good luck bringing a girl home to that

I doubt people who wallpapers their room with anime characters actually give a damn about real women to begin with.

11 eyes

Spoiler: show

A thriller eroge turned anime. I was reluctant to take a dive into this, but I am decently happy with the first episode. Since I didn't see any translated versions out yet, I will give a semi-detailed synopsis.

The anime starts with a flash back to the main character, Satsuki Kakeru, seeing his sister die due to what appears to be stomach wounds from flying chains, I am guessing this is going to be explained a bit later. Kakeru appears to be around the age of 9-10 years old. His friend, Yuka, witnesses it in shock as Kakeru falls down.

OP

We also see a red haired miko doing a type of incantation and attacked by flames. She is scarred with some type of kanji on her forearm.

The anime flash forwards to the present where you see Kakeru wasting time on their school roof and Yuka visits him. The main character has a rather large and prominent eyepatch covering his right eye, which is explained as blindness and heterochromia.

Anywho, we get introduced to two friends who seem meaningless. They invite Kakeru and Yuka to an outlet mall but Kakeru declines despite Yuka's eagerness. As a result, Yuka then decides to not go. (They seem inseparable). They return to Yuka's home and we are told that the two are adopted orphans in separate homes. Kakeru decides to go with Yuka to the outlet mall anyways out of guilt.

While they are crossing a bridge, they just randomly, and through a traumatic way, transport to a parallel world that is filled with a red sky. Devoid of any other people, they encounter horribly designed monsters. They at this point return back to the normal world. Kakeru has a dream of a girl resembling his dead sister and Yuka wakes him up indicating that she couldn't sleep.

When they get to their school, a new transfer student who is quiet is introduced. Shiori seems to only have a peculiar interest in Kakeru and confronts him. When she does, Yuka feints from being unable to sleep the night before. Kakeru carries Yuka to the nurses' office wedding style.

They encounter a delinquent who seems to be an important character, unnamed but is Takahisa, at the nurse's office. The nurse is big tittied and asks Yuka if her and Kakeru are dating, when he leaves.

The anime wraps up Kakeru and Yuka deciding to go to the outlet mall again and spend the remaining of the day as sort of a date. Yuka asks to have Kakera use her lap as a pillow and the two gets transferred to the parallel crimson sky world again. Surrounded by the monsters, the anime ends with Kakeru seeing his dead sister, or who looks like her.

I have to say, this anime has decent quality in animation style, pace, and voice acting. Daisuke Ono is Kakeru's voice. He is Itsuki in Haruhi, Battler from Umineko, Maya, Student council president, from Mamorukun. His voice is older but strong and rough. His voice sets the tone of a stronger main character for a bishoujo harem type but well for this thriller type. Yuka is voiced by Mai Goto. She lended her voice to the little sister characters in Happiness!, Nogizaka Haruka no himitsu and Kemeko Deluxe!. I guess its fitting considering Yuka's small slender stature in the anime.

Overall, I have to say that this will probably be an interesting sleeper anime with fan-service, violence, and some gore. Noticed a lot of pantie shots, but one lengthy close up one was "steamed" out. The nurse had jiggly boobs that moved freakishly independently. There is no violence yet, but its preluded by the OP that they will be fighting in a sort of fantasy-sword type of way.

Crunchyroll will be hosting streaming for this, so episodes will be there and other places relatively quickly. Hopefully it won't be poorly translated.

Anywho, I think its worth checking out.

I'm surprise you didn't mention that 11 eyes feels like persona

[Wolfknight]

i've been keeping up with it and enjoying it for the most parts mostly because the humor really fits what i like. it can get boring at times but there's always a little bit of action per episode and usually the funniest parts of the ep are mid battle .

haven't watched all up to current yet, but this.

[Gulkeeva]

man like.. every single anime this season cept 2 out of like 8-10 are ecchi in some way... it makes me so happy *sniff sniff* so looking forward to watching it all *wipes a tear of joy*

Glad I'm not the only one who think that.

Tried watching Needless, I guess the title speaks everything about the random fanservice, but I'll give it a few more episode before passing my judgment. Can't say I quite enjoy it though, the bitch being pseudo gurren lagann is about the only thing borderline interesting.

Also watched Kobato, all I can say about it is that the OP is about the only thing I actually enjoy about it.

I don't mind fanservice series but it's sad that companies are doing this cause it's safest way for making money than taking risks on edgy shows.

on Kampfer i have mix feeling i read the whole novel+Manga available but the terrible animation, cutting character development and some worse voice acting killed any enjoyment may come from the show for me.

PS one girls will try to rape the protagonist in future eps I'm sure you'll love that Gulkeeva lol

The day we get 10/10 ecchi animes is the day where I will quit watching anime and go back to reading. I can't believe how stale it got over the last 10 years.

At least, the good one are still awesome.

Dark times indeed, at least there's still good TV shows though.

[Cjskater]

As long as ecchi supplements the show (ex: Diebuster) then I have no problem having a season full of tits and DATASS.

[Zilong]

it'd be one thing if it's that

most of them are just milking ecchi to distract the audience on the fact that the series has horrible plot and characters.

[EternalSnow]

Is it tru that the bleach movie with rukia going all badass darkside is out on the web?

[Scythiroth]

Really liked Kobato's first episode, but I have a weakness for anime like this every once in a while. Action and comedy are great and all, but I don't like overloading my anime collection with just those genres.

[Wolfknight]

yea it was released by subbed by Dattebayo sunday so should be able to find it subbed.

The final episode of the "renewed" airing of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime series ended on Friday with an announcement of The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya (Suzumiya Haruhi no Shōshitsu) film. The film will open in Japanese theaters in the spring of 2010

Still too fucking late for me to have any semblance of faith toward the series after S2 though.

Meh, they should have not done the many Endless Eight and let those 6-ish episodes to fit it into the movie...

[Khajit]

Or a FastForward montage of the endless eight episodes on the "second" repeat going over and over a few times.

I want to say this is horrible, but as someone who pays for none of his anime, I will watch it. It can't be worse than season 2!

[popsiclestix]

Actually this is a great idea for KyoAni. It will fuck over us people who leech it for free as getting a DVD quality copy will be difficult. A DVD version will probably take a year after release to come stateside... that said, the quality better be astounding. Disappearance is one of the best novels. Disassociation would be just as good as well, but that is far into the future and probably the 2nd movie i bet =P.
