Spring 2011 Anime Thread

[Akiyama]

Even with the firepower of BG servers we need to lock threads at 1500ish pages (30k posts) or it starts making the forum search explode randomly.

Speaking of... I have no clues who put the 150 pages (3k posts) limitation on the random image thread... tradition maybe?

RIT used to be like..50, then it got bumped to 100.. then up to 150 now.

And I agree with the idea of the novelty wearing off and traffic dropping. It's sort of like when the "Great Sports Threads Debate" started and some folks wanted to move the NFL/other sports into it's own section. The sports stuff is what drives General, even if General does blow pretty hard outside of the Random Image thread and random Judgment Day/Rapture threads (lol). I think the huge as shit anime thread really pushed Entertaininment.. and I wouldn't be surprised if numbers for it, outside of animu, hit a dip.

But who knows. We'll see I guess. It never bothered me really. Only reason I went to entertainment was either for a couple of the topics for shows I watched, or the anime/manga threads.

[Man0warr]

Yeah I kept up with the big anime thread so never had a problem sorting through it. I generally just used it to post about greenlit animes and just random anime talk, since I keep up with every season on my own.

[Xno Kappa]

Meh, makes no difference to me. I generally kept up with the anime/manga threads but I like the fact I can post a thread about specific anime/manga now if I felt like it. I know I could've done it before under Bentertainment but eh...it's not the same.

This anime will be base on a Hentai game. were all the girls want to have sex with male protagonist. this adaptation could go either way(Ero or Normal). The Trailer is pretty shitty and uninspiring.

Blood Lad Vampire Comedy Manga's Anime Adaptation Listed
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...ptation-listed

The Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko imprint's official website for the next Haruhi Suzumiya novel, Suzumiya Haruhi no Kyōgaku (The Surprise of Haruhi Suzumiya), began displaying a thumbnail image for the July issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Young Ace magazine on Wednesday; the image indicates that an anime adaptation project of Yūki Kodama's Blood Lad vampire manga is in the works. The magazine issue will not officially ship until June 4.

*Meh* series and very unlikable cast of characters in my opinion. what worse the series only has 21+ chapters out so far(hello fillers if this becomes a TV series).

Kimi to Boku TV series(Fall Series).
Production : J.C.STAFF

The story revolves around four high school boys who have been friends since kindergarten. The series jumps around in time, showing their friendship from early childhood to their high school days.

This is a story about friendship, growing up, and...

I was wondering why isn't this labeled as a Yaoi Anime, and after reading 7 volumes of manga it made some sense. yes the series has a lot Yaoi undertones but it has girls with relationships. it's pretty cute and heartwarming series.


J.C.STAFF has an excellent track record only if they let their watercolor Animation division handle this adaptation.

Cromartie Creator's Double-J Moe Manga Gets TV Anime
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news...-gets-tv-anime

The wraparound jacket band on the fourth volume of Eiji Nonaka and Maru Asakura's Double-J manga is announcing this month that a television anime adaptation of the manga has been green-lit.The anime will run in NTV's Yuruani? program, which currently runs Flash-animated shorts of several manga. Nonoka, who also created Cromartie High School (Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou), wrote this moe manga about the surreal, strange "life in a high school full of cute girls" with art by Asakura (090 - Eko to Issho, Pochi).

It's pretty interesting manga, but so weird seeing Eiji Nonaka doing Moe comedy

Cromartie High School
Some of the manliest Stuff you'll see.





Double-J
Moe Comedy and A lot of Fanservice.

[Correction]

At first I was "WTF from Cromartie to THAT?" Then I realized he was only the writer and not the artist.

Cromartie is probably one of the most overlooked anime ever, I loved the shit out of that series.

[Elcura]

Cromartie is amazing, but I wouldn't recommend it to a lot of people for some reason... I dunno why.

[Correction]

I frequently recommend off-the-wall shit to people, just to feel good about defending anime that isn't loaded with harems of moeblob stereotypes and WSJ power fantasy treadmills.

[Man0warr]

Has there been an anime announced for Little Busters yet?

Well J.C.STAFF just gave this series the seal of death. by removing the moe/fanservice factors. personally I'm pretty happy with this change.

Railgun Chapter 41 (Leaked)

Well The Queen's Character design and name has been revealed. also a huge time skip has accrued (The Touma and Misaka fake date and Remnant Arc were cut). kinda disappointing I have loved to see Awaki's debut in Railgun manga and the amazing Accelerator Punch.

I don't like her design *it's too cute* and I always pictured her as a crazy bitch. of course the JP are loving her cuteness.

OMG KAIJI IS GETTING TOO FUCKING GOOD. I love the part where goes "sit the fuck down" so boss, so Kaiji.

I never finished watching Nodame and the manga seems to have fell off the face of the earth. Anything ever happen in it?

Pretty sure the manga is over.

Kaiji 8 was fantastic, this show gets me so hype.

I don't know what I would do if Noitamina's timeslot disappeared...3/4 of the animes I enjoy these days are from it. Both C and ano hana were excellent this week.

Kaiji is so well done. The past season and this one... the recent episode was just great.

It's one series that I'd recommend to anyone and everyone.
