What was the last anime series you completed watching??

[Takatofan1986]

Last series i finished was InuYasha... If you wanna call that "Finished"...

Before that was "The Law Of Ueki"

[crow-kun]

Tenge.......TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN!!!!!!

Nanoha A's- one of the best magical girl shows ever created. Better fights then the last 100 episodes of bleach and naruto combined

QFT, ep 1 alone is more intense than anything from naruto's last five thousand episodes. CARTRIDGE LOAD!!!

Oh as for thread

Kanon 2006, get's an Excellent.

[gameoffreak8]

I just finished Lovely Complex today. Not much about this series. It's alright.

Agreed. :thumbsup:

Mononoke -- one of the (if not the) best series of the year to date.

I just finished Lovely Complex today. Not much about this series. It's alright.
Really? :huh:

I just finished Lovely Complex, and I would say it was my favorite series of the Spring season, and one of the best romantic comedies I have seen in quite a while. The main storyline does drag just a bit in the middle, and the last few episodes seem just a little rushed but the characters and the comedy are just so good you almost don't notice. I highly recommed it to any fan of romantic comedy anime.

Oh, yeah. Not saying he is wrong for not liking it (different tastes and all). I just wanted to toss out a different opinion on the series since I enjoyed it so much. :naughty:

[KT Kore]

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Finally finished this one after a couple hiatuses here and there. The word I'd use to describe this show is "fun." Great fun, actually. Nothing too engaging story-wise, but the insane resolve of the characters and just the grand scale of every single thing that happens is this series really make up for the pretty average story. The second half of the show is of vast contrast to the first half, and is the half that I liked the most. Things got much bigger and crazier in this half as well. And while I say that the "epicness" was lots of fun, it also began to wear on you the longer the show went. That's one of the main flaws I see with the series. Also, due to how epic everything was, it rendered much of what happened toward the end of the series totally incoherent. So you just had to go with the flow and not pay too much attention to the details. That much really wasn't too bad of a problem, per se, but it did get in the way sometimes. But anyone watching the series would know that that was the way it was "supposed" to be, so it's easy to get over. There's also the issue of the huge cast, most of whom we get to spend no good amount of time with. So whatever happens to them, it's hard to care about.

The last episode was pure insanity. I mean, they were using galaxies as weapons. Enough said about that.

Overall this was a pretty good show that I enjoyed my time watching.

It may be good, but I feel that storyline was little rushed as well. I really can't stand Risa for some reason. It have lots of funny moment, at least. I guess I have to re-watch it again, huh? My favorite genre are romance and romance comedy, so I should enjoy it. Unfortunately, I found out that series was alright. It's not best romantic comedies to me. As you said, we have different taste after all. ;)

[Gabs]

Fate/Stay Night- Great show. Happy I was able to get all the DVD's.

Rurouni Kenshin Trust and Betrayal OVA- After so many years of being lazy and not buying the last volume I finally finished it. A very emotional ending.

[DazarGaidin]

I also finished Fate/Stay Night. It was a great series with a lot of character development.. I was happy they both realized and admitted their feelings for each other, i just wish they coulda stayed together in the end :(

[HatsumiShinogu]

Ultra Maniac.

[Thousand Eyes]

Witchblade. I enjoyed the animation and the subtle storyline for the most part, but the ending didn't satisfy me along with a couple of other things. It was alright overall as a standalone series with the Witchblade title, but I expected more. Back to the comics for me.

[TheZorch]

I recently finished watching Boys Bravo, Sakura Wars TV, and Azumanga Daioh. I loved them all!

I especially liked Boys Bravo because I like ecchi anime from time to time and this series is definitely ecchi and heavy on the fan service. :D

I can't say I've ever heard of Boys Bravo, but... seeing as you are male and you like an anime that's heavy on fanservice and seems to be about boys, hmmm... :P

I'm just joking with you. The name of the show is actually Girls Bravo, which I can honestly say is something I don't think I'll ever watch.

[Hajime Saitou]

^You need to stop beating me to the punch. :lol:

I was actually looking it up at ANN to see if there was actually something called Boys Bravo. But yeah...avoid it.

DOH! That's what I get for posting to forums at almost 1:30 am. I can't believe I got that title name mixed up. Bad Zorch! Bad!

Yeah, only guys or certain girls will get a kick out of that anime. Some of it is really over the top but the story is actually pretty good.

[VSh]

Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann - post-post-post-apocalypse, GAINAX version. Insane show, it's worth watching once, but allegories had more meanings in FLCL, parodies were more hilarious in Abenobashi, art was better in GunBuster-2, music was simply bad (especially noise in ED), the plot was too silly to my taste.

A post apocalypse anime? I'll have to look that one up.

An anime based around the world of Rifts would very interesting, I could easily see the Japanese doing something interesting with a world like that one.

[DazarGaidin]

I finished Kaze no Stigma, it was surprisingly good, it definitely wasnt what i expected, way more lighthearted than i thought and kinda reminded me of Full Metal Panic, well maybe a FMP lite or something. Pretty funny at times. The male lead is a bit of an arrogant prick though.

[LOSTyears]

Maison Ikkoku- Its hard reviewing titles like these, you'd need a book worth of writing to describe it. For starters its one of the more mature romance comedies(genre I'm not particular too) I've seen, in fact I haven't seen many like it(Touch is the only one that comes to mind). A cast thats almost too perfectly assembled and just seemd to click fluidly, Yotsuya's gotta be one of my favorite side characters of any anime. No character is really left out of developing or simply tossed aside, they all have issues & lives and are not just their to be a pain in the *** to poor Godai. At moments when it feels like its dragging into monotony it quickly adds new misunderstandings or love interest that propels it into a new and often interesting direction. My gripes would have to be the length but in turn its also the series greatest strength. Because its so long everything fleshes out and matures slowly as if it were in real time, it made the love connection feel more real. Although the movie was a nice touch I really didn't care for the animation all that much. As a whole this is definitley the best of the best of its time and genre(though I am a slightly bigger fan of Touch), recommend it to everyone both fans and non fans of the genre. But be prepared for a long journey.

[ArcaJ]

Good news!

I finally finished my marathon viewing of Cardcaptor Sakura. (And my girlfriend hasn't left me yet :P )

I must admit that this series truly captured my heart. After seeing parts of the dubbed and severely edited version (whose putrid name I shall not utter in this place) I wasn't too excited to watch any more. However, a friend of mine showed me the first uncut episode and I was hooked.

When the artwork of CLAMP, the animation of Madhouse and a truly talented A-list voice cast come together, miracles happen. This is a must-see series for the serious anime fan. In other words, I loved it and will watch it again.

::HUGS::

[TheZorch]

I'll have to go back and see the uncut version then.

[Vaikyuko]

I finished Nagasarete Airantou today. I was mildly annoyed with the lack of closure in the ending, but at the same time I don't mind.

[gameoffreak8]

I finished Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito yesterday (11:50AM). The ending was alright, I guess. The storyline was so confusing, but I finally understand it now. Yay for Hazuki and Hatsumi kiss each other.

Here is the post I typed: My opinion about Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito (http://www.animenation.net/forums/showpost.php?p=6235820&postcount=19)

I finished watching Claymore last week, I hear it didn't follow the manga, and it doesn't look like there will be a second season, that makes me sad... on the other hand, before that, I guess the second last thing I finished watching was NANA, which is now one of my favourite series and I'm looking forward to whenever it is that they'll announce a second season.

I haven't seen the end of Bokura ga Ita... I've actually only seen about 5 episodes, hopefully I'll watch it all eventually. :)

WOW! There's a lot of anime being named here that I've never even heard of before. I should start compiling a list! The one anime I enjoyed watching the most had to have been Ghost in the Shell: SAC. The writing for that series was exceptional.

[Rican X7]

finished Full Metal Panic last night. started FMP fumoffu 2day.

[TheZorch]

Aren't there three FMP series. I'd like to know the differences between them. I've seen only 1/2 of the first series so far.

[Rican X7]

yea there are 3 series. theres FMP, Fumoffu, and FMP the second strike. i dont think Fumoffu is part of the "main story" but is more for comedy. I think the second strike picks up with the action and main story line.... some one correct me if im wrong.

[Rican X7]

haha my bad its FMP the second raid, i had something else on my mind.

[Demon_Eva01]

Lucky Star, Vandread, Busou Renkin

[BearShare]

Finished FMP Fumoffu.
Will there ever be more than 3 seasons. I'm procastinating TSR cause I don't want it to end.

[DazarGaidin]

The next season is rumored to be coming out soon.

