Turaga (9/293)

  1. Hot sauce Christmas cake, this is incredible! Absolutely love the detail! Especially the rusting patterns and sockets to attach the island/mask and Ignika ejection.
  2. Oof, don't get me started on manga. There's a link to my list in my signature. The ones I follow weekly or monthly are Fairy Tail, Attack on Titan, Arpeggio of Blue Steel, Assassination Classroom, Real Account (i would KILL for an anime of this!), and Tsujiura-san to Chupacabra. There's a few I'm following whose scanlations are behind and get posted sporadically but regularly: 4 Cut Hero (oh my lord this one is amazing), Dagashi Kashi (anime coming soon, hype hype​), I Don't Want to Say I'm a Chicken, and Mizutama Honey Boy. Several I'm just waiting for scanlations to resume... there's one volume each left of Full Dozer, Chicha Koi Nikki, and Ichiro Heian. Nothing I can do about those I guess. My manga-tracking site includes light novels so I'll mention those. I'm following five translations- Amagi Brilliant Park, Saekano, Re:Zero, Fire Girl, and Chaika: The Coffin Princess- over at NanoDesu as they update. Several others, including Rokka no Yuusha, Sekai Game, and Sky World are at the top of my to-read list. I'm working through my print copy of Black Bullet vol. 1, and a bunch of others are on my shelf. Sword Art Online vol. 5, Devil is a Part-Timer vol. 2, Attack on Titan: Kuklo Unbound, and AoT: Harsh Mistress of the City vol. 1. I need to pick up the pace.
  3. I absolutely ADORED Jitsu wa Watashi wa. Shiragami is queen. Agreed, the VA in this series was great. I'm still surprised at how much I like Aizawa, and I think it's from her performance. Looks like the fall season's started. First off, I tried to start with Concrete Revolutio, Kagewani, and Onsen Yousei Hakone-Chan but gave up partway through each for lack of sense, horrible animation, and lack of substance respectively. So that's three less to follow. Probably a good thing. Premise and worldbuilding-wise, Heavy Object had a good start, even if its intro was exposition-heavy. If for the rest of the series it can avoid the kind of "sexual harassment" jokes like it used this one time, it has the potential to be really great. The Asterisk War was pretty cool. Looks like it'll have all the good things about Infinite Stratos, hopefully without the bad. Nice battle animation too. Here's hoping it can mostly avoid harem tropes. Attack on Titan: Junior High. Well. I mean. It made me laugh. So there's that. Already talked about One-Punch Man when I saw the pre-air episode the other day. I decided to try to foray into Gundam with the new series, Iron Blooded Orphans, since I was told it's a new timeline and thus a jumping-on point. Unlike the weirdness of Recon in G, this one had a solid pilot and cool, realistic setting. I have high hopes for this! What else... Comet Lucifer and Lance 'N Masques both had interesting starts, hopefully they can each go someplace. Not much else to say on them for now. I also finally rewatched Gargantia, first time since the simulcast. The dub is pretty dang good. And the show is better than I remembered! I also had a friend with me who hadn't seen it before, it was fun seeing his reaction to all the Urobuchi-trademark twists. I also splurged and ordered the Attack on Titan complete collection on Blu-ray. Crunchyroll was running a great sale. I regret nothing!
  4. I really liked Castle Town Dandelion... It really improved itself as it went on. With such a large cast I'm surprised it got me to care about all of them. ...And Gargantia is nothing sort of my favorite anime... Charlotte ended on a cool episode and a nice final scene, but all in all it had serious pacing and cohesion issues. It was full of so many great ideas but never put its utmost into most of them. Especially in the second half. It did have lots of great scenes though (the desert scene from the final episode was great) and a likeable cast. School-Live... oh MAN, School-Live. I could not have asked for a better finale. Did a fantastic job of capitalizing on the characters' development and hit the thematic nails on the head. I have GOT to read the manga soon. Finally watched that pre-air One Punch Man episode. Cannot wait for the whole series.
  5. Alright, I guess I'll do EoE once I watch the series. For next season... hoo man, why do i always watch so many. Gate (continued from summer. This series is fantastic) Attack on Titan: Junior High (*sigh*, fine) Comet Lucifer Concrete Revoltio: Choujin Gensou The Asterisk War Heavy Object Kagewani Lance 'N Masques One Punch Man Onsen Yousei Hakone-Chan (i don't know why but I get a Celestial Method vibe from this) A Corpse is Buried Under Sakurako's Feet Antimagic Academy: The 35th Test Platoon Tantei Team KZ Utawarerumono Eh, assuming I drop a few (inevitably) at least this will be fewer than I followed during the summer.
  6. Thanks! Though I think I'll pass on EoE given your description... I typically don't have the constitution for stuff like that ^^' And the Rebuild films (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0) are a reboot, right? I'll check those out if I enjoy the original series. This will all be after I get started in Gundam, of course!
  7. I really ought to watch Evangelion one of these days. If I can ever figure out the proper viewing order, that is.
  8. I haven't seen the movies, but i watched the TV adaptation from a couple years back. Agreed, the mecha battles are amazingly animated. I thought the plot was a bit lacking though. I heard that the story was changed for the TV series, so I can't judge the films.
  9. Can't say I know anything about it, other than there's a season of it currently airing.
  10. Just upgraded from Windows 8 to 10, i need to try this game again. It didn't get along with my computer before.
  11. @Nik the Three, glad to hear you're getting into the anime world and enjoying it! And look forward to SAO, it's fantastic. There's two series, Sword Art Online and Sword Art Online II, which together cover the first eight volumes of the light novel series. There's also the SAO: Progressive novel side series, which covers side stories that chronologically take place early in the story and covers events not seen in the anime.
  12. Yeah, I've heard... things... about Shimoneta... frankly I'm a bit too scared to try it. Terminus, thanks for the advice. I think I'll start with Zero, then UBW, then FSN. After that maybe I'll check out a few of the side/spinoff series.
  13. It's been nearly 2 weeks since anyone's posted, figured I'd stir the pot with a question for anyone who's watched the Fate/ series. I've seen that there's several different series of the anime, followign the different routes of the visual novel, and other spinoff/side/prequel/sequel manga and light novels as well. From what I've best gathered, it seems that the "proper" order is to watch both seasons of Fate/Zero, then Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works (the most recent 2-season TV series), with the original TV anime being an alternate story disconnected from Zero. Is this correct? Where exactly do the other works best fit in? Is it true the UBW movie should be avoided at all costs? And am I correct in assuming the Fate/kaleid series is an unrelated spinoff?
  14. @Farmstink: I'm intrigued. I'll give it a look!
  15. What's the __monogatari series all about? I've heard good things but know nothing except it has a confusingly large number of different titles/subseries/spinoffs.
