Anime General Thread (Official)

[25K Now!]

I too watched it for the manly drills penetrating the bodies of their enemies.Ahem.That's why I read One Piece. My reading skills are faster than my watching skills.

[Hodor]

You know what? I haven't watched any anime lately.So, how about this: You guys recommend me an anime series. Preferable one that's available on Hulu or some other legal streaming site.

GAI-GAI-DAIKU MARYU GAIKING.Watch it. Watch it for Proist and general awesome.And proceed to rage at the lack of DVDs.

So, what Spring Season shows are you guys watching? I narrowed my list down to Accel World and Medaka Box, but I'm curious to see what other people are watching...

Eh, really the only thing I'll probably watch is Zetman, and Eureka Seven AO if I finally see the original.Stiiiiiiiiiiill watching Dunbine, with the others on pause for now. SRWZ2 Saisei-Hen has taken most of my time this week though.

[Blue Dragon]

My spring anime list is going to be as follows: -Sankarea-Tasogare Otome X Amnesia-Fate/Zero-Hyouka-Kore wa Zombie desu ka? Of the Dead.-Natsuiro Kiseki-Accel WorldI'm not really sure about the last three on my list, but I'm going to watch the entire season of all the others.

[25K Now!]

I'm watching Fate/Zero just to see the anime versions of the scenes I read.

[Keizah the Kaleidoscope]

Wow, the spring anime lineup is looking pretty terrible, frankly. If not for Zetman, Accel World, and the second season of Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle, this summer would be a complete bomb for me. Get out of filler soon, Fairy Tail!!!

So I found out about this series called Acrobunch.It's pretty much Indiana Jones with a giant robot. There are no subs for it and I can't find the RAWs to watch because Megaupload = dead.

[25K Now!]

Let me guess, you were playing Compact 3 and learnt about it.

[Hodor]

Let me guess, you were playing Compact 3 and learnt about it.

Partially true. Haven't played terribly much of Compact 3 (only played the first stage), but did stumble across a summary when I was looking up a list of what Spirit Commands are in that game. Probably will finish it after I finish F/F Final.

[25K Now!]

I see.Well, seeing that I've finished OG1 and OG2, I'll go play Endless Frontier then.And watch the J9 series. Because everyone loves a team of people who drive a car that absorbs energy from alternate universes to become a giant robot.

[Hodor]

And watch the J9 series. Because everyone loves a team of people who drive a car that absorbs energy from alternate universes to become a giant robot.

The guy subbing Braiger is just plain not human, man. Wish L-Gaim and Layzner had him working on them.

G Gundam is best Gundam.

An addition for my earlier question: Recommend me some animes with great dubs. I don't watch subtitled stuff due to me being an ignorant philistine.

[Kothra]

Only good dubs I've seen are Code Geass and Gudam 00.

[Yoichi]

An addition for my earlier question: Recommend me some animes with great dubs. I don't watch subtitled stuff due to me being an ignorant philistine.

Uh, Death Note has a good dub. Besides that, almost everything is better in the subbed version :/

[Kothra]

Oh, Lucky Star's dub is also pretty decent, but the show isn't really that great unless it's with the Japanese audio.

FLCL. Your argument is invalid.Nah, I'm just kidding. You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, even if disagree with it. Edited April 14, 2012 by BenLuke-116

[Terminus]

Only time I ever watch subs is if it isn't readily available dubbed, so there are a ton of shows I've loved that I've yet to see subbed.Generally, I like dubs unless they are done by Viz- I hated both the Bleach and Naruto dubs, best they ever did was Death Note.

FLCL. Your argument is invalid.Nah, I'm just kidding. You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, even if disagree with it.

Gurren Lagann has a good dub too.

[WriterofReapers]

Instead of listing shows that have good dubs one at a time, how about we simply say that there are many good dubs out there, but since "good" is a subjective term it all boils down to personal preference?Personally, I prefer dubs. It's easier to multitask when I don't have to constantly glance at the screen in order to read the subtitles.