[coeli]

I liked the Fumoffu the best among all FMP series. I want my own Fumoffu lol ^^

[Shawaazu]

Rurouni Kenshin (Second time)

I had watched both the first and third arcs twice, and I finished the second one today. Still great the second time. :D Now I want to watch Tsuiokuhen again.

[Shawaazu]

FAKE (OAV)

It had a lot of funny moments, but the other parts weren't really good.

[DazarGaidin]

El Cazador de la bruja - One of my top anime this year, it was a terrific ending to a very entertaining series. Nadie is probably one of the best female characters i have come across, she is cheeky, smart and tough, but kind as well. A good story about true friendship, among other things. Decent action, good humor. Highly recommended.

It also has the taco taco tacos song. nuff said

[Levon]

I also finished El Cazador de la bruja today, I thought it was okay. The scenes where Ellis sounds & looks like shes having an orgasm are best.

[ArcaJ]

Just finished Lucky Star! I can't believe how much I missed slice-of-life anime until now.

This one is now part of my permanent collection. (please license it soon!)

::HUGS::

[svrellia]

The last NEW one I finished was Ergo Proxy, but I finished rewatching Noir today.

I just finished Haibane Renmei today and I loved it. 5 Stars

[DazarGaidin]

Heh i think i am gonna revisit azumanga...the pics that have been coming up make me long for it.

On topic, I also finished Scrapped Princess, it was decent. Serei no Moribito finale was great, tho i wish balsa would at least acknowlege tanda's feelings. I get the feeling that she is gonna meet some jiguro-esque badass in her country and get all squirmy for him when he shows her his skills and poor loyal tanda gonna get burned. lol

[littlesparrow51]

Rewatched Last Exile. I've yet to see an anime of this caliber (meeting my expectations lol). Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen any other animes where I've actually liked the ending as much as Last Exile.

Come on though, have you ever seen an anime where they've combined airships, big guns, fighter flying machine thingies, mech creatures, war/infantry, love stories, legacies, national strife, world ending, mysticism, and a cool grandstream like funnel??

[Levon]

^ For real? Most hate the ending of Last Exile. I don't mind the ending but it could've been better.
I really don't see how its such a high caliber show unless your talking about the animation/art & music. The writing is pretty flawed. I just love it because I think its a great action show.

[Atigerc]

I agree, I loved the art work and the soundtrack in Last Exile, but the story seemed to be lacking along with most of the characters (outside of Dio and Luciola). Still one of my favorite series overall.:P

[Lolita666]

inuyasha... but never finished it.. so.. many.. episodes!!!!!!!!!!

[KabukiSaMuRaI]

The most memorable one that I recently finished was Shootfighter Tekken (High School Exciting Stories: Tough). Kind of short but if you are into fighting and action...

[holmes221]

hmm the last was detective academy Q (http://www.haru.tv/videos/341/Detective-Academy-Q)

[KatayokuのTenshi]

^^ & ^^^ What was the last anime series you completed watching? ;)

The last series I finished was Cardcaptor Sakura. Once I hit ep 60 I really didn't want to stop. My eyes started watering in ep 69 when Kerberos and Yue had themselves absorbed so that Sakura could transform Light and Dark. I continued like that until the scene in the airport and when "Platinum" started playing I really was crying. :'( And the last moment when Sakura said:
I'll see you again, right...?

I wonder why they attached the sonf "Fruits Candy" on the end, it would have been more effective if it just finished after the final line.

It was still a little inconclusive though... perhaps the movie will clear that up. And I wonder what Tomoyo will do now...

[mdauben]

It was still a little inconclusive though... perhaps the movie will clear that up.
Defintely. The second movie (The Sealed Card) is an integral part of the TV series storyline and nicely wraps everything up. :naughty:

[VSh]

Black Lagoon - action in American style (extreme bloody violation, bad language, cool boys and girls, all that stuff). Black-skinned Dutch boss, blond Jew hacker, redhead Chinese gun-girl, military Russian mafia, sentimental Yakudza... Adventures of those losers were entertaining. Interesting, they didn't translate some Russian phrases. Was it supposed that watchers understand it? Pronunciation was better on Japanese track and they didn't use any bad language here, it isn't typical for military. Art was very good, plot had nothing impressive, music was so-so (there was a couple good compositions), psychological justifications were bad.

Shakugan no Shana (movie) - retelling. The series was better, though there was some new material.

[littlesparrow51]

^ For real? Most hate the ending of Last Exile. I don't mind the ending but it could've been better.
I really don't see how its such a high caliber show unless your talking about the animation/art & music. The writing is pretty flawed. I just love it because I think its a great action show.
Animation was great. And I guess it's all preference really. I had no problem with the ending.

[mdauben]

I just finished watching the series Happiness! last night. This series stalled quite a while ago, when the only group subbing it disappeared and I had pretty much given up on it ever being finished. In the last week, though, another group picked it up and released the last half-dozen episodes over the course of a few day. Quite supprising!

In the end, this wasn't a particularly exceptional series. The artwork and animation were at best average, and the story and characters were a bit shallow. Probably the best part of the whole series was the character of Jun (anyone who has seen the first couple episodes will understand why).

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a144/impz/happiness3-3.jpg

Jun was only a supporting character, but was probably the most interesting and likeable of them all. :naughty:

So, not a terrible series, but hardly one that's going to make anyone's "must see" list. :P

[J Dude]

In the end, this wasn't a particularly exceptional series. The artwork and animation were at best average, and the story and characters were a bit shallow.

And somehow I already knew that without even watching that show, which I never will.

[Levon]

Karas volume 2. Waited like over 2 years for this I think.

OMG!!!!!!!!! That was about the coolest thing I have ever seen! I wish there was more!

PS- I don't get why at ANN it says 6 parts but its like two movie releases. Did they just edit the 6 parts into two movies? If they did I diddn't notice it.

[littlesparrow51]

And somehow I already knew that without even watching that show, which I never will.

Again, preference.

[J Dude]

inuyasha... but never finished it.. so.. many.. episodes!!!!!!!!!!

Then you never really completed watching it if you never finished it.

Again, preference.

[Mizumi]

Bokurano
Loved this series it was great they did a awesome job in getting the feelings of the kids and families across to the viewer.
However i was disappointed with the way it ended it seemed kinda empty really and ive heard it was changed from the way the manga ended so i might have to check it out to see how its proper ending should be.

[Imasyon]

L/R (was cool, though the ending was....TT____________TT)
betterman (not really special, but it had some cool ideas)
ghost hunt (cool *_* I loved this series XD)
Zombie Loan (it's a bit short and it cries for more, but I liked it very much) ^_^

[Sushikins]

Potemayo
I started watching this on a whim a while ago while looking for something light hearted, and I found it. At 12 episodes, this show is short but sweat, offering good characters and hilarious moments. Whole it doesn't come out and explain everything (like Potemayo and Guchuko), after the final episode, you can get an idea of exactly what they are (how they came about, well, who knows.) Episode 12 lays on some drama that seems unexpected, but really not too surprising given events leading up to it. I liked the ending though...
Guchuko's child was adorable, however, Potemayo's looked like it was smoking something...good luck to her and Sunao raising that thing.

While a 2nd season isn't necessary, I wouldn't mind another 12 episodes of this stuff. I'll give the show a Very Good.

[mdauben]

I just finished watching Lamune tonight. A nice, quiet little romantic comedy with a bit of drama at the end. Nanami (the female lead) is a bit simple minded but likable in spite of that. I'd definetly recomend it for someone who enjoys the genre.

[Sushikins]

Detonator Orgun
I picked this up a few months ago, it was cheap, and since I was playing SRW W at the time, I was interested in the story, but never got around to it till now. Anyway, I found it to be a good show in general, nothing special, but I enjoyed the cast, story and action of this short show. The music was also pretty good, especially the credit music and Orgun's theme song. I'd say it was worth the 10 bucks I spent to pick it up.

On a side note unrelated to the show, if you select Special Features on the DVD Menu, good luck trying to get anything else to work effectively aside from playing the movie, as all other menu choices lead back to that menu after you've checked it once.

[Shawaazu]

Utawarerumono

Not one of my favorites, but I liked it. However, I thought it went downhill after about half way through. I think I still need to watch the first two Omake episodes. I only watched the ones on volumes five and six.

[xnightninjax]

Samurai Champloo

[valalight]

The last anime I watched the entire series of? That would have to be Earth maiden Arjuna.
It was VERY good and I would recommend it to everyone.

