Oh boy... All I have to say is "brace yourself. " Also as far as the films go all you need to watch that's connected to the series is End of Evangelion, just tell Death and Rebirth to fuck off.

1) Run! Run while you still can!
2) The only reason this show inspired anyone was because everyone who watched it thought "I can do better than this garbage."
3) RUN!
4) Yes, I am being nice when I use the word "garbage."

Don't listen to the Haters (Blade Raider), Neon Genesis only gets better! But be warned.. the movie is really messed up.

Yeah I was going to ask about the films. Are these the ones marked 1.11 and what not? Or are those different?

Haha I take it you aren't a fan? I've heard that people either love Evangelion or they hate it. Not much in between.

lol DOn't worry, that will end in a few episodes. When you finish, you will wonder why the hell you wasted your time.

It's not the worst thing ever, but it isn't one I care to ever suffer through again.

You just need to be aware of End of Evangelion right now, which is an alternative ending to the series. 1.11 is the first in a series of remakes/imaginings.

I've never really been into anime or manga. I subscribed to Shonen Jump but that was mostly for Yugioh cards. i tried reading the beginning of Naruto and started reading Psyren along with the first Volume of Bakuman. I did get 12 volumes into Beet. I've seen only DBZ up to King Cold, Yugioh at parts, and High school of the dead. So what would be a good place to start? Gundam?

algo448 07-29-2013 06:02 PM
If you are looking for Real Robot action, then yeah the gundam series are a good choice, but the first thing you have to ask yourself, is which genre of anime/manga are you interested in watching.

Locke 07-29-2013 06:03 PM
Big O and TTGL are the only mech anime I have truly fallen in love with. I also loved the hell out of Zoids as a kid, but it looks like that will never be subbed...

Well then, you have not seen Eureka Seven.

losondro 07-29-2013 06:11 PM
Vandread is another Mech series that is alright, but those who don't like Fanservice be wary. on a side note, the fanservice for vandread isn't bad, it's about 10 or more tiers below HOTD.

Klonoahedgehog 07-29-2013 07:22 PM
Out of curiosity i checked out the Stitch because they mentioned in an episode of the Birth by sleep playthrough that there's an episode that Stitch meets Lilo all grown up.

I felt my childhood die at the backstory that Lilo grew up and left Stitch. After that i got bored.

Speaking of good mecha anime, I'm really enjoying the currently airing Majestic Prince, it has a cast of likable characters, including two of the main five being voiced by ShinkenBlue and GokaiSilver's actors, and the fights are pretty great, too.

Out of the three mecha shows that started last season, it's the only one I would even call good(Valvrave was really enjoyable, but not good by any means of the word, and Gargantia was flat out boring.) Unfortunately, Majestic Prince had a somewhat slow start and a rather hated character designer, known for such shows as Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny, but it's definitely worth checking out.

Sorry, but I become like Shinji when I watch that show. Instead of, "Why does my dad hate me?" I think, "Why does this show hate me?"

I forgot to also mention Code Geass, Death Note, Big O, Wolf's Rain, and then a variety of Gundam series such as Zeta, Double Zeta, 0083, and most of all, Gundam Wing.

I'll check it out!

Watch New Mobile Report Gundam Wing, it's AWESOME.

Just curious, did you watch the entire series? Because the first episode was flat out boring (too much techno babel), but then the second episode was really intersting.

Locke 07-30-2013 09:10 AM
I liked what I saw of Gargantia, only got through about three episodes though because I'm an unfocused douche when it comes to shows. But I thought the actual mech whose name escapes me right now was damn ugly and considering how small it appeared from the outside always made me wonder how it was so huge on the inside. I guess I should ask the Doctor about that.

Locke 07-30-2013 11:48 AM
So I watched the first episode of Majestic Prince and I loved it. I don't really have anything more to add because it was just that good. Looks like I know what I'm gonna be catching up on now!

ZeoRangerV 07-30-2013 12:23 PM
Checked out a raw version of the Toei Robot Girls Z episode 0 preview. I hope someone picks it up for subbing, because this looks like it'll be a fun little web series.

Yeah, I finished it. I thought the series had interesting set up and the world it built up was great, but it spent almost the entire first 8 episodes doing almost nothing, then it picked up the plot about the squids actually being humans who had "evolved" which ended up not really going anywhere, and then the last few episodes were spent on a plot that was somewhat interesting, but clearly not meant to be wrapped up as quickly as it was.

Honestly I think had the series been given two seasons, and gone at the same pace it did, it could've turned out great, actually it almost seemed as if they were told they were going to get two seasons, and then at the last minute someone told them it was only one season.

Dr Kain 07-30-2013 04:41 PM
Without spoilers, yes or no will do, does it have an ending?

Majestic Prince 2 - the obligatory shout exposition episode. Still, it was a nice reactionary episode to the first one and they do a good job of making this feel like a real world with real people. With nice little story beats like adding the adverts to the mechs.

Although it's pure nonsense, I'm still grateful for the amount of effort they've put into their mechs in this show. Kinda disappointed that it isn't really them piloting though, since the JULIA system is basically doing all the work. The fights are stunning though.

ZeoRangerV 07-31-2013 03:19 AM
Will have to check out Majestic Prince, only I'm following enough this season already so I'll wait until its all done before giving it a go.

It's good so far, luckily aside from this the only other anime in my life is Shingeki. Really not much of an anime fan these days, every show seems to suffer from near enough the same problems and I got fed up in the end.

Locke 07-31-2013 08:18 AM
I was worried at first that episode three of Majestic Prince would be a filler episode, but this show is very focused on its story, characters and world so it actually turned out to be great. Great action again as well.

So episode four of Majestic Prince. I love how the tone of the series is set by the characters, and so as they are all basically kids, when the series gets dark it's not at a slit your writs level as the characters have yet to truly comprehend that they are in very real danger and could die, these really are some very well realised characters. The flashbacks and character interactions are more than welcome, even if it means less action. I can't wait to see more from Team Doberman!

I have to ask, is Kakashi actually blind? Because despite that huge scar and headband around his eyes he seems to be looking at that iPad just fine.

The only major complaints I have with it are how rushed the final episode felt and the lack of development for Rock Bison. Aside from that, I have nothing but praises for the show because its story was well told, the characters were all likable and outside of Rock Bison, they all had some really great development (especially Blue Rose and Origami), the music fit the mood, and it did not go into the standard cliches it could have done that you find in anime and super hero stories. Not to mention the entire series was quite enjoyable from start to finish. Lunatic remains my favorite character in the show (too bad he did not get more screen time), but I have to say that my favorite between the main eight is a tie between Barnaby and Blue Rose, with surprisingly Sky High in third. Although, for the other characters, Saito just down right rocks!! This show gets a solid 9/10 from me and is one of the best series to come out of Japan in a long time and is probably in my top 10 favorite anime series. I cannot wait for the movies to come out, especially the one that hits Japan next year.
I'm glad to see that you enjoyed it. (and yeah Lunatic is awesome.)

Anyway, fourteen was a fantastic episode, even if not a lot happened as it was just so dramatic and epic, Eren's speech and Levi's actions gave me chills. Levi is so so awesome, so I'm assuming he'll be dead soon.
My thoughts exactly. Speaking of Attack on Titan, I watched the first battle of the series...and...this show just isn't for me. It's just too dark (and gory) for me, and I've heard it get's darker.

It's like Gantz forgot to take its anti-depressants.

No but seriously some of this stuff is really fucking haunting, like it sticks in your head and makes you feel really shitty way afterwards. I still see some of their faces.
