I forgot about that. :lol I heard it was good.

and I would hope the animation would be good, it is Kyoto Animation after all.

Also, that's a cane? I thought Kumojacky's thing was always a sword. :lol

Gah double post!

I don't think it got particularly good reviews on MAL which is fair enough because its probably the most generic and clichéd anime of all time in terms of characters, and story. But in a day and age where anime is really starting to look stretched budgetwise, it's so nice to watch a show that looks this damn good.

You know what else looks good (as it was made by the same studio)?

Free! :p

Ok sorry, I'll stop.

but yeah, Kyoto does amazing work. Them and Studio Bones are the top two animation studios in Japan.

Why do you want me to watch your implied gay swimming anime so much? :lol

because you asked for good ones from that season. That was one of the four. :lol and you came up with the idea of a homosexual relationship between Troy and Roboknight. :lol

(and everyone should watch Free!)

Also I like it, it's a pretty nice slice of life show with some cool characters.

We watched the first 11 episodes of Psycho Pass today. :eek:

DVD has, I don't think it got a blu-ray though.

Aw.

Just had a look and the movie does have a blu-ray is that's any consolation?

I can watch the show in SD and then watch the movie in HD! :lol

Kill la Kill 19.

This episode was made up of more incest, some of the worst animation in the show and also some of the dumbest plotting too. When this show is good, it's great, but when it's bad it's REALLY bad. And as it's becoming clearer and clearer this show just plays it completely by ear in an attempt to constantly outdo itself I can't see this ending enjoyably at all.

Saw some more Episodes of Buld Fighters and I´m really surprised how much I enjoy that show. Sengoku Astray is fucking boss and my new favorite Gundam. Also..wow Japan...Nils Nielsen has to be one of the most unimaginative names ever :lol

3 guesses on which anime I'm watching now.

Azumanga Daioh, Digimon Savers or The Boondocks?:p

No! :lol

... Summer needs to hurry the hell up. I need Sailor Moon Crystal.

Sword Art Online Episode 4

Everybody lives Rose... Just this once, EVERYBODY LIVES! :D

You're watching SAO? Good luck...you'll need it.

Eh, it's a little heavy with the death tole but so far I like it... Is there something I should know? :eyebrow

Kirito makes Tsukasa look underpowered. He's basically Daigo from Kyoryuger, but boring.

Meh, he's alright thus far... and I like Tsukasa. :lol

It's weird because that show is everywhere, but I've never heard a single good thing about it.

I'm actually curious about what you like about Tsukasa. Is it the duality? because Kirito doesn't have that.

Also, Kirito gets a Harem later.

Someone I know likes it, because "Kirito dual wields, and that's awesome!"

The most legit reasoning.

Yeah, I didn't expect Kirito to be all that good of a character... but he's not why I'm watching the show anyway. :lol

Also, to not derail the thread I'll send you a PM as to why I like Tsukasa. :)

Why would it derail the thread? It's the way this forum works is to just smash all the discussion into a single thread. I get that this is a "toku" board, but I think we really could do with a video gaming and anime subforum so we could talk about popular stuff separately.

No, please, tell the rest of the class.
Why do you like Tsukasa?

Cool! :)

Right? :I

It IS the Tokunation way.

Okay fine, since you really want to know.

To answer Sideswipe's question, yes the duality of Tsukasa is part of the reason but not all of it.

The reason why I like Tsukasa mainly comes from what he is at the start of the series, a lost soul looking for his place in the world and the fact that he is constantly told that he has no choice but to become something and despite the attempts to avoid that path he is inevitably forced to take it in order to save his own life as well as the people he cares about most, however he is able to work past it and emerge as a hero.

I instantly connected with Tsukasa for this very reason as I myself had been constantly told what I must be and there was nothing I could do about it and the eventual tragedy and redemption of Tsukasa's story leaves this connection all the stronger.

When people claim that Decade "has no story" they are flat out lying because that's not true at all. Decade has a story and it's one worth remembering. It's the story of someone who is forced to become what he is fighting against in order to protect what he loves. So, it is for that very reason that whenever someone bashing the name of Decade, I shall be there to say that I love Decade flaws and all.

and that my friends is why Kamen Rider Decade is my all time favorite Kamen Rider... Remember that.

I already replied to your PM, so...hey there.

*Stands up and starts slowly clapping, gradually getting faster*

Gundam Build Fighters is anime gold. It's something that every fan of Gundam no matter how recent you are should experience.

The action and music are great, all of the characters are likeable, and I really like the way they handle the whole otaku aspect too.

They aren't hand fisting it into you all the time like Akibaranger or Big Bang Theory is and it's a real respectful way of handling the approach because what they do on screen is probably what a lot of us would do in their position.

I could go on and on about why I love this show so much but yeah…go watch it. It's streamed and subbed for free on youtube.As I've said:: if you're a Gundam fan, you owe it to yourself to see it.

I've been meaning to, but I already have so much on my plate in terms of shows. :(

Episodes 97-108 of Fairy Tail are up. You know what I'll be watching.

On another note: I'm sad Kill La Kill is coming to an end. It's been a great ride :cry

Curious.
Because here isn't the place to discuss KR, and I don't feel like fighting someone over their taste in television, I won't say much.

But I will say that I disagree with your assessment on Decade's "Story," as it's contradictory and the character alternates both on a moral and a character level depending on the story of that particular week.

You are completely free to love Decade for any and every reason, however.

Meh, that's just how I interpreted it. :lol

We spent the night watching the remaining 11 episodes to Psycho Pass and this show was just down right awesome. Every time you expected the show to do something or go somewhere, it did the exact opposite. It is nice to see something like that again, especially one that puts a spin on old concepts. The show is like Ghost in the Shell meets CSI, so I definitely recommend it and I cannot wait for the second season. Overall, I give the show an 8/10.

You, my friend, have survived a work from the Urobutcher himself *nods*

But will any of us survive Gaim? DUN DUN DUUUN!!!