[DarkSeraph]

Finished off Claymore and .hack//SIGN the other day :)

[Westlo]

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - I liked a lot of anime from 2006, as a whole it was a massive improvment voer 2005 imo and had a lot of great series in different genres. The crown jewel of the 2006 class though has to be the Madhouse produced future classic, "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time".

It just effortlessly hit all the right spots with me, the best character animation I've seen in anime period, the voice acting was just superb, they sounded like teenagers as opposed to anime actors, bgm was great and loved the insert song. The plot while simplistic was just great and touching. Masterpiece

Zero no Tsukaima - I think how much you end up liking this series will largely depend on how you feel about the characters. In my case I loved the cast and it's easy to look over it's faults (when not to glarring like some in the 2nd season...) when you do. Louise is just awesome and is my favorite Kugimiya Rie Tsundere role by quite a margin. Saito is better than 99.9% of harem male leads and the supporting cast is pretty good. While this only ended up getting a Very Good rating I probably enjoyed it more than a few titles I ended up rating Excellent. Very Good

Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi - New director is a hack, some scenes and moments are still great but the constant overuse of boob and explosion jokes got old fast. Some real nice fan service scenes though (catsuit, princess in ep 6!) which of course came from the original source material though unlike all the lame boob jokes. Half of Ep 12 was just great... you will believe someone can walk into Mordor lol... the last minute.... director needs to be shot. Good

[Shawaazu]

Utawarerumono: Omake Theater

I didn't know which DVDs the first two episodes were in until I checked the back. :P I watched the last two episodes yesterday and the first two today.

[Makunouchi]

Hunter X Hunter - My final thoughts are a bit mingled because it ended right where it's been peaking in story quality... but in general I consider this show to be much better than Yu Yu Hakusho. The four main characters are likable, and it's still very much an adventure story rather than a generic fighting show. I'm glad they stopped in the middle instead of just creating endless amounts of fillers... like that other show did.

Akagi - Incredibly stylish, from the art style to the whole yakuza element of things. If you don't know the first thing about Mahjong, you'll be sucked into the psychological battles that stem from it. These games happen to be very exciting, all things told. The only downfall of this series would be just like HXH, is that it ended on a very large cliffhanger. If they cut out the episode where Akagi explained how he won a single round and gave us an epilogue on ep 26... I would have been more than satisfied. Still, despite that small shortcoming, this is a very high end show.

[Sushikins]

Lucky ☆ Star
Finished the last 6 episodes this morning. Another great show by KyoAni, who seem to make shows I enjoy consistently. My favorite characters would have to be Konata and Kagami, their interaction with each other had some of my favorite moments in the entire series. I also liked their friend who drew the doujins (can't remember her name), but scenes with her were amusing, especially when Yutaka asked her about Yaoi. Really, once again too many parodies and in-jokes to count, which I can assume I only caught a fraction of which, but I really liked whenever they parodied or joked about Haruhi, especially the fortune telling in episode 24, plus references to Air and Kanon were amusing, especially the credits with Potato and Sora. The dance scene in 24 was pretty cool, maybe not Hare Hare Yukai level, but enjoyable all the same, though it would've been nice to see the live version. And hey, it has hot-blooded Tomokazu Seki, you can't go wrong with that. Well, if it does get licensed over here, I plan on picking up the DVDs, since its a good show that I definitely wouldn't mind re-watching again at some point down the road. In the end, I'll give it a Very Good and it'll go into my Favorites section on ANN.

[Soaker87]

Just finished Princess Tutu and loved it. It was way more interesting than I could've imagined from the title and premise. Thought it'd just be girly fluff, but it turned out to be very dark.

[Shawaazu]

Pani Poni Dash!

I wouldn't say it's one of my favorites, but I liked it a lot. It was like a cross between Azumanga Daioh and Excel Saga.

[Shawaazu]

Maburaho

I've seen better, but at least it wasn't boring. Some parts were too crazy for that.

[gameoffreak8]

I just finished Umisho and Simoun last night.

I enjoyed Umisho so far. Lots of hilarious scenes. Of course, lots of WTF moments. Hopefully, it will have the second season someday. Good

Simoun have great music and interesting characters. I really loved the ending and I nearly cried during the ending. It felt hauntingly depressing to me. Overall, this series was very great. It have a good storyline and ending, and I really loved it so far. Each main character have their own character development. My favorite characters are Aaeru and Neviril. The Emerald Ri Mājon was interesting as I thought. Few questions I need to answer, so I guess I will PM to Mr. Tines. I would recommend this series to yuri fans. Masterpiece

[Westlo]

I've been waiting for Simoun to be released on DVD, I've heard nothing but good things about it from a lot of fans on AOD/Suki whose opinions I respect.

[mdauben]

As fansubbing of Spring and Summer shows continues to wrap up, I finished three more series:

El Cazador de la Bruja - This turned out to be a pretty good action/adventure series, with hints of shoujo-ai mixed in. The two main characters were interesting and likable. The only complaint (if I can call it that) is that the final episode was pretty pointless. The climax to the series occured in ep 25, and the whole of ep 26 was just an epiloge, that could have been done in the last 10 minutes of the final episode. Still, the whole series if not exceptional was worthwhile and enjoyable. :)

Kenkō Zenrakei Suieibu Umishō - A fun, ecchi comedy series, with a little bit of romance thrown in for flavor. The ending strongly hinted at a possible second season (as the team qualified for the national swimming championships), and I would certainly welcome another one. My favorite character has to be the girl Shizuoka, a shy, easily embarrassed, closet pervert. :lol:

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS - The longest of the three Nanoha series at 26 episodes, it also had the largest cast of characters. Some of the "training" episodes did seem to drag on a bit, but a lot of that time was spent introducing and developing the numberous new characters in this season. I think that might be the main flaw of this series, in that there were just too many characters, all with their own separate motivations, backstories and plot threads. In the end, the message of all three Nanoha series are the same, if you love someone, beat the living hell out of them to show it. :P

So, all in all, three good ones in a row! ^_^

[DazarGaidin]

As fansubbing of Spring and Summer shows continues to wrap up, I finished three more series:

El Cazador de la Bruja - This turned out to be a pretty good action/adventure series, with hints of shoujo-ai mixed in. The two main characters were interesting and likable. The only complaint (if I can call it that) is that the final episode was pretty pointless. The climax to the series occured in ep 25, and the whole of ep 26 was just an epiloge, that could have been done in the last 10 minutes of the final episode. Still, the whole series if not exceptional was worthwhile and enjoyable. :)


I love epilogue, i mean, after a series is over isn't nice to revisit it/find out what they do from there ..and you don't have to wait years for an ova

I finished Umisho - It was a really funny series, i usually don't go for fanservice shows but this one used it in such a comical/parody fashion that it didn't bother me. I really liked at the very very end when they kiss, it was about time :)

[mdauben]

Oh, I normally enjoy epilogues, too. I just thought that an entire episode for an epilogue was a bit too much. It wasn't like it was terrible or anything, I just thought that it was a poor... directorial decision. :naughty:

[kunomchu]

devil may cry

kinda disappointed at the lack of action. Story was good tho

[Mr. Tines]

Gankutsuo -- very good, very pretty.

Nanoha StrikerS -- needed more beamspam earlier. Also, I need to rewatch it without the delays for subbing.

[Westlo]

Lucky Star - Fun series overall, I really enjoyed the interactions between the main cast. A lot of the characters they introduced at the end where quite fun as well, 22 was really good but I wish Lucky Channel didn't exist... what a waste of time.. gimme 2 episodes of Konata and gang instead of this please. Very Good

[mdauben]

I wish Lucky Channel didn't exist... what a waste of time.. gimme 2 episodes of Konata and gang instead of this please.
Interesting how different oppinions can be. I thought that if the whole series was as funny as the Lucky Channel bits at the end, I might have watched more than the 2-3 episodes I did before dropping the series. :lol:

[VSh]

Toward the Terra - another post-apocalyptic series, remake of very old anime movie (1980). It was good enough to watch once. The plot was a bit silly for scifi. The art looked simplified and was outsourced abroad, I think. The music was OK, exclude crappy pop in OP in first half of series - I could bare it only ones. ED "Love is..." was very good - rip off "Pachelbel's Canon", it reminded me "Komm, susser Tod..." somehow. Characters were alive, but their behavior was unnatural sometimes.

[DazarGaidin]

Busou Renkin - This series seemed pretty lame at first sight, but it is actually really good. It mixes silly comedy, shonen action, and *shocker* pretty awesome romance. The characters are great. I loved the ending, even tho some would argue against such a tidy happy ending.

[Tonyx35]

Umisho - I thought that it was a fun series overall just some wacky characters and situations.