Yeah, I almost always watch subs instead of the dubs, so I'm an a teensy bit biased.

[BenLuke]

Gurren Lagann has a good dub too.

Yes, yes it did.How about show I haven't already watched? Edited April 15, 2012 by BenLuke-116

[HAZMAT]

give Big O a try

[BenLuke]

I've looked at some pictures of that and the art reminds me of those old DC cartoons.That's a good thing.

[25K Now!]

Big O was awesome. I wonder if it's in Super Robot Wars.*Goes off to check*Yes it is.

[Terminus]

Just started reading the School Rumble Manga, as the anime was one of the greatest things to happen to comedy, in my opinion. Now I see that they changed the anime quite a bit from the manga (most likely to make it more family-friendly), although I still greatly enjoy both (unlike most series with very easily noticeable differences between the anime and manga)

[MrSciFiGuy]

Just finished Guilty Crown and am waiting for Mirai Nikki (Future Dairy) to finish up this week

[Terminus]

Just saw the final episode of Bleach, it was pretty good. I hope that the final arc gets animated eventually, though.That said, I'm planning on watching Black Butler II, Black Rock Shooter, and A Certain Magical Index soon.Also, the Bakuman manga will be ending next week in Japan, which means there are about three chapters left in Shonen Jump Alpha, was kinda hoping it would go on a bit more, but it's at a great place to end. At least I'll have about 10 volumes to read, since I've only read the GN format and SJA releases of Bakuman. I do hope that their next work is just as fantastic.And I started Index, really like it, I'm four episodes in.

Finally started reading Shin Getter Robo while I wait for the next few chapters of Getter Robo Ark and Anthologies to be scanlated and I start reading those too.AW MAN. GETTER JUST CAN'T BE NOT-AWESOME CAN IT?

[Kothra]

*listens to Kamichu! soundtrack*ah, why couldn't i have rememered how awesome this show was earlier? I do hope Funination somehow comes up with a rerelease of it since the Geneon release has been discontinued. I'll probably end up getting it through ebay or something anyway...

[Terminus]

Just finished the first season of Index, I'm probably going to watch the second season tomorrow.Now I really, really, REALLY want Funimation to step up their game with their releases. That and add more streaming episodes.

Getter is so awesome that they created the Getter Emperor in an attempt to top all that awesome.

[Terminus]

Finished the second season of Index, hope that it'll have a third season. It left off at an interesting part, and I'm not sure how far the Manga is compared to the Anime, and the Light Novels are only in Japanese...Anyways, not sure what I'll watch next. Probably Steins;Gate.

[Kothra]

They're making an Index film at the moment (with an original plot). I'm sure they're just killing time for the novels to continue so they have enough material for a third season.

[25K Now!]

They have translated the light novels on a certain website. Fan Translations.Don't know if I can mention the site though. Probably can't.

[Terminus]

I'd think that there would be enough material, since the original novel series has already finished at 22 volumes. I know the first anime season covers about the first six volumes, the second season ends around volume 13 and covers the first SS volume, and I'd doubt that 9 volumes could be covered in one season. But, two seasons could cover both the rest of the first Novel series and some of New Testament, so they could be waiting for that...

Edited April 22, 2012 by Terminus

[Kothra]

I had figured that the anime covered the entire first light novel series. Derp derp.

[Terminus]

Started Steins;Gate, actually been meaning to start it for a couple months. Pretty interesting, especially with the whole microwave/time-machine thingy. It starts out kinda like a standard sci-fi show, a bunch of college kids making gadgets and stuff in a lab, and then they end up making a cool thing that turns out to be a time machine. It picks up after a few episodes, and the dead center (end of episode 12, beginning of 13) of the series has a huge twist, which is a driving force in the series for around ten episodes... Have four episodes left, it's pretty good so far.
