Anime Thread. [Prob not 56k safe]

I'll probably get beaten for this but what is that clip from?
And moreover, what is that adorable catgirl in the Nyaa~ associated clip from (looks like the same thing though...)?

edit: nvm looks like Bakemonogatari? I have that dl'd, time to watch it...

The one fanservice anime that I can honestly watch with pride

[Silenka]

Yeah...yeah...exactly... so cute... I must have one... @_@

[Deadgye]

I recommend using qIIq-THORA for episodes 1-13 and getting 14/15 from where ever if you haven't watched it yet. Bakemonogatari is one of the few series I watched before it finished airing, and one of the few I've rated a 10/10.

edit: Why does japanese kills posts on this forum? D: I wanted to sing the bakemonogatari ending song D:

[Rivero]

I just saw Working! All in all it was pretty clever, the cast was enjoyable (only character I didn't like was Imari. ugh) Shame it was only 13 episodes though...

[Elcura]

Senjougahara only really labels herself as such, and is probably just playing the part to troll Araragi.

Still though, as a pretend tsundere, she's still leap and bound better than most if not all "real" tsundere...which kinda speaks volume of the entire character archetype.

I know she's playing the part, which makes it more enjoyable to watch. She does things and says some things a normal tsundere does, but then adds to it by being awesome.

FRACTALE Ep1

-Very good Animation.
-The style is very Studio Ghibli.
-Good voice cast.
-I don't like Clain's voice.
-Unoriginal plot but still very promising.
-Did we really need fanservice?
-The characters have a lot of charm and life to them.

Pretty good first episode, The characters are likable and the world is very interesting.

Character design for fractale makes me think of windmills, clogs, and well... the dutch... for some reason.

[Avvesione]

Fractale's world kinda reminds me of Aria, with the futuristic/classical look (plus his house being near the water). I'm hoping they go out and explore it more in the next episode instead of spending it indoors.

I was surprised by the amount of comedy there was. It was actually a pretty funny in parts.

Edit: Also, best OP of the season?

Like Araragi said on episode 12, there is not a single part of her that I don't love.

[Silenka]

Those Fractale screenshots really reminded me of like... Laputa + Kiki + Nausicaa with some Howl all in there smushed together, definitely a Ghibli vibe.

[drewbixcube]

Only 2 of the 5 Break Blade movies are out, correct?

[Man0warr]

Right.

[Zilong]

IS 2...the action scenes are decent, but about everything else is just some really boring high school bullshit with some country name throwing every now and then if the pattern continues. It's like Strike Witches with pants, which I don't think is a good thing.

[Ker]

Surprisingly weak season.

Watch List:

-Level E (this caught me by surprise. I wasn't expecting anything from it, but it turned out to be really good. The alien guy is awesome and hilarious).
-Fractal(a very detailed setting, Studio Ghibli animation and great tone to it).
-Yumekui Merry(sure it has its cliches, but the excellent style of animation and camera work is enough for me).
-FREEZING(Gore and violence).

Disappointing or flat out bad(I drop it):

-Gosick(Dull, dull, dull).
-I want you To Fuck Me, Big Brother(It's everything I expected from it. No originality and ugly character designs).
-Rio -RainbowGate(Shit)
-Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica(hey you know what's great? lets introduce telepathy, so we have even less shit to animate).
-Infinite Stratos(Star Driver is far more entertaining and Index S2 is all the harem I need).
-Beelzebub(OVA was superior and the manga is all I need).
-Wolverine(No thanks).
-Kimi ni Todoke Second Season(relationship reset) *still love the first season*
-Dragon Crisis (Fuck You Studio Deen).
-Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka?(I am now to the point where I will skip anything Deen does. Thanks Dragon Crisis).
-Hourou Musuko (Great art and drama but I was totally lost with the story. I am not reading the manga to fully understand it).

[Scythiroth]

I have to agree with Kimi ni Todoke. After last season's finale, it seemed like things were finally progressing, and then they were just like "screw that" and started it all over again? How dumb.

Index Season 2 Ep14

Time for Italy arc, and with any new arc we get a lot of fanservice and misfortune from Touma. The real story starts near the end of course.

-Minor complain no new Opening but New Ending
-The Italy Arc is only 3 episode long then the final Arc with 8 episodes of Accelerator goodness.

Spoiler: show

^
Touma is an idiot and Stop ruining Misaka's fun Kuroko.

[Man0warr]

I have to agree with Kimi ni Todoke. After last season's finale, it seemed like things were finally progressing, and then they were just like "screw that" and started it all over again? How dumb.

Exact same as the manga, it's slooooow paced.