[Levon]

DearS. I enjoyed this show very much to my surprise, I diddn't think I'd like it and I diddn't like it at first but I found it very funny. Ren is very cute^_^ And I absolutely love the dub. New Generation Pictures never disapoints with such dubs as this, Hellsing, Kamichu, Gun X Sword, Ergo Proxy, Haibane Renmei, NieA_7, Paranoia Agent, Texhnolyze, R.O.D. TV, The Melody of Oblivion, etc.

[gameoffreak8]

I just finished Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS few minutes ago.

Damn, Nanoha is powerful than Hayate. O_o If I were cyborg or Jail, I better watch out for Nanoha. No mage with SSS rank yet even I thought Vivio is a SSS mage, haha. Anyway, it have lots of training but I don't mind. Hayate need to have more actions. It will have the fourth season since it's popular in Japan. Masterpiece

About Zest:
I am surprised that Zest was pwned by single Cyborg. -_-;

As Mr. Tines say, It needed more beamspam earlier.

I've been waiting for Simoun to be released on DVD, I've heard nothing but good things about it from a lot of fans on AOD/Suki whose opinions I respect.

Well, if you don't mind about gay and transsexual.

[Levon]

Pani Poni Dash! After a while the comedy started to get a little lame but I still like it. Ichijo & her little sister are the most funny:lol:

[J Dude]

Masterpiece

That's a bit surprising in my opinion, though I probably won't enjoy Nanoha StrikerS nearly as much as you seemed to have once I get around to watching it, if you ended up giving it a Masterpiece. Then again I'm looking at your ANN list and see Masterpiece next to a lot of stuff that I only thought was good and etc. To each our own opinions, but maybe you should check out something like Monster or something and then maybe you'll really see what a true Masterpiece is. Your rankings are very interesting to say the least, but we all have our own opinions as I said.

[gameoffreak8]

We have the different taste on genre, characters, storyline, etc. I was supposed to rate Excellent on Claymore since it have the poor ending, but it's not bad, IMO. Of course, I put lots of Masterpiece on anime. It's because I have a good reason to put it. I did looked at your ANN, and I found out that you rate Masterpiece on Dragonball and Dragonball Z while I rate Not really good on Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT.

Let me explain why that I rate Masterpiece on Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS.

It have a soild storyline and great characters. New and returning characters have their own character development and it's done. It may have lots of training, but they need to have more training so they can protect their comrade, otherwise, they don't know what they do. That's why Nahoha have to teach them a lot. It have awesome fights and each characters have cool magic attacks. The weak points are Hayate didn't show her true power and Zafira don't change his true form. >_> If I didn't watch CCS as Magical Girl, I will probably never watch the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha for sure.

As you said earlier, we have our own opinions. ;)

[HatsumiShinogu]

Rurouni Kenshin
It was really a good watch and I truly enjoyed it. Definitely one of the best titles.

[ZeroRyoko1974]

Umisho, thanks to the mermaid swimming style of amaro they won the team medley

[DazarGaidin]

Devil May Cry - THis was a so-so anime that is a good time filler. It didn't have much a of a plot to speak of and tried waaaaay too hard to be cool and stylish. I liked the character personalities of Dante, Patty, and the multi colored eyed Lady tho. I think maybe with a little less victory poses and overwhelming power from Dante, and 12 more eps it coulda been good.

[lav2k4]

I did looked at your ANN, and I found out that you rate Masterpiece on Dragonball and Dragonball Z while I rate Not really good on Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT.



It all depends on how you were exposed to the series, and what version you watched. This is most likely the case with you and pretty much a lot of other people. GT is **** in both languages so it really doesn't matter.

DB/DBZ never gets a fair ranking. It's like judging One Piece based off of the 4 kids dub. Not going to be a positive judgement at all.

[Shawaazu]

Rurouni Kenshin
It was really a good watch and I truly enjoyed it. Definitely one of the best titles.
Though the anime wasn't as good as the manga, I would still have to agree. It was one of my first "real" anime (not aimed towards children like Pokemon), and it's one of the few that have remained as my favorites. ^_^

[Westlo]

I just finished Nanoha StrikerS and while it's the worst entry in the Nanoha franchise it's still good enough to recieve a Very Good rating in my eyes at least. One of the main strengths of the Nanoha franchise is that the antagonists are usually well developed and unfortunately that's just not the case with this series. I know they got double the amount of episodes compared to past series but there was no need to more than double the already large cast of characters. Not only did a lot of villains get next to no development they ended up shafting a lot of the cast from the first two seasons.

Subaru the new main protagonist really only stood out in one episode in the entire series for me, that episode being #17 which also happens to be my fav episode from all 3 series of Nanoha.

I still liked a lot of stuff and I'll definitely be ready for the 4th season which I'm sure is coming since each Nanoha season has managed to more than double it's previous in DVD sales.

[SoulfulFX]

'X-TV'. A very beautifully done story...very complete feeling throughout and with the meaningful messages I love to take away from my shows.

[HatsumiShinogu]

Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~

[HatsumiShinogu]

Angel's Feather

[HatsumiShinogu]

Gakuen Heaven

[DazarGaidin]

Darker than Black - This anime was great, very good writing, art and animation. It was overall very tragic, like Gunslinger Girl, but had a bit of a meatier plot to it. Some of the characters were really engaging and well developed, they didnt just leave characters flat, even seemingly bit players. Loved the police woman Misaki ( i think), she was awesome (and a looker too), and Yin was so cute, especially when she made herself smile :). I am glad at the end she was with Hei.

[TK]

My last series was Nodame Cantabile.
Was ok overall, started to get a bit rushed towards the end though.

Hoping they get the go ahead for a second series so i can see what they get upto in Europe. I would read the manga but so far behind >_<

[realergo]

I'd better make this an intro. Hi all anime fans out there!

Last series I watched to very end was Ergo Proxy. This one really took hold of me, except for a couple of fillers. Plus frosty Re-L Mayer is a stylish chick.

I had a many year void between that and the previous one: Berserk - which destroyed me how he cashed them all in - if you don't know what I'm on about - good! Track it down now coz it's awesome :)

[Levon]

The "ending" was like something out of Clive Barker^_^

[realergo]

The "ending" was like something out of Clive Barker^_^

I think i sat there for an hour wondering what had gone on. I looked it up and other folks summarised it from the manga so that it framed into some sort of sense. Awesome up till then though. It's got to be up there with the greats I think.

When I first saw the ending I didn't like it, but when you read the manga it all makes sense & is one of the best parts in the anime I think. It just sucks there isn't more.

[Shawaazu]

Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ (Series and OAV)

[LOSTyears]

G Gundam- I knew this show was down my ally ^_^ epic battles, one liners, manly tear moments, over the top attacks and characters. Its strength lies in the battles and raw intensity, the art can be a bit sketchy(especially during fights) but thats just its own unique style. Plot-wise is actually pretty decent, the Devil Gundam was just one of those nemesis that just would not go away no matter who was controlling it. Though Master Asia has burned a small place in my heart for favorite villians. My only gripes would have to be the final ep.which was almost too cheesy for me(love love final attack -_-; ), and as great as the battles were at times I would have liked to have seen more of a deeper connection between the characters beyond the fights(maybe thats a bit too much to ask for with this show). There was more than enough action & epic moments throughout the series for me to overlook those things. Though not quite as godly as GGG, it was enough to quench my thirst. A very different approach to the Gundam universe and you'd probably would have to be a hardcore mech/action fan to really get into it but worth a try nontheless.

[BearShare]

Utawarerumono
Wished I had started this earlier. It was an excellent solid series, with a lot of unquie twists.

[Levon]

Utawarerumono (second time, this time dubbed on DVD)
Melody of Oblivion (Really weird! Not satisfied.)

[Shawaazu]

Peach Girl

I thought it was going to be pretty bad, but every episode got better and it turned out to be really good. ^_^

[proxie]

i just finished kannon 2006. it's was a realllly good series ^_^

[Mandeo]

I just finished re-watching trigun because I love that series but as far as "new" series I watched pani poni dash! in my anime club and thought the parodies were pretty funny ^_^

[YuriFanboy]

I just finished Kashimashi. Awesome series:)

[Kagura]

Fullmetal Alchemist

[LinaLoN]

Kodocha. Wonderful series full of comedy and drama all in one neat little package. I wish the ending was a bit more upbeat and went the way I was hoping.

[HatsumiShinogu]

Sentimental Journey

[Panko Z]

ROD TV

twas alright, a bit overrated imo

[Thousand Eyes]

School Days
The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye

Both were very solid titles. I enjoyed them a lot.

