I love episode 6 so much. The uncut version, of course. :D

Its a calm before the storm and a good one at that.

Gurren Lagann episode 7:

You've got one episode to live Kamina...

It was pretty good. I do however, agree with, I believe it was Matrixbeast, that it seems like Kamina tries too hard to be really, really manly. As soon as I saw that giant Gunman, I knew where this was going. It was nice to See Simon pilot Gurren Lagann, rather than Kamina. Watching this show...I can say that I do want the Riobot Gurren Lagann, I like Gurren Lagann's design quite a bit, and the show isn't too bad.

while watching "Lucky Star" i saw this during the end credits:

Oh you poor poor soul... I just watched it for Lucky Channel.

Lucky Star's actually pretty good, though...

Have you ever watched the Lucky Star opening with the Death Note opening music? It is amazing how well they go together.

AKB0048 season 2 episode 8:

Well...it seems like Yuuko's dead...or at least gone. I totally called that. She was the cool one, and the cool one always dies. Dang DES got bold in this episode. Attacking Akibastar directly. There was more action in this episode, which is always a good thing.

I didn't really care for it. Especially since everyone in my school's anime/manga club was going nuts over it. So when I finally sat down to watch I just thought "... It's okay." Then everyone flipped out at me for not loving it.

I did find the show mildly amusing, but it was hyped to shit (at least on my end) and it just didn't live up to that hype... except for Lucky Channel, seriously why didn't they just make that the entire show again?

I enjoyed Lucky Star but I completely understand that feeling. I had exactly the same with Haruhi.

Apart from Disappearance, which I loved to pieces.

Fortunately I saw the first episode of Haruhi at Anime North without knowing what it was. That's normally how I prefer to go into an anime, without people breathing down my throat screaming "THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!" That's why I stay away from shows like Sword Art Online and Attack on Titan until the hype dies down. Then I can view the show for what it is, and not what the fans make it out to be.

I'm watching Digimon Adventure on Nick... Why the hell does Fridgymon have the voice of Robin Williams? XD And why didn't i ever notice this before?

AKB0048 episode 10

Not using spoiler tags, since no one here watches it.

AKB0048 finds there way to the Mushroom Hill zone (and we get a Toad reference). Apparently there are some mushrooms on this planet that make you hallucinate. They find some monsters, and they sing to connect with them (I really should've seen that coming, considering this show is co-directed by Shoji Kawamori). It was a very good episode, but I really felt the hand of Kawamori during this episode.

EDIT: episode 11

HOLY CRAP!!!! Chieri's dad just got assassinated! I know he was a man with twisted ambitions, but dang...this show never had this much blood. Who assassinated him? It was good that we got some more backstory on Chieri, though.

EDIT 2: episode 12

Alright! Time to take back Akibastar! Wow, the entire populace decided to turn into a bunch of jerks...

er...anyway. Things got kind of dark. Apparently Earth was blown up. I hate it when space-age fiction does that...and AKB48 was referenced, which was cool.

EDIT 3: What an ending! The concert/fight was really cool and very well done in this episode. AKB0048 took back Akibastar with the hopes and dreams of the nameless people in the galaxy, and yay! Yuuko returned! She needs a figma, or Figuart, or something. Nagisa became the new Acchan, and Chieri became the new Center Nova. I hope it gets a third season, but I fear that it may not, considering there was no teaser like there was last season.

I will once again rant, The fact that this show has no toys aside from 2 Figuarts ZEROs is a crime. Even after 2 seasons, nothing. For crying out loud...how hard would it be to make figmas? If a show like Strike Witches can get figmas, why can't this show? (Yes, I dislike Strike Witches, panty shots on a 14 year old just ain't right. Even more so considering how much *ahem* detail they draw in.) I just want my figma Nagisa and Yuuko. :I I don't even need figures of the robots (which would be awesome, for those of you who haven't seen the show, the robots look like a VF-25 mixed with a Quadluun Rae, and Machine Itasshar-ized) I would be more than happy with even one articulated figure. *sigh* ok, rant over.

Nick is showing Digimon? Cool.

I have a question.

Do the Macross Movies take place in the same Universe has Robotech?

I assume you mean Do You Remember Love? because that's the only Macross film that would even remotely connect with Robotech.

And no, DYRL is a retelling of the series.

I'm asking about all of them. Because they have one or two on the Netflix, I think. And I didn't know if they were the same universe or what.

Nah, after all only the first third of Robotech is Macross-related. I've never watched Robotech but I'd imagine there'd be too many inconsistencies to make it work.

