some of my fave anime are Elfen Lied Le Chevalier D'eon Guyver Vampire Princess Miyu Vampire Hunter D Blood The Last Vampire Wolf's Rain Inuyasha ETC?

Vampire Princess Miyu was good up until the last two eps, I know it's an angsty show but that was to angsy.

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei I'm loving this show reminds me of Welcome to N.H.K. and it has an awesome opening credit.

I'm currently doing a speed run of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, since I've neglected to watch it for the last 18 weeks. Anyone else watching this, or am I only one with a taste for sci-fi magic girl shows?

your probably the only one

the only magic girl stuff I've seen was sailor moon and card captors not faithfully though

I liked sailor moon, especially Sailor Moon S


Card captors (the dubbed version of Card Captor Sakura) sucked, but I liked CCS itself.


I must admit I like the entire Magic Girl genre, including Magical Project S, Pretty Sammy, Magical Girl Lyrical Nonoha (all three series - although it is debate how much series 2 and 3 are just sci-fi with transforming girls as opposed to magic girl shows), Mai Hime and Mai Otome (which present a more mature version of the magic girl genre), Puni Puni Poemi, Pretty Cure, Pretty Cure Max, Pretty Cure Splash Star, and Yes! Pretty Cure etc

I guess they're just cute and harmless fun.

claymore

Claymore. 'Twas a good episode.

I quite enjoyed that claymore, but then again I haven't read the manga, so i don't know how it was supposed to happen

Just the Priscilla and Raki situation, Raki knowing her true nature and heading to Pieta is way off, the fight between the Claymores and Lion King is faithful.

I think that's sometimes good. Otherwise why would you watch the anime if you knew what would happen?

Far more reasons to watch an anime than simply to find out the plot, I've watched tons of programs that I've seen already for the enjoyment of it. Just because you know how something ends doesn't mean you shouldn't watch it anymore.

Personally I prefer it when anime stay close to the manga, because thats what the fans want to see. Thats one of the reasons the original Negima fell apart, because it devated from the manga and messed up, the only good change the anime made was having Konoka and Setsuna share their first kiss - YES!

p.s. Chokmah: Who is that girl in your 'ghosts' banner, she's cute

I briefly saw someone mention Elfen Lied... which makes me happy.


I also adore Samurai Champloo and Trinity Blood. Joy.

So that did not stop people from enjoying Death Note even if they already read the manga or any other anime that is faithful to its manga counterpart. Naruto, One Peice and Bleach are some of the mangas I read and still watch the anime.

The only reason I'm complaining is because the claymore anime will not get a second season and we will get a cheap, rushed, full of plot holes ending.

added quote to response

I've got Elfen Lied, I've just never gotten around to watching it

Oh I know, I totall agree. I just think it's a nice change to have some surprises. You can explore more of the story and cover "what-if's" from the manga. As long as it doesn't become a whole new story it's fine, but to follow closely to the manga but still spring up surprises is nice.The girl is Summer Glau - that scene is from Firefly's movie Serenity~Summer GlauI see what you mean, I'll get the manga when I can afford them~

Ugh... The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya dub is... Crud.

Why can't people make decent Dubs?

Some dubs are actually very good. I liked the Eva dub, and Full metal panic dub, Nior too, also tenchi, Kiddy Krade, Fruits Basket, Hellsing, Ghost in the shell. Hell, to be honest a lot of dubs are good. With me however ultimately my perseption comes down to which I see first. If I see the dub, unless its really bad, thats what I see the voices as, if I see the Sub, then I go with the Japanese and I cringe at the english version no matter how good.

Thats wierd you mentioning that, I just got two Melancoly models through the mail today from E-bay. I'm a little disapointed that despite my efforts to find two of similar size so they don't look weird together on my self, the Mikuru model is a full inch bigger than Haruhi despite her being shorter in the anime. Oh well, at least I have them









Never seen Firefly, but I probably should since it got tons of good reviews even though they canceled it

Yeah I agree with Eva,Noir,Hellsing and Ghost in the Shell (haven't seen the three - I didn't like the Fruits Basket manga my friend had) But most dubs seem to have poorly chosen acters.

Ebay~ I'll have to get the models from there, I looked on a japanese (in English) site but... I couldn't find the shipping price. Which would probably be expensive... But saying that, it cost me £10.01 to get a Full Metal alchemist pocket watch and pendent from Hong Kong.

The watch needs repairing though... The twisting thing that you use to correct the time fell out for no reason... But I guess I did just pay a penny for it.

it is amazing! The story line rocks

Definately go for Ebay, those two models cost me around £16-£20 each. I bought others, smaller ones for only £5, or rather 1 pence + 4.99 p&p I got tons of stuff on the way from where I went mental two weeks ago and blew £110 on figures - Uta Kata, Carcaptor Sakura, Ikkitousen, Eva all on their way + likely some stuff I forgot about also.

edit
took away download links, oops viz does has volume 1 to 10 of claymore out

I never expected the manga to be so detailed. Most manga - bleach for instance - keep the detail low. I guess it's now a must to own then

Thanks for the links

=o £110? Haha, well if you've got it - flaunt it.