[Justinian]

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokoru-chan, it was awesome...

[LOSTyears]

Idolmaster Xenoglossia-Very unique title based off a game; considering theres hardly any back story on the plot or any characters(only gripe) it turned out pretty good, with so many charcters I guess that would be asking for too much. A strong story with Haruka being a very likeable main character, had its serious and fun moments with surprisingly not alot of angst(a plus for me). Another plus would be the interesting mech designs that gave equally interesting battles. Good pacing from beginning to end, feel good finale that felt wrapped up. Definitley one of the more overlooked shows of last season, recommend to just about everyone. Like I said don't expect much background from what I mentioned above but its still holds its own.

[BearShare]

Chrono Crusade-Great shounen series. The ending was truly melancholic. I didn't shed a tear though. I enjoyed the series.
7.5/10

[VSh]

Crest/Banner of the Stars I, II, III, Birth - enjoyable scifi series. One of the worst dubs I've watched, when sub was good. OVAs (Crest of the Stars: Birth and Banner of the Stars III) were the best of the series. Next was Crest of the Stars. Banner of the Stars I and II were mediocre and deteriorating to the end. Plot was silly in many parts (coffins on orbit :eek: or prisoners evacuation, for example). Stupidity of boy and girl... eh, noblemen... was charming infinite, girl was a bit better though. Other characters were also interesting. Music was so-so.

[HatsumiShinogu]

Shakugan no Shana

[mdauben]

I just finished watching a series called Himawari! this morning. A pretty average story about a young girl who aspires to be a ninja, and believes one of her teachers is the mysterious ninja who saved her life as a child. Not a bad series, but nothing really special about it.

Unfortunatly, it left a lot of plot thread dangling for the second season (Himawari!! <-note the second "!"), which was broadcast in January 2007 but, as far as I can determine, no one has bothered to fansub it. Unless someone subs the second season, I would not recomend bothering with the first. :P

[fujyoshi]

probably heroic age.

[DazarGaidin]

Ergo Proxy and Air - Both Masterpieces, even if they are about as different as you can get :)

Ergo Proxy- was a little confusing at times but in the end i think it all came together very well and makes a lot of sense, well except maybe ergo's very last statement. I loved the dark and gritty style, because they mainly pulled it off in a believable way (in other words, they didn't come off as trying to be gritty and dark just for the sake of being that way). I love Pino, awesome character if i ever saw one, and cuteness rating is off the charts :)

Air - I had put this off for like a year because people told me that the ending was so catastrophically depressing that i might kill myself. Well, it was an awesome anime, and no sadder than the kanon makoto arc. I think people were exaggerating a lot. I cried yes, and it was dramatic, but it was good and didn't leave me depressed.

[mdauben]

I think people were exaggerating a lot. I cried yes, and it was dramatic, but it was good and didn't leave me depressed.
I'm sure this varies from person to person, but I personally felt Air was much more depressing than Kanon 2006.

After watching Air, and the heartwrenching and pathetic death of Misuzu, I was literally depressed for days. The fact nothing was accomplished, that her soul was no closer being released from her curse just made it that much more tragic and hard to accept.
In Kanon 2006 wathing Makoto slowly fade away was just as heartwreching, but becuase the ending of the anime was more up-beat, and everyone survived (including Makoto, although returned to her original form as a fox), the feeling was not so depressing for me.
There's no doubt they are both excellent series, though. :)

[Mandeo]

Paniponi Dash =) now it is finally time to sit down and finish chrono crusade although I know it will be sad :(

Nadia: Secrent of Blue Water. Only took me 3 or 4 years to complete:lol: The Island arc sucks & almost ruined it for me, those eps should be skipped. Other than those episodes it was great, those last episodes you can REALLY see Anno in it.

Here I thought I took a long time watching Nadia... The island episodes totally ruined my rhythm and it's a shame since the rest is really good. But man, those episodes sucked. It would be better fit for 26 episodes. Ever seen Secret of Cerulean Sand (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=477)? It follows a similar story line and I think it's the better of the two.

[CitizenGeek]

Last anime series I finished was my re-watching of Evanegelion. It's such an amazing anime!

Welcome to the NHK. I love this series now.

Don't forget to watch the awesome movie :thumbsup: I've heard nothing but GREAT things about it.

:lol:

I downloaded/burned it all but havn't watched it yet.



Here I thought I took a long time watching Nadia...

Its been 5 or 6 years since I started You're Under Arrest S1 & I still never completed it yet, watching it VERY slowly. I'm near the end though.
It depends how much I love a show, sometimes I can watch a show in a day or two...or sometimes years.

[Shawaazu]

Not really a series, but Tsubasa Chronicle season one.

[HatsumiShinogu]

Samurai X
It was definitely a good watch. Personally, I liked the TV series more but the OVAs were very good, as well.

[Hisoka]

I'll continue avoiding the Nadia movie...

Major Season 3
What is everyone waiting for? Major rocks fellas... I wouldn't lie, you know? The glorious high school years are all but wrapped up and it's so cool to watch this kid grow from about 5 years of age till the very end of HS. Now with season 4 only a few months from airing (I can't wait) we're heading to the pro game which should be very exciting and different from the rest. You know you want to watch it.

[lav2k4]

I'll continue avoiding the Nadia movie...

Major Season 3
What is everyone waiting for?

After Cyber Formula, I will jump right in, no doubt.

[gameoffreak8]

I just finished Kaze no Stigma today. It's a good series, and it have lot of hilarious moments and romance moments. I really enjoyed it so far. I think it will have the second season because the ending certainly left the story open. Kazuma's past was very interesting to me. It need to have more character development on few characters. I actually thought that all people know about Kannagi, but I am wrong about that. Kazuma is very funny and Katherine, Tsuo Rin, and Ayano are very cute. I personally liked it. Excellent

That scene almost make me WTF:
Kazuma want to know about Tsuo Rin's last thoughts, and Lapis said, "Kazuma, I want to kill you."

One question I want to know:
Is Tsuo Rin a mage? If not, why she was sacrificed even she isn't a mage?

[DazarGaidin]

I'm sure this varies from person to person, but I personally felt Air was much more depressing than Kanon 2006.

There's no doubt they are both excellent series, though. :)

Actually She was closer than ever before this time around, because the dude used the will of his ancestors to make it possible for him to be with her as a crow (crows too are said to carry messages from this world to the next like her, hence the bit at the end) so she isn't going to be alone. Also she got to be loved by her mom, which is really all she wanted anyway.

[Shawaazu]

Jigoku Shoujo
Overall, it was decent.

[Justinian]

AIR

(filler)

[mdauben]

I finally finished watching Gunbuster last night. Overall, it was a very good series, but not without a couple of serious flaws. To my mind the worst problem was it really suffered from being only 6 episodes. Much of the development of the characters and story seemd rushed and incomplete, and could have benefitted from more time. It's too bad it could not have been done as a 12-13 episode series, instead.

Second, was the fact that the last episode was mostly in B&W. I'm not sure if they were trying to acomplish some sort of artistic vision for that episode, but to me it just seemed cheap. It was like they ran out of money and were trying to pad out the last episode with lots of sketches left over from the storyboarding. Meh.

A classic, perhaps, but IMO it unfortunatly falls well short of being a masterpiece. :naughty:

[Thousand Eyes]

"Hajime no Ippo" - It's probably one of the most addictive series that I've ever marathoned. I stayed up till 2 A.M. watching the second fight between Sendo and Makunouchi.

Now I need to watch the special and OVA.

[Levon]

To my mind the worst problem was it really suffered from being only 6 episodes. Much of the development of the characters and story seemd rushed and incomplete, and could have benefitted from more time. It's too bad it could not have been done as a 12-13 episode series, instead.

That my biggest complaint about the series, but I get into a debate with fans when I say it-_-; Some stories work great that short & some don't, still worked good but not to a masterpiece level IMO.

[Panko Z]

Samurai Champloo

excellent all the way, completely surpassed my expectations (wasn't expecting much cuz of the way people overhype Cowboy Bepop)

[Phantom]

Uninhabited-planet-survive

I went into this series hoping for a story about people trying to survive on a planet that they knew nothing about. Trying to find food and water, building somewhere to live and helping each other though the hardships and this series didn't disappoint me one bit. I wasn't that happy that they went away from this a bit half way though the series but the changes in the focus were handled well and added to the overall story without completely changing things to much. I loved the characters and they were all very different from each other but all came together to help each other make it though each day. Thats the main thing to take away from this series, that if you have friends you can help and count on and if you do the same for them you will make it though the hard times and come out of it together.

