Watched one episode of the show.

Thought it was underwhelming.

The action scenes manage to be less exciting than the written action scenes in the visual novel.

So I've heard and I find myself not caring. I've watched plenty of bad anime and I doubt this is one of those. Seems pretty faithful to the visual novel, albiet with a little more humour and it does carry some stuff over from the other routes as opposed to just the Fate route. Still, 6 episodes in and I like it. Now, if only they can make a Tsukihime anime and make it that good.

wait, you mean there was a Tsukihime anime? Prove it. Because I don't remember it and surely don't remember is being a godawful piece of shit.

There is no Tsukihime anime

Merry christmas to all of my anime loving NG'ers here.

Nor did I.

Then again, I never wanted any.

I got shoes and 30 bucks. Was shooting for a guitar.

Me netiher.
(There's not really much to buy these days; most of the good stuff is never licensed or the licenses have been revoked.)

BTW, did anyone see the joke edits to asosbrigade.com today?
(They've taken them down since; I archived the page in case anyone wants to see it.)

No surprise I didn't get any either; I didn't ask for any, and nothing ggood is licensed here anyway.

Just watched the latest episode of Umineko no naku koro ni. I have no doubt in my mind now that Beatrice is Battler's mother.

Also, why does Battler look so much like the guy from phoenix wright?

Welcome, I like all of them exept Naruto and Mobile Suit Gundam 00,love Bleach. It seems you still have a lot things to see.

Bleach has gotten pretty stale, at least I think so.

I've never watched Bleach. looks too dumb.

I got Shin Chan season 2 part 1.

I used to like it, but I don't anymore. The first part of the series was actually pretty cool, but then it started to drag on forever and became extremely boring. Overall, it was one of my first animes, so I didn't have anything better to compare it to at the time.

I haven't watched anything in a long time, but I do plan on watching Ponyo as soon as it comes out on Blu-Ray. Hopefully I'll have an HDTV by then, that way I can watch movies without them looking like crap on my regular TV.

I just watched hellsing ova 7. Holy shit, Seras Victoria is so much more badass in this one than in the original. Can't wait for the next installment.

You can´t say that about an anime if you haven´t see it. Bleach have the five place on the most sell manga of all the world.

Yeah, that's really a reason not to watch an anime.

In case you haven't noticed, the worst anime tends to be the most popular.

It´s not the most popular and I personally feel it´s better than Naruto and Dragon Ball Z that are have more fame than it.

Amen to that. Not starting an argument, but here are some "popular" anime titles I dislike. Dragon Ball (any), Naruto, Case Closed, Death Note, and Fruit Basket. I gave all those shows a chance and they failed to impress. I have yet to try "Bleach", I will let ya'll know my opinion when I give it a fair chance.

It all comes down to the individuals opinion anyway. My favorite anime is Slayers. Some of you may think Slayes is shit. I could care less, because I love the series.

Also, since your a DBZ fan you might know the answer to my question.

Tonight, I am reading this H-novel called Secret Journey. It's so far been pretty good, haven't finished yet. Anyway there is a character named Goku who is a female Monkey demon. As soon as I read the name "Goku" I was almost instantly reminded of the main Dragon Ball character. I also remembered that Goku had a demon donkey side to him. So is this merely a coincidence, or does the term "Goku" mean Demon Monkey is some Asian legend or something?

I'm not, really. It's probably terrible. Just like almost everything I watched when I was young.

I believe the name Son Goku is a Japaneseification of the name 'Sun Wukong', the Monkey King from Journey to the West.

Wow... Once I googled "Journey to the West" it became apparent that the novel I just read "Secret Journey" is simply a Simile/Parody of Journey to the West. Almost same plot, characters, and events. Although, it was till good. I honestly never heard of Journey to the West before tonight. Apparently though, its a rather popular story. It has been remade and adapted several times over, before Secret Journey.

That's what people do to epic classical literature.

I agree with that statement. That's the junk I grew up with.

On the subject of Bleach I watch it, but it does tend to drag on a little too much, but then again doesn't a movie have parts that feel like forever?

Depends ont he mive, really. And slow sections have their reasons. Stretching a fight to several episodes serves no other purpose than stretching out the action to fill time.

I also watched DBZ when younger, but in retrospect think it was pretty stupid in most parts. To me growing up meant refined taste, but to some, it seems to mean clinging on to stuff they liked ass a kid, just more fanatically.

Another reason I never watched Bleach was that it tends to be liked by the same teens and younger ones who enjoy the likes of what you just mentioned right there. and the plot synopsis I read.

Sorry for me to jump in all unannounced again, but I've really found Soul Eater to be a good substitute for Bleach. They've both got the same premise of defeating spirits that have gone bad, but Soul Eater has a really colorful cast of characters, and it doesn't take itself seriously, so it's not super-tense like Bleach can be at times.

Also, the fight scenes in SE are definitely more in-depth and detailed.

To me, DBZ became too shitty to re-watch a long time ago (probably has something to do with the apparent shittiness) but I can still watch an episode or two, or one of the movies for the childhood memories. But Jesus Christ, you sat through a whole arc or more of DBZ RECENTLY? I'd pass out.

And by comparison, Dragonball is gold.

RE:Soul Eater, i've heard good things about it, and the artwork is deligtfully One PPiece-esque. Is it an ongoing series with 9001 episodes, though?

Yes, the manga is ongoing, but defintely not the anime: In fact, it's already finished in the East with 51 episodes. A few of them are dubbed and are over here in the States, but I don't recommend watching the dub, solely because of Black Star's English voice actor (it's veeeery Naruto-like).

Oh, and I also wanted to mention that the English dub for Spice and Wolf is just amazing, as well.
