The "What anime are you watching" thread

TheXrosLoaderGen · 07-18-2014, 02:26 AM

Decided to watch finally watch Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods today and I gotta say, it was pretty interesting. I actually liked Goku's God Form/Mode. Even though it isn't good at SSJ4, it still is nice to see Goku get another form addition. Also, I don't know how I forgot how perverted Roshi was. Now, the fight scenes in this movie were pretty smooth and fast-paced, especially the Super Saiyan God Goku vs Lord Bills fight. That scene just melted my heart. Overall, the movie wasn't the best and a little childish, but still I liked it.

Welp I finished my re-watch of Evangelion. It was...meh.

To be honest I'm happy I watched it again now that I'm older and thus able to understand it a bit more. Sure I was confused in some parts but it wasn't an utter mindfuck like it was when I saw it as a kid and it also wasn't as aggravating as when I saw it as a teenager. Being able to understand the show made the viewing not as painful as many people have said they found it to be.

Praise wise I do have some. The animation is quite nice as are the character designs. The music is just angelic (pun intended) and the theme, that theme, so fucking catchy. These are things that I actually would and will praise the show for. But I have cons, and they're fairly major.

The story was just meh and bleh at times. It was just alright to me and that's when I was able to actually see the story. Most of the time I didn't feel like there was a continuing story to the show unless it was a multi part episode. It also got bleh at times, those coming from when it got confusing. By the end of the show Anno throws way too many twists and turns at you and it just makes things chaotic. Also the pre finale episode was just rushed. That whole story should have taken place over multiple episodes to give depth to everything going on instead of just cramming it all in one episode (and this is coming from me watching the director's cut version). Outside of the story the only things I don't praise are the characters. Shinji's the only one who truly gets any development and those that do are just tidbits until the final two episodes. Along with that not all of them were pleasant (Asuka I swear I will murder you).

In the end I liked the show and found it pretty mehy. I do love one thing about it though and that's more of a personal thing. I loved the whole show basically is a psychoanalysis of the human mind and a lot of the time I found myself following the character's thoughts and movements instead of the plot. So that's the one thing I actually really really like about the show, but as I said it's more of a personal thing then anything. Overall, Neon Genesis Evangelion was an okay show. I don't think it's the greatest anime of all time, but it isn't the worst. It's sub par.

So i watched a random episode of Hack on the funimation channel, i have no idea what's going on.

Hack?

Like .hack? Or a different show with the name hack in it? If it was .hack, which one, //SIGN, //Twilight, or //ROOTS? Also, if you have never played the games you will not likely understand what is going on since they are meant to be played with the games.
