So Psycho-Pass ended the other day. Great show with a somewhat lukewarm and predictable ending. I kinda like the message it's trying to convey (change is gradual, it doesn't happen overnight - but hope is there), and the whole "coming full circle" thing it was going for. But like I said, it was rather predictable, and didn't go out with a bang, unlike the first half of the series (looking at you, episode 11 twist). Still a fan-fucking-tastic show, though. Highly recommended.
I just marathon'd the whole Fishman Island arc of One Piece. It was pretty meh as expected except the final episodes which were ridiculously awesome. Now I want to continue thenext arc in Manga format.
Why must you do this to me one piece?
Starting DATE A LIVE, Hataraku Maou-sama!, Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Bride and DEVIL SURVIVOR 2 THE ANIMATION.
Finished Psycho-Pass. As expected, Gen Urobuchi did not disappoint. The best anime I've seen since Fate/Zero last year.
Also added Shingeki no Kyojin and Suisei no Gargantia to the list.Quote:

Currently watching Aeon Flux animated series. I used to watch that show on MTV back in the 90's and I still have no idea what is going on. Love it!
I watched OreImo. It was okay, but nothing special. It wasn't bad though, so I'm gonna follow the second season that's currently airing.
Episode 1 was alright. 2 was fantastic.Quote:

So, currently watching OreImo 2 (obviously), Chihayafuru 2, Space Brothers, Muromi-san on the Shore, Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet, Uta no Prince-sama 2 (don't judge), and planning to pick up Shingeki no Kyojin and Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko tomorrow.
Also the new episodes of Initial D whenever they get subbed.
Yay for randomly mixing versions of the names as I see fit.
I'm aware of that, and yeah, I watched the true end and the the three extra episodes that follow it. In fact 13/14 were probably the best bits of the season due to the focus on the goth catgirl chick.Quote:

And Nyaruko-san season 2. Guiltiest of all guilty pleasures, but I just can't look away.
C'mon, clearly the best girl is SAORI BAJEENA.
I'll get to Boku wa Tomodachi eventually. Of course, between all the stuff CR has, what's on my hard drive, and my game backlog, it'll probably be a while.
Also, I got bored watched Valvrave and "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU" or however you want to westernize it. On the first one: It's... Gundam.... but not Gundam? Only the first episode is out so far, but it plays out almost exactly like the first episode of Gundam Seed. Seriously.
As for the latter, it's surprisingly good. It's pretty typical, but still good.
Eureka Seven AO
Just watched the first episode of Attack on Titan.
Is it me or is there actually a lot of really good anime this season? It's usually pretty slim pickings but there seems to be tonnes of stuff worth watching right now.
What else would you consider worth watching? I'm only asking because picking out the gems from all the shit is never easy. :wacko:
I have my eye on Suisei no Gargantia, personally. Only because it's from a writer whose works have yet to let me down.
Bros for life.Quote:

Finished Azumanga Daioh. It was bittersweet, because I was sad to see it end. I was glad it ended happy though.
If you liked Azumanga Daioh you should check out Pani Poni Dash, very funny :nod:
Don't worry, the Post Doctor is here.Quote:

I might have got the JP names crossed up. Which one is the one with the giants? :wacko:
Shingeki no Kyojin. Aka Attack on Titan. :wacko:
My bad then, I'm watching the shit out of that. :wacko:
Sorry mate, I totally missed this post. D:Quote:

Look promising but are in my backlog because I'm retarded and struggle to keep track of more than a handful of shows at once:
Red Data Girl
Valvrave
Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet
More Gintama awesomeness.
Nah it's fine, I kinda forgot about it myself. Anyway, cheers for that, I picked up Attack on Titan based on your previous post and have been enjoying it. In fact I went ahead and read the manga as well because waiting weekly for episodes was killing me.Quote:

Flowers of Evil totally took me by surprise. I think it may actually be my favourite show this season. If you can handle the art and the pacing definitely check it out. I caught up with it today and episode seven was... wow. Not exaggerating, that final sequence is one of the most beautiful pieces of film I've ever seen and IMO totally justifies the decision to go with rotoscoping. I can't think of any other way they could have done that scene justice.Quote:

I madea youtube playlist of japan stuff. theres anime clips, tons of tourist videos, some video stuff, and tv shows with live action people in it. I cant edit these videos, so its not perfect. I have a torrent of the video mixtape these and more videos are in.

On my day off I'm going to watch berserk the golden age Arc II
Watching Kara no Kyoukai. @_@ and something light like Dusk Maiden of Amnesia.
I'm about halfway through Psyho-pass, it's good and is following the path that I thought it would take. The villain is your typical anime looking villain.
Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!
All dat moe.
Watching Shingeki no Kyojin at the insistence of a friend. Haven't watched much anime in a while, but this is actually super good. ^^;;;
