well, i have downloaded Champloo, which I technically could have bought, if I could somehow find the first season DVD's which are no longer available in stores.

Have you finished it yet may i ask?

Er... No, I've been really busy, which kinda defeats the purpose of a summer holiday...

I'll try to watch the rest of it this weekend.

Can you people recommend me some good animes based in rl cities or locations, with somewhat realistic plotlines. I don't mind some supernatural stuff, I just don't want to watch something about a dragon hunting ninja.

Oh, and twists, I like twists. Thx.

Beck might be your best bet.

Well, I don't know, Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi would fit the description pretty ok, as for more mundane series, Welcome to the NHK, Genshiken and Lucky Star come to mind.

It requiers you to have an imagination and is set in the future, but I suggest Code Geass.

hey guys, I just finished Samurai Champloo. story was great, but I would have thought that Mugen would have died by the explosion at the end, but whatever...

I just started watchinga show called Black Lagoon. have any of you guys heard of it?

Also, what shows do you guys recommend that have the same animation styles as Samurai champloo?

I forgot to ask about shows that are similar to Champloo... so...

Are there any shows similar to SC?

Well I wouldn't really say that they're similar in lines of music, but if you're into the whole samurai thing I would say to check out Samurai 7. I haven't finished it yet, but from what i've seen so far it's pretty good.

Well too bad, yeah the ending was pretty abrupt but great series anyway.

Why yes we have, and it's pretty good fun. Doesn't try to be smart or DEEP. Just does what it's supposed to do. Entertain.

pfffftttttt, uhhhh....not too sure. Champloo's pretty unique itself.

Not nearly as pathetic as Lucky Star.

Akagi and Kaiji fit the ticket quite nicely, they require some mild suspension of disbelief, but they've got even realism and twists to tide you over.

Huge fan of the series, great heroic bloodshed show with memorable characters.

Oh man, I completely forgot about this site!

Sorry for my absence, guys.

Jesus christ, I keep hearing about this anime in both real life and online constantly.

I have yet to see it but from what I understand its completely overrated, it can't be THAT good because whats mainstream in anime is almost always retarded shonens.(I.E. Naruto, DBZ, Inuyasha, Bleach, etc.)

And another thing, i've heard people compare it to death note, i've ehard people compare it to Gundum 00, i've had people compare it to fma and i've had people compare it NGE.

Just what the fuck is this anime about?

Since when are smart animes bad?

As good of a anime that black lagoon is, it could've been so much better if it had an on some sort of linking plotline between all the arks and if their was some sort of intelligent story behind the awesome gun fights and big explosions..

Well, they try to do that whole existing thing. But it mostly serves to show how batshit insane Revy is.

Every single time someone mentions that show you have to go about expressing your disapproval.

Every.

Single.

Time.

That, and plenty of other shows that you don't like, but, strangely enough, other people do.

Yeah, to be honest I don't get why it is that we're all not exactly like you either.

Kid gets magical powers and wants to change the world. Really there is nothing special about it just your average fanservice show which i dislike but stuck around for the mech. Dropped second season as it is utter garbage.

Also, finished King gainer. It was decent.

Calm down, no need to get upset about it.

Hmmm in the good way or in the bad way?

Sounds generic and bland.

Plus I STILL don't like mech and gundum shows so thats even more the reason for me to not watch it.

Cool it, buddy. Not the end of the world, internets not being serious business and all.

I don't really see the point in endlessly slandering the series, but I can certainly say I fail to understand why it's caught on like it has.

I don't see how the internet makes you exempt from being annoying.

I found it funny, informative, and just generally enjoyable to watch.

Took too long to catch on, though. It started out boring as hell.

Forgot to mention King Gainer has awesome opening.

Precisely, you found it to be that way.

Humour's a very subjective thing.

Not a positive trait for a comedy series in the least.

This is something that I made reference to in that previous complainy post.

Not a positive trait for any series.

I've never looked at a series and gone "you know what? This series could stand to be a bit more boring at the start."

Oh, you card.

I actually have seen some stuff in the past that would have done better with a slower pace, more exposition and less fun in the beginning.

As entertaining as the original Jojo's Bizarre Adventure OVAs were, a slow start would have done them more good.

I don't want to half to read half the manga just to understand episode one.

There is a big difference between slow paced, and boring.

Okay, Christ, now you can just shut up.

What does saying that prove? I'm personally astonished you could dare to go on about how you enjoy something you found very boring for the first chunk (Hell, even finding the will to finish the show after such a weak start is quite surprising).

Let's just bury all this bullshit now, it's quite clear that no discussion of Lucky Star in this thread ever has and ever will be anything but a ridculous shitstorm.

Because it's purdy.

Really, it was a "It must get better since I enjoyed that other series that the studio did" sort've thing.

What a stupid idea, but it worked in that instance.

You know this isn't the last you've seen of it.

Right, time to role play.

I'm Gendo.

I really enjoy old anime series, and especially like Ranma 1/2.

Of course I realise that I disliked around half of it, and some of it made me angry, but that doesn't stop me, because I like it.

I am not strongly attracted to well animated shows and like to point out the flaws in people who choose to watch shows based on this.

I'm also a character in an anime that Kuro hasn't seen.
