    watching azumanga daioh, pretty sure I never actually finished this

    only thing I have to watch it in my room on the computer, I am not watching this show in the living room where anybody could walk in

    I love that show. You can feel it melting your brain if you watch too much in one go, though.

    One of my favourite all time greats.

    On another note, Kill La Kill's latest episode is great, pretty much turning everything so far right on its head.

    Still watching kill la kill and still enjoying it.


    Log horizon dropped the ball a bit with the last few episodes where it felt like too much exposition and little drama.

    Hopefully no more is needed


    Also following magi. Originally hoped it would be an Arabian style full metal alchemist but it's clearly in the same territory as naruto bleach and one piece so will never end (well end in double digits) and I can only really follow 1 of these type of shows at a time. If fairy tail is back later this year I'll drop this in a heartbeat for it.

    Kill La kill might be the one anime that I'll buy when it comes out on disk.

    It's actually a surprisingly intelligent show.

    I just finished watching watching Mahou Shoujo Madoko Magica. The emotions this show stirred up! It's probably too soon for me to talk about it all but I'll say this:

    Best show I've seen in the last two years! This show had everything: magic, aliens, love, betrayal, dark enemies and glowing friends. I doubt I'll see anything like it again. Bravo!

    If anyone looks at the title and thinks "Meh! A Magical Girl show? How good can it be?", do not be deceived. This is most definitely not in the vein of the Pretty Cure franchise and other Magical Girl shows. Nothing is what you expect. Have tissues handy and be prepared to alternate between yelling support, screaming at the unfairness of it all and tears of sadness and joy.

    I was delighted to see that it turned the "magical girl" around a fair bit. Really found it excellent.

    I just finished Shigurui. I'm not generally into samurai/period anime, but I found it very good. But be prepared to be left a bit wanting in the end.

    i forgot i started watching gankutsuo ages ago.i really like the weird artwork in this


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭GalwayGuy2


    Hmmm, I hate how I can't wait for Kill La Kill.

    I know it's a sighn of a well made show, but...damn trigger.

    Yeah, the latest episode it's probably the best yet. 6 episodes to go on the show, I wonder how it'll pan out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭GalwayGuy2


    Hunter x Hunter. It has a childish artstyle, but it's actually pretty good.

    Also, Satsuki is really stealing the show in Kill La Kill.

    I recently finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, fantastic show cant recommend it enough. Before that I watched Code Geass, again another fantastic show. Next on my list is the Witchblade anime. I watched Ergo Proxy a couple of months ago, I enjoyed it but a few episodes in the middle were boring. Avatar Legend of AAng and Legend of korra are must see shows IMO. Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny are two great gUndam shows for any fans, although they have different names they really are just series 1 and series 2 of the same show, Destiny being the second series.

    watched the first episodes of Freezing Vibration and Deadman Wonderland

    Deadman Wonderland looks quite good and i'm curious to see more of Freezing Vibration


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,133 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Deadman could have been great but it slipped a good bit towards the end.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭GalwayGuy2


    i'm on the third arc of Hunter X Hunter. I would definitely recommend this anime!


  • Registered Users Posts: 74 ✭✭Martonio


    I did a small Ghilbi run. Watched Nausicaa and Laputa. Both excellent films. I cannot wait to see "The Wind Rises"

    I'm going through Mirai Nikki for the first time and really enjoying it. Interesting story and the characters are very interesting - quite messed up, but interesting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    Started watching Tiger & Bunny with herself! :D Such fun!

    That reminds me, I must watch Mirai Nikki also ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 56 ✭✭IHeartYuki


    I just watched the 2 min trailer for Z-Kai: Cross Road. AFAIK it's some kind of preparatory trailer for upcoming exams in Japan but I noticed that the song in it seems to be to a familiar air: I had to watch it twice before I figured out it was Danny Boy!



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭Art_Wolf


    ...Hamatora are great so far.

    Randomly started watching this yesterday - really enjoying it, I like the fact the fact that they arnt spending time explaining the background for some reason and just concentrating on the story.

    Mirai Nikki is great.


  • Registered Users Posts: 56 ✭✭IHeartYuki


    Just finished Mirai Nikki. If you plan on watching it don't forget to watch Mirai Nikki: Redial immediately after the last episode of the main story. I won't say why: SPOILERS!

    I really likes the show itself: I've never been a Yandere fan but Yuna's up there at number one on my yandere list now. I you like a fun, fast flowing story check it out.
