Ok first late/allnighter in a while so i've been thinking about every 10 eps of InuYasha ill watch another series first one is Toaru Majutsu no Index so any suggestions as to what i should watch after episode 60?

Radish?

[rustix]

I thought so too. I deliberately rate the series lower than the movies but they do give character to the Section 9 screw due to the more in depth interactions between them.

that reminds me, I have to watch the GiTS movies. Have been putting that off due to the workload from uni :(

;) Work hard, play hard.

It's the only series that I rate the movies higher than the anime series (not that it keeps me from still keeping the anime series as one of my favorites.)

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Both should be seen as separate things to be honest. The movies have nothing to do with the anime so both are stand alone anime (:p).

When otakus go too far...

This must be the ultimate form of flattery for the creator of this video game character.

Hmmm... There's an interesting blog for that. :innocent:

I'll get Blue Gender asap. ;)

Yuji even stumbles upon a phenomenon similar to the "Beacon" that Shepherd finds at the beginning of the game.

Saw "Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honn?amise" today. Was a good and fun movie to watch. Animation was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Music at some points didn't quite fit imo though I wasn't bothered by it. I'd give it a 7 out of 10:))

:oo You weren't impressed by how the space shuttle lifted off?! It was breathtaking when I watched it last year in 720p. Also take note that it was animated in 1987. However, I do agree with the awkward music track and overall vague story line mixed with philosophy.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Yes, I was impressed by it. But besides that and the scenery, it wasn't anything spectacular compared with other anime from the same decade. The story made up for it though because to me it was really interesting. I've got a big weakness for anything which have to do with space. And an anime set in a different timeline in which the first earthling goes into orbit for the very first time, is a win in my eyes :)

Those are the same sentiments I felt as I watched the movie. It's refreshing to see an anime movie based on real events. I just went through your MAL page and found out that you didn't watch Planetes. You HAVE to. It's my favorite manga series and the anime series manages to hold together (with a very unbelieavable ending plot) unlike the manga.

It's a MUST read. It's a must watch for any space fans like us.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

I've watched 2 episodes and had accidentally removed the whole anime. I had the anime during the period where I always had to make room for new anime series. I also didn't have a DVD burner at that time which gave me no other choice besides removing anime that I had watched. I've been wanting to watch Planetes for a long time though I haven't come around obtaining it. I'm even able to buy the whole DVD set, which I'll be doing as I'm sure it's pretty much worth it. There's a goldmine of manga's near me which I'll be going to soon. I'm gonna see if they've got the "Planetes" manga, otherwise I'll read it online :)

"Freedom" is another anime about space which did leave a big impression on me. I'm sure I don't have to explain why though :p

No you don't but I'll say Katsuhiro Otomo is win anyway, brilliant anime :D

Radish?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Well, that's a fact among all of us I hope :p

Even though the animation and concept was amazing, something didn't sit right with me. Maybe it's the naivety of the two main characters or maybe it's just I was underwhelmed after following up Planetes with Freedom.

By the way, Black Lagoon has one of the worst ending songs I've ever heard.

Why what's so wrong with it?

also i hope there'll be a second season of toaru majutsu no index.

It doesn't match wit the anime series AT ALL. It's so uninspired and boring.

Hearing English spoken with a Japanese accent is quite funny. Black Lagoon's characters are supposed to all be speaking English and when they interact in Japan, Rock has to translate so you get to hear the accented English. At least it isn't as painful as hearing it when I was watching Beck.

"Werll, Thang arll maitee" = "Well, thank All Mighty"

"I Rost debet" = "I lost the bet" :D

you sure you're not talking about the OP and not the ED?

IIRC it only had 1

[_neutrino Veteran]

it was technically two 13 episode seasons however there was no break in the airing of the series it just played as 1 large season. However it was sold on DVD as 2 seasons.

you sure you're not talking about the OP and not the ED?

Well, the OP is pretty bad. The ED is downright awful on a completely different level altogether. I wonder what went through the music producer's mind for accepting the song.

The latest Bleach/One Piece and Naruto are out.

THe Bleech story is as slow as ever. We did not get anywhere in this issue either but Naruto and One Piece made a steady progress. Raikage and Killer-Bee vs Kisame and Luffy vs the 3 Admirals ;D

I don't know, at least Yammy finally did his release so I'm thinking that won't last too long now. And we finally get that Tousen has hollow abilities, so that should make the next chapter interesting.

*sets up depression mode anime/manga*

Push Man and other stories

Saikano (manga)

Clannad and its highly rated second season

Re-watching Neon Genesis Evangelion

while listening to: Hurt by NIN

Anyone have some slapstick comedy or light hearted anime that won't be a waste of time?
