[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

ah the darkside of the interwebs look more like a sunny pasture to me now.

The worst page I ever saw was an entry on Encyclopedia Dramatica. After scrolling 3/4 through the post, I wanted to puke, bleach my eyes and rock myself to and fro while wishing I never saw the dark side of humanity.

If that was the worst I saw, I cannot fathom the darkest depths of the series of tubes. *shivers*

I watched Wonderful Days. It's a Korean anime with great CGI and shares many themes with cyberpunk anime such as Appleseed: Ex Machina and others. It deserves its own spotlight since it has a distinct style that sets it apart from other popular CGI movies. However, that's where the compliments end. The characters are nothing to write about and will be forgotten by the end. I can't help but mention that the distinct Korean taste for tragedy is splattered together onto a canvas and summed up with some opera singining by the producers while they do a little dance and then shout "Voila! Here's our conclusion", while you stand there amazed at how awfully predictable the plot (when there's not much substance to begin with) is and mouth agape at how anime concludes itself as an action anime meant for the theaters. No originality, no nothing.

This anime iis just a showcase for CGI and cumulonimbus clouds with a cyberpunk theme and an absolutely random love triangle mixed in for good measure. At least it shows the power of Korean animation studios (Tin House in this case)...

I was ready to give this anime a must watch series but it collapsed half way through.

6/10

Note: I laughed at the absurdity of me watching a one minute long scene where all the characters are moving in slow motion with tears coming out of their eyes while floating in zero gravity and they're all looking at each other in amazement/pain while an opera singer's voice projects as background music.

done Berserk ... i think, the full show is 25 episodes right?

Awesome show. Although im not sure where the first episode fits in...

Read the manga. It's still an ongoing story. That's why you might have felt that the ending left way too many loose ends.

The anime only covers volume 3 to 13 out of the 35 volumes that have currently been published. It's a great read.

so...i guess there isnt going to be an ending for the anime then?

The ending of the anime is the ending of one major arc in the manga. The anime series is just a complement to the manga.

Watched CENCOROLL and I was expecting a full length movie to be honest yet I enjoyed it despite being short. You get thrown right into the action from the start :)

It oddly reminded me of FLCL, pretty impressive the way Cenco transforms into pretty much anything (as well eating junk all the time :p) and major props to Atsuya Uki for animating/directing it on his own (Y)

Radish?

Man what the hell you guys do as for job, I mean I work 8 hour/day and I still don't have enough time to watch maybe couple of episodes per day (that's a big maybe).

it's all down to Substance abuse.

College student (engineering major, double minoring as well).

6 hours sleep + 9 hours of activity and classes + 2 hour workout + 2 hour homework/study = 5 hours of doing anything I want (which includes more studying if I need it).

I love having a spread apart schedule.
