Wasn't Bleach aired this week?

@rustix

There are a few websites which keep track of that. You can bookmark one and keep track. :)

Currently Watching,

Kuro****suji (Black Butler)

Black Lagoon

Welcome to the N.H.K.

If someone didn't see these, for the now, I recommend them!

EDIT,

Oh, it censored the title.

@ maskedForever

I was thinking about watching K-ON - but from your description - I will be wasting my time. Will skip from my toWatch list.

@maskedforever: I've said it on Twitter and I'll say it again; You've become very negative about anime lately :/

Could you give me an example please?

:rofl: I know, I know. Maybe it's because I have my expectations set at Bebop, Legend of the Galactic Heroes quality. I don't have much tolerance towards anime that I immediately feel like I wasted my time. Here's to hoping that I'll get my hands on something I'll really like. Real Drive and a few other sci fi anime series from the last two years are on my playlist.

Happy Early New Year, everyone!

it's a form of escapism you're always going to be wasting time and at the end of the day and this has to be said most of your comments are verging on trolling trust me on this go watch Akihabara@deep all of it and if you feel yourself relating to Takeshi Nakagomi then you may want to think is anim? really for you?

I'm currently watching Trapeze. It's quite funny. Its art is amazing and I'm looking forward to watching more episodes.

Anime is a form of entertainment just like books, movies and other activities that require you to sit and not engage in physically. However, the sole reason I started watching anime was because of Kare Kano, Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell. I'm just struggling to find something that has those shows' quality. Deep, meaningful characters with a good sense of flow regarding the plot and character interaction. I found that in many anime series such as Black Lagoon (awesome action), Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Akira, RahXephon and ten's of others. Some anime series posed constructive questions that I never thought of. One anime series was a motivator to what I would as a career choice.

I do agree that some of my posts are borderline trolling because I find it entertaining to exaggerate my reactions to anime (except the positive ones). If you guys don't appreciate, I can tone them down to human level instead of close-to-troll level. :p I just find it hard to tolerate the "absurdities" in some anime series. Maybe I feel I'm getting too old to relate to most of the anime I watch since I can't relate to most of the characters. One thing I always do, regardless of what I read, watch or play, is trying to relate to characters and maybe that method is going to be incompatible in the near future. Have I really watched everything in anime that I possibly could like?!

Take what I say with a pinch of salt. I am quite biased against anything that doesn't push me intellectually or do something remarkable. I have extremely high expectations and don't tend to follow any fads or trends in anime. If you like cutesy stuff with loli characters, then it's a must watch. I just made it a borderline troll post because it's highly rated and very popular. I thought it was going to be a fun form of comedy by its description of several sites but I was proven wrong and found out it's not my cup of tea. It looks like anything highly rated by THEM 4.0 is what I most probably will like.

sad but true.dat

[RadishTM Veteran]

I'm definitely putting more time aside for Galaxy Express 999 now that it's subbed fully, might even neglect the other anime I'm watching as it's so damn good.

Radish?

[Azusa]

Just set aside 3 days and marathon it like im going to.

Not going to happen with Galaxy Express 999 as I have a job. Plus I don't want to rush through it on a marathon, I'm just going to focus the time I put aside for anime on this particular series.

Radish?

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Just like I do with Honey and Clover :)

Eve no Jikan. 9/10 'Nuff said. Best sci fi anime "series" I've seen in ages.

Without a doubt (Y) There are rumours of a second season.

same here it was awesome seeing it on the big screen.

I don't think I would like to see the story extended but I could be proven wrong since I simply appreciate the anime series as a basic story surrounding Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. I think a sequel can only be justified if it manages to answer all the questions and scenarios presented in the ONA in a sophisticated, eloquent manner. Here's to hoping it won't be something along the lines of that <insert negative adjective> anime series called Eden of the East. >_>

That must have been quite an experience. I wonder if it will come out on Blu Ray.

I agree but stop hating on Eden of The East :p

Would be nice to see the version that is being edited for the big screen with extra footage released through retail. I'd totally buy that.

I agree but stop hating on Eden of The East :p

Here's to hoping for a successful sequel. :sorcerer:

:p I was really looking forward to it since it had an awesome premise but then it just turned out to be some average girl following this male protagonist who's been modeled to appeal to female viewers. Fan service is fine but when it changes a character's development significantly, I realize that I'm not watching something that's meant to be a gem in its sub genre.

or

I was just ridiculous and immature enough to berate an anime series because I failed to account that it was a josei series.

he wasn't a bishi so the girls wouldn't be interested.

Eh? Butt shots in front of the White House, being extra sensitive to the female protagonist who has a few screws loose (i.e. following a man who's being chased by the police then constantly whine about her boy problems while he's trying to piece together his Bourne Identity), etc.

that doesn't get the fangirls going at all they want a bishi that hits on another male character.
