Kill la Kill was a whiplash of over the top action, great art and ridiculous fanservice.

100% sold.

This.

That was crazy... looking forward to the next episode. :D

So after a buddy of mine suggested a anime I check out, I watched the first episode, Ive marathoned to 10 now. :lol

Fairy Tail, yea its a great show so far. Natsu and Grey are cool characters. Lucy is the cute female lead. Happy is cool as a sidekick. Oh and Erza... -drool- Seriously, badass redhead? Hell yes! She also kicks ass, A LOT!

Alright! New season of Magi is back and the animation is top-notch as ever. The writers do seem to know how to adapt elements of the manga faithfully while condensing some parts which is a good idea considering how much of a quagmire the conclusion to the Magnostadt arc was in terms of art. I hope for they don't try to adapt that part faithfully if at all.

Meanwhile in the Future!... Diary.

Episode 13:

I swear this show keeps getting weirder and weirder... I knew Mao was gay for Hinata! :lol

Anyone interested in Physics-defying Inazuma Eleven? XD

Physics defying is an understatement. :lolol

-------------
First ep of Build Fighters, it's up to a good start. Good action and humor, and the relationship between Sei and Reiji will no doubt prove to be very interesting.

But seriously what's the deal with Reiji!?

I'm betting alien.

Build Fighters was okay. Of the preshow suits shown, Build Strike is the least interesting to me, so I'm waiting to see some of the rivals in action (mostly X Mao and Sengoku Astray). Also, after I attempted to watch Valvrave the Liberator last week, anything Gundam looks like a masterpiece. Even G-Savior (which seems to be absent from the "All Gundam" thing).


PS I did get a laugh out of Ramba Ral showing up out of no where. :lol

I'm going to start Full Metal Panic! soon. Anything i should be on the look out for?

Rewatching the Cardfight Vanguard anime.

I stumbled across the first 10 minutes of Sekai de Ichiban Tsuyoku Naritai

and i feel dirty now because of it...

Just keep in mind that The 2nd Raid (the 3rd series) is when things get really good. The first series is okay, a bit too much of the high school setting for my taste, but otherwise good. There's also a series call Fumoffu in between the two. It's 100% comedy with no mecha. It's skippable if you don't care for that stuff (like me).

PS It will leave you wanting more and sadly that's only in novel form at this point. Seriously, I want The 3rd Raid!

Checkout the first episode of Build Fighters. Not bad, but if my gunpla was gonna get wrecked in one of those fights I probably just wouldn't bother :p

Yeah, that would turn me off very quickly. Why put the custom work into it and then risk it so easily. Hmm...maybe that's why Build Strike is 90% Strike Gundam. Easy to replace.

Well, I finished Anohana, and I'm actually not overly impressed. I can definitely see why people like it as much as they do, but I couldn't get into it myself. No tears, nothing. Ah well.

Could be...

I thought that the Build was boring and lazy at first, but it really has grown on me. Next episode is Amazing Zaku, but once that's done I really want to see the crazier designs, especially Fenice.

Valvrave makes Gunpla advertisement look like a masterpiece. :lol
The G-Savior is apparently being re-released btw.

That bothered me too, the Beggining ovas didn't have that, it just feels odd. :P

:lolol

So a friend of mine got me into Tokyo Mew Mew... Long story short I now have a new reason to love wolves. :D

I know a little bit of it from watching Danball Senki W.

What I took from it was…

…if people from Saint Seiya suddenly decided to play soccer and insisted they kept the armours.

I only watched the 4Kids ver.
Is the original any good?

4Kids version?... What is this of which you speak?

Not too sure if it's good but I'm enjoying it. :lol

4Kids released the anime in the USA, and that's the version we got here.

Neato, I really don't remember it much. Glad you are enjoying it.

Yeah, it's a fun little show. Should be able to kill a weekend or so. :D

*Guy whispers in guncannon's ear*

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'SS OVER FIFTY EPISODES LONG!

