Unofficial Anime Thread XI

Post » Fri Dec 09, 2011 5:19 am

Welcome to the return of the anime thread. After a long break, we have been granted another chance to discuss anime in a centralized manner. Let's not ruin it and show them that their trust is well placed. Now for the rules. There are many new ones, so make sure you read them carefully:

1. This is for the discussion of all things anime and manga. Naturally this allows for discussion of related topics, but discussion is primarily about Japanese animation and manga. If you are not a fan of it, then this is not the place for you.

2. Be courteous of others and use spoiler tags when appropriate. This applies to all content both old and new.

3. Only anime/manga legally available in North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand are allowed to be discussed.

4. Discussion of episodes/chapters that have yet to be released in these regions is strictly forbidden

5. Discussion of imported Asian DVDs is forbidden due to it being impossible to differentiate between someone importing a DVD and illegally downloading.

6. Discussing or requesting where you can download anime/manga is completely forbidden. This is illegal and clearly against the forum rules. There are some stores that legitimately sell anime online, such as iTunes and Funimation's Download-to-Own, and you may mention these services in the thread.

7. Discussing/Linking to episodes uploaded to Youtube (and other user-uploaded video sites) by persons other than official license holders is completely forbidden. This too is against forum rules.

8. Content unsuitable for minors is forbidden. This being a PG-13 forum, such content is not allowed. This applies to images and other linked content: no nudity and no extreme violence/gore. Discussion of these more "mature" series is ok, just don't link to any images of the more mature content. And obviously no pormography, discussion or linked content.

9. All forum rules are in effect (ie: no trolling, flamebaiting, etc)

10. Please report any offenses when you see them.

11. Anything anyone is uncertain about should be asked via PM prior to posting.

My Clannad blu-rays arrived yesterday ^_^ It's the third time I've bought season 1 of Clannad -- what makes this extra-interesting is I don't even have a blu-ray player yet :P. Also got Oreimo limited edition, so I'm gonna burn through that soon.

In accordance with the subtitle, I, Defron, hid cute little carvings of starfish throughout this thread. Now, now, don't panic as there are enough for everyone, but those who want lots better search hard, and there are some with my autograph. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b195/DEFRON/Screencaps/starfish_heat.jpg!

Look for sales. I picked up all three Full Metal Panic seasons on BluRay for something like $15 each when Amazon had a sale way back.

Too tsun. She has literally the greatest brother in all history and she abuses him nonstop. And not even in a sixy way. :sadvaultboy:

What should I watch tonight? I don't feel like picking so I'll have you guys do it for me :P
1. Strike Witches- I'm about 2 episodes in and I just haven't gotten back to watching it
2. Azumangah Daioh- I haven't started this yet but I have it ready to watch at anytime
3. Spice and Wolf season 1- Watched the first 4 episodes one day when I was sick, never got back to finish it.
4. Chobits- I'm like halfway through it, just never finished it

So I ask you, which of these should I spend tonight/the weekend watching and why?

If you like the slice-of-life genre Azumanga Daioh is pretty much the one that started it all, before this moe craze started. Definitely a must watch if that's your type of series.

Chobits starts out light-hearted but it does get more involved, with some plot twists thrown in later on. A little too much fanservice for a romance anime IMO, but still very good.

Can't comment on the other two since I haven't completed them yet (actually just started Strike Witches this week), but out of the two I've seen it's a toss up depending if you prefer the slice-of-life or romance genre.

Shigurui is a brilliant samurai anime/manga.

Unfortunately, the anime stopped after one series, leaving it only half finished.

Can anyone tell me the name of the song in episode five of Trigun. It starts at fifteen minutes in, during the scene where Vash is saving the bartenders from the rubble, and the Nebraska family is berating him. I can't seem to find the song anywhere!
