overlord purely because madhouse animation is fun to watch and gate because i've always avoided the manga because the few pieces of art i've seen didn't look that good but it has a lot of hype riding behind it so ehhhh

You should get them both, and let us know your thoughts.

So.

I just recently finished Gurren Lagann, working on Sword Art Online right now. Those may be "newbie" animes, I dunno. Oh, also Tokyo Ghoul. Shit left me way unsatisfied; here's hoping for a season 3.

so here's what happened, i didn't feel compelled enough to start watching the new gatchaman or working maybe when all of the episodes are out then i'll start.

overlord is okay nothing special, gate has potential the first two episodes were promising, i have no problems with the prison school adaptation, seeing kiyoshi and gakuto animated is more than enough for me and apparently the arm wrestling scene with andre and vice prez will be handled by MAPPA so i'm looking forward to that. i ended up watching himouto on a whim, when she goes into her little hamster or whatever form she's annoying but adorable at the same time, her hamster design is just really incredibly cute overall and uhh thats it

that opening is disgustingly cute

Sounds like you gave it a chance, and it was good except for the incredible cute factor. Not bad.

More than it can be said for these guys:

We'll have to wait and see their thoughts once the season ends.

Hey guys. Looking for an anime, but I forgot the name again.
Its a recent anime, and I think its still ongoing, but mightve recently come to an end, dunno. Probably the former.
Its set in a post-apocalyptic world where vampires have taken over and outnumber the humans, but theres a team of vampire killers that hunt down and kill vampires, and the story follows a kid who escaped from being enslaved by the vampires and attends a school in order to make it on to the team of vampire killers. The kid is also a bit of an ass cuz he lost his best friend to the vampires when he was escaping.
Ive only watched the first 2 episodes of this anime, so I dont know much more than that. I do remember that the cover picture for the anime had a guy wielding what looked like a green scythe(as far as I can remember).

No, that wasnt it. I actually just found it, its called Owari No Seraph for those curious. Thanks anyway tho

I was watching Selector Infected WIXOSS.
Pretty good.
I'm hooked with that anime...
You should watch it too.

Can you tell us why we should watch it? Do you have a link?

i just recently finished the first two episodes of Ushio & Tora and it's really good, the show has a lot of heart and reminds me of what i liked about shounen. the source material is from the early 90s so it has that throwback aesthetic and vibe going on as well if you're into that kind of stuff

Is it worth watching? I might consider that my next anime to watch.

I'd definitely say so. I've only watched the first two episodes so far, but im already hooked. If you like seeing vampires get killed in awesome ways, then you'll love this. Main character comes off as a bit of an ass, but its somewhat justified, as you'll see in the first episode

An anime with vampires? As long as it's not shitty romance with vampires, like Rosario + Vampire or Diabolik Lovers, I might enjoy it.

Rosario + Vampires is actually better as a manga, but Gonzo blew this one however despite having a good voice cast and the fact that the source material is well ahead.

Problem is that they butchered it just so they can keep the fluff from the early chapters of the series. The second series is even worse.

At least the OP and ED themes are good.

As far as I know, not at all. Its pure action

Toonami tonight better be good. I need some good anime tonight.

Or you could just hit up crunchyrolls, fifth season of Teekyuu is on.

Hey there guys and gals!

I'm not nearly an otaku (as I wish to be), but I need your help finding the name of an anime.
Here are the details

I have been wondering for a while now ever since reading Himouto manga, does Taihei have an Oedipus Complex? I mean couple chapters have shown some glimpses of Taihei and Umaru's mom and she looked just like that spoiled size shifting hamster girl but fully grown.

Do you think Umaru was spoiled because she happens to look just like their mother?

At 7/26/15 08:42 PM, Vinnyy wrote: I haven't watched Toonami in ages. How is it? Do they still show some good anime like they used to?

I just watched Toonami last Saturday night, and I thought it was alright. Don't really care for DBZ Kai, Kill la Kill was fun, though definitely doesn't live up to the ungodly amount of hype it got. {anyone who really thought that KLK was "saving" anime needs is a moron} Michiko and Hatchin is something I've never heard of before, so it might be worth a look and SAO II is just as polarizing as the first one, and I'll leave it at that. What I heard is that Akame ga kill is going to replace KLK on August 8th, so yeah.

Segueing from gateway anime here to something that isn't, I haven't heard of Legend of the Galactic Heroes before, but it got near universal positive reviews from what I read, has anyone here heard of it before, much less seen it? It's a 110 episode OVA that recently got licensed to the West by Sentai Filmworks in case anyone wanted to know.

no idea as i haven't even touched the manga but you're making me interested for whats to come

i've heard of legend of the galactic heroes and the praises people have sung for it, as a matter of fact i actually have 44gb of episodes just sitting on my external hard drive but tackling a 110 episode series is a daunting task. let us know your initial reactions if you start watching

also if anyone is itching to start a manga give uwagaki a shot, it's short, sweet and it'll make your heart go doki doki suru

They have good times and bad times. They finally ended Bleach, and now show Sword Art Online 2.

It's good, it's slow at times but for a 110 episode anime it's pacing is fine.

Probably one of the best produced shows of all time if not the best and it's easily worth the watching all of it.

I started watching Sword Art Online.

7 episodes in and don't think too much of it, really. Super episodic, protagonist is a total personality vacuum and the supporting cast aren't much better, and the animation isn't much to write home about (although some of background art is very pretty).

SAO is so overrated. I started watching SAO over a year ago, but I stopped at around episode 15 and never continued. I really don't see what all the hype is about. I'd say the anime is mediocre at best.

Someone who agrees with me finally

Last episode of Kill La Kill tonight. Another Anime last ends with a whimper.

So I finished the new episode of "Rokka braves of the six flowers" and we need to spoiler talk. The entire episode was so tense you can cut it with a KNIFE.

How do you do that? Explain and provide links.

Any good series this season that I might be missing out on?

I'm watching Wakako, Gatchaman, Ranpo Kitan, Charlotte, and Classroom Crisis.

Why are you recommending garbage sites when the best legal site has the entire series for free in great quality?

End of story.

I don't like coming out of hiding to scold people, but holy shit.

Started watching Gangsta and continuing with Dragon Ball super; so far each are good, respectively.

Gangsta is cool. Anyone else watch Prison School? Holy shit that show is nuts.

Also watching Working and Shokugeki no Soma which has been my favourite this year.