Have you ever been in a situation where you wanted to watch anime but didn't know what series to check out? Well look no further, because from this day forward I the great guncannon109 shall be providing weekly anime recommendations every Monday! So if you're starved for anime, be sure to check one of the two that I shall be putting forward. :D

To start things of, for the mecha fans out there I recommend my personal favorite anime of all time, Eureka Seven.
http://static1.minitokyo.net/view/36/28/118936.jpg

However, if you're not so much a fan of giant robots and looking for something a little bit more dark and gritty then you can check out Shakugan No Shana. Keep in mind that the dub changes its cast between the first and second seasons so just a heads up
http://cdn.animewallpaperz.com//anim...-no-shana2.jpg

Hope whoever is looking for something to watch finds something in either of these great shows. But if not hey, check back next week. :D

^Eureka Seven I do need to watch, but Shana never grabbed me...

Looking forward to your future recommendations. :D

Define "Dark and gritty," please.

Yeah, I really just needed something to put up with Eureka Seven that was a little more dark but still somewhat similar and Shana was the first thing that came to mind. :lol

Anyway, yeah you really need to watch Eureka Seven. Hope you enjoy it. :D

Stakes are high, not a lot of laughs in the later episodes but plenty early on and the first few episode will most likely creep you the fuck out. :lol

Edit: Oh and if you need any motivation Matrix the lead character Shana is played by Tabitha St. Germain for the first season.

Now, when you saw there are plenty of laughs early on, but not a lot later, how well is that transition? There's a difference between a series getting more serious and a series having a complete tonal shift.
Additionally, creep my out how? Is it due to strange or grotesque imagery, dark story elements, or what?

And don't do that me. You know it's hard for me to say no to that :lol

I'd say that the transition is done well enough.

Creepy imagery as well as a few story elements.

I know, that's why I said it. :lol

Finished episode 1 of build fighters and it was a blast to watch.

Yeah it had that yugioh quality to it but it didn't seem to be taking itself too seriously.

There's a lot of fan service, and it's VERY surreal watching a Gundam getting taken out by grunt suit.

Hey, careful how you use that term. :lol

What is the humor to begin with?
I ask because I despise fanservice humor. As in, stop a series mid-episode and never look back levels of complete hatred, and that is an extremely popular form of humor too many an anime fall back on.

Sounds fun.
On a scale of one to ten, with one being Slenderman, and ten being the thing from Amnesia wearing a pig mask as it gropes the human centipede, how creepy is it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8o5fxnDUjs

There's a little bit of fan service but it's never for the sake of humor.

I'd say about a one... creeped me out. :lol

:lol

If you want something dark. I recommend The Future Diary
http://twinlions.files.wordpress.com...ive-action.jpg

... That too. :lol

Fun Fact:My first experiences with anime were Superbook and Scamper the Penguin.

I ended up watching the first episode of Tokyo Ravens... I don't know why, but whatever.

Everybody blushed, all the time. There was also something about magic, but it was compeltely overshadowed by dem blushes.

So I checked out the first episode of Godannar, as I love super robot shit and was told this was good.

And eh... it roared past in a blur of gratuitous fanservice, leaving my head spinning as I tried to desperately piece together what the hell was going on. Still, minus that problem, and the general lack of originality, I did actually quite enjoy this episode. It was old school, well animated, the mechs were cool and the action was epic.

Blaz Blue: It seems like this is going to be one of these shows that is only enjoyable to the game's fans (ironic, considering that episode 2 preview consisted of Ragna hoping to break away of the jinx of adaptations :lol).

I liked it, as the word of Blaz Blue has always interested me, but it seems they tried to show as many characters as possible in so little time. Explaining as little as possible.
It has potential, it's just overbearing right now.

Exactly what I was about to come in here and say. Except I was going to add that it was just plain awful too :p

You know its a lousy production when they can't even be bothered to make an OP sequence.
