So, I finally finished Gundam 00. And that was pretty gosh darn fantastic. My only problem is, once again, the pacing. With the exception of Mr. Bushido, every nemesis character is killed/defeated in the last 3 or so episodes. That, along with every one of the twenty-some subplots being resolved at the same time made the ending feel very rushed. I feel that if these plot points were individually resolved in their own separate episodes (or maybe 2 or 3 at a time), they could've been fleshed out more it wouldn't have been nearly as rushed. But as a whole, it was a good ending. I was also disappointed with how little the Reborns did, I'd always assumed that it was the primary antagonistic MS of season 2. It seemed almost an afterthought, as it barely lasted half an episode and wasn't even used for the true final battle. Also they did a crap job of explaining how Setsuna and Louise magically became Innovators, I'm still not sure how that worked.


But as a whole, it was a great show. I'm going to wait a bit before watching the movie, though, I'd like to let this ending sink in before I possibly ruin it with a movie that gets very mixed reviews.

So... Nanoha Vivid is getting an anime:

Dang, that means I finally have to finish Strikers.
Hope it also leads to Force being adapted.

Force my least favourite. Vivid was awesome still reading the manga on that one.

Also I'm watching dragon ball z from season five on wards due to I watched season 1-4 so many time before I owned the other seasons. I skipped the other world tournament arc cause I found it boring.

Ohhh, I didn't catch the fact the Ali shot him with GN Particles. Makes more sense now.

Yeah. A lot of things in the 00 universe prior to season 2 have weird fatal properties. And then they develop amazing properties that season on lol.

Watching No Game No Life because of boredom. Few episodes later, SUDDENLY ARROW TO THE KNEE JOKE! The joke is never going away, is it?

I dont get to watch anime as much as i do before. I am currently watching This old anime Gilgamesh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbpHxrMT4X0
Someone from work lend me the dvd. I haven't got pass ep 3 yet lool

Currently watching Gugure Kokuri-san and not sure whether I should laugh or get the feels...so I did both.

That anime. It's kind of sad, but it's funny at the same time. Not gonna say any thing else about it.

Gilgamesh is a pretty good anime, at least until its final episode. -_-

BTW, did you know Gilgamesh is based off a manga by Kamen Rider creator Ishinomori?

Rewatching Chuunibyou right now. The only difference is it's the dubbed version. Not bad so far for the first episode.

I enjoy Funimation older dubbed shows before 2013-2014.

Chuubinyou English dub report: so far so good. The voices for all the characters sound pretty good.

Who dubbing it

SentaiFilmWorks

Oh I like there dubs. Some times. I'll give it shot when blu ray out in the UK .b

Chuubinyou English dub report 2: love the choices for this dub! They fit so well together!

Not sure if I should continue updates about anime viewing about Precures series on here or on the the more specific precure thread.

Well anyways, I have gotten up to the Cure sunshine debuting in Heartcatch and so overall heartcatch has been really good so far.

Gundam Wing ep. 18

Ah, it's good to be back. The mediocre dubbing, the retro animation - and of course the Tallgeese being awesome. I loved that scene where Zech's helmet slowly shattered, but I really don't get what caused it. Was it just the sheer amount of Gs that it was being subjected to as he was zipping around?

explosions, G forces, etc etc.

also, i find the dubbing to be pretty good for medium quality dubbing.

Today was a Sailor Moon day. First off, we watched the final disc to the first BD volume. There are some really interesting episodes to be found in that batch, but for the most part, they are some pretty dull episodes.

Then we watched the new episode of Crystal and oh my fucking god, I expected the anime to at least fix the ADD pacing of the episode, but nope. They decided to spend 3 minutes on a transformation sequence rather than actually make the story sensible. This was as much garbage as this very manga chapter.

Oh yeah, and Crunchyroll is absolute garbage when it comes to streaming. I haven't been able to watch a single Crystal episode without it either freezing, buffering, going out of HD, since the 8th episode. Thank the gods I use my friend's account as it is not worth paying for myself.

maybe you just had a bad connection at the time? Crunchy usually works for me.

Samurai Flamenco just had a cameo in Durarara!!x2. :O

For 7 episodes straight? Like tonight I had to switch over to the PS4 because teh episode stopped working 8 minutes in on my PS3. Plus, it went out of HD for the first 4 minutes.

A few weeks back it got so bad I had to just download the fansub and watch it that way because none of my machines would make it past the 6 minute mark.

So I finally done what I wanted to do with z since BOG came out l. I watched the first 288 of Z followed by Son goku and his friends return then BOG and then the last three episode of z being 289-291.

I enjoy Nanoha, I really do, the first show was a compelte surprise, A's was amazing all along and the movies seem to be every bit as good, it's a fun franchise, but there's one installment I've never finished, and with Vivid around the corner I need to.

I've tried on at least 5 different times to watch Strikers, and I have failed every single time, the changes are not what bother me, the time skip is fine by me, the new cast is likeable as well, magic as technology is something I totally dig, and the Bureau has always been a cool aspect of the canon.

But I can't get into the pacing, 6 episodes in nothing noteworthy has happened, the first season introduced Fate early on, A's brought the Belkan Knights to the spotlight even faster, so I can't understand why Strikers has wasted all it's time on nothing but training sequences and fights against gadgets, heck, both ideas sound good on paper, training is something the previous cast never really did, and the gadgets having anti magic is very interesting, but ultiamtely the training is repetitive and boring and the gadgets are nowhere near as dynamic as real foes would be.

6 episodes might sound like nothing, but that's half of either Nanoha or A's, shows that knew where they wanted to go and did so with great pace, Strikers has interesting ideas and the combat style of the new gang is really good, but dang, it is a struggle to watch it.

And while we are at it, on a completely biased note, I am still mad after all these years that Hayate is permanently stuck behind a desk.

StrikerS can be a dit of a dry burn at first, but once the Numbers start showing up the show starts getting good.

I can't wait for that part, because it looks awesome, but ughh, this start has never been easy on me. :lol

Is it just me has Aldnoah.Zero just really become boring... Can't really get myself to watch the next episode.

Well, every ep is pretty much the same.
-Talk.
-Enemy appears.
-Deploy units.
-Exploit weakness.
-Talk more.

That's probably why... Like honestly nothing has move forward aside well for Slaine being more of a jerk.

I'm in the same boat as you with strickerS

Why is that show/season called strickerS when reading quickly I read stickers. instead.

I think he ment to spell it as: StrikerS

StrikerS... Stickers... StrikerS... Stickers...

Know what? StrikerS might be subpar, but I'd rather take that than Nanoha Stickers. :lol

I've decided I'm going to wait until the season is over before I watch both seasons. This way, if the ending sucks ass, I'm not going to bother.

Slaine's being an jerk...?

Dammit.

Gundam Wing 19-21

Is "kill it" Heero's only solution to anything in this show? It's almost funny at this point how predictably grim he is. Oh, and apparently Lady Anne has multiple personalities. I still think Allelujah did it better, but I'll give it time to pan out before any final judgements. I love how the writers can't decide if the dolls are faster than piloted MS or if it depends on the pilot skill. In one scene, Trowa talks about how they have the same specs as a standard grunt, and then minutes later you have Zechs in the Tallgeese (which has been established to be absurdly fast) commenting on how much faster they are.

It's Lady Une. As in 1.
