If you haven't seen them yet, Clannad and then Clannad: After Story.

Thankyou!

[SidVicious]

Thankyou!

Try Kanon too.

After much googling, I have decided to swallow my shame and consult the almighty otakus of Neowin!

I just finished Toradora. Coupled with an album from Ryuichi Sakamoto I got my hands on around the same time, it was an extremely emotional experience. I'd love a series that comes close to being that good to follow it up with, idc about a good/bad ending.

If anyone could help me, I would much appreciate it.

go with ToHeart first.

This a really cool and great manga because of its animations.

Tried Honey and Clover?

It's funny how this thread is still mainly about Bleach :/

yeah i think the only people who didn't talk about bleach was me, you, Radish, and masked forever.

^Yep, that's pretty much true. And some jumped in whenever we did. Oh well, as long as the others enjoy this thread.

I love that y'all post about other animes/manga. It has given me a lot of good ones to watch/read which I had not known before, or had a different opinion about, but still gave a shot because of one of y'alls reviews.

Sadly, my home computer monitor broke, so I am without anime this week..... May just hook everything up to my big screen tv, but such a hassle, and I wont have sound.... anyone have a crunchy pass or something I could use on my ps3 until I get a new monitor? :p

I kinda lost the feeling of wanting to post here about random anime that I watch, but not spoken about by others in this thread. Mainly due to the regulars being absent which won't change as far as I know. Plus I don't really review anymore for the time being as I'm too busy with my internship. I even had to close my blog due to not having the time to update it.

Same with my reason for only watching or keeping up with a few anime/manga at the moment. Life just taking up so much, it is hard to keep up with everything.

I started the Highschool of the Dead, made it to ep 6, and just stopped. I liked it, but just couldn't keep up with it. Right now, my main are Bleach, Naruto, and Gantz.

Never been into the whole Gundam scene unfortunately. And I can't stand a anime like Prince of Tennis or something that pits them in real life situations. I want more fantasy in mine :p

On a side note... I finally watched the live action Speed Racer movie that came out some years ago..... I loved it. It looked great, the acting was pretty good, and the feel of everything just felt right. Even with how computerized it looked, they did everything so well, that you accepted what you saw, and never thought, naaaaaaa not believable. I'm sort of sad I hadn't noticed this movie earlier. Was very entertaining.

[Ziesha]

mine favorite anime show is Pokemion and Shin Chan

You forgot me :whistle: :shiftyninja:

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^He did indeed :p I knew you belonged in that list though :rofl:

@shakey: I'm only watching 1 episode during the weekdays so that's 1 episode a day and during the weekends I try to catch up with some new shows. Like for instance: Fractale

The shows that I watch during weekdays are older series that I had piling up on my external drive :p

Yeah for sure, I've seen lots of good anime shows due to good recommendations in this thread :)

[Neo003]

Funniest episode of Mitsudomoe 2 till date, too sad it's alread end of the season. :cry:

[rustix]

^ I lost interest in Mitsudomoe season :no:

[Azusa]

^why?

[rustix]

I think 3 stories per episode was a bit too short for me to enjoy :wacko: Somehow it wasn't as entertaining as the 1st season

[Ci7]

Aizen: the end :cool:

[Matrix XII]

Can't wait for Bleach tonight! I hope it's not filler lol

I've been watching Fairy Tail, I'm on about ep 25, it's not really meant as a serious show I don't think haha

[Ci7]

It gets better. I read the manga too and the current arc in the manga is pretty interesting. The next arc in the anime is quite intriguing imo

I have to agree. The time it takes for some episodes to come across is just insane. Then they try and sell a series, but they break it down into episodes, where you are paying roughly 25$ bucks for 3 to 4 episodes, and a whole series of a show with over 100 episodes will cost you dearly. And when the professionals do it, they butcher it all to hell. There really is no going back from a great fansub once you have experienced it. Why don't they hire these guys? lol

That's if you can buy them at all. Trying to find certain anime from UK retailers is near impossible! Also, I just re-watched Death Note and checked out the English audio once or twice....it was painful to hear!

exactly. Some you can't find. The ones you can will be way too expensive or just horribly done. Also, if it is aired for free, streamed for free, what problem do they have with people watching it for free?