No, not even the non-canon one. Macross and Robotech are two completely different shows save for the "Macross Saga" part of Robotech being the original Macross series (even then they changed some things, like the ending). Other than the original Macross series, nothing from the Macross franchise is part of Robotech franchise and vice versa.

Okie dokie, thanks guys. Now that I know that going in I won't be has confused :lol

Robotech is related to Macross the same way Voltron is related to Golion, which is the same way that Mighty Morphing Power Rangers is related to Zyu, Dai, and Kaku. The footage is the same, but the characters, plot, etc are all different.

Robotech is actually three different Japanese series combined into one story, Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada. None of them have any relation with each other in Japan.

Voltron is compiled of two series, Beast King Golion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV, which again, have nothing in common with each other.

Don't forget the proposed 3rd Gladiator Voltron. Intended to be based on Lightspeed Electroid Albegas. The footage from the Voltron edit of maybe the first Albegas episode is floating around out there and apparently the toys saw a brief test release.

Just finished re-watching Blue Drop for the fifth time. I love this show so much! Seriously, more people need to see and it sucks that it might possibly keep the status of an unheard of gem forever. I can't quite explain what it is about Blue Drop that makes it so special, but I can say this.

I first found it when surfing the net for anime (yes I'm guilty of that from time-to-time) looking for something in the yuri genre (don't know what yuri is? Don't look it up... stop going to the google bar!) anyway, I found Blue Drop and wound up getting sucker punched by the series I dug up for... yeah, that kind of reason. Point being, Blue Drop is one of the most beautiful and heart warming anime shows that I have ever seen.

From the music, to the animation and simply the story itself, Blue Drop is a something that I just can't put into words. You just need to see it. If you need any motivation, keep in mind there are only three anime shows (at the moment of this post) that had me crying actual tears by the end, and Blue Drop is one of them (the other two being Madoka Magica and Air)

Please, whether you find yourself with nothing to watch, or just want to do a friend (me!) a favor, check this show out. If you're at all disappointed, you can rider kick me all the way to the moon. Also, so there isn't any confusion about which show it is, here's the opening! (which again is amazing!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF3-ldkf0MQ

I never noticed all the self advertisement and references Vanguard has.

I'll watch it, if you watch AKB0048. (or Star Driver)

That opening is just wow drawed me in to it well need to download it latter but is this a proper no hentaiish yuri anime as girl love girl type story but not hentai like due to there a few yaoi non hentai anime out there due to I know a friend and she like thoes anime

Haiyore Nyaruko San episode 10

Not very many kamen Rider references :(. They did reference Macross a lot, which was nice, I guess. I say I guess, since it was through Nyaruko's sneezing.

i think it's episode 9 that had a lot of the references.

It did, but there was only one Kamen Rider reference in 10

I've been meaning to watch Star Driver, so I guess I'll check that one out. Also, I'm not really a big fan of Idol Anime. Nothing against the genre, but it's just not my thing.

It's a straight, non hentai story. Nothing is played up for fan service and the only time that a character is played up as being super hot is when one of the other characters views them as super hot... and that only happens once. I showed Blue Drop to a friend of mine and they didn't even pick up on the fact that it was a yuri anime until episode 4. Though really it's more Shoujo Ai then full blown yuri.

Alright. Go watch Star Driver!

... Okie dokie lokie! :D

Ok, a deal's a deal. Time to go watch Blue Drop.

It starts kind of slow, but trust me it's worth it.

Ok, Everywhere I go no video pops up...

Oh, and I will say this about AKB0048...if you enjoyed Macross 7 and Macross Frontier, you'll probably enjoy AKB0048. (Not you specifically guncannon, I'm speaking in general terms.)

Okay, this one should work... if you like dubs... I do! :D
http://justdubs.tv/anime/dubbed/blue-drop/

I must say, I'm not much of a Macross fan. Although I do enjoy putting my jet transformers into Gerwalk (I hope I spelled that right :lol) mode.

Yes, you spelled it right, and I like dubs. :D

Great!... No back to Star Driver.

My friend began watching One Piece this year. She began trashing the dub after I told her I watched it back wen I was a wee lad (she particularly hated the fact that Zorro was called "Zolo").

Anyway, I recently finished the Avatar series up to its current point… how long do we have to wait until Legend of Korra Book Two airs?

Oh god, you told her about the 4Kids dub? Thank Godoka for Funimation, they saved that show over here so much!

i though justdubs was shut down :confused: :eyebrow