I thoroughly recommend this series to anyone who wants a story about friends banding together and trying to survive in a unfamiler place.

[mdauben]

Okay, I just finished Wings of Rean. At only 6 episodes things were a bit rushed, and some of the plot elements were a little unclear due to lack to time to properly explain them. Still, I was enjoying it right up to the point where...

The battle is over, the Hojo army is returned to Byson Wells, leaving Aesop and Ryukusu in the real world, and when it seems the two will have a happy-ever-after ending... SHE BLOWS AWAY in a cloud of cherry blossoms!?! WTH!?! That has to the the stupidest ending I have ever seen!
Gah! Another series I can cross off my "to buy" list. <_<

King of Bandit Jing in Seventh Heaven (OAV)

[DazarGaidin]

Last Exile - One of the best series i have seen in a while, very good. After i watched all the episodes I have absolutely nothing to complain about in this series. Pretty epic story, great action, drama, slight romance, comedy, good animation, good artwork, nice conclusive ending. I was sad to see some of the characters bite it, some of which died very anti-climatically considering, but even that makes sense and adds to the gritty sorta flavor. I think its funny the 'Guild' are just like "THe Third" from my favorite anime The Third: Girl with the Blue Eye. Clearly done by the same people. If you haven't seen it, i suggest you do.

[HatsumiShinogu]

To Heart
It was quite enjoyable. I want to see more of it.

[Sushikins]

Hajime no Ippo
Incredible. That's all I can say about this show, is Incredible. The characters, the story, the music, the fights, the comedy, everything was just incredible. I cannot recall ever getting so pumped up for fights in any series like I did in this one, especially the final match, which was just epic.

The rematch against Sendo was so damn epic, I was pumped up before the bell even rang, and that carried over through the entire fight. I haven't been that excited watching anything, real life or on television, in a very long time.

Hajime no Ippo Champion Road
Good fight here, Ippo never fails to impress. More amusing antics from Takamura, Aoki and Kimura. And Liver Blow > Gazelle Punch > Dempsey Roll Combo FTW!

Kimura vs. Mashiba
Damn good OVA, the fight was pretty intense. I didn't know who would win till the very end. Great stuff.

I know exactly what I'm giving this show. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and watch this show.

MASTERPIECE

[Hisoka]

^ Were you stomping your feet at the end?

[Sushikins]

^ Were you stomping your feet at the end?

It's possible, I know I was punching my fist into my palm I was so pumped up, but my whole body was in motion I was so fired up.

[lav2k4]

Sports anime is so epic. It could be about ****ing Frisbee, I bet it would be damn awesome.

[Hisoka]

The best part about the last fight is how long it was built up for. You get a whole volume worth of pre-fight preparations and you're about to explode with anticipation. Even the ring walks were exciting, the split crowd reaction, insert songs playing at the right moments. It's the perfect fight and lived up to the hype.

It could be about ****ing Frisbee, I bet it would be damn awesome.

Where do I sign?

[Neo-Samauri]

I just finished up Comic Party last night(second time). I love the series, but i feel as if they rushed the end way too much. They could of easily dragged it on a few more episodes but o well i still enjoyed it.

[Shawaazu]

To Heart
It was quite enjoyable. I want to see more of it.
Isn't there a sequel called "To Heart 2?"

[HatsumiShinogu]

Yes, there is. It is yet to be licensed, though. The thing is, To Heart 2 has different characters than To Heart.

[Hisoka]

To Heart 2 has a completely new cast. There is actually a follow up to the original called To Heart: Remember my Memories which is a direct continuation. It hasn't been licensed yet and can be found via the fansubs which are all done.

I believe its geared more towards Aura Battler Dunbine fans. I'm a Aura Battler Dunbine/Tomino fan but even I don't care much for it-_-; The DVDs are far too expensive, I rented the first volume only. I'll have to rent the rest at rentanime some time but I'm in no rush to see it.

Absolutely loved it. The music, the art, the characters, the story, everything.

Now how am I suppose to find another mecha to replace this?

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6300) (Re-watch)
Still as excellent as the first time I watched it. A sad, yet touching story, it is easily one of my favorites in all the anime I've seen. I'd love to see the live action TV Drama that aired in Japan, subbed or not. I still feel it is something more people should watch.

[VSh]

Claymore - sea of blood, hills of bodies. Very impressive anime, though a bit disappointing in the end. Dramatic and tense plot - they are living in terrible world. Art is very good, cool girls fighting monsters provide great opportunities, but some transformations look silly in my opinion. Background music is great, but opening and ending can't be worse. Overall, it is very good anime... I need some light comedy now... with music of the same composer as BGM, preferable... WOW... What a choice...

[LOSTyears]

Turn A Gundam-This was very enjoyable, a different approach from what Tomino has put out in the franchise. Very light hearted in the carnage and major death department, which I liked cause it gave us an
opportunity to get attached to the characters. Loran(very likeable), Sochie(not so much) and Harry being my favorites among the group. In terms of plot and characters no one aspect of this show really stood out(besides the Turn A which grew on me), it was just sit back and watch this thing unfold. Story was an similar fashion to others, faction vs faction, prejudice, world ending weapons, etc. Though the whole Kihel/Dianna switch and Guins shifty nature added a little more depth to it. Loved the references from other series that were thrown in too :thumbsup: Thought the the end was very odd, plausible but really left us to intepret a few things. Not my favorite in the gundam world(Zeta, 0079 still tops) but definitley a worthy addition. A good watch for any gundam fan.

mine was fullmetal alchemist, .hack//sign and azumanga daioh

[Phantom]

Baccano - I found the style of this series a bit confusing at the start and it made it a bit taxing to follow early on but the story's for each character all tie into each other very well in the end. Mid way it made me want to watch the next episode right away. I am glad that i waited until now to watch this show as i would have had a hard time remembering what is going on.

[lunarvesperia]

Honey&Clover,first season though.
Cant wait to check up the second one!

[animelover5]

Chrono Crusade, Death Note and Inuyasha

[BlueWingedKami]

Literally Just Finished the 4 DVD collection of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

So beautiful in so many ways.

Yet, How did I know it was going to just drop off with no ending like that....... It's Always the best ones that end too shortly.

[Shawaazu]

There is a second season coming next year.

[Kohana]

I just marathoned peach girl... all 25 eps, i was cheering on Osayaku (i hope i spelt that right...) from the start (^_^)

[BlueWingedKami]

There is a second season coming next year.

(Hoping your talking to me)

Yeah, I was praying for that. I normally don't watch a series until I have the full set. It's just that I just bought the Full set (extras included..... I'm such a sucker) and, had seen the Special ending to it and fell in love with it, So I just had to watch it.

[Shawaazu]

^ Yep, I was talking to you. :)

Kohana: I'm honestly surprised that you could marathon Peach Girl. I would go nuts if I watched too many episodes of that series at one time. -_-;

[sothis]

For me it was Noein... I'd strongly recommend that no one else waits months between each volume, as the story goes from confusing to pretty much non-understandable. :/ Still an overall enjoyable series, though (especiallly if you are into quantum physics)

[lunarvesperia]

Honey&Clover fully finished.Didnt like the ending though.

[Shawaazu]

Saiyuki Reload Gunlock

Out of all the seasons, I liked this one the least. I was looking forward to the Hazel arc, but I didn't like the way it was done in the anime. Volume eight of the manga doesn't come out until next summer, so I may download some scanlations to see how the manga turns out.

I liked Reload Gunlock i felt really sorry for Gato and what happened to him in his past, i think Sayuki as a anime is underrated!

[DazarGaidin]

I just finished Planetes...wow, what a great anime! I was a little worried around ep 24 but it turned out great...I highly recommend this anime to anyone!

[Shawaazu]

I liked Reload Gunlock i felt really sorry for Gato and what happened to him in his past, i think Sayuki as a anime is underrated!

I never said I didn't like it, just that it was the one I liked the least. Have you read the manga? If you liked the anime, you'll love the manga. ;)

[Misaki]

I just finished blood+ and I loved every minute of it. It was quite emotional.

[Bisu]

Aria the Animation.

I wasn't expecting much from such a mellow, relaxing, and slow-paced series such as this (which made it unlike any anime series I had ever seen before), but I actually enjoyed every episode. I'll be hoping for a license, as unlikely as it may seem.

[HatsumiShinogu]

Oniisama e (third time)

[mdauben]

I just finished watching Kamisama Kazoku this evening. It's a nice fantasy/high-school/romantic comedy about a boy who is secretly the son of a diety, and his childhood friend (a girl, of course!) who is an angel. Worth watching if you enjoy the genre.

