Well then, it is over. My journey through the Key/Kyoto Ani holy trinity which I started over half a year ago has finally come to an end. Through the hot summer of air, the harsh winter of Kanon, and finally the renewing spring of Clannad and the unrelenting rollar coaster of After Story. It's been fun, I laughed, I cried... and now I must sadly say goodbye.

It's been a long time coming, and now that the day has finally come that I can look back at it, I find myself sitting here wondering where to go next. Now, on a day like today, I can honestly say that these three great shows have definitely earned their reputation among the anime fandom which I love so much. And now... I must face an even bigger challenge... the biggest void of my life... :(

It's always sad to see a show go, but as long as you remember those times, there's no such thing as a void.

It is sad to see a show go, even sadder to see a great one go. Seriously, I cannot praise Clannad enough. I was thinking about which two shows I was going to put up for my recommendations this week but you know what, fuck it, I'm putting up all three! To those of you who haven't seen Air, Kanon, Clannad and Clannad After Story GO WATCH THEM RIGHT NOW IN THAT ORDER!

Haven't watched any of them...

Finished Aria the Scarlet Ammo a few days ago and I am currently watching Bodacious Space Pirates.

Do it, go watch 'em, all of them... RIGHT NOW!

But, but, but...

GAHHH!!!! *Runs Away*

In all seriousness I have always wanted to check them out, but I keep postponing it for whatever reason...

Are you in middle of anything at the moment?

4 toku shows, and all the currently airing stuff...

*Edit: Or you meant right now? Maybe, sort of.

Oh... I see. Well, be sure to check them out when you get the chance. Trust me they're worth every second. :D

Edit: Eh, I meant more in general.

Watching more Fairy Tail. Erza is just awesome! Her being a redhead has nothing to do with it, she is just really great and Grey is even better when I found out his backstory!

I trust your judgement, I was planning to watch some anime after all that toku, so they seem like a solid choice.

That order in specific?

Ah, okay. :D

I don't quite understand your question. :eyebrow

"To those of you who haven't seen Air, Kanon, Clannad and Clannad After Story GO WATCH THEM RIGHT NOW IN THAT ORDER! "

Is there any plot connection or the order is simply for the production date?


Btw, if you are looking for another anime to follow Clannad and co I'm a big fan of Bakemonogatari and it's sequels, pretty much my favorite anime.
Give it a try if you haven't already.

There's not so much a plot connection but there is a spiritual sense of progression if you watch them in that order. Partially because, yes, that is the order they were produced in and it's also the order of over all run time with Air being the shortest and Clannad being the longest.

I'll give it a look. Though it might be awhile since a) I need to give Clannad time to sink in a bit more and b) I still have to finish... Future Diary... *shivers*

Gotcha

Don't rush either, allow Clannad to sink in before returning to the crazy world of Diary Holders.

I'll watch We Without Wings after this show is over with.

Sweet. :D

Good idea. :lol Think I'll give it a couple days or so.

I thought the Fairy Tail anime was garbage. Just like the Reborn! and Eyeshield adaptations, it took a gorgeously drawn manga and replaced that with cheap animation and a heavy amount of censorship (Japan censors?! I know right!).

Hajime No Ippo 4.

Ippo's training begins! Meh, I prefer a good training montage, rather than a whole meandering episode that couldn't shut up about how amazing Ippo is, while admitting his only strength is Power and that he hasn't even fought a proper match yet.

I tell you what though, this show has a rocking soundtrack.

Just finished Bodacious Space Pirates and now starting We Without Wings.

Ippo 5.

That shower scene man.

Anyway, this was a much better training episode, the rivalry between Miyata and Ippo is really well established here, and it makes you appreciate Miyata so much more as a character who for the first four weeks was just sort of a brooding bad boy with a bad haircut.

Can't wait until their rematch next episode!

Ippo 6.

Hell yeah, round two! And what an amazing second fight, it's so cool to see just how much Ippo has grown, I guess the slow pace of this show really did pay off in the end. Making every frame count, for the biggest investment with the audience.

About the only thing I dislike about the visuals of this show is how everyone has the same face, the girl Ippo is crushing on just looked like a cross dressing Ippo and Ippo isn't a looker to start with.

Sports Anime/Manga aren't my cup of tea :I

Me either, usually. But Ippo was one of my all time favourites when I first got into anime, which is why I'm trying it again now. And Eyeshield 21 is one of my all time favourite mangas.

Ippo 7.

Round two continues!

I must say, Miyata is fucking awesome. He chose a weaker style of boxing, to honour his Dad, and has trained it into a razor sharp deadly force. I don't really remember much about this show, honestly, but I hope they can keep doing stuff throughout this show like this. I mean it's just two guys punching each other, but they've given Miyata so much technique and tactics it's just amazing to watch.

It's just a shame that Ippo's victory was achieved in such an underwhelming way, especially as the show almost forced us to root Miyata, despite Ippo being the underdog.

ok after nearly a month i shall say i am now uptoday with one piece one of the or is the longest running anime to date so fare and i cought up with in the month and i also continued where the current episode i was on with the manga and i am now following that and i forgot why this was one of my fave anime as a kid due to i watched the german dub way before the 4kid dub came out so i instantly knew sanji was meant to be smoking a ciggerate and not sucking on a lolipop

I've become obsessed with Golden Time and only three episodes are out. Really strong Toradora vibes from this show, which makes sense considering it's the same writer and studio. I hope this show continues to exceed my expectations.

Rewatching Star Driver.

just downloaded the first 3 episodes of gundam build fighter

sorry for a double post. but Gundam build Fighters is a serise i did not think i will like and well it has alot of refferances to older gundam serise and it good it still feels like a gundam show

1. When did season two of Lagrange get dubbed?

2. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?!!!

Lagrange the Flower of Rin-ne Season 2 Episode 1:

... Well that's one way to get me out of the Clannad void. :lol

Tokyo Ravens finally features Tokyo... still waiting for any kind of Ravens though.

I bet you the "Ravens" part is symbolic.

Most likely. :lol

Why can't anime titles be honest about what the show is about?

Take Boku no Picu for instance, there ain't no boku in this picu.

It means my Pico. As in Pico belongs to the viewer (probably)

*One google search later*

Oh god why!? :confused:
