Is escaflowne good y/n? Comparable to Gundam/Code Geass/Gurren Lagann in regards to the mecha. Any other good mecha animes besides Macross Frontier?

I'd go Gun X Sword before Escaflowne.

Escaflowne is amazing. Just stay away from the movie.

The Index novels actually jump to other characters PoV alot, I think volume 3 the railgun girl is the pov.

the movie was badass, though it won't make much sense if you haven't seen the anime first.

Ah. What's the resolution? 700x400 or the 1280x768 HD?

you do realize it's an ova and thus from a DVD and thus not HD, right

just saying

Spice and Wolf was an excellent anime. I can't wait for season 2. Horo just may be my new favorite anime girl-ish character.

So for anyone still wondering about Casshern Sins, its really compelling. The story is good and its not your typical story telling. It's really good and I hope the future episodes are just as good because the production quality on the first two episodes is amazing.

For anyone that watched the first season, the second season of Nodame Cantabile started.

I'm almost up to like 10 weekly animes that I am watching now. x.x

It was a nice change of pace to watch first season, but I can't say I'm really excited with a 2nd season. I might watch next summer when I'm bored.

Gonna start downloading it...I'm not following any series this season and don't know what to watch.

I know right? So much anime this season to watch, and with the second episode of Toradora being good, I doubt I'll drop any of them midway.

Add in Jigoku Shoujo later on, maybe.

Last 3 posts are lol.

"I have 10 anime I watch weekly"
"I don't watch any atm"
"I watch a ton too!"

I need some more anime to watch. I watch a few, but I always need more. Macross Frontier and Spice and Wolf are two genres I probably would most like to see more of. Preferably completed seasons, I hate getting into an anime and having to wait next week from some big cliffhanger (a part of Spice and Wolf I enjoy, I'll love season 2 but I'm not "OMG MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS" about it)

[Man0warr]

Spice and Wolf is pretty unique...try Natsume Yuujinchou

[Zilong]

Background-wise, kannagi is somewhat similar to spice and wolf, though i doubt nagi is even half as smart as horo on things.

[Man0warr]

Nagi and Horo talk the same.

Well, I usually avoid watching animes weekly, unless I watched first season. I always enjoy show that I watch in one sitting more than the one I watch weekly

Anyway, no sequel for me this season, and I didnt try try anything yet. That's why I still have 0 animes on my list.


[edit]
And spice and wolf was awesome, even if it's not action heavy. I love relaxing anime that are well done (good script, clever ideas, nice art)

Yeah, but that kinda makes it fun to watch. Horo's insights on trading were great, so it's a nice difference.

Yeah, Horo actually bringing something to the trade table was nice, really makes the "Horo the Wise" nickname viable. And it probably is a key part in what made the anime so enjoyable. The interaction between Lawrence and Horo was great overall too, though.

I read chapter 1 of Kannagi, not sure how much I'd like it. I see how it's similar to Spice and Wolf in backround, but it seems less...real. Kinda silly to say that about supernatural manga/anime but I think you know what I mean.

I just enjoy watching the relationship craft and horo had. It's like they flirt constantly, but have no real sexual tension whatsoever, but they actually cares a lot about each other.

A nice fresh air in the atmosphere filled with stagnant KY guys and tsundere bitches

I wouldn't go as far as saying there wasnt any sexual tension, Horo was a tease the whole time >_>. But unlike other anime, it wasn't full of awkward situation or one sided flirting.