[Levon]

Strawberry Marshmallow - Very funny & cute show. It ranks up there with Azumanga Daoih. I really wish Geneon released the OVA, I really love the dub(I'm a Carol-Anne Day fan). I consider it Blue Waters best dub.

I think my favorite episode was the fat episode.

"Want some chips, chubby?" - Miu

[Kohana]

Kohana: I'm honestly surprised that you could marathon Peach Girl. I would go nuts if I watched too many episodes of that series at one time. -_-;

yeh i was up til like 4 am watching it, fried my brain cells n didnt bother sleepin in the end, simply coz i couldnt! lol it was one where i just had to know what happens next, i dunno i get like that some times.

Watched School days 3 - 12 yesterday, i really want to know where i can find the game so i can see what the other endings could have been... That anime was soooooo good shame about the black blood tho, i honestly felt sorry for Makoto even ho he turned into a man*****, sekai was evil and twisted and totally messed up Katsura and Makoto's lives man.... tsk tsk...

[lunarvesperia]

Rozen Maiden Traumend.I loved the series allover,but i dont know about the ending.

[Sushikins]

Byousoku 5 Centimeter
Wow, this was an incredible movie. The detail in the characters, music, animation, sounds, everything was brilliantly done in ways not many have pulled off. One of the best movies I've seen in general and definitely one of the best anime I've seen. Masterpiece.

[mdauben]

I just finished watching the last episode of Heroic Age. I have to say, I was not overly impressed with the first couple episodes, but is seemed like after that it just took off and turned into a non-stop roller coster ride. One exciting episode after another, and a great, satisfying ending.

I'd say its my favorite action series of 2007. A definet must-watch. :)

[YuriFanboy]

I just finished watching Ninja Nonsense. It was really funny. The box came with Shinobu's headband and an Onsokumaru sqeeze toy. It's awesome:lol:

[BearShare]

Finished Monster yesterday after 1 month of watching episode by episode.

[Westlo]

Baccano! - Delightful series with a large and wonderful cast of characters. With the multiple stories taking place in multiple time frames it's great as you progress through the series to put everything together. One of the most fun anime titles I've seen with some great action and comedy scenes with its strongest points being the characters and narrative. I'm praying for light novels 5-13 to be animated and looking forward to the DVD only episodes. Rating = Masterpiece.

Candy Boy ONA - I really enjoyed this and I'm hoping a tv series is announced sometime in 2008. Very short so it's hard to rate but I'll give it a Good.

Highlander Vengeance - Nice animation by Madhouse and even though I liked Highlander this really didn't do much for me, ending was way to cliche as well... Rating = Weak

Terra E - Another great anime from the stellar Spring 07 season... one word to describe Terra e would be epic. The two main characters Jomy & Keith are wonderfully developed throughout the series which spans half a generation. Supporting characters are also very well done and the plot/stpry was nice, Keith left me guessing at what he would do next a few times. Music is also one of the best for the year, episodes 21+22 were awesome but I felt the ending while decent was a little lacking. Rating = Excellent

[Dreamstryder]

Princess Tutu: If you loved Revolutionary Girl Utena or adored The Vision of Escaflowne, I fear I cannot recommend this series enough. It doesn't even have any filler episodes! Wai! It's one of those sophisticated magical girl shows: an exploration of roles in a fairy tale versus roles in real life. Past episode 12 it doubles in intensity, but it's not a series that drags up until then. I believe it's also a different waltz from what the manga was, and the creators left myriad little secrets for attentive people to discover...

Samurai 7: Definately a samurai flick, up to the white OWARI on screen at the end. While the original Kurosawa film commented on the lot of the samurai-turned-ronin in a warless age, Samurai 7 adds in the lot of the merchant, whose monetary power challenges the status power of the samurai. This is all from Japanes history, people! Anyway, found it built on the classic nicely, and with some neat sci-fi concepts mixed in.

[Tonyx35]

Cardcaptor Sakura TV - 70 episodes of fun. Sakura goes from always asking for help from Kero to figuring solutions on her own or taking charge with the Sakura cards, seeing her powers increase and how Sakura and Shaoran's relationship came about. The song when Sakura activates her wand? got stuck in my head for a while I watching this series :) I found myself looking forward to seeing what the next card would look like, what it could do etc. ( really liked the designs for the cards).

Tomoyo may be cute but I found her to be quite odd due to the whole Videotaping of Sakura's adventures and then watching them again in her home theater lol :P Still some of those costumes were cool looking (I found them all Interesting at the very least).

I actually watched the Movies first (due to the fact that I had an easier time finding them) I enjoyed them both very much, more so as far as the 2nd one is concerned:)

One of the few magical girl shows that I really enjoyed (the other is Akizukin Cha Cha)

[Sushikins]

Ginban Kaleidoscope
I liked the concept of this show when I started watching it a few years ago, but never really managed to focus on it due to other shows. The characters are fun, as is the story, and the show manages to get better with each episode. Good

[HatsumiShinogu]

Utawarerumono

[Sushikins]

Dancouga Nova
Not too bad of a series, though it could've been better. The characters were good, but they all could've afforded a bit more character development. The series rushes itself at the end though, and tells the real important part of the story in 3 episodes. If they had given the series maybe even just 2 more episodes of time to work with, it could've been a little better. Mecha designs were alright, nothing I had complaints with. Music only stood out on a few occasions, but I liked the OP and ED themes. Once again, nothing really special, but fun to watch. Fine.

[lunarvesperia]

Code Geass season 1.It was great.

i only hope it wasnt Nunally that got shoted,the other 2 was ok to get shoted xD
But i think Kallen shoted Lulu because she went crazy from his betrayal.
I prefer out Suzaku,i never liked him much:'YES MY LORD,YES YOUR HIGHNESS!!!!' yikes!
Also:poor Euphie.She didnt deserve an ending like this.Was a massacre.I cried for the 11s at this point,and less for her though.And Villeta Nu,surprised me.When did she got her memories back,when they attacked her?
She is absolutely the prettiest girl in Code Geass,but i felt sorry for Ogi after.

[Sushikins]

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
I was planning on spreading this out over 3-4 days, but I got hooked around episode 6 and didn't look back, watching it till the end at around 4am. The show is easily some of Gainax's finest works, next to Gunbuster and Evangelion. The characters are memorable and many of them great, love'em of hate'em. Simoun, Kamina, Yoko and Nia were great characters, but of course, many of the supporting characters also played major roles and many managed to stand out. The music was excellent and fit the show perfectly (though, some of the choices were indeed odd, like "Libra Me From Hell", which I'll add was an absolutely awesome song). And the fights...the fights were so damn epic. I can't recall how many times I said to myself "did they really just do that?", the scale and awesomeness of the fights blow just about everything else I've seen out of the water, especially the final fight. The mecha themselves were also awesome, especially the many times Gurren Lagann upgrades itself, and the various Ganmen also had great designs. The show gave me goosebumps on multiple occasions and got the adrenaline rushing during certain battles as well. And what do I get, one of the best mecha shows I've seen, only matched by Gunbuster. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that the past 30 days have been some of the best when it comes to watching anime in my life to date. Hajime no Ippo, Byousoku 5 Centimeters and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, such great shows. Masterpiece

[Hnoozer]

Ghost Hunt. And that was a while back too.

[Sushikins]

After War Gundam X
Thus ends my viewing of Gundam X, the second Gundam series I've watched that took me over a year to fully view. Gundam X is, in my opinion, definitely one of the better entries in the franchise, alongside G Gundam, Turn A, and Zeta. Like G and Turn A, X does something different from the traditional Gundam mold, and it does it very well. Garrod has to be one of my favorite Gundam pilots in the franchise, and Shagia and Olba are probably some of the best antagonists the franchise has seen as well. It did end rather abruptly, something I was sad to see, but since it wasn't the creator's fault the show got canceled 10 episodes early, I won't fault it for that. Excellent.

[Lord Timaeus]

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I spent about $200 on this, I'm wasting over twice as much space on my shelf as I should with four DVD cases, and I ended up watching the series in chronological order anyway, thereby making my investment in the LEs a total waste. Still, it was a good series; even the token moeblob Mikuru wasn't as annoying as, say, Orihime from Bleach.

No, this doesn't mean I'm investing in any other KyoAni titles other than the eventual sequels to Haruhi and Full Metal Panic.

[Sushikins]

Zero no Tsukaima
Meh, what a boring series. The characters, the action, the music, all of it was really boring, so much so that I practically had to force myself to keep watching the last two episodes. It was also horribly anti-climatic, here we have this big war that looks like will carry over to season two, but it doesn't even last half an episode. Its not bad, but its also not good either, and I doubt I'll watch season two. Average.

