OF THE FUTURE!!
Funny guys… real funny… har de har har… *glares*
You guys interested in DayZ too? O_O Woah… I and a few friends were talking about playing DayZ but we never really got around getting ArmaII so yeah plus I’ve got other stuff to do so I currently don’t have much time for DayZ. Gimme a shout if you guys start playing ;D
I’m waiting for Campione episode 1 (not pre-air) and I can tell you.. from what I’ve heard, it is not as awesome as its synopsis.
Kingdom – HA! No. This show is shit. Even if Hikasa is in it, I’m not going to torture myself so I can hear her speak. I’ve got K-On Blu Rays for that <3
Tari Tari – Duuuuude, this show is gonna be good~ (Yeah okay… I'm a big fan of P.A Works so I'm bias) But umm… Tari Tari as you guys know has a musical element to it and looks very similar to Hanasaku Iroha (and yes Flags, it has dudes in it. Not dude… dudes~). Well… so far nothings really happened but it looks promising. Give it a try.
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita – so the episode's out, has anyone seen this? It's so cute and sweet and rainbows and cuddles and fairies and no… I don't like this. I think it's trying too hard to be funny (besides the toaster… that was hilarious!) but yeah… not watching this.
Muv-Luv Alternative Total Eclipse – Xavier! Have you seen it? What do you think of it? It's not as bad as I thought, actually really serious. O_O
Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu will be Kana-chan's favourite anime (Kanade from Chihayafuru)
Binbou-gami ga! – I think binbou translates to misfortune or poverty (hense the Poverty God in the synopsis) nor sure if that's the direct and accurate translation though cause I'm only guessing from what I've seen in episode 1. Which was really comedic ;D Give it a try guys.
Natsuyuki Rendezvous – A really nice romance series which is most likely the best of the season.
Hagure Yuusha no Estetica – Saw the trailer for this and I'm put off already. Hikasa's got so many roles this season but they're all in bad shows D: WHY!?!??!!? WHY MUST YOU SHARE THE SAME FATE AS KITAMURI ERI!?
Sword Art Online – O_O WHAT!??!?! A SEQUAL!!??! I'm pretty sure Accel World isn't a sequal for Sword Art but the person who write the light novel for Accel also wrote Sword Art so they share the same original creator. Where did you get this information!? O_O
Kokoro Connect – the anime version of Freaky Friday! Oh god…
FUCK YES MILKY HOLMES IS BACK!!! Dude… I have to be honest with you guys, Milk Holmes might even be better than K-On :O I want to see what they've done with the baby because they seriously pulled off a beautiful Clannad-like ending in season 2. Beautiful… breathtaking… extravagant… do I sound like other generic movie critics yet?
Glad to see you guys back after quite a while ;D And should I continue hoping for an E3 episode or what?
I’ll reply to everything.
I don’t get the hype train about Day Z. I know the zombie apocalypse simulator is indeed interesting but just how that game looks (I know it’s a mod) is a bit off putting. Gun feel makes me stuffy #Justsaying.
1) Kingdom- Something done better w/ the same aesthetic and with Kugimiya Rie in it is the 12 kingdoms.
2) Tari Tari- You say all that but you cannot deny the same face syndrome P.A has been incorporating since Hanasaku Iroha. Guess what that’s also in Another.
3) Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita- I do like Cute/Fluffy shows, as I did with Hanamaru Kingdergarden. That has a prominent director directing something fluffy and cute.
4) Muv Luv total Eclipse- Xavier fuck you for liking this show. Remember the trap that Infinite Stratos put you into?
5) Binbou-gami ga!- Using deities as a twist hook in order to get you watch a comedy that’s horribly animated… Hmm it’s like Ahh Megami Sama (AH my Goddess!) meets Beelzebub! Fuck.
6) Natsuyuki Rendezvous- Finally romance reminiscent of Paradise Kiss, and Nana. It’s done by Madhouse right?
