understatement) anime here and who knows what other anime u r missing out on all because of your personal reason there. Hope this helps u to change your mind and, just don't blame me if u start noticing chars who look like the other chars in the same anime more and more now.

 

@Natsuru-san I think you misunderstood me, I don't have a problem with characters from other shows looking alike, In fact if you go back a bit i mentioned the fact that Koko and Tiaga look and older version of the other. Even acting similar is fine so long as it isn't EXACTLY the same. My problem with clannad is the fact that the characters ARE the same. Same height, hair styles, body types, faces all the same. To me that's a big deterrent from watching as i have zero investment as who character A is if they look the same as B. What's even more so getting me is C, D, and E look like triples but are just classmates. siblings i could understands and even clones (Railgun and Index being the main one here) I'm willing to over look as they are meant to be that way. Extras like in Baka and Test being faceless if frown on but won't rip them as they are just that extras, nameless characters you would pass by.

I don't mean to sound bashing if I do but I'm going to stay away from Clannad. Unless of course a certain cow would want to do another trade? Watcha say @Mafiacow

 

Completed
Steins;Gate: Soumei Eichi no Cognitive Computing
I must say, the last ep I nearly rated 0.5 lower than the last 3 es but in the end, it got the same score due to what the ep's moral/story/feeling was about and such and that ladies & gentlemen, is where I give the whole anime a rating which is, 7.5, same rating as all 4 eps. Now, don't be fooled u nay sayers. lol Sure I rated the main S;G series a perfect 10.0 but, one can't compare a short 3-4 min 4 ep mini series and give it the same rating as one that has a TON more time, that and, most anime I rate a 7.0 so this one got 0.5 points higher than most.

I would at u Okabe but, sadly I forget your user name now and more sadly, u haven't responded to a single @ so, I see no point really. lol Instead,I'll ask everyone this, is anyone watching finishing or planning to watch this mini series? Esp if u already saw the anime itself.

Anyway, now to wait for the dub.

@ThatRandomGinger I see and I gathered that and figured that was the case for the rest u said but, too out of it to think anymore, might come up with a response to that later if I can but, as for the certain Mafiacow u mentioned. AHAHAHAHAHA! He hated Clanned, and more so Nagisa (The heartless villain! lol) so I highly doubt he'll do a deal like that...

p.s. Ima have to think of another way to address u than simply Ginger when @ing u since, it @ the wrong ginger. lol

 

Sorry, I guess ecchi was the wrong word to use. Anyways, what I meant to say was that the nudity is excessive and/or unnecessary. It seems that every time they get into a fight, boobs always tend to fly out lol I usually don't mind that but when there is an intense battle going on and that happens, it kind of kills it for me. Like I said, I'm usually for it but I feel like there's a time and a place for that much "plot" to be shown lol Maybe I haven't seen enough of this type (genre) of anime to understand it since the closest I can think of is Sekirei and that was way more tamed than this. I guess I'm learning new things about my anime preferences.

P.S.Hmmmmmm...We Without Wings.....

 

Perhaps they all already tried, but quickly found it didn't do shit. Also, I'm pretty sure the difference in building strength is due to keeping the victims where they need to be, rather than letting them run rampant and find a way out.

Spoiler: Corpse Party spoiler talk

Ah okay then, so you didn't expect the delicious bad end?~ Oh, and in regards to the dropped ID, I think that's due to the fact that Corpse Party is based on a videogame series, so the ID and paper were probs lying there as a method to avoid a bad end.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's how it is. I vaguely remember people running into the same room and it being completely different. Btw, who do you mean by "Ball hair girl"? Do you mean Seiko, the girl voiced by the one who does Kuroko from Raildex?
Also, stop saying "OVA 1, 2, 3, 4". There are two Corpse Party OVAs; the first one was a short censored thing that served to give backstory for the relationships between characters, and the second one was the four episode one in uncensored glory.

Ah okay okay okay. That makes sense. I went for Naruto dub 'cause I wanted to extract any minor nostalgia I could from when I saw it on TV as a kid. I'm swapping to sub come Shippuden.
Teehee. What makes you think I'm a dub-watching streamer just because I'm a member of this forum?~

Yup. Just need to catch up to everything before I post 'cause I don't want spoilers, especially for Akame. (I say that, despite the fact that a uni friend spoiled Chelsea for me...)
Oh, and how many episodes did you say that first chunk was that makes it hard to get into?

Shit taste. Sacchan is all of teh moe.

Quick question: I haven't seen Freezing, but, why does it sound like you're saying that ecchi isn't ecchi if there's a reason for it happening? Can the same not be said about HOTD?

Lol. Normal Clannad was average, and AfterShit was shit. Worst KyoAni out of ten.

