Guess I'll be watching the first episode of So-Ra-No-Wo-To in a bit :D

[RadishTM Veteran]

hey Radish, love your new sig :)

Thanks :)

Finished watching the two Nasu OVA's and I loved the second OVA much more than the first. Great relationships within the cycling team, nice dose of humour and awesome drive/teamwork with loads of tension! (Y)

Character design/scenery reminded me of Ghibli's work but it was actually produced by Madhouse :p

Radish?

Now this is how you define the Shounen genre:

[Berserk87]

Last couple episodes of 'Toaru Majutsu no Index' (Angel Fall Episodes) where hilarious :laugh:

[deletedxyz]

FAKKU YEAH!!1!eleven!

I can't wait for cycling/running season to start!

(note from excitement: nasu is probably the best sports anime movie. Beautiful women, depiction of cycling techniques such as quick breathing and drafting, and AMAZING sprinting finish. What is there not to like?!)

^ would you happen to know an anim? that is based on Football? (IE the game you play with your foot)

Captain Tsubasa. (The first anime I ever saw when I was a kid.)

Moero! Top striker

Wild Striker

However, there's nothing that can touch cycling when it comes to sports anime apart from martial arts. Soccer is getting more popular since Japan have consistently qualified for the World Cup. They're a decent team too but they're in a very tough group. Netherlands certainly is going to claim first while the second wild card going to Cameroon. It could be a surprise win for Japan though depending on how they do.

Thanks and welcome to the top three.

Thanks and welcome to the top three.

:p I'll be sticking around for awhile until college ends. Maybe a few more years. Cheers to a better and brighter future for the anime thread. Maybe even big enough for a sub forum?

XD

Trapeze has some fantastic moments in dark comedy.

I agress (although I've only watched one cycling anime). I watched Over Drive and simply loved it. Any recommendations for other anime like over drive? :D

Nasu. The huge screenshot is of that. Just click on the image to get more information. You might want to check out Prince of Tennis to check if its your cup of tea. To me, it was like a group of models posing for girls and exaggerating each shot. Think Captain Tsubasa (exaggerated 1 minute windups before taking a shot at goal or even pass) but in tennis.

There are only two anime that match Over Drive and that's Nasu and Slam Dunk (I read the manga instead of watching the cheap animation).

Slam Dunk is a must read/watch if you love GTO and/or its prequels.

[rustix]

Aaaahhh i shall check out Slam Dunk. Indeed I loved GTO, its the only series i've completely watched twice :D

[deletedxyz]

Rock on!

GTO has fantastic OP/ED songs. They're among the best I've heard. From 90's pop (Yes, REAL J-pop, not the trance trash) to J-rock.

And just what's wrong with J-Trance?

also for Hard Rock OPs nothing comes close to Black Heaven

[deletedxyz]

Nice sig, Radish. Is Yumi-chan rubbing off on you? :p

And just what's wrong with J-Trance?

I like J-Trance (well, some) but I can't stand these J-pop songs that open for some anime shows that feature squirrel voices and fast beats. It's as if Crazy Frog or chipmunks were back in style. >_<

I raise your Black Heaven song with real Japanese death metal.

[Azusa]

Gah can't stand death metal it sounds just what you imagine people to be listening to when you overhear music coming from earphones.

also J-core

[deletedxyz]

also J-core

:| They ruined the song! It's one of the most beautiful singing voices I've heard in years and now it's reduced to a bunch of trash cans being bashed together. >_< Chikusho, my ears are bleeding! HIGH FREQUENCY IS HIGH!

Hell no but those light brown eyes are totally mesmerising :wub: :p

Never get bored of DJ Jinnai's remixes.

Radish?

[CentralDogma]

On the topic of OP/EDs, I always found Elfen Lied's ED to be an interesting choice. It was a bit out of place with the series. You'd have a whole slew of people murdered in an episode and have a really depressing episode and then suddenly it would break out into this really upbeat song...

Also it sounded a hell of alot like:

You did not just call Maximum The Hormone "real Japanese death metal" because their music is far away from death metal :p

On a side note: has anyone started watching Durarara yet? I'm gonna watch the first episode today :)