Yeah stay away from season 2.

Candy Boy ONA - sweet little 8 minute yuri. Since it was so short, I don't know what to think of it.

[Westlo]

The war does carry over into season 2 but if you didn't like the first season of ZnT you should probably avoid the second like the plague. They try to cram 5 light novels into 12 episodes as opposed to the 3 used for season 1. Has horrible pacing, lame "anime original" boob jokes, spends too much time on a stupid side plot while rushing the big moments of the series in the last episode. They also decided to ignore the majority of the 8th novel which was pretty much full of character development and instead used one event from that to make a lame boob joke.

As I said to you earlier, the only thing remotely worthwhile in that show is to hear Rie Kugimiya, and then that's not even worth the trouble of watching it. You'd be better off watching Shakugan no Shana just for that.

[Mr. Tines]

Dennou Coil.

Which didn't fall apart during the big reveal, unlike many anime (Higurashi Kai, I'm looking at you).

There was a "Go on, kiss her you idiot!" moment just before the ED credits ran, but then they just had to do an epilog.

[emotoaster]

Code Geass
Marathoned the whole series and was impressed. I hope the dub is good, but the original voice work was amazing, as was the animation. I didn't think I would like the show that much since CLAMP did the character designs but they grew on me. Can't wait for season 2. DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGERS!!!!!!!111111111111

[lunarvesperia]

I just finished Ergo Proxy.
The ending episodes saved all the anime,hehe,was pure win.
Its a generally good anime,that looses a bit to how is builting up the story at the middle episodes,with amazing ending.
I rated it 8,but my bf thinks that its a 10 :P

[Caifane]

Guyver TV

The show itself was entertaining. Im not too happy with the way the 7th volume ended though. I'd like to read the manga and see the differences between the two.

[VidelCoolGirl]

Mai-HiME

Its funny, because I dropped this after watching Otome, and assuming HiME sucked just as hard. Of course, five episodes in, and I wished I could have pulled a marathon. I finished 14 through 26 basically in the span of one night, although over the span of two days. (Downloaded 14-20 and watched, later that day, watched 21-26). I'm probably going to buy the DVDs when I actually get the money, its well worth it.

And if its one thing I got from the series, is that Batshit crazy lesbians equal for lolz.

[mdauben]

After War Gundam X
Thus ends my viewing of Gundam X, the second Gundam series I've watched that took me over a year to fully view. Gundam X is, in my opinion, definitely one of the better entries in the franchise.
Between other ongoing series, I have been watching Gundam X lately. I watched the first half-dozen or so episodes, and I have to agree that it's quite good. For some reason, the Gundam series are something that I want to like, but so many of them just don't really click with me. This one for whatever reason has and I'm looking forward to watching more of it. :naughty:

[Hisoka]

This one for whatever reason has and I'm looking forward to watching more of it. :naughty:

That's because Gundam X is the best in the entire franchise and probably only five other people in this world will agree with me. :lol: Want to be the sixth member?

[Levon]

Guyver TV

The show itself was entertaining. Im not too happy with the way the 7th volume ended though. I'd like to read the manga and see the differences between the two.

The manga is still running for over 20 years. So it would be super long to make an anime and of course there wouldn't be an ending because there is no ending yet.
The TV series went longer than previous Guyver anime though and it ended at the end of a chapter and doesn't feel as large of a clifhanger as past Guyver anime.
Theres always a chance of more, I hope.


Oh, as for the manga. Viz has released only 7 volumes. A company in Singapore I believe has been translating past that though, but kinda hard to find/buy.

[mdauben]

That's because Gundam X is the best in the entire franchise and probably only five other people in this world will agree with me. :lol: Want to be the sixth member?
Can I get a temporary memebership in the group until I finish the rest of the series? :lol:

[VSh]

Genshiken & OVA & Kujibiki Unbalance OVA - not so good, actually, but funny and very educational. I wish they used more BGM from OST, which is pretty good.

[Kohana]

"All my sisters are in love with me" i cant remember the japanese name for it. it reminded me of strawberry panic but lacked a dramatic ending, it just left a big ol empty space :(

[lunarvesperia]

Baccano:
This series started strange,but after the scenario developed beautifully.
Awesome action,characters and really enjoyable.
Recommended to all that dont mind a bit of violence in their series,and want to watch something really different.
Halfway i thought i was watching Tarantino movie,and i really love him :D
Really smart also.
I rate it Excellent

[Grand Zamboa]

Re: Cutie Honey

I was surprised by how good this was.

[Hisoka]

Lord of Lords Ryu Knight TV
When something take me over two months to complete that just isn't a good sign. The TV series is a bit better than the OVA, just way too damn long. It's a very average adventure series and those should never be more than 26 episodes.

Can I get a temporary memebership in the group until I finish the rest of the series? :lol:

There is a long waiting list so i'll have to pull some strings. ;)

[Phantom]

Gundam 0079 - This had the real war feel that all UC Gundam shows tend to have. The crew and Zeon alike both plan out missions and tactics as well as trying to get supply's. You also see normal people suffer with a lot of it off screen like losing so many colonies. The characters were a good bunch and amuro wasn't the hard as nails lead that you see nowadays in Gundam shows. He showed his emotions a lot throughout the series. The zeon couldn't even hit the guntank and whitebase a lot of the time which was funny as they arn't even moving half the time and the battleships of both sides shouldn't be destroyed by mobile suit weaponry so easily. Overall a good series.

[germanturkey]

i finished Aria the Animation last night. high quality show. very slow pace and slice of life, if you're into that stuff.

moving on to Aria the Natural

[Ryuu74]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Probably the best war series out there, and perhaps one of the best series, period. It's rare that a series can pull off character deaths to my satisfaction, but this one managed to do it right each and every time. It manages to hold a plot for its whole 110-episode run without seeming like it was being unnecessarily dragged out; They even cut out the OP and ED sequences for content space in some episodes, and cut out the commercial break time in the last 2 or 3 eps.

[u_nick]

Nagarase Airantou

Pretty standard for the most part, but overall fun to watch. Good characters with good character designs, cute talking animals and all that jazz.

The second to last episode had some action, and it was surprisingly VERY nicely animated, especially considering the type of show. And the final episode ended up more sweet, (and i guess 'more emotional'), than I expected.

I'm really surprised that it hasnt been licensed here yet, as it seems like the type that would do well here.

[CMC]

Cromartie High School

As many had told me, Freddie Mercury was indeed in it. And weird as hell it may have been, and make no sense what so ever, it was hilarious. I particularly found the DVD menus of volume 3 funny as hell. It was like having Stephen Hawking tell me how a DVD works, total win.

[DazarGaidin]

Dennou Coil: A Masterpiece this season, very interesting story with deep undercurrents and a fantastic ending, dealing with life, pain, and reality. If you havent watched this i suggest you give it a shot, by the end you wont be disappointed.

[Sushikins]

Azumanga Daioh
Damn good, thats all I can really say. It started off a bit slowly, but once everyone got introduced and things started settling it, the 2nd half of the show really picked up and I laughed my *** off many times. Oddly enough, when I originally watched parts of Azumanga a few years back, I never cared for Kagura, but she ended up being my favorite character, followed by Chiyo-chan and Tomo. This show is indeed Excellent.

[ArcaJ]

I just finished El Cazador de la Bruja. I wasn't too convinced in the begining, so I put the show off for a month. However, I picked it back up recently and enjoyed it very much. I love how Ellis is so positive about her feelings for Nadie. It's infectious, and nice for it not to be ambiguous for a change (looking at you Noir!).

::HUGS::

Arca Jeth

[Hajime Saitou]

The second to last episode had some action, and it was surprisingly VERY nicely animated, especially considering the type of show.

The animation quality in that episode was absolute ****. I've never seen whatever you could possibly call what they did, done to a series before, and I'm not surprised that the studio that did it was FEEL.

You're confusing a fast slideshow with fluid animation. They're not the same thing. The characters bounce all over the screen with horrible gaps in their movement, but since they're moving so fast(even when it is completely out of place for someone or something to move like that), I guess it might give someone the illusion of being animated well. Didn't fool me for a second though.

The entire episode had forced, unnatural movement, that was sped up to cover up the massive imperfections. Hey that sounds like FEEL's mission statement. :thumbsup:

I can only assume they slashed the budget for that episode to 1% of what it was for the other episodes.

[DazarGaidin]

^ Yeah the eanimation was never top notch but it didn't have to be, the show was good wihout spectacular animation...it was a harem comedy lol
