Got around to watching the first episode of Katanagatari and I must say it's engaging :D

Great dialogue between the characters, lovely art/animation and the fight scenes are brilliantly done (Y) Togame is a cute klutz :p

Will watch the second episode later tonight.

I've spent way too long reading half of this thread to see what anime I could/should watch >_<

[RadishTM Veteran]

:laugh:

Let us know what you've watched already to make some recommendations :)

[PaulCabby]

Haha cheers mate.

I've set up a mal account but my word, the amount on my list no way compares to some of you guys here xD

although I think It'll last me a month or so :D

[RadishTM Veteran]

You will get there in time ;) Sent you a friends request on MAL :)

Seeing your completed list, you've seen some essential anime - which is good. I personally recommend going through all the Ghibli films (Y)

Your starting list are all my favorites. Check my MAL list out or Capric0rn's since we are the resident Ghost in the Shell fanatics here.

So what did you decide? :p

Narrowed it down yet?

I think Cowboy Bebop is a good show to start on if you haven't seen much/any yet.

Is dattebayo down for anyone else right now? I want to watch Bleach tonight I haven't seen the last 2..

Just finished watching Sword of the Stranger. Great anime. The animation was top notch. They picked up peoples movements very well, and the fights are amazing. The story is not bad, but not good either. The dialogue/voice acting though is great, so when there is not action, the scenes at least have the right feel to them. I'd give it a 7 or 8/10

Was reading on Dattebayo a few days back that Bleach doesn't actually air in HD, it's SD upscaled (they provided proof and it was posted for the trolls who keep on asking for HD episodes).

[shakey]

ya, bleach doesn't look as crisp as naruto. I always hope they will do 720p, but never have yet.

if it was a screen cap by screen cap proof then that's hardly proof i'd want TV listings and PD or share screenshots

[RadishTM Veteran]

If I remember, it was TV listings of anime that were airing and at what resolution.

Just got done with ep 2 of Katanagatari good ep plenty of good cutsy lines for Yukari-chan i may just have to get that "cheerio" as a sound bite...

[rustix]

I completely enjoyed Sword of the Stranger. The fight at the end was exceptionally good :yes:

I'm starting to become disappointed with bleach. This filler is going on for too long. I had even forgotten about the minor characters such as the 3 dolls, ichigo's friends, etc..

much like Tite Kubo but i for one am liking the filler only real reason i started watching again.

[rustix]

This filler-arc in bleach started off great but then it just dragged on and lost its touch

[RadishTM Veteran]

The arc should have ended with Kouga/Muramasa. The Zanpaktou's with no owners and running about is a bit too thin.

Definitely. I thought they'd have made plenty of space between the mange and anime by now :angry:

Saw the last episode from Baccano! the other day. What a great anime that turned out to be. Great action mixed with great humor! :D

Also, does anyone know where I can read the manga from Bōnen no Xamdou?

[Jamushroom Veteran]
