Five episodes into ZZ. Pretty silly, but it's ok so far.

Escaflowne is okay so far, but I'm not liking it as much as some of you guys did. It has its typical, cringe-inducing, "12 and under" anime qualities. I already had my doubts when I read the synopsis before I started watching. Just a normal high school girl, has some magic object, she gets swept away to some magical place, etc. It kinda reminds me of Inuyasha, which I shouldn't have to mention is a bad thing. And this thing with Hitomi and Allen is tiring already. Oh, Allen, Allen Allen Allen.

But it's still not a bad show so far. I just don't know what it is that makes some of you think this show is so spectacular. The robots sure are neat, and there's some decent action.

And it's just fucking dumb that Hitomi's pager is working perfectly on another planet.

Good to hear. Less chance of you dying out in the field on us.[or something related to that matter.]

For what reasons might I ask?

I signed a contract for 4 years of active duty. Those are now up. I also shaved the beard this morning.

Well, hello there fellow anime club enthusiasts. Man, over 1900 pages... I've been away from here for forever. Some might remember me, like Wonko, but I doubt the rest know me. Man... I remember this place when it was only 300-400 pages. They grow up so fast...

Hi guys, I made a new account because I thought it might rekindle my interest in this site.

I don't have enough to do in my days.

So...

Summer season starts in a few days.

Anyone have any thoughts on the trailers and preview videos floating around?

I've seen a few, but none has caught my attention. Besides, I have too much shit on my queue to add anything new.

---------------------------------

Sixteen episodes into ZZ. It has it's good moments, but all the slapstick-ish comedy is starting to bore me. It's not as bad as I had heard from some people but hey, I've still got 31 episodes to go.

No, doesn't really matter to me, as the new seasons of anime are always godawful and full of shit trendy stuff.

Only things I've been watching are FMA and School Rumble, finished both and FMA is still as engaging as ever, except for that ending, what a cop-out. And School Rumble was actually an enjoyable watch. Even though I'm sick of school settings, this one's characters had some interesting quirks, and didn't resort to melodrama nonsense.

I approve.

Hey.

I got several episodes of Gurren Lagann on my slightly used new ipod, and, of course, they're English dubs.

Surprisingly, the dubs aren't bad. Even though Kamina calls Yoko "thunder thighs" instead of fatass like in the subs. Meh.

I sort of wonder why Leeron would still pull his fruit voice in the middle of a crisis, like, say, in the last episode's epic fight scene.

Hello. If you want to know I am a fellow anime fan. My favorites are Bleach, Naruto, Deathnote, and Code Geass. Comment me back if you like any of these.

Oh geez, this club is dead.

I was at the video rental today, and I spied in the festival section of the new releases 'The Girl Who Lept Through Time.' I'd been wanting to see this film for a while, so I coughed up the five dollars (the most I have spent on renting a movie in some time) and sat down to watch it.

Wow that was a movie that took a long time to get going.

It's a lot like Groundhog Day, both in the premise, and the way that the main characters use their newfound talents to do a lot of comedic things before things get more dramatically involving. The problem is that the comedy portion of The Girl Who Lept Through Time really goes on way too long, and starts to get a little boring.

Of course the second half really was great, though. It made up for the first (even if the ending did go on for a little longer than I felt that it should.)

The animation of the movie was significantly unimpressive, though.

All in all, a good movie.

do you guys mind if i join this little club? im currently watching Hellsing and i love code Geass, naruto, digimon (oh the nostalgia) and DBZ.

DBZ really great but i prefor DB when goku was a little and weak, and had so much free time on his hands.

Ahem.

NU UH! DBGT was totally the best!!!!!@!23214y7791t!

Sometimes, I sicken myself.

I am attempting to watch Code Geass, despite the fact that it was described to me as "Death Note with big robots" but there have been some issues with my copy.

... why did you do that my feeling are hurts. also i haven't .hack in a while and not the comptuer game one the other one.

If there is no other solid topic going on...

I'm watching GaoGaiGar in its entirety. Aside from being extremely epic, it's one of the few Animes that I have seen where I can enjoy the Japanese Dubbing. Now I'm not one of those guys who hate everything not in the English language, but for most Japanese Dubbing, it hurts to listen to.

Opinions on GaoGaiGar anyone?

Haha, Death Note with big robots...Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description.

Well, I don't have much to say except that I'm thirty episodes into Gundam ZZ. I haven't been watching much except that and Kaiji, but I haven't been watching much of that. All things considered, I'm really liking this series. The first episodes were really tedious to watch and all the SLAPSTICK FUNNY FUN was almost rage-inducing, but soon all that just went away and the plot started getting good. It is no Zeta Gundam, but it's not bad. It's just not bad.

Watching Mermaid Forest becuz im as gay as you

Wait, both Bill Mays and Michal Jackson dead of a heart attack in the course of a couple days....
You don't think....

Shopping spreeeeeeeeeee :D

I got a Krauser II revoltech figure and a Great Mazinger model kit... now to buy shit to help me build it.

I also bought Final Fantasy V the OST, will listen to that soon.

I finished Gantz yesterday, disappointing ending.
Started reading a pretty awesome manga called Shamo, its about a guy who murders his family and becomes a martial artist. Quite intense.

Wow, what the gay happened to this gayhole?

I'm about halfway through Escaflowne. It got a little more interesting. I still don't think it's the masterpiece that Mendou assured me it was. I finally saw Afro Samurai, which was fun to watch. Lupin III: the Secret of Mamo was awesome, and My neighbor Totoro was interesting and creative as any Miyazaki film would be. It got my baby niece's attention, too.

I got that along with VI OST when I got FF Anthology years ago. I still haven't beaten a single Final Fantasy game ever.

more like disappointing series. But yeah, what a shit ending. And my god, Kei was an annoying little bastard.

Gantz was actually alright imo, could have had less ecchi though. And they never explained what the fuck Gantz even was.

I bought second semester of GTO and second Lupin III movie pack. :3 been on the lookout for those (kinda, haven't been at the anime shop for a while now), so I'm extremely happy.

Also found first manga volume of Dragonball and second volume of Dr Slump, as well as something called Mao Chan.

See how those go. :3

Finally finished Gundam ZZ. Well...the show overall was enjoyable. I had very low expectations for this one since I'd heard from a lot of people that it was really awful (and for a moment it was...fucking Moon Moon people) but I actually thought it got pretty good after a few episodes. The final episodes were kind of meh, though...Not much to add there.

It could have been better, it could have been worse, but it's an ok series. Watch at your own risk.

Char's Counterataaaaaack? Where are youuuuuuuu?

Hey I was wondering if I could have suggestions for some one who really enjoyed death note, the characters above anything else. It would really be appreciated! Thank you

Or if you want to watch a real thriller, then watch Perfect Blue.