Full metal panic was good dubbed.

Claymore is really good but it looks like it will have a different ending since the manga has not finished and is on hold.

Elfen Lied kicked ass, enough said.

I also highly suggest people check out Shounen Onmyouji, Seto no Hanayome, and Nagasarete Airantou.

I just have to say Naruto Hurricane Chronicles is crap. First they made five page fight seen from the manga last 5 episodes, now they've dragged a 10 page fight scene into ten episodes and counting. The entire current 27 episodes could have been only 12 episodes at most. Their dragging it out to make more money from more eps, but all they've done is make is comepletely boring

I actually stopped watching the anime until they at least start fillers since i actually like the naruto fillers or until they get up to the point where Sasuke kills Orochimaru.

Just finished watching Death Note.

I think it would have been a lot better if they had two alternate endings Where Light dies as well as another ending where he rules as a god with Misa.

A good anime non the less though~

oh man i don't watch lucky star but this had me loling

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=mNwqp66UM0Q

You should watch lucky star

I just watched claymore 23, I liked it - but I'm assuming its so dramatically different from the manga you'll hate it

Yeah it is different its clear the show is ending so I'll accept it for what it is, the whole Raki thing sucks if they were going to change it they should of dropped Raki from the start or do something crazy with him besides just crying all the time.

From what I gather from the manga he is going to grow up and probably be a bad ass swordsman from hanging out with Isley and Priscilla for seven years after the Pieta battle.

and we did not to see this from the manga

spoiler pic http://i6.tinypic.com/334oy8w.png maybe in the next episode we will.

edit
The final Claymore ES came out. ES 3 is about how Priscilla met Isley and how powerful Priscilla is you can get it at the link along with ES 1 and ES 2. ES 1 is about Teresa getting a black card, and ES 2 is a little spoiler if you did not read past the battle of Pieta cause it does start of with all the survivors on the first and last page. It does not name names except for Miria but you can clearly see there faces. Its about Miria finding a claymore of an old friend and how much of a cruel b**** #4 Ophelia is.

and lol I would not be caught dead watching Lucky Star i got one episode to see what the internet hype was about and the minute I saw the op I stopped it and never watched it again.

Shouldn't judge a series by its intro. If I didn't watch anything which had a rubbish intro I would have missed out on some of the greatest animes out there.


Anyway considering its one of the biggest animed in both the US and Japan right now, Lucky Star has to be doing something right.


And BTW, that intro is awsome!

I just cant take the loli looking characters seriously, almost all the anime that have those kinda character designs I just cant watch them.

and I'll admit the intro is cute

Haha, The loli design is to make them appear innocent. Which is how the jokes actually work Still, they're in their late years of 17, but as i say the loli is for the innocent effect.

It's an awesome anime.

A bit like Azumanga.


I'd say Azumanga is funnier though of the two


Please Pancake tell me you've seen Azu

No, should I?

...........

hersay!





This is either going to be very good or very bad.

I didn't like Azu, I didn't think it was as funny as people had made it out to be =/

Haha, all live action film tend to suck. But not the NGE live action! That will be the only exception!

Damn straight 8D



I'd have to agree with you, but I wouldn't say it was crap. I actually like the new looks of the characters and everything, but you're right. It took them about 10 episodes to defeat Sasori, and half the time I was muttering, "Okay, c'mon, let's get back to Team Gai..". Sheeeeesh.

And I feel severely tempted to whap Kishimoto-sama over the head for adding NejiTen. D:< I hate that.

Indeed, but lets remember they are taken from the Manga. I also love the theme tune Hero's Come back. But it lacks the charm of the original Naruto and its cause as we both say, the fight scenes drag on far to long.

Last Lucky Star next week Y_Y

BUT! On a lighter note, I heard a rumor than a second season of Melancholy of Haruhi was being made~

OMG! That was one of my favorite series ever. Likable characters, interesting events and best of all... Not long enough to lose my attention.
Here's hoping for that rumor to be true~

Its not a rumour, this months copy of Newtype USA contained an interview with the director where he confirmed it.

I haven't had time to watch much anime for a while so all I've been watching is Bleach. And this ending is FTW. Where else are you going to see a breakdancing stuffed turtle?

CLAYMORE TWENTY-FOUR!!!!

It seems the final fight is upon us, I hope its epic.

Well I really liked ep 24, looks like it isn't going to be open ended at least - they are finishing the story

The manga carries on after the fight, to where the organisation are looking for them. But, continues with the focus on both the claymores who we know now and two new claymores.

That's if they make season 2 =/