Teehee. (Then please stop saying "everyone", given that "everyone" has myself in it. )

Oh no no no no no. I would NOT do that to you. I'm not THAT sadistic. Clannad has the only role that I actually like your shitty VA in, but, she gets minor screentime, and is only one of two likeable characters for me. Do not recommend.
Wanna start Akame ga Kill doe?~ It's totes amaze~~~

Teehee. With good reason.
I'm tempt to get around to making a meme that I thought of while watching it. It's apparently "sick". :3

What I've watched since last:
Akame ga Kill. Ep 17.
Zankyou no Terror. Ep 9.

 

@Natsuru-san Sorry I haven't been responding. I have not seen the S;G specials yet and I dunno when I will get around to them, but I do intend to see them eventually.

 

Akame ga Kill
Chaika S2
Twintails bitch!
SAO2 harem redux
DaitoShokan
That future one with the mysterious white haired time traveling girl.
Trinity Seven

 

I would actually be the sadist here as i have to find something that is equally painful for you to watch if i watch Clannad. Also as for VA don't go there..... we know what happens and how this ends so don't go there.

You realize you created a loop yes, If i don't like Saa0chan i have shit taste but even if i do, i still have shit taste for liking her. Ya dun goof cow

Spoiler: Corpse party stuff

I said yes and no! I knew something bad as going to happen at the return trip i just thought it would be to Naomi. CP is based on the video game but went and did wiki research on it and no Satochi did pick up the ID that's where he got the paper from. And you do realize that that is and Anime Only Ending. There are like 7 dif ending if you go by the games, some of which conflict whit what happens as certain people have to be alive

I literally mean ball hair girl, the one that is moving away that glasses dude like (BIG FUCKING SURPRISE BOUT THAT PAIR UP, not). And no i remember Seiko's name as she is first to die (technically second as we see ball hair girls splattered remains before Seiko's hanging we just don't know it's her). Also SEIKO IS KURKO?!?!?No, no no NO. Kurko's VA was horrible, who ever this was did a really good job fitting the personality. You do realize that's what they are called right, go to any site trying to find them it will read OVA1 etc etc

Edit: @Mafiacow was just looking over the Mono series and dafuq are you trying to do!? this shit looks move confusing than haruhi's broadcast order!!!!!!!! please give a timeline before i even consider watching it

 

No, as in making you watch Clannad would be too cruel, even by my standards, and there's not really any reason for us to punish each other.
Oh, don't worry, I wasn't meaning for that. I just couldn't remember her name at the time. But I thought this would have made you happy; that there's a single role that I think she actually sounds good?

Good taste for liking her, and shit taste for not liking her enough. X3

Spoiler: Corpse Party spoiler talk

Ah okay. Will and Katie gave me one of the Corpse Party games around Easter time, but I still haven't played it...

Oh, right right right! Forgot she had those hair things.
Teehee. I liked Seiko. She was amusing.
Yeah, no. Same VA. I recognised it right off the bat, and then confirmed online. And stop bashing her, it's a good voice.
*goes to external harddrive with two different copies of Corpse Party, retaining original name from download* Yep. Both have the first OVA listed as OVA 1, and second OVA listed as OVA 2 Ep #.

The order EVERYONE is supposed to watch it (not like Haruhi; this order doesn't confuse) is Bakemonogatari, Nisemonogatari, Nekomonogatari Kuro, Monogatari Second Season, Hanamonogatari.
In chrono order though, Nekomonogatari Kuro, Bakemonogatari, Nisemonogatari, Monogatari Second Season, Hanamonogatari.

Today:
Akame ga Kill. Ep 18.

 

I don't really recall a whole lot of nudity (E.g. nips shows, below showing and to a lesser extent but still mildly counts I suppose, whole butt showing) Sure you'll get a lot of boobage exposed but I don't recall any nips showing. I've still seen a lot worse/better in the ecchi/fanservice department though. As for the battles, so, it's perfectly fine if oh say Goku's (DBZ) shirt is ripped, torn, blasted or simply taken off but if a girl gets thir clothes ripped it poses a problem? My advice is, ignore the "impulses" and enjoy the fights for what they are, fights. Well Sekerei was a fairly good one to compar it too but I do feel Sekerei didn't handle it as well as Freezing did. Though I recall Sekerei having more comedy but less action.

