Anime Thread. [Prob not 56k safe]

Perfect. Thank you much (and bookmarked the site for that).

The ones I don't even have to think about:
Index
Bakuman
Arakawa

The ones I might pick up

Hakuouki (Anyone know how the first season ended up? I started watching them, but fell behind after episode 3-4)
Togainu No Chi (sounds and looks interesting. I hope it's a good serious Anime; too few of them these days)

I like the art in the picture for Letter Bee. I recall seeing the first season of it on some lists a while back, but the synopsis didn't sound very interesting. Of course, this description of it hints that it's more sci-fi than I had realized, so I might try to catch up on that one as sci-fi is my favorite genre overall regardless of media type.

Is there anything on this list that I haven't mentioned that I would be an idiot not to follow? I don't get much from fan-service centric series, so it would have to have some major redeeming qualities to catch my interests (like zombies).

I dunno if I would call anybody an idiot for not following it, but have you tried Star Driver? First episode was ok. I think Zilong summarized it pretty well lol:

Star Driver is animated by Bones, so you can expect quality. It's kinda on the more fabulous side, it's like a mix of Super Robot and Magical Girl series...so it's more or less G-Gundam with high school life.

[Kaylia]

I'm not sure if anyone care, but Sora no woto 2nd ova was subbed a few days ago. It was a decent episodes that made me wish for a sequel...one that deal with the world backstory instead of slice-of-life bullshit.

[Ker]

I liked the final OVA, good ending. though I don't think it'll get a sequel since DVD/BD didn't sell all that well. I don't regret watching since it was one of the better series that premiered this past winter and My favorite episode was episode 7, in which the people of Seize celebrated the Fiesta des Lumiéres, which triggered Filicia's memories of the members of her previous platoon, who all died in combat. with an epilogue of destruction of the world by an alien creature.

With Most Fall Shows aired my Anime List has been surprisingly large than perverse two:
-Sora no Otoshimono f (Great Guilty Pleasure, most like I will buy the whole BD of second season).
-Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt(fun eye candy).
-Bakuman(Solid show even if it's a budget title).
-STAR DRIVER (Utena with mechs).
-My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute (I'm pleased they didn't Sexulize the character like in the manga).
-Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls.
-Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge(more of the same)
-Otome Youkai Zakuro
-Shinryaku! Ika Musume(If they can keep it up, it'll be the comedy of this season).
-The World God Only Knows(enjoyed the first episode a lot and can't wait for more).
-Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru (Shaft with Maids)
-To Aru Majutsu no Index II(Duh and another show I'll buy Whole BD set).

Shit Of The Season
FORTUNE ARTERIAL(bored me to tears)
Yosuga no Sora (If I want to see Incest and masturbation, I will watch hentai. I seriously expected they would cut all this shit out).

[CrimsonAngel]

-To Aru Majutsu no Index II(Duh and another show I'll buy Whole BD set).

Are you gonna wait for the english version and just watch subs, or buy the original japanese?? from what i've heard the japanese releases are damn expensive

[Kalima]

Does anyone know if there's a group releasing Samurai girls without all the annoying black censoring blotches or do we basically have to wait for DVD/BR release for uncensored version?
Just watched episode 2 and it seemed they we're throwing them in at random during the fight scene which was beyond annoying...

[Ker]

uncensored episode airs a week after each new episode. the first uncensored episode airs today.

Original Japanese since they include audio commentary by voice cast. and Mini Novels(Index S1 BD had Railgun Mini novels. while Railgun had Kanzaki SS novels), sketches, interviews, fan reactions and Railgun+Index Radio show. all that good stuff that's cut from English release(English version won't even have a BD release from what I remember).

It is expensive but if a show is worth it. and all the extra are good I don't mind spending the money. but I do buy English Versions I just got Toradora Box Set1+2 today, The booklet is fantastic.

Spoiler: show

I don't think any TV stations are airing it uncensored. Seems to be less to censor than Queen's Blade anyways.

[Ker]

AT-X? that's the station airing it today. They are famous for airing the anime shows uncensored(H.O.T.D aired like 11:30 am and only censoring was minor blood, gore scenes but all sexual content was intact).

[warc]

Togainu no Chi.

Thats a BL series afaik. So expect that supercool synopsis to turn into a lot of pretty boys running around doing typical shounen-ai stuff. No offense if you are into that sort of thing.

Ika Musume, it's the funniest comedy this season, and that's saying a lot with Arakawa s2 running this season.

[Ker]

Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru? another comedy show, it's done by Shaft. it's pretty good so far.

Shinryaku! Ika Musume Ep2 was another lol factor. I hope they can keep it up, This probably my biggest surprise of fall season.

My favorite scene of second ep.

To me, the OP to Soredemo is about its highest point, but it's shaft so I'm hoping it'd grow on me.

Supposedly Ryuumaru will be re-doing episode 1 if the AT-X version turns out to be uncensored.

[Scythiroth]

Ika Musume, it's the funniest comedy this season, and that's saying a lot with Arakawa s2 running this season.

Had to check it out after this comment, but it actually lived up to it. So random and hilarious, definitely on my watch list this season now.

I dunno, Ika Musume barely made me laugh. It was entertaining, but not so funny. I'll give the 2nd episode a shot, though. If anything, it'll at least be one of those shows I can finish but then forget about soon after.

I was about to post something similar. I enjoyed the show, but I didnt think it was particularly funny (the only scene that made me laugh was the puking one). That said, nothing in it made me rage, and the whole show was very cute/relaxing, so I can imagine watching the whole season.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I felt too.

Also, how many months are in between each Gundam Unicorn episode?

-.- I had to google that... and after watching the first episode, it seems that you're probably right. Damnit.
