What's with the Kaiji hijack?

What's wrong with that?

There's plenty of anime with good self contained episodes.

A lot of comedy anime is self contained.

Then again, the vast majority of comedy anime isn't any good.

But then you've got stuff like Cowboy Bebop.

But I've never seen your little show, and it doesn't interest me.

No way.

Akagi != Kaiji

I doubt anyone is offended, as it is indeed genuine shit.

Stupid fanservicy crapfests agitate me beyond belief.

I mean, it was so BOAR-ING. One episode problems, with one episode solutions. You have no reason to continue watching, because there's no actual plot after the first few episodes. I still maintain respect for serious, in-depth anime with admirable plots, such as Outlaw Star, Trigun, Rurouni Kenshin - but chibi anime bullshit just tics me off to the point I just can't watch it anymore.

Yeah, Kuro will want to kill me for posting this, but most Chibi anime fucking sucks. There is a fine fine line between "funny" and "annoying". Anyways, I think anime lacks dark humour. Every anime WITH dark humour tends to be amazing, so how come this year we are just getting rehashed ideas from the 90's?

Uhg, tell me about it.

I know some of you have started as well, but if not, find a chance to start Macross Frontier.
So far, Satelite has been doing a beautiful job with the animation and the screenplay is certainly on the high-tier of animations to-date.

One of the key aspects which caught my attention is the debut of Megumi Nakajima; the voice actor of Ranka who provides both her singing voice and her normal voice; an uncommon combination. Fans of Macross from over 25 years ago would recognise this move as this was the same case for Mari Iijima who voiced Lynn Minmay (Chinese: Ling Ming Mei).

I expect the best dogfights and action that the Itano Circus (among many other things) has to offer.

Just finished watching Cowboy Bebop the other day. Dike Spies. Yeah, it was pretty awsome, and it had ttaken time pretty well (I realised it debuted 10 years ago, holy shit), while there was some problems with the face art, and the usual light patches, it was pretty smooth animation, and the story was pretty damn great.

Though, the end was a bit depressing. I made use of the Lucky Star episodes I had on the computer by watching its last episode after finishing CB, sure as hell cheered me up.

Now I've started Outlaw Star. And boy, does the artwork scream nineties or what? I know that I've passed the point of no return when I start noticing things like that. When I start comparing the voice actors work (or start calling the Seiyu's, or whatever the Japanese term was again), and start learning Japanese in order to read original Manga, comparing it to the shows, please, anyone, shoot me.

What's that, random anime pics? Sure thing.

Well you have that manga at least.

I finished Last Exile. It was fantastic. Next, I'm going to watch Grave of the Fireflies....finally.

First of all, I've never seen Girls Bravo, second, I'm not interested, and third, standalone episodes are fine. Plenty of great anime work that way, such as Shin Chan and Lupin III.

Some chibi is cute, but it gets to a point where it gets annoying after a while.

That was back when the animation slightly changing to give the characters werid expressions and putting lights in the backround was considered rolf material.

"Oh wow, he totally walked in on this girl getting dressed. Then he punched him. Funny shit right here."

Then again, the vast majority of comedy anime isn't any good.

Precisely why I prefer more serious animes the majority of the time.

40 episode long anime with an interesting on somble plotline>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>40 episode long comeady anime, whether its self contained, self contained some of the time or not self contained at all.

If you ever watch it, you will understand why I think Girls Bravo is bullocks. It is perpetual standalone episodes. There are no cliffhangers, nothing to attract me to continue viewing, and it takes chibi anime bullshit to the Nth degree.

The Nth degree, I say

Ugh, yeah stand alone episodes usually only come about in fillers. If you want to watch an interesting anime I suggest Ranma, but I also suggest you avoid all stand alone episodes, as they are something the craptastic developers put it to make the series cliche.
But about Girls bravo, standalone episodes are fine as long as the plot is original, funny, and has some effect on the rest of the series, but sadly Girls bravo is basically the same thing rehashed over and over again.

At 5/13/08 08:31 PM, Grammer wrote: It is perpetual standalone

Yeah, it's the same with Lupin and Shin Chan.They're basically all standalone episodes. There are lots of awesome shows that have no continuing story.

I'm not trying to defend a show I've never seen. I'm just saying that one thing shouldn't be a reason to hate it, unless you're trying to say that it's all more of the same in each episode.

bullocks

lol I think it's funny that you meant to say something that means "balls" but you accidentally said something that HAS no balls. One letter makes a big difference!

So yeah, just post when you feel like it, it's not as if any of us can actually stop you.

No, a lot of us who watch Gundam stuff here are oldschool fans with a deep hatred of SEED and its ilk.

And whats sad is that i haven't watched a single episode subbed.

I'm just so used to dubs, i can take nearly anything.

Excel saga is good, but I feel the jokes start getting old quickly. My favorite character however is "That man"

Whenever I so much as even think about that voice, a little part of me dies.

Funny thing, the original voice actress lost her voice mid-series and had to get replaced.

So yeah, it's actually two unbearably bad voices.

That's one of dubs con's, and why I like subs.

Though, I've been forced to humble by getting a copy of Outlaw Star that has no subs, but a dub track. Well, it's not bad, matter of fact, the dub is pretty good. It's refreshing to see this side of the debate too.

Yeah, I've grown to love it. The series itself is bit like Cowboy Bebop, if using a metaphor of a night out drinking, Outlaw Star is few drinks in, laughing with your friends and playing air guitar to the jukebox, and Cowboy Bebop is 2 am, puking while waiting for the taxi.

Also, episode 23, The Hot Spring Planet Tenrai? Dumbest 30 half an hour of animated entertainment EVER. And I loved every second of it. I like a serious drama as much as the next guy, but there's a place for slapstick humour and cat-girl nipples in my heart.

I always watch Outlaw Star dubbed because that's how I remember watching it on Toonami years back. I still love that show.

You're missing out.

From what I understand "bullocks" is just another variation of saying "bullshit".

Oh, I thought you just made a typo. The word you're looking for is "bollocks". which means balls, but is used the same way "shit" or "bullshit" or "Crap" are used. Bullocks are castrated bulls. See why I found that funny?

That one was new to me when I got the DVD box set for Christmas '05 because it was never shown on Toonami.