Whelp, don't say I didn't warn you, esp if u dropped or disliked Lucky Star. Enjoy the pointless constant talking (To WWW's credit though, at least it's not ONLY about food : P ) only to have fan service shoved in your face here and there and then convo ends with new chars shown and more of the same and then repeat and repeat and finally, go back to the bunch we first saw and repeat the whole cycle again. Just remember, don't come crying to me when u end up dropping it, feeling like it was a waste of time and more so, actually crying. lol (Jk on that last one there lol)

Ecchi can mean many different forms and the meaning differs from person to person but then what is fan service? Ecchi too? no lol Those are two different tags/genre imo. (WHy else have two different names if they mean the same thing?) Fan service is, pointless as in, the only reason why it is in anime is to "satisfy" the audience and of course I am talking about the male audience and lesbian audience too for the most part. When it's executed in anime, we get random scenes usually akin to the COUNTLESS panty shots shoved in my face around ep 7 of HOTD which only service to "please" the audience but if this was happening irl it wouldn't happen. I don't mind stuff that happens in anime that don't happen irl but it HAS to have a purpose or it is pointless and simply "pleasing" or rather, trying to use said moments to boost their anime's sells and ruining a part (or all in some cases) of a char's, well, being is where I draw the line. Now on the other hand, if a scene like this has comedy to it, it's not just their to "please" the falls and to boost sells but actually is funny and can at least make u chuckle but preferably laugh then, it isn't pointless. There are however two types here which is where they split, u have the actual fan service (Which is harder to explain really so I'm not going to try on this one) and then u have the ecchi which, IN MOST CASES is a perverted form of comedy. It has a point to it, it isn't tasteless and is funny usually. Sure, you'll get plenty of pointless moments here and there that service no purpose but it's whether they go too far or there's too many of them, esp near each other that makes a big difference. (For me anyway)

And, to hopefully better answer your quick question, ecchi is ecchi but fan service is fan service. Both can have a point to them and both also don't have points to them at times but fan service often has no point to it and again, it's too complicated for me to explain how fanservice is different from ecchi anymore than I attempted to above.

I do recall a certain Bleach Opinion meme posted for u Mafia. And when was that? Oh, right after your "comments" about Clannad/AS after u'd finished watching them. Besides, nearly the whole planet disagree with u and u yourself have admitted u take sides with the ones who have the less majority. But again, Bleach meme here. lol

Oh no, everyone is everyone but then there's the lone Mafiacow who doesn't count in the everyone. (See above) I'd say "So, your objection is over ruled" but, u didn't object. Tehe

Mafia, a meme is a popular wide spread ensation that is on the enet. Any Clannad "meme" u attempt to make won't ever get popular given your opinion on said anime and given the majority loves clannad. Plus, if it has spoilers, it is less likely to succeed and all you'd be doing is ruining a great anime for others. (Think how u'd feel if there was an anime that the majority hated and called shit but you love and don't think it's shit and someone spoiled it for you before you watched it thus ruining some of your love for it)

I see, and now I's remembers your name. lol (Was super tired, couldn't think straight barely) There's only 4 eps and they are only 3-4 mins long each. I'm sure u can find the time to each at least one a day or at east 1 a week. They're worth it imo and the rest of what I said.

Oh my! I bet u'd enjoy that wouldn't u? Jk, but that is how I read it at first. lol Well, Mafia may not care but I do! SO, what anime u want me to watch in exchange for Clannad/After Story? (And by Clannad, I mean all of it except the movie, thus u cannot watch the movie in place of normal Clannad, though if u decide to watch the movie after seeing the rest of this series go right ahead but, the movie isn't a part of the deal so that's up to u lol) I'll see what u give me before the deal is final and if u even care to do the deal to begin with. xD

And the Mafia wonders why I don't want to watch the sequel to the 1st one. lol I'd have to put up with an anime I have no interest in plus also have to watch the rest of the series after watching the 1 (ONE) season of that series I care to even see. lol Though I will ask, the order u just gave, is that how it's listed on MAL for prequel to sequel etc.?

 

Haha i knew it xD

I cant fully remember what happened at the start of Shippuuden and when exactly the important things happen. What have you seen so far?

Use spoiler tags to prevent spoiling anyone who doesn't wanna know.

Also, sorry i still havent replied to the pm's. I haven't had time at all and i'm 1 week behind on my animes. Haven't seen last weeks OP and Diamond no Ace either.

 

Ok, now I see. I think you watched the censored version and I'm watching the uncensored one. In this one you get to see everything from the waist up. I don't mind the clothes getting ripped and torn but like I said I just feel like the nudity kind of kills the mood of the intense fight, unlike Sekirei where they would at least cover themselves. Also, COME ON you can't compare DBZ with this since a guy with shirt off ≠ girl with shirt off but I know what you are trying to say. Anyways, I've gotten used to it so I'll leave it at that.

Well good thing I liked Lucky Star but really?.... It can't be that bad but if I hate it I promise I won't hold you responsible......maybe lol