7) Hagure Yuusha no Estetica- Wow I’ve seen this somewhere… Like so many other generic ass fucking piece of shit fantasy scenario ass wanting piece of shit titty fuck.Fuck this anime.
8) Sword Art Online- It’s totally not the Tower of Daruga at all….
9) Kokkoro Connect- Watch “Body Exchange” (Hentai). Superior animation with the premise that is fitting for porn.
and Milky Holmes is fucking amazing.
Well.. I’m done with anime simply because of aesthetic reasons and unexcited announcements of who’s licensing what and who’s doing which adaptation.
I think this is that crunching point in whether I really give a shit about anime as it caters towards fan service to sell figma and Blu-Rays rather than good old traditionalized stories. And even then I dumbed down to the extent of accepting well executed shows. But this year alone has showed me that Anime is this robotic figure trying to generate some sort of revenue to prolong it’s industry. And to be frank it’s missing it’s soul. Anime is an industry, but separating it between corporate and the creative process is the best. Take Fate/Zero for instance, for as epic that show really is there is still a saber figma that’s lying around simply because she’s that uninteresting piece of a protagonist that the series portray her as. It’s not like Tokusatsu where the point is to sell you the toys as it targets towards a younger audience.
In other words Surprise me. Because you’ve been lacking that all these years.
You don’t have a backlog, Jeff? Watch some old shit (not literally 80′s nostalgia shit). I think that’s definitely the best cure for somebody who’s bored of “current” anime. And everybody is calling this the Summer of Backlogs so don’t worry if you feel unimpressed with the season.
Or read some manga. Would love to hear more (and any) manga discussions on the cast.
I watched Brotherhood. Will embark on my 9th run-through of CLANNAD. Speaking of which I’m planning to catch up to naruto.
I wish I knew you better because I’m not sure if you’re trolling me.
He is not trolling you. He has told me all of this.
Now I wish he was trolling me.
Jeff, don’t you have like.. an actual backlog? That doesn’t include a rewatch of Clannad, or any rewatches for that matter.
You must have shows that you’ve wanted to see but haven’t gotten the chance to.
No I really don’t.
Make one.
Steal one if you have to. (Shea’s hasn’t been touched in years so he probably won’t notice)
Just get one.
Think of DayZ as a scaled down version (in terms of quality) of Last of Us because it’s practically that but not single player. The graphics sure can be off putting but like most games, when you start playing it, it’s not so bad ^^
The thing is Jeff… your decline in love for anime will only get worst because the time you started losing interest, all the shows just so happenly became majorily bad. Making it hard for you to get back in and making it hard for people like me to get people like you back in. Gene puts it in good words, stick with backlogs and if you want, I can recommend the better shows in each season so you don’t have to suffer through finding them(?)
In terms of series, the only show I’d recommend to you is Natsuyuki Rendezvous and possibly Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita. Not sure if you want to stick around for Sword Art Online but you could if you want. Everything else might be off putting to you : (Though I’m most likely watching more than you, the number in how many I usually have in my airing folder is halved)
The studio for Natsuyuki Rendezvous is Dogakobo (the guys who did Myself;Yourself, Yuru Yuri and Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi)
Don’t know about you but the summer is always when I end up watching pretty much everything off the list…just for fun I guess.
Also still not sure if you guys are just trolling us with Milky Holmes and it’s making me want to watch it to find out.
you should watch milky holmes! /Totallynottrolling
I don’t know if I should intervene out of good will towards a fellow commentor or watch this unfold more.
I had a few thoughts I wanted to say when I was listening to the cast earlier in the day, but I forgot already. Something about anime.
Anyway thanks for the plug in, guys.
Yeah I had the same thought but that was thrown away like two months ago.
Just wanted to say… I saw Stan Lee in the flesh at OZ Comic Con and also the Great Khal Drogo himself on stage!! Fark man… what a beast.
PS: I am watching Game of Thrones (haven’t seen season 2 yet)
