Women moaning in the dubbed version and on their knees would be hilarious! *resists a joke equating the depiction of the female protagonists in the anime to Twilight fangirls*

/still not over how disappointed I got over the trashy ending episode.

Oh, come on. You know the producers wanted to make hentai from that last episode. I must be either a troll or not the only one who thought that the two main female protagonists who are pseudo lesbians and somehow moan at male vampires and love to eat mysterious white liquid that come out of eggs. The last episode even featured a bisexual playboy who looked like he was in early teens and sexually harassed the protagonists!

Explain this:

^ Maybe they should have made the main female protagonist's chest bigger and make sure she won a wet tshirt contest too so it would really be hentai OVA series.

I'll agree with you about the last episode going a bit over the top but I enjoyed the plot nonetheless :laugh:

^Your signature set is pure win! :D

Baccano! sure is a crazy anime. It's awesome from the art to the characters and everything in between. Really enjoying it so far :)

I recently finished a series called Tokyo Tribe 2, a 13 episode anime full of style. It covers the story of a prostitute, a yakuza boss, two best friends and gang violence. It's directed by Tatsuo Satou, who also directed Ninja Scroll (the series), Afro Samurai and was one of the senior producers for Azumanga Daioh, Kino's Journey and Gunslinger Girl.

From first impressions, it felt like I was watching the love child of Samurai Champloo and Ninja Scroll. The heavy (cool) Japanese hip hop beats and the interesting, loud art style influenced heavily by hip hop culture made me watch this series in its enitreity instead of dropping it due to my pet peeve. The beat drops there and never picks up. The plot is disconnected, awful and goes from realistic to downright mindless cartoon violence. Flying limbs from samurai swords, a gang boss with a tank as his personal transportation, depicting one character as Hitler with mouse like feature and virtually no reactions from the police made me want to drop it. The plot is awful and I don't think I can recommend this anime.

Here's a sample of its redeeming quality. The opening credits are absolutely sick.

Yuri is the official Neowin anime figure otaku. I think you rival 99% of all girls who collect Barbies. :p

err that's not a figure.

lolno.

oh how boring of you.

[deletedxyz]

err that's not a figure.

Isn't it a motorized figure that is limited to a few moves that a script kiddy wrote and is selling it for 100000% of what it's worth?

oh how boring of you.

:p

This week's episode of Bleach was rather boring.

There supposedly was a sequel to GTO manga called GTO: Shonan 14 Days and was released last year and it's an ongoing series. New GTO arc and anime series?

err it's By Volks from their Super dollife range which is on par if not better than most of the old 19th century German doll makers

I agree. When they started to use all their reiatsu, I was hoping Kenpachi would pop out of nowhere to take over but it never happened :laugh: :cry:

:p Only 2 volumes have been released and it's going to another year at least before there is enough material for one season. Here's to hoping that it's actually good. I wanted to see more about the chemistry between Onizuka and Azusa and more stories about the same cast. It's disheartening to see a different setting and new characters. I'm more excited about the translation of Shounan Junaigumi! and Golden Boy.

One of my favorite female characters is Urumi.

I watched the live-action GTO film a few weeks back and it was pretty bad in every way :/ Oh how I yearn for a new GTO anime :laugh:

I was right, wasn't I? Important characters were omitted and the bad acting was too painful to watch.

The GTO franchise definitely will get another anime series since it is one of the most popular, well known anime/manga out there. Its prequels are a must watch/read. They're much darker and more crude humor is injected. I aspire to become Eikichi Onizuka minus being the most powerful/feared bike gang member and bad history of delinquency. He's THE fictional character that I could relate to the most.
