Stiens;Gate is amazeballs.

I'll leave this here for when you're done with the main series: http://animeshow.tv/Steins-Gate-Soumei- ... episode-1/

I have that on my list of anime to watch. But its been a good month or so since I last watched any. Football Manager has grabbed my attention too much

The list of anime I have seen etc

[Potato-Jim]

Yeah, 1-6 were really funny and kinda interesting, but not immediately gripping like some animes.

But after that, it all starts kicking off and going batshit and then when I'm drawn in.

And then after around episode 12-14 the feels start kicking in and the show has your heart in a vice for the rest of the season.


Apparently it was universally hated in Japan at first though, which is odd. Maybe because of how...typically western it feels?


Also quite enjoying season 2 of Sword Art: Online. I initially watched it dubbed and this is the first anime I watched subbed, but it's still pretty good!

I think we had a discussion about this in the movie thread, but I can't deal with dubbed.

The japanese voice actor was integral to my enjoyment of Steins;Gate. The guy could switch his tone and approach for every situation.

Also, finished Steins;Gate. That was amazing, and god damned what a lovely ending. Heartwarming as fuck yo.

Glad you liked it! I watched it dubbed and I loved it personally.

Currently watching Parasyte, which is great if you like fucked up gore. Highly recommended. Mostly well written, apart from most of the characters being boring as shit.

Also trying out Mushishi and Fate/Stay Night too. Mushishi seems pretty engaging so far!

[Jobdone]

I do like fucked up gore, so I'll give that a download.

Also nearly finished Sword Art Online. It started amazing, but I haven't really liked the second arc. Kinda slowed things down a bit too much for me.

EDIT: Scrap that, its hitting some heavier shit now that's pretty interesting.

EDIT: 2 and a half episodes to go.

I know there's a season 2 so I assumed this last 2 and a half will involve

asuna getting her memories wiped by the evil guy just before she goes back into the real world and kirito being all noooooooo pls i love u and his cousin being all "apparently it's not weird that we're cousins, but brother and sister was weird, hey lets bang" and then season 2 they have to go into another virtual world for reasons.

The Fairy MMO part of season 1 was a bit boring, yeah, but the villain made it compelling as fuck to watch (because that guy was rapey as fuck and I wanted him to die horribly).


Season 2 has the exact same structure. Starts off fucking class, and then the momentum dropped massively. Overall it's a good show, with a fantastic premise...but by god the characters are so under-written.


Also, 2 episodes in to Mushi-shi and I can confirm that it is gorgeous in every way. Fate/Stay Night's first episode was really, really boring so I don't know if I can stick with it.

yeah, the guy was fucking mental D: nice enough ending. vaguely intrigued what trhey can pull with season 2. and kiritos a bit of dick for continuing to lead on his cousin. who is weirdly okay with fucking a family relation. WE'RE NOT SIBLINGS, WE CAN FUCK NOW

Oh his dickheadness gets worse. I also recommend watching a couple of the 2nd villain scenes dubbed because his voice fitted it so well it made him seem even creepier.

Yeah, that totally gets ignored in the second season. Basically, the second half of the first season is ignored.

Mm, the first couple of episodes were slow to get going, but it gets better. I'm at episode 8, and there's been a few good fights. It's been a while since I watched the 2006 version, but this one is a lot more coherent and well made.

[Potato-Jim]

I'll try watching it again after I get through everything Mushi-shi since it seems more compelling and I have the attention span of deep-fried asparagus.


..Which is quite low, I'll have you know.

[VizardAmata]

Been watching Psycho-Pass, it's pretty good.

[Kanwulf]

Just finished True Tears.

Nothing worse than when the protaganist chooses the person you DON'T want him/her to be with :X

Not that I disliked who he chose, just preferred Noe
